Chapter 655: The Will to Power(1/2)
There may be very few people who understand what this sentence means, but Liu Xiao happens to be one of them.
Not long ago in Yege Forest, when the scene of a group of red beasts crossing the river appeared, he had been confused like this. At that time, he only thought it was an accidental phenomenon and did not pay special attention to it.
But now he is at the forefront of the confrontation between humans and ferocious beasts, and when he hears these words...
The shock in my heart cannot be overemphasized.
"The beasts are getting smarter and smarter, and they are no longer driven by instinct as before." Bond's eyes seemed to flash back to the bloody battlefield that made him panic. "In the beginning, they just divided their troops into multiple groups.
, chasing the tribe from multiple directions, and later, a trap targeting the tribe actually appeared. This is not the wisdom that ferocious beasts should master, and it is completely beyond everyone's knowledge."
"The order of this world is rapidly collapsing. I'm not an alarmist. The tide of ferocious beasts will become increasingly uncontrollable. Not long ago, a man from the garrison drunkenly revealed a piece of news to me. It's not just us humans.
, similar situations have occurred throughout the galaxy sector."
Debon pointed at the drunk people.
"They were not like this in the past. Even if they were celebrating their return from a hunt, they would not drink to such an extent. But now... they just want to get drunk and are afraid that when they wake up, they will think of their dead relatives, tribesmen and comrades.
There are those ferocious beasts that can no longer be defeated.”
"Why don't you leave?"
Liu Xiao asked in a deep voice.
Debon took a puff of cigarette and said with a sad smile, "Haha, where are you going? In the sand?"
He shook his head and said, "If I wanted to go, I would have gone a long time ago. The people here are not suitable for that kind of life. Moreover, being unable to hunt ferocious beasts does not mean that the Wind Shelter City has no value in existing. As long as it can provide information about the swarms to the defenders."
Legion, we can still continue here, the worst we can do is learn from this stupid crab, bury our head in the sand, and don’t go anywhere.”
"How is it? How does it taste?"
When the conversation changed, Debon looked at Tanya with a smile and asked softly.
"It tastes very good, thank you." Tanya's expression was calm and seemed to have gone deep into her bones. No matter how shocking the topic just now was, she still maintained a calm elegance. She didn't say much, nor was she surprised. She was even very
Show less surprise.
"Yeah, wait a moment and try again to see if my mind is connected."
With that said, Debon started busy mixing drinks again.
"How about the Xiaohu tribe?"
Liu Xiao continued to ask.
"Salk and the others are okay. Because the swarms of raccoons lost a lot of people, they basically did not participate in the subsequent hunts. Do you want to go to them to reminisce about old times? Go quickly, go quickly, Tanya is here
I'll take care of you, don't worry."
Damn, I don’t feel at ease even if you are here.
The location of Salk and the others should be a few kilometers away, and Liu Xiao could feel that many anchor points of life were gathered there.
The wooden door was pushed open violently.
Three people wearing white leather coats and gray cloaks walked in and stood in the center of the tavern. The leading man took off his helmet made of spar and glanced at everyone present with his cold eyes.
"A bunch of trash."
The man snorted disdainfully.
"Get out."
Without his smile, Debon looked at the man with a sullen expression and shouted harshly.
The man was unmoved, kicked a drunkard on the ground away, pulled up a chair, and sat down.
"Deaf? Can't you hear me tell you to get out?"
Debon stood up slowly, tilting his head and staring at the other person.
The man raised the corner of his mouth and pointed at Bond.
"wanna die?"
The wooden door suddenly burst open, and yellow sand poured in like a flood that burst a bank.
It was raging in the tavern, but not a single gravel came close to the bar.
Liu Xiao immediately protected Tanya behind him, but it seemed that doing so was a bit redundant.
The yellow sand all over the house came unexpectedly and moved away inexplicably, taking with it all the remaining sand on the ground.
Only three people were left, who were imprisoned by the yellow sand and turned into insect pupae.
Except for the head, the rest of the body is covered with sand.
"Say it again?"
Bond raised his hand and pointed at the other person with the same gesture as the man.
The difference is that there is really a hand condensed with gravel, tapping the man's forehead one after another.
Extreme anger caused the man's face to twist, and the entire sand chrysalis trembled slightly with his exertion.
"Trash is trash, a bunch of pigs hiding in the sand."
The man spoke fiercely without saying a word. The sand pupae that imprisoned him were expanding visibly to the naked eye, and gravel was constantly spilling onto the ground.
Bond's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he clenched his right hand into a fist.
Just when the three sand pupae suddenly shrank and their heads turned purple.
A bit of cold light shines from outside the wooden door.
After an instant, Bond's chest rose and fell violently. The tip of a silver-feathered arrow was no more than a fingernail's distance from the center of his eyebrows. The sharp triangular barb was filled with murderous intent.
The arrow was hanging in the air but had not yet landed. A strong wall of wind blocked its path.
One hand stretched out, held the feather arrow, and buckled it on the bow string that was fully drawn by the Overlord.
Bang!
Kill with one arrow.
In the gloomy dusk outside the door, there was a series of dull metal collisions and the sound of flesh being penetrated.
After a while, a man with a heroic appearance walked in and stopped at the entrance.
White clothes, white robe, white hair, even the skin color is as pale as snow, but there is a little wet blood on the white robe.
That was not his blood, the two fighting men blocked the arrow for him.
But the arrow shot at Bond came from this man.
The man in white's eyes were locked on Liu Xiao, and his left hand was clasped on the scabbard at his waist.
Those eyes were as calm as ever, but full of murderous intent.
"Go to the back."
Liu Xiao said softly.
He stood up and moved forward, flicking his wrist, holding two blood-red long swords in his hands.
Tanya jumped behind the bar. At the same time, all the drunken tribesmen had been carried to the corner by the airflow. Only the three sand pupae were still standing abruptly in the field.
He doesn't have much to say about his status, and he doesn't even bother to talk about what he is fighting for.
Fights between men don't need any reasonable reasons at all.
There was a flash of silver light, and the moment the man drew his sword, a sharp sword energy flew past.
This sword was completely devoid of martial ethics and went straight to where Tanya and Bond were.
The bar instantly collapsed, but who would have thought that underneath the wooden table, it was actually filled with yellow sand. The indomitable sword energy only left a deep mark on the condensed sand, making it difficult to advance any further.
On the other side, in the small space, after dodging the sword energy, Liu Xiao was already approaching the man.
The long sword in his right hand stabbed the opponent's right leg. When it was swung away, his left foot drew a semicircle on the ground. His body had reached the side and rear of the man in white, and his left sword slashed towards the knee.
He was pushed away by the long sword again, and the opponent's swordsmanship was fierce. In an instant, he thrust out several swords, all aimed at Liu Xiao's vital parts.
But Liu Xiao's speed was so fast that he could fly up. The strong wind, silent rain, and Feng Yuan's talent turned him into a dazed shadow. The man in white used his sword to attack the old man, but he was always a step too slow.
What's even more strange is that Liu Xiao's movements were extremely large, but there was no sound at all. It was so quiet that the man even thought that the so-called enemy did not exist at all.
The battle quickly changed from a mutual attack and defense to a situation where one side was aggressively attacking and the other was just trying to protect itself.
Two dark red sword shadows flew up and down, everywhere, and a silver light followed a man in white, blocking him from left to right, struggling to hold on.
Blood splashed and stained the pure white robe. This time, it was truly his master's blood.
A long sword penetrated the man's left shoulder, but a cold smile appeared on his face.
Liu Xiao was unable to withdraw his sword for a moment, but the man's sword edge was raised back, forcing him to withdraw his hand and fight with a single sword.
The man's left hand slowly pulled out the butcher inserted into his body and held it in his hand.
polar reversal
The corners of Liu Xiao's mouth twitched.
