Chapter 410: Official Road
There were seven people in that team, and at a glance, four of them were aborigines, and three executioners, all of whom had a fierce aura, a veritable group of thugs.
A bald strong man on the side didn't react much when he heard this, but his finger crossed over to Qiu Xuan and tapped the bag she was carrying. "Either it stays, or you keep it yourself, pick one."
"What will you do when you take me all?" Qiu Xuan slid out the short knife out of the sheath in front of this group of people. Seeing her act like this, a few people looked disdainful and ridiculed, and some people watched in place with solemn expressions.
"Brother, everyone is from the same place, and I can probably see where your ability is. To tell you the truth, there is another person on my side, if I do it with you here, not to mention that there is a 100% chance of winning, but it is inevitable that the fish will die in the end. Now you have two options, grab two bottles of wine and a piece of cake and leave, or we'll have a fight. ”
Qiu Xuan said: "I was seriously injured in this kind of ghost place, and I have basically been declared half of it into the ground." I don't care, it's up to you to dare. ”
She confronted the person standing at the front, a executioner who seemed to be the leader of the group.
The leader was silent and did not speak, but the bald man who spoke first took the lead in shouting: "Boss, there are seven of us, are we still afraid of her?" Come on, it's no wonder that she doesn't know each other herself, and it's not like you don't know that this area hasn't been to anyone outside for a long time! ”
The boss at the head stared at the short knife held in the palm of the opposite hand unswervingly, and after a while, he finally raised his head and glanced at Qiu Xuan.
"Leave something and you're good to go."
"Boss?!"
Qiu Xuan also very simply opened his backpack in front of him, took out two bottles of wine and a mixed cake from it and handed them over. Then she paused, and then took another piece of compressed cake out of her bag.
"Answer my question, and I'll give you another piece of bread."
The boss's gaze lingered on her hand for a moment, "You say." ”
"What area of Auxer is this? If I'm going to the nearest beam, how far do I have to go? ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the unbridled and loud laughter of the crowd around me. Qiu Xuan raised her eyelids for some reason, and opposite her, the colleague with a cold expression also raised the corners of her mouth for the first time, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Since it's a peer, it doesn't hurt to be kind enough to tell you." He laughed enough, and looked at Qiu Xuan again. "This is the inner layer of Osser, and the closest thing to the edge of the continent. Anyone who knows a little about the geography of this dimensional world knows that the beam is at the center of the whole world, and how far is the edge from the center...... Should you have a number? ”
This foot really stinks enough.
Qiu Xuan also smirked at the other party, and scolded herself in her heart for stepping on the crack that connected to the edge of Oselle. The luck of taking two steps can step on the worst place, and in a sense, it is also the other extreme of "good luck".
She also counted her words and stuffed the extra piece of cake into the boss's hand, and without saying anything more, she put on her bag and prepared to find out if there was an "official road" in this area nearby.
Behind him, the executioner led by him weighed the mixed cake in his hand for a moment, his eyes were gloomy, and he raised his hand to summon the only two executioners left in the team.
"Follow her, and she is going in the direction of the woman's territory. When the time comes...... You should know how to do it. ”
The two executioners nodded, and in less than a breath, the figure that had remained in place disappeared from view. The three of them walked in one direction to the edge of Osser, as if none of them knew what would happen in the next moment.
……
Who knows.
Qiu Xuan's front feet walked along the edge of Oselle along the only path that still looked like a road, she didn't have any standards and tools to judge the direction at hand now, and Qin Jiuyuan hadn't come in yet, so she could only walk there by feeling.
Just after dodging the entanglement of several hungry people who were already skinny and skinny after dodging the squad that couldn't be compared to the previous robbery team in a row, Qiu Xuan quickly rushed forward against the ground, and then felt that the ground under his feet seemed to tremble slightly.
Because of this experience, she had some bad premonitions in her heart.
But then I comforted myself in my heart that it couldn't be so coincidental, it was only the first day of entering Osser, and it was impossible to meet all the "acquaintances" who had offended and not offended in the past in less than a few hours.
It turns out that one cannot say it in one's heart.
When he looked up and saw the figure standing behind the dirt slope in an instant, Qiu Xuan didn't even think about it, and directly turned his head and rushed towards the same way he came.
As a result, when he turned around, he happened to see two people who had already pulled out knives from their backs.
Everyone was stunned for a moment and fell silent, looking at each other and looking at each other, the two executioners who had just met ten minutes ago silently put the knife back and pretended that nothing had happened.
Qiu Xuan watched as the two of them took back the knife against him in embarrassment, crossed their hands and pretended to look around at the scenery and whistle. She took a deep breath.
"Let's run."
"Huh?"
As he spoke, he squeezed the two of them and was about to continue to rush forward, but after seeing the suddenly appearing figure, he stopped in the next second. After thinking about it, he pulled the two executioners who were still scratching their ears and cheeks next to him and blocked them in front of him.
"What are you doing...... Chains, chainsaws! ”
"What's all the fuss...... Grooved chainsaw!! ”
The two executioners used a short time to end a silent eye contact, and their attention was previously focused on Qiu Xuan, who was following, so neither of them could see what was going on in front of them. As a result, when I unintentionally looked up, even my heartbeat seemed to be empty for a few seconds.
"That, big brother...... No, brother, brother. A man on the left let out a loud swallowing sound, "We're just passing by, passing by, this is rolling, this is rolling......"
"Not really. Why is my brother called? "Qiu Xuan is really a little strange standing behind them, she doesn't want to see the Chainsaw Man because the previous series of fucking things definitely made this snake man already hate her in his heart, and now the old enemy has come to Osier, and she herself will not let go of that person. But why are these two?
Seeing that the abilities of these two executioners are not low, and they have even experienced a few more trials than Qiu Xuan, why are they so afraid of the appearance of the chainsaw man?
"You know!"
One of the executioners, who was forcibly pulled in front of him, turned his head and glared at her fiercely with a white face, if it wasn't for the fact that his lips were still trembling when he stared at her, it would probably be more convincing.
"Oh, what did you say to her, run away!" The man on the left jerked him, then raised his hand to release a wall of wind between them and Qiu Xuan, taking advantage of the emptiness of the latter's squinting eyes to break free of her grip and rush to the side as fast as he could.
With a bang, the steel chain several meters long smashed into the position where the man landed with the momentum of breaking the army, this time it did not hit completely, but it almost took off half of the shoulder at the moment when it brushed the left shoulder.
The man screamed, but gritted his teeth and fled again in a gesture of aggravating the injury.
The remaining executioner reacted from his stunned state, and was about to turn and run in the other direction, when he saw a rabbit-like figure on the dirt road he had fancied disappear from his eyes.
Executioner: "......"
He also hurried to the dirt road, thinking that the terrible chainsaw was chasing his companion so that he could buy a lot of time, but what he didn't expect was that just a second after he stepped on the opposite path, the steel chain wrapped in the power of ten thousand jun fell to his feet in an instant.
I'm sick!
The executioner was furious, but he had to keep sprinting on his feet, and the chainsaw man didn't know what he was thinking, and he put down his companion and made a detour to himself. Seeing that the "earthquake" behind him was close at hand, the man gritted his teeth and took out something that looked like a small smoke humidifier from the accompanying space.
Everything is expendable in this hellish place, and there are only a few props left in his space because of the stumbling of Osel day after day. But although he was distressed at the moment, he was not reluctant at all, because he knew in his heart that once he was caught up by the monster behind him, he would only have one end.
He aimed the small prop at himself, and the moment he turned it on, there was smoke around him. And the strange thing is that at the moment when the smoke shrouded his body, the executioner's whole person seemed to be soaring through the clouds and fog like a divine help, and the steps under his feet were more than twice as light, and he suddenly rushed out like an arrow from the string.
Qiu Xuan was running well on the road, but when she was about to get rid of the snake man behind her, she felt a sudden chill on her side, and then something swished and passed directly.
She was a little dazed, squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, and found that the flashing back was a little familiar. Before she could figure out anything, she heard the sound of the earth shaking after her, which seemed to be close at hand.
Qiu Xuan looked back in surprise and saw that the huge figure of the chainsaw seemed to suddenly speed up. He chased in a white smoke, and the smoke left on the road did not completely dissipate at once, the mist attached to the human body, and the speed of the whole person was instantly pulled up.
She instantly reacted that it was the ability left over by the executioner who suddenly passed by before, because that person ran in front of the two of them, so Qiu Xuan could also take advantage of the convenience of the other party to stay and run as fast as possible. The problem is that the person now doesn't know where he stepped on the hole, and the whole person disappears and doesn't know where he was teleported.
The smoke that was still in the air was cut off in an instant, because the coverage area was quite considerable, and Qiu Xuan didn't know where there were spatial cracks in this muddy field. There was no time left for her to look for it now, and she could already see the end of the steel chain waving in the snake man's hand.
Qiu Xuan: Cub who plays with humidifiers, it's best not to let me see you again.
Because he was not familiar with Osser's map at all, and now in a muddy field where he couldn't see his direction, Qiu Xuan could only run at full speed in one direction by feeling.
All her attention was now on the steel chains behind her that seemed to have eyes, the Chainsaw Man himself wasn't as fast as hers, but he couldn't hold the opponent's weapons long enough. This steel chain, which was as annoying as its owner, posed a great threat to her, and if one of them was entangled carelessly, it would be completely finished.
Qiu Xuan really noticed the direction she had always thought she was running by feeling, but it was actually when the chainsaw man behind her was deliberately guiding, when she realized that this land was different from the ones she had stepped on on Osel before.
She saw a road paved entirely of stone. It's not very neat, but it's still much better than other lands that are potholed and not even a "road".
Official Road.
This is one of Osser's "official roads". At the same time, seeing the official road means seeing the eyes of countless dark places hidden under the surface.
Everyone knows that there are no red-eyed demons in the vicinity of every official road. It's not that they don't exist anymore, on the contrary, there are several times more hungry people in the vicinity of every official road than in ordinary places.
When the stone-paved official road came into view, Qiu Xuan's first thought was that he could use the countless hungry people hiding in the shadows to say goodbye to the chainsaw man completely. Even, if you are lucky, you can take advantage of the situation to deal with this hidden danger.
The thought was even closer, and she could see a bright red ribbon cloth wrapped around the stone mill behind the official road.
This official road has already been occupied.
The most conspicuous position behind each occupied official road will hang such a cloth, symbolizing that everyone who comes to the vicinity of the official road or wants to take the official road must pay a certain share of the "toll". If the quantity is not enough or cannot be handed over, it will be arbitrarily disposed of by the forces occupying it behind, of course, this "quantity regulation" is not set by the people behind it.
Trouble.
Qiu Xuan stopped a few meters away from the stone path, and she was silent for a moment and looked back to see the tall monster standing a few steps away. He was wrapped in a wrist-thick steel chain, but this time he didn't mean to make another move, but silently blocked all the ways that could be left.
From the very beginning, the Chainsaw Man wanted to lure her down the road.
But why?
If he wanted to take the opportunity to kill Oser because he hated Qiu Xuan for driving him to Oser before, it would be reasonable. But what is he bothering to do now?
