Chapter 998: A dilemma
The gourd canyon has maintained its original abundance for countless years, although there are occasional demonic beasts around this place, but because of this, it is relatively quiet here. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
Humans have not set foot in this place for many years, and this place has not changed for countless years. But not long after the left wind ignited the rope, the place was turned upside down.
Like a poor man who has been ravaged, he can no longer see the original appearance, the peeling rocks are clearly marked, and the valley mouth is completely blocked by stones of different sizes.
For warriors, stacking stones of different sizes on top of each other is just difficult to walk, but not insurmountable.
The left wind is constantly looking for a stable stone to settle down on in front of him, and at the same time planning the route ahead. The smell of burning gunpowder and the thick smell of smoke and dust can be clearly smelled in the surrounding area, and it is conceivable that this place must have been dusty and invisible.
There was also a strange smell of blood, bones and internal organs.
The two of them were silent, although they didn't mention it, but they knew that the strange smell came from the corpses at the bottom, those Thousand Illusion Sect martial artists who didn't know the specific number.
Looking at the young man in front of her, Yao Qiu'er was troubled in her heart, and in the past few days, she had experienced the biggest change in her life. The martial artists around him and the old Ni Lao who grew up with him died, and the Thousand Illusion Sect, which had disappeared for a long time, had begun to act, and the Yao family was obviously within the scope of its targeting.
In addition, the mysterious young man in front of her made her feel very unfamiliar. He knew that this young man should not have intersected with him before, but he met by chance outside Jiabao City, and the old man surnamed Ni decided to leave this young man together, and she was full of doubts and puzzles.
But as I got along with the young man more, I found that the old man surnamed Ni did see far enough, or the bet on this young man was very worthwhile.
But what she didn't expect the most was that this young man would come back to save herself, even if it was really a person who believed in his word, and there were a few people who could risk their lives to save a person who had only known him for a few days.
Unconsciously, Yao Qiu'er has developed a dependence on Zuo Feng, and this dependence is not limited to being in danger, but in Yao Qiu'er's heart, this young man has gradually occupied an extremely secret part of her heart.
It was in this tense escape process that she always unconsciously remembered the scenes when she fought side by side with the youth. Thinking of the two of them besieging the enemy with their backs against their backs, and thinking of the other party holding their slender waists, they couldn't help blushing and heartbeating.
While she was thinking wildly in her heart, she found that Zuo Feng suddenly stopped, and then realized that the two of them had come to the top of the rubble.
After the explosion, the boulders fell and piled up, and most of them were concentrated at the mouth of the valley, so this is also the highest point. The two of them came here cautiously all the way, and the next thing was to walk downward, which was relatively easier than climbing up.
Seeing that Zuo Feng stopped and had no intention of going down, she couldn't help but say, "Aren't we going to leave here as soon as possible, why do we want to stay here again?"
Subconsciously glanced back at Yao Qiu'er, Zuo Feng said with some surprise: "Are you unwell, why are you breathing disorderly, and your face is so red, is it because you have been poisoned." β
When Zuo Feng asked about Yao Qiu'er's situation before, he paid attention to it. There were no scars on Yao Qiu'er's body, and even her storage crystal bracelet was intact on her fingers.
He knew that this Yao Qiu'er herself knew a lot about medicines, plus her things were all on her body, including the antidote pill she gave him, so he didn't worry too much.
Being asked directly by Zuo Feng like this, Yao Qiu'er also embarrassed and "coughed", she couldn't tell the other party what she thought about before, she hesitated for a moment and had to change the topic and continue with her previous words.
"Let's get out of here as soon as possible, Hu San and those people don't know where they are now, if they find out about the changes here and rush over, the two of us will be in big trouble. β
Hearing her say this, Zuo Feng's face was also serious, and he looked out of the valley again, but his eyes were swimming back and forth in the vast dark forest.
"Hu San and those people already know about the changes here, and they will definitely come here. β
After saying this, Yao Qiu'er also immediately recovered from the embarrassment, she didn't know that the situation was so serious, but now after listening to Zuo Feng's words, she suddenly became nervous.
"Then we are still here to delay time, hurry up and get out of this valley, as long as we can get out of here, we can at least be safe for the time being. Even if they were to come here, it would take some time to check the situation in the valley, but we still had time to escape as soon as possible. β
Yao Qiu'er hurriedly reminded, urging Zuo Feng to leave as soon as possible, but as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to think of something, and subconsciously said, "Could it be ......?"
Zuo Feng nodded with an ugly face and said, "They have already come, although I can't determine the specific location, but I can feel that they are very close to Taniguchi." β
If it were someone else, he couldn't see half a figure at all now, and he would definitely doubt Zuo Feng's statement. But Yao Qiu'er didn't doubt it at all, not only because Zuo Feng used his life to save herself, but because she believed that the young man in front of her had such ability, and there was no reason for this trust.
"How close?"
Staring deeply at the dense forest in the distance, the trees near there were traces of being burned or burned, but most of them were broken by stones, and the farther distance was not clear at all because of the night.
In fact, Zuo Feng couldn't see anything, he could just feel that the enemy was coming, and the vague sense of pressure let him know that the enemy was coming soon, but he couldn't determine the exact location himself.
"It's close, so close that we want to leave the valley now, and it's very likely that we'll run into them. β
Also looking at the dense forest in the distance, Yao Qiu'er couldn't feel anything, let alone see anything. But he believed what Zuo Feng said, so after she was shocked for a moment, she immediately asked: "Then what should we do now, is it ......?"
"Hey"
He subconsciously sighed and said, "This is actually what I want to ask, what should we do next." If we go down like this, we may be able to sneak away before encountering them, but the likelihood of encountering them is also very high. If we retreat back to the valley now, we will be trapped in a cage, and it will be a matter of time before they find us. β
Yao Qiu'er looked at Zuo Feng with a firm gaze, and said slowly: "I think no matter what decision you make, you need to do it as soon as possible." But whatever you decide, I'll follow you. You must know my life, but you saved it. β
looked at Yao Qiu'er's delicate face full of seriousness, and there was a determined look in her eyes that stared at herself firmly.
Zuo Feng nodded slowly and said, "Let's go back for the time being, I think it will be more dangerous to leave now." β
After finishing speaking, Zuo Feng turned his head and walked back, Yao Qiu'er was somewhat surprised by Zuo Feng's decision, but after being stunned, he firmly followed Zuo Feng back into the valley.
In her opinion, Zuo Feng is definitely the kind of person who has extraordinary courage, sometimes she knows the danger and will not flinch in the slightest, and sometimes she even thinks that Zuo Feng is in a state of extreme enjoyment in the process of facing difficulties.
Based on this understanding, she believes that Zuo Feng will choose to leave immediately in 90%. But he didn't expect that Zuo Feng would choose to stay and deal with the situation in front of him in such an extremely conservative way.
However, what she just said was not casually said, she also thought the same thing in her heart, since Zuo Feng had already made a decision, she did not hesitate to choose to follow.
Because this time it was from top to bottom, and the two of them had already walked once when they came up, the speed of coming down now was much faster than when they went up.
About half an hour after the left wind and the left wind retreated from the valley mouth, countless figures wearing gray-black robes appeared at the valley mouth of the valley.
If Zuo Feng and the others had chosen to retreat before, they would inevitably be discovered by these people, and the two of them would probably fall directly into the encirclement of the enemy. Because the two of them walked down from the bare stone mound, it would be extremely obvious, but because these people were not easy to be noticed because they were shuttling through the forest.
It's just that Zuo Feng doesn't need to see it, and his beast-like sharp intuition plays a crucial role in critical judgments.
When he was measuring the advance and retreat before, Zuo Feng also considered that it would be a big deal to break through with all his strength after encountering the enemy, and he still had fire and thunder on his body. It was still possible to create some chaos so that the two of them could escape, but he didn't know that the number and strength of the martial artists in front of him were not at all a trouble that could be solved by some small chaos.
Now he retreated directly into the valley, thus avoiding a head-on conflict for the time being, but retreating into the valley was tantamount to catching a turtle in an urn.
After Zuo Feng and Yao Qiu'er came down from the stone mound, they immediately headed towards the valley, and under the leadership of Zuo Feng, they quietly came to a secluded place, and then secretly lurked.
"We secretly hid near the mouth of this valley, do we think there is still a chance to leave?"
Looking at the location of the messy valley mouth, Yao Qiu'er couldn't help but ask.
Zuo Feng shook his head and said, "The chance is not big, but we can't miss any opportunity, if they are slack, we will take the opportunity to leave." β
It had been less than half an hour since the two of them lurked, and they saw a figure flickering out of the stone tower. Looking from the outside of the valley, the light in the valley is not good, so you can't see anything from a distance.
Looking out in the valley, you will still be able to clearly see the top of the stone mill because the light outside the valley is better.
One, two, three...... When dozens of people appeared, Zuo Feng and Yao Qiu'er no longer counted, Zuo Feng saw that there were people at the top of the stone to guard the two ends, and he also sighed secretly, and quietly retreated with Yao Qiu'er.
