Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 372 Lan: I want to play too!

For Yunzhi, continuing to fool Hulei here is quite interesting.

For Lan, the wait was quite long even when the outcome was already known.

For Moze at this moment, it was quite exciting.

Trusting Zhenjun, he boldly approached Bu Liren's hiding place, thrillingly monitoring their movements right under Hu Lei's nose.

Yun Zhiyi had already noticed the child sneaking over.

Hu Lei naturally noticed it as well.

At this moment, the cannons on the Jingfeng ship began to roar, and the starship was about to set sail.

Modu was a little anxious:

"Damn it, that starship is about to set sail. The Sky Ship Bureau will clear all the shipping lanes then. If our starship tries to escape..."

"You shouldn't have pinned your hopes on the shipping route in the first place. There are countless immortal caves and grottoes in Luofu, but they can block the shipping route in no time."

"Daji" mocked Modu without hesitation:

"What did that prophet you mentioned say again? Two hours to run? She's stupid, and you, as the strategist, aren't much better."

Hu Lei was quite disappointed with Mo Du.

However, as a descendant of Dulan who was willing to risk his own life to save him, Hulei couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

He simply rebuked:

"Calm down, Mordu. Look at Daji. He's a wolf, but he has more dignity than you!"

Modu glared at "Daji" and said anxiously:

"As long as you can return to your people, there's still hope! Even if this kid really becomes the leader, so what? We've never seen him before today; how can he command respect?"

"He dared to stand before me and say he wanted to become the leader of the war effort; that makes him stronger than all of you combined!"

Hu Lei shouted sternly:

"Powerful beasts carve their own path with blood. Instead of choosing a new master, you only seek the protection of the strong. How foolish!"

"Even a junior like you knows that the era of this old wolf is over, yet you are so short-sighted as to place your hopes on me. It is truly disappointing."

Hu Lei kept praising "Daji," and Yun Zhi felt that she had put on a very successful act.

It wasn't really pretending, was it...?

After all, the idea of ​​becoming the leader of the battle and then sending all the Bu Li people to their deaths was indeed still present in his mind.

"Although the wolf pack isn't here, it's easy for the leader to start a fight if he wants to."

"Daji" shrugged and offered a casual suggestion.

Despite being preoccupied with numerous lawsuits, Sudu was still quick to rebuke "Daji" for his reckless behavior:

"You know the wolves aren't here; starting a fight rashly will be disadvantageous for us!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? A wolf has broken into a flock of sheep, and you're saying the sheep are a threat to us?"

"But--"

"That's enough!"

Hurei had had enough of these two wolf-born foes who were always arguing. He turned around and looked up at the sky:

"The wolves aren't here? Wherever I go, there are wolves!!!"

In the darkness of the night, Hu Lei turned and walked toward a fox-person who had been captured by Bu Liren.

"No, please, please—"

Ignoring the fox-man's cries and pleas for mercy, he opened his blood-red maw and bit down without hesitation—

Blood splattered onto the wall, leaving a cruel arc in its wake.

Hu Lei stood up.

The fox-people have transformed into the Buli people, who are covered in thick fur.

He let out a long howl at the moon.

The wolf soldiers, their ferocity ignited by the blood, revealed a cruel smile on Modu's face.

Daji's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled calmly.

While mentally assessing the situation—Lan, that kid, has overdone it.

His facial muscles were so stiff just now. If it hadn't been so late and Hu Lei hadn't been so oblivious, he would have easily given himself away.

He noticed Yunzhi's gaze.

Lan—the Imperial Bow Master, the fox spirit imprisoned in the house behind her and captured by Bu Liren as food supplies—strives to maintain Bu Liren's demeanor and expression.

I should be glad I didn't use my true form, otherwise I should have shot myself right now.

Now that I'm here, I can't just stand by and watch the people of the Immortal Ship be killed. The Ten Kings' Division is an exception, since they're all dead, but the children of the mortal world are different.

"Is this also one of the War Chief's abilities?"

"Daji" began with great interest:

"That's really interesting."

"It's just a tiny, insignificant amount of power."

Hu Lei looked at Bu Liren in the courtyard:

"As wolves, we are the creators of fear, not their slaves! If you cannot see the road ahead, I will become the high-hanging crimson moon, illuminating your path!"

Ah, that's well said.

Yun Zhi and the wolf soldiers behind Hu Lei nodded in agreement.

The Immortal Boat Alliance followed the Emperor's Bow and Arrow in their search for the future, while the Wolf Pack was guided by the Crimson Moon.

...So we have to take down the Crimson Moon first, so that these Bu Li people will be completely in the dark.

"Together with all my brothers, share my crimson blood, use it to infect the fox-people, use it to create fear!"

With Hu Lei's mobilization, the wolf soldiers were eager to move.

He truly deserves to be called a leader who appears only once in ten thousand years among the people of Buli...

Hu Lei, you're so handsome.

Yun expressed his approval of this.

So you can't go back alive.

That's the key point.

"You hiding shadow, show yourself!"

With a sharp shout, the surrounding wolf soldiers all took a half step back.

Yun Zhikui remained unmoved, but turned his eyes to look behind him.

Moze appeared without hesitation.

He knew very well whether Hu Lei was bluffing him or not. The wolf soldiers had an excellent sense of smell, and the fact that he hadn't been discovered despite being so close was purely due to the True Lord's blessing.

—It's obvious that the True Lord doesn't intend to protect him.

"He is General Yaoqing's bodyguard, and his ability to hide is quite good."

"Daji" gave a compliment.

Hu Lei scoffed at this:

"A reckless and foolish boy."

If you were smart, you wouldn't be able to get this close.

"Daji" opened his mouth with a smile:

"Since you're General Yaoqing's guard, why don't you pass on a message for me?"

There's an indescribable feeling of nausea... Is it just my imagination?

Fortunately, Maekawa was expressionless, so you couldn't read any expression from his face.

Hu Lei twitched his lips, but didn't say anything, seemingly pleased with the outcome.

"Although I don't think your general would compete with me, since the commander thinks she's suitable, I'll issue a challenge."

"Daji" had a wide smile, but his cunning expression sent a chill down one's spine.

"I will await her arrival aboard the Competition Ship. If she does not come, then, Crimson Moon—"

The fox-man youth glared at Hu Lei with murderous intent in his eyes:

"I will gladly accept it."

It doesn't matter what the current owner of the Crimson Moon thinks; anyway, Hu Lei is doomed, so there's no need to care.

Hu Lei himself really didn't care.

However, he had some reservations about what "Daji" said.

"Fool, such a weak challenge only reveals your ignorance to her!"

Hu Lei turned towards the Moze, strode forward, and spoke in a booming voice:

"She won't compete with you for the Crimson Moon, but she must be responsible for the people of the Immortal Ship—just as I must be responsible for the bloodline of Dulan."

"Boy, tell your general that from this moment on, I will lead my wolf pack to slaughter our way through Luofu! We will feed on the followers of the Demon Bow!"

At this moment, Lan behind Hu Lei: ......

Don't worry about it, you have already fed on the Demon Bow Ancestor.
