Chapter 40: The Killing Grounds
Nie Lingfeng deliberately hid his whereabouts on a section of the road after entering Lashio, so he had already calculated that the pursuers behind him would not arrive until the early morning of the next day at the earliest, so after Nie Lingfeng entered Longwang Mountain, he first filled his stomach, and then held two pieces of jade to recover his strength, and then arranged it in the woods.
He first dug a small cave of three or four square meters on the side of a hillside, and laid out the outside of the cave, which would be the first battlefield for him to hunt his pursuers.
Since Nie Lingfeng had now reached the middle grade of the Qi Refining Period, both the Fireball Technique and the Ice Needle Technique could be used, but the Fireball Technique and the large-area Ice Needle Technique were very mana-intensive, so he decided to use a single Ice Needle Technique to kill the pursuers here.
Like this kind of single ice needle technique, the mana consumption is very small, because in this primeval forest, the leaves are full of shiny dew drops and water droplets, and these naturally formed water droplets and mist will turn into sharp ice needles under the traction of Nie Lingfeng's aura, when they pierce the enemy's body, they will immediately explode, and this ice needle will immediately turn into water mist and disappear into the other party's blood, even if the forensic professional instrument checks it, the faint water droplets will not reveal their original shape, they can only see the deceased's internal organs. Nie Lingfeng's purpose in doing this was to scare those pursuers and make them feel terrified of him, and he would never dare to harass him in the future.
And in front of this cave, there is a wide clearing. Here, there are only a few lonely trees, and a small stream. And in the back, Nie Lingfeng didn't have to scruple at all, because there was a relatively steep hillside behind him, so once he hid in it and covered it a little with a branch, no one would find out about his existence. The creek can also serve as a warning to itself, and if someone wants to get close to them, the sound of treading water can definitely attract their attention.
When Nie Lingfeng arranged the cave, it was almost dawn, so he took out his mobile phone and made up a text message to his father, telling him not to worry, he went abroad to work, and he would go back in about a month or two; sent a text message to Liu Dan and Lan Lan respectively, telling them that they had important things in China and that it was inconvenient to meet them, and asked them not to worry.
In fact, Nie Lingfeng's purpose in doing this was that Lan Lan and Liu Dan knew that they were in danger in Myanmar, so they ran desperately to find him and were caught by the enemy, so he lied to them that he was in China.
After thinking for a while, Nie Lingfeng finally gave up the courage to send a text message to Xue Meilin, speaking of which, during this time, Nie Lingfeng has been thinking about calling Xue Meilin or sending a text message, but whenever he takes out the phone, he regrets it, this time, he still turned off the phone with a wry smile.
Nie Lingfeng took advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet brought him, and walked towards the way he came, wanting to attract the attention of the pursuers.
Because when he entered the forest, he ran all the way, and the surrounding area was pitch black, so some of the terrain was not remembered clearly, and now, along the way, he walked and watched carefully.
"Huh?" Nie Lingfeng looked at a valley in front of him in surprise, this valley seemed to be a little familiar, speaking of which, it was not that the valley was familiar, but that the peaks on both sides of the valley were a little impressive!
"Drawing! One of those five pictures is here! Nie Lingfeng was overjoyed, because in the picture, this was originally a river, but now the river has disappeared, and only the strange rocky riverbed remains. But fortunately, Nie Lingfeng's memory is very good, otherwise, others would not have found this place even with a map.
Since the map was still hidden in the box under the bed in his bedroom, Nie Lingfeng could only walk towards the location marked with the red dot by his impression, speaking of which, he was already a little disheartened, in his opinion, even if there was a treasure here, it would have disappeared a long time ago, after all, the river was gone, could that treasure still exist?
After walking for about two kilometers, Nie Lingfeng stopped, he stood in place to watch carefully and feel slowly, but there were stones that had been dug up all around, and there was no aura ...... exist, "Huh? Nie Lingfeng suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, there was a huge stone behind a huge tree on the side!
He walked over slowly. This stone was a bit special, which aroused Nie Lingfeng's suspicions: this stone was extremely huge, and it seemed to be born out of thin air, and the big tree grew next to the boulder. If the stone is naturally formed, then the tree does not grow close to the boulder without bending at all, and there is even a large patch of thorny grass with no name between the stone and the tree.
Nie Lingfeng looked at the degree of weathering at the bottom of the stone and the degree of weathering on the surface of the stone, and made the following conclusion: The big tree is five or six hundred years old, and this stone has only been moved here for sixty or seventy years, this stone is very ordinary granite, and it should be submerged in water all year round, which can be seen from the smoothness of the surface of the stone. It's like there's a pedestal on this huge stone, and it's been moved here later! Sixty or seventy years ago, in this barren woods, who had the ability to move these thousands or even tens of thousands of tons of stones to this wilderness?
Nie Lingfeng was dumbfounded, at that time, this was not a task that humans on the earth could accomplish at all!
Is there some mystery in this? Could this be the location and secret of the red dot? Nie Lingfeng thought about it and immediately took out a sharp sapper shovel. This sapper shovel was obtained by him in the jade trading market, without this shovel, the cave in front of him would not have been completed so quickly, now, he wants to dig the bottom of the stone to see if there are any secrets in it.
With the movement of his aura, the sapper shovel carried away a large patch of dirt with each blow, and in a few moments, a large hole was dug in the side of the stone, near the tree.
"Sure enough, there's something!" Nie Lingfeng felt the sapper shovel touch a metal-like thing, and a muffled sound came. He immediately sped up his excavation, after all, time was of the essence. In case the pursued person finds himself in advance, it will be troublesome.
As Nie Lingfeng's speed increased, a rotten rifle was dug up!
"Holy! What the hell is this? "Nie Ling was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother! It turned out that under the stone, he actually dug up a corpse, judging from the other party's rotten clothes and the spear in his hand, this was the body of a Japanese soldier who invaded Burma sixty or seventy years ago, and the sound of the metal just now was the sound of his own sapper shovel touching the bayonet on the spear.
Nie Lingfeng threw away the broken gun, took a snort, and then crawled out of the cave, although he didn't find any treasures, but confirmed his thoughts: this stone was moved from somewhere else, and there may be a lot of corpses buried under the stone.
After cleaning up the scene and stirring up the weeds, Nie Lingfeng hurriedly ran towards the sniper position he had arranged. In his calculations, the pursuers should have entered Longwang Mountain by now following their own walking route.
Back in the cave, Nie Lingfeng first held the jade to recover a little aura, and then looked carefully towards the periphery.
He had already heard a lot of messy, hurried footsteps in the woods.
After a while, more than a dozen Japanese people wearing various colors of clothes and holding weapons in their hands were the first to chase here.
When this group of dwarves saw the stream in the middle of the woods, they immediately danced happily, and wanted to run up to drink water, but they didn't expect Nie Lingfeng to flick the magic trick in his hand, and silently recited a word in his mouth: "Burst!" Suddenly, an ice needle flew down from the leaves and slammed into the heart of one of the killers. The dwarf only felt a chill in his heart, and then, a cold chill exploded in his heart. He involuntarily ran two steps before falling headlong to the ground.
"Huh?" A short man running in front suddenly fell to the ground without a sound, and several short men behind suddenly braked suddenly, and one of them looked at his companion who fell to the ground in front of him in horror, and shouted: "Fukuda-kun......?" ”
"Poof! ......" was another soft sound. Immediately afterwards, the screaming dwarf also fell to the ground.
"Okayama-kun, what's wrong with you? …… Belch! ……”
After a while, more than a dozen frightened, as if they had seen the devil, all fell into the woods, and there was no trace of life.
Nie Lingfeng let out a long breath, if this kind of tiny spell encounters an immortal cultivator, even if it is a low-grade cultivator in the Qi refining period, it will be in vain, because the immortal cultivator has already tempered his body, and their physique has undergone a qualitative change, but against these weak mortals, this ice needle technique can definitely be called an "immortal technique".
Since it was a spell, Nie Lingfeng of course had to lose a lot of mana, although the mana consumed by the Ice Needle Technique was weak, but to cast a spell at such a distance, coupled with the fact that there was no spiritual energy between heaven and earth to replenish the spiritual power consumed, Nie Lingfeng already felt a little tired at this time, so he had to hold the jade again and slowly recover his mana.
