Chapter 306: Detour

"How...... Got so dirty? Shi Yuxuan sat by the rekindled bonfire, roasting a hare that she had caught out of nowhere. Seeing Shen Hao walking back with a bloody appearance, he asked in a slightly surprised manner.

"Alas, I met the gendarmerie who was arresting me, a deserter, and there was an apostle among them." Shen Hao shrugged his shoulders, he threw a middle-aged officer who was dragging upside down in his hand to Shi Yuxuan's feet, and when he landed, it was estimated that the fall was not light, the middle-aged officer groaned, and miraculously sobered up, "This is the leader of the gendarmerie, you help me clean up, I'm curious, we have just entered the country, and there will be a military police team of two hundred people specially to arrest me, and the apostle is actually mixed in the living soul, it's really a little strange...... I'm going to take a shower, you're a lot better at interrogation than I am. ”

"No problem." Shi Yuxuan grinned, like ice and snow melting, thousands of flowers blooming, even the middle-aged prisoner covered in injuries couldn't help but be stunned, as if the pain on his body had also decreased a lot at this moment.

"Then I'm sorry for you, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, uh, you shouldn't object, will you?" Shi Yuxuan squatted down slightly, and lifted the middle-aged officer's chin with a Qianqian jade finger, and the hot breath from his mouth had even blown onto the tip of his nose.

......

Not far from the campsite chosen by Shen Hao, there is a small stream through the woods, the water of the stream is clear and turbulent, and the river beaches on both sides of the impact are relatively gentle.

With a brute force to blow the apostle alive, Shen Hao was covered in smelly blood, he stuck the sword in the stone on the shore, lost the leather shield, and jumped into the stream with a suit of clothes, and for a while, the downstream of the stream was completely dyed dark red.

Shen Hao's body had already been reborn many times, and his body had already reached the realm of impurity, so it was not difficult to clean, but the cheap set of hard leather armor was soaked deep by this blood water. After nearly ten minutes of hard scrubbing, the leather on the surface was almost rubbed off, but there was still an unpleasant smell of blood lingering. Shen Hao could only shake his head helplessly, and casually threw this set of leather armor aside.

Fortunately, the Caesinavela cloak was not washed, and the cleansing magic array on it worked quite well, and it was cleaned after only rinsing it in the water.

By the time Shen Hao finished cleaning and returned to the camp with his weapon, the captive was gone, and only a pool of blood-stained armor had fallen on the ground on one side.

Shi Yuxuan ate the two rabbit legs, threw the rest to Shen Hao, and said to Shen Hao while wiping the oil stain in his hand with a handkerchief: "This guy is just a vain, and he doesn't know anything about apostles and anything like that. However, the reason why they came to trouble you seems to be because you have offended a certain nobleman in the country before, and they have been looking for an opportunity to deal with you, and this time you disappeared before the battle, and since your body was not found, they secretly listed you as a deserter in the military headquarters. And spread it to the defenders everywhere, you were recognized when you were in the city of Roderion before, and their group of gendarmes was directly sent by the noble lord, and they came to block you on this road. ”

"Tsk, these guys are really boring...... I just beat up a few blind guys, and I can hold a grudge like this. Shen Hao smashed his mouth, he finally remembered the brawl that happened in Gangdelong before, of course, it was actually him who unilaterally beat the other party. But at that time, I was very bored, and I was looking for an excuse to leave the lifeless barracks, so it wasn't too heavy, but I didn't expect to be so remembered.

"Then we have to make a slight correction to the next itinerary, I didn't kill the group of gendarmes just now, and when they return to the city, it is estimated that they will soon gather people to come to us for bad luck." Shen Hao gnawed on rabbit meat, he was not a picky eater, he practiced the belt bones and bit them one by one, chewing loudly.

"The carriage is gone, let's go straight into the woods and find a path off the beaten track. This time, we don't need to borrow those big cities, go around the mountains and forests along the border, and go directly out of Mologan City on the southeast line and go to Avili......" Shen Hao's mind was running quickly, fortunately, the border map of Erathia still had a rough outline in his mind, and after a little thought, he set a new route, "By the way, Sister Xuan, you should have a way to cover our smell, those hunting dogs domesticated by the gendarmerie can remember the smell of all the soldiers in the memory, this time it is the road led by these beasts, Otherwise, they wouldn't have found us so easily. ”

It was already dawn, and the two packed their little luggage and entered the forest. This mountain forest is located in the territory of Erathia, and does not belong to the Eskor mountain system, and the altitude is not high, at best it can be regarded as a continuous hill. However, the trees here are very lush, and when I first entered the forest, I didn't feel much of it, and after more than two hours of advancement, there was basically no trace of human activity nearby. The dense canopy of trees shaded the sky and the sun, only sporadic sunlight sprinkled down through the gaps in the leaves, and the gaps between the big trees were also full of thorns, Shen Hao also had to draw out the sword in the stone to open the way, otherwise it would not be easy to pass quickly.

Shi Yuxuan had already fallen on Shen Hao's back, she was not good at running in such a rugged and difficult environment, and she was also carried by her own apprentices when she took risks before, but this time it was changed to Shen Hao to do this coolie.

It is said to be coolie, but it is not true. Shi Yuxuan's body was very light and soft, and after climbing on Shen Hao's back, his limbs wrapped around his body like a snake, which would not interfere too much with Shen Hao's movements. Shen Hao was left with a cloak at the moment, wearing nothing inside, being hugged by Shi Yuxuan's soft body, and inevitably feeling a trace of strange ambiguity under the grinding of his ears and temples, but Shen Hao is not an ordinary person after all, he knows better than anyone how terrible this beautiful snake is, if he has evil thoughts about her, the head of the gendarme who was poisoned into blood by the carrion just now is probably the best example.

However, it is not without benefit to carry Shi Yuxuan on her back, not to mention that she always exudes a faint fragrance like an orchid and musk, which smells invigorating, just that in this lush primeval jungle, no poisonous insects and poisonous snakes dare to approach, which makes Shen Hao only need to think about how to know how to know the thorns blocking the way, and the speed of progress is much faster than normal.

In the morning, they ate half a rabbit, but they were not hungry, and in order to get away from those annoying gendarmes as soon as possible, the two did not stop at noon to prepare for food. Hurriedly running all the way until the sun was setting, the two came across a stream again. This creek is a bit wider than the one I've encountered before, and it can actually be described as a small river. The rushing water runs through the undulating hills, crossing a small valley that is not too big, and the trees along the river are much more sparse, making it a good place to take a temporary break.

It was still Shi Yuxuan who lit the fire, Shen Hao took off his cloak and went down to the river to catch fish, and half an hour later, a sumptuous dinner was placed in front of the two.

"I think our thinking seems to have fallen into a misunderstanding." Shi Yuxuan, who was picking fish bones, suddenly spoke. Shen Hao on the other side was stunned and looked up at her.

"Originally, we all thought that the power of the Nightmare should be lurking in our hostile country, and Erathia, the human empire, should be a force on our side." Shi Yuxuan gently tore off a small piece of fish meat, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, "Actually, there is no absolute justice and absolute evil in this nightmare world. The humans here represent the humans in the real world, and on the contrary, any race in this world may have a human soul attached to it. ”

"You encountered an apostle in the gendarmerie today, so maybe there is a certain demon hidden in the upper echelons of Erathia, and although Korulod has been fighting in the east and west, it doesn't mean that they are the vanguard of the nightmare, you have already clashed with their army twice, except for the two unlucky nightmare hunters in the True Martial Hall, it seems that you haven't encountered the existence of the apostle level, right?"

"Maybe I didn't encounter it, or maybe I didn't find it." Shen Hao shook his head, took a roasted browned fat fish from the fire, and replied thoughtfully, "I understand what you mean, indeed, we can't define Erathia as a force on our side just because it is an empire built by humans. This world has the world's concept of good and evil, but our goal is only one, and that is the Demon King hidden behind the scenes. However, I don't think that the Crulod side will be very good, the reason may be a bit far-fetched, but I always feel that this country is too strong, and the chessboard spread out by the demon will definitely not give us the advantage of human power. ”

Shi Yuxuan was silent for a moment, in fact, she also intuitively felt that Krulord was suspicious, the two bewildered companions became the main generals of the other party, turning the spearhead to hit herself, but she was not killed by the Nightmare for the first time after releasing the Nightmare Energy, so can it be considered that their identities are already known to the Nightmare Demon, and after knowing their identity, they are still allowed to be the main general of the First Army, which shows that there are also Nightmare Eyes and Eyes hidden in the high-level of Krulord, as for an apostle, a clone, or the body of the Nightmare Demon King, This is impossible to confirm.

"I hope that Su Yue and the Chen family brothers and sisters have not revealed their identities on Avili's side, so that we still have room to turn around. If we were like Ling Jiancheng and the others who had entered the surveillance of the Nightmare Demon, it was very likely that we would have fallen into the trap of ourselves. Shi Yuxuan said lightly, and glanced at Shen Hao, secretly looking at his reaction.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to take unnecessary risks." Shen Hao threw a fishbone into the fire and replied in an indifferent tone, "If they are also exposed, I will find a way to capture them, and then temporarily imprison them as I did with Mo Sheng Gu." Wait until you kill the Demon King Lust and set them free again. ”

"Hehe, don't be too pessimistic." Shi Yuxuan suddenly smiled, she stretched out her slender hand and gently patted Shen Hao's shoulder, "Don't forget, the supreme-level powerhouse who came in this time is not just the two of us......"
