Chapter 181: Sniping
After a long stay, the prince and I didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurried all the way to the Dragon's Head Hill before dawn, the center where the east and west, north and south of the demon world converged, from the time of calculation, Wu Ji and Wu Pan and the two thousand red-robed wizards have been to Luwu for more than ten days, if they succeed in capturing Lu Wu, they should also be on the way back.
Jiuying tore and devoured the Gu Eagle in Changliu, although he was blind in one eye, but he destroyed Wu Zhen in the Ten Witches, he completely used the Gu Eagle to see things, and the Gu Eagle was really like a waste person when the Gu Eagle died, but the Nine Babies were wreaking havoc in Changliu I was worried that the Ten Witches were afraid that Wu would be difficult to resist, and maybe they would send reinforcements to help Wu Pan them, so they kept hoping to intercept them on the way back.
Of course, the best result is that these wizards can't control Lu Wu, calculate the time, the army led by the silver moon should also reach Changliu, I really hope that she can kill Changliu's Zhu Yan as soon as possible, and then quickly occupy the Dragon Head Hill to block the wizard's passage back to Lingshan.
The prince and I walked along the mountain forest and always guarded the road from Luwu to the Dragon's Head Hill, on the way we found the footprints of the wizard of Lingshan, it seems that my guess is correct, but I have not found the returning wizard, until the third day the prince found the traces of the car on the road, but the traces disappeared in the mountain forest on one side.
"I also found traces of cars on the road before, but the traces left by the past were very shallow, but now this road is very deep, I guess there must be something very heavy on the car." The prince squatted on the ground and looked up at me, and said calmly.
"It seems that Wu Ji and Wu Pan must have succeeded in capturing Lu Wu." I said with a grim and worried face. "Lu Wu is an ancestral demon, even if he is bewitched, it is impossible to be easily annoyed, presumably he must use this car to transport it back to Lingshan and then control it."
The prince found the grass and trees in the traces of the wheels, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment.
"Judging from the freshness of these plants and trees, the wizard of Lingshan has just passed a day at most, if he has already captured Lu Wu, he should return to Lingshan immediately, why did the traces of this wheel deviate from the road and disappear into the mountains and forests."
I hurriedly took out the mountain and sea map handed to me by Yinyue, and compared it to the place where the wheels disappeared, from here after entering the mountain forest, there was an unattainable mountain range, and there was no shortcut to the spiritual mountain.
"It's really strange, there is no passage here at all, why did Wu Ji and Wu Pan suddenly enter the mountain forest where there is a dead end in front of them?" I shook my head in bewilderment.
"Could it be that our whereabouts have been detected, and the wizards of Lingshan are worried that we will be ambushed, so they hide in the mountains and forests and wait for help." The prince said cautiously.
"Probably not, no one noticed when the Nine Babies led Zhu Yan away and we passed through the Changliu, not to mention that the Nine Babies also turned back, and the Wu Yu who guarded the Changliu would never have thought that we would actually pass through the Changliu." I shook my head affirmatively and looked at the mountains and forests ahead. "There must be other reasons, it can't be so much, since there is a dead end ahead, let's follow it and take a look, Wu Ji and Wu Pan have no other places to go."
The prince nodded, and we cautiously dived into the forest, the further we went, the more rugged the mountain road became, it was not suitable for a car at all, and we saw a lot of scattered items along the way, and the prince found a discarded witch staff in the grass.
"This wand is like a weapon to the wizard of Lingshan, and without the wand is just an ordinary mortal demon." I took it and said in surprise with a frown. "What the hell is going to happen that will make the wizard lose his armor and even throw away his wand?"
"It shouldn't be a good thing." The prince stretched out his hand, and I saw that there were dried blood stains on it, and the prince looked around and said calmly. "The Lingshan Wizard must have encountered some danger, and he also suffered heavy casualties."
"That's even more strange, the west of the demon world is already under the control of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, and there is Wen Zhuo in the north, and the Ten Witches don't dare to act rashly, but in the south, except for Lu Wu, there is no demon clan that can make it difficult for both Wu Ji and Wu Pan to deal with." I took out the mountain and sea chart again, looked at it carefully, and said seriously for a long time. "What's more, no one except us is aware of the Ten Witches of Lingshan, who will hinder Wu Ji and Wu Pan here?"
"Could it be Lu Wu, after all, it is the ancestral demon who will not be controlled and bewitched so easily, maybe it was Lu Wu who suddenly broke out when he came here, so that the wizard of Lingshan would throw away his armor and flee to the mountains and forests." The prince said.
"Probably not, Lu Wu's most powerful demon method is the nine hundred and ninety-nine eyes that cover the whole body, which are the eyes that no demon clan dares to look at except for the Ancient God Emperor, only looking at each other will immediately scatter." I rubbed the blood stains on my hands a few times. "If Lu Wu is awake and uncontrollable, he only needs to open his eyes and the wizards around him will die immediately, leaving no blood stains at all."
"Since it's not Lu Wu, it's strange, according to what you said, there is no demon clan south of the demon realm that can resist the wizards of Lingshan, so what is the reason for the witch wands to be discarded." The prince looked around and said suspiciously.
"If you look a little further, you might find something." I didn't know the reason for a while, so I pointed to the depths of the mountains and forests and said to the prince.
Not long after walking further, the prince and I found several corpses of wizards in red robes in the grass, which proved that our conjecture was correct, it must have been Wu Ji and Wu Pan attacked on the way back, and it was difficult to resist the panic and fled into the forest, judging from the corpses of the wizards, there was no violent fight, I found a bite wound on the neck of the corpse, but strangely enough, a lot of blood would flow out of the bitten here, but in the grass we only found scattered blood stains.
Judging from the wounds, these wizards were attacked from behind, and they died before they even reacted, Wu Ji and Wu Pan were also one of the ten witches, not to mention that they also brought two thousand red-robed wizards, in the case of the weakening of the demon qi in the demon world, few demon clans dared to ambush the Lingshan wizards, I took out the mountain and sea scriptures and looked through them to determine that there was no such powerful demon clan south of the demon world at all.
"Did you notice that the corpses of these wizards were not killed when they went deep into the forest, but as if they were attacked when they tried to get out of the forest." The prince looked at the traces around him and said to me seriously.
I was just about to speak, when suddenly the prince and I heard the sound of rustling in the grass in the distance, and hurriedly hid behind a big tree on the side.
After a while, the prince and I saw a wizard in a red robe with a frightened face and trembling cautiously leaning out of the grass, and after observing for a long time, he came out in fear, there were no other wizards behind him, the prince and I looked at each other, and when the red-robed wizard passed by us, the prince went up and grabbed him behind a tree.
The red-robed wizard screamed in panic as if he knew about the attack, and I covered his mouth and said sternly.
"If you call you again, you'll end up with the wizard over there."
The wizard nodded in horror, and I watched him slowly calm down, and the prince probed forward for a while, turned back and shook his head at me, indicating that there were no more wizards, and I let go of my hand.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." The wizard said incoherently with a look of trepidation.
"Who's going to kill you?" I asked seriously with a frown.
My question made the wizard look dazed, and the eyes should have caught a glimpse of the corpses of the wizards not far away, his face as pale as a blank piece of paper.
"Whatever I ask you, you can say, if there is a half-deception......" I said as I looked at the corpses of the dead wizards, meaning that I believe he should understand.
The red-robed wizard who was captured by us nodded incessantly.
"You are the red-robed wizard of Lingshan, what are you doing here?"
The red-robed wizard squirmed for a while, and after the Adam's apple, he didn't dare to hide the details at all, he said that now the lord of Lingshan is Wu Lang, and ordered the three great wizards of Wu Ji, Wu Yi and Wu Pan to lead the Zhu Yan army and two thousand red-robed wizards out of the Lingshan, Wu Yan led the Zhu Yan army to stay on guard for a long time and stop the demon clan alliance of the Qingqiu country at all costs.
And Wu Ji and Wu Pan led the other two thousand red-robed wizards to go deep into Lu Wu south of the demon world, because Wu Yi found clues of the ancestral demon in the classics left by Wu Xian, and Wu Zhen also found the whereabouts of Lu Wu, one of the twelve ancestral demons, when he sent Gu Eagles to investigate in the south.
Therefore, the lord of the country, Wu Lang, ordered them to capture Lu Wu alive no matter what, and it was very smooth at the beginning, Wu Ji's medicine combined with Wu Pan's bewitching technique and the control of the joint efforts of two thousand red-robed wizards finally captured Lu Wu, but ......
The red-robed wizard said this, his face turned even paler, and after a pause, he continued with palpitations, Lu Wu had nine hundred and ninety-nine eyes on his body, and after being controlled, Lu Wu closed his eyes and fell asleep, Wu Pan and Wu both immediately ordered two thousand red-robed wizards to load Lu Wu in the car and drive back to Lingshan, but on the way back, they were suddenly attacked, and many wizards died tragically without knowing it, and they all happened in the middle of the night, in order to prevent being attacked by Wu Pan and Wu set up a witchcraft barrier, but it was useless, As long as it is late at night, even if he is fully engrossed, the Lingshan wizard will leave a large number of corpses the next day.
"So we didn't dare to sleep at night, and we all waited until dawn and hurried tiredly, but even during the day the attacks never stopped, and by the time we arrived here, there were less than five hundred of the two thousand wizards left." The red-robed wizard said with a frightened expression. "There was no choice but to go into the mountains and forests to try to hide, but the attack was like a shadow, and death followed wherever we went."
The prince and I looked at each other after listening, and I asked seriously with a frown.
"Who attacked you?"
"I don't know!" The wizard shook his head in horror.
"Don't know?" I was stunned that less than 500 of the 2,000 wizards were sniped, and I didn't even know who had been killed. "How come you don't even know who your opponent is when so many people die?"
"The attacks all happened in the middle of the night, and it was not clear who was coming."
"How many of you were there?" The prince asked.
The red-robed wizard squirmed his Adam's apple again, licked his lips, and looked at me and the prince in horror, and it took a long time before he replied in horror.
"One...... There is only one person! ”
