Chapter 31: Temptation
We've just stabilized and we're leaving, so we're a little tired.
The Qilin Ghost City is Huang Ying is responsible for the coordination, and it is basically a rule, if we are here, no matter what, the danger will not be too great, but if we follow Huang Kui to the Vermilion Bird Ghost Market, it is his territory, if he does it quietly, coupled with the cooperation of the ghost market, we will definitely suffer a big loss.
I subconsciously said, "I can't let him go." ”
But the worm squinted and said, "Let's go!" ”
What the?
I was a little surprised, and said, why are you leaving?
The worm's eyes looked left and right, and then he waved his right hand decisively and said in a low voice: "Intercept and kill halfway!" ”
Yes?
I didn't expect the worm to be so decisive, and there were no rules of the ghost market in my heart.
But I quickly figured it out, the origin and concept of the worm, and I am still different, I was born under the red flag, grew up in a new society, accustomed to the constraints of morality and law, and has a natural obedience to any rules, but she is not, Chi Limei herself is a rule-maker, and the worm adheres to her will, and is definitely not a person who plays cards according to common sense.
In her eyes, Huang Kui is not the fourth master of the Huang family, nor is he a bomb that is very likely to detonate, but the murderer who killed her, or Chi Limei's pet.
Xiaojin's death has never been mentioned by Worm, but it doesn't mean that she hasn't taken it to heart.
She didn't let go.
When he was in the ghost market, the enemy was strong, the rules were strict, and all the heroes gathered, and the insects had to hide their thoughts tightly, and if Huang Kui arrived in the wasteland where there were no rules to talk about, everything would be different.
Since the worm has decided on this matter, I have no further opinion.
I packed my luggage immediately, and then Worm took me and Jiang Bao to bid farewell to the eldest lady of the Huang family.
We have all thought about the reason on the road, before coming to the Qilin Ghost City, just to get back the next person, now that the misunderstanding has been explained clearly, then there is nothing to do, the two people are treating their injuries in the hospital, and we will return to Baishan first, report the news to the master, as for the future, we will definitely come to bother again.
However, we didn't see Huang Ying, and Uncle Gang, who went to report it, told us that the eldest lady was in a bad mood, drank a little more wine, and had fallen asleep.
There is no need to meet Huang Ying, this is the best result, Worm took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Uncle Gang.
Worm told him that this was her message to Huang Ying, and if he was not there, he hoped to pass it on.
Uncle Gang bowed down and took it, saying that he would convey it.
We left the Yellow Mansion, but the little demon came back and said in a low voice: "I had a little thing just now, just when I saw Huang Kui and his party leaving the ghost city, the round spirit charm can be on his body, what are you going to do?" ”
I said that the worm had already resigned to Huang Ying, and we would leave now.
The little demon said that she understood, and said that she would go with the people first, and let us go later.
When I walked through the main street, I asked the worm to leave with Jiang Bao first, and I went to report the news to Wang Weijia and the ugly Taoist priest.
Wang Weijia was seriously injured and was recuperating in the hospital, and he would not be able to leave for a while, so it was best to recuperate here.
However, what I'm worried about is that once the news of our ambush of Huang Kui comes back, maybe the Huang Mansion will embarrass these two people, so I will talk to them in advance, so as not to be caught as an old turtle in the urn when we get it.
When I came to the hospital, I didn't tell them that we were going to ambush Huang Kui, but told them that we were going to leave.
In addition, let them be careful themselves, and if something happens, it is better to hurry away.
In addition, I also asked for five gold chips from the worm and gave them two emergencies.
I've done my best.
Regarding our departure, the two of them were shocked at first, especially Wang Weijia, who actually wanted to hold his body and said that he wanted to go with the worm girl.
However, he didn't get up after all, his body was covered with plaster, and even if he was accompanied by an ugly Taoist priest, he couldn't move.
After a bit of arguing, he finally gave up, and the ugly priest asked me, "Then how do we go back?" ”
I said the road to Baishan, inquire about it, and you will be able to know, and we will meet again when the time comes.
The three of them told each other to take care of themselves before leaving.
I don't know why, but when I saw the eyes of these two Taoists before leaving, I always had a feeling that I had abandoned them.
Ask yourself, if the fifteen-day period has come and they don't make it, will I wait for them?
Apparently not.
Whether it's me, or worms, they have nothing to do with these two Taoist priests, they are purely boring and boring, and they have repeatedly made trouble for us, if it weren't for the little affection of their peers, who would care about them?
The attitude of insects is actually the best way.
I said goodbye to the hospital and went to the torii at the exit of the ghost market, where the middle-aged scribe in a gray robe was talking to the insects.
The worm talked in a hurry, and when I came, he said to the man, "Then let's go first." ”
The middle-aged scribe arched his hand and said, "The stone tablet will not be withdrawn, and you are welcome to come next time." ”
This person's service attitude is simply indescribable, we bowed down to say goodbye to him, after leaving the ghost market, the worm told me that in the ghost market, there are not many masters who can make her feel jealous, but it is not a few, in addition to that Hua Shen Doctor and Huang Ying, Gangbo is counted as one, and this middle-aged scribe is also counted as one.
After all, there are as many masters as there are dogs on Huangquan Road.
I don't think Worm has ever seen Shopkeeper Tong, otherwise there would be one more person on this list.
After we left the Kirin Ghost Market, we walked all the way to a forest, and then the little demon turned back and said that the gang was resting in a nearby mountain col and did not leave.
I asked how far it was, and she told us that it was almost an hour away.
I was stunned and said that we also came out closely, why is there such a long distance?
The little demon smiled and said that you are two-legged and others are four-legged, can this be the same?
I inquired a little deeper, only to learn that Huang Kui and his gang left on a dinosaur leopard.
What is Dinosaur Leopard?
It was a beast with a leopard-like body and a terrifying head, and it lived in the plains of the lower reaches of the River Styx, and was a very powerful carnivorous beast, but if tamed, it could be used as a ride for long journeys.
Every dinosaur leopard can be worth a thousand gold, and only a thousand-year-old family like the Huang family can afford it.
Huang Kui and his party, there are ten people in total, not all of his subordinates, but they are the most elite group.
If you want to intercept such a person, you need to be absolutely strong.
However, even though he knew all this, the worm did not hesitate.
If a girl's face doesn't change, how can I show fear? So after getting the goblin's guidance, we continued on the road and increased the speed.
It took us more than an hour to get there.
In the meantime, we crossed the Yellow Springs Avenue again, but this time we didn't see an army of ghosts walking by.
When the rolling rocks appeared in front of us, the little demon told us that it was done.
None of us know where the Vermilion Bird Ghost City is, and we don't know what it means that this Huang Kui is stationed here.
The little demon flew to investigate, and we touched the col.
As soon as I entered it, I felt that this place was simply a labyrinth surrounded by countless rocks, and it was extremely hard to walk, and there was something wrong no matter how you looked at it.
No one will set up camp here.
With the little demon's previous mention, despite the countless detours and dead ends, we still found a camp to be stationed in.
Five tents, with a large fire in the middle, a figure could be faintly seen shaking in the tent, and in front of the fire, a man in battle armor was leaning against meat.
It was a wild boar, and its delicious meat was roasted by a campfire, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.
No matter how you look at it, there's an urge to make people raid.
Worm and I crouched behind the rocks, glanced at each other, but saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
Something is not right.
We didn't act rashly, but waited behind the rocks, and after more than ten minutes, the little demon fell from the sky and flew to our side, and the worm asked in a low voice: "Is it a trap?" ”
The little demon nodded, yes, there were only two baits in the camp at most, and they were not the elites who left with Huang Kui; At the corridor in the southwest corner, there were eight knights ready to assault; And at those commanding heights, there were crossbowmen in ambush. In addition to this, I have seen people manipulating near the camp, presumably a magic circle - there are at least thirty people here, and it is a standard ambush circle.
The worm asked, "Did you see Huang Kui?" ”
The little demon said no, from the sky, there was no difference between these people, and I couldn't see where he was.
Worm nodded, and said that since Huang Ying didn't show up, I felt that something was wrong, she did drink a lot, but she was definitely not so drunk that she couldn't see guests, it was more like she didn't want to face me, or she didn't want to show her feet.
I said what you mean, is this ambush circle made by Huang Ying and Huang Kui?
Worm said yes, Huang Kui's power is in the Vermilion Bird Ghost City, and it is impossible to gather so many people in advance, and looking at the battle, except for the person in charge of the Qilin Ghost City, it is difficult for others to get out.
I said Huang Ying doubted you?
Worm shook her head, saying that she was very entangled and unsure, so she would use this method to test, and my previous resignation had actually confirmed most of her guesses.
I couldn't help laughing, saying that they didn't expect that our little demon had already seen through everything.
The little demon suddenly spoke: "Maybe they don't just want to test us, and there is one more person, but you have forgotten ......"
I was stunned and said who else?
Just then, a dark shadow climbed down from the top of the hill and swooped down towards the camp.
