Chapter 41: A Master of the World
Zheng Yuan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, didn't know when he fell asleep, and after only sleeping for an hour, he was disturbed by the commotion beside him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the shadow wolf was looking down at him with that ugly face, and an unusually long hand was untying the bandages on his face.
"What are you doing, Shadow Wolf?"
Shadow Wolf said with a salivating look on the corners of his mouth, "I can't wait to see my work!" ”
Zheng Yuan was a little unhappy that he was treated as a work, but since surviving last night's desperate situation, he has somewhat increased his trust in Shadow Wolf, a simple-minded and perverted guy, and his opinion of him has risen from a tool to an assistant. In addition, he wanted to know what had become of himself under the bandage, so he let him unravel it slowly.
"The general skin is definitely not suitable for Brother Zheng Yuan, so I made a special one for Big Brother!" The bandage that was untied fell under the seat, and the shadow wolf suddenly covered his mouth excitedly and cried "woo", Zheng Yuan thought something was wrong, but he suddenly shouted: "It's perfect, this is a work of art!" ”
"Mirror!"
Zheng Yuan took a mirror from the subordinate who was driving, and when he saw his face, he threw it at the shadow wolf. The latter did not resist except for his eyes closed, and although his face was covered in blood, he still maintained the proud expression of having completed a great work.
Zheng Yuan's clenched hand couldn't help but tremble, because in the mirror he saw that the face of his whole body was actually sewn with different skins, like patches one by one, and the seams were sloppily sewn with black threads. Not only that, but his whole body was pieced together with pieces of skin, and there was actually a belly button on his shoulder.
"A work of art?" Zheng Yuan roared, and the subordinate who was driving saw his face in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but tremble all over, "This look, how do you tell me to see people!" ”
The shadow wolf looked like a child who had done something wrong, curling up his unusually long arms in front of his chest, revealing a look of grievance.
"Forget it!" Zheng Yuan let out a long sigh, grabbed his clothes and draped them on his body, and lay back on his seat. He was thinking that his group had suffered such a fiasco, and it had to be said that it was his responsibility, and now this dignity should be regarded as a sign of humiliation for the time being.
The scenery outside the car quickly sped backwards, and after a long silence, the shadow wolf scratched his bald scalp with his only remaining right hand: "Brother Zheng Yuan!" ”
"Huh?"
"Why do you want to kill those demons, there are a large part of them that Brother Zheng Yuan can't eat?"
"Idiot!" Zheng Yuan smiled contemptuously, "I have such an ability, do I still need to make my body stronger?" I just need the prototypes of those demons to refine new demons! ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown, although the hunt had been quite successful all along, and he had killed nearly fifty demons, but refining had never succeeded once. Is it the way? Obviously not, he can 100% guarantee that his method is correct, the problem should be in the material.
"Why do you want to refine your kind?" Shadow Wolf asked, puzzled.
"I need companions!" With his eyes fixed on the roof of the car, Zheng Yuan replied lightly.
"Is Brother Zheng Yuan lonely?"
Zheng Yuan smiled at Shadow Wolf's ignorant speculation: "Of course not, Shadow Wolf, do you know 'that place'?" Legend has it that after a demon devours a thousand demons, it will enter there! It's hard to survive there on your own. ”
"Why go in if it's so dangerous?"
"You don't understand, there is a thing called the ultimate, and that is the ultimate of demons! So I need companions, companions who are both credible, strong, and obedient! ”
"Am I not?" The shadow wolf pointed blankly at his nose.
Zheng Yuan glanced at him and smiled contemptuously: "You are not strong enough!" ”
The shadow wolf understood Zheng Yuan's laughter as kindness, and also laughed silly. Zheng Yuan fell into a short thought, in his hundred-year-long life, money and power were no longer things worth spending energy and time to plot, what he pursued was a more ultimate existence. Shadow Wolf's tiny head must not be able to comprehend his ideals.
"Shadow Wolf, hurry up and fix your left hand, go back to the headquarters, there are still a bunch of things to deal with!"
When the two returned to headquarters, they did have "a bunch of things" to deal with. Zheng Yuan trembled into the messy headquarters, picked up the collar of one of his subordinates and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Yes...... Someone came to sneak up on ......"
"Who?"
"No...... I don't know...... A total of five batches of ...... came."
When Zheng Yuan suffered a crushing defeat in H City, his headquarters in C City was also attacked by demons, and the number of dead and wounded under his men exceeded 100, and the entire company was turned into a ruin.
Just as predicted in the casual chat of several people, Worm Ting pulled Zheng Yuan down from the altar of absolute defense, and the demons who had always had a deep hatred for him took this opportunity to launch a crazy bloodbath.
"Brother Zheng Yuan, I'll help you sit down!" The shadow wolf came over with a smirk, and several subordinates who were bent over watched this scene with sweat, now Zheng Yuan has been furious to the extreme, this idiot shadow wolf still dares to step forward, is he not afraid of being angered to his head?
But Zheng Yuan didn't mean to be angry, he sat down in vain and waved his hand weakly: "Get out!" This time he was really tired, and he couldn't even get the strength to be angry.
The subordinates retreated in turn, only one of them stayed there tremblingly, Zheng Yuan didn't look at him, only said: "Is there anything else?" ”
"Boss, there's something I want to show you!" The subordinate shuddered and presented a glass bottle containing a black soft object that was constantly wriggling, and a pair of tiny horns loomed over the head of the mass.
Zheng Yuan's face suddenly changed: "This is ......"
"Boss, this is the No. 48 test piece, that is, the group of Tianyang and Hundred Eyes!"
Zheng Yuan held it excitedly, and seriously looked at the small thing in the bottle that was glowing with vitality, and for the first time in nearly fifty failures, he had successfully refined the demon class.
Under the blows of successive failures, Zheng Yuan saw a faint glimmer of hope from the little black thing that kept wriggling in the bottle. He muttered to himself: "What will be the smelting product of the Heavenly Sheep and the Hundred Eyes, it's really exciting!" ”
"Brother Zheng Yuan, is this little thing our helper?" The shadow wolf pointed his slender fingers at the glass bottle, and the black soft object in the bottle desperately touched his fingertips with the small horns on its head, and the wall of the bottle made a small sound. It seems, this thing is quite aggressive.
"Now, not yet!" Zheng Yuan smiled and took a sip of red wine, "It's too small, Shadow Wolf, wait a minute, ask the people below to prepare some food for it." Grow up, little thing! ”
Zheng Yuan's face showed a gentle smile that was rare to see.
He sat down on the couch, swaying red wine in his hand, "Shadow Wolf, I can make a mistake, but it's not too late to make up for it!" ”
"Will Brother Zheng Yuan also make mistakes?" The Shadow Wolf grinned.
"People are not saints! I may have relied too much on human power all along, but in fact, human power is too weak to be mentioned in front of demons. The reason why our group is still standing is because those of our kind are afraid of my existence...... Now, though, that fear has begun to wane. If you want to make a comeback, it's not very useful to blindly recruit human members......"
"Is Brother Zheng Yuan looking for another demon?"
Zheng Yuan crossed his hands on his knees and smiled slightly: "Yes, what we want to use is the power of demons!" Shadow Wolf, come with me for a long trip, I'm going to find an old friend! ”
"Old friends? Brother Zheng Yuan, are we going to change our plans? ”
"No, it's just a temporary postponement! Let that kid live for a while! ”
"Then what kind of person is Brother Zheng Yuan's old friend, is it very powerful?"
"Hey, it's amazing, it's very powerful......" Zheng Yuan stared at a spot in the void, and the person's face came to mind, "However, he never fights!" ”
Somewhere thousands of miles away, in the dead of night, Zhang Zhang was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes and saw the other party's face, he was so frightened that he covered the quilt on his chest.
"Shhhh
The person who came was his friend Qiu Jiao, and he was extremely surprised and said, "Why are you here with me!" ”
"I'm leaving tomorrow, stay here for ten years, you have been taking care of me, there is really nothing to thank!" Qiu Lao picked up a cloth bag, which was a pack of things wrapped in bedding, "This is my useless toothpaste, this is a few packs of cigarettes that I didn't smoke, and these shoes, you should wear them properly." And this thing, oh, it's hard to get a pornographic magazine, so I'll give it to you, but I've cut out a few photos, so it won't affect it too much. Hey, and the chocolate, it's a miscellaneous brand, but it's still delicious! I'm gone, don't miss me! ”
"You...... How did you get in here! Zhang Li was so surprised that after listening to Qiu Jiao's words, he was still obsessed with this question.
"Walk in with your feet!"
"Hey, Brother Qiu, this is a solitary cell, you walked in with your feet?" The tension crossed his shoulder, and the iron prison door was still intact, could the enemy prison be a magician? No, even magicians can't do that.
"Why bother with such a trivial matter!" Qiu Jian squeezed his eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "Goodbye, my friend, I'll come to see you when I go out, bye!" ”
The voice of "bye-bye" has not disappeared, the enemy prison is gone, Zhang Li stared at the place where he had just stayed, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, what strange spell did he use! What makes tension even more puzzling is why such a person who can disappear out of thin air willingly sit in prison for ten years, why he always endures silently when he is bullied, and he never talks about his past.
Hatred, where is he sacred!
