Chapter 396 Kong Yangzheng!
Buzz——
Enveloped in a lavender halo, the instruments that had been built were returned to parts under the influence of time powers, and then quickly degraded into raw materials, making it impossible to see their original appearance.
Ji Xing gathered the scattered parts, looked up at his and Xiao Ai's laboratory, confirmed that there was no 'black technology' for this era, clapped his hands and walked out of the laboratory.
The goals of One Piece World have basically been achieved. The next step is to let the bullets fly for a while and wait for the starlight to increase to five stars.
He is not in a hurry to get the profits, and he plans to stay in the pirate world for a few more years.
The technological legacy of Vegapunk and the Giant Kingdom still has more research value, and the deciphering of the bloodline factors has not yet been completed.
Just by eating the Demon Fruit, the experience of physical changes has already benefited him a lot. He has a deeper understanding of the fusion and change of the two bloodline factors, and the main world has also gained something.
Even if he doesn't take the pirate profits for the time being, he should have a little more ability to protect himself.
And now, he is also facing a phased change in the main world and needs to invest more energy - he and Xiao Ai are moving to one of the central human cities in the Demon Continent!
Four-star world, time ratio is 180:1.
Ji Xing spent a total of less than six years in the pirate world, and about 12 days have passed here.
The walkie-talkie he 'invented' has once again attracted the hunter Yanqiu, and just today, he was about to follow Yanqiu to Zhongdu.
From the bedroom next door, Xiao Ai walked out with difficulty with a huge baggage in both hands. Ji Xing helped her carry it over in a funny way, weighed it and said: "This weighs more than 30 kilograms. I remember I only pretended to Two sets of clothes? Why, did you put them in the wardrobe?"
Xiao Ai rolled her eyes and refused to answer Ji Xing who was teasing her knowingly. Instead, she said, "Has everything been tidied up in the laboratory?"
"Yes, I checked." Ji Xing said: "Let's take another look at this home. After all, we have lived here for more than two years, and we may not come back in the future. Sister Shengnan and the others just left home not long ago, and it will probably take ten minutes to walk to our place. "
"There's nothing to see. Everything I need to bring has already been put in my bag." Xiao Ai said.
"Then let's go downstairs."
They went to the door and picked up another big bag. They locked the door and waited in the courtyard.
‘Do you want to take a look at Xiao Chen Duo before leaving? ’ Such a thought flashed through Ji Xing’s mind, and he shook his head secretly: ‘Forget it, I won’t go. ’
After waiting for a while, a striking figure carrying a large package appeared on the street corner in the distance, followed by Hong Hong, a 13-year-old girl with a delicate face but a bit of a tomboy temperament after being trained by the hunter.
"Li He! Xiao Ai! Have you two been waiting for a long time?!" The signature loud voice appeared.
"Sister Katsunan, it's only been a few minutes!"
Because of his considerable improvement in strength and outstanding ability control during the two years since he became a numbered hunter candidate, Xu Shengnan happened to be going to work in Zhongdu and was awarded an official number, so he went with him.
Honghong has successfully tested the lower-level hunter and is a little genius. It would be more beneficial to go to Zhongdu to practice, so Xu Shengnan took her away with him.
After a year and a half, she will settle down there and then come back to pick up her father to live there.
When the four of them gathered together, Xu Shengnan stretched out his hand and said, "I brought a lot of things. Sister, I'll help you get one."
"Thank you, Sister Shengnan." Ji Xing was polite and handed one of them to her.
Her hand sank and she weighed it unexpectedly: "This thing must weigh one hundred and eighty pounds."
"Xiao Ai and I need some tools for our experiments, but I'm worried that Zhongdu won't have them."
"No, there's nothing over there. It's a huge city with a population of close to ten million, more than ten times that of our Jinhui City. You can't imagine it, right?"
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Have you seen Sister Sheng Nan before?"
Xu Shengnan glanced at him, then changed the subject and said, "But you do have some strength now. It wasn't too strenuous to lift it just now."
"I haven't relaxed my training in the past two years. I have persisted in everything you taught me, Sister Shengnan. That means I haven't passed the assessment, otherwise I might be able to get a lower-level hunter certificate." Ji Xing said.
"Pull him down. You have no practical skills at all. Hong Hong can beat you up with two punches." Xu Shengnan laughed and shook his head: "I taught you those things so that you can run faster when you encounter a demon. You must be careful Don't... be harmful. You have enough brains to do anything stupid. It's unnecessary for me to remind you. Let's go. Don't keep Lao Luo and Yanshen Lie waiting. "
She waved to call for the carriage, and Honghong beside her whispered: "How could I hit Senior Li He..."
"For example, let's use an analogy. Why do you still call this girl Senior Li He? I told you that he is not a hunter. There is no need to call him like that. Just call him brother." Xu Shengnan replied.
"Hee...I'm used to it."
"Hehe, where did you learn it? Yin and Yang weird tune."
"Learned it from Sister Xiaoai..."
The two were chatting and laughing, and Ji Xing and Xiao Ai also looked at each other and smiled. There is a 15-year age difference between these two, and they get along like sisters and mother and daughter, which is quite interesting.
Soon, the four of them got on a spacious carriage and headed to the west gate of Jinhui City.
When they arrived, Luo Sheng, president of the Jinhui City Hunter Guild, and Shen Lie Yanqiu were already waiting there.
"Old Li." Luo Sheng shook his head and stepped forward to pat Ji Xing's shoulder. "Although I knew that with your scientific research talents, Jinhuicheng couldn't keep you, I didn't expect that you would leave with Shengnan. Really, I would have known earlier. I won’t report Katsuo’s promotion to the main guild, and now I’m the only one left.”
"Okay, Lao Luo, you've said this to me twice, and you're saying it to Li He too?" Xu Shengnan laughed loudly, "Don't be a sissy, it's not a farewell, you've disliked me a lot in the past two years!"
Luo Sheng glanced at her, "I dislike you now too! Hahaha... Forget it, let's keep in touch by writing letters when we get to Zhongdu. It would be even better if you could invent a long-distance intercom, Li He, so we can keep in touch at any time."
Ji Xing smiled, "I'll try my best."
"Well, and Xiao Ai, don't blame me for always asking Li He to drink in the past two years, it's just my hobby." Luo Sheng turned his head and said.
"If I complained, I wouldn't let him go." Xiao Ai smiled, "Goodbye, President Luo."
"Hahaha, Li He, your status at home doesn't seem to be very good..." Luo Sheng laughed, "Come on, come on, and Hong Hong, let's take a group photo before we leave! Yan Shen Lie too!"
The few of them paused, Ji Xing and Xu Shengnan looked at each other, their expressions a little strange.
Luo Sheng was surprised: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Xu Shengnan put the luggage on the ground and patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder: "Old Luo, taking a group photo is not auspicious."
She took out a photo from her pocket: "I found it when I was packing."
Luo Sheng took it and saw that there were four people in the photo, Ji Xing, Xu Shengnan, Yan Qiu, and Hong Hong.
Judging from Hong Hong's height, the photo was obviously two or three years old, and there seemed to be a fifth person in it, but it was cut out with scissors.
"This is the first time that the former God Hunter came to Jinhui City to take pictures two and a half years ago." Xu Shengnan said: "The one who was scratched out is Gong Linghui, Lao Gong."
"Oh, I know, the former president of the Jinhui City Hunter Guild." Luo Sheng suddenly realized: "The one who was replaced by the big demon to attack Li He... Well, it is indeed a bit unlucky to look at it this way."
Xu Shengnan smiled: "That's just what I said. Do you believe this, Lao Luo? To say something more unlucky, aren't the four of us still fine?"
"You also know it's unlucky!" Luo Sheng heard the words and said disdainfully: "Puuu! Safe and sound, smooth and smooth, we will all be safe."
Yan Qiu smiled, his voice soft: "There is really no need to believe in this kind of thing, President Luo. Come on, let's take a photo."
Just like more than two years ago, he, who was only 1.6 meters tall, stood in the front, holding Honghong who was about to catch up with him, and Xu Shengnan, who was already two meters tall, was in the middle of the back, Luo Sheng stood on his right, and Ji Xing stood on his left with Xiao Ai. The camera faithfully recorded this scene. Luo Sheng said, "I'll send it to you after it's developed."
A few greetings and a few goodbyes.
Agree to have a drink when we meet again.
Yan Qiu whistled.
His giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters circled and flew over. After landing, a group of five people boarded the eagle. With the luggage, it was just enough for the eagle.
A gentle spiritual power expanded, forming an invisible shield that enveloped the giant eagle. The five people said goodbye to Luo Sheng again, and the giant eagle took off.
Jinhui City, where they had lived for more than two years, quickly became smaller and farther away, and they headed straight for Zhongdu.
"If Li He and Xiao Ai hadn't been with me, I would probably be really sad." Xu Shengnan, who grew up in Jinhui City since childhood, sighed rarely.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "Don't be like this, Sister Shengnan, we just left, Lao Luo will be sad, and Uncle Xu will be sad too."
"Hahaha..." Xu Shengnan laughed: "My dad urges me to get married all day long, and he's tired of me for a long time. He didn't come to see me off today."
She touched the giant eagle under her body and said, "By the way, Yan Shen Hunter's mount is really convenient. Li He, your airship is still slow."
This spiritual eagle, which is equivalent to the level of a thousand-numbered hunter, is very fast, and should be more than 300 kilometers per hour. If it weren't for Yan Qiu's spiritual power protection, Xiao Ai and Hong Hong couldn't ride it.
Yan Qiu turned around and said, "Even if there is Zong Zong, Zhongdu and Jinhui City are still far apart. I didn't receive any other tasks on this return trip. If we fly in a straight line, including the rest time, it will take us about five days to reach Zhongdu."
"Is it called Zong Zong?" Hong Hong asked.
Ji Xing calculated the distance.
300 kilometers per hour, based on 12 hours of flying per day, there are also 3,600 kilometers, and five days, that is 18,000 kilometers.
This is only the distance between Jinhui City and Zhongdu. Counting the uninhabited wilderness and vast ocean, the Demon Continent is much larger than the Earth!
Gravity, calendar, etc. are exactly the same as the Earth, which is a bit strange.
He and Xiaoai looked at each other and understood each other's meaning tacitly, but there was no condition to check this matter for the time being, so they quickly ignored it and joined Xu Shengnan in asking Yanqiu.
Four questions and one answer, and they gradually had a simple outline of Zhongdu in their minds.
…
Time passed, the sun rose and set.
In a blink of an eye, they crossed mountains and cities and completed a four-day voyage. On the morning of the fifth day, everything was packed up, and the spirit eagle had enough rest. They took off again for the final voyage and were expected to arrive in Zhongdu tonight.
"Ha~ We are finally here." The initial excitement has turned into a monotonous tiredness. Xu Shengnan is a little impatient, and Honghong is even more so.
Ji Xing was in no mood to respond. It was not fatigue, but since he got up this morning, a faint sense of something wrong has lingered in his heart.
Ordinary people may not take premonitions seriously, but he is a strong man who has mastered the power of time and gained an instinctive sense of smell in a one-person world.
Something may happen!
Is it because we are about to arrive in Zhongdu? In one of the largest cities in mankind, there is a way to identify monsters, and I will be detected?
Or say something else...
Pretending to be drowsy, he lowered his head and listened with all his heart. When the premonition became stronger and stronger, he made a judgment in his heart.
This is still far from Zhongdu.
Doesn't it seem like the arrival was not so smooth?
Pretending to be drowsy, he nodded his head, murmured, and put his arms around Xiao Ai's shoulders: "We're almost there. I was a little excited last night and didn't sleep well. You, too, Xiao Ai, take a nap in my arms." "
Xiaoai's eyes fluctuated slightly, she responded softly, and was taken into Ji Xing's arms.
The couple's actions made Xu Shengnan gasp in surprise: "You two... you have a child here!"
Honghong smiled: "Hehe..."
"You're laughing." Xu Shengnan locked his strong forearms with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters and locked the little girl into his arms, "You should also take a nap!"
The little girl's face was distorted by the squeeze of her pectoralis major muscles, and she made a helpless expression towards Ji Xing.
Yan Qiu, who was in front of him, turned around with a smile and looked at the two couples. He also missed his family a little. In a flash, he had been traveling for almost two months.
Just as his thoughts dispersed for a moment, his expression suddenly changed and he looked shocked.
"careful!"
The shouting blurted out, but Xu Shengnan didn't realize what was going on. He only subconsciously hugged Honghong tighter, and then felt a violent shock beneath his body, and Lingying let out a shrill scream!
Phew——! !
She hugged Honghong and flew away, while the spiritual eagle that was supposed to carry them circled and fell!
what happened? This is a thousand meters high in the sky!
She hurriedly searched and saw Li He not far away holding Xiao Ai tightly in his arms and falling with his eyes closed just like she and Hong Hong did.
Save them, they will fall to death!
Her spiritual power, which was still not huge in total, spurted out, trying to give herself a push, but at this moment, she suddenly felt her body light again.
"Hu~ along the divine hunt..."
Not far away, Yanqiu stretched out his hands, and the huge and gentle spiritual power lifted Lingying and the four of them, leading them to fall slowly.
"Is there a demon attack?!" she asked.
Yan Qiu nodded solemnly, looked at the Spirit Eagle Brown Brown, and saw a penetrating wound and bright red blood on its left wing.
‘I dodged, but the attack was too fast, and my wings were injured... I don’t blame Brown Brown, even I almost didn’t react. Is it the power of speed, or... the demon god? ! ’
puff--
The five people and one eagle landed smoothly, and the spirit eagle let out a slight mournful cry. Xu Shengnan immediately came to Ji Xing and Xiao Ai with Hong Hong in his arms.
"Is everything okay! Li He, Xiao Ai!"
"We're fine, Sister Shengnan." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "You take care of Honghong first."
But something might happen next!
The attack just now, if he hadn't made it covertly, the eagle would have been gone. Strength, speed, and Yanqiu are not on the same level! In my perception, that guy is probably much stronger than Yanqiu!
And falling in front, Yan Qiu immediately looked for the direction of the attack.
This place is a wilderness highland with yellow slopes. There are not many trees around, so the view is clear.
His sight easily spanned several hundred meters and saw an old man sitting on a large rock. He has gray hair and a tall build. He looks like an ordinary person, about seventy years old. He has deep nasolabial wrinkles on his face and is dignified and solemn.
Like a veteran cadre.
Yanqiu's pupils suddenly trembled, and his voice became hoarse: "It's actually you... Teacher Kong..."
"...Teacher?!" The tall Xu Shengnan also just caught that figure.
"Ah..." Yan Qiu said with difficulty: "Teacher Kong Yangzheng was the principal of the Zhongdu Hunter Guild School and guided me in my practice after I became a numbered hunter.
19 years ago, he died in an accident... "
"Death? It was indeed a demon..."
Xu Shengnan clenched his fists.
Yanqiu stretched out his hand to stop them: "No! Xu Shengnan, take Li He and the others to escape immediately! Teacher Kong Yangzheng was once an extremely powerful divine hunter!"
"Sacred Hunter Number...004."
