Chapter 299: Escape
It's not been a day or two since the demon wants to use us to do things. So I'm not surprised by the current result, I'm just a little curious about what he plans to do with us.
I said to the demon, "It's all at this juncture, just tell us the truth, what are you going to do to us?" β
Demon Dao looked at us and said, "I can't tell you yet. You have a lot of eyes, and if you know too much, you will inevitably calculate me, so it is better to keep you in the dark. In that case, you can only follow me. β
I've seen quite a few people who use intrigue and trickery against others. But it's really rare to do it so obviously like the Demon Dao.
We started in the morning and walked step by step along the demon road. Basically, where to go in the middle of nowhere. By noon, there was no one left.
My mouth was dry as I walked under the scorching sun, and I couldn't help but ask the demon, "At least you should tell us where you want to take us." β
Demon Dao said very coldly: "You don't have to ask more, you will understand after two more days." β
I gasped: "Two more days to go?" Do you want to go through it step by step? β
Demon Dao nodded.
Several of us were controlled by him, all of us were depressed and helpless. I had to endure it and move forward step by step.
At first, we complained to each other and talked about trying to escape. But all the way down. By the time the next night came, we didn't have that mind anymore.
We were tired and wanted to stop and rest for a while, but the demon road wouldn't allow it. We were all sleepy, shaking our heads and walking. If it weren't for the rope to practice in a string, we would have lost it a long time ago.
Wushuang walked behind me at the beginning. She threw herself forward, hitting my back with her head every now and then. Later, she simply arched her head on my back and slept as she walked. In the middle of the night, she simply asked me to carry her on my back.
I'm tired enough, but nowhere near as bad. I couldn't help but beg her, but I agreed.
Wushuang was lying on my back, and his hair was pouring into my neck, and it was very itchy. I reached out to scratch. But at this time, Wushuang, who was originally asleep, spoke.
She whispered in my ear, "I'll untie the rope from your hand, you run quickly." β
I shook my head gently: "Although I have the strength to carry you now, I am also tired enough to run far." β
Wushuang hated iron and steel and quietly twisted the flesh on my body, and I snorted in pain. She said: "If you can't run, you have to run, there has to be someone to report it." Find a way to tell my mom and let her save us. β
The two of us spoke in a very slight voice, and as I spoke, I observed the reaction of the demon road, but fortunately, he did not behave in any unusual way.
I whispered to Wushuang, "How do I find your mother?" Are there any codes or something? β
Wushuang shook his head: "I don't know." β
Then, she looked at the peachwood sword in my arms: "Paper Zha Wu once made a blood pact with you. Though you came out of the underworld, your blood pact was lifted. However, there should be a little bit of induction. β
I nodded, "I know how." β
At this time, I felt that Wushuang had fumbled to untie the rope from my body.
I looked back at Wushuang awkwardly: "I'll help you untie it too, let's run together." β
Wushuang shook his head: "No." Now I'm lying on your back, so the demon can't see anything. If my rope is also untied, it will definitely be discovered by the demon path soon. When the time comes, none of us will want to run. β
I sighed, and could only comfort myself: "Mrs. Zhang's ability is extraordinary, and with the help of Yincha, it must be no problem." β
We followed the demon path step by step, looking for an opportunity to escape along the way. Now I have the thought of running away, and I don't feel sleepy anymore.
After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of waterβ΅ and after a few steps, I noticed a small river in front of me, which was not large, but the current was strong.
Wushuang whispered in my ear, "Here's your chance." β
I nodded and didn't speak.
The demon road looked at the night and didn't seem to find the bridge, so he beckoned us: "Go forward, and if you see a narrow place, you can go over." β
Wushuang suddenly whispered, "Go." Then she jerked off my back. At the same time, he pushed me hard.
I plopped and fell into the river. With the help of the current, it quickly floated into the distance.
The demon snorted and threw over a rope, as if trying to catch me. The rope seemed to come alive and tied around my feet and neck.
I felt my body thump, and then the rope was pulled tight.
Seeing that the demon road is about to catch up. I didn't dare to slack off, and struggled to draw my peachwood sword and slash at the rope with all my might.
As I splashed in the water, the water splashed and blurred my vision.
In the haze, I felt my body send away. Then it quickly drifted off into the distance. It seems that the rope was cut by me.
I heard the voices of the demon and the thin priest, and the two of them seemed to be about to catch up. However, I have already floated out more than ten meters.
The shouts of the demon road became smaller and smaller, and he saw that he couldn't catch up.
I emerged from the river. Wipe the drops of water from your face and look back.
The demon path did not catch up. Behind is the quiet night. I climbed up from the river, tired. Lie on your back on the ground.
There is not a single star in the sky. It's dark and gloomy. The night breeze blew on the wet body, which was a little cool.
I would love to hide myself in the grass and sleep peacefully. But I can't.
I struggled to sit up, taking advantage of the darkness, and cut my finger with my mahogany sword.
I want to find out Old Man Wu.
Blood dripped down the peachwood sword. Paper Zha Wu did not appear.
Now I panicked. I thought to myself: "Didn't Wushuang tell me yesterday that Paper Zha Wu was ordered to secretly watch us?" Why can't it be poured out now? Could it be that he is lazy? Or was he even arrested? β
Reluctantly, I picked up the peachwood sword again, and then slashed deeply in my hand.
Blood gushed out, staining the peachwood sword red in half. At this time, a human head finally came out of the water. He cautiously asked, "Xu You?" β
I nodded and said, "yes, it's me." Old man Wu, when you become a judge, you don't care about old friends? Let's go, hurry up and follow me to save people. β
I said as I reached for him.
But Old Man Wu actually withdrew his hand back, and said with some embarrassment: "Xu You, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle." β
I looked at him in some surprise: "What do you mean?" Couldn't it be done? β
"The situation in the underworld is very bad now. It's not easy for us to do things anymore. β
I nervously asked, "Is something wrong with my master?" The ghost of the wizards? He's back again? β
Paper Zawu shook his head: "That's not true. Your master is very good, the lord of the realm, who rules thousands of yin and is worshipped by ten thousand ghosts. It's just that I think he's a little too fair. I don't seem to like an old friend of mine anymore. β
I waved my hand anxiously: "Now is not the time to talk about this, let me ask you, how many people can you find now?" Wushuang let the demon path kidnap him. β
Paper Zha Wu said disheartenedly: "How many people have you found?" The last time Wushuang died in an accident. I sent her back to Yang, but Zhang Yuan found out and said that I was bad at the rules. Punish me for two hours in the Infernal Hell. In these two hours, the skin fell off three times. Now I can't help you. Even if you have this mind, you don't have the ability. β
I stomped my foot anxiously: "What can I do?" β
Paper Zha Wu thought for a while and said, "Don't worry. In this way, I will go back and tell Mrs. Zhang and ask her to think of a way. β
I sighed: "That's it, you can go quickly." β
Paper Zawu agreed, and when he turned around, he was about to dive back to the bottom again. But before leaving, he took a look at my body and asked strangely, "Xu You, your body has suddenly grown a lot, what's wrong?" Recently, I have been practicing more diligently. β
I shook my head: "It's hard to say. To be exact, this body is not mine. β
Paper Zha Wu looked at me thoughtfully: "This body is not yours?" So why does it look exactly like you? Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense. I will report to Mrs. Zhang in the underworld. Don't go too far, wait for me by the water. β
