Chapter 197
On the other hand, after finishing the hunting of the Black Swamp, Bai Xiao took Zhang Ying all the way north and headed directly to Yushan City.
But it was not to really "treat traitors", but to find the beast king.
He doesn't need to care about the so-called traitor matters at all. Since Qingyue and Yuan Shi have captured all the information on the withered leaves in the confused realm, then the Gao family's scum who colluded with the immortal tree will be left to them to deal with.
The Tree of Eternal Life is the public enemy of the Empire, and everyone can kill it. As long as they release the news, the boys from the Gao family will basically be dead.
Bai Xiao didn't want to waste his precious time on the fish.
He was still more interested in the Beast King of the Beast who had stolen the seeds of immortality and evolved.
According to Zhang Ying's confession, the beast king was unusually cunning. After defeating all his competitors and stealing the immortal seed, he did not hunt humans like the beast king in the past and continued his strength. Instead, he seemed to have noticed that the crisis was approaching early and chose to hide!
Generally speaking, when the beast kings just awaken, they are extremely hungry for demonic energy and can hardly maintain their rationality. They will hunt humans regardless of everything, absorb magic energy, and then gradually recover their rationality during hunting... But by that time, the beast tide has often become, and humans have all their guards, and things cannot end well again.
But this time the Beast King suppressed his instinct from the beginning, and disappeared almost without a trace after winning the seed of immortality!
"In fact, I can't be sure if it is really in Yushan City, but He Yu once told me before his death. The beast king was very cunning and hid in the most densely populated place of humans but did not trigger it, so he couldn't lock the position at the beginning. The most densely populated place nearby was Yushan City."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he felt even more excited.
This beast king actually understands the principle of being hidden in the city!
Indeed, for normal hunters, who would search for prey at the beast king level near the human settlement area? And which beast king would be so stupid as to be with humans? Even if you don’t consider the irresistible temptation in instinct... Once discovered by humans, rare birds and strange beasts will inevitably end up lying on the dissection table.
The so-called darkness under the lamp is sometimes not just an illusion, but also a kind of common sense.
Therefore, prey that can be cunning enough to understand the principle of using dark under the lamp is absolutely rare in the snow-capped hunting grounds!
Of course, when this matter has developed to this point, Bai Xiao, as an outsider, can hand over the information to Yu Shanjun and let them handle the follow-up.
But... How could Bai Xiao give it to someone else such a good hunting opportunity?
At the same time, Zhang Ying followed Bai Xiao all the way north, clearly feeling the excitement and fighting spirit in the boy's heart, and became more and more uneasy.
"Sir, the beast seed cannot be touched by human bodies, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable. If you go directly to hunt the beast king, it may be... dangerous."
Bai Xiao turned his head and glanced at her.
Zhang Ying's heart trembled, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at the other party, and explained in a soft voice: "I have asked He Yu what the consequences would be if he touched the beast species with a human body... He did not explain in detail, but only said that the consequences I would never want to know. He does not like to intimidate, so I think it's better to be careful."
Bai Xiao remained silent. This heavy pressure made Zhang Ying almost breathless, and she couldn't help but rack her brains to think about where she said the wrong thing.
In fact, Bai Xiao was just waiting for the messenger in the confused domain to reply.
But Yuan Shi and Qingyue were very busy at this time, gathering together to write and draw, sometimes closing their eyes to ponder, sometimes talking and laughing... Seeing Bai Xiao looking at him with a consultation, Yuan Shi said without looking back: "That person's surplus value has been drained, and he is like a useless person, so you can freely use it."
Bai Xiao looked at the two of them for a while, but received no further response, so he felt like a useless person whose surplus value was drained.
After returning to reality, Bai Xiao did not have much murderous intention toward Zhang Ying.
Although this woman who planned and carried out the assassination in Beimen Square was a death--but Bai Xiao felt that she might as well save her life at this time, which would be of use in the future.
Without the intention of murder, the two of them are currently traveling with each other, so you might as well communicate.
Of course, Bai Xiao also considered the issue of animal species mentioned by Zhang Ying.
"I won't kill it, just take it for myself."
Zhang Ying was stunned when she heard this: "Sir, do you want to tame an animal? This... is indeed feasible in theory, but the beast king is extremely cunning and cannot even suppress the immortal species. How can we tame it?"
"I have my own means."
Zhang Ying was stunned and then realized that the other party was a hunter from the Snow Mountain Tribe, and he must have a unique secret to dealing with wild beasts!
Just thinking about this, she couldn't help but wonder: "Since you have been in the border county for a long time, why... didn't take action earlier?"
Bai Xiao said, "I didn't expect you to be unable to do even this little thing."
Zhang Ying's face suddenly turned dark and she never dared to talk to him again.
On the other hand, Bai Xiao had a little curiosity about Zhang Ying.
Resurrection from the dead is a miracle that only stays in legends in the tribe.
The witches can summon the spirits of the deceased ancestors, but they cannot really resurrect the ancestors. But the woman in front of her... should have been blown to pieces by the Spy Bureau, but now she is really living in front of her.
The physical body, magic weapon, magic consciousness... all the details are no different from those of ordinary humans!
How did this perfect resurrection from the dead be done?
Bai Xiao was puzzled by this question. With the blessing of the original poem's book list, although he could not say that he read a lot of books and had more knowledge than ordinary southerners, no theory could explain this perfect resurrection from the dead.
When encountering different problems, Bai Xiao usually asks for help from Qingyue, but unfortunately Qingyue has no time to take care of him at this time, so Bai Xiao couldn't help but miss another problem-solving master.
The man and Qingyue had completely different solutions. Compared to deducing from theory, she prefers to directly find the answer... In a sense, this coincides with Bai Xiao's original intention.
Thinking of that person, Bai Xiao couldn't help but remain silent again. I didn't see him for a while, but I really miss him a little. I don't know how she was doing on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. Are you happy? If you are happy... just keep happy!
While thinking about it, Bai Xiao suddenly had his ears moving, and a sound of shock from the earth came from a distance, and a huge convoy was coming from the north quickly.
Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, but did not dodge, but instead faced him.
That convoy smelled like the Yushan Army.
Sure enough, about ten minutes later, a piece of sand and dust rose from the horizon. A large sand boat rushed south surrounded by dozens of demonized chariots. A rusty flag was erected on the sand boat, which was the battle flag of the Yushan Army!
After seeing Bai Xiao and Zhang Ying, the convoy couldn't help but slow down. A chariot accelerated to leave the convoy and came to Bai Xiao first.
There were two familiar faces in the car. Gao Yan's two close servants dressed in white clothes, walked out of the car and bowed respectfully to Bai Xiao: "Thank you for helping the general realize his last wish."
Bai Xiao said: "I should thank him for helping me complete the hunt. He is an amazing soldier."
The eyes of the two close servants turned red again after a flash.
"Yes, he is indeed the most amazing soldier."
"It is really the greatest honor in our life to be able to serve the generals..."
However, before the two of them finished speaking, another person walked down the chariot.
He was also wearing white clothes, but his aura was as powerful as a mountain, revealing obvious extraordinaryness.
After seeing Bai Xiao, he bowed his hand slightly and briefly introduced himself: "I am Wu Tai, deputy general of Yushan Army."
Then he asked straight to the point: "Who is the person who murdered the general?"
While speaking, he glanced at Bai Xiao.
Zhang Ying's heart trembled and she couldn't help but hide behind Bai Xiao.
As a surrender who escaped from death, she was already confused and completely at a loss at this time, so she was looking for cover by instinct.
After He Yu's death, she joined a newcomer and had no idea how to deal with this situation.
In the eyes of all the people in the world, she was all dead people who were blown away by the Spy Bureau, but now she is resurrected from the dead... Isn't this equivalent to exposing the organization's biggest secret to the world?
Although He Yu didn't have time to explain many things to her, he at least said that as a member of the "roots", he was destined to be buried deep underground for a long time and could not see the light!
