Chapter 225 Thank You for Being Alive (Happy New Year!)

Cang Lei slid past, day seemed to rise, and Qunqing Town continued to alternate between extreme day and extreme night, and the entire street seemed to be left with only a rain curtain and two figures.

clang clang clang —————

Da da da------

The sound of metal and iron clashing was buried under the sound of rain.

Looking intently, he saw a man in coir raincoat holding a long knife, stepping lightly between steps, cutting away all the vine whips that enveloped him like a swimming snake.

This is the serious Super Emerald Cui Ren...

Xu Qiansu closed the oil-paper umbrella again, and immediately stepped forward, stepping forward.

In the rain, the coir raincoat did not retreat but advanced, with a strong body striding forward, and came to Xu Qiansu in the blink of an eye.

Walk fast like the wind, and make the raindrops like needles.

The long knife is like the day, and the skin hurts.

Although the long street is spacious, the distance between the two of them is in an instant.

The coir raincoat has practiced martial arts all his life. Due to his talent, his skills are not superb, but after all, his foundation is there, and his physical strength is naturally much better than Xu Qiansu, a half-way monk.

But there are two points, no matter what, he can't compare with Xu Qiansu.

The long knife turned into a ponytail in the rain, and the countless raindrops turned into tiny water droplets as soon as they came into contact.

Pooh!

With Xu Qiansu's current strength, it was difficult to keep up with this speed.

But he just flipped his wrist slightly, and the ordinary oil-paper umbrella was slightly bundled up, but after a moment, the tip of the umbrella pierced the knife-wielding wrist of the coir raincoat.

Let others look at it, it seems that the coir raincoat is doing this on its own initiative... It has a bit of Jeet fist charm.

The power of waveguide brought Xu Qiansu an extremely subtle insight.

The coir raincoat was in pain, and his reaction was not unpleasant. I saw him forcibly withdrawing his move, leaping up in the air, turning into a kick, and his boots were like a swimming dragon, and slammed into Xu Qiansu's chest with such force. A hole appeared in the rain curtain in the room out of thin air, making a muffled 'bang'.

Xu Qiansu didn't even look at it, but saw a touch of emerald green suddenly flipping out from Xu Qiansu's skirt, but saw the green light on the tail of the rattan snake, flipping in the air in the rain, and a leaf blade directly slashed at it. The leg kicked by the coir raincoat.

The leaf blade of the rattan snake is absolutely impossible to connect with a human body.

But the coir raincoat was already prepared for this, but saw him let go of the long knife, endured the severe pain of his wrist being pierced, and while the blood splashed, he directly grabbed the oiled paper umbrella to use his strength, and his body sank, but Suddenly, he kicked the golden hook upside down, and kicked the rattan snake from bottom to top.

In the next moment, the rattan snake flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, but it caught a protrusion of the eaves with its rattan whip in time to relieve its strength.

She used the cane whip to perform a beautiful maneuver in the rain and stood on the eaves, with a bit of astonishment in her eyes.

Human kicking skills are of course nothing to her, they can only make her hurt for a while... But she has lived for so long, but she has never seen a human being who can fight back and forth with Pokémon ……Huh? It seems that Xu Qiansu often fights with Kirulian...

This is 'skill'. Human beings in this era have not climbed the technology tree very much, but they have been able to fight with Pokémon for so many years. In addition to being insidious and cunning, they must also be able to face Pokémon head-on The ability to fight.

But at the same time, the moment the coir raincoat jumped up in the air and kicked away the rattan snake, Xu Qiansu took a sudden step forward, and struck the coir raincoat's heart with an extremely fierce straight fist.

boom!

The coir raincoat behind the coir raincoat immediately swelled up, and immediately flew upside down, hitting a blue wall.

"Cough!" The coir raincoat couldn't help coughing out all the air in his lungs.

There is no such thing as internal strength in this world, so even if Xu Qiansu's martial arts is not as good as that of the coir raincoat, this punch is not so pleasant to the coir raincoat. Xu Qiansu was angry.

So he stepped slightly, turned around and kicked the long knife that was still in the process of falling after the coir raincoat was released.

call out!

The long knife pierced through the rain curtain and shot towards the coir raincoat.

Everything happens at the same time, but in the blink of an eye.

But seeing the coir raincoat stepping on the ground suddenly, jumping up, then stepping slightly, turning around and flashing, the long knife only pierced the lapel of his waist, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed the knife handle, and rushed towards Xu Qiansu again.

"Oh!" Soroya showed his small head from Xu Qiansu's lapel, his eyes were fierce, his mouth showed his fangs, his tits were fierce... The rattan snake was kicked away, but there is still it!

Although Zoroya grew up so big that he had never defeated anyone, but at the moment it felt that as long as this human dared to take a few steps forward, it would definitely bite off his neck.

As the rain was pouring, Xu Qiansu took a breath and stared at the coir raincoat who was striding forward, but he didn't see any movement.

A bit of astonishment appeared in the eyes of the coir raincoat, and the strength in his hand was slightly lighter... After all, his purpose was not to kill Xu Qiansu, but to capture him alive to Zhuqing Village and hand him over to Chiri.

The rattan snake stood on the eaves, stretched out its small hand, and the sharp leaves began to gather...

Puff!

Suddenly, blood foam splashed, and in the rainstorm, a line of blood appeared on the wrist of the coir raincoat.

The rattan snake was slightly taken aback, but she hasn't shot out the leaves yet...

The coir raincoat's pupils shrank, and before the severe pain in his arm came, the next moment, he saw that the rainstorm around him suddenly condensed into dozens of water blades, blocking all the upper and lower sides of the coir raincoat, and it was about to stab directly into the coir raincoat's body. Everywhere around him turned him into a blood hedgehog.

"Cattleya." Xu Qiansu said suddenly.

"Hmm—" Accompanied by a purposely elongated nasal voice, Cattleya suddenly appeared behind Xu Qiansu like a ghost, as if being carried by him, she put her small face on his shoulder, blinked her eyes, Looking at him, with a soft and lazy voice, he pretended to be innocent and asked: "Aren't you going to kill him?"

The raindrops penetrated her body, and Cattleya's delicate and pretty face brought an inexplicable beauty in the rainy night, but no one could see the coldness in it.

Cattleya is low-key, lazy, and always sleeps in her own villa. Except for Zhulan, few people know her...and Xu Qiansu is one of them.

She is a master who kills without batting an eye... At the beginning, the supervisor under Has Cobb just wanted to take revenge on Xu Qiansu in front of Cattleya, but she was crushed to death by her. This is evident from this.

Pat————

The right hand of the coir raincoat holding the knife fell feebly on the surface of the water.

With a hook of the vine, vine, snake, and vine whip, she sat on Xu Qiansu's shoulder again, turning her head to look at the coir raincoat who had been blocked by the water blade and could only stay where she was.

Xu Qiansu didn't reply, he took a few steps forward, looked at the coir raincoat guest, and asked in a low voice, "Who sent you here?"

Xu Qiansu has been thinking about finding her little boy all day long, and has never done anything public in Xicui, so why would someone come to assassinate him?

The severe pain of the severed hand made the coir raincoat gasp for breath. He was silent for a while, and then laughed in a low voice. The traveler's attire is significantly different from that in the Xicui area... He didn't know your identity, so he used this general statement."

Xu Qiansu frowned, he had no grievances with the Galaxy team, why did he issue such an order? Could it be that they found the wrong person?

"Within seven days, the only person who meets the requirements is you..." The coir raincoat pursed his lips, forcefully swallowed the blood foam churning in his throat, smiled wryly, and then slowly said: "I should be just a cover, he must be Pai People followed me to get information about you... Now that the news has been revealed, the next time he sends, it will not be an ordinary human like me."

Cattleya raised her eyebrows slightly, and with a slight pinch, a big-mouthed bat appeared in front of her out of nowhere, struggling unceasingly, and just about to make a sharp cry, was stunned by a few whips from the rattan snake... But if the other party Xu Qiansu's goal was really Xu Qiansu, so it was obviously impossible to send only a big-mouthed bat...

As the coir raincoat said, the news may have really spread.

"The physical characteristics of that person?" Xu Qiansu rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"...Blue-haired, middle-aged male, his every move gives off an extremely calm and reliable feeling."

"The red sun..." Xu Qiansu pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself.

As Cattleya said, she came through the backside of the world, and Chiri, who was also on the backside of the world, came to Xicui for some reason... It was barely plausible.

Although Xu Qian didn't know Chi Ri's purpose, he undoubtedly showed hostility... It is impossible for the two of them to be kind, and they happened to avenge their past and present revenge together.

The reason why Xu Qiansu came to Xicui was entirely because the remnants of the Galaxy team tried to rescue Chiri from the back of the world, but now Xu Qiansu and Chiri are in Xicui... What a fate.

He shook his head lightly, brushed away the distracting thoughts in his mind, glanced at the coir raincoat guest, and sorted out the cause and effect clearly.

If it was Xu Qiansu, he would do anything to keep his Pokémon alive for a few more days...

"Aren't you going to kill him?" Cattleya asked again, raising her hand slightly, and she threw the big-mouthed bat somewhere.

"It's meaningless to kill a chess piece that is being used." Xu Qiansu shook his head lightly. He is not a soft-hearted person, and he has killed people a lot, but at this moment... After all, there is no need to kill him.

"This is the fucking world." Xu Qiansu cursed secretly, then subconsciously turned her head to look at Cattleya, and suddenly remembered the scene when she and Cattleya met for the first time.

"We met for the first time, what's the matter?" Cattleya tilted her head slightly, her voice was clear... she read her mind again.

"At that time, you came here by boat, and you were a bit of a quack."

"Qianhu Qi? What do you mean? What is Jianghu?" Cattleya kept asking questions like a curious baby.

"It means you were very good-looking at that time." Xu Qiansu replied casually.

Cattleya squinted at Xu Qiansu and stopped talking.

Xu Qiansu pondered for a moment, thinking whether he should pretend to be arrested by the coir raincoat, wait until after Zhuqing Village, and kill Chi Ri directly... But in the end, he rejected this idea.

With Chiri's ability and temperament, the Galaxy team and even Zhuqing Village are probably under his control at this moment. Cattleya's superpowers have not recovered, and he has only found the rattan snake... The combat power is seriously insufficient. The risk is too great.

Xu Qiansu raised his hand slightly, indicating that the coir raincoat could leave, and he said slowly, "Accompany the hunting swallowtail until the last moment, and don't take this kind of work again in the future."

The coir raincoat hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qiansu, "I owe you my life. After it leaves, I will ask you to repay it."

Xu Qiansu waved his hand, signaling the coir raincoat to leave quickly... Just because he is willing to let him go, doesn't mean Cattleya is willing.

Clutching his broken arm, the coir raincoat staggered and disappeared into the rainy night.

Cattleya frowned slightly, raised her hand slightly, and immediately Xu Qiansu grabbed her wrist, "Let him go."

Cattleya glanced at Xu Qiansu, and immediately hummed, turning her face away, "I'm hungry."

Xu Qiansu smiled lightly, and held up the oil-paper umbrella with two holes for Cattleya.

Although there was a hole in the umbrella, no raindrops could see through.

the next day.

The showers cleared, the sky was blue, and the clouds seemed to be painted with a paintbrush.

Liuwei, who was sheltering from the rain in a tree hole, got out of it, yawned cutely, stepped on the muddy land after the rain, and walked slowly.

Where are you going? She doesn't know either.

Without Xu Qiansu, she only felt that there was no joy or sorrow in this life.

At that time, after the girl died, Liuwei could at least live for the promise, take actions for that promise, and cross Xiicui... But now, the only purpose of her life is to live, to live until 1000 years later... so Fox's goal made her feel a bit confused...

How to spend this long 1,000 years... find the fire stone to evolve?

What about after evolution?

Thinking of this, Liuwei felt a great sense of loneliness... The little marsupial once felt that she was the only one left in the world, and now Liuwei seems to have a bit of empathy.

"Woo..."

She lowered her little head, slapped her little paw, and stepped forward without a hit.

Most importantly, if it wasn't for her, Xu Qiansu wouldn't have endured so much pain...

In fact, Liuwei didn't even know if Xu Qiansu was still alive... At that time, the fire was so big that a human body must not be able to survive it... And there was no Nine-tailed one who came out to rescue Susu...

I went back to 1000 years ago again, if he also came to Xicui...... After seeing him, would he beat and scold me?

It doesn't matter if you beat and scold yourself, as long as he is still alive, as long as he doesn't want me...

Liuwei sniffled, trying not to shed tears.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she seemed to come to a cliff. As far as she could see, the sky was clear, the sea was blue, and the white petals were fluttering in the wind, but Liuwei couldn't bear to see anything.

"Hmm~" The voice of hunting swallowtails came faintly beside my ears.

Liuwei was silent for a while, then heard the sound and looked around, but saw a human being wearing a coir raincoat and missing an arm sitting cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, a hunting swallowtail fluttering around him, looking very happy... …

Oh, it's the trainer and his Pokémon...

Liuwei retracted her gaze, this situation made her feel even more sad in her heart.

Hunting Swallowtail can still watch the sea with its trainer, but he himself, perhaps killed his trainer with his own hands... Such a comparison made Liuwei finally couldn't help sobbing.

"Hmm?" But the hunting swallowtail butterfly heard the sound and looked over. It waved its gorgeous wings and flew in front of Liuwei, looking at the little fox suspiciously.

It landed next to Liuwei, looked at the sobbing Liuwei, and asked curiously: "I'm almost dying, I've never cried, why are you crying?"

"I can't find my trainer..."

"A trainer... what is it?"

"It's the human next to you."

"Oh... Although I don't know why you call him a trainer, I always treat him like a family member."

"Me too……"

"Your family members can't be found... Where did they disappear? Maybe I can help you find them."

"After 1000 years."

"Oh, in 1000 years... I heard that you can live for 1000 years after evolution, and you still have a chance... But I can't, I'm about to die." Hunting Swallowtail smiled, with envy in her eyes.

"At least, you still have him by your side." Liuwei would rather she was this hunting swallowtail, even if she was about to die, she also hoped that Xu Qiansu would be by her side in the end.

"If I were you, it would be fine..." But the hunting swallowtail didn't think so, it would rather be Liuwei... It was silent for a while, and whispered: "If I have your long lifespan, I don't have to Worried that he is in such pain."

"What do you mean?" Liuwei looked up at it in confusion.

"I was about to die, but he carried me on his back, through the forest, through the creek, over the mountains, and traveled thousands of miles to seek medical treatment... He suffered a lot, and even fought with others, and almost died Fate..." Hunting Swallowtail's voice began to choke,

"He has really suffered a lot. I don't want him to be like this... If I have your life span, he won't have to work so hard... If only I could live a little longer... I don't want to die, and I don't want to die. He is sad..."

Liuwei was silent for a moment, and she said, "If you live long, you have to watch him die with your own eyes."

"That doesn't matter, it's better than him watching me die slowly, powerless and full of pain!"

Liuwei looked at the hunting swallowtail, and then suddenly opened his mouth and bit his front paw, a little blood oozes out, and then a mysterious and mysterious breath emerges from the wound, recovering for her.

Liuwei has sensed this kind of breath countless times.

She tried her best to control this aura, and it escaped to the surroundings...but she couldn't control the power of Phoenix King.

Liuwei refused to accept it, so he directly used his supernatural power to condense his own blood, and stuffed it into the mouth of the hunting swallowtail.

The remnant trace of Phoenix King's power in the blood itself has no effect of prolonging life...but it can slightly activate the remaining vitality in Hunting Swallowie's body, allowing her to live to the limit of this body's lifespan...it can make Hunting Swallowie's life a few more days, or more than ten days?

Six tails don't know...but after all, it's useful...

"You..." The man in the coir raincoat with one arm missing walked slowly, and was about to say something, but the tip of his nose moved slightly, and he was slightly startled, "Why do you smell like him? You Is it his Pokémon?"

"Huh?" Liuwei was taken aback, and turned his head to look at the coir raincoat.

Huh———————————

Liuwei doesn't live in the forest, she runs and runs, panting, exhausted, but her heart is surging.

Pat——

Because she was too eager, she tripped and rolled on the ground several times.

She got up, didn't care about it, and continued to run, run, and run, and finally, when the sky was dark and night fell, she saw a town surrounded by high walls.

Liuwei climbed up the high wall without hesitation, under the cover of night, jumped over the wall, jumped onto the low eaves, found a direction, and stood on top of a low bungalow with several ups and downs.

Liuwei looked around for a few times, recalled the words of the coir raincoat, and confirmed that he did not go wrong.

Blood was rushing up all over her body, she could only feel her heart beating, and only the sound of her own heartbeat was left in her ears.

Liuwei exhaled deeply, there were many people on the street, so she landed in the backyard, raised her face and looked at the wooden window, exerted her hind legs, kicked slightly, jumped onto the window sill, and looked into the house.

The warm yellow light swayed slightly with the evening breeze brought by her jump.

Behind a blue curtain, there seemed to be some lively voices, probably eating...

The voices of two Pokémon, a female voice, and a male voice...

Liuwei leaped into the room from the window, stepped on the bed on the tatami mats, then took a deep breath, and carefully took steps, small steps, small steps towards the blue curtain.

Suddenly, the curtain was pulled open, Xu Qiansu heard the sound, looked with a little guard in his eyes, but saw nothing.

He was slightly startled, lowered his eyes, and met Liuwei who was looking up at him.

"Woo!?" For some reason, Liuwei took a step back subconsciously, is it unbelievable? Or guilt?

Six tails don't know either...

"...Liuwei?" Xu Qiansu was taken aback for a moment, then stretched out his hands, his voice trembling slightly, "Liuwei, come on..."

"Huh?"

Liuwei hadn't reacted yet, but Xu Qiansu had already taken her into his arms with great strides, and thousands of words came to his mind, but he pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "... Are you hungry?"

The tip of the nose was full of familiar smells, Liuwei was silent for a while when he heard this, and then suddenly started to cry.

Whether it's self-blame or not daring to face Xu Qiansu... Liuwei at the moment has only one thought in his head.

It's great that you're still alive.

—————Pokémon Research Notes—————

"Six tails... thank you for being alive."

…………………………………………………………………

The end of 2022, which was full of disasters, has finally passed.

I have nothing to say.

Like this chapter...it's great that we're all still alive.
