Chapter 555.

The air briefly froze for a few breaths.

It was then that Mei shook her head:

“But is it useful? People are not poisonous insects, and we are not in a state where we cannot survive without devouring each other.

“Even if someone can kill all of the Hundred Races’ experts all by themselves.

“There is also no possibility of becoming a ‘compulsion’, right?

“It’s like …… you.

“With your ability, if you want to kill all the Hundred Races, I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time.

“You, then, are the compulsion of this Hundred Races?”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Ran nodded:

“There are still some issues in here that my father hasn’t figured out.

“This idea, too, is too heavenly and light.

“It’s just that I always feel that this Hundred Clans Assembly of the Flute Clan is not so simple ……”

Even if the truth of the matter wasn’t as horrifying as Jiang Ran thought, the Flute Clan’s sudden invitation to the Hundred Clans to participate in the event was indeed some oddities hidden amongst them.

“The Flute Clan invited the Hundred Clans to participate in the event, and took out a big gift, saying that those who participate in the event will be distributed evenly.

“Indeed, it seems that they intend for us to kill each other.

“Otherwise, the flute clan only need to state, shall not kill each other …… need to maintain the ban on good.

“Now this situation, it’s not like their past style.”

A Mei frowned in thought, just thinking about it, although it felt odd, but could not think of the key.

Jiang Ran then asked:

“Ban? What ban are you talking about?”

“One of the laws of this mountain ……”

A Mei didn’t hide it:

“It was issued by the Flute Clan since the time the ancestors of the Hundred Clans settled here.

“It is an iron rule for us to follow.

“That is, if there is any conflict between us, we can fight each other.

“but we must not fight more than one another.

“Even if we want to make enemies, we can only have one opponent at a time.

“Otherwise, the Flute Clan will intercede.

“And if the mediation is not accepted, the Flute Clan will step in to erase the members of the Hundred Clans who do not accept it, directly from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

“I once heard Grandma say that initially, there were indeed many members of the Hundred Races who were not convinced.

“However, the Flute Clan told everyone among the Hundred Clans with the blood that filled the mountain, and the parasites that covered the sky.

“If you do not abide by the laws of this mountain, you will lose the very foundation of your foothold in this mountain.

“This is also the main reason why the Flute Clan has such great prestige amongst my Hundred Clans.”

The main reason is that they can’t be beaten.

Jiang Ran understood ……

Just understanding this still didn’t seem to be enough.

He glanced at A Mei:

“This father asked you a question ……”

“You say.”

“The Hundred Races may not really have a hundred clans, nor may there be only a hundred clans.

“Since the Descendant Clan has exterminated quite a few clans over the years, how many Hundred Clans are left nowadays?”

“The Hundred Races have been called for a long time, and people have long since stopped caring about the exact number.

“However, whenever a clan is destroyed, there will be a new clan rising, counting and counting, it seems like it has never really decreased ……”

When Ah Mei said this, she couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Ran:

“You are thinking of something?”

Jiang Ran nodded, but then shook his head:

“Thought of something, but couldn’t be sure.”

“Then what things did you think of?”

Ah Mei asked after him.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“If you can’t be sure, why say it?”

“……”

Ah Mei gritted her teeth, she hated this kind of half-talking.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I can’t beat you, I’d have to beat the truth out of you.

“What is Miss A Mei muttering in her mind?”

Jiang Ran suddenly spoke.

Ah Mei was startled and hurriedly shook her head:

“No no, what can I say in my heart?”

“It always feels like, you’re abusing this father in your heart ……”

Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t dare don’t dare.”

“If you don’t dare, then it’s good, let’s go.”

This night’s events, although it was only a small episode, it was also considered a prologue.

A prelude to kicking off the Hundred Races Blood War.

After this night, the next day on the road, the road would always encounter some of the hundred races killing each other.

Fortunately, Jiang Ran’s inner strength was divine, so he could avoid it in advance.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to avoid killing each other.

But even so, between the mountains and the grass, from time to time you can see a broken, miserable corpse, still call people’s hearts a little depressing.

The day passed in such a light.

In the evening, the crowd encountered an interesting thing.

There was actually a house in this mountain.

The house was not small and circled a small courtyard.

The smell of meat came out from the small courtyard, and the light was bright and dim, passing out a long way between the dark woods.

It was just that the crowd could not help but be a bit dismayed by this.

Running around this day, they had already seen how outrageous the frequency of the hundred races killing each other really was.

What kind of person would build a small courtyard in such a place?

“Could it be someone from the …… Flute Clan?”

Tang Yuyi spoke softly, looking toward Jiang Ran.

A Mei, on the other hand, nodded her head repeatedly:

“What you said makes the most sense, other than the Flute Clan, what kind of person would be able to build such a courtyard out in such a place?

“Isn’t this a bright light for the other races? So as to tell them that there are people here to kill?”

As she said this, she looked at Jiang Ran:

“However, even if it’s the Descendant Clan’s courtyard, it’s best if we don’t go in.

“Those who are pursued and desperate may come here to seek refuge, thus attracting pursuers and exposing our whereabouts.

“Since you want to hide your identity and sneak into the Flute Clan, it’s not good for you to perform martial arts in front of the Flute Clan.

“Therefore, the best way is to not go forward …… Hey!!!”

She was still in the middle of a long speech when she realized that Jiang Ran had already stepped out from his hiding place and rushed in the direction of the small courtyard.

A Mei opened her mouth, cursing in her heart how this brat didn’t listen to any words at all.

Then she realized that Poetry and Painting and the others had also followed behind Jiang Ran.

A Mei was even more speechless …… Originally thought that Poetic Painting Yi and the others, as women, would be able to understand the big body and not be the same as this stinky dead man.

As a result, this is still singing on the husband and wife?

It is really the reverse of the Big Dipper.

However, since A Mei promised Jiang Ran that she would take him to the Flute Clan, and at this time, there were still two days away from the Flute Clan, she couldn’t just let it go.

She could only blacken her face and bring her own people to follow.

The small courtyard is very delicate, the ground is covered with fine and broken stones, dividing the path.

On both sides of the outer fence, it was filled with flowers and plants, swaying more than just with the wind.

Even the path in front of the fence, both sides are shaded with flowers and plants.

It looks pleasing to the eye ……

Just looking at the swaying flowers and grasses, Jiang Ran’s expression was a bit odd.

They sway non-stop, but today …… there is no wind ah.

“Is this another means among the Hundred Races? Or is it the flute clan’s skill?”

Jiang Ran was speculating in his mind when he heard a voice from the courtyard:

“A guest has arrived ah, come come come, inside please.

“Just now in the mountains happened to hit a roe deer, now stewed meat aroma overflowing, guests want to eat a bowl?”

Between words, a big fat man came out of the room.

Big belly, hanging an apron around his neck, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, cold light, smiling face.

Five chubby fingers were cited, signaling for Jiang Ran and the others to be seated.

The courtyard was indeed furnished with tables and chairs, as if they were ready to receive guests.

Jiang Ran smiled:

“So it’s a small store, but I wonder how much silver is needed for this bowl of meat soup?”

“Where is this coming from? In the mountains, we always barter, today this bowl of meat soup, we will borrow a person’s head to pay back.

“One head for one bowl of soup, the price is fair, and it’s all fair and square.”

The big fat man said while laughing, just looking at Jiang Ran’s body with no body, the laugh became more and more meaningful:

“But I don’t know, how do a few guests plan to pay the bill?”

“It seems that this meat soup, today is not drinkable.”

Jiang Ran smiled:

“That being the case, then sitting is also exempt.

“We’ll just take our leave.”

“Eh eh eh?”

The big fat man hurriedly took two steps forward and said with a smile:

“A sale is not a good thing, why are you in such a hurry to leave.

“You and stay for a while, maybe after a while, you’ll have the money to pay the bill.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Ran gave this fatty a thoughtful look, then nodded:

“Good, it just so happens that after traveling this long distance, I’m also a bit tired.

“Let’s take a rest here.”

Poetic, Frightened Frost, Frightened Snow Rapunzel naturally took Jiang Ran’s place as her honor, and whatever he said was what he said.

Although this place was obviously problematic, with Jiang Ran around, any problems could be left out of the equation.

Although A Mei wanted to leave this place of wrongdoing earlier.

But the problem was that Jiang Ran had already stepped out, and since a woman of the Yao tribe could not go back on her word, she had no choice but to follow along and sit down.

Big Fatty directly treated them as air.

Didn’t pay any attention to them at all.

Knowing that they didn’t have heads to pay the bill, they went back to continue stewing meat and soup.

Time did not last long, and soon someone showed up outside the small courtyard.

Only this person was not in a good condition, covered in blood, one arm was gone, and his empty sleeves swayed in the wind.

He stood outside the courtyard and said in a dry voice:

“Boat Clan disciple, Fan Cheng, is being hunted down and killed, they defied the ban and wantonly brutalized the Hundred Clan disciples, I implore the Flute Clan seniors to take refuge!”

As the words were spoken, another sound of breaking wind sounded.

Several odd figures were seen appearing behind Fan Cheng.

It looked like they were all young men with similar age differences.

Moreover, looking at the way they were dressed, they were similar to Van Cheng.

It seemed that they were from the same clan.

It was just that their bodies were stiff and their eyes were empty, and after seeing Van Cheng, they thought nothing of it and waved their hands at the same time.

Van Cheng was already seriously injured, only one arm was left, barely blocked a move, the whole person gave a beating and fell directly into the courtyard.

Just heard a voice laugh:

“Good boy, you are quite capable of running.

“Just that you run in such a hurry, have you not forgotten …… that you still have an arm that you forgot to bring?”

With the sound of the words, a figure wrapped in a body full of residual light, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in this fenced yard.

He was holding a broken arm in his hand.

Obviously it was precisely owned by Van Cheng.

When Van Cheng saw this arm, then his face changed greatly:

“No …… don’t come over ……”

Words to this point, heard the buzzing sound, a cluster of black shadows from the cuffs of the Van City out of the cuffs.

This buzzing sound was really too familiar.

This is a mosquito ah.

Jiang Ran originally wanted to properly establish his persona as a bystander, but at this moment, he still couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

The Hundred Races are really not afraid of meat and vegetables, mosquitoes can be used to manipulate?

Moreover, look at this Van City to get out of the mosquito, one by one all fat and strong, a big flower, a look is the kind of bite, can get big bags itch for half a month.

Jiang Ran subconsciously scratched the corners of his mouth …… to this Van City to kill.

The Hundred Races means clever, since the mosquito as the core, then this mosquito winter is bound to not be frozen to death.

The mosquitoes …… that are able to run rampant in the winter this boat tribe should die ah.

Saying late and fast, these mosquitoes swarmed towards the person holding the broken arm to pounce.

But there are two figures that are faster than that mosquito.

It is the two Van City’s clan, a step has blocked in front of that person.

Allowing the mosquitoes to pounce on their bodies, wrapping them into a ball.

The belly of one mosquito bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye, while the two people who were bitten by the mosquitoes did not react at all.

Right at this moment, the man crossed over these two people and came directly to Fan Cheng’s heel:

“Giving you an arm and you still don’t want it? Come, come, come, I’ll connect it for you!”

As he said that, he sent that arm towards Van Cheng.

Only to see that where the broken arm was, a thin line as if it was a tentacle stretched out, writhing in a rather stiff manner.

One’s scalp went numb at the sight.

“It’s an iron thread worm!”

A Mei frowned:

“He’s a member of the Bedou Clan ……The Iron Thread Worm is non-toxic, but once attached to it, it will drill into the brain along the meridians, eating away at the brain while using it to take control of the opponent’s body ……”

Jiang Ran suddenly realized, and said how this nematode sounded so familiar.

Isn’t this the tenant of the praying mantis?

No wonder Fan Cheng was so fearful ……

Seeing that this arm was about to be sent to Van Cheng’s front, it was too late for Van Cheng to maneuver the mosquito back to protect himself again.

At this moment, the sound of whistling sounded.

I saw a flash of silver light, a kitchen knife flying out of the house in a whirlwind, ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding on the wire worm.

The two touched, followed by the sound of gold and iron.

Even sparks appeared.

That spread out the iron thread insect, but was chopped two or three, the chopper was popped flying, fell outside the door of the room.

Just after this shock, that person of the Do Not Clan also took a step back, feeling his arm vaguely numb.

Looking up at the house, his expression was stunned:

“The people in the house …… come out!!!”

Fan Cheng escaped from death and was suddenly energized:

“Do not art you dare to kill someone in the house of the flute clan seniors? This kind of reckless disregard for the prohibition, do you not think that the Flute Clan can tolerate it?”

“Flute clan ……”

The expression of the person named Bedou Shu changed, let out a dry laugh, and smoothly hid that arm in his sleeve, clasped his fists and said:

“I did not know that this is the residence of the senior of the Flute Clan, it is my mistake.

“Please don’t blame senior.”

The big fat man’s footsteps came out two steps behind, first picking up his kitchen knife from the ground.

Looking at the chipped blade on it, he then waved his hand:

“Wrong, wrong, wrong, I’m not a flute clan.

“Just a person who runs a small store in this mountain, doing a small business.

“If you are here, you should take a rest, don’t fight and kill, by the way, I just shot a roe deer, do you want to have a bowl of meat soup?

“Hundred thousand mountains, daytime humidity, nighttime cold, drink a bowl of meat soup to warm up how?

“There is no need to ask for more …… just a human head for a bowl of meat soup.”

“…… Not the Flute Clan?”

Bedou Shu and that Van Cheng were both stunned, and once again, the color of despair appeared on Van Cheng’s face.

This thought that those who were able to reside here were bound to be people of the Flute Clan, but it turned out that this fatty was not?

Bedou Shu, on the other hand, smiled:

“I see… …… Swineherd soup? It all sounds good …… just, you want to let me use a human head to exchange?

“Is it …… possible that you are looking for death?”

“Wrong again.”

Big Fatty said with a big smile:

“Not with your head, but with someone else’s. I see that you guys fight and kill every day, and a lot of corpses have been made, so what can you do if you share your heads?

“Well, these few Boat Clan boys around you, one person can be exchanged for a bowl of soup!

“How? This deal is a good deal?”

Bedou Shu’s eyes flickered and he suddenly smiled:

“Also good …… that is, then I will exchange two bowls of soup with you.”

Said, he gently waved his hand, two silhouettes have already flown out, directly came to the front of this big fat man.

It did not make a move, but just stood there in a good manner, seemingly to be at the mercy of the sentencing.

Just listen to Do not art said:

“Just I have no knife in my hand, no way to kill the head.

“If you want, you can do it yourself.”

“Good good good.”

Big Fatty nodded repeatedly.

A Mei, on the other hand, sighed softly:

“He is going to die …… Bedou clan means treacherous, iron thread worm if not sticky body power is limited, but can borrow corpses to infest the opponent.

“This fat man but if he touches these two people, he will die.”

Right at the moment when A Mei was speaking, this fatty had already arrived in front of these two Boat Race disciples.

Van Cheng watched dumbfounded, but was all but powerless to stop them.

Seeing the big fat man reaching out, he clutched the front flap of one of the men, and with a turn of the cleaver in his hand on his neck, a human head was already removed.

This boat people in fact has long been dead for a long time, the body blood does not flow, was big fat man took off the head, also did not flow much blood, just with the head was taken off, neck breaks almost hundreds of wire worm at the same time, struggling to wriggle, only to see people shocking.

Big fat man casually pushed, the headless body fell to the ground.

Neck breaks countless wire worm immediately from the body out, in a kind of treacherous, but very fast speed, towards the direction of Do not art pounced.

Along his pants leg, drilled into the sleeve.

Bed Art looked at the fat man in front of him with a face full of consternation, seeing that he was half injured and was walking towards another Boat Race disciple, his face was suddenly flooded with gravity.

Just then, he heard the big fat man mutter and open his mouth:

“It’s not easy to do business these days.

“You still have to do it yourself in order to be well fed and clothed. ……”

As he said that, he got down and beheaded another human head.

Only then did he smile and say to Do Not Art:

“Wait a moment, guest, I’ll serve you soup right away.”

As he spoke, he didn’t go to the house first, but instead came to the flowers and plants around the courtyard and placed the two heads, respectively, in the pots of the two flowers.

Only after doing this did he turn around and walk towards the house:

“Shengtang, Shengtang, it’s finally open.”
