Altar of Infinity

Grasping the broad ax is afraid of the weakness of tao wood, Xie Ji smashes the sky and covers the ground with the ax and it's a good meal.

During the period, the broad ax also wanted to fight back, but Xie Ji was top-notch in both dodging and attacking, and did not give the broad ax a chance to exploit loopholes.

The situation has been reversed dramatically. Just now, Xie Ji was chasing and killing Xie Ji with the ax full of towers, but now Xie Ji is chasing the ax and hammering the ax with a wooden stick!

He and Jiang Jichu pushed the ax to the corner all the way, and the two axes that were used to block people and kill Buddhas a few minutes ago huddled together, as if they were pitiful to the little one who was abandoned.

Xie Ji's last stick poked the bodies of the two axes that overlapped up and down, and pressed them against the ground.

And the eagle statue on the top of the tower was finally fished out from under the cabinet, Ran Yuanfei shouted to them: "Brother Xie! Put it back!"

Xie Ji had no choice but to rely on Ran Yuanfei and the others, he would have died long ago.

The ax that was double-subdued by the upstairs and downstairs even disappeared, and Xie Ji bent down to pick up the ax.

Still quite heavy.

He looked around, a little puzzled: "Where did this thing come from?"

The first floor of the tower can be seen at a glance. The fourteen guest rooms on the second, third, and third floors are all occupied. If they were to find out, they would have discovered it a long time ago.

Since it was a bit silly to climb the stairs with two axes, Xie Ji shared one with Jiang Jichu, and found a bag to put a lot of sawdust left over from the cutting sticks, and the two walked to the top of the tower side by side.

Since the broad ax is afraid of tao wood, it is most suitable to be placed on the tao wood low table on the top floor.

Seeing that they were unscathed and holding axes in their hands, the others were surprised and happy, and ran to meet them from the top floor one after another.

"Thank you! You were so handsome just now!"

"Brother Xie, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been split in half by this broken axe!"

"This little brother is so brave!"

Jiang Jichu still had no expression on his face, just walked through the crowd silently and put the ax on the tao wooden low table.

Xie Ji dealt with several people politely, put the ax he was holding away, poured sawdust from the bag, and spread them evenly on the two axes.

Xiao Sun, who accidentally dropped the statue into the bottom of the cabinet, apologized to Xie Ji: "I'm sorry, brother Xie, but something really hit me just now!"

Xie Ji didn't think Xiao Sun was lying.

The ghost in the high tower can hardly even show a shadow, and it is normal to bump into Xiao Sun secretly.

Xie Ji: "Tao wood has a restraining effect on murderers and broad axes. I suggest that everyone cut a few more pieces of wood. It is best to hold them at night when sleeping, so as to defend yourself."

Everyone thought it was reasonable, so they stopped wandering around, but went to the grocery store to find tao wood, and discussed how the leftover wood could be made into knives and daggers, which were convenient to carry.

The surrounding was clean again, Xie Ji said to Jiang Jichu: "Let's go and cut two too."

Jiang Jichu thought for a while: "I'll go cut the wood myself, you go to Wu Kang."

Xie Ji: "You want him to find books."

Jiang Jichu: "Yes."

Xie Ji and Jiang Jichu have gone through two checkpoints. Although he still doesn't know Jiang Jichu's background, he has a certain understanding of this person's behavior and style.

In this level, Jiang Jichu was too active.

Obviously he doesn't like to talk to others, and he would avoid them when there are many people. He actually made a deal with them in the hall in the morning, and in return for cutting out the rough tao wood, let others help them polish it.

Now they take the initiative to act separately.

Xie Ji: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Jichu didn't understand: "What's wrong?"

Xie Ji: "Since entering this level, you seem to be in a hurry."

Jiang Jichu was silent for a while, then turned to look at the only window on the seventh floor.

On the emerald green glass was a continuous flow of water, which cut off half of the already not bright sunlight, and the chill squeezed into the room through the cracks in the window, making his lips a little lighter than usual.

After a long while, Jiang Jichu said in a low voice: "Maybe I hate rain. Rain in the altar is always unlucky."

Xie Ji: "Niujia Village also loves rain."

Jiang Jichu: "I was injured too badly at that time, how could I care about the rain?"

Xie Ji: "That's all?"

Jiang Jichu asked back: "What else could it be?"

In other words, anyone with a little discernment would not pursue the question even if they didn't believe Jiang Jichu's words.

But Xie Ji pulled him back the moment Jiang Jichu was about to leave, Jiang Jichu instinctively struggled to turn around, and hit his back on the closed door with a "slap".

Xie Ji took half a step back and pulled out a distance not too far to reduce the feeling of oppression. He stood with his arms folded: "Jiang Jichu, in your eyes, what is our relationship now."

Under Xie Ji's gaze, Jiang Jichu asked uncertainly: "Unfortunately forced to be a teammate of the same team member?"

Xie Ji was able to guess Jiang Jichu's answer, but he was still choked by the other party's language organization. Fortunately, Mr. Xie's psychological quality has always been strong: "It's just a forced teammate. Why are you willing to sacrifice your life to save me when Zhang Ming wants to kill me?" I?"

He asked Jiang Jichu this question, and at that time Jiang Jichu said it was a subconscious reaction.

People will subconsciously extend a helping hand when they see strangers in danger, but this instinct is mostly limited to the premise of their own safety.

If a stranger crosses the road and is about to be hit by a car, you might just grab him back.

But what if you know that when you get it back, you will have inertia and throw yourself into the range of a car accident?

What's more, it was a very short process, and most people couldn't react.

Even if you can react, there is no time to think about it with kindness. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

If you are walking on a crowded street and a murderer suddenly kills someone with a knife, the most brave person is to push the murderer away instead of blocking the knife for a stranger.

Your emotions and your reason, even your instincts, prevent you from dying for a stranger.

He never believed Jiang Jichu's "subconscious" explanation, but at that time Jiang Jichu had just been injured, so he couldn't ask the bottom line on the spot.

Now that I have time, the timing is just right, and no one else is present, so I just happened to ask clearly.

Xie Ji thought that Jiang Jichu would change the subject as before, or make up vague explanations.

But Jiang Jichu didn't think for long, and asked instead: "Xie Ji, when you ask me this question, what kind of answer do you assume I will give you?"

Jiang Jichu was a few centimeters shorter than him, and had to raise his eyes a little when meeting his gaze.

Looking up at this little angle, Xie Jipin showed an undisguised anomaly.

Jiang Jichu has never been talkative, only when he asks questions about levels and altars, he will say a few more words, just like an encyclopedia that will only display the content when he actively clicks on the query, his temperament is extremely dull, just like the long knife in his hand, very Necessary will not come out of the sheath.

Now there is a hint of aggression mixed into the words, and the eyes are sharp.

Without waiting for Xie Ji to answer, Jiang Jichu said again.

"Because I know you are tone deaf and have no sense of taste, you suspect that I have your friends around me.

"Then why do you think I'm willing to risk my life to save you?

"Let me ask another question, who would you block the knife for?"

Xie Ji did not hesitate: "Family."

His parents are harmonious and treat him very well, and he is also very close to his younger siblings. When the family is threatened, the family affection will surpass the instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Because of this, he couldn't figure out why Jiang Jichu saved him.

Jiang Jichu continued: "Both my parents are dead, only my brother is willing to treat me well, but because of the altar...for me, the only meaning of life is to avenge him."

Xie Ji was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"

After a while, Jiang Jichu's eyelashes twitched: "Because the seventh floor has huge restrictions on me."

Xie Ji was quick to discover the question in the words: "Is it aimed at the number of people, or is it aimed at you personally?"

Jiang Jichu: "I personally."

Those days and nights of struggling to survive in the altar level, the groans of those close to them when they were dying, the eyes of hatred, ridicule, and disgust in the endless darkness.

His teammates left him one by one, and he was the only one left with his hands covered in the blood of his teammates hanging down, walking alone in this sinful underworld, unable to live, let alone die.

Jiang Ji looked at Xie Ji fixedly.

"The binding of the book of life and death caused by the novice level is indeed an accident, but in the process of getting along, I am sure that you are a very good candidate.

"Many people will choose to live on the altar because of fear and the short-term comfort of the main city, but you are different, Xie Ji, apart from your outstanding skills and mind, I believe you will not be afraid of the altar, and you will leave regardless of any difficulties and obstacles.

"The seventh floor is very special. I can provide you with any help I can provide, as long as you can pass the seventh floor. And the process of you passing the seventh floor is the process of my revenge.

"Xie Ji, you are a businessman. You should understand that our relationship will be more stable when our goals are highly consistent. You don't have to worry about my betrayal and retreat. All my actions are beneficial to you.

"For you, you only earn but not lose."

Xie Ji's heart sank.

Jiang Jichu's voice was steady, and he analyzed the pros and cons almost indifferently, putting himself in a position where he could be traded and sacrificed at any time, as long as he could achieve his goal, he would do whatever it takes.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Jichu seemed to be cultivating, because the seventh floor would restrict him, and he couldn't solve the troubles of the seventh floor, so he pinned his hopes on him and used his hands to avenge him.

On this basis, he has gained an altar encyclopedia plus high-level teammates for nothing.

But he has an indescribable helplessness.

Xie Ji: "I thought we had lived and died together for so long, we were more or less friends."

It is said that people with a natural smile on their lips are mostly affectionate, but Xie Jili is not so affectionate. When he deliberately restrains his momentum, he will only make people feel close and convincing.

At this moment, he was still smiling slightly, but the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, without blame or disappointment, he just looked at Jiang Jichu quietly.

With that look, Jiang Jichu's heart seemed to be tightly clenched by an invisible big hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He unconsciously gripped the long knife even tighter with his knuckles, and the pattern sank deeply into the flesh.

Xie Ji didn't miss Jiang Jichu's small movements. When Jiang Jichu moved his upper lip and was about to speak, he suddenly pretended to understand and interrupted: "You despise me?"

Jiang Jichu immediately retorted: "I didn't!"

Xie Ji turned around and leaned himself slightly against the door panel. Matching his expression, the action of leaning against the door panel was more like throwing himself over in a self-defeating manner: "I understand, you have outstanding skills and appearance, and your manner of speaking is not bad. Qian's is also a college student from a well-known university, he is in full bloom, even if he enters the altar, he can reach the seventh floor at the age of 19, with high-level props next to him, he will be the focus of attention wherever he goes."

He made a "squeak" and continued: "I am seven years older than you. On the outside, I am an ordinary rich second generation. Inside, I don't care about money, and I still have sympathy that you think is childish. You despise me. I'm fine too."

Xie Ji's bitter plan made it clear that Jiang Jichu was a thin-skinned person, so he could be said to be the right medicine.

Jiang Jichu gritted his back molars: "I don't have any, and if you dislike me, you are the one who dislikes me!"

As soon as the words came out of Jiang Jichu's mouth, Jiang Jichu consciously slipped his words, annoyed and wanted to find a place to calm down, but Xie Ji just leaned against the door, blocking the exit tightly.

Xie Ji raised his hand to hold Jiang Jichu's wrist, which was about to pull the door forcefully: "Why do you think I despise you?"

Seeing that he couldn't break free at first, Jiang Ji turned to face him like a warning: "Xie Ji, someone said the same thing to me before, do you know what happened afterwards?"

The lights on the seventh floor were concentrated on the ceiling behind Jiang Jichu, and the light could not be directed directly, so that most of his face was in the shadow, and his eyebrows were pressed down, and his facial features were sharpened.

"I don't know," Xie Ji didn't let go, he looked straight into Jiang Jichu's eyes, only relaxed his shoulders, and adjusted himself to the most gentle state, "Jiang Jichu, I don't know what you went through before, but it's not necessary Put it on me."

he continued.

"I will not betray, nor will I leave you.

"There is still a long way to go in the future, whether it is for our goals or to get along more comfortably on weekdays, you can try to trust me more and tell me no matter what, instead of choosing to carry it yourself. "

Jiang Jichu froze on the spot, not knowing what to do for a moment.

And Xie Ji didn't have to get any answers, he knew that he couldn't push people too hard, so he took the initiative to make way: "Let's go to Wu Kang together first, and then we can cut wood, there is still time."
