Chapter 35: Distress
The gentle evening breeze blows through the heat of midsummer and brings a hint of coolness.
The trio hiked through a tree-lined mountain trail and saw an empty valley full of flowers and plants, full of life and prosperity.
But in the air, there seemed to be a hint of restlessness that made people feel a little uneasy.
Almost at the same time, Tang Ruyan and Guo Jing stopped and glanced at each other, proving the guess in their hearts, there was a murderous aura nearby, yes, a murderous aura! Xiaohu didn't notice it at all, and hit Guo Jing who suddenly stopped, and suddenly felt that his eyes were full of stars, his nose was sour, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Hey-" Before the word could be spoken, Guo Jingyan quickly clicked on the acupoint, and he could only look at the two of them and ask what was going on with his eyes.
Tang Ruyan made a silent gesture, pointed to a raised hillock not far away, and made a 'killing' movement with his hand on his neck, Xiaohu looked at the hillock, nodded after understanding the reason, and Tang Ruyan unlocked her acupoint.
In the past two days with Guo Jing, the first thing she learned was to seal the acupoint, as long as the action was fast enough, this was undoubtedly the best way to control the enemy.
Wiping away the tears in his eyes, Xiaohu glared at Guo Jing unwillingly, Guo Jing ignored it, and squatted down to hide, Tang Ruyan and Xiaohu also squatted down, looking at the inconspicuous but hidden murderous hill not far away.
"It seems that my sister's tactics have been misguided, and the enemy has already laid an ambush under the mountain where we must pass, just waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net." Xiao Hu muttered quietly while looking into the distance, and reached out to grope around his body for a while, took out a small bottle and poured three pills in his hand, ate one for himself, and stretched out his hand in front of the two.
Tang Ruyan glanced at it, picked up one of them and ate it without asking too much, Guo Jing's blocking hand hadn't even stretched out, "Master, you just ate it like this?" Who knows if this girl is friend or foe, in case she has the intention to harm you-"
"Bah, you're that kind of villain. Miss Ben is a fair and upright person, so she can't do that despicable and obscene thing. β
"It's hard to say."
"You-okay, you don't eat it, but I tell you not to regret it, Miss Ben will release poison to make them lose without a fight, the poison doesn't have eyes, so poisonous that you don't say Miss Ben didn't notify you in advance." Xiao Hu snorted and put away the pill in his hand.
Enemies? Tang Ruyan glanced at the two of them helplessly, took the pill from Xiaohu's hand and handed it to Guo Jing, "Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, since I have chosen you, I completely believe in you, you two are the people I trust the most." Of course, it is not excluded that I have lost my eyes, so I will accept my fate. β
"Sister!"
"Master!"
"Don't say polite words, I don't like it the most." Tang Ruyan said softly, "Guo Jing." β
Guo Jing took the pill from Tang Ruyan's hand, put it into his mouth without hesitation, turned his head and continued to stare into the distance, but muttered in his mouth: "For the sake of the master's face, I will believe you once." β
"You-" Xiaohu was angry, and just about to say something, Tang Ruyan quickly reached out and dragged her, Xiaohu pouted, but had to be silenced.
"Da-da-da-da." The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and an ordinary carriage appeared on the path in the distance, galloping towards them.
The murderous aura instantly became thick, and the two glanced at each other, "It turns out that this is the real goal." β
Xiaohu didn't understand, only saw that the carriage was getting closer and closer to them, "It's really unfortunate, I don't know if those people will kill innocents indiscriminately." Sister, should we help them? β
Tang Ruyan was silent, and Guo Jing rolled his eyes helplessly.
"What's wrong?" Xiaohu is still puzzled.
"Just keep your mouth shut and watch, and you'll understand in a moment." Guo Jing finally said impatiently, and was immediately met with angry eyes from Xiaohu, but he didn't speak, only thinking about the question she asked just now, whether they would be killed! Looking at the galloping carriage, Xiaohu's eyes were full of worry.
She can poison, but she also has to control her distance, and it is clear that she can't do it at such a distance.
As the carriage got closer and closer, you could clearly see the coachman sitting in front, his body swaying in an orderly manner with the movement of the carriage, wearing a thick coat of black coarse cloth and a hat on his head, covering his entire face.
"Strange." Guo Jing said sullenly.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ruyan asked softly, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt weird.
Guo Jing stared at the carriage, which was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was about to reach the place of the hill.
"Something is wrong!" Guo Jing exclaimed, "Get down quickly, that coachman is a dummy, and he is in danger." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to suppress the two people beside her, Tang Ruyan reacted very quickly, and after Guo Jing mentioned that the coachman was a dummy, she guessed a thing or two.
With quick thinking and quick reaction, Tang Ruyan has quickly knocked Xiaohu to the ground and hid behind a tall tree, and Guo Jing also rolled down behind a big tree next to him.
With a loud bang, the carriage exploded near the hillock, and debris flew out like a hidden weapon, hitting the man in black who was flying out from behind the hillock and preparing to act.
The three people hiding behind the big tree were dumbfounded.
Tang Ruyan frowned, she didn't expect that there would be such an advanced weapon as a bomb here, but she underestimated this world. "Guo Jing, is that bomb very common?"
Bomb! Guo Jing looked at Tang Ruyan suspiciously.
Tang Ruyan frowned, and from Guo Jing's eyes, she saw doubts, okay, maybe this world is not called a bomb. "That's what just exploded, is it used often?"
Guo Jing was still puzzled, "Didn't the explosion of the carriage just now be driven by internal forces?" β
Oh! Tang Ruyan almost fainted, how could she ignore the internal force? Butβthe surrounding area is so empty, from the place where the carriage appeared to the location of the hillock, more than a kilometer by sight, how can the divine have such a strong internal force? "In your opinion, who would have such a strong internal force?"
Looking at the position of the carriage, Guo Jing thought for a while, and replied very firmly: "At such a long distance, it can use internal force to make the carriage burst, and it has such great power, no one has been able to do it so far." β
No one can do it?!
What does this mean? "That means it's impossible." Tang Ruyan quickly combed Guo Jing's words in his mind, as he said, no one in this world has such a strong internal force, and according to her observations, it is obviously the bomb that causes such a powerful power.
The smell of gunpowder smoke wafted in the air.
That's right, definitely the bomb! Tang Ruyan can be sure of his guess, but what problem does the appearance of something that should not appear in this world illustrate? Could it be that someone, like her, has crossed into this world from the high-tech era!
Tang Ruyan frowned tightly, his eyes stared at the place where the carriage exploded in front, although the power of the bomb was powerful, it only injured the people who rushed to the front, and the people behind at most had their ears roaring.
"Master, be careful." An exclamation sounded, and the next moment, Tang Ruyan and Xiaohu's bodies were picked up, it was Guo Jing, he was carrying one in one hand, kicked under his feet, and quickly jumped up into the air, with the help of the strength on his feet, his body kept rising up.
Tang Ruyan came back to his senses, only to see that there were many more black-clothed people around him, all holding weapons and surrounding the three of them, and the place where they were hiding just now was full of arrow feathers, it is conceivable that if it weren't for Guo Jing's quick reaction, those arrow feathers would be enough to stab their bodies into a hornet's nest.
It turned out that there were ambushes all around, or were they too careless, so many people didn't even notice it.
"Xiaohu, where is your secret weapon?" Guo Jing shouted angrily, calling back the small lake that was still in the fugue.
Guo Jing's angry voice successfully recalled Xiaohu's fugue, and he hurriedly raised his hand and waved it into the air, and a stream of pink powdery objects scattered in all directions, blurring the surrounding vision, Guo Jing quickly pulled the two of them to the ground, "Run." β
The three of them quickly ran towards the woods where they came, the open land must not go, it was a self-defeating road, just the three of them, they could only outwit if they couldn't fight hard, so the best place to hide was the best place.
Of course, if they had the ability to be a prophet of the unknown, they would not think so.
"What now?" Xiaohu shrank between the two of them, looked at Tang Ruyan and then at Guo Jing, his eyes were full of melancholy, his hand unconsciously stretched out to his waist, he really regretted not preparing more medicine powder, regretting it, regretting it, but as a miracle doctor, she knew very well that there was no regret medicine in this world.
On the way of the three of them, there were no less than hundreds of people in black, all holding weapons, looking at the three of them with disdain in their eyes, as if looking at three small animals at their fingertips. γ
Well, well, that's true.
The hundreds of men in black were not terrible, what was terrible was the web woven with black thread in front of them. Tang Ruyan knows this thing, isn't it Black King Kong? Moreover, under the manipulation of those hundreds of people, Black King Kong was growing wildly at the speed of his eyes, and soon, an arc was formed, blocking the way of the three of them.
"Black King Kong!" Guo Jing's tone was full of surprise. In a word, Xiaohu's heart became even more frightened, and he pulled Tang Ruyan's arm, completely losing his opinion.
"Take it one step at a time." Tang Ruyan looked at the scene in front of him and replied calmly. Her belief is that there is nothing impossible, even if it is the earth, as long as she is given a fulcrum, she can pry it up.
"Oh!" Xiaohu replied sullenly, although she was stunned when she looked at the people in front of her and the black net that was constantly growing, Tang Ruyan's words unintentionally became a reassuring pill, which made her anxious heart gradually settle down. "I believe in my sister."
Tang Ruyan smiled, handed Guo Jing a look, the two of them grabbed Xiaohu's arm respectively, and quickly stepped back, Black King Kong They can't fight, even if the dagger in Tang Ruyan's hand can break a hole, but there are hundreds of enemies waiting for them behind the hole.
"Xiaohu, poison." Tang Ruyan reminded, Xiaohu hurriedly let go, with the help of the wind brought by the flight, the powder floated towards those black-clothed people again, some fell and some continued to catch up.
Tang Ruyan smacked his tongue, it was really a big deal, in order to deal with the enemy, he was willing to spend so much, presumably that person was worth a lot of money. Is it her? I intuitively felt that these people should not be coming for her, and the carriage that exploded before was obviously made by their enemies, but-these black-clothed people and Black King Kong were obviously the people who besieged her and Jiang Ruixuan last time.
