Chapter 287 Strike
The addition of Rhodes made the members of the Breaking Corps one more person. The Breaking Corps finally changed from a team of only two people to a small group of five people with Xiaobai, swordsman Rhodes and elves archer Sius, who had begun to take shape. Everything was developing in a good direction. On the way to the north of the Ottoman Empire, the center of the dangerous area, which was called the Mendor Plateau, there were constant laughter.
Seven days later, with the help of many road questions along the way, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the Death Snow Mountain Belt that was rumored to have no four seasons and was shrouded in winter all year round.
Everyone was still not far away. At first glance, they saw that the sky in the distance seemed to suddenly enter the middle of the night. It was so dark that there was almost no light, only the bright stars in the sky and the snowflakes filled with the air.
Balls of cold air were like a real wind swaying around, making people feel like they could instantly feel the cold air entering their body, and they would shiver involuntarily.
After Wuqi first saw the scenery of the Death Snow Mountain Belt in the distance, a strange light immediately appeared in his eyes. His curiosity arose and he accelerated his pace. He wanted to get close to the place as soon as possible. But after he ran two steps, his legs couldn't help but stop, and his eyes were immediately attracted by a group of more than 30 meters high city walls and a transparent passage in front of the Death Snow Mountain Belt.
What's going on?
With a moving heart, he swept around the passage and suddenly found that there were still a group of people standing around the transparent passage in the distance. The group of people were lined up neatly, talking to the two guards standing in front of the transparent passage in a regular manner.
After a while, the two ordinary humans nodded and ran into the passage happily after the two guards in silver armor. The people behind them were the same as the two before, and after talking along the passage, they walked along the passage to the death snow mountain belt.
Wuqi subconsciously released his breath and felt it. He suddenly felt shocked inside. Those who were queuing up were actually ordinary people without any breath of cultivators. The look of doubt immediately appeared on his face.
"What are they doing?" Nakelulu came up to Wuqi and asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Wuqi turned his head and looked at Rhode behind him. Rhode didn't say anything, but just shook his head silently like Sius.
"It seems like I'm queuing up." Wuqi looked thoughtful. He seemed to have thought of something and said with a guess.
"Line line?" Nakelulu looked at Wuqi in confusion and asked in confusion: "Didn't you tell us that the Mendau Plateau you are going to be in the Death Snow Mountain Belt? The temperature in this Death Snow Mountain Belt is very low. Practitioners may not be able to find the Mendau Plateau alive. What are these ordinary people queuing up to do?"
"I don't know either, let's go over and ask." Wuqi said, and ran out first. Within a few steps, he came to the end of the queue, pulled the man who was at the end of the queue, and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
This is a strong man with an ordinary appearance but a burly figure, with a very rough facial features, and even a bit ferocious when he looks closely. He even speaks very strongly.
As soon as he saw Wuqi, he wanted to answer, but as soon as he saw another thin young man running away from not far away, he immediately pushed Wuqi away and said unhappily: "Little kid. Let's go away. Didn't you see your uncle, I, are you queuing? Looking for a thief!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised his right hand and slapped Wuqi in the face. His attack speed was quite good, and it even caused a slight slight wind sound to the air. With a whirring sound, he was about to suck Wuqi's face.
But at this moment, a thin little hand suddenly rushed out from nowhere, as fast as a bolt of lightning, and in an instant it grabbed the big man's thick wrist like an iron pliers.
"What are you doing?" Rhode's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly.
A look of disdain suddenly appeared on the man's face. He did not stop the movements in his hand, but instead increased the force in his hand, and he insisted on slapping Wuqi out. But as soon as he exerted his force, he suddenly realized that his hand was not moving and could not move any more than half an inch.
kindness?
The man tried again, and his face suddenly appeared ferociously, and his facial features began to twist, but he still couldn't move forward half an inch. Then, he suddenly tried the opposite force and tried to pull his arm back, but he still didn't move at all. Until he tried several times in a row, his anger on the man's face was gradually replaced by the pale paleness of the snow.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the owner of the arm, and couldn't help but be shocked. The other party was just a young man who was less tall than his chest.
However, the boy's eyes were so cold that it was scary. With just a glance, the man suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable chill in his heart. His body couldn't help but tremble, and he suddenly felt like he would immediately feel the pain of breaking his arm if he didn't apologize quickly.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at the boy's hand again, and immediately made up his mind, restrained his face, and said with a smirk: "Little brother, don't get me wrong. I just saw some dust on his shoulders, so I patted him off."
As he said that, he turned to look at Wuqi and smiled embarrassedly. Seeing that the other party's face had no malice, Rhode let go. The big man quickly patted Wuqi's shoulder twice, and said with a forced smile: "Look. It's better now. Brother, what you were trying to ask just now, I didn't hear clearly, say it again. I am a famous good person. I promise to answer all questions."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a sneer came from the people in front of him. Nakolulu and Seus all showed contemptuous eyes, and Rhode's eyes became even colder.
But Wuqi didn't care about this, but he no longer smiled, but asked calmly: "I want to ask, what are you going to do in this passage in line? I also want to ask about the Thousand Faces Man again. Have you ever heard of it?"
The first question was answered quickly. As soon as Wuqi finished speaking, he answered without hesitation: "What else can we do? We are here to watch the martial arts conference." But for the second question, he thought about it at all but shook his head and refused to answer. It was not that he didn't know the answer, but that on the contrary, he knew too many answers and didn't know how to speak for a while.
He thought about it for a long time, slowly opened his mouth several times, but finally closed it again without saying a word. This made Wuqi look confused and anxious.
He seemed to know about the Thousand Faces Man. Why didn’t he just say it?
Wuqi's question was also the question of other members of the Broken Corps, except for Xiaobai. It was lazy and nonsense at this time, and was lying comfortably on Wuqi's shoulders and napping on him.
"Why don't you say it?" Seeing that the man was alive and silent, Wuqi gradually lost his patience. He couldn't help but ask again: "It seems you know the Thousand Face Man. Tell me, where is he?"
"I...I..." The big man's forehead gradually oozed out of sweat beads of soybeans. He hesitated for a long time, and saw that Wuqi and others' faces became more and more blue. When the boy who had just grabbed his arm and left a bruise, his eyes were cold enough to kill people.
He felt like a toothpaste that had been held in for too long, and he squeezed out a sentence from his mouth and said, "I don't know which one thousand-faced man you are going to ask!"
As soon as this said, Wuqi and others were shocked. He subconsciously asked: "What? Are there two thousand-faced people?"
"More than two. All of us have the surname Qian. From our ancestors to now, as long as we go out, we use the code name Thousand Face Man. So, I don't know which Thousand Face Man you are looking for."
As the Great Man finished speaking, all those who lined up in front of the Great Man turned to look at Wuqi, nodded silently, and did not speak. However, this silent recognition shocked Wuqi and others again. It was like a fierce and rolling wave suddenly erupting from the calm lake. After the huge wave disappeared for a long time, it was still like an afterthought, echoing in the hearts of all members of the corporation.
Of course, Wuqi was slightly different from everyone's inner feelings at this time. In addition to being surprised, he was more disappointed. After the big man finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and his calm expression was immediately replaced by loss. His eyes seemed to have dimmed countless times in an instant, and he was deeply hit.
"How could this happen! I thought that as long as I found the Thousand Faces Man, I could find out the news about the Witch Pattern Staff. I finally got here. Was it just a dream that made me happy in the end?" Wuqi smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.
"Oh. Young people are not old yet, but they begin to sigh as they imitate the old people. Has the world really reached an age?" At this moment, Wuqi's words were suddenly interrupted by an old voice.
Wuqi and others subconsciously looked at the sound, and their eyebrows frowned. In the distance, an old man with gray hair, hunched figure and wrinkled face was limping on a wooden crutch, slowly walking towards him. He shook his head and sighed without hesitation while walking.
The old man looked obviously in his twilight years, and he looked old when walking, and the clothes he wore looked even more worn.
A pair of ordinary black cloth clothes and a pair of cloth shoes with three holes on their toes are all the old man's possessions. The thing in his hand is not so much a crutch, but rather an ordinary branch without any trace of artificial carving.
At first glance, he was a poor old man, but what puzzled everyone was that the old man's eyes were different. His eyes were extremely disproportionate to his old body. Not only was his eyes bright, but there was also a vague light of wisdom in his eyes.
"Oh! It's the old man who is a scam! Long time no see." When the man saw the old man, he walked up with a smile, and took the old man to the front of Wuqi and others a few steps, and introduced with a smile: "You are so lucky today. When you meet the old man who is scam, you have any questions, just ask him directly. He is the oldest senior and most knowledgeable senior in our Thousand Faces Group."
"Little guy. Why did you sigh just now?" The old man giggled at Wuqi, and the only two front teeth that fell were left were exposed to everyone. Nake Lulu couldn't help but burst into laughter. A smile flashed in Seus's eyes, only Rhode's expression was still cold.
Although Wuqi didn't laugh, he was also happy after seeing the old man's two front teeth that looked like rabbits. However, after a moment of silence, he sighed softly and asked without any expectations: "You know Wu Wen..."
"No, right?" The old man waved his hand and interrupted Wuqi's question without hearing Wuqi finish his words, saying, "How can you show this old face at a young age? Do you think you are me? You are all in your seventies and eighties. Young people should look like young people. You are not yet adult, so how can you learn from the elderly to show off their faces?
Stop sighing. Do you dress up in a deep fashion now? Your age is the sunniest, just like the sun at seven or eight o'clock in the morning. You must be energetic and smile more, so that you should be like what you should be at your age! Always sigh, but you will grow old before you grow old."
After saying that, the old man looked at Rhodes with a slightly angry expression again, and said with a lesson: "And you. At a young age, why do you always have a gloomy face? Do you think you are showing off your face? You are called facial paralysis. After a long time, you can't laugh. You have to learn more about me. You can be old, but you don't accept your old age. Smiling more is the attitude that life should have."
After the old man finished speaking, he began to teach Naklulu and Seus a lesson. It was not until he finally scolded Wuqi and others and the big men around him without missing a single leak, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
As if he had done something extremely violent exercise just now, he stood quietly in place and rested for a long time. Then he looked at Wuqi and smiled again and said, "Little guy. Just ask me if you have anything to do. I'll give you satisfaction.
By the way, after saying so much, I forgot to tell you my name. Look at my memory, it’s really a bad idea for people to use. In fact, I forgot the name myself, but when I was young, everyone called me Ghost Hand Qian. Now, just call me a scam like everyone else. Okay, what do you want to know, ask."
