Chapter 20
After the slaughter was over, the hundreds of monsters who were barking their teeth and claws just now were all reduced to ashes, and the blue blood soaked the soil.The chieftain ordered his subordinates to move quickly, and hid in the Xiaoye jungle southwest of Yeming City before another wave of pursuers arrived.This place is filled with dense fog and overgrown with vegetation, so a huge army hides in it, and it doesn't take much effort to conceal its whereabouts.
Huaijiang seemed to be extremely hostile to Youhuang, but because the chieftain was in front of him, he didn't say much, he just kept staring at him with those black eyes, and touched the handle of his knife with his right hand. touch.Youhuang knew that Huaijiang probably remembered that he had abducted his family lord, so he felt a little guilty.He raised his eyes and saw that the chief was rushing forward and back to settle the large army and could not take care of himself, he couldn't help touching his nose, and dragged Yu Xin to sneak back to Yeming City to inquire about news.
Zhang Kaifeng avoided the crowd of busy monsters and found a secluded place to be alone.When the chieftain went to look for him, the young Youdu Demon Lord was sitting under a wisteria tree, holding a piece of deerskin and carefully wiping his blood-stained long sword. The habit of Jiange disciples cherishing swords has been inherited from childhood to the present. unchanged.Wisteria petals fell on his white clothes with the wind, bit by bit, echoing the complicated and gorgeous borders, making it more elegant and quiet.
The chieftain had no intention of admiring the beauty.He has seen too many beautiful people, but he has a martial nature.No matter how beautiful the appearance is, it is useless in his eyes if there is no power to restrain the chicken.What made Chief feel that he had to come in person no matter what was the abnormality Zhang Kaifeng showed during today's battle.
With different experiences, different personalities, and different habits, everyone will have their own style when doing things.People who are familiar with each other can often judge whether the other party's emotions are normal from some extremely small details, such as footsteps, tone of voice, small movements, etc.
Chief is very familiar with Zhang Kaifeng's fighting style. After all, the child's sword skills were honed little by little under his own eyes.Zhang Kaifeng's sword is extremely cold and fast, when he swings it, it is like splashing jade and shattering ice, so light and delicate that even the sound of the wind can't be heard, but wherever it passes, the enemies are all spattered with blood three feet away, and their bodies are separated from each other.
Just after this battle, the white-clothed devil was uncharacteristically open and closed in his movements, wild and unrestrained, extremely publicized, as if he thought that the blood flowed all over the sky was not enough, and the stumps all over the ground were not chopped enough, so he had to cut it up again. Open some, chop some.Chief himself almost lives on blood, and has seen many monsters who also enjoy blood killing, but he never imagined that one day he would also see that kind of bloodthirsty and frenzied in the eyes of this usually calm young man. breath.Although Zhang Kaifeng has concealed it very well, he can't hide it from others, but he can't hide it from him who has a very keen intuition after many battles.
What's more, Youdu Demon Lord doesn't like unnecessary killing.But this time, it was he who took the initiative to mention that he wanted to wipe out those monsters.
Before approaching, Zhang Kaifeng had already noticed it, stopped his work, raised his head and smiled at him: "... Are you done?"
The chieftain stopped, brushed off the wisteria petals floating on his shoulders, and nodded: "It's not easy to find a place for thousands of monsters in the wild at once, but fortunately, they are almost settled now."
Zhang Kaifeng continued to laugh: "Thank you for your hard work. Such a large army suddenly rushed out without any preparation. Even Lord Wumeihou, who is good at managing the army, would have to be in a hurry for a while. ——You really didn't expect Huaijiang and I will come to you?"
"——I didn't expect that." Chief replied honestly, "In the past history of Beiming, how many princes fell without even leaving their bones. I just think that if I lose power, you probably won't take the initiative to embarrass me. But monsters have always been cold-tempered. Bo, as for the others, I really can't hope—"
"It's just 'not embarrassing'?" Zhang Kaifeng said, "Just talk about me. But Huai Jiang has worked hard with you for hundreds of years, and his loyalty is as good as the sun and the moon. Now you give him such a comment , I cried for that wooden face."
Speaking of Huaijiang, the chief looked at the white-clothed devil in front of him again, and then realized that something was wrong. He didn't see the tall figure of the dog demon accompanying him.Can't help asking: "Kai Feng, why don't you see Jie?"
He just asked casually, but just as he finished speaking, Zhang Kaifeng's face turned pale suddenly, his body trembled undetectably, and then he fell silent.
Chief's pupils shrank, realizing something, and immediately shut up.
In silence, the wind blows, blowing the branches and leaves above the head, rustling endlessly.Immediately, large pieces of wisteria petals scattered and fell in all directions, like a burst of purple rain, and the raindrops fell on the hair and clothes of the two of them.However, after all, they are not poets who mourn the spring and autumn. Facing such a beautiful scenery, none of them could feel any emotion in their hearts.
After a long time, he suddenly sighed softly, feeling endless loss: "I... took him out of your dangerous arena, but I couldn't take him out of an ordinary human village."
The chief replied: "...people are sometimes more dangerous and terrifying than monsters."
"Yes. You said this, but I didn't take it to heart at the time, and now I have learned a lesson." A pale smile appeared on Zhang Kaifeng's face, paused, and said: "Huaijiang said you were missing, but you are still there. A lot of blood was found on the road leading to the outside of the barrier. I'm afraid you will be in danger. When I received the news, I was really scared. I was still planning. I said I would help you leave Ye'an City, so I must do it. Where Knowing that you are so impatient, I don't want to wait a little longer."
"...You come and go freely in the Great Northern Sea, how can you still take care of me? I have not counted on you for a long time." Chief snorted.
"How could it be? Why am I so heartless?" Zhang Kaifeng protested, his delicate face puffed up slightly at the moment, revealing a bit of childhood cuteness, "I know you and Jie best in the whole of Beiming, now that he's gone, You can't die anymore."
Chief was stunned, hearing what he said, even though he was usually cold, he couldn't help being slightly moved at this moment.After carefully looking at the young man's expression, he confirmed that at least on the surface, he had returned to normal, and quietly let out a sigh of relief.Over the thousands of years, Chief had seen too many life and death, and didn't feel that he had to comfort Zhang Kaifeng at this moment, and the other party obviously didn't need it.
Now that I know the reason and have nothing to do, I don't need to keep it.He took a deep breath and said, "I spent so much time with you before I knew it, maybe they still want to look for me. Do you want to go back to the camp with me now, or stay here?"
Zhang Kaifeng thought for a while and said, "You go. I want to sit for a while."
Chief nodded, turned around and took two steps back, then stopped suddenly, and said: "Dinner is served at Xushi, don't be late."
Zhang Kaifeng didn't know if he heard it, but he didn't answer for a long time.
When there was no answer, the chief just stood there, waiting silently.It was not until a long time later that the word "good" came out from behind.Chief took another step to leave, and heard Zhang Kaifeng ask: "Is it spicy?"
Before he knew it, a smile filled the corners of his eyes, and Chief said leisurely: "I don't know, I'll ask."
Determined
