Chapter 35: The Jungle Chase
After a while, the knight of the Wu family rushed to the edge of the woods.
At the head is a middle-aged man with triangular eyes, holding a sandalwood box in his hand, which contains a pink insect like a heavenly cow, which is constantly vibrating its wings and whispering.
And sure enough, they got here. The crowd was divided, and a man in a brocade robe in his forties walked out from behind. After looking at the gray carriage and the two black horses abandoned on the spot, he said with a sneer.
It is Wu Tong, the third elder of the Wu family.
"In that case, what are you waiting for, let's chase after it, we must not let them run away. The arrogant young man behind the brocade-robed man heard this and said with great joy.
"Hehe, don't worry, the two of them have been in the car for so long, and they have also infected the smell of thyme, which can last at least a whole night. After such a long time, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch a mere martial artist? You two stay and take care of the horses with Hua'er, and the others go in with me. After Wu Tong said hehe, he pointed at the two subordinates and ordered.
When the two men heard this, they immediately bowed down and agreed.
Others drew their blades and swarmed into the woods with the men in their hands.
Although these knights are all only martial artists, they are all flexible, and they obviously have a good martial arts.
After Wu Tong told the arrogant young man a few more words, he walked into the darkness without hurrying.
......
Half an hour later, deep in the woods.
Shi Muheng was still running in the forest with the girl in his arms, his clothes had already been scraped by branches and vines, and even left dense blood marks on his arms and legs.
Shi Mu didn't care about this at all, but every time he ran a distance, he suddenly turned a corner and ran in other directions.
The girl curled up most of her body in Shi Mu's arms, wrapped her arms around the young man's neck, and said nothing with a slightly red face.
In the hazy night, under such intimate contact between the two, the girl's soft body and the faint fragrance emitted an indescribable temptation.
However, at this time, Shi Mu didn't care about the fragrance in front of him at all, but relied on his extraordinary eyesight, desperately looking for some good places to walk, and his body was like a leopard.
Suddenly, he spun around and hid behind a large tree, and after taking a deep breath, he listened to something with his head tilted.
Zhong Xiu raised his head in his arms, his eyes shining slightly and staring at Shi Mu's dignified and abnormal face, and he seemed to be a little stupid for a while.
As a result, after only a short while, there were some noisy footsteps behind him, and even some low scolding voices were faintly mixed in.
Shi Mu's face changed, he turned around without saying a word, and ran wildly with the girl in his arms again.
And so it was. They must have some kind of special way of tracking, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to catch up with us so accurately every time in the woods. Brother Shi, let go of me and run for your life. Without me holding you down, you might still have a chance to escape. When Zhong Xiu heard these voices, he suddenly came to his senses and said in a low voice.
"Miss Zhong, there is no need to say these words. Although Shi Mu is not a hero, he will never do anything to abandon women and children. Besides, Uncle Zhong was on his deathbed, but he personally entrusted you to me. Shi Mu replied without hesitation.
"But ......"
"Nothing! With my strength and physical strength, it's not much of a burden to hold you, even if you run all night. I'll see if these pursuers can have the stamina to keep up with them. Shi Mu said very calmly.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore, it's a big deal that Little Sister and Big Brother Shi will live and die together. ”
When the girl heard this, the beautiful eyes on Shi Mu's face flickered slightly, and then she suddenly said softly, and the arms around her neck suddenly tightened a little.
Shi Mu didn't care about listening to the words of the woman in his arms at this time, and the steps that were running suddenly stopped.
The trees in front of him suddenly thinned out, and a large meadow could be seen in the distance.
He ran down and rushed to the edge of the woods.
At this point, it is obviously too late to change direction.
When Zhong Xiu saw this scene, his heart was surprisingly calm, and he didn't have the slightest sense of fear
"It seems that this time I won't be able to do it. Miss Zhong, you hold on to me first!"
Shi Mu's face was gloomy and he whispered to the girl in his arms. ,
"Hmm"
The girl replied in a soft, nasal voice.
Shi Mu then moved, rushed to the bottom of a big tree, shook his arms, and quickly climbed to a branch three or four feet high with the girl like an ape
After letting the girl cling to the branch, he quickly commanded:
"You wait for me here, if I can kill the pursuers, I will naturally come to pick you up. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Shi Mu jumped directly from the tree with a "whoosh", and reflexively rushed towards the depths of the woods that he had come out of.
Zhong Xiu on the branch, most of his delicate body leaned against the branches, looking at the place where Shi Mu disappeared in the distance, his face was unusually pale, and the cyan birthmark on his forehead looked like nothing in the night, giving people a sense of indescribable beauty.
......
Shi Mu just rushed backwards for a long distance, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly knelt behind a tall shrub, grabbed his arm with his backhand, and took off the purple giant bow behind his back.
Hundreds of feet ahead, more than a dozen figures were running towards his location.
These knights of the Wu family naturally never imagined that someone could see their situation clearly from hundreds of feet away on such a dark night, but they were desperately approaching this side.
After more than an hour of chasing in the woods, most of these Wu family knights were as embarrassed and disheveled as Shi Mu, and some of them even began to pant.
When Shi Mu saw this, he sighed in his heart that it was a pity.
If he hadn't been chased to the edge of the woods, he would have run a little longer, and he would have been able to shake off most of his pursuers.
He thought so in his heart, but with a "swish" in his hand, he pulled out a long feather arrow from the leather pouch on his back, and put it on the bow very skillfully.
"The smellworms are reacting violently again, and they are not far ahead. After a while, someone exclaimed, and the Wu family, who was originally running wildly, suddenly slowed down.
But just then another disgruntled voice rang out:
"Is there a reaction again? Hu Laoer, is there a mistake with smelling incense insects? Why every time we say that the kid is in front, we chase after him and see no one. If I continue to run like this, I'm afraid my brothers won't be able to support it. ”
"Hmph, even if we all make mistakes, there will be nothing wrong with smelling incense insects. The reason why I haven't been able to catch up with that kid is because he is too slippery and you are too slow. But it seems that this time he should not be able to run, you can just go up and get someone. It's best to get things done before Master Tong comes. Otherwise, after chasing for so long this time, I'm afraid Master Tong will be angry. The triangular-eyed man holding the wooden box replied unceremoniously.
(Sweat, forgetting to say that the cold is getting more and more serious, and my throat is swollen, and I can only change it today.) )
