Chapter 1061: Please Let Me Die with Dignity
The mountains and forests under the moonlight do not have much beauty, but are gloomy and a little terrifying, the wind blows through the forest, and the terrible strange howl is intermittent, and occasionally two wild wolves are added, and the cry of the night is even more terrifying. This is a paradise for birds and beasts, not a paradise for people, and the thick rotten leaves on the ground also prove this, I don't know how long there has been no human being in it.
In the primeval forest here, what threatens the survival of human beings is not how fierce the beasts are, but the natural traps created by nature everywhere, countless insects and ants, wild vines and thorns, labyrinth-like paths with thousands of twists and turns, and seemingly delicious but highly poisonous wild fruits and wild mushrooms, which are the reasons why human beings are extinct here.
But today, in this inaccessible primeval forest, there are traces of human beings. Behind the thorns, a figure crouched quietly, vigilantly staring at the situation outside. Not far from him, another companion was hiding in the branch of a large tree, both of them were secret sentinels, and at this time, within a radius of their body, there were no less than dozens of such secret sentinels.
This is a fleeing team, a team of sand ants led by Li Zhongfa and Wang Wei guarding Deng Shu, is fleeing in the direction of Qingzhou, whether it is a road or a trail, it is obviously impossible to cross the double pursuit of the Ming and Qin people, only by venturing through this primeval forest, it is possible to have a way out, even if it is dangerous, it is not as fierce as the enemy.
In this team of sand ants, there are not only soldier ants who are good at fighting, but also all kinds of worker ants who are good at hiding, assassinating, and deceiving.
The second day of entering the primeval forest, there was no sign that an enemy was chasing after him. But they didn't dare to take it lightly, because the Akito had a special force that was even more powerful than them, the Eagle Falcon.
After several days of fleeing, even the strongest soldiers were exhausted, and fatigue was not only physical, but also psychological. And Deng Shu, who doesn't know martial arts, is even more haggard to the extreme, if she is another person, I am afraid that she will collapse long ago, and only a woman with an extremely strong mentality like Deng Shu can still support herself.
But the psychological strength could not support her fragile body forever, and she fled for several days in a row, and finally reached the limit of her body and had to stop to rest.
It's so tiring. Staring at the middle of the night, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the heart that the sentry had been carrying finally slowly relaxed, this relaxation, fatigue immediately hit like a tide, sleepiness invaded him one after another, and his head involuntarily got up little by little.
He raised his head sharply, scanned the surroundings, but found nothing, but the sound of insects and ants in the grass became clearer, he shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, turned his head, and tried to look at the companion on the tree not far away, the two of them were in this position, just enough to observe each other.
The faint moonlight through the treetops shone on one side of his companion's face, and his head, little by little, obviously, couldn't stand it anymore. His companion's vision was wider than his own, and when he saw his companion's appearance, he was relieved.
As soon as his mind relaxed, he could no longer resist the tiredness that hit him like a tide, and he closed his eyes in a daze.
Not far from his side, a rotten leaf is like a spiritual snake, at this moment, twisting his body slowly crawled towards him, a black and heavy short blade, silently stretched out to his neck, gently pulled, a barely audible sound, the blood in the throat immediately sprayed out, the sentry suddenly broke open his eyes, wanted to struggle, but the large rotten leaf at this time buried him entirely, one hand tightly covered his mouth, and the body pressed him to the ground.
His body writhed a few times, and he fell to the ground weakly.
Another rotten leaf swam under the big tree, and a crossbow in his hand was aimed at the sentry on the tree, and with a bang, the crossbow arrow accurately penetrated the man's face door, and without saying a word, the man fell from the tree, stretched out a few hands from below, caught the fallen corpse, and lightly placed it on the ground, gestured to each other a few times, and slowly moved forward.
In this forest of Fang Xu Lixu, such killings are going on everywhere.
The falcon, which had been chasing for several days, entangled the fleeing group like maggots attached to their bones. It's not too difficult to track them down, it's even harder to make the enemy feel like they've gotten rid of you.
Only then can they let their guard down. Eagle Falcon is one of the most terrifying killers in the world, but they have always been the most fearful group of people, only into this industry, will you understand, what is outside the sky, what is outside the people. Their opponents are not a bunch of fish belly, but also a well-known peer on this continent.
But it is clear that defeat, flight, and fatigue have worn down the physical strength of these good opponents, which makes it much easier for the falcon to deal with them.
The sky finally brightened, Wang Wei's body trembled slightly, Huo Ran opened his eyes, after a night's rest, he finally regained his strength, took a deep breath, stood up, behind him, there was a small tent, which was the object he wanted to escort and protect this time. Speaking of which, for such a weak woman who is not proficient in martial arts, she can withstand the hardships of the past few days and escape, which really impresses him, and the people of the Deng family really can't be reasonable.
He walked over, stretched out his foot and kicked Li Zhongfa who was lying on the ground, Li Zhongfa bowed his body, bounced up suddenly, and when he got up, the knife in his hand had been pulled out of the sheath, until he saw Wang Wei in front of him, he was relieved.
"It's dawn, inform the big guys, get ready to go!" WANG Weidao.
"Would you like to let everyone eat something first?" Li Zhongfa stretched his body, and after a few days of fleeing, his whole body was still sore.
"Eat as you go." Wang Wei said: "The sooner we arrive in Qingzhou, the less danger we will have."
"It's not necessarily less dangerous, how Lu must deal with us, maybe it's still unclear!" Li Zhongfa said a little gloomily, the world is so big, it seems that there is no place that can accommodate them.
"Master Dai can't be wrong." WANG Weidao.
Li Zhongfa nodded, pursed his lips and let out a loud birdsong, early in the morning, it was the time for a hundred birds to sing, he pretended to be a bird and called for his companions to return, but it was not abrupt.
In the surrounding woods, people kept pouring out, walking to their side, the curtain of the small tent was lifted, and Deng Shu also walked out of it, and the night's rest made her refresh a lot.
No one in the forest came anymore, Li Zhongfa's face suddenly changed greatly, and Wang Wei also noticed something strange at the same time, their people were less than half.
Li Zhongfa pursed his lips again and made a sound, on this clearing, all the people, in fact, at this time, have already pulled out their weapons, even if they are stupid, they also know very well that something is wrong.
The sound of birds echoed through the trees, but there was no echo. No one came back from the woods again, and this time, even Deng Shu knew that something was wrong.
"They're catching up." Li Zhongfa's voice trembled a little.
As if to confirm his words, in the forest not far away, a Ming Di screamed and flew into the sky, and then, there were Ming Di rising into the air on all sides, and the sharp howling sound also represented that this small escape team had been surrounded at this time.
Everyone immediately surrounded Deng Shu in the middle.
"Protect the eldest lady and prepare to break through!" Wang Wei drew his saber.
A small sword swished out of the dense woods, hovered in the air, stood still for a moment, and then flew up and down, left and right, seemingly proudly.
"Yang Zhi!" Wang Wei gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice.
"Fortunately, I will be lucky, I escaped really fast!" A person with his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran walked out of the forest, with a black sword on his back, which was extremely visible.
There were two loud bangs, and in the woods on the left, a big man with two short-handled maces in his hand flew arrogantly from side to side, and when the two bowls were erected, they broke from them and fell left and right, and behind him, more than a dozen people with various weapons stood behind him in a row.
On the right, a man with a horse chopping knife on his shoulder was lazily leaning against a tree, and behind him, a group of people were also standing.
Behind him, a thin middle-aged man with empty hands and several skins hanging from his waist was stretching his fingers non-stop, and of course, behind him, there was also a group of people.
Yang Zhi and his death camp.
Sneaking up at night to kill people is certainly not something they can do, it is the work of the falcon, and they are just the last force to launch a general attack.
"Surrender? Or die?" Yang Zhi stretched out his hand, and the small sword hovering in the air flew back as if it had life, and landed in the palm of his hand.
Wang Wei slowly raised the knife and gave Yang Zhi an answer with action.
"Courage is commendable!" Yang Zhi snorted coldly. Then don't blame us for being polite, the opportunity is for you, you are looking for your own death, but you can't blame us."
The hand was spread out, and the small sword flew into the air with a whoosh, and at the same time, the soldiers of the death battalion, surrounded by the enemy on all sides, walked towards the middle in unison.
"Wait!" Deng Shu, who was surrounded in the middle, suddenly shouted. They surrendered."
Yang Zhi's footsteps stopped and tilted his head to look at Deng Shu, he knew that he heard correctly, Deng Shu said that they surrendered, not us.
"Miss!" Wang Wei shouted.
"It's useless to die!" Deng Shu shook his head slowly: "You are not his opponent, and all of us here will not be the opponent of them."
Of course, Wang Wei knew that he and Tang Qiang were intercepted by these people that night, an ordinary military man, by the way, the guy with a double mace, who could block Tang Qiang's attack.
"Miss Deng is really an understanding person." Yang Zhi said with a smile. It's a good thing for both of us."
"They can lay down their arms and surrender to you, but Young Master Yang, can you allow me to die with dignity?" Deng Shu said." I don't want to be your captive."
