in the edge

Chapter 48 Who is the hunter and who is the prey

On the tower of Ji Town, a man named He Xiqing looked into the distance.

If an ordinary person came over, he might not be able to see anything, but He Xiqing's falcon-like eyes could clearly see the light of fire in the distance at this moment.

"really."

After punching the wall beside him, He Xiqing turned to look at the prairie soldier behind him.

"Go on, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order."

"This……"

The grassland soldier hesitated, and for a moment he didn't even know whether he should pass on this order.

After all, the order not to leave the city seemed to everyone to be an act of cowardice.

As warriors tempered in the cold wind of Mobei, as proud eagles soaring in the sky, how could they be timid in fighting?
"This is an order! It is to keep you alive!"

He kicked the grassland soldier with both feet, and He Xiqing drove the messenger directly off the city.

But soon, the nine-foot-tall Murshu climbed onto the tower.

"Brother, brothers all have some opinions."

Moving closer to He Xiqing, Murshu lowered his voice.

"I said before that the knife would not be sealed for three days, but now it's only one day, and let the brothers retreat into the city, isn't it a bit..."

Mu Ershu didn't say the next words, but the expression on his face said everything.

It is clearly a great victory, but suddenly one sentence is about to turn into a stick, what is this?
Could it be said that their entire former army was surrounded by just one person in the city?

"Otherwise? Let you go out to die?"

He Xiqing closed his eyes, but his brows were still furrowed.

When he saw that little flame, he had already confirmed his previous guess that the monster who killed his own brother in the distance had indeed stepped into his current level—no, this could not even be called The monster, just because he has clearly understood that the other party has not lost his mind because of the blood evil spirit.

The monster that has lost its mind only knows how to kill everything in front of it indiscriminately, and will only fight to the end, which is actually easier to deal with.

But as a human being...

People will avoid fighting and they will also run away.

This is the most troublesome place.

Although there is an old saying in Nanchen that when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, but in fact, on the grassland, when one beast encounters another beast, it will deliberately avoid it - just because even the beast knows that, They both have the ability to truly kill each other, so a fight like this is meaningless, it would be better not to fight at all.

But now, what He Xiqing encountered was this embarrassing situation.

The murderer who killed his younger brother has indeed stepped into his current level, and at the same time, he is obviously aware of the deadly enmity between each other - this can be seen from the fact that the other party came all the way from Yangjiabao to Ji Town. It was obviously aimed at him.

But it was this enemy who had a life-and-death enmity with him, but he had no intention of fighting for his life at all.

The other party killed many soldiers through a surprise attack, and it was obvious to the naked eye that the enemy was planning to kill more soldiers.

If it were someone else, he might just think that he was fighting, looking for an opportunity to fight him.

But for He Xiqing who has already stepped into this level, this has another meaning.

"He's hunting, and he's going to kill you to get stronger."

Taking a deep breath, He Xiqing clenched his fists.

Just like what they did to the Jizhou Dudu Mansion.

At the cost of the lives of the residents of Ji Town, he gathered enough bloody aura for the soldiers and himself, and then smashed the city with a powerful posture, killing Liu Yanran, the commander of the army of Ji Town... Maybe outsiders will see it. Come on, this is a well-timed attack, but only He Xiqing knows that the core of this set of tactics lies in the evil spirit of blood itself.

Just like rolling a snowball in the ice and snow, the snowball will get bigger and bigger.

But now this strategy is being used by others on him.

The murderer who killed his own brother was also becoming stronger by killing his soldiers.And unlike his original fighting style, the opponent was alone - indeed, if he were alone, he would not be able to kill many people at one time, but if the opponent was determined to escape, these prairie warriors would not be able to catch up.

It's like a blood-sucking mosquito, or like a fly that can't be driven away no matter how hard you try.

But He Xiqing prefers to regard this enemy as a wolf in the wilderness.

The wild wolf is a very patient animal. It will follow its prey all the way, even if it follows a few hills, until the prey loses its strength and is drained of its last drop of blood.

"So I asked you all to come back to the city, because the only one who can fight him right now is me."

Having said this, He Xiqing opened his eyes.

"With the protection of the city wall, he will hesitate when he doesn't know where I am, or in the words of the southerners, it's called a rat-defying weapon... He doesn't want to confront me head-on right now, so he won't take the initiative to attack the city. As long as With the protection of the city wall, you will be safe.”

"Brother, you..."

The tower-like Muershu felt ashamed and indignant for a while.

As a warrior, he would never be timid to fight. At this moment, Muershu wanted to go out so much, to kill that life-and-death enemy with his own hands—but he couldn't do it.One must know that even He Xiqing, who is omnipotent, values ​​that monster so much at this moment. If he goes out, can he really beat it?

If you can't defeat it, you will be killed, which will make the monster's blood evil power more and more powerful.But if he doesn't fight, how can he, as a soldier, back down?
Before climbing the tower, Muershu had a splitting headache because of this incident.

But now, He Xiqing gave him the third answer.

He Xiqing chose to protect them, the weak ones who couldn't fight the monster.

"Big brother, big brother..."

Mu Ershu couldn't help crying bitterly.

It was obviously the love and care from this eldest brother, but for Murshu at this moment, it made him more sad than killing him.

After all, accepting protection means admitting one's own weakness.

Let a soldier admit his weakness, it is better to cut him into pieces!

"It's okay, it's normal."

He Xiqing patted Muershu's shoulder lightly.

"It's not that I was weaker when I was kicked out by the tribe, it's just that no one could protect me at that time, and I had my younger brother with me, so I had to go all out by myself... Admitting that I'm weak is not a bad thing sometimes, After all, only when you know your own weakness can you move towards real strength."

"Yes, brother."

Wiping away tears, Mu Ershu clenched his teeth.

That's right, just like the elder brother said, although he now understands how weak he is when facing the real strong.

But it was because of this that the desire to become stronger in his heart was extremely strong at this moment.

You must become stronger, you must become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you protect this big brother.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."

Seeing that Mu'ershu had regained his firmness, He Xiqing also smiled.

"As long as you all stay in the city, the monster can't kill anyone, and he won't have the chance to continue to grow stronger. Then I will seize the opportunity to kill the monster with a knife, and this matter will be over."

"Don't worry, big brother, none of us will come out...wait?"

Murshu was suddenly startled when he remembered something.

"Brother, do you still remember when the Qingyang Department sent troops?"

"The Qingyang Department said at the time that it would be three days later, but now it has been one day...Damn it!"

Looking at the direction of the grassland in the distance, He Xiqing's face turned ashen.

Indeed, if he led the soldiers under his command to defend the city, the monster would be wary of attacking and killing people.

But can't the soldiers of the Qingyang Department be killed?
