Chapter 318: Pursuit
The smoke curled, the fire gradually extinguished, but the crying became louder and louder.
Xiao Nan's white fox turned into a silver light, ran close to the ground, and silently approached this peaceful and peaceful village during the day.
As far as the eye could see, corpses were strewn all over the ground and houses were collapsing.
More than a dozen sturdy hunters carried knives and guns, and they were murderous......
They were covered in blood, their muscles crumbling, and they had clearly just experienced a big battle.
Next to the collapsed house, men and women carrying buckets of water are extinguishing the fire.
"Erwa, Erwa, don't die. A man was hunched over, his voice was empty, and he was holding half of a child's corpse in his arms.
Xiao Nan recognized the child, when he left the village in the morning, the child was fishing by the river outside the village, and he was very lively.
A woman cried and cried, "His father...... , how will I live in the future, blue one-eyed. ”
"How could the mountain bandits from Hungry Tiger Village come to loot our Xiahe Village, it doesn't make sense at all. ”
A fierce hunter dressed in animal skins asked in a deep voice.
There was a deep blood mark on his chest, and the flesh was turned outward, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Holding a steel fork in his hand, his eyes were cold.
Xiao Nan's spiritual power probed up, and he found that this man's body was full of qi and blood, and the tendons and flesh on his body were bulging, and his vitality was very strong. The wounds on his body were untreated, but they were healing on their own.
"Divided by the strength level of the main world, this Orion should have reached the four-grade refining masterpiece, the first glimpse of the refining essence, and thousands of catties of strength.
By the way, demon beasts are rampant on the Pavilion Mountain, and if these mountain hunters have not practiced martial arts, it is impossible for them to protect their homeland. Either they were eaten by youkai or killed by bandits. ”
Therefore, Orion's strength is a little stronger, and it can only be said that it is very easy to achieve results in martial arts training in this world, which is not a very strange thing.
Defended by some strong hunters, it is the foundation of the village's continuation.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is not worth plundering the poor villagers who only rely on farming and hunting to make a living.
"It's for Ah Qing, County Lieutenant Li let out a rumor that she wants to come to ask for marriage, but she doesn't agree, I have long guessed that there may be disaster. Unexpectedly, the government did not come, but the bandits came to the door first. ”
"Ah Qing...... Alas, he only thought he was unlucky, but fortunately, Lan One-Eye didn't want to lose his subordinates, so he caught someone and left. Otherwise, we will not be able to escape this catastrophe in Xiahe Village. ”
"Yes, let's mourn and change, and be more vigilant in the future. It's a pity that Li Dazhu's family is ......" The Hides Orion sighed, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes.
He put down his weapon and helped the group collect the corpse.
This is to be resigned, and as for revenge, they don't even think about it.
"Who of you knows what Ah Qing's swordsmanship is all about? If we had learned it earlier, we might not be so powerless to fight back in today's situation?"
A young Orion said indignantly.
As soon as these words came out, no one around answered, only the sound of crying from far and near.
......
Xiao Nan came out of Ah Qing's collapsed house, his eyes shining brighter and brighter, and the angry or helpless conversations of those men passed by his ears.
Countless obvious and inconspicuous traces come into view and combine into real images.
"I just went out to practice for a day, and such a big thing happened? If I refused to ask for a relative, there were immediately mountain bandits who robbed and kidnapped people, which is too coincidental, right?"
Perhaps these mountain hunters will think that these two things have nothing to do with each other...... may still be complaining that Ah Qing didn't know how to lift, didn't marry County Lieutenant Li as a concubine, and didn't get the protection of the county soldiers......
Some people even hate this disaster for attracting bandits and killing their loved ones.
But Xiao Nan understands that there is actually only one reason for this.
A mountain woman who has no quarrel with the world and has a kind temperament, how can He De attract a strong enemy?
What is this not for?
The most likely to make a move, there is only one person.
Stretching out the fox claws, Xiao Nan carefully distinguished the residual breath in the air, and the details were exhaustive.
He seemed to see a team of strongmen, killing people and setting fires along the way, and went straight to the door of Aqing's house.
Uncle Li, the hunter, stepped forward to stop him and was cut in two with a knife.
The bamboo basket in Aunt Li's hand fell, and there were wild vegetables picked during the day, which had just been washed.
She cried and pounced, and was shot in the head with an arrow, and flew straight into the corner of the wall, and her eyes were not closed when she died.
Also, Ah Qing should have made a move.
She seems to be very good at swordsmanship......
One of the mountain bandits was very powerful in swordsmanship, and the sword wind cut the wooden house in two.
Look at the cut marks in the wood, smooth as a mirror...... This man's sword skills are dexterous and fast, and his strength is already subtle.
In other words, he is at least the strength of the marrow cultivation realm, and it is possible to reach the innate level.
Xiao Nan also found something very strange.
That is, on the open space in front of the house, there were nine thin footprints, and it was a good three points to step into the dirt. There is a distance between them, and it seems to be overmeasured.
The front fingers of the footprints are in different directions, and it is obvious that the figure is moving and agile.
The key thing is that he recognizes this footprint, which is Ah Qing's.
"She's actually good at martial arts, I don't see it at all. This kind of ability to hide the form should be innate, without any reluctance, which is indeed rare. ”
"There is no trace of her blood, it is restrained...... Instead of killing on the spot, that's fine. ”
Countless messages flowed through his mind, and after only three seconds, his body turned into a white light, and after a slight turn around the village, he followed a trace of intuition in his heart, chased outside the village, and rushed to the southwest.
That direction is far away from Tingshan, only some small dirt slopes that are high and low, and there is a bamboo forest.
Bypassing the bamboo forest and low mountain, there is an official road not far away, and you can enter the city.
"The danger is nothing, the point is that the scholar is obviously not at home, I hope it is not what I imagined. Otherwise, for Ah Qing, this life is too cruel. ”
......
"There's a demonic spirit!"
Where the post station was set up outside the city, Taoist priest Guangyuan opened his eyes and stood up.
The sword of the five thunder magic behind him came out of the sheath with a bang, and it jumped faintly.
A look of excitement flashed in his eyes: "The opportunity is still there, this fox has appeared again? Why is it always pulling his heart, is something happening?"
When he walked out of the camp, he saw that the lights were scattered and the figures were uneven, but there were many fewer of them.
"Didn't Master Li come back?"
Guangyuan asked in a deep voice.
"Returning to the Daoist, Lord Li went back to the county seat this morning and told him. If the Taoist chief is out of the customs, just wait here, he is about to recruit the people, practice the big array, and prepare to find the dragon in the acupoint. ”
The goat mustache middle-aged man replied respectfully with a face.
"Okay, I see. A sneer flashed in Daoist Guangyuan's eyes.
Recruit the people to find the dragon in the hole, and deceive the ghost.
I urged him many times, and I kept trying to find a way to prevaricate, and then I used it as an excuse.
It must be doing something private behind his back.
However, everyone cooperates with each other and takes what they need, and it is not enough to say that they are very trusting.
"There will always be a time when you will come to your door. ”
Thinking of this, Daoist Guangyuan was pondering whether to go out to find the traces of the fox spirit, and his heart was surging with blood and heart palpitations.
"On a whim, this is a sign that the plan is about to fail......" His face changed drastically, and he pinched the trick with one hand, and there were words in his mouth.
"The Immortal Shows the Way...... Southeast. ”
He didn't say much, just raised his leg and left.
Looking back in the direction of the county seat, I saw that the stars were extinguished, and a sharp sword qi rose up.
"Senior brother also found out, I guessed right...... It should be that the target has a dead end, and the situation is corrupted, even if it is exposed, it has to intervene. ”
