Chapter 408: Nowhere to Run
The sky was getting brighter, but the forest was still dark, and there were towering trees everywhere.
The rain has been falling, the ground is getting more and more muddy, flash floods have broken out in many places, and there are also places with thick silt, and you can not get out if you step on it.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the autumn rain was falling endlessly. Looking down from the sky, there is a person running wildly in the deep mountains and old forests, his figure disappearing from time to time, followed by a large group of Hualong Empire masters;
There is a lot of stagnant water on the ground, and the water splashes when you step on it, and there are five or six meters in one step;
Then, the body jumped high, dodged a flying knife that flickered with cold light, and flew down on a large tree, and with a strong kick on the trunk of the tree, the body swept out and suddenly changed direction, flying forward to the left, narrowly avoiding a whizzing crossbow arrow.
Hong Yuan's movements were done in one go, running wildly while dodging the killing moves of the chasing soldiers behind him, there were several more wounds on his body, and the blood looked a little scary, but they were all skin injuries and did not hurt the muscles and bones.
Under the leadership of Zilong Hou Ji Liuyue, the masters of the Hualong Empire made all their moves, some went around to the front to intercept, and some people threw sharp throwing knives or shot crossbow arrows while chasing.
As long as he delayed the time slightly, or stopped Hong Yuan to slow him down, Hong Yuan would be dead. However, to people's surprise, Hong Yuan ran all the way to the endurance is amazing, even if he is accidentally hit by an arrow, his speed still does not decrease, like an iron warrior who will never get tired, with inexhaustible strength in his body.
From last night to now, five or six hours have passed since Hong Yuan kidnapped the dragon skin war drum. The mountains and forests were already rugged and difficult to walk, and they braved the heavy rain to run all the way down, and many masters couldn't bear it, and gradually fell behind. Not to mention the ordinary dragon blood warriors, they can't keep up at all, there are a huge number of them, but they are helpless, they can only launch a dragnet chase far behind, not giving Hong Yuan a chance to break through quietly.
Compared with ordinary people, Ji Liuyue and the others have a giant dragon to travel, and they have been following closely behind Hong Yuan to wait for work. Even, on the orders of Ji Liuyue, he deliberately kept a certain distance, waiting for Hong Yuan's physical strength to run out before rushing up. This wait was five or six hours, from midnight to dawn. Slowly, there were fewer and fewer masters who followed behind Hong Yuan, except for a few big masters such as the Imperial Dynasty, there were only more than three hundred large and small military marquis riding giant dragons. In the eyes of the masters, Hong Yuan's cultivation is not high, but his super perseverance, will, and endurance surprised and shocked Ji Liuyue.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Hong Yuan was still rushing ahead, but slowly his steps began to become heavy. No matter how majestic the dragon power in the body is, it gradually can't keep up with the huge consumption. Once the physical strength is exhausted, it is absolutely at the mercy of slaughter, and it is better to die than to die in the hands of the dragon-blood legion.
Hong Yuan's heart became heavier and heavier, and from time to time he gritted his teeth and turned around to shoot sharp crossbow arrows, launching a fierce counterattack while running wildly. The power of the Zhuxian crossbow is also extraordinary, shooting and killing many masters of the Hualong Empire along the way, and some people even fell from the air with the dragon under their crotch shot. The pursuers were also worried about Hong Yuan's counterattack, and Hong Yuan gave full play to his advantages with the help of dense forests and terrain. It's a pity that there are too many chasing soldiers to kill.
Behind him, looking at Hong Yuan's back from time to time, Ji Liuyue, who was sitting on the back of Zilong, was expressionless, but her eyes were getting colder and colder.
After climbing over a high mountain again, seeing that Hong Yuan was still running, the poisonous dragon Hou Ouyang Bi really couldn't hold it back, and rode the poisonous dragon under his crotch to speed up and rush up to keep pace with Ji Liuyue, "Your Royal Highness Princess, let me fight, Hong Yuan's heavy pace is starting to be unbearable." ”
"No, it's not there yet!"
Ji Liuyue's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said coldly: "The dragon skin war drum must be taken back, but don't want a cold corpse, catch me alive." I heard that this kid Hong Yuan has a unique supernatural power, the Dharma body has three heads and six arms, and he is not a disciple of Buddhism but has great supernatural powers, I want to see what is the difference between him and ordinary people!"
Ji Liuyue's eyes were sharp and cold, originally, she was so angry that she had to kill, and issued a killing order. Catching up all the way, seeing that Hong Yuan was so brave, he had other ideas and ordered to be caught alive.
The Hualong Empire's large-scale southward move this time is to destroy the alliance in one go, and it is a war to destroy the country. Hong Yuan is known as the unmet genius of the alliance for a thousand years and the youngest night dragon general in the history of the alliance, and he is the young hero in the hearts of the alliance soldiers.
Ji Liuyue was confident and deliberately kept a distance from Hong Yuan, like an experienced hunter patiently chasing his injured prey, quietly waiting for the last opportunity. The people who were sent to harass and intercept Hong Yuan were ordinary followers, and the real masters had not yet made a move.
"Yes, yes!"
Ouyang Bi bowed down to receive the order, in the past, he was invincible in the Dragon Blood Legion, but he didn't dare to say a word in front of Ji Liuyue, and followed honestly. Looking at Hong Yuan's back from a distance, his eyes were hideous and resentful, and the blood in his body seemed to be burning with a torch, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't kill Hong Yuan with his own hands.
In the battle of the Black Dragon River, he was crushed by Hong Yuan in all directions and lost completely. If it weren't for the great affection of the elders, he would have been disposed of by the commander of the Dragon Blood Legion by Yan Kang's military law, and he escaped by luck with the relationship of his family, and with the guidance and help of the masters, he swallowed the Dragon Pill to break through the bottleneck, broke through from the late stage of the Linghai Realm to the peak of the Linghai Realm, and obtained a chance to atone for his sins.
After killing Hong Yuan and regaining the dragon skin war drum, he can continue to be the commander of the poisonous dragon camp, and he is still a high-ranking poisonous dragon candidate; if the mission fails, he will be tied up and escorted back to Hualong City, waiting for the Hualong Emperor to personally send him down. When the time comes, not only will the family be humiliated, but he will also be more than lucky, and no one will be able to intercede with Emperor Hualong for him.
Whether it was for official business or personal vendetta, Ouyang Bi couldn't wait to kill Hong Yuan with his own hands, longing for a shot to pierce the latter's chest and unscrew off his head, and he couldn't wait to do it. Under Ji Liuyue's order, he had to endure it forcibly, and his gaze at Hong Yuan became even more resentful.
Hong Yuan, who was running wildly in front, also sensed the resentful gaze of Ouyang Bi, the poisonous dragon Hou, and glanced back hurriedly as he ran, his heart becoming heavier and heavier.
"This won't work, if you can't get rid of these pursuers, it won't be long before you run out of dragon power in your body!"
"Are you really going to die here today?"
Hong Yuan's heavy heart was cold in his hands and feet, which was a sign that he had overdrawn his physical strength and was about to run out of oil.
After going through so many tribulations and turmoil after walking out of Shattered Leaf City, Hong Yuan became more and more experienced, and of course he understood how dangerous the situation was now, and he also knew that the pursuers were deliberately draining their physical strength. Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done to understand what is going on. It's no problem to take the time to release cold arrows to fight back, stop and fight head-on is definitely looking for death, continue to escape, and after your physical strength is exhausted, it will be the same death!
The Tenglong Mountain Range is very large, stretching for thousands of miles between the Hualong Empire and the Alliance, and I don't know how many indigenous tribes and beasts thrive here, but for Hong Yuan, although the Tenglong Mountain Range is large, there is no place for him, and death is getting closer and closer, and there is nowhere to escape.
