Chapter 12: The Cold Light Unsheathed
The team of hundreds of people left Jinling in an orderly manner, and the Heifeng Canyon to go on this trip was far away, and it would take a few days, but fortunately, everyone was a war master, and their physical strength was enough to persevere, but the slave camp at the rear was in a hurry, and from time to time someone fell to the ground because of physical exhaustion.
"呲~"
The whip shadow waved, and a disciple of the Zhao family was whipping the slave with impatience on his face, and directly whipped the person unconscious, and the middle-aged man at the front of the army frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Captain Yuwang, this person is lazy and refuses to hurry, which seriously affects the speed of the team, so in my opinion, it is better to leave him in this old forest. The Zhao family's disciple's face was vicious.
The middle-aged eyes were a little disgusted, and he also had a lot of complaints about the Zhao family's various behaviors along the way, but because of the Zhao family's current prestige, he has always been forbearing.
"Well, leave him behind, leave some food for him to fend for himself, now that the front-line war is tight and cannot be delayed, let's speed up. ”
The children of the Zhao family nodded hurriedly, with some smugness between their eyebrows, and directly picked up the thin slave and threw it on the side of the road, he did not leave any food as the captain ordered, but turned his head and returned to the team.
The crowd looked indifferently, apparently the life and death of a slave did not matter to them.
Duan Wuya's fist at the end was quietly clenched, his heart swelled unbearably, and he quietly took out a few steamed buns that were already cold from his arms, and threw them beside the slave while people were not paying attention, and the thin figure squirmed with his eyes and lips half-open, as if he was grateful.
The demon hunters have been marching in the deep mountains and old forests for a day, and now they are very far away from Jinling, surrounded by dense trees, and this boundary is a famous and fierce place: the Barren Bone Forest.
Captain Wang's eyes were solemn, he was a third-order senior battle master sent by the Qingyun Sect, and he was also the strongest person in the team, and he was responsible for leading everyone this time.
"Stop. ”
Everyone looked puzzled, stopped and looked at this side, and Zhao Wouji, the leader of the Zhao family, asked, "Captain, is there a situation?"
The middle-aged man's gaze fell straight into the bushes ahead, which were covered with sharp thorns, and a path faintly emerged from them.
"This is the only way to enter and exit the Barren Bone Forest, and there must be an unknown danger hidden in it, so don't venture into it. ”
I saw that the path was winding and narrow, leading to the depths of the dark jungle, and there were white bones looming in the middle, and an eerie feeling hit me, which made people shiver.
The reputation of the Barren Bone Forest is like thunder, and it is rumored that this place is also a battlefield of people and demons a long time ago, in which countless strong people have fallen, and then the battle line has expanded, and this place has slowly become a wasteland, but the hidden danger has not decreased, and the slightest carelessness will fall into a desperate situation.
"What now?" Another young man walked out, it was Zhang Hao, who had rescued Duan Wuya at the beginning.
Captain Wang hesitated for a while: "Everyone chooses some disciples with flexible body methods to go in and investigate, and if they find something abnormal, they will withdraw immediately, and there is no other way." ”
Many people immediately showed cowardice, and Zao Wou-Ki directly refused: "The members of our family are the main combat force in this war, and not a single soldier can be damaged, I don't agree to do this." ”
His tone was not polite, and the rest of the family immediately echoed it, with a face full of flattery, but the corners of Zhang Hao's mouth were a little disdainful.
Captain Wang's face was ugly, and he forcibly suppressed his anger: "Then according to Zhao Gongzi, what should I do?"
Zao Wou-Ki seemed to have expected the other party to ask a question, and his face suddenly sinister, and his gaze went directly to the back of the line.
"Captain, have you forgotten the usefulness of these slaves, and in my opinion, it is best to let them go to explore the way, even if they die, it will not detract from our strength. ”
Captain Wang was stunned, his face changed a lot, and he nodded slowly.
The members of the family immediately breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't want to be presumptuously assigned to be cannon fodder, there must be unknown dangers hidden in that path, and it would be a bit unjust to be buried in it.
Several people quickly walked towards the back of the group, and the slaves stood up and bent over, their faces frightened.
"Tell me, are any of you good at speed?" Team Wang asked in a cold voice, and not long after, a few of the slaves really cowered and raised their hands, making Duan Wuya frown.
"So few..."The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, there were only five people in front of him, and the result was really unsatisfactory.
"Hey, hey... Captain Wang didn't know that these slaves were very cunning, and they refused to admit it because they were afraid of their own safety. ”
Zhao Wuji smiled strangely, and then his eyes fell on Duan Wuya in the corner, with a teasing face, and the young man immediately raised his gaze, and the killing intent in his heart flashed.
Their eyes converged, and many people had complicated faces, they naturally recognized Duan Wuya, and they also knew the grievances between Zao Wou-Ki and him.
Wang Protector looked at it for a moment and said curiously: "He is the son of the Duan family? The head of the Duan family also has a few relationships with me, and he is indeed a good man who stands up to the sky, but I didn't expect his heirs to ........"
"Isn't it him, his speed was not weak before he became a degenerate, even if he is abolished now, he must still have the basic skills, so he is a very suitable candidate. ”
Zhao Wuji refused to give up, listening to his words, Cai Wei's pretty face in the Qingyun Sect team slowly turned cold, and just as she was about to leave the ranks, Duan Wuya in the field stood up calmly, and then walked to a few slaves and spoke in a low voice.
"Go back, don't die for nothing. ”
Under a few suspicious glances, he finally raised his head and looked at Captain Wang: "My lord, you can leave this matter to me alone, what you need is to investigate, too many people will add chaos." ”
Captain Wang was a little surprised, and nodded slightly after thinking for a moment, the strength of the previous slaves was too weak, even if they were sent out, it would only have the opposite effect, but Duan Wuya made him a little unpredictable.
From the beginning to the end, Wu Yan never looked at Zao Wou-Ki squarely, which also made him more and more unhappy, and cursed in his heart: "Little bastard, I see how arrogant you will be!"
The slaves retreated to the rear and looked at Duan Wuya's gaze with a somewhat complicated look. The status of the fallen is lower than that of a slave, so they have never had a good face towards Duan Wuya for a long time, but now this young man has stood up for them.
The children of the major families all looked at each other, their faces were complicated, and even now, they still couldn't forget the sharp edge that Duan Wuya had at the beginning.
Under the gaze of many, the young man got up and walked slowly towards the path, and Cai Wei in the queue of the Qingyun Sect finally couldn't hold it back, and quickly swept out to stop him, with anger on his face.
Her appearance made Duan Wuya feel a little weak, and the girl directly gritted her silver teeth and scolded: "You stupid, when have you been a hero, you are really angry with me!"
"Uh....", laughing.
Cai Wei's strange behavior also made the Qingyun Sect puzzled, and even Captain Wang was quite surprised, obviously not knowing why this girl, who had always been alone, was so annoyed and angry.
Looking at Duan Wuya's appearance, Cai Wei couldn't bear it, and quickly handed over the matching sword on her waist: "Take this for self-defense, once you find something wrong, withdraw it immediately, and you must come back alive." ”
Duan Wuya's heart welled up with emotion, and he looked at the familiar sword, and a touch of confidence appeared on his face.
This sword is called "Shocking", which was originally a gift from him to Cai Wei, but I didn't expect the girl to return it today.
A smile slowly appeared on his face, and the young man agreed softly: "Okay, I'll return you when I'm done." ”
Cai Wei's chest was hot, and Duan Wuya's tone at this time was just the same as before, it was an absolute confidence.
At this moment, the young man finally raised his hand to take the sword, and he held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and twitched it hard, only to hear a "bang".
The cold light is out of the sheath!
The stunned sword, the whole body was churning, and after entering Duan Wuya's palm, it actually groaned out of thin air, and there was an extremely happy emotion on it, and many people's swords trembled.
The pupils of the Wang Protector not far away contracted suddenly, and he couldn't help but applaud in his heart, and his eyes were full of regret when he looked at Duan Wuya.
"As far away as Qingyun Sect, I heard that the Jinling Duan family has an only son, who awakens sword intent at the age of sixteen, and has never tasted defeat in his swordsmanship. Even if he is abolished, his sword intent still refuses to disperse, he is really a demon! If it is not for the halfway change, his future is limitless.... It's a pity, it's a pity. ”
Everyone stared at this side with a look of surprise on their faces, Duan Wuya stroked the stunned sting, and there was an indissoluble tenderness in his eyes, which was the demeanor that only sword idiots have.
Immediately, his head was raised suddenly, and a hearty laugh resounded through the jungle: "Laughing proud of the three or five worlds in the world, the thunder suddenly awakened the divine soldiers." All of them are defeated and invincible, and the cold light breaks through the nineteen states!"
Ben Thunder Sword Song!
Cai Wei had fallen into a stupor, and her eyes quickly reddened, but she didn't expect that when this familiar thunder sword song sounded again, everything was already a matter of fact.
"Girl, today I will reproduce the Thunder Sword Technique for you, whether you can awaken the sword intent depends on your comprehension. ”
After that, the sting in the young man's hand suddenly surged with monstrous battle intent, and the cold qi of the sword body soared rapidly, and Duan Wuya's eyes were like torches and swung out vigorously at the path in front of him.
"Ben Thunder Sword Song III - Crazy Dragon!"
The intense sword intent quickly condensed into a cyan long dragon and burst out, and that fluctuation did not contain any battle qi energy, but was only transformed by pure sword intent.
At the next moment, there was a huge roar in the forest, and everyone saw that the dense thorns in front of them turned into pieces out of thin air under the sharp sword intent, and a smooth and clean passage appeared in front of them, stretching straight out to the dark jungle.
There were many strange screams in the field, and even Zao Wou-Ki was full of horror: "This guy is really a monster, even if he is abolished, he can still control the sword intent to make such a terrifying move, it seems that the head of the family is right, this son must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be many dreams at night!"
Looking at the back that was slowly moving away, everyone was like yesterday, and at this moment, they finally remembered the title of the young man - Ben Thunder Sword Duan Wuyan.
