Chapter 35: Escape and Battle

A long time passed, and the black-robed man never returned. Zhou Tianshen squirmed his body, the tingling feeling he felt when he woke up just now had disappeared, he wanted to escape with everyone before the black-robed man arrived, but after shouting twice, except for the graceful woman who answered, no one woke up, and Zhou Tianshen had no choice but to give up.

The graceful woman asked, "This young man, do you have a way to get out of here?"

Zhou Tianshen was wary of the surroundings, afraid that there would be cave beasts watching them here, so he didn't dare to answer.

The graceful woman said, "Don't worry, Shaoxia, there is no one else here except us, you just have to speak with peace of mind." ”

Zhou Tianshen let down his guard and said his plan, "This kind of rope can't trap me, I wanted to wake everyone up and go out together, but now it seems that the poison on their bodies has not been unraveled, I want to go out and find some herbs, first unravel the poison on their bodies, girl, would you like to go out with me?"

Without thinking, the woman said, "Of course you can, but what should I do?"

Zhou Tianshen broke free of the rope on his body, fell to the ground, brought chairs, stacked them together, he climbed on the chair, pulled out the short knife on his waist, cut the rope on the woman's body, and the woman took off her mask, revealing her true face.

Zhou Tianshen sighed lightly and couldn't help blushing.

The woman hid her face and smiled, "Young man, let's go out first." ”

Zhou Tianshen smiled embarrassedly, bent over, and came to the door of the cave, he looked out, and saw a short man standing outside the cave, he retracted his gaze and said, "There are people standing guard outside, wait a while, I will go out to lure him away, you take the opportunity to escape." ”

The woman asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhou Tianshen was ready to sprint outward, and said, "You don't have to worry about us, after you escape, you will go to Jiuxiang County to find rescuers, if you don't want to, I won't force it, but if you see a man who is not good at words in the mountains, tell him what happened to us, and he will come to us." ”

The woman pulled Zhou Tianshen's arm, Zhou Tianshen was almost unstable, took a deep breath, and calmed down the turbulent waves in his heart.

The woman looked behind her, pointed to a corner and said, "Shaoxia, did you hear anything?"

Zhou Tianshen turned his head and followed her finger to see that the stone wall was chiseled through a hole by a pangolin, and the eccentric pangolin saw the two and ran out in a panic.

Only a small and delicate hole remains.

The two of them came to the entrance of the cave and measured the size of the hole.

Zhou Tianshen said disappointedly, "This hole is too small, and we can't get out of it at all." ”

The woman waved her hand, signaling Zhou Tianshen not to worry, only to see her take out a small bottle from her shoes, uncork the bottle, and a very fragrant fragrance of flowers came from inside, she covered her mouth and nose and said, "Beware of poison." ”

Zhou Tianshen took two steps back, and the woman covered her stomach and smiled, "Lie to you." ”

Zhou Tianshen smiled awkwardly.

The woman poured the liquid from the bottle around the hole, and the stone wall began to corrode, and there was a 'sizzle' sound.

The woman explained, "This is my own 'melt stone' that I have set up to mine the cave. ”

A quarter of an hour later, the entrance of the stone cave expanded nearly twice, and the two of them drilled into the cave one after another, before leaving, Zhou Tianshen brought two big stones to cover the entrance of the cave, the stone wall was very thin, the two quickly climbed out, looking at the hole in the clothes on their bodies, the woman said unhappily, "If I know who tied me, I will definitely not be able to spare them." ”

Zhou Tianshen said goodbye to the woman, but was grabbed by the woman with one hand, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Tianshen wanted to break free of the woman, but was grabbed harder, Zhou Tianshen said helplessly, "I'm going to find a rescuer." ”

"I don't know your name yet, my name is Wanlin. ”

Zhou Tianshen pouted, "Zhou Tianshen." ”

The woman stood up and waved goodbye, "Nice to meet you, goodbye." ”

Wan Lin's figure quickly disappeared into the night.

What a strange girl, Zhou Tianshen thought.

According to the judgment, the cave where Zhou Tianshen and his people were imprisoned was located on the second of the three peaks between Jiuxiang County and Huaxiang County, named 'Eryuan Mountain'. Meng Cheng should have known that they were missing, but he didn't know that they were being held here, and if he couldn't find Meng Cheng before the black-robed man noticed that he had fled, then Wang Duozhan and their lives would be in danger.

The map is on Tie Zishan, Zhou Tianshen doesn't know the route, the mountains are full of dangers, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, Zhou Tianshen did not dare to be careless, just when he was cautiously descending the mountain, a blue and purple figure flashed in front of him, Zhou Tianshen said vigilantly, "Who?"

"It's me. ”

The woman named Wan Lin reappeared, with an extra branch in her left hand, which she should have used for walking.

Zhou Tianshen walked up to the woman in the dark, and the woman took off the leaves stuck in her hair and asked with a smile, "Do you know the way down the mountain?"

Zhou Tianshen shrugged.

The woman stretched out her right hand, holding a map in her hand, and said playfully, "Follow me, don't get lost." ”

The peak is not very high, but there are a lot of gravel and trees, the roots of the trees are intertwined together, forming a natural net, and the corpses of cave beasts are everywhere under the net, and some of them have only a dry skeleton left, and the woman kicked away a skull at her feet, and asked in disgust, "Why is there such a thing everywhere here?"

Zhou Tianshen followed behind him, walking very slowly, he was observing these tree roots, and found that they did not grow underground, but on the ground, enjoying the same world as the trunk and leaves, he picked up the hind leg bone of a certain large cave beast, and found that there were some other things flying around inside, he broke the bones, and two small black insects flew out of it, surrounded him, flew round and round, and finally said goodbye.

Wanlin found Zhou Tianshen standing in a daze, and shouted in front, "Hey, it's almost dawn, we have to go down the mountain as soon as possible, otherwise..."

The voice stopped abruptly, Zhou Tianshen looked back, the tree behind him was full of people, he quickly walked in front of the woman, protected her behind him, the woman said in despair, "It seems that we are going to die." ”

A man and a woman jumped down from the tree, the man held two daggers in his hand, and his body was wrapped with a layer of red cloth painted with characters, the woman held a rope in her hand, and several iron rings hung on the thick rope, the iron rings collided, making a 'ding' sound, the man stood behind the woman, and the woman walked in front of Zhou Tianshen, stopping five steps in front of Zhou Tianshen.

The woman held the rope in her hand, and her fingers were on the rope, knocking again and again.

The man is Zhu Shaoshan's subordinate, Zhu Choze.

Zhu Choze opened his mouth to speak, his voice was still hoarse, "Come with us." ”

"Nope. ”

The woman shook her fingers, pointed to the woman behind Zhou Tianshen and said, "Our roommate wants to see her, and she wants to go with me." ”

Zhu Choze walked to the woman's side and stood on the same level as the woman, even in the face of such an elegant woman, he was still as inflexible as ever, Zhu Choze said, "The order I received was to take two people back. ”

The woman stood sideways, looked at Zhu Shuze, and said disdainfully, "Don't think that you can sit and talk with us, it means that you can bargain with us, the owner is very interested in her identity, she must go with us." ”

Zhu Shuze put the dagger on the woman's neck, this move can already directly cause a battle between the two rooms, obviously, the woman understands this truth very well, only to see her take two steps back, choose to leave, the woman waved her hand, and the figure on the tree disappeared half in an instant.

Zhu Shuze raised his head, Zhenzifang was really easy to bully, he raised his left hand, hooked his fingers, and two masked men jumped down from the big tree behind him, they walked behind Zhou Tianshen and tied the two again, just when he escorted Zhou Tianshen and the two back to the cave, the sound of fighting came from the tree, but before he came back to his senses, his neck was tightly grasped by a big hand, and the owner of the hand was Meng Cheng, the owner of the martial arts hall in Laohuai Village.

Meng Cheng's left cheek was covered with blood, probably accidentally cut a hole, Meng Cheng pinched Zhu Choze's neck, and threw the corpse under the net, as soon as the corpse fell, it was tightly covered by a red insect, Meng Cheng took out a kind of stone powder from the inch, sprinkled it around, put away the stone powder, Meng Cheng explained, "This kind of insect likes blood, especially cultivators, we have the smell of this person on our body, insects can follow the smell to find us, this kind of stone powder is specially used to confuse the smell of insects." ”

Sure enough, Zhou Tianshen saw the insects crashing under the net, but he couldn't climb to the top of the net.

More than these, Zhou Tianshen was more curious about how Meng Cheng found them.

Zhou Tianshen asked, "How did Uncle Meng find us?"

Meng Cheng pointed behind them and said, "It's him." ”

Looking behind him, not far away stood a long-haired young man with a naked upper body and a big black dog tattooed on his body, the long-haired young man had a blazing eye, a scar on his left eyelid, and his hands had sharp claws, Wanlin saw him and exclaimed, "Erjiong, why are you here?"

The long-haired young man grinned, his voice was a bit like dry straw, and the young man said, "Someone wrote a letter and put it at the door of the house, and the lord knew about your kidnapping, so he asked me to look for you, and I met this good man on the way." ”

Meng Cheng clenched his fists.

Erwei continued, "In addition to me, Ermo and Ermo have also come, and now I am afraid that they have already fought with the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Tianshen came to his senses and shouted to Meng Cheng, "Uncle Meng, Zishan, they are still in each other's hands." ”

Er Cook disappeared in a flash, came to the three of them and said, "Don't worry, they can handle it, let's hurry down the mountain now." ”

Meng Cheng nodded, signaling that he didn't need to worry too much.

It seems that he is well aware of the strength of the other party.

The three of them followed behind Er Cook, and came to a thatched hut at the foot of the mountain, there was wine and meat in the thatched house, Zhou Tianshen and Wanlin did not eat all night, this was specially prepared for them, but the rest of the people have not been rescued, Zhou Tianshen really has no appetite, and Wanlin is eating a large piece on the side. Meng Cheng saw the worry in Zhou Tianshen's eyes and proposed, "If you are really worried about them, go up the mountain and take a look, maybe you can help others." ”

Zhou Tianshen walked out of the thatched house, looked up, and saw two figures shuttling on the mountain, followed by several shadows whose faces could not be seen clearly, Zhou Tianshen shouted to the thatched house, "Someone is coming." ”

Meng Cheng and Er Wei walked out of the thatched hut one after another, vigilant to prevent someone from sneaking up, Er Cheng said excitedly, "It's finally here." ”

Meng Cheng reminded, "The number of the other party is far more than us, so it's better to be careful." ”

Erwei stretched out his scarlet tongue, his lips were red, his eyeballs were bloodshot, his whole body was bruised, his feet smashed the ground, he jumped up, and a wolf roar resounded through the earth, among the mountains and forests, Erzai and Ermo, who were carrying Tie Zishan and others, heard the wolf roar and stopped, and the black-clothed man chasing behind him also stopped not far away, Ermo laughed and said, "Erwei, this bastard, won't you go berserk again?"

Er Zai sighed, "It's really nerve-wracking, and I want to have fun with them." ”

Ermo rose into the air again, and when he fell, he had already appeared at the foot of the mountain, and he put down Tie Zishan, Wang Duozhan, Wang Cunyuan and Jin Quanyi hugged Meng Cheng and returned the salute, Er Zai slowly walked down the mountain, ignoring the hidden weapons and swords of the black-clothed man behind him, just when the black-clothed swordsman's sword was about to cut off Er Zai's neck, a blood-red hand suddenly held the sword body, blood dripped down the wound on the ground net, countless red insects drilled out from under the ground net, desperately moving closer to the blood, the crazy Er Wei smiled hideously, the hand holding the sword body pulled back, the swordsman was pulled in front of him, his other hand passed through the swordsman's chest, the swordsman spat blood, his eyes revealed fear and unwillingness, the swordsman's body was torn to pieces and scattered under the ground net, The red bugs lay on top of the meat block, the meat quickly dried up, and finally turned blue-purple, obviously, the red bugs sucked up the blood of the swordsman, and the insects who had a full meal were unwilling to leave, they gathered on Er Wei's side, and the tail emitted a light red light, flashing and flashing, as if communicating with Er Wei, Er Wei tilted his head, counting how many people in black were in front of him, and after witnessing the death of the swordsman, the people in black retreated one after another, but they couldn't leave until they received the order to retreat.

Finally, Erwei launched an attack, his speed was very fast, like a meteor falling in the starry sky at night, beautiful with destruction, claws constantly piercing the throat, corpses shattered, without exception, every time the corpse fell, a group of red bugs would rush out from all sides, and a bloody gluttonous feast kicked off in front of everyone's eyes.

The last man in black died in fear.

After inspecting the surroundings and not finding any shadow of a living being, he set his target on Zhou Tianshen and others at the foot of the mountain, in front of the thatched house.

He flashed to the foot of the mountain, looked at Zhou Tianshen provocatively, he smelled the smell of those black-clothed people on him, and Meng Cheng, who noticed this strangeness, hurriedly protected Zhou Tianshen behind him, put on a fist posture, and asked the other two, "What's the matter with him?"

Ermo, who had an old ox tattooed on his body, took two steps back, protecting the children who had been rescued by him and Erzai, and Wan Lin took them all into the thatched hut, Ermo said, "Look at this posture, it will really take some effort to subdue him." ”

Er, who also had a big black cat tattooed on his body, moved his limbs and said, "This strong man, this matter is our family matter, so I won't bother you to do it, even if it is handed over to our two brothers." ”

Meng Cheng said uneasily, "You rescued them, I haven't thanked you properly, I think I'll take action this time." ”

Ermo smiled, "No need, we have seen this situation a lot, and we have already studied a way to deal with it, you are unfamiliar with it, if you are injured, it is difficult to explain clearly." ”

Meng Cheng no longer insisted.

Erzai and Ermo looked at each other and smiled.

Erwei gasped and rushed towards the two.

The two of them dispersed to the left and right, and after settling down, their hands formed complex handprints, and the tattoos on their bodies emitted a strange light, and the light covered their bodies, and when the light dissipated, an old scalper and a big black cat appeared where they stood in front of them.

Zhou Tianshen hid behind Meng Cheng and took in all the experiences.

He clearly saw that under the light, Erzai and Ermo gradually turned into scalpers and black cats.

Meng Cheng whispered, "I think these three people should be cave beasts that have cultivated into human form, those two are the old scalper and the big black cat, and the one who goes crazy should be the black dog." No wonder they say they are used to him going crazy. ”

Zhou Tianshen was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Meng Cheng explained, "Every cave beast that cultivates into a human form has a time limit when it first transforms into a human form, and only when it cultivates high enough can it break this restriction and become a human forever, but before that, if the cave beast is unwilling to turn back into a beast and is unwilling to admit his identity as a cave beast, then he will be troubled by the human body, so that he will go mad, and finally become a human and a ghost." I think the tattoo on the three of them was based on that. ”

Sure enough, just when Erqi ran away, the old ox locked him on the stone wall with the horns on his head, and the big black cat cut his chest with its claws, and the blood flowed on the tattoo.
