Chapter 42: The Butcher
"King, the golden horn is planted." Chasing the wind hesitated for a moment, but still told the bad news.
The flames of war were dark in front of his eyes, and he almost fell, and his carefully concocted plan failed again.
"Are you alright?" Chasing Wind asked cautiously, he had never seen the flames of war so depressed, and in just a moment Kung Fu seemed to be several years old, this blow was too heavy for him, and there was no one on the grassland for him to sow discord.
"Let's go! I want to be quiet. The war was weak, paralyzed on the ground like a mess of mud, and muttered to himself: "Both Shengyu, He Shengliang, I think I am also a generation of heroes, but unfortunately an iron tower appeared, like a mountain to overwhelm itself, with such a powerful opponent, does the Carnivorous Alliance still have a chance to turn over?" He suddenly felt that there was no hope in life, and even had a thought of dying.
"Boy, a little blow can make you depressed, is that all you have to say?" A cold voice came, like a sharp awl, which was very uncomfortable.
"A little blow? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and if you are defeated by the same opponent one after another, then you know the pain in my heart. Zhan Huo replied subconsciously.
"Who? Who's talking. Soon he realized that something was wrong, this was the headquarters of the Carnivorous Alliance, heavily guarded, with many checkpoints, and no one could enter without his own orders, who was talking just now? I have nowhere to vent now, and I just happened to cut him.
A tornado suddenly blew on the cliff, and in an instant, the sand and rocks flew away, and the wind and clouds changed color, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
The battle was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and quickly covered his eyes with his hands, and when everything returned to calm, an extremely ugly monster appeared in front of him.
The monster's whole body was covered with thick scales, but it had a hard shell of a turtle on its back, and its eyes were sharp, and it was not angry and arrogant. The long, wide mouth is filled with two rows of dense teeth, much like a crocodile's bloody mouth. The claws are long and pointed, and they are so sharp that they are not as sharp as the fire of war. Although this guy is missing a hand and a foot, the fear of people has not decreased by half a point at all, but has increased a bit of ruthlessness.
"What kind of monster are you? What are you doing here? "War can become the leader of the Carnivorous Alliance, of course, he also has a certain amount of courage, and he quickly calmed down after a short panic.
"Boy, when you are young, you must know how to respect the elderly, don't open your mouth and shut up monsters, my name is Butcher. As for what I am, to be honest, I don't even know myself, I guess it's called a snapping turtle, because my dad is a crocodile and my mom is a tortoise. They ignored the ridicule and ridicule of the world, abandoned the narrow concept that they must be the right person to get married, and broke through many obstacles to come together bravely, which is why I am so good. ”
"I'm right, he's really a freak." The war muttered quietly.
"Don't speak ill of me secretly, or I'll make you suffer." The butcher warned, "I know what shit you're pulling as soon as you pout your ass, and nothing can hide it from me." ”
"Old fellow, you have to weigh yourself before bragging, do you know the consequences of making me angry?" Zhan Huo sneered, this is his own territory, and he doesn't dare to fight back when he is hit by someone, this is not the style of a lion.
"Boy, stop pretending, your three-legged cat kung fu is not enough for me to see." The butcher punched out casually, and the stone with the size of a grinding plate under the buttocks of the war suddenly exploded and turned into small pebbles.
The war jumped up in shock, clutched his smoking buttocks and shouted, "You...... What kind of magic are you doing? ”
"Demon law?" The butcher laughed, "This is called internal strength." ”
"Internal strength? What is Internal Strength? "The war is still confused.
"What an uninformed country boy." The butcher said disdainfully, "Internal strength is the energy in the body, although it cannot be seen or touched, but it is extremely powerful. Your opponent, Iron Tower, is a master of internal strength, so with your current ability, you will never want to beat him. ”
"With my current abilities? Old man, do you think there is still room for improvement in my ability? Zhan Huo was not a stupid person, and quickly understood what the butcher meant, and spoke politely.
"The children can be taught!" The butcher nodded and smiled, "As long as I am willing to help you, your abilities will increase exponentially." ”
"We have no relatives and no reason, why are you helping me?" There is no such thing as a free lunch, and of course the war understands this.
"Because you and I have a common enemy, and that is the Tower." The butcher said through gritted teeth.
He knelt on the ground with a "plop" of war, "Master, please accept the disciple's three bows." He kowtowed.
"Did I say I would take you as an apprentice?"
"Master, although my ability is not worth mentioning in your eyes, it is still okay to pour tea and pass water to ventilate the news, you are so old, there must always be someone to serve in front of you, right?" The mouth of the war is really not covered, and a few words can make the butcher happy, although being a dog leg is not a glorious thing, but he can't care so much, as long as he can revitalize the flesh-eating alliance, he can endure any humiliation.
"Boy, get up!" The butcher is cunning and cunning, he came here to find an obedient person for his own call, although he has no ability to fight, but he also has a few small minions under his hands, and it is still good to fill the scene, and he can also be cannon fodder if necessary. Of course, the butcher has his own reasons for being so cautious, Iron Egg's ability has reached the peak of perfection, and now that the calf has obtained his inner dan, his strength will definitely not be worse, he is now missing a hand and a foot, and his combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, if he rushes to a duel with him, he is really not sure.
"If you want to live a long life, you must be cautious and never fight a battle that you are not sure of." The butcher muttered to himself.
……
"Master, what do you think of this place?" Zhan Huo asked earnestly, and in order to gain the favor of the butcher, he gave up his summer resort.
"Well, the sun is abundant, the mountains and rivers are close to the water, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, not bad!" The butcher nodded with satisfaction, and he had a little more affection for the fire.
"Master, why did you suddenly come to the Carnivorous Alliance?" This question had been buried in the heart of the war for a long time, and while the old man was happy, he quickly asked it.
"You are my apprentice, and you are so obedient, of course I will not hide my origin." The butcher looked at the sunset on the horizon, his mind seemed to return to the past, and after pondering for a long time, he said leisurely: "I was born in the Mara River, and because of my strange appearance and ugly appearance, everyone regarded me as a monster, even my grandparents and grandparents did not like me. My friends never played with me, and they bullied me together, often beating me to the point of bleeding. I was humiliated, but I did not shed a single tear, and I vowed that one day I would pay back the humiliation I had suffered tenfold and hundredfold. I remember that day I had just been twisted and injured by a group of crabs, and immediately a few water snakes chased me, and they chased me for most of the day, from noon to night. It was getting dark, and I fled into a dark river in a panic, but I didn't expect that it was actually a legendary paradise, where many small fish and shrimp lived. I decided not to go out anymore, there was food and drink and no one bullied, how comfortable it was to have such a day! With plenty of food, my body grows very fast, maybe I inherited my parents' excellent genes, I am much bigger than ordinary turtles, and my strength is even greater, not to mention those shrimp and crabs, even crocodiles and water snakes are not my opponents, I am a well-deserved king in the dark river. Maybe I was insulted too much in my childhood, which caused my psychology to be a little distorted, and my personality became very brutal, and gradually I fell in love with the exciting game of killing, even if I wasn't hungry, I had to kill a few nasty guys every day, otherwise I felt uncomfortable, and every time I killed someone, I seemed to have a mouthful of childhood resentment. Everyone shy away when they saw me, and gave me a nickname of 'Butcher of the Dark River', I like this name very much, it is very domineering, very intimidating, and it makes people tremble when they hear it, so I simply lost the original name, and the master of the dark river is actually called Little Fat, which is too embarrassing. ”
I couldn't help but shudder at the war, this old guy is so ruthless that even our lions can't reach him, at least we won't kill indiscriminately when we are full, but he takes pleasure in killing.
"As the days go by, I don't know how long I've lived in Dark River. Suddenly, one day, a turtle came to the door, and he asked me why I was killing innocents. I'm very angry, since I came to the dark river, no one has ever dared to talk to me like this, so we fought, I didn't expect this guy to be a powerful character, although his size is not as big as mine, but his strength is not weaker than mine, and his feet are also very flexible, often give me a heavy blow in an unexpected direction, I gritted my teeth and supported more than 20 moves and finally lost, and he broke a hand and a leg. ”
The battle was shocked, "Master, why is that turtle so powerful?" Can I break your hands and feet? ”
The butcher smiled wryly, "He has practiced internal skills, of course I can't beat him." ”
"I see, he's your enemy, the master of the Tower, isn't he?"
"Not bad!" The butcher nodded, this kid is indeed smart, "Later, he wanted to take my life with one palm, and I knelt at his feet and begged bitterly, promising that I would change my past mistakes and be a new person in the future." ”
"Master, you are really amazing, you can bend and stretch." The war did not have the slightest contempt, but a face of admiration, relying on his own wisdom to save his life, which is also a kind of ability.
Those who know me, the war is also in flames! The butcher is more and more fond of this apprentice, "The turtle thought about it for a long time, and finally put down his raised palm, and then took me to the cold pool where he was cultivating, and pressed me to the bottom of the pool with a big stone. War, do you know how long he imprisoned me? ”
"Three years? Five years? Or ten years? "The war is as big as it gets.
The butcher shook his head and held out two fingers.
"Twenty years?" Tears immediately rained down in the flames of war, "Master, you have been wronged. ”
"It's two hundred years." The butcher said lightly, "But I didn't waste my time, I am a very smart person, I accidentally saw him cultivating internal strength, so I quietly followed him to practice, and unconsciously there was actually a small success." I endured the humiliation and behaved honestly in front of him, and I was reluctant to step on even a small shrimp, and finally won his trust. Later, when he found out that he was going to die, he said to me in a serious voice: 'After so many years of cultivating your mind, I believe that you have become enlightened and have completely eliminated the anger in your heart. Now I'll let you live, and you will live at the bottom of this pool! 'Want to lock me up for the rest of your life?' There are no doors! After so many years of observation, I found that there was an outlet at the bottom of the pool, and the outside was connected to the dark river, and it was the only way for me to escape. When he died, I lifted off the boulder from my body, gathered all my strength on the shell, and rushed towards the outlet, finally breaking through the rocks at the bottom of the pool and escaping, and the pool of water poured out. I suffered severe internal injuries due to the impact and spent two years recuperating from it. That day I stumbled upon a bison fighting with a man, and his internal skills are all too familiar to me, and he is in the same vein as the damned turtle. I have been in a black prison for 200 years, and although I am not dying, I am still sick with rheumatism and angina, and I will suffer for three days and three nights. It's all thanks to the tortoise, and I'm not going to stop there, and now that the tower has received his inheritance, I'm going to bear my wrath and revenge. The butcher gritted his teeth and filled his chest with anger, this is not a simple hatred in prison, he is so angry in fact there is an ulterior purpose, that Neidan he has coveted for a long time, originally thought that the iron egg was dead and was in his bag, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill an iron tower, this revenge is not avenged, he must kill him to regain Neidan.
"Alas! If only I had been more courageous at that time. "The butcher is still regretting it until now, if he launched a surprise attack when the iron egg Neidan was dying, maybe history will be rewritten, and he will not have the current troubles, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine to take in this world, once the opportunity is lost, there will be no more, blame yourself for being scared by the iron egg.
The war has long been crying silently, at first he was just making a show, hoping to get the butcher's favor, but he didn't expect to be really moved when he heard it, compared to the master, the setbacks he suffered were simply insignificant, he could start again, what reason do I have not to cheer up?
"Good boy, there are no regrets in this life to have an apprentice like you as a teacher!" The butcher gently stroked the head of the war and said hypocritically.
"So what should we do now? Do you want to kill all the people? "With the encouragement and support of the butcher, the fighting spirit is high.
"There's no need to rush." The butcher sneered, "The Iron Tower is a formidable opponent, and it is impossible to be easily defeated by us, so you must be strategic. Let's start with his men, and clear the surrounding soil like a tree, so that he becomes a bare-bones commander, and as soon as the wind blows, the tree will fall. ”
"Master, you are really an excellent military strategist." The war was so admired that he threw himself to the ground, and he seemed to see the picture of the iron tower kneeling at his feet begging for mercy, which was really beautiful!
