Hang Shiqi walked to the dock, but he didn't see Frost Wolf's king ship. What was docked in front of him was a very ordinary merchant ship.
Hang Shiqi took two steps back, feeling increasingly uneasy: "Where is Ao Wu?"
"His Royal Highness the Wolf King's ship left yesterday." A hooded old man stood on the deck and looked down at Hang Shiqi. His old face hidden in the shadows showed a vague smile: "My child, it has been a long time.
Gone."
Cocoon Priest!
Hang Shiqi's heart hit the bottom all the way. The fear engraved in his soul made his voice tremble a little, and he called out the familiar and unfamiliar title: "Teacher..."
After Hang Shiqi shouted, he wanted to run away. The cocoon mouse priest opened his palm, and a few drops of Hang Shiqi's blood condensed into a red blood bead, which flew around in his palm. At the same time, Hang Shiqi felt a strange feeling.
The invisible restraints were constantly oppressing him, making him unable to change into his animal form, unable to use his abilities, or even unable to move.
Although he was not bent over, he still lost control of his body. Like a puppet on strings, he watched as he stepped onto the deck step by step and walked to the hooded old man.
The old man raised his hand, and his skinny palm touched Hang Shiqi's soft cheek like rough snake skin.
"Welcome home, my child."
"..." Hang Shiqi, who couldn't speak, had ten thousand grass-mud horses running through his heart at this moment.
Welcome sister, who is your child? Don’t mistake relatives. My father is so handsome, so he couldn’t give birth to a father as ugly as yours! You can live in that rat’s nest if you like, it has nothing to do with me.
The Cocoon Priest looked at Hang Shiqi carefully, as if looking at a piece of art: "I didn't notice the difference between you and other Cocoon Orcs before. How perfect, a Cocoon Orc with a free soul. You and those inferior Orcs
The puppet is different, it is indeed my most outstanding masterpiece."
Hang Shiqi rolled his eyes hard - he couldn't move now, so only his eyes could express his rebellious and unruly soul.
The Cocoon Priest took him back to the cabin leisurely, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Please sit down."
Hang Shiqi "obediently" sat down on the chair.
"Isn't it interesting? Why don't you just control me to sit down?" Hang Shiqi was complaining in his heart, but he didn't expect to say it directly. He touched his throat, and belatedly found that he could move.
However, Hang Shiqi also understood that with the presence of the Cocoon Rat Priest, he would be able to regain control of his thoughts and would not have a chance to escape.
The Cocoon Priest took off his hood and revealed his old face: "My child, don't look at me with such guarded eyes. In fact, I am not hostile to you. On the contrary, I have always admired you."
"No hostility? Why don't you return the blood you stole from me first?" Hang Shiqi stretched his hand forward unceremoniously.
The Cocoon Priest said: "I can return the blood to you, but I think there is a little misunderstanding between us that needs to be explained."
"Explain what? I wasn't summoned by you from another world? You didn't erase my memory and turn me into a tool? After I escaped from control, you didn't try to regain control of me or kill me?" Hang Shi
Qi said: "I don't think there is anything easy to explain between us."
"Provoking me is not a rational choice, my child." The cocoon priest warned with a smile on his face.
Hang Qiyi spread his hands: "I'm sorry, who told you not to make me more rational when you made me? Just bear with it."
"That's all," the Cocoon Mouse Priest shook his head, like a loving elder who indulged his children: "I admit all your accusations, but I didn't harm you. You were already dead in your original world, and I was the one who brought it to you.
You summoned me and gave you a chance to live a new life."
Hang Shiqi's stomach churned with nausea, and he wanted to refute, but the memory he recovered was fragmentary, and he did not remember whether he had died before traveling through time. Or maybe the other person was talking about longevity, and he was already dead before traveling through time.
, this is possible. After all, when he was eighteen, his longevity should have been thirteen years old. For a husky, he was not young.
Hang Shiqi was careful not to reveal that he had recovered his memory. He only said: "If your so-called new life means being enslaved by you as a tool, then I would rather not do it. I think other cocoon orcs think so too."
"How can those Cocoon Orcs compare with you? They are just a group of walking corpses with only instincts left." The Cocoon Priest stared directly at Hang Shiqi with his turbid gray-green eyes.
Hang Shiqi curled his lips, you made someone like that, and you still dislike him. Shameless. However, there is no objection to the dispute of words. If the old man is not angry to death, he will be the one who suffers. Hang Shiqi decided to ask something useful
.
"Cocoon Rat and Cloud Fox have joined forces?"
"The seven royal families are our eternal enemies." The corymouse priest said.
"What's going on with Yun Wulan and Feng Mo Tong?" Hang Shiqi felt that there seemed to be some clues in the words of the Cocoon Priest, but he couldn't catch them accurately for the moment. He scratched his head and thought of what they had given him this afternoon.
Dai □□’s matter: “Did you switch the real two of them?”
The Priest of the Cocoon Rat laughed, his chest vibrating like a leaking bellows: "Your idea is really naive. How can the king of a clan be so easy to disguise? Of course they are still themselves."
"Then why did Yun Wulan help you trick me here?" Hang Shiqi asked.
"Of course it's because I gave him enough benefits to tempt him," the Priest of the Cocoon Rat said with his hands behind his hands.
Hang Shiqi couldn't imagine what it was that a Cloud Fox King couldn't get and needed to betray his allies to ask for help from the Cocoon Rat. He tried hard to think about it. Could it be the previous rumor that he could change his body to maintain immortality by passing through the game? "You know
Is Shuran your junior brother with a different body?"
Hang Shiqi expected to see an expression of shock, anger or fear on the face of the Cocoon Priest. But he was disappointed.
The Priest of the Cocoon Mouse smiled faintly: "He thinks he can do some tricks behind my eyes. In fact, I have been paying attention to him over the years. His experiments are very interesting, but of course the risks are also high. I don't like risks, so I just need to
Just water and fertilize it patiently in the dark, wait for the fruit to mature, and then pick it off in one fell swoop."
Just wait for others to finish their research, then you can cut off the nonsense and talk about being so literary and artistic, as if you are doing human affairs. However, Hang Shiqi tried for a long time, but he still couldn't determine what the Cocoon Rat Priest relied on to impress Yun Wulan.
Forget it. Hang Shiqi gave up thinking and decided to hand over this difficult problem to Ao Wu.
Speaking of Ao Wu... Hang Qi Qi thought: Does he know that he has been caught? Will he come to rescue him? Hang Qi Qi is not sure whether his tips are too subtle. The kebab seller
Uncle, you won’t just throw your things into the river, right?
Priest Priest Cocoon opened the window, and outside the window, night gradually fell, and the light of sunset evenly spread on every roof and every street in Wanze City, making them appear quiet and peaceful.
"Wanze City will be very lively tonight. It's because of you." Priest Cocoon Rat suddenly said.
"What are you going to do?" Hang Shiqi suddenly had a bad premonition. Shouldn't they take him away in a low-key manner? Do they still want to cause trouble?
"What did you do?" Priest Cocoon Rat turned around: "As soon as we leave the city, you will receive a signal and kill all the guards in the small courtyard. Soon, the seven royal families will know that you escaped.
The news is that there is a massive manhunt for you in the city and on the docks."
"And you will lead them into the ambush I set. Guess how many orcs and bloodlines of the seven royal families will die tonight because of you. Will their blood be enough to fill this river?" Cocoon Rat
When the priest talked about the seven royal families, his eyelids trembled with excitement, and the vertical and horizontal wrinkles contained deep-seated hatred for them and the pleasure of revenge.
Hang Shiqi didn't want to guess. He thought of the old man from the Crane clan who had been chasing him all afternoon but couldn't catch up. He could only blow his beard and glare at him. He thought of being so angry that he threw mud at him and then he had a great time.
The Yunhu brothers are so cute; I think of the armored bear guard at the door who always dozes off and drools; and the few liger warriors outside the yard who walk as lightly as ghosts and will suddenly jump out of a corner to scare people. They are all going to die.
.Although they only knew each other for a few days, Hang Shiqi still felt a little sad.
But he doesn't think it's his fault. The Cocoon Priest wants to use the person pretending to be himself to kill people, and then make himself take the blame. He not only makes others think that he is the one who killed the person, but also makes people feel guilty.
I think these people were killed by me, why?
"It doesn't matter how much you die. It's you who harm people in my name, and it's not me who harms people. Don't blame me." Hang Shiqi didn't let him get in the way.
"The same thing, if you don't kill them, they will die because of you. If it weren't for you..."
Hang Shiqi was unmoved, interrupted him and shouted loudly: "I died because of you, it was you who killed me, it has nothing to do with me! Otherwise, if you stop now or let me go, no one will have to die."
Come on. You murderer, don’t even think about passing the blame on me, I won’t do this!”
As a result of his stubbornness, Hang Shiqi was knocked unconscious.
"What a disobedient child, that's all. I will teach you personally when I get home." Priest Priest of the Cocoon Mouse told his subordinates: "Take him down and take care of him carefully. He shouldn't wake up before we get to the underground palace.
"
"Yes." Two young cocoon rats carried the fainted Hang Shiqi and left.
At this time, Ao Wu was on the boat returning to the north. He had just traveled north for a day when he received an urgent letter from Wanze City.
[Hang Shiqi killed the guards of the small courtyard and escaped. Except for the Fire Feather Tribe and Frost Wolf Tribe who had already left, the other five tribes remaining in the city had issued a wanted order against Hang Shiqi. 】
"Boss, do we want to return?" Ao Jing asked.
"If you don't return, you will immediately return to the capital with Shuangyu, deploy troops, and seal the border across the board." Ao Wu's tone was calm as usual, but the hand holding Xin's hand was shaking slightly because it was too hard.
"All lines?" Ao Jing asked: "Will the eastern front also be blocked?" That side is Yunhu's territory and has been open for a long time.
"Blockade. At this time, we can no longer trust anyone. Especially... Yunhu." Ao Wu said: "The Cocoon Rat and the Fire Feather Clan will not let go of this opportunity to sow discord between us and the Seven Royal Clan. Next, they
It is very likely that the Frostwolves helped Hang Shiqi escape back to the north and threatened us with war to cooperate with the investigation."
"This is obviously a frame-up, why don't we explain it?" Ao Jing asked.
"Explanations will only show that we are afraid and will be more likely to fall into passivity." Ao Wu: "Now we must be strong to scare them and buy time."
Ao Jing: “What if I can’t be shocked?”
Ao Wu: "Any clan that dares to intrude will be beaten out."
Ao Jing nodded: "What about Hang Shiqi?"
Ao Wu: "Give me a small boat and I'll go back and check the situation."
Ao Wu believed that Hang Shiqi never escaped on his own initiative, and that he must have made a mistake somewhere.
"Yes." Ao Jing raised her head worriedly and asked in a low voice: "Are you going alone? This..."
"It's easy to be exposed when there are many people. It's safer for me to be alone. I'm just saving people. I have a sense of proportion." Ao Wu knew what Ao Jing was worried about: "I have roughly figured out the location of the cocoon rat in the past few days. If Shi Qi is really cocooned,
I will definitely bring him back if he is taken away by the rat. I just want to hide the information that I am not in the north. Except you, Shuangyu and the high priest, don’t let anyone know about it. During my absence, you can handle all matters big and small.
Make up your own mind, and if you are not sure, ask the high priest.”
"Yes, Ao Jing understands."
When night fell completely, Wanze City fell into chaos of fighting.
The uncle who was grilling fish, listening to the terrifying beast roar in the distance, hurriedly closed the stall and went home. However, he found two strings of pendants tied together from the skewer tube. One was wearing a metal tag, and the other was wearing an engraved tag.
Wolf fangs.
"Who accidentally dropped it?" The grilled fish uncle touched his bare head in confusion, took the two pendants back home, and brought them to a pawn shop called Yuntian Pavilion early the next morning.
The pawnshop owner of Yuntian Pavilion was startled when he saw the wolf fang. Yuntian Pavilion is an industry under Yun Wuzhen's name, and stores everywhere are basically managed by Yunhu. Yunhu has a close relationship with Frost Wolf, so he naturally recognizes the significance of this.
of wolf teeth.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to delay and immediately contacted his boss. However, he was told that the boss hadn't gotten up yet and asked him to wait downstairs.
At this time, Yun Wuzhen was actually awake, with his eyes open blankly, facing Ao Wu under the bed, who had a dark face and held a knife against him, questioning his life.
Last night, he suddenly heard from his eldest brother that Hang Shiqi had killed the guards sent by various clans in the small courtyard and ran away. He also argued with his eldest brother for a long time, saying that Hang Shiqi could not help Cocoon Rat. As a result, he confronted Ao when he came up this morning.
Wu's knife.
Yun Wuzhen asked in a weak and trembling voice: "Brother, didn't you go back to the north?"
