Chapter 23 The Sudden Appearance of the Enemy
After a short episode, the hearts of the three people completely hugged each other.
There was no longer any hesitation, even the weapon in his hand was held tightly, the tiredness just now was swept away, and under the leadership of Nie Haiyuan, he turned around and walked towards the barren mountain with no road on the opposite side.
It was late at night, and the fierce beasts between the mountains and forests also roosted one after another, walking in the thorny jungle, and it seemed that there was little to see except for the voles that passed by from time to time.
Fortunately, at this time, Jing Chong was holding a steel knife in his hand, pacing in such a rugged and chaotic mountain forest, but he unknowingly became a barren mountain pioneer.
Whenever he encountered thorns, he could always open up an open passage for everyone after a chop, but such a constant climb was quite physically demanding, so they had no strength when they were halfway up the mountain.
Squatting on the boulder in the mountains and forests, the three of them were already panting and panting, but fortunately, they were still very young, and they were so tired that they only took a break from the incense before they regained their vitality again.
The difficult climbing work started again, which undoubtedly made Jing Chong crazy, and as time went on, his complaint became stronger, but he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he couldn't hold back Zou Cang's chatter and abuse behind him, "What is this for! In the middle of the night, there is not even a personal scumbag, where can we find a fat sheep to slaughter!"
Zou Cang's voice of complaint reached Nie Haiyuan's ears, and it immediately made him lose confidence quickly like a deflated ball, the mountain in front of him is really too big, like them are so difficult to advance, I'm afraid that when it comes to dawn, don't think about going out.
Besides, if you really go to Tianming, it will be really late, and when you return to the Blood Knife Village from here, I am afraid that the people above will find out that you have left your post without permission, and when the village rules are disposed of, it will really outweigh the losses.
"I said fatty, are you sure that this road can go around the Wolf Tooth Mountain and get out of the Blood Knife Village?" Finally, even Jing Chong couldn't bear it anymore, and looked up and down Nie Haiyuan's body for a moment before questioning with a skeptical attitude.
Faced with the inquiry, but seeing Nie Haiyuan scratching his head, a trace of heart that could not be concealed quickly appeared, "Well, of course, you can get out, but it's just that it may be a little far!"
Before the words fell, the wide face was covered with a broken shoe, and then Zou Cang's angry scolding voice came from the air, "Your uncle, didn't you say that you should step on it better? This and that are not all about teasing your Uncle Zou's positive heart!"
After saying that, Zou Cang rolled a pair of slippery eyes and looked at it with disdain for a moment, and then he once again picked up the spear and retreated in the direction of the Blood Knife Village.
"His uncle, the old problem has been made again!"
Nie Haiyuan took down the broken shoes on his face very calmly, looked at Zou Cang's departing back with helplessness, shook his head and scolded quietly, but there was no way, this time it was all caused by his unfamiliarity with the road, but he couldn't complain about others, while thinking, he also raised his steps and retreated towards the bottom of the mountain boredly.
But just after Nie Haiyuan had just walked a few steps forward, Jing Chong's deliberately suppressed voice came from behind him, "Don't move, someone is moving!"
In a word, a lightning bolt in the clear sky touched the actions of Nie Haiyuan and Zou Cang in front of them in an instant, perhaps they were rehearsed in advance, and the two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, looking up and down for a moment with the eyes of thieves, and the two bodies that were trembling slowly could not be concealed.
"What are you doing there? Figures are coming from the other side!"
Seeing the tacit action of the two people, Jing Chong almost spurted blood, and when he spoke, one was more able to flicker than the other, but once he encountered something, he was more than the other, and this was just a small discovery, which scared them like this, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like to really encounter something.
Unconsciously, Jing Chong inexplicably felt like he was on the wrong boat.
However, just now, when the two behind him launched a "civil strife" and each chose to retreat, Jing Chong really saw a staggering figure from between the trees on the opposite side of dozens of feet and fell down a few times.
Although I don't know why there are really pedestrians in the middle of the night, Jing Chong, who has a clear goal from beginning to end, still has a hint of joy in an instant.
It doesn't matter who the other party is, but sneaking into the mountains and forests in the middle of the night, he is definitely not a good person, so since this is the case, don't blame yourself for being ruthless, after all, this human head is still quite important to the three of them today.
It seems that God is still a little humane to himself, and when he was in the most difficult time, he sent a deal to his hands for no reason, whether it was a blessing or a curse, but in the end his blood was not in vain.
At this point, he didn't hesitate anymore, the steel knife in his hand was clenched very tightly, he could feel that his palms were a little cold due to the excessive force, to be honest, Jing Chong's heart at this time was also unusually worried, after all, when he really had to encounter a life-and-death struggle, he was also a little bottomless.
No one could say if the one who had just fallen to the ground had found the three of them, and he was not sure that he would be able to successfully capture or kill that person with the help of two rice buckets.
However, the only thing he could recognize was that they must seize this opportunity, after all, it was very important for him to be able to become a real person of the Blood Knife Village one day earlier.
The more he thought about Jing Chong's heart, the more stoic he became, so that under the drive of this emotion, his footsteps moved very quickly, and he didn't look back at the two people behind him, but from the trembling footsteps, it was certain that the two people were following.
Regardless of whether the two of them have food or not, with their support behind him, Jing Chong has indescribable courage.
The distance of dozens of zhang is not too far, and it only took half an hour for the three of them to surround the front and back.
Glancing at the surrounding environment with the rest of his eyes, Jing Chong quickly formulated an effective plan of action, originally this place was in a dense mountain forest, surrounded by tall trees, and the strange rocks under his feet were full of potholes, and the direction in which the mysterious person planted it before was next to a big tree, where there was a huge stone.
Due to the obscuration of the trees and stones, they could not see the man's body until now, but the only thing that was certain was that the opponent had never left.
Seeing this, Jing Chong, who has always been careful, still chose to be cautious, after all, in the case that they don't know each other very well, it is very dangerous for several people to advance at the same time, if the other party suddenly attacks at this time, they will be wiped out immediately.
Therefore, in the shortest possible time, Jing Chong chose the strategy of outflanking and gathering, and annihilating them in groups.
In fact, it is not surprising that there can be such a sophisticated arrangement, when Jing Chong was young, he followed his father to hunt in the mountains, and he often used this strategy, in his father's words, if the target is small, it can attract the enemy more, although the risk of a single person is a little greater, but as long as the companion saves in time, he can still get unexpected gains.
After a short period of bargaining, it was finally decided that Jing Chong would choose to act head-on, and the two of them were taken by surprise from the left and right wings.
As he spoke, the three of them had quietly dispersed, and the other two were all holding spears, so they seemed a little prepared, but Jing Chong was alone holding a steel knife and slowly spared the boulder and attacked from the front.
Just after bypassing the boulder, Jing Chong really noticed that there was a person crawling under the big tree, it was pitch black, but it was not difficult to see from the size of his body that this person was a middle-aged man.
But because the other party is always crawling on the ground, he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
"Could it be that he is already dead?" did not act rashly, this was Jing Chong's first thought.
"If that's the case, it's very likely that the other party is also being chased and killed like himself!" Another thought emerged, but Jing Chong was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sympathy in his heart, after all, it was in this situation that he fell between the mountains and forests yesterday, but fortunately, he was discovered by Nie Haiyuan in time and picked up a small life.
With such two thoughts, Jing Chong had to reconsider his actions, if the other party was a good person, he would kill the other party indiscriminately, what was the difference between him and those beasts?
In the end, he couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience, and Jing Chong was moved by compassion. But the matter has come to this, no matter whether the other party is alive or dead, good or bad, you have to go up and take a look.
Thinking of this, he strengthened his mind again and slowly took two steps forward.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
At the moment when Jing Chong slowly and cautiously raised his steps and took the third step, the motionless black figure crawling in the grass on the opposite side suddenly skewed up, a pair of big hands tightly hugged a huge stone, he ran towards Jing Chong frantically, and at the same time, he kept muttering to himself, "You brute, I let you follow me, see if Lao Tzu can't kill you!"
The sudden change caught people off guard, but thanks to Jing Chong, who grew up in a mountain village since he was a child, he has developed an excellent reaction ability by dealing with wild beasts all over the mountain since he was a child.
Looking at the other party again, due to the excessive force, he fell to the ground again, and the clothes on his body were also cut by the surrounding thorns when his body hit the ground.
Flicking his gaze and staring at it again, Jing Chong's face at this time had already turned pale, and the steel knife in his hand was raised flat, and even his breathing became short.
Subconsciously watched left and right, and what made Jing Chong even more resentful was that Nie Haiyuan and Zou Cang, who had originally agreed to attack together, disappeared at some point, and this time, Jing Chong scolded even more angrily, "Damn, it's really unjust!"
There was a secret curse in his heart, and he had to have a thought of retreating, with his size, he was a head lower than the one in front of him, if the other party stood up and confronted him again, I am afraid that he would immediately become a prisoner.
The more Jing Chong thought about it, the more scared he became, and the next moment he wanted to run away, but inadvertently glanced at the middle-aged man who had just struggled again, but this time, he felt an inexplicable familiarity from the other party's body.
