The knife was entirely black, forged from some unknown material, and looked exceptionally heavy. A powerful blue dragon was carved on it.
"The supreme weapon of the martial world, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, is unmatched without the Heaven-Reliant Sword..." At this moment, Xie Xun sighed leisurely, quite fittingly. "Little Gao, this is the renowned Dragon-Slaying Saber of the martial world! For this saber, so many friends have become mortal enemies, even those as close as master and disciple, father and son, brothers, cannot avoid killing each other... Alas..." He sighed, a sorrowful and desolate look appearing on his face.
When Gao Jianfei saw Xie Xun's appearance, he immediately knew that Xie Xun must have thought of his master Cheng Kun and ruthlessly betrayed him!
At the same time, the voice of the intelligent program rang in Gao Jianfei's mind: "Dear user, the Dragon Slayer Saber in the hands of the level 5 ghost Xie Xun is an exchangeable item, a divine weapon. You only need to spend 50 exorcism points to bring the Dragon Slayer Saber into the real world."
"50 exorcism points?" Gao Jianfei shook his head. "Completely unnecessary! If I had 50 exorcism points, I'd rather go after a level 5 ghost! Why waste a sword on that?"
After a pause, Gao Jianfei lost interest in continuing his casual conversation with Xie Xun and gave a direct order...
Super Ghost Instrument, Learning Space Open!
So Gao Jianfei began to humbly ask Xie Xun to teach him the two profound martial arts, Seven Injury Fist and Lion's Roar.
Xie Xun imparted all his knowledge to Xie Xun.
The Seven Injury Fist is the ultimate technique of the Zhen Sect of the Kongtong School. It belongs to a type of internal martial art with immense destructive power. A single punch may appear calm and unpredictable, but within it surges a turbulent torrent, containing seven distinct forces! Some charge straight ahead, some insidiously injure, and some rupture the liver and intestines…
This is a martial art that represents the pinnacle of internal martial arts!
Although the Seven Injury Fist cannot injure people from a distance like the One-Finger Divine Skill, its power and intimidation in close combat are far more terrifying than the One-Finger Divine Skill.
Gao Jianfei really wanted to learn this boxing style.
However, a problem arises.
The Seven Injury Fist injures itself first, then injures others!
In other words, if one does not possess superior internal strength, recklessly practicing the Seven Injury Fist may lead to mental instability in the later stages, meaning... turning into a lunatic! A madman!
Currently, Gao Jianfei's internal strength is not enough to support his practice of the Seven Injury Fist.
Gao Jianfei only has two paths ahead of him... First, he should temporarily practice the Seven Injury Fist, but he must quickly improve his internal strength to avoid the negative effects of the Seven Injury Fist;
Secondly, do not practice the Seven Injury Fist yet; wait until your internal strength reaches the required level before practicing it.
After weighing the options, Gao Jianfei thought that improving his internal strength would be quite simple. He just needed to accumulate enough exorcism points and summon a ghost skilled in internal strength.
Gao Jianfei was itching to learn such a fierce martial art.
So, "Sex" spent two hours learning the Seven Injury Fist first.
Having just learned the Seven Injury Fist, Gao Jianfei tested its power. He punched a large tree, and not a single leaf fell. However, when Xie Xun used the Dragon-Slaying Saber to break the tree in half, he discovered that the tree's roots and veins were completely shattered into countless bizarre shapes!
Some tree veins were crushed into powder, some were bent, and some were broken into several pieces...
"Haha! What would happen if this kind of boxing technique were used on someone's body?" Gao Jianfei's eyebrows danced with delight, extremely satisfied.
Then, it was time to learn another of Xie Xun's signature moves... the Lion's Roar!
This lion's roar is a sudden burst of true energy from the dantian, creating a terrifying sonic attack! The victim will suffer from deafness at best, and mental breakdown at worst, becoming an idiot; in the most severe cases, they will bleed to death from all seven orifices!
Gao Jianfei spent another two hours learning this terrifying Lion's Roar technique.
After bidding farewell to Xie Xun, Gao Jianfei's entire demeanor and spirit improved dramatically! The enhancement in his martial arts skills made Gao Jianfei feel as if he had been reborn!
confidence!
At this moment, he possessed an unparalleled level of confidence!
He had reason to believe that with his martial arts skills, he could get through the crisis safely. No matter how dangerous the Viking Kingdom was, Gao Jianfei was brave enough to deal with it!
Upon arriving at the first floor of the Ghost Den, Gao Jianfei met with the level 1 ghosts pieced together from this area.
More than 800 level 1 ghosts.
Through questioning, Gao Jianfei obtained some useful information from these level 1 ghosts.
These Level 1 ghosts, like Blank and his companions, were explorers from all over the world in their previous lives. There were researchers, sailors, and even prostitutes, women, and family members…
They entered the 'Arctic Forbidden Zone', were captured alive by the Vikings, and then taken to the Viking Kingdom for house arrest.
They told Gao Jianfei that, generally speaking, any outsiders captured would be settled in this stone house area, and no one could escape from here. Anyone who tried to escape ended up as roast meat on the Vikings' tables.
After settling into the stone houses, the Vikings wouldn't rush to summon the newcomers. They would employ a psychological tactic, waiting a week or even a month before doing so. This way, even the most resilient newcomers would break down under the psychological pressure.
The primary role of outsiders for the Vikings was to teach Viking children about the outside world and its advanced culture; or to serve as toys for the Vikings, possessing some aesthetic value; while young and handsome outsiders were used as tools for the Vikings to satisfy their sexual desires…
In short, once you arrive here, they won't kill you, but you'll be a slave! A slave who has lost your freedom for life!
How truly tragic!
After learning these things, Gao Jianfei also learned about the general layout of the city, King Beckenbauer's palace, and other details from these level 1 ghosts.
Based on these circumstances, Gao Jianfei roughly sketched out a draft.
On the second day, Gao Jianfei released a large number of level 1 ghosts to drift and probe the city in order to refine the city's sketch.
“Jianfei, these Vikings are so strange. After they imprisoned us here, they just left us to our own devices and ignored us. I feel very strange, and I’m also very nervous. I don’t know what will happen next…” Li Yun said with a worried expression.
Not only Li Yun, but everyone else also had very serious expressions on their faces.
Gao Jianfei chuckled, "Haha, everyone, don't overthink it. Actually, this is a psychological tactic. The Vikings simply want to wear down our spirit and make us completely submit on a spiritual level. Alright, let's just focus on having fun here. I believe it won't be long before the Vikings will come to us!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei even took out some playing cards and mahjong tiles from the ghost den and taught his men to play games like Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
…… …… ……
The center of the Viking kingdom.
There is a gigantic palace!
The palace has an inner moat, a drawbridge, is guarded by a large number of fully armed soldiers, and is also home to thousands of polar bears.
The palace walls are inlaid with a large number of gems, pearls and diamonds, so even in the darkest night, the palace can still emit a dazzling light.
This is the main city of the Viking Kingdom!
It's the palace of the Viking king!
At this moment, in the main hall of the palace.
An elderly Viking with a rugged appearance and a sinister expression sat on a throne inlaid with precious jewels. He wore a long robe woven entirely from gold and silver threads and a crown on his head.
Beckenbauer!
Viking King... Beckenbauer!
To Beckenbauer's left and right stood two rows of imposing Vikings. Prince Scholes stood prominently among them.
These two rows of Vikings represent Beckenbauer's ten sons, the ten princes, and some important ministers.
“Dear Scholes, I heard that your trip lasted almost a month, and you didn’t bring back a single polar bear. Instead, you brought back a group of outsiders…” Beckenbauer looked directly at Scholes!
There was an invisible yet tangible pressure in his gaze! There was an innate aura of dominance, an aura of a king!
Scholes was stunned by that gaze, seemingly intimidated, and couldn't utter a single word!
"Hmm, Scholes, could it be that the polar bears outside are extinct? Well, you should at least bring some seals and whales home!" A middle-aged Viking man with a somewhat sarcastic appearance sneered at Scholes.
Scholes gritted his teeth. "Your Majesty, although I did not bring back any polar bears or any wild beasts, those outsiders are absolutely unlike any other outsiders captured in our Viking history... They are hiding a great secret!"
Chapter 501 What a grand display!
Chapter 501 What a grand display!
The Viking Kingdom.
Inside King Beckenbauer's palace, ten princes, along with some Viking nobles, were received by King Beckenbauer.
The conversation turned to Scholes' recent trip.
Scholes was actually planning to keep some things a secret. For example, Gao Jianfei could not only tame animals, but also hide his pets in a special space... Scholes did not intend to reveal this secret.
However, he greatly underestimated Beckenbauer's imposing presence. Beckenbauer's casual glare, with its sharp gaze, seemed capable of piercing through to the very depths of one's soul. Scholes, caught off guard by Beckenbauer's questioning, could only blurt out the truth.
"Your Majesty, I was supposed to bring a herd of polar bears back to the kingdom this time. However, due to the appearance of a certain mysterious figure, my plan fell through. But this mysterious figure seems to be able to bring us something more valuable..." Scholes composed himself and slowly began to speak, "It's like this, that mysterious figure, like us Vikings, can tame animals!"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Beckenbauer and the others frowned, their expressions becoming slightly serious.
"He even knows how to tame animals?" Beckenbauer stroked his beard, his expression shifting between light and shadow.
“Ahem,” Scholes coughed twice. “Father, this… this ability to tame beasts is one thing, it’s not that amazing. After all, we Viking children all know how to tame beasts. The main problem is that this guy can hide his pets in a special space and only release them suddenly during battle. He has dozens of polar bear pets, which he usually keeps in this special space. Once a battle starts, dozens of polar bears will instantly tear through the air and pounce on their target!”
"Huh?! Is that so!" Upon hearing Scholes's words, Beckenbauer immediately stood up, his facial muscles twitching!
"No way? How is this possible?" The other nine princes and the high-ranking officials all looked around, as if they had heard something tempting and magical in this world.
Although their expressions were shocked, the greed in their eyes was obvious.
"Are you lying, Scholes! Are you trying to cover up your incompetence and mistakes with lies?" Beckenbauer roared.
“No! My esteemed father! It’s true! That guy used that very move to kill hundreds of my personal guards! I swear, everything I’m saying is true!” Scholes hurriedly argued.
"Then... what about that mysterious guy?" Beckenbauer was absolutely furious!
“Your Majesty, that fellow is very cunning, he… he escaped… However! I have captured all his companions! We can find some important clues through his companions!” Scholes said hurriedly.
"Hahaha! Excellent! Tomorrow, I want to meet that guy's companions!" Beckenbauer roared to the sky. He knew very well how advantageous the skill of hiding pets anytime, anywhere was for the Vikings! It would allow them to fully utilize their animal taming skills!
“Your Majesty, according to our usual practice, we should allow a period of silence before summoning any foreign visitors. This time…” a senior minister interjected. “They’ve only been in our Viking Kingdom for a few days…aren’t we being a little too hasty…”
“No! I want to see them tomorrow! I can’t wait!” Beckenbauer exclaimed excitedly. “Scholes, this is your job. Tomorrow morning, bring those guys to the main square! I want to see them in person!”
…… …… ……
Having been in the Viking Kingdom for several days, Gao Jianfei and the others had begun to adapt to life there. They were completely left idle and ignored. Every day at noon, only a group of cold-faced Viking women would come to bring them coarse food, which Gao Jianfei and the others simply ignored.
Furthermore, after Gao Jianfei learned the Seven Injury Fist and Lion's Roar from Xie Xun, his own demeanor and confidence also increased significantly. His mental outlook gave people a refreshing feeling, a change that those around him could clearly perceive. As a result, everyone's mentality gradually shifted from tense to relaxed.
That evening, Gao Jianfei even engaged in some passionate sexual activity with Song Ying. As usual, this left the women in the outer room, including Li Yun and Zheng Cuiyun, feeling restless and unsatisfied.
Early the next morning.
Suddenly, a large group of Viking soldiers poured into the area of stone houses. They were gleaming in armor, fully armed, and each had their own pet. Leading them was Prince Scholes, riding a polar bear, looking quite triumphant.
Gao Jianfei and his companions were driven out of the stone house.
Now, Gao Jianfei, Song Ying, and the other women have all undergone perfect disguises, their faces are black and dirty, their own body odor is concealed, and they are not afraid of being recognized by these damned Vikings.
"Listen, you bunch of idiots, come with me right now!" Scholes waved his hand, coolly urging the polar bear away from the stone house area. His soldiers immediately shouted, urging Gao Jianfei and the others to follow Scholes.
Gao Jianfei kept his head down, leading his companions in close pursuit. He thought to himself... "These Vikings are finally losing their patience! They're about to make their move! Alright, I'll play it by ear. In any case, I'll make these Viking fools pay double for any grievances I suffer today!"
Even after leaving the stone house area, as we walked briskly, we still saw many Vikings stopping to watch and point.
