Chapter 184 Negotiating Conditions
Then there will be double the enemies, double the pain.
Ke Jihai shouted angrily, "How dare you?", and the spear flew out of his hand, piercing the man who was rushing in front of him.
But at this moment, there was a flapping sound in the sky, as if a big bird was approaching. Ke Jihai suddenly felt a warning and rolled to the side without thinking.
Then, a big fireball fell from the sky and hit where he was standing.
The black stone strips were all broken, and the plants under the snow were instantly charred.
Ke Jihai looked up and saw a big bird in the sky. It had a strange appearance, with a crow's head, bat's wings, and a snake-like neck, but no tail.
There was also a passenger on the bird's back, wearing a bronze mask with only two eye holes exposed.
Ke Jihai was so angry that he clenched his fist. If he had a longbow in his hand, would it be his turn for this thing to scream over his head?
Yes, its cry was like a crow.
"Father!" He Yue was shocked, rushed to He Chunhua to block him, and raised his hand to shoot an ice arrow.
The ice arrow flew in the air and broke into three, shot out in a shape of a Chinese character, and hit one person.
But the remaining enemies also rushed to the front, and there was only one at present:
He Chunhua.
He Lingchuan was unable to come back to help, and was about to grab the broken knife and throw it out, when several shadows shot out from the forest like arrows, knocking down three enemies.
Everyone looked closely and was shocked again:
These were several gray-skinned giant wolves.
Their bodies were as big as calves, and their limbs were much stronger than those of ordinary gray wolves. After they pounced on the enemy, they bit fiercely and the person died.
The leading gray wolf bit the enemy's head and shook it twice, and it was actually directly pulled out at the neck, and blood was all over the ground.
Eight people attacked, and five were killed at once. The remaining three were stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned around and fled.
These giant wolves did not chase.
In just a few breaths, He Lingchuan finally rushed to his family, pointed his blade at the wolves: "Stop, if you go any further, I will kill you without mercy!"
Although the wolves temporarily rescued them, the wolf demon was also trapped in the silk net.
Are they in the same group?
Six or seven giant wolves walked out of the dense forest, and they really surrounded the net and the werewolf.
He Lingchuan's palms were slightly sweaty, and He Chunhua's eyes were also flashing.
"We have no ill intentions." The leading giant wolf suddenly spoke in human language, "Our target is the madman in the sky!"
He Lingchuan also saw the giant bird hovering in the sky and the passengers on the bird's back.
At first glance, he determined that this guy was related to the giant ape and the werewolf, because the big bird was also equally weird and strange, as if it was pieced together.
At this time, the big bird was spitting fireballs down, hitting the walnut boat one after another. Ke Jihai lacked long-range weapons, so he picked up a few branches and threw them out, but they were all dodged.
"My boat!" He Lingchuan felt so distressed that he could hardly breathe when he saw the walnut boat.
This beautiful wooden boat was hit by several black pits by the fireballs spit out by the strange bird, and the flames licked the wood and began to jump around.
It was positioned as a means of transportation from the beginning. Although it was also treated with some fire-proof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion treatments, it was definitely not as durable as a combat weapon.
The strange bird was of unknown species, and the fireballs it spit out were so red that they could even burn the snow-covered stone ground.
The boatman on top used a pole to put out the fire, and he could put out a cluster at a time, but unfortunately the fire grew faster than he could put it out, and soon it burned under the side.
This boat just ate one of his black crystals! He Lingchuan was furious, completely forgetting that this boat was actually He Chunhua's. He took out the bow and arrow from the storage ring, ran forward a few steps, and threw it high to Ke Jihai.
His archery skills were not good, and his left shoulder was injured and he couldn't draw the bow, but his right arm was still strong enough, and the bow and arrow flew seven or eight feet in the air.
The big bird swooped down from the air, trying to intercept the bow midway.
Haha, come on. He Lingchuan sneered, grabbed the broken knife and threw it out.
This time, the throw was also quite accurate. The strange bird was more flexible than an eagle, and it turned over to dodge.
The broken knife missed and fell into the darkness.
"Huh?" So it's not a hundred shots?
But during this delay, Ke Jihai had already received the bow in his hand, and his spirits were lifted. He picked up an arrow at random, and he didn't need to aim. He raised his hand and drew the bow, and a cold light flew away from the string, fast and accurate.
The passenger on the strange bird waved the bell outward, and the ding ding ding was so crisp, and a gust of wind blew in the air.
His first reaction was not slow, but unfortunately, this arrow was also attached with Yuanli, which was specially used to break magical powers.
No matter how strong the wind blew, the arrow was only deviated a little bit. Ke Jihai originally aimed at the belly of the strange bird, but in the end, it pierced the root of the wing.
The strange bird wailed and flapped its wings, trying to glide to the opposite hilltop.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and more than ten riders rushed down the mountain road. It was Ke Jihai's followers who arrived.
Ke Jihai was overjoyed: "Don't let it run away!" Then he bent his bow again.
Just at this moment, the walnut boat could no longer withstand the burning of the true fire, and it shrank back to its original small ball with a "snap".
The overwhelming force of Mount Tai disappeared, and the giant ape was suddenly freed and jumped high like a rocket!
It jumped four or five feet high, passing over the heads of everyone, catching the man and the bird in mid-air, and fell into the valley like a weight.
Ke Jihai's arrow was also shot out, hitting the giant ape's back hill, causing it to roar in pain, but it did not let go.
Everyone rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down. The bottom of the valley was pitch black, but several pine trees had been knocked down, and the tops of the remaining trees were shaking constantly.
It seemed that the giant ape was not dead and was still running all the way out.
Ke Jihai pointed to two of his men and said, "Go and see what happens."
The two men took the order and rode down the mountain.
In that compartment, the wolves faced off with He Chunhua and others. When the latter saw Ke Jihai's men arriving, his own strength increased, and he suddenly felt at ease. The roar just now also alerted the guards of Luming Garden, and the sound of horse hooves came from the mountain road above, not far away.
The wounds on his body became more and more painful, and He Lingchuan's smiling face turned into a grin.
When he touched his waist, the knife was already back.
The injured groom had passed out from the pain, and the civilian boy also got up. Madam Ying thanked her repeatedly, and the boy waved his hand: "No, it doesn't matter. Madam, it'll be fine if nothing happens."
He Yue looked at his back and said, "The blood is black and the arrows are poisonous."
There was a military doctor under Ke Jihai, who stood out from the crowd and handed over a pill: "Take the detoxification pill first."
His detoxification pill was effective against all toxins, but after the boy took it, Yintang became darker, his hands and feet began to twitch, and he groaned.
If this continues, you will soon fall into coma.
Mrs. Ying was shocked and said, "What should I do?" If the young man hadn't sacrificed his life to save her, she would be the one suffering from the poison now.
Ke Jihai pondered for a moment and then said: "Take my token and send it quickly to the Jinghe Hall down the mountain. The famous doctors of the old Fu family are sitting there. I remember one of them is good at detoxification!"
The men agreed and took the young man and the unconscious coachman down the mountain.
At this time, more than ten guards from Luming Garden also arrived. They were shocked to see the wolves, and they unsheathed their weapons with several clanging sounds.
There are monsters running rampant in the Royal Villa. If word spreads, they are slacking off in their work and derelict in their duties.
Surrounded by menacing humans, the wolves were also a little uneasy, with several of them showing their sharp teeth.
"Everyone, please hold off on taking action." Ke Jihai spoke up at the right moment, "The culprit who attacked Mr. He and me has left." With that, he walked over to negotiate with the guard leader.
The leader of the group, Gray Wolf, emphasized again: "We have no ill intentions. We came here after Dong Rui. We just want to save the young master."
"Young Master?" He Chunhua's eyes fell on the werewolf on the ground. After the masked weirdo left, it was no longer crazy and just growled.
"This is our young master Lu Ze. He was seriously injured before being taken over by Dong Rui and transformed into this appearance." The gray wolf's voice was a little sad, "My name is Lu Xin, and we are from the North Star Tundra. Rock Wolf clan, please return the young master to us!”
They didn't snatch it immediately because they were worried about Dong Rui's presence. The werewolves would still obey his orders even if they escaped from the dragnet. He Chunhua understood this very well, so he said: "This monster is already my trophy. It almost killed me before."
He Lingchuan took off his shirt and let the military doctor treat the wound. He said to the wolves, "Would you be happy if we snatched your trophies instead?"
"We can provide compensation." Gray Wolf Lu Xin said, "There are several special medicinal materials on the North Star Tundra. Using the secret recipe of our clan, we can knead the elixir for lightness and fitness. Not only do you warriors need it, but also horses use it. You can have more endurance.”
Even Ke Jihai was a little moved after hearing this condition.
Horses can run faster and further, and even if only the scout team uses them, the team's mobility will be more intuitively improved.
He Chunhua shook his head: "How can a mere herbal medicine be compared with the status of your young master?"
He asked the wolf demon again: "Is your whole clan here?"
"Most of our people still stay in the North Star Tundra, guarding the territory."
He Chunhua pointed at the werewolf on the ground: "If I return him to you, can you restore his sanity?"
Lu Xin immediately said: "Maybe you can give it a try without bothering you."
He Chunhua looked at Ke Jihai and wanted to ask for his opinion. The latter immediately said: "Master He can handle the prisoners on his own."
"I want to go north to Xiazhou to recruit troops. It is a time when manpower is in short supply." He Chunhua has already thought about it. "Please ask the Yanlang clan to send a small team to join my command. At least fifteen healthy adult wolf monsters. Isn't that excessive?"
These wolf demons showed great fighting prowess when they first appeared on the scene, and the advantages of wolves in endurance, discipline and obedience are world-famous. He Chunhua also knew that many armies at home and abroad had demon soldiers participating in the war, and they could effectively make up for the lack of human soldiers.
Lu Xin was startled. He didn't expect that he would make such a shameless request, which was beyond his expectations.
A group of wolves gathered together and whispered. Others could not understand their way of communication at all. They could only see their tails wagging violently. It seemed that the argument was very fierce.
After a while, Lu Xin turned around and said to He Chunhua: "There are many threats on the North Star Tundra. Our strong men have to guard the territory at ordinary times and cannot stay away from the tribe for a long time."
He Chunhua frowned.
Fortunately, Lu Xin then came up with a compromise plan: "Let's do this. Lu Jin and I will sign an alliance with you now to fight together."
