Beastmaster

Chapter 178: Civil and Military Brothers

"You... who are you..." one of the "puppets" said timidly.

The voice was trembling as if he would be frightened to death at any time, and the other person fainted from fright.

Jing Cangming was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. They were beast generals, so was this the limit of their psychological endurance?

"Come on, explain to me first, why the aura on you seems to be that of a ferocious beast general, but actually it seems not to be a ferocious beast general?" Jing Cangming clasped his hands leisurely, looking sideways at the villagers in front of him who were floating in the air and being squeezed and controlled by the atmosphere.

Before Jing Cangming got an answer, he smelled an unpleasant odor.

After looking him up and down, they discovered that this conscious man had actually urinated. The boiling hot urine quickly condensed into ice in the low temperature environment and froze on his trouser legs.

Although it has solidified, the color...the taste...is truly beyond words.

Jing Cangming raised his hands and fanned himself twice, and immediately felt the air became much fresher.

The man no longer cared about his face. Saving his life was the most important thing at this moment.

The man trembled as he spoke, as if the words were very hot, "I...we...we were originally...ordinary people...and then...afterwards...we practiced...a...secret method...and then...we were able to...awaken..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming’s eyes widened and then he fell into deep thought.

So that's why. No wonder they have blood and energy, but they always feel different from Tu Li. It turns out that they are also "puppets" from foreign countries.

Jing Cangming folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at the man with interest, "Come on, tell me, how many people in your village became beast generals in this way?"

The man quickly said, "Just...just the two of us."

"Oh? Don't you know how many innocent people will be sacrificed in order to become a general against the will of heaven?" Jing Cangming's voice suddenly became full of hostility.

The temperature in the northern continent was already low that night, and coupled with Jing Cangming's cold voice, this "puppet" man felt that life was worse than death.

Although Jing Cangming was extremely reluctant, this guy's trembling voice made it sound really strenuous.

So, Jing Cangming had no choice but to light a fire under the man's feet so that he could speak more fluently.

As the temperature in the area rose, the man's trembling body did feel better, but as the temperature rose, the frozen urine melted, and then an unpleasant smell swept over again.

"I'm really convinced," Jing Cangming complained, but he had no way to solve this problem. He could only ask and leave quickly after asking.

"We don't actually want this to happen, but there's nothing we can do. Ji Feng is such a ruthless person."

"Oh? You practice such evil things and you blame others?" Jing Cangming said with some surprise.

The man's face suddenly turned serious, probably hoping that this would make his words more credible.

"Sir, this Ji Feng was not originally from our village, but he just took over our village!"

Jing Cangming frowned slightly. In fact, he was still a little skeptical about what this person said, but there was no way to confirm it now, so he had to continue listening, "Go on."

"The chief of our village is indeed called Ji Feng, but not this Ji Feng. This person killed our village chief, then disguised himself as the village chief and entrenched himself in our village, doing all kinds of evil!"

"But how do you know that this person is not your village chief?" Jing Cangming couldn't help but become interested.

Putting aside other things, I have heard of this disguise, but I have never seen it.

"This Ji Feng must be fake! The two of us have always been the left and right guards of the village chief Ji Feng, responsible for protecting the village chief's safety, but! But our village chief is not a beast general at all! What's more, this fake Ji Feng asked us to call him the leader. The previous village chief was very gentle. Even though our village was not so peaceful, at least we were harmonious and united. Since this guy came, our village has not had a single day of peace!"

"Did he also bring those ferocious beasts in the stable?"

"Yes! That's right, he caught those people in the trough and fed them to the ferocious beasts!" As he said this, an expression of horror and fear on this guy's face was hard to conceal.

Although Jing Cangming was not sure whether what the person in front of him said was true or false, there was indeed a person in the trough in the stable!

"Go on," Jing Cangming said with a frown.

"Originally, there were fifty or sixty households in the village, but since the fake one came, he started killing the villagers. He killed anyone who disobeyed him to serve as a warning to others. Gradually, no one dared to resist him. Whatever he said was the truth. The village chief has been my eldest brother since childhood, so after he became the village chief, we two were very supportive. But now his life or death is uncertain, we two have to protect the village and the villagers."

There were tears and anger in the man's eyes, and Jing Cangming was really moved by what he said.

"Then one day, a hunchbacked, skinny old man suddenly appeared in front of us and tried to negotiate with us. He asked us to offer them living people every month, and he would let us become beast generals and thus be able to defeat that guy."

"So you kill people in exchange for your own abilities? And now you're still talking so righteously?!" Jing Cangming said angrily.

The man waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, we two have never killed anyone!"

"Oh? ~ Doesn't the Corpse Bone Method rely on the essence, blood and flesh of living people to practice?"

"Ah? Corpse Bone Method? No, what we two are practicing is called Beast Corpse Method. We can practice it by sucking the blood and flesh of animals. There are the most snow rabbits around us, and their general strength is not very strong, so we two can practice so fast."

"Beast Corpse Technique?" Jing Cangming thought about it again and again. This was the first time he had heard of the Beast Corpse Technique.

However, both the Corpse Bone Technique and the Beast Corpse Technique are evil arts, and according to what this guy just said, he must be the envoy from that foreign country. However...the Beast Corpse Technique is more acceptable than the Corpse Bone Technique.

Jing Cangming shook his head when he thought of this. How could I think like that? Animals also have feelings and parents, just like humans!

"Okay, I roughly understand, but the question is, how can I trust you?"

"Sir! You can go to the village and ask the villagers. They can all testify for us!" the man said hurriedly.

At this moment, another man who had been unconscious also began to wake up in a daze.

His body twitched for a few times, and then he opened his eyes and saw that his brother was actually chatting with this scary guy.

Jing Cangming quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't be afraid first."

The man was still trembling all over, with cold sweat constantly pouring out of his forehead, but it quickly turned into ice crystals in the low temperature.

The man who had been communicating with Jing Cangming hurriedly explained to the other man, and the man felt better.

Then Jing Cangming asked the man who had just woken up, but it seemed as if this man had colluded with the man just now, and the words he said were exactly the same.

This made Jing Cangming more convinced of their words. Jing Cangming waved his hand and dispersed his skills, allowing the two to land.

The first man happened to fall onto the fire and immediately screamed, "Ahh! Whoosh! Whoosh! It's so hot!"

Jing Cangming waved his hand somewhat embarrassedly to help him put out the fire on his body.

After the fire was extinguished, the clothes on the man's buttocks were almost burned, and the snow-white buttocks and the snow-covered northern continent echoed each other.

The man's face turned red immediately, and then Jing Cangming started a fire among the three of them.

After a deeper understanding, we found out that the two were uncles and brothers. The first man was named Yi Wen and was the older brother, and the man who woke up later was named Yi Wu and was the younger brother.

Jing Cangming was immediately impressed. One is a scholar and the other is a warrior? That's quite interesting.

The two said that if Jing Cangming didn't believe it, he could sneak into Ji Feng's house and take a look, because this guy would reveal his original appearance when he slept at night.

This was discovered by the two brothers during an accidental patrol. From that time on, they became more certain that the person in front of them was not their village chief at all!

Jing Cangming stood up and patted the snow off his body. "Do you know how strong this guy is?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Yi Wen said, "We don't know his exact strength, but he is definitely stronger than us. This guy is a real beast general and has a contracted beast. So even though both of us are over level 40, we still dare not act rashly."

Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Let's go, take me to meet him. But let me make it clear, if I can defeat him, it will help your village get rid of its troubles. If I can't, I will definitely turn around and leave."

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry and fear. If Jing Cangming couldn't win and just turned around and left, the whole village would definitely die. But... if he could win, wouldn't the village be relieved?

The two were still hesitating because they couldn't gamble the lives of the entire village with the child in front of them.

Jing Cangming was a little impatient, "Do you need it? If not, I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Yi Wen said hesitantly, "If you fail, everyone in the village will definitely die."

Yi Wu also said, "Yes, hero! The lives of the entire village are at stake!"

Jing Cangming then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back to sleep. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

It just so happened that Jing Cangming was unwilling to meddle in this matter, as it had nothing to do with him, but... Jing Cangming finally softened his heart.

He stopped, turned around and looked at the Wenwu brothers, revealing a reassuring smile, "Let's go, if you can't win, I will find a way to save everyone."
