The boy stared at Zuo Zhicheng with a burning gaze. Suddenly, he took out a small package from his chest and placed it on the ground in front of Zuo Zhicheng.
There was a clanking sound in the package. It seemed to be a lot of money.
"It's a total of 102 coins. All of my money is here." The boy stared at Zuo Zhicheng. "I want to learn martial arts from you."
"Learn martial arts?" Zuo Zhicheng glanced at him. There was no trace of Xiantian Qi in his body. Zuo Zhicheng said coldly, "The idiot who saved you today is my subordinate. With his talent, even if he practiced martial arts for another ten years, he would only be a second-rate or third-rate martial artist.
With your talent, even if you practiced for another hundred years, you wouldn't be able to compete with him in a month. "
Zuo Zhicheng's words were like a stab to the boy's self-esteem. His face turned red. He said in disbelief, "I don't believe it. How can I be inferior to him? You're lying! "
Zuo Zhicheng said emotionlessly, "Why would I lie to you? But on account of your sincerity, I can show you your other aptitudes. Come here. "
As Zuo Zhicheng said this, the boy's mind suddenly went into a trance. Zuo Zhicheng had used the power of mind to confuse his mind.
By the time he came back to his senses, he was already standing in front of Zuo Zhicheng. Zuo Zhicheng had just pulled his hand back.
Zuo Zhicheng continued, "You don't have Life Cluster, nor Xiantian Qi. You're a born cripple. Don't even think about practicing martial arts."
When the boy heard Zuo Zhicheng's words, he was already drenched in cold sweat. He was in a daze. Zuo Zhicheng's palm gently patted his body, and he flew out of the room. He even threw the bag of money into the boy's arms.
At first, Zuo Zhicheng thought that the boy had lost all hope. However, half an hour later, he found the boy kneeling outside the door.
The boy's ego was obviously very strong. Although he knelt down, his face was red and his body was trembling. It was obvious that he was very emotional.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you that you can't cultivate? You can leave now. "
But the boy still knelt there and said in a low voice, "You taught me how to cultivate. I will definitely repay you in the future."
"Repay?" Zuo Zhicheng's tone turned cold. "How can a cripple like you repay me? I'd rather teach a pig than you. "
The boy's face turned red again, but he still didn't move.
"If kneeling is useful, what's the use of martial arts and Taoist techniques?" Zuo Zhicheng's tone grew colder. "If you want to kneel, then continue kneeling."
The boy knelt down just like that. His mind was filled with the image of Zuo Zhicheng's invincible performance in the guest battle. It seemed that he was certain that Zuo Zhicheng was powerful and wanted him to teach him martial arts and Taoist techniques.
The next morning, Zuo Zhicheng and Xu Hongfei each rode a horse and led two horses towards the Naruta Mountains. The two of them took turns to ride three horses and traveled quickly along the Gobi Desert and the oasis.
…
Three days later, the sun was shining brightly.
Xu Hongfei looked at the distorted air on the ground and felt that the whole earth was roasted.
He looked back and saw that a few hundred meters away, a small black dot was still slowly approaching them.
"Sir, he's still following us."
Zuo Zhicheng closed his eyes. His body was unusually cold, but his body was warm. He felt as if he wasn't in the desert.
Hearing Xu Hongfei's words, he said coldly, "Let him go."
"Also, you can secretly leave some food for him. I'll let you. But you can only use your own share of water. I won't share it with you. If it's not enough, you'll have to bear with it."
Xu Hongfei hesitated for a while, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Another five days later, the weather became drier and drier, and it became more and more unpredictable. Zuo Zhicheng didn't seem to have changed at all, but the shadow around him seemed to have become thicker. This kind of high-intensity light was the best for him.
Xu Hongfei's mouth was dry, his lips were almost cracked, and his hair was extremely dry. His Life Plexus had absorbed a large amount of special metals. In this kind of desert, the burden was especially heavy. Although his body was strong, he felt that he couldn't take it after two days of travel.
There were still streaks of blood on his clothes. They were left behind by the bandits and the remnants of the Underworld Sect.
Even so, he still looked back and saw a small black shadow slowly moving on the horizon. It was so far away that it was almost impossible to see it with the naked eye.
This guy, he didn't have enough money to begin with, and now he's killed the donkey. If this goes on, he won't be able to keep up with our speed.
But to give a portion of his food to the boy was already the limit for Xu Hongfei. He didn't dare to do anything that would burden Zuo Zhicheng, such as splitting a batch of horses or slowing down.
In the end, he could only watch as the small black dot on the horizon moved further and further away from them.
Half an hour later, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly stopped and looked at the desert behind him with interest. He said calmly, "Wait for me here."
He took a step forward and appeared more than a hundred meters away. Then, he took a few more steps and disappeared from Xu Hongfei's sight.
After a few breaths of time, a boy appeared in front of Zuo Zhicheng. The boy had already fainted on the rocky beach. His lips were full of dry cracks, and his hands, feet, and back were all severely sunburned. His consciousness was on the verge of death, and he looked like a dried corpse.
Through infrared vision, the boy's heartbeat seemed to be dropping.
It was obvious that the boy's body had reached its limit. To do such a thing at his age, it could be said that his last few days were completely dependent on his spirit. In a sense, it was already a miracle that he could make it this far.
Even Zuo Zhicheng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this scene. He had only seen such stubbornness and perseverance in some fanatics.
Zuo Zhicheng thought about it for a moment. In the end, he extended a finger to the side of the man's mouth and exerted a little force. A drop of green blood was forced out and slowly flowed into the man's mouth.
His spirit blood contained a large amount of energy, water, and various nutrients. Even a drop of it was a great tonic for ordinary people.
…
When the boy woke up, the sky was already covered by the stars. Beside him, Xu Hongfei was cooking something in an iron pot. When he saw that the boy had woken up, he said excitedly, "You're awake? It was Milord who saved you. You almost died. "
"I was saved?" The boy looked up and saw Zuo Zhicheng sitting cross-legged on a rock, staring at the starry sky.
The boy ate a few mouthfuls of dry food under Xu Hongfei's care. Then, he looked at Zuo Zhicheng and asked, "You … why did you save me?"
"Some people are born with everything they want. They can get what ordinary people can't get even if they work hard for their whole lives." Zuo Zhicheng said softly, "I used to hate people like that. I killed them like pigs."
"Some people are born with nothing. No matter what they want, even if it's a mouthful of rice or a mouthful of vegetables, they have to fight for it with their lives. In the end, no one cares if they die on the street. To them, being alive is the greatest luxury. I used to be one of them. "
"You are one of them too."
Zuo Zhicheng turned around and looked at him. There seemed to be evil in his eyes. "You want to fight for your life, right? I'll give you a chance.
From now on, follow us. If you're still alive when I leave the Northern Wilderness, I'll teach you. Then, I'll teach you something.
How to kill the first kind of people and take everything from them. "
