Mount and Blade

The prison door was opened, and Madwuxiu walked into the cell, his footsteps making a dull sound on the slippery ground. He looked around at the miserable scene, the scattered limbs and the disemboweled bodies. Even he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

This didn't seem like something a human could do, but more like a cruel catharsis of a beast after a full meal.

... Taking the remains of the prey for fun.

Green leaned against the cold wall, his body covered with blood and mud. His wounds had scabbed over in a short time, but his heart was full of pain and self-blame. He knew that his behavior last night had exceeded the bottom line of his previous life as a human being.

Madwuxiu stood in front of Green, his eyes became even colder. It seems that the child that man gave to him is indeed a good tool. The last time he came, Green was still living in peace with those children, and he also suspected that the child was too soft-hearted as a killer and undercover.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

He was already integrated into the group before committing the murder. This guy's mind is not simple. It's really vicious... Madwushu's mouth corners rarely rose.

"...You did better than I thought, kid."

Green lowered his head and said nothing. He knew Madwushu was praising him, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart.

Madwushu approached Green, lifted his chin with his hand, and forced him to look at him. "Your performance is impressive, but don't forget your identity and mission." His voice was cold and firm.

A trace of determination flashed across Green's eyes. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I won't forget."

Madwushu nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave the cell. Green stared at his departing back quietly, gritted his teeth and swore in his heart that he must escape from this dark place, no longer be constrained by anyone, and seize a place that belongs to him! !

"...Soon, you will have a new task assigned to you." Madwushu's voice gradually disappeared at the end of the dim corridor. The shadow hands just cleaned up the bodies in the prison and left.

...There was no food ration today, and he was the only one in the empty prison.

Although it seemed like he had rested for a night, the physical fatigue seemed to be hard to fade away. Thinking back to the sporadic memories of last night, Green couldn't help but retching.

So disgusting... Even so, do you have to live?

Green suppressed the nausea caused by psychological discomfort. What's the point of tormenting yourself desperately? It's better to survive with that pitiful nutrition.

Green slowly sat down against the wall, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down. He told himself that he had to adapt to this environment to have a chance to escape.

Suddenly, a slight noise caught Green's attention. He opened his eyes and looked at the source of the sound alertly.

I saw a little mouse poking its head out from the corner, sniffing the air, and then slowly approaching Green.

Green's heart moved, he reached out and gently grabbed the mouse. He realized that this might be his only source of food today.

He held the mouse tightly and felt its weak heartbeat. Although he still felt a little nauseous, the hunger for nutrients for his body gradually prevailed.

Green took a deep breath, brought the mouse to his mouth, and bit it...

The mouse died completely after only a few squeaks. Life is so fragile. The mouse's fur was quickly torn off by Green's hands, leaving only the flesh and blood inside, which was gnawed by the embarrassed Green.

The tiny liver seemed to be no different from that of a human except that it was very small...

Its stomach was empty, and it must have been working hard to survive.

In this prison, even the tiny bones will not be wasted, and everything that can be used can become nutrients for the body.

Green didn't know why he fell into that state, as if his body was no longer under his control and took action. However, that state... seemed to be inextricably linked to the totem on his body.

However, it was silent now and did not respond to Green. Even if Green held his breath and concentrated, he could not wake it up, let alone enter the space that belonged only to him. It seemed that all his abilities were inseparable from the little dragon that lived in the totem.

Green closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to establish a connection with the little dragon in his body. He could feel the warm current flowing in his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not evoke the little dragon's response.

...But fortunately, it was enough to rely on this warm current to resist the cold.

............

The 30th day in Grant Prison.

Madwushu took Green away from the prison. The weather outside had become extremely cold after nightfall, and even the moonlight that had not been seen for a long time became dazzling enough. Green had not seen such a sufficient light source for a long time.

So that on a moonlit night, the vision was so clear.

"...Let's go, that person has been waiting for a long time."

The sound of shackles echoed between Green's hands, and Madwushu gave Green a black coat. For some reason, they didn't seem to notice the totem on Green's chest.

On the way, other shadow hands who were Madwushu's minions patrolled and guarded the surroundings.

A small episode broke in, and a shadow hand's head fell from the tree with the dark fur of the beast on it.

A figure jumped down from the tree, the same shadow hand who dyed the beast's fur dark brown.

"...You are acting very strangely, Madwuxiu."

The man's bared teeth and every word and action revealed the same ferocious look in his eyes as the wild wolf he wore.

"...It's time to change the position of this leader." The double-edged war sickle shaped like a wolf's fang in his hand was still stained with fresh blood. The man took a lick and then approached Madwu Xiu.

"Hmph, if you are looking for death, I will help you." Madwuxiu kicked Green far away, took out the same weapon from his waist, and started to compete with the attacker.

As a shadow hand, various unique martial arts skills emerge in endlessly. They can attack their vital points and lock their ambitions with every move.

Every attack of Madwuxiu is precise and deadly, and his martial arts are undoubtedly the best among the Shadowhand clan. Although the challenger was brave, his speed seemed insufficient in front of Madwuxiu.

The two sides went back and forth, fighting hard to separate each other. Suddenly, Madwuxiu found his opponent's flaw and swung his weapon forward, scratching the opponent's arm. The man was in pain and his movements slowed down a little.

Madwu Xiu took advantage of the situation and launched continuous attacks, overwhelming the man.

In the end, the man couldn't resist and was kicked to the ground by Madwu Xiu, cutting off his hands.

"You lost." Madwuxiu looked at the man who fell to the ground, "Who else wants to challenge my position?" There was silence all around, and no one dared to say anything anymore.
