Chapter 44: Drawing Silk (II)
The night on the Great Wasteland was dark and deserted, and there was darkness all around, only a few stars hanging high in the sky in the night sky, bringing some insignificant starlight to the world.
The night was a little cold, the wind blew, and the chill was biting.
The scream just now was long gone, and looking at this silent wilderness, it was as if it had never existed. The shadows are heavy, floating in the dark, making people a little trance and fearful.
Yin He frowned, stood in place and thought and waited for a moment, then squatted down and gently pressed one ear to the ground.
In the Far More Modern Places of the Inner Ring, people need to learn more skills to survive in order to survive and fight against terrifying monsters that never appear outside the world.
The earth was quiet, there seemed to be no sound, but the earth was also very honest, and after Yin He listened carefully and with extraordinary patience, there was finally a strange sound, which came from a certain direction.
It seemed to be a moan, with a bit of tragedy, mixed with a bit of terrible and savage laughter.
Yin He slowly stood up, staring into the depths of the darkness ahead, and after a moment, he gently pulled out the sharp long knife beside him, and walked silently towards the source of the sound in front of him in the night.

Late at night, unlike the great wasteland immersed in endless darkness, the holy city of the Terrans seemed to be of no one of this world, with many torches lit on the high walls and many streets in the city.
While most people are sleeping peacefully, there are still some silent people who are still awake, holding on to their duty to keep the darkness out of the light. Including some of the warriors, they even threw themselves into the vast darkness, walking alone.
In the Ji family's mansion in the holy city, the door of the high-rise study was pushed open, and a tired Ji Hou walked in, shaking his head and moving his arms, looking like he had just finished a physically and mentally exhausted battle.
Walking to the desk, he poured a glass of water and found that it was cold, he hesitated, but still took a sip, then closed his eyes and let out a sigh. After a while, he turned and walked to the window, pushing open the window and looking out.
At the door of the mansion with bright lights in the dark night, a group of tall Desolate people were walking out of the door, and his henchman Wen Yun walked with them with a smile on his face, and sent them to the extravagant golden carriages parked at the door, which were very rare even in the families of the Holy City Terran family.
In the distance, you can still hear the words of the loud voices characteristic of the desolate people, their voices are low and hoarse, and the Terran words are stumbling, but none of this can hide their joy in the slightest.
These desolate people are the leaders of the White Horse tribe, in a sense, they are the noble families of the tribe, they wear the traditional white turban, and a white dress is the traditional clothing of the White Horse tribe, but other than that, they have nothing to do with the desolate people.
They were dressed in luxury, with huge gold chains wrapped around their necks, seven or eight glittering gold bracelets on each wrist, gold belts studded with rare gems around their waists, and even their boots were glittering with gold.
With so much gold hanging on the body, it is probably impossible for an ordinary human race to withstand this weight, but for a desolate person who is born with a strong physique, it can be easily beared. So they brazenly flaunted their wealth and flamboyantly flamboyantly and lawlessly.
This kind of extravagance, even the top figures of the human race like Ji Hou have rarely seen it.
He stood by the window, looked at the people of the White Horse tribe who were selling their extravagance in the night, sighed, and shook his head.
Below, Wen Yun finally sent away these "glittering" uncles, and when he turned around, even if he was so far away, Ji Hou could see that the smile on the face of his henchman disappeared suddenly, and his face seemed to suddenly collapse, looking tired like he was loveless.
Somehow, Ji Hou suddenly felt better, laughed, and then stretched out the window, waved his hand at Wen Yun in the dark night, and smiled.
Wen Yun also saw this scene, rolled his eyes, showed a helpless look on his face, and walked in.
After about a cup of tea, Wen Yun knocked on the door of the study and walked in.
Ji Hou, who had already sat back at the desk, poured a glass of water with a smile, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, even the water is cold in the middle of the night, but I still drink a little to continue my breath." ”
Wen Yun was not polite, took it and drank it all, then smiled bitterly, and said, "It's really the first time I've seen such a desolate person in my life." ”
"Who said it wasn't!" Ji Hou said with emotion, "When I was young, I killed the wasteland, and when I was old, I persuaded the wasteland, and I have dealt with the wasteland all my life, and I have never seen such a money-obsessed guy, but I can't beat or scold, coaxing them to do things, more tired than anything else." ”
Wen Yun persuaded: "My lord, you want to open some, these are just temporary fatigue, and the things that these people can help us do in the future are far more than our fatigue today." ”
"That's it. Ji Hou sneered and said, "A thousand catties of gold is enough to buy the lives of three hundred desolate and strong men, it's really a good deal." Now that I think about it, when Lao Tzu was young, he swore a heavy oath to the holy city, and then went out of the city to fight to the death, was born and died, tossed in the sea of swords and fires, and every time he killed a desolate person, he took off a layer of skin, and walked through the ghost gate, it was really like a joke!"
Wen Yun glanced at him, with a little concern on his face, and said softly, "Your Excellency, ......"
Ji Hou waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just a few complaints because of feelings." Now these desolate people of the White Horse Tribe are our favorite, although they are disgusting to death, they still have to smile at each other. I know these things. ”
Wen Yun nodded, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Anyway, they actually agreed so happily to send the strong Ding population, and sure enough, Lord Black Turtle has the right eye." ”
"That old guy has long since become a sperm. Ji Hou smiled, praised the old turtle lord, and then said to Wen Yun, "You have worked hard today, you can go and rest first." But tomorrow morning, you have to get up early, and then help me go and invite Lao Long and Xiahou to come over, I have something to talk to them. ”
Wen Yun stood up and said, "I know, but is there anything you asked them to come over, is there anything you need me to arrange?"
Ji Hou sneered and said, "No need, I called them over to help them." ”
Wen Yun was taken aback and said, "What?"
Ji Hou snorted, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Those two old guys are probably having a headache for the high priest's order now, then let me help them solve it, five thousand gold and three hundred desolate people, what do you think?"
Wen Yun was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did he say, "Okay, good way......"
