Chapter 23 Furry Ears Shen Wei: It seems... it's going to grow a tail...
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Duan Zhou, who was sleeping on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. He slightly turned his head and looked towards the door, but did not move.
Chen Wei, who was lying on the bed, didn't seem to have any big reaction. Duan Zhou felt that the beast was either too scheming and pretending too well, or he was really fast asleep.
He thought about it and decided to give it a try. He deliberately raised his foot and gently kicked Shen Wei's bed board. After waking him up, he pretended not to wake up and continued to sleep.
Shen Wei was awakened from his sleep by a series of knocking sounds. It was not a pleasant feeling to be forcibly woken up from a dream, not to mention that he seemed a little grumpy when he woke up.
He suddenly threw back the quilt and sat on the bed feeling a little dizzy. After shaking his head, he immediately looked at Duan Zhou and saw that he hadn't woken up yet. He thought he had dreamed of someone knocking on the door. When he was about to lie down and continue sleeping, he suddenly heard a subtle sound in his ear that was different from the sound of the wind.
The hearing and sense of smell of spiritual beasts are always different from those of ordinary people. Chen Wei's face was slightly stern. He reached out and pushed Duan Zhou, whispering: "Brother Duan, wake up quickly, there seems to be an ambush outside."
Duan Zhou kept his eyes closed and refused to wake up no matter what Chen Wei did. Chen Wei had no choice but to go forward alone, lean against the door, reach out to open a little gap and look at the scene outside.
The moonlight was so bright in the courtyard that even a leaf on the ground could be seen clearly. Chen Wei's eyes lightly swept over the wall and he didn't notice anything unusual. Just as he was about to turn around, someone covered his mouth and nose. Before Chen Wei could say anything, he heard Duan Zhou's voice. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hold your breath. They put drugs here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wei immediately held his breath. He wanted to turn his head to look at Duan Zhou and ask him how he was doing, but he didn't expect Duan Zhou's chin to be pressed on Chen Wei's shoulder. The two were so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeat and breathing.
"Brother Duan, are you...are you drugged? Are you okay?" Shen Wei asked in a low voice.
"Not so good." Duan Zhou half-closed his eyes, his breathing sounded a little heavy, and he said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that they came prepared. I am drugged, so I am afraid I can't help you."
Shen Wei: ...
Who was it that said before going to bed that he would stay by his side for the whole month and not let anyone or any animal hurt him? How long has it been? Only two hours? It’s no longer effective?
Perhaps it was because the disappointment on Chen Wei's face was too obvious, Duan Zhou lowered his lips, revealing a cold look, and whispered: "If we fight, I'm afraid you are no match for me now, unless you transform into your original form, you will have a chance of survival."
"Well... that's not necessary. I am the leader of a sect after all..." Chen Wei felt a little guilty when he said this. He calculated how many fighting methods he remembered, and sadly found that he didn't know many. The original owner's memory was very scattered, and most of them could not be found.
"Sect Master Shen." Duan Zhou fixed his eyes on Shen Wei's face and said slowly, "Listen to me. If it comes to the last step, you go first and don't worry about me."
"But..." Chen Wei struggled for a moment and said, "I still hope you can be my guest."
Chen Wei considered the pros and cons in a short period of time. If he gave up Duan Zhou, who would be the guest official, who would resist the disaster of extermination of the clan in eleven months, and what about the black dragon?
Moreover, it seemed that he, Shen Wei, was unable to abandon anyone like that.
However, these words seemed to have a different meaning when Duan Zhou heard them. A rare smile flashed across his eyes, and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose. Even his tone became a little lighter, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You don't want to give up on me."
Chen Wei nodded, and while concentrating on paying attention to the outside, he said, "Brother Duan, stop talking. I'm listening to the noise outside."
The people outside seemed to have made arrangements. The first arrow came with a sound of breaking wind and almost brushed past Chen Wei's face. Duan Zhou's eyes darkened, with a hint of anger rolling in them.
The second and third arrows came one after another. Chen Wei protected Duan Zhou behind him while raising his sword to block them. The opponent was obviously anxious to close the net, probably because he lost several target spirit beasts at once and became a little anxious for a moment.
"What is the Lord City Lord's intention?" Chen Wei raised his voice and said loudly, "We are here to answer the call for help. I wonder what the Lord City Lord means? Is this the way the Lord City Lord's Mansion treats guests?"
"You and that evil beast are both spiritual beasts, and your whereabouts are strange, hiding your head and showing your tail. It is obvious that you are in the same group." A voice sounded outside, and Chen Wei immediately recognized that the voice was the voice of the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shouted with a stiff neck: "Fortunately, the city lord has a keen eye and saw through your disguise!"
"It seems that he has also taken a fancy to your demon pill." Duan Zhou leaned aside and said, "He is really greedy."
"You've taken a fancy to my demon pill..." Chen Wei thought, this guy is really picking on the weak, and he happened to be the one who picked the weak one.
"Soft persimmon" Chen Wei just wanted to sigh, but his swordsmanship was not slow. He wanted to escape from the back window with Duan Zhou, but he was surrounded from behind. It was really a dragnet that could not be set up in a day. I'm afraid that this trap was originally intended to be used on those cats and dogs, but the plan was exposed, and the cats and dogs escaped, and now they fell on Chen Wei.
Chen Wei originally wanted to have a good talk with the city lord, but now it seems there is no way.
"Brother Duan." Chen Wei turned around and looked at Duan Zhou, who seemed to be a little drowsy, and whispered, "Wait for me here, I will be back soon."
Duan Zhou's slightly raised lips were lowered again, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be weak and said, "Okay, go ahead."
He had encountered this kind of thing before. He said he was luring the enemy away, but in fact he just slipped away.
Duan Zhou sneered in his heart, this Chen Wei seemed no different from other cultivators, all of them were sweet-mouthed but treacherous.
Chen Wei had no time to notice the dragon's suspicious mood. He simply raised his sword and rushed out, holding some poison and weapons given by Bai Xiao and Qing Si.
And the magic trick in his hand also opened one, and it said -
Only by fighting to the death can you have a chance of survival.
Yes, at this time you have to risk your life, but since the trick says that there is a glimmer of hope, then it must be possible.
Chen Wei still believed in Wu Man's divination very much.
*
Inside the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
Wu Man was studying his tortoise shell. Next to him was a wolf that looked extremely ferocious. It said in a hoarse voice, "You said that you predicted that my relatives will come to live with me soon?"
"Yes, you can get ready." Wu Man said slowly, "One room will be enough."
"How many relatives?" The wolf showed a confused look, its tail hanging behind it. It stood on the stone and looked down at the turtle in the pond. "Your turtle shell is like this, how can you still count accurately?"
"Six." Wu Man said vaguely, "A bunch of furry creatures, but six of them are your relatives."
"Six relatives? One house?" The wolf snorted and said, "You need to replace your tortoise shell. It's really useless. You can't even calculate this."
After saying that, the wolf jumped off the stone, turned around and walked towards the woods, not taking Wu Man's words to heart at all.
After a long while, Wu Man finished his words slowly, saying: "Because if one house is demolished, six houses will also be demolished. If six are used, Xuanwu Peak, which is already poor, will become even poorer."
It shook its head. This group of people from Xuanwu Peak were too impatient and didn't even wait for it to finish its words. It touched its shell and became confident again.
"Alas, I seem to have forgotten the divination master's schedule today." Wu Man suddenly remembered this important matter, and after a pause, he said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, it's not an important matter."
With the strength of their sect leader, who can still act wildly under the nose of their Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?
There really is such a thing.
After Chen Wei rushed out with the sword in his hand, he relied on his memory of the sword skills to dodge the attacking arrows as much as possible. He became more and more adept at it, and then he lit the poisonous smoke given to him by Qing Si and threw it out.
The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down.
Duan Zhou, who was leaning against the bed, looked at the door frame calmly, listening to the sound getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared, but he still didn't see Chen Wei coming back. After a moment, he suddenly laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "You lied to me."
He spoke fiercely, with an unconcealable coldness in his eyes, but the disappointment in his tone could not be hidden.
Just when he thought he was abandoned by Chen Wei, the door suddenly opened and Shen Wei staggered in. The coldness in Duan Zhou's eyes had not yet subsided. He looked at Shen Wei, and Shen Wei subconsciously stood still.
When he looked again, he saw that Duan Zhou was still too weak to stand up. Chen Wei suddenly thought that he might have seen it wrong.
"Hurry up, they are poisoned and can't catch up for now." Chen Wei looked at the way these people were dressed and was afraid that the city lord had a backup plan, so he immediately said, "Let's go first. We will take revenge tomorrow when we have recovered from this vengeance."
"You didn't leave?" Duan Zhou asked.
"Where can I go?" Chen Wei helped Duan Zhou up and took him out of the backyard, saying, "I haven't taken you away yet, how can you leave by yourself?"
This is the life-saving talisman that he has been longing for, how could he bear to throw it away?
The gloomy and dark thoughts that Duan Zhou had just had disappeared immediately. He let Shen Wei help him up, leaning against him weakly, and whispered, "In fact, it would be easier for you to escape if you leave me here. Let me be caught by them like this. Anyway, you and I have only known each other for a short time, so why take risks for me?"
Duan Zhou didn't notice the sourness in his tone, and Chen Wei naturally didn't notice it either. He just walked and replied: "If I can't walk anymore, will you abandon me?"
Being asked this question, Duan Zhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."
"That's fine, isn't it?" Shen Wei smiled and said, "I don't know how to do it either."
Duan Zhou's heartbeat was a little too fast, and he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, but he soon found that Chen Wei's pace was getting slower and slower, and even his body temperature was getting higher and higher. Just when Duan Zhou realized something was wrong, Chen Wei's legs suddenly went weak and he almost fell down. Fortunately, Duan Zhou held him up.
"What's wrong with you?" Duan Zhou no longer looked weak and feeble.
Chen Wei shook his unclear head and looked down at his waist. Duan Zhou then discovered that there was a faint trace of blood on the other party's waist. He had smelled a little blood before and thought it was from those people. He didn't expect that Chen Wei was also injured.
He immediately helped Shen Wei to half squat down and check the injury on his waist. It was just a shallow wound, but there was a little green on it, a bit like toxin.
Duan Zhou's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"It's okay." Shen Wei could feel that this amount of poison was no problem for him, but he always felt that something was wrong with his body, as if...
Like...
It's going to grow a tail and ears.
So Duan Zhou watched anxiously as Chen Wei's furry ears and tail appeared. The touch was a bit unexpected, and he accidentally grabbed Shen Wei's tail with one hand.
For some reason, Duan Zhou suddenly remembered Chen Wei's words, "Don't you like furry things?"
What did Duan Zhou answer at that time? He seemed to answer "Yes, I don't like furry things".
Now he looked at Chen Wei with his furry ears and tail, and realized that he had said something wrong, and an expression of regret that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.
