Yu Fangqing accepted the compensation bill, and Ao Wu also put aside his hostility, took the people to the main hall, ordered them to serve tea and snacks, and finally felt a little like treating guests.
A group of people sat down in the main hall.
Having lost so much, Yu Fangqing became more determined to win over Yun Wuzhen: "Since the Wolf King and Yun Fox King plan to continue to deal with the cocoon rat clan, why not leave Yun Wuzhen to me now, and I can send another team of people
Help you find the whereabouts of the cocoon rat. The mermaid tribe has special news channels in the water."
With such an attractive condition, Yun Wuzhen thought that if he was not the one being sold, he would consider it.
"No need." Ao Wu refused without hesitation.
Yun Wuzhen looked at Ao Wu with a moved face: "You are indeed my good brother!"
Ao Wu glanced at Yun Wuzhen: "Don't get me wrong, I just can't trust the mermaid clan. After all, the mermaid clan has gone back on its word and betrayed its companions not once or twice. It's better not to have such teammates who may stab me at any time."
When Yu Fangqing heard such comments, she smiled and didn't mind. Mermaids are such a race. They don't have a fixed position. They only like to follow the footsteps of the strong. In their eyes, strength is justice.
"But I won't give up on Yun Wuzhen. Since the Wolf King won't let him go, I can only use my own method to get him."
Ao Wu: "What happens between Yun Wuzhen and you is a private matter between the two of you, and I will not interfere. But if it affects the Frostwolf clan, you know the consequences."
Yun Wuzhen: "Why don't you interfere? After all, we have been brothers for so many years. At most, I won't compete with you for Xiao Qi."
Before Ao Wu opened his mouth, Hang Shiqi said first, "It's useless for you to grab her. I don't like you."
A smile overflowed from Ao Wu's eyes, but it was only when he looked at Hang Shiqi. When he turned to Yun Wuzhen, his face turned into his usual indifferent face: "I have to find a solution for the romantic debt I incurred."
Yun Wuzhen: "Don't be like this. We cooperate so happily. If I leave, who will help you check for cocoons?"
Ao Wu corrected: "It's a cooperation between the Frost Wolf and the Yunhu clan. I don't mind if the Yunhu clan changes people."
"Brother——" Yun Wuzhen had no choice but to look at his brother.
Yun Wulan looked at his silly brother with disgust, sighed, and smoothed things over: "I think it's better not to change the person. Wu Zhen has always been responsible for this matter, and changing people is troublesome. I don't think it's better for Island Master Yu to do this.
This matter won't take too long to deal with. We have set a one-year deadline. After one year, if you still insist on asking for someone, I won't stop you, and the Wolf King will probably not stop you again.
Time to think about it, what do you think?"
Yu Fangqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned her gaze to Hang Shiqi: "Does Yun Wuzhen really like you?"
Hang Shiqi didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to him. Before Hang Shiqi opened his mouth, Yun Wuzhen said first, "It has nothing to do with him that I don't like you. Besides, he likes Ao Wu, and I have given up on him."
Yu Fangqing: "I know, I just want to tell you that I can wait for you for a year, but this year, you have to wait for me to pick you up, and don't provoke anyone else, otherwise the one-year period will be invalid, and I will take care of you at all costs.
You go back to the island."
Yun Wuzhen's usually casual fox eyes finally showed some sharpness: "Yu Fangqing, I think you may have made a mistake about something. I am the young prince of the Yunhu clan after all. I don't want to argue with you because I miss my old relationship and feel I owe you something.
For you. But on land, I may not be afraid of you. Who I like is my freedom and has nothing to do with you. If you insist on involving irrelevant people, don't blame me for falling out."
Yu Fangqing narrowed her eyes: "The game is only fun if you come and go. I'm waiting for you to fall out."
It was rare that Yun Wuzhen lost his smile and became frighteningly serious: "I'll go back and take a rest."
With that said, he left in a hurry.
Yun Wulan showed a bit of worry: "I'll go see him."
Ao Wu: "King Yunhu, please help yourself."
"Is he okay?" Hang Shiqi asked with concern.
"It's okay," Ao Wu touched Hang Shiqi's head: "Yun Wuzhen always treats feelings as a child's play. It's not a bad thing to suffer a little loss and gain a lesson. Let him be quiet for a while. Today I gave He Xian a letter of thanks.
Post, will you go with me to Xiaokun Mountain?"
As soon as Hang Shiqi heard that he could go out to play, he immediately threw all the rumors behind him: "Okay!"
Strictly speaking, Xiaokun Mountain is not a real mountain, but a small hill extending from Kun Mountain. However, because the Crane tribe’s territory is here, it gained the reputation of Xiaokun Mountain.
Hexian is the name given to the leader of the Crane clan. The Crane clan is known as the "hidden" clan among the seven royal clans and has a transcendent status. On the one hand, it is because they live in seclusion all year round and do not care about worldly affairs. On the other hand, because the Crane Beastmen have a long lifespan,
The lifespan of an orc is between 100 and 150 years, while the average Crane tribe can live between 300 and 500 years. The current leader of the Crane tribe, He Xian, is already 800 years old and is the absolute leader among the seven royal tribes.
elder.
In addition, the Crane Clan's training system is different from that of other orcs. Other races are divided into fighting orcs who exercise physical strength and orc priests who use the power of nature, but the Crane Clan studies the spiritual power of the orcs.
Other races have tried to steal the master, but found that the cultivation of this kind of energy requires a lot of time. Even if the talent is cultivated from an early age, it will take nearly a hundred years to practice to achieve success. Except for the orcs of the Crane tribe, there are probably only turtle shells who live in Shuibai.
The orcs have this destiny to practice. But the turtle-shell orcs are not interested in such mysterious things at all. An indestructible hard shell is their favorite. Therefore, spiritual power is still unique to the crane clan.
When Ao Wu arrived with Hang Shiqi, Hexian and the Iron-armored Bear King were playing chess in a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The Iron-Armored Bear King is still held by Zong Yao's grandfather. The Iron-Armored Bear King is currently over ninety years old and looks a bit old. On the other hand, the eight hundred-year-old Hexian, except for his gray hair and beard, doesn't have much on his face.
Wrinkled, he looks like a middle-aged man. If he continues like this, he will most likely live to be over a thousand years old, setting a new longevity record for the Crane tribe.
"Junior Ao Wu, I have seen the Crane Immortal and the Iron-armored Bear King." Ao Wu bowed his hands in a junior salute.
Hexian stroked his beard, looked at Ao Wu with squinted eyes, and asked, "Have you changed people again? Where is the boy from last time?"
"I heard that he died of illness three years ago." The Iron Bear King dropped a piece on the chessboard: "It's a pity that he is so young and much younger than me."
Hexian didn't have many expressions. He had seen too many lives and deaths, and he had already looked away: "Please sit down, Your Highness the Wolf King. And the person next to you..."
He Xian stared at Hang Shiqi and suddenly stopped talking.
"His name is Hang Shiqi, and he is my future queen." Ao Wu introduced.
Hexian remained silent, staring at Hang Qiqi with a pair of eyes, as if thinking about something.
Upon seeing this, the Iron-armored Bear King greeted him warmly: "He is Hang Shiqi. I heard that boy Zong Yao say yesterday that if you are so beautiful, your animal shape must also be very good-looking. The Wolf King is a lucky one."
Ao Wu thanked him calmly.
"One body, two souls." Hexian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke: "This is strange. Your Highness, the Wolf King, you, the quasi-queen, have a not simple background."
Hang Shiqi looked at Hexian in surprise. He had only found out not long ago that there were two souls in his body, a human and a dog, or Shuangyu found out by searching his memory. How did Hexian know?
Hexian looked at Hang Shiqi's face and thought: "So you know it yourself."
Hexian's brown eyes looked at him deeply, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Hang Shiqi bluffed: "How can I not know my own body?"
Ao Wu shook his head. Hang Shiqi's silly sentence was tantamount to acknowledging the other party's statement.
"What did He Xian see?" Ao Wu pulled Hang Qi behind him.
"Two souls, one half awake and half asleep, the other broken." Hexian stroked his beard and said, "Is the old man right?"
Hang Shiqi's heart skipped a beat. Shuang Yu had also said that Husky's soul was broken, but half of his memory had not been recovered. He said that he could still fight if he was half awake and half asleep.
Ao Wu remained calm: "Then Hexian, do you think this half-awake and half-asleep person can be awakened? The fragmented one can be revived."
He Xian shook his head: "This is the only time I've ever seen him in this condition. After the meeting of the seven royal clans is over, can you lend me someone to go back and study."
Hang Shiqi looked around and understood Ao Wu's intention: "Is there any way you can save Changsheng?"
Hexian: "Long life? Is it the broken soul?"
Hang Shiqi didn't remember until he finished speaking. It turned out that the dog he raised was named Changsheng. Hang Shiqi's face showed a hint of longing and reminiscing: "Well, his name is Changsheng, he is a dog, and the name was given by me.
He took it, I hope he can live longer."
Hexian: "I can try, but I can't guarantee the result."
"That's okay, you save him." Hang Shiqi thought, after all, it won't be worse than now.
"So, you agree?" He Xian asked.
"But you have to wait. It's not convenient for me recently." Hang Shiqi thought that if he said it, he might expose the identity of the cocoon orc. It would be too dangerous to expose it at this time. It is better to wait until the matter of the cocoon orc is resolved.
.
"Okay, I can afford to wait." Hexian took out a crane feather from his body and said, "If you think about it, come to Kunshan to find me."
Hang Shiqi pinched the snow-white crane feather. It felt heavy and his hands were shaking when he pressed it. Is this a feather? No, this is the hope of his own dog.
When going down the mountain, Ao Wu obviously felt that Hang Shiqi was in a good mood. He kept curling up the corners of his mouth without saying anything, and his tail kept wagging behind him, and it swiped at Ao Wu's legs several times because of the excessive amplitude.
Ao Wu was afraid that Hang Shiqi's expectations were too high, so he poured cold water on it in advance: "The soul is so mysterious that even Hexian wouldn't dare to vouch for it, so don't have too much hope. It's best if you can save it, but if you can't..."
"I know, I know." Hang Shiqi's smile did not diminish and his eyes were bright: "It is a hope after all. It would be great if I can survive."
Ao Wu's heart suddenly softened: "Yeah."
After returning from the visit, it was still early, so Ao Wu took Hang Shiqi for a walk around the central city.
Hang Shiqi counted on his fingers as he walked: "We have seen ligers, cloud foxes, mermaids, armored bears, and the Crane clan. There is still the Fire Feather clan. Shall we go tomorrow?"
Ao Wu: "If we don't go to Huoyu, they won't come to visit us."
"The relationship is not good?" Hang Shiqi asked.
Ao Wu: "Well, the Valley of Flames borders the western frontier of the Northern Territory. There is a lot of friction, and we have long since stopped communicating with each other."
Hang Shiqi clicked his tongue twice: "It's strange that you have such a good relationship with Yunhu on the eastern front, but such a bad relationship with the Fire Yu tribe on the western front. Is it because Yunhu is better at being a good person?"
Ao Wu: "Yunhu has a smooth and thoughtful temperament, and he is really popular among the seven tribes."
The two of them were walking forward while talking. However, they heard a noise in front of them, and could vaguely see a group of blond-haired people in the middle who were very excited.
"Would you like to go take a look?" Hang Shiqi asked without waiting for an answer. He pulled Ao Wu and squeezed into the crowd.
Standing in the center of the crowd was the Liger King Miao Sheng and his bodyguards. Miao Sheng was furious: "Check, check it out for me, can my dignified soldiers of the liger clan really be killed by a mouse?"
"Who was killed?" Hang Shiqi asked, stretching his head.
"It's you. I sent people to look for you. They said you went out today."
Miao Sheng glanced at Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu and said gloomily, "Then the rat who drugged Ao Wu will kill the people I sent to follow him. Do you know anything? If you know anything, tell me quickly. I will expose it."
Their rat's nest, skinned their rats! It's really a turn-on!"
Hang Shiqi and Ao Wu looked at each other and were glad that they didn't tell Miao Sheng. Otherwise, Nan Xia's territory would have started to be overthrown.
"We really don't know." Hang Shi lied seriously.
Ao Wu: "Miao Sheng, please calm down. Their people may still be hiding in the dark. It's not safe for you here. Let's leave here first and find a safe place to talk slowly."
But before the three of them left, a cloud of white smoke suddenly rose up, blurring everyone's sight.
"Hold your breath, be careful, this smoke is poisonous." Someone shouted, and everyone reached out to cover their noses. Some screamed, cursed, and pushed and tried to run away.
Ao Wu quickly stretched out his hand to pull Hang Shiqi, fearing that he would lose it, but his hand came up empty.
"Ao Wu."
Ao Wu heard Hang Shiqi's voice coming from behind him, not far behind him. He was a little confused, because Hang Shiqi was clearly standing next to him just now.
Ao Wu only hesitated for a moment and realized that Hang Shiqi would not run so far away in an instant. This was not Hang Shiqi's voice, but a trap.
Ao Wu's face turned even colder. Cocoon Rat was somewhat proficient in poisons. He didn't know whether the white smoke was really poisonous, but in this case it was absolutely unreasonable to risk smelling it.
He couldn't see or smell. In this messy environment, he couldn't judge Hang Shiqi's location for a while.
This operation was targeted at them from beginning to end. Even the men who killed the Liger King here were planned in advance. Their real targets were themselves and Hang Shiqi.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, the white smoke cleared up quite a bit, but there was still the shadow of Hang Shiqi somewhere nearby.
"Ah, they're dead!" someone screamed.
Ao Wu hurriedly looked for information and saw three corpses lying on the ground. The wounds were all on their feet. Someone deliberately placed poisonous nails nearby. And the place where they died was exactly where he heard the sound just now.
.
"This smoke is really evil. What happened to the meeting of the seven royal clans? There are so many things..." Miao Sheng complained with a frown. No one spoke, Miao Sheng turned to look at Ao Wu, and was frightened to death by his expression.
Exploded.
Ao Wu's eyes were filled with blood, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife. His thin lips were pursed and slightly raised, but it was not a smile, but a deep suppressed anger. He looked like an enraged wolf about to start.
Become crazy.
Passers-by around him also noticed the sudden drop in temperature in the air and retreated to a safe distance. Those who were complaining about the crowd also stayed away from Ao Wu.
"Aowu Aowu Aowu! I'm here!" Hang Shiqi suddenly revealed his plush dog's head from a tree more than ten meters high next to him. He was stuck in a tree branch high up and was stretching out a tree.
He waved his paw towards Ao Wu.
Ao Wu's angry expression cracked and turned into a dumbfounded look, mixed with a bit of luck that he was fine: "Why did you get there?"
"White smoke suddenly came out just now, and then someone grabbed my hand and dragged me to the side." Hang Shiqi said: "But how fast I reacted, I fell into the shape of a beast, and I didn't know where was safe around me. I was closed
My eyes ran a few steps before I hit a tree. When I got anxious, I used the wind to lift myself up."
After Hang Shiqi finished speaking, he proudly asked Ao Wu, "How is it? I'm quite powerful. Can I protect myself?"
Ao Wu raised his eyebrows gently: "It's very impressive. You did a good job. Come down quickly."
The awesome Hang Qiyi's smile froze, he lowered his head to look at the ground, tentatively lowered his paws far enough, then quickly retracted, and said weakly: "Well, I blew the wind too hard just now, and I don't have the strength now. Next.
