Chapter 20: Crisis

Zhou Yao is forty-three years old this year, thin and small, and looks dry like a monkey, but he has a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle falcon, which makes people feel cold when they see it.

As a martial artist of the fifth stage of the strong path, he belongs to the backbone of the Zhou family, and has made a lot of contributions in the conquest of the forces of Zhongnan City. On this trip, Zhou Yao received an order from the young master Zhou Bo to go out of the city to chase and kill a teenager and a girl.

He has mastered a yellow-level mid-grade martial art "Eagle Eye Gong", and is good at investigation and tracking. After leaving the city, I first checked the abandoned corpses of Steward Wu and Li Huyuan, and sure enough, I found some clues.

Regarding the bodies of two colleagues, Zhou Yao also personally inspected them early in the morning and found that their fatal injuries were all in the vital part of the throat-

Seal your throat with one blade!

The wound was narrow and small, up to three inches deep.

Zhou Yao thought for a while, and suddenly understood: it was speculated that the person who started should have a long-range attack martial art, but the martial arts cultivation would not be much higher. Because after the flying blade enters the throat, it is obviously obstructed and rejected by the musculature, and even quickly declines.

If the strength is sufficient, I believe that the blade will directly penetrate the throat and penetrate it.

"Hmph, it's just a bit of strength......"

Combining the form of the wound with the defensive ability of the deceased's body, under a rough comparison, Zhou Yao probably knew how powerful the murderer was.

As for why a martial artist with a strong first stage can kill a martial artist in the second and even third stages, the answer is self-evident: sneak attack!

Surprisingly can win, if Zhou Yao stands still, let someone throw a flying knife or a flying sword or something, and if he hits the throat, he will probably die.

Martial arts are at the beginning of the martial arts stage, and unless they practice specialized martial arts aimed at physical strength, their flesh and blood bodies are still very fragile, especially in some vital areas.

With confidence, Zhou Yao began the tracking process of following the vine. Although the other party is only two little guys with a strong section, he does not take carelessness lightly, and remains cautious and cautious.

This is a hunt, and if the hunter is not careful enough, he will often get a backbite from the prey.

As an experienced veteran, Zhou Yao understands this truth very well.

Along the way, he walked and stopped like a hound with a keen sense of smell, and even changed direction from time to time.

"Hey, it seems that I went to the Zhongnan Sword Mansion. ”

Zhou Yao suddenly stopped.

He was sure that the other party would not be a disciple of the Sword Mansion, firstly, the minimum threshold for the Sword Mansion to recruit disciples must be more than three stages; second, if it was really a disciple of the Sword Mansion, he would have returned to the mountain a long time ago, and he would never save people and stay outside for a long time.

"I should have wanted to escape to the Zhong Nanshan area and get shelter. No, we must not let them get their wish, if I go to the side of Zhongnan Mountain, it will be difficult for me to start. ”

The Zhongnan Sword Mansion, once one of the ten major sword mansions, was famous in its heyday, ruling the vast southern territory in the Wasteland. Although the days are declining, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, which is far beyond the Zhou family. No matter how bold Zhou Yao was, he didn't dare to arrest people near Zhongnan Mountain, so as not to commit a taboo.

"Gotta pick up speed, see where you two imps go!"

With a wisp of ruthlessness in his eyes, Zhou Yao's body was agile and he walked forward quickly.

……

Sou!

In the grove, a sharp sound of breaking wind sounded. Then I saw a ray of light pass through the trunks of two pine trees with the thick mouth of the bowl, and finally nailed to the third tree without stopping.

Liang Qiufeng walked over, took a closer look, shook his head with regret on his face, and muttered: "I still can't penetrate the three tree trunks, and the strength is still not enough!"

The eyes of the young man watching from the side widened, and he said, "Little brother, your progress has been very good, let's rest for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Liang Qiufeng sat beside her, wiped his sweat first, then took out the cloth bag containing the spiritual rice, stretched out his hand, his face stagnated, and only twisted out three grains of spiritual rice. I reluctantly glanced at it a few times, and finally put it in my mouth and chewed it.

At this point, all the spiritual rice was consumed, and there was not a single grain left.

He was frugal and used the accumulated grain to save not much, only a few catties. It is a miracle that it can be used for cultivation until now. For some high-level martial artists with deep pockets, a few catties of spiritual rice is estimated to be the amount of a meal, and it will be gone after a full burp.

The entrance of the spiritual rice turned into a cool breath, like water dropping into the sea, and it disappeared in an instant. Since he became a martial artist and condensed his true qi, the spiritual energy contained in a few grains of spiritual rice has become very weak for Liang Qiufeng, and the benefits are pitiful.

Martial artists, their strength surpasses ordinary people, but their needs are far beyond ordinary people, and they will increase with the improvement of their realm, and the number of food and drink is terrifying.

"Dead on, I think it's time for us to change places. ”

Hearing this, her heart trembled, she was smart and immediately understood what Liang Qiufeng meant: a place that can't stay too long. The more time passes, the greater the danger, especially in recent days, several groups of hunters have come to hunt on this side of the mountain, and the two sides have met......

Although the warriors of the Zhou family have not yet chased after them, and although they have done enough camouflage skills all the way to escape, there is no impermeable wall in the world. The key is that two people are together, and the goal is not small. It is easy to see through when it is seen by those who have a heart.

nodded very obediently: "Then I'll clean up now." ”

In fact, there is nothing to pack, just a few changes of clothes, and a burden to carry.

"Little brother, what should I do next?"

The girl couldn't grasp her mind at all, and the world was so big that she suddenly felt a sense of sadness that she had nowhere to go: the enemy was powerful, and they were too low.

Liang Qiufeng said in a resolute tone: "Don't worry." As long as we have firm beliefs, we will always break out of the world that belongs to us. ”

He has encountered ups and downs, has experienced many life and death situations, and has a tenacious mind. Since I was a child, I have understood what kind of person I am and what I want to do in the future, and the rest is nothing more than the word "persistence".

And some things, even if you die, you have to go back and do it.

Certain!

Listening to his calm words, Xiao Xiao really settled down a lot.

After cleaning up, the two of them left the mountain col and continued to move towards the side of Zhongnan Mountain - they did not have many choices, and going back was an absolute dead end, which was tantamount to throwing themselves into a net. The other two areas are desolate and dangerous, and are not wise places to visit.

……

"Master Zhou, a hunter came to report in the morning, saying that he saw a man and a woman living in a tent in the col fifty miles ahead, I wonder if it could be them?"

A small town, a contact point of the Zhou family, Zhou Yao came to rest, and by the way he inquired about intelligence, and sure enough, he got very important information.

He perked up and said, "Have you ever painted a portrait?"

In Zhongnan City, Zhou Bo issued an arrest warrant, asked the painter to depict the image of Liang Qiufeng, and sent fast horses to the four places to offer rewards, and the battle was not small. As long as someone sees them, the two of them will show traces, and no matter how careful they are, there will be flaws.

However, the realism of the portrait is not very high, and it is better to die young, and Liang Qiufeng is more ambiguous.

"By the way, there are five or six points of similarity, and I was about to send my clever men to test it, and you came at an old age. ”

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows: "There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get it, I'll go over immediately!" Huo Ran got up, performed light skills, and left Luoyang Town like a ghost.

Seeing this, the reporter couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Amazing, it is said that Zhou Ye is a martial artist of the fifth stage of the strong path, I don't know what year and month we can cultivate to this point." With him out of the horse, the two young boys and girls couldn't escape. ”
