Chapter 77: The Strong Dragon Suppresses the Earth-Headed Snake
It's now around 7 o'clock on the first evening of Paul Festival, at this time the sky is completely dark, with many stars but no moon. It's not that the moon doesn't appear, it's just that there was never a moon in this place to begin with. The darkness hasn't diminished the enthusiasm of the citizens of Dela City for their festival, on the contrary, there are even more people now!
The night view of Dela City is very beautiful. Starting from Paul's Festival, for the next two days, a total of three days, people on the mainland of light have the custom of lighting lanterns at night. They will light up the lights as soon as it gets dark and keep them on until dawn, symbolizing that the mainland of light has left darkness and moved towards light from this day on.
Although the Luminous Continent was later drawn into war again, this tradition continued. Moreover, with the resurgence of human civilization, human magic and alchemy made great progress, and when people lit lamps, they were no longer monotonous torches, but colorful magical lights!
Thousands of households were lit up with magical lights, the scene was truly resplendent and enchanting. At least Xia Chun Tian was mesmerized by these lights and didn't want to return to the hotel. To say that after they went out at noon, they never returned to the hotel again, always wandering outside. Xiao Liu Xing felt more tired than fighting a battle with Lu Rui Si, but Xia Chun Tian showed no signs of fatigue, still full of enthusiasm in the evening.
"Brother, hurry up, you're so slow! Brother, you're really lazy, come on, come on! Look at that big and beautiful lamp over there, let's go take a look!" Little Chun Tian shouted excitedly, her hands full of snacks, as she jumped up and down while pointing in the direction ahead. Her clear voice and cute expressions, combined with Xiao Liu Xing's lazy demeanor, made the people around them burst out laughing.
Not far in the direction of Xiaochun Tian's finger, there was a small square with more than a dozen magic lanterns of various shapes and sizes. There were tree-shaped colored lights as tall as adults, cute little monster-shaped colored lights, and even plastic image lights of Emperor Paul. The five-color lights attracted many people to gather around and admire them. Xiaochun Tian was already a bit impatient, and without waiting for Xiao Liuxing's response, she took the lead and walked towards that direction with a skip and a jump. She knew Xiao Liuxing would definitely follow her, so there was no need to worry about anything.
"Hey, Spring, there are two people following us from behind. One look and you can tell they're not good people. How about we teach them a lesson?" Little Flowing Star suddenly transmitted this to Little Spring who was still jumping around, heading towards their next destination after accompanying her for about an hour.
They use the mainland's universal human language, and after learning the universal human language, Xiaoliu Xing decided that in general, they would use the universal human language of this place to avoid arousing other people's suspicion. In fact, the two people behind Xiaoliu Xing had already discovered them, but they were just two low-level thieves with only 2nd-tier strength.
Although they look quite ugly, there is no killing intent on their bodies, indicating that they have not killed anyone, so Xiaoliu Xing also did not prepare to leave them. However, Xia Chun Tian's energy was too good, making Xiaoliu Xing think of other ways to play and at least make herself feel interested in order to shift her attention, so it can only be said that they were unlucky.
When Little Spring heard Little Meteor's words, she immediately stopped in her tracks and nodded quickly with an excited face. Seeing that her two eyes were shining brightly, Little Meteor knew that his plan had succeeded. Those two followers were about 100 meters away from them, pretending to look at the lights, but their occasional glances towards Little Meteor and Little Spring completely revealed their true intentions.
These two people were both young men in their early twenties, one with green hair and the other with black hair. They wore brand new simple warrior clothes, but on their chests hung second-rate thief badges, fully displaying their profession and level. The eyes of these two people were extremely sinister, and they flickered back and forth, it was clear at a glance that they weren't up to any good.
Xiaochun Tian, under the guidance of Xiaoliu Xingxing, especially after the incident with the Hot Blood Mercenary Group, has become much more mature in her thinking. Therefore, she didn't need Xiaoliu Xingxing to point it out, and she quickly found the "bad person" that Xiaoliu Xingxing mentioned using her divine sense.
"Brother, how are we going to deal with them?" Xia Chun Tian discovered the target and ran to Xiao Liu Xing's side in three strides, her eyes shining brightly as she asked softly. Her manner was as if she feared that the two thieves would hear her. This made Xiao Liu Xing feel a bit amused.
"It's simple, let's pretend to be careless and walk to a place where there is no one, give them the opportunity to follow us, and then we'll teach them a lesson." Xiaoliuxing smiled and stroked Xiaochuntian's head, saying slowly. "Hmm, let's go now, hehe" Xiaochuntian heard Xiaoliuxing's words and couldn't wait to pull Xiaoliuxing away, just as she had already found a good location with her divine sense.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, as soon as Little Meteor and his friends started walking, those two thieves who were pretending to look at the lights immediately followed them. And they were very happy in their hearts, having lived in this city for a long time, they were extremely familiar with the streets, and at a glance, they could see that the direction Little Meteor and his friends were heading was a dead end, where there were basically no people.
It's just in time to take action. They had actually set their sights on Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian a long time ago, and they noticed them when the two moved into that hotel. At that time, they happened to be drinking in the hotel and saw that the two children had booked the best room here, and immediately took out 10 gold coins as a deposit, definitely a wealthy owner.
They were originally members of the Feng Lang gang, an underground organization in this city. They immediately thought of robbing Xiao Liu Xing and his friends. Every city has its own underground gangs, and De La City is no exception. The Feng Lang gang is one of the three largest gangs in this city. As the saying goes, "big brother's umbrella is good for hiding from the rain." Under the protection of this gang, these two thieves, who were still young, had done all sorts of bad things except for murder, such as robbery, theft, and kidnapping. They could be called the true "local snakes" in this city.
Because they were afraid of the petty thieves, there must be someone protecting them in secret, so they never made a move and didn't have the chance to do so. With their abilities, they didn't dare to rob openly, especially on this special day when there were fewer people around; if there were more people, it would be easy for some kind-hearted individuals to appear.
As long as these people take the lead, others will easily follow suit and they can't afford it. So they can only observe secretly whether Xiaoliu Xing has any protective personnel on the one hand, and look for opportunities to make a move on the other hand.
According to their experience, although they knew very early on that the little meteorites had no protective personnel at all and were certain that there were only two children, but they never had the opportunity. Xia Chun Tian was extremely fond of excitement and would run wherever people gathered, so they could only stand by and watch, following them all the way until now. "It's not easy," they thought to themselves.
Seven twists and eight turns, Little Spring led Little Flowing Star to walk excitedly forward. The destination was not far away, so they arrived quickly. It was a relatively dark place, formed by the walls of two families. Because the lights of the two families were a little far from the wall, it seemed a bit dark here. Little Flowing Star and Little Spring had just walked to the entrance of the alley, but hadn't gone in yet, when the two thieves quickly darted out. Each person was holding a shiny dagger in their hand.
"Little guy, quick, go inside, don't make a sound, or I'll kill you, did you hear?" The young man with black hair, one of the two people, after blocking Little Flowing Star and Little Spring Day, waved the dagger in his hand while using a low and menacing tone to roar at the two. Although he looked very fierce, Little Flowing Star still saw excitement in his eyes.
She exchanged a glance with Xiaochun Tian, telling her to hold back for now and not show too much excitement. Then she pulled her along, silently walking into the alley. The two thieves saw Xiaoliu Xing so cooperative and were also delighted, exchanging a glance before following Xiaoliu Xing into the alley with shining eyes. Xiaoliu Xing and Xiaochun Tian had completely sealed their true yuan since entering the city, so in their eyes, they were just two ordinary kids. There was no need to worry about anything, so their expressions were very relaxed.
After walking about twenty steps to the center of the alley, Xiaoliu stopped and turned his back on the two thieves. He stopped, and Xiao Chun also stopped, and the excitement that had been suppressed finally burst out at this moment. It was just because she was also facing away from the two thieves, so they couldn't see her, otherwise they would definitely be surprised.
Originally, in their minds, they were going to wait until the two little rascals walked to the end of the alley before robbing them. Unexpectedly, they stopped halfway and after being stunned for a moment, they returned to normal. The two little rascals are the same wherever they go to rob.
"Hey, little..." It was still the black-haired young man who spoke up, but before he could say the words "guy", they suddenly discovered that one of the two children, a girl, let out a soft cry and then jumped high towards them, estimated to be over 2 meters! And while jumping, she performed a 360-degree body spin. Originally, she was facing away from the two, but after spinning 360 degrees in mid-air, she ended up behind them, with her back to the small spring day.
Xiaochun Tian's jump was well-controlled, and after completing a flip in mid-air, she landed just behind the two thieves, about 50 centimeters away. While still in mid-air, before landing, Xiaochun Tian first kicked the black-haired youth who was standing on her right side with her right foot, sending him flying towards Xiao Liuxing. Then, borrowing momentum, she quickly turned around again and kicked the green-haired thief who was still stunned on the other side.
Due to Xiaoliuxing's special training, Xiaochuntian's physical quality was not as abnormal as Xiaoliuxing himself, but even without using true yuan, whether it was jumping force or strength, he was much stronger than those who practiced Iron Shirt and Lightness Skills. When she kicked them head-on, the two young thieves both spat out a mouthful of blood in an instant.
