Chapter 107: Saving the Strong [Part 3]
Sun Sheng was very puzzled when he saw this, he didn't understand why Zhao Zheng wanted to paste mud on the wounds of the deceased, and a sense of disgust suddenly surged in his heart, after all, in his opinion, "abusing corpses" was an extremely shameless act.
Zhao Zheng saw that Sun Sheng's face changed abruptly, and he knew that the apprentice had misunderstood him, and quickly explained: "It is common for wolves to appear here, but the wolf has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, if you let this person bleed from the wound, but after a long time, the smell of blood will lure the wolf over!" It's a trivial matter for the wolves to eat this kid, and if the "underworld" people in the ditch are startled by the noise due to the fight for food, it will be troublesome! ”
Sun Sheng only knew that wolves could eat people, but he didn't know anything about wolves' sense of smell, so although Zhao Zheng said it was true, he listened to it with half a doubt. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng knew that telling Sun Sheng these things at this time was simply playing the piano to the cow, so he shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Everything in the world has its characteristics, and the same is true for this beast." This is not the time to talk about this, wait until you can save your senior brother and teach you as a teacher! As he spoke, Zhao Zheng raised his hand and pointed ahead, signaling Sun Sheng to move on.
Hearing this, Sun Sheng nodded slightly at Zhao Zheng, and then tiptoed towards the "isolated island" again. To the surprise of Zhao Zheng and his apprentice, the last 100 meters were very smooth, and after more than ten minutes, the two stopped at the edge of the ravine. At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning, and the blinking stars in the night sky and the sound of frogs and insects chirping in the ears from time to time were telling the two of them the vitality and beauty of the night.
The ravine of the black hole is like a hellish river Styx, isolating Zhao Zheng and the "lonely island", Zhao Zheng stared and asked softly: "Sheng'er, how far can your eyes see at the bottom of the ditch?" ”
"Back to Master, naturally it's not as good as now, but it's not the same." Sun Sheng replied.
Zhao Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this, looked at the deep ditch of the forty or fifty-meter-wide black hole in front of him and said: "We are in the east of the 'island' at this time, and the trees in the ditch are dense and cover the sky and the sun, so we must be extra careful when we go down!" If there is really an ambush in the ditch, try to avoid it if you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, tell the teacher and solve it by the teacher! After the deed is done, quickly turn back the way you came, don't run around and bump into their path because of panic! ”
"What if the original path is cut off?" Sun Sheng asked.
Zhao Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Is there really no way to get to this 'Dokdo'?" ”
"Yes, yes, but ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that that road is the only way out to get to 'Dokdo', and there must be a heavy guard by the 'underworld', so you can't go!" Sun Sheng said with a sad face.
"In which direction is this road?" Zhao Zheng asked
"To the South"
Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and said: "If the original road is cut, then we will stand out from the south road!" ”
Sun Sheng nodded slightly in agreement, and then asked, "Then let's go down from here now?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Zheng replied.
Sun Sheng saw Zhao Zheng nodding in response, and after rubbing his hands vigorously, he grabbed the thorny bushes and slowly slid towards the ditch. Zhao Zheng was afraid that he and Sun Sheng were separated at the bottom of the ditch, so he followed closely and slowly groped down. The vegetation on the ditch cliff is dense, there are many places that can be climbed and climbed, although it is more than ten meters high with the city wall, it is very easy to climb, but because of the thorns all over the place, the vegetation is too dense, the "auspicious suit" on the body has become a burden, after coming down from the cliff, the two have become a pair of green roosters who have fried Maoer.
"Master......"
Sun Sheng pulled the grass coat on his body a little impatiently and gasped slightly: "Master, this thing is too much of a hindrance, can the apprentice take it off?" ”
"Can't!"
As soon as Sun Sheng's words fell, he only heard a childish voice fluttering into his ears.
"But ......"
"It's nothing, you'll know the beauty of this grass coat later!" Zhao Zheng whispered.
Sun Sheng saw that Zhao Zheng was resolute, so he had no choice but to give up, and then while sorting out the grass clothes that had been scraped into tatters, he looked around intently. Since stepping into the bottom of the ditch with two feet, Zhao Zheng can only vaguely see the place four or five meters away in front of him, as if he has become a "blind eye", while Sun Sheng has not been greatly affected.
"How?" A few minutes later, Zhao Zheng whispered.
Sun Sheng shook his head and said helplessly: "Back to Master, it's not good!" The ditch is full of weeds and bushes, and there is no figure in sight......"
Sun Sheng unconsciously turned his head and glanced back when he said this, only to find that Zhao Zheng was not full of sadness, but grinned at himself slyly.
"So......"
Zhao Zheng leaned into Sun Sheng's ear and said, "Even you can't see the people in the ditch, let alone ordinary people?" What if the ambush is done? At this time, we are wearing grass clothes, as long as we pay attention to the close distance, it is not very difficult for us to slip past them without noticing! ”
"yes......"
Hearing Zhao Zheng say this, Sun Sheng suddenly realized, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this straw coat. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng smiled and continued: "You always pay attention to the distance in the back, and this close place is handed over to the teacher for observation!" As he spoke, Zhao Zheng took the lead and touched his waist forward.
After all, Zhao Zheng had received professional training in forest night warfare in his previous life, so although his vision was limited at this time, it did not cause much trouble to his actions. Sun Sheng followed closely, the two of them held their breath and moved forward cautiously, and the atmosphere became more and more tense, listening carefully, as if the two could hear each other's "bang" heartbeat. The two of them walked forward in anticipation, and after ten minutes, they stopped by a small stream down a ditch. Everything is so smooth, as the so-called "abnormality is a demon", Zhao Zheng and Sun Sheng did not feel fortunate because the journey went well, but they were worried with the same face.
"Master, how do you feel that something is wrong! I always feel that there are countless eyes around me hiding in the dark, staring at us like fools......" Sun Sheng turned his head and said mosquitoes.
Zhao Zheng actually had the same feeling in his heart at this time, just to stabilize Sun Sheng's mind, and then comforted: "As the saying goes, 'people are scary, scare people to death', let alone scare yourself?" Our master and apprentice have been cautious and cautious all the way, and they have never been out of the pool, how can they alarm the dark sentry and ambush? Don't mess with yourself! ”
"Master's teachings are very true, and the disciples should keep them in mind!" Sun Sheng said slightly when he heard this.
Although Zhao Zheng said this to Sun Sheng, his heart became more and more empty, and he couldn't help but think of the dead corpse above.
"! Could it be true that as Sheng'er said, the two of us have already been exposed? The enemy is just waiting for us to jump into the trap on our own so that we can catch the turtle in an urn? Hiss...... Still is...... Or is it true that the 'underworld' is no longer here, and Lao Tzu mistakenly slaughtered the passer-by? Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart.
Just when Zhao Zheng was entangled, he suddenly heard a wolf howl from the east. The wolf's howl shook the sky, causing the birds in the nearby forest to scurry in the air like crazy.
", so fast!"
Zhao Zheng couldn't believe his ears, turned his head to look east, but heard the sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other from time to time. As soon as Sun Sheng heard it, he knew that it was the sound of personnel running, so he wanted to draw his sword out of its sheath and fight hard with the enemy. Seeing this, Zhao Zheng pressed the handle of Sun Sheng's knife and whispered: "Don't panic, just act according to the original plan!" If someone comes from the opposite side, avoid it in time, and if you can't avoid it, you will decisively kill it! ”
Without waiting for Sun Sheng to reply, Zhao Zheng stepped into the clear stream, while Sun Sheng still followed closely and observed the surroundings very vigilantly.
The stream was knee-high, and the clear and pleasant stream made the two feel a lot more sober. At both ends of the stream, from time to time there was a series of trampling splashes. Zhao Zheng cautiously groped forward while scolding in his heart: "Damn, isn't it just a wolf howl? As for it! A bunch of maniacs ......"
I don't know if it was because of good luck or God's favor, Zhao Zheng and the others came to the bottom of the cliff of the "isolated island" without danger. The so-called "island" is nothing more than a platform several kilometers square, and the reason why it is called "island" is completely because it is surrounded by ravines and isolated from the world. Zhao Zheng and Sun Sheng were in no mood to take a break at this time, grabbed the bushes and thorns on the cliff wall, and the two climbed out of breath. After all, "it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down", and compared to going down the cliff, climbing the cliff is extremely easy. It didn't take long for the two to lie on the "island". More than 20 meters in front of them, a boy was tied to a wooden stake, and beside him, a man also dressed in black stood silently and sculpturally.
- "Master, it's Senior Brother! Sun Sheng said to Zhao Zheng excitedly.
Zhao Zheng's face scanned the surroundings with a solemn face, and a feeling of extreme insecurity suddenly surged into his heart, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to have unknowingly jumped into someone else's trap.
"!"
Zhao Zheng scolded viciously in his heart, at this time, he was not sure of the situation he was in at this time, looking at the big apprentice who was not far away, his brain was running quickly.
"Damn, I can't care so much, it's important to save people first!"
Zhao Zheng knew that time was running out, and after a brief discussion with Sun Sheng, he crawled towards Zhuang little by little. Fortunately, it is overgrown with weeds here, and it is indeed difficult to find Zhao Zhengfu in the grass wearing a grassy "auspicious suit".
"Twenty-five meters...... Twenty meters ...... Fifteen meters ......"
Seeing the pile of weeds in front of him approaching Zhuang little by little, Sun Sheng's heart also went up and down, and when Zhao Zheng was only five or six meters away from Zhuang, his heart also rose to his throat. Just when Sun Sheng was worried about Zhao Zheng, he saw a ray of cold light wrapped in the sound of breaking wind and stabbed the throat of the man in black with great precision. Before the man in black could shout, his body was about to fall to the ground. Just when the man in black was about to fall to the ground and had not touched the ground, Zhao Zheng suddenly rushed over, held the man in black by his hand, and then slowly put him on the ground.
"Rest in peace, brother!"
Zhao Zheng covered the mouth of the man in black, slowly pulled the short knife out of his throat while muttering, and then stabbed him in the heart, and refused to stop until the person was completely dead. Zhao Zheng pulled out the knife, habitually wiped the knife on the man in black, and then hurriedly untied Zhuang. Through the body temperature, Zhao Zheng knew that Zhuang was still alive, and the stone hanging in his heart finally landed. Zhao Zheng waved his hand after untying Zhuang from the stake, and Sun Sheng ran over in three steps and two steps when he saw this.
"Looking at the battle of Fang Cai, it is impossible to go back! Sheng'er, you carry Zhuang on your back to lead the way, and guard the division! As he spoke, the hand that had been holding the short knife turned white.
Sun Sheng didn't talk nonsense when he heard this, he picked up Zhuang with his hand, and then pulled his legs and ran to the south of the "island", Zhao Zheng followed closely and observed the surroundings very vigilantly. I don't know why, along the way, Zhao Zheng's master and apprentice were not hindered in any way, and they didn't even meet a single figure, and after two extremely hidden sheep intestine paths, the three of them finally climbed out of the ravine safely. Everything went so smoothly that Zhao Zheng and Sun Sheng had to be suspicious again, but before the two could speak, they saw a group of wolves staring at them intently not far away.
"I ...... No way! ”
Zhao Zheng and Sun Sheng were suddenly so frightened that their hairs exploded, they couldn't have imagined that this group of wolves who were in the way would be waiting for them here.
"Sheng'er, it looks like there will be a fierce battle tonight!" Zhao Zheng said to Sun Sheng with a cold face.
Sun Sheng didn't reply when he heard this, and the short knife that was originally pinned to his waist was already clenched in his hand. Just when the two were about to fight to the death with the wolves, they saw the first wolf shaking his head and looking at the two with "curiosity", and then led the wolves away after a long howl. Zhao Zheng's master and apprentice were puzzled by the strange behavior of this group of wolves, and watched the wolves disappear into the vast dark night with a confused expression. Just as the two of them stood motionless like fools with short knives in hand, suddenly a noisy shout came from the ravine. Zhao Zheng followed the prestige, and saw a fire dragon moving quickly towards him, and Dayou was about to climb up the ravine. Looking to the east, another fire dragon was outflanking along the edge of the ditch.
"Oh no, run!"
Zhao Zheng shouted at Sun Sheng, and then picked up Zhuang and ran all the way south. Just as Zhao Zheng was carrying Zhuang and Sun Sheng to the south, on the "lonely island", from the two adjacent military tents, Zhang Mancang and Xue Lao walked out of the tent unhurriedly, looking at each other and smiling with mysterious expressions......
