Chapter Twenty-Eight: Substitution as Prey
A black line flashed on Yang Long's face, he didn't expect Uncle Niu's request to be so simple, he just asked him to leave the place where he was born with the red lotus, and he didn't ask him to participate in any life-and-death duel.
Yang Long smiled bitterly: "I thought Uncle Niu wanted me to participate in the competition for this girl? ”
Uncle Niu didn't speak, in fact, he had thought so in his heart. Although he was surprised why Yang Long would hunt high-level demon beasts, he never asked much, after all, this was a matter that belonged to Yang Long himself. At that time, he could see from this that the little guy in front of him was not an ordinary person, so he thought that he might use this opportunity to get Red Lotus out of this crisis. Even if he knew that Yang Long's body did not fluctuate at all, he still had a kind of expectation in his heart.
However, after observing the past three days, he found that Yang Long was really just an ordinary person. In Yang Long's body, there was no strength that shocked him, and he seemed extremely calm, so he changed his mind.
Because an ordinary person like Yang Long is the prey of this game, then within one night, Yang Long will be buried in the loess, so this kind of request is too unreasonable.
But now Yanglong has vaguely revealed a hint of news, which makes Uncle Niu regain hope. Whether it was a comforting word or not, he looked at Yang Long with disbelief and muttered, "Really?"
Yang Long smiled bitterly: "Do you think there is any other choice besides this method?"
At this moment, the red lotus on the side actually began to dream: "Hit him, beat him." ”
This scene scared Yang Long, he chuckled and glanced at Honglian's cute face with a small mouth, he didn't expect this girl to be so violent in her sleep.
"Do you think this girl will leave this place with me, a stranger, and will she leave you?" Yang Long shook his head and said, "You have also seen it, you have persuaded it many times before, but every time this girl refused, didn't she?"
Yang Long knew that it would be easy for Honglian to leave this warm family. Uncle Niu has been asking for so much time, and Honglian's mind still refuses to change, so you can imagine how important this family is to her. This has become an indelible memory of her, and Yang Long knows that it is impossible for him to leave this homeland that has survived for more than ten years because of his words.
He knew that not to mention that Honglian couldn't do it, even Yang Long didn't dare to guarantee that he would abandon the village without hesitation. For the village where he has lived for eight years, Yang Long already has a special sense of belonging in his heart. This feeling has made Yang Long nostalgic all the time for six years, he is nostalgic for that ordinary life, simple and innocent smile, nostalgic for the frolicking of his partners, simple and immature. Even Uncle Zhang, Old Man Shi, and these ordinary people in the village, he didn't forget it.
In the abyss, Yang Long wakes up from nightmares every night, he can see scenes of joy, and the whitebeard beside him will continue to comfort him. This is also the main reason why Yang Long survived, and it is precisely because of this bond that Yang Long plans to get out of the ordinary road and out of despair. He knows that only if he becomes a strong man can he avenge the people he loves.
Therefore, he knew that Honglian was the same in his heart, so Yang Long said: "Uncle Niu, let me go to the competition for Honglian!"
In order to make Uncle Niu believe in himself, Yang Long also deliberately cast the Wind Fury taught by Whitebeard. When Yang Long's arm flew in the air, Uncle Niu's face had already become stiff, and he didn't have time to react at all, and the first seal technique of the Yang Dragon Society was cast.
"Is this a seal?" Uncle Niu said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be a sealer." ”
A cyan glow swirled around Yang Long's body, making him look even more ethereal, and a breeze swirled in the calm thatched house. The figure of the next Yang Dragon had disappeared in place, and instantly appeared on the other side, so fast that it was impossible to catch its speed.
Uncle Niu could only barely see a trace of afterimage passing by, not to mention him at this speed, except for those few old immortals, even few elders in the hunting circle could catch up. At that moment, he looked at Yang Long with some shock and said: "This is the top-grade sealing technique in the wind system, I didn't expect you to even know this kind of upper-level sealing technique, and almost no one in the human seal realm can catch up." ”
Yang Long wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Now you should believe it!"
Uncle Niu shook his head with a wry smile, and said with sadness on his face: "There are some things that you still don't know about Brother Long, I don't know if the little girl has mentioned my little son to you." ”
Yang Long nodded, he had heard Red Lotus talk about his brother when he met those hateful fellows when he was going up the mountain before. According to Honglian, her brother did not die in an accident, but was framed to death, but the specific situation is not something that Yang Long can understand.
Looking at Yang Long and nodded, he saw Uncle Niu continue: "It's not a secret, the youngest son Congyan was framed and died. Because I was too calm with the tribe at that time, as the heir to the next chief of the hunters, I didn't know how heavy the burden I was carrying. ”
Speaking of this, Uncle Niu said angrily: "Ignorant, I don't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, I regard the tribe as my home, and the people around me as my relatives." For some guys who are secretly eyeing their status, there is no defense. They secretly killed my wife and children, but they also covered up all the evidence and deceived everyone in the tribe. ”
"The unjust death of my wife and children makes me furious. Although the murderer had been killed by me, I was ridiculous to find that it was just a puppet, a puppet who died for someone, and the person behind him, with a gloomy smile, kept watching. Watch me do this stupidity, watch how I'm drifting away from the tribe. Uncle Niu spoke weakly, flashing the sad past in his memories, and the tears in the corners of his eyes turned into silent hatred.
Mixed with tears, the wine in the cup is mixed with bitterness. Uncle Niu was red-eyed, suppressed the hatred, and swallowed up the bitterness in his heart. He looked at Yang Long's sincere gaze and said apologetically, "Brother Long, in fact, this game between hunters is aimed at me. During this period, it is full of unknown dangers, and I don't know if Brother Long is still willing. Of course, you don't need to win the game, you just need to hand over the token at the crucial moment and save your life. ”
Seeing that the man in front of him actually shed tears, Yang Long couldn't help but sigh. His wife and children died tragically in the hands of others, but he couldn't slash the enemy, what a tragic thing, and who understands the grievances.
Yang Long clenched his fists, opened the corners of his mouth at Uncle Niu and smiled: "Don't worry, Uncle Niu, this matter is on me, and I will participate in the competition on behalf of Honglian when the time comes." ”
"Oh, by the way, can you let someone replace you during the competition?" At this time, he was a little puzzled, if the competition could not be replaced, then wouldn't it be better for Red Lotus to participate.
At this time, Uncle Niu had completely suppressed his grief and indignation, and when he heard Yang Long finish saying this doubt, he seemed to be a little angry and said, "Brother Long is now my relative, why can't you." ”
When he said this, Yang Long actually blushed a little for a while. He glanced at the red lotus beside him a little strangely, and then looked left and right with blank eyes, not daring to look at the sleeping red lotus at all.
Uncle Niu didn't expect this product to be shy, and he stared at Yang Long's expression suspiciously. But when Yang Long said the next sentence, Uncle Niu's jaw almost fell to the ground in shock.
"Actually, Xiaolian and I haven't started dating yet, Uncle Niu, you're too fast!" Yang Long finished speaking, and looked at Uncle Niu with embarrassment.
A few more days have passed, adding up to the previous three days, and the time that Yang Long has been here for almost ten days has been almost ten days.
Today is the hunting day, and it is also the day that Yang Long and Uncle Niu agreed on. In the past ten days, Yang Long has begun to adapt to the surrounding environment, and now he is no longer so painful that he can't open his eyes when he sees the sun like before.
Ten days of cultivation allowed Yang Long to temporarily suppress the dark attribute in his body, because Yang Long himself is a holy demon, so the aura cultivated is too mottled, with the influx of other spiritual energy, Yang Long feels that his physical state has barely reached a balance, but this balance is that half of the body is the aura that belongs to the dark attribute.
In the past ten days, Yang Long almost forgot one thing, that is, Tianming and some of his followers who met him on the mountain at that time. At that time, Yang Long stabbed this guy with a sword, and even pinned his foot to the ground. It stands to reason that he should have come to him, because the guy knew at a glance that he wasn't a good person.
But now ten days have passed, and there is no movement from that guy's side. Yang Long didn't know if it was because of his sudden exposure of strength that scared these guys into making rash moves, or because these guys were also preparing for the upcoming hunting and didn't come to trouble him and others.
To be honest, it wasn't that Yang Long really had such a terrifying reaction speed when he took the three arrows and crossbows at that time, but that Yang Long had an extremely keen intuition about murderous energy. Therefore, at the moment when the arrow crossbow came out of the body, Yang Long could feel the cold killing intent attached to it. Coupled with the fact that these arrows and crossbows were covered with a large amount of blood-red aura, it was obvious that this arrowhead didn't know how much blood of the beast had been removed.
Therefore, this is also the main reason for Yang Long to find the traces of the arrow crossbow, otherwise he can catch the arrow crossbow, and it is a great luck that he can catch it with his eyes alone. But at least there is one point, Yang Long relied on his true ability, and that was to block the huge recoil from the arrow crossbow with his bare hands. This strength is not something that ordinary people can accept, and this is also the result of Yang Long's frequent training under the abyss.
Although it was peaceful for so many days, the main course was finally served, and he finally won the hunting day, a guy who replaced the prey.
"Who's the real prey, wouldn't it be too boring if the prey of this game didn't resist. Yang Long smiled secretly in his heart, with a hint of excitement in the corners of his eyes.
