Bone Painting Coroner Chapter 678

Chapter 678 - Rescue

CONTENT WARNING: BLOOD & GORE & ANIMAL ABUSE

Follow what where? They didn’t quite understand.

Jing Rong turned towards Mo Ruo. “Just what happened?”

Mo Ruo replied calmly, “There’s a bunch of people over by the stream. By the looks of it, they should be people that have been living in the woods for years. They caught a few people and dozens of snow wolves. Right now they are skinning them one by one and roasting the wolves over the fire. The specifics of the situation is unclear.”

It’s actually such a disgusting matter!

These guards were rather experienced in the ways of the world and had seen all kinds of killing, but when they heard Mo Ruo describe that scene, they still couldn’t help but taste bile rise up from their stomachs. They could practically imagine that scene in front of their eyes!

Tang Si urged them, “Come on, quickly go over with me and save those people and the wolves! If you keep dilly-dallying, they are going to start killing people!” It’s urgent!

However, they couldn’t just go ahead recklessly. Jing Rong considered the matter, “Right now, we still aren’t clear about the situation and cannot jump in head on. We must investigate it first.”

“Why are you still thinking about that at this time? In any case, the most important thing is to rescue those people. If you’re not going, then I’ll go in alone!” Just as Tang Si finished speaking, she got up and left.

But Mo Ruo pulled her back. “Crazy girl, can’t you just be a little quieter? If it were not for me just now, you’d have already died.”

At the reminder, she reconsidered and restrained her own agitated emotions. “What should we do then?”

Jing Rong said, “We definitely must save those people, as well as the snow wolves.” He ordered Lang Po, “Bring some people to follow Mo Ruo and Miss Tang there. If it’s possible, save those people immediately.”

Lang Po answered, “Yes.”

Ji Yunshu was worried and told him, “You’d better go too.”

“This prince will stay behind to take care of you.”

“I’ll be fine. This is right next to the public road so nothing will happen.”

Jing Rong thought for a moment then instructed several guards, “Take good care of Teacher Ji. Don’t let anything happen to her.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, we will take good care of Teacher Ji.”

Thus, the group of them hurried over.

When they reached the little stream, those people had already slaughtered five snow wolves and were eating them. The remaining snow wolves in the cages were howling unceasingly, accompanied by the cries of the bound humans beside them. The mixture of the two sounded extremely tragic.

Jing Rong’s group remained hidden in the dark, evaluating the situation. “Judging by their build and dress, they likely are not people of Great Lin.” Jing Rong observed them for a while more, then asked Mo Ruo, “Look, the sabres in their hands are not those of the Central Plains either, do you see?”

“I’m not blind. I can see.”

Pfft. Jing Rong didn’t want to argue with him right now.

Mo Ruo bumped his shoulder. “Come on, tell us what we should do now? Jump in and start killing immediately or observe for a while more?”

“Let’s observe for a while more.”

Tang Si started becoming anxious. “What’s there to observe? If you asked me, we should just rush in and kill them all to take revenge for those snow wolves.” She was fuming with rage!

Mo Ruo barked at her, “Brainless.”

“You’re brainless.”

Jing Rong glared at the two of them. “Could you quiet down?”

The two of them shut up. Hmph!

Before he had time to think further, a voice rang out from over there. “If you continue wailing, believe me I’ll twist your heads off right away!”

The owners of the wolves were not intimidated and continued shouting, “You’re beasts, no better than pigs or dogs! Why don’t you just kill us with a stroke of your knives and eat our flesh instead? We raised those snow wolves from pups; killing them is as good as wanting our lives!”

Those people snickered and tore off a large chunk of roasted snow wolf flesh, then walked over toward the people bound on the ground. “We don’t eat human meat, only wolf meat. These are wolves that you raised – surely you can’t refuse to even give it a tase?”

“What do you want to do?”

“What do I want?” That person chortled, “Of course I just want you to taste whether this wolf meat tastes good as well!”

One of the older men spat out, “You beasts!”

Haha! The more savagely the wolf breeders scolded them, the more happily they laughed. They instructed, “Come, let’s pry open their mouths and let them get a good taste of roasted wolf meat.”

Several of the men yelled an agreement and went up to pry the wolf breeders’ mouths open. The person holding a hunk of wolf meat stalked up to them with a bloodthirsty look, then tore off a piece of the wolf meat in his hand and shoved them forcefully down their throats.

Oof. Their mouths were stuffed full of meat.

Tang Si couldn’t stand it any longer. She grabbed her whip and looked at everyone around her. “Things have already devolved to this state, what else are you waiting for?”

Jing Rong and his group remained unmoving. Thus, Tang Si rushed out on her own.

When they heard the disturbance, the people beside the stream all looked in her direction. Tang Si flung out the whip in her hand and viciously aimed it at the most muscular men of them all. Her whip was extremely powerful and accurately landed on that person’s head.

However this person seemed to be invulnerable. The strike of the whip seemed to have no effect at all. That person tossed his head nonchalantly and grabbed the whip to haul her forward just as she was about to draw back for a second strike.

Seeing that, Jing Rong and his group had no choice but to come out as well. Dozens of people ran out from the cover of the forest, all holding a sword aloft.

In response, those people quickly drew out large sticks from the fire, causing it to lose its structure and send sparks high into the sky. Some of them held their torches up while others started slicing with their sabres. It was a clash of a dozen people against a dozen others!

Mo Ruo first kicked away that man that Tang Si had hit then freed her whip from his grasp. “Are you courting death?” Mo Ruo scolded her loudly.

She was at a loss forwards, silently admitting that she had just been a little impulsive just now. “I know, I won’t do it next time.”

“There’s still a next time?”

“There won’t be.” As she finished speaking, she drew back her whip and continued flinging it at those people.

The two factions battled it out. Nobody was hurt or killed, but neither of them had the advantage either. Thus, they separated into two sides and stopped.

“Who are you people?” The leader of the muscular men asked.

Before Jing Rong could speak, Tang Si said, “That’s the question we should be asking you! Why are you eating these snow wolves and capturing people?!”

Haha! They threw their heads back and guffawed. “Didn’t these people breed wolves just for eating?” There’s nothing wrong with this logic.

“But these snow wolves are not yours at all! And your methods are too cruel.”

“We were the ones that captured the snow wolves. We can eat them however we’d like – who are you to govern what we can do?”

The people who had been tied up sobbed as they said, “They stole these snow wolves! I beg you to save our wolves!”

The wolves locked in the cages started howling as well.
