Chapter 39: The Crowd

"You're still alive." Yue Yao took a step back, slightly shocked, and looked at Xia Beifeng with a very regretful expression, "Is it Ye Baiyu blocking those things below for you?" He's so good to you! ”

After she said this, she shook her head regretfully, and almost didn't say the last sentence of "festival mourning".

The sparrow stood on Xia Beifeng's shoulder, flapped his wings a few times, and stared at Yue Yao.

"The bunch you got out of 'over there' just don't know what to do, you don't think my master really can't deal with it, do you?" Xia Beifeng touched the sparrow's head soothingly with his backhand, and looked at Yue Yao with a smile, "No matter how much the quantity is, the quality is not good!" ”

"Really?" Yue Yao stared at Xia Beifeng with a smile in her eyes, and said confidently: "Do you dare to bet with me, just bet on Ye Baiyu's life or death." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't want to bet with you." Xia Beifeng rejected Yue Yao's proposal without hesitation, and at the same time stabbed his backhand, inserting it behind him, "Anyway, you will definitely lose in the end, I really am a gambling without suspense." ”

The brocade-clothed woman stood silently behind Xia Beifeng, and was stabbed in the abdomen by his knife. The long blade pierced her body, the rusty tip poking out of her back and nodding.

Yue Yao's body suddenly shook twice. She lowered her head and covered her lower abdomen, and her face turned pale suddenly. The place she was holding was almost exactly the same as where the woman in brocade was injured, as if the person who had been stabbed was not the woman in brocade, but her.

The brocade-clothed woman looked much calmer than Yue Yao, just lowered her head and looked at the knife inserted in her abdomen in a daze, there was no pain on her face at all, but a little confused emotion flashed in her eyes.

It was Yue Yao, her face turned white from holding her stomach and hurting, and she gritted her teeth and looked at Xia Beifeng.

The falling rubble in the cave suddenly stopped. After there is no noise of stones falling to the ground. The empty cave grew quieter.

Xia Beifeng could only hear his own gentle breathing and a slight heartbeat.

He drew his knife, glanced back at the slowly falling figure behind him, and took a step forward to prevent the fallen brocade-clothed woman from hitting him.

Yue Yao bent down and took two shallow breaths, and the painful expression on her face eased slightly.

It took another moment for her to straighten up. Release the hand that is pressing on your abdomen.

After Xia Beifeng waited for her to stand up straight again, he picked up the knife, rushed to her in two steps, and raised his hand to look at her neck.

Yue Yao took a step back, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared more than ten meters away, glaring at Xia Beifeng angrily.

"How dare you ......" Before she could finish speaking, she heard a gunshot.

She bent down again and pressed her abdomen against her, her body shaking twice hard, but finally she couldn't withstand the massive impact of the bullet. He took another half step back before he could barely stand firm, raising his head and staring at Xia Beifeng angrily.

Xia Beifeng whistled and turned the gun in his hand, looked up at the sparrow hovering above his head, and pretended that nothing had happened just now.

"I really can't kill Yue Yao, but it's okay to kill you." Xia Beifeng lowered his head and looked at Yue Yao, and educated her seriously: "Who told you that raising a knife is to cut people?" I can still shoot! ”

Yue Yao stood there holding her lower abdomen, her face becoming more and more ugly. Finally, his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

She covered her abdomen with one hand. The other hand was on the ground, struggling to keep his body balanced. Drops of blood kept leaving between her fingers, falling into the shallow water on the ground, turning into a pale pink.

She frowned, looked at the puddle of blood that was gradually gathering on the ground, and hesitated for a moment. I finally closed my eyes.

Her eyes were closed, her lips moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was muttering, and the expression on her face gradually calmed down.

As she silently chanted the incantation, the wound in her abdomen soon stopped dripping blood. The arms that supported her body no longer moved.

Xia Beifeng didn't continue to chase her, but grinned lazily and grimaced at the sparrows in the sky.

The sparrow spun around above him and winked at him.

After Yue Yao's face gradually returned to ruddy, she let go of the hand that was pressing her abdomen and got up from the ground.

"How do you know who I am?" Yue Yao squinted her eyes and asked Xia Beifeng.

"I already knew! I found out when you came out of the woods. Xia Beifeng looked at Yue Yao in surprise, as if he had heard something incredible, "Although I don't know how you hid Ye Baiyu, do you really think you are hiding it well?" ”

Yue Yao's eyes widened in surprise, as if she wanted to say something. Then I saw Xia Beifeng smiling and raising the gun in her hand again, the muzzle of which was facing her stomach.

She reached out to protect her stomach, turned sideways, and flashed under the stone wall at the edge of the cave.

"You Think I'm ......"

The sparrow flapped its wings and flew in front of her, and when she landed, she turned into a little girl in a white dress, and without thinking about raising her legs and kicking her abdomen, and after kicking her, she grabbed her hair and hit the stone wall next to her a few times while she was bowing her head, and then pushed her body backwards and threw her on a sharp rock.

That action looked like a middle school student fighting, but Yue Yao never fought back, allowing the sparrow to beat her violently, and she didn't even have the action to resist.

The sparrow's whole set of actions was done in one go, without a pause in the middle, and finally threw Yue Yao on the stone, only to clap his hands twice, and looked back at Xia Beifeng proudly.

Xia Beifeng nodded approvingly, walked slowly to Yue Yao's side, and squatted down to look at her face.

And Yue Yao, when the sparrow appeared in front of her, her eyes went dark for some reason and she lost consciousness for a short time. Until her back hit the raised edges of the stone, she stared at the high rock above in a daze. It wasn't until Xia Beifeng's face blocked her view that she realized what had just happened. "You don't mean to say that Saint Seiya won't be defeated by the same tricks." Xia Beifeng spread his hands towards her, and his tone was full of gloating regret, "It's a pity that you were indeed defeated by the same trick...... Several times. ”

"You...... You ......" Yue Yao lay on the ground for a long time, but she didn't think of what to say, and finally just shouted angrily: "You really deserve to be Ye Baiyu's apprentice." ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Xia Beifeng nodded deeply at Yue Yao, obviously feeling proud of this evaluation.

"Although Ye Baiyu is quite annoying most of the time, I still have to call him Master anyway. It's not good to lose his face when you go out...... But listening to what you said, could it be that you were beaten by him like this back then, so you were finally sealed and unconvinced? ”

Yue Yao glared, gasped twice, sneered, and turned over to stand up again.

The sparrow on one side clasped his arms. raised his leg and stepped on Yue Yao's shoulder, looking at her condescendingly.

The little girl Sparrow has thin arms and legs, looking thin and small, with a pale complexion like a patient with severe anemia, coupled with the white skirt she is wearing, she looks like she will float away with a breeze at any time, but she didn't expect that her strength is not small.

Yue Yao was trampled on the ground by her, only to feel as if she was pressed against her chest by a boulder, and she couldn't even breathe.

At the same time, she also felt the strength in her body flowing rapidly along the little white foot on her shoulder. Just for a while. She didn't even have the strength to move a little finger.

The sparrow stepped on Yue Yao's shoulder, watching her gradually even look at her eyes became a lot weaker, and turned around and gave Xia Beifeng a thumbs up.

At some point, there was a little red on her eyebrows, like a little droplet-shaped cinnabar on the top of her head. The bright red marks contrasted strongly with her pale skin, making her look more and more like a ghost.

"Lord Yamagami, that's amazing!" Xia Beifeng lowered his head and looked at Yue Yao's angry expression, and said with a smile: "But it's a pity, we have a pair of divine treasures here." ”

As he said this, he glanced sideways at the sparrow beside him. Seeing that the sparrow didn't react, he shook the long knife in his hand twice. Showing off, he said to Yue Yao: "Look, Tiancong Cloud! ”

When the sparrow heard this, he turned his head away in disgust, staring at the tiny lines on the stone, and didn't bother to pay attention to the people around him.

At the same time, her foot crushed Yue Yao's shoulder twice.

A small sound came from Yue Yao's shoulder.

*****************************************************

Ye Baiyu sat on the rock and took two breaths. Look down at the hole beneath your feet.

The steady stream of "people" below continued to climb upward, completely ignoring the falling companions around them, just staring at Ye Baiyu above, mechanically moving their limbs, and crawling upwards ********.

When they climbed to the foot of Ye Baiyu, it was about half a meter. It's as if you've hit something, and even though you can keep waving your hands and trying to go up the rock, you can't move even the slightest distance.

It's as if there's a transparent barrier there.

So many "people" were just crowded there, and one by one they hit the barrier. When the surroundings are crowded, they don't even know how to give the latecomers a place.

Ye Baiyu arched one leg, one arm on his knee, and a cigarette between his fingers. The other leg was on the edge of the rock, the calf hung in the air, the toes swayed gently, and the "people" under the hook kept shaking their heads with his movements, like dogs that had seen bones......

A wisp of white smoke from his fingers rose straight into the air and then dissipated somewhere. The gray-white soot accumulated for a long time, trembling and refusing to leave its original position, but in the end, it still pursued the attraction of gravity and fell below.

The soot landed at the position of the transparent barrier at Ye Baiyu's feet, and then stopped falling and floated in the air.

There were scattered small piles of soot around the soot, which were constantly shaking and scattering from one piece to another under the constant impact of the "people" below.

Ye Baiyu's movements seemed leisurely, and there was even a little smile on his face. But the tip of his nose was dripping with a little sweat, and his bangs were sticking to his forehead one by one. As for the clothes on his body, they were already tightly attached to his body, and the color looked much darker, and I guess there was no place to dry.

And on the calf he was dangling in mid-air, only half of the trouser leg was left, and the remaining one was still tattered and wisps, swaying gently with his movements. And his exposed skin was evenly divided one by one, black blood oozed from the wound, and the skin that was still intact was abnormally bruised.

It's like being poisoned.

Even so, this person can still sit on the stone, look at the "people" who are constantly doing useless work under his feet, and hum a tune with great interest.

The "people" below kept banging their heads against the obstacles above their heads, making a "bang" sound, echoing in this cave, and listening to it was almost no different from the sound of the temple bell ringing.

After Ye Baiyu waited for the cigarette in his hand to burn out, he flicked the cigarette butt downward, then took out the cigarette case from his pocket and picked out another cigarette.

The people below were like crazy when the cigarette butt fell, desperately reaching for the cigarette butt.

They pushed and shoved each other, squeezing a few of their companions down from time to time.

Despite their efforts, the outstretched hand was always a little bit away from the cigarette butt.

It's like going to a museum when you go to see a small distance between your hands and the glass-protected artifacts, although you can see it, you can never touch it.

Ye Baiyu sighed and whistled below.

The invisible barrier in mid-air seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and the soot accumulated in mid-air fell downwards almost simultaneously, falling into the layers of "people" and disappearing.

Ye Baiyu withdrew his leg in time before the ash fell. He looked down at the group of people scrambling upwards, gritted his teeth, and stretched out his other hand in a downward motion.

The nearest "person" had already picked up the rock where Ye Baiyu was sitting with one hand, revealing half of his head.

There was a whistling sound in the air, as if something heavy had fallen from above.

The invisible heavy object smashed into the group of "people", smashing the "people" distributed on it without a trace in an instant. The force of the impact smashed the "people" who were trying to climb up back into the hole.

The "people" fell one after another, like dumplings, and disappeared in Ye Baiyu's sight "crackling".

The "people" in the cave disappeared cleanly, and only the marks of fingernails on the surrounding rock walls could prove that someone had climbed here with bare hands.

Ye Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief and flicked the cigarette in his hand.

A wisp of white smoke quickly rose from the top of the smoke and rose straight into the sky.

Ye Baiyu took a puff of cigarette, put down his scarred calf heavily, and looked down at the hole below.

Another wave of expressionless "people" reappeared below, crawling upwards quickly. Then they stopped half a meter below his feet and began to hit their heads against something above.

There was no pain or sorrow in the eyes of those people, not even any such emotions as malice or cruelty.

Some are simply fanatical, almost terrifying appetites that arise from hunger.

"When will it be over?" Ye Baiyu looked up at the glimmer of light cast above, spit out a puff of smoke rings, and sighed softly.
