Chapter 39: Wanted
The air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and the Fengxi Forest is very calm after the baptism of this spring rain.
However, this calm did not last long, and suddenly, a dark shadow flew quickly above the forest, startling a burst of birds, causing a ripple in the calm forest.
After a while, when the two hurried passers-by were far away, the birds slowly returned to the tree, but at this time, the two who had left suddenly turned back.
On the spirit sword, Meng Xue ignored the panicked birds, carefully scanned the forest, and at the same time, said to the apprentice without looking back, "The teacher is definitely not mistaken, there must have been someone under a tree just now." ”
Because she didn't fly high, she just caught a glimpse of a figure near here, and after discussing with her apprentice for a while, she decided to turn back.
Lying in this dangerous Fengxi Forest, if it is not its own strength, it is in danger, no matter what the situation, Mengxue is very interested, since she has found out, then she must be in charge.
Meng Xue soon spotted the figure, and after a closer look, it should be an old woodcutter who entered the forest to collect medicine, and the medicine basket next to him fell to the ground, and unknown herbs were scattered messily around, which seemed to be the second situation.
What is the danger?
Meng Xue came to the old man with an interesting face, ready to investigate, however, at the moment when Meng Xue squatted down, Lin Xinhan suddenly felt a cold aura appear behind him, and at the same time, there was a rapid sound of breaking the air.
It's a trap!
Lin Xinhan instantly thought of the worst possibility, turned the aura shield in his hand, blocked it behind his back, and at the same time quickly squatted down, leaning against his master.
"Bang. With a thud, an arrow flew in front of his eyes and landed on a tree not far behind him.
What's the situation, why is the archery skill of the sneak attacker so poor?
Looking back at Mengxue and seeing that she was fine, Lin Xinhan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but thinking that there was a crashing sound just now, he quickly moved his head out of the shield, only to find that not far behind the aura shield, there was a palm-sized spirit snake entrenched on the ground.
Lin Xinhan recognized it at a glance, the spirit snake was named Zhu Yeqing, it was a relatively common spirit beast in Fengxi Forest, although it was only in the early stage of foundation building, it was full of yin poison, and liked to hide in the dark, taking advantage of the prey to sneak attack the prey, and quickly hid after a blow, and did not dare to appear until the prey lost consciousness.
And the bamboo leaf green hit his head on the aura shield, was shocked a little dizzy, staggered for a while, before he came to his senses, it saw that its sneak attack failed, and quickly disappeared into the grass.
It was only then that Lin Xinhan turned his head to look at the sharp arrow, and after just one glance, he instantly understood that the sharp arrow was not attacking Lin Xinhan, but to kill another Zhu Yeqing who was about to sneak attack Mengxue.
Now that this situation seems to be, presumably the old woodcutter was also attacked by Zhu Yeqing, so he fell here.
"In vain, this old man seems to have been poisoned by snakes. Meng Xue only looked back at Lin Xinhan at this time, because this incident happened in an extremely short time, so she didn't know what was going on.
Lin Xinhan nodded at the master and said, "This old man should be Zhu Yeqing's yin poison, he only needs to take the detoxification pill that can detoxify yin poison, and he will wake up soon." ”
There are dozens of detoxification pills, and taking them indiscriminately can't save people.
Mengxue fed the old man a detoxification pill, and after a while, he slowly woke up, and looked around in confusion, the old man suddenly remembered that when he was picking herbs, he suddenly found an elixir, and wanted to pick it but was attacked by Zhu Yeqing, so he was poisoned and fainted here.
"Thank you to the two benefactors for saving their lives. ”
Finding that his yin poison was detoxified, the woodcutter old man hurriedly saluted the two people in front of him, in his opinion, it would help him detoxify, the most likely is the two people in front of him, but he was a little puzzled, obviously it was the first time to meet, why did he see these two people so familiar?
Meng Xue waved her hand, "The old man doesn't have to thank you, we are going to Fengxi City, it is estimated that it is a little difficult to see you want to walk back to the city like this, do you want us to escort you for a ride?"
Wind and Sunset, the indifferent boy and the masked boy, and that wanted warrant.
The old woodcutter suddenly remembered that what he saw on the wall of Fengxi City this morning was not the two people in front of him?
Thinking of this, the old man suddenly became anxious, "The two benefactors can't go, now that you are wanted by Fengxi City, you can only throw yourself into the net if you go." ”
"Are we wanted?" Meng Xue was shocked by these words, looking at the old man's appearance it didn't look like a lie, she looked at the apprentice beside her suspiciously, and found that the apprentice was also puzzled.
They have been in the Fengxi Forest for a month, no matter what happens in Fengxi City, it can't be counted on their heads, why are they wanted by the City Lord's Mansion?
Could it be because of that group of mercenaries? This is impossible, even if that group of mercenaries has a relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, isn't it very common for mercenaries to die in the Fengxi Forest, besides, how can the City Lord's Mansion know that the two of them are still alive?
Seeing the puzzled faces of the two benefactors, the old man explained, "I'm afraid the two benefactors don't know yet, this morning Fengxi City just issued a wanted warrant, as long as there is your news, after confirming the truth, you can get a reward of 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, Meng Xue quipped, "That's not right, if you take us back, won't you get 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones?"
She must figure out why someone wants to arrest them, and at the same time, she also wants to teach that city lord a good lesson, 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, is this insulting to her?
Meng Xue's words made the old man instantly excited, "How can the benefactor be so tormented by the old man, how can the old man do that ungrateful thing! Besides, the old man is a lot old, what's the use of asking for all that money? So the two benefactors should leave here quickly, the old man swears to the sky that he will never reveal the whereabouts of the benefactor!"
Frightened by the old man's serious appearance, Mengxue had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, let's leave now." ”
Meng Xue took a deep look at the old man, and the master and apprentice walked towards the depths of the Fengxi Forest, and soon disappeared from the old man's sight.
When he could no longer see the backs of the two of them, the old woodcutter sighed, alas, is it right for him to do this, why does the city lord want to arrest them? They don't look like wicked people, after all, how can a chivalrous person who will see injustice be a wicked person.
