Chapter 48 The Abyss
Haoyue held Elder Lu who was coughing violently. Elder Lu was one of the survivors. He was seriously injured on many sides of his body and his chest was covered with gauze that was oozing blood. He bleeded due to the violent coughing.
Haoyue patted his back, "Elder, what happened?" Elder Lu breathed a long sigh, "Yesterday morning, we were like usual. The tribesmen fetched water to clean and cook. Not long after, someone ran to say that their wife and children started to vomit and become unconscious after eating. Several other veterans in the tribe went over to see that it was obvious that they were poisoned. After a while, some people showed this symptoms one after another. There were also our warriors, who drank water, were like this, and they were weak all over, and they were unconscious. We thought that the water source was poisoned, so we went from house to door to stop the tribe who were preparing to use water. At this time, most of the tribesmen had already developed symptoms of poisoning." Elder Lu coughed violently again, "Fortunately, some people did not use water and escaped this disaster?"
"How could anyone poison the well?" Copper brought a cup of water from the well and placed it carefully in front of his nose and smelled it.
"And what? What happened next?" Haoyue comforted Elder Lu.
"Just at noon, the whole clan was paralyzed, the wolf clan invaded. The scope and actions of this time had never been seen before. It seemed that we knew in advance that the leader of the clan was not there and our clan members were poisoned. As soon as they arrived, they massacred the poisoned warriors fought to the death, but their strength could not compete with them. Soon the defense line formed by the warriors was broken, our clan members were killed, the house was burned, and everything was looted. The warriors who had not died in battle were hung up by them and blood were tragically killed on the holy platform." Elder Lu said this and recalled the tragic situation at that time, he couldn't help but bury his face in his hands and burst into tears.
Haoyue couldn't imagine what kind of tragic situation it was at that time. Her eyes had dried up and she could no longer cry.
Cober murmured in a low voice, "Is it an extinct black spider?"
"Uncle Coper, what did you say?" Haoyue asked.
"The symptoms of this poisoning are very similar to a black spider, but that thing has disappeared."
Haoyue's thoughts circulated for a moment, "Once my father and Hagan were looking for the wolf clan. When he came back, he told me that Hagan was almost bitten by this thing. Could it be this poisonous spider?"
"Yes, I haven't seen it again in so many years, it should have been extinct, strange-" Ke Bona meditated, "That time, your father almost bitten to save him, and then-" Ke Bona suddenly stopped talking.
"Uncle Cober," Haoyue looked at Ke Bona in panic, "What did you think of again?"
"Who will it be?" Haoyue and Elder Lu looked at Ke Bona together.
"I'm going all the way with other warriors, your father and Haha have been crazy, of course it's not him."
"The leader and Hagan encountered an attack. Later, he rushed over to save your father, wasn't Langri?" Elder Lu suddenly thought that Langri also became a warrior because of rescued Qi Jige. "How could he find your father and Hagan all at once, unless he keeps following him."
"Then it's easy to say, that rare spider must have been adopted by the person behind them," Copperna added.
"This is actually the case," Elder Lu screamed, "The Han people are indeed Han people, and he is not our own member of the Wolf Slayer tribe. Fortunately, we trust him so much."
"No matter what, Yi Langri is the most suspicious now." Ke Bona looked at Haoyue, as if he was expressing this indisputable fact to Haoyue in a sure tone.
Haoyue seemed to have something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say a word. She remembered that scene, Lang Ri held a wolf-slaying sword and inserted it into her father's chest, and her father's whole body was covered in blood.
"Langri also killed Qi Jige." Ke Bona repeated, "This crazy madman, he is going to destroy the entire wolf-slaying clan!"
"I really didn't expect it to be Langri." Elder Lu slapped the table angrily.
Haoyue's eyes were dull. She didn't know how to face this fact. Ke Bo looked at her empty eyes and thought that God really helped her. Lang Ri actually got rid of Qi Jige with his own hands and let Haoyue see it.
"Haoyue, Elder Ke, you go and have a look. There are people in the tribe again," said a man who ran in and announced. Haoyue ran out the next moment. She didn't have time to be sad. She couldn't be sad when she thought of Langri.
The wolf-slayer, like a ruin, was indeed close to destruction after this catastrophe. Haoyue helped the unpoisoned people carry the wounded into a place where they could rest. People's injuries continued to aggravate the death. The children's sorrow of losing their parents, the women's sorrow of losing their husbands, and the elderly were in pain. Haoyue stood there and watched all this. She was covered in dust, her hair was messy, and her eyes were dry and she could not shed tears.
"There is no clean water source, and several warriors died again." Ke Bona came over and told her all this.
Haoyue looked around and saw this miserable situation, "God!" She raised her head and let out a long roar, "Do you have eyes? Why do you treat my kind people like this? Why!"
A rolling thunder sounded, and the hazy sky immediately started to rain heavily.
Ke Bona held Haoyue and wanted to hide from the rain. Haoyue shook Ke Bona's hand away, and the rain poured down. This was a rare heavy rain, as if telling the tragic situation in the world. She knelt on the ground crying and picked up the land wet by the heavy rain. Her hand was cut by hard stones and blood was leaked. Haoyue had no pain. She raised her head and looked at the dark sky and shouted, "Dad!"
Another thunder sounded, and Ke Bona and others could find all the utensils that could be used to hold water to catch the rain.
Haoyue knelt in the heavy rain all over her body, her vision blurred, and she couldn't tell whether the rain in her eyes or her bitter tears.
Ke Bona turned around and looked at the scene. At that moment, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. This was Hoji's daughter, the only witness she left in the world. He wanted to make her live well.
"Why, why did you kill my father, why did you poison, why did you destroy the wolf-slaying tribe you lived in? Don't you love this place? Didn't you tell me to repay this place for your whole life? You lied to me, you lied to me!" Haoyue bit her lips and shook her head. When the pain reaches the extreme, people will be close to suffocation. At this moment, Haoyue felt that life was worse than death.
"Yi-Lang-Ri-" Haoyue almost cried and shouted out his name. The desperate wail like tearing the sky was mixed with the sound of thunderstorm, "I swear, I want to kill you, I want you to pay the price for everything you do!"
Langri fainted in the desert because he was exhausted again and again. He didn't know if he had the life to return to the wolf-slaying tribe, but as long as he had a breath, he would crawl back even if he crawled, because he wanted to see Haoyue and tell her everything and explain the scene that Haoyue misunderstood.
It was raining heavily in the sky. It had been a long time since the desert was raining. It was still such a rare heavy rain. Langri looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were covered with wind and wind were rolling up. I wonder if it was because of the evil spirits of the death. Langri moved forward in the wind and rain. "Master, bless me to return to the wolf-slaying clan, bless me, let Haoyue forgive me." Langri thought silently while walking.
The heavy rain flooded Langri's vision. Langri couldn't see the road clearly. He fell down unsteadily and rolled down the sand dunes. Langri, who was covered in mud, fainted again.
The rain gradually became lighter, and she walked quietly to Langri alone, wearing black clothes. She slowly squatted down and brushed away the messy hair from Langri's face with her fair little hands.
"Oh, it's so pitiful," said a man in white standing behind the woman in black.
The girl in black took off her veil. It was the woman Lang Ri had saved under the wolf demon.
"I think he will be dead when he returns, and it will be dead when no one cares about him here." The man in white continued.
The woman took out a water bag made of sheepskin bag on her waist, drank it in her own mouth, and then lowered her head and fed the water into Langri's mouth.
The man in white smiled and watched the woman feed him water, "You won't be moved by him, right?"
The woman wiped the water from her mouth, tilted her head and smiled charmingly at the man, "How is it? No? He saved me."
“Can this be a reason for you to like him?”
"No reason to like someone." The woman stood up and put on a veil.
"If you like someone, are you qualified to like humans? Or are you a wolf-slayer?" The man's tone was very provocative.
"Wolf Slayer?" the woman raised her eyebrows disdainfully and sneered, "Does this clan still exist? Isn't it about to die?"
"That's true," the man played with his hair. "Okay, the medicine has been fed. I guess he'll wake up in a while. Let's go."
The woman glanced at Langri with greed for the last time, "Yi Langri, there will be a date later." Then she calmly walked away with the man.
Langri quickly woke up from a coma and suddenly felt that his whole body was not so painful. He supported himself, and the rain had stopped. He saw that the dark clouds had dispersed and the sky began to clear up. Langri stood up and saw clearly his way back to the wolf-slaying tribe and continued to move forward.
"Haoyue, wait for me, I'll go back."
Langri never knew what was waiting for him. In fact, even if he knew, he still had to go back, because it was his home and someone he loved deeply there, and he had to go back there and could not be delayed for a moment.
"Look at how persistent he is." The man in white and the woman in black appeared behind Lang Ri, watching him staggering and struggling forward.
