"Sir! How could these giant wolves listen to you so much?"
The shocked old woman looked at the man in front of her with disbelief on her face.
"Since I first landed on land, I have been raising these giant beasts that survived the ancient times on the uninhabited Shuobei tundra. But I have never told a few elders about it. Don't be surprised by Granny Cen."
Kun Jie still spoke slowly and calmly, but the smile on his face made people's hearts tremble. It was as if the vicious beast eating people just a moment ago was just a good show to him.
"So, sir, you personally led the wolves to this moon swamp?"
"That's natural. I have been raising Chilang for several years, hoping that one day they will be put to use."
"I dare to ask, sir, what use can these man-eating monsters be used for?"
"Why, does Granny Cen think this action of mine is inappropriate?"
"Is it possible that allowing these ferocious beasts that eat people but not spit out bones to kill many of my subordinates is not worth asking in your eyes?!"
This was the first time that Ning Yue saw her old woman so angry. But it was no wonder, after all, the few people who were bitten to death by the wolves were all the confidants of Granny Cen who had been following her all the way since she came ashore.
However, faced with the doubts from his subordinates, Kun Jie did not show too many concerns:
"Chilangs are beasts after all. Those who hold fire have just turned their backs to them and run wildly, and they have already announced that they are defenseless prey. Fortunately, you two have just made up your mind to confront them head-on, otherwise even I may not be able to resist them." It can be saved."
These words were said in an understatement, making Grandma Cen's face become even more ugly:
"I believe that such a ferocious beast should not have been raised in the first place, let alone allowed to run around!"
"I am coming from Shuobei. Along the way, I can only choose some steep mountainous places to avoid people's eyes and ears, so I cannot transport it in a carriage. Is Grandma Cen blaming me?"
"Subordinate - I dare not..."
Facing Kun Jie's rhetorical question, the old woman finally backed down. But Ning Yue clearly saw something in her eyes flickering under the moonlight.
Kun Jie raised his voice and continued to ask: "I am very curious as to why you and the other fire fighters left the camp late at night and were trapped in this quagmire?"
Grandma Cen never expected that the other party would show up at this time and was stunned when she was asked. But Ning Yue knew that if her escape was exposed, there was no guarantee that her grandmother would not be affected, so she hesitated for a moment and answered first:
"Yes, I missed my mother in the middle of the night, so I wanted to pay homage to her. That's why my mother-in-law sent people to look for her to ensure her safety."
"At midnight, when the moon is in the sky, it's a good time to pay homage to the dead!"
Kun Jie didn't show too much doubt about this explanation. He just chuckled vaguely and turned to greet the wolves and walked towards the camp. Seeing that the old woman and the girl behind him did not move, he He stopped again and asked:
"You guys are just standing there, are you planning to continue worshiping the coral like this?"
Ning Yue and her old lady looked at each other, knowing in her heart that in front of the claws of the wolves, unless she had wings, all her attempts to escape would be in vain, so she had no choice but to lower her head and crawl out of the mire with difficulty, following the man. No words were spoken behind him.
But the good times didn't last long. Before they returned to the camp, they saw a bright fire in the forest ahead. The girl felt something was wrong in her heart, but before she could react, more than ten armed policemen rushed out of the camp. Huo Lala completely surrounded himself and his grandmother.
At the same time, Kun Jie also stopped again, with a sullen expression on his face: "Get Ning Yue and imprison her in a wooden prison!"
"Sir, why is this? Miss, she——"
"Grandma Cen, you may not be able to see it, but I can see it clearly. This girl is not just going to worship the coral tonight, but is planning to run away! Otherwise, how could she even take away her clothes!"
Granny Cen's expression changed. She knew that it was impossible to hide the truth anymore, so she opened her mouth to intercede for the girl. However, the man opposite did not allow her to say any more. Instead, he waved his long sleeves and led his men to escort Ning Yue down. , and a few galloping wolves were left squatting on the spot, showing their sharp fangs at the old woman and growling in fear.
After an unknown amount of time, the moon set, the stars set, the crows fell silent, and the camp became quiet again.
The wooden prison that Kun Jie mentioned was just an open space surrounded by temporarily cut down logs that were as thick as a human arm. The sharpened end of the log was buried deep in the ground, and the other exposed end was covered with caltrops. .Although there is a gap of three or four fingers wide, it is absolutely impossible to escape from it.
At the moment, Ning Yue is leaning in a corner of the wooden prison, covered in mud and about to cry without tears. She understands that she has completely lost her last chance to escape, and at this moment, the galloping wolves brought back by Kun Jie use thick iron chains. Tie her around the camp. Even if she can escape from this wooden prison, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of those wild beasts.
Finally, the exhausted girl closed her eyes. I don't know how long it took, but something suddenly hit her head while she was half asleep. The girl woke up immediately, reached out and groped for the flying object at her feet.
It turned out to be a yellow rice noodle steamed bun wrapped in a cloth handkerchief. Someone had obviously thrown it to her from outside the wooden prison. Ning Yue's sleepiness suddenly disappeared, and she quickly raised her eyes to look out from the gaps in the wooden prison. However, Except for a few vague bonfires, not a single person could be seen.
The suspicious girl sat down again, rubbing the yellow rice bun and not knowing what to do. Soon, there was a light sound in her stomach, and a strong sense of hunger came over her. She wondered whether Kun Jie should use this After planting a cunning method to poison himself to death in prison, he also let go of his courage, took the already cold steamed bun to his mouth and took a big bite.
The strange feeling coming from her lips and teeth made Ning Yue tremble suddenly, and she quickly spit out the steamed bun that had been melted by saliva back into her palm. With the dawn light rising slightly on the horizon, she was surprised to find that there was something hidden in it. A piece of paper that was only an inch wide. Although the handwriting on the paper could not be determined by whose hand it was, it clearly told the girl to be calm and wait until nightfall the next day, and someone would come to help.
Ning Yue rolled up the note with suspicion and hid it in the soil under her feet. After a moment, she reached out and dug it out again, holding it on her fingertips and looking over it - at the moment she was not sure whether it was Kun Jie's design again. It was a trap set by him, but the few words on the paper stirred up his heart several times.
In the end, the girl decided to take a gamble and wait patiently for night to fall again. "No matter what, the result cannot be worse than it is now." She thought in her heart, and suddenly felt that she saw a glimmer of hope again. dawn.
Finally, it was nightfall on the second day, but the lights in Kunjie's tent were still on until midnight. Ning Yue had been waiting eagerly in the wooden prison, but she increasingly felt that all this was just a trick played by the other party on her. As time went by, she began to become restless. However, just when she had almost given up hope, she suddenly discovered that the lights in the tent had finally gone out!
Only a moment later, several figures quietly appeared in the girl's sight. They deliberately avoided the bonfires lit everywhere in the camp and quickly ran towards the wooden prison. The leader was short, There was still a slender stick in her hand, and it turned out to be Grandma Cen who tried her best to stop her from leaving the night before!
"Miss, step back a little, and I will use my magic to break open the cage and rescue you!"
As the old woman spoke, the mysterious rose on the whale bone staff in her hand lit up. Ning Yue only heard a few thick logs in front of her creaking softly, and they were lifted up from the soil little by little. Then it flipped outwards, opening up a gap that could allow one person to come in and out.
However, the girl was not happy because of this. Instead, she frowned: "Why is it you again, mother-in-law?"
"Now nine out of ten people in the camp are Kun Jie's cronies. Who else can take the risk to save you besides me?"
The old woman took another step forward as she spoke, wishing she could lean half of her body into the wooden prison, "Miss, don't hesitate any more, follow me quickly! Otherwise, my lord, he will lead everyone to leave after dawn. What's going on on the road?" Things are changing so unpredictable that it will be even harder to find new opportunities to escape!”
However, facing the opponent who reached out to help her, Ning Yue took two steps back:
"Now you are talking about opportunities... It was clearly your mother-in-law who tried your best to persuade me not to leave before, but now my attitude has changed so quickly. Could it be that you helped Kun Jie act in this drama together!"
"Miss, I was really stupid and refused to believe you before. It wasn't until I saw with my own eyes that the lord brought back those galloping wolves, and that he was indifferent to letting the wolves kill so many people, that I suddenly realized that I had been watching the wolves all along. You lost your sight! I once promised Mrs. Coral that I would never let her suffer any harm again, so please trust me one last time and come with me!"
Faced with the girl's doubts, Granny Cen knelt down directly in front of her and begged.
This situation made Ning Yue's heart suddenly hurt - after all, the other party had always taken good care of her as a daughter since she was a child. Even though she was a bit unreasonable before, she had never done any harm. Do your own thing.
The red-haired girl was finally convinced, put down her guard, and reached out to help the other person up. However, at this moment, she suddenly heard several low barks of galloping wolves coming from the darkness outside the camp, and then three huge beasts walked around. With a frightening pace, they burst into sight menacingly, completely blocking their retreat. The fire reflected in the beast's eyes had no warmth, but was so sharp that it could kill someone.
"How can these monsters break free of their chains?!"
This change did not seem to be in the old woman's original plan. With a backhand palm, she actually pushed Ning Yue back into the wooden prison. She herself raised the staff in her hand and started fighting with the four people around her who were holding weapons. He held fire and stood in front of the giant wolf.
However, in the flickering firelight, the girl could clearly see that everyone among them was shivering under Chilang's bone-chilling oppression just like herself.
The wolves had already tasted the taste of human flesh before, and they swooped up with all four paws unambiguously. They immediately threw a fireman to the ground. The sharp wolf claws scratched his lower abdomen, and his intestines were heavy. The sounds of gasping and struggling flowed out, but it greatly stimulated the other two giant wolves, and they also pounced on them one after another.
But after all, these flame-bearers were Granny Cen's loyal old subordinates. When they saw this, they did not flee. Instead, they waved their weapons and rushed forward. Two of them rushed to the galloping wolf that rushed towards them first. , and struck the wolf's neck with several knives.
The hungry beast was eating the human corpse on the ground with its mouth open. It didn't expect that the prey would have the courage to fight back. Before it could get away, the neck bone was cut off by a sharp blade. However, the tendons on its neck were still connected together, and it was in severe pain. Suddenly he stood up on his two hind legs. The huge wolf head drooped precariously on his chest like a ripe gourd.
Soon, the galloping wolf could no longer control its body and fell to the ground. The wolf's head was also pressed under its heavy trunk, and it finally died.
Seeing this, the other two wolves did not dare to attack rashly, but divided their forces into two groups and came from the side. One of them was quickly entangled by the firemen and fell into a hard fight. The four people and one wolf were evenly matched, and it was difficult for a while. The winner was determined. However, the other galloping wolf took advantage of this opportunity and pounced straight towards Granny Cen who was guarding the entrance of the wooden prison.
The old woman shouted loudly, immediately took two steps back, raised her staff and struck it on the wolf's head. The wolf was in pain and jumped to the side with a mournful cry, but did not give up and showed the full number of fingers in its mouth like a threat. Thick fangs.
Grandma Cen didn't waste even a moment. She silently recited a spell, and the staff in her hand once again emitted a dazzling light. The light pierced Chilang opposite and could no longer open his eyes, as if he had seen the sun. The ghost raised the wolf fur on its back like steel needles and roared, but it arched its back, tucked its tail and dodged left and right, not daring to rush forward again.
The old woman finally got the upper hand and planned to take advantage of the situation to force the galloping wolf back. However, she was too old to be prepared when the wolf suddenly turned its head and tail and actually rushed towards him backwards.
Grandma Cen immediately panicked. In desperation, she planned to grab the thick wolf tail with both hands and drag the giant beast that had rushed in front of her. But the wolf's hind legs flicked hard and easily knocked the old woman to the ground. , and then he rushed forward, and he was only a few feet away from Ning Yue in the wooden prison!
At this moment, the red-haired girl could clearly smell the stench coming out of Chilang's mouth and nose. Just when she thought she was about to die under its claws, the salivating ferocious beast in front of her showed no sign. The earth retreated again.
At the same time, many people outside the wooden prison gathered around with torches and subdued Ning Yue and Granny Cen on the spot. The leader was tall and thin, and it was Kun Jie himself.
"Grandma Cen, you and this girl have betrayed me several times. Do you think I will always be kept in the dark? In fact, I have clearly seen your hesitation and indecision for a long time. I wanted to give it to you.
It was your last chance, but you made more mistakes. In that case, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
It turned out that the escape plan had long been exposed. And everything planned tonight had already fallen into the trap set by the other party. Facing Kun Jie’s questioning, the old woman kneeling on the ground was no longer as submissive as before, but raised her eyes.
Stared back:
"What a last chance, I would rather not have it! The reason why I followed you to land in the first place was because I thought I could find a way to save my people! It's a pity that it wasn't until this moment that I saw clearly that you were actually with the big people in Riverrun City.
There is no difference between priests, they are all devils who care about human life and are not worthy of trust!"
"Devil? Haha, it's gratifying that you can give me such an evaluation. Of all the people in the world, who doesn't do whatever it takes to achieve their own goals? It's just that the winners among them will all become the devils in the mouths of the losers.
That’s it!”
Kun Jie changed his long-pretended easygoing look and slapped the old woman on the cheek hard, "Now that everything is ready, how can I allow a traitor like you to continue when I am about to leave to find the Holy City?"
What are you trying to do? Someone, take the lives of these two people now, chop their bodies into pieces and feed them to the wolves!"
"Kunjie! Have you forgotten Mrs. Coral's last wish? Everything today is my fault. If you want to satisfy your hatred, you will kill me. How can you be so cruel that you won't even let your own daughter go?"
In desperation, Granny Cen finally told the truth that she had been hiding so hard. After hearing this, Ning Yue immediately stopped struggling, as if she had forgotten that she was in danger, turned her head and shouted in disbelief.
