Chapter 306 "He is also a human"
(Author's note: This is the last day of the month. It would be a waste not to vote ~)
After leaving the Brokeback Mountain town, everything that happened in the town would naturally be reported back by the Shrines and Paladin. However, none of this had much to do with Du Wei.
His mind was now full of thoughts on how to escape. This Bai Hechou was not only strong, but more importantly, he was also very intelligent. He was definitely not the kind of fool who only knew how to be arrogant.
Along the way, Du Wei thought that if he really wanted to trick this guy, he might be able to do it. It's just that once the other party is fooled, with his powerful strength as a backing, he can immediately recapture Du-Wei. At that time, if he angered this temperamental guy, he's afraid it'll be very bad.
However, along the way, Bai River Sorrow was polite to Du Wei and didn't really treat him as a captive. As long as Du Wei didn't run away, Bai River Sorrow didn't restrict him. Occasionally, when he wanted to come over, he would politely say a few words to Du Wei.
After traveling west for another two days, in the evening, the two were walking on the road in the wilderness, but they already missed the town where they were supposed to stay. This can't be blamed on Du Wei.
Of the two, one was a high and mighty Shaman King, he might not come down from the mountain even once in ten years. The other was a noble Duke. In the past, when he went out, these kinds of things were taken care of by his subordinates. Why would Du Wei care about these trivial matters? As a result, the two rode on the road in the afternoon and missed the place where they were supposed to stay. It wasn't until the sun started to set that the two suddenly reined in their horses and looked at each other.
At this moment, the two monsters, one big and one small, suddenly seemed to have a strange tacit understanding. They looked at each other and smiled. Du Wei sighed: "It seems that we will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't bring a tent."
Bai River Sorrow lightly said: "That's nothing. I live on a snowy mountain where a drop of water turns into ice. I also sit on a snowy bee all year round. "
With that, the two of them dismounted from their horses and found a slightly flatter spot on the side of the road to set up camp.
It was the cold winter season. The further northwest they went, the colder the weather became. After Du Wei started the fire, he looked at the dark clouds in the distance and smiled bitterly. "I hope it doesn't rain tonight."
Bai Hechou didn't care at all. He sat down next to the fire and patted the dust off his clothes. He grabbed a thick stick from the side and used it as a pillow before lying down.
He was the Shaman King, and Du Wei was now his captive. Du Wei did not expect this shaman king to have the virtue of 'treating captives well'.
He had been riding the horse for a whole day, his back was sore and his legs were aching. He felt like his body was about to fall apart. Now that he was hungry, he didn't expect Bai Hechou to make him anything to eat. Along the way, he didn't see Bai Hechou take the initiative to eat anything. Could it be that this guy doesn't need to eat or drink? Wouldn't that make him an immortal?!
Du Wei sighed and searched the surrounding wasteland for a while. After getting along with him for two days, Du Wei understood Bai Hechou's temperament. This person's temperament was really lazy, and he didn't seem to care about anything. Although Du Wei was his captive, he didn't care as long as he stayed within a few hundred meters of Bai Hechou. There was even one time when Du Wei went out to find something to eat. After walking for a long time, Du Wei couldn't see Bai Hechou anymore. At that time, Du Wei was really tempted and wanted to take the opportunity to escape. But as soon as he thought about it, he felt a chill on his back. A fierce murderous aura tightly locked onto him! At that time, Du Wei sighed and gave up the idea.
At this time, it wasn't difficult to find food in the surrounding area.
After all, it wasn't the first time Du Wei was a captive. In the past, he was captured by White Robe Gandorf to the Frozen Forest in the North. Compared to that, following Bai Hechou was much more comfortable than following White Robe Gandorf. At the very least, this Mr. Bai Hechou wouldn't use a magic puppet to make him slap his own mouth.
Du Wei dug out a few groundhog burrows in the wilderness. During the winter, these snakes and rats were hibernating. As long as he could find the location of their burrows, it wouldn't be difficult to catch them.
After a while, Du Wei caught two fat groundhogs and a colorful snake and returned. Sitting next to the fire, he cut open their bellies, skinned them, and cleaned them with water from his leather bag. After that, he found two sticks, skewered the groundhogs, and roasted them over the fire. After thinking for a while, Du Wei took out a big pot from his storage ring.
This big pot wasn't used for camping and barbecuing. It was a tool used by magic potioneers to concoct magic potions. But at this moment, Du Wei was planning to use it to make a pot of snake soup.
It must be said that Du Wei's culinary skills weren't top notch, but after all, he was born in China in his previous life. Chinese food was famous all over the world. Even a simple home-cooked dish would have a unique flavor, and it was very different from the food of the people of the Roland Continent. In the past, when Du Wei was taken to the Frozen Forest by White Robe Gandorf, that old man praised Du Wei's culinary skills. At this moment, Du Wei repeated the same trick. After a while, the fire was filled with a fragrant aroma. The two barbecued groundhogs were roasted by Du Wei until they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The aroma of barbecued meat mixed with the smell of seasoning floated to Bai Hechou's nose.
Although Bai Hechou was the Witch King of the Snow Mountain, with his temperament and cultivation, he had spent his whole life on the pursuit of power. He never even thought about the desire for good food. Moreover, the Snow Mountain was a world of ice and snow, so how could there be anything delicious? Even if it was meat or vegetables, once it reached that kind of place, it would immediately be frozen stiff. How could it be delicious?
At this moment, Bai Hechou was lying there, but the aroma he smelled was actually more enticing than anything he had ever tasted in his life. He couldn't help but sit up and look at Du Wei, his eyes full of curiosity.
Du Wei was completely focused on the pot of snake soup. At this moment, the pot was boiling over the fire for a while, and the soup was bubbling. Du Wei casually picked up a branch, peeled off the book cover, and dipped it in the soup. After tasting it, he couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
Looking back, he saw Du Wei's curious eyes. Du Wei's heart moved as he smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, come and try it together. In this world, there are no more than five people who can eat the food that I, Du Wei, personally make."
After that, he took a skewer of barbecued groundhogs and handed it over. Bai He Chou didn't hold back and took a bite, but he was immediately scalded by the heat. He lived in the Snow Mountain all his life. Before becoming a Shaman King, he spent most of his time training on the Snow Wasp. If he was thirsty, he would drink a few mouthfuls of snow water, and if he was hungry, he would stuff some cold food into his mouth. He rarely came in contact with delicious food. Now that he took a bite, he felt a little embarrassed.
Du Wei saw this peerless powerhouse, even in the face of a Saint, he might not be able to injure him. But at this moment, he was almost scalded by a skewer of barbecued meat. Du Wei couldn't help but laugh. Bai Hechou grabbed the skewer of barbecued meat and looked at it. After thinking about it for a moment, he probably felt that the temperature was too high. Suddenly, he frowned and raised a finger, gently scratching the barbecued meat.
With a sizzling sound, Du Wei's eyes widened. He was dumbfounded as he saw a wisp of Battle Qi shoot out from Bai Hechou's fingertip, instantly freezing the hot barbecued meat. Bai Hechou didn't care, he opened his mouth and took a bite, but then he frowned and said, "How come it doesn't taste good when it's cold?"
Du Wei originally wanted to laugh when he saw this, but looking at White River Sorrow in front of him, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a trace of pity for this heaven-defying powerhouse ….
This pity was a bit absurd. Bai Hechou's strength was many times higher than Du Wei's, why would he feel pity for him? It's just that Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw White River's dazed expression … …
Everyone really didn't know the hardships of others! Looking at Bai Hechou's earth-shattering strength, he was almost invincible in the continent … But for someone like him, did he really have any joy in life?
He was indeed standing at the peak of strength in this world, but the price he had to pay for it was really a pity.
There were all kinds of pleasures in life, food, clothing, shelter, he probably didn't get to enjoy even a little bit in his life.
With such a life, even if you cultivate to a heaven-defying level, what's the point of that?
Thinking up to here, Du Wei couldn't help but sigh, the ridicule in his heart towards Bai Hechou also disappeared. After smiling, he blew on the skewer in his hand and handed it over, "Mister Bai probably hasn't eaten this kind of thing before, but this thing can't be frozen. I'll grill your skewer again, you can eat mine first. This time, don't use your Battle Qi to freeze it, just hold it in your hand for a while and wait for it to cool down a little."
Bai Hechou took the skewer from Du Wei and turned it in his hand, but then he shook his head, "Wait for it to cool down? This thing is so hot right now, if I wait for it to cool down, I'll have to wait for a while. Sigh … … I've spent almost every second of my life cultivating, eating is a race against time for me. When I have something to eat, I immediately stuff it into my stomach to fill it up, where would I find the time to wait for it to cool down? If I have to do this every time I eat, I don't know how much time I'll waste. "
Hearing this, Du-Wei was left speechless. Thinking for a moment, he carefully asked: "Mr. White, then in your opinion, is your kind of life where you forget to eat and sleep and blindly practice really happy?"
Bai Hechou was silent for a while after hearing this question, then he shook his head and whispered, "I … … I don't know, I've never thought about it. I only know that I want to be strong, the stronger the better. That's what I'm after. "
After that, the two of them remained silent, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
After all, in the wilderness, winter nights were still very cold. After a while, the hot skewer cooled down a little. Although it was still hot, it wasn't too hot. Bai Hechou took a bite and smiled, "You're right, it's much better to eat like this."
Du Wei also laughed. At this moment, the relationship between the two was no longer that of a captive and a captive. Instead, it was more like they were friends.
Bai Hechou's appetite was huge. The two skewers were eaten by him alone. When Du Wei handed him a bowl of snake soup, he took a sip and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Good taste! This is even better than the barbecue. "
Du Wei saw him drinking so happily and didn't have the heart to compete with him. After drinking a bowl of snake soup, he was half full and didn't eat anything else.
After finishing his meal, White River Sorrow looked at Du-Wei and smiled. Suddenly, his tone became very sincere: "This meal is the most comfortable I've had in the past few decades. Speaking of which, I want to thank you. "
Du Wei didn't expect this fierce person to be so polite to him. Bai Hechou said, "I, Bai Hechou, don't want to owe anyone anything. Since you've treated me to this delicious meal, I want to repay you. Speaking of which, if you want me to let you go, that's absolutely impossible. Let me tell you, that magic beast pet is very useful to me. I absolutely can't give it up. But other than that, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I'll fulfill one of your requests. "
Pausing for a moment, he suddenly smiled indifferently, "Do you have any enemies in your life that are difficult to deal with? Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to return to the Snow Mountain. Tell me, if I have enough time, I'll immediately help you kill him. It's not a difficult matter. "
Bai Hechou's words were spoken with a tone of disdain for the world. However, with his strength, he did have the qualifications to say such arrogant words! Bai Hechou's ability can be said to be number one in the world. Du Wei has already thought about it, among all the experts he knew, there was no one who could be his opponent. Even the reclusive Pope in the Shrines, in Du Wei's opinion, was at most on the same level as Gandorf. Most likely, he wouldn't be Bai Hechou's opponent.
If he says he wants to kill someone, then he's a man of his word.
Listening to this, Du Wei suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind. How about … I ask him to help me kill that Old dragon? If this peerless expert encountered that Millennium Old dragon, it would certainly be a great battle!
However, this absurd idea only flashed through his mind for a moment. Not to mention whether or not Bai Hechou would be stupid enough to challenge an expert of the same level to a life and death duel just to eat Du Wei's meal … Bai Hechou wasn't that stupid.
Moreover, Du Wei now knew that the Dragons were the line of defense against the Sinners. Killing the Old dragon might be satisfying, but it might not be a good thing.
More importantly, from here to the North, through the frozen forest, and then through the forgotten ice field to reach the Dragons' mountain, it would take at least a few months to complete this round trip. Bai Hechou only had three months to go down the mountain. He just said "if there's enough time", that's why he agreed to help Du Wei kill someone. If it took longer than his time, he would never agree.
Du Wei thought for a moment, but he didn't mention it. Looking at Bai Hechou, Bai Hechou's heart suddenly moved. He smiled and said: "Mister Bai, in your opinion, is there anything a person like me can't achieve?"
Pausing for a moment, Du Wei slowly said: "As a Duke of the empire, I hold great power and respect. What I want to eat, use, and wear, I don't even need to do it myself. My subordinates will naturally get me the best. If I'm a pervert and like women, I only need to move my eyes and thousands of beautiful women will line up in front of me for me to choose from. One's life in this world was nothing more than food, clothing, and shelter. Only by thoroughly enjoying it once would one's life not be in vain. Therefore, I don't have any special regrets. Glory and wealth, good wine, good food, beautiful women, what haven't I enjoyed? The peak of power, I've also tasted it. I've long been satisfied with this kind of life. "
Bai Hechou listened to this and pondered for a while. It was hard to tell what he was thinking. Looking at Du Wei, he said: "You're right, you can indeed be satisfied."
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat as he added another sentence: "Mr. White, when it comes to status, you are the true ruler of the prairie. Even the king of the prairie must look up to your nose. Speaking of which, your status is far higher than mine. It's a pity, in my opinion, although you are invincible, your life is far less exciting than mine. "
Bai Hechou raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Du Wei felt a chill in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he braced himself and said: "Yes! If you think I'm wrong, then I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, then I'll admit I was wrong. How about it? "
Bai Hechou's expression became even more strange: "You ask, I'll listen."
Du Wei took a deep breath and raised a finger: "I have a lover who understands me. I know her and she knows me. It doesn't matter if I'm poor or rich, a duke or a commoner. It doesn't matter if I'm a magician or a commoner. It doesn't matter if I'm a famous magician or someone else's grass. I know that in her heart, she will always love me. No matter what, she will always be with me! Such feelings, such a caring lover, Mr. Bai, have you ever tasted this feeling? "
Bai Hechou was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "No."
Du Wei nodded and raised his second finger: "I was born in a rich family. Since I was a child, I had a father who had high expectations for me, a mother who waited for my kindness and love, and a younger brother who idolized me. When I was young, I had a serious illness. For my sake, my mother knelt in front of the statue of God on a rainy night and prayed for me. Later, without sleep or rest, she took care of my daily life! My younger brother saw me as his god, his idol. He really relied on me and was very attached to me. Our relationship as brothers is very good! Mister Bai, have you ever tasted this kind of familial love? "
Bai Hechou was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "No."
Du Wei sighed and raised a third finger: "I have a good friend who's been through life and death with me. He has outstanding strength and is a hero among men! But we have always trusted each other. Even if one day we have to give our lives to each other, we won't hesitate! He knows my ambitions and I know his dreams! This kind of friendship, may I ask Mister Bai, have you ever tasted it? "
Bai Hechou was silent for a long time before finally shaking his head: "No."
Duwei smiled and raised the fourth finger: "I have loyal subordinates, I know they love me, respect me, regard me as their god, and regard me as their leader! But it's not just because of the iron law! Even if one day I'm no longer a Duke, no longer a person of power, they will still respect me in their hearts! Such a loyal disciple … Mister Bai, do you have one? "
Bai Hechou suddenly smiled and shook his head: "No! I may have a high status in the Snow Mountain, but I know that most of the people here are in awe of my ability. There may not even be half of them who truly respect me. Back then, I seized the position of the Magus King with a thunderous method, and that was also because strength was respected. If one day I don't have this ability, I'm afraid no one will follow me. "
Du Wei wanted to continue, but the smile on Bai Hechou's face became more and more strange. Looking at Du Wei with a pair of cold eyes, he suddenly said: "Duke Tulip, you should know that many years ago, there were people who asked me similar questions!"
Du Wei's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to force a smile: "Oh?"
Nodding his head, Bai Hechou's eyes finally let go of Du Wei and drifted off into the distance. His eyes flashed with a hint of reminiscence as he spoke: "That year on top of the snow mountain, I caught up with Lan Haiyue and Chi Shui Duan and was about to kill them. Lan Haiyue suddenly asked me a few questions, and the words he said were similar to what you are saying today. Humph … Lan Haiyue is indeed very smart, and his mind is also very fierce. He knows that the two of them are not my opponents, but he still tried to use such words to sway my mind! But what kind of person am I, Bai Hechou, is? How can I be swayed by such simple words? So … … "
Turning his head to Du Wei, he sneered: "Du Wei, you are saying these words to me, your intention is the same as Lan Haiyue's, right? But you don't need to waste your time, these kinds of words are useless against me. Back then, Lan Haiyue thought he was smart, and tried to use such words to sway my mind, but the result was that I became angry and wanted to kill him! My temperament is not good, even if I regret it later, but if you really angered me, I will kill you first. Do you understand? "
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "Alright, I won't say anymore."
Bai Hechou smiled faintly, rolling up his sleeves, he shot out a flame towards the middle of the fire. Immediately, the flames rose and the temperature warmed up a lot. Lying down on the ground, Bai Hechou said: "Alright, don't say anything more, go to sleep! If you say you don't have the strength tomorrow, don't blame me for being impolite. "
Sitting there, Du Wei felt even more helpless. He can't help but secretly scold himself for being stupid. What kind of character was this Bai Hechou? If he could really sway his mind with such words, then he wouldn't be Bai Hechou!!
Feeling depressed, Bai Hechou lay down and slept.
In the middle of the night, the sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds and strong winds. Du Wei rolled over and sat up. Looking at the sky, he bitterly smiled: "I really have a crow's mouth. I was hoping it wouldn't rain, but it did!"
Suddenly, Bai Hechou turned over and glanced at Du Wei, then closed his eyes and coldly said: "Ignorant boy, it's not going to rain, it's going to snow. I live in the snowy mountains all year round, I know the signs of snow the best. "
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "You're still in a good mood? No matter if it rains or snows, we can't spend the night here. Hurry up and get up … I see a mountain in front of us, maybe we can find a cave to spend the night."
Bai Hechou smiled and said: "You just sleep, it's fine."
Since he said so, Du Wei had no choice but to lie down. But after a while, he felt a cold wind blowing, and then snowflakes falling from the sky.
As soon as the snow fell, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. Although Du Wei was a Magician, his spiritual force was strong, but his body wasn't strong to the point of being abnormal. He couldn't help but feel cold, shivering. Getting up, he took out a Magician's robe from his storage ring and put it on.
But after waiting for a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and looked at the sky, he couldn't help but be stunned!
It turned out that the sky was filled with snow, but the place where he and Bai River Sorrow were lying down was covered in a faint golden light. No matter how hard the wind and snow blew, not a single snowflake would fall! Bai River Sorrow's eyes lit up as he stared at Bai River Sorrow. Bai River Sorrow, Bai River Sorrow, Bai River Sorrow
Du Wei knew that this was Bai Hechou's trick, and couldn't help but sigh … Using magic as an umbrella, it wasn't impossible for Du Wei to do such a thing … But ordinary powerhouses, no matter how strong, wouldn't waste their magic power to do such a boring thing. Only a freak like Bai Hechou would waste his magic power to do such a thing.
What he didn't know was that Bai Hechou had spent his entire life cultivating in the snowy mountains, often sitting in the open. Even when the wind and snow fell, Bai Hechou had always been like this, but he refused to move from his spot. This kind of cultivation was actually the best way to increase a person's potential!
Cold and unable to sleep, Du Wei simply wrapped himself in his coat and sat there. He couldn't help but look at Bai Hechou, his heart moved, and a question came to his mind, "Mister Bai, I have a question to ask you."
"Speak." Bai Hechou's back was facing Du Wei, only replying with this one word.
"You said those words, Lan Haiyue also said them to you. You said those words again, not only did it not shake your will, it only made you angry enough to want to kill someone. Then why didn't you kill Lan Haiyue back then? "
Bai Hechou was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "These things, didn't Lan Haiyue say them to you? At that time, I hadn't fully comprehended the witchcraft of possession, so I couldn't even use ten percent of my strength. Killing the two of them was a bit difficult. "
Du Wei shook his head: "If it was before I met you, then I would believe it, but now I don't. Mister Bai, although I've only known you for two days, I can see that you are an extremely arrogant person. Although you only had ten percent of your strength at that time, if I really angered you, you would've killed someone even if you were seriously injured! "
Bai Hechou suddenly sat up and turned around to look at Du Wei. In the darkness, his silver hair fluttered in the wind, then he actually grinned: "Humph, it seems you know me very well, don't you?"
Du Wei didn't say anything, he just stared at Bai Hechou.
"There's no harm in telling you." Bai Hechou thought for a moment and smiled, "It's impossible for those words to sway my will. But Lan Haiyue's words to me weren't without effect. Instead, it aroused a trace of curiosity in me. Although I won't be shaken, I won't have any doubts about my ambitions. But the things Lan Haiyue said, I am somewhat interested. Love, friendship, and the like, I don't need to think about them. But as for kinship, that was the biggest reason I let Lan Haiyue go. "
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Du Wei and smiled: "There's one thing you probably don't know. Lan Haiyue is my blood brother. So at that time, my heart softened a little and I didn't kill him. But Lan Haiyue was really smart, he actually forced me to swear an oath that when I kill him in the future, I won't be injured in the slightest, otherwise I won't take his life. "
Du Wei laughed: "This oath, he's taking too much advantage of me. No matter how strong you are, it would be difficult for you to defeat a Saint level powerhouse like him without suffering any injuries. Don't tell me you don't regret making such an oath? "
To Du Wei's surprise, Bai Hechou smiled: "Of course I regret it. I regretted it when I returned to the mountain. "
"… …" Du Wei stared blankly at Bai Hechou, he really didn't expect him to say such a thing.
"But even if I regret it, so what?" Bai Hechou raised an eyebrow and sneered: "What kind of person am I? Since I made an oath, I naturally won't go back on it! How can I, Bai Hechou, do such a thing! "
After answering, Bai Hechou looked at Du Wei: "Today you invited me to dinner, so I'm in a good mood, that's why I said such boring things to you. But now my good mood is almost gone, and my patience is running out. So you better shut your mouth now! From now until dawn, if you say half a word, I will immediately cut off your tongue! I, Bai Hechou, am a man of my word. If you don't believe me, you can try me. "
After saying that, he lay down and went back to sleep.
Du Wei smiled bitterly, but he could only close his mouth tightly.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but have a thought:
Did Lan Hai's words really not shake Bai Hechou's heart? I don't think so! Bai Hechou said he didn't care, but in his heart … … Only he knows what he's thinking.
He may be strong, but in the end, he's still a human!
•
After a night of wind and snow, the wilderness was already covered in a silvery white color.
The branches were covered with silver spikes. Du Wei stood in the snow and jumped a few times to move his hands and feet. It's just that he didn't sleep well last night, coupled with running around for days, his body is a bit weak.
His heart skipped a beat, and he simply took off his outer clothes in the snow. Then, he followed the strange movements of the "Starry Sky Dou Qi" and did it honestly.
The basic movements of the Starry Sky Dou Qi were indeed miraculous. After practicing for a while, Yang Kai felt comfortable all over, and the heat in his body rose up, making him feel refreshed. The soreness and pain in his body were also swept away.
Bai Hechou also got up and watched Du Wei's movements. At first, his face was indifferent, but when Du Wei finished the set twice, his eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of surprise. He couldn't help but let out a "Yi" sound.
Picking up a snowball, Bai Hechou threw it at Du Wei. With a pop, the snowball hit Du Wei's knee. Du Wei's leg went numb, causing him to stagger. When he looked up, Bai Hechou was already in front of him.
"This set of movements … … Where did you learn it from?!" Bai Hechou's expression was serious.
When he asked this question, his expression was cold and calm, but there was an unconcealable eagerness in his eyes!!!
