Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Brotherhood

In order not to arouse suspicion, Lin Dong drove the carriage slowly at a normal speed according to Wu Jian's instructions, the scenery on the side of the road floated leisurely into people's sight, and the warm breeze blew on the cheeks, making people feel so comfortable, if it wasn't for the escort task, maybe the three teenagers in front of the car would have already fallen asleep in the warm light.

After driving for about dozens of miles, the warm breeze was warm and unimpeded all the way, and everyone soothed their nerves a little, but the sharp-eyed Yang Ming found that the road ahead was suddenly full of rocks and broken trees. From a distance, Yang Ming felt very abnormal.

Also seeing the rocks blocking the road, Lin Dong suddenly grabbed the reins of the carriage. Yang Ming took the lead in jumping out of the carriage and carefully looked ahead, and after a while, Yang Ming's expression slowly became solemn, and he vaguely felt a gloomy aura in the wind, brushing through people's skin, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"Why did you stop?" Sensing that the carriage had stopped, Wu Jian leaned out of the carriage and asked.

"The road ahead is blocked. Lin Dong immediately replied, "It looks like a landslide." ”

"Not true. Yang Ming immediately denied Lin Dong's opinion and said: "In the past few days, it has been a hot and hot day, and it has not rained more than half a drop of rain, how can it cause a landslide?"

"It's not an accident, it must be a human being. After hearing Yang Ming's analysis, Xin'er also reacted very quickly, and there was a faint hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her tone.

Wu Jian nodded slightly, and instructed Que Qing in the car: "Don't come out." ”

Immediately, Wu Jian jumped out of the carriage and ordered Yang Ming and the three of them in a calm tone: "The three of you are responsible for taking care of the carriage, I will go to the front to explore the way, remember, no matter what happens, don't leave the carriage for half a step." ”

After saying these words, Wu Jian didn't seem to be at ease, and said again: "Do you remember the tactics I taught you before?"

"Yes. The three of them nodded in unison. His eyes swept over the three slightly immature faces, but his eyes were unexpectedly firm, and Wu Jian was relieved to leave.

Soon, Wu Jian's figure disappeared behind the rocks and broken trees, Yang Ming and the others did not relax, and immediately put on a posture, a faint light gradually appeared outside the body, and three pairs of eyes were alert to the danger that might appear in the mountains and forests at any time.

Under the unknown environment, the three of them tried their best to open their sight and hearing, and within 100 meters, all the wind and grass were within their ears and eyes. This kind of caution allows them to gain insight into the enemy's situation and grasp the intelligence before they act, so as to avoid accidents and minimize the danger.

However, after Wu Jian left, this road, as well as the mountains and forests on both sides, fell into extreme silence, and even the birds, grasses and insects that inhabited the forest seemed to sense the ominous seepage from the surrounding forests, and trembled and shrunk their bodies into their nests, not daring to make the slightest sound.

"Boom!"

Just when it was extremely quiet, the three of them heard a roar in front of them, like an explosion, which made people a little creepy, because that was the direction in which Wu Jian was going.

"What happened just now?" Lin Dong couldn't help but ask, cold sweat was already on his forehead at this moment, and his tone was a little uneasy.

"Don't panic, no matter what happens, we just have to keep the carriage. Yang Ming said soothingly, his tone was as calm and orderly as possible, in fact, he was also restless in his heart, he didn't know what was going on in front of him, was it Wu Jian who fought with someone, or was there some accident? But Yang Ming knew very well that panic was chaotic, and this was a taboo in battle.

Tactics, one of which is quiet, the first thing is to keep a cool head in everything, don't let it move, and be as quiet as a mountain.

Suddenly, a violent mountain wind blew head-on towards the three of them. Yang Ming narrowed his dark eyes slightly, not daring to close his eyes, just as the wind touched his skin, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his head to face the direction where the wind was blowing, where two strange and gloomy auras struck.

Sure enough, after the wind stopped, two gloomy figures appeared in front of Yang Ming and the three of them.

These two people, one fat and one thin. The fat man has a fat head and big ears, and the flesh on his neck is covered with layers of flesh, like a stacked wave, and his belly is as round as a leather ball, while the thin man has almost no excess meat on his face, covered with a thin layer of blue and yellow skin, and his body is thin and straight, like a white bone spirit. These two people are simply fat and thin two poles, if it were usual, such two people standing together, it must be very funny, but at this moment, the two of them have scarlet eyes, revealing a gloomy coldness that is difficult to hide, sweeping towards the three people on the side of the carriage, people can't help but stand on end, as if they are being stared at by a fierce beast.

"We're just hawkers transporting spices to Wuxian City, I don't know what the two of you are doing?" Yang Ming reined in his momentum and said politely.

Although separated by a distance, from the gloomy aura exuded from the bodies of the two people opposite, Yang Ming could sense that these two people were by no means general, and their strength was probably at the level of Yueyao, and it was best not to act rashly before they understood the other party's intentions, and they did not know Wu Jian's situation.

At the same time, Yang Ming secretly glanced at Xin'er and Lin Dong, just in case, so that they could be ready for battle at any time.

"Hahaha, boy, it's not a small daring. If you were someone else, you would have been scared to see our 'demon eater' brothers. The thin man laughed, and the sound of such a rough laugh was so disturbing that it was like the cacophony of a blunt sawing through the hair of a wood.

However, after hearing the thin man's own name, Xin'er's face changed greatly, and she immediately repeated tremblingly: "Brother Demon Eater?"

"Do you know them?" Yang Ming turned his head to look at Xin'er beside him, but saw that her face was pale, and a few lines of cold sweat slid down her fair cheeks.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xin'er came back to her senses, and said in a somewhat unsteady tone: "Brother Demon Eater, is Jiang Guo's notorious killer brother, the thin nickname is the vampire leech, and the fat one is the human meat warehouse. They were originally national soldiers who served in the Red Horse Army, but they were driven out of the army because of their indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, and at the same time deprived them of their national soldier status, and later became killers. It is said that they suck blood and eat people, and anyone who is targeted by them will end up with no bones left, so they are called ogres. ”

"Killer?" Hearing Xin'er's words, a chill suddenly rose on Yang Ming's back, "Why did the killer look for us?"

Drug snatchers are generally thieves, their purpose is to get what they want, unless they have to, they will not kill people at will, so the danger is relatively small, but the killers are different, they are veritable butchers, as long as they have money, even if they are their relatives, they will not hesitate to kill. A killer is a person who has annihilated humanity and is as terrible as a beast.

smiled coldly, but it was extremely disgusting, the thinnest of the two, that is, the vampire leech, said faintly: "Someone paid three thousand taels of silver to buy us two human heads, one is the medicine wizard Que Qing hidden in the car, and the other is ......" The bloodsucking leech's skinny fingers pointed to the carriage, and then moved to Yang Ming, "You." ”

......

The sun gradually faded its heat, although it was just over July, but there was a cold that pierced into the bones, so that Yang Ming, who was standing in the middle of the road, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and all his attention was focused on the two in front of him, one fat and one thin. Between the eyes of each other, I couldn't help but sweat the size of a bean slid down.

"Kill me, who asked you to kill me?" I didn't expect their hard disguise all the way to be so easily recognized, the other party not only recognized their identity, but also named someone to kill, Que Qing and himself. What the hell is going on? Have you offended somewhere?

"Collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others. Keeping the buyer secret is our killer work ethic. "As a professional killer, you only need to know who to kill and the price, these two things are enough, and they never ask about the identity of the buyer. This is also the killer world, which has been believing in the iron-blooded rule for hundreds of years, as the so-called, there is a way to kill.

Such a killer actually targeted himself, which is what Yang Ming was worried about. With the three of them who had just come out of the Martial Arts Academy, it was impossible for them to fight the killer who licked the blood at the tip of the knife every day, and now Yang Ming's only sustenance was Wu Jian.

"Hehe," as if sensing what Yang Ming was thinking, the vampire leech licked his flesh tongue and said coldly, "The most powerful among you is that middle-aged man, but he has already fallen into the trap we set, don't think that someone will come to save you." Hahaha......"

"What, Wu Jian, he ......" Shocked in his heart, Yang Ming and they didn't have time to grieve, the corners of the leech's mouth suddenly tore, and he shouted: "Do it." ”

A cold whisper, like a yin wind blowing from the ground of death, carried a strong smell of blood. The other of the two, the human flesh warehouse took the lead and stepped on it violently, and the fat on his body was like an undulating sea, trembling layer after layer. With such an obese body, the speed is naturally extremely slow, and every step is extremely difficult.

Looking at such a slow snail-like speed, the corners of Lin Dong's mouth snorted lightly, and the original feelings of fear for them were suddenly left behind,

"Hmph, who can you hit at such a slow speed?" Ignoring Yang Ming's obstruction, Lin Dong suddenly shot at the slow-moving figure of the human flesh warehouse and began to punch violently.

"Punch of the air,"

The power converged on the right fist, a punch like iron, with a violent wind, and fell heavily on the chest of the human flesh warehouse, however, this punch did not achieve the effect that Lin Dong expected, the fist only felt a soft touch, without any sense of substance, like picking up a hammer and smashing a piece of fat without bones.

Just when Lin Dong was shocked in his heart, the fat on the chest of the human flesh warehouse suddenly squirmed, like the esophagus of a fierce beast, sticky, soft, and eating away at Lin Dong's fist little by little, until Lin Dong's entire right arm was trapped in it.

"Ahh

Seeing that Lin Dong's right arm was about to be swallowed by the flesh of the human flesh warehouse, Yang Ming secretly felt bad, and Wu Yao in his body suddenly rose, and in an instant, the broken sword was held in his right hand, Yang Ming left Xin'er to guard the carriage, and rushed out with his sword, ready to save Lin Dong.

The corners of the leech's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, and he sneered.

A gust of cold wind afterimage, in an instant, the vampire leech rushed in front of Yang Ming, his hair was blown up by the wind, Yang Ming couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and he faintly smelled a fishy smell of blood between his noses.

Ignoring anything else, Yang Ming faced the figure of the vampire leech, Wu Yao in his body was running rapidly, and a three-foot light blade was born outside the broken sword, which was sharp, and between the two figures, Yang Ming dodged the attack of the vampire leech with his agile speed, and immediately waved a sword to pierce the air.

"Reverse scales. ”

The light blade mercilessly stabbed the vampire leech's chest, hitting the vital point with one blow, so easy to succeed, but it shocked Yang Ming's heart, and he didn't stab the second or third attack. Reverse scale thorn, although fast and sharp, but the other party is a notorious killer, how can he not dodge?

In the dark, Yang Ming felt that it was not that the vampire leech failed to dodge his attack, but that he deliberately did not dodge.

Sure enough, the vampire leech slowly turned around, his face did not fluctuate at all, and he saw that the blood that was originally spilling out of his chest along the wound was about to flow out of the body, and it quickly coagulated and scarred, and in an instant, only a scar was left on the vampire's chest, which looked like a line of red spots.

The process of self-healing just now is a trivial thing that vampire leeches are accustomed to, but it is an incomprehensible mystery to Yang Ming.

"Isn't this guy afraid of getting hurt?"

Sensing the dangerous aura, Zu Ze, who was sleeping in Yang Ming's body, suddenly woke up, he just looked at the two demon eaters slightly, pondered slightly, and then said to Yang Ming: "Young master, be careful, this is probably their mental ability." ”

To fight with the countrymen, they must first find out the other party's mental image, which Wu Jian has told them many times.

Zu Ze's words were unhurried, as if the dangerous situation in front of him had nothing to do with him, Yang Ming couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Zu Ze, do you have any way? Don't sell it, say it quickly." ”

Zu Ze just pursed his lips and chuckled, "Young Master Wu Qian, as long as you show the level of your daily cultivation and go all out to face the battle, I will protect your life." ”

Although he had doubts in his heart, Yang Ming didn't ask too much. Because he knew that even if he asked more, Zu Ze would not say a word more. Zu Ze's words always give people a feeling of seeing flowers in a fog, vague and incomprehensible, but there is one thing that Yang Ming has to admit, that is, Zu Ze's words have never been missed, and every sentence will be verified by reality.

Yang Ming's eyes gradually lit up, Zu Ze's words made him feel a glimmer of hope, people have hope, they have the fighting spirit to fight. However, at this moment, the vampire leech on the opposite side also revealed Sen Ran's killing intent.

"Bloodclaw. A layer of intense light suddenly rose from his body, and several bright red blood vessels on the arms of the vampire leech suddenly expanded and writhed, looking like several crawling red earthworms. The veins crawled along his arm, and finally covered the entire palm, and between the flicks of his fingers, crimson nails continued to poke out of the fingers, and each nail was as red as blood, as sharp as a blade, and three inches long, flashing with a faint red light, like the claws of a wild beast.
