Chapter 22: Into the Night
"Chirp~~"
The yellow light roared through the trees and rose into the sky, then exploded in an instant. In the dark night, small bits of yellow debris exploded like fireworks, but instead of disappearing like fireworks, they scattered in all directions. The yellow fragments crept into the night as if they had come to life, wandering through the Lost Forest to guide others.
Hundreds or thousands of debris cannot be stopped by man.
"Reinforcements will arrive soon, blue wolf, if you know each other, let me go, beg for mercy, maybe I will spare your life......" The bearded man was very proud, and his face was distorted to hideous.
But he forgot that his life was in someone else's hands before reinforcements arrived.
The wolf instead pressed his knee against the bearded man's abdomen, immobilizing him. One hand grabbed his neck, and the other pulled out the ice release from his waist. The bearded man's eyes finally flashed with white light, and the cold metal fell, and it was too late to beg for mercy.
Lose one's head.
A large amount of blood rushed out and stained the surrounding soil, and a faint smell of blood spread in the air. In the darkness, the carnivores gathered to smell the delicious smell of their food. But because there are still humans there, they can only hide in the dark and wait quietly.
Wait for the living creatures to leave before they come out and feast.
The blue wolf stood up expressionlessly, shook off the ice release knife and put it into the wooden scabbard. Then I was ready to leave.
Zhi Chong followed and patted the white tiger to stand up. Wen Ya and the others also immediately gathered around.
"Why, do you want to keep fighting?" asked the blue wolf, looking around.
The previous one had just started the fight, and before he could use force, he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the giant python. So...... Still going on?
"Don't fight. Zhi Chong said.
He stroked the white tiger's round head and said, "We won't trouble you until we get out of this forest, and we should repay your personal favor." But we won't give up on this ninth-level mission, and we won't be polite if we encounter it again when we get out of the forest. ”
Zhi Chong said this without the rest of the team discussing it, but no one else had any objection to this decision. Because of the wolf drawing his sword to help, it is a fact that their team of men and horses escaped by luck. One report and one report, should be shared.
Since he stopped fighting, the blue wolf put away the ice release knife, said "oh", jumped on a horse and turned away.
"Hey, that's my horse ......" The owner of the horse who was robbed in front of him looked at their distant backs in a daze, and couldn't accept the fact that the No. 1 bounty hunter in Kyushu had robbed his mount.
Zhi Chong shook his head: "You...... Why don't you sit with me...... "Only the Great White Tiger can carry the weight of two adult males for a long time.
Wen Ya, who was more mobile, threw the reins in her hand to the horse owner who was still in a daze, and rubbed to Zhi Chong's side with a smile: "I'm lighter, can I sit with you?"
The corpses on the ground attracted more and more carnivores, whether it was in the grass on the ground, in the leaves above their heads, a pair of shining eyes stared straight at the fresh and warm ** on the ground, and the eyes were hot. Zhi Chong looked around and understood that this place was not suitable for a long time, so he sat on the big white tiger and pulled Wen Ya up.
"Let's go, let's change to a safe place to rest. ”
The blue wolf was randomly caught and ridden by an adult male horse, whose foot range was much slower than that of Qiji, not to mention that his natural vision was even more limited. The flame powder on his body had just been used up, and in the absence of torch lighting, he could only move slowly forward by the thin wisps of moonlight cast by the dense branches and leaves.
The land is uneven, often with raised hard stones, creeping roots and small ponds. The horses walked very hard, almost struggling, not only was this speed far from catching up with Helian Xiaojiang, but the longer the time was lost, the more they would widen the distance between each other. Finally, the wolf jumped off the horse, threw the reins, patted the horse's buttocks, and told it to go back to join them up.
One skill that everyone in a bounty hunter must master is the art of tracking.
Blue wolves are no exception. He stood there, his eyes closed, his neck tilted and his ears pricked up, and when his body and mind were still, he could hear all kinds of small movements, sounds, and smells in the depths of the forest. Some are animals that live in the forest, and some are emanating from the forest itself. If you are a little quieter, you can even feel the breath of the air. The reason why the blue wolf is an excellent bounty hunter is not only because of his martial arts, but also because of his sensitive senses and keen sixth sense.
Removing the impurities from the air one by one, he discerned a subtle familiarity coming from a certain direction.
Although Qi Ji is just a spirit beast that can't speak, it has been with him for a long, long time, probably hundreds of years. Two different species that cannot communicate verbally will also become familiar with each other in such a period of time, and they will become too familiar with each other.
Action, temper and breath. It's a bit difficult to pinpoint your mount's position in a large and complex forest, but it's not impossible.
More often, before the blue wolf went to find Qiji, the spirit beast Qiji always took the first step to find it back. People say that the old horse knows the way, and he is more deaf and clear-sighted than the old horse, and the body is better than the body of Qi Ji, which is like being equipped with a physiological locator. Even after thousands of mountains and rivers, he can always run back to the blue wolf in the end.
It's the same now. Only then did the blue wolf chase out a short distance in a specific direction with light skills, as if he saw a black shadow running back towards him in the distance. Black shadows flickered in the dense trees, getting closer and closer. Before he could run to him, the blue wolf was already sure that this was his mount, Qiji, but his heart did not relax because of this, but became more and more pulled as Qiji approached.
Qiji's back was empty.
The distance between a man and a beast is reduced by less than ten meters, and the fact that a single qiē can be seen really confirms the blue wolf's bad guess.
"What about people?"
Qi Ji only stamped his hooves vigorously, shook his head and chirped hoarsely. It was something bad that happened, and Qi Ji was so anxious that he almost spoke. The blue wolf immediately turned over and sat up, he pulled the side of the reins to let Qi Ji turn around, and then clamped his legs: "Go, take me to her." ”
Somewhere in the Lost Forest.
Helian Xiaojiang rolled her eyes with her chin in one hand, and she was powerless to complain about herself.
She...... Fell into the swamp.
Faint!
The body kept sinking, and the soles of the feet couldn't step on the real thing. All around her were soft whirring things that wrapped around half of her body. The things seemed to hold the weight of her body, and they seemed to pull her down even more. When it first fell, it was only at the knee level of the feet, and now it is almost at the waist position.
