"War, war slave!" Libald looked at the team coming from a distance, tremblingly said, his eyes were full of fear, it took him a long time to calm down the horror in his heart, and then he couldn't help but look to one side with complicated eyes. Seeing Wu Jiu in the distant team, everything was expected by him, what is the origin of this young boy.

Wu Jiu didn't pay attention to the inquisitive line of sight, and his eyes were fixed on the line in the distance. Fifty well-equipped war slaves lined up in ten rows, forming a square formation with a sense of solemnity. This is a well-founded regular army, which is fundamentally different from the stragglers and rogues they put together improvised.

The enemy is more difficult than he imagined, Wu Jiu thought with a frown.

"Let's run away, it's still too late." Without waiting for Wu Jiu to say anything, the bald man on one side said dejectedly. As the leader of a small tribe, he can survive until now, one of the biggest reliance As long as they can see the situation clearly, the group of looters who are fighting openly in front of them are obviously invincible, and it is obviously the safest and safest way to retreat early. After all, in the face of an absolute gap in strength, meaningless struggle will only hurt yourself.

"It's okay for us to escape. If the entire Li family escapes, guess what will happen to the chief steward? After spending a long time manpower, but he didn't get what he wanted, he must be furious. You are not afraid that when the time comes, he will launch The entire Shuojin tribe launched an interception and killing of you in the whole area of ​​Huangchuanze?" Wu Jiu snorted coldly when he heard this, and said unceremoniously.

The corner of Libald's mouth twitched, he never expected that Wu Jiu would return the words of his initial threat intact.

"Then, let's put that thing in the tribe, and then sneak away." Libald quickly came up with a "compromise" method, and then, he couldn't help looking at Wu Jiu with hope.

Wu Jiu looked at him coldly, and said with a smile: "Do you think that he brought so many people here, and he really intends to keep alive? If he really intends to collect a group of health slaves along the way, more than [-] people will be enough Why are there so many people here? I'm afraid he doesn't want anyone to know that he has got that thing. His original plan was to push forward directly and wipe out your tribe. At that time, you will just keep things, even the last With nothing to rely on, tell me, is he going to continue chasing and killing you and destroy the last evidence, or let you let the whole world know that he got the thing with good intentions?"

Wu Jiu unceremoniously exposed the last extravagant hope of Libald. At any time, it is very stupid to hope for the mercy of the opponent.

Besides, that thing was already in Wu Jiu's hands, how could he hand it over easily, he is not a philanthropist.

Now, Libald was completely speechless. All the escape routes he had planned were blocked by Wu Jiu's words. He was really desperate. Fortunately, at this moment, Rong Xiao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. .

"There's something wrong with that team." Rong Xiao said in a deep voice, interrupting the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two of them.

When Wu Jiu was mercilessly intimidating Libald, he had been watching the direction of the team in the distance. At this moment, he found something wrong in the distance, so he couldn't help pointing it out directly.

"What's wrong?" Wu Jiu immediately turned to him and asked, the idea was too hard, if she could find a breakthrough, Wu Jiu didn't want to go head-on.

"There has been a strange fluctuation of soul power around the team, and the source is the person in charge in the middle." Rong Xiao pointed to the short and thin man in the center of the team.

"You mean, he has been using soul power?" Although Wu Jiu's perception of soul power is not as keen as Rong Xiao's, he still quickly heard the problem from Rong Xiao's words.

"That's right. Moreover, in order to make up for his lack of soul power, he is still absorbing soul crystals and replenishing them constantly." Rong Xiao's eyesight was amazing, and he saw at a glance what was in the hands of the thin and small person in charge in the crowd. A soul crystal of unknown rank.

"Could it be that he controlled this team of war slaves through some kind of soul power?" Wu Jiu almost had a flash of inspiration, thinking of a certain possibility.

"I'm afraid it is, otherwise there is no way to explain his behavior. You must know that the soul power of the soul warrior is usually only released during the battle, because the soul power is not like the courage power, which spreads all over here. Once it is exhausted, it can only be released by itself. The cycle recovers slowly, and if you want to replenish it quickly, you need to make up for the loss by constantly absorbing the soul crystals of monsters like him, and this is a very extravagant thing. If there is no special reason, he probably won't do it .” Rong Xiao explained softly.

Seeing the light flash in Wu Jiu's eyes, Rong Xiao continued, "Besides, he shouldn't be able to control this power well. I feel that the fluctuation of the soul power is not stable, especially when it is against him. A soul warrior with a higher soul rank," Rong Xiao pointed to a soul brave man in the middle of the first row of the team: "His soul rank is the highest among the crowd, and has reached the peak of the fourth rank. The restraints around him are the weakest, and his steps are slightly uncoordinated compared with others, the person in charge is probably afraid that he will mess up the battle formation by himself, so he directly put him at the forefront of the charge." Rong Xiao's eyes were burning, and he saw the biggest problem of this team at a glance.

"So, what if we interrupt the person in charge's spellcasting?" Wu Jiu had completely adjusted her thinking at this moment, and couldn't help thinking about countermeasures immediately.

"If that team were all driven by soul power and suddenly stopped, they should have stopped immediately, or lost control and wandered around. Of course, there is another possibility that they broke free from the restraint and became violent." Rong Xiao gave out of their own judgment.

"So that's the case, no wonder they are going all the way forward..." Wu Jiu couldn't help but murmured as she thought of something.

Before the people on both sides could hear it clearly, Wu Jiu changed the subject. He looked at Rong Xiao and asked seriously, "If you were to fight these slaves, what are your chances of winning?"

"If you don't fight head-on and just take chances, I'm [-]% sure. However, if I make a move, it will be a deadly battle. In the end, I'm afraid that both sides will suffer. If they don't survive a few people, I will also be severely injured." Rong Xiao was very angry. The pertinent way, but the answer he gave made the man on one side terrified. His shrewd little eyes couldn't help flickering back and forth between the two teenagers, secretly thinking, where did these two come from? Yes, I have never heard of such a fierce person in the Rong clan before.

"What if I let you bring two soul warriors together?" Wu Jiu said again.

"It's not very effective. Our people have not been trained in team battles. If we rush over, we will not be able to break through the common defense formed by the opponent's phalanx. We will also face their strong counterattack. Not only will we not be able to defeat the enemy, but we will lose a lot of money for nothing. I might as well go alone." Rong Xiao shook his head and said, not optimistic about the team battle that Rong Xiao described.

"It seems that we can only outwit it." Wu Jiu made a final decision, as if he had already made a decision, he turned his face and looked at the bald mane on one side with a smile.

Seeing Hyena's baldness, he felt a pang in his heart, and then suffered another pain. It was only then that he realized belatedly that Wu Jiu's series of questions just now were asked for him.

Sure enough, I heard Wu Jiu say: "Yebald, you should have heard what Patriarch Rong Xiao said just now. There is a huge difference in combat power between this slave team and my clansmen. I want to outwit you. Are you willing to help me?" ?”

"My lord wants me to lure the enemy?" Lie's bald face was ashen, and he couldn't help trembling when he heard the words.

"Let me tell you what you think first." Wu Jiu said noncommittally.

Liebald didn't know what Wu Jiu was thinking, so he swallowed and said, "As Master Rong Xiao said just now, the key to that team is the leader in the middle of the team. If he is lured out to intercept and kill him, The combat power of this strong army will definitely be reduced by half, and by then, it will be much easier for us to lead people to intercept and kill, and we can also avoid meaningless casualties." However, by then, my life may not Sure enough, Libald thought sadly, but didn't dare to say this.

"Your attention is good, so let's do it like this." Wu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, and finally made the final decision.

Hearing the words, Hyebal wanted to tear his mouth, why did he put himself on a dead end road like this, he looked at the boy in front of him and wanted to ask him to change his mind, but seeing that the other party was also making up his mind at the moment Looking at him, there was a determination in the eyes of a superior, obviously not allowing him to refuse, and I couldn't help feeling bitter in my heart.

As a former tribal leader who surrendered, Lietu clearly knew that he could not refuse this matter, otherwise, after the new tribe merged, he would no longer have a foothold, and similarly, he also felt that Here, this is a rare opportunity. If it is done well, it will undoubtedly be a qualified nomination certificate, so that the two chiefs of the tribe in front of him can look at him highly.

Therefore, despite the bitterness in his heart, Hyena finally gritted his teeth and said: "I will try my best to do it in a while, and I just ask you to do what you said in the big tent."

"Don't worry, when the two tribes merge, there will be no distinction between high and low. From now on, there will no longer be the Rong tribe, but only large mixed tribes. I will treat you well." Wu Jiuhao Promised without hesitation.

"You can always remember this promise." Libal looked at Wu Jiu and said sincerely.Wu Jiu's words finally reassured him, he let out a sigh of relief, and the frightened look on his bald face disappeared.

----------------------

Nie Qiao frowned and looked at the gray sky, and thought to himself, "It's been snowing all the way since he set off, and the snow fell on his body, soaking half of his jacket, and a gust of wind brought a biting pain clammy.

Nie Qiao shivered, his complexion was even worse, thinking that since he was a teacher, which time he went out was not in a luxurious dress, a fragrant car and a beautiful attendant, how had he ever suffered such a hardship, and immediately, he scolded that small tribe in a remote place again from the bottom of his heart A hundred times, if it wasn't for the sake of keeping it secret, why would he do it!

Thinking about the scene of trampling that small tribe down for a while in his heart, Nie Qiao suppressed his displeasure. The soul crystals in his hand are limited, he needs to speed up!

After consuming one soul crystal, Nie Qiao was about to use "mental whip" again to make the slaves speed up. Suddenly, there was a sound from a distance, but it was someone walking on the snow!

With a sudden heart attack, he was about to alert the war slaves, when he heard it from afar, he waved his arms and said loudly as he ran: "The person in charge of the Shuojin Department is in front, I'm a bald man, Zabu leader!"

Hearing the sound, his heart moved, and he saw clearly that the ugly man had no weapons in his hands, and there was no fluctuation of soul power in his body, so he couldn't help saying arrogantly: "Why are you here?"

"My lord hasn't arrived yet, and the villain was uneasy, so I greeted him all the way out. I didn't expect that I really had to meet my lord." Hyena bald bowed down and said with a small face, his face was full of surprise and flattery. , making people unable to take any precautions.

"Did you bring that thing?" Hearing this, he asked the question he was most concerned about, and his palms tightened slightly. As long as the bald man dared to say yes, he would immediately let the war slaves take action and stab him. - into a sieve.

"How can I carry such a valuable thing with me? Of course it is placed in the tribe." Libald was stunned when he heard the words, and said as a matter of course, with a moderate surprise in his expression, he took advantage of the opportunity to look up at the crowd surrounded by war slaves. He cunned, and said with some doubts: "My lord, you brought the food that was agreed at the beginning, why didn't you see it?"

"Shut up, are you questioning me?" Nie Qiao couldn't help but sternly said when he was questioned face to face, only then did he realize that he was a little anxious.

"Don't dare, dare not, how dare a villain question an adult." Libald immediately said cautiously.

"Hum..." Nie Qiao snorted angrily, not appreciative, he looked at the other party suspiciously, and planned countermeasures, although the other party's sudden appearance disrupted the plan, but he grabbed him and directly asked where the thing was, and told him There was no difference in the original plan, but there was a calculation in his heart, and he said to the other party: "Come here, I want to ask questions."

"Yes, yes" Hyebal lowered his head and said in trepidation, approaching his goal step by step, his downcast face concealing the coldness in his eyes.

While Libald was talking to the chief executive of the Shuojin Department named Yaqiao, Wu Jiu and Rong Xiao were hiding in the dark, observing carefully.

"How is it?" Seeing that the whole team stopped because of the two talking, Wu Jiu immediately asked anxiously.

"The fluctuation of the soul power is even weaker, almost non-existent. Thinking about it, the opponent is using the soul crystal in his hand to drive this group of war slaves."

"It seems that this team is indeed all under his command." Wu Jiu couldn't help but feel certain.

"At this distance, I can use my soul power to injure him." Rong Xiao said, directly giving a way to capture the thief and the king.

"That's not right," Wu Jiu shook his head and said, "I think he has armor on the outside of his jacket, and the ornamentation may be sealed with defensive spells. If you attack rashly, you may trigger the defense mechanism of the armor, and you won't be able to do it with one blow. He reacted, and I'm afraid there will be other backhands." As he spoke, Wu Jiu pointed at the other party's waist and said, "I have a tricky way, you can press that on his waist, all the soul crystals are from his waist Can the lanyard be broken at this distance?" Wu Jiu pointed to the palm-sized bag at the opponent's waist.

"It's not difficult." "Rong Xiao said.

"Okay, at that moment, don't use soul power, just use tools and strength to knock down the bag."Wu Jiu said decisively.

Rong Xiao nodded, but he heard Wu Jiu say: "Just now you said that direct confrontation will hurt both sides. If you are not allowed to fight against them, what about just robbing people from the crowd and saving them?"

"It's not a problem at all to save one or two people. It's not difficult if you touch and leave." Rong Xiao said bluntly, his words were full of confidence.

"That's good! If everything is in line with our judgment later, and the war slave is really no longer working, you go, first capture the steward, and then save the bald man. If there is no master, the war slave team will be in chaos. Get up, you will directly kill the steward, and we will leave in the chaos.

"I thought you wanted him to die." Rong Xiao said while preparing.

"If he is not allowed to have the determination to die, how can he perform hard and attract attention for us? Moreover, if he does not take advantage of such a good opportunity, how can he test his sincerity? If you don't take him out, how will he convince the tribe in the future." Wu Jiu said cruelly and bluntly.

But at this moment, the hyena had already followed the order of the cunning, and approached him step by step. He lowered his head, his eyes were full of determination to die.

Nie Qiao held the soul crystal in his hand tightly, and quietly issued an order. The slaves started from the first row, opened and closed on both sides, and separated a road, as if they wanted to let the hyena pass through. Qiao himself knew that he had quietly changed his formation, just to capture this third-tier soul warrior in one fell swoop!

Both sides were secretly guarding, and a sharpened bone blade flew out suddenly, only to take the pocket around Qiao's waist!

This attack without killing intent and soul power did not attract the attention of all the war slaves, and even the armor worn by the cunning did not respond at all. The cunning only felt a lightness on the waist, followed by the wrist With a pain, the soul crystal that was just used in the palm of the hand fell to the ground. This sudden change made the cunning unable to recover. The war slaves who came over fought in one place.

Niu Qiao thought, he should immediately pick up the soul crystal on the ground, and immediately control the war slave who was agitated by the battle, but he can only think about it, the next development is completely out of his control, A figure descended from the sky, and Nie Qiao suddenly raised his head, before he could even see the approaching face clearly, he was captured!

Too fast, he has no strength to resist!

Why is the armor not working? !

The two thoughts came up almost at the same time, and Nie Qiao realized belatedly that in the form of the sneak attacker, the opponent seemed to expect him to be on guard, but he didn't use his soul power from the beginning!However, this hindsight did not help him. Soon, he only felt a pain in the back of his neck and passed out.

Rong Xiao was quick and quick, and after knocking out Niu Jiu, he led him out of the battle group.

As the cunning lost consciousness, a miraculous scene happened. The war slaves who were fighting against the bald just now stopped suddenly!

This battle came to a halt in such an abrupt and strange way!

Hyena bald did not expect such a change at all, he used the sharp claws condensed with soul power to penetrate the abdomen of the leading attacker, causing a terrifying wound, and then realized that something was wrong, and stepped back several times step.

Looking at the other party, the attacker who is the leader is the highest soul rank in the whole team, a soul brave man at the peak of the fourth rank, and at this moment, his life is already dying. It will cause organ necrosis, even if it doesn't kill him immediately, excessive blood loss will kill him soon.

However, even after receiving such a serious wound, the latter did not move at all, and even after the injury, he didn't even let out a muffled groan of pain. He just stood there upright, letting the blood splash out, as if A puppet that has lost its soul is shocking to watch.

Hyena obviously didn't expect such a situation to happen. After taking a few steps back, he looked at the war slave in front of him in surprise.

At this moment, Rong Xiao had already brought the comatose Nie Qiao to him.Liebald saw Rong Xiao coming, and couldn't help but make up his mind, and ran to his side in a hurry, feeling that his fate was finally back.

The two looked at each other in silence, only looking at the fifty slaves who had fallen into silence. Although they were still breathing, there was no trace of life on their dull faces.

While they were silently looking at the war slaves, Wu Jiu also came out from his hiding place.

Rong Xiao looked at the other party inquiringly, Wu Jiu shook his head slowly and said, "Leave them here, it's too dangerous to take them back, and it's not easy to transport."

He looked at the war slave who was injured by the mane, hesitated for a moment, and finally sacrificed the soldier talisman in his hand, and a handful of green lights emanated from the blue stone slab, covering the wounded war slave, and soon , I saw that the war slave who had just had a piece of flesh taken out by the hyena bald hair, the wound on his body healed miraculously!

Wu Jiu observed the other party's state, and couldn't help but be secretly satisfied. It only targets one person, and non-fatal injuries caused by soul power can be healed in an instant. If there are a large number of people, this effect should decrease. However, it is also very good, a pity It can only be used once, and in the battle, it can only be used when it is most needed.

After thinking about it in his heart, Wu Jiu raised his head and looked at the sluggish manebald and said, "Quickly get rid of the bloody smell of injuries, these war slaves can't move for the time being, don't attract carnivorous beasts because of the bloody smell. "

Hyena bald would dare not answer, hearing the words, couldn't help nodding.

Quickly dealt with everything from beginning to end, and simply hid the group of war slaves like wooden plastic, Wu Jiu glanced at them for the last time, then turned her head, and left without nostalgia, it was getting late, they needed Go to join the tribes who have already retreated one mile away.

After Wu Jiu left for a long time, the warrior slave who stood at the front of the ranks at the top of Tier [-] regained a bit of spirit in his sluggish eyes. He turned his head slightly and silently looked in the direction of Wu Jiu's departure.

The snow was even heavier, and the wind swept away all the smells. This group of war slaves who had no guidance waited silently in the snow, waiting for the arrival of the colder night.

------------------

Nie Qiao woke up slowly from the coma. When he opened his eyes, he saw the bright yellow bonfire first. He looked around vigilantly. The unfamiliar tent made him finally recall everything that happened before the coma. Thinking of the experience of being captured, he couldn't help but A burst of resentment, since he was in charge until now, has he ever suffered such humiliation? If the damned bastard falls into my hands, I will definitely make him the lowest "duel slave" and suffer from soul-devouring , being whipped by the spirit every day!In his heart, he cursed the attacker who couldn't even see his face clearly a hundred and eighty times, and then began to think hard about countermeasures.

He checked himself first, and then found to his dismay that his body had been stripped clean, not to mention the treasure armor with dark lines, the hairpin on the top of his head, the brocade clothes, and even the inner coat, which was followed by the caller. The shoes and socks were all removed, and now, he is tied naked with two leather ropes made of animal tendons.

Realizing this, the coldness on his face grew stronger, and he cursed the damned sneak attacker a hundred and eighty times again in his heart. He raised his eyes sullenly to patrol the room, and finally, his eyes fell on On the floppy side of the campfire.

I saw a little boy sitting there, a pile of miscellaneous things piled up the couch, he seemed to be playing with them, whether it was delicate hairpins, gorgeous clothes, or soul crystals and book deeds in his pocket, they were all The objects he was playing with, by the light of the fire, he looked at them carefully, his eyes full of interest.

When Nie Qiao saw the pile of things, his eyes lit up, it really didn't take much effort to get them, all those things he lost were placed in front of his eyes!

Looking at his pile of things with scorching eyes, seeing the little boy take out a book from his pocket and play it back and forth in front of the fire, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and said sharply: "Put it down!"

The little boy seemed to be startled by him, and suddenly raised his head, the exquisite facial features made Niu Qiao stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses, it was just an inferior gray feather, after a moment of daze, He regained his domineering momentum, and sternly shouted at the other party: "Put down that contract quickly, if it is damaged, you won't be able to afford it!"

The little boy took a few glances at Niu Jiu, and backed away as if in fear. The stern look of the other party was really scary, but after tying a rope around his body, his deterrent power became less, and he soon lost his fear. With his head held high, he said nonchalantly: "So what if it's broken? The patriarch said that these things are all mine, and I still have to deal with them!"

This damned inferior gray feather!How can you easily get my hands on my things!After hearing the words, Nie Qiao was furious and wanted to curse. Then, he grabbed a point in the other party's words and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You say, your patriarch? Where is this? Who is your patriarch? Is it That mane?" Gu Jiu guessed, but felt that it was wrong, the person who wounded him in the end was obviously more clever, there was no reason to succumb to the mane, he had completely come to his senses, the sudden appearance of the mane , It was a trap, the other party used him to attract his attention, and then suddenly launched a sneak attack, it was extremely cunning, he was a scheming guy, he was making evaluations from the bottom of his heart, and was just about to listen to what the little boy said, and analyze what was more Come more.

Unexpectedly, the latter didn't cooperate, and snorted: "I didn't tell you, who told you to kill me just now." The little boy held his head up, with a stinky expression on his face, which made people feel heartbroken.

Gritting his teeth, he finally let go of the anger on his face, and said in the most calm voice: "I was wrong just now, I apologize to you, and you can tell me about your patriarch, if I am satisfied , I will tell you how to use these things, how about it?"

Who knows, the little boy chuckled when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I need you to teach me how to use these things. These clothes, shoes and socks are all worn on the body, the pockets are for holding things, and the hairpins are for fixing things." The one with the hair, I can tell right away, there is no use for you." He looked at Nie Qiao contemptuously, as if he was a crappy liar.

"These are all Horcruxes, each of them has a function, don't you want to know about them?" Nie Qiao was dazed by his anger, but still patiently said in the most gentle voice.

"Really?" The little boy was finally aroused a little bit of interest, but still hesitantly said.

"Of course it's true. Let's just say that the thing in your hand is called a book deed. Although it is inconspicuous, it is very precious. It contains powerful magic spells. You can use it as long as you open it. You, what's inside There is a very powerful protection, as long as you tear it off, you can start, you can try it and you will know." Nie Qiao said patiently, after speaking, he stared at the boy closely.

The little boy seemed to want to try, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "The patriarch said, you are a cunning guy, you were almost tricked by you, what if I open this thing at will and get hurt by it. "As he said, he threw the long and thin letter far away, looking disgusted.

His thoughts were seen through at a glance, and his expression changed, but he still insisted: "Your patriarch doesn't know me, how can you know what kind of person I am, I just remind you kindly, if you don't want to listen, forget it!"

"That's true, the patriarch has never seen you, maybe it's nonsense." Unexpectedly, the little boy nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, as if he was persuaded by him.

"Then why don't you try it quickly." Nie Qiao didn't miss any chance.

Unexpectedly, the little boy shook his head, and said resolutely: "Although the patriarch may be wrong, he has repeatedly told me to watch you carefully. I am the most obedient, and I can't live up to his expectations." The face is serious and the tone is very solemn.

"Who are you? That patriarch of yours actually entrusted you with a heavy responsibility." The cunning continued following his words seemingly unintentionally.

"I'm the patriarch's Wu Zhu!" The little boy said immediately, he puffed out his chest, as if he was very proud, watching the corners of his mouth twitch, his evaluation of the mysterious patriarch suddenly dropped a bit, the other party must have no What has he seen in the world, but a gray feather, which has not even transformed into a second time, got his blue eyes, thinking that in his hands, there are countless beautiful feathers, and there are countless higher-level ones. You can walk this path and see if you can lure him to let him live.

I couldn't stop calculating in my heart, but I heard the little boy say: "Just tell me the names and functions of these things, and I'll go tell the patriarch, he is the most knowledgeable, if you are right, How about I give you a few good words in front of the patriarch?" The little boy looked at him excitedly, as if I thought of you very much.

Nietou saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart. He believed that the boy wanted to use these things, and he was afraid that he would deceive him, so he wanted the "well-informed" patriarch to make sure that these things were safe. After that, use it again.

He sneered from the bottom of his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all, and he said with a look of surprise: "If so, thank you." After speaking, he began to introduce the function of each item very obediently, seven points were true and three points were false He didn't believe the words that he said without any burden. The "patriarch" who had no knowledge could hear the flaws in it. Whether it was the gray feather boy in front of him or himself, as long as he couldn't help it, open the With that contract, he is enough to stand up!

He stared closely at the precious book that was only a thin line away from the fire, making the final calculation in his mind.
