You can evolve by surviving in the Ark

"This junior brother of yours is very powerful."

Sitting on the only bench in the hut, Qiao Liang analyzed and sighed. This dark room with no windows was a bit stuffy, but no one wanted to open the ventilation door at this time - even though everyone knew that it would be opened soon.

"He's been testing things since we met, and now he basically knows the answer he wants."

"Ten pterosaurs, with three people, flew over from Crescent Island to do something. It turned out that two of them were women... I didn't mean that, but at least that's what he looked like, and we were exactly what he thought... There were only three people.”

"After entering the door, those things were deliberately shown to us, oh, so intimidating. He was stimulating you to take action. At that time, he should have been sure to keep you, but it turns out that you really listened to my words and did not take action. He Trying to test my skills again.”

"After all, he also saw that we have guns. If I were a stronger person than you and left Tuo Tuo behind, we could still get out."

"He felt unsure, so he gave us this house, and he also needed time to decorate it. Now as long as we open the door, we should be able to see it. He feels that it is enough to keep us."

The room still smelled of blood and lust. When they entered the room, there was still unknown bodily fluids on the bed and quilt on the side. Qiao Liang pushed Tongtuo to the ground and placed a sleeping bag on Tuotuo for him to lie down on. The woman in the corner had fainted. Out of sympathy, Qiao Liang also poured a bottle of medicinal wine on her body. The rest was unthinkable.

Tuotuo, who had had the iron plate removed from his body and the wound had healed, kept drinking medicinal wine. Li Hongying's face was as dark as water. She was silent. She had not said a word since she entered the room.

"He wasn't like this before."

Li Hongying finally spoke. The sunny and cheerful junior brother in her memory had changed too much from Lu Qian now, which was hard for her to accept.

But she just said this, and the three of them had already made plans for Lu Qian.

There was a brief silence in the hut. Qiao Liang thought for a while and shook his head. In comparison, Di Lunbu and others were really good men and women. Even if they didn't like him, they only bullied and suppressed him according to the rules, but they never beat him, humiliated him, or really wanted to kill him.

But he finally stood up from the bench without saying anything.

"Then...just follow the plan I told you."

After Qiao Liang finished speaking, Tuo Tuo jumped down from the bed. Her wounds had healed, but her face was still pale from the loss of a lot of blood. She originally wanted to put away the sleeping bag underneath her, but after thinking about it, she threw it there in disgust.

Li Hongying also stood up and walked towards the closed thatched door. She stood like this for a while, as if she had made up her mind, and then let out a long breath. She reached out and gently pushed the door open.

Daylight poured in as the crack in the door widened, sweeping away the darkness in the room. The people outside were now fully armed, unlike when they first entered the village, which was not fully equipped. They surrounded the thatched house, and the swords, spears and crossbows they held shone with a metallic luster in the sun, which was slightly dazzling. . And looking through their figures to the rear, the knights riding the terror birds stared at this place with the same vigilance.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Li Hongying was in a daze. She remembered the bandit village that she had killed with one person and one sword. The malice was revealed from the gangster's evil or fierce eyes, soaking in the air and surrounding her, stimulating her five senses.

It was so similar, she could smell the same smell of impending rain in the air.

But she is not alone at this moment, there are partners behind her who need to be protected. Standing in the center of her eyes was Lu Qian, her junior brother who had played with her since childhood, practiced martial arts together, and grew up together.

"Senior sister." When Lu Qian saw her, a bright smile naturally appeared on his face, as if he had just met his sweetheart's ordinary man.

"Stay."

That smile was very familiar to Li Hongying. She had always understood Lu Qian's feelings, but she was unwilling to accept it and was afraid that her junior brother would be sad, so she had been avoiding it for many years... However, Lu Qian now felt more and more strange to her. .

She shook her head, looked at Lu Qian and said, "No, junior brother, I won't stay, and you can't stay here either. You have to come with me, I will take you back."

"Huh?" Lu Qian laughed, "Why should I leave? I am very happy here, senior sister."

"Are you happy that you are scorning human lives?" Li Hongying said in a cold voice, and said with a clang, "If you don't leave, I will break your hands and feet and take you away."

Lu Qian looked at her with a smile, as if to confirm whether she was serious. After watching for a while, he wiped away the exaggerated smile on his face, leaving only a faint smile.

"Senior sister, you really haven't changed..." Lu Qian raised his hand and pulled out his long sword, holding a sword flower in his hand. The bright sword light turned around his body like a dragon.

"That's right, we children of Jianghu... let's speak with our swords!"

The air suddenly became chaotic, and the breeze that had been blowing constantly from the direction of the swamp shattered, leaving only the afterimage of the sword blade reflecting sunlight that stung the retina. Lu Qian's figure blurred for a moment, and the next moment, sparks exploded from the violent collision of metal and burst out in front of Li Hongying. As the two figures intertwined, the sound of swords striking each other became one, like a dragon's roar. .

"Sister, tell me, why do we practice martial arts?"

When Lu Qian spoke, he drew his sword faster and faster, but his speaking speed was neither slow nor slow.

Li Hongying said nothing, and Lu Qian's offensive was continuous and pervasive, like a fierce wind. She saw every move and never retreated, as unmoving as a mountain.

"I was picked up by my master at the age of five and went to the mountains to practice martial arts at the age of six. For ten years, no matter the weather, I worked hard to keep fit, practice swordsmanship, and study hard."

Lu Qian's voice continued to be heard in the fierce sword light.

"Who isn't?" Li Hongying said coldly. In the fierce storm-like sword light, the sword she handed out was as unimpeded as going straight into the eye of the wind. The wind dispersed, because the original intention had suppressed Lu Qian's sword. With a wave of Li Hongying's hand, the original blade of the sword wiped Lu Qian's sword spine towards his right hand.

"Disciple of the Dian Cang Sect, you have not been diligent in studying and training since childhood. You are talented and intelligent, and your martial arts skills have made rapid progress, and you have stood out. Your master even hopes that you can sit on the position of leader in the future..."

"The position of leader?!"

Lu Qian's voice rose a little higher, as if he heard some funny joke. He lowered his right hand and passed the sword blade that Li Hongying was wiping. The long sword spinning in the air was held behind his left hand before Li Hongying flew it away, and he thrust the sword towards Li Hongying's face.

Li Hongying blocked the ball, but it was a false move. Lu Qian's long sword made a false stab, but his figure jumped up high. As his body rotated, the sword blade drew a perfect arc in the air, and with full strength and kinetic energy inertia, it struck Li Hongying head-on with a roar like thunder breaking through the wind.

"The position of leader is of no use!"

Sparks exploded, and Chuan Zhi let out a long mournful cry under this heavy blow. Li Hongying, who was blocking with a horizontal sword, was knocked back half a step, but as she retreated, Lu Qian, who had gained the upper hand, landed on the ground and rushed forward. He took three steps forward, and Li Hongying took three steps back amid the confusing shadow of the sword.

"Senior sister, I thought that if I study martial arts hard, I can get everything I want..." Lu Qian's voice continued to penetrate bit by bit from his violent offensive.

"Wealth, love, status... As long as I study hard, these things will come to me naturally, like the martial arts hall where I practice my studies every day, the dining hall in the morning, noon and evening, and the bedroom in the sect... Whenever I want, there will be a place for me.”

"But no, senior sister..."

Behind them were Qiao Liang and Tuo Tuo who had already left the house. Li Hongying had no choice but to retreat, so she gritted her teeth and fought with Lu Qian before regaining her balance.

"What did the brothers who came down the mountain from Yicheng do? They went to look after people's homes and homes, went to escort offices to escort goods, were looked down upon by others, and even nodded and bowed to the powerful. People in the world know that our Diancang sect is aloof, but those people in the city below the mountain , saying that we are vulgar warriors, saying that we use force to disrupt the ban... They look down on us."

"Why, I am a vulgar martial artist who practices martial arts. They shake their heads in a comfortable school, and they are literati. Oh, everything is inferior, only reading is good? Why! Studying is good!!!"

"I couldn't beat you back then, so you looked down on me; I beat junior sister Xuan'er, but she also looked down on me. The weak scholar she married couldn't beat me even if a hundred of them came. But the carriage he rode in, The robe he is wearing... Even if I become the best in the world in martial arts... I still can't afford it!"

"Do you know how much money the master needs to spend every year to maintain relations with the government? When he was young, the master was also a genius who was famous in martial arts. After he took the position of master, he aged quickly, but his martial arts progress was slow. So, He has a large sect to support, so he has to consider everything for the sect..."

Li Hongying refused to retreat, but Lu Qian got closer and closer. The distance between the two shortened, and the collision between the swords became more intense. Until they got close to each other, their fists and feet collided mercilessly.

"I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back with you. So what if I go back, I'm just a dog!"

Lu Qian punched him, but Li Hongying held him back. She saw an unfamiliar fire burning in Lu Qian's eyes.

"No one can look down on me. Those weak scholars must look up to me and fear me, haha... Studying is high, keep studying! I don't have money, and everyone doesn't use it; I can't wear a robe, so I just Just let them not be able to wear robes! Senior sister, here, I can control their destiny, I can play with women more beautiful than you, I can do whatever I want... I am the only one who has good habits here. The meaning of martial arts!”

When Li Hongying kicked out, his left hand had already accumulated strength. Lu Qian avoided the kick and punched back directly. The two fists smashed together. Lu Qian took half a step back, and Li Hongying, who also took half a step back, felt Qiao Liang's hand holding her back.

"Are you okay?" Qiao Liang asked with concern. He did not expect to reach this situation. Li Hongying shook her head, but still stared straight ahead.

"Sister, you can't beat me like this, and you can't take me away."

Lu Qian's cheerful smile returned to his face.

Li Hongying gritted her teeth, and this time she took the initiative to launch a strong attack. The original intention sword came out like a dragon, with a cold glow, and it hovered in front of Lu Qian's throat in an instant.

Lu Qian, on the other hand, opened his hands and made no resistance at all.

"Senior sister, you didn't want to kill me from the beginning. Ha, you just wanted to force me with your sword...How could you beat me like this?! Ha, what next, what can you do next?"

Lu Qian even took a step forward, but his original intention was shrunk because of Li Hongying's subconscious. After reacting, Li Hongying was furious. She turned her sword and slashed at his limbs. Lu Qian, who had expected it, avoided it and jumped to the rear.

Taking Lu Qian hostage was one of their plans. Lu Qian seems to have some say in this tribe. If they can capture him, they may be able to escape intact. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Hongying to protect the two of them and break through the Horror Bird's obstruction.

But now, Lu Qian's martial arts advancement has far exceeded expectations, and this plan has failed.

"Stay, senior sister." Lu Qian said with a smile, "If you want to leave, I will... break your hands and feet and keep you!"

Behind him, those people with the same powerful aura crossed his body and surrounded him.

The smile on Lu Qian's face was overflowing, cheerful and full of sunshine.
