Chapter 32: The Devil's Ridge Mandrill
Tang Jue poked his head out and looked around, secretly thinking: Could Long Teng be among these people? She just thought about it in her heart, but she didn't dare to run out rashly, you must know that these people casually raised their hands and hit them with a shuttle bullet, even the gods would become a hornet's nest.
Behind him, Nangong Yi snorted, Tang Jue turned around, and saw that his face was pale and his brows were tightly locked. She couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, touching a hand of sweat. Tang Jue was anxious: "Nangong, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay......" Nangong Yi was sweating profusely and looked very weak.
Tang Jue probed his hand to clasp his vein, and under the investigation of spiritual power, he found that the true qi in his body was exhausted, and there was still a bullet stuck in his shoulder blade. She knew that the seal just now had actually consumed too much internal strength, and later confronted the black-robed man and the little girl Zhongli, in fact, they were all holding on. So he quickly took out the golden needle, quickly pierced the acupoints around his wound to stop the bleeding, and then gave him some spiritual energy to help him recover his strength.
After doing this, I heard Chunhai's voice behind me: "How is Brother Nangong?" ”
"He's fine for the time being, but there's a bullet stuck in his shoulder blade that needs to be removed immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard an indifferent voice above her head: "What are you doing here?" ”
Tang Jue was overjoyed and almost jumped up: "Long Teng!" ”
However, Long Teng ignored her, and just ordered to clean up the things left by the group of men in black to see if he could find any clues.
Tang Jue was quite disappointed in his heart, struggled slightly, or grabbed Long Teng's sleeve when he was about to leave, and said timidly: "Long Teng ......" She looked at his face full of oil paint, thinking of the first time she saw him, he also had such an oil paint, but at that time he was seriously injured and unconscious, and then accompanied him all the way, Long Teng also took great care of her, she had never seen such an indifferent Long Teng.
The answer to her was still an indifferent voice: "What's the matter?" "Seems impatient.
Woo, he pretended not to know her! How could he pretend he didn't know her?!
Tang Jue was very aggrieved in his heart, but he still took a deep breath and told him the whole story, Long Teng didn't say a word, and he didn't react at all until Tang Jue finished speaking. Tang Jue suddenly wanted to pinch him to see if this person was fake, but Long Teng's indifference made her very discouraged.
Long Teng listened to her words and walked away, Tang Jue had no choice but to pull his sleeve again and ask him to help send Nangong Yi to the hospital. Although the level of doctors in the hospital is not as good as her, she still has more important things to do, and the hospital is well-equipped, and she has no knife in the barren mountains and mountains here, so she is really not suitable for surgery.
Long Teng still didn't say anything, but after a while, he ordered a few soldiers to make stretchers out of twigs and tent cloth, and Tang Jue felt a little warmth in his heart, at least he didn't refuse his request.
Unexpectedly, just when she was a little proud in her heart, Long Teng opened his mouth and broke her dream.
"Don't think about anything, I just don't want to see him die here."
Tang Jue couldn't help but blurt out in surprise: "Long Teng ......" Is this still the Long Teng who escorted her to Shilipo and took care of her? She was so aggrieved that tears were about to fall.
However, Long Teng's actions were already too unusual in the eyes of his team of soldiers, and they were simply going to shock people's eyes, when had they ever seen their boss listen to people so patiently? Not to mention agreeing to someone's request so easily! They are the most secretive force in the country and are directly responsible to the central government. Usually any person who goes out can scare the courage of others, let alone their boss? This little girl supported their boss to do things, and their boss actually agreed for the first time.
It's really blinding their titanium alloy dog eyes!
Although Long Teng behaved very indifferently, Tang Jue still handed over Nangong Yi to him with peace of mind and told him to contact Nangong Yi's family.
After she did this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Long Teng: "Thank you for taking care of me some time ago, and now my poisoning has been resolved." ”
"Hmm." Long Teng snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Tang Jue suddenly felt that it was very boring for a person to talk to himself, so he waved his hand: "I still have some things, I hope we can see each other next time." ”
Long Teng's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and he scolded secretly in his heart: "Little girl with no conscience, this is leaving?" But he didn't show it at all, and still gave a faint "um".
Tang Jue couldn't help but feel sour. It's still Nangong good, just before she ordered him to sleep in the cave just now, he also told her not to take risks, wait for him to come back, and gave Tang Jue a piece of jade talisman, saying that if he saw Ling Yao's soul directly received the jade talisman, when the house was broken, Ling Yao would naturally be able to return to the body under the formation.
Longteng's group of people came and went quickly, and after a while, they were completely withdrawn, leaving no traces.
The river lantern in the mountain stream had already floated far away, and Tang Jue and Chunhai could only chase it all the way along the river bank. After passing through the valley where the men in black had camped just now, and walking a long mountain road, there was a large moat in front of them, and there was no road to pass.
Chunhai said: "There is an iron cable in front, and after passing it, it will be Demon Ridge." He watched Tang Jue, a little girl with fine skin and tender meat, going over the mountains and mountains, and felt quite unbearable, but he didn't hear Tang Jue shouting tired along the way.
The two sat on the edge of the cliff to rest, and Tang Jue asked, "What is the place of Demon Ridge?" How did you come up with such a name? There can't really be any demons, right? ”
Chunhai nodded: "When I was a child, I heard the elders in the family say that there are demons living in the Demon Ridge, and ordinary people simply have no way to enter and return, so usually the nearby hunters and medicine pickers will not go to that place." As he said this, Tang Jue thought: Where no one enters, there must be many precious medicinal materials, but because no one enters all year round, there must be many fierce beasts hidden, and there must be many large animals such as reticulated pythons.
Thinking of the reticulated python, she was afraid for a while, although Chunhai's combat power was not weaker than that of Long Teng, she never wanted to experience another vicious battle with cold-blooded reptiles.
"Brother Chunhai, where was Demon Ridge in the past?" She thought that the earth was round, and the back side of this Demon Ridge was not necessarily a Jedi.
Chunhai was silent for a long time, Tang Jue almost thought that he was asleep, but he heard him say, "It's the Dusha tribe." ”
"Dusha tribe? What is that place? Tang Jue was very curious.
"It's the tribe of the black-clothed people who attacked us that day, and the thirteen corpses and blood witch array are also set up by them." Chunhai's words were faintly hateful. Tang Jue didn't understand these things that they kept secret, why Chunhai told her at this time. Similarly, she couldn't understand what kind of hatred Longtan and Dusha had to kill each other like this. However, she thought of one thing: "Didn't the people of Nadu Sand go to Dragon Beach to cross the Demon Ridge?" ”
Chunhai shook his head: "They have another way to go, but it's just ......"
Before she heard him say what it was, Tang Jue saw a white light appear in the woods on the opposite cliff, hazy and soft, like the light emitted by treasures such as the Night Pearl, naturally she had never seen the Night Pearl, but it was described in a book.
And Harumi obviously saw the white light as well, because he naturally stopped and blurted out, "What is that?" ”
"I don't know, let's go over and see." Tang Jue stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the iron cable. This is an arm-thick iron chain, and below it is a bottomless pitch-black abyss, and the slightest accidental fall will be shattered to pieces.
When Tang Jue saw that light just now, she guessed that it was related to Ling Yao's soul, but it was too far away for her to perceive it at all. These days, she and Ling Yao are already very familiar, as long as there is a fluctuation of Ling Yao's breath, she can sense it.
When she was a child, she watched circus performances with her master, and when she saw others walking on a tightrope, she practiced very hard for a while, and her clothes were torn several times. So she broke a long branch in front of her, lifted her foot, and walked up to the rope.
Ordinary people don't feel scared when they walk on a high place, but as long as they look down, they will be so frightened that their legs tremble, Tang Jue knows this truth very well, so he looked ahead, took a breath, walked on the ground as if he was on the ground, his posture was graceful, and he walked to the center of the iron cable very smoothly. Seeing that Chunhai was very stunned for a while, and at this time Chunhai also climbed the iron cable, he didn't dare to hold it up like Tang Jue, and honestly climbed the iron cable forward, even if the posture was a little indecent, but every step was very stable, and there would not be too much danger.
The iron rope was as long as fifty meters, and Tang Jue walked most of it, feeling a little proud in his heart, but unexpectedly, a short person on the opposite side rushed onto the iron rope and rushed towards Tang Jue. If it hits the ground this time, not only Tang Jue will fall into the abyss, but even Chunhai will not be spared.
Chunhai watched from behind, sweating with anxiety. saw Tang Jue take a deep breath, and the branch in his hand swung out sharply, and slammed towards the dwarf. The dwarf was extremely nimble, and when he saw the branch drawn, he quickly turned over and turned upside down, hooked the iron rope with his slender claws, and then opened his teeth and claws, and let out a terrible scream.
Tang Jue saw it clearly, and saw that it was covered with fine hair, two sharp and slender fangs, and its face was crimson, and it was a zongzi. As soon as it screamed, a group of dwarfs ran out of the woods opposite, all of whom screamed sharply.
Tang Jue felt that his eardrums were painful, and he waved a branch and swept it towards the dwarf's feet, wanting to sweep it into the abyss. Unexpectedly, the dwarf suddenly raised his body, grabbed the iron rope with both hands, hung his body upside down and used his four feet together, and quickly crawled towards Tang Jue's side.
Tang Jue suddenly raised the branch and stabbed it in the eye, the dwarf tilted his head, opened his mouth to bite the branch, and dragged it hard, Tang Jue was almost not dragged down by it. But he heard the sound of a breaking wind behind him, and a sharp arrow was inserted into the dwarf's brain, and the dwarf screamed "squeak" and fell down the mountain stream, unable to hear the echo for a long time.
This sudden change caused the dwarfs on the opposite side to scream in unison, all hands on the ground, arching their backs, and making an attacking gesture.
Chunhai had come behind her and said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, these are just mandrills. ”
Mandrill? Tang Jue was shocked, can a mandrill walk upright like a human? And these mandrills are obviously very intelligent.
Before she could finish a thought, the mandrills in front of her screamed and flew over, but fortunately, the iron rope was relatively narrow, and the mandrills could only come up one by one, and Tang Jue would hit them with a swing of a stick.
