The Yuanrang Monster Hunter
24. Lang Xue (4)'s
“I believe you guys can!” Yudhistira said while leaving Miaocai and Mengde to fight against the spearheaded Jinnanaluo.
Yudhishthira and Jinannaluo faced each other. They still haven't attacked each other. Just go around each other and watch each other. Yudhistira himself waited for the enemy to attack first. There is no tension in Yudhishthira. Other with Jinnanaluo. The eyes of the horse-headed man stared at Yudhistira savagely. Like a tiger that heads and lurks its prey.
“Actually, how many are you?” ask Jinnanaluo.
“Me and my two disciples only,” replied Yudhistira.
“Is it true that only three people? I'm not sure,” said Jinnanaluo while coating the spear with electricity.
“If you don't believe, please just check the entire Lang Xue Hill,” Yudhistira said as he coated the spear with fire, “While you run and check, I will chase and try to kill you. Good idea, right?”
“I killed you first, then I checked all the Lang Xue Hills. Good idea, right?”
Jinnaluo clasped the spear tightly and thrust it into the head of Yudhishthira. Yudhishthira tilted his head to the right. The spear thrust only hit the air. Then Jinnanaluo struck the spear to the left side of Yudhishthira's head. But again Yudhishthira managed to roll to the right. While firing a fire knife into Jinnanaluo's stomach. Jinnanaluo pulled the knife just now. Then created an electric bird to Yudhistira. Yudhishthira turned the spear like a windmill with a metal handle. Fend off all electric bird attacks. After all the electric birds disappeared, the fire-coated spear flew into Jinnanaluo's neck. It was not difficult for Jinnanaluo to overcome this metal-control attack. Simply twist the spear and take off the fire-coated spear that was aiming at his neck. Jinnanaluo smiled and advanced to Yudhistira.
Yudhishthira created a shield and spear of fire. However, Jinnanaluo had not yet reached Yudhistira, he immediately turned back while installing an electric shield. Jinnanaluo was showered by dozens of fireballs emanating from spears. When Yudhistira's spear was removed, it was still covered in fire. Yudhishthira used firebending to harness the flames that coated the spear to attack Jinnanaluo from behind. When he was preoccupied with the fireball attack, Yudhistira came forward and tried to thrust the spear into Jinnanaluo who was turning his back. Yudhistira was no ordinary Jinnanaluo. Because he was aware of Yudhishthira's attack. The horse-headed man immediately rolled to the right, turned the shield into an electric bird and attacked Yudhishthira. Yudhishthira, who was aware of the danger, used a shield of fire to take shelter. In a position lying on the ground, Jinnanaluo still had time to thrust a spear into the right leg of Yudhistira. Yudhishthira jumped, but it was a little too late. So it just scratches a little. Even so, Jinnanaluo's yellow electric spear paralyzed Yudhistira's legs. The Indian man also collapsed.
Seeing his enemy collapse, Jinnanaluo immediately threw dozens of lightning birds. Although the feet are still difficult to move, it does not mean Yudhistira can not do anything. With the control of metal, Yudhishthira turned the spear like a windmill. Upset by Yudhistira's way, Jinnanaluo deflects the side of the lightning bird. Attacked Yudhishthira from three directions: up, left and right. It is easy for Yudhishthira. He created a fire shell and managed to fend off all the fire birds attacking him. Wrathful because he could not hit it too, Jinnanaluo jumped and thrust a spear. Yudhishthira used a fire shell, which initially survived to attack, to burn Jinnanaluo. It was read, Jinnanaluo also canceled the attack. He used the spear as a pedestal and jumped away. The fire of Yudhishthira disappeared in the air.
Yudhistira's legs are almost healed. He used a spear to stand up. Yudhistria's eyes glanced around. Look for metal-based weapons belonging to the bandits scattered around. Because it was dark, Yudhishthira found only a few weapons. The Indian man immediately concentrated metal control on some weapons that were affordable to the eye.
Yudhistira laughed and said, “I don't know what you're thinking. Your enemy uses a fire shell and you even run directly.”
Jinnanaluo simply smiled and said, “I saw the gap to kill you earlier?”
“Crack? How big is that gap, man?”
“Already know the gap. His name is slit yes small.”
“Already know small, why still reckless?”
“The name is also try, my Indian friend.”
“Meksipun the risk is even flushed by my fire?”
“I've calculated the risk of burning. Proof of your attack no one hit me.”
“How about this?”
Several weapons scattered on the battlefield floated up. Then all eyes of the weapon point towards Jinnanaluo. Remarkably, Jinnanaluo was able to fend off most of the thrown weapons. A small part just scratches the skin. Yudhistira understands now. It's because of the fire itself. So it was easy for Jinnanaluo to fend off. Yudhistira also put out the fire. Now Jinnanaluo jumped away. Both sides lost their concentration and could not track their positions. Yudhishthira spread fire again. Secretly, he looked for fabrics that might be suitable to support his next tactic.
Yudhistira and Jinnanaluo continued to duel. The sound of the impact of two spears, the sound of groans and the sound of swearing sounded. They are quite skilled at using weapons. The thunderous sound of lightning was heard. This is the name of strong equally strong. Eventually, Yudhishthira's plan began.
Yudhishthira wrapped his right hand with a cloth. So as not to be stung by the layer of lightning that sticks to Jinnanaluo's spear. Yudhistira caught the spear. Seeing Yudhistira capture his spear, Jinnanaluo immediately changed the yellow lightning to blue. Blue is more dangerous than yellow. Because it is able to tear the fabric layer. Yudhistira's hand was bleeding. But directly hit the fist to Jinnanaluo's face. Jinnanaluo took four steps. As Jinnanaluo lay, Yudhistira controlled the scattered weapons. He showered Jinnanaluo with those weapons. Despite being in a difficult position, Jinnanaluo could still fend off most of the weapons. While a small part stabbed himself.
Yudhishthira coated the spear with fire and ran to finish off Jinnanaluo. Jinnanaluo brushed off Yudhisita's stab. But the chief of Yudhistira was opposed to the head of Jinnanaluo. An unexpected head clash just now, made Jinnanaluo dizzy. Yudhishthira's left hand took the sword from the ground and immediately slapped it against Jinnanaluo's neck. Amazingly, Jinnanaluo managed to dodge. Not giving up, Yudhistira tried to fly the sword. It can still be repelled. Yudhistira controls the dagger behind Jinnanaluo. However, again Jinnanaluo managed to pull over. Yudhishthira came forward and thrust a spear. It was at this time that Yudhisthira's efforts were successful. Jinnanaluo did make a deflective move. But not accurate. So that the spear thrust Yudhistira managed to tear Jinnanaluo's stomach until penetrating to the back.
Despite being hit by such a fatal stab, Jinnanaluo did not give up. He gripped Yudhishthira's spear and sent out a red lightning bolt. Yudhistira was late in releasing the handle of the spear. Blood poured out from the palm of the hand to the elbow of Yudhistra. Shredded by the red lightning. Jinnanaluo also tried to target Yudhistira's neck. But it was not because Yudhishthira bowed and retreated.
“You ...” says Jinnanaluo.
Jinnanaluo started a stronger attack. He created the red lightning birds. Doubtful to fend off an attack like this, Yudhistira extinguished the fire to reduce Jinnanaluo's vision and immediately moved away.
All the lightning birds in the beginning did chase after Yudhistira. But thanks to Yudhistira's anticipation, many lightning birds eventually deviated from the target. Because the darkness makes Jinnanaluo's accuracy reduced. Yudhishthira himself disappeared behind the darkness.
The spear thrust was fatal according to Yudhistira. Not only was the wound hitting a vital target, but also the layer of fire that enveloped the spear. If with a normal count, it should not take long Jinnanaluo will meet his death. Even so, Yudhistira remained cautious and did not dare to be too sure that he had succeeded in killing Jinnanaluo. Who knows, this time the enemy has an unexpected hidden ability. After all, his combat ability was greater than the other two Jinnanaluo. The Indian man approached Jinnanaluo from the darkness. Whatever it is, it has to be ensured. Some enemies are said to die if their heads are cut off.
Jinnanaluo is now leaning against the rock. His body is weak. Blood also washed the grass. Breath is also panting. Death is almost to pick you up. Maybe he had an impromptu attack.
Yudhistira said to Jinnanaluo, “If you answer my question, I will let you survive. I'll try to heal your wounds.”
“If you want to ask, come here. I don't know where my opponent talks,” said Jinnanaluo.
Yudhistira controlled Jinnanaluo's spear and threw it away. But Yudhistira remained in hiding because Jinnanaluo could still be able to fight back.
“Iya. I came closer and you threw your red electricity in my face. Better than here alone,” said Yudhistira after moving bushes.
Jinnanaluo laughed, “You're very careful, huh? What do you want to ask?”
“What is your purpose here and where is your organization from?”
“We are from the north. Fan Rong Village. Our goal is to get this area closer to the south. I'm moving under a nameless organization that even I don't understand what it's like. This organization is very closed. Even those of us who are only people below are only told a short-term plan,” Jinnanaluo replied while coughing blood.
“What is your organization moving south for?”
“So connect with across the ocean east.”
“Land across the east ocean?”
“Land Wa. If you don't know, it might be called Wakoku.”
Wakoku or Wa Land is another name of vast land after the ocean on the eastern side of mainland China. The Chinese in the Han Dynasty called it Wakoku. Modern humans call it Nihon, Nippon or Japanese.
“Ah, yes. Wakoku. I know what you mean. If it is connected, why?”
“We don't know for sure. I told you our organization was closed. Today we were only told to deliver medicine to Qiong Qi alone. We are also equipped with these weapons and potions to transform into Jinnanaluo. Are there any other questions? Quickly kill me.”
“Where is your organization's operating base?”
“I don't know. We only accept orders from people approaching our home.”
“Then what if you want to report your process or work? Isn't it very troublesome if you don't know its base of operations?”
“What does that person like?”
“For total physical appearance, we don't know for sure. He is not an Asian ethnicity like us. Most likely from Europe. The strange thing is in his eyes.”
“Why with his eyes?”
“Sometimes his eyes are as normal as ours. He's blue eyed. Sometimes it is completely black. Even the blue part and the white part of the eye are blackened. Around the eyes also appear similar to blood vessels but black in color.”
Yudhistira swallowed his saliva. Because he knew exactly what those black-eyed people were. Clearly not a good group of people. Their combat abilities were also above average. They are able to control the elements of nature. Quite a lot of them are also able to master the weapon well. Yudhishthira had killed the same people. Maybe Yudhishthira could face them. But, for his three disciples, it had to be honed even deeper.
“Why silent?” Ask Jinnanaluo.
“No. I just remembered something. That black-eyed person, capable of controlling what?”
“Oh, do you realize that they are just like us? I don't know. I never saw him put out a hand or fight. By the way, you know a lot about black-eyed men.”
“Yeah, not much either. Ever killed some. Then why did you and your two friends join such an obscure organization?”
“Money. Pay's good. In addition, they also guarantee that their work is risk free. To this day ... They didn't take into account that there would be someone here other than us.”
“Not at risk how? Clearly they told you to meet Qiong Qi. Creatures that are very savage and do not hesitate to eat humans.”
“We already know the Qiong Qi you killed. The organization also guarantees us protection. If Qiong Qi dares to kill us, then the organization will pursue Qiong Qi. In short, at the beginning, we thought it was an easy mission. Simply deliver the medicine and the mission is finished.”
“Are you sure the organization you serve is a good organization?"
“Who cares good and bad? We just need the money. No money means bad. Money means good. If you want to consider them good, you can also. After their arrival, the monsters had already disappeared. They were also able to expel the bandits from here so as not to disturb the ordinary citizens.
“What in Fan Rong Village there are monsters?”
“Monster??? There used to be. But now there's no more. It's been a year since it's been safe. Like I said just now.”
“Why do you want to answer all our questions?”
“I want to ask you for help,” said Jinnanaluo who kept coughing blood since earlier, “In my right pocket there is a cloth. If you go to Fan Rong village. Give the cloth to my son named Tian Bingbing.”
“How do I recognize your son and how do I know where he is now?”
“Ask the surrounding residents. They recognized Tian Bingbing and we stayed on the east side of Fan Rong. They will definitely show you.”
“You asked me for help? The one who killed you?”
“About I have another choice? My gut tells me you're good people. Don't know why. Also, don't tell my son that you killed me. Just tell me someone left this to you. If my son asks me the name of 'someone' who left this, just answer me if you don't know his name.”
“As possible. I don't want to lie.”
“You didn't lie. You also until this moment do not know my name, right?”
Yudhishthira did not answer further and took the sword which was scattered with restraint, then said, “You do not want to be healed?”
“Do not be silly. My digestive organs have been torn all over. Your attack is too fatal.”
“Padal can still ..”
“Once again, don't be silly. Where are you taking me? Government office or healer's house? Lang Xue Hill bandit nest. It must be far from downtown. Even if now you take me, Before reaching the city center or the healer's house, I must have bled to death.” said Jinnanaluo.
From the bushes, Yudhistira controls the sword and attaches it to Jinnanaluo's neck, “Close your eyes. It will be fast.”
Jinnanaluo closed his eyes and said, “Already.” A few seconds later, Jinnanaluo's head rolled.
When all was done, Yudhishthira walked out of the bushes. He stopped Jinnanaluo's corpse, plucked the spear and returned it to his disciples. Then recounted the conversation with Jinnanaluo just to Mengde and Miaocai.
“That's how,” says Yudhistira ends his story.
“So our next mission to Fan Rong Village?” ask Miaocai.
“No. We go back south to face the giant snake,” Yudhistira replied, "After that, we go to Fan Rong
“But, whoever the black-eyed man is, will soon make new plans. We're gonna miss the moment of investigation. He could have just left Fan Rong Village as soon as he found out that his men were dead. Or will even attack this Lang Xue Hill,” Mengde said.
“Good, Mengde. You realize the potential risks. But I promised to finish off the snake,” said Yudhistira.
Not long after, Yuanrang and two strigoi came. Aquilus soon became acquainted with Yudhishthira and his two disciples. After that, they sat down and listened to all the stories of Yudhishthira. At the end of the sentence, Yudhisthira apologized.
“Force us. We failed to find a place worthy of you. This cave is empty now. But it could be tomorrow there will be an enemy attack on Lang Xue,” Yudhistira said.
Aquilus nodded, “We appreciate your goodwill. Sorry we were late here. We'll stay in this cave for a while. While looking for another cave.”
“Do not. Too risky,” said Yudhistira, “Let's stay in the forest first. We can discuss this with the ruler to give some leeway. If we have finished the giant snake and you are still having trouble finding a place to live, we can help later.”
“Look, while you guys finish the giant snake, we will investigate who exactly the black-eyed man is. While looking for a new place to stay.”
“Are you not tired of the distance that I don't know how many li this is? From the forest to Fan Rong Village seems quite far.”
“Quiet. I don't have a problem. They will be looking for a new place. If we were lucky to find a new place closer to Fan Reng Village, we would move there. After all, it would be easier right if we start to install jobs little by little? You can join in later. You work during the day and we work at night.
“Alright, I agree,” Yudhistira shakes Aquilus' hand.
“When will you kill a giant snake?”
“Maybe four more days. Are there some traps and anti-poison? which I need to prepare.”
