Chapter 28 [Dragon Scale Flying Shield]
Under the scorching autumn sun, there are few pedestrians on the long official road. A frightened bird flew through the sky in the woods beside the road, and was about to throw itself into the woods on the other side. At the same moment, a flying squirrel suddenly jumped out of the grass, with its fleshy wings wide open and its bent claws snatched the flying birds.
The rumble sounded suddenly, and a circle of dark green light wheels suddenly appeared, accurately hitting the flying squirrel in the air.
Bang! The blood fog exploded and the flesh splattered everywhere.
The birds that escaped by chance made a sharp sound, crawled into the woods in panic, and dared not show up again.
The dark green light wheel played the trick, whistling back to the master's hand, and swung several times and stopped suddenly, revealing his true appearance - it turned out to be a small dark green shield with bright green light.
The round shield is obviously slightly smaller than the ordinary shield, similar to the arm shield of a cavalry. The shield surface is like six blooming green petals, each with a natural and mysterious texture. The grip of the round shield is connected to a translucent dragon tendon, and the other end is tied to the wrist guard. In this way, the round shield is integrated in attack and defense during close combat, and can be thrown out as a flying shield, and can even be urged like a whip, which contains almost all the performance of weapons, and is omnipotent.
This is Luo Xiao's upgraded version of "Dragon Scale Flying Shield". Flying Shields can attack from a distance like bows and arrows, but the strength of being stronger than bows and arrows is that they can attack in all directions, which is most suitable for dealing with group battles when surrounded.
Luo Xiao estimated that he would have to walk at least seven or eight days to Baicao City. He didn't want to waste his time, and he could practice flying shields.
The world is full of turmoil and the arts are too great. Only by seizing all your spare time to enrich and improve your skills can you go a long way on the road of cultivation.
After refining the Dragon Scale Shield, Luo Xiao applied for two sets of martial arts skills at the Secret Martial Arts Pavilion of the Wushunting Hall, namely "Sword and Shield Combination Technique" and "Flying Thallus Twelve Hands". Of course, you have to spend more than ten points of achievements. Flying Thallus Twelve Hands is actually meteor hammer skills, including entanglement, swing, circling, dot, shaking, etc., etc. This martial art is unpopular and unparalleled, difficult to learn and master, but once you have achieved success, it will be elusive and have amazing lethality. When Luo Xiao replaced Flying Thallus with Flying Shield, the power will be even higher.
Practicing this martial arts is time-consuming, but fortunately, Luo Xiao lacks the most time. He carefully pondered along the way, and even tried to rub the mysterious truth of the qi Explosion Arrow into the Fei Shield - after all, Fei Shield is also a throwing weapon, right?
Over this period of time, he has already had a lot of experience. In addition, Luo Xiao, who was a hunter, is naturally sensitive to throwing weapons. Therefore, although he has not specially practiced whip rope weapons, his skills have improved rapidly after repeated practice and exploration. During the day, he trained his flying shield skills while riding, and at night he entered the fairy stone cave heaven to practice hard, making this mission a real "cultivation".
During the past few days of practice, Luo Xiao looked inside his dantian and found that the Yuanli cord transformed by the vital energy had completely wrapped the Yuan seed, looking like a silkworm cocoon, and the perceived Yuan seed was also reduced a little. As far as he knew, it usually takes at least three or five months to transform the nucleus of the Yuan seed. According to Luo Xiao's cultivation in the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven, one hour is within one month of the outside world, and as long as there are five or six days outside, he can break through the realm of warriors.
But, be happy.
Luo Xiao’s situation is very special. His Yuan genus is very different from that of ordinary warriors. It is more than ten times larger. In other words, it has to add more than ten times more time on this basis, at least two or three months in reality. It is even more exaggerated in the Immortal Stone Cave Heaven, which takes several years...
Thinking about this section, Luo Xiao couldn't help but secretly be glad that the time flow rate of this Immortal Stone Cave Heaven is very different from that of the outside world. Otherwise, his giant Yuanse could only be fully nuclearized after being in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month!
Luo Xiao felt a vague feeling that when this mission was completed and he returned to the martial arts hall, he might be able to break through the realm of the warrior himself. What really made him scratch his head was that compared to breaking through the warrior, what was even more difficult was how to make the outside world accept him as a samurai who broke the rules - jumped four levels in a row in just a few months, jumping from a second-level warrior to a samurai in amazingly!
If the warrior can appear at such a rocket-like speed, the entire Tianjing Domain will be broken, which is definitely enough to rise to a major event in the domain strategy. If the outside world knows, he will never have peace.
Luo Xiao didn't want to be such a pioneer. He decided now that even if he broke through the warrior, he would not ask for the assessment. However, the promotion of the warrior must have a powerful aura that surpasses ordinary warriors. It is difficult to hide from the same level and high-level warriors. This is a troublesome thing and a headache... Forget it, let's take one step at a time. It hasn't been broken through yet, so it's too early to worry about this.
...
As Luo Xiao traveled westward, the scenery along the way became increasingly desolate, with fewer and fewer mountains, forests, lakes and lakes, and more and more loess sea buckthorns. The roaring northwest wind really made him realize that the season was already in autumn.
Luo Xiao was not in a hurry to rush to go, practicing while walking. Even so, more than ten days after leaving Yishui City, a border city was far away on the desolate horizon.
Baicao City, arrive.
As a major border town, the buildings of Baicao City are in a low and solid style, except for the city walls. The outer city is seven meters tall, which is generally more than two meters taller than the cities in the territory. The city walls are made of thick granites. Endless years and violent storms have eroded the hard huge stone walls into spots and unevenness.
The city gate guards were obviously twice as many as the city gate guards in the territory, and each guard exuded a faint smell of blood that was not found in the territory guards.
Luo Xiao could see clearly that these guards were at most first and second-level warriors, but when they looked at people, they looked at people with razor-like eyes. Even the person with a quasi-warrior cultivation felt tight and his heart was dark. It was indeed worthy of being a major town in the border area. Even the guards of the city gate were ruthless people who were licking blood on the head of a knife.
After paying ten copper coins to enter the city, Luo Xiao led his horse into the city. What he saw was very different from the cities in the area. The shops and houses here were generally low and short, basically between one or two floors, with few buildings over three floors, and most of them were built with soil. This is probably a phenomenon unique to the lack of mountains and forests and wind and sand storm.
The streets are also covered with loess sand. The crowds, mules, horses, camels, cattle and sheep are trampling the sandy land into a pothole, and there are also traces of remains of the ground. The strong wind is blowing, and the sky is filled with dust and the stench is almost intoxicating.
Fortunately, when Luo Xiao entered the northwest, he had already learned from the locals to wrap his head with a long headscarf, so that he could barely block the odor of wind and sand. Such a harsh living environment, not to mention a warrior who has requirements for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even for ordinary people, it is not a place to live.
Luo Xiao shook his head, planning to find a shop first, then follow the map to find the information point set up in Yishui City, hand over the information, rest for one night, and return immediately tomorrow. He would rather be on the road than stay here for a long time, otherwise he would be afraid that his cultivation would not increase but decline.
It is easy to find shops. As a major border trade center, although there are no high-end ones due to the environment, but the streets are full of medium and low-end ones.
Luo Xiao is now considered a rich man, so of course he doesn't want to be wronged. After walking along the street for a while, he found a shop with a good environment and booked a room on the second floor. After washing up, he saw that it was still early, so he wrapped the dragon scale shield in cloth, buckled it behind him, walked out of the guest room, and planned to follow the address provided on the task instructions to go to Tantandao first.
Luo Xiao had just closed the door, and the fragrant wind blew behind him. Two women in white-clothed hats crossed him, and a rough female voice came from: "I heard for a long time that this Baicao City is a border city, the Gobi yellow sand, and the grassland horse herding. The scenery is completely different from our Heshuo County. We took this opportunity to take a look. Who knew it was like this! What is Gobi yellow sand? I ate a mouthful of mud and sand. I didn't see the grassland horse herding, but I saw horse manure all over the street... It turned out that I imagined it was like cousin, but the reality was me!"
These two people are also from Heshuo County? But what does the last sentence mean? Luo Xiao was stunned, stared at the back of the two girls, and slowly sucked the smell, and couldn't help but laugh.
Although the two women were not seen, the woman who spoke was as broad as a door panel and as fat as a big man. The other woman's back was slender and agile. Although it was not very attractive, she did not look at her appearance. The comparison of the backs of these two people actually interpreted the gap between imagination and reality.
At this time, the slender woman with a silhouette said in a low voice: "Feiyan, don't yell loudly. If you are so despised by Baicao City, you will probably cause trouble if you hear it."
Feiyan?! This name almost made Luo Xiao laugh. Suddenly, he felt that the woman's voice sounded a little familiar. Who would it be?
Luo Xiao quickly sifted the woman he knew in his mind - to be honest, he didn't know many women, so he quickly locked in, it was her!
The daughter of Yishui City, the black belt disciple of Yanshan Wushu Hall, Cheng Feifeng!
She also received a task from Baicao City? Or should she accompany her Feiyan cousin to do the task?
After Cheng Feifeng said it, the strong girl named Feiyan also lowered her voice and muttered in a low voice. Of course, with this person's voice, even if she was quiet, she would be less quiet.
If Luo Xiao listened carefully, he could vaguely hear some content, but the wall was obviously inferior. Moreover, he had met Cheng Feifeng once, but he still had a business deal, and he couldn't have a relationship at all, and he would seem abrupt when he said hello. After thinking about it, he stopped and waited for the two girls to go far before he walked out of the inn.
Baicaocheng City Weekly Diary Fur, No. 15, A, No. 15, A, is a very ordinary fur purchase and processing workshop. The front door is a shop, and the back courtyard is a processing workshop. There are no less than a dozen such shops in this side city, which is very inconspicuous.
In front of the Zhouji fur shop, a local customer who was dressed up in a common fashion, with a masked face lifting the curtain and sweeping his clear eyes. The scene inside the shop was full of sight: the shop was not big, black, with fur and tanned leather everywhere, which was quite fumigated, but the dust was not obvious, and it seemed that it was quite diligent in sweeping.
The shopkeeper in a fur coat at the counter was settled, and the sound of the beads crackled with a crisp sound. On the bench next to the door was sitting a guy in the same outfit, holding his chin and nodding like a cock pecking rice, as if he was dozing off.
The curtain moved, and the wind and sand entered the house. The dozing guy woke up immediately. He stood up and howled without even seeing it clearly: "Dear guest is here!"
The guest raised his hand and pushed away the fur hanging from the hanging, and his eyes looked directly at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper seemed to feel something and looked up. Under the dim light of the lantern on the edge of the counter, the middle-aged shopkeeper's thin and browned face was a little gloomy. Not to mention, he really looked like a intelligence leader.
This customer is Luo Xiao, and Zhouji Furry Store is the target location where he traveled thousands of miles to Baicao City, Yishui City Information Point.
