Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 44 Disposal
It is said to be a small mountain city, but in the eyes of Jiang Tian, ​​who has seen a lot of ancient buildings and restored pictures of the city, it is nothing more than an earthen enclosure slightly larger than the bandits' cottage.The crenels of branches and stones on the rammed earth walls called dry bases are the most basic fortifications.

It's just that these incomplete wall stacks are full of smoke and traces of hacking and arrows, fragments of broken swords everywhere, large splatters of blood, and shriveled flesh and blood. Stains left behind.It is showing the tragic battle that happened not long ago.

And in the inner position beyond the low wall, there are all kinds of hideous human heads stuck on poles in a vented and deterrent style, human bodies that have been disemboweled or even dismembered, and naked people stuck upside down on branches. Femininity.They all represent the end of the people who stick to the last moment and what happens after death.

This shocking scene also seemed to have a slight sense of detachment and indifference to Jiang Tian for this mission, which constituted a considerable physical and mental shock.Is this the cruelty of the ancient extrajudicial land, and although a woman in it may not die immediately, it is obvious that the result of subsequent encounters is better than dying immediately.

Although on the African continent, it is not uncommon to see all kinds of ugliness and tragedies brought by wars to the world, or selective photos of partial massacres that have never appeared in Western mainstream media; This scene, however, went even further and once again broke through the bottom line that a modern human being can accept.

I don't know how long it took, but the little round face who had been depressed for a while slowly calmed down, but couldn't help but said:

"Old Ancestor, can you restrain me..."

"Concentrate, what are you doing to restrain yourself? It's a waste of time, and you still leave clues for those who want to track them down? Isn't it good to continue to escape the danger alive?"

Jiang Tian sighed:
"It's Man'er who thinks wrong, don't blame the ancestor."

Xiaoyuan's face was sad again and said:

"However, I can do something for them, which is better than rebirth..."

Jiang Tian then said again: Because, in the next moment, a new reminder appeared in his field of vision: "Task branch: comfort the soul, (yes/no)"

At least for Jiang Tian, ​​according to what he heard and seen when he poured water on the Internet, it is basically no problem to sing a few lines of "Bharajadi", "Great Compassion Mantra" and other brainwashing melodies on the street; She came to a section of "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss".

Then, when he had barely concocted all of this, Jiang Tian didn't know if it was some kind of psychological illusion; Xiaoyuan's originally very gray and pale face, as well as his dim and dusty eyes, all resembled It seems to have become brighter and more spiritual;
This also made Jiang Tian sigh secretly: Is this the psychological comfort effect brought about by traditional religious rituals that pretend to be gods and ghosts?However, looking at the reminder that there was no sign of completion in the field of vision, Jiang Tian couldn't help but sighed helplessly again;

The next moment, he suddenly opened his arms, hugged the little round face that was a bit stunned and stiff, and said softly:
"Having encountered so many things, it's not easy to persevere until now. If you want to cry, just cry out. There's no need to hide it in your heart. No one can see it here. I won't blame you either..."

Then, as if some kind of invisible switch was turned on, with the feeling of getting wet on the chest, from silent whimpering to whimpering like a cat, to howling that gradually became more intense.And Jiang Tian finally saw the display in his vision:
"Task branch: Consolation (completed), assist mode unlocking..." prompt.

"Wait, someone is here again..."

Because within Jiang Tian's field of vision, groups of soldiers with similar dress styles appeared again.Immediately, he let go of the bow and arrow in his hand, took advantage of the situation and hugged the little round face, placed it on a branch of a dense tree, and whispered:

"Hurry up and hide it, close your eyes no matter what happens, wait for me to make a sound before opening them..."

After an unknown amount of time, when she slowly opened her eyes again, the noises from the wind seemed to disappear all of a sudden; only the chirping of insects that silenced the birds and beasts remained.

At the next moment when she was looking for something as expected, a vaguely reddish silhouette of a human figure with an arrow stuck in it slowly appeared in front of her, followed by the thick blood that could not be melted away. taste:

"I've said it all, why don't you open your eyes without me making a sound?"

"Old Ancestor...you? What's wrong..."

The little round face couldn't help trembling and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just an incarnation at the moment; but it's not an easy task to find all the pursuers in this mountain..."

Jiang Tian, ​​who threw off the last trace of blood with the newly blurred body, also sighed slightly:
"However, two of them ran away, and we have to move quickly."

Because, after killing and chasing one after another, he actually felt obvious fatigue.Not just physically but also mentally.

Obviously, even under the switch between reality and reality, there are also normal body reactions and weakened pain sensations, as well as the upper limit of potential physical fitness, endurance and spirit.

After all, these soldiers who are the opponents are obviously living humans; they are not the NPCs in the game who are attacked and do not know how to escape, dodge and cooperate.

Even if it is the determination and bravery to splash your blood all over your body under the stubborn resistance that cannot be seen, or under the dying struggle, there is still something.

Therefore, in a short period of time, it took Jiang Tian a lot of sequential planning and effort to intercept and kill nearly [-] enemies in one go without leaving any escapees alive, and it was barely realized.

As a result, the collection of free energy has increased to 0.21 units, and at the same time, the proficiency of the two weapons, including the bow and dagger, has also increased by a tiny bit.

But what made him a little puzzled was that when killing these unknown soldiers, the energy collected was also slightly different, and he didn't even get anything at all?
On the other hand, it was when he wanted to deliberately keep a captive with subdued hands and feet for subsequent interrogation;
However, he found that apart from the little round face, no one could see him, and he couldn't hear what he said; instead, he was horrified and frightened to death.

Next, clean the battlefield, collect materials, and upgrade equipment; replace the broken short knives with a pair of sharp dagger-shaped swords, and insert a few spare daggers by the legs;

A gourd full of wine was hung on the loincloth, and a large bag of broken dry biscuits, preserved salt and dried prunes hung on the chest.Carrying the small round face that is so light that it is almost weightless.

However, when he walked out of the mountain for a certain distance along the traces of his escape, he couldn't help but let out a heck, and had an unexpected joy.Because he saw a gray-haired dog hanging from the southeast branch.

Yes, that is, the big dog that patrolled the mountains I encountered before.When I saw it again, it ran away quickly, but unfortunately the rope was entangled and hung on the branch, it seemed that in the midst of jumping and struggling, it entangled itself and strangled itself to death on the spot;
It can be harvested as soon as it is seen, and there is a pile of fresh ingredients that have just expired.As a result, as soon as the rope was untied, his legs were upturned and he didn't twitch or twitch much. His eyes were protruding and his tongue was sticking out, and he lived again on the spot.

And after the death, this gray-haired dog, like a Buddhist eminent monk, didn't need Jiang Tian to think too much about whether to make another knife, bloodletting and cutting away a piece;
Just like the conditioned reflex of being full of desire to survive, he lay on all fours on the ground without hesitation, revealing his furry belly that allows others to get what they want, expressing a certain sense of natural submission.

Then he looked directly at Xiaoyuan's face with pitiful eyes, put his wet nose on her body, and sniffed her body flatteringly, which actually made her expression and complexion much brighter under the tickle.

The ghost knows how this thing can observe its own sense of existence, and how it can feel the danger so keenly; obviously when I was in the African grassland, I only touched the big hyena raised by Uncle Hei and the cheetah rescued in the reserve.

So, in the end, Jiang Tian decided to take this big dog on the road.It can be used as a backup ration and a temporary reference for walking, and at the same time, some redundant burdens can also be carried on it.

Well, it’s not that Jiang Tian didn’t experience it personally when he was traveling in Africa. The seemingly magnificent and beautiful wilderness is actually particularly unfriendly to human cubs.

Inadvertently eating unclean food will cause vomiting and diarrhea, and it is easy to catch a cold and have a fever when exposed to rain and wind; and if frightened, it will also cause hysteria, convulsions, and fever;

If the hypothermia continued at night, it would quickly weaken and be fatal; so at this time, this large dog as a potential backup ration came in handy.

At least after simply washing and cleaning, it can replace itself who cannot provide body temperature and heat for heating, and let the little thing have a living warm baby to hug and rest.
