295 Left behind

The fish seller caught me four transparent fish, put them on thin rattan sticks, and gave them to me to carry in my hand. Only then was I able to take a closer look, and it turned out that the transparent fish was really transparent!

The scales and flesh of transparent fish are pale white, as if they were frozen, and the texture of their bodies can only be seen close to the light source. The eyes of the fish are black, the internal organs of the fish are also black, and only the heart that is still beating is red.

"This fish can't be fried or fried, it can only be boiled in soup." The elder brother pointed out, "The fish is very tender, and it may even melt after being cooked for a long time." So you go back and find a cook to help you deal with it, and the fish will stink after an hour! ”

"Okay!" I am very happy. I just went out for a while, and by the way, I completed the two small plans last night, which is really efficient!

I swayed all the way back to the inn on the eighteenth floor of the left building. But just as I was carrying four transparent fish and wanted to show off my achievements to my boss, he was taken aback and said to me, "Why are you still here?" Everyone else has already checked out and gone! ”

He was surprised, and I guess he was even more frightened to the point that his face turned pale!

"How long have they been gone?" I asked urgently.

"It's been about an hour!"

An hour? In other words, I should still be fighting with the profiteer pharmacy owner at that time! That unlucky guy, if he hadn't been fooling me, I wouldn't have heard Birdmeat calling me outside!

I was just about to put down the fish in my hand and go to the room to get my luggage, but the innkeeper said, "Your luggage has already been taken down for you, so you should hurry downstairs and chase them!" ”

I had no choice but to continue carrying the four transparent fish and swaying downstairs. When I first arrived, I thought the animal elevator was very novel and labor-saving, but now I think it's too slow, and I wish I could climb a rattan and slide down.

Finally down to the ground, I hurried to the firm where I had been yesterday. There is also no trace of the caravan here, it should have been pulled away!

The boss of the trading house pointed to the exit and said to me: "Half an hour ago, Bu Ye and the others finished loading their goods and went out of the city!" ”

Half an hour? Aren't they all about to get to the mouth of the underground river?

I hurriedly took out the gossip plate on my body and lit another flying talisman. That's the only way I can get in touch with the caravan at the moment.

But there was no red dot on the gossip board to respond to me. It is estimated that Bu Ye is angry at this time, and no one dares to reply to me.

The boss of the trading house saw that I was in a hurry, so he gave me a suggestion: "Buye, they have a lot of goods, and they have to pass the checkpoint and plate tax, so they shouldn't have gone too far." You can take a boat and chase it, so that you can be faster! ”

Right! Boat!

I thanked the boss and beckoned to stop a runabout by the river. The boatman held out five fingers at me, indicating that he wanted to collect five yin yuan. it! It's really good to rip off customers! No wonder Bu Ye doesn't want to ignore them!

But now I also had to bow my head and get on the speedboat to tell the boatman to hurry up. However, when passing through the checkpoint, the speedboat still had to stop and let the officials come on board to inspect it. But I don't have any cargo with me now, except for a few transparent fish.

I said, "I don't want the fish, otherwise I'll give it to you as a tax deduction!" ”

The tax collector picked up the fish and sniffed it suspiciously, and frowned, "Your fish is not fresh anymore, and I can't eat it when I take it back." ”

In the end, he still symbolically collected a yin yuan tax from me. I was anxious and helpless, so I had to give it to him.

After passing the checkpoint, the speedboat continued to fly forward. Finally, I saw from a distance that Buye's caravan was walking towards the steps at the end of the underground river. I urged the boatman to hurry up again, but he said that he couldn't go any faster, otherwise the speedboat would fly straight out of the waterfall when it reached the entrance of the cave, so it would have to start slowing down.

I had no choice but to wait patiently for the boatman to come ashore, throw him five Yin Yuan, and then hurriedly ran down the steps.

By the time they ran down the steps, the entire caravan had already reached the drawbridge. Fortunately, those big snails are walking slowly, and I can still catch up from behind, but I will definitely be scolded and maybe beaten later!

I went up to the drawbridge and followed the caravan from a distance, about a hundred meters away. At this point, I have summed up some experience, and when walking on this soft rattan bridge, I have to take a bigger step and try to step on the edge of the stronger place to walk faster. But even then, it took me about fifteen minutes to catch up with the caravan's tail.

But just when I was less than twenty meters away from Kong Jian after the break, I suddenly saw several black shadows suddenly appear under the vine bridge. The shadows scurried through the forest quickly, and each shadow had long hands, similar to the hook used by the herb picker he had seen last time he had passed by.

However, Kong Jian, who was in charge of the post-break observation, seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he kept following the team with his head down. Maybe it was because he left Hanglou Town too quickly and returned to Zuoqiu City that still made him feel dissatisfied, and his work enthusiasm was a little low.

However, these shadows seem to be spying on the entire caravan, and the target is the weakest point in the tail. Is it a ghost bandit pretending to be a medicine picker?

Wrong! When the shadows got closer, I could see clearly, they all had four hands, two long and two short!

"Be careful, everyone! There are four hand rays under the bridge! I shouted.

My shouting immediately aroused the vigilance of the whole team, and Bu Ye was also yelling in front of him, asking everyone to take out their weapons and cling to the big snail to protect the safety of the goods.

But the four-handed rays are obviously thieves too, and they sneak up from below just to catch us off guard.

"Whoa! Whoa! ”

The four-handed rays collectively let out an ugly strange scream, grabbed both sides of the rattan bridge and pulled hard, desperately shaking the entire bridge deck, so that the people above were unstable and crumbling!

"Ouch! Ouch! I'm going to fall! It's going to fall! ”

"Hold on to the guardrails! Be careful not to fall off the bridge! ”

"Get down! Get down on your stomach! ”

After a period of panic, although there were still many people who lost their center of gravity and fell, there were no accidents. Most of the people were lying on the bridge deck, clinging to a few rattans that served as guardrails. The ghost servants were better, they could float, and the reins in their hands had not been thrown away, and they were trying to calm the emotions of the big snail who was also frightened.

Perhaps because the weight of the fifteen large snails was too large, the group of four-handed rays shook for a while, and Fujihashi really couldn't shake it. They immediately gave up this strategy, and jumped directly on the back of the big snail to turn over the goods, and they were about to change their way to rob it!

"Get up! They can't be allowed to snatch the goods! Bu Ye yelled.

As soon as he turned over, he took out the big slingshot and fired three bullets in a row to repel three four-hand rays. The others also hurriedly got up from the bridge deck to deal with the group of four-handed rays.

However, the number of four-handed rays is so great that there must be at least twenty or thirty by sight. The dart masters stood on the shaking bridge deck with an unstable center of gravity, unable to display their martial arts, so they could only use the weapons in their hands to drive away as much as possible.

I hurriedly ran forward from behind to join the fight, but I didn't have any weapons with me, so I picked up a few transparent fish in my hand to drive away the four-handed rays. But after only two strokes, the thin rattan broke, and the four transparent fish rolled down to the bridge deck.

Luckily, everyone's luggage was on the back of the last snail, and mine was no exception. I quickly found my backpack, but the armor and the short knife were tied together, and I couldn't untie it in a hurry, so I reached out and took out a ruyi chopstick from the bag, which turned into a spear in the wind.

"Whoa! Whoa! ”

Two four-handed rays stood on top of my head, and eight hands were frantically pulling a ** bag at the same time. It was filled with blue beans, and they must have smelled the food, so they grabbed it and tried desperately to take it away. Blue beans are our important grain and grass, how can we let them snatch them?

"Kill!"

"Whoa...... Yikes! ”

I poked hard and hit one of them in the back, killing it instantly, and falling limply off the snail's back. The other four-handed wreak was also taken aback, let go of the sack, and bared its teeth and claws at me. But my wishful "spear" was growing a lot, and after a few fights, it was also stabbed in the shoulder by me, and it screamed and ran back into the woods.

The other dart masters slowly took control of the situation, killing and wounding a few four-handed rays, and the rest began to flee. Only Kong Jian's position was the most passive, with five four-handed rays snatching the goods on the back of the penultimate snail at the same time, and he used a short weapon like a sword, which could catch up with this one, but could not catch up with the other four.

In the end, those four-handed rays were provoked by Kong Jian. Two of them jumped off the snail's back and quietly attacked him from behind. Four long hands grabbed his left and right shoulders and two feet respectively, lifted him up, and then threw him out of the vine bridge with all his might!

"Ahh Help me! ”

Kong Jian screamed in midair, the sword in his hand also lost, desperately trying to hold on to a branch or rattan to slow his fall.

I was closest to him at the time, and I reacted quickly enough, so I threw myself on the bridge deck, stretched out my hand through the gap under the guardrail, changed the length of the Ruyi chopsticks to the extreme, and shouted: "Grab it with yin power!" ”

Fortunately, Kong Jian's skills and reaction were not slow, and he pedaled on an upside-down tree trunk, jumped in my direction and grabbed the tail end of the Ruyi chopsticks in time. The virtual body extended by the ruyi chopsticks is the same as a ghost, and the yin cultivator must also use the yin power to touch it, Kong Jian is quite alert, and he understands my shouting, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Whoa! Whoa! ”

However, the crisis was not completely resolved, and the two four-handed rays that attacked Kong Jian saw that I was lying on the bridge and couldn't move, so they rushed over and planned to kill both of us. Seeing that their long hands were about to catch my face, I still couldn't bear to let Kong Jian fall into the abyss of the canyon and die, so I had to close my eyes and die.
