Chapter 274: Seeking
Under the cover of night, one after another the flame knights fell in a pool of blood.
The doors of the inns all over the city were closed, and many people hid under the covers and shivered, nervously listening to the movement outside.
Although it was night, the news that a night demon had come to the Ghost Gate and was killing outside quickly spread throughout the city. The adventurers and caravans were uneasy, and the soldiers patrolling the streets were even more nervous, and no one dared to act alone after hearing the news, and they gathered together, but even this was inevitable doom.
After sweeping the whole city, killing all the lone flame knights, and not even finding a small group of troops, Hong Yuan began to set his sights on the large army that had gathered together. Like a hungry wolf walking in the dark, he suddenly rushes out of the darkness when he sees the right moment, kills a target and flies away, and then changes places to find the next prey. Only kill one prey at a time, but keep repeating, with great strength to repeatedly succeed, creating more and more panic.
Beware of the onslaught of snakes outside the city, beware of the revenge riots of adventurers and merchants, and now, beware of a sudden attack by a night demon, the soldiers are under unprecedented pressure, and some even collapse outright, ignoring the commander's orders to gallop their horses and try to return to the camp in the general's palace. When encountering such a guy, Hong Yuan sometimes raised his noble hand, and sometimes killed him in public, putting more pressure on the soldiers.
After another surprise attack, killing a small commander in the midst of the chaos, Hong Yuan suddenly raised his head.
In the night sky, snowflakes suddenly fell.
The Flame Knights recovered from their panic, some of them fought hard to kill the scorpions that rushed up, while others took advantage of the overwhelming number of people and rushed towards the flood abyss. Compared to the average patrol team, this group of flame knights was strong and strong, at least two or three hundred people.
"Little ones, the old monster is out of the hole, let's go!"
Hong Yuan smiled coldly, turned around and flew away and disappeared into the darkness, and the mighty tomb sword scorpion disappeared like a tide. After a while, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves sounded at the end of the street, and a large group of Chu family masters surrounded Chu Yannan and galloped wildly, and the masters were full of murderous spirits. It's a pity that Hong Yuan is gone.
The tomb scorpions scattered in all corners of the city are Hong Yuan's assistants and eyeliners, through these little scorpions, they know where they are safe and dangerous, and where there are lone flame knights;
In addition to the Scorpion Legion led by the Scorpion King, Hong Yuan also has a major assistant, that is, Zhao Xuemin.
When Hong Yuan was walking in the dark to hunt the Flame Knights and create a large area of panic, Zhao Xuemin lurked in the darkness and stared at the movements of the Ghost Gate General's Mansion, and the two met with snowflakes as a code. When the sky was full of snowflakes, Hong Yuan knew that Chu Yannan and Zhou Tiejun were starting to be unable to hold back and break the net.
Looking at the corpse of the little commander who fell to the ground, as well as the many flame knights who were making a commotion, Chu Yannan gritted his teeth. After hearing the horns of the soldiers calling for help, he quickly rushed over with 100,000 Chu family masters, but he was still a step too late, and said fiercely: "Damn! Go, catch me their leader!"
"Yes!"
The two Chu family disciples flew and jumped off the tall war horses, and soon, they grabbed the deputy captain of this team of flame knights. The latter recognized Chu Yannan, who was the leader, and knew that it was the distinguished guest of the great commander Zhou Tiejun, so he did not resist with interest, "Little Nawei, see Lord Chu." ”
"What does the murderer who killed your captain look like?" Chu Yannan asked.
"The Daredevil, a ...... , the terrifying Night Demon!"
Na Wei was frightened, and looked around as he spoke, as if he was worried that the flood would suddenly come out of the darkness when he returned, "At that time, we were patrolling this street with torches, and the captain was walking in the middle of us. Suddenly, the night demon appeared, rushed out of the darkness like a ghost, and directly slammed into the guards gathered around the captain, and then cut off the head of our captain with a single sword. That demon is terrifying, it seems to ......"
Chu Yannan suddenly spoke, interrupting the frightened Na Wei, "Shut up, the deity didn't ask you about the identity of the murderer, but asked him what he looked like, say!"
The two Chu family disciples secretly exerted their strength in unison, Na Wei suddenly felt that his two arms were about to be torn off, looked at Chu Yannan with an expressionless face, and reacted excitedly, "That night demon, don't ...... The murderer was dressed in black armor, with only a pair of eyes on his body and a pair of black horns on his head. Lord Chu, small ...... , the small one has absolutely nothing to hide, you can go and ask many soldiers and beg the adults to spare their lives. ”
"Hmph, pretending to be a night demon is just pretending to be a ghost, in addition to the strange costume, what other characteristics or abnormalities does the murderer have?" Chu Yannan asked again.
"No more. ”
Na Wei shook his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "By the way, when the murderer committed the murder, a lot of scorpions poured out of the darkness, and they bit people when they saw them, and I don't know if they happened to meet a group of scorpions passing by, or ......"
"A group of scorpions?" Chu Yannan's eyes flickered.
"Yes, a lot of scorpions, a lot of scorpions. Na Wei was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand why so many scorpions suddenly came, and in retrospect, he was a little shocked.
"Sure enough, it's him, that's right, it's that kid from Hong Yuan!"
Chu Yannan gritted his teeth, originally, he was just guessing, but now, it was finally determined that Hong Yuan was pretending to be a night demon and pretending to be a ghost, deliberately creating a large area of panic. But even if it is certain that Hong Yuan is pretending to be a ghost, people have already preconceived that it is a night demon who has come to the ghost gate, how to expose Hong Yuan's plan and persuade others?
Chu Yannan felt a headache and found that things were far more tricky than expected. When he was in a trance, he suddenly looked up at a tall building a hundred meters away, and there was a faint black shadow standing on the top of the building, holding a crossbow in his hand. The masters of the Chu family followed and looked over in unison, and their faces changed greatly.
"Be careful!"
"Form a formation, protect the head of the family, quickly!"
The disciples of the Chu family were well-trained, and quickly set up a formation to protect Chu Yannan, the head of the family, before they had time to set up a tight circular defensive array, a crossbow arrow roared with a piercing sound of breaking through the air, brushed Chu Yannan's scalp, penetrated the chest of a Chu family disciple standing behind him, and nailed him to the ground.
Hong Yuan didn't go far, he lurked in the darkness a hundred meters away and waited for the opportunity. It's a pity that the sharp crossbow arrow is slightly off, and Chu Yannan is also an old man who has experienced a hundred battles, and he avoided the key point in the moment of life and death.
"It's a pity, old fellow, you're in luck!"
Hong Yuan was a little regretful, glanced at Chu Yannan from a distance, turned around and left.
"Master, it's the Zhuxian crossbow of the Immortal Temple!" someone stepped forward and pulled out the crossbow arrow on the deceased and handed it to Chu Yannan.
"Chase, whoever cuts off that kid's head, the Zhuxian crossbow and the night dragon banner are his!"
Chu Yannan gave a sharp order, jumped off the war horse, rushed a few steps, jumped on the high roof, and stepped on the tiles to catch up. Behind him, the masters of the Chu family quickly followed, and a large group of black pressure followed Chu Yannan and chased after him. Compared to the Flame Knights patrolling the streets, these retinues of Chu Yannan are much more powerful, there are elite disciples of the Chu family, and there is no shortage of masters of the rivers and lakes who have been snare from the entire Divine Ghost Continent.
Ahead, about a hundred meters away, Hong Yuan glanced back and began to speed up after a hurried glance, running on the roofs of one house after another. Behind him, the masters of the Chu family chased after him.
After hunting for most of the night, Hong Yuan ushered in Chu Yannan, the behind-the-scenes commander, and also ushered in a real strong enemy. With Chu Yannan's cold-bloodedness and ferocity, once it falls into his hands, it is definitely worse than death!
