Chapter 13: Torture

A weapon reached out in the darkness and pressed it against the scout's throat, and the hand holding the weapon was slowly exerting force, the sharp edge gradually sinking into the scout's neck.

"Wait...... Wait, I have something to say. ”

There was no response, but the weapon against his throat stopped the horrific movement.

"You're the boy who was banished from Snowy City, aren't you?" The scout hurriedly asked.

“…… Do you know me? The man in the darkness said.

Hearing this, the scout breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this person can still communicate.

"You...... You let me go, the Tigers want to kill you, your brothers have been captured by our commander, if I die, they will definitely not live, but as long as you are willing to let me go, I will take you to our commander, you can save your brothers, that's good...... Good no good? The scout said in a consultative tone.

The man in the dark was silent, but to the scout, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Hey, hey, that...... Can you take this dangerous thing first, don't worry, I'll take you to your friend. The scout looked like he kept his promise.

In the darkness, he seemed to believe the scout's words and removed the weapon from the scout's neck.

The threat disappeared, and the scout smiled to himself, sure enough, it was a child, what a deception.

The scout immediately grabbed a handful of dust from his side and threw it into the darkness, the dust as cover, and then he escaped far away with a few dodges of his own.

"Naive child, don't trust strangers in the future, but I don't think you will have another chance, just wait, I will bring someone back to send you down immediately!" The scout was not a person with strong combat effectiveness, he was just an excellent scout, and he was not an opponent of the man in the dark, so he had to inform Mo Hu.

The scout glanced back before leaving, and the figure in the darkness didn't seem to have any intention of chasing him.

Running away, the scout felt that his steps began to become heavy, he couldn't control these two legs, and the reaction of his legs gradually couldn't keep up with the instructions of his brain, what was going on?

Poof.

His left foot tripped over his right foot and he fell directly into the snow in a dog-gnawing mud position.

"Whoaaaa

There was a throbbing pain in his heart, and he couldn't feel half of his body anymore.

A cold feeling crept up all over his body, and at the end of his life, he saw a few arrows stuck in his body, the wound was not large, but the silver of the wound shone unusually in the moonlight.

At this moment, everything is silent.

But the silence lasted only a few minutes.

Stomp and tread.

Footsteps were heard in the middle of the night in the woods, and the king slowly walked towards the cold corpse.

It was the first time his arrow had been stuck in a human body.

He pulled out the arrows covered in silver, and the last thing to survive in the permafrost was waste.

"You didn't lead the way, but you showed me the way."

The king buried him with some snow so that he would not become food for wild beasts, at least after death.

……

"Why hasn't Li Ji come back yet?" Mo Hu asked.

Li Ji was the scout who went out to search for his target last night, and he should have come back to change shifts before dawn today, and it was almost noon now.

"Commander Mo, Li Ji wouldn't have encountered some nocturnal beast, would he?"

"The scholars sent by the imperial court have said that the nocturnal beasts in the tundra are generally small and indecent beasts, and they are not very lethal." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that the loss he had suffered last time was that he believed in scholars too much, so he changed his words again: "Even if he encounters any carnivorous beast, with his light strength, he can easily escape." ”

"So we're just going to wait?" One of the fighters asked.

"......," Mo Hu pondered.

"Wait, maybe he's just delayed by some trivial matters." Another scout persuaded.

If the whole team continued to move forward, then when Li Ji returned, he would not be able to find this team, and those who broke away from the team in the frozen ground would be no different from being banished.

"If he doesn't come back before noon, we'll move on."

"Yes."

……

Since their capture, Quiton and Feather Cliff have been interrogated a total of three times.

Mo Hu has many methods, and besides, this is frozen soil, and the most terrifying thing to take from the local materials is this never-ending biting cold wind.

He covered the two of them with snow until the snow melted and they were covered in cold water, and then put them outside the tent to be attacked by the cold wind.

When they were frozen to the point that their whole body was purple and cramped, Mo Hu would give them a period of rest to warm up their bodies, and then continue to repeat until they fell unconscious.

But Quiton and Feathercliff's mouths were still tight, and he didn't get any information, the only thing he got was a few harsh swear words.

While waiting for Li Ji, Mo Hu thought of these two "toys" again.

"Hey, wake up." Mo Hu patted Yuya and Quiton's faces.

The two men tied up on the rough wood did not react, they were very tired, and those interrogations may not have destroyed their spirits, but their bodies could not bear such torture.

"Play dead, don't you?"

Mo Hu went outside the tent to grab a handful of snow, and then began to wipe it on the two of them.

"Sss

The cold stimulus woke the two up.

Feather Cliff's tired eyes were a little blank, and Quiton said weakly, "...... Baby Seed ...... Capable ...... Come again......"

"It seems that this cold wind is not exciting enough for you." Mo Hu said as he pulled Quiton's face.

"Phew." Quiton sprayed Mo Hu with a spit on his face.

“…… Son...... Seed...... Do you still have ...... Is there any other way to play...... Don't be afraid,......" Quiton grinned, putting on his ugly smile.

"Good, good."

Mo Hu had murderous intent towards Quiton, he had captured two of them anyway, and both of them knew the location of the Wanderer, and dying one would not affect his purpose.

"Then I'll let you go first." Mo Hu pulled out a long sword.

"Oh no, Captain! There's a herd of beasts coming! Suddenly, the shouts of scouts came from outside the tent.

"What!"

Mo Hu hurriedly took his sword and walked out of the tent.

It's a pack of white wolves, and this camp is already surrounded by white wolves.

The elite warriors brought by Mo Hu were already fully armed and confronting the white wolf pack.

I didn't expect the white wolves to pass by here, and now Mo Hu couldn't make up his mind.

If the war starts now, the smell of blood is likely to attract the frozen earth giant beast, this time the task of entering the frozen ground is to kill people, he did not carry a heavy giant crossbow, so he has no capital to fight the giant beast at all, if he is completely wiped out like last time, then Wu Tian will not kill himself?

But if you don't start a war, looking at the hungry appearance of these white wolves, it seems that they don't plan to stop and leave.

But...... He's got a way.

Out of the corner of Mo Hu's eyes, he looked at the tent behind him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
