Twilight Boundary: Chapter 100 peach picker

Chapter 100 Peach Pickers

Hong Lantern Empress…

Whether it was Grandpa Ninth who carried the jar on his back, the old shopkeeper, or Sister Wu He who was wrapped in dog skin, they all knew very well what the red light in the glance just now represented.

I also knew very well what it was that made me aware of it in that moment, and brought endless pressure, and even Aunt Tan’s resentment was suppressed...

 With a radius of ten miles, of course only the Red Lantern Lady has such majesty.

“You actually invited the Red Lantern Lady to come?”

Grandpa Jiu's laughter turned into surprise before it was even halfway through, and even his voice became a little hoarse. He didn't understand how this man surnamed Wu had been fighting for so long for the blood food. The red light empress?

But he didn’t expect that now, looking in the direction of Zhuangzi, the old shopkeeper also had a look of despair and confusion: “Why would I invite her?”

“If I want to invite her, I’ve waited for so long and done so many things, but for what?”

   …”

I should have invited you earlier, and I don’t understand how the Red Lantern Lady was invited.

Obviously to be on the safe side, I never taught anyone in Zhuangzi how to invite the Red Lantern Lady, and I even put less oil in the lanterns...

 The most important thing is that if the Red Lantern Empress comes, then all of her plans...

“The surname is Wu, shopkeeper Wu…”

Also after this suffocating moment of silence, the Tan'er Cult Master Jiuye suddenly reacted and shouted: "You didn't invite the Red Lantern Lady here, did you?"

“You’re not that stupid. If you alarm her, neither of us will benefit. It’s better to stop fighting and go our separate ways...”

“No big deal, I’ll take half of this blood food each, and leave quickly before she comes over!”

   …”

This proposal sounds like a fantasy.

The two sides have a blood feud, and they are both in conflict with each other. What would happen if they really did this?

But shopkeeper Wu was indeed filled with resentment, and his dead apprentices and clerks were flashing in his mind, but even though he was hating, his heart was really moving. He looked at Grandpa Jiu with fierce eyes, but something suddenly flashed through his heart. something.

 His hatred for Tan'er Cult has never been fake, but now he is really moved.

 Hurry up and leave now?

Or is it really up to the Red Lantern Lady to come over and offer this batch of blood food, saying that she has made atonement for her sins?

 The latter is naturally more stable, but the former makes more money.

 Only he knows the value of this batch of blood food. How many years does it take for him to work for the Red Lantern Society to earn it?

 In addition, although I still have the strength to fight, the substitute is already dead.

Even though I am a third-level New Year's Watcher, I may not be able to withstand Aunt Tan's attack. If we really want to compete, I may not be able to survive until the Red Lantern Lady comes from the village...

At this time, Wu He also took off the dog skin from his head and shouted: "Dad, kill them..."

“You have avenged us, please return the blood and food...”

   …”

“Grandpa Ninth, we should go, otherwise when the red light arrives, we will...”

Several Tan'er Cult members nearby were also shouting. They had just fought for a moment, but they were all seriously injured by the old shopkeeper.

 But even though they shouted so, neither Grandpa Ninth nor the old shopkeeper dared to move.

One is also worried that if he leaves at this time, the shopkeeper surnamed Wu will come up and delay him, which will waste time.

The other one knows that if he takes action again at this time, the Tan'er Cult will fight tooth and nail. Without a substitute, he is afraid that he will not be able to take advantage. Moreover, even if he has delayed his opponent, when the Red Lantern Lady arrives, this batch of blood food will no longer be available. Half of it is not my own...

Thinking about it this way, it turns out that it is divided between two parties, which one is the most profitable?

With a thought in his heart, he turned his head sharply and met the eyes of Grandpa Jiu. The two sides seemed to be reaching an agreement.

"hehe…"

 But at this moment, a cold laughter suddenly sounded from the dark shadow.

  People on both sides held their breath for a moment. They were fighting in full swing just now, but they didn't know when this man came.

 Or maybe she has been waiting there for a long time?

Through the darkness of the night, it was vaguely visible that there seemed to be a figure standing there. She looked like a slender woman, with something squatting on her shoulders. Only a pair of shining eyes could be seen.

The woman sneered, but did not say anything. She just seemed to slowly take out something from her arms, shook it gently, and made a tinkling sound. It turned out to be a bell.

As the bell rang, the porters, who were standing there dullly and had never participated in this fierce fight, began to move slowly. They picked up the poles one by one and picked up the bags of blood food, ignoring the surroundings. The man slowly walked towards the woman...

"you…"

 Leng Buding saw this scene, and everyone in the room actually reacted.

Turning their heads suddenly, Grandpa Jiu and Shopkeeper Wu both saw the confusion on each other’s faces, and then suddenly realized:

“Peach picker?” “…”

There was a life-and-death fight between the two of us, but in the end, someone had been standing by to pick peaches?

Shopkeeper Wu and the Tan'er Cult were all shocked from the bottom of their hearts. They felt a sense of urgency and absurdity, and shouted sharply:

 “Friend, which road are you on?”

But the other party didn't answer, he just stood there quietly, letting the porter pass by, and walked into the night behind him.

Grandpa Ninth and the old shopkeeper of Tan'er Cult were both panicked by this strange figure. They were sure that this person was not the other party's helper, but they found this kind of thing unimaginable.

In their haste, without caring about anything else, the two of them suddenly jumped down and struck hard at the silent figure. They placed one hand on the cracked jar and chanted a spell quickly.

Suddenly, the resentment was deep, wrapped in the night wind, and rolled straight towards the silent figure.

The old shopkeeper also turned over and pulled out a chain dart from the bag. It shook violently, and the strong wind hit her face, and it was nailed to her heart.

Not only the two of them, but also the members of the Tan'er Sect around them also reacted, and at the same time, Aunt Tan's resentment was aroused.

 Suddenly both sides joined forces and attacked this mysterious figure. How dangerous is it?

But the woman standing in the shadows ringing the bell didn't seem to care at all. She stood there quietly, motionless, but the thing with bright eyes on her shoulder suddenly spoke and let out a hoarse and harsh sound. weird meowing.

This scream was so shrill and shrill that it seemed to have invisible pressure in the night. They were both dizzy and unable to move at the same time.

Following the meow, something seemed to explode in the air, and the old shopkeeper's powerful chain dart suddenly flew back.

It turned out to be faster and heavier than when it was thrown out just now, and it hit the old shopkeeper with a swish sound. His body was knocked upside down, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

On the side of the Tan'er Sect, it was even more terrifying. The evil winds swept back, and the jars in their hands exploded one after another. Aunt Tan inside let out a desperate and tragic scream, and immediately turned red. The white ones were scattered all over the floor.

 After only this moment, both Wu Forum's teacher and the old shopkeeper realized how terrifying the other party was.

If both sides were intact, they might still be able to fight. Now that both sides are defeated, how can they still have the courage to fight?

Grandpa Ninth, who taught Taner, his voice was hoarse, and he shouted desperately: "Friend, who are you?"

 “Leave a name so that we can be convinced when we lose?”

   …”

"hehe…"

 But the figure standing in the shadow did not answer, but just gave a low sneer.

The porters had already walked up behind her amidst the ringing of the bells, as if they had disappeared into the night. She also stopped ringing the bells and seemed to turn around to go, but then she seemed to suddenly think of something and actually walked forward.

This move frightened the members of the Tan'er Sect and the old shopkeeper, who all trembled, thinking that she was going to kill someone and silence them, but they didn't expect that she just walked to Wu He and gently raised her hand to take it.

Wu He was also startled, and jumped up to resist, but she didn't see any movement, so he put his delicate fingers on the dog's head.

With a flip of his hand, he tore off a piece of dog skin from Wu He's back.

Wu He felt extremely painful and had closed her eyes to die. Even the old shopkeeper wanted to jump up eagerly, but was suddenly stared at by the strange cat on her shoulder, and she felt that her body was extremely heavy.

But this woman didn't do anything. She just waved a fire and shined it on Wu He's back. She laughed softly and said in a hoarse voice: "It's pitiful. It must be a magic trick to create animals." …”

“However, Tan’er’s method of raising aunt is good, but the art of making animals cannot be mastered.”

“If we can find someone from the Zhao family who is a magic hand, it may not be impossible to cure..."

   …”

After saying that, without caring about anything else, he turned around slightly, and the sound of a bell gradually disappeared into the night.

When I woke up, the person who rang the bell had already lured the porters into the night.

 It comes strangely and goes away quickly.

Everyone in the venue looked at each other, but no one knew what was going on.

Only for a while, shopkeeper Wu suddenly realized what he was doing. He also felt that this mysterious man came suddenly and left quickly, with an indescribable mysterious energy.

  But the truth is that I have no reason to hesitate. The Blood Eater has already left, and the Red Lantern Lady is probably coming soon. The most important thing is that I don’t have a substitute. I just fought with the people of the Tan’er Cult, and I may still be far from the opponent’s opponent...

But now, most of the opponent's jar has been broken, and I have vomited a mouthful of blood, but I still have the strength to fight...

Leng Buding realized this, and he suddenly stared at the Tan'er Cult's people with fierce eyes. The Tan'er Cult's Grandpa Jiu and several surviving gang members also turned violently when the old shopkeeper looked at them. I reacted, and secretly cried out:

 “This old boy is going to be silenced…”

 “Children, let’s work hard…”

   …”

There was another fierce fight, and the mysterious man had already disappeared.
