Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 23: Selling oneself for refuge

A few days ago.

"Who?!" the sailor on guard suddenly shouted, nervously clenching the spear in his hand.

A suspicious humanoid shadow emerged from the bushes. After taking one look at the sailor, he fell to the ground and passed out.

The sailor was stunned, and carefully came to the unconscious mysterious man, put a spear on his shoulder, and turned his face up to face the sky.

Although his face was pitch black and there were horrific burns, the sailor frowned for a while and still recognized the identity of this mysterious man.

"It's yellow algae!!!"

"The algae are still alive."

"Captain Blue Algae, your brother is still alive. He is back."

The sailor shouted, alerting the exploration team members in the entire camp.

A group of people swarmed over. The leader of the group, Cyanobacteria, had a strong body, as strong as two adults put together, and had a rich and deep aura of bronze.

Seeing the unconscious Huang Zao, Lan Zao was in disbelief at first, and then was filled with surprise. He quickly squatted down, raised Huang Zao's head, and made him half-lying.

"Brother, brother, wake up!" Blue Algae shouted.

Although Huang Zao was unconscious, he was still murmuring: "Water...water..."

As soon as Lan Zhao stretched out his hand, other sailors immediately handed over the water bags.

After being moistened by water, the yellow algae finally slowly woke up.

The blurred vision gradually became clearer, and Huang Zao almost shed tears when he saw Lan Zao's rough face: "Brother, I am Huang Zao, I am back, and I have saved a life!"

Huang Zao's voice was very hoarse and extremely weak.

He was chasing the large army alone, and it was not easy in this dangerous forest.

"Xuan Zao, what happened? We all thought you were dead. Captain Lan Zao tried to go back to find you several times, but everyone stopped him. No one thought you could survive. Lan Zao wiped your tears several times." An old man squeezed into the crowd.

His face was surrounded by a skinny figure and a pair of cracked glasses. He had a lot of gray beard. Because he had been sleeping in the open air and had not cleaned it for a long time, the white beard turned black and gray, like a rag that had been used for a long time.

This old man is Cang Xu.

He is an old scholar who has served the nobles for many years.

Everyone in the exploration team respected him. Because of his guidance, the exploration team walked out of the desert.

"Thank the gods, thank fate, you are still here, you are still alive. God, this is really a miracle!" Cyanobacteria shouted loudly.

"Tell your brother, what happened to you?" Lan Zao was also very curious.

Huang Zao was so angry that he snorted: "I didn't die at all. I just fainted temporarily at that time..."

He briefly explained the development and results of the matter.

Lan Zao sighed with emotion: "Xan Zao, you really saved a life, it was really thrilling."

People around him echoed, saying words of exclamation or congratulations.

However, the old scholar Cang Xu's face became serious: "It's troublesome, everyone, it seems that we are in trouble."

"What's the trouble?" someone asked.

"No matter how troublesome it is, I will never abandon my brother! Let's fight against the spider swarm!" A flash of killing intent flashed in Lan Zao's eyes, and his attitude was very determined.

Huang Zao said: "There are no spiders following me, so don't worry. As long as you escape from their hunting place, those spiders will climb back into the canopy again. I have been with them for several days."

"Besides, in the last fire, all the spiders were probably burned to death."

Huang Zao sounded proud. The danger was over, and his escape became a piece of bragging rights.

The old scholar shook his head: "I'm not talking about spiders, I'm talking about those two people."

"Those two people must have died long ago, although it is a pity." Huang Zao said. He did not directly confess that he fled in the face of battle, but said that the eight-legged spider attacked Zhenjin and the others, and that he was lucky. After being let go, he took the opportunity to escape.

"Not necessarily dead." The old scholar sighed.

Lan Zao muttered: "Low-level magic and fighting spirit are prohibited on this island. Are those two young men so capable that they can escape the angry eight-legged spider leader?"

The old scholar always frowned: "The strength of the black iron level is indeed prohibited on this island. But what about the silver level? What about the gold level? There are no such strong people among us, so we are not sure whether such strength is also subject to restrictions. Ban!"

Huang Zao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Mr. Cangxu, do you think those two people are silver masters, or even gold masters? This is impossible, they are too young. Besides, I have never felt anything from them. I smell something like silver and gold. But that girl seems to be a black iron-level magician."

The old scholar laughed and shook his head slightly: "Are there many young strong men? General Bailang of Hantie City is only seventeen years old, and Shui Si, the great magician of the Golden Rose Family, is only a sixteen-year-old girl. The recent rise of The killer spiral stone was excavated from civilians by the Killer Alliance, and it is said that he is only eighteen years old."

"No way. These people are all big figures in the future, and they are too far away from us. Could it be that I just met such people casually?"

The old scholar said in a low-pitched voice: "The possibility is very high. According to your description, that girl has black iron strength at a young age. She cannot be ignored, so what kind of power did she cultivate? "

"The girl respectfully addressed the boy as "sir", but what about this boy's status and strength? You can think about it."

Everyone was lost in thought, and the faces of the two brothers, Xuan Zao and Lan Zao, started to look ugly.

After waiting for a moment, the old scholar continued: "I think that young man not only has a high status, he is also very strong. It is unlikely that he will have a gold level, but he is probably a silver-level expert."

"Mr. Cangxu, do you have any evidence?" Lan Zao asked, "Why do you think so?"

Cang Xu smiled: "We can think about it from another angle. Suppose you find the person asking for help. To rescue this person, you will face more than a dozen bronze-level eight-legged spiders. And your teammates, including you, only have Two people. If you are not at the silver or gold level, how dare you provoke these spiders and risk saving people?"

Blue Algae opened her mouth wide and was speechless for a moment.

"So, these two people are probably not dead. I offended a silver expert, maybe even a gold-level expert?" Huang Zao said to himself, the corners of his mouth twitching.

"I shouldn't have run away, I should have returned the dagger to them! I was wrong, I made a big mistake!!" Huang Zao grabbed Lan Zao's arm tightly and shouted repeatedly.

Under tremendous psychological pressure, he finally chose to confess.

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard that he escaped from the battlefield and took away the key dagger.

"Mr. Cangxu, what should we do?" Lan Zao didn't pay attention and could only turn his eyes to the old scholar for advice.

"Don't panic, everyone." Cang Xu raised his hand to stabilize everyone's emotions, "Things haven't gotten out of hand yet."

"Everything before was just my guess. The two of them have probably become food for spiders, or died in a sea of ​​fire. Isn't it?"

"But didn't you just say it? It's more likely that these two people have solved the problem and are chasing us. We have left marks along the way." Lan Zao's face was extremely tangled.

Cang Xu nodded and stared at Lan Zhi with a deep look: "So, we have to turn around and go back now. We have to confirm whether the two of them are alive or dead."

"If they die, we might be able to pick up some excellent equipment."

"If they are still alive and are in some kind of predicament, we will help them both, repay them for saving Huang Zao's life, and atone for Huang Zao's escape."

"If they are hunting us, I strongly suggest that you do not resist unless you have to. Think about it carefully, can we compete with a strong man who can defeat a group of eight-legged spiders?"

"Surrender! Surrender is a good option."

"Don't forget, we were all once on a ship, and we all ended up here. They need us, and big men need subordinates. At least they need enough people to control the ship."

Scholar Cang Xu’s words made everyone nod.

"Then, what should I do?" Huang Zao asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm here, brother." Although Lan Zao said this, his tone was obviously lacking in confidence.

Cang Xu looked at Huang Zao sincerely: "Strong resistance will only lead to death. Even if you escape blindly, where can you escape? Escape to the forest and be eaten by wild beasts? According to my method, you are the biggest vitality. Remember, if the two big shots are still alive, you must try your best to show the value of your survival. Don’t be stingy with your belongings. Although the big shots will definitely look down on you, you must contribute them and you must fully express your regrets. heart."

Huang Zao kept nodding his head, trying his best to remember Cang Xu's words in his heart.

Just like that, the group turned around and returned along the same path.

At the location of Shanquan, they encountered Zhenjin and Zidi.

They took the initiative to show up, and Huang Zao came out of the crowd and walked in front of the young girl.

"It's you! Humph, we finally caught you, Huang Zao."

Zidi was displeased and Zhenjin remained silent with an unkind look.

Huang Zao's heart was trembling.

How he wished that Zhenjin and Zidi would die like this. But now the two people were standing in front of him.

Even though Huang Zao is a rough guy and confused by nature, the meaning contained in it has already been explained clearly and clearly by the old scholar Cang Xu.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Zao saw the "new weapon" equipped on Zhen Jin.

These war spears, sickles, and swords are obviously assembled from spider forelimbs and wood!

"They eliminated the silver-level spider leader!"

"Why am I so unlucky to meet two big shots?!"

Clang.

The scimitar in Huang Zao's hand was thrown on the rocks.

Then, with a plop, Huang Zao knelt on the ground, hit his forehead hard on the ground, and took the initiative to beg for mercy: "Two adults! I am Huang Zao, and I ran away from the battle. I was wrong, I committed an unforgivable crime! Xiao Xiao People will not resist, and if they want to be killed or chopped into pieces, it is entirely up to the two adults to deal with them!"

The boy and girl looked at each other, a little confused

What's happening here?

After they were surrounded, they thought these people were going to do harm to them. As a result, Huang Zao directly confessed and surrendered.

"Two adults, the old man's name is Cang Xu. He is a scholar and has served the Shata family for thirty-eight years." The old scholar also came over at this time.

Behind him was a strong man, who was Lan Zao.

Zhen Jin did not speak, but Zidi took half a step forward and took the initiative to speak out: "I am Zidi, the leader of the contemporary Zidian Chamber of Commerce. Now I am honored to introduce to you - the gentleman in front of you is a noble bloodline owner. Or, his bloodline can be traced back to the legendary Warcraft Golden Needle Queen Bee. He is the sole heir of the Hundred Needles family, a Templar, and a candidate for the master of Baisha City this time."

"Wisteria Chamber of Commerce?" When Zidi just spoke, someone among the crowd couldn't help but whisper.

These people have all heard more or less about this famous chamber of commerce.

"Knights Templar?" When Zidi said this, another exclamation arose.

Lan Zao's body swayed, and Huang Zao knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and his ears began to buzz.

"The Baizhen Family..." Cang Xu, an old scholar, narrowed his pupils.

He knows far more about the nobles than Blue Algae, Yellow Algae and others. Cang Xu knew clearly: the Baizhen family was not simple. Although this family suffered heavy losses due to their resistance to the empire, they were once great nobles in the south and had a profound foundation. The contemporary leader of the Baizhen clan is a gold-level powerhouse. Although he has suffered heavy losses, he still cannot be underestimated. And the young man in front of him is the sole heir of this family?

A respectful look appeared on Cang Xu's face, he bent down to salute, and said in a deep voice: "Cang Xu is lucky enough to be able to meet you two adults here."

Lan Zao knelt on the ground and said, "Lan Zao is here to greet you two adults. Sir, Huang Zao is my biological brother. I am willing to sacrifice my own life to ask you to forgive his sins!"

"Brother!" Huang Zao raised his head, straightened his upper body, and looked at Lan Zao in shock. His forehead was already stained with blood.

Zhen Jin's face was expressionless and silent. This behavior brought increasing pressure on others.

"Two adults." The old scholar spoke again, "Please allow me, an outsider, to confess all the facts I have seen."

"Say it." Zhen Jin finally said the first sentence.

Cang Xu exhaled a breath and continued: "Huang Zao put down his unforgivable sin, and he tried his best to finally rush back to his brother. He was so frightened that he was so weak that he fell into a coma."

"This reckless and cowardly young man did flee in the face of death. But after he settled down, he was even more tortured by the guilt and guilt he had shouldered."

"He fell into deep remorse and self-blame. He did not hide anything. He told the truth to all of us, and prayed for everyone's help to rush back to the Spider Forest to rescue the two adults."

"It is precisely because of this that we are lucky enough to meet these two adults here."

"I would also like to ask you two adults to give Huang Zao a lighter sentence if he has the heart to repent and atone for his sins."

The yellow algae and blue algae cast grateful glances at Cang Xu.

Zidi glanced at the two brothers kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but sneer: "This despicable and cowardly villain deceived Master Zhenjin and concealed the existence of the Silver Monster just for his own selfish interests. Then he escaped from the battlefield and killed the noble blood man. In dangerous places, kindness will be repaid with hatred! Scholar, do you advise us to treat such people lightly?"

Cang Xu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "When I met you two adults for the first time, it was really offensive and overstepping for me to say these words. But in fact, the two of them are not soldiers of the empire, they are just soldiers on the Pig's Kiss. Sailor, when it comes to escaping from battle, that’s not enough, right?”

"Alas, these two brothers are actually poor people. They were born as fishermen and lost their parents very early. The two brothers can only depend on each other. If you want to execute the younger brother, then I am afraid that the older brother will not live alone."

"Lord Zhenjin, you are a Templar, a knight among knights. You are born noble and have a bright future, just like the clouds. And these brothers are just ants in the soil. Lord Zhenjin, you must be the future Lord of Baisha City . By then, your glory will surely shine on the entire city, and your kindness will surely nourish all the city residents. Why are you stingy with these two little ants?"

"If you forgive these two pitiful little ants, I believe they will repent for life and remember your compassion and kindness. They will do their best to repay your kindness!"

Zidi raised her brows and took a deep look at Cang Xu, but did not speak.

Cang Xu gently kicked the blue algae kneeling on the ground.

Lan Zao was excited and loudly said: "Sir, please be merciful and give us two brothers a chance to confess their sins and repay your life-saving kindness. Please be tolerant of you and reluctantly accept us two humble slaves. Find Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com From now on, let me be driven by you!"

Huang Zao didn't speak, but kept kowtowing.

The two brothers' pleading gesture moved others.

"Sir." Zidi looked at Zhenjin, as if she were a subordinate waiting for the latter's decision.

Everyone looked at Zhenjin.

The old scholar Cang Xu lowered his head and looked down at the ground.

Seeing the blood on the faces of the two brothers, Zhen Jin slowly spoke expressionlessly: "It is my Templar creed to save the wounded and the weak. It is precisely because of this that I took action in the Spider Forest. save you."

"Don't overestimate people, and don't underestimate people. This sentence is the family motto of my Hundred Needles clan. Therefore, Yellow Algae and Blue Algae, I am willing to give you two a chance. I hope you can use loyalty and practical actions to change What I think of you.”

"Thank you! Thank you, sir!" Yellow Algae and Blue Algae were overjoyed.

The people around him breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked at the yellow algae and blue algae, many people couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

Although the two brothers sold themselves into slavery and lost their freedom, they might become prosperous in the future by relying on a big shot like Zhen Jin.

Cang Xu leaned over and saluted again, saying: "Master Zhenjin, your magnanimity is like the earth, and your kindness is comparable to the sun. Praise you, you will be our banner. Under your leadership, we humble people can move forward correctly." OK."

Zhen Jin looked at the people around him, his body as straight as a gun, and his plain voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"The glory of the temple covers every inch of the land. The military flag of the empire protects every citizen of the empire. Follow me, and I will lead you out of here alive."

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded in unison, half-kneeling on the ground.
