Chapter 299: Escape from the Cliff and Advance to the Center
"Young Master Cousin, I can't find anyone for a long time, or forget it?" Hong Zhaochang asked cautiously.
Hong Zhaochang, the ancestor was a slave of the Hong family, was given the surname Hong because of his merits, and when he was old, he asked to be released, and since then he has helped the Hong family to take care of a few small businesses that are not very important, and most of his descendants are ordinary mortals, and occasionally one or two descendants with spiritual roots will be sent to the Hong family and become the children of the new generation of the Hong family.
Hong Zhaochang happens to be the descendant of the occasional Linggen. This time, with his own strength, he was able to qualify among many new generations of children, so that he could follow into the land of trials. said that he entered the land of trials to seek more cultivation resources for the Hong family, but in fact, he was to protect the young master and young master of the side lineage.
Perhaps it was the deep-rooted concept between men and women, coupled with the danger of the place of trial, that when the eldest lady and the young master had a disagreement, he chose the young master who seemed to be more reliable.
However, he gradually regretted this decision, but the young master was not as reliable as he seemed.
"Forget it, no!" Hong Tongrong raised his eyebrows and reprimanded: "I can't find someone yet, is the family raising you here to be a waste?"
Hong Zhaochang glanced at the others, and then said helplessly: "Young Master Cousin, we have been looking back and forth several times in this area. ”
"They obviously fled in this direction, and in the other two directions, they didn't receive anyone fleeing to that end, except in this direction, where else can people flee?"
Several people could only lower their heads and let Hong Tongrong scold like thunder. Especially the person who was sent to compete for the rewards and places in the center this time, he felt even more aggrieved in his heart, and when he was led by the eldest lady, he would at least respect him for three points, but he fucking thought he had the wisdom to know people, and chose a young master who scolded him as a dog, which is good, and spit in his face twice in three days.
"I don't care what you plan, I order you to find people before dawn!" Hong Tongrong said with grinning.
Although several people felt embarrassed, no one said anything, so they could only silently turn around and disperse and continue to search.
Hong Tongrong, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, looked down at the bottom of the cliff.
"I obviously saw them coming here, but I couldn't find anyone, where did they go?" Hong Tongrong muttered, "I can't even do this little thing, what can I do to make the people of those two sects believe that cooperating with me is the best choice." ”
He didn't know how high the cliff was, but he could see it at a glance, and there was nothing on the cliff except for stones and stones, and sparse dead wood, not even a place to hide and hide, and even the bottom of the cliff was so clear that it was impossible for anyone to hide. Where did those people hide?
The sky was getting dark, and Hong Tongrong stomped back and forth on the edge of the cliff in distress.
"It is absolutely impossible to disappear out of thin air, where did those people die......" The original calmness has been replaced by anxiety at this time.
Seeing Hong Zhaochang go and return, thinking that there was finally news about Hong Tongrong, he looked overjoyed and asked urgently: "Did you find them?"
Hong Zhaochang glanced at Hong Tongrong embarrassedly, "Young Master Cousin is getting dark, and the nocturnal demon beasts are about to come out to move, the other brothers asked me to ask, is it necessary to redistribute the manpower to reduce the danger of the brothers?"
"......." Hong Tongrong, who was poured a basin of cold water, suddenly burst into anger, "Get out! If you don't find anyone, don't give me back!"
Unexpectedly, Hong Tongrong didn't care about their life and death at all, and even disregarded the most basic safety, Hong Zhaochang's face couldn't help but be gloomy. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, several gusts of wind suddenly poured out from the bottom up in the direction of the cliff.
Suddenly there was an abnormality, Hong Zhaochang was stunned, and Hong Tongrong instinctively turned around.
At the moment of the alternation of day and night, at the moment when human visual recognition is a little slow and the most error-prone moment, several figures rush out with the wind flow, two of which are one left and one right, the figure holding the sword on the left twists his waist and sweeps sideways;
Hong Tongrong, who was caught off guard, could only roll to the side with all his strength, avoiding a sword that swept from the left, so as not to be stopped and cut into two parts, but the speed of rolling and escaping was not as fast as the knife slashed by the figure on the right, and it made people chop off a leg.
Hong Tongrong howled like a pig, waking up Hong Zhaochang, who was stunned, and hurriedly took out a warning from his arms and released it into the sky.
"Hurry! Stop them. The pain of the broken leg drowned him like a tide, and the feedback of all his senses, only the pain occupied his consciousness, the pain made his face extremely distorted, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, even so, the instinct to survive still made Hong Tongrong roar with a trembling voice.
Hong Zhaochang, who was disappointed in Hong Tongrong, was resistant in his heart the moment he heard this roar, but the fact was that he couldn't help it, as long as there were other people present, the process could be revealed at any time, if he gave up Young Master Biao now, even if he got out of the place of trial, he couldn't escape the responsibility of the Hong family, unless he was willing to stop cultivating, abandon his relatives behind him, and hide in mortals for the rest of his life.
However, no matter how much he struggled and thought more, even if he had the heart to save Hong Tongrong, the flying sword that emerged from behind the two main attack figures did not give him a chance, and a flying spin swept half of his head away. Before he lost his last consciousness, he saw that he had lost the upper half of his body, and blood was spurting wildly.
Seeing that Hong Zhaochang didn't even have time to release his best moves, he let people cut off half of his head, and he couldn't die anymore, even if he lost the pain of losing his leg, he could only grit his teeth and endure it, dragging his bloody leg to the side, and he could drag the killer for a moment, hoping that his own people would rush back to save his life.
"Don't ...... Don't kill me. Hong Tongrong, who no longer cares about his status and face, trembled his voice and begged for mercy while crawling, "Everything is just a misunderstanding...... Don't kill me, I've got some good stuff in my storage bag, I'll give it all to you......"
Qu Hao, who had withdrawn the flying sword, glanced at Hong Tongrong coldly, signaled to the nearest Wu Dao to kill him, turned his head and whispered to the others, "Don't waste time, take the things and leave, while there is no one now, leave quickly!"
Wu Dao didn't say a word, he cut off the head of Hong Tongrong, who couldn't stop begging for mercy, and searched all the valuable things on his body, and Ge Mo, who cooperated with him this time, also took away the storage bag on Hong Zhaochang's body.
A few people didn't care about destroying the corpses, leaving bloodstains and two corpses all over the ground, so they casually found a direction and walked away.
It can be said that the luck of several brothers and sisters is so good that they only encountered two waves of enemies in the direction they chose, and the other party assigned a team of two people to quickly search for the nearby area, Qu Hao, Wu Dao and others, and quickly crossed the range of the line search in order to fight more and less.
The six people didn't dare to fly with their swords blatantly, and with the huge trees blocking the way, the speed of running on their legs seemed a little slow, but fortunately, in addition to the two waves of four people, only a few demon beasts that had just come out of the nest to forage were bumped into by them and slaughtered, and nothing fatal happened.
After running all the way for a few hours, I finally shook off the tail that came after receiving the warning.
Xiao Jianxing, who was in charge of the broken back, slipped forward from behind, and Wu Dao, who was running in front, also stopped when he saw this, and looked at Qu Hao and Ge Mo.
"Senior Brother Ge, Senior Brother Ge, where are we going next?" Wu Dao asked.
Along the way, from time to time, he took out the map he grabbed and compared it with the map put together by his own brothers and sisters, and Qu Hao already had a goal in his heart.
"We're going to go to the center in the end, and we're still more than half a year away from competing for the final prize, so it's better to go in the direction of the center now. ”
"Is that good? In the direction of the center, the chances of bumping into other people are definitely higher. Yan Hua, who had encountered many dangers along the way and had palpitations, twisted his eyebrows and said.
"What's there to be afraid of? With a few of our senior brothers cooperating together, do we still have to be afraid of running into the enemy?" Hu Qiang patted Yan Hua on the shoulder, "Our senior brothers are cooperating better and better now, haven't we survived a few dangers?"
Hearing Hu Qiang's comforting words, and then thinking back to the scene of-for-tat with Wu Dao at the bottom of the cliff not long ago, they all looked at Hu Qiang with strange looks.
In the end, Qu Hao explained, "It's better to take a detour, avoid a few places that are easier to attract people to, and see if there are any more hidden places on the way." ”
