Chapter Ninety-One: Sneak Attack
After walking for about a mile in the water, Nangong Yu decided to surface.
"Whew" he jumped out of the water and came to shore.
He looked around and noticed that the terrain was very strange.
It was a forest surrounded by mountains, surrounded by towering mountains, surrounded by a dense forest, and the river at his feet ran through the entire forest.
He decided to follow the river and see what he could find.
After entering someone else's encirclement, Nangong Yu stared at the surroundings intently, on the territory of other people's houses, he must have noticed the sneak attack of these killers at any time.
"Step~Step~" Nangong Yu was very careful with every step, because he didn't know if the enemy would ambush him in the next bush.
While moving quickly in the forest, he looked at the surrounding environment, of course he would not be naïve to think that he would be able to find Dongfang Hua's whereabouts immediately in a day's time, after all, how big this forest is.
Nangong Yu planned his own route, and he decided to go to the center of the forest first, after all, there was a dense forest, and the environment was complicated and easy to hide.
"I hope the person I'm looking for can be found successfully," Nangong Yu ran towards the middle of the forest.
Three hours later, he stopped at a waterhole under a small waterfall somewhere in the middle of the forest, Nangong Yu was tired from a long journey, he came to the waterhole and squatted down and was about to hold water with his own hands to drink.
Suddenly, just as he was going to fish for water, a person suddenly appeared from the grass on the side and stabbed him from Nangong Yu's back with a short sword.
"Hmm" At the moment when the other party decided to make a move, Nangong Yu felt the murderous aura of the other party, and the moment he hurriedly stood up and prepared to take action against the person behind him, another person sprang out from the bottom of the waterhole in the waterhole.
"Hmph" Nangong Yu is still too inexperienced, although he has already noticed the person behind him, but the moment he turned his head, the sudden assassination under the water also caught him off guard.
"Sword Dance" Nangong Yu decisively dodged with his birth method, but he was still stabbed by the underwater man when he was evacuating, but he had already avoided the fatal blow, and this sword stabbed him in the abdomen.
"Damn, it was plotted" Nangong Yu pressed the bloody wound in his abdomen with his hand, and the spirit yuan in his body frantically gathered towards the wound, protecting the wound from further deterioration.
Seeing that the two assassins had succeeded, a large number of guards came out of the surrounding grass and gradually surrounded Nangong Yu in the center.
"I didn't expect to come to find someone, I myself became their target" Nangong Yu smiled bitterly in his heart, but now he is not the object of slaughter, he uses the sword to refer to the sword, and gathers the spirit yuan at his fingertips.
"Flashing" Nangong Yu turned into a white light, killing a bloody path in the crowd, and when the light disappeared, Nangong Yu had already appeared behind the crowd.
"Sword Step" Nangong Yu immediately unfolded his body when he rushed out of the encirclement and plunged into the dense forest.
"Chase me, if you live to see people die, you want to see corpses, chase me," shouted the man at the head.
"Yes," the guards went into the forest like ants.
"Remember, the people above have ordered not to live this young master of the Nangong family, as long as you bring back his corpse, the people above will be rewarded" The person led shouted again.
"They know my identity" Nangong Yu, who was not far away, heard the content of this person's shouting, "How could the other party know his identity, could it be that his every move in the Immortal Lake was monitored by the other party."
Now these various problems, Nangong Yu has no time to think about it, what he has to do at this stage is to quickly get away from the other party's pursuit and find a safe place to recover from his injuries.
"Ju" He used Lingyuan to plug his wounds as he ran, so as not to leave blood on the wounds and others to find his traces.
The sneak attack on the waterhole made him understand a truth, that is, when you are not sure that you are completely safe, you must not easily let your guard down, which will only kill you.
"Huh" The sharp pain in his abdomen made his brows tighten, and seeing that there was no enemy behind him again, Nangong Yu hurriedly found a lush tree, and then jumped on the tree.
On the tree, Nangong Yu leaned against the trunk of the tree and began to check his wounds, he found that there was a layer of black substance on the edge of his wounds blocking the recovery of the wounds, if it weren't for the protection of Lingyuan, Nangong Yu would have bled to death a long time ago.
"Poisonous" Looking at the black substance on his wound, Nangong Yu knew that he was afraid that the short sword that stabbed him had already been coated with poison that delayed the recovery of the wound, but at the same time, Nangong Yu was also glad that he was blessed with a great life, but fortunately he didn't apply any deadly poison, otherwise Nangong Yu would have already returned to the west.
In fact, it is not that these assassins do not want to apply poison, but because most liquid poisons do not last too long, because this liquid poison is often more volatile, and if it is not stored properly, it will evaporate in less than two hours.
And the stronger the poison, the more it needs to be used immediately, so they chose this poison that delays wounds, but this poison is also deadly, because anyone who is poisoned needs to spend a lot of spirit yuan to counteract the effect of this poison in the process of poisoning, and in today's forest with such a complex environment, such poison is also deadly.
"Whew".
In addition to protecting the part of the spirit element that the wound was canceling, Nangong Yu also took out another spirit element from his body to repair his wound.
I saw that he endured the severe pain and wrapped the poison in the wound part with his own spirit yuan, trying to remove the poison from the flesh little by little, as a little black liquid was extracted, Nangong Yu's wound was recovered with the help of the spirit yuan, but the consumption of his spirit yuan was also intense.
"Let's look everywhere, maybe he's around here" Just when Nangong Yu was healing at a critical moment, under the tree, several pursuers had already chased here.
Nangong Yu looked at the people under the tree, and he hurriedly took out the few spirit elements to wrap his breath, trying to cover his breath. At this time, if he was found by the people under the tree again, the result would be fatal to him.
"You go over there and have a look," the middle-aged man who looked like a squad leader under the tree ordered.
"Yes" This squad leader actually took his own tree as the center and began to spread around, and I don't know if Nangong Yu was lucky or what, the trees in this area were searched all over the place, even if it was a hollow trunk, they didn't let it go, but they just didn't search the tree on the head of the squad leader.
"Report, no trace found," the subordinate reported to the squad leader.
"Okay, you go and inform the others, and we'll quickly assemble and look for other areas."
Soon the team gathered under the tree where Nangong Yu was staying, and then lined up and walked in a certain direction.
"Huh" Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At this moment, the squad leader suddenly looked back at the tree where Nangong Yu was staying.
At this moment, Nangong Yu became nervous again, he looked at the other party's eyes, his right hand had already begun to gather Lingyuan, ready to strike at any time.
At this moment, Nangong Yu's heart eye was about to mention the heart eye, if he was discovered by others, with his current situation, he would only end up with the same end.
Under the tree, the team leader glanced at the tree where Nangong Yu was staying, as if intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned around and left with the team as if nothing happened.
"Whew"
It seems that the other party just inadvertently took a look at the tree and didn't find anything, Nangong Yu was glad that he didn't reveal his whereabouts.
..................。
When the team left, the team leader's cronies saw that his captain glanced at the tree behind him, so he hurriedly asked the team leader, "By the way, the captain hasn't checked the tree on our head yet......
Before the squad leader's cronies finished speaking, the squad leader immediately knocked on the person's head.
"You're stupid, if that person was on this tree, wouldn't I be able to sense it," the team leader reprimanded.
"That's right," the cronies thought too, if the person they were chasing was on the tree, would their captain not be able to sense it, because he was suspicious.
"Okay, let's go to the front area, maybe that person is in the front area," the team leader said.
"Yes," the cronies quickly ran forward.
Watching his cronies leave, the squad leader once again glanced in the direction behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, and when he turned around and continued to walk with the team, he shook his head with a smile on his face, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Funny little guy~".
