Luo Xiaolou was lying on the bed sweating profusely and gasping for breath. After experiencing the danger of his life, it was such a big surprise. On the one hand, Luo Xiaolou was ecstatic, but on the other hand, he was a little scared.
But why does this happen? Thinking of this, Luo Xiaolou raised his hand and brought the energy stone containing strange energy to him. It is slightly smaller than other energy stones, and it is exactly the one Yuan Xi hit this afternoon. According to Luo Xiaolou's comparison with the first energy stone, the energy in this small energy stone is almost five times that of ordinary first-level energy stones!
Moreover, the energy properties inside are also different. The energy in those ordinary power stones can be directly absorbed at will, which is closer to white energy. This piece is the gray energy that can only be absorbed through transformation.
So that Guardian Beast is so powerful? Luo Xiaolou thought that the time when Yuan used to kill the guardian beast was almost exactly the same as the time when he killed the four guardian beasts in the morning.
"How do you feel now?" 125 asked with concern.
Luo Xiaolou closed his eyes and slowly felt, "Well, the mental power seems to have tripled in an instant, and the source of consciousness has also returned, but the amount of savings is very small. I am fine and feel very comfortable."
In the past, Luo Xiaolou first came into contact with and applied the source of consciousness. It can be said that he was more familiar with the source of consciousness instinctively. He even thought that his spiritual power existed in the form of source of consciousness.
But now, when the source of consciousness is very weak, he has clearly discovered that these two kinds of power are not exactly the same, and can exist at the same time.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiaolou sat up, took another energy stone, carefully confirmed that it was ordinary white energy, and began to input the source of consciousness. The instant feeling of comfort almost made Luo Xiaolou cry out, and 125 quietly moved his paw to Luo Xiaolou's hand again. No matter what kind of energy, as long as it passes through Luo Xiaolou's hand, it can become absorbed energy.
The 125 cherishes this energy, which will allow it to drive itself for a longer period of time.
Soon, it took almost only two cycles, and the energy inside was completely absorbed by the source of consciousness. Luo Xiaolou's source of consciousness recovered a bit. He closed his eyes and looked around. The range immediately widened a lot. He could see Li Jie and Xiao Qiao gesticulating in the yard.
Luo Xiaolou's heart moved, and he carefully moved the source of consciousness to his yard, to the room next to Lisuo.
One person was sitting on a side chair, while the other was standing in the widest part of the room and flexing his fists.
Luo Xiaolou was excited for a while, and was about to take a closer look, but the person in the middle suddenly stopped his movements and looked in Luo Xiaolou's direction. The eyes are stern and familiar, just like the past.
Forced by that too powerful aura, Luo Xiaolou stopped breathing, and then he realized that he seemed to have underestimated those powerful people with his own source of consciousness. Some strong people with strong physical strength have equally keen perception. At least Yuan Xi found him! And as soon as the coercion of a master came out, Luo Xiaolou immediately felt panicked.
However, soon, when Li Suo by the window was about to ask questions, Yuan Xi started to move again, as if nothing had happened.
Luo Xiaolou sweated secretly, knowing that Yuan Xi already knew that he was peeping. Although this is not very glorious, Luo Xiaolou is still a little reluctant to look away. If it was someone else, Luo Xiaolou would never have looked at it so carefully. Even if you scout the situation, you can control yourself to ignore certain details.
But when it comes to the past, Luo Xiaolou can't help feeling a little itchy.
The original movement is still the same, changing from slow to fast. Gradually, Luo Xiaolou's observation of the source of consciousness began to fail to keep up with the original speed. In the past, when Luo Xiaolou couldn't see clearly the physical exercises of Yuan Xi with his naked eyes, he could still slightly see the trajectory of Yuan Xi's movements with his source of consciousness. But now, he clearly felt the strain.
Yuan Xi's physical strength has increased to an unbelievable level, no! Luo Xiaolou suddenly thought that the environment of the gray cave had an impact on Yuan Xi's body, that's why Yuan Xi was so weak when he just arrived.
But now, Yuan Xi is even stronger than before.
These days, Luo Xiaolou was by Yuan Xi's side every day, knowing his efforts and hardships, and also witnessed his growth. However, he did not expect that Yuan Xi's growth rate would be so large!
After admiring for a while, Luo Xiaolou reluctantly looked away, but actually he couldn't see anything when he looked at him again. It's like a person who is too low in ancient martial arts to steal martial arts from a top master, which is actually not realistic at all.
I can't see the movements clearly, and I can't even understand and remember them.
Luo Xiaolou simply went to observe Lisuo by the window, and the old man looked at Yuanxi in the house with a smile, but there was a hint of melancholy in his smile. He muttered in his mouth: "Although we have found the most suitable successor for the Li family, if the successor of the collateral line is more powerful than the main family, I don't know if it will be too much..."
Although Luo Xiaolou didn't know what Li Suo meant, he said that Yuan Xi was amazing, so he couldn't help but smile.
He took a breath, and took out another first-level energy stone.
125's eyes are about to shine, it's the first time it has tasted the sweetness, even if it knew before, no one would condone it like this.
Therefore, when Luo Xiaolou put his hand on the power stone, a paw immediately stuck to it.
Luo Xiaolou ignored it and began to concentrate on tempering his spiritual power. 125 repeatedly emphasized that it is enough for him to only recover the source of consciousness, but after Luo Xiaolou has experienced a series of experiences during this period, he is really afraid that another accident will happen again. Simply grasp the mental power and the source of consciousness. The source of consciousness is powerful, but the spiritual power will not disappear.
It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Luo Xiaolou put away the fifth first-level energy stone and lay down on the bed. One is that 125 reminded him that it is too late, and the other is that he himself is getting tired. They have to get up early tomorrow, and they can't sleep for six hours now.
Yuan used to come back at two o'clock in the morning, and he was used to it these days. Before twelve o'clock, he was in the Lisuo room, and after twelve o'clock he would train by himself for another two hours.
The next day, Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou went to the Trading Center in Zone D. Yuan Xi didn't look sideways, and pushed Luo Xiaolou to the vegetable market first. Most of the people who have time to wander around here are housewives or people who don't need to go outside to get energy stones. When Yuan Xi arrived at the place, he started to put on a sullen face, and followed Luo Xiaolou closely, watching him buy vegetables, rice, and noodles.
Luo Xiaolou deliberately bought all the necessary kitchen supplies and rice noodles first, and secretly glanced at Yuan Xi, and found that his expression did not change, but his heartbeat was obviously faster, and then he turned around and bought a few fish and two boxes of sweet-looking snacks . Luo Xiaolou went to look at Yuan Xi again, and found that his face was still the same as before, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were shining with rare happiness and satisfaction.
Luo Xiaolou suppressed his smile, he felt that if he really laughed, Yuan Xi would become angry from embarrassment.
The things in the D area are expensive, but still within the acceptable range. These shared one and a half first-level power stones. There is currency in circulation here, but the power stones can also be used directly. If you need to change money, the merchant will directly find the currency in circulation for them.
Of course, if the original price hadn't been raised, the food money would have seemed quite a lot. In the gray cave where the living environment is extremely harsh, survival of the fittest and respect for the strong are almost interpreted to the extreme.
Luo Xiaolou turned his head and looked at Yuan Xi beside him. He had almost lost all the discomfort he had when he first came here, especially after Lisuo's training, he began to look like a sword drawn from its sheath, and it became sharp and eye-catching when walking in the crowd. , just like when he was in the imperial capital.
Although there is no love, admiration, but it also attracts the attention of people around.
Luo Xiaolou felt that his heart was full of happiness and pride, yes, such a powerful person—the key point is that he is still very handsome, he belongs to him!
125 felt ashamed for his foster caretaker. It had been so long, but he still drools when he looked at Yuan Xi. If this goes on for a long time, according to the emotional drama model, the husband will be arrogant, leading to empathy, and then wait for the wife to suffer so much and finally feel ashamed, and the husband suddenly realizes that the wife is his true love!
Thinking of this, 125 felt worried that the landlord's chip was starting to heat up.
Yuan Xi, who was carrying most of his things, suddenly remembered something, coughed, turned his head and gave Luo Xiaolou a warning look, "If you dare to spy on other men—like last night, I will never forgive you!"
Luo Xiaolou was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, and at the same time thought to himself, does this mean that it's okay to peep at the past...
Yuan Xi seemed a little worried, "Now! Swear to me!"
The corner of Luo Xiaolou's mouth twitched: "Well, I promise, except you, I won't peek at any other man so carefully."
Yuan Xi nodded in satisfaction, and finally added: "If you are a master, you will be very dangerous, especially when I am not around."
At noon, looking at Yuan Xi's longing eyes, Luo Xiaolou swallowed his saliva and decided to go back to cook. He was also tired of eating nutrition pills. When he was in the palace, Mr. Steward once casually mentioned that although Yuan Xi was very picky, he was not incapable of suffering.
When he was a child, he ate nutrition pills for three months during training, but he didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.
Maybe this is a way for Yuan Xi to express his concern. With Yuan Xi's awkward personality, it is not impossible.
At noon, Luo Xiaolou made a sumptuous lunch, and even Li Suo came out early and sat at the table. But Yuan Xi, after stepping into the kitchen, saw Li Suo, and forced himself back.
After Luo Xiaolou cleaned up, he habitually called Yuan Xi to come in and help. Yuan Xi glared at Luo Xiaolou, but went into the kitchen anyway. I thought silently, well, anyway, Rhodes and those people are not there, no one will see him doing such a thing...
Yuan Xi and Li Suo ate too much to talk, and Luo Xiaolou himself ate with a smile on his face. He was so happy. This is the life of normal people.
When Li Suo left contentedly, Luo Xiaolou took another bag of snacks and handed them to him, "Uncle, dessert after dinner."
Li Suo's eyes lit up, "From Wusheng's family? Yes, yes, his dim sum is the best." He happily took it, then glanced at his expressionless apprentice, hey, this kid! She is very talented, not to mention once in a hundred years, but she has such a good eye for picking a wife.
After the meal, Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou went to the second-level power stone area. When the two arrived, they found that Li Jie and Xiao Qiao were already waiting there. When Yuan Xi and the others arrived, other people from the Yi Family Ancient Martial Arts Hall also entered the second-level power stone area. When they saw Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou, they recognized Yuan Xi as the person who failed to join the Ancient Martial Arts Hall. A bit of sarcasm and ridicule.
Li Jie pretended not to see it, and greeted Yuan Xi Luo Xiaolou warmly. Yuan Xi had never looked at those people directly, let alone cared. On the contrary, Xiao Qiao blushed with anger, while Luo Xiaolou thought he was watching a play. In fact, it was indeed a good thing that Yuan Xi didn't go to Yi's house.
The four of them didn't delay, and walked carefully into the cave directly. The first-level guardian beast and the second-level guardian beast are completely different, and their strength is not just doubled.
Moreover, because they had never been here before, several people became even more curious.
They didn't dare to go far, and chose a second-level guardian beast nearby. Li Jie and Xiao Qiao drew their weapons, tried their best to protect Yuan Xi behind them, and killed them.
Both of their weapons were knives, and Xiao Qiao's was even bigger than Li Jie's, but she didn't feel any effort at all when using it.
At the moment of fighting, the three of them immediately realized the power of the second-level Guardian Beast. Its speed has almost become a phantom, and it is bigger and more ferocious!
At the beginning, Xiao Qiao and Li Jie took advantage of the tacit understanding that had always been there to make a decent move, but after a few moves, their hands and feet began to mess up. She finally understood why so many people from the Yi family played the second-level guard together beast.
As a result, Xiao Qiao's distraction caused a worse situation. The Guardian Beast saw that Xiao Qiao was the weakest of the three, so it jumped at her with all its strength. Xiao Qiao froze in fright, almost didn't know how to deal with it, she would definitely lose if she moved forward, and she would die faster if she went backward, she couldn't be faster than that beast.
At a critical moment, Li Jie pushed Xiao Qiao away and attacked the Guardian Beast by himself. Xiao Qiao's face turned pale. This time, Li Jie must be seriously injured!
However, at the last moment, the Guardian Beast suddenly turned around and roared away. The two stared blankly, only to realize that Yuan Xi had attacked the guardian beast from behind, and the black sword had pierced into the guardian beast's back.
Yuan Xi glanced down at the Guardian Beast, and when its claws swung down again, it quickly backed away, and the sword in its hand followed him steadily.
The guardian beast screamed, its back was cut open, its spine was broken, and it couldn't even stand up.
Amid Li Jie and Xiao Qiao's stunned expressions, Yuan Xi walked towards the Guardian Beast, slashed his sword across its throat, and ended the hunt.
Luo Xiaolou smiled slightly. In this comparison, the two of them seemed to be not in the same rank as Yuan Xi. What's more, the former ancient martial artist has finally achieved something in a small way.
After taking the second-level energy stone, Yuan Xi called the two of them to kill a guardian beast. Li Jie and Xiao Qiao finally stopped their daze, and Li Jie yelled strangely, "Brother Yuan, you are so amazing, I have to teach my brother well after a while!"
Luo Xiaolou was about to follow to see, when suddenly someone behind him said, "Excuse me, are you Luo Xiaolou?"
Luo Xiaolou turned around and found two people standing behind him. A young man with a friendly face said, "Hello, I'm sorry to bother you. We were introduced by a friend. I heard that you can repair the energy sword?"
"That's true, but we'll have to see if it can be repaired." Luo Xiaolou said politely, but his heart was full of joy, his energy stone arrived again.
"Please take a look." The young man was very polite and handed over his weapon.
Luo Xiaolou greeted Yuan Xi and the others, and began to help them repair their weapons.
The young man's weapon is to reinstall a power stone, and the young man next to him has a crack in his weapon.
This is really not a big deal, in order to show his professionalism, Luo Xiaolou even asked 125 to take out some of his mech repairing equipment and start repairing it. These can be repaired quickly with the source of consciousness, but seeing the two weapons in front of him, Luo Xiaolou suddenly had another idea, just to test the difference between the source of consciousness and spiritual power in repairing weapons.
So the friendly young man's weapon was repaired with the source of consciousness, while the other short young man's weapon was repaired with spiritual power. After the repair was completed, he helped the two of them activate the energy stones and awakened the flame on the weapon. , a dark purple.
The amiable young man whose weapon was repaired by the source of consciousness was particularly pleasantly surprised. His energy flame increase can be regarded as the highest, which is much higher than Ling Xiao and his companions.
The short young man was equally excited, but when he looked at the young man, he became a little depressed. However, he still happily paid for two second-level energy stones, and the young man handed over three.
Luo Xiaolou accepted it politely with a smile, and was about to thank the two for taking care of the business when he suddenly froze.
Both the gentle young man and the short young man had armbands on their arms, with two complicated words embroidered on them.
"What? What can you do?" The short young man asked in surprise.
Luo Xiaolou pointed to the pattern on the sleeves of the two men, tried to conceal the abnormality in his voice, and asked, "Excuse me, what does this pattern mean?"
