Chapter 9: Assassination
Ye Chen followed Mu Lao to the depths of the woods, looking down to check the condition of Tie Dan'er as he walked, the little guy was lying on his hand with a weak breath, his half-opened eyes were full of whites, half of his tongue was leaking from his mouth, and his limbs and paws were hanging weakly, as if his soul had been sucked away, and he would not wake up no matter how Ye Chen fiddled.
Mu Lao led the way in front leisurely, as if he had eyes behind his back, and he didn't look back and advised: "Don't toss that little thing, it's fine, it's just that the soul power is imprisoned by the soul sealing spell, and the time limit will be fine as soon as it passes." ”
The more Ye Chen listened, the more confused he became, and hurriedly asked: "How long will it be effective at that time, and what is the soul sealing spell." ”
Mu Lao stopped and turned to look at Ye Chen, and teased with a sly smile on his face: "A question is a piece of beef patty." When he saw Ye Chen's helpless appearance, he laughed and explained: "The time limit is about five days, but it also depends on the soul beast itself, it may be extended or shortened, and it varies from beast to beast." ”
"As for the Soul Sealing Spell, it is made by a high-level beast master, who sealed the soul technique in the crystal nucleus through a secret method, and the one in the small thing should be made by someone who has just been promoted to the Beast Controlling Grandmaster."
Mu Lao answered the inquiry very confidently, and also estimated the level of the maker by the way.
Ye Chen was shocked when he heard this, this Han family is really wealthy, and what the Beast Control Sect Master made was used as soon as he said it.
But why? Even if you can't help but tie Dan'er, you are not Han Wanglong's opponent, no matter how many good things you have, it won't be so wasted!
Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled face, Mu Lao said again: "I'll give you another one for free, the Han family probably took a fancy to your soul beast, thinking that you were a master-servant contract, so they used the soul sealing spell to block the contract connection, or if you die, the soul beast will be gone." ”
Ye Chen suddenly realized, it turned out that the extraordinariness of Tie Dan'er had been noticed by the Han family, they were going to kill people and take beasts, if it weren't for that kind of mastery, they would really be explained in the arena today.
Knowing the reason, Ye Chen had a headache, he didn't know how the Han family would retaliate if he killed Han Wanglong this time, he had to be more careful in the future, otherwise he would die ugly.
The two walked a little further, and a simple wooden house came into view, built against a large tree, the whole of which was made of wood, and the surroundings of the house were very clean, and it should have been regularly tended.
In front of the wooden house, Mu Lao couldn't wait to rush in, picked up the wine jug on the shelf, and drank it with a very pleasant expression.
Ye Chen also followed, looking around, there were wooden beds and wooden tables at the window, and there was a pen and a few familiar small books on the table, which should be used to record the mastery, and there was the shelf next to Mu Lao, which was full of things, and many Ye Chen had never seen it.
Mu Lao drank heavily, and then generously handed the wine jug to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn't hesitate, took the wine jug and drank it in a big gulp, in fact, he didn't know how to drink, but there were too many things that had happened recently, and the emotions in his heart were too complicated, so he simply borrowed wine to soothe it.
The little wine left was quickly drunk by Ye Chen, not to mention that this wine was really delicious, several fruity flavors were mixed together, sweet and slightly spicy, and the warmth spread very comfortably after drinking it into the stomach, and even the pain and fatigue were alleviated.
Ye Chen licked his lips, sipped the remaining wine into his mouth, and then handed the empty wine jug back, Mu Lao took the wine jug with a smile, and poured it hard a few times in front of his eyes, looking at him stunned.
Before Ye Chen could think about it, he heard Mu Lao say regretfully: "You kid is really welcome, who let you drink it, this is a rare good wine, how do you compensate me?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen was dumbfounded, he could be so shameless, when he took the wine jug, there was not much wine left, and he drank everything, this old man clearly wanted to slander people.
"Young people dare to drink and dare to be, besides, I also gave you cheats, and you still owe me two pieces of meatloaf."
The cunning Mu Lao would not give Ye Chen a chance to defend himself.
Ye Chen was speechless, what people said made sense, drinking people's mouths is short and people's hands are short, even if he knows that it is a pit, he can only jump in.
"Okay, I'll admit it, you always say how to pay for it."
Seeing Ye Chen's recognition, Mu Laoxi smiled and hurriedly said: "It's easy to do, there is a hill in the north, there is a group of stupid monkeys there, and they have this wine in their hole, you fill this wine pot and bring it back, and we will tear it out." ”
Ye Chen shook his head again and again when he heard this, it turned out that this wine was not made by him, and he had to go to the monkey cave to grab it, it was really a shame that he thought of it, but since he agreed to go, he must get more, only get a pot but not his own share.
After figuring it out, Ye Chen took the wine jug and said briskly: "Okay, let's make a decision, besides, there are empty wine jugs that I haven't borrowed a few!" ”
After listening to Ye Chen's words, Mu Lao was not surprised at all, and quickly took out two empty wine jugs, and pushed him out with a shog in Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen was also convinced, and was calculated to death by this old man, so he could only sigh helplessly, holding the iron egg and carrying the wine jug all the way to the north.
Soon after Ye Chen left, a large ice-blue snake crawled out from the back of the house.
This big snake, with sharp horns on its forehead, a huge head, a thick body like a tank, and meat wings on both sides of the snake's neck, crawled to Mu Lao's side and lowered his head intimately, the old man gently stroked the snake's head, and put a box to its mouth, the big snake opened its mouth to hold the box, looked up at Mu Lao and quickly left.
Ye Chen shuttled flexibly through the forest, the burns on his skin were basically scabbed and not very painful, the whole person was full of energy and his whole body was warm, this wine was not only delicious, but also healed and healthy, no wonder Mu Lao wanted to slander people.
After a period of hurrying, Ye Chen came to the bottom of the hill, the cave above was visible to the naked eye, and many monkeys were very lively in and out.
Sure that he was in the right place, Ye Chen didn't delay in making preparations any longer, first tore off a few strips of cloth from his trouser legs, tied the soft iron eggs around his waist, picked up a sturdy wooden stick, waved it casually a few times, and rushed up the mountain.
At this point, a human-monkey war began.
At first, the monkeys were rushed by Ye Chen, but under the leadership of the Monkey King, they immediately began to fight back, and then Ye Chen, the wooden stick in his hand was hit again and again, and his feet were kicked and kicked, and the monkeys who rushed up were put on the ground, and it took a lot of effort to rush into the cave.
The space in the cave is not large, there are several small holes in the cave wall, and the innermost stone pit is full of wine.
But at this moment, the iron egg on his waist suddenly broke free from the binding and fell to the ground, and then he shrugged his nose and ran towards a small hole, which frightened Ye Chen a lot, and hurriedly chased after him.
But it was still a step too late, and I saw Tie Dan'er rush into the small hole with a slight leap and soon disappeared.
This cave is too small, and the anxious Ye Chen can only call out loudly at the entrance of the cave: "Tie Dan'er, Tie Dan'er, come back quickly, don't run around!" ”
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see Tie Dan'er come back.
Seeing that the call was useless, Ye Chen immediately closed his eyes and used his soul power to communicate with Tie Dan'er, and soon felt a hint of response, and slowly the response became stronger and stronger, he opened his eyes happily, and saw that Tie Dan'er was running towards him, although the little guy was running fast, his limbs were very uncoordinated, and his eyes were godless, his mouth was still chewing stiffly, and there was a faint black light in his mouth.
When approaching the entrance of the cave, Tie Dan'er had already swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then after a few swings, he lay down at the entrance of the cave with a "chirp", motionless.
"Damn, what's the situation?"
Quickly pulled Tie Dan'er out of the hole to look through the inspection, rubbed his stomach and shook it, and even grabbed its hind legs for a few turns, but let Ye Chen toss, the little guy didn't spit out what he ate, and returned to his unconscious and soft lying on his stomach.
Ye Chen couldn't understand what was going on, so he could only hope that Mu Lao could find out the reason, he tied Tie Dan'er back to his waist, trotted to the edge of the wine pond and filled all the wine jugs, and then ran out of the cave in a hurry, and did not entangle with the monkeys, he rushed out after a few hard hits, and ran in the direction of the wooden house.
In the main courtyard, outside the dean's interior, the ice-blue snake spit the wooden box on the ground, and quickly climbed over the wall to leave after hitting the door a few times in a very humane manner, and soon the door of the inner room opened, and a middle-aged man in a white tutor uniform came out, picked up the wooden box on the ground and closed the door and left.
The sky was getting dark, a bonfire had been lit in front of the wooden house, and there were two meat skewers by the fire, which had been roasted, and Mu Lao sat leisurely next to him and sprinkled some salt from time to time.
At this time, heavy footsteps came, and a figure quickly approached the wooden house, it was the anxious Ye Chen, he ran directly to Mu Lao'er, and said while handing Tie Dan'er over: "Mu Lao, look at Tie Dan'er, it woke up in the monkey cave just now, ran out and didn't know what it ate, and came back and fainted." ”
Mu Lao frowned when he heard this, didn't he just go to grab some wine, why was he still awake and eating and fainting, but seeing that Ye Chen's anxious expression didn't look like a fake, he hurriedly took the iron egg and checked.
After some inspection, Mu Lao's brows furrowed even tighter.
Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Old Mu, what's wrong with Tie Dan'er, will it be fine?" ”
Interrupted by his thoughts, Mu Lao raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "It's nothing, isn't this the same as before, it's not uncommon to wake up occasionally, it is estimated that I am hungry, as for what I eat, it is not a big deal if it is not easy to digest." ”
Ye Chen felt that the old man was a little perfunctory, so he asked, "Are you sure it's okay, it's not me?" ”
This made Mu Lao anxious, and threw the iron egg at him with a black face and said, "Believe it or not, don't believe it, you can study it yourself." ”
This time, Ye Chen was speechless, how could this old man turn his face faster than turning a book, but he was still not at ease and begged: "Don't be angry, you see that I have taken all the wine back, so take more trouble to take a good look at it." ”
"Look at the fart, I said it's okay, it's okay, give me back the wine, if you're not hungry, just play."
After Mu Lao finished speaking, he no longer bothered with Ye Chen.
At this point, the old and the young began to share wine and eat meat, and Ye Chen was also hungry, splashing the oil juice from the barbecue bite, and drinking a few sips of wine from time to time, full of old drunkard demeanor.
And Mu Lao on the surface, while eating and drinking, but in his heart he pondered about the iron egg, the little guy ate something very strange, he had never been exposed to that kind of energy, the essence of that energy is very tyrannical, but in the little guy's stomach is extremely docile, I don't know if it can be digested, but it is useless to tell this kid, you can only ask for more blessings.
The bonfire was swaying, the wine and food were delicious, and Ye Chen's mouth was full of oil and drinking, and he didn't snore loudly until late at night.
In the middle of the night, in the dormitory area of the Beast Control Branch, four black shadows climbed over the wall, they were dressed in black, and their faces were covered with black cloth, two of them sneaked to a dormitory, and the other two hid in a tree.
Under the moonlight, the two black-clothed men carried daggers upside down, approached the dormitory lightly, and when they reached the door, the light on their hands instantly covered the dagger, and they violently stepped forward and slammed the door open with their shoulders and rushed in.
"Someone sneak attacked" The silent dormitory area was ignited by this loud roar, and the figures of the three soul beasts rushed towards the dormitory, and the rest of the dormitories also lit up the lights and ran out of the dormitory.
The two people hidden in the tree took in the scene below, and as the lights turned on, the surroundings were no longer so dark, and three strong soul beasts blocked the door of the dormitory, and the two people in the room rushed out several times and were beaten back, and there were more and more people and beasts around.
The two of them on the tree glanced at each other, and then the magic surged, and they whispered a spell, one condensed wind blade and the other condensed fireball, and after a while, a low cry sounded, and a wind blade shot into the dormitory with a fireball.
With a loud "boom", the three soul beasts were blown away, and the surrounding crowd was also shocked, and the roof of the dormitory was directly blown away, and the walls were full of cracks.
A gust of wind blew, carrying away all the dust, silence returned to the surroundings, and the people in the trees were gone.
