Chapter 70: It's Late (One More Shot)
"I hope that my friend can protect the fairy's safety. If there is any impulse, I will help the whole clan and have no complaints."
Before Shisanlang could reply, grandpa said the answer himself, and then explained: "In fact, my real intention is for the clan members. If the fairy can take our clan members into the clan, the Mujia Village will survive forever."
After hearing grandpa's words, Thirteen Lang thought.
Shisanlang is not unfamiliar with the so-called clan. In order to survive, some small clans rely on the strong, and the whole clan becomes a presence similar to a servant. The strong men they depend on usually provide them with shelter and are not annexed by foreign enemies or other races. With Dingdang's mind, the old man's actions are beyond refutation; however, although Dingdang is mysterious, he cannot be considered a strong man after all, so there is only one possibility left. Grandpa speculates about Dingdang's identity, but dares not make it clear, and can only express his loyalty in disguise.
Knowing too much secrets is not a good thing for mountain people like Mujiazhai; in extreme cases, the entire clan may be exterminated because of certain secrets. The old man's move is mostly due to double considerations and may not be indifferent to guard against it.
As his mind moved, Shisanlang said, "Dingdang's mind is pure and kind, and grandpa is worried too much."
Shisanlang has always maintained cautious respect for the old man in front of him. He could see that the old man had feelings for his tribe and naturally had some guesses about his intentions. However, with his identity, some of the joints could not be thought through thoroughly and were not suitable for inquiries, so he could only pretend to be indifferent and unfathomable, waiting for the old man's explanation.
Grandpa was undoubtedly wise, but no matter how wise he was, he never thought that Shisanlang was a person in the spiritual realm, and he actually knew nothing about Dingdang. In his eyes, the fairy was seriously injured but walked with this young man, and treated him with his elder brother's courtesy, which undoubtedly represented a lot. He even had some speculations that this eight-fingered young man was mostly from that place like a fairy.
From another perspective, if Shisanlang is like Dingdang, he is so noble that he is unimaginable, but now he is facing some kind of trouble that is unknown to outsiders. Whether he wants or not, he needs to make a choice.
"Mujia Village was passed down from Lao I. It has been a thousand years since then. Although I have experienced many risks, I have never been like before me. I am worried about the nearest troubles and are almost at the critical moment of life and death. Although Lao I have selfish intentions, I am considering the whole clan. I hope my friends will understand it."
Unable to tell anything from Shisanlang's words, the old man had to give up the test and said honestly: "The fairy had great kindness to our clan and pointed out the mystery for me, which made me see the hope of forming a golden elixir. Originally, I thought that this was the mercy of God, and Mujia Village had the opportunity to prosper."
Shisanlang nodded, agreeing with him very much. If there is a monk in Mujia Village who is in charge and can use materials to refine pills that will greatly increase the strength of ordinary people, as long as you have enough time to grow, you may not be able to become a big clan. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an opportunity for the prosperity of the entire clan.
The excitement in his eyes lasted for a moment, and the old man's eyes dimmed again, saying, "I didn't expect that something happened one after another. Since the fairy left, Mujiazhai has encountered crises one after another. If we cannot plan in time, we will probably end up being annexed and driven by others and have nothing to do."
Mu Yuanlang had previously revealed some of the crisis in Mujiazhai, but Shisanlang knew nothing about the autumn hunting or the Rising Wind Beast. He didn't want to cause trouble at all when he first arrived in the Demon Realm, and he didn't take it much. He just wanted to wait for Dingdang to get more spirit and ask about the characteristics of the Rising Wind Beast, just in case it would be fine if he didn't get unprepared when he encountered this. At this time, he saw that the old man mentioned this matter and was too ignorant, so he had to say vaguely.
"I hope to hear the details."
The old man sighed and said, "First of all, it is a long-term problem. In the past, autumn hunting, at a scale of my Mujiazhai, only needed to provide two or three people with strength that are not weaker than two-star strength. Although the mortality rate of autumn hunting is extremely high and will have an impact on the tribe, it is not 100% death in battle after all, and there will be a hundred years to recuperate, which is not unsupported."
"However, this time is different. The envoy of the Rising Spirit has conveyed the order that the 6,000 tribes in Mujia Village need to provide at least one Dan-Jing Cultivator, or add up to the combat power that is not weaker than the Dan-Jing Cultivator. According to Lao I've found out, the demon mosquito riot is extremely fierce and the degree of danger is several times that before. According to the standards mentioned by the special envoy, our troops need to kill or capture one Blue Mosquito King alive before they can withdraw. This is almost unimaginable. Not to mention that in the place of Mengli, even in the home court of our troops in Yunli Mountains, we need to devote all our tribe's strength to achieve it."
The old man made a big splash and Shisanlang was confused when he heard this. He could only vaguely judge that Mujiazhai needed to concentrate all the high-level combat powers, including grandpa and uncle Mu, to barely meet the requirements of the special envoy. The most important thing is that this trip is likely to be a trip without returning; for Mujiazhai, it was indeed a disaster that was no less than a natural disaster.
Only then did he understand why Mu Yuanlang mistakenly thought he was so hostile when he met before. He wanted to ask the details, but he didn't even know what Qiu Hunting was, nor did he understand what the riot of the Demon Mosquito was. He was worried that he could show his feet and still could only say vaguely.
"Jinyou is that Wind-Splitting Beast?"
The old man nodded and said in a bitter voice: "I will tell you, when I heard that the fairy was coming, I had planned to ask for help from him to resolve the disaster of the genocide. Later, I heard that the fairy was also injured, so I changed my mind and found the little friend."
When Shisanlang heard the slightest pause, he immediately felt angry and said in a sarcastic voice: "Do you want Dingdang to deal with a wind-breaking beast near level 4?"
…
Shisanlang has never seen the strength of the Wind Beast and has no way to judge. However, judging from the battle situation the old man himself experienced, this beast is definitely not inferior to the elixir monk, and even has it. If this old man had such an idea, Shisanlang would never say anything, and would take Dingdang and turn around and leave, and would not want to stay here for a while.
In Shisanlang's heart, although he had partially recognized Dingdang's words, he did see the kind and simple side of the Mujia Village people; however, he came from the spiritual realm, and his vigilance had never been completely eliminated. How could he think of a heroic and righteous person to relieve others' dangers? Moreover, with Dingdang's strength, it would be difficult to win even if he used secret techniques, let alone the current situation. At this time, he felt very disgusted with the old man, and his words unconsciously showed a chill, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Since childhood, he struggled to survive in a pool of blood and wandered around the mouths of various beasts. Shisanlang has a blood evil spirit that ordinary people cannot imagine. It is just because of the peaceful life in Luoling City for several years that this evil spirit has gradually been suppressed by him and has not been revealed for a long time. Now that he has undergone major changes, his mind and nature has undergone some changes invisibly. The stubborn and vicious side of the past has gradually been revealed, and once it is released, its momentum becomes more and more amazing.
"Brother Eight Finger, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Ziyi woke up at some point, felt Shisanlang's change keenly, and asked in panic.
"It's okay, don't be afraid Ziyi."
Shisanlang's body shook slightly, and he realized that he was tired of the heavy pressure over the past few days and was also worried about Dingdang's injuries. His mood was already a little unstable and he gradually showed signs of anxiety and out of control.
He patted his back with his left hand, and Shisanlang comforted Xiao Ziyi, but his eyes looked at the old man without changing, and a sharpness that made him feel heartbroken.
Zi Yi was comforted by him with a gentle breath, and his emotions gradually stabilized, but he refused to sleep anymore. His pure eyes were puzzled and he was wandering between Shisanlang and his closest grandfather.
Facing Shisanlang's aggressive gaze, grandpa's heart was shocked, but his expression did not change much. His loving eyes looked at Xiao Ziyi. Grandpa turned his head and said gently: "My friend misunderstood. How dare I work for the fairy to drive the fairy. My original intention is to exchange the secret method of the spirit burning clan to receive our tribe, and not be treated as cannon fodder by the spirit burning clan in Huoyun Mountain."
Shisanlang was slightly stunned. Before he could say anything, grandpa said again: "As for the Wind-Splitting Beast, I asked myself, there is still a way to concentrate our forces. Besides..."
Speaking of this, a cunning light shone in the old man's eyes and said, "This time the tribes around him have concentrated on encircling the Blade Wind Beast. Although they have not done their best, they will still hurt them. Whether they can survive is still a matter of whether they can survive. In addition, the tribes around him have caused much damage to our tribes this time. They are also indispensable for autumn hunting. In a short period of time, these tribes will not be able to pose a threat to Mujiazhai."
After hearing the old man's words and seeing the smugness in his eyes, Shisanlang was silenced while he was clear. He could imagine how many scheming and plots were included in the previous roundup operation, and how various tribes had secretly produced their tricks, and finally came to the current situation.
With the strength of more than ten tribes around, even if the Wind Beast is stronger, as long as the battlefield can be limited and everyone works together, there is no reason not to kill it. Now, what should I say about them?
However, then again, from the perspective of grandpa, this move was helpless in order to ensure the integrity of Mujiazhai. If the Wind Beast was removed and he and Mutu died on the spot, the ending of Mujiazhai would inevitably be bleak. Under the so-called autumn hunting crisis, other tribes would not be allowed to develop malicious intentions, and it is unknown whether the strong players who forcibly arrested Mujiazhai would make up for their numbers.
Thinking of this, Shisanlang slowed down and said, "Even as you said, it has little to do with Dingdang. I don't believe you can't see that Dingdang's own identity is unexposed. How can he protect Mujiazhai and save you from the autumn hunting battle?"
This was half true and half false, so Grandpa naturally had no way to know Shisanlang's identity and smiled with a determined expression.
He said: "My friend misunderstood again. I dare not expect to avoid Qiu Hunting. In fact, even if the fairy is noble, I don't think she can help my subordinates escape this."
When he said this, the old man's eyes were hesitant. Shisanlang smiled at him and said, "Don't test me, I don't know whether Dingdang's true identity is."
These true or not are said from Shisanlang. The old man was stunned for a moment and could only smile bitterly.
"Xiaoyouguo is very human, I am impressed."
