Er Youâs pupils shrank.
As he was about to say something, suddenly the air whistled, shining, and something strange cut at him.
Er You felt danger instinctively and moved to one side with Hu Jiu in his arms.
The passage between the cells was quite narrow, and Ming Shuâs one big move directly split the neighboring cellâs door into pieces.
Er You stared at the weapon in Ming Shuâs hand fearfully.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This thing...
If it could be used to deal with other shapeshifters...
âYao Luo,â Er You uttered anxiously, âcalm down. Letâs negotiate.â
Ming Shu only smiled and rushed over with the machete.
âStop her!â
Er You ordered the shapeshifters behind him to come forward.
âStop her quickly!â
Er You rushed out of the cell with Hu Jiu, meanwhile the other shapeshifters poured in and trapped Ming Shu inside the cell.
âEr You... Cang Xiu, Cang Xiu is still in there.â Hu Jiu grabbed Er You by the shoulder and looked inside the cell. But it was hard to tell if the concern on her face was true or not.
Er You frowned instinctively when hearing Cang Xiuâs name.
That wolf...
Heâd better die in there.
So Er You just pretended he didnât hear what Hu Jiu said and continued retreating outside.
âLeader, whatâs going on?â
The clansmen outside saw Er You hurry out, so they gathered up. They were all very beautiful.
There was no need for Er You to explain. The cell was built in a cave, and right now a girl was walking slowly out of the cave exit.
The sunlight fell and shone brightly against the blade.
All eyes were on her.
It was Yao Luo...
They wouldnât mistake that face, but at this time Yao Luo seemed not to be Yao Luo.
What was that in her hand?
âTake her!â Er You ordered in a low voice.
The clansmen looked at each other. Since the leader had given such an order, they naturally dared not disobey, and they were ready to go up to capture Ming Shu.
âEr You, whatâs that thing in her hand?â Even though Hu Jiu was reborn, she didnât know what was in Ming Shuâs hand.
âI donât know.â Er You looked at the battle that had been started over there, strange emotions glistening in his eyes.
Hu Jiu frowned.
She also felt a little odd and worried.
But thinking that there were so many shapeshifters in the tribe, she didnât believe that Yao Luo would defeat all of them.
Yet apparently, Hu Jiu had underestimated Ming Shuâand her machete.
Defeating a flock of peacocks was just as easy as peeling radishes.
âEr You...â Hu Jiu seemed to be frightened and tried to seek protection from Er You.
Er You held Hu Jiu in his arms. âYao Luo, theyâre all your clansmen, how can you do that!â
Ming Shu replied to Er You with action.
She threw a shapeshifter back into its original form, then smiled. âJust like that.â
Er You: â...â
How did she come to be like this?
Did that thing in her hand give her confidence?
Hu Jiu obviously thought of this as well. She got closer to Er You and said, âEr You, we should do something to grab that thing out of her hand. Without that, we have nothing to fear.â
That thing was powerful.
Er You didnât refuse Hu Jiuâs suggestion.
With such weapons, their tribe would no longer have to endure threats from other tribes.
But how could he grab it?
Er You let Hu Jiu go and made her stand aside.
Hu Jiu pulled the animal skin that Er You gave to her over herself casually, covering the private parts.
She was still in pain and walked slowly to Er Youâs back, watching Er You walk over with squinted eyes.
Er You tipped the clansmen nearby, signaling for them to drag Ming Shu.
The peacock kind was not good at fighting. Even though Er You was the clan leader, he was also like that.
Several shapeshifters joined forces but still couldnât do anything to Ming Shu. Instead, they were all thrown onto the ground into their original forms, lying there helplessly.
Seeing the situation had gone wrong, Er You got ready to retreat.
Ming Shu smiled at him, then grabbed Er You by the arm and gave him an overarm throw. Er You was smashed to the floor and turned into his original shape all at once.
âYao Luo!â
Hu Jiuâs voice came from the side.
Some sparkling liquid fell in the sun like a shining diamond.
Ming Shu just looked up and watched, curling the corners of her mouth slightly.
It was the beast spirit herbâs juice. As long as she touched it, she would turn into her beast form and lose mobility.
Hu Jiu was sure that she had used enough to turn Ming Shu back into her beast form several times over.
The liquid, however, seemed to be blocked by something in midair, and all the liquid bounced back.
Hu Jiu couldnât dodge in time and was caught right under them.
A sense of anesthesia spread all over Hu Jiu.
Before the shock in her eyes could fully unfold, the person was gone in the spot.
There was only a snow-white fox left on the ground, lying there, limp and weak.
How could it be...
Hu Jiu moved her head a little.
Not far away, the girl still kept her head slightly up. She seemed to be enveloped in a translucent layer of air.
As the sunlight flowed with the air, the girl seemed to have also been dyed with a saintly glow.
She didnât like this female shapeshifter called Yao Luo.
Not only because she liked Er You.
It was because of her appearance.
âWhat sorcery have you used!â Hu Jiu supported her body and spoke with difficulty. âYao Luo, have you been controlled by a witcher spirit!â
She wasnât like this before.
She mustâve been under the control of a witcher spirit.
It must be like that...
What the shapeshifters feared most was witcher spirits, much like humans feared ghosts or evil spirits.
Whether they existed or not was another matter.
Anyway, they could just blame all kinds of strange things that they didnât understand on witcher spirits, and many shapeshifters had died of this crime.
Ming Shu lowered her eyes and looked at Hu Jiu. âIf witcher spirits have that power, they would rule the world.â
The girl had a smiling voice which was very pleasant to listen to.
Ming Shu walked up to tie Hu Jiu up. âRelax. Iâm not gonna kill you.â
I wonât kill my snacks coupon so casually.
âYao Luo, stop it. Leave A-Jiu alone. Stop it!â
Er You roared beside them.
He stared at Hu Jiu tightly, trying hard to get up.
Ming Shu threw the tied-up Hu Jiu to the ground, turned her head to look at Er You, then said gloomily, âBy the way, you murdered my father, so... Should I get my revenge conveniently?â
Er You was frozen still with shock.
She...
How could she know that?
âWhat are you talking about...â Er You denied it. âYour father was killed by the leopard tribe. We all know what happened in those days.â
âOh.â
Ming Shu looked at him with a faint smile, as if whatever he said was just a joke in her eyes.
She knew everything.
Er You calmed himself down. âI raised you for so many years and treated you like my own sister, this is how you repay me?â
âOr what, I should wait for you to send me to the neighboring shapeshifters and get ruined?â
Er Youâs averted his gaze. âThatâs for the tribe. Youâre also a member of the tribe and should be responsible for the safety of the tribe.â
He kept her in the first place because he was thinking of such a day.
âOkay then, Iâll take the snacks...â Ming Shu paused and changed the word calmly, âtake my responsibility.â
âYou...â
The girl spoke with a smile. âThanks for taking care of my peacock tribe for so many years. Iâm just taking my right of inheritance back, is that too much?â
If the Hostâs father werenât dead, it must have been the Host who inherited the peacock tribe.
This sounded reasonable.
Er You: â...â
