Chapter 219 221 Giant Wild Boar
Cui Lie didn’t know how Rong Xianxian, a “weak woman” with a child, could have offended those people, but he understood that Rong Xianxian was well aware of the existence of those people.
Rong Xianxian avoided fighting not because she was afraid of the strong enemies, but mainly because she was afraid of accidentally hurting other people in the team. Although the others were dependent on her and had received a lot of favors from her, if there were casualties because of her personal grudges, Rong Xianxian herself would feel uneasy, regardless of whether the other people in the team complained or not.
“The kind of thing that happened last time in Binyang Old City won’t happen again, right?” Cui Lie hesitated again and again, but still asked worriedly. Last time they were so careful and yet they were still being watched. This time, they were just blatantly entering an unfamiliar town. Was it really okay?
"No, the official supply points shown on the map issued by the Central Military Department have all been reported to the central government by the local governments and are under the supervision of the Central Military Department. There will be no problem. If you don't trust the official supply points, do you trust those small mountain strongholds that occupy the mountains and act like kings?" Rong Xianxian said jokingly.
The Binyang Safe Zone is a special case. Her enemies had a strong force there before the end of the world. If her enemies had the same force in every safe zone as in the Binyang Safe Zone, then Rong Xianxian would not have to go on and could just surrender and accept her fate.
What Rong Xianxian did not tell Cui Lie was that such official supply points are now garrisoned by military combat troops, and they take turns to garrison there. They bear the important responsibility of cooperating with the completion of various tasks issued by the Central Military Department. Some tasks are very confidential, and such places are the least likely to be infiltrated and controlled by the forces of the major families.
Although she was not very clear about who Rong Xianxian's enemies were, she had some vague guesses. Those who wanted to control her and her son were from the Ning Qingyun family, and those who were hunting her and her son were probably Gong Hanyu's men, the Miss Gong who killed her and her son in the previous life.
Thinking of the two children who died tragically with her in her previous life, Rong Xianxian couldn't calm down. Regardless of whether Yunshan and Gong Hanyu's actions were instructed by Ning Qingyun, one was his right-hand subordinate and the other was his childhood sweetheart, so he was inextricably linked to this matter.
Rong Xianxian has been working hard to improve her strength in this life so that she doesn't have to rely on anyone and isn't controlled by anyone. She can avoid the enemy when she is not strong enough, just to hide her strength and show weakness to the enemy. She will also give them an unforgettable lesson at the right time. She keeps the grudges of her previous life in mind, and there will always be a day of reckoning.
"Sister Rong, I didn't control my emotions in the old city of Binyang. I'm sorry." Cui Lie looked at the two children who were laughing and playing, and said awkwardly. His face turned red before he finished speaking.
Rong Xianxian's mind was pulled back by Cui Lie's words. She smiled lightly, "It's nothing. I know you are thinking about me. If you have any ideas in the future, tell me in advance, don't hold them back."
Rong Xianxian did not ask what Cui Lie did in the old city of Binyang last time. As long as he escaped safely, it would be fine. Even if Cui Lie killed all the people who were chasing them, it would only make the enemy more alert to her strength. Although she did not like indiscriminate killing, she knew what was right and what was wrong. No matter what Cui Lie did, as long as he felt comfortable, it would be fine.
If other people in the team left the team, without the talismans, medicines and treatments provided by Rong Xianxian, their personal safety would be threatened to a certain extent. Except for Cui Lie. Since embarking on the journey north, Cui Lie's actual combat strength has increased exponentially. Now, even Rong Xianxian, who has broken through to the Qiqiao realm, cannot figure out his true strength.
"Alie, I feel like you seem different now than when you were in Chongzhou. Has something happened?" Rong Xianxian asked.
"I've seen a lot of blood and remembered some forgotten past events." Cui Lie said frankly.
Cui Lie spoke vaguely, but Rong Xianxian heard some stories, the forgotten past, what kind of past was it and why was it forgotten? What should have happened to Cui Lie before he retired from the army. Judging from his abilities, his identity in the army must have been complicated.
"You have been stuck at the peak of the Chongmai Realm for quite some time. When do you think you can advance?" Rong Xianxian asked.
“It’s hard to say. Theoretically, if there is enough spiritual energy to support it, you can advance at any time.” Cui Lie replied.
Rong Xianxian nodded. She and he had faced the same problem before. Later, she was infused with the spiritual energy that erupted from the explosion of a black hole in the small secret realm. By chance, she broke through the realm and was promoted to the Qiqiao realm.
The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is thin now. The higher the level, the harder it is to advance. Although Yu Feng from the Binyang Safety Zone has also advanced to the Qiqiao Realm, the amount of spiritual energy stored in his meridians is far less than that of Rong Xianxian, otherwise his meridians would not have been injured by the sword.
While Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie were talking, a huge wild boar with hair as thin as steel needles moved its ears and slowly raised its head in the dense grass. It looked vigilantly at the two adults and two children who were walking towards it. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo were walking in front, just in the same straight line. Although the two adults at the back looked difficult to deal with, the two cubs in front made it very greedy. The wild boar got hot-headed and rushed out regardless of anything.
With a "bang", the wild boar that charged towards Xiao Luo fell on its back. The wild boar that was knocked to the ground made a low, threatening nasal sound of "humming". Its left front leg was cut off at the thigh by the flying knife in Cui Lie's hand.
The wild boar fell right in front of Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo looked at the three-legged wild boar that was grinning and struggling to stand up, and kicked the wild boar's right front leg with a "bang". With a "click", the wild boar screamed and fell to the ground again. Its bloodshot eyes looked at the human cub in front of it with hatred. The human cub was not even as tall as its legs. Its long pig mouth showed two sharp fangs, and it struggled to bite Xiao Luo.
The wild boar with its two front legs completely broken posed no threat to the children, not to mention Xuanxuan was holding a Phoenix umbrella to protect her brother.
Cui Lie picked up the pig leg that fell in front of him and said, "Sister Rong, this is the first time we have seen a wild boar on this journey. Before, the wild areas were full of monsters. I thought all the wild animals were eaten by monsters!"
"The denser the population, the more monsters there are. This area is deserted and has fewer monsters, so wild animals can survive." Rong Xianxian looked at the wild boar that was almost as tall as a person in amazement. How could this big guy grow so tall? If it didn't look exactly like a wild boar, it would be hard to imagine that there would be such a big wild boar.
Just in time, today’s dinner is settled!
