Chapter 354: The Prisoner (2-in-1)
Cheng Lin was really surprised, thinking that maybe this is also a kind of fate?
I've met two projections in a row.,It's this loose cultivation.,It looks a little interesting.,Looking at his skillful appearance, I'm afraid I've done similar things many times.,Just like that, he hasn't been beaten to death.,It's really lucky.。
Shaking his head, Cheng Lin was about to withdraw his gaze.
However, at this moment, he keenly sensed a faint and faint aura fluctuation spreading from somewhere nearby, and quickly pounced on the group of loose cultivators who were trading.
"Huh?"
Cheng Lin subconsciously lowered his body, hiding himself more hidden, he even closed his tentacles, and just peeked through the gap in the leaves with his eyes.
"Hum~"
In the woods, a strange hum suddenly sounded.
Immediately, a hazy light rose, and it was some fine points of light, like catkins, that appeared out of thin air, drifting in the air, enveloping a large area.
Aura fluctuations then rose.
For a while, whether it was the seller who was bursting with green muscles, or the cheap buyer, or something else, four people from different regions were stunned.
In less than a second, his demeanor changed in unison, and he instinctively grabbed his weapon, jumped up, and stepped back, while aiming his weapon at the others.
"Something is wrong! What kind of ability is this?! ”
The first reaction was that Sanxiu exclaimed, as soon as he stood up, a point of light fell on his shoulder, so, it was clearly visible, his knees bent, his body seemed to be under heavy pressure, and his muscles and bones creaked with teeth, and then he knelt on the ground with a puff, his face was shocked.
Several others suffered the same situation, and the fluttering points of light had an unbelievable weight, and it was difficult to get rid of them.
"Drink!"
As soon as he was obviously cultivating to a higher level, he shouted angrily, drew his sword and slashed away, the fierce aura spread, and he forced the nearby light points to retreat, and he decisively withdrew and was about to leave, however, as soon as he ran a few steps, he saw the bushes in front of him burst open, and a sword light stabbed in the leaves flying in the sky.
"Dangchang!"
The gold and iron attacked, but the scattered cultivator actually had a lot of means, and he had the upper hand with a hurried sword, but the next moment, several heavily armed figures jumped out, and several iron swords trapped him from all angles.
Within a few rounds, the man screamed and fell to the ground.
It took less than ten seconds for the battle to end, and all six of them fell to the ground, and it was only then that they could really see the enemy's appearance.
"Fine...... Genie?! ”
One of the cultivators widened his eyes and exclaimed loudly.
I saw that the ones who came out from all directions were dozens of elves!
They wore uniform soft armor, covered with shiny metal protective plates on key parts, bows and arrows and quivers on their backs, the clasps of their swords around their waists were all open, and dozens of elves held weapons in their hands, forming a round formation to surround these six loose cultivators in the middle.
Under the helmet, those faces with different appearances, but full of exotic handsome style, were full of vigilance, caution, and a hint of curiosity.
And behind these elven soldiers, a character wearing a wide robe, similar to a magician in a fantasy movie, was slowly putting away the black-brown staff, and the aura fluctuated in the field...... Or rather, the magic fluctuations finally dissipated.
This accident not only shocked the six scattered cultivators who were attacked, but Cheng Lin, who was secretly observing in the dark, was also very surprised.
Elven troops?
Sure enough, there's an elven troop hiding here!
If this was not a surprise to him, then the sudden attack of these elves was indeed unexpected.
"Obviously, this is premeditated, the whole attack is not hasty, these few scattered cultivators should have been targeted by the elf troops a long time ago, but now they are making a move, it seems that the elf royal court has indeed reacted, perhaps, there are very few troops put on this side, and the large army must be staring at the exploration team of the thirteen divisions, and that side is the main event."
Cheng Lin's thoughts flickered in his heart, and at this time, those elves finally spoke.
An elven officer gave the order, and his subordinates swarmed up and tied up the six loose cultivators with a special rope.
At the same time, they took away their weapons.
The whole process was not without resistance, but this group of elven soldiers was obviously elite, and after a few scattered cultivators ate a few heavy blows, they recklessly stopped struggling.
During the binding process, the elven officer also tried to ask a few words.
The result, of course, is to stare at each other wide-eyed.
I don't understand the language at all, and I can't communicate at all.
However, a few of the loose cultivators didn't know what they were stimulated by, and they kept shouting, and finally the officer waved his hand and simply blocked the mouths of the loose cultivators with a cloth.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work, it seems that we can only send them back to the royal capital to see if the royal court has any way to communicate with them."
The officer sighed and withdrew the knife into its scabbard with a swipe.
The "mage elf" wearing a wide robe walked over, rubbed the top of the staff, and looked serious: "Your Majesty's order is only for us to catch some and send them back for interrogation, hurry up, send them back earlier, perhaps, we can have a greater advantage in contact with those people!" ”
"Well, word has come out, and the transport team will be able to come over soon."
Probably considering that the captives couldn't understand their own words at all, the elves didn't shy away from talking.
How did they know, not far away, in a dark corner, Cheng Lin was squatting there and taking their words into his ears word for word.
The skill of Elf language finally came into play at this moment.
"Capture the captives? Transported back to the royal court? ”
Cheng Lin quickly extracted the key information, and then his eyes rolled, and he was a little moved, this was an opportunity.
"Obviously, as long as you follow them, you can reach the royal court."
After almost only hesitating for a second, Cheng Lin decided to change his route, not going back to join Gu Cheng and Jiang Ye for the time being, but trying to find a way to follow this group of elves to the royal court, he was anxious to understand the situation over there.
"It's just...... If you simply track, it is easy to be found along the way, especially this group of elves seems to be extremely good at concealment, besides, when they reach the royal capital, it will be difficult to break in in the face of strict guards. ”
Cheng Lin rubbed his chin in contemplation, thinking about a way to sneak in safely, when suddenly there was a squeak, and several strange prisoner cars came from the woods.
They have the shape of a carriage, but are powered by a pig-robin, with a black cage with a rounded arc, presumably made of some kind of alloy.
An elven squad drove over in a prisoner car, and the leading officer jumped down and greeted the colleagues in front, "No injuries, right?" ”
"No, the strength of these captives is even lower than we expected, but you must not take it lightly, be careful along the way, and don't have an accident."
"Don't worry, leave it to us."
"Okay, let's go to the next observation point first."
"Yes."
After a brief conversation, the previous group of ambushed elves quickly left, and the new transport officer saw his colleagues leave, and then turned his head and waved his hand behind him: "Throw them in the car!" ”
"Yes!"
One soldier unchained the prisoner cart and slammed open the door, while two other soldiers worked together to pull the tied loose cultivator and throw it into the cart.
Six loose cultivators, one by one, were thrown into the car.
The buyer was at the end of the line, his hands tied and his mouth gagged, and he knelt on the ground in some despair and watched his "companions" being pulled up and thrown into the car, which made him quite frightened.
Swallowing and foaming, the cargo began to carefully rub to the side.
He had fallen near a bush, and at this time the thief wanted to sneak away, and finally rubbed to the side of the bush, and seeing that no one was paying attention here, he wanted to run away, however, as soon as he tried to stand up, he was suddenly stunned!
All he saw was a figure jumping from a tree in front of him.
The figure moved extremely fast, but barely made a sound, and it was obviously human, also human, wearing a neat and simple set of clothes.
No backpack, wearing a hat and a black mask on his face.
The mask appears to have been bought on the side of the road, and it also has a picture of the mouth of a Fuungkyo ghoul anime character printed on it.
The grin is open, and the teeth of Bai Sensen are drawn, and it looks extremely weird.
Cheng Lin fell lightly, then glanced at the guy who was half-squatting in front of him, smiled at him, and then quickly picked up a piece of rope scattered on the ground, and tied a live buckle to his hands skillfully.
After that, he sat down next to Na Sanxiu with a puff, blocking his escape route.
The whole set of movements is slow to say, but it is really just a blink of an eye.
Waiting for Cheng Lin to tie himself up and squat on the ground, the wide eyes of the "buyer" next to him were filled with an emotion called "confused".
He stared at Cheng Lin in a daze, and his big flickering eyes were almost like writing a line with a pen:
"Is that okay?"
He was stunned.
He shook his head and blinked his eyes vigorously...... Not a hallucination...... What's going on? Suddenly came down from the tree for a mysterious retreat, and then tied himself up in front of himself?
Take the initiative to be a prisoner?
Who is this?
Sick in the brain, right?
After such a delay, the elven soldiers over there threw the fifth loose cultivator into the car, turned around, and rushed over to Cheng Lin and the others.
"Huh? Are there two left? I just looked like there was only one left. One of the soldiers was stunned, looked at the two of them, and looked suspicious.
Another soldier hesitated and said, "Probably you are mistaken, it's dark here, okay, hurry up and get them into the car, hurry up and go." ”
"Okay."
After the two soldiers finished speaking, they reached out to grab the two, Cheng Lin was very cooperative, motionless, but the "buyer" next to him seemed to have just come back to his senses at this time, and suddenly struggled, and his gagged mouth whined and screamed.
"He seems to be talking? Looks like there's something to say. One soldier was surprised.
Although the language barrier is not understood, sometimes the body movements can reveal some simple meanings.
Another soldier shook his head: "Can you understand what he is saying?" ”
“…… Do not understand. ”
"That's it," the soldier lifted the hilt of his sword and stabbed him firmly in the stomach with a rough movement, "stop calling!" ”
The buyer immediately screamed in pain, the whole person bowed into a shrimp, tears almost hurt out, and he scolded these two elf eight generations of ancestors in his heart, and he couldn't resist, and the whole person was about to collapse.
In desperation, he turned his head and happened to face Cheng Lin's face next to him, to be precise, Cheng Lin's smiling eyes that contained a hint of coldness, he seemed to smile, wrinkles squeezed up on both sides of the entire mask, and the ghoul's anime mouth showed some kind of distorted horror.
He subconsciously shuddered, and then was dragged to the prisoner car by the elf soldiers with Cheng Lin.
It just so happened that the five men in front of them had filled a cart, so the soldiers simply threw the two of them in another prisoner cart.
"Let me in! Let's be honest! Don't try to run away, or you'll suffer! The soldier warned, and then, probably considering that the other party didn't understand, he couldn't help but feel a little bored.
He wrapped the chain, which was thick as his arm, three times, and fastened the lock with two fists, and pulled down the cloth cover above the prisoner cart to cover the surroundings, as if he had pulled down the curtains, and in an instant, the light of the entire prisoner cart dimmed.
Then, Cheng Lin heard the sound of walking, talking, and the chirping of pigs and beasts, and the car under him swayed and began to move forward, separating a wisp of "tentacles", and Cheng Lin was able to see the scene outside.
The entire team of transporters sped into the dense forest, and then drove straight down from a hidden hole in the ground.
There are tunnels underground!
"No wonder I couldn't find them before."
Cheng Lin suddenly realized.
The prisoner cart was pulled by the pig beast and ran all the way along the underground passage, the pig beast pulling the cart seemed to be a mutated variety, and the speed was extremely fast, Cheng Lin estimated that its running speed was about sixty miles or more.
After running underground for a while, the ground suddenly rose again.
The whole team ran up a sloping "tree trunk", and soon came to a large road in the upper level of the Elven Forest, and continued to rush in the direction of the World Tree.
During the whole process, these transporters almost didn't say a word, which frustrated Cheng Lin's plan to eavesdrop on some news, but he didn't care.
At the current rate, I believe that we will soon be able to reach the royal capital, and then we will see the opportunity to act.
After making up his mind, Cheng Lin cut off his "tentacles", opened his eyes, and finally began to look at the environment he was in.
The narrow prison cart is surrounded by dense iron railings, chains, and locks, sealing all the possibilities of wanting to escape, of course, considering the material of the prisoner cart, Cheng Lin estimates that he can use the sword or dispatch the Radiant Knight, and he can forcibly break through.
He himself sat cross-legged in the middle of the cart, and the "buyer" was huddled in a corner of the cart, his whole body huddled together, and he was looking at himself with innocent eyes.
Seeing Cheng Lin look over, this guy subconsciously trembled again.
After thinking about it, his hands shook, and he untied the "live buckle" - this kind of binding method was still taught by the teacher named Wu Jiankui in the martial arts class of the spiritual academy, but he didn't expect it to be used at this time.
"Let's go."
The rope fell limply to the ground.
Cheng Lin rubbed his wrist with a circle of red marks, raised his eyebrows, and looked at the other party.
lowered his voice and said with a smile:
"I'm not very patient, so I hope you don't do anything irrational like the one before, or else...... Heh, I'll tell you the truth, I just killed a loose cultivator gang, and I don't mind killing another one, do you understand? ”
