Chapter 875 Passing the Knife
Fishing Village.
Baili Chubby, Cao Yuan, and Shen Qingzhu walked on the village road in silence, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
”Chubby.” I don’t know how long it took before Cao Yuan took the initiative to break the silence, turning his head to look at Chubby Baili on the side, and said seriously, “Just now you went a little too far.”
Baili Fatty lowered his head and walked at the end, like a child who had made a mistake.
”I know …… that I don t want to quarrel with Qingyu.” Baili Chubby kicked away a stone under his foot, and opened his mouth with some chagrin, “But just now …… I don’t know why, talking to him, the fire suddenly came up.”
Clang–!
The stone flew to the eaves of the house next door, gently flicked, and fell into the dog kennel next to the house.
”Woof woof woof–!!!”
Rapid and ferocious barking came from the kennel, and a gray clay dog violently drilled out of the small hole, barking furiously as it sprinted towards Baili Chubby.
Baili Fatty frowned at it, a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, and he took out a short knife from his pocket, and just as he raised his hand, his entire body suddenly froze in place.
He looked at the earth dog running wildly in the distance, and then looked at the short knife in his hand, his expression seemed to be a little confused, and a little struggling …… In the end, he still put the short knife away, and his fingertips gently pointed towards the earth dog, and a flash of spiritual light turned into a slender green rope, instantly binding one of the earth dog’s hind legs to a stone block on the side.
The earth dog that was bound by the green rope stumbled and fell to the ground, but its limbs were still frantically picking at the ground, roaring towards Baili Fatty and the others one after another.
Just now, Baili Fatty’s actions were captured by Shen Qingzhu’s eyes.
He frowned and stared at Baili Chubby, as if pondering what ……
”I ……” Baili Chubby opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say, he held his hands on his head, leaned against the wall, and slowly squatted down.
”Are you alright?” Cao Yuan squatted down in front of him.
”I don’t know.” Baili Chubby said with some annoyance, “I seem …… to be a little off.”
”Woof woof woof–!!!”
The furious barking of the earth dogs echoed between the roads, shaking one’s eardrums to the point of raw pain, Cao Yuan frowned slightly and continued to persuade:
”Anyway, after this matter is over, you have to go and apologize to Qingyu properly ……”
Cao Yuan’s voice was suppressed by the sound of barking, Baili Chubby opened his mouth blankly: “What did you say? I can’t hear you.”
Cao Yuan took a deep breath and spoke again, “I said this incident is over ……”
”Woof woof woof-!!!”
”F*ck!!!”
A flash of anger climbed up in Cao Yuan’s eyes, and his entire body violently stood up from the ground, a pair of scarlet-red eyes staring deathly at the bound earth dog in the distance, and his right hand instantly rested on the hilt of the straight sword at his waist.
With a slight force from his palm, he was about to pull out the blade!
Ka-da-!
A palm swiftly pressed on the hilt of the blade, holding down the knife that was about to be sheathed back down.
Cao Yuan turned his head, those angry eyes suddenly froze when he saw Shen Qingzhu beside him.
”You can’t draw your sword.” Shen Qingzhu’s expression was unprecedentedly serious, “Cao Yuan, you absolutely cannot draw your sword!”
”Why?”
Shen Qingzhu opened his mouth and was about to say something, when the two of them glanced into the distance with their afterimages, and their pupils contracted slightly.
Only to see that the earth dog that was bound by the green rope beside the stone block, its eyes were incomparably red, it stopped roaring and began to lower its head and frantically tear at its hind leg, as if it was oblivious to the pain, its sharp teeth tore at the flesh and blood and fiercely exerted its strength, unexpectedly gnawing down the bound hind leg hard and fast!
Dripping blood flowed along its body on the ground, the earth dog that had regained its freedom slowly turned its head, the hideous dog’s mouth that was full of its own blood and broken meat grinned in a hideous arc, as if it was a vicious dog from hell, revealing its fangs to the three people.
”Woof woof woof-!!!”
With its only three remaining legs, it staggered but madly rushed towards Baili Chubby, its eyes full of fury and madness.
”Has it gone mad?” Baili Fatty witnessed this scene and spoke in shock.
Even after losing a leg, the dog’s speed did not slow down in the slightest, it was like a mad dog that had lost its sense of pain as it opened its bloody fangs and once again barked furiously at the trio.
Right at this moment, a gray shadow descended from the sky, swooping down with precision towards the high-speed moving mad dog.
It was a scaly bird of prey.
Shen Qingzhu recognized this bird, this morning when they were at the entrance of the village they witnessed the birds killing each other, and this bird was the final winner.
The bird’s eyes were also scarlet, and it let out a sharp, ear-piercing chirp, gathered its wings, and swooped down from the sky, like a gray lightning bolt, and fiercely pierced into Mad Dog’s right eye.
Blood burst out.
The mad dog’s growl was mournful, and it shook its head frantically, wanting to shake the flying bird off its head, but the bird did not show the slightest bit of fear, and pecked at its other eye one after another.
A dog and a bird were fighting together like crazy demons.
The three of them, Baili Chubby, looked dumbfounded.
”There is something here that is able to affect the sanity and emotions of creatures.” Seeing this scene, Shen Qingzhu was even more certain of the judgment in his heart, he turned his head to look at Cao Yuan and Baili Fatty, and said in a serious and incomparable manner, “Human beings, they are also within the scope of its influence.”
”So, I just also ……” Baili Chubby looked like he understood something.
”Well, you just lost control of your emotions, so you should have been affected as well.” Shen Qingzhu nodded slightly, then looked at Cao Yuan and said, “Cao Yuan, you were also affected.”
Cao Yuan looked down at his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword and fell into silence.
In that moment just now, he did have the urge to pull out his sword and kill the dog.
With their hands, dealing with this kind of roadside mad dog would not have been the slightest bit difficult, and a casual kick could send it flying tens of meters away …… But just now, he got up the urge to kill.
He wanted to draw his sword to liberate the forbidden market and kill the mad dog.
”I ……” Cao Yuan muttered.
”If humans are also within the influence of this power, the one of us who needs to be most careful is you, Cao Yuan.” Shen Qingzhu looked at Cao Yuan’s eyes and said seriously, “The rest of us are fine, if we really can’t keep our sanity, we can let Fatty blockade our actions with forbidden objects to prevent doing something irreparable, but you are different.
Your [Black King Chopping Extinction], this is extremely easy to get out of control and go berserk, if you draw your sword and enter the state of the Black King, the two superimposed, it is impossible for you to maintain your sanity, coupled with your terrifyingly berserk forbidden ruins,…… me and Fatty combined, may not be able to suppress you.”
On the road ahead, the fight between the Flying Bird and the Mad Dog was nearing its end, the Mad Dog bit off the Flying Bird’s head in one bite, stumbled forward a few steps, and seemed to want to come and tear into Baili Chubby, but within a few steps, it collapsed to the ground, and gurgling blood flowed out of it, and it lost its breath a few moments later.
Cao Yuan watched this scene in silence, took a deep breath, took off the straight sword from his waist and handed it to Shen Qingzhu’s hand.
”Brother Tug, my knife, for you to keep.”
