Mr. Shui smiled softly, the blue stripes on his face lit up one by one, and thick mist rose around him.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and a water ball the size of a water tank appeared out of thin air from the mist, and flew towards the tiger demon with a whistling sound. The tiger demon was ecstatic and rushed towards the water ball, opening his mouth wide, trying to use clean water to wash away the black pepper mushroom spores in his nasal cavity and mouth.
The black snake that curled up in a snake formation behind Chu Tian suddenly spit out its upper body forward. With a "puff", a black venom ball the size of a human head spurted out of the black snake's mouth and hit the clear water ball as fast as lightning.
The venom ball crashed into the clear water ball. The clear water ball was suddenly contaminated by the venom, and the entire body turned into a poisonous water ball that emitted a strong fishy smell like ink.
The tiger demon man screamed strangely, and seeing that the poisonous water ball was about to hit his head, he turned over awkwardly and fell headfirst to the ground, knocking a hole the size of a bucket into the ground. The tiger demon man spun his body, and with a gust of evil wind, he rolled repeatedly on the ground, and in a breath he rolled more than ten feet away.
The poisonous water ball exploded, and a large amount of poisonous water spilled onto the ground, burning the rocks and soil, making a hissing sound and emitting large amounts of white smoke.
Mr. Shui was shocked and said, "How poisonous! You, you are a demon!"
The black snake narrowed its eyes and looked at Master Shui coldly. There was only animal cruelty and viciousness in its cold and ruthless eyes.
Lu Yi suddenly took two steps forward. He looked at Chu Tian and said slowly, "My friend, if you don't want to look at the things in the bamboo tube, just give it to me and we will leave."
Chu Tian pulled out the thin bamboo tube that Que Jiu handed to him from his waist and shook it towards Lu Yi.
"You mean, this? Is this why you killed my brother?"
Lu Yi nodded, and the strong men wearing dragon-patterned masks behind him dispersed and surrounded Chu Tian and his group in an arc.
Lu Yi said calmly: "If your brother hadn't spied on my Lu family's secrets, he wouldn't have died. The fault is not ours."
Young Master Shui glanced at Lu Yi from the side. He lowered his hands, and two crystal blue ice balls the size of a human head condensed in his palms. He approached the black snake step by step.
The black snake curled up on the ground, its long tongue moving in and out continuously. The scales on his body spread out, and wisps of black air gushed out from under the scales, turning into a poisonous cloud that wrapped him up.
The tiger demon grabbed his neck with both hands and roared angrily on the ground: "Shui, Qingshui, are you all dead?"
Hu Dali wrapped the fur skirt around his waist again, clenched his fists and approached the tiger demon step by step. He tilted his head, snorted and glared, and roared: "My little brother is dead! What do you mean by clean water or not? One of you must die, no, ten, a hundred, except this girl, you all must die!"
With a loud roar, Hu Dali jumped out and fiercely entangled with the tiger demon.
The two of them were like two mad tigers, scratching and biting each other randomly. The blood on the tiger demon's face was getting more and more, and his roars were becoming more and more heart-wrenching, and the strength in the roars was becoming weaker and weaker.
The tiger demon girl was stunned. She let out a long roar towards the sky and commanded dozens of half-demon strong men to rush forward and help her big brother resist Tiger Dali's fierce attack.
Lu Yi looked at Hu Dali who was struggling with the tiger demon with a little fear, and then looked at the black snake who was confronting Mr. Shui.
He persuaded in a gentle tone: "My friend, for the death of your brother, our Lu family is willing to make a certain compensation. The premise is that you don't look at the things in the bamboo tube. As long as you hand the bamboo tube to me, we can separate peacefully and don't fight. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Chu Tian held the thin bamboo tube tightly and suddenly looked up at the sky.
Countless images flashed through my mind.
——At the intersection of three states, surrounded by eighteen linked waterways, deep in the mountains and old forests, San Gouzi, a thin man with big, bright eyes, was holding a bunch of golden cicadas with their wings removed, and said to Chu Tian with a smile: "Brother Tian, deep-frying them will make them the sweetest!"
——In the Minzhou Charity Hall, facing the joint bullying of other older children, the trembling San Gouzi, like A Gou and A Que, stood behind Chu Tian with sticks in hand, and fought with those older children. A little blood splattered, and San Gouzi jumped out to help Chu Tian block the stick that was hitting the back of his head.
——In the strict and terrifying training camp of Dayu Temple, San Gouzi, who had grown a lot taller and was tall but still thin, hung his head and murmured weakly to Chu Tian: "Brother Tian, am I really a softie? But I really don't dare to draw my sword and fight with others! You, Brother Gou and Brother Que dare to fight and kill, and you are the wolves' choice. I, I, I will just be a detective and gather intelligence."
——The instructor of Dayu Temple, who always had a dark face and no expression, took the roster of the training camp and called out one name after another. Chu Tian walked out of the queue silently and stood in the front of the wolf pack; after a long time, San Gouzi and a dozen other companions who also came from the deep mountains and old forests, tremblingly walked into the team of sparrows.
——Two years ago, Chu Tian met San Gouzi for the last time. He was already a small leader of a certain chamber of commerce in Mangzhou. He followed a large group of people through the Qizhou Commercial Cargo Wharf and went to the depths of the Shiwan Wilderness to purchase the specialty mountain products of those wild tribes. Chu Tian stood on the pier and looked at San Gouzi from a distance. San Gouzi turned around and smiled at Chu Tian, then disappeared into the crowd.
"Be harmonious? Best of both worlds?" Chu Tian's wandering eyes regained their spirits, and he suddenly laughed, and then his laughter became louder and louder. Gradually, his laughter was mixed with a hint of hysteria, just like a madman laughing wildly.
Pain, indescribable pain, makes the whole body twitch, and even the soul seems to be torn apart.
In the deep mountains and old forests, there are brothers who have been crawling in caves, digging bird nests, chasing chickens and dogs, and playing mischief together since they were old enough to crawl and roll around; there are brothers who left the deep mountains and old forests together, entered the charity hall, and entered the training camp of Dayu Temple, where they shed blood and sweat; there are brothers who, although not directly related by blood, have a relationship that is even closer than that of real brothers!
"Another one died!" The laughter stopped abruptly, Chu Tian regained his composure, and looked at Lu Yi with eyes as clear as water.
"Back then, we had a total of 248 brothers, but now there are only more than 100 of us!" Chu Tian's fingers, which were burned to pieces, suddenly exerted force, crushed the bamboo tube, and took out a palm-sized piece of thin silk from it.
"Young Master Lu didn't give the order to attack because he saw that we have two top-grade masters here and was afraid that we would escape with the news, right?" Chu Tian looked at Lu Yi with a smile: "So, I will definitely read the news that San Gouzi exchanged his life for."
Chu Tian lowered his head and read clearly the few short lines of words on the thin silk.
Lu Yi let out a long sigh, and suddenly rushed forward. In his sleeves, two black ropes as thick as thumbs were tied into circles of large and small rope loops, which formed a series of turbulent whirlwinds and hit Chu Tian, Agou, Aque and the others.
