The short sword is less than a foot long, with a thick back and a thin blade. It is very heavy, simple and vigorous, and does not have many decorations. There is only a heraldry-like mark carved on the handle, which looks a bit familiar. Wei Shiqi's heart moved, and he immediately remembered that in the ghost cave, he killed a ghost general who used a spear and dropped a brocade bag with such a mark on it.
The kit was right in his sleeve, containing the Dragon Slaying True Yin Knife.
With no time to think for a moment, Wei Shiqi stepped forward with the knife, stretched his muscles and bones, and stabbed the knife into the hippo's skin until it was gone. Make an incision.
The demon slave shouted, and four or five iron hooks probed and hooked, and they all tried their best to pull open the knife edge. Wei Shiqi slashed again, and the short blade was blocked by the bones. He groaned, and his right arm swelled. , the veins burst out, and with one sharp blow, the thick ribs were cut off, reaching deep into his organs, and blood spurted out, covering his head and face.
The lanky scholar's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Quick, dig out the heart!"
The demon slaves swarmed forward, hooked them one by one, and tried their best to separate the knife edges. Wei Shiqi was covered in blood. He bit the short knife between his teeth, inserted his hands into the body of the sea hippopotamus and groped for a while. The deeper he touched, the deeper he touched, and half of his body was explored. Entering it, it took a lot of effort to find the heart.
Unexpectedly, such a huge body is as big as a hippopotamus, but its heart is no bigger than a head, tough as cowhide, and slippery. Wei Shiqi took off the short knife, cut it in all directions, bit it back between his teeth, held his heart with both hands, exerted strength on his waist and abdomen, and twisted around to get out.
The lanky scholar was so excited that he opened his arms and shouted: "Slow down! Slow down! Be careful! Little - heart!"
Wei Shiqi shook his hair, blood beads flying everywhere, and he pushed the heart of the sea hippopotamus forward. The lanky scholar was startled, jumped back, waved his hands and said, "Don't come here!"
A short demon slave next to him took half a step forward, opened his brocade bag, and put his heart into it, as if he was holding some fragile treasure, his legs and feet were a little shaky. Wei Shiqi's eyes were sharp, and the corner of the bag was also embroidered with a heraldry-like mark, which was the same as the one he had on hand.
The slender scholar waved his hand and said boldly: "I'll give the rest to you!" The demon slave cheered and rushed forward to carve up the remains of the sea hippopotamus. However, Wei Shiqi didn't disembowel the body and couldn't tear open the solid flesh. You can only use iron hooks to pull out the soft internal organs and rummage through the pool of blood.
Wei Shiqi handed back the dagger. The lanky scholar admired him quite a lot. He chatted with him for a few words and asked about the origin of his name. Wei Shiqi called himself "Han Mu". He was born as a slave hunter in Huangbei City. He was used to walking alone in the snowy field. Earn hard work to eat.
The Siren's attack on Huangbei City took a long time, and having such a powerful helper at his disposal would save a lot of time. The lanky scholar put away his dagger and offered to recruit him, promising huge profits. Wei Shiqi hesitated for a moment and agreed.
After saying a few words, the abyss was turbulent, the tide was surging, and the sound was like thunder. The siren had rested enough, and became commotion again. A line of white waves rolled in and rushed towards the deserted north city. The slender scholar said hello, and the demon slave immediately abandoned the body of the sea hippopotamus and followed him back to Huangbei City in a hurry.
Wei Shiqi chatted with them along the way and learned that the lanky scholar had a good background. He was Liao Xi, the deacon of the Kamikaze Camel clan. The short winter melon following him was named Liao Qi, and he was Liao Xi's long-term follower. Kamikaze Camel is one of the wealthy families in Huangbei City. From top to bottom, there are patriarchs, elders, fathers, housekeepers, deacons, guards, maids, and coolies. However, these names were all made up by Wei Shiqi based on a few words. , in the "slang" spoken by the demon slaves, proper nouns are just a string of meaningless syllables to him, just like they cannot detect the inner connection between "Han Mu" and "Han Shiba".
The demon slave overthrew the oppression of the sky demon and became a master. However, the difference between the upper and lower levels still existed. This was especially obvious among the wealthy families. In fact, the wealthy clans among the demon slaves were potential contenders for the demon guards. This is known to everyone. No one had any objections. Back then, they tried to overthrow the Human-faced Dove clan, and among the powerful clans that replaced them, there was the Kamikaze Camel.
Liao Xi is a descendant of the Kamikaze Camel branch and has a low status. He holds the position of deacon and enjoys the worship of the clan. There is no expectation that he will achieve anything famous. This time the sea monster attacked Huangbei City. He originally had no intention of leaving the city to "scavenge", but he was tempted to go out after hearing that several thick-headed sea hippos were killed on the city's edge. The sea hippopotamus is born with infinite strength. When it is about to die, all the blood and essence from its body pour into its heart. It is a very good product. It is very popular with several elders in the clan. Liao Xi shamelessly competes with a group of slave hunters for business, just to please the elders. Happy, in exchange for some benefits.
After walking for less than half an hour, Huangbei City was right in front of us.
From a distance, it looks like a majestic city, surrounding the snowy peaks, like a sleeping snake. When you get closer, you realize that the city wall is actually made of ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, and countless bones of different sizes and strange shapes are buried inside. Wei Qiqi glanced at it a few times, feeling awe-struck. He could faintly notice the strands of talismans entwining it, if they were there or not. He lowered his eyes and followed Liao Qi, not daring to be more afraid of being noticed.
The guards who guard the city have always been sent by wealthy families. This time it happened to be the turn of the Kamikaze Camel clan. They all knew Liao Xi and his purpose of leaving the city. They all stepped aside to get out of the way. They did not check at all but stared at Liao Qi's hands. bag of tips, with a look of envy on his face. Although the side bloodline is far away, after all, there is a clan leader who has firmly occupied the position of deacon even if he has no future, and they cannot envy him.
Wei Shiqi just sneaked into Huangbei City like this.
Huangbei City is divided into upper and lower city areas. The lower city area is similar to a slum. There is no planning. The pits are filled with ice and snow. There is a cave in the east and a cave in the west. The snow peaks are cut like a hornet's nest. Those who are capable live in caves and those who are not are sleeping in the open. In the open space, whoever has the toughest fist is the boss, there is nothing to say. The upper area is divided up by three wealthy families, and the city lord also occupies a large area. The remaining corners also have their own owners. Those who are qualified to have a place in the upper area of Huangbei City are not simple characters.
Liao Xi knew his way around well. He dismissed a group of demon slaves and passed through the noisy and chaotic lower area before arriving at a well-organized cave. He, Wei Shiqi, twitched the corner of his mouth and ordered him to wait outside. He entered the cave by himself. Liao Qipeng Holding the brocade bag, he spread his short legs and followed closely. After a while, Liao Qi came out alone and asked Wei Qi to wash himself in the nearby spring water to get rid of the blood on his body. He then led him to a crooked stone house and gave him a few words of advice. Rest here for now, don't rush in.
The stone house was built very roughly at the junction of the upper and lower city areas, with a thick layer of wet mud smeared across the gaps. It was blown to pieces by the early wind and was frozen solid. It was neither wind nor rain-proof. The house was filled with firewood and raw meat. There was an earthen stove in the corner, with some pots and pans scattered around. Wei Shiqi was not polite. He took the iron pot outside, scrubbed it, picked up clean ice and snow and filled most of the pot. He sat on the stove and lit a fire to boil. He chopped up the raw meat and threw it into the pot to cook.
After a while, the aroma of meat overflowed.
