Chapter 53: Escape
In the dark of the night, it was impossible to discern the road ahead.
Bian Yao's doppelganger ran south and disappeared not long ago, and the main body that was sitting under the tree in the forest hurriedly ran out of the forest as soon as he opened his eyes.
In the case of not being familiar with the environment, Bian Yao knew that he could not run from east to west, so he could only choose a certain direction to run, and the farther away the better. So he went all the way north and ran desperately!
If he is chased or caught, he will definitely have no way to die!
Fortunately, in the wilderness here, although there are many deep bushes and trees, there are very few ravines. With his quick body and quick reactions, he was not much hindered.
In this way, about half an hour passed. Miraculously rose in the night sky, a curved moon, and the faint moonlight diluted the night a lot.
The scenery in front of him could already vaguely see the general outline, Bian Yao was overjoyed, and immediately quickened his pace and walked in the field.
However, less than two miles away, he suddenly became alert!
"Quack~" In the night sky not far away, a crow suddenly sounded.
Bian Yao knew that this night crow was a little strange, and thought that he might have been discovered, so he couldn't help but increase the stride under his feet.
For the rest of the day, the strange night crow flew above Bian Yao's head, making a non-stop cry, much to his annoyance and uneasiness.
After a while, Bian Yao suddenly noticed that there was a dark shadow behind him, which was rapidly approaching him. There's no doubt that thanks to the damned night crow above his head, the pursuers have found themselves!
Bian Yao seemed to have a mess in his heart, and he rushed forward. He didn't dare to stop and fight against the comers, and at this critical juncture of escaping for his life, he couldn't delay for a moment, who knew how many pursuers would follow him.
Judging by speed alone, the other party's cultivation realm is definitely above his own. He was anxiously thinking about how to get rid of the pursuers behind him, so that it wouldn't be long before the other party could catch up with him.
Seeing the black shadow behind him chasing closer and closer, Bian Yao suddenly ran towards a tall weed in front of him, and disappeared into it in a blink of an eye.
"Whoosh~", in the blink of an eye, Bian Yao's figure rushed out from the deep bush and suddenly galloped westward.
"Quack~" The night crow followed the turn and flew westward. Looking at the black shadow behind him, he turned around without hesitation and chased the night crow westward.
Bian Yao ran westward at a high speed, about seven or eight miles away, and saw that the pursuers had narrowed the distance again, and it would not take long to catch up. Suddenly, he threw himself into the ditch in front of him and fell down.
After a few breaths, the pursuer was already in front of the ditch. But in the bleak moonlight, the dry ravines were empty. The pursuer jumped into the ditch, searched the vicinity carefully, and found no place to hide, so he was stunned at the bottom of the ditch.
Night crows hovered and fluttered in the sky, croaking and croaking.
In the weeds more than three feet high, Bian Yao suddenly opened his eyes, and his figure suddenly jumped forward, continuing to run north.
However, half an hour later, Bian Yao had to stop his hurried footsteps.
A large river about fifty or sixty zhang wide appeared in front of me, and the river extended out in an east-west direction, as if it had no end.
Bian Yao looked blankly at the wide river blocking in front of him, and the strange light on the other side of the river, and his whole little face was tense.
"Quack~" The extremely unpleasant voice came from behind him again, far away.
"It's so ugly!" Bian Yao scolded viciously, and then sat down on the ground.
"Fortunately, I have a lot of spiritual power, but I haven't tried it yet, and I don't know if this will work. The dream clone looked at the body sitting upright on the ground, and muttered to himself.
Looking back at the approaching night crows, and the rapidly approaching black shadows, Bian Yao's dream clone picked up his body and jumped off the river bank.
Under the silver moon, the surface of the river shimmers.
A slightly emaciated figure tread the water, moving quickly towards the other side of the river.
After a dozen breaths, the pursuer stood on the bank of the river, staring at the figure that disappeared into the mist on the other side, and gradually frowned.
And when the crow flew above the river, it seemed to be lost, flapping its wings and flying from place to place, and from time to time it made an unusual call, as if it was terrified of the dim light on the other side of the river.
Sensing the crow's anomaly, the pursuer suddenly let out a strange whistle from his mouth, and his body slowly retreated.
After hearing the whistle, the night crow fluttering above the river, as if guided by it, flew back smoothly.
Without a pause, the whistle in the pursuer's mouth changed, and he led the night crow back in the direction it had been coming from.
――――――
In the courtyard of the house, the middle-aged man lay motionless on the ground, motionless, and seemed to be unconscious.
The blue-faced man stood beside him stunned with a luminous stone in his hand, and there was a man in a military uniform beside him, with a crow squatting on his shoulder.
"Young Master, hurry up and devour it! while he is still breathless, the dream has not disappeared. Steward Wang withdrew his fingers from the bottom of the middle-aged man's nose and spoke.
The man in yellow sneered and didn't speak, then walked to a stone platform next to him and sat down slowly.
Half a moment later, the middle-aged man's body suddenly twitched a few times, and a painful snort came out of his mouth, and then he calmed down.
The man in yellow suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with displeasure on his face.
"Gone?" asked the old man standing on the side, who was also known as Uncle Xu in the man's mouth.
"I swallowed only a small half and disappeared. The yellow-clothed man's tone was emotionless, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head to the blue-faced man and asked, "What about the other one?" I seem to remember that you said that you saw him go south?"
"The south must have been an illusion on the part of the young man, and in fact he might have spared half a circle and fled in the opposite direction, or he could have gone east or west. From what I observed along the way, he was very cautious. Uncle Xu said slowly.
"Quack~" A crow cries came from the sky above the north.
After a few breaths, a man in military uniform rushed into the courtyard and walked in front of the man in yellow in a few steps.
"Young Master~!, he fled to the other side of the 'Ghost River'. The man in the military uniform gasped.
"Swim over?" Xu Bo suddenly asked.
"No, it looks like I'm running over the water. The man in the military uniform paused for a moment before replying.
"Impossible! Even I can't tread water, how can he, an early dreamwalker, run on the water?" said Xu Bo loudly.
"But I'm ......" The man in military uniform lowered his voice, and just wanted to defend himself, but was suddenly interrupted by the man in yellow.
"Alright, you said he went to the other side of the ghost river, can you be sure you can see clearly?"
"Yes! The Night Raven and I kept chasing him north. I saw him jump into the ghost river from a distance, and when I reached the riverbank, I saw him on the other side of the river. The man in the military uniform replied with great certainty.
The man in yellow had a cold face, and finally looked at the man in white shirt beside him, and said, "Manager Wang, you go back to the City Lord's Mansion and tell the old man about this, I think he will help find a way." After all, I'm his son, and if something really happens, he can't leave it alone!"
"Young Master, what are you going to do?" asked Steward Wang.
"Of course, I will also go back to the city, and when it is dawn, I will personally lead people to the 'ghost camp' to search. Although the possibility of surviving the Dream Walker is extremely slim if he breaks into the ghost camp, it cannot be ruled out that his life is great! He must not be allowed to live! If this matter is stabbed out, we will all die!"
"There will be no problem in Light Wind City, we can cast a net, as long as he dares to show up and report the crime in Light Wind City, to ensure that he can't escape. Steward Wang had a wicked smile on his face.
The man in yellow's face sank, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle Xu, you take the crow guard back to the imperial city overnight. If that boy dies, don't worry, or you can find out where he lives for me, and then send someone to guard there." If he dares to go back, kill him immediately. ”
"However, the books that record the information of the 'Messenger' are all sealed. And with my identity, I can't reach it at all, let alone check the information inside. Xu Bo frowned, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.
"Use all your connections, at all costs! I'm sure you can do it. The man in yellow said in a cold voice.
