Chapter 208: Temptation
Jinjiao Island is densely wooded and crisscrossed with branches, so it is not difficult to walk on it, but it is slightly more difficult to trace than on the ground.
Suddenly, Ling Yun, who was walking behind, exclaimed.
He Jiangyang looked back and saw that the short dagger she was holding in one hand was stained with some blood, and the other hanging arm trembled slightly.
He Jiangyang immediately understood, and hurriedly went over to tear the sleeves on her drooping arm, and there were two tiny tooth marks on her whitening skin, and a small patch of black purple around her was slowly expanding.
"Offended!"
He Jiangyang spoke, his mouth was aimed at the black and purple and began to suck, and with each inhale, he spit out a mouthful of black and purple blood.
After repeating it five or six times, I saw that the blood I vomited out became bright red, and then I stopped.
At this time, Ling Yun was weak, his face was slightly red, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Are you alright?" He Jiangyang asked.
Although the toxins on the surface seemed to be cleared, he didn't know much about the poisonous snakes on the Golden Jiao Island, and he didn't know if it would cause other discomfort.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Yang! I'm fine, let's keep going. Ling Yun's weak face revealed a trace of exhaustion, but there was a firm gaze in his clear eyes.
He Jiangyang felt a trace of strangeness in his heart.
On the beach before, he had already seen through the secret of Ling Yun's weak woman pretending to be a man, but he didn't want to expose her.
This seemingly delicate little girl is not afraid of danger, resolute and heroic, and is not inferior to a man in any way. This made He Jiangyang not only admire, but also cherished.
But soon he came back to his senses and secretly warned himself: "He Jiangyang, although she is a little girl, she is your employer!" ”
There is an unwritten rule that treasure hunters must not have emotional entanglements with their employers!
This is not to protect the employer, but to warn the treasure hunters: do not have undue feelings for the employer during the trading period, otherwise you may lose your life!
Of course, there are many treasure hunters who don't comply, but nine out of ten end miserably. In fact, He Jiangyang didn't really care about this rule, but he didn't want to make a mistake.
Since he saw Ling Yun's weak identity, he understood the relationship between her and Xuanhu. He is not taking advantage of people's danger and taking away their loved ones!
Therefore, in addition to Fang Cai's "intimate" move, He Jiangyang kept a due distance from Ling Yunwan as before.
After more than half an hour, the two stopped near the end of the woods, hid behind the trees, and took a closer look.
There is a hill that is not too high in front of it, and in the clearing at the foot of the mountain, many simple wooden houses have been built; There are also some crude defenses, but they seem to be simple defenses against beasts.
It was almost dusk, and people began to be busy in the open space, setting up bonfires and roasting game.
It didn't take long for a burst of meaty aroma to come out.
Ling Yunqiao and He Jiangyang ate a few fruits from the island, and they had no time to eat, and they were already hungry at this time. But smelling the smell of meat wafting over, Ling Yunwan had no appetite at all.
Because the whereabouts of Fu Zefeng's two brothers are still unknown, Xuanhu's life and death are uncertain; She pretended to be calm on the surface, but the string in her heart was tense all the time.
When more and more people gathered around the bonfire, Ling Yunqiao couldn't bear it anymore.
She glanced at He Jiangyang, who went down in understanding, knocked out a guard standing not far from them, and dragged him into the woods.
While Ling Yun was weakly changing the guard's clothes, He Jiangyang went to a nearby place and robbed a person in.
The guard was sober. Seeing that Ling Yun was weak, they didn't panic when they held a knife against their necks, they just snorted coldly: "Intruders, they will be severely punished!" ”
Ling Yun snorted weakly: "How to punish severely?" Captivity? Or killed? ”
"Are you as murderous as you pirates?" The guard gritted his teeth.
"We're not pirates!" He Jiangyang explained, "We are merchants who have been swept in by waterspouts, and we have rashly broken into your habitat to find our companions. ”
"Humph!" The guard snorted coldly, obviously not believing He Jiangyang's words.
Ling Yun rolled his eyes weakly and asked, "Have you ever been attacked by pirates before?" ”
"Heh, those thieves are still trying to sneak up on us!" The guard's face was full of disdain.
"Why, those thieves are locked up by you?"
"That's nature! If it weren't for ......"
Halfway through his words, the guard suddenly stopped and said angrily: "You are talking to me!" ”
Ling Yun weak: "......"
You're getting carried away!
"Hmph, you don't want to save them, it's best to catch them. After entering Jinjiao Island, don't even think about going out in this life! ”
The guard's sworn appearance made Ling Yun weakly teasing:
"We don't want to save those pirates, they're our nemesis, and we want to thank you for keeping them in. Besides, who said we were going out? ”
"What?!"
Ling Yunwan looked at the guard's deflated appearance, and continued to smile: "There are many rare treasures on this Golden Jiao Island, and no one dares to attack them easily, isn't it happy to live here?" Since we're here, we don't want to leave! ”
"You ......," cried the guard, who froze for a moment, ignoring the knife on his neck, "do you think you can keep if you want?" No one can stay on the island without Xuan Niang's nod! ”
He made a loud noise, but they were some distance from the clearing, and they were all gathered around the campfire, so they didn't attract the attention of the others.
But the knife in He Jiangyang's hand still cut his neck a little harder, and warned: "Be quiet, otherwise don't blame the knife for not having long eyes!" ”
The guard snorted and was silent.
Xuan Niang? Ling Yun thought to himself weakly.
She's the head of Jinjiao Island? It seems that talking to her will work!
Ling Yunwan asked He Jiangyang to rip off the guard's clothes and tear two more strips of cloth. One tied the guard's wrists, and the other tied his bleeding neck.
The guard was stunned for a moment, he thought that if these two people didn't kill him, at least they would just knock him out and throw him aside. But they would stop the bleeding for him? Aren't they really pirates?
"Who are you?" The guard asked suspiciously.
Ling Yunwan grinned: "Your guests! ”
With that, he shoved a piece of cotton cloth into the guard's mouth.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're too noisy and will cause us trouble, so I'll wronged you first!"
The guard Yuan opened his eyes and glared at Ling Yun weakly, but he didn't struggle.
He Jiangyang was a little confused, but he didn't refute it.
Judging from the weak performance of Fang Cai, he admired this little girl's strategy even more in his heart; Everything she does must have a deep meaning.
Indeed, Ling Yun had his own calculations in his heart.
This guard is by no means an ordinary islander, and from the information he revealed and the tone between his words, it is clear that his status on the island is not low!
