Chapter 45: The Hunt
After a while, Yu Fei, a short middle-aged man, returned to Tang Jiu and his party.
"Brother Dove, I can be sure that they have stayed here before, there are three carriages, about a dozen people, it seems that another carriage has been destroyed, and there may be people injured as a result. In addition, judging from the residual heat of the fire, they should have set off in the middle of the night, and now they should have almost arrived around the Bone Ridge in front. ”
This not tall Yu Fei basically judged the situation at that time to be eight or nine or ten.
Moreover, he judged the progress of Su Sheng and his party from the residual temperature of the fire, which is a skill that cannot be done without more than ten years of experience in the rivers and lakes.
Tang Jiu nodded, his attitude was very approving, the information that Yu Fei reported was meticulous, and then he used some of his own judgments to weigh it, and he also felt that it was very reasonable.
Tang Jiu suddenly scolded and asked, "Can there be a clue to find Guan Ying's stinky boy." ”
"I didn't find anything to discover, he didn't leave any personal traces. The short Yufei black shadow shook his head and said
Tang Jiu looked at the short man in front of him, although Yufei was much shorter than him, but when it came to his flexible brain, he thought that he couldn't catch up with the short man in front of him, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you think is going on?" Do you think Guan Ying's little pustule really dares to betray Lao Tzu?"
This Guan Ying is him and Yu Fei, who came over after a coercion and temptation, this kind of person seems to be vicious and vicious, but it is for ordinary people, in front of them, these more ferocious demons, they become like a pustule.
Yu Fei didn't rush to answer, but thought for a while, and said, "The situation of this group of people he passed over is not far from the eight or nine that I just investigated. In addition, I suspect that the carriage may have been damaged by the eagles, and that it should be to delay them and wait for us to attack according to the original plan. But as for why they decided to leave in the middle of the night, it's hard to say. ”
"Supposedly, I also specially arranged for someone to give him a messenger falcon, just to prevent this, but he was useless, which is even more difficult to say. Yu Fei's brows also furrowed deeply, puzzled.
Although this Yufei is good at analyzing the other party according to the clues left behind, after all, it is mainly for people.
He didn't expect that the messenger falcon was actually caught and roasted and eaten by the two of them. Unless he had the means to understand it, there was no way he could have guessed.
Yu Fei couldn't figure out the problem, and this fifth master Tang Jiu was even more impossible, so he directly licked the knife in his hand and shouted, "What's the matter, let me catch Guan Ying's little pus, peel him off a layer of skin first." ”
After scolding Guan Ying, Tang Jiu turned his fat body and said to everyone, "Brothers, this time is about the Demon Hunting Competition, we must not let the Jade Dragon Regiment get this batch of fire ore, we have been chasing them along the main road and serving them in a pot." ”
"As long as the matter is done, when you get to Xuege Town, you will reward two girls per person. Although Tang Jiu doesn't like to use his brain, he has these usual methods of boosting morale.
Sure enough, hearing the words of this dove master, this group of more than a dozen people who were still indignant just now suddenly burned themselves, eager to grow wings.
Even this short Yu Fei's eyes flashed with lust, as a mercenary who licked blood from the knife, he knew that his little life would be terminated at any time, and the only thing he could do was to have fun in time.
"Brothers, go. After Tang Jiu finished speaking, he took the lead and caught up along the road.
After a while, Yu Fei also found traces of three carriages pressing, and told Tang Jiu about this matter, and the fifth master urged again when he heard this, and everyone's speed sped up a few points.
------
Just as Tang Jiu and his party from the Blood Prison Mercenary Group began to rush away, the sky had just dawned.
The refreshing morning breeze blew Su Sheng and his party a little sober.
Those who slept as they walked yawned one by one and rubbed their half-closed eyelids.
When they opened their eyes, they finally saw the bare hill standing on one side, the Bone Ridge.
A long time ago, the current location of this bald mountain was actually a flat land, but then there was a great battle between humans and monsters, and this mountain was made of the bones of those dead people and monsters.
Looking at these hundreds of meters high mountain, I am afraid that it will take millions of human and animal bones to pile up!
Now the sky is just bright, look around, the surroundings are still groggy, the buried bone ridge is even more secluded, the scene of no grass on the bald mountain, it gives people a desolate and desolate feeling.
As soon as they arrived here, several young people who were traveling with them were already beating drums in their hearts, and they had heard a lot of stories about this Bone Ridge from those mercenary elders since they were children.
There are ghosts haunted by ghosts at night, and demonic beasts dare not get too close, and the roar comes from the bald mountains for no reason......
Thinking of this, the faces of several young people were also jealous, and they no longer looked at the bald mountain, but just lowered their heads and hurried away.
And Su Sheng, who had just come to his senses, didn't know about these rumors, and deliberately looked at the only bare mountain carefully for a while, he felt that there was no special feeling, wasn't it just a bald mountain.
But at this time, the wood spirit in the black pendant suddenly spoke, and said, "Boy, that bald mountain yin qi is very heavy, maybe there are yin spirit beasts infested, this thing specializes in absorbing people's essence, like you kid, one by one." ”
"Suck people's spirits! What the hell is so powerful, are you sure there is really there?" Su Sheng was also taken aback, and his originally relaxed vigilance was raised again.
The so-called Yin Spirit Beast is a kind of thing that has no substance, and is condensed by Yin Qi alone, this Yin Spirit Beast specializes in devouring essence and blood, whether it is a living person or a demonic beast, when encountering this kind of thing, it is more than auspicious.
"Hehe, the spirit follows the master through countless planes, small things like yin spirit beasts, I don't know how many have been slaughtered, your kid's courage is too small. Seeing Su Sheng's slightly nervous appearance, Mu Ling couldn't help but shudder, and counted Su Sheng down again
"Hmph, I know how to scare your little master. Su Sheng said unhappily, but he also knew that if he continued to ask, he would be completely hit by Mu Ling, so he had to ignore Mu Ling's words.
Fortunately, there is still a lot of distance from the bald mountain here, and he is not very worried.
Su Sheng stretched his waist and stretched his body wantonly, and after a night of silent hurrying, his aura and spirit had almost recovered!
"Miss Wei, after a night's drive, let's rest here. Guan Ying's cold voice suddenly came from the front.
After Su Sheng and Wei Junyao heard this, they immediately glanced at each other and nodded involuntarily.
Both of them knew in their hearts that this wolf, they had raised it all the way, and it was time to slaughter it.
At this time, Guan Ying was a little anxious in his heart, now that the sky is dawning, and the convoy is about to surpass the Buried Bone Ridge, why hasn't the dove master arrived yet?
According to his estimate, the messenger falcon should have been in the hands of the other party a long time ago, and with the dove's ability to be in charge, it should have been done a long time ago.
Although Guan Ying was anxious, he was an old mercenary after all, so he quickly calmed down, and after thinking about it, he immediately proposed to let everyone rest first, and then look at the situation after delaying for a while, and said in his heart, "Maybe the dove is nearby, and he is observing everyone, so he is not in a hurry to do it." ’
Thinking of the feeling of Tang Jiu's bloody knife on his neck, Guan Ying's originally upright body couldn't help but bow down a little.
After Guan Ying proposed, the rest of the people looked at Wei Junyao, waiting for her decision.
Although they were also a little tired, they all took turns to rest for a while last night, and they didn't feel sleepy, but it would be good if they could take a break.
"Miss Wei, do you want to take a break?" Lao Zhou also asked
"Okay, then take a break and feed the horses. Uncle Zhou, you go and see if there is any problem with the vehicle, don't affect the rush of the meeting. Wei Junyao also spoke, commanding in an orderly manner
However, behind this calmness, the killing intent in the girl's heart was rising violently.
Guan Ying's proposal also further allowed Wei Junyao to confirm his identity as a traitor.
Although it seems that he has escaped now, Wei Junyao does not dare to be sloppy at all, and no one dares to guarantee that the people who are connected with Guan Ying will not continue to chase after them in a hurry.
"What are you going to do?" Su Sheng asked
Wei Junyao frowned slightly, she had been thinking about this matter along the way, and after sorting out her thoughts, the girl said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhou and I are both Ziling level 9, and this Guan Ying is similar to us, but he has more experience than us, so he can only sneak attack." Uncle Zhou and I are together, as long as the sneak attack is successful, he will definitely die. ”
This is also the best way Wei Junyao can think of, and not only do they have to kill Guan Ying, but they also have to think about leaving quickly.
Therefore, this matter must be cautious and not let Guan Ying notice it, otherwise, as long as Guan Ying harasses them all the way, they will be in big trouble.
But it's not easy to sneak attack, with Guan Ying's alertness as a mercenary, there are too many people, but he will be noticed, she and Lao Zhou are the highest cultivators, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party, as long as the two of them can sneak attack successfully, there will definitely be no problem.
Su Sheng also nodded, it seems that there is only this way at present, if he makes a move, he will definitely expose some of his secrets, Mu Ling will definitely not agree, he can only count on Wei Junyao and Lao Zhou themselves, this time he can only be a spectator.
