Chapter 190 The Fourth Retrospection (6200)

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the heavy clouds were spinning in the endless black curtain like a whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool, a faint white moon floated, with a strange and quiet moonlight.

"This is..."

An incredible expression appeared on Peacock's old face.

He glanced around, as if he realized something in an instant. He quickly took out a compass from his arms.

The compass needle began to rotate, and the black needle tip did not point to the frame of the illusory mirror in the church, but pointed directly in the opposite direction. It seemed to be in the center of Mensa Village.

Moreover, the ruby ​​in the center began to glow.

"Sure enough... Hahaha... Sure enough..."

Peacock laughed: "Since the compass has emitted light once, the fragments of the door must exist inside Mensa Village..."

He now understands what is going on, the legendary illusory mirror, the mirror in the Soma myth that has the power to reverse truth and falsehood. The illusory mirror that he got from the basement just now only has a frame but no mirror surface. The fragments of the door are not in the frame, but on the disappeared mirror surface.

It was that mirror that caused the current vision.

Swish!

He suppressed the joy in his heart, rushed out of the Mensa Church like lightning, and chased after Kaxiu who was running wildly in the distance.

The streets inside Mensa Village are interconnected, and the village is obviously much newer in the dark. Footsteps flashed quickly in a dark alley, and Kaxiu's figure appeared at the corner of the road.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a gloomy face.

After a quick fight just now, Kaxiu once again recognized his own strength. He is a boxer who poses a certain threat to fighters. First, he has hard Qigong and is really very resistant to beating. Even if a fighter wants to beat him to death with a large lethal force, it will take some time. Second, he is young and strong, relying on the power-type killing move of the Wind Elephant Fist, combined with the Blue Wind Airflow. If he can get a chance, the fighter will be beaten to death.

However, the old man named Peacock just now has rich combat experience, a cautious and smooth fighting style, and rich moves.

He has an advantage in the battle, but he is not at all excited.

He does not give Kaxiu any chance to find any flaws.

This kind of opponent is undoubtedly terrible. He knows what his advantages are and hides his disadvantages. He continues to expand the results little by little with his speed advantage and skill advantage.

If it is a fighter with a very aggressive fighting style, Kaxiu will not have such a headache. Maybe he will be suppressed more and injured more seriously, but he can always find an opportunity.

Exchange injuries for injuries, or even a desperate counterattack.

"Here it comes..."

Kaxiu glanced back and saw a black figure flying at a very fast speed. Every time it took off and landed, it would fly several meters away.

It was like a water bird passing lightly on the river.

"Whose family are you from?! Why are you running around during the Great Spirit Sacrifice? Hurry up and go to the square to worship!" At the end of the alley, three men holding torches walked towards this side step by step. They were wearing old gray and black linen clothes.

The flickering firelight could illuminate the black tattoos on the necks of these men. It was a black snake that was coiled around and opened its bloody mouth. It looked like it was going to swallow my head.

"Get out of the way!"

Kaxiu had no intention of paying attention to them at all. He just dodged and bumped into them. On the way, he even knocked down a man with his shoulder. He took a step and disappeared at the beginning of the next street.

"Damn it! How dare he run rampant during the Great Spirit Sacrifice! It must be those bastards in the church, damn foreign invaders!" The man who was hit stood up cursing and looked at the middle-aged man holding a torch on the far right.

There was a white bone whistle hanging around the middle-aged man's neck.

"If it's just one person, don't make a big fuss. Let's notify other patrols to catch him and judge him under the Great Spirit!"

The middle-aged man waved the torch in his hand.

"Hey? Over there..."

Kacha! Bang!

The man flew out directly like a cloud, and the whole person hit the wall heavily, with blood gushing out of his mouth.

His chest had collapsed, revealing his broken internal organs, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The middle-aged man was standing, and Peacock, who was using this to relieve the force, retracted his elbow and looked at the three people with interest.

"How lifelike... even with a real touch..."

Peacock raised his elbow and glanced at the other two people's terrified expressions: "Is this the power of the illusory mirror with the fragments of the door? It directly restored a Mensa village decades ago, and even the dead came back to life..."

His eyes were burning, and he stepped on the ground, and his figure flashed and disappeared in the alley. Only the two terrified people were left at the corner.

"William..."

"Hurry up and use the bone whistle to notify other patrols in the village!"

The two were about to run, but their heads suddenly fell off their heads. They fell to the ground with a click, and blood flowed out.

Blood gushed out and gradually seeped into the cracks between the bricks and stones.

At some point, the head that fell to the ground began to move on its own. A black tail-like thing stuck out from the broken head, and its surface was covered with scales. It began to crawl with a hissing sound. Finally, it disappeared along the shadow of the corner with its head.

Bang!

Kaxiu's fist hit the wall hard.

Suddenly, a hole as big as a head appeared and gravel flew.

On the side, Peacock pecked three times with both hands. Each time, it hit the area from Kaxiu's armpit to his ribs, tearing the thick skin directly, drawing blood, and making the tough muscles numb.

Kaxiu turned around and threw an explosive slashing hand knife. The strong wind blew Peacock's clothes on his chest, and the fabric was torn. There was also a blood mark on his chest, but it was just a skin injury.

"Boy, your destructive power is really good, but your moves are only effective when they hit the person. Your posture is too obvious, and there are also some flaws in the connection of your moves. You haven't practiced your secret martial arts to the real perfection yet..." Peacock said while punching: "To truly integrate a martial art, you need to integrate all the straight punches, swing punches, hand knives, elbows, whip kicks, knee strikes and other moves together. The straight punch in the last second may be a whip kick in the next second, the hand knife in the last moment, and the knee strike in the next moment. Switch your moves at will, lift heavy objects with ease..."

He didn't know why he was talking so much now, maybe it was to vent his excitement, or maybe he wanted to confuse Kaxiu with words.

"..."

Kaxiu has been silent and didn't speak. He has many marks of injuries on his body, and at least three of them affect the movement of muscles and joints. Peacock's combat experience is indeed much richer than his.

With a swish, the light on his face changed again, and the night turned into day. Then only a second later, the day turned into night again. The night is getting longer and longer.

Taking advantage of this flash.

Peacock and Kaxiu collided again, and this time they seemed to be serious. Roaring and eyes were red. The collision of fists produced a loud muffled sound like beating drums.

Half of the street was demolished by the brute force of both sides, and most of the gray-white walls collapsed. Many patrols with torches surrounded them.

The two sides who were fighting fiercely had no intention of stopping. The two blurred figures fought while rushing through the streets. All the villagers who blocked the way forward in the passage were knocked out or squeezed against the wall like pancakes. Blood and torches filled the broken road.

"It's useless! What's the use of practicing hard qigong? It's just a sandbag to be beaten!" Peacock shouted and threw a punch.

Colliding with Kaxiu's iron fist, both sides were shocked.

Peacock rushed forward, and Kaxiu's tall body was directly pushed down by the wall, and fell to the ground with a bang.

In the dust.

Peacock's face turned purple and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He raised his trembling hand to wipe it off, and his state returned to normal.

When the dust dispersed, Peacock looked at the hole.

This was an oval square with many white stone pillars standing on it, and flames were floating on the top of the stone pillars. Dense figures were all over the square, and there were nearly a thousand people in all.

They were all villagers from Mensa Village. At this moment, they were kneeling on the ground with their heads down. Their hands were misplaced on their shoulders on both sides, hugging each other. It was like a horizontal symmetrical hourglass.

In the center of all the villagers, the huge snake statue was lifelike, a ferocious python with its mouth open to devour the sky.

A skinny old man wearing only a grass skirt and naked was dancing around the campfire. He held a wooden scepter in his hand, a tooth pendant hung around his neck, and black snake tattoos were all over his body, densely packed like a pile of leeches.

The old man was still mumbling in a kind of dialect that was completely incomprehensible, with a strange flavor.

"Kusa!"

He roared and raised the wooden stick in his hand.

All the villagers raised their heads and shouted at the same time: "Kusa!"

Then, everyone looked over here.

The target was Kaxiu, who had just gotten up from the ground after accidentally breaking into the square. Kaxiu also felt the malice behind him.

Just as he was about to rush out of the square with all his strength, he was hit in the chest again by a flash of black shadow, and the whole person stepped back.

Wow!

Kaxiu spat out a mouthful of blood and saw the peacock behind the wall. He was holding a compass in his hand and looking at the center of the square.

"It can't be wrong... The fragment of the door is inside the snake statue." Peacock's eyes flickered: "I can feel the danger over there, let this kid help me test it."

"Hiss...hiss..."

Kaxiu, who had just stood firm, was injured. He vaguely heard the sound coming from around the square, like a snake climbing?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the floor of the square, there were indeed more than a dozen black snakes moving quickly. But their heads were extremely strange. They were not slender snake heads, but fat human heads!

Everyone's face was full of fear and pain.

It turned out to be the villagers who were affected by Kaxiu and Peacock just now!

All the human-headed snakes rushed towards Kaxiu, and their arched bodies bounced on the ground like springs, rushing over one by one.

Bang bang bang...

Kaxiu waved his fists at a high speed, blowing up the flying heads one by one. The broken snake body fell to the ground powerlessly like kelp.

"Kusa!"

A shout came from the center of the square again. This strange word seemed to be something like Hallelujah.

It means: praise the great spirit, praise the giant snake.

The densely packed villagers in the square raised their heads, with strange and dull smiles on their faces. They raised their hands and put them on their heads, then twisted them with a snap. They directly pulled their heads off, and a hissing sound like a hornet's nest sounded.

Nearly a thousand human-headed snakes rushed to the statue in the center like a tide, in groups like black waves on the sea.

Boom...

That was the sound of a huge snake body crushing stone slabs.

A black python as big as a house climbed down from the wooden frame, and its body was covered with black scales. And these so-called black scales were actually made up of the faces of villagers.

Dumb and sluggish, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

As soon as this huge human-headed snake appeared, it opened its bloody mouth. In one bite, it swallowed Kaxiu whole!

It even chewed a sunken hole in the ground.

"Kusa!"

The giant snake stood upright in the moonlight, and the human face scales on the surface of its body shouted at the same time, forming a deafening resonance.

Only a hundred meters apart.

Peacock, who was watching this scene, smiled.

He took out a translucent eyeball from his arms.

No, it was a human eyeball that was sealed in an amber ball as a specimen. The eyeball was blue all over, and there were two pupils in the center. The mysterious blue was like the sea.

The prop of the Gate Organization, the Blue Eye of Tears, was made by the leader of the organization, Xia Du. It is a prop that can strongly attract the fragments of the Gate, but it can only be used once and is fragile.

Peacock held up the Blue Eye of Tears with one hand, and gently tapped it three times with the other hand, penetrating it with subtle force.

Crack~

The amber on the surface broke, and a blue light gushed out from the broken mouth, and then the amber peeled down inch by inch.

Peacock released his hand at the right time.

A blue eyeball just floated in the air.

Two blue lights like searchlights were projected out.

It illuminated the giant snake climbing in the distance.

The black giant snake trembled violently, and its whole body froze at that moment, like a statue unable to move.

"Haha, hahahahahaha!"

Peacock walked over while laughing.

After joining the Gate Organization for ten years, he was finally...he was about to have his own fragment of the Gate. Although he didn't know which door it was, as long as it was a fragment of the Gate, it would be fine! Peacock is not picky about food, no matter which fragment it is, it can help him get back on track!

"Let me see where it is?"

Peacock waved his hands eagerly and tore the scales of the human head on the giant snake. The giant snake fixed by the blue light had no defense at all, and its abdominal cavity was emptied into a bloody mess in an instant. Dozens of human heads were thrown casually on the ground of the square.

"Where is it? Where is it!? Fragments..."

With blood dripping from his hands, Peacock dug all the way along the instructions of the compass. Finally, he locked on the enlarged tissue that occupied a quarter of the length of the digestive tract, which was the stomach of this giant snake.

The red light of the compass flashed rapidly, and finally lit up directly.

"It's here, that's right!"

Peacock was ecstatic.

But the next moment he made a puzzled sound: "Huh?"

There seems to be something squirming inside the stomach wall? !

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

Snakes have super strong stomach acid.

Kaxiu experienced this for real.

He was swallowed alive by the giant python. The python's body was like steel, constantly squirming and squeezing, bringing a terrifying force! Kaxiu's body was already seriously injured, and now he was bleeding from all seven orifices. Fortunately, he had hard qigong, so he survived.

Until he slid into the python's stomach, the terrifying stomach acid rapidly corroded Kaxiu's whole body, which was a more painful stimulation than practicing the secret technique of the elephant soul. Squirming and corroding, unimaginable torture.

Kaxiu knew that he had only one way now.

That was to infuse all the obsession energy into the wind ivory pendant and enter the third stage of the wind ivory pendant, the retrospective era decades ago. When his spirit entered the retrospective era, all time in the real world stopped.

"Obsession Energy: 3.5"

An extremely cold air flow rushed out of Kaxiu's body and then poured into the wind ivory pendant on his neck.

"Uh."

During this process, Kaxiu suddenly groaned. He felt as if something pierced his chest, like a piece of glass. But Kaxiu couldn't care about any injuries now, the retrospection was about to begin...

Buzz!

His whole brain shook, and a hazy feeling rose from his body. In an instant, Kaxiu was isolated from the outside world, and even the pain of being corroded was weakened.

In the dark giant snake's stomach, the whole space changed like a dizzy world. Kaxiu felt like he was stuffed into a washing machine, spinning continuously in silence and blur. Finally, he was thrown out by the vortex, snap!

Hongli Federation calendar 110, May, 7.

Crack!

A white lightning in the shape of a tree fork crossed the sky.

Beiliu County, a brown cabin in a mountain forest.

Two half-grown children were busy next to the cabin, one was a chubby boy, and the other was a little girl with a cute face. The two were very skilled in lighting a fire and boiling food.

The sound of bubbling gurgled.

A faint smell of food could not help but arouse people's appetite.

The little girl swallowed her saliva and tried to get the small wooden bowl next to her. But the older boy stopped her with a look.

"Xia La, give it to the uncle first."

"Yes." The girl pursed her lips and nodded obediently.

Suddenly, a roaring roar came from the wooden house. The hoarse male voice seemed to be experiencing something extremely painful.

"It's the uncle! His illness has recurred!"

The boy stood up anxiously. He looked at the girl and said quickly: "Xia La, take the wooden basin to the river to get some cold water. I'll go in to see how the uncle is doing. Go fast on the road and be careful!"

"Okay."

Xia La quickly disappeared on the side of the cabin.

The boy pushed open the wooden door and walked into the cabin.

The layout of the house was very simple, with a table, a chair, and then two wooden beds, one large and one small.

And on the smaller bed.

A thin middle-aged man was shaking constantly, with sweat all over his forehead. His face was full of painful and twisted expressions, and his scarred face became even more hideous and ugly.

He looked only in his early thirties, definitely less than forty. But his hair was completely white and lifeless.

It was messy like withered weeds.

The boy approached a few steps and suddenly heard the man's crazy mumbling, as if he was talking in his sleep.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault!"

"Why can you only run away? Where else can you run to?"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Li Chu, Lixia, Shirley... I... I... I..."

"Uncle!" The boy shouted, but the man couldn't hear him at all. He was still mumbling with his bloodshot eyes wide open, and the whole person was constantly immersed in painful memories.

His pale and cracked lips kept moving.

He said he was a coward, and when his sister was violated by the gangsters, he huddled in the corner like a wilted bean sprout.

He said he was a bastard, and on the night when the sect was attacked, he ran away like a boneless slug!

He also said that he was a disaster star, and anyone who got close to him would have a bad ending. The woman he loved most was killed by him.

He said that he should have died a long time ago, and he had nothing when Shirley died that night seven years ago. After that, he was just dreaming a nightmare that he never wanted to wake up from.

Now the only thing that supports his broken body is the flame of revenge. He has already been drained of his life potential by the forbidden technique.

He doesn't want to forget those pains and memories.

Because forgetting is more terrible than death.

The boy listened to the man's tragic experience, but did not interrupt the painful mumbling. He just moved a bench and sat beside him.

He listened while wiping his tears.

Until the man said that he was a waste and should die now, the boy cried loudly to defend the man.

"I don't know what you were like before, but how can the uncle be a waste now? Didn't you rescue Xia La and me from those monsters? And Nasu, Mr. Sidney, Miss Chiara, etc. Look, I saved more than ten people in half a year. How can the uncle be called a waste?"

The boy wiped his eyes with his hands, and his nose bubbled.

He spoke loudly, talking about everything he witnessed after being rescued by the man. They were all real and meaningful. They helped people get out of suffering little by little.

Why is the rescuer still struggling in the quagmire?

The boy suddenly remembered a famous saying in the textbook.

People are like trees. The more they yearn for the sunlight above, the more their roots will extend into the dark underground. Survive or rot...

"Cough cough cough cough!"

The man began to cough violently, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and even blood in the abdomen gradually seeped into his clothes.

At this time, the little girl outside the door walked in.

Tens of minutes later.

The boiled hot water was placed in a wooden basin.

The boy carefully took off the man's upper body clothes, revealing an ugly body full of scars. Various kinds of wounds, densely crawling all over the body like a centipede.

That was the result of frequent battles and the use of forbidden techniques.

The thin body was skinny and the skin was wrinkled like an old man. In the abdomen, a penetrating wound was wrapped with a bandage. Threads of blood turned purple and overflowed.

Half an hour later, the sweaty boy and girl helped the man change into clean clothes, and the wooden basin was full of purple.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset also set. Only a little bit of light shone on the bed through the wooden window.

The man with his eyes closed, his pupils moved under his eyelids.

His fists were clenched tightly, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

It was like he was having a very terrible nightmare.

Until the sunlight was about to disappear completely from the window.

The man suddenly stopped trembling, his breathing returned to normal, and his tightly clenched fists also relaxed. In the darkness...

A pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened.

Not yet modified...
