Chapter 37: The Hunt
Dozens of people rushed quickly in the dense forest, and the chief manager of Ah Fu and several masters in the house were the first to rush to the front, since there was danger, everyone sacrificed the magic weapon, and for a time everyone had flying swords above their heads, which was very lively.
Following the last guard, no more than a meter away from the companion in front, while running, he suddenly heard a trace of movement behind a big tree behind, and couldn't help but stop slowly, and had the intention to call a few companions together, but this slowed down, and the companion ran out of ten meters away, leaving only a vague figure.
The guard didn't scream even though he opened his mouth, and turned around and cautiously approached the tree.
Suddenly, a figure burst out among the rotten leaves on the ground beside him, and the sword light slashed like lightning, and the guard just turned his head when he heard the sound, and the flying sword just turned his head, and saw the head flying, full of blood spurting everywhere.
Zhang Xiaohu leaned over and picked up the storage bag and flying sword, looked around, quickly put the guard's corpse into the storage bag, covered the blood stains around him, and quietly followed the pursuit team.
Not far after the chase, there was a roar of flying swords in front of him, Zhang Xiaohu cautiously dived forward, it turned out that the guards encountered a demon beast that went out to hunt for food, how could the guards chasing the enemy have time to play slowly with him, in an instant, dozens of flying swords roared up, and the demon beast struggled for a round or two before being cut into pieces of meat.
One person was left to clean up the demon beast, and the rest of the people, led by Ah Fu, chased them out again.
The guards who stayed behind muttered in their mouths, there were good things to do to chase and kill Li Yunlong, a monk who had just built a foundation, but he just cleaned up the mess, and it was estimated that he was not very regarded in the City Lord's Mansion.
Watching the guards pick up pieces of meat piece by piece, Zhang Xiaohu thought about it, gently took out an iron pill, and threw it behind another big tree beside him.
"Who?"
The guards also reacted quickly, heard the sound, turned around, and the flying sword shot straight over, and the iron pill just landed and did not stop, and was stabbed by the flying sword, and the iron pill was made of iron essence waste, which was quite strong, and this sword only cut the iron pellet into a gap, making a "ding" sound.
Hearing the voice, the guard knew that he had hit the target, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that he was just cleaning up the mess, but he didn't expect to meet the target, and he rushed forward while directing the flying sword to slash there.
After bypassing the big tree, the guards were shocked, how could there be any Li Yunlong, there was just a tattered iron pill on the ground, and he knew that he was fooled, the guards were short, and the flying sword protected him.
Zhang Xiaohu raised his hand, and the iron pills shot out like beads, as if they were connected into a straight line.
The first iron pill was struck by the flying sword with a ding, and then the second, the third, continuous blows, the flying sword couldn't help but slow down a little, just at this moment, the fourth, fifth, and sixth followed, and the flying sword changed from hitting the iron pellet to being hit by the iron pellet, and the flying sword protection that was a little uncontrollable revealed a flaw.
Zhang Xiaohu rushed over with a knife, and when the knife light passed, the whole guard exploded, and flesh and blood splashed all over the sky.
Zhang Xiaohu, who stopped, frowned and looked at the flesh and blood all over the ground, this time the force was too strong, it seems that the flesh and blood in this place are not easy to clean up, I don't know if the sound of the fight just now has been found, and I can't take risks.
Quickly put away the storage bag and the flying sword, Zhang Xiaohu turned around and left, fortunately he walked in time, and after a while, a few guards rushed out of the clouds, and the last few who were walking vaguely heard the sound of the flying sword, and a few people thought it was wrong and turned back.
Seeing the broken corpses on the ground, several people discussed for a while, and sent one person to chase the large team to report the news, while the remaining few people stayed in place, looking for the target's traces by the way.
Zhang Xiaohu didn't go far, quietly found a place to hide, and sure enough, a few guards came, and after a while, he walked one, presumably to report the news, and the remaining few were four to investigate.
Do it, there are too many people, don't do it, there is no way to wait for the team to come back, Zhang Xiaohu was thinking of a way, and suddenly accidentally saw a place, couldn't help but smile secretly, and quietly dived up.
The three guards slowly searched along the traces, and several iron pellets shot out from the bushes on the side, and the three of them were already prepared, took a step back, and with a turn of the flying sword, they shot down the iron pellets.
As soon as two of them stepped back, they felt their ankles tighten, and with a whoosh, they were hung upside down and flew into the sky.
Suddenly, the remaining guards didn't think of helping their companions at first, but jumped two steps forward to dodge the unknown attack, and then flew the sword to protect their surroundings, and then looked up.
It was too late for the two guards to disappear without a trace, leaving only two screams hovering in the canopy.
It turned out that there were blood-red vines hanging on the big tree that the three people searched for, and the three of them were a little away from the vines, even if the vines attacked, they had a lot of time to fight back, but just a few iron pills flew in, and the guards retreated, but they took the initiative to send their feet to the vines.
The guards who were hung upside down were not panicked, and they wanted to control the flying sword to cut the vines at the first time, but they didn't know that at this time, two more iron pills flew in and went straight to the heads of the two.
When they hit the flying iron pill, the two of them have risen to the crown of the tree, and countless vines stretched out in all directions, and the two of them tried to cut off a few with flying swords, but they had no divine sense, and the person was hung upside down again, and after a while, they were entangled by the vines, and they were pulled down, and the two of them were divided by the vines.
The remaining guard looked up, and the two of them were long gone, only to see the blood flowing down the trunk of the tree like a waterfall, and they were so frightened that they screamed strangely, and ran away without even looking at the direction.
Zhang Xiaohu was just about to make a move, but he saw the guard coming towards him, people were in front, and the flying sword was flying wildly behind, as if something was chasing.
There was no way to rush Zhang Xiaohu to death, he was happy in his heart, he thought he needed to fight hard, but he didn't know that this guy was too timid, and when the guard ran to his side, a knife light flew out of the bushes, and the guard was cut into two pieces, and the guard's upper body fell to the ground, and he still crawled forward with both hands for a while before he was angry.
Zhang Xiaohu picked up the flying sword in the storage bag, loaded the body again, walked under the big tree, picked up the flying sword dropped by the two guards, looked up, sighed, alas, no way, borrowing the vines, the storage bag was also greedy for ink, but it was a pity that the two storage bags were there.
Briefly covering up the scene, Zhang Xiaohu went around in a big circle from a distance, and returned to the vicinity, and heard Ah Fu scolding the guards loudly from a distance, and several masters led people and horses to search around.
It's only been a day, and the guards have lost more than a dozen people, and it's okay to say that they were swallowed by the forest, after all, everyone knows the danger of the Cloud Forest, but in the end, these five or six people were all killed by Li Yunlong, which is unbearable, of course, so far, no one has seen Zhang Xiaohu head-on, and has always thought that it was Li Yunlong who made the shot.
The fourth master looked at the dead so many guards, a little unnatural, "Brother Fu, if we quit and guard the outside of the forest, I don't believe he can really survive in the cloud forest."
Without waiting for Ah Fu to speak, the sixth master shouted loudly, "Fourth brother, what are you talking about, you have to retreat, I won't kill this little bastard, I will not return to the city."
The fifth master also supports the sixth master, so many people have died, and it is not embarrassing the city lord's mansion to retreat, "You can't retreat, fourth brother"
The fourth master was a little annoyed when he saw that several younger brothers were opposed, "There is a city lord's mansion in Nuoda, and there are only fifty chamberlains, and there are more than ten less on this day, do you know how much effort the eldest brother spent to cultivate it? It's not worth dying like this."
The fifth master said with a gloomy face, "The eldest brother was cultivated, not to make them serve, and to retreat at this time, so what do you want them to do?"
The sixth master even pointed to the guards around him and shouted loudly, "Do any of you want to quit? Say it out loud, and the master will let you go."
In this case, who dares to speak, saying that it is impossible not to be afraid, but it has not reached the point where everyone is flustered and dare not step forward, and the fourth master is a little timid, and he also has the status to speak, and the rest of the people who eat the bowl of rice of the guards are usually the masters who live with their heads pinned to their belts, and they are not afraid to go up, they are afraid to go up.
Seeing that the guards around him lowered their heads and didn't speak, the fourth master was a little embarrassed, and pointed to the fifth master and the sixth master, "Okay, don't say that I didn't say it, if someone dies again, see how you explain to the eldest brother"
The sixth master blushed and argued with a thick neck, "If something happens, I will be responsible, and I know that you are most afraid of death."
The fourth master was furious, this brother knew, how could he speak out, grabbed the collar of the sixth master and said, "If you have the ability, you can say it again"
Ah Fu couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore and didn't hear it, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "Okay, okay, one person will say a word, the sixth master, and don't apologize to the fourth master."
The sixth master also knew that his mouth was quick for a while, and he talked nonsense, and he honestly bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, fourth brother"
The fourth master let go of the collar of the sixth master, snorted in his mouth and didn't speak, Ah Fu came forward, and said that he couldn't beat the sixth master if he really wanted to fight, the only thing was to rely on the identity of the fourth brother to suppress it, or accept it when he saw it.
"Brother Fu, what do you say?" Although he knew that Ah Fu's answer would definitely not be to retreat, the fourth master still wanted to fight for it.
"Retreat is definitely not retreated" Ah Fu first set a tone, "Everyone think about it and see if there is any way to find people"
The guards usually do it as guards, fighting, even if they have some skills in the mountains and forests, but in this cloud forest, all of them are useless, the key is divine sense, if it weren't for the lack of divine sense, people would have been caught a long time ago.
After thinking about it for a long time, I put forward a lot of ideas, none of them were practical, and if I stayed longer, I didn't know where the target went, so I could only end the discussion and continue to look for some traces left by Zhang Xiaohu.
