Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 76: Waiting for Infernal Relationship
ββ¦β¦ OK. β
They couldn't tell from this sentence that there was any emotion on the part of Hunt Gongduo, but literally, he did agree.
However, in the next second that Hunt Gongduo agreed, perhaps because his hands were relaxed, Yuting suddenly broke free from his restraints and rushed towards Mu Wan. She thought that the little girl wanted a comforting hug, so she opened her hands like she hugged Ah Luan.
Suddenly, she was viciously pushed away by Yuting.
Shi Wuqi hadn't figured out why the Jade Pavilion was so abnormal, but he immediately got the answer.
At the moment when he turned his head, a thin but powerful arm pierced through the thin body of the Jade Pavilion girl. The withered, blackened arm looked like a twig, stained with bright red and piercing blood.
The blood from the fingertips dripped down and fell into the soil, slowly penetrating, leaving a few small red dots.
Shi Wuqi raised his hand almost instantly, and slashed Young Master Zhang's arm with a single sword. Then a second knife slashed at his chest. Because his center of gravity was a little unstable, he happened to lean back, and his chest was only half sliced. At this moment, a large number of strange black insects erupted from the cracks, like swarms of flies or bees, flapping their wings and scrambling to escape. It was so sudden, Wu Qi and Mu Wan didn't see what the group of insects looked like, and they scattered and fled.
"Jade Pavilion?! Jade Pavilion Girl! β
After the swarm dispersed, Mu Wan rushed forward to pick her up.
"The bleeding can't be stopped...... It seems to be poisonous, what to do, what to do if there is no abandonment? We save her, we ......"
Shi Wuqi looked at the severed arm, although it blocked the penetrating wound in Yuting's abdominal cavity, the injury was basically incurable. And Mu Wan said that it was poisonous, and the blood stains that spread from the wound had slowly begun to turn black, like ink.
He looked at the side of his hand, because there was no injury, maybe it was fine, but it needed to be cleaned up as soon as possible. He glanced at Young Master Zhang's corpse on the ground again, and he was only left with an empty shell, like an empty cocoon. It turned out that they actually relied on this kind of Gu technique...... The average person only needs one or two bugs, and he is like this, maybe what's the difference...... It could also be that the eggs hatched in the corpse. Shi Wuqi noticed that in his left chest cavity, there was also a human heart that had been gnawed and riddled with holes.
Is that why he is more inclined to attack people's hearts...... Although he still doesn't fully understand this motivation, maybe it's some kind of instinct. At least that explains his previous behavior to some extent.
Now is not the time to analyze these.
He shook his head and said helplessly to Mu Wan, there is no way.
"She's so light, like an empty shell...... She can't die, she doesn't deserve to die, it's our carelessness, it's all our ......"
Yuting's slender arm trembled slightly, and his limbs twitched uncontrollably, not knowing if it was due to excessive blood loss or the influence of toxins. At this time, Wu Yin, who had turned into a human form, walked to the side of Hunt Gongduo who was watching the play and patted the ash on his clothes.
"Yo, it's all bitten, it's miserable."
"Less nonsense. Tengu blood, I got it. β
Wu Yin held a jet-black narrow-mouthed bottle in his hand. Mu Wan looked up and said that it was not good. Just behind him, there was a tengu's aggrieved whimper, from far and near. She turned her head and saw a small streak of blood on its snow-white hair, and she was weak. Shi Wuqi walked over in two steps, gently brushed away the layers of hair on its neck, turned his head and said to Mu Wan:
"Two small cuts, not a big injury. But I doubt ......"
His eyes moved to the Jade Pavilion girl, and he didn't continue.
Mu Wan glared at the two of them angrily, but there was nothing he could do, it was obviously not possible to rush over and beat them. She thought to herself that this time, she might not be able to fight again, maybe it was their ploy to draw out the tenguβand she couldn't leave the Jade Pavilion girl here. The two cunning youkai had a mocking smile and a contemptuous and indifferent smile. She was so angry that she wanted to tear them apart and feed them to the dogsβand they wouldn't eat them.
"Go, go and save ......" Yuting almost used his last strength, and his voice was interrupted by air, "Save Ah Luan......"
People who think about others until they die are said to be unworthy of death.
"I'll do it."
Shi Wuqi half-knelt down and stretched out an arm to cushion Yuting's back from behind. Mu Wan carefully let go of his hand, looked up at him, and then at the Jade Pavilion girl.
"Sleep, it's all right. It doesn't hurt to fall asleep, so let's sleep. β
She seemed to relax slightly, her eyes still wide open, covered with a thin layer of puffs, as if she couldn't see clearly, maybe it was the effect of poison, or something. Her pain was unabated, but her trembling was a little lighter. Mu Wan felt that Shi Wuqi's tone was too gentle, but it didn't seem to be different from usual, and she couldn't say it.
He reached out his other hand and gently touched the back of her head, holding her neck.
"Thank you, Miss Zhang, thank you. Let's go find Ah Luan. Sleep, she'll wait for you to wake up and play with her. β
The Jade Pavilion girl's body was still entangled, but she slowly closed her eyes.
Click.
In an instant, Shi Wuqi grabbed her stamina and broke her spine.
She stopped moving. If you don't look down with your eyes closed, it's like falling asleep. The hand that was originally on the back of her neck slowly slid to the front and gently touched the small cheek.
Mu Wan's legs were completely out of strength, and he collapsed on the ground, almost wanting to break down and cry out. But she still clenched her teeth, and the blood was about to bite out, and she didn't even make a sound after all.
It's not like she hasn't experienced life and death β but not so directly.
This is the first time.
Shi Wuqi only felt empty and pathetic - from beginning to end.
Don't give them more time to remember, it's as if the other two are waiting for this moment. Hunt Gongduo suddenly clapped his hands, and the Jade Pavilion girl and Young Master Zhang both stood up slowly, limped, and slowly left from the two of them. Mu Wan wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the strength in his legs, Shi Wuqi just locked his eyebrows and stared at the scene in front of him.
Both of them walked over to the two monsters.
"It can be cured, believe me," Gar Gongduo grinned, "we have a way." β
As soon as the words fell, a cloud of smoke rose from the ground, enveloping them in an instant. The smoke soon cleared, but there was nothing left in the place, as if no one had been standing there since then.
Mu Wan finally shouted hysterically.
"Why don't you stop them?! Why are you - to let them be taken away, been, that kind of people?! β
"Okay, if I call those two corpses back, then what?" He asked abruptly.
yes, and then what?
They need a decent funeral. But apparently, they did not have the time and did not have any preparations for this.
This in itself is more than expected.
Tengu stuck out his tongue and licked Muwan's cheek. A fresh breeze blew, and the wet place became cold, as if it had been caressed by a cold hand.
She barely stood up and jerked him away before Shi Wuqi could come up and pick her up. Looking at the angry back, Shi Wuqi shook his head and quickly chased after him.
What Shanhai didn't expect, Wu Qi and Mu Wan didn't expect either.
If they hadn't come later to see with their own eyes how Ah Luan used a sword sharpened with a piece of wood to split the boulder that Xie Yan kicked with a kick, they would never have believed that she had lasted so long alone. The stone, which was about half a man high and half a man wide, and had an irregular shape, had been cut in two by her.
Shanhai was right next to her, and neither of them was too injured. But Shanhai's expression was very unnatural from beginning to end, except for dealing with the move of relieving the smoke, he always glanced at Ah Luan from time to time.
Xie Yan was not injured, but looking at her expression, it could be seen that the duel was not so smooth. Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead in the sun, and it looked like a bitter battle. Before they arrived, both sides had exerted too much strength and were a little exhausted. Xie Yan saw the two of them, frowned, and realized that this joking chase had been reversed into the opponent's encirclement.
If she wants to fight to the death, she really doesn't have that courage. But when it comes to cost, it's really not cost-effective. The exclusive business acumen of the Shadow Pavilion made her realize the truth that she could stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood.
Closing the distance, she retracted her posture of preparing for battle, adjusting to an ordinary, somewhat arrogant standing posture. She folded her arms, shortened her scorpion hair, and tilted her face to look at Dai Luan from side to side.
"The little girl's family is very hidden."
"Today is my first actual battle," she clutched her sword, her tone was still a little afraid, "It is estimated that the mountains and seas are not early, and my life is not guaranteed." β
"You are using the swordsmanship of softness to overcome rigidity" Xie Yan commented, "Break the whole into zero, and dial a thousand catties in four or two." It's very practical to deal with people who are much stronger than you. Who taught you? β
"A knifesmith, I was taught when I was a child." She answered honestly. Shanhai patted her on the head, telling her to avoid the enemy's words.
"Cutler?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's kind of interesting." β
"Mu Wan? You have blood on you...... Are you okay? β
This was said by Ah Luan, and Shanhai quickly noticed it. Mu Wan waved her hand again and again and said, it wasn't hers, but she couldn't say more. Fortunately, at this time, they didn't bother to ask. Shi Wuqi looked at Xie Yan coldly, and asked lightly:
"Your two brothers have already run away, do you roll by yourself, or do we ask you?"
"What a big breath."
She glared at Shi Wuqi a little angrily. Although his face did not change, the girl Qi beside him made a move to face the battle, I don't know if it was a simple provocation, or if he really wanted to fight.
At this time, a spirit butterfly fluttered here, and it came from nowhere. It's too light to fit in with the stalemate atmosphere. Its wings glowed blue, apparently from the Shadow Pavilion. The spirit butterfly circled around the cigarette and eventually landed on her bare shoulder. She watched as it flapped its wings slightly, as if listening to what it had to say, and nodded slightly.
"Looks like the two have achieved their goal...... Well, I really don't have to pester you. Originally, entangled with you was not the business of the Shadow Pavilion. β
Shanhai looked directly at her and said, "I thought you had negotiated the price with Zuo Zhenmen." β
