Chapter 31: The Righteous Word (Part 3) (Three Updates) Seeking Red Tickets and Collection

  A tall and sturdy man with severe pain in his lower body shouted loudly, but his movements didn't stop for a moment. He turned around and suddenly stretched out both hands to grab the wings of the mutated bat that was attacking him, and then pulled them down violently. The whole person pressed down on the body of the mutated bat.

  Hiss!

  "Hurray!"

  "Kill! Beast!"

  The old mouse iron pillar and several others could no longer restrain themselves, and they launched a desperate attack on the mutated bat, killing it with a loud screech. It's worth noting that these people had just been released from prison, where the only currency was strength and brutality. Without access to information or resources, prisoners were forced to constantly train and strengthen their bodies in order to survive. The old mouse iron pillar and his companions, fueled by their ferocity and reckless abandon, sent the mutated bat into a state of panic...

  Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp...

  The mutated bats that had flown back suddenly fled and took off, increasing the distance between them and the iron pillar Liu Kui and the others; at this time, out of a total of fourteen or fifteen mutated bats, only two or three were left flying around the crowd, chirping and screeching. Originally, five were killed by Hei She, one was killed by Lao Zhou, a tall and sturdy man, and the rest were killed by Tie Zhuang and several others; the mutated bats in the air seemed to know that they were afraid, knowing that their opponents were not easy to mess with, looking at the corpses of their companions on the ground, making a few mournful chirps in the air, quickly flying away and disappearing from view.

  "Old Zhou!"

  "Hurray!"

  At this time, the four mice were covered in wounds and saw that the bat monster had left. They hurriedly hugged Old Zhou and Da Zhuang who had fallen to the ground, but at this moment, the two of them were too seriously injured, with too much blood flowing out of their bodies. They could only hold on for so long, relying on a thread of breath, and now they completely collapsed, with countless pains, weakness, and suffering flooding in. Even stretching out their hands was impossible, as they spat out blood from their mouths, struggling to move their lips, but only managed to do so a few times, and were no longer able to speak.

  "Old Zhou (Dazhuang), hold on, hold on! We will find the best doctor in the world for you, really! We'll definitely be able to cure you." The four mice were also severely weakened from excessive blood loss, but they still managed to comfort the two, their faces covered in bloodstains with two clear streaks carved out by the tears in their eyes.

  Lao Zhou exerted himself to turn around, and the mouse and Dunzi hurriedly lent a hand. As a result, they turned around in an instant, but their bodies were already exhausted to the extreme. The three of them fell to the ground together. On the other side, Da Zhuang's situation was about the same.

  They had only eaten a few biscuits each in the morning, and after several days of continuous pursuit and escape, their spirits had not relaxed at all. Now that they were seriously injured and bleeding profusely, as soon as they let their guard down, the pain and weakness of their bodies caught up with them, making every movement difficult.

  Several people turned around to see Jia Yuqin's location, only to see that at this time, Jia Yuqin seemed to be still in a semi-comatose state, his whole body scorched red, muttering something, judging from the shape of his mouth, he should be saying something, his face was painful and confused, with tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes...

  Lao Zhou seemed to be making a great effort to stretch out his hand, towards Jia Yujin, but after struggling for half a day in agony and weakness, he was only able to straighten his right hand with the help of two people from the old mouse mound, but could no longer move forward even an inch...

  At this time.

  "Good! Good! Good! Such a deep brotherly love! Touching to the heart, such a brotherly bond that has been beating for so long!" A voice filled with cruelty mixed with hatred and jealousy rang out.

  The black snake had been watching from the start, watching as several people and a bat-like monster fought desperately. Although he was an Awakened with powerful abilities, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes, feeling a chill in his heart. These people were too terrifying, they had something on them that made everyone afraid!

  Suddenly, the black snake reflected back, looking at the dull and terrified subordinates beside him, his face turned extremely gloomy, his eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty, and excitement.

  Looking at these people who are almost dead, they still want to find Jia Yu Jin who is half dead. This made him think of a phrase "Brothers! For life!! The heartbeat lasts as long as the brotherhood!!!" Black Snake's heart was filled with endless suffocation, looking at Jia Yu Jin who was half dead on one side, and then at the timid and fearful crowd around him; Why did he have so many brothers who treated him like this? Why wasn't that person himself? Why didn't he receive such treatment despite being so strong?

  For a moment, his heart was filled with endless anger, envy! Jealousy! Hatred! Gnawing at his soul, making him suffocate, he needed to vent! More crazy and more brutal bloodthirsty venting!

  After hearing the black snake's words, several people seemed to know that they were almost done for, and didn't even glance at the black snake, as if quietly waiting for their future to arrive...

  "Do you guys really want to die? Are you really going to die for this half-dead piece of junk?"

  "Now, as long as you surrender and come back to me, Black Snake, whatever treatment you received at the broken copper and rotten iron place, that's what you'll get here, how about it?"

  "Think carefully, I'll give you some time. You can't afford to waste any more time with the injuries you have." Suddenly, Hei She looked at Jia Yu Jin who was lying on the ground with a bead of turbid liquid in the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up with excitement, like a child finding a new toy, as he turned to look at Lao Shu and the others.

  Whoosh!

  Unfortunately, several people were just quietly there, seemingly waiting for something, without even blinking an eye, completely ignoring the black snake's tempting words. Only the horse beside the black snake glanced at the old mouse and a few others, his throat rolling uncontrollably, as if a starving ghost had seen delicious food or a sex-starved wolf had seen a beautiful woman. It is worth noting that these several mice were among Jia Yuqin's eight top henchmen, second only to Jia Yuqin himself in the gang. If they were to join the black snake's side, their treatment would be exceptionally good, far beyond what they could have hoped for; this shows just how high a price the black snake was willing to pay to recruit the old mouse and his cohorts.

  "Fine! Fine then! Since none of you are willing, I'll fulfill your brotherly bond!" Hei She saw the reaction of several people under Jia Yu Jin's command in this situation, and his heart was filled with great anger. His face changed, and he said in a deep, cold voice.

  "Bring that broken copper and iron to me, I want to see what's so special about this guy who's still not dead yet... Let's give him a good lingering death..." The black snake's ruthless words kept pouring into the ears of the old mouse and his companions...

  As the black snake spoke, although he was slightly moved by these people's togetherness, he was also cursing them as idiots in his heart. In modern society, there are so many weirdos existing, and one should know that what matters most now is one's own life and then money. As long as you nod your head, both can be obtained, so why bother with anything else? Therefore, two people immediately stepped forward towards Jia Yujin.

  "How bold!"

  "How dare you!"

  ……

  The old mouse suddenly shouted loudly, although he fell to the ground weakly, but also shocked the two of them.

  "Rubbish!" The black snake's face pulled down, his complexion turning dark.

  "I'd like to see what you're capable of, let's see what else you've got!" Hei She shouted loudly, slowly walking towards Jia Yu Jin, his two younger brothers hastily following behind.

  "No!"

  "Just let go of Master Jin and we can settle this however you want!" The old mice were now anxious, speaking loudly one after another.

  "Oh? Can it be done in any way?" The black snake slowed down its pace after hearing the words of several mice, then continued to move forward, ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters...

  "Right! Right! Right! You tell us what to do and we'll let Mr. Jin go." Hearing the urgent responses from several people, Hei She seemed to have found something new and interesting, stopping five meters away from Jia Yuqin, looking at Jia Yuqin who was lying on the ground, seemingly trying to shake his head, with tears rolling down his face, his expression full of excitement.

  "Alright! As long as you all crawl over now, knock three times and then crawl past me, I'll let go of the broken copper and iron. Hurry up and line up!" Hei She looked at Jia Yu Jin with a very light tone, while spreading his legs apart, pointing to his crotch with his right hand.

  The mouse's face changed suddenly, for these people, even if they were asked to commit suicide or kill others, it would be okay, but for the act of kowtowing and groveling, although it wouldn't take their lives, it was a hundred times more miserable than taking their lives. It was a spiritual, backbone, and humiliating term that represented the greatest harm to a strong and unyielding man.

  "Hahaha, how's that? Haven't you considered it carefully? I don't have time to wait anymore!" The black snake took two more steps forward, looking at Jia Yujin's increasingly intense reaction, and couldn't help but admire his own brilliant idea. Two birds with one stone, let's see how these useless people can fight against me, and crush all their persistence, let's see what they'll do!

  "Alright! I'll do it!" After a moment of silence, the mouse's voice suddenly rang out.

  Several people beside him changed their faces, opened their eyes, and seemed to have made a decision as well.
