Chapter 415 'Hulei'
Chapter 415 'Hulei'
"Is this... the Racing Ship? Or somewhere else?"
Feixiao woke up slowly and found himself in an extremely dark space.
The surroundings seemed to be shrouded in thick darkness, with hardly a ray of light able to penetrate. The deep darkness was like a thick curtain, making people feel depressed and uneasy.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind Feixiao, with a hint of emotion and scrutiny in the voice, "You always leave the more difficult battles for yourself."
"Just like now, I never know what escape is."
Fei Xiao was shocked and turned around quickly to look.
When her eyes fell on that figure, surprise and confusion instantly surged into her heart, "Hu Lei..?" She stared at him in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief.
"It's strange, isn't it? As an enemy, I know you better than your comrades." A complicated smile appeared on Hu Lei's face, and that smile seemed to contain a mockery of Fei Xiao.
"This anger... I really miss it. I know that what it seeks is never victory, but hunting itself, right, Feixiao?"
"You shouldn't exist. I saw you die with my own eyes..." Fei Xiao's voice trembled slightly. When she fell to the ground and fainted, she clearly saw Hu Lei turn into blood and completely disappear.
Now his reappearance makes Feixiao extremely confused.
"Hahaha! Just treat me as an illusion." Hu Lei laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the dim space, sounding particularly weird.
"Before every hunt, I am always prepared to return in failure, but this time is different. This time... failure is the end of my journey."
Hu Lei's eyes flashed with determination, as if he had accepted his fate. "When I learned your story from Jiao Qiu, I found out that he had been hiding a secret... and the significance of this secret was not even perceived by the healer himself."
"Fate is so ironic. I've been waiting for this day, but I didn't expect it to come in this form. But I am willing to accept it." Hu Lei's voice was full of emotion.
"As for now, let us dig into the iron-hard defense of Emperor Gong Tianjiang and see what is hidden in her darkest corner?" Hu Lei's eyes became deeper, as if he was about to uncover a huge secret.

[The Immortal Boat’s Disguise]
[The original appearance of the universe]
"The familiar smell of death, like a vulture..."
"The Xianzhou people should have shown you these familiar scenes countless times, but this is just what they want you to see."
"They let you fight to save the weak, but did they tell you that after stripping away all the warm disguises, this is what the universe is supposed to be like."
"When the Immortal Boat was weak, they disguised themselves as victims to gain your sympathy. When the Immortal Boat became strong, they named you the Avenger and asked you to uphold justice."
"I found it.. this is your 'doubt'."
Fei Xiao was not afraid at all and slapped away Hu Lei's phantom.
However, many phantoms of people suddenly appeared around her.
Huai Yan shouted angrily, "You wantonly killed people in the rage of Yue Kuang, causing the death of your allies. General Tian Ji, you have betrayed the trust of the alliance! Your behavior is no different from those evil creatures."
Jing Yuan also said coldly: "After all, she has the blood of an evil creature. In time, she will definitely become an enemy of the alliance."
Facing these accusations, Feixiao remained firm.
She looked at Hu Lei who had reappeared and said with disdain, "You want to plant fear in my heart, but these are just illusions."
Hu Lei did not give up and continued, "It is time to return to the nest, Feixiao. No matter how much hatred you have for the Buli people, and no matter how much hostility there is between you and me, I will show you a path you have never imagined, because you swallowed the 'Red Moon', you are qualified to become the war leader of the Buli people."
When Fei Xiao heard this, he stopped and stood there in a daze, his face full of disbelief, "What did you say?"
Hu Lei continued to explain his plan, "Those Dulan descendants who came to rescue me were expecting that I could turn the tide of the war after I regained my freedom and let all the Buli hunting groups prosper again. But this is just a dream manipulated by those with ulterior motives. They would rather pin their hopes of survival on an illusory savior, but they don't even have the courage and strength to fight to the death. It is better to let all such Buli people perish! And I, a prisoner who has been imprisoned for 700 years, a war criminal who even wishes for an honorable death in battle, will become a puppet manipulated by others once I return to my tribe. I will never accept such a fate!"
Hu Lei's eyes revealed determination and madness. "For the truly strong, Foxman or Buli is just a name. The truly strong can decide their own path. I will open up a brand new path for myself and give you the power to decide the fate of the hunting group. The former Buli war slave, the future Foxman lord, as long as you nod, you will immediately wake up from this crazy nightmare brought by the red moon. Your body will be completely renewed, and no madness will bother you anymore. Doubt is just dust in your heart that you can easily brush away, and fear will also disappear."
Fei Xiao stared at Hu Lei and asked, "Is this the path you prepared for me? To become another you?"
Hu Lei answered without hesitation, "Yes, after all, you and I are so similar. We are both monsters who were born for battle and die for battle."
Fei Xiao sneered, "Oh, I don't need to tell you the answer, I refuse."
Hu Lei was relentless. "I said before, Foxman or Buli is just a name. You can be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want. Accept all of this, and the Buli people will submit to you. You can destroy them and leave no trace of them, or educate them to become vassals of the Immortal Boat. It's all up to you. Your name will be engraved in the history of the Immortal Boat or in the list of great enemies. Everything is up to you."
Fei Xiao listened to Hu Lei's words and shook his head slowly. "You don't understand, Hu Lei, you don't understand what I want at all. When I was a child, I escaped from the whip and shackles of Wolf Head. My hands were stained with blood for the first time. We ran desperately, trying our best, but we didn't know where we were running to. I escaped from the hunting group and met a flying woman, a Cloud Cavalry. Unfortunately, when I took her back to the old place and wanted to liberate Ku Lu's companions, I saw only a bottomless ravine left on the earth."
"As for my wish, it is very simple. I want to ensure that one day no one will witness the falling of the 'shooting star'. I want to ensure that one more person is alive and can return to Yaoqing with me."
Hu Lei was stunned for a moment, then became angry, "You would rather resist what you should be, and fall from a free wolf to a domesticated fox, just for one more person?"
"Then it's as you wish! I will feed on your fear and doubt, catch you, swallow you, and replace you as 'Feixiao'!" Hu Lei roared.
"We are so similar. We are monsters born for battle and die for battle. You are absolutely right, Hu Lei. So, pray to the heavens. Even though they never respond, may the arrows of the Patrol pierce the hearts of the monsters!"
Suddenly, a meteor appeared out of nowhere in this dark world and fell down at a high speed.
Fei Xiao looked up at the meteor and asked softly, "Do you see me, meteor?"
"'I swear to be like a cloud blocking the sky and protecting the immortal boat.' I will keep this oath until the last day of my life." As Fei Xiao finished her words, the meteor fell in front of her.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, revealing Feixiao's weapon.
Feixiao stepped forward and picked it up slowly, his eyes full of determination.
Her battle is far from over. In order to protect the fairy boat and for the beliefs in her heart, she will continue to fight.
"I will tear off your disguise and make you realize your cowardice and incompetence, Hu Lei!"
