In the sunlight, under Ai Li's slightly surprised gaze, the missing part of Xu Le's body slowly emerged, first the bones, flesh and blood, and then the skin and hair.
As Xu Le's body gradually recovered, the stone that had been hanging in his heart also fell.
In a special case, part of the promotion conditions have been met. So many people are watching and fooling so many people, does it count? I just don't know if there are any additional effects.
Ai Li's eyes flickered. Although she was secretly relieved to see that Xu Le was fine, when Xu Le really recovered completely, her face turned cold.
"Warlocks really are all guys who love to deceive people."
The corner of Xu Le's mouth twitched. He felt that what Ai Li said had a double meaning, or even a triple meaning.
"I used my own abilities to heal myself. Is there anything unreasonable about that?"
"Am I talking about recovery?"
"So what are you talking about?"
"Psycho." Seeing that Xu Le was fine, Ai Li wanted to get up and leave. Her injuries were very serious. Even if her body was very strong, delaying like this would likely leave hidden dangers.
"Wait." Xu Le suddenly grabbed Ai Li and didn't let her leave at this time.
Xu Le has recovered, but Ai Li's injuries have not healed at all. The girl with serious injuries looks weak and powerless.
Ai Li, who was held by Xu Le, staggered immediately, and Xu Le supported her.
Well, there is no other action.
"Let go."
"You'll fall if I let you go?" Although he said this, Xu Le still withdrew his hand with a guilty conscience.
Ai Li's brows turned into a frown and he said coldly:
"If you're well, go back. Why are you still staying here?"
After asking this question, Xu Le's expression suddenly became serious, because what was about to happen next was indeed very important to him.
"From now on, you have to follow my instructions."
"Follow your arrangements?" Ai Li seemed a little puzzled.
“Yes, from now on, the character I will play will be a Black Tide Warrior who was severely injured and hammered to death, but miraculously survived.
In the future, I will appear with a broken leg and a broken arm, so you have to cooperate with me..."
"Why do you do this? Are you deliberately playing the victim to gain sympathy?"
"Yes, it was to gain sympathy, so I asked you to take me to this deserted place and use the healing technique to recover."
Ai Li didn't expect Xu Le to admit his thoughts so directly, but she still didn't understand this way of gaining sympathy.
“Why do you do this?”
Xu Le knew that if he didn't give Ai Li a reason, it would be difficult for her to do such a thing given her personality.
so…
"I did this for my own advancement, but I also took you into consideration."
"Considering me?"
"Do you remember how I addressed you in front of the law enforcement captain just now?"
Ai Li was slightly stunned. That happened not long ago, of course she remembered it.
Xu Le calls her...my love.
Ai Li stared at Xu Le, his expression suddenly becoming strange. What were those words? A compromise in a desperate situation? A tease? Or... Was he possibly serious at all
"What do you mean
"As a man, you should always take some responsibility for what you say. If you are a lover, you should act like a lover."
Xu Le's expression was a little confused. He was indeed doing this for himself and for promotion.
Xu Le didn't know to what extent he had to give 3 correct instructions. In fact, Xu Le had already felt the wrong guidance of the law enforcement captain just now, and Ai Li had the same feeling now.
But he felt that this was not enough, and the so-called explicit indication and misunderstanding should be more than that.
In addition to his own promotion conditions, Xu Le's other intention was that he didn't want Ai Li to bear the past reputations of being a deserter from the army, a love-brained person, or a sorcerer's lackey.
For a woman, such a title is not a compliment.
Zhang Nuoan is dead, and Rewi Alley has also come out of the shadow of the past.
If her so-called lover was a hero who fought bravely in the black tide and turned the tide, then other people who did not know the truth would naturally beautify her past. People are like that.
Ai Li is no longer the same person she used to be, and she is not the love-brained person that many people say she is.
It's just that she has always had her own ideals.
"So, you want me to play your lover?"
"Yes, can I?"
Hearing Xu Le's question, Ai Li raised his head slightly and gave Xu Le an 80.
At least it was a positive response. Of course, Xu Le did not say everything, and Rewi Alley did not force an answer.
She was secretly happy that she could talk to this point, but she would not show it.
"I know what to do next."
"Now go find the communicator and contact Secretary Liu. He may be very busy, but I think when you contact him, he should have made arrangements for us."
"Secretary Liu? Got it."
Ai Li nodded and was about to go out, but Xu Le called her at this time.
"Act more realistically."
"You don't need to teach me."
Without saying a word, Ai Li pulled the bed sheet out from under Xu Le, then drew out his dagger and stabbed Xu Le's arms and thighs.
Puff puff!
Xu Le: ?
"Uh, what are you doing?"
"If a guy with broken arms and legs is not bleeding, that's the most suspicious thing. Don't worry, the injury is not serious. I know my limits."
Xu Le paused. Although what Ai Li said made sense, he still felt that this woman was seeking revenge.
A large amount of blood was squeezed out of Xu Le's arms and legs, and Ai Li almost dyed the sheets red, and then wrapped the sheets around Xu Le.
Finally, she picked up Xu Le by the waist.
"Hey wait, your injury?"
"I'm not as weak as you think." Ai Li said firmly.
Xu Le curled his lips in his heart. He was almost unable to stand just now, but now he was trying to hold on here. This woman...
Ai Li rushed into the crowd holding Xu Le:
"Communicator, is there a communicator? I need to contact Secretary Liu. He has a way to treat my lover. Please help me."
Ai Li's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. After a few law enforcers were stunned for a moment, they quickly took out the military's exclusive Moonstone communicator.
"Here, the communicator is here."
"Thank you, thank you." Ai Li nodded to everyone.
While Ai Li was speaking, Xu Le frowned slightly with a hint of struggle, then leaned into Ai Li's arms.
Well, he was badly injured and almost unconscious, so it was totally reasonable for him to approach him like this.
Ai Li frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything more at this time. Although Xu Le's behavior was very bastard, she couldn't let him be exposed.
Leaning in Ai Li's arms, Xu Le's mouth corners almost curled up. They were so big and firm!
While thinking, Xu Le twisted his head twice and rubbed it.
The corners of Ai Li's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
The other law enforcers saw the two of them relying on each other and being affectionate, and they couldn't bear to disturb them too much at this time.
"You're welcome, Ms. Ai Li, if there's anything I can help you with..."
"No, I'll do the rest myself. These things must be done by warlocks. Go and treat the other wounded."
"Well, okay..."
The law enforcers had already heard about the matter of Ai Li and Xu Le from the captain of the law enforcers.
Regardless of their past, based on their performance on this Black Tide Night, they are all people worthy of respect.
After the law enforcers moved a little further away, Ai Li suddenly looked at Xu Le:
"Xu Le, what are you doing!?"
"Ugh, I'm dying, let me dial the number quickly..."
Xu Le pretended to be dead and nodded his head.
Although Ai Li was helpless, it seemed that he was not as disgusted as he had imagined.
Something is wrong. It seems that Xu Le has been using strange reasons to get close to her since a long time ago. Mu Yue’s cultivation is only the most basic, and later on there is something else... cough.
"Hello, Secretary Liu, I'm..."
"Ms. Ai Li, right? I'm very busy right now. Please let me know your current location. The Minister's personal medical team should be there in 5 minutes."
"Huh?" Ai Li was stunned. As the sheriff of the Zion Progressives, she had experience communicating with Secretary Liu before.
But the abilities he has demonstrated now are a bit terrifying if you think about it carefully.
"I am currently in Area 6, near Siping Street. There is a huge black tree here. Xu Le and I are right under the tree."
"Okay, I understand. Please be patient."
After saying that, Secretary Liu hung up the phone. This person... is really weird.
Ai Li suddenly thought that Xu Le's words just now seemed to reveal that he knew Secretary Liu's ability, so he asked:
"Xu Le, does Secretary Liu's ability have some prophetic effect?"
"I'm not sure either. Maybe he's also a Red Moon Warlock."
Xu Le was not sure what abilities a normal level 3 and 4 Red Moon Warlock had, but as of now, a level 1-2 Red Moon Warlock definitely did not have this kind of ability to predict the future.
If you think about it carefully, it’s not like he can predict the future. There are many things Secretary Liu doesn’t know either.
"I think his ability is more like a special conjecture."
"Guess."
Being able to guess what other people are thinking is indeed a very powerful ability. At least as a secretary, it is very convenient to be able to guess part of your boss's thoughts.
Ai Li came back to his senses and suddenly felt Xu Le still pushing, so he pushed him to the ground.
His head banged loudly.
"What are you doing?" Xu Le was a little dissatisfied.
"I can't hold you anymore."
This time, Ai Li really didn't want to hold Xu Le, and she was not lying. Considering her injuries, holding Xu Le was really a very tiring thing.
Five minutes later, Li Wen's private medical vehicle arrived. There were only two people in the car, a driver and a doctor.
"We were sent by Secretary Liu."
"It's troublesome."
The two men got out of the car in silence and carried Xu Le into the car. Ai Li followed.
He left the black tree under the watchful eyes of many law enforcers.
…
On the way, the doctor looked at Xu Le and frowned slightly.
"If you are not injured, sit up. I need to treat the real wounded."
"Um, okay." Xu Le sat up embarrassedly, found some hemostatic medicine from the medicine box, and applied it to himself.
After Xu Le left the medical bed, Ai Li lay down.
Without saying anything, the doctor injected her with some unknown medicine.
Xu Le was slightly worried after seeing this, but he did not ask about the identities of the two people or consider whether the people sent by Li Wen were reliable. That would be meaningless.
The only thing Xu Le can do now is to care about Ai Li's current condition.
"Doctor, how is Ai Li doing?"
"Severe fractures, blood loss, and overload. Even a high-level warrior cannot use his body like this."
“Will there be any sequelae?”
"Her body is stronger than you think, and she is not that delicate. However, you have to tell her not to use violence in the next period of time. She needs at least a one-month cooling-off period."
"Got it, I'll tell her."
Hearing that Rewi Alley would not suffer any sequelae, Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief.
If a warrior has a physical disability, it would be very regrettable.
Leaning back in the chair, Xu Le relaxed his body. The thrilling Red Moon Disaster made him very tired, but he knew he couldn't just sleep in the car.
Now that the Red Moon Calamity is over, he will enter the mother tree when he falls asleep for the first time. He needs to wait for a while until he reaches a safer environment.
The car drove quickly through the block and finally they stopped in front of the Zion Progressive Building.
What shocked Xu Le was that the gate of Zion Progressors was gone, and there was a huge earthen corpse sitting at the door.
There was a lot of black ashes scattered around, as well as something like stone slurry.
"What's this?"
"The Molten Giant, also known as the Flame Mountain God, is an ancient species of god, but it has been completely extinguished. It's just that it hasn't completely cooled down yet. Someone will take care of it after it cools down."
As soon as the doctor got out of the car, two young nurses came up to assist Rewi Alley and carried her towards the Zion Progressive Building.
Xu Le didn't say anything, and he stopped slightly when he passed the Molten Giant.
Even at a distance of about 1 meter, Xu Le could still feel the obvious residual heat.
This means that the core of the Molten Giant in front of us may not have completely cooled down.
"An ancient god species that attacks the Zion Progress Building..."
"Okay, come on, there's a queue for the elevator now."
“Oh, here it comes.”
Xu Le hurriedly followed, and it happened that Ai Li was assigned to the medical area on the 8th floor again, still in the same room as before, but this time the beds were clearly divided into male and female beds.
There were many injured people, so people like Xu Le, whose injuries were not serious, would naturally not be arranged to be hospitalized.
After watching Rewi Alley enter the operating room, Xu Le looked at the doctors:
"doctor."
"You should go out and rest for a while. She has a lot of broken bones all over her body. It won't happen that fast."
"Uh, okay."
Xu Le nodded. He did have other things to do now.
He first found a place to change into a security guard's uniform, disguised himself simply, and then quickly walked down the stairs.
Coming downstairs, Xu Le found that some shops on the street were already open. Zion's main defense had not been breached by the monsters, so except for the areas where the black trees and the night scrolls appeared, other places were intact.
This was indeed a successful defense of the Kuroshio.
Xu Le came to the door of a convenience store and bought a red and yellow angry mask from the goods hanging on the shelf and put it on his face.
Then he went to a clothing store and bought the cheapest suit to wear.
After getting his new outfit, Xu Le went to a hotel, booked a room for himself and moved in directly.
"Ahem, I'm Xiong Nuoan, ahem, my name is Xiong Nuoan, I, Xiong Nuoan..."
Xu Le practiced his accent repeatedly. This process lasted for about 5-6 minutes, and he confirmed that his tone had changed.
He lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
…
Crash!
After the experiences of the previous two times, Xu Le stood firmly in the water flow of the Black Mother Tree Realm.
Touching the mask on his face, Xu Le felt a little relieved. If he didn't have the mask, he would probably have to hide.
Following the light in the darkness, Xu Le walked towards the mother tree.
He had no intention of hiding his footsteps, so when he stepped on the water, making a splashing sound, the other destined ones in the Black Mother Tree Realm had already discovered Xu Le.
The bald man, the old man, the child, the fat man, and of course Chi Xiao who was sitting on the stone, and Luo Juya who was standing aside and being timid.
Luo Juya was still wearing her simple attire. If one did not have a clear understanding of her, one would really be deceived by her kind and weak appearance.
The looks of the others were filled with scrutiny and special meanings, only Chi Xiao's looked strange.
She had already recognized Xu Le.
After taking a look at the ugly angry mask and his slightly old-fashioned suit, Chi Xiao's comment was... Really ugly.
"Kid, where are you from? What's your name? Take off your mask and show it to me."
The person who spoke was the little child, but Xu Le had already learned from Chi Xiao that this person was not a child at all, but a dwarf.
When he asked Xu Le's name now, he actually had some tentative intentions.
At this time, Xu Le showed hesitation.
"My name is Xiong Nuoan, I'm from Zion, but forget about the mask, my appearance is really a bit special, it's not convenient for me to meet people."
After hearing Xu Le's answer, the others didn't say much.
In the underworld, because of previous conflicts, everyone is wary of each other, so they are reserved in what they say and do.
Plus there is Chi Xiao, a slightly transcendent existence.
Xu Le was unwilling to take off his mask, and they would not force him at this time.
Only Luo Juya raised his eyebrows slightly. His last name is Xiong? What a coincidence.
Seeing that no one wanted to talk, Xu Le naturally didn't want to let the atmosphere become dull. He came here today with such an identity, of course, not just to disguise and avoid Luo Juya.
He needs a reasonable opportunity and a chance to show his abilities.
And now is his chance.
"Um, I want to ask, where is this place? Why am I here?"
Chi Xiao looked at Xu Le's pretending look and wanted to hit him on the head with a hammer, but he held back in the end.
By this time, she had already guessed some of Xu Le's thoughts.
joint.
If Xu Le's idea can be realized, the value of the Black Mother Tree Realm can be truly reflected.
Rather than being a simple place to harvest fruits like it is today.
"This is the realm of the Mother Tree, the place of Gu Yinduo's destiny, and the place where the fruits of Gu Yinduo are harvested. Newcomer, from today on, you are the old 7 here."
When Chi Xiao was speaking, the others were stunned for a moment.
As the undisputed boss, leader, and strongest person in the world of black mother tree, whether openly or secretly.
Chi Xiao has always held a very transcendent position here.
The people here respected her, but had no intention of interacting with her. It always remained a delicate relationship.
Now Chi Xiao, who is usually indifferent, actually took the initiative to greet a newcomer. This is very interesting.
Is there something special about this newcomer
When the others looked at Xu Le, Xu Le scratched his head and said with a smile:
"Okay, thanks for your answer. Why are you looking at me like this? Is there anything special about me?"
It's special that Chi Xiao took the initiative to talk to you... Most people think so.
Luo Juya looked at Chi Xiao. She had had secret contact with Chi Xiao before and had a transaction with him. She knew very well that Chi Xiao was a rather cold person.
This kind of situation where he actively talks to a newcomer is obviously not in line with Chi Xiao's character.
Unless Chi Xiao already knew this person.
She felt that if Chi Xiao and the masked man knew each other, there would definitely be some interaction between them in the future.
Luo Juya remained silent, watching everything in front of him quietly, waiting for the answer to appear.
"Okay, I have other things to do today, let's get started."
Chi Xiao's actions surprised everyone else. As usual, Chi Xiao was always the last one to choose the fruit.
This time she actually chose first. Was it really because something happened
As Chi Xiao stood in front of the mother tree, surging ancient Yinduo energy erupted, and a thick branch with four ancient Yinduo fruits extended down.
The scene of Chi Xiao choosing fruits naturally attracted everyone's attention.
What kind of fruit will she choose
Just as Chi Xiao reached out for the second fruit, Xu Le, who had been ignored, suddenly spoke:
"Hey, wait, you'd better not choose that fruit."
Everyone was stunned. This kid actually interrupted the selection of fruits at this time. He really doesn't know how to live or die!
Chi Xiao is not the kind of person who has a fixed place. She has been wandering around all the time. This is something that many people present know.
If he really angered her, would Chi Xiao catch him and kill him on the street? He couldn't rule out this possibility.
At this time, Chi Xiao, who was interrupted, turned his head with a frosty face:
"Why? Give me a reason."
Judging from his tone and expression, Chi Xiao seemed to be really angry, and the others were secretly looking forward to what would happen next.
Only Luo Juya, who had always been in an objective state, discovered the clues.
"If these two people know each other, then are their actions at this moment acting? Why are they acting out such a show?"
Luo Juya can be considered a person in a high position.
She is well aware that performance in any situation has a purpose.
If the masked man and Chi Xiao are really performing, then they may have only two purposes.
The first is that Chi Xiao wants to integrate the realm of the black mother tree, and the arrival of the masked man is her opportunity to integrate the seven people of destiny.
Second, she wanted to demonstrate the masked man's abilities through some means, so that other people here would recognize the masked man's strength and status as quickly as possible.
Luo Juya felt that his inference was very reasonable and there shouldn't be too much error.
So, who is the masked man and what abilities will he display
As everyone watched the show, Xu Le pushed the mask on his face, just like he pushed his glasses in Zion.
"The second fruit is the Heart Energy Fruit - Lust. Although I am not a powerful warlock, I still know the value of the Heart Energy Fruit. So this lady should not choose the second fruit."
After Xu Le said this, the others were stunned at first, and then they couldn't believe it.
The more unrestrained old man and child took two steps forward and asked:
“Can you see the results of your selection?”
"Can I see only one, or all of them?"
Not only these two people, but also the bald man and fat man next to them had faces full of surprise and confusion.
Being able to see through the ability of the Guyinduo fruit, this sounds a little unreal.
"Can you really see it?" asked the fierce bald man.
Xu Le did not answer immediately, but looked at Chi Xiao in front of the tree:
"You are not the ones who made the choice, so your inquiry has nothing to do with this matter. The real key point lies in this Miss Chi Xiao. Are you willing to believe me?"
Luo Juya on the side already understood the purpose of Xu Le and Chi Xiao. They definitely knew each other and had a special relationship.
They should have been prepared for this moment.
The only thing that makes Luo Juya uncertain is whether the masked man's ability is real
If he was colluding with Chi Xiao to deceive everyone, then what they were doing now was completely meaningless.
But if his abilities are real...
While Luo Juya was thinking about these questions, Chi Xiao had already spoken:
"If you can see, tell me what these four fruits are."
"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you.
The first fruit is the fruit of longevity.
The third fruit is the lower element - rock
The fourth fruit is a high-level creature - the Glacier Giant Bear
That should be clear enough, right?"
Xu Le spoke with a very confident tone, but this confidence made others feel unreal.
Can you really see it
If Xu Le can really see the choice of the fruit, then do they have the same opportunity
Not only the others, but even Luo Juya, who had always been calm, began to tremble slightly at this moment.
Advanced creature-Glacier giant bear
There was a deal between her and Chi Xiao. Although the fruit of the giant glacier bear was completely incompatible with Xiong Zemo, the powerful vitality and physical strength of the advanced ancient creature could already nourish Xiong Zemo's weak body.
It can even be said that after eating the fruit of the glacier giant bear, Xiong Zemo may even be able to get rid of the wheelchair and stand up again.
This was a temptation she could not resist no matter what.
Luo Juya looked at Chi Xiao pitifully, as if hoping that Chi Xiao could choose this high-level biological fruit.
The same goes for others. They want to see whether Chi Xiao’s choice is really the same as what the masked man said.
However, Chi Xiao just pinched his chin and pondered.
"Are you sure that the fourth one is the Iceberg Giant Bear Fruit?"
"Yes, I am sure."
“What if I’m wrong?”
"If you are wrong, you are wrong. I just said that. You can choose to believe it or not."
Facing Chi Xiao, Xu Le was unexpectedly tough, as if he didn't care about Chi Xiao's attitude at all.
The others were just looking at Le He before, but now they are a little worried about Xu Le.
Is this guy a fool or not
Didn't he feel the aura emanating from Chi Xiao? This woman couldn't be touched casually!
The others looked at Chi Xiao one after another. They hoped that Chi Xiao would not be angry about this matter.
After all, abilities like the masked man's are hard to come by. If it's real, then this place can really be said to have a promising future.
"Lord Chi Xiao."
The old man wanted to give some advice, but was interrupted by Chi Xiao.
"I know what to do."
She didn't talk to Xu Le again, but turned around and reached out to take the fourth fruit hanging upside down.
After the fruit fell off the branch, an icy and ancient breath emanated from Chi Xiao's hands.
The appearance of the fruit is very clear, just like a bear's paw.
There was still a hint of coldness around.
Needless to say, this thing is a very rare high-level biological fruit. The state of the bear paw and the icy aura it exudes are completely consistent with the glacier giant bear.
So, this masked man in front of me...
Some people wanted to come forward and talk politely with Xu Le, but Chi Xiao didn't give them such an opportunity.
She looked at the fruit and raised her head slightly:
"Very good, very good. Your ability is truly amazing. I believe in the principle of equal exchange. Tell me what you want."
Chi Xiao's words stunned the others... Equivalent exchange
If you take the lead like this, how will everyone else play the emotional card
At this time, Luo Juya finally understood why Chi Xiao would cooperate with the masked man. The abilities displayed by the masked man at this time did make it possible for him to cooperate with Chi Xiao.
If we put aside the issue of strength, the masked man is even qualified to be the leader here.
After all, this ability to distinguish fruits is really amazing.
"The so-called equivalent exchange is nothing more than a precise method of making a profit."
Luo Juya saw it, but was there anything she could do? No, there was no way.
After seeing Xu Le's purpose, she had to get even closer to Xu Le and cooperate with Xu Le's requirements.
Now we have to see how much compensation Xu Le will ask from Chi Xia for choosing this high-level fruit.
The corners of Xu Le's mouth underneath the mask rose slightly. Chi Xiao cooperated very well. Although they had never rehearsed, they acted without any hesitation.
But he does have something he wants from Chi Xiao now.
"I want prosthetic limbs like Lord Chi Xiao's, ones that can cover my arms and thighs. One hand and one foot will do."
"You want a prosthetic limb? Who uses it?"
"I use it myself." Xu Le said indifferently.
The others were shocked, and then they realized that Xu Le's arms and feet had been hidden all along.
Are they all broken
As expected, after God gives people something, he will take away other things.
After they knew that Xu Le had some physical defects, their envy was much less.
"Do you know how my prosthetic limbs were made?" Chi Xiao did not agree immediately.
"That's why I need this."
Chi Xiao was also surprised by Xu Le's request. They were just acting.
Originally, Xu Le wanted some expensive stuff, but when they met in the Mother Tree Realm, they could just trade it back. It was very convenient.
But if you make a prosthetic limb and don’t wear it next time, won’t it be exposed
"Okay, I can forge you a pair of prosthetic limbs for one hand and one foot as a reward for your choice."
"Thank you very much."
After Chi Xiao made his choice, Baldy came to the Mother Tree Realm as the second in command. He even used some honorifics to address Xu Le:
"Mr. Xiong Nuoan, can you help me see what fruits I will get?"
After the bald man asked the question, it was not just him who was waiting for the answer, but everyone here.
Equivalent exchange!
