Chapter 170: Shadow of the Blade

The towering mountains are connected together like a long dragon lying on the ground. Trees grow among the mountains, and you can't see what is happening on the ground even if you look down at the ground from above the sky. The shadows kept shuttling through the woods, and the apes kept wandering back and forth with great agility. In the midst of this lush forest is the world of these monkeys, whose strong hind limbs leap violently, stretch out their long arms and pop forward, and immediately grasp the thick trunks of the trees, which roam rapidly under the action of inertia, and these trees not only cannot stop these nimble monkeys, but also become a springboard for these monkeys to shuttle.

This area like a coiled dragon lying on the ground is the base camp of demon beasts, and now Sun Wukong is seriously injured and dying, and the entire area is firmly blocked, not only these monkeys, but also many animals are shuttling wildly. From time to time, a small pit was dug out of the ground, and small heads emerged from under the ground, which were just rats.

These rats have a very anthropomorphic expression on their cheeks, and their eyes are full of agility. At the moment of turning out of the land, the noses of these little mice are constantly twitching, and they look extremely cute and delicate. But it is these rats that do not seem to have the slightest offensive power, but they are extremely powerful resistance to the assassination of Sun Wukong. These rats are all the elite of the rat clan, and although each of them does not have strong strength, their sense of smell has been specially trained. A small mouse can smell whether there are any living things in the air within a mile of radius, and even the breath of all living beings! Beneath the ground of this mountainous area, it has been forged into an underground kingdom by these countless rats. Countless rats are constantly shuttling in this kingdom, monitoring the environment of the entire area every second, even if it is a mosquito flying in. These rats can also tell whether the mosquito is male or female, and then investigate all the life of the mosquito according to the mosquito's breath!

There are countless monkeys shuttling through the woods, and countless rats under the ground are constantly guarding back and forth, but this is not all the defense methods of the monster army! If you look closely, you will notice that every once in a while, one of the trees in the forest will shake at a special frequency. It's as if humans are passing on information. These trees that can shake special are the elite of the demon clan, and they all belong to the twisted tree spirit Mao Kai. Without noticing, they look like ordinary trees, but when they shake up, they are all creatures!

And in the middle of this wood. It's not just the trees that are the eyes of Mokai. It could be a small flower that is not inconspicuous at all, or it could be a small grass swaying in the wind on the ground, or even a leaf slowly falling in the air, all of these could be scouts set up by Maokai! When these plants don't move, these plants barely show any flaws, but when they move, they spread information!

In this area, the two demon beasts have laid a net of heaven and earth. Not just all kinds of plants, but even ants on the ground. Even the butterflies in the air, or even the industrious bees, can be scouts of the demon beast races! The horror of the demon beast clan is here, as long as it is a creature or a plant, it may be a spy of the demon beast clan, but in this forest, these animals and plants seem to be pervasive!

Several monkeys wandered through the woods, perhaps tired, and one of them landed on a tree, then reached out and pulled down a lesson apple from the tree, wiped it on his body, and put it in his mouth. It looked like a very ordinary thing that happens every day in the woods, but in fact, after eating the apple, the monkey opened its legs and continued to wander towards the depths of the jungle, and as the monkey left, the tree grew shoots rapidly, and then blossomed and bore fruit in less than a minute, and a red apple appeared on the treetop again!

What is going on in this forest is not the assassination of Sun Wukong, but a contest between lurking and discovering! The trees and monkeys searched the woods in order to find the enemies who were hiding in the shadows, and then send out a message to kill the enemies without any recklessness. And those assassins hiding in the shadows If they want to kill Sun Wukong, they must avoid every scout hidden in the shadows, and hide from every goblin hidden in many trees, only in this way will they not expose themselves and be able to lurk around Sun Wukong! It's a contest between wisdom and observation, and whoever is discovered first will be eliminated directly!

The so-called you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. The defense of the two clans of monsters and beasts can be said to be like a net of heaven and earth, but those assassins who want to assassinate Sun Wukong are like water droplets, using various methods to quietly infiltrate between the gaps in this defense, and finally lurk where they want to go! The fruit on the tree had just grown, and one hand reached into the air, grabbed the fruit directly in his hand, and then chewed it a few times, and the core of the fruit was spit out.

Xiao ran's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on the tree, his eyes half-closed and half-open, as if he was listening carefully to something. After a while, Xiao Chao's eyes suddenly opened, and then his palm shook at an extremely terrifying speed! Like a bee moving forward at full speed, Xiao Chao's palms can make a buzzing sound even when they shake. In just a few seconds, Xiao Chao let go of his hand, and then with a slight step, he fell from the tree.

Xiao Chao's body fell in the air, and in an instant, it fell to the ground. But a strange scene happened, the moment Xiao Chao landed, the grass on the ground did not tremble, and even could continue to sway with the wind. The ground on the ground did not leave any traces of trampling, as if it had no weight. Xiao Chao seems to be a person who does not exist in this world, the wind can continue to blow through Xiao Chao's body without changing its direction, and the grass will not change any trajectory because of Xiao Chao's existence. It was as if these objects had penetrated Xiao Chao's body and entered another dimension.

Xiao Chao glanced around, and then his body began to slowly sink into the ground! This extremely hard land seems to have turned into a terrifying swamp at this time. After a while, Xiao Chao's body was devoured cleanly. After Xiao Chao disappeared, the grass was still shaking slightly, and the trees were still continuing to grow fruits, and even the ground where Xiao Chao disappeared did not leave any traces, as if everything that happened just now was an illusion, as if Xiao Chao had never appeared.

But the moment Xiao Chao disappeared, a monkey wandered from a distance. With a wave of his hand, he landed in the position where Xiao Chao was standing just now, and there was no deviation in the slightest. Then the monkey stretched out his hand and plucked the fruit from the tree as if in a hurry. If you look closely, you'll find out. When the monkey picked the fruit, the palm of his hand turned a few arcs slightly, and then the fruit fell into the monkey's hand and swallowed it as quickly as chaos. The monkey opened its mouth. A pit is spit out.

The kernel drew an arc in the sky, and the moment it landed on the ground, a small claw stretched out from the ground and took the kernel directly in his hand. The whole process didn't even see the body of the little mouse under the ground, just stretched out its claws, and then disappeared without a trace, without any time interval in between! When the rat disappeared, the monkey also pressed his hand on the tree. The palm of his hand also trembled slightly, and the moment he took it away in front of the monkey. The rats on the ground actually burrowed into the ground!

This series of processes is the confirmation of the security password between the two clans of demon beasts! Whether it is the place where the monkey lands, the way the fruit is picked, or even the direction and force of the throwing of the kernel, or even the position of the tree, there must be no difference in any of these places! Only in this way can we receive the message! And in the combination lock tightly knit together in this song, Xiao Chao is like a ghost, constantly shuttling through the gaps in it!

This gap could be either a monkey, or a mouse, or even a tree's feedback fluttering! Xiao Chao kept shuttling through the woods, constantly shuttling at an extremely average speed, and every time he received the message delivered from it at the right time! This is a calculation that is accurate to the extreme, and this is a terrifying strength that cannot be deviated from in any way!

After more than three hours, Xiao Chao's body had once again left the huge woods and appeared in a dark cavern. This cave is relatively wide, with a full area of more than ten square meters, and in the center of this cave, a beam of fire is constantly shaking. A young man wearing a mask is quietly adding firewood to the campfire.

Xiao Chao slowly seeped out from under the ground like a ghost, and when all the bodies appeared, even if they were as powerful as Xiao Chao, they let out a long breath. This feeling of not daring to relax at all made Xiao Chao's mental power extremely concentrated and made Xiao Chao extremely tired. Today's investigation has been completed, and Xiao Chao is finally able to take a break.

Tyrone spun the stick on the campfire, and a fat rabbit that had been roasted had been roasted to a browned color, and the fat gathered on the rabbit's body, and then he could not bear his weight and fell into the campfire, causing the flames to screech with a screeching sound. Under the emitting of oil, the whole cave was filled with an alluring aroma, and Tyrone calmly took out some bottles and cans, and then sprinkled them on the rabbit meat very evenly, and then handed them to Xiao Chao.

Xiao Lan took the rabbit meat and glanced at it, and said with a casual smile: "I really don't see that you still have this kind of skill, if this is a peaceful era, you are definitely an extremely good cook." Although he laughed at Tyrone, Xiao Chao's mouth did not stop, and he didn't care about the heat of the rabbit meat, so he put it directly in his mouth. Xiao Ran's praise of this Tyrone is really not wrong, the tender rabbit meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the softness of the fat can be felt on the tongue, which makes Xiao Ran's eating extremely happy.

Tyrone didn't care about Xiao Chao's teasing at all, from the time he saw Xiao Chao, Tyrone had already sued Xiao Chao, he had been a street child since he was a child, and since he had a memory, he accepted the skill of killing. This way of roasting meat is actually a kind of survival in the wild, after all, only delicious things can be eaten more, and eat more. It means that you can wait longer, and you can have more opportunities to kill more enemies. Tyrone has been rampant in the Demon Beast Realm for several years. All kinds of animals have been eaten, and Tyrone knows even more about how to cook these animals and how to cook them, and how to know the bodies of these animals than they do themselves. Coupled with Tyrone's powerful control and observation of flames, he is naturally able to cook delicious food.

It has been three full days since Xiao Chao and Tyrone converged, and in these three days, Xiao Chaos has already felt Tyrone's temperament clearly, and Tyrone's past. Xiao Chao naturally knows it clearly. Tyrone originally had a partner, Yasuo, the sword of the wind, but Yasuo had died in the battle that year. This Tyrone has been alone ever since. Rampant in this realm of monsters full of crises all year round, no one can say what is in their hearts, and every minute and every second has to tense their nerves, this terrible loneliness can be said to be worse than when Xiao Chao was in the city of zombies. Xiao Chao, who had the same experience, naturally knew Tyrone's loneliness. And the heart that has long been closed into a prison.

At that moment, Xiao Chao didn't pay attention to Tyrone's silence, but said to himself: "Someone succeeded again yesterday, according to the intelligence, that assassin didn't know when he had lurked by Sun Wukong's side, and then used a little toxin every day. If it weren't for Soraka's terrifying observation, I'm afraid that in a few more days, this Monkey King might be directly poisoned, but even so, this Monkey King's injury would be in vain. Now here's our chance. It is said that Soraka has already exhausted too much energy and will faint if the treatment continues. So you have to take a break. And this time there is a full seven days of rest! These seven days are our chance, without Soraka's treatment, Sun Wukong is the meat on the board, as long as he blows lightly, he can take away his last life! ”

Although Tyrone dealt with Xiao Chao for the first time, Noxus was a city built with Xiao Chao as the core, whether it was Xiao Tu Shen who led the army training or Ximen Liuli who was in charge of a qiē matter, all of them were Xiao Chao's brainless fans, and Tyrone, as the number one assassin in Noxus, naturally knew Xiao Chao very well about the legendary characters like Xiao Chao. With the secret art of the five elements, the ability to integrate himself into the space without being discovered by other creatures, and even the ability to crack the other party's password from the frequency between heaven and earth, and even blend into the other party's password to become a spy, these Tyrone all believe that Xiao Chao can do it perfectly.

It's just that Tyrone is an assassin, and the rule of the assassin is to strike a single blow! It can be prepared for up to ten years, and it can be used countless times to understand the details of the opponent's qiē, and then show its fangs at the most critical moment, deliver a fatal blow to the opponent, and kill the opponent directly with just one blow, this is Tyrone's code of conduct! An assassin is an arrow, and if you open a bow, you can't turn back, so you must be completely in your hands before you can act.

Tyrone's brows furrowed slightly, and finally he couldn't help but ask Xiao Chao: "I have doubts about the accuracy of your situation, although you found out this news from the enemy's inside, but if the people who spread this information even hide their own people." The two demon beasts have a large population, and they can lose all the scouts, but they can't miss Sun Wukong. ”

Xiao Lan frowned, and then sighed and said, "I also understand what you said, but you must also know that there are only two possibilities for this matter." The first is that this is true, and Soraka has reached the point where he must rest, so he will reveal a flaw, and it will last for seven days. The second situation is that this is a trap in itself, whether it is Sokala or the beginning of the Monkey King, it is intact, this is completely a cage jumping into it to die. ”

"If it's the first case, then this is an opportunity, based on the fact that Soraka can't continue to heal the situation, and Sun Wukong will really enter a time without treatment. Maybe Soraka lied, it doesn't need to rest for seven days, and even Soraka only needs to rest for a day, or even just a few seconds, but there is a vacuum period in these few seconds, and this vacuum period is our chance to kill Sun Wukong! ”

"The second situation is that this is completely a scam, whether it is Sun Wukong or Soraka, there are no flaws, it is completely a self-directed and self-acted scene, luring us assassins to assassinate Sun Wukong. But there is an assumption in this, if you want to lure us, you need a bait. And this bait must be Sun Wukong himself, because only if we believe that Sun Wukong is there, we will jump into the trap. And if this is really a trap, it is impossible for the two demon beast races to take the future of the entire race. Using the Monkey King representing a qiē as a bait, the only possibility is that the Monkey King is not dangerous even if he is used as a bait! And as a bait, you have to absorb the hatred and attacks of all of us, and if there is no danger, only Sun Wukong has recovered! ”

Xiao Lan took a deep breath before continuing: "Whether it is the first or the second, we have reached the point where it is imperative. Because if it's the first one, then this is our last chance. And if it's the second. Although the restored Monkey King is powerful, there are still so many people hiding in the shadows, if we give Sun Wukong time to prepare. Then we won't have the ability to turn over! So whether this battle is Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to go through it. ”

Tyrone gave Xiao Chao a deep look, but this time he didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. But Xiao Chao knew. That's just a gentle nod. Tyrone has put his life in his own hands! Tyrone believes in his own judgment, no matter whether it is Longtan or Tiger's Den ahead, as long as Xiao Chao says that he wants to break through, this Tyrone will not hesitate to rush over! Regardless of his life and death, he doesn't take his life seriously, this Tyrone completely uses himself as a weapon!

And as a killing weapon, Tyrone is undoubtedly the sharpest. As long as this dagger hidden in the shadows is unsheathed, it will inevitably splatter three feet of blood. Inevitably, there will be a creature falling on the spot! But as a weapon with feelings, Tyrone is also sad, because Tyrone has his own emotions, and in the process of killing, there may be pity, maybe there will be unbearable, and even the confusion about the fragile death of life! But Tyrone can't dodge, because he's positioned himself as a knife! What Tyrone can decide is only to put his knife in whose hands, and the rest can only be borne by himself.

When the knife is unsheathed, Tyrone can't slack off any feelings, maybe he has feelings, but he can only close his heart, and use his blade to block an obstacle in front of him. After the killing, Tyrone may be confused, may feel sorry for himself, or even unwilling to live, or even want to end his escape. But as a knife, Tyrone can only lick his wounds in the shadows, and with his own understanding, he can tolerate his cranky heart. Because a knife should not have a mind of its own, if there is, it means that the knife has been dulled, and a dull knife is destined to be abandoned, buried, and become waste! And Tyrone, not willing to be that abandoned waste!

I can only lick my wounds, I can only think about my own crankiness, when the blade is unsheathed, the killing will continue, no matter how much my heart is already full of wounds, I still have to let the person holding this knife be artificially shocked! Tyrone doesn't know how to express his feelings, so Tyrone can only care about others in his own way, and the best love for Tyrone may just be the life of the person he cares about. And the best defense is offense, Tyrone claims to be the shadow of the blade, everyone thinks that this is Tyrone wants to tell the world, the person holding him will stand forever, but who knows, what Tyrone wants is only if the other party falls, he can also be by the other party's side as a shadow.

The shadow of the blade, the indifferent knife, the lonely shadow. Very proud, but also absolutely lonely. Because Tyrone doesn't need anyone's attention, he is just a wolf, locking himself in his own small space, not allowing anyone to enter, let alone going out to see the sun, just lying by the window very childishly, looking enviously at those who are swimming in the light through his own gap.

Tyrone really wanted to walk into the sunshine and walk on the ground like those people, but Tyrone knew that because of his strength, no one would be close to his heart. They are afraid, they are afraid! They feared that Tyrone would show his blade and take their lives with the Hidden Arrow that had killed an unknown number of people! They are humble, they are terrified! They bent down to show respect to Tyrone, but they never accepted Tyrone in their hearts.

Tyrone is really arrogant, because he is not willing to let go of his arrogance and communicate with people with the same kind of depression as everyone else. So he put on a mask, closed his face, and used a maverick to express that he didn't need friends! Yes, you can have no friends, but you still can't lose your pride! I'd rather be alone, and I would never let go of my posture to cater to others!

But in fact, Tyrone is having low self-esteem, maybe more, but he doesn't want his blade to hurt the people around him. I have received an education to kill people since I was a child, I don't know how to get along with others, I don't know how to express it, and I am afraid that I will make others unhappy and let others be hurt. Really, I don't want to hurt all the people who want to get close to me, I don't want to hurt all the people who care about me. So since this is the case, then don't get close, as long as you silently pull out the blade to protect them, the knife, you don't need your own feelings.

Xiao Chao looked at Tyrone in front of him, as if he saw his former self. When Xiao Chao became a superpower, in order to protect the people around him, Xiao Chao chose to stay away from them, not let them enter his own world, and not let them enter danger. Because of this, Xiao Chao missed too much, Wei Wei, Qi Jing, Zhao Ying, Ximen Amber, Sivana, Ximen Liuli .......

Xiao Lan stood up, and suddenly said to Tyrone with a smile: "I once read a book called the pride of inferiority. Because there is something missing in my heart, I desperately pretend not to care, desperately express my disdain, and even show a form of disgust. Because of low self-esteem, I don't know if I can protect it, so I can only put on a proud look, and then desperately resist those who want to get close to me. Tyrone, in this world, all the people you can hurt are those who care about you, and your temper hurts all the people you can hurt, after all, no one will be hurt because of people who don't care. Xiao Chao stretched out his hand, and the light of the bonfire flickered and dimmed.

Tyrone's eyes kept changing, but in the end, he didn't stretch out his hand to Xiao Chao after all, but just turned around lightly and turned the rabbit meat in his hand again. However, Xiao Chao saw that the piece of meat that Tyrone turned over had already been burned. The black flesh seemed to be Tyrone's heart, and as long as a little heat was added, it would peel off, revealing the fresh tender meat ...... as white as jade. (To be continued......)
