Chapter 240: The Deadly Mountain Road
"You're finally awake......"
Nangong Yi's cold face, the moment he saw Lin Jue wake up, he revealed something like a summer sun.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't have the extra strength to speak again now, his feet seem to be tied with a thousand gold, although he tries his best to show that Izumo is light and breezy, but from the intermittent voice, Lin Jue still feels struggling.
But the two of them had just walked a few steps when suddenly a stone rolled down from the top of the mountain behind them, although it was not large, but according to the fact that they were unable to stand on their feet now, even a small stone could bring them to the bottom of the mountain.
"Be careful——!!
Lin Jue shouted in fright.
But apparently it was too late, and in the middle of the shouting, the stone had already rolled down in the direction of the two of them.
Suddenly, it seemed like a gust of wind was blowing past her, and in an instant, she was dragged by a force and fell to the nearby mountain wall. The rock rolled past them smoothly and unimpeded to the bottom of the cliff.
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but before the second breath could come up, an arrow suddenly grazed her ear, but fortunately, only a few hairs were cut off. Before she could react, the arrow was caught by Nangong Yi, and then she threw the arrow back with a backhand.
A wail sounded in the darkness not far away, and it seemed as if a man had fallen in response.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "ping pong", and when Lin Jue turned around, he found that in the blink of an eye, the two of them had been surrounded, densely packed, all of them were black-clothed people, and each of them was holding a big knife in their hands.
At this time, they were staring at Lin Jue and the two of them with murderous intent.
The two parties confronted each other, and Lin Jue tightened the corner of Nangong Yi's clothes a little nervously.
The situation is very unfavorable for the two of them. Nangong Yi was seriously injured, and she didn't know martial arts, there were so many people on the other side, and needless to say that they were all masters, even if they were powerless scholars, so many people, the two of them couldn't resist it.
On the left is a mountain cliff, and on the right is a rock wall.
The two of them have almost nowhere to run.
The man in black didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a confrontation for a while, he shouted and rushed towards the two of them-
Lin Jue's face turned pale with fright, and while holding Nangong Yi hard, he took out the dagger from his arms and began to resist. At this moment, Nangong Yi, who had been silently supported by her, took two steps forward and blocked in front of her.
Nangong Yi leaned against the stone wall with his back and resisted with his bare hands the people who kept slashing at him with big knives, although he was empty-handed, he was killed. He resisted for a moment, as if he didn't want to waste time, and suddenly snatched the big knife from one of the men with his backhand, and then leaped to his feet and slashed at the crowd of people who had gathered around him.
For a while, blood was splashed, and the pungent smell of blood seemed to permeate all around, as if it was just a turn, and around the two of them, there were already more than a dozen corpses lying horizontally, and many more corpses, falling into the bottomless cliff.
The leading strong man panicked, he had walked the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, but he had never seen such a seriously injured, but still such a skilled person. No, the one in front of me is not a human at all, it is simply a bloodthirsty and dead-killing ghost! But the reward given by the man was too generous, and he really couldn't bear the mutton in his mouth flying in vain.
So he gritted his teeth, waved the big knife in his hand, and slashed at Nangong Yi hard.
Hand up and knife down.
A handful of blood splashed on the trunk of the tree next to him, and the strong man in the lead stared at the cold face in front of him, and slowly collapsed to the ground.
The hustle and bustle suddenly fell silent.
The hand holding the broadsword drooped weakly, and the broadsword fell on the uneven mountain road with a muffled sound. Nangong Yi's face was pale, the freshly bandaged wounds on his body had all been cracked, and the fine and bright red blood oozed out through the clothes on his body, like bright peonies.
"Nangong Yi ......"
Lin Jue's voice was trembling.
"I'm fine......", Nangong Yi looked up at her, her voice became fragmented, "Hurry up now, the other party's reinforcements are about to arrive......"
"Okay, I'll hold you ......"
Lin Jue gritted his teeth, endured unprecedented fear and grief, and carefully helped Nangong Yi up, but at this moment, there was a sound of Suo Suo in front, Nangong Yi's eyes lit up, signaling Lin Jue not to go anymore, suddenly screamed, and then Lin Jue saw a man in black being hung upside down on a big tree.
It looks like I've stepped on some kind of mechanism.
The man in black is good, this point of mechanism doesn't seem to be able to trap him, after being hung upside down, he didn't even think about it, he directly pulled out a knife from his waist, slashed hard, and quickly cut the rope hanging her, and the whole person fell from mid-air.
"What kind of prey do you want to catch in this little trap?"
After landing on his feet, the man in black patted the fallen leaves on his body and sneered contemptuously. (To be continued.) )
