Du Yuqi heard that her voice seemed a little tired, so he took her down the mountain and asked:

"Are you hurt?"

Xi shook his head and said:

"No, I just have a weird feeling in my heart."

Seeing the indifferent expression on Xi's face, Du Yuqi suddenly felt a pain in his heart and felt a little sad:

"Just tell me what's going on, share it with me."

Xi said lightly:

"It's not a big deal, actually. I remembered some past events. I remember when I was a child, my master gave me a very cute doll. I always put it under my pillow when I slept, but one day I found that the doll was missing. I was very sad at that time. I looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it. I thought to myself, if I could find my doll back, then I would be willing to pay any price..."

"But I never found it. I was sad for two or three weeks and then slowly recovered. It was not until two years later when I moved that I found it under the bed. By then, the doll was already covered in dust and wrinkled. I stared at it blankly, but I didn't feel any surprise in my heart. Instead, I felt disgusted and finally threw it into the garbage. Now I feel the same as when I found the doll under the bed."

Du Yuqi led Xi Chao down the mountain, and said thoughtfully:

"The doll is still the same doll, it has never changed, but the state of mind in childhood is completely gone, which naturally brings a completely different feeling. What you miss is not the time you spent with Suzan Jing, but the innocent memories you once had. This is normal."

Listening to Du Yuqi's slow story, Xi's brows gradually brightened. After all, she was the one who had practiced the Emperor Slash. Although the Emperor Slash had also undergone obvious changes and would experience emotional fluctuations like the one just now, these things were like dust and spider silk obscuring the soul. They might be able to obscure it for a while, but once Xi woke up, she could immediately wipe her soul again and make it as clean as new.

After the two of them changed their disguises slightly, they blended into the bustling dock below, where people were still coming and going. Although this place was close to the border of Xu's motherland, the customs and habits were still similar to those of Xu's motherland, so Suzanxi came forward to deal with the boss.

After paying, the two came to the waterside platform of a teahouse, drank a local specialty, a large-leaf bitter tea, and asked the shopkeeper to serve a local specialty, a kind of rice cake. This kind of rice cake is similar to the glutinous rice cake on Earth, but when making the rice flour, specialties similar to locust flowers are added to it. After steaming, the color is like white snow, steaming hot, fragrant, and tastes soft and glutinous. It can be said to be of good quality and low price.

After Du Yuqi and Xi finished eating two plates of rice cake, they didn't notice anything unusual. Du Yuqi pondered and said:

"That's weird. Logically speaking, if the other party had any secret plan, it should have been launched already. Could it be that the escaped Kamaka II informed the other party that the interception failed, so they canceled it midway?"

Xi suddenly said:

"Or, the other party has already launched an offensive, but we haven't seen it yet!"

Just as Xi said this, there was a sudden flash of extremely fierce light on the hillside, just like thunder and lightning, and then there was a violent and dull roar of explosion in the ears. The sound seemed to resonate with the internal organs. Many ordinary people with weak bodies could not bear it and fell to the ground and vomited violently. Some even vomited blood.

After a long while, the loud noise coming from the hillside stopped, and a raging fire could be seen there. Black smoke was billowing into the sky. It was obvious that the temperature was extremely high, and even the temperature on the dock below was affected and rose by several degrees.

Du Yuqi was also stunned at this time. Analyzing from the current situation, it was estimated that even Kamaka and Suzan Jing were kept in the dark. Such an attack force was a completely comprehensive destructive strike. They were determined to sacrifice them and would not give anyone any chance of survival. Even a piece of steel would be melted!

"What kind of weapons did these bastards use? How did they drop the weapons? Or were they buried somewhere?" Du Yuqi couldn't help but ask in surprise. "With such a terrifying attack range and such a huge power, it's impossible to defend against it!"

Xi shook his head and said:

"It wasn't buried in advance. If something like this was buried there, not only me, but even Suzhan Mirror would have a related reaction. Just before the flash, I felt a little uneasy. This weapon should have fallen from mid-air, and I guess it should be a test product. There is no way to mass-produce it, and the accuracy of the attack is also a problem."

Only then did Du Yuqi breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, there was a large-scale riot at the dock. Some people were crying, some were taking advantage of the chaos to rob, some were trying to fish in troubled waters, some were in a hurry to leave, and some were even using this as an opportunity to spread religion. Du Yuqi thought about it and said:

"Can the Suzhan Mirror still sense your whereabouts now?"

Suzhanxi said:

"No, I have absorbed all the spiritual energy in her body. Not only can she not sense my whereabouts, but she will need to wait at least two or three months for cultivation."

Du Yuqi nodded and said:

"The enemy's surprise attack was quite unexpected. I feel like the enemy is so desperate that they're willing to do anything. The flames are spreading rapidly towards us. The dock is in a panic and many ships are trying to set sail. Why don't we just take a boat and join Lin and his men? The Sicilian gang probably didn't expect us to suddenly turn back... and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to do anything to us."

Xi nodded and said:

"As you say."

…

This time the two men did not find a passenger ship, so they chose a cargo barge to board. The barge only had sails as power, and most of the time it was used as a towed ship. However, the cargo transported on the barge was grain, and there was no bad smell. The owner had originally planned to dock and unload the cargo and resell it to local grain merchants, but before the price was negotiated, he discovered a spreading fire.

The ship owner was already dissatisfied with the local grain prices, and with the mysterious wildfire breaking out and gradually approaching the town, he was immediately frightened and ordered the ship to set sail immediately. He was originally unwilling to take anyone with him, but Du Yuqi helped transport the dozens of bags of grain that had been unloaded back to the ship, and was willing to pay the shipping fee, so he went along with it.

There are also two empty rooms on the barge, which are used for private work on weekdays. The basic facilities are almost complete, and the focus is on cleanliness. The barge has a wide bottom and a large boat, and its carrying capacity is also amazing, so it is quite stable when sailing. The disadvantage is that it cannot withstand strong winds and waves and can only sail on inland rivers.

Another advantage is that this boat is powered by the leading boat in front, and its own power comes from the sails, so when riding on it, you will not feel the noise and vibration from the alchemical machinery inside. You can make a cup of tea and sit in a cool place, admiring the beautiful rural scenery on both sides of the river. It really feels like this is a beautiful vacation trip.

Only at this time did Du Yuqi begin to treat his injuries. After being hit by Kamochka II, the most serious injury he suffered was caused by the knife that stabbed out from under his fist. Du Yuqi didn't realize it before, but only now did he realize that the guy's knife was coated with poison. Although the poison was not very strong, it had a special paralyzing property that could interfere with people's judgment of the injury.

Du Yuqi accidentally smelled a foul odor coming from his body, and only then realized that his injuries had deteriorated to the terrible stage of ulceration and pus. What was originally just a flesh wound caused by a small knife had now rotted into three large holes, and a large amount of yellow-green pus was flowing out, which looked shocking.

Moreover, his injuries were all in his armpits and back, which were places he could not reach, so it was difficult to heal himself. According to the treatment methods on the continent of Arad that Du Yuqi knew about, this injury was very severe for him. It could be seen that Kamochka II was truly a veteran, and his every move had its own meaning. Even the wounds he inflicted on the enemy were probably the result of hundreds of studies and calculations.

Fortunately, Du Yuqi had Xilai to help. Although Xilai had no relevant treatment experience, she had the necessary qualities of the best surgeons, that is, stability, especially the stability of her hands! It was almost as precise as a machine.

So under Du Yuqi's instruction, Xi began to try to cut the rotten flesh, clean the wound, flush the pus and blood, then suture it, and finally sprinkle it with diluted holy water, and then bandage it. After this set of operation procedures, Du Yuqi was sweating profusely in pain, and even Xi felt it was quite hard, because she always felt that she seemed to have done something wrong and hurt Du Yuqi instead.

After the treatment was completed, Du Yuqi and the other person had already sailed down for about 40 to 50 miles. At this time, Du Yuqi raised his eyebrows, as if he had sensed something, and then said:

"Jeter and the others seem to be nearby."

Ever since Jet became Du Yuqi's follower, the two of them have been able to establish a vague connection in their hearts, and they can also vaguely sense each other's position. The closer the distance between the two, the stronger this sense is.

At this time, the two naturally jumped off the boat. Du Yuqi followed his feeling and soon reunited with them. Only then did he realize that Jet and Lin had noticed the retreat of the pursuers, and they had been chasing them aggressively all the way and finally came here.

By this time, most of the pursuers had dispersed. After all, these people came only for the bounty. When they realized that the risk of chasing was too great, they decisively gave up. After all, although the bounty was high, it still cost their lives.
