Chapter 1374 Return
Beiyu, Nibelungen, Line 5, sickle-weasel nest.
"Oh my god." Sima Xuxu stopped and stood in front of the huge dark gold skeleton. From the shape, one can barely see its majesty and terror when it was alive, but now there is only a pile of debris, as if it was smashed into pieces by a hammer. A large number of fragments piled on the ground are daunting.
"What happened here?" Chen Wenwen looked at the huge sickle-weasel nest with some fear. The ground was full of dead sickle-weasel skeletons. They were grayish white in color and spread on the empty and flat ground. When you inevitably step on them with your feet, the bone fragments that were originally thought to be quite hard will immediately break.
Xia Wang climbed to the highest point of the sickle-weasel bone pile and looked around at the flat gray-white desert. There was some inexplicable sadness in his eyes, and he didn't know who he was sad for.
"This skeleton should belong to the previous dealer. It looks like someone has slaughtered the entire nest." Sima Xuxu broke off a rib of the dark gold skeleton with force. As expected, there was no bone marrow or hard structure inside. All nerves and blood were deprived, leaving only this osteoporotic shell. I'm afraid that the sickle weasels died in the same way.
"Lin Nian did it." Zhao Xusheng stood beside Sima Xuxu, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the surface of the skeleton, sensing the traces left by the impact of the "alchemical field".
She has temporarily recovered and can barely walk on her own. Sima Xuxu insisted on carrying her, but was rejected because the nine needles of the coffin need to let the blood flow throughout the body after acupuncture. Appropriate slow walking will allow the body to recover better. Resting will be discussed after leaving Nibelungen.
"The idol is here too? Why haven't I seen him? Did he kill further inside?" Sima Xuxu was a little surprised. Although they didn't get the right rescue, they were able to wait for Lin Nian, which made them feel completely relieved. There was no need to question the idol's ability.
"Well, maybe. I haven't seen him either. If it was him, he would have dealt with the Dragon King first, and the rest would be left to him. Ahem." Zhao Xusheng talked too much, causing him to cough, with blood in his saliva, which frightened Sima Xuxu who was standing beside him and quickly supported him. He turned to look at Chen Wenwen and reached for the medicine bag.
Sima Xuxu took out a can of painkillers from his bags and was about to open it, but Zhao Xusheng waved his hand, put the can back, and re-selected several bottles of pale yellow medicine bottles with complex chemical formulas on the labels that Sima Xuxu couldn't understand. After opening them, he sniffed the smell one by one, then used his fingernails to scrape the powder from the different tablets and mixed them in the palm of his hand, and finally took them.
It should be said that the effect of this thing that can be dressed in the image of a medical kit in "Left 4 Dead" is powerful, but what is even more powerful is Zhao Xusheng's deep understanding of pharmacology and emergency judgment.
If it were someone else, they would probably just eat whatever they could catch, and eventually their bloodline would be out of control, but Zhao Xusheng could make medicine for himself based on the ingredients of these medicines to specifically alleviate his broken physical condition.
"Are you okay?" Sima Xuxu looked at Zhao Xusheng and felt so distressed. When had his childhood sweetheart ever suffered such an injustice?
"Well, I'm fine. I can still hold on for a while, and even help you a few times when you encounter a battle, but if you maintain this state for a long time, there should be sequelae, but you won't die." Zhao Xusheng nodded gently and gave Xuxu a reassuring look, but the latter's eyes were full of worry.
"I don't need your help. If we encounter a battle, you and Miss Wenwen should stay away and leave it to me!" Sima Xuxu said it first.
"I'm fine." Zhao Xusheng shook her head to emphasize that she would not be a burden.
She knew her body better than anyone else. If she didn't die this time, she would have to leave serious sequelae. The bloodline refining technology was really not something that everyone could enjoy. For Sima Xuxu, it was a common thing, but for her, it was a trump card of exploding and dying together.
But the bloodline refining was also the reason for her failure and success. After she slightly jumped over the bloodline criticality, the rich dragon blood gene she got also cured a large part of her injuries that might have killed her, so that she could barely hold on until the nine needles of the coffin and the drug treatment later, otherwise she would have died in the sewer without anyone paying attention to her.
Her desire to survive came from helping Xuxu leave Nibelung alive. If she had become a burden to the team, she would not have let Xuxu save her, or she would have tried to kill herself if she survived, and simply dug out the abscess of the team.
"If I say you are in trouble, you are in trouble. If you encounter a situation later, stay behind and I will protect you." Sima Xuxu said to Zhao Xusheng very seriously.
Zhao Xusheng looked at the boy's expression and could only nod slightly to show that he understood.
After getting Zhao Xusheng's consent, Sima Xuxu looked back at Lancelot, who was sleeping on the pile of bones not far away, with a complicated look. He wanted to find someone to blame and vent his anger, but in the end he only felt extremely frustrated.
If he had found Xusheng faster and participated in the battle earlier, Xusheng would probably not have ended up like this.
"Are your injuries okay?" Zhao Xusheng asked about Sima Xuxu's physical condition first.
"Me?" Sima Xuxu subconsciously touched the wound wrapped in bandages under his T-shirt, "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry about me, I was just scratched by those beasts, I hope they don't have rabies."
Zhao Yansheng glanced at Chen Wenwen, who was guarding the unconscious Lancelot not far away, and knew that it was this girl who should have dealt with Sima Xuxu's injury. The two of them had lived and died together for a certain period of time, supporting each other. Only then can we get to this point.
"It seems that the kamaitachi on this line have been cleared, which is a big help to us. Otherwise, I would have to reverse the 'Yuluo' to lead you through here. With so many people, it's still a matter of strength. Question." Sima Xuxu's tone was generally quite relaxed, and he could be considered relieved.
"Those people" Chen Wenwen looked in the direction of the iron cage. The human corpses inside that had been killed by Kamaita had also been drained of blood by the eruption of the alchemy field. Only skeletons were left, but the shape of the skeletons could still be seen at a glance. See that they are different from the beasts on the earth.
Sima Xuxu fell into a brief silence while looking at the human skeletons, shook his head slightly and sighed, "We can't help them, we can't even collect the corpses, so we can only let them stay here. If there is a chance in the future, I will Please ask the family to find out their identities and visit them one by one to provide follow-up compensation."
His words were firm, like a promise.
"Let's go." Zhao Xinsheng said. She looked at Chen Wenwen, and the girl immediately came over and helped her sensibly.
Sima Xuxu stepped on the bones and ran to Lancelot and picked him up, with a very reluctant expression. The boy couldn't hide things in his heart, and what he was thinking was what was written on his face. He was more willing to hug Xiaosheng than the princess hugging Lancelot. When Zhao Xiaosheng dodged while walking, he wanted to drop Lancelot and kneel down to support the girl.
"Xiawang, let's go." Sima Xuxu picked up Lancelot and shouted to the dazed boy on the pile of bones.
After hearing the call, Xia Wang obediently slid down from the pile of bones, walked to Chen Wenwen's side, and held the corner of the girl's clothes.
It's so worry-free. Sima Xuxu feels that if all the children in the world are as obedient as him, he may not follow the trend and become a DINK or something.
"The next line back is Line 4. There shouldn't be any trouble." Zhao Xiaosheng was supported by Chen Wenwen, who kept reminding her to pay attention to the gaps between the bones under her feet.
"Line 4, that quiz level?" Sima Xuxu's expression became strange,
Chen Wenwen, who was holding Xiaosheng, suddenly seemed to remember something and glanced at Sima Xuxu and then at Zhao Xiaosheng.
Sima Xuxu coughed and said, "There is indeed no danger there. By the way, Xiaosheng, what questions did God ask you when you passed?"
"God?"
"Xuxu should mean that Morgan Freeman." Chen Wenwen reminded Xiaosheng in a low voice, and then noticed that Zhao Xiaosheng stared at her expressionlessly.
"Host, are you saying that he just asked me some common sense about the power of truth and some secrets about the patriarchs within the orthodoxy." Zhao Xinsheng said, "I suspect that they are just using the question and answer method to peek into the internal affairs of the orthodoxy. Intelligence, but due to the crisis of the situation, I can only answer those troublesome questions."
"Uh." Sima Xuxu scratched his head, "Really? Maybe they think you know more about the situation in the clan, so they asked you this."
"Then what did they ask you?" Zhao Xinsheng asked.
"Well, it's just an ordinary question, a little bit more of a moral test?" Sima Xuxu scratched his cheek and almost dropped Lancelot who was holding him.
“What is the problem with moral testing?”
"For example, a train is coming. There is one person and a group of people tied to the two rails. If you divide the tracks according to the tracks, the train will hit that group of people. You are holding a leather shovel in your hand. Oh no, a lane change wrench. Asking you whether you should pull it or not."
"How did you answer that?"
"My answer is no."
Zhao Xunsheng raised his head and glanced at Sima Xuxu, then nodded silently, "Well, that's an answer that fits your character very well, Xuxu."
She knew what Sima Xuxu was thinking. This boy was not ready to take away the life of an innocent person with his own hands. Breaking off the lane change lever would kill the innocent person.
If it were her, she would not hesitate to sacrifice one person to save a group of people, but Xuxu was different. His kindness made him make some strange choices sometimes.
His hands are clean and his heart is clean, so he can give such a pure answer to this kind of question.
This is the result of the clan elders' deliberate cultivation, a clean and pure "moon" candidate.
Zhao Yansheng, Li Qiuluo and the other senior officials of Langjuxu did not understand the thoughts of the clan elders, and they would not oppose or exclude such a "monthly" candidate by their side. Everyone looked at Xuxu as if they were looking at a Everyone takes good care of this young child and likes him. In a sense, this also corresponds to the training direction that "Yue" should be the person whom everyone loves.
Zhao Yansheng didn't know what the clan elders were thinking, but there was no doubt that the more Xuxu acted like this, the less prepared he was to face those dirty tricks and conspiracies, and his own existence became more important - to protect Xuxu well. Xu, this is her only job.
"That's right, Xiao Sheng, didn't the God in the fourth level say that if you answer all the questions correctly, you can take away those awesome prizes? Have you answered them all?" Sima Xuxu asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"No, the last question involves the secrets of the clan elders, so I refused to answer." Zhao Xinsheng said.
"Oh, that's it." Sima Xuxu nodded.
Zhao Xusheng keenly noticed that the boy seemed to be relieved, and Chen Wenwen, who was supporting her, also looked away.
