Chapter 8: The Blade of Slaughter

Si Xingfeng is eleven years old this year, and although his skin is not like that of ordinary savages, showing a slightly blackened bronze luster, but is much fairer and cleaner, his height has reached a terrifying one hundred and seventy centimeters, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the savage's "simple mind and well-developed limbs".

Therefore, although some people are puzzled, few people will suspect that this "Xiao Ming" young master is not a "savage" at all, but a real "smart man" with a whole period of civilization imprinted in his mind!

Just now he was ordered by Xiao Cong to gather everyone for dinner, Si Xingfeng still pretended to be the same as usual on the surface, and always looked stupid, but in fact, he had already begun to plan in his heart.

Although he felt that there had been no mistakes in his behavior on weekdays, Si Xingfeng's intuition told him that Xiao Cong seemed to be a little suspicious of him, and he had been looking at himself every time recently, which was very abnormal.

Si Xingfeng knew that according to Xiao Cong's temperament, if he found that he had been pretending to be honest and stupid all along, then he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around. A person like Xiao Cong will never let any hidden dangers exist around him!

So in the past few days, although Si Xingfeng has been as quiet as ever on the surface, he is inevitably a little impatient and anxious in his heart. He didn't know how to get Xiao Cong to eliminate his vigilance against himself, and he was wondering whether he should take advantage of Xiao Cong's departure from Jujing City this time, and simply find an opportunity to kill him directly, and avenge the blood hatred of those who had been mutilated by him and his savage mother Xiong Lan.

After all, Xiao Cong, who left the giant capital city, could be regarded as having lost the protection of Shura, even if he died unexpectedly, no one would bother to investigate the cause of death. But the same problem is that this is a barren and barbaric area that all the people of Jujing talk about, even if everything goes well, he can really kill Xiao Cong, how can he continue to survive?

And then again, over the years, although he has witnessed how Xiao Cong has done a lot of evil, and he has caused many people to be ruined, but Si Xingfeng has to admit the fact that he can only grow up smoothly and healthily under his protection.

If you say hatred, of course, there is, but Si Xingfeng will also feel that in fact, to a certain extent, Xiao Cong still has a protective kindness to him.

Even if he did harm a lot of people, but when he treated himself, this poisonous snake was really not bad, not only taking care of his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also specially asking people to teach him all kinds of knowledge. Even sometimes he himself wonders if Xiao Cong is using himself to cover up his weaknesses, or if he really raises himself as a nephew.

It's true that he has a smart mind and a wealth of knowledge, but after all, Si Xingfeng is just a child, and he really doesn't know where he should go because he lacks real experience.

In fact, where did he know, where did Xiao Cong suspect him, after all, he was a child who grew up beside him, even if he really had some thoughts of using it at the beginning, even if he Xiao Cong was indeed a heinous bad person, but for "Xiao Ming", the child who took care of him little by little, Xiao Cong actually really had feelings.

These days, although he would stare at Si Xingfeng from time to time, he was not doubting him, but he had been thinking about one thing.

Even if he is as cunning as a fox, he is not very sure that he can get out of this trip to the Far Eastern Fortress. Others may not be able to see what Luo Xiu's ambitions and layouts are, but he has already found some clues.

If the rumors are true, Luo Xiu, who was born with the Shura organization, was originally born in the central city-state region, but he was willing to condescend to come to this remote eastern giant capital, and endured for several years before he completely mastered the giant capital step by step, but this scheming is deep, and it should not be underestimated.

Now, Luo Xiu is suddenly going to have a plot against the Far Eastern Fortress in the Far East, which can only mean one thing, the family behind Luo Xiu may have planned the Far Eastern Fortress more than ten years ago, and the remote giant capital is also because of its special geographical location, so it is worth letting them send a person like Luo Xiu.

Xiao Cong does not regret that he was involved in this turmoil, after all, if there was no "Shura", according to the rules formulated by Jing Shaowu in the past, he was born as a miscellaneous person, and now he is only a small leader in the loose organization of "Blood", how can he have today's status.

Xiao Cong is greedy for life, but he himself got up from the dust, he is not afraid of death, and he is not obsessed with power. Even due to his own physical reasons, Xiao Cong is different from ordinary men, he is not greedy for money and lustful. Therefore, in front of everyone, he is almost invulnerable.

But such a sinister and cunning person with almost no weaknesses, and outstanding achievements, then he is not only a nightmare that makes his opponent helpless and afraid, but Luo Xiu has actually gradually become jealous of him.

But people will have weaknesses, no one is an exception, the reason why a smart person is a smart person is only because he will cleverly hide his weaknesses, and even release a false signal for everyone to see, and then quietly cover up his real life

But even Si Xingfeng, who grew up beside him, didn't know what Xiao Cong's real weakness was, he just knew that Xiao Cong had to take a bath every day, and this habit was almost untouchable. But in fact, Xiao Cong just likes to enjoy the feeling of being wrapped in warmth in hot water just because of his own body.

He seems to be unruly and ruthless, but in reality he is a deeply insecure person who goes insane when things are not in his plan.

Just like back then, when he knew that his younger brother was not missing, but was chopped up by his father and made into buns, he didn't even know anything about it, and he was deceived into eating part of it at that time.

His most beloved brother was actually killed by his father whom he had always respected, and he changed out of rage, and since he was twelve years old and lived on the streets, he has never trusted anyone, and he has been until now.

In the past ten years, Xiao Cong has not concealed his concern for Xiao Ming, but from time to time with a trace of alienation, in fact, Xiao Cong, who is getting stronger day by day, now needs to use Si Xingfeng to hide his weaknesses. What he did was just to confuse his enemies, so that they couldn't figure out their true attitude towards this adopted son, so that they didn't dare to attack Xiao Ming impulsively, so as not to startle the snake and not be able to target him.

In fact, looking at it the other way around, this is not Xiao Cong's protection of Si Xingfeng, when it is true, it is also false, in fact, Si Xingfeng, who is his younger brother's sustenance, is Xiao Cong's biggest weakness, but Si Xingfeng himself is a fan of the authorities, always preconceived, and it is difficult to see through.

After all, in his eyes, he has always referred to the moral standards of previous generations, and only thinks that Xiao Cong is a heinous villain, and ignores that he has always taken care of himself in every way.

Recently, Xiao Cong, who is as cautious as a fox, has always been a little uneasy from time to time, so he has been watching Si Xingfeng every time recently, and he also has a trace of thinking about sending Xiao Ming far away from the place of right and wrong. But he was worried that if this ten-year-old hairy child left him, he had no background, and he was afraid that he would be eaten in a blink of an eye, and there would be no scum left.

These things, Si Xingfeng is not clear. An entire period of human civilization is engraved in his mind, which has given him wisdom and insight far beyond his years, but it also limits his cognition.

He has always lived under Xiao Cong's wings, in fact, he has never really perceived that in this era he is in, in this wild and barbaric land where he is located, what really applies is not the so-called theory of civilization, good and evil, but the law of barbarism that pays attention to the law of the jungle!

Because here, many times, even if you don't eat people, others will eat you!

……

A group of people gathered around a campfire, each eating their food. This campsite was selected by Xiao Cong and others, not only far away from the trees and jungles, with a wide field of vision, but also backed by a low hill rock, which is very convenient for escape. When it comes to the experience of surviving in the wild, in fact, Xiao Cong is not very rich, but he knew that he would have to pass through a long wilderness area this time, but Xiao Cong made full preparations for his own safety.

He not only asked many of Shura's veteran wilderness team members for a lot of wilderness survival experience, but also did his best to equip a lot of wilderness survival equipment, and even hired two experienced guides at great expense.

This elite team of nearly 100 people has almost hollowed out all the accumulation and heritage of Xiao Cong, a poisonous snake, in the past ten years, but even after such meticulous preparations, Xiao Cong still knows very clearly that even if he can successfully reach the Far East Fortress, his subordinates may not be able to avoid the end of one out of ten.

In fact, Xiao Cong's uneasiness is not unreasonable, as a heavy snake mutant, his natural perception of danger is far beyond ordinary people.

It's just that even though Xiao Cong did his best to prepare for all the crises, he still underestimated the horror of the wilderness. Although Xiao Cong was cautious, he could only restrain his henchmen, as for the other hired soldiers, it was actually just a trick, but it was this group of rabble that really caused trouble.

You must know that the flames that were invincible in the old times are not only no longer deterrent to the mutated beasts in the wilderness today, but the clusters of fires have become very eye-catching symbols. Especially at night, the bright yellow light attracts the attention of many strange beasts.

The two half-baked guides in the original team were also very opposed to lighting a bonfire, after all, this was the experience of countless lives piled up together.

However, the night in the wilderness was particularly cold, and they could not resist the bitter pleadings of the people, and they thought that their group was strong, and this place was only on the edge of the wilderness, and it was much safer, so they reluctantly agreed to the pleas of the people, and chose an open field and arranged a bonfire.

On the way from Jujing to the Far Eastern Fortress, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the five floating machines are very limited in their own energy, and there is no supply station on the way, so in order to save energy, everyone has not eaten hot food for many days.

For the first time in half a month, they had eaten a hot meal by the campfire, so everyone became happy, and a few of them couldn't help but drink.

The biggest advantage of hunger and cold is that it can keep people calm and sober, but when people are full and warm, they will inevitably start to be lazy and slack!

Spirits and barbecue were much better than cold marching dry food, and the people who had eaten and drunk enough to relax all the heartstrings that had been tense for more than a month for a while, and the original awe and vigilance of the wilderness were completely abandoned by them.

It was one of the self-proclaimed experienced guides, and after two sips of spirits, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and blew a cowhide in the crowd, and the other guide rolled his eyes.

The two guides already knew each other, but in fact, their field experience was at an average level, otherwise how could they take a fancy to that little money and accept Xiao Cong's employment.

As we all know, the wilderness is full of dangers, and if you are a member of a powerful wilderness team, under normal circumstances, you will never leave your team for any reason! Because they know very well that no matter how outstanding their individual strength is, if they leave the familiar team and join a new team, not to mention the hearts and minds of the people, the patchwork team without tacit understanding is likely to fall apart in an instant and flee for their lives when a crisis comes.

Of course, in addition to the elite squad, there are more powerful lone rangers who are often active in the wilderness, but they will not casually join a team as large as Xiao Cong. Not to mention, most of them are cumbersome, and they are basically useless except for dragging their feet.

They knew more clearly that the size of one hundred and ten people, if it was against the same kind of human beings, it would naturally be considered powerful, but in the vast wilderness area, so many people were equivalent to the most delicious piece of fat, and it was easier to attract the attention of foreign beasts, and even trigger their hunting.

Generally speaking, the size of the wilderness clearing team will not exceed ten people, and most elite teams will even control the number of people to about seven.

And these two guides invited by Xiao Cong with a lot of money were actually just the pilots of the floating boats of the veteran wasteland development team, but a year ago, their team unfortunately encountered a brutal wilderness beast, and it was also an extremely fierce saber-toothed tiger.

Although the strength of their team is not bad, it is indeed too difficult to face a full five saber-toothed tigers! And when everyone was desperately fighting with the saber-toothed tiger, these two guys saw a bad opportunity, directly abandoned their companions, fled back to the float boat, and quickly took off and fled. Pity the other members of this wasteland development team with good records, although they are extremely brave, they are also invincible, and in the end they are all killed.

What's even more disgusting is that these two wolf-hearted guys actually went back and forth, not only looting the relics of their teammates, but also waiting for the opportunity to kill a saber-toothed tiger that was seriously injured by their opponents, and brought its body back to the giant capital......

After this battle, these two people were also frightened, because the dying fierce tiger almost killed the two of them!

After fleeing back to the Floating City in embarrassment, the two of them made up what happened, not only boasting about their skills, but also making up the story of how they fought the beast with their teammates but could not save their teammates.

For a while, these two guys became famous because of this, and even countless newly built wasteland reclamation teams came to invite them to join. However, they were frightened and dared to go to the field again, so they politely declined the invitation of all the teams, and continued to live in the city only by relying on the accumulation of the past.

It's just that even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't help but sit and eat like that, these two people have been poor recently, and they are catching up with Xiao Cong's heavy money, so these two "experts" who have almost no experience in survival in the wild have "reluctantly" joined his team.

A group of people were lying on the edge of the campfire, praising each other as if they had turned the treacherous wilderness into their own garden. But at the same time, they didn't notice that in the wilderness in the distance, a large red-eyed killer who was hiding in the night and quietly marching quietly appeared suddenly, constantly approaching and surrounding them.

This is not an ordinary product, although it is not the king of the wilderness like the violent bear and the saber-toothed tiger, but it is also one of the most terrifying beast populations in the wilderness, the red-eyed mound wolf. If someone could look at the periphery at this time, then he would definitely not be able to help but shout out when he noticed the countless red rays scattered in the ruyuan night.

The mound wolf pack formed by nearly a hundred mound wolves has another name in the wilderness, the Blade of Slaughter!

It will make the entire field flow into a river of blood, and the blade of slaughter will not leave a single grass!

The Tsukasa Wolf, which is a top hunter, has always liked to be alone, but for whatever reason, once they gather in a pack, it means that they will slaughter all the lives they encounter along the way!
