Chapter 167, The Man with the Broken Arm
Saruo and Xiaoye didn't know where the Qingyu Sect was, but they only knew that when the five sects were separated in Mugu Village, the Qingyu Sect had been going west, so they had been traveling westward in the mountain range, hoping to get out of this mountain range as soon as possible and ask for the address of the Qingyu Sect where there were people.
This mountain range is called Yuheng Mountain Range, the woods in the mountains are verdant and green, the scenery is elegant, Saruo Xiaoye ran in the mountains for a day, and by the next day, it was confirmed that Yang Zongtian would not chase after him again, so they were not in such a hurry as before, so they stopped and walked in the woods, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the mountains from time to time.
Xiao Ye has a lively personality, and he is surprised by everything he sees along the way. When he sees a boulder, he will climb up and sit, and when he sees a big tree hugged by several people, he will beckon Saruo to hug him, and sometimes when he encounters a waterfall, he will jump into the waterfall to take a bath, in short, there is a small leaf beside him, and there is no quiet moment.
Sa Ruo is not in a good mood like Xiao Ye because of Sisi, but he is not as gloomy as he was at the beginning, and sometimes he will cooperate with Xiao Ye to make trouble with him.
Early in the morning of the third day, they were on the top of a hill, and after a few low hills, they saw a large number of houses in the distance, which seemed to be some kind of village, and beyond the village was a large road that winded to the west, and it seemed that the road was like a white ribbon, and it seemed that they were about to go out of the Yuheng Mountains. Xiao Ye shouted excitedly, and Saruo urged Xiao Ye to hurry up and hurry to the village.
At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature was so high that Saro only felt a stinky sweat. When they were halfway down the mountain, they heard the sound of rumbling water from behind the trees, and Xiao Yexi said, "It seems that there is another waterfall, let's go wash it!" Saro nodded in agreement.
Turning through a large wooded area, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and after walking again, a path led to a large pool, on which a white chain fell straight down from a height of several tens of meters into the pool, and then flowed down the hill through the gap in the pool, and the fog was rising on the pool.
Saruo Xiaoye rushed to the waterhole together, did not take off his clothes, jumped directly in, the water in the waterhole was cold and biting, but Saruo felt just right, it was a lot cooler, Xiaoye exclaimed, and after washing for a while, he began to sprinkle water on Saruo's body, Saruo did not show weakness, sprinkling water and fighting back.
The two of them washed for a while and then returned to the shore and used their spiritual power to steam and dry their clothes. When he was about to leave, Saruo saw that there seemed to be a person lying on the big rock behind the waterfall, so he said: "Xiao Ye, look!" Xiao Ye said: "That seems to be a person, when did he get there, we don't know, hey, hey, hey"
Xiao Ye shouted a few times, but the man didn't answer, and Sa Ruo said, "I'll take a look." Feng Feitian's body unfolded, his feet stepped on the ground, and the person flew towards the waterhole, stepped on the water surface again, pounced on the waterfall, and landed on a stone.
I saw a middle-aged man lying on a stone, about forty years old, with a beard on his upper lip, his face was pale, his left arm was in tatters, and under the tattered clothes, only half of the wall of the hand was left, and the blood was dry.
Thinking that the man was dead, Saruo reached out to probe his nose, and found that he was still breathing weakly, and was shocked, and hurriedly picked him up, and in a few ups and downs he had returned to the shore of the waterhole and laid him on the ground.
Xiao Ye said: "Who is this person, why is he injured?"
Saro did not answer, but was already examining his injuries, and found that he was not lightly injured.
The muscles and veins in his body are messy, many ribs are broken on his chest, and the broken part of his left arm is uneven, which seems to be injured by a fierce beast, which is very scary.
Sa Ruowei groaned, took out a few healing pills, and gave them to this person, and luckily healed him, and after a while, the medicine dissolved, and the person woke up slowly, and Xiao Ye hurriedly supported him.
Saro asked, "This uncle, who are you, and how did you get so seriously injured?"
The man pointed to the direction of the woods, and said weakly: "Save, save people" After speaking, he fainted again, Saruo Xiaoye looked at each other, Saruo said: "Xiaoye, what he means, it seems that there are still people on the other side of the woods, you are guarding him here, I will go in and have a look." ”
Xiao Ye said: "But he"
Saro said: "He is too seriously injured, and it depends on him whether he wakes up or not." ”
Saruo went into the woods, only to feel that the woods were quiet, and a chill rose in his heart, he searched carefully in the woods, but the woods were not very big, and Saruo searched until the edge of the woods and found nothing, Saruo frowned, wondered in his heart, and was ready to retreat.
But suddenly he found that there were blood stains everywhere on a low bush at the edge of the woods, and Saruo approached the bush and looked closely, and found an arm in the bush, and the rags on this arm were the same as those on the man's hand, all black, which was obviously the man's arm just now.
The bloodstains extended to a rocky outside the forest, and Saruo followed the bloodstains, and some of the plants that grew out of the rocks also had blood stains, and as soon as he turned the rocks, Saro found a cave on the mountain wall, the entrance of the cave was three zhang high and three zhang wide, and the stone wall at the entrance of the cave was full of vines.
Saruo saw a bloody hand stretched out on the ground to the left of the cave, and Saruo wondered if this was the man with the broken arm who was trying to save.
Saruo hurried over, but he was startled by what he saw, and only one hand was outstretched, and there was nothing but the hand.
The light in the cave was dark, and Saruo was worried that he didn't want to go in, but he was afraid that there would be the man's companion in the cave, so he still made up his mind to go in and investigate.
Saruo flipped his palm, and the six-mangled crystal appeared in his hand, and under the red light, Saruo slowly walked towards the cave, and a smell of blood wafted out of the cave, which made people nauseated.
The cave is a very wide space, there are strange stalactites hanging above the head, a narrow road leads to the cave, the right side of the narrow road is the stone wall, the stone wall is also the stalactites of the folded costumes, the left side of the narrow road is a gentle slope, below the gentle slope is an open flat land, more than a dozen huge stalactite pillars on the flat ground are supported to the top of the cave, the surface of these stone pillars seems to have a smooth bead one by one, under the red light, these beads are shining.
Saruo saw a person leaning on a stalactite pillar, his hands hanging on the ground, he fed a few times, the man did not move, Saruo spread his body and jumped down the gentle slope.
He walked behind the man and patted the man on the shoulder, and the man fell, and Saro couldn't help but be startled when he saw it, only to see that the lower half of the man's body was bitten off by something, and there was a pool of blood in front of him, Saruo was about to vomit, and he couldn't help himself, he tried the man's snort, and found that he was dead.
Next, Saro found four more corpses behind a stone pillar, and these corpses were horrific deaths, either missing hands or missing
feet, and one of them didn't even have its head gone.
Saruo couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the cave and vomited.
After a while, Saruo went into the cave again to investigate, fortunately this time he didn't find anything, he hurried out of the cave, he didn't want to stay in this cave for a moment, when he got out of the hole, he faintly felt that there was a gaze staring at him, but he turned his head suddenly, but found nothing, Saruo secretly thought that he was frightened by those corpses.
When he returned to the waterfall, the middle-aged man had not woken up. Xiao Ye asked, "Saruo, have you saved anyone?" Saro said, "His companions seem to be dead." Xiao Ye said: "What's the matter?" Sa Ruo said: "It seems to have been bitten to death by some fierce beast, let's leave here quickly, it's not safe here." ”
Xiao Ye said: "Then what should he do?" Sa Ruo said: "Carry him down the mountain first, and then talk about it when you get to the village in front." Xiao Ye said: "Do you carry it or do I carry it?" Sa Ruo said: "What do you say?" Xiao Ye said: "Okay, I'll carry it." ”
In the evening, they finally came to the foot of the mountain, and then crossed the four or five hills in front of them to the village, because there were people on their backs, their speed was a lot slower, so Saruo was ready to rush overnight.
After crossing the first hill, the middle-aged man woke up once, and as soon as he woke up, he looked left and right, his eyes were full of worry, and Saro told him about what he found in the cave, and the middle-aged man burst into tears and said, "All are dead, all are dead"
Saro asked, "Uncle, what happened, did you encounter a fierce beast?"
The middle-aged man nodded weakly and said, "We, let's go round up the blue-eyed snake, but, but, I didn't expect it to be so powerful, we, we are not opponents"
After saying this, the middle-aged man fainted again, and Saro shook his head. Xiao Ye said: "It must be the Neidan who covets the beast again, isn't it, hey, greed kills people."
Sa Ruo also agreed with what Xiao Ye said, greed kills people, those fierce beasts are generally hidden in the mountains, and they will not take the initiative to attack people, if they don't take the initiative to provoke it, they must not suffer this catastrophe.
Saruo shook his head, stopped talking, rounded up the fierce beast, coveted Neidan, this middle-aged man must also be a crazy person in pursuit of strength, Saruo really didn't know whether to save him at this time.
They rested for a moment and set off again. This middle-aged man is very strong-willed, and ordinary people are basically unable to survive such a serious injury from him, but this middle-aged man actually survived slowly, and woke up several times halfway.
At the time of the third watch, Saruo Xiaoye was already on the top of the last low mountain, and at this time he could already see the little lights in the village below, Xiaoye was surprised: "Saruo, strange, very strange, why are all the lights of all the houses in this village on?"
Saro had already noticed this, so he said, "Just go and see." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man on Xiao Ye's shoulder woke up again, and as soon as he woke up, he also saw the lights in the village, and then he became excited and said: "No, no, I can't give up, I want to go back, I want to catch the blue-eyed snake, otherwise everyone in the village will die!"
The middle-aged man struggled to climb down Xiao Ye's shoulder as he spoke, and after he climbed down, he couldn't stand and fell to the ground, but even if he fell, he was still crawling back.
