Chapter 177: One Step Late

Bai Luochen's departure turned out to be so sudden, when Lin Qingwan rode his horse to Mohai, it was already late at night, and it was dark all around.

"Luo Chen! Luo Chen, where are you? She dismounted, rushed to the dock and shouted loudly.

The waves of the desert sea were turbulent, the wind was howling on the sea, and in the dark and heavy seawater, she vaguely saw a boat at the junction of water and sky, and she couldn't catch up if she wanted to.

Vaguely, I don't know if she was hallucinating, but she seemed to see the departed man smiling back at the bow of the boat, his eyes as bright as a sword, just as she had seen him two years ago.

Yes, it's still too late after all! She couldn't catch up with him, and all of this had already been out of her original expectations and arrangements.

She looked at the sea water in front of her, roared angrily, a red light appeared on the palm of her hand, and she slapped the sea with a heavy palm, and a huge column of water exploded on the sea surface, and countless fish and shrimp flew down from the sky, like snowflakes.

The fish and shrimp that were blown up to the beach were slapping their tails on the beach indiscriminately.

Lin Qingwan sighed and put the fish and shrimp back into the sea.

She quickly summoned the Sky Slayer Beast and rode it in the direction Bai Luochen had left.

Flying above the sky, she looked down at the towering mountains on both sides of the deep valley, and listened to the ape cry in her ears, Lin Qingwan was even more flustered.

Along the way, the customs and customs of the northern Central Plains gradually faded, and what I saw and heard was unprecedented, which was refreshing.

Although she was in a hurry, her tense heartstrings loosened unconsciously.

Unconsciously, she has left Fengcheng for more than 4,000 miles, and this is already Qingyuan City, that is, the place where she left the east, right?

Bai Luochen once told himself that fifty years ago, there was a thrilling battle between the Dongli Kingdom and the Shuoyue Kingdom-the strange and unpredictable Dongli people are good at witchcraft, and they have spells that can scatter beans into soldiers and call for wind and rain.

There is also the supreme high priest of the Dongli Kingdom, who is even more boundless in magic, and exists like a god in the Dongli Kingdom.

When he told her at the beginning, she had always been fascinated to witness all this, and at that time, Bai Luochen also said that he would take her there after a while of being busy with the ice dragon.

I don't want to come to Dongli alone.

Even if you die here, you probably have no regrets, right?

Lin Qingwan flew for a long time, her stomach gurgling, so she came to a restaurant to eat something, and as soon as she walked to the door, a short shopkeeper greeted her warmly.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Just grab something to eat, but hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

Lin Qingwan said in a flat voice.

"Okay, right away."

The shopkeeper said and trotted back, and after a while, he brought a few dishes up.

"Girl, you have all the dishes, if you need anything, you can say hello, and take the liberty of asking, don't look like the girl is a local, I don't know where the girl plans to go?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Qingwan and asked.

Lin Qingwan took a bite of food and said, "I'm going to Liuzhou City." ”

"Liuzhou City? Girl, are you going to Liuzhou City alone? ”

The shopkeeper asked with a surprised face.

Lin Qingwan took a sip of tea and looked up at him puzzled, "Yes, looking at your expression, could it be that something happened in Liuzhou City?" ”

"It's too dangerous for the girl to go to Liuzhou City alone, if you go to Liuzhou City, you have to go through the misty forest, the misty forest is very evil, it is said that there is no one alive, the little one advises the girl, you, it's better to go back as soon as possible."

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Qingwan and persuaded with a serious face.

Lin Qingwan had been listening to him casually.

"Don't be afraid, girl, the old man can be your guide and lead the girl to the misty forest."

An old man with a cigarette pouch suddenly walked over, looked at Lin Qingwan and said.

"Oh? Listen to you, old man, as if you have been to the Misty Forest? ”

Lin Qingwan looked up and saw an old man with white hair and fairy bones.

"Girl, this is a well-known local guide on our side, there should be no problem for the girl to have his old man take you through the Misty Forest, he is the guide who specializes in taking people through the Misty Forest."

Lin Qingwan finally negotiated the price of one hundred taels of silver with this guide in the tavern, and the old guide took her through this misty forest alone.

She was distracted all the way, and the endless beautiful scenery in front of her came into view, and she heard the noisy voices of people in the streets, and the sound of hawkers, but she seemed to be unable to hear them.

More than a dozen soldiers defending the city in Liuzhou City, the border of Shuoyue Country, were guarding the city tower, when suddenly there was a flicker in front of them, and more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in front of them silently.

They had just opened their mouths to exclaim, but the sound stopped as soon as it reached their throats—sharp blades swept silently, slitting their throats with ease, and blood spurted out like arrows.

However, almost at the same time, a white light flashed on the fingers of a man in black with a white bottle in his hand, and all the blood was collected into the bottle, and not even a drop was spilled.

Those men in black had killed a dozen or so soldiers defending the city almost instantly, and at a glance they knew that they were well-trained assassins.

They respectfully knelt down on one knee and stood in front of the man in black holding the white bottle: "Master, it has been cleared." ”

"Very good, have Bai Luochen's men and horses already set off?"

"Yes, everything is going smoothly according to the plan made by the master."

"Great, then the rest of the matter will be handed over to the people over there in Dongli...... We have to finish the current work before sunrise, and we must definitely clean it up, and no traces will be left, Bai Luochen's people will be here soon. ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey! One of the men in black took a box from his bosom, carefully took out a white ointment from the box, and smeared it on the face of the dead soldier.

The other men in black did the same by applying the white ointment to the soldiers' faces, and after a few moments, they removed the thin human skin masks from the faces of the dead soldiers.

They put those molded masks on their faces, and they had the exact same appearance as the dead.

"Alright, let's dispose of the corpse!"

"Yes!"

The men in black moved all the corpses of the soldiers defending the city together, then took out a white bottle from their bosoms and poured the black powder inside on top of the corpse.

The corpses quickly shrank, dissolved, and finally disappeared entirely.

"The show is about to begin, so let's be patient."

After speaking, he sneered and glanced at the dark sky.
