Chapter 61
If he heard such provocative words in normal times, the chieftain would definitely be furious.But at this moment, he just snorted coldly, with the corners of his mouth raised, with a smile that was not a smile.
"If you still want to get some lip service, you might as well hurry up and say a few more words, because after a while, I promise you won't even be able to scream."
The giant wolf originally looked disdainful, but at this moment Sen Lu's eyes immediately flashed a bit of unconcealable uneasiness.You Huang was also laughing, but when he heard the coldness in Chief's tone, he suddenly felt a chill running up his spine, and his smile also froze.Even in the barbaric and martial Beiming, the harsh punishments in the beast prison in Ye'an City are notorious, which shows that the chieftain is very good at this.There are no handy tools in the wilderness here, but if he does it intentionally, it will be nothing more than a simple effort to torture people to death.
The chieftain was unaware of the changes in the expressions of the other people, narrowed his bright red pupils slightly, and continued to threaten: "...Then it's your turn to say, how many troops have come for this joint operation? But there are follow-up reinforcements? How about it?" Layout plan? How do the five of you divide the work? Who will give orders? How will you pass messages to each other?"
The giant wolf paused and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"
Chief leisurely said: "Why not? Now that it has fallen into my hands, there is no need to think about going back. If you are honest and happy, how about I consider keeping your whole body? ——Or, do you expect those few Can the guy come to save you?" When he said this, his tone was ironic.
The giant wolf fell silent suddenly, and all the demons of Beiming swept the snow in front of the door. It knew that if it died this time, not only would no one come to rescue it, but its fiefs would be divided up and taken away.After trying to struggle a few times, the curse restrained it even more tightly, and almost the whole body fell to the ground.
Seeing it shaken, the chief said again: "...Don't be brave. Tell me what I want earlier, and you will suffer less. Otherwise——"
Suddenly there was a roar, and a dazzling light shot out, as fast as lightning, and rushed straight towards the chieftain.
"Be careful—" Before You Huang could finish screaming, the white-clothed figure had quickly avoided and moved seven steps away. There was a loud bang, leaving a big hole in place, and green smoke rising straight up.
With this attack, the giant wolf completely lost its strength, and could only stare angrily around in vain.
The chieftain dusted off his robe, and saw that the snow-white satin surface had been smoky in several places, making it extremely black and ugly, and the smile that was supposed to be mild on his face immediately turned chilly: "...it seems that you really want to Don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine...?"
At this time, several disciples of the top ten sects staying nearby also gathered curiously when they heard the movement. The chief cast a glance at them, and politely said to a young female disciple of Bing Xintang: "Miss, what is the use of your hand?" Needles that don’t touch? Could you give me a pair for next time?”
Although he still has the face of the demon race, he is still handsome and unparalleled.The female disciple's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were bright, and she raised her hand to hand him the weapon in her hand.Chief refused to answer, and repeated: "...No need." Seeing that everyone was in a daze, he had to add, "...Maybe after I finish using it, you won't want to go back too much."
You Huang opened his eyes wide and watched as Chief took a few shiny silver needles from Bing Xin's disciple, leaped lightly onto the wolf's head, and inserted two into the back of the head.Immediately, the giant wolf let out a miserable howl, trembling all over, the tip of its claws dug into the mud, scratching out a deep ravine.
Chief held two more needles and was about to continue when he suddenly remembered something. Seeing that everyone was looking up at him with strange expressions, he frowned and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Avert your eyes and stay where you are cool." .Otherwise, don’t blame Ben Hou if you can’t eat dinner later.”

Zhuo Junwu carried a water bag and handed it to You Huang who was sitting on a boulder in the forest: "...Thirsty?"
"...Thank you, Master Zhuo." Although as a ghost, Youhuang has not experienced the feeling of "thirst" for many years, but he still took a sip from the water bag and handed it back. After all, Zhuo Junwu was obviously not here to deliver water. But I have something to tell him.
Thinking of this, You Huang moved aside, and Zhuo Junwu sat down side by side, and together he looked at the dark jungle surrounded by mist, the huge city towering into the clouds behind the jungle, and the light wall that flowed straight to the sky.
After being silent for a while, Zhuo Junwu sighed: "The magic power that maintains the barrier is indeed very powerful. Counting from the time I first entered Eternal Night City, it has been seen from the top of Aileng Mountain every day for more than ten years. Never seen it decay more than half a point."
You Huang folded his legs, put his chin on his knees, his bright red pupils were a little bit blue reflected by the light wall: "Yes, it can enclose an entire city, no one can enter and no one can exit. If In the mortal world, there are probably few people who can do it... However, the chieftain was consumed by it, even if he stayed away from the enchantment later, it was still the same... He pretended to be brave and refused to say it, but I could feel it." After a pause, his tone became more gloomy, "...I want to help him, but I don't know how to do it. According to the stone tablet, the method of making the enchantment comes from the Nine Heavens Ascension Ceremony. They haven’t been able to crack it completely, so it’s probably extremely difficult.”
Zhuo Junwu nodded and said: "...I have heard the allusion from Ye Ge before." After thinking for a while, he said, "However... if one day the method to break the barrier is in front of you, you Will you really help him break it?"
You Huang immediately jumped up when he heard the words: "That's natural! Why—" Halfway through speaking, his voice suddenly became much quieter.
Zhuo Junwu looked at him, with an inexplicable expression in his dark eyes: "...you just watched him torture that day Xinghou, and you seemed a little unhappy."
"I... I'm not that ignorant of the general situation. Now that the situation is urgent, and that wolf demon doesn't take soft words, he can only follow the authority in a hurry, so he can only—" You Huang argued, but the speed of speaking gradually slowed down, "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that I'm a little...uh...not used to it. After all, I haven't seen such a scene for a long time. Those few injections seemed to make the wolf monster hurt a lot. But no matter what, it's them The matter of the demon race has nothing to do with our Great Wilderness—"
Before the words fell, there was another extremely mournful howl from the depths of the forest not far away, it was already a little hoarse, and then the movement suddenly quieted down, as if someone had cast a sound-proof spell.
Zhuo Junwu was silent for a while, and said: "Then... have you ever thought about how you will treat if one day he lifts the barrier seal, restores his original strength, and leads an army of demons to covet my land in the wild... ?”
"Then how could it be? All the chieftain's mind is to seek revenge from King Youdu, so he has no leisure..." You Huang paused, knowing that what Zhuo Junwu said might not become a reality, he opened his mouth for a long time before finally Reluctantly continued, "...Even if there is, it will be a matter of the future."
Zhuo Junwu looked worried, and sighed lowly: "I didn't intend to provoke you, but after all, he is a demon, and you are human... There are too many things that are unavoidable and forced by the world. I can see that , he is changing for you little by little. For a once-strongest Beiming Demon Race, this is really extremely valuable. But to what extent he can change everything is still unknown. On the contrary Come here, are you ready to change for him? Which of your code of conduct and way of life can be compromised, and which must be followed? Today you feel uncomfortable when you see him torture a prisoner of war. In the future, we will encounter some more bloody and cruel situations—"
Hearing this, You Huang realized that Zhuo Junwu was here to enlighten him, and couldn't help but want to explain: "I'm not afraid of blood, I know what kind of temperament he is, after all..." After thinking for a while, he said, "...I understand what Master Zhuo means. No matter what, I will never let him down. Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that I asked Master Zhuo when I was in Eternal Night City half a year ago, if you and Yege doesn't have the fetters of the Lantern Envoy and the Lantern Spirit, would you really kill him. Do you still remember how he answered?"
When Zhuo Junwu heard him mention Yege, there was a trace of undetectable sadness in his expression, and he said softly: "Remember... I will."
"So..." You Huang lowered his head slightly, stopped looking at him, and fixed his eyes on the toes of his boots, "If the situation that I least want to see happens, I... I will fight with you Master Zhuo made the same choice."
I don't know how long I sat there, the sky gradually darkened, and there was no other sound in the surrounding dense forest except for the occasional birdsong and wind.You Huang collected dry dead branches and lit the bonfire, Zhuo Junwu was helping, and saw the chief pushed aside the layers of bushes, Shi Shiran walked over, holding a fluffy ball in one hand, I don't know what it is .
You Huang immediately greeted him: "... Are you done asking?"
"I'm done asking, I know everything I want to know." Chief said, and took a few steps closer.
You Huang looked up and down again, and saw that the smoky black robe had returned to its original whiteness, the black hair tips were moist and smooth, sticking tightly to the temples, and the body also exuded the faint fragrance of water after bathing. Can't help but ask: "...you are?"
Chief also looked down at himself: "There is some blood on my body, I just found a place to wash it off - but what's wrong?"
"No." You Huang shook his head quickly, knowing that his performance just now had been seen by the Chief, "This is pretty good. ——What is it in your hand?"
The chief shook off the furry mass, You Huang and Zhuo Junwu exclaimed at the same time, and saw that the thing was grayish brown, smooth and smooth, but it was a wolf skin that had just been peeled off.It has probably been washed, and there is no trace of blood, only the tip of the hair is still slightly damp, and there are clusters of small thorns.
Now Zhuo Junwu was also surprised, and said, "What do you want this thing for?"
Chief cast a glance at You Huang and said, "I heard that you Ghost Mo has a skill of painting skin, isn't it?"
You Huang was stunned, nodded and said: "Exactly, in normal times, you can transform into someone else's shape with just pen and ink, but there are many loopholes in this way, and the duration is not long. And Huapi Huapi, if you really find the other person Put the skin on your body, and then draw a few strokes, then it will be so lifelike that you won’t be able to recognize it.” Speaking of this, he suddenly understood what the chief meant, “……you want to pretend to be the Xinghou of that day?”
Chief laughed immediately, his red eyes were shining, showing two sharp teeth, he was a bit mischievous: "...what's the idea?"
You Huang looked at him and sighed: "You have already planned to do this, right? But didn't you just say that you would leave a whole body for Xinghou that day?"
The chief said: "Anyway, he is dead....Besides, he didn't answer my question honestly."
