Chapter 18: Anger
Huang Quan's hand gradually tightened, and in the blink of an eye, the giant rock could no longer breathe in a trace of air. His face was swollen purple, his eyes protruded, but his limbs hung limply, and only his feet occasionally moved in vain.
The samurai who was partnering with the boulder realized that Huang Quan was not joking, and he rushed over with a loud roar, shouting, "What are you doing!" Put people down! ”
However, Huang Quan just glanced at him calmly, and let him freeze in place instantly, and the chill that penetrated his bones almost froze him! It's not cold, and in the rainforest, even in the cool season, you only need to wear two layers of thick clothing.
It was fear, an irresistible, unspeakable fear, and he had never been so afraid, even when he was alone surrounded by ogres. Perhaps, only the fear of being defeated by an ogre and about to be eaten alive can be compared to this moment.
He bit his tongue fiercely, forcibly freed himself from fear, and rushed towards the Yellow Spring. However, it was too late, and a clicking sound came from Huang Quan's hand, which had already crushed the neck vertebrae of the giant rock.
"You killed the Boulder! You, you're crazy! ”
Huang Quan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go and tell the Great Elder that no one can challenge my bottom line. Since I killed the boulder, then I will double his responsibility. Of course, if someone wants to avenge him, that's fine. ”
When Huang Quan's hand rested on his shoulder, the warrior immediately stiffened and could not move. It wasn't until Huang Quan took Yao away that he regained his mobility, picked up the body of the boulder, and returned to the camp.
This time, Huang Quan took the lead, and followed him silently.
The two of them explored a few kilometers forward one after the other, and Huang Quan chose a higher horizontal branch, jumped up with Yaoyao, and said, "Just rest here, it won't be long before you can see the cannibal." ”
"How do you know?" Haruka immediately became nervous and looked around. But everywhere you look, there is a dark and dense forest, and there is no shadow of a man-eater.
Of course, Haruka also knows that not being able to see does not mean that there is no danger. The hunter in the ogre can dive close enough distance before he can strike a blow.
"Guess." Huang Quan naturally wouldn't say that he had already smelled the smell of a cannibal. The biochemical organs built into his nasal cavity are dozens of times more sensitive to odors than the best hunting dogs.
There was a faint smell of cannibals in the air, and the smell was extremely faint, but it could not escape the capture of Huangquan. As the ultimate hole card of the empire, Huangquan is not only a top warrior and killer, but also a top hunter.
When implanting this biochemical organ in Huangquan back then, the big guy from the Imperial Research Institute once proudly said that even if there were only a few molecules, he could identify them.
Huangquan's nose not only distinguishes smells, but also includes a variety of functions such as comparing genes. Even in the midst of the crowds of the metropolis, he can catch the target of his tracking from the intertwined and complex atmosphere.
The smell wafting through the forest is more than a few molecules, of course, but it is by no means distinguishable by a hound. It was the grease that the ogre applied to his body, the composition was extremely special, and the rejection of Sheng Hui was even more frenzied, which made Huang Quan's memory extremely deep. Ten thousand years ago, when he was crisscrossing countless star fields, he had never encountered such a thing.
However, the special breath is also a bright guiding sign, and when this smell is captured, Huangquan knows that there must be man-eating activities in the nearby area.
The concept of the immediate area varies from person to person, and the more acute the perception, the wider the natural range. From the subtle changes in the spread of taste, Huangquan estimates that there are likely man-eaters active within ten kilometers ahead.
Ten kilometres is a huge area, especially in this kind of rainforest, which is difficult to search. Huang Quan sat down on the branch and began to wait patiently.
Haruka crouched next to him, nervously observing his surroundings. She could tell from Huang Quan's expression that she was afraid that there would be a man-eating ghost soon.
However, two hours of waiting passed, and Haruka's patience finally ran out, and he asked, "Will the ogre still appear?" ”
"How do I know?"
"But you said there were cannibals around."
"Maybe they didn't go in our direction."
"What then?"
"Isn't that a good thing? Do you still want us to be discovered? ”
Yao was speechless for a while, and after a pause, he said, "Can you find their whereabouts again?" ”
"No, just wait." Huang Quan flatly refused.
The biochemical perceptor in his nose, he usually turns it off, and only turns it on at critical moments. Being able to distinguish smells at the molecular level sounds like a formidable ability, but in reality only the user will know that it is a complete nightmare.
The fresh wind in the eyes of ordinary people can parse hundreds of different flavors, some of which are particularly strong. And on the crowded streets, it is really common to smell tens of thousands of smells.
The instantaneous flow of information is enough to make people dizzy.
When you turn on the biochemical sensor, when you smell the ogre grease again, it's like applying a piece of ointment to your nostrils, and the smell is indescribable. Even after the most rigorous torture training in the Empire, Huang Quan didn't want to smell it a few more times.
So as soon as he heard Haruka's request, Huang Quan immediately refused.
Yao didn't have much to do, so he had to continue to squat beside Huang Quan and wait patiently.
After a while, she suddenly spoke again, her eyes were a little complicated, and said, "Juyan is a very powerful warrior and a very good hunter, and he can also find traces of ogres from a long distance. Though...... He's not good to me, but he's still useful to the settlement, so why would you kill him? ”
"If you meet him in the forest, you will probably be humiliated by him again, right? If my strength is almost good, and my temper is bigger, and I can't help but do it, maybe I will die in his hands. ”
"Juyan is not such a person, he just speaks ugly, as long as he is let a little, he will not move."
Huang Quan said lightly: "Such a waste that can be pinched to death at will, why should I put up with him?" ”
"Ah......" Haruka couldn't answer.
"Isn't his bad thing to be caused by the people in your settlement? Except for the Great Elder, no one could beat him, so he could do whatever he wanted. Now, since there is no one in the settlement who is my opponent, I can do whatever I want. ”
Haruka is trying to justify: "He is also acting according to the laws of the ancestors!" ”
Huang Quan sneered: "Your so-called ancestral law is nothing more than the strong man is the king, and you are embarrassed to call it the law?" ”
Previously, the Empire's legal code in the colonial star field, which was specifically aimed at the native race and the extraterritorial race, was not so explicit.
Even so, within the Empire, the code was considered to be excessively discriminatory against other races, and every once in a while, someone wanted to propose a major overhaul.
The system in which the strongest samurai in the settlement could choose women at will was much more serious than the extraterritorial code of the empire. In the eyes of any educated person, this is a sign of savagery, ignorance, and uncivilized, and is no different from wild beasts, lions, and monkeys.
It was the first time he heard this kind of comment, and he unconsciously retorted: "This is all a system left by the ancestors. ”
"If the things left by your ancestors were useful, you wouldn't be like this."
Haruka Xiao's face was angry: "You are slandering the ancestors!" ”
"It's not slander." Speaking of this, Huang Quan himself shook his head first, and said with a little self-deprecation, "What's wrong with me, I still fight with you for this." ”
During the imperial era, his own actions were often besieged in the House of Lords.
There are many things that can be criticized, such as directly erasing the town that took in the rebels in order to completely eliminate a certain rebel army; For example, in order to capture a certain planet, he planned the strictest blockade for three years, not allowing any spacecraft to enter and leave the star field.
As a result, an unprecedented famine was caused on a planet that produced little food, and when the population was reduced to a number that frightened the civilian population, the empire was finally surrendered.
Who would have thought that 10,000 years later, he would be angry at a primitive and barbaric system of settlements.
"Why should I be angry?" Huang Quan reflected and began to examine the process of killing people in anger little by little.
According to his past personality, it was impossible to kill the boulder like this, and let him die without any pain. Even with only a few wooden poles in his hand, Huang Quan can make the enemy howl for days before completely losing his life.
But he was angry with the boulder, and he didn't want to be patient at all, and he didn't even want to wait for a death process.
Just because the boulder mouth is cheap?
If he could be easily provoked by words, how could Huang Quan become the commander of the dragoon camp and be undefeated in the star field? His reputation, in addition to brutality, is more based on cold-bloodedness and cunning.
Carefully combing through his thoughts, Huang Quan finally found the real reason.
