Chapter 218 - Counterattack

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing and the Blood Vine, who were disguised as a bear and a werewolf, rushed into the clouds in the mountains in a daze with red faces. One of them was holding a wine bottle in his hand. It was obvious that he was drunk and had run out of nowhere. The two of them were completely unguarded as they approached Dongming Mountain. They walked on the path and sang a song.

“My patriarch, you died so tragically.”

The two of them were drunk and singing a song that was half sad and half happy. It sounded funny. The melodious tune and these tragic lyrics were sung by the two of them, making the patrol team members feel sick of it.

“These two fellows sing really badly. Hurry up and kill them. In any case, these two clans are already useless now. The life and death of these people are not important at all.”

“Captain, we’re all ready. We’re just waiting for your order when to attack.”

The members of the patrol team stood on both sides in the fog and stared fixedly at Li Yuanqing and the Blood Vine. They were only a meter away from each other, but the two of them seemed to be unable to sense their existence at all. They continued to walk forward happily while singing a song.

At this moment, the patrol captain ordered, and a sharp blade pierced out of the fog. The blade went straight for the black bear’s face. At the same time, the other patrol team members took out strange weapons and attacked the two of them from all directions.

Just as the two of them were about to be stabbed into sieves, the two of them actually sat on the ground with a plop.

The captain felt like his brain had short-circuited for a moment. He could not stop the knife in his hand and stabbed forward. He had clearly watched as the two of them sat down slowly. With his reaction speed, he should have been able to react. He seemed to have suddenly lost his mind just now.

The captain had a large saber in front of him, while his subordinates’ weapons collided from all directions. All of a sudden, everyone collided with each other and wailed.

“Ouch, oh my god.”

“My butt is about to explode.”

“Why were you so ruthless?”

“Whose saber was that just now? Just cut us to death!”

“What nonsense are you talking about? That’s the captain’s saber.”

The patrol captain’s face was ashen. At this moment, the two of them finally saw the patrol team appear in front of them.

The black bear’s face was red. He stood up unsteadily and supported his brother for a long time before finally getting up. He looked at the patrol team beside him in confusion and asked in confusion, “What are you doing? Why are you sitting on the road for no reason? I think you’re here to patrol, right? Why don’t you stand guard?”

When the captain heard this, he felt his face turn even redder. His attack that he had been accumulating strength for just now had completely missed. His scalp was numb from these two bastards. However, these two fellows were clearly drunk and swaying. That was why he had misjudged their location.

However, he couldn’t say that. The captain pondered for a moment and looked at the black bear. “Brother, this path has already been sealed. Why are the two of you here?”

Li Yuanqing, who had transformed into a big black bear, swung his huge palm and muttered, “Don’t mention it. I was originally a guard beside our lord. I happened to accept our lord’s mission that day and went out to carry out some missions. Who would have thought that our lord would never return after I left?”

The werewolf sitting on the ground also hugged his head and cried. “Me too. Our lord died so miserably.”

The captain continued to ask, “I don’t care what you do. Why did you just come back from the outside? Didn’t we call you back early and ask you to rush here? Why are you two only here now?”

The big black bear replied, “You don’t know. After the two of us learned of our lords’ deaths, we secretly ran to a human city and wanted to kill the human City Lord!”

“Assassinate the City Lord of the humans?”

“That’s right. Of course we’re going to assassinate her.” The big black bear was still spitting bubbles out of his mouth and his mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol. “I was thinking that these humans actually killed our lord. So I’m going to kill their City Lord.”

The other patrolling little demons found this story quite interesting. All of them put their weapons aside and sat on the ground. They looked up at the big black bear and waited for him to continue.

“What happens next? The two of you are so bold to run into a human city to assassinate their City Lord and come back alive. You’re really lucky.”

“I think the two of you are just bragging. The City Lord is alive and well now. Where did you go?”

“Don’t you understand? The two of them are already drunk to this extent. Aren’t they just greedy for the wine brewed by others? It’s useless to say so much.”

“Hahaha!”

This group of little demons began to tease the big black bear. For a moment, the scene was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The big black bear’s face was red as he looked at them and said indignantly, “What nonsense are you talking about? We brothers almost succeeded. But the City Lord was really lucky. She escaped. Otherwise, she would already be a dead man!”

The others naturally did not believe the big bear’s words.

“Stop bragging. It’s already good enough that the two of you can approach her City Lord Manor. Even the demons in Ping City are no longer allowed to approach the inner city. They all live in the outer city. What ability do the two of you have?”

“Of course we can get close if we have the ability.” The big bear patted his stomach and said, “That day, Hu Jiujiu, that woman, stood on a platform in the market in the outer city and spoke. The two of us brothers were already prepared with weapons in our hands. We wanted to stab Hu Jiujiu to death on the platform and avenge our boss!”

There was indeed such a thing. In order to appease the demons in the outer city, Hu Jiujiu had gone to several places.

Li Yuanqing knew this very well. With a little adaptation, it became such a story. The others were engrossed in the story.

At this moment, the black bear’s small eyes suddenly turned to his side. Everyone glanced at him. Their eyes clearly revealed their shrewdness. However, that shrewd expression only flashed across his face for a moment before he returned to his charmingly naive appearance.

He slapped his thigh and scolded, “But who knew that there would be a passing lizard that day. It didn’t even put away its tail when it walked. It swayed and hit my butt, pushing me to the front of the stage and making everyone look at me. I couldn’t do anything at all.”

Seeing the big black bear’s aggrieved expression, the others pounded their chests and said, “What are you afraid of? You’re already prepared to go. Can’t you just go up and kill Hu Jiujiu?”

“That’s right. I heard that Hu Jiujiu is just a woman. Her strength is only average. You already have such a chance, yet you’re still afraid. You’re clearly timid. Look at the two of you. As if you guys could do anything. Don’t say so many useless things.”

Faced with everyone’s sarcasm, the big black bear’s face alternated between red and white. “How can you humiliate my innocence like this? I clearly expressed my determination to go, but Hu Jiujiu only took a glance at me and I forgot what I should do. I was really muddle-headed.”

“Don’t embarrass yourself.” The werewolf sitting on the ground said to him angrily.

The others naturally turned their gazes to the werewolf.

“What about you? If he has such a reason, what about you? Aren’t you hiding well? Why didn’t you do anything?”

“Don’t tell me you have the same reason as him?”

Faced with everyone’s questioning, the werewolf said very righteously, “Originally, the two of us had planned to attack together, but he suddenly froze there. How can I attack?”

The captain of the patrol team picked up his weapon again, and his aura gradually stabilized. After the attack just now failed, the aura in his body was messed up. After a short rest, his condition finally stabilized. No matter what these two fellows did, neither of them should be living here now.

The captain unknowingly circled behind the big black bear, and the knife in his hand was slowly filled with spiritual energy.

While everyone’s gaze was on the werewolf, the big black bear stretched out its claws and swayed left and right, as if it was scratching an itch. It was unknown what had grown on its back.

“Brother, look at what’s on my back. Why does it feel especially itchy?”

The big black bear straightened its broad back and turned to the captain’s face. The captain was smug and thought to himself that he had fallen into his trap. However, Li Yuanqing also deliberately blocked this captain with his wide body, isolating him from everyone’s line of sight.

Li Yuanqing’s back kept leaning towards the captain’s face as he retreated step by step. He even asked over and over again, “Brother, did you see that? What exactly is my back? Do I have lice? Or something? I haven’t showered for a few days. Have you found it? Why don’t I feel anything?”

“Soon, soon!” As the captain spoke, he slowly raised the saber in his hand and suddenly slashed down.

However, his saber sank into the back of the big black bear like a clay ox entering the sea. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene in front of him. If he didn’t know better, he would have thought there was mud in front of him.

He watched as his long saber sank into the back of the big black bear bit by bit, but he was helpless. He opened his mouth to shout, but in the next second, the scene in front of him suddenly changed into a wide grassland.

Next, blood red vines had already covered his face, covering his mouth and nose. He had become a statue in this domain.

The members of the patrol team outside had yet to discover that their captain had already disappeared. Li Yuanqing’s broad shoulders were still blocking the back tightly. Those people were still chasing after the werewolf and asking questions.

“That’s why you’re a coward. You’ve already found such a good position, but you don’t dare to make a move. You’re about the same as this black bear. The two of you are both terrified.”

“I mean, you’re already so timid, yet you still went to assassinate the City Lord. I think the two of you are really dreaming.”

The werewolf said unhappily, “Then why don’t you dare to go? Ping City is there, and their City Lord Hu Jiujiu is in the City Lord Manor. Why don’t you go and assassinate her?”

“Don’t look for us. The one who was killed wasn’t our lord. Our lord is still alive and well. We don’t have such deep hatred.”

This team was formed by the Giant Elephant Clan and the Red Lion Clan.

Just as everyone was chatting, someone suddenly realized that he had not heard his captain for a long time. He looked at the back of the black bear. “Captain, why did you tickle him for so long? You haven’t spoken for a long time. What happened?”

No one answered him. The big black bear’s face was red, and he leaned back as if he was asleep.

“Captain, are you okay?” He stood up slowly and looked over. “I say, you’re too heavy. You’re pressing our captain down. Get up and move.”

He went up and tried to pry open the black bear’s body, but no matter how hard he tried, the black bear was like a stone mountain. It was so heavy that he could not lift it.

The others also realized that something was wrong and they became more vigilant as they looked at the big bear.

“It’s over. He’s asleep. The captain seems to be under him. What should we do? Hurry up and save the captain.”

“What’s going on? The captain is so powerful. How can he be suppressed by such a guy?”

“Who knows? Let’s hurry up and do it.”

As they spoke, they organized themselves and split up beside the big black bear, trying their best to pull his body up. However, just as they used all their strength to move the big black bear, the big black bear’s eyes suddenly opened and a crack appeared on its face.

The crack split open to the end, and the black bear was left with only its skin. A muscular young man jumped out. Before these people could react, the huge bear skin in their hands turned into a sack and wrapped around the members of the patrol team from the inside out.
