"It's really a nest of snakes and rats," Long Miao made an unceremonious comment, "It's Chinese New Year, why don't you two give yourself a holiday? Just chasing after each other like this is really conscientious. Especially..."
Especially that woman—Long Miao knew, the woman named Tao Zhu. Now, she should be called a banshee. The last time Uoyuki-kun was seriously injured, he was severely beaten by this monster. Long Miao's eyes scanned the surroundings. There was no other movement for the time being, and there was no smell of more people. But it was not to be taken lightly, for her brother's body was always with her, and it was unlikely that she would leave him alone somewhere else.
"Who are you looking at?" Tao Zhu smiled, his eyes as charming as silk. "When you meet such a beauty, can't you keep your eyes firmly fixed on one person? Or is it that the lesson you learned last time was not harsh enough?"
"You were the one who ran away with your head in your arms, right? Why, isn't the experience of being beaten to a pulp once not enough?"
Long Miao's tone towards her was never friendly. However, Tao Zhu didn't look very angry. She just put her hands on her hips and said like a proud child:
"How long have you been so stubborn? I am not here to settle old scores with you this time - although I always feel that the village still has some value for extraction, which is a pity, but I am so tolerant and will not argue with you about this. Today, I just came to watch the fun. If you want to fight, fight with the guy with the knife. Don't catch a weak woman and bully her."
Long Miao really couldn't curse. His eyes moved to Yin Guihong, who was readjusting the posture of holding the knife. He raised his cold eyes and said a little dissatisfied:
"That bastard should really stop using us around."
"So what?" Tao Zhu said nonchalantly, "We won't suffer anyway."
"It's up to you. I don't think so." He sneered and said, "He and I should be equals."
"Okay, okay, is everything you said correct? Finish the task quickly and go back to the job. I'm a little sleepy."
"Then don't come and get in the way."
It was really leisurely and leisurely, during the Chinese New Year and at night, in the deserted place, you said something to me, and you didn't pay attention to the two of them at all. Long Miao felt that these two people were simply inexplicable, but he was somewhat concerned about their appearance at the same time.
"The person he was talking about..."
"It's Wuyongjie." Lord Maoyue said softly, "The three of them are now a team."
"This is happening - it's really troublesome. What do they want? Could it be..."
"It's not the Scarlet Pearl. In other words, it's not their main goal." Lord Uoyue, who owns the Scarlet Pearl, can know a lot, but not everything. "It's just that I can't see through what they want to do. They won't think more about the plan at the moment. They may not even know the whole plan and are just following Wuyonglan's orders. If you want to know more, you must Risk directly using the power of the Chizhen Pearl to invade their minds."
"That's too dangerous." Long Miao said immediately, "You are not suitable to expend your energy like this right now... Moreover, as you said, they may not know much about it and are just following orders."
"Try to avoid fighting with them. When dealing with him, you try to use as many tricks as possible. I'll see if I can learn more."
This seemed to be the only feasible way, and Long Miao could only nod. It was impossible to hope that Tao Zhu would be as she said, that she would just watch and never interfere. He had to cheer up and shoulder the responsibilities of a guard again. He is good at long-distance combat. It stands to reason that he only needs to keep a distance from Yin Guihong and he will be unscathed. But he would not only target himself, so Long Miao had to control the distance between him and Uoyue-kun. Next to him is another evil messenger who will suddenly join the fight at some point and claims that he is just watching the show.
This battle is extremely difficult.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't ask too much." Among the chaos of feather blades and blades, Yin Guihong showed an expression of ease and ease. "It doesn't hurt to tell you, but the order I was entrusted with was just to... cause you some trouble."
It's too vague, I don't know if it's enough for Utsuki-kun to interpret. He tried to approach it from other angles, but Yin Guihong kept silent. Long Miao knew that even if he didn't speak, as long as he was thinking, he would be captured by Maoyue Lord. He doesn't have much confidence in himself, but he does in Utsuki-kun.
And Lord Uoyue knew very well that the trouble was not limited to the two in front of him.
Closing her eyes in front of the enemy was not a wise choice, but rather than seeing with her eyes, she needed to "listen" with her heart. However, it didn't take long for her to notice that besides the four of them, there was a fifth unusual voice.
…Does that really come from human thought?
Is that a "thought"?
She opened her eyes suddenly and quickly turned her gaze to that unusual place. At the same time, a white "fence" suddenly appeared between her and the grass. It was Taki Moshi who rained arrows from the sky to isolate her from the potential "what".
Under the moonlight, Long Miao noticed that Lord Uoyue's expression was a little abnormal. She wasn't panicked, but she was worried about something. Did she know the enemy there, or did she understand the intentions of the other two, or... neither? His eyes quickly glanced at Tao Zhu not far away. She was just standing there as he said, indifferent to everything happening here.
But she clearly showed a different smile than before.
Uoyuki-kun's face became increasingly grim, even more haggard than before, with a faint cyan color. Of course Takimiao had no idea what she "heard" and she couldn't even explain it to anyone. The "voice" was very noisy and chaotic, and it hardly resembled thoughts themselves, at least not human thoughts. But what could it be?
A pale hand brushed aside the pale feathers, his movements were slow and unhurried, and he did not show any aggression. It was indeed a human hand...and the owner of that hand didn't seem aggressive at all. When he leaned out from the "fence" made of feathers, he appeared in front of several people...
He is clearly a normal and simple young man.
A shiver ran down Long Miao's spine.
Before that, he smelled a scent, but he wasn't sure. He knew that the source of his uneasiness should be the same as Uzuki-kun, but the specific reasons were different, because Uzuki-kun, who is still considered a human, should not be able to smell the smell that only monsters can smell. Besides, that smell...
He is clearly the same as Mr. Maoyue.
Yes, that's exactly what happened... That's why he didn't immediately judge that there was someone hiding in that location. Moreover, that person completely covered up his aura and looked like a dead thing - like weeds or stubborn rocks. But when such a "stone" suddenly moved and had a human face, it all seemed too weird.
And that face is not straight, isn't it Tao Zhu's brother Tao Ji? !
"What did you do?!"
The overwhelming feathers were like countless sharp daggers, tearing the air into strands. Tao Zhu laughed playfully, dodging left and right like a dance, getting all the feathers out of the way, while Yin Guihong directly used the Jing Mie Ya to flick away the attacking feathers. However, seeing how deeply the feathers were sunk into the soil, and how Yin Guihong felt the force of the feathers hitting the blade, Long Miao could be said to be furious.
The two of them had a temporary truce, and it took a lot of effort on both of them. Now, the four people's eyes all fell on the fifth person who appeared in the field, if that could still be called a person. If he had to say, how different he is from Kisaragi-kun now, Takimiao really couldn't tell for a while - but they are clearly different, essentially.
"It's all very clear... they don't need to say anything more."
Uoyuki-kun's voice was so soft that it was difficult to detect, but it was not deliberately lowered. Her strength was slipping away...she was growing weaker. Long Miao had a vague idea in his mind, but he was not sure yet. When Uoyue-kun looked at him with a look that was clearly still smiling but looked extremely sad, a stinging pain emerged from his heart.
"Didn't I tell you that I won't take action?" Tao Zhu jumped forward a few steps, approached the direction of Tao Ji and said, "It's just that if my beloved brother does something, it's none of my business! "
Tao Ji raised the corners of his mouth and smiled like any polite and simple young man, exactly like a living person. Perhaps this is the saying that a person should not be judged by his appearance. Looking at this vivid face, no one can associate him with the thief. But if I have to say it, it was a long time ago.
"Resentful Eclipse—that knife was enchanted with a new spell by Wuyonglan." Every word of Lord Uoyue stimulated Long Miao's grief. Her voice was very soft: "It's probably at the knife point... There is a magic circle that he modified, which is related to the one in the underground palace of the Southern Kingdom. Compared with the 'absorption' of power, this magic circle increases The effect is 'migration'."
So not only could they track Lord Uoyue's location through the power of Resentment, but the magic circle carved by the lie also transferred Lord Uoyue's power to the corpse! The vitality of the Six Paths of Impermanence is inexhaustible, and it seems to be more than enough to drive a dead person to move freely.
"Ah, it's true...because you messed up my beautiful face, I originally planned to seek revenge on you. Oh, it's you -" Tao Ji put his hand on his hips and pointed at Long Miao with the other, "It's a pity that the child is just It's just hacking. This magic circle may not be perfect enough. At first, we just wanted to find you, a half-demon, to test the waters. A complete monster won't work, and the monster energy will stain my beloved brother... But neither will a fragile human. They’re not stable enough and won’t last long before they break.”
As she spoke, her tone was full of affection for Tao Ji. To Longmiao, these words sounded disgusting and harsh.
"Forget it, the result is the same." Yin Guihong's tone became more fierce, "Anyway, the ultimate target is these troublesome Wuchangs."
Long Miao was almost furious, as if he had never been so angry before. Perhaps the resilience of the Six Paths of Impermanence is too slow, so the absorption of power will put great pressure on Lord Uoyue. How could this be? What is the principle? He didn't understand this, and he wasn't in the mood to figure it out for the time being. All he knew was that the trouble was much bigger now. He didn't think that a human corpse could exert considerable combat effectiveness, but no matter how powerful this "work" was, every move he made would cause heavy harm to Lord Uoyuki. How to do? What is their motivation? It's crucial to figure this out.
"I once told you that the six realms of impermanence can welcome death." Lord Uoyue saw through his thoughts and suddenly said terrible words, "As long as 'they themselves long for the end'."
"She wants to control that dead man...?!"
"Ah, that's not the case! Lord Maoyue saved my life. Without her compassion, my brother and I wouldn't have been able to get where we are today." Tao Ji said hypocritically, "This time it's just for me. It’s just a test of the waters. After all, we have more important goals. We don’t dare to make any mistakes before that - right?"
The last rhetorical question didn't seem to be addressed to them.
