chapter 133
The moment the flute music started, everyone couldn't help but tremble.
They instinctively assumed that the flute in Lu Yu's hand was just a weapon of this monster, probably a sword, and that it was used because it was convenient.
But then this strange flute music suddenly rang out, and everyone realized with alarm that it wasn't what they expected.
Xu Guo stood there dumbfounded. "That book doesn't mention anything about the use of the deer feather flute?"
Meng Youcheng pondered for a moment...
"Now we'll split into two groups. Fu Lian and I will go to the city wall and see what he's up to. Xu Guo... and you warriors, go to the camp right now and check on Xu Shunming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone followed his instructions and split into two groups.
Lu Yu's target is Xu Shunming. As long as he doesn't go out, even if the monster breaks the flute, it won't make any difference!
Don't forget, the character Meng Youcheng obtained in the dungeon is the strongest being in this world!
It's highly unlikely that we'll be able to break free of the handcuffs and fight back; in any case, there's no chance of an unexpected defeat.
Fu Lian and he ran towards the city wall one after the other. When they reached the top, the warriors guarding the wall quickly came down, bowed, and said, "Major General, Lu Yu... has appeared. What should we do now?"
Beneath the city wall, the monster with a human body and deer legs, two large antlers on its head, and holding a long flute, blowing out a piercing sound, suddenly looked up and glanced at the city wall.
They didn't stop; they continued playing.
As soon as Fu Lian saw him, he quickly stepped onto the city wall, just about to leap down...
Meng Youcheng, who was standing next to him, suddenly grabbed him...
The boy was confused. "What are you doing? This is a golden opportunity! I'm going to fucking go down there and beat him to death!"
Meng Youcheng kept his eyes fixed on the monster below the city wall and said, "He hasn't set up a barrier yet, so going down won't help. Let's see what he's up to."
"But……!"
The man glanced back at him. "You can't do anything if you go down. You might as well observe and wait, and not alert him. I have a feeling... there must be a reason he's playing that flute. Listen to me!"
Fu Lian then withdrew his foot.
"I'll listen to you..."
For about fifteen minutes, Meng Youcheng and Fu Lian remained tense, watching the monster intently...
They remained vigilant at all times. Perhaps the music had a hypnotic effect, or perhaps, like sound waves, it could harm the human body. Whatever the reason, they had to be on guard and protect the safety of the people in this area.
but……
Just then, a warrior suddenly shouted, "Look... isn't that our commander?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Youcheng immediately looked in the direction the warrior had indicated...
Xu Shunming walked slowly, like a soulless robot, and appeared in the public eye. He moved very quickly, and in a short while, he arrived at the foot of the city wall...
Fu Lian exclaimed in panic, "Didn't I tell him not to come out? Why is he...?!"
It was at this moment that everyone noticed something was wrong.
Xu Shunming actually walked through the city gate below without opening it, as if there was no gate at all, and walked past as if nothing had happened!
Meng Youcheng suddenly realized, "It's not the physical body! It's the soul! That's why the tune he just played... could draw out a person's soul!"
Xu Shunming passed through the city gate and came to Lu Yu. A green circular barrier immediately condensed and once again enveloped the commander.
At that moment, Xu Shunming shook his head as if he had just woken up...
"How could I...?!"
Lu Yu interrupted him, "According to the agreement, you should be here at 10 PM every five nights. You broke your promise today, which is considered a breach of contract. What kind of punishment do you want?"
Xu Shunming stared in horror at the monster before him, swallowing hard and forcing a smile. "How...how did I end up here?"
"If I hadn't lured you out with that seductive song, would you not have wanted to play tonight?"
Lu Yu raised his flute. "That won't do. I haven't even eaten you yet, how can you stop fighting?"
The monster stared ahead at Xu Shunming. "I'll give you three seconds to draw your sword and have a good fight with me. Let me slowly ravage your body. I want to see you suffer and hear your agonizing screams. Only then can I feel good."
Xu Shunming touched the sword at his waist, his fingers trembling...
Lu Yu watched him take a few steps, his hooves leaving four footprints in the sand. "If you misbehave today, I'll leave you with even more holes, to pierce your body, okay? My antlers will leave countless holes in your body, how about that?"
The commander swallowed hard. "I'm not afraid of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sharp blade and swung it down...
They were about to start fighting...
Fu Lian could no longer hold back and jumped off the city wall...
"You fucking bastard! I'll beat you to death today!"
This time, Meng Youcheng did not stop him.
Everything was beyond expectations, but for now, it seems that leaving Fu Lian is the best course of action. Even if they don't catch him, it won't be a big deal; at least they've prevented the two from fighting...
Moreover, with so many warriors stationed in the city, he had no need to fear the monster's retaliation.
but……
Fu Lian couldn't get in at all!
The green barrier was like a hard rock; no matter how the boy struck it, he couldn't break it, and not even a crack appeared.
Why is this happening?
Just then, Xu Guo ran over from the camp, panting, and said, "Major General, something bad has happened! The commander-in-chief... I don't know what's wrong, we can't wake him up no matter what we do. It seems like..."
The lieutenant glanced down from the city wall and caught sight of Xu Shunming's soul. He then added incredulously, "It's like he has no soul."
Three seconds later, he snapped out of his shock, his face paling. "What's going on? Could it be that the tune that monster played could pull out souls?!"
Meng Youcheng didn't answer the question, but instead turned to look at him, "Why can't Fu Lian get through that barrier?"
Xu Guo shook her head. "I don't know either..."
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, "Perhaps once that barrier is formed, people outside won't be able to get in at all. It's like an arena where no matter how strong you are, as long as you weren't inside before the barrier was formed, you won't be able to open it."
Meng Youcheng was stunned...
At first, he thought his plan was foolproof, but now it seems they know very little about this monster, so no matter what plan they devise, it is very likely to be defeated.
What should we do now?
Fu Lian pounded on the barrier with all his might, roaring weakly, "Fuck your mother! Get the fuck away from him!"
Deer Feather's antlers pierced through Xu Shunming's body once more, and blood once again flowed across the ground...
Before the commander could utter a sound, Lu Yu suddenly pulled out the antlers, and while the commander was shouting, he forcefully pierced the antlers through the commander's chest again...
The wounds kept piercing through, not content with the old ones, and began to create new ones. Xu Shunming had no chance to catch his breath, and even screaming in pain became a luxury.
His eyelids were heavy, and he could barely open them. Blood was flowing from every corner of his body, and the blood around his mouth had already stained Lu Yu's body...
Blood flowed into his mouth, and Lu Yu forcefully pulled out the antlers again, holding Xu Shunming up with both hands. "Such delicious blood! I really want to wait until that day to be able to devour your flesh and blood..."
Xu Shunming's hearing was clearly impaired, his eyes were blurry, and he wanted to close them...
The antlers found a good spot and pierced through again with force, causing Xu Shunming to wake up in pain...
"I'm going to... kill you."
His voice was so faint it was almost inaudible...
Lu Yu asked provocatively, "What did you say?"
Xu Shunming shakily raised the sword in his hand, "I want... to avenge my brother..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yu lifted his entire body and slammed it forcefully against the barrier...
He crashed onto the green barrier, not thrown off, but limply falling away...
It was also thrown right in front of Fu Lian.
The boy roared weakly, "I fucking told you to let him go, didn't you hear me?! Fuck you! If you have the guts, open this damn barrier and I'll fight you one-on-one!"
Lu Yu ignored him completely, and on his deer hooves, he quickly arrived in front of Xu Shunming...
"You want to avenge your brother, huh?!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly stood up, raised his deer hoof, and forcefully stomped on Xu Shunming...
"Let him avenge him! Let him avenge him! Let him avenge him!"
He stomped on Xu Shunming's body hundreds of times, yelling, "Are you fucking going to get revenge or not?!"
At this moment, the commander was already unconscious, lying on the ground. No matter how much he ravaged his body, he could no longer wake him up.
Lu Yu finally vented all his anger. He took a few steps back, looked at the bloodied body in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, and withdrew the barrier...
Fu Lian had already gone mad. As soon as the barrier disappeared, he jumped up, swung his fist, and slammed it down...
Unfortunately, it was impossible to hit them.
Lu Yu said, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been so badly hurt today."
