When Gu Xueting came to Shanhaiguan several years ago, he saw his white and tender face and thought that this Prince Chen was bored in the capital, so he came to this remote place to have fun.
At that time, Xiao Xiong was dissatisfied with Gu Xueting in every way, and he specifically ordered his subordinates not to take special care of him, but to let him experience the "customs" of the northern border.
So you can imagine the situation of Gu Xueting, who was only ten years old at the time.
But he never complained, and won the respect of those soldiers with his own strength. He and Xiao Xiong became close friends regardless of their age difference.
He stayed at the border for eight years. During these eight years, he started as a small soldier and gradually reached a level comparable to Xiao Xiong, with his prestige even exceeding that of the general.
Xiao Xiong not only did not mind this at all, but was happy to see it happen and taught him many things.
To Gu Xueting, Xiao Xiong is both a teacher and a friend.
When he left the border a few years ago, Xiao Xiong was quite regretful. He patted his shoulder and said, "I originally thought that I would unload the burden on my shoulders and hand it over to you in two years, but I didn't expect you to leave so suddenly. I don't know if we can meet again in this lifetime."
Gu Xueting said at the time: "Yes. I will come back after I have dealt with the matter."
He has already regarded this place as his home, so he used the word "come back".
But too many things happened afterwards and he was never able to make the trip. The beast tide that broke out this time became his opportunity to come back.
The two became comrades fighting side by side again.
Gu Xueting also pounded his chest, said nothing, flew and landed on the back of Xiaoman who was gliding towards him, and his figure disappeared into the distance in a flash.
A puff of hot blood fell down, followed by a big bird falling down.
It was Gu Xueting who killed him.
One, two...the group of attacking big birds fell like rain and no longer posed a threat to the soldiers.
Xiao Xiong retracted his gaze, swung his 180-jin sword, and chopped a white ape that climbed up from behind him into two halves.
Blood splattered, but was instantly frozen into a piece of ice.
After dealing with the threat in the sky, Gu Xueting handed the air over to Xiaoman. He tore open the space with his hands, came to the bottom of the city wall, and swung his sword at the giant bear that was hitting the city gate vigorously.
The giant bear was more than ten meters tall. When it slapped the city gate with its palm, even though the city gate was made of the world's toughest lapis lazuli and was several meters thick, it still shook.
When the giant bear attacked again, Gu Xueting used the black knife in his hand as fast as lightning to cut off its paw.
The severe pain from the broken palm made the giant bear instantly furious. It roared to the sky and stomped towards him.
The giant bear's paw descended from above his head like a mountain, seemingly slow but actually fast, and in the blink of an eye it arrived above Gu Xueting's head.
If he was stepped on, he would be turned into a meat patty on the spot.
Gu Xueting raised his hand and drew a line in front of him, and the giant bear kicked right into the space crack he had drawn.
The space crack closed in an instant, and the giant bear's legs disappeared from below the knees. The wound was as smooth as a mirror, and a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing all over Gu Xueting.
The giant bear suddenly broke a leg, and its huge body lost balance and fell to the ground with a bang, shaking the originally extremely solid snow into pieces, and many monsters were directly crushed to death by it.
Kill him while he's ill!
Gu Xueting leaped up and landed on the giant bear's mountain-like body, stabbing the black knife in his hand straight into its eyes.
Just then, a stray arrow shot towards him.
Gu Xueting turned around to avoid the arrow, but the arrow flew back again and seemed to be aimed at him.
There is something wrong with this arrow! He realized it instantly.
When the arrow was shot, Gu Xueting slashed it with a knife, and the arrow was cut into two pieces and inserted diagonally into the snow. The tail end kept shaking and making a buzzing sound.
Because of this sudden arrow, Gu Xueting not only missed the best opportunity to kill the giant bear, but also had his leg caught by its remaining claw.
The giant bear swung his body and smashed it hard to the ground.
Gu Xueting exhausted all the spiritual energy in his body and waved his hand to send out a space blade, but it was not aimed at the giant bear's claws, but at its eyes.
The space blade was extremely fast and directly penetrated the giant bear's eye socket.
“Ah——”
When Gu Xueting was smashed into the snow, the giant bear let out a roar of pain and unwillingness, rolling on the ground, blood gushing from its eye sockets, like a pool of blood.
The roar of the giant bear gradually weakened, and finally, it died out.
It's dead.
The space blade that Gu Xueting had just used not only chopped off its eyeballs, but also crushed its brain. It would be strange if the giant bear didn't die.
Gu Xueting climbed out of the human-shaped snow pit with difficulty, opened his mouth and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments.
The giant bear's attack just now made him feel dizzy and his internal organs were almost dislocated.
Gu Xueting leaned on the black knife and quickly took out a rejuvenation pill and swallowed it.
He didn't notice that the arrow that he had cut into two pieces before, the part with the arrowhead actually pulled itself out of the snow and shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Xueting sensed the danger, but the broken arrow was too close to him, and his spiritual power was exhausted and his body was seriously injured, so he could not dodge it at all.
At the critical moment, he only had time to move slightly to the side an inch and avoid the fatal part.
Puff! The broken arrow completely penetrated his back and spun in a spiral at a very high speed. Gu Xueting suffered a second injury and spurted out a large mouthful of blood again, and fell to the ground.
"Xiao Ting!" On the city wall, Xiao Xiong saw this scene and jumped down directly.
This section of the city wall was hundreds of meters high. Not to mention warriors, even monks would probably fall to their death. Fortunately, Xiao Xiong used his long sword to grab the wall in time, slowing down his descent and successfully landing on the ground.
"Xiao Ting!" Xiao Xiong ran over, waving his long sword, killing all the monsters around who tried to take the opportunity to eat Gu Xueting, and helped Gu Xueting up.
Looking at the blood at the corner of his mouth and his face covered in black air, Xiao Xiong's heart sank suddenly and he carried him on his back.
Another group of monsters gathered around, baring their teeth and approaching step by step.
Xiao Xiong held Gu Xueting's arm with one hand to prevent him from falling, and waved his knife with the other hand. He exuded a murderous aura, forcing the monsters to not dare to approach easily even though they were salivating.
Xiaoman screamed in the sky and swooped down, bringing with him a hurricane. The smaller monsters were blown all over the place.
When it flew to the lowest altitude, Xiao Xiong jumped with Gu Xueting and landed on its back.
Those heavyweight monsters jumped up and tried to pull it down, but unfortunately they were a step too slow and could only watch as the giant black bird took the two people away.
"Quick! Go get the military doctor!"
