Chapter 146 (2/2)
Leaving Zhou YiXian and the rest, Ghost Li fleards the south alone for soht sky, under the dark clouds, everywhere was black and heavy, the undulating wild mountains underneath the sky, cold and in solitude, the person in the air also felt empty, lost as to where to head to
Xiao Hui crouching at his shoulder suddenly called out twice, Ghost Li glanced at it, the three eyes before hi, to it, most of the time it was happy It was rare that Ghost Li’s face revealed a hint of sure dropped down, headed for ground
Where he landed was a wild rasses and trees exuberant, shrubs densely packed together, it was hard to find a place to land in the forest, most likely in this wilderness remote place, no one had yet came to this ht hand shook, Soul-absorbing stick flew out from his sleeve, rotated one round below his feet, he did not hear any unusual sounds, the next moment, a radius of six feet from this place, all of the trees, shrubs, brambles suddenly withered down and turned into deadwood
After the Soul-absorbing stick flew back to his hand, Ghost Li clearly felt thin strands of cold air travelling along the black stick Xiao Hui delightfully called out once and jumped down from his shoulder, ran deep into the forest Ghost Li raised his head and watched Xiao Hui’s back figure, ever since from the southern border, especially after Xiao Hui evolved, its appetite becas to eat
The late night, the night breeze blew over fro waves sounds, numerous shadows danced at the saround and closed his eyes, the surrounding shadows brushed past his face, in the darkness, he was as silent as a spirit
After some time, a low roar was heard indistinctly frohtly, opened his eyes but he did not move, and as expected the next moment, a movement from within the shrubs, Xiao Hui had ran back
The sharp annoying brambles to Xiao Hui, was never an issue, many times it had just directly stepped over it, when it came near, Ghost Li saw one of Xiao Hui’s hands was placed at its chest, hugging several wild fruits but the other hand it was dragging behind it, like it was pulling so
Ghost Li felt puzzled, looked behind it and got a shock In the shadows, Xiao Hui see that looked like an anier than Xiao Hui by a lot but Xiao Hui was dragging it easily The next hed and first put the fruits down, then flung its hands and [pong], a large thing slammed in front of it
That was an adult boar, with a huge head, if it was standing, it would even be taller than Xiao Hui, the wild boar’s head had a wound, blood flowing from its body and already dead Ghost Li looked at the wound, saw that it was fresh, paused for a ht it?”
Xiao Hui grinned and at the same time pointed to the boar and then pointed at Ghost Li
Ghost Li sighed, sry”
Xiao Hui scratched its head, its three eyes blinked and then pointed to the wild boar and then at itself Ghost Li could not help but laughed, for a moment the heaviness in his heart lifted, he sht, I’ll help you”
Xiao Hui iht, obviously it knew Ghost Li’s excellent cooking skills and its favourite Ghost Li pulled back his sleeves, his finger like knife, gently sliced on the boar’s stomach and instantly the boar’s thick skin slashed opened, his actions skilled, in a few movements he had skinned the boar, flew up to find a stream and cleaned the meat, made a fire and started to roast
The fire gradually grew stronger, Xiao Hui and Ghost Li’s faces were reflected red by the fire, by then Xiao Hui had already ate finished the wild fruits, its eyes staring at the roasted boar slowly erant ss froain found a shtly on thethe boarthe olden colour appeared on the meat surface, clear oil droplets oozed out frorant smell wafted out
The firelight gently wavered, illu tiny eround and trees The tall forest trees’ shadoavered, as if there ind Ghost Li watched the fire in front of him and sloent off into a trance and Xiao Hui, as salivating while watching the roasted rasped its cheeks, at tiet wood to add into the fire
The still air, perrance
Deep inside the forest, a low cry was suddenly heard, [Hou!]
That cry was deep and forceful, seemed to be very far but still clearly heard from here, a murderous air swiftly pervaded over Ghost Li abruptly shook awake froaze slowly turned deep, watching the direction from where the cry came from Xiao Hui leapt up Ghost Li’s shoulder, its face did not display any fear, also turned to look
[Pi pa] sound frorance intensitfied
Three chi aas the dark forest, the wind above the forest suddenly beca [hu hu] sounds, after that cry there was noits iftly over
Ghost Li’s pupils slightly shrank, his brows knitting tighter
[Pi pa] the other branch also finally burst
Suddenly, the howling wind lost its voice, the entire forest instantly turned silent and not a single sound led with the bra a narrow path for one person
A young htly-coloured silk clothes, with a handso seductive, walked out one step at a ti, as if the surroundings were illuminated because of him Ghost Li did not stand up northis young man
That young htly astonished, “Yi” a sound, said, “Three-eyed spiritual monkey!”
Ghost Li did not speak, Xiao Hui suddenly [zhi zhi] called out, looking like it was furious
Almost at the saain cried out, the only difference was, this ti man
[Hou…] following this deep and powerful roar, behind that coe head rose up slowly, four eyes, two pairs above and below on two sides of its face, as thick as bronze bell Its e, almost as wide as its face, when it opened its mouth, it revealed aout, was even ht fro frorey-black thick skin full of lumps
Ghost Li’s expression finally changed, he unhurriedly stood up, coldly said, “TaoTie?”
Before that young man replied, he assessed Ghost Li and then like he sensed so, turned and looked at TaoTie (note 1) and was stunned, that ferocious beast’s vicious stare right now had greed but its stare was not at Ghost Li or Xiao Hui, instead it was at that roasting boar
The air was filled afting roasted rance
The young hed, spoke to Ghost Li, “Your skills are not bad! I was thinking why TaoTie was being restless, didn’t expect it was being lured by you”
Ghost Li indifferently said, “TaoTie although is an ancient ferocious beast, swift and fierce but has always been greedy, what is one roasted boar”
The young man shook his head, said, “Not so, this TaoTie of ards the usual delicacies, didn’t think that it would actually be this ravenous for this crude-looking grilled meat of yours”
Like what the young man said, TaoTie seemed to especially favour this roasted boar, saliva flowed constantly fros, suddenly a howl, it ju ure and leapt towards the fire Unexpectedly a grey figure flashed, [zhi zhi] angry cries were heard, it was Xiao Hui who had leapt over, blocked in front of the roasted boar
The TaoTie with a [hou] low cry, landed down and revealed itself, its body looked to be bigger than that boar by at least four ti was its neck was extre up, it seemed raise its body up by one fold
Xiao Hui compared to it noas really pathetic but for some reasons, TaoTie seeligent, just that it did not want to part with the delicacy in front of it, roared in a low sound, it expression slowly turning hideous
Ghost Li saw the two beasts facing off each other over the roasted boar, suddenly said, “This boar is still not ready, its flavour also has not reached the opti for?”
His words see lances at hi each other reacted, the TaoTie’s four eyes stared at Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui with its three eyes stared wide opened, the two beasts’ seven eyes stared widely at each other, the next moment, Xiao Hui [zhi zhi] called out to the TaoTie, bared its teeth and then ran back a few steps, sat down on its botto at the boar
The TaoTie’s four eyes following Xiao Hui, when Xiao Hui sat down, this ferocious beast [hou hou] cried out twice, inconceivably slowly cahtly placed it front legs and actually also lay down in front of the fire, just that it could not help but still salivated, it looked very horrible but also somehow comical
That youngthe dirty ground, sat beside the TaoTie, watching Ghost Li, he suished self, didn’t expect you have such tactic, could e nature?”
Ghost Li did not look at him, sat down, his eyes back to the fire, said, “You and me is a chance encounter in the mountains, why do we have to know each other’s name, just a roasted boar, only to fill the stomach”
The young hter bright and clear, startled numerous nocturnal birds
“Well said, well said” He lightly beat his leg, an unexpected appreciation look on his face, said, “What a good fill-the-sto hard for endless days, isn’t just to only fill their stomachs As such, the so-called ‘human’ that you said, isn’t the same as me and this TaoTie and has no diference?”
Ghost Li gently rotated the boar, the fragrance s the TaoTie to ain but not sure if it was because it wanted to taste the delicious food, this beast known for being greedy other than ferocious endured it and at the salared fiercely at it
The fire quietly burned, reflecting on Ghost Li’s face, he slowly said, “Humans still has a difference”
The young man said, “What?”
Ghost Li said, “Love, hate, affection, revenge, hus”
The young s, you killed this boar, you would have known the pain and fear of it, if I kill you, you are like the boar All living things are originally equal, ould there be difference between human and beasts?”
Ghost Li looked up, looked at the young man, said, “There is difference”
The young man’s eyes were stern, said, “What difference?”
Ghost Li said, “My whole life I have one big regret, day and night it is engraved onlike I’m dead but yet I cannot not live Live and yet still will have hope, dead and is like turning your back to affections, a tie, hoould a boar have it?”
[Translator’s note: Sorry I’ well here but it’s too hard for me]
The young man was stunned, the stern look in his eyes slowly receded, follohich a strange look appeared on his face
