Chapter 248: Inheriting the Throne
The sound of the silk bud was low and soft, and the night wind blew and dispersed, and no one should have heard it.
However, at this time, a voice rang out:
"Oh, what did I promise you?"
Siya turned her head suddenly, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, walking out of the forest, the tall one was a woman in red, extremely beautiful, and the short one was a little boy with a bright gaze.
It was Chitose and Tsubazaburo who arrived.
"It's you. Siya looked at the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief, her face was sincere, "Thank you two for helping me get revenge." β
Yan Saburo tilted his head: "You're welcome, what are your plans next?"
Silk Bud said quietly: "I want to return to the Swamp of Ximian, the tribe is still waiting for me. "She is chasing the murderer for thousands of miles, and since she has completed the mission, she must go back to her life, otherwise the Blackwood tribe will no longer be able to survive in the swamp of sunset.
Yan Saburo stood on the edge of the pond and cautiously looked at the leeches inside: "Why does the Tu family raise this kind of thing in the hot spring?"
"Make money. In addition to helping to heal plagues, the iron leech has many uses for its properties, such as treating poison. Chitose snorted, "Besides, iron leeches are a specialty of Western Xinjiang, and Qianshiguo and Juyaoguo don't have them at all." I see that the number of leeches here is amazing, and the Tu family has probably swept away all these things on the black market, right? Although the Tu family has announced the prescription for curing the epidemic on the surface, if others, including the official office, cannot buy the leeches in a short period of time, they can only come to the Tu family if there is an outbreak of the epidemic. The reputation is there, the money is not less, and the abacus is very good. β
The three of them walked out together, the water bodies in the mountains were frozen, and Siya had to walk back to the nearest river to return north.
Chitose took two steps and looked sideways at Silk Bud's inquiring gaze, "Strange to say, this is the first time you've seen me in person, so why don't you seem surprised at all?"
These days, Siya has seen Yan Saburo, seen a white cat, and seen a weasel family, but she has never seen a humanoid Chitose.
Chitose's aura is so powerful that anyone who sees her for the first time will be somewhat surprised. Today she still appeared so abruptly, Siya saw her standing beside Yan Saburo, but she didn't react at all, as if this was a matter of course.
Isn't that weird?
Silk Bud blinked, "I recognize your voice." β
"I see. Chitose suddenly agreed with this statement, and asked her again, "Back to the Kuroki tribe, you are the female chief?"
Silk Bud nodded: "Yes." My mother died very early, and my father and many elders died of the disease. In terms of succession, I will inherit the position of chief. β
Yan Saburo was curious: "Is the Kuroki tribe very strong?"
Siya hummed softly: "It's not the strongest person in the swamp of Ximian, but it has been thriving and growing rapidly over the years." β
Chitose smiled and said, "Congratulations, in human terms, you can inherit the throne when you go back." β
This is not right, but Siya herself is not a human being, and she does not feel that it is wrong, and the truth is indeed such a truth.
As for Yan Saburo, he peeked at Chitose and didn't squeak.
"But you're going to go back. Chitose clasped her hands to her chest, "Did you forget something?"
Silk Yaqi said: "What do you mean?"
"Remuneration. The woman in red pouted, "The payment that should have been paid to us has not been recorded at all." β
Siya sighed and straightened up: "You have done me a great favor, and it is only natural that you will be paidβwhat do you want? β
Chitose shrugged: "Okay, give me back the transformation rune first." You won't need this stuff anymore. β
"Ah, okay. Silk Bud turned around and walked to the easternmost side of the waterhole, where there were large rocks, not as flat as the west.
She really didn't wear it on her head!Chitose smiled and followed, "You expected me to be able to track down these runes, right?"
Silk Bud blinked: "Huh?"
As she spoke, she pried up a boulder, took out the red coral hairpin that Chitose had given her earlier from underneath, and handed it over: "The fight is too fierce, I'm afraid of breaking it, hide it in advance." β
"I have a heart. Chitose looked at her and quipped, "I didn't expect you to be such a meticulous girl." "Anyway, reach out and take it.
But as soon as she raised her hand, she flexed her middle and ring fingers and pinched them. This movement is fast, and it is made in a sleeve, and no one can see it.
"Boom", the hairpin in Siya's hand suddenly exploded without warning!
The scope of the explosion was not large, Yan Saburo stood behind Chitose, blocked by the protective qi she had stretched out, only her clothes were flying, and she was not injured by the air wave.
Silk Bud wasn't so lucky.
As soon as the explosion began, a fiery snake flew all over her body, trying to completely devour her. She screamed in pain, slid backwards, and before she could react again, a white shadow flashed in front of her, and the bone chain that had just appeared once rushed at her throat, as fast as a spirit snake!
The spike at the top of the chain shimmered with cold light, and a single touch could make a hole in her neck.
At the moment when there was no room for it, Siya took out a steel fork in her hand and barely swung the lock throat, but the force on the bone chain was amazing, pushing her out a few feet more, turning over and falling into the pool!
Silk Bud was blown off her right arm, and blood gushed out, staining the water red. The swarm of leeches in the pool exploded at once, swarmed her, and pounced on her.
Yan Saburo stood on the shore only to see a piece of black pressing, and the huge merman couldn't even show a single scale, all covered by iron leeches!
The silk buds struggled, making a splash.
She should have opened the protective qi, but she couldn't last long under the thousands of big mouths of the iron leech.
Even if a shark encounters so many leeches at the same time, it is the rhythm of being sucked dry in minutes.
This series of changes is dizzying, a few breaths ago, the three of them still talked about joy and celebrated the victory together, and in a blink of an eye, Chitose used the anchor text to blow up one of the silk buds, and let her be haunted by leeches.
It's just too fast.
Yan Saburo couldn't take his eyes off it, and raised his hand to hold the wooden bell around his neck. Chitose said softly, "Don't worry, you won't be mistaken again." Raising his hand, the bone chain struck again, straight to the mermaid in the water.
The other party's miserable embarrassment, not only was she unmoved, but she also had to continue to mend the knife, and she also planned to kill with one blow!
The water splashed everywhere, but missed. The bone chain struck the boulder at the bottom of the pool, instantly poking out a finger-sized hole.
Silk Bud actually dodged, and stopped struggling, and slowly stood up.
The mermaid used to have the ability to stand upright in the water, but now the iron leeches on her body have fallen one after another, not only no longer attached, but even shrunk into a ball, and sank straight down after entering the water.
At some point, a stream of black liquid spread under the water, but it was the same color as an iron leech, and it was inconspicuous. But it spread very quickly, and in a few breaths, it filled the pool, and the originally clear pool water instantly became filthy and greasy like black pulp, and even a few bubbles appeared on the surface.
