Who the snow demon fox is and what it represents has always puzzled me.

But I can't ask now, the only thing I can make old Ito scruple about now is the relationship between me and the snow demon fox that doesn't exist, once this secret is revealed, I will lose all my advantages, and it is unpredictable where things will develop.

Ito and I have been delaying for so long, maybe we are waiting for Ye Xun to appear.

The old devil Ito couldn't ask anything, and Ye Xun didn't appear for a long time, and the uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. Whoever has insufficient confidence in the negotiation will fall into disadvantage, but I really don't have the confidence to argue with the old devil now.

Ito Mingchuan said with a smile: "Mr. Wang Huan, as a senior, I should remind you that when you are constantly interrupted, emotionality is a taboo for superiors. The heirs of His Excellency the Snow Demon Fox are a little disappointing!"

I said coldly, "I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. If you have a fart, let it go. ”

Akikawa Ito said leisurely: "I still say that as an excellent person, you must know how to weigh and make trade-offs. Giving up the best interests for something trivial is not a qualified leader. ”

"Actually, you know very well in your heart that cooperating with me is the most beneficial thing. However, there is always some national complex in your heart. Unwilling to join forces with me. If you think about it carefully, how many of the Japanese businessmen who are investing in China today are not descendants of the Imperial Army, and how many of their partners do not have a common enmity with the Imperial Army? Sometimes, interests can dissolve hatred, are you right?"

I was about to open my mouth to refute, but Lu Xinyao waved her hand lightly in front of my eyes: "Don't do a battle of words first, it's good for us to cooperate with him." ”

I raised my voice and said, "Old devil, how do you want to cooperate?"

Ito Akikawa said: "I sent Maka to lead three samurai to follow you and continue deep into the flat heavenly sea, and I will take people to cover you with all my might." Wait until the periphery of Pinghaitian, and we will meet again. ”

The condition given by the old devil Ito is within the acceptable range, Ito Maka only brings three people, even if he turns against us, I have the strength to fight, at least I will not be beaten passively.

As for what will happen after I get to the Black Wind Pass, I can't think about it that much for the time being.

I raised my voice and said, "You ask Maka Ito to come over." ”

"Let's go over!" Ito Akikawa said after letting people come out of the cave: "Mr. Wang Huan, in order to show my sincerity, I can walk out of the cave half an hour after you leave, and I don't want the intrigue to happen again in our cooperation." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you don't move your heart first, I won't do it. I stood up and nodded to Yin Teng Zhenxiang, who led the person over: "Your subordinates can all speak Chinese, right? For the sake of happy cooperation, I hope you can always speak Chinese." ”

Maka Ito said, "Please believe in the credit of the Ito family." ”

I smiled faintly and said nothing, turning around and walking along the edge of the trench towards the depths of the Pingtian Sea.

It was only then that I realized that the winding trench seemed to have no end, almost running through the entire Pingtianhai, and although the inside of the trench had been reborn with weeds and collapsed in many places, the edges could clearly see the traces of artificial excavation.

I couldn't see the real effect of this trench for a while, so I could only follow the trench all the way forward, and I walked for about three or four hundred meters before I saw a palm print on the trunk of a tree out of the corner of my eye.

The palm print slapped obliquely into the trunk of the tree and then entered the wood for three points, which shows how hard the palm was at that time, and the bark around the palm print was also shaken away, from the size of the palm I can't tell whether it is Ye Xun's hand, but the footprints on the ground are exactly the same as the lines of Ye Xun's sole.

Ye Xun has fought with someone here?

I circled the tree twice, except for Ye Xun's footprints on the ground, I couldn't find any traces left by others, and the two palm prints left by Ye Xun were all in the place where a normal person was waist, indicating that his opponent was very short, could it be that Ye Xun encountered a beast here?

No, if it were a wild beast, it would have left scratches and stuff like that, so why was there no clue around the trunk?

Ye Xun fell into a hallucination?

As soon as this idea came out of my head, I chuckled in my heart, no one woke up Ye Xun, no matter how high his ability was, he would suffer.

I didn't have time to greet the others, so I ran all the way down Ye Xun's footprints, until I got into the depths of the woods and saw the two words "Feng Shui" that Ye Xun left on a tree

What does Ye Xun mean? He asked me to see Feng Shui?

Before I could figure out what was going on, Lu Xinyao, who had caught up, raised his gun and pointed in the direction of a big tree: "There's something over there." ”

When I followed Lu Xinyao's gaze, the first thing I saw was blood flowing everywhere along the direction of the roots of the tree, if no one behind the tree was disemboweled, or the head was cut off, there would never be so much flow.

Who's behind the tree?

I felt chills all over my body, my hand shaking slightly, and in just a few steps I felt my legs go limp, and I almost wanted to stop and not look behind the tree.

Although I didn't get along with Ye Xun much, I regarded him as a relative, as a brother who shared life and death, if Ye Xun also died.

I really don't know, what will happen if I see Ye Xun's bloody corpse?

If Ye Xun is really dead, even if he sets fire to Ping Tianhai, he will send all those who harmed him to make amends to Ye Xun.

As I walked behind the tree, Lu Xinyao came up from behind and gently grabbed my arm. I had a little bit to rely on in my heart, but I didn't even have the heart to nod to him, and dragged my weak legs step by step to the back of the tree.

When I turned the treetops, I saw a skinned roe deer hanging from the treetops, and the blood was falling from the roe deer before it had dried up, and although there was a branch stuck in the throat of the roe deer, it did not cut its throat, until I saw it, it was still convulsing.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and my legs seemed to be unable to support the weight of my body, and in an instant I squatted on the ground limply. Lu Xinyao pulled out a dagger from me, raised his knife and cut the throat of the roe deer, and before the roe deer died, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

Lu Xinyao said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone else in this wood?"

I understood what Lu Xinyao meant, and suddenly said with a little displeasure: "Ye Xun won't do this kind of thing, and besides, he doesn't have time to skin the roe deer." ”

Lu Xinyao said: "That is, Ye Xun fought with the person who hunted roe deer, will there be anyone else in this forest sea?"

I was stunned for a moment, wild beasts will not hang roe deer on trees, let alone skin them before eating.

However, all the people who entered the Ping Tianhai have been blocked by the old devil Ito, who else is here besides us?

Ito Maka hurried to the bottom of the tree in a few steps: "Mr. Wang Huan, I have to regret to tell you that the person who peeled off the roe deer skin should be your friend." ”

Maka Ito pointed to the roe deer without skin: "You can see for yourself, the skin of the roe deer was not completely peeled off, but only a few large pieces were cut, and there were knife marks on the edges of the wound, and the knife edge was very smooth, indicating that the person who did it was a master of using a knife." And ......"

Ito Maka compared the height of the roe deer with her hand: "This height is just the most suitable position for Ye Xun to peel the skin by hand, except for Ye Xun, I really can't think of who will do it." I think ......"

Ito Maka paused for a moment before saying, "Ye Xun may have been seriously injured. ”

"Peel the skin!" my head buzzed.

There is a saying in the northeast that if a person who drives the mountain is injured in the mountain, especially if he is seriously injured such as opening his belly, the best way is to find a living creature, whether he is a pheasant or a rabbit, and peel off the skin alive, while the skin is still hot, directly stick to the wound, you can keep covering the vitality, the vitality will not disperse, and the person can hold on for a while, maybe you can stand up and not die, and pick up a life.

I don't know if there is any scientific basis for this statement, but the first thing that came to my mind was "peeling the skin and dressing the wound".

I stood up and was about to look for someone nearby, but one of Ito Maka's subordinates said, "Where are you going......?"

I raised my hand and punched the opponent's chest, although I didn't charge up in advance, but this punch was angry, the force on the fist exceeded the usual several times, the opponent dodged, raised his right arm to protect his chest, my punch hit the opponent's arm firmly, the person also flew upside down a few meters and fell to the ground in the sound of cracking bones.

I just felt that my right hand was in severe pain, and the other party was also clutching his deformed arm and screaming, he should have something like an iron arm guard on his arm, otherwise there would be no metal-like bending.

"Kurokawa ......" Ito Maka's two subordinates pulled out their weapons and pounced on me in exclamation, but Ito Maka shouted: "Stop!"

Maka Ito stepped forward and said, "Mr. Wang Huan, I can understand your feelings, but it is too much to treat partners like this. ”

I pulled out my sword and pointed at Ito Maka: "Lao Tzu, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, either get out or die." ”

After Lu Xinyao staggered a step from me, he assumed a defensive posture in response to me.

Ito Maka said angrily: "Wang Huan, I am cooperating now, no matter what you want to do, should you ask for the opinions of your collaborators?"

I was furious in my heart, and I forcibly maintained my sanity and said, "Ito Maka, I have to say that your subordinates are looking for their own death. I didn't kill anyone, I've already given you enough face, if you want to continue the cooperation, you'd better get out of the way, and if, if you want to terminate the cooperation, it's a big deal to try it. Come ......"
