Chapter 64: Departure
Instead, stay where you are and regain your strength. After all, the danger in the jungle cannot be ignored. Although they did not encounter any danger during the day or two. But now that you choose to walk at night, you can't guarantee that you won't encounter any wild beasts.
If they do encounter a wild beast, they must also have sufficient physical strength to fight. Otherwise, you really won't be able to get out of this dense forest. Although anxious now the tutors are outside. But you can't mess around.
Several people formed a circle on all sides, so that they could react as soon as possible in the first situation. They put their backs in the hands of the people they trust the most.
After this trip to the jungle, several people have more trust in each other. This will be crucial for Su Xiaran in the future. It can also be said that it laid the foundation for Su Xiaran's future power.
Su Xiaran and the others, who were originally trapped in the dense forest, were not distracted because they couldn't find a way out for the time being. After a calm analysis, several people finally determined a direction according to the orientation of the moon.
Su Xiaran thought that this time it was possible to return to the same place, but she didn't expect that they could actually keep the clouds open and see the moon. I really found my way back in the end.
As the scene in front of you becomes more and more familiar. Fu Yingting knew that this was the place they had walked when they came in before. According to the memories of the past, several people gradually figured it out. The most fearful thing in such a dense forest is that some people lose themselves after getting lost for a while.
Although Su Xiaran and the others had missed the place before, they gave up because they got lost, or showed a desperate look, if they even gave up on themselves, they would not be able to get out of the country no matter what.
And the head of the sect and the cold moon mentor outside, they had already waited until the last day of the ten days, and seeing that Su Xiaran and Fu Yingting had not come out yet, they decided to go into the dense forest to look for them, even if they were corpses, they had to take them out.
Only Mentor Yan Kuan did not approve of their approach. He thinks that going in at this time will not help, and he may miss them directly. If they did come back, wouldn't they have to send someone in to inform the head of the house?
But if they are really unfortunate and can't get out, it should be like this. Then stay in it forever. Several people almost quarreled because they couldn't reach a consensus on this.
If you want to say that the most proud one is Mentor Yu. Master Yu, who was very dissatisfied with the fact that the winner did not have his own disciples, is now watching them pinch each other and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Especially seeing Fang Lan, who was so hopeless for Mentor Cold Moon's return, died again, which made her feel even more happy. But just as she enjoyed a few days of good days. But he got news from his disciple that Su Xiaran and they would be back soon.
In fact, not long after Su Xiaran and the others entered the dense forest. Mentor Yu was not idle, but placed a mercenary mission in the city of Fenglin Kingdom. Let the people with strong martial arts also go into the periphery of the dense forest.
is to wait for Su Xiaran and if they come back alive, when they are close to the exit, they will all be wiped out in one fell swoop. This kind of wishful thinking is extremely shrewd, thinking that even if Su Xiaran and they can really come out alive, it will consume a lot of physical strength.
Mentor Yu will be able to take this opportunity to annihilate all the proud protΓ©gΓ©s of his opponent's mentor. At that time, it is enough to say that they died in the danger of the jungle. It can also make Tutor Yan Kuan and Mentor Cold Moon regret it for the rest of their lives.
This kind of thing kills two birds with one stone, and the teacher will naturally do it. Mentor Yu, who was in his courtyard with this wishful thinking, heard the news that they were about to go to the periphery, so he asked himself to arrange the people in the periphery in advance to prepare.
As soon as Su Xiaran and the others arrived, they would start. Although Yu Mentor is also a little nervous in his heart, he is afraid that when the East Window incident happens, everything will affect him. But she also knew that this was the best chance to get rid of them.
Missed this opportunity, and when they returned to the Xuanyun Sect safely, it would be Master Yu himself who had a hard time. Thinking of this, Yu Guru, who didn't care about his own conscience, was ruthless.
And Su Xiaran and the others had gradually walked to the periphery of the dense forest at this time. I thought that I would be able to return to the sect soon. Everyone's mood is also very good. Just when everyone thought that there was no danger above. But I was attracted by a strange atmosphere in the air.
The crowd stopped. Su Xiaran said: "I seem to feel something, if there is someone, please come out now, don't pretend to be a ghost anymore." β
Su Xiaran saw that the silence around her was terrifying, and her intuition told her that if she went further, she would be waiting for her. If you look closely, you can see the mechanism that had been set up not far from them.
A very hidden rope that ordinary people really can't find. Originally, just in case, this group of mercenaries hired by Mentor Yu had set a trap on the road that Su Xiaran and they had to pass when they came back, and as soon as they entered the trap, they could directly take their lives.
Seeing that Su Xiaran and they were not hit, the people who were hiding in the shadows poured out all of a sudden. One of them, who resembled the head of the regiment, said; "It seems that the employer is right, you four people are really difficult to deal with, it seems that you still have to fight hard."
As soon as they walked here, Su Xiaran and the others had already sensed that something was wrong. I thought that there might be someone waiting for me here. Listening to his tone now, it was clear that they had been arranged by someone else here.
Who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of them? It seems that this matter will have to be investigated carefully when it returns to the Xuanyun Sect. The mercenary group, which originally thought that this task was easy to complete, did not expect these people to be so keen, and they had to pay attention to them at this time.
However, relying on his own large number of people, the head of the mercenary group was not afraid, and felt that the end must be that they died here, so he said directly: "We received a heavy mission to take your lives, and it seems that you have no life to go back." β
Su Xiaran smiled and said: "We have no grievances with you, it is not good if we take our lives because of money, they all say that the mercenaries are people with poor families, and I don't want to take your lives, you can go back now, otherwise it will be difficult to say if there are any deaths or injuries in the fight." β
When the head of the mercenary group saw Su Xiaran say this, he said a little angrily: "Rude boy, what a big breath, see if I don't take off your head today, let you see how powerful Lao Tzu is." β
They didn't take Su Xiaran's persuasion seriously, they only felt that Su Xiaran was provoking and intimidating them. In fact, Su Xiaran's original intention was to really want them to stop, because she didn't want to hurt any innocent people.
These people also came to them for money, and they wanted to give them one last chance to stop. Since they don't want to blame Su Xiaran, they are welcome. But nothing good will happen to anyone who wants to take their lives.
The head of the mercenary group no longer hesitated, and directly asked all the brothers who were hiding to rush up and surround Su Xiaran and them. Fu Yingting, Fang Lan, and Han Bai also drew their swords and greeted them the moment they rushed up.
A crowd of people messed up. Su Xiaran did not get involved. Instead, while the three of them were holding back that group of people, they quietly withdrew from the battle circle. Rather, they watched from the sidelines.
Su Xiaran, who did not pull out his sword, took out the plum blossom needle after a certain distance from them. Since the plum blossom needle was only suitable for sneak attacks as a hidden weapon, Su Xiaran couldn't let them discover themselves.
That's why Fu Yingting diverted the attention of these people. This time through the dense forest, Su Xiaran's accuracy in using the plum blossom needle has almost reached the realm of 100 shots.
She didn't want to take the lives of these mercenary groups, but they didn't know what to do. But as long as he thought that his current Achu was also a mercenary, Su Xiaran couldn't bear to be a killer.
Thinking that they were also running around for a living, the plum blossom needle in their hands couldn't shoot out for a long time. Seeing Fu Yingting, the three of them were becoming more and more difficult to resist a group of people. Su Xiaran could only be ruthless. Shoot the plum pin.
The leader of the mercenary group, who thought that victory was in sight, watched his brothers fall one by one, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He didn't expect this group of people to be so difficult to deal with.
Until now, he hadn't seen the person who spoke wildly before, and he also knew that Su Xiaran must be hiding in the shadows now, solving their lives one by one.
As if he had made a major decision, the leader of the mercenary group suddenly issued an order to let his remaining brothers stop. Seeing that they all stopped fighting. Fu Yingting and the others did not take advantage of the victory to pursue again.
Su Xiaran seemed to be waiting for him to make up his mind, and he didn't come out of the shadows in a hurry.
The leader of the mercenary group glanced everywhere, and then finally chose to look at Fu Yingting and said: "This time, our red-blooded mercenary group is not as good as others, and it can't take this task, and it will suffer heavy damage." But these are my brothers, and I beg you to let us live, and I really don't want to see them leave me one by one. β
The members of the Red Blood Mercenary Regiment looked at their leader with tears in their eyes one by one. Su Xiaran and Fu Yingting could see that there was an extraordinary unity within this mercenary group.
Although they should never have hit their minds, since they have stopped now, it is not impossible to forgive. Fu Yingting opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, we will also let you live this time, you can go." β
After receiving Fu Yingting's answer, the head of the mercenary group thanked him and left with his dead brothers.
For Su Xiaran and them, the result is the same whether they let them go or not. Mercenary missions are posted anonymously, and there is no useful information asked from them.
Now Su Xiaran didn't pay much attention to this group of mercenaries, and what worried her was the person who posted the task behind her. The enemy hidden behind is the most feared, because she will often make you unguarded.
Mentor Yu, who was waiting for news from the Xuanyun Sect, did not expect that his plan would fall through. She thought that Fu Yingting and Su Xiaran were nothing more than better swordsmanship, but the mercenary group had a large number of people, and even if they fought directly, it would be a winning situation.
But she didn't know that among the four of them, Su Xiaran was a variable. And she still doesn't know that Su Xiaran doesn't just know swordsmanship. Because those mercenaries would not tell Su Xiaran about it.
Being a mercenary has always been affectionate and righteous, and Su Xiaran and they let them live. Naturally, they won't say anything behind their backs.
After many dangers, the crowd finally walked out of the dense forest. After coming out, everyone looked back, looked at the dense forest, thought about what they had experienced inside, and after looking at each other, they walked towards the Xuanyun Sect together.
They planned to return to the Xuanyun Sect first, and then go to the council hall.
