Chapter 241 Windy Canyon
9……
8……
7…
Xiao Jian pretended to be calm as he looked at the countdown in front of him, trying not to show any strange or surprised expression.
But even so, the slightly dilated pupils still betrayed the fact that he was very surprised.
This set of numbers itself is actually nothing, just like the countdown of the sunlight value on [Windmill Clover] after planting it.
It is also a bit similar to the countdown that appears on the tombstone after [Zombie Gravedigger] presents the tombstone.
Of course, Xiao Jian would not be surprised by such an ordinary countdown, but the problem is that it appears in the wrong place.
When Xiao Jian chose to ask the blind mother-in-law...oh no, she should be called the blind saint now.
In short, after Xiao Jian injected 10 points of sunlight into it, a countdown of the same style as [Windmill Clover] appeared on the head of the blind saint.
And even the rate of loss is the same!
In other words, these 10 points of sunshine can only keep the blind saint alive for another 10 minutes! !
After 10 minutes, God knows whether she will disappear directly!
"Where did that person, or his tribe, go?" Xiao Jian asked this cold and heartless question with an expressionless face.
There is no way, time is too tight, if the blind saint is bound to disappear, then we can only squeeze out her remaining value as soon as possible.
"Going over there, moving deep into the Blackstone Mountains...the last time I heard they disappeared into the Gale Canyon."
The blind saint looked up at Xiao Jian and said softly.
She didn't seem to have any intention of sorting out her clothes, and she had left them all when she went crazy...
However, she didn't care about this, and even summoned a mirror, looking at herself in the mirror intoxicatedly, stroking her smooth skin from time to time... Although her movements looked like she was looking at herself in pity, in fact she There is only nostalgia in my eyes, clear nostalgia.
"Wind Canyon..."
Xiao Jian lowered his head to record the location for a moment. When he raised his head again, the blind saint had thrown away the torn clothes and showed herself candidly like a medieval oil painting - of course, in front of the mirror.
"I don't have much time. Don't you have anything else to ask?"
Suddenly, the blind saint turned around and looked at Xiao Jian with her chin raised.
6…
Six minutes to go.
Xiao Jian glanced at the countdown above her head and once again confirmed the blind saint's remaining time.
"Are you really a great person?" Xiao Jian changed the topic he was concerned about.
"Of course!" the blind saint replied proudly, "I have the authority of the true god recognized by the will of the world!! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to persist in this corrupt place for so long!"
...5 minutes left.
"What was your original world like?"
"..."
When asked this question, the blind saint who claimed to know everything suddenly fell silent for two minutes.
"It is a beautiful place, with blooming flowers everywhere... The elves will collect honey and dew, and then use them to brew delicious scented tea..."
“The woods are lush and green, and the birds are beautiful and friendly…”
"...Everything is so beautiful."
"until……"
Having said this, the blind saint suddenly became silent again.
2 minutes……
1 minute……
"……until?"
Xiao Jian finally couldn't help but ask.
"Until the sun runs out and the world collapses."
"As my world fell into this endless abyss..."
"The birds died, the elves burned themselves up, the forest withered, and the flowers and plants turned into nothingness."
"This is hell."
"And you my friend, thank you for giving me a moment of clarity so I can remember the past."
"So, goodbye..."
After saying that, the blind saint closed her eyes and waited for the final moment to come.
30 seconds……
"Hey wait...the sun is running out? What do you mean?"
Xiao Jian immediately asked after hearing the keyword. The blind saint was slightly startled when he heard this: "Huh? Don't you... forget it, it's only a matter of time for you."
After that, she closed her eyes again.
"Wait! You should finish your sentence! If you break the chapter, the dog will be given a razor blade! Please speak... please, give me another chapter! Please!"
"..."
However, no matter how much Xiao Jian asked, the blind saint just closed her eyes and was immersed in her beautiful memories.
10…
9……
8……
Seeing that the blind saint was about to disappear with her secret, Xiao Jian was so anxious that he injected another 100 sunshine points into her.
Then……
100……
99…
98…
Oh, it turns out it can be recharged, so that’s okay... I thought it was a one-time use!
Xiao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief and simply sat down next to the blind saint to study the mirror she summoned.
Of course, Xiao Jian's angle was a little crooked, so he definitely couldn't see himself, but he could still see other things very clearly...such as certain things that couldn't be said or written.
This mirror is so white!
Oh no, this mirror is so big!
The mirror's leather is smooth and shiny, and even the frame is pink, which tells you that it's well-maintained.
"……What are you looking at?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Xiao Jian's ear.
"Looking in the mirror? Otherwise? What else can I look at?" Xiao Jian said righteously.
The blind saint sneered, and then slowly pulled open the curtain on the mirror leg.
Suddenly, the slender mirror leg painted with pink and white paint slowly emerged from the curtain...
Just when Xiao Jian widened his eyes, the blind saint suddenly turned into a blind grandmother, and threw a wink to Xiao Jian through the mirror.
"Ugh..."
Xiao Jian suddenly felt that his soul was shocked.
The smooth boiled egg instantly turned into a fried and blackened tiger skin egg. The effect of this visual impact can be called a real injury that hits the soul directly, and even made Xiao Jian lose the ability to love others for a short time.
"...Heh, man."
The blind grandmother glanced at herself in the mirror, waved her hand in disdain and put the mirror away.
It can be seen that she herself is also very dissatisfied with her current appearance.
However, the instinct for survival still makes her choose to accept herself now.
After all, after she turned into a blind grandmother again, the speed of the countdown above her head suddenly decreased by 5 times!
The original 1 point of sunlight value can only be used for 1 minute, but now 1 point of sunlight value can last for more than 5 minutes!
If there are only 10 minutes left in life, no one would mind blooming for a while.
But if life changes from the last 10 minutes to 500 minutes, most people would still want to struggle.
After all, since you have renewed the clock once when you are about to die, why do you think you can't renew it again?
As long as you renew it again and again, won't you be able to live a long, long time?
Therefore, after getting the new sunlight value injection, the blind grandmother began to care about time, and her eyes flashed with all kinds of brilliance when she stared at Xiao Jian.
"... Do you like the way I looked just now? Give me another 1,000 driving force, and I will let you see it! And you can do whatever you want."
The blind grandmother seduced coquettishly.
It must be said that the blind grandmother has indeed lived long enough, and her figure is incredibly soft.
She is really a super late-stage hardcore mature woman who has grown fruit trees again and produced fruit again after being ripe and rotten on the ground.
"Didn't you say that driving force is precious? Why do you ask for 1,000? Do you think I can afford it?" Xiao Jian asked incredulously.
"You, haha." The blind grandmother smiled, "I know your secret."
"..."
Xiao Jian's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little nervous.
After all, he didn't have a feature like [Counterattack], or a relic like [Non-existent Curtain]. He didn't even have the so-called "knowledge-type" authority (feature).
If the blind grandmother had any similar exploration authority, God knows how much she could see of herself.
"Humph, it seems that I guessed right... Your world is not burned out, and you haven't completely fallen into this hell! You even have some connection with your own world!"
"Only this can explain why you don't know that the sunlight is exhausted and you can still restore driving force!"
The blind grandmother looked like "Humph, I saw through you."
"But your luck is only temporary. Everything will change eventually... and you, my friend, are lucky! You met me, and with a small price, you can learn the truth of this world and your future destiny from me."
"How about it? Try it, I promise you will definitely gain a lot."
The blind grandmother tempted.
However, as soon as she said this, Xiao Jian was not nervous.
Obviously, the other party did not have the authority or characteristics of exploration, and had no idea why Xiao Jian came here.
"Really? That's what you think." Xiao Jian shrugged, "I'm sorry, I can only say... you guessed wrong."
Xiao Jian still had doubts about "sunlight exhaustion", "falling" or "corrosion land".
But as long as the blind saint is still alive, he will know about this sooner or later.
Since the blind grandmother has extended her life for 8 hours, Xiao Jian decided to leave her alone first, anyway, he was not in a hurry.
So, after throwing out the above words, Xiao Jian directly chose to take back his clone and disappeared directly from the blind grandmother!
Then, he chose to use [False Body] on Hopper again.
In a flash, Xiao Jian returned from the Saint Peak to the shelter near the Condensation Land.
But as soon as his clone appeared, he heard Hopper's panting and his unique "declaration of love".
Tsk, bad luck!
It's not over yet!
Are all newly married men so fierce?
Xiao Jian shook his head and came out of the underground shelter, and found that the villagers in the whole village were seizing the time to reproduce.
After all, the previous war caused the village to lose 70% of its population. Now that it has finally settled down, of course it must recover as soon as possible.
This is the same as the baby boom after the war.
After leaving the underground, Xiao Jian spread his wings and flew directly in the direction the saint said.
Of course, the first step is to return to the Saint Peak, and then according to the coordinates given by the saint, move towards the "Wind Canyon" she described.
Xiao Jian plans to spend 5 hours, whether he finds it or not, he must return to the Saint Peak to guard the old saint.
After all, she has lived too long, and the knowledge she has acquired must be very valuable.
But now both sides can't even trust each other, so whoever takes the initiative in the next game will suffer, this is certain.
Although Xiao Jian doesn't care much about the sunshine value... but he can't show it after all, in case the other party sees through his cards and starts asking for a sky-high price.
Many times, it doesn't mean that if you come up with a win-win solution, the other party will agree, because everyone wants to maximize their own interests.
If one side is strong and the other is weak, then isn't it good for the winner to take all? Why give up the benefits?
As long as one side confirms that it has even a little advantage, it will eventually evolve into the famous pirate gold coin division model.
In other words, the winner takes almost all.
Only when the strength of both parties is equal and in a dynamic, comprehensive game of all aspects and dimensions, it is confirmed that it cannot get an advantage from the other party, will the win-win solution become the optimal solution.
However, this requires a long process to confirm each other...
Xiao Jian has what the blind mother-in-law wants, and the blind mother-in-law also has what Xiao Jian wants.
However, it seems that they need each other fairly, but the sunshine value is a rigid need for the blind mother-in-law, and it is a resource that will endanger her life if she loses it.
But intelligence is something that can never be fatal to Xiao Jian.
So, Xiao Jian must win this game.
Of course, the premise is that the blind grandmother must be an ideal rational person in game theory... Otherwise, if the other party cannot face the fact that he has lost all the initiative and starts to self-destruct, it will be more trouble than it costs for Xiao Jian.
No one is a saint, and how many people can really put aside all emotions and become absolutely rational people who only care about the benefits?
Therefore, this degree must be mastered, neither too much nor too little.
Fortunately, Xiao Jian has a lot of resources and the bottom line is low enough-it's nothing more than using the sunshine value to support a person. You know, there are only 1440 minutes in a whole day! Even if she maintains the image of a blind saint, Xiao Jian is more than enough to support her!
What's more, the blind grandmother only needs one-fifth of it?
With a plan in mind, Xiao Jian flew directly to the "Wind Canyon".
With his current movement speed of 28 points, it took more than an hour to fly to the Wind Canyon.
God knows how those aborigines who can only move forward by groping explored such a far place.
In the description of the blind grandmother, the Wind Canyon seems to be just a peculiar terrain.
When he actually flew here, he found that this place was indeed worthy of its name - strong winds kept pouring in from one end of the canyon and blowing out from the other end.
The "whoosh" strong wind brought gusts of wind whistling, as if some monster was howling non-stop.
If this was just a strange geographical phenomenon, it would be fine, but Xiao Jian soon discovered the weirdness of this canyon...
This so-called canyon was actually split by something!
Flying in the sky, Xiao Jian was extremely sure of this!
And he soon found out what it was - it was an axe, a super giant axe that was as long as dozens of trains connected together!
Note that it is not dozens of carriages, but dozens of complete trains, each with more than a dozen carriages!!
If it weren't for the [Break the Confusion] feature, Xiao Jian couldn't see the surrounding terrain at all, and naturally he wouldn't realize it...
It turned out that the strangely shaped mountain was actually the handle of an axe!!
Looking at the axe that could be called "terrain" level, Xiao Jian suddenly felt vaguely that this might be the masterpiece of the legendary "Ancient".
