During the noon period, the sword cultivators meditated in their huts, condensing the sword qi contained in their bodies. The originally barren and barren Sword Valley became more and more silent and deep.
With a calm face, Bian Yao walked deeper along the familiar winding road, passing through the stones from time to time, large and small.
He frowned slightly, and tiptoed all the way forward, for fear of disturbing the cold atmosphere in the valley.
The valley road to the inside is semi-round, after walking for a while, the first doorless wooden house comes into view, and together with it comes into view is a tall cyan standing stone, and the four characters of "Sword Warrior Stone Heart" engraved on the stone surface are still very eye-catching.
Bian Yao quietly walked past the first wooden house, and continued to walk inside, and about every thirty zhang away, there was a wooden house without a door and a standing stone with inscriptions.
Outside the fifth wooden house, Bian Yao stopped beside the cyan standing stone for a short time, adjusted his mind slightly, but stepped into the house, standing quietly in front of the Pu sword that was inserted vertically into the ground.
Twilight Song was meditating on the futon with his eyes closed, when he noticed someone entering the house, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the visitor for a while, showing a puzzled look: "You picked this time to come to me, what's the matter?"
Bian Yao stared, stared at him without saying a word, and suddenly stepped around the sword, and sat down cross-legged a foot in front of it.
"Someone is going to kill you!" he said in a very low voice, his eyes darkening with melancholy.
Twilight couldn't help frowning, still looking at him coldly, but she didn't say a word.
"It's a secret, I overheard it. Don't ask how you heard it, you should know that my dreams are different from others, and there is something special about them. Bian Yao leaned forward slightly and explained in a low voice.
"Who?" said Twilight's expression froze slightly, and she was silent for a few breaths, and spat out a word.
"Patriarch of the Wood Clan. When Bian Yao said these four words, his voice was almost inaudible.
"It was someone from his Mu family who asked me to come here, why do you want to ...... now" Twilight Song suddenly stared, but before she could finish speaking, she fell silent again.
Bian Yao blinked, waited for a moment, and said: "Naturally, he won't do it himself, but he just gave Mu Qiyuan a killing order, and he wants to make your death an accident! ā
Twilight's face remained unchanged, and she remained silent, as if she hadn't heard him.
"Tomorrow I will also participate in the 'Hunting Death Test', and I will do my best to help you escape the pursuit of those hunters!" Bian Yao said seriously after a little contemplation, his eyes were very determined.
"Don't be distracted by me!" Twilight Song opened her lips slightly, and several cold glints flashed in her eyes, and said in an unusually cold voice, "If you want to kill me, the price paid by the Mu people will be far greater than he imagined!"
Hearing this, Bian Yao's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything, he could understand his friend's mood at this time and say something like that. If it weren't for the coincidence that he coincidentally learned about Mu Qiyuan's murder plot in advance, Twilight Song wouldn't have even had a glimmer of possible life!
The only useful thing he can do now is to figure out the best way to deal with it before tomorrow comes, so as to help his friend escape the murder set by Mu Qiyuan in the "Hunting Exam".
Bian Yao looked at his friend who was full of anger, and suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "There is something I almost forgot to tell you, Mu Wanyan has left the valley a few days ago, and I heard that she is returning to the place where the Mu family lives and cultivates. ā
Twilight's face changed suddenly, and there was a hint of sadness and disappointment in the depths of her eyes, and there was a faint and more complex emotional entanglement in it.
After a few breaths of silence, the complex light in his eyes finally turned into a wave of indifference.
Bian Yao noticed the change in his expression and said, "Don't think about it, from what I said that day, I can be sure that she didn't know about it! Now that I think about it, leaving the valley must have been her father's request, not her intention!"
Hearing these words, Twilight Song's expression was obviously a little relaxed, his gaze turned from cold to gloomy, and he lowered his head slightly, as if he was in deep thought.
After Bian Yao looked at his friend's series of reactions, he wanted to take out the leaf, but after thinking about it, he dispelled the idea again.
The top priority is to make sure that Twilight Song can escape from Tree County smoothly and avoid the murder! Too many mood swings and difficult knots are very likely to affect tomorrow's actions, so that gift should wait to avoid this impending killing opportunity.
"You don't have to worry too much! although they have planned first, and those hunters are not simple people, but since you and I have already known their plan in advance, what Mu Qiyuan has set up is no longer a mortal situation!"
Twilight Song slowly raised her head, turned her gaze to Bian Yao's face, and after pondering for a moment, she said lightly, "Listening to your words, it seems that I know a lot about that 'Hunting Death Test'!"
Speaking of which, although the director of the valley had issued a notice about the "Hunting Death Examination" earlier, the content was very brief. However, the children of the Mu Clan who were eligible to participate in the final examination were all late-stage dream maniacs and sword maniacs, who had lived and practiced in the valley for a long time, and some of them had even participated in the final examination. Through the communication on weekdays, all the children of the Mu clan in the valley have a considerable degree of understanding of this, and Mu Xiyou is naturally one of them.
Bian Yao's heart moved, took out two jars of spirit fruit wine from the space bag, put one of the jars on the ground and pushed it forward, and laughed softly: "I don't know much, but I know some details and rules, maybe I can use this to formulate a suitable countermeasure!"
Twilight Song was slightly stunned for a moment, reached out and carried the wine jar in front of him, lifted the lid, and raised his head to take a large sip of wine, and the haze on his face suddenly disappeared.
Bian Yao also took a few sips of the wine jar, then raised his sleeve to wipe the wine marks on his chin, and said: "According to the rules of the 'Hunting Death Test', the fugitives will be the first to act, and the hunters will wait in place for a moment before they start to chase. ā
"As far as I know, the Wood people seem to have a tracking technique, and when they are only a moment ahead, they may not be able to run out of the tracking range. Twilight frowned, expressing her worries.
"That's right, so you need to run in a straight line as much as possible, since you can't get rid of the tracking, then escape from this forest in the shortest time, as long as you leave the territory of Shuxian, the chances of survival will be much greater. After saying this, Bian Yao raised the wine jar and took a few sips, but after putting down the wine jar, his eyebrows suddenly frowned, and he said in a low voice: "With the location of the valley, if you want to run out of the forest of Shuxian County, I am afraid it will take three days no matter how fast it is." Coupled with environmental factors, the speed of running is bound to be limited, so that the hunters will definitely catch up, and it may be difficult to avoid it!"
In fact, what Bian Yao cared about most was what kind of instructions the head of the valley would give to those hunters? If Mu Qiyuan ordered all the hunters to track down and kill Twilight Song, then the latter would have no chance at all!
Bian Yao held the wine jar in his arms, and after pondering for a while, he shook his head and denied the desperate speculation. He suddenly leaned his face forward slightly, and analyzed ghostly: "Since Mu Qiyuan wants to create an accident, it is impossible to do it too obviously, this is an opportunity! Although those hunters are all peak dream maniacs, but to hunt a sword cultivator like you, at least two hunters with combat experience are needed to besiege you! This must be very clear in their hearts, for the sake of safety, the hunters who are chasing you will naturally go in groups, and I estimate that there will be three to four people." ā
Twilight listened to him calmly, and although she didn't see the slightest nervousness or uneasiness, she didn't say a word, just looked up and drank, her expression surprisingly cold and quiet.
For a while, only the sound of "grunting" was heard in the cabin, and the aroma of wine did not stop.
"In fact, the most troublesome thing is the restriction of the rules, the 'hunter' side can chase in a group, while the 'fugitive' is only allowed to act alone, and it is strictly forbidden to go together. Bian Yao raised the wine jar and took a big sip, and continued: "It seems that there is no other way, when the time comes, I can only choose to follow closely behind you, as long as we keep a certain distance, there should be no big problem." If you are entangled by hunters, I will go up to your aid. ā
"Things can't be as easy and smooth as you think, and since the rules strictly prohibit fugitives from partnering, they will not be allowed to join forces against hunters. As soon as you show up to help me, they should be aware of the problem, and if you involve those teachers, the problem will be even more problematic!"
"When the time comes, I don't have to spare my hands on those hunters anyway. I've heard that the instructors will only wander around the forest, secretly exercising the responsibility of observation and supervision, and will not follow a certain participant!"
Twilight Song raised her hand and patted the wine jar gently, suddenly raised her neck and drank the remaining wine in the jar in one go, and then said in a very deep voice, in a joking tone: "You are so iron-hearted to help me, when the truth is discovered by the Mu people, you don't have to worry about them killing you!"
Bian Yao slowly put down the wine jar, laughed a few times, and whispered: "If you move to kill, you will move to kill!" Anyway, I'm a little tired of staying in this broken valley, it's better to live happily outside, and I'll run away with you as a big deal." ā
Hearing this, Twilight Song was silent, and the corners of her mouth inexplicably revealed a hint of a vague smile.
Time is like a thief, secretly carrying the fragrance of wine, and flowing away quietly.
About half an hour later, Bian Yao walked out of the cabin, shook his slightly drunk head, and left Sword Valley with brisk steps.
In the third doorless wooden house, the wooden owl stood sideways at the entrance of the house, his face was cold, he peeped at the distant back, his eyebrows slanted up, his eyes flickering.
It's still early, two hours before it gets dark.
There was silence in the East Valley, because the children of the Mu Clan who lived here were engaged in the afternoon battle and cultivation in the West Valley, and had not yet returned.
Bian Yao slowly climbed to the top of the building, entered his house, lay down on the bed, and stared at the roof start.
Time passed silently.
Before you know it, the sky is dark.
Gradually, human voices sounded in the valley, which was the prelude to the arrival of night.
