Space-time Traveler Chapter 3: Hourglass of Time 3
Suzi fish woke up from starvation.
Then he smelled the scent of food coming from outside, and he didn't know what was being cooked, but he smelled the smell of shiitake mushrooms, and he felt his stomach groaning with hunger.
"You are awake."
"Let's eat something." The girl opened the door and walked in, placing a wooden bowl beside Suziyu's bed.
Although he could not understand what the girl said, it did not prevent him from understanding what the other party meant. Su Ziyu got up and took a sip from the bowl, and suddenly felt a warm current rushing from his stomach to his whole body. I finally ate something like what a human eats. The food given by the snake man is the same as pig food. Although the food in front of me is not known what it is made of, the sesame porridge tastes the taste of oatmeal, shiitake mushrooms and meat. This food should have been cooked for a long time, anyway it tasted delicious, or he was too hungry. After a while, he finished a bowl, held the empty bowl and gestured to the girl in front of him a little embarrassingly, and quickly brought another bowl to his convenience.
"Su." Su Ziyu pointed at himself.
"Lina." The girl said a pronunciation similar to ‘Lina’.
The two people looked at each other a little awkwardly for a while. The language barrier was indeed quite troublesome. She quickly turned around and walked out. At the same time, Su Ziyu heard the sound of the lock.
"Huh."
"Finally survived." Su Ziyu felt that she had lost a lot of weight. After touching her belly, she felt that her little belly was gone, and her six-pack abs appeared on her own. He is still in good spirits, so he concentrated his mind on the strange golden hourglass, which should be his only hope for returning home.
During the time he was locked in a cage by the snake man, he was fine and could only concentrate on studying the golden hourglass in the consciousness space. It was a golden hourglass made of glass. There were oak-like brackets on the upper and lower ends. The surface was golden brown. It was engraved with many figures and symbols that he couldn't understand. It was very complicated and felt tired after a while. The most peculiar thing is the gravel, which has never seen luminous sand before, but these gravels will have a layer of golden streamer emerging anytime, and the light they emit is full of dreamlike colors.
Su Ziyu's research results are almost non-existent, but he found that after entering the second world, he seemed to have mastered an extraordinary ability.
When he seized the sword and killed the alien leader, Su Ziyu felt that the flow of time had become extremely slow at that instant, and everything around it seemed to have become a slow-motion movie. He was the only one. Affected by this. That's why he shot faster than the leader of the snake man, and almost completed the process of seizing the sword and killing him in an instant.
"If you want to go home, you can only count on it."
This golden hourglass seems to have the ability to travel through time and space, but this ability is not under the control of the thunderfish. Whenever the golden gravel on it dries up, it will forcibly send him to another world. , And the time to stay in the next world seems to be much longer.
"I don't know if this thing will record coordinates. It would be nice if there are coordinates of the earth on it."
Su Ziyu thought about it for a while, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day.
When he woke up, he heard a sound of ping-pong-pong outside. There was a set of clean clothes beside the bed. The texture was a bit like linen. It was a little bit cold to put it on, so he put on his own outside. Animal skin clothing. The door of the room was not locked today. When he walked out, he happened to see that girl named Linna was practicing against others. He basically didn't know much about swordsmanship, but the other party looked very good. The reaction of the two people in the match is very fast. Su Ziyu can't even see the movements clearly, but they can parry and block the enemy's attack, just like in the movie.
Lina seemed to have seen Su Ziyu too, she stopped, picked up the wooden sword and threw it to him, and then put on an inviting posture.
"I won't..."
Su Ziyu subconsciously reached out to take the sword. He didn't expect to catch it, but he also caught the wound on his back. There was a little bit of pain. He felt that his skills seemed to be much more agile than before. Some eager to try: "Then I will try."
He hasn't learned swordsmanship seriously, but he can still use his sword and slash.
When I was young, I fought a few fights with people. I know how much strength and speed are the key to victory or defeat. Su Ziyu feels that his physical fitness seems to have become stronger. Anyway, the injury on his back is not very painful. I also want to test whether my combat effectiveness has changed. The strange shuttle experience during this period of time tells him that he must improve his own strength if he wants to live, even if it only improves a little, he can increase his hope of living.
Clang.
The girl looked at Su Ziyu's posture holding the sword with interest. Although it did not look very standard, the posture was still very handsome. She circled the Suziyu a few times, and when he couldn't bear to take the shot, she gently blocked it, and then slid forward. The wooden sword was already resting on Suziyu's neck.
"Fuck! Is it so powerful?" Su Ziyu didn't even see the opponent's hands, only felt that the wooden sword was blocked and deviated from the position, and then he had put the sword on his neck for convenience.
This was killed by a spike, right?
He stepped back a little unconvinced and swung the sword again, but suddenly there was a pain in his wrist, and he couldn't hold the wooden sword anymore and fell directly to the ground.
Is this girl so good?
How do you feel that you have no resistance at all in front of her?
In a room not far away, a tall man named Ken was also observing Su Ziyu's movements. He watched for a while and shook his head and said: "He can't fight at all. Let my sister not test him anymore."
Any man in the village is better than him. After all, most of the people in this village are hunters.
Ken turned around and picked up a black short blade, frowning in thought. The young man next to him curiously asked: "Is there anything wrong with this knife?"
Black metal that has never been seen before. The surface of the handle is engraved with a strange snake pattern. This type of weapon is very rare in the north. Ken only saw similar swords when he was out for adventure when he was young. Generally speaking, he used it. People with this kind of weapon are very fast, and some assassins will use such a short blade as a weapon.
Clang.
Ken picked up the black short blade and slashed it against the long sword beside it, then handed it to the young man.
"This..." There was a look of surprise and eagerness on the young man's face. The two weapons were almost intact to the black short blade after being chopped, but the long sword had already appeared a big gap. If you use force, the black short blade is estimated to be able to cut the long sword directly. Ken's long sword is the kind of standard weapon used by the military. The quality can be said to be quite good, but in front of this black short blade, it is cut to pieces. This black short blade is probably of great value.
"I have never seen this kind of black metal." Ken frowned and said: "It's a bit like the legendary black iron."
"No matter what."
"The identity of this foreigner is not simple!"
Su Ziyu's injury recovered very quickly, probably on the third day it was already good.
I don't know whether it was some kind of change in his physique or the medicine that the girl gave him was very effective. However, the experience of suffering during this period of time really made him feel that he has grown a lot. He grew up in the peaceful era without so many opportunities to face life and death decisions, but now he has died several times in the short ten days. In escape, the whole person has undergone some earth-shaking changes.
Even he has also learned swordsmanship, although it is just some of the most basic moves, I am afraid that he can't even perform five moves in Linna's hands.
In the past two days, Ken they stopped restricting Suziyu's activities, and he also met other people in some villages.
What do people in this era say.
They look completely different from those shown on TV. Even with makeup, their weather-beaten faces cannot be brought out. The closest thing to them is the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Most of the men are He has a shaggy beard and a smell of sweat on his body, and he can see his mouthful of big yellow teeth when he opens his mouth. In the whole village, only Linna had teeth as white as Suzi fish, and she was also the only person who would take a bath regularly. This is an unusual behavior in the village. But the people living here are very fierce. Orion accounts for the overwhelming majority. He doesn't know if it is the illusion of Suzi fish. He feels that this village is a bit weird.
Every day he seeks Linna to practice swordsmanship for a while, most of the time he enjoys the process of being abused.
The days are fairly peaceful.
The gravel in the golden hourglass is also decreasing little by little. Suzi fish roughly calculated it. It is estimated that the gravel in the golden hourglass will flow out in six or seven days, and then he will be sent to the next world. .
He wanted to take advantage of this time to improve his ability to survive.
It happens that many people have nothing to do in winter, and Linna doesn't have to go out hunting, so she has time every day to teach him the knowledge of swordsmanship. It's a pity that the two people don't understand the language, otherwise he might be able to learn faster.
"Lina is teaching the stranger "White Crow Swordsmanship"."
"Do you care about this?" The young man's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
Ken raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him. While wiping his sword, he said casually: "That's her business. If you have any questions, please tell her yourself."
The young man's face flushed when he heard this, not because he didn't want to tell Linna, but because he couldn't beat her at all.
He slammed the door and walked out with some dissatisfaction. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Su Ziyu who was practicing with the girl, his eyes a little gloomy. This era is sparsely populated, and young people have a small range of options for finding a spouse. Linna is the most beautiful girl in the village. It is impossible to say that he has no idea. But now she is obviously close to this stranger. Although this stranger is not very strong, he is handsome. Even many women in the village are not as good-looking as him. Linna's attitude towards this stranger makes People feel very upset.
Seeing that the girl is getting closer to the outsiders, he now regrets agreeing to her to bring people back to the village.
