Chapter 430: Public Opinion on Hoolay Flips: A Fearsome Yet Honorable Foe!
"Finally, I understand that departure also has value. They pressed the weight of their departure onto the hearts of us, the living, giving us more strength. They used the coin of death to buy back more…"
Jiaoqiu's tone,
went from confused at the very beginning to firm,
and then from firm to resolute!
"This is everything I am doing now, staying closely by your side, only to witness one result with my own eyes: your death…"
"Your death also has value. It will trade for the safety of the Wardance ceremony, and for Feixiao, whom I have cured."
Although this was a plot that had not yet happened in reality,
all the players watching couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Jiaoqiu!
Under such circumstances,
he actually dared to say right to Hoolay's face that he would die!
Just how much courage and guts did that require?
Had Jiaoqiu really put life and death out of his mind?
Confronted with Jiaoqiu's words,
Hoolay actually showed no sign of anger at all.
Instead, he said coldly, "Hmph, the thoughts turning in your pitiful head are exactly as expected."
"You knew all along?" Jiaoqiu asked in surprise.
"Indeed. For no one understands the value death can bring better than the Borisin. And for a healer like you who is used to seeing death, simple terror cannot deter you."
"What a pity. At the moment I finished listening to these stories, a trace of respect for you actually rose in my heart."
…
"Holy crap?"
"This is a high-level matchup!"
"Hoolay: If only this pink-haired fox were my subordinate."
"Oh no, why do I feel like Hoolay is getting cooler and cooler?"
"If I were a Borisin, I would definitely follow such a leader to the death."
"Old Hoolay, hurry up and join the weekly boss roster, I have something to discuss with you."
"No wonder the Borisin could become the great enemy of the Xianzhou in that era. In terms of martial force, they are second only to top-tier existences like Jingliu, and their strategic vision and intellect are also top-notch."
…
Jiaoqiu's current state was very weak.
It seemed the medicine's effect was wearing off.
Amidst the lupine toxin emitted by a group of Borisin,
it was already quite a feat that he could still stand.
Yet he still asked, "In that heart of yours, flowing with toxic blood… can the emotion of respect also arise?"
"Of course, because in a daze, I smelled the scent of a kindred spirit. Unfortunately, you are ultimately just a weak and powerless fox."
"As the ancient wolf proverb says: 'Give a wolf a dead end, and make it find a way forward. Feed a wolf with corpses, and make it fill its belly. Living ignobly yields no place of survival; fighting to the death ensures eternal existence.'"
"This is also why I am temporarily keeping you alive. I will show you the greatest respect of the Borisin toward their enemies:"
"Devour your flesh and blood to nourish our bones, crush your visions, and carve out our hunting path; let your dead souls witness well that the future belongs to me!"
At this moment.
Several cannon salvos that shook the sky came from the background.
Mok Tok's face instantly changed. "It's the Jousting Ship. The starskiff holding the Wardance ceremony is about to set sail. Damn it, the Sky-Faring Commission will clear the sea lanes by then! If our starskiffs want to escape, we will definitely be discovered."
"Calm down, Mok Tok! Look at your current state, hiding here and there, living in constant fear… Where is there any dignity of a Borisin left in you!"
"I said, to ensure your smooth return, I don't need any dignity! As long as you can return to the Borisin pack, there is still hope for everything!"
Hoolay's gaze darkened.
"Hope? The Borisin have long forgotten the ancient wolf proverbs! Weak beasts pin their hopes on the protection of the strong, while strong beasts will tear and fight to carve out a bloody path for themselves!"
"The fact that you now only want to welcome back me instead of deciding on a new leader already proves the decline of the entire race. And that prophet who manipulated you into coming to rescue me is nothing but a liar trying to exploit the bloodline of Father Wolf!"
"Mok Tok, let me tell you how the Borisin rise! We will never hide in the streets and alleys of the Xianzhou like rats. You should be hungry wolves baring your fangs, walking among a flock full of lambs."
Mok Tok showed a look of astonishment.
Originally,
the entire plan was to return to the pack and rebuild their strength.
But now!
Hoolay actually indicated that he wanted to confront the Xianzhou head-on!
He wanted to go on a killing spree in this bustling Xianzhou market?
This…
Even Mok Tok, who was also a Borisin, was shocked.
Not to mention all the players watching!
Outside, three generals and countless masters were waiting for him!
He actually dared to be so arrogant?
However,
Hoolay's next words
gave many players the illusion that Hoolay was the protagonist!
"The pack is not here? No, wherever I go, there is the pack!"
…
"???"
"Holy crap, this line is actually kind of cool."
"He indeed has some wolf-like charisma on him."
"People made so many jokes about Hoolay earlier, but if he doesn't show you a thing or two, he's afraid you'll really treat him like a sick cat!"
"Hoolay never thought about clinging to life, he only wants to make the Borisin great again!"
"Good, good, good, fight! I just want to see the war between the Xianzhou and the Borisin!"
…
Amidst the pleading cries of a Foxian,
Hoolay stepped forward step by step.
With one bite, he tore open the Foxian's neck.
Subsequently, the Foxian twisted and deformed, falling into madness, turning into a Borisin!
"Mok Tok, we are the strong ones at the top of the food chain."
"As wolves, we are the creators of fear, not the slaves of fear. If you cannot see the path, I will become the hanging crimson moon, illuminating where the path lies for you—"
"Share my crimson blood with all our brothers. Use it to infect the Foxians, use it to manufacture fear!"
Having said that,
Hoolay's gaze suddenly looked outside the door.
"Monkeys hiding in the shadows… show yourselves!"
The person lurking outside
was precisely Moze.
Through the Borisin who had been let go earlier, Moze had discovered this place at the first opportunity.
Although he hadn't acted rashly,
he was still detected by Hoolay!
"…Jiaoqiu."
Seeing Jiaoqiu's state, Moze
revealed a grave expression.
"Moze… go, quickly—" Jiaoqiu urged in a weak voice.
"He cannot leave, and neither can you. Monkey of the Yaoqing, you have come just in time. Tell your general…"
"Tell her, I will start from here and slaughter my way through the Luofu Xianzhou. From now on, the offspring who share my wolf blood will run and hunt in every bustling market, feeding on the believers of the Reignbow Arbiter."
"Sons of the wolf, follow me, and stride proudly among the prey!"
Mok Tok and the crowd of wolf soldiers instantly shouted in unison.
"Give a wolf a dead end, and make it find a way forward. Feed a wolf with corpses, and make it fill its belly. Living ignobly yields no place of survival; fighting to the death ensures eternal existence…"
At the same time,
the rumbling of ceremonial cannons drifted from afar once again.
"Listen, this rumbling of cannons—it awakens all the memories of the battlefield in the depths of my heart…"
"My return will bring back the ancient wolf proverbs. I will save the fallen race in my own way and let it regain its glory!"
…
"I'm fired up!"
"TONIGHT WE ARE ALL BORISIN!!! SLAUGHTER THROUGH THE LUOFU!!!"
"Why is the villain so hot-blooded?"
"Hoolay is truly a formidable figure."
"He may be brutal and bloodthirsty, but he is a respectable opponent."
"Toward such an enemy, my attitude is to crush him by any means necessary, which is the best form of respect."
"Hoolay, oh Hoolay, you really don't need to face an unbeatable enemy!"
"Sorry, it's two. No, three! …Uh, four?"
"Hoolay: Win is impossible? I don't understand!"
