Chapter 420: Empty Cave
Rao Xuekong, they didn't dare to stop. The outer trees of this mountain are sparse, which is not conducive to hiding, and according to Rao Xuekong's guess, those people will catch up quickly, so they dare not stop, and have been trying to run deep into the mountain.
Because Changsheng was carrying Qingqing on his back, Qingsan was injured again, so their speed couldn't be so fast.
After half an hour, the speed slowed down, and Rao Xuekong ordered to rest in place, but as soon as Changsheng let out a sigh and put Qingqing down, there was a sound of someone entering the forest not far behind.
Several people tensed up in an instant.
Rao Xuekong made a gesture, and flew up a tree to look at the way she came, and her face changed at this look.
She was now on a high place, and she could see a large number of Blue Bead soldiers in that direction quickly chasing after them with long knives while plucking weeds.
It looks like there are seven or eight hundred!
"Damn it!"
To arrest her, should she be proud that so many people were dispatched? After all, others don't dare to despise her!
Rao Xuekong jumped off the tree and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”
Several people knew that the pursuers were coming, Changsheng immediately put Qingqing on his back again, Qingwu helped Qingsan again, Qingsi opened the way in front, and after Rao Xuekong was broken, he ran towards the mountains again.
A general shouted loudly in the back: "Mrs. Jin, come out quickly when you hear the voice, the previous incident was a misunderstanding, our Lan Zhu is willing to make friends with Middle Earth, you are the noble lady of Middle Earth Dayu and Hua Dynasty, Lan Zhu will only treat you as a guest, absolutely nothing else!" It's dangerous in the mountains, please come out quickly, General Jin is still waiting for you! ”
His voice reached the ears of Changsheng and the others. Several people's faces sank.
"Madam, see the master today"
Before Qing Wu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Rao Xuekong: "Hurry up, is it time to speak?" ”
They were running wildly in front, and the pursuers behind were speeding up to catch up.
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "I see them!" Right there! ”
Rao Xue was hollow in his heart, they ran to this mountain, there was really no good hiding place, they didn't expect to go to this height, but let the pursuers halfway up the hill see the figure.
She made a gesture, and several people immediately bent down and sneaked forward.
"Concentrate on chasing in that direction! Hurry, chase it! ”
There was a faint voice. Rao Xuekong also said in a deep voice: "The speed is faster." ”
Changsheng ran away with Qingqing on his back for so long. Although he was trained and his skills were good, he was always tired, and they hadn't had time to eat before. Running with weights on an empty stomach for so long. Not everyone can stand it. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he fell down the hillside with Qingqing, and the two of them rolled down the thorny hillside together.
Although Changsheng woke up at the critical moment, he immediately hugged Qingqing and protected her as much as possible. But there were still a lot of thorns that pierced Qingqing, and she couldn't help but scream in pain.
The pursuers behind were already too close, and someone heard her voice and immediately rushed in this direction.
When they fell down just now, Qing Si didn't see it in front, Qing Wu helped Qing San too late to make a move, Rao Xuekong was too late to be behind, and now he saw that they all rolled down the hillside, and the chasing soldiers were already close at hand, if they wanted to save them, it would definitely be too late to run again.
Rao Xuekong gritted his teeth and ordered, "Let's go down!" ”
As he spoke, he took two steps forward and supported Qing San left and right with Qing Wu, and rushed down towards the thorn forest!
Qingsi also immediately rushed down.
In his previous life, when Rao Xue was on a mission, what he hated the most was this plant in the mountains, although those dense spikes were not fatal, but they could make people hurt all over their bodies. In the past, she wore cowhide boots when she went out on a mission, at least the foot board would not hurt, even in the autumn and winter here she also made her own leather boots, just because the weather is not cold now, the boots are still in the luggage and have not been taken out, and now they are wearing light cloth shoes, which will inevitably stab their feet.
Light power can be used, just with people, plus they must borrow strength halfway, and this thorn bush is too big, so big that they can't pass it in one go.
So when they got down the slope, they all had a lot of stab wounds on their bodies. The clothes were somewhat torn.
These small injuries were nothing to them before, but now they are deep in the mountains, they have no medicine, they don't know the way to go, there are pursuers behind them, and every bit of wear and tear in the body is a burden, which may slow down their speed. But now they don't care.
When he got to the bottom of the slope, Rao Xuekong found that there was a natural sheep intestine trail here, with a large area of thorns on it, but a high stone slope below, and a deep river under the stone slope, the river was still very turbulent, and it would be washed away even if it was not injured.
And this sheep's gut path zigzags into a mountain range, and I don't know what lies ahead. There was no time for them to delay their stay.
Because Qingqing and Changsheng rolled down, they must have been densely stabbed on their bodies.
"Changsheng, can you still do it?" Rao Xuekong asked, pulling Qingqing up and putting it on his back.
Changsheng got up with the support of Qingsi and nodded fiercely: "Madam, my subordinates are fine!" ”
"Let's go!"
The sound of chasing soldiers was already heard on the slope, and Rao Xuekong immediately rushed out towards the trail. There were several mountains sandwiched together in front of them, and the trail was like a belt between the two mountains, and once they entered there, the pursuers could not see them again.
"They're down there!"
"Archery!"
A tumultuous sound came from the slope, and soon a large number of feathered arrows burst through the air and shot towards them!
Rao Xuekong gritted his teeth and swooped into the clamp, dodging the arrows. But the Changsheng arm in the back was grazed by an arrow, bringing out a small piece of flesh and skin.
"Ma'am, they're sure they'll be chasing you soon!" Those blue-bead soldiers were wearing soft armor and were not afraid of the thorns.
Rao Xuekong didn't speak, looking up. Between these two mountains, there are strange trees coiled and meandering, and there are rocks and rocks, and there is still a turbulent river on one side, but on the other side of the river, that is, under the adjacent mountain, there is a dark ditch and dark hole, and there are lush trees, and the sun can't shine in, so you can't see the situation inside.
"Madam, let me go" Qingqing on Rao Xuekong's back spoke again, her body hurt everywhere, and her foot was sprained again, Madame was really burdensome with her.
"Go down, cross the river!" Rao Xuekong didn't answer Qingqing, but just gave orders to the others, and then jumped down with Qingqing on his back first.
There is only a narrow river beach below, and it is full of rocks, and when he landed, Rao Xuekong held up on the ground with one hand, so that he did not let himself and Qingqing roll into the river.
Immortals, they also jumped down after him.
Now the problem is how to cross the river.
The river was too fast, and Qingsan was injured. The pursuers came up again.
Rao Xuekong glanced at a tree by the river opposite, and said, "Untie your belts and tie them to a long rope, quickly." ”
Several people immediately complied.
Rao Xuekong tied a stone to the end of the cloth rope, waved it, squinted slightly at a certain branch of the tree, and threw the rope over!
The other end of the stone was wrapped around the branch, and she pulled it, and immediately tiptoed, pulled the rope and swung it lightly! Then she tied a stone to the other end and threw it at them.
The Changsheng and the others swung over in this way, then untied the cloth rope and quickly burrowed into the dark hollow under the mountain.
The next second they had just gotten in, the pursuers were where they had been.
"What about people?"
"It shouldn't be possible to run far, chase!"
"Is it possible that they crossed the river, my lord? It looks like it's all dark, maybe it's hiding. A voice came.
The lord groaned for a moment, and then ordered, "Take fifty people across the river to search!" ”
"Yes!"
Rao Xuekong's originally slightly relaxed heart immediately lifted.
"Let's go."
Rao Xuekong whispered a word, and walked inside with Qingqing on his back again.
They didn't dare to make a sound, they didn't dare to light a fire, so they could only fumble their way inside.
The bottom of this mountain really seems to be half empty, and there is a cold wind blowing in it, but it feels very hollow, there are large stones under your feet, and your hands sometimes touch some boulders that are one person high, and sometimes it seems to pass through a hole, but after passing it is still such a dark cave, as if there is no end.
Qingqing felt a little scared, she lay on Rao Xuekong's back, and felt that she was too burdensome, and at the same time she was very moved by Rao Xuekong's burdensome behavior of running for her life and not abandoning her. In her opinion, Rao Xuekong is the best master in the world, and even if she is asked to die for her in the future, she will have no objection.
At first the sound of the pursuers could be heard, but as they got deeper, the sound behind them was cut off, except for the faint sound of their own footsteps and breathing, except for the occasional dripping of water from the cave on the stones.
"Madam" Qingqing was so frightened that she couldn't help but tremble and scream.
But the crowd soon found that her voice seemed to echo in the emptiness, which said that the mountains of the cave were really unexpected.
Rao Xuekong whispered, "Anli said that this mountain is enough for us to hide, maybe this is the place he said. ”
They are not familiar with the fog, but Anli is very familiar, yesterday Anli said that this mountain is dangerous, but at the same time it is also very suitable for hiding, asked Rao Xuekong what he meant, Rao Xuekong wanted to find an opportunity to get some medicine and then enter the mountain, but things have changed.
Qing Wu said: "I don't know where An Li is?" This morning he said that he would go into the mountains to explore the way, and we didn't meet him all the way. ”
"Anleck is very clever and will be fine." Rao Xuekong held Qingqing with one hand and explored in front with the other. But in fact, her eyesight is better than everyone else, and in this darkness, she can see some shadows vaguely.
At that moment, a figure flashed before her eyes. (To be continued......)
