i want to be by your side

After Yuan Jian and the others all came down, I approached, and I took a glance. Besides Yuan Jian and Shan Che, there were three other people I didn't know, who should also be Yuan Jian's subordinates.The rest should have stayed on top.

"Are you still alive?" I casually said to Shan Che, but looked at the hourglass in Yuan Jian's hand—half filled with sand and half empty.This guy didn't know when he turned the hourglass upside down again, otherwise how could it flow so fast?

Shan Che snorted coldly at me, ignored me, walked straight behind me, and observed the scene in front of me—because I wiped it very rough, so if you look closely, you can still see traces of intentional cover-up.

"Look over there." I pointed to the direction where the bones had just been hidden, indicating that there was something over there.

"What's there?" Yuan Jian asked Shan Che to look over there with his eyes, then stood beside me and asked me.

"...the leftover bones." I answered with great difficulty.After all, those were my leftover bones, so it was embarrassing for people to look at them so deliberately.I suddenly became concerned about the appearance of those bones now, whether they were particularly ugly after being gnawed.

Shan Che came back soon and truthfully described what he saw.He guessed that some kind of giant beast had just eaten the leftovers here, because the meat on the bones was still very fresh.Then he advised Yuan Jian to leave here as soon as possible. After all, the bone was quite big, and if it could eat such a large prey, the giant beast must also be huge.

I just want to say that the behemoth is me.Fortunately, my scales are originally black, and they look more like rocks. Without a light source, it is very difficult to detect my existence in complete darkness.So I saw Shan Che, but he didn't see me.

Yuan Jian cast her eyes on me, and I saw the question on her face.

"He's right." I nodded, confirming Shan Che's conjecture. "The body of the beast that was eaten was as tall as a tree, but it still had no power to resist in front of the giant beast. It was swallowed in two or three blows...you can't imagine that the giant beast How terrifying! Those eyes are so big, the teeth in its mouth are so sharp, and its claws... If I can have such a giant beast as my master, it must be so handsome... Hey, What about people?"

I talked nonsense, boasting myself so much that I almost blushed, but no one was listening.

Yuan Jian went there to check those bones in person, and I followed boredly to see what the other party thought, and then I saw her go over and squat down, look at the horns of the beast very carefully, and even stretched out her hand to try it. Touch it.

"What did you find?" I walked over and asked.

Yuan Jian frowned and did not speak.After a long time, she suddenly said to Shan Che: "Look, doesn't it look like horns grew out of people's heads inexplicably after being cast by that Wushan spell?"

Shan Che was taken aback for a moment, leaned over and took a closer look, and finally said "yes" with certainty.He glanced at me vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Could it be related?"

"I don't know." Yuan Jian shook his head, then glanced at all of us, and then asked me suddenly: "Master Long, you just said that you saw a giant beast eating this head, but it came from us I haven't seen that giant beast until now. Where did the giant beast go?"

After thinking for a second, I said, "It disappeared into the darkness."

"..."

Yuan Jian resigned to his fate and didn't continue to ask me any more questions. Instead, he told the others to watch out for their surroundings, and then led them towards a certain direction.

Two men holding torches walked in front of the line, and I followed Yuan Jian half a step behind, and finally we came to a raised stone platform.There are uneven patterns on the stone platform, and there are still some blood clots that have been dried up.

"Did the blood from the animals killed by the sacrifice be sucked here?" I habitually moved the tip of my nose, smelling the smell of the nearby air.The smell of the horned beast I ate was stronger here.

Could it be its nest?I muttered in my heart, walked forward and looked here and there, and sure enough, a little behind the stone platform, I found hay and other animal skins and feathers that wild animals used to make their nests.I guess it might have slept here originally, but when it sensed us coming, it thought it was the people who brought food to it. Because the time was right, it walked to the entrance of the cave and wandered around the entrance of the cave, so we Only then can you feel the breath it exhales.

But what is this stone platform used for?

I looked at some lines faintly exposed under the animal's fur, and I probably understood something in my heart.

"What did you find?" Yuan Jian asked.

"It's just speculation." I said, "By the way, when do you want me to kill Yuan Yong? Is there a time limit?"

"Yuan Yong?" She froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect me to mention this suddenly.Then I thought about it for a few seconds and asked me how long it would take me to kill someone.

"Probably... about three days." I said, "It takes one day to go back and forth from here to the cottage, and one to two days to find someone and find an opportunity. I guess you will see me holding the head in three days. Come back, of course, the premise is that the person must be active in the cottage."

"So fast?" Yuan Jian looked at me in surprise, as if looking at a monster. "Doesn't it take a month or more?" Even Shan Che and others beside me looked at me in surprise.

"Hehe." I smiled and said nothing.

"Now is not the time to talk big." Shan Che frowned and looked at me, obviously not thinking that I could succeed in such a short period of time.

"Since you don't believe me, why don't you give me a time limit yourself?"

"No, just as you said, I will see Yuan Yong's head in three days." Yuan Jian shook his head and refused, then turned and left. "Everyone take a rest, tomorrow we will leave for the barracks."

After going out, I saw Zheng Rentao and several other subordinates.Although he couldn't be killed by bandits if he miscalculated, everyone is gathered together again now.I saw Yuan Jian whisper something to Shan Che, and then Shan Che went to say something to Zheng Rentao. During this time, the guy secretly raised his head and took a quick glance at me.

Don't you just think I'm unreliable? Do you want to find another killer?Anyway, it's not the first time I've encountered this kind of thing.To be honest, the one-kill, double-kill and triple-kill orders I issued to Jianghu are actually regarded as jokes by many people, not to mention the price of ten years of life!How could anyone believe such an unbelievable thing?Even if you believe it, you can only come to me when you come to a dead end, otherwise, who would like to lose ten years in vain?Thanks to this, I received a list that all the people I killed were powerful and powerful masters.So when I kill, I usually don't just kill one, but kill dozens of them, and supplement my few lifespan by the way.

The lifespan I get for helping others kill is different from the life I get for killing myself.The former is through a contract, as long as the target dies, I can get ten years of life from the client.As for the latter, because there is no contract, the lifespan is collected passively, so every time you kill a person, you can only get one year's lifespan from the other person. Sometimes when you meet a dying person who can't live for one year, you only get the remaining time of the other party. .

When my time runs out and there is no replenishment, that's when I return to Chaos again.Because I will not die.
