Chapter 81 Trading
A fierce roar came from behind. I knew that it must be those native dogs who were catching up with them. These dogs should have a very sensitive sense of smell, so it is not very difficult to track me down. Since that's the case, let's do it.
I gently placed the old man on the ground, then pulled out the Lieyang Sword and stood in the center of the tunnel, looking calmly at the direction I walked along the way, feeling the calmness and tranquility that I had never felt before. At this time, I could clearly feel the huge power and violent aura in the Lieyang Sword.
Suddenly I had a very strange feeling, as if there was a slight connection between my mind and the knife, and I felt that I could control the power in the knife, and then I couldn't help but do it, but it turned out to be successful. The Fiery Sun Sword actually lit up, and it was like a bright light in the dark tunnel.
But what I can do now is this. If the power in the Lieyang Sword is compared to a sea, all I can control now is only a few drops of water in the sea. However, this has already made me very excited. Although this little bit of power is really insignificant for the Lieyang Sword, it is a qualitative leap for me. When I meet a local dog again, I have a few more chances of winning. Even if I can't kill them all, I can at least kill a few more.
The distance between the local dogs is getting closer and closer. Although I still don’t see their shadows, the roaring sounds are clearer. I guess it will be a long time to catch up with them. I am not nervous at all, and I just stood here quietly waiting for their arrival.
In a blink of an eye, something appeared in the tunnel. A white shadow appeared in the distance, which looked very conspicuous in the dark tunnel. It was not clear due to the dark environment and distance. However, I can be sure that this thing is definitely not a native dog, not only because it is white but also has a very human shape, but more importantly because its way of travel is very special, like a piece of paper in the wind, floating towards me.
I held the Fierce Sun Knife and stared at this thing. I felt that it was not like the monster I had seen before, but it looked like a ghost. However, it didn't matter what I came. As long as I dared to come, I would dare to kill it.
Although the way this thing travels is very strange, its speed is not slow at all. It quickly floated in front of me, and its appearance naturally became clearer. With a white hat, white clothes and a big white face, I couldn't help but scream, "Bai Wuchang! Why are you here? Are you all in the same group with those monsters?" "They are worthy of being with me." Bai Wuchang said contemptuously, "Then what are you doing here?" I stared at him vigilantly and asked.
But before Bai Wuchang could answer, the clear roar of the local dogs came from the tunnel not far away. It was obvious that they had discovered my position and were running towards it. They would probably be able to chase me soon.
Bai Wuchang turned his head and looked behind him and quickly said to me, "Leave here first, let's talk about it." Then, my eyes became blurred and my feet became soft, as if I was stepping on cotton.
This feeling made me a little nervous, and it lasted for a few seconds. Then my feet stepped onto the ground again, and my eyes gradually became clear. The tunnel just now disappeared. I saw a rolling mountain and a bright moon hanging high in the air. The place where I was was actually a gentle mountain top, and Bai Wuchang looked at me a few meters away.
I was shocked and immediately turned around to search. I immediately saw the old man's body leaning against a large stone not far away. My heart was relieved and I asked casually, "What is this?" "I don't know if I said it." Bai Wuchang also replied casually.
I stared at him viciously for more than ten seconds, and then suddenly asked, "Did you come long ago?" "Hmm." Bai Wuchang answered very simply, "When did you come?" I asked even more fiercely, "When did you arrive at the Hell Forest", "So you saw the scene of our encounter with the Dog King?" "Well," "Then why didn't you take action to save people at that time? If you took action earlier, the old man wouldn't die!" I was extremely angry and almost roared.
But Bai Wuchang still looked very calm, "I can't interfere in the fight between you." "This is the reason why you don't save people?! Do you know that human life is at stake? Do you even understand the principle of saving lives and helping the wounded?! You are so inhumane!" I continued to roar in anger, but Bai Wuchang actually laughed out loudly, "Tell me about human nature, tell me about saving lives and helping the wounded, are you confused? Have you forgotten what I do?!"
This sentence finally calmed me down. I admitted that I was a little confused just now. Telling Bai Wuchang that healed the wounded was like talking to a butcher about eating vegetarian food. However, his approach still made me very angry, so I asked coldly, "Then why do you want to save me now?" "Because I need you to do something." "No!" I answered firmly.
Bai Wuchang didn't respond at all to my rejection, and he still looked calm. "I won't force you to go or not, but I want to remind you that this is near the Hell Forest." "So what? Do you want to send us back to the place you just now? Let you!" "That's not the case. I mean you should want to send the old man's body back to the island where you live. You should know how long it takes to walk along the way. In such a hot weather and such a long journey, I don't need to describe the old man's body to you carefully?" "You don't have to worry about this, I have a way." "Okay, I wish you a good journey." Bai Wuchang turned around and left after saying this.
"Stop!" I yelled, "What else do you have?" Bai Wuchang stopped and turned to look at me, "You come and go, you go, you really think of me as transparent?" I pointed at Bai Wuchang with a knife and said coldly, "What do you want?" "Now you have two choices, either send us back to the island or kill you." "Is this what you said?" Bai Wuchang actually laughed.
This sentence really made me feel a little ashamed. Although Bai Wuchang did not save the old man, he saved me. Now I am really a scoundrel, but I have no other way. Bai Wuchang said it very well. In such hot weather and such a long distance, I really couldn't transport the old man's body back intact. I didn't want to bury the old man alone in this unknown wilderness, so I had to continue to point the knife at Bai Wuchang with a thick face.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Bai Wuchang no longer paid attention to me but turned his eyes to the knife in my hand. After looking carefully for a few seconds, he slowly said, "The Lieyang Knife is indeed well-deserved. If it is held in Gu Zhentian's hand, I really have to weigh it carefully, but if it is held in your hand-----" "So what if it is held in my hand, I can still kill you." "Are you sure?" Bai Wuchang looked at me with a smile, and did not make any other moves, and even didn't move his fingers. However, the hand holding the knife felt a huge force. The Lieyang Knife instantly flew out of his hand and flew into the air, and then suspended motionlessly more than ten meters high.
For a moment, I wanted to pull out the short stick and rush up, but I was worried that the short stick would fly out as well, and the result was almost certain, so I immediately gave up the idea.
I knew there was a gap between me and Bai Wuchang, but I didn't expect that the gap was so big that I didn't even have the chance to cut a knife. This reality made me very frustrated and also made me completely awake.
I have always thought that I was a very mature person. From childhood to adulthood, I have been taking care of Qian Chuanzi. I have been protecting the old man along the way. But now I realize how wrong this idea is. In fact, they are the pillars in my heart, and they are supporting my maturity. Now Qian Chuanzi has left, the old man has left, and even Uncle Gu, who is extremely powerful in my heart, has left. I am the only one left in this world. From then on, everything can only be relied on myself. If you want to live, you can no longer be willful.
In an instant, I felt that I had really grown up. It seems that maturity really has nothing to do with age. Only after experiencing some things can I truly understand the principles of the world.
I thought about the old man's previous behavior. If it were him, how would he deal with the predicament in front of me? I quickly got the answer. Then my face immediately calmed down. I stopped looking at the Fiery Sun Knife left in the air. Instead, I leisurely found a stone to sit down, then pointed to another stone next to me, and said to Bai Wuchang with a smile, "Don't stand, sit down and chat for a while."
Bai Wuchang didn't expect that I would react like this. He looked at me with a little surprise, then sat down on the stone I pointed to. At the same time, the Fierce Sun Knife began to fall slowly and returned to my hand steadily.
I put the knife in the sheath as if nothing had happened, and at the same time asked casually, "What's the matter for me?" "A crack appeared in our underworld, and you need to go to a place to get a piece of Yang Po back." "Why don't you go?" "The yang energy in that place is too heavy, and people in our underworld can't get in." "What is Yang Po?" "It is a crystal that is so strong that all the ghosts dare not get close to it after they are placed in the crack, so that they can prevent ghosts from escaping into the living through the crack."
"There are cracks in your underworld. Is it a tofu project built by a black-hearted developer?" I looked at Bai Wuchang jokingly, and had no scruples when speaking, because I doubted that this old ghost had already fully known my background, and even knew a lot of things that I didn't even know.
