Chapter 573: Corpses in the Wilderness
Beiting border town, bustling with cars and horses.
Sitting in the teahouse next to the avenue leading to the outside of the town, Feng Ren kept shaking the coarse porcelain teacup in his hand, watching the floating few dry tea leaves rippling in the pale yellow tea water, his state of mind was also like this tea leaf could not calm down. Glancing at the side while drinking the most expensive tea here, while taking a sip of the various pastries on the table, he completely looked like a rich lady, even if he sat in such an earthly world, he still had a sense of arrogance and nobility.
Why is it that Xiaoxuan, who is so good, has become a different person, it is completely two different temperaments and habits, such a contrast is too big, right?
Complaining is complaining, and it is impossible for him to leave alone with tears in the snowy night. First of all, from time to time, as she said, in fact, there are still many people in this world who can know her former identity, just the soul of Huo Xiaoxuan sleeping in that body, which makes Feng Ren have to stay aside.
Even if Xue Yetear was hurt, it was equivalent to Huo Xiaoxuan's injury to him, but this alone was absolutely not allowed to happen.
Gently putting down the teacup, Xue Ye Tear elegantly took out a handkerchief embroidered with delicate patterns to wipe the water stains and pastry crumbs on the side of his mouth, and then smiled and looked at Feng Ren, the meaning was obvious - go and pay.
Along the way, all the expenses were naturally paid by Feng Ren alone, and he also found another point, the consumption power of Xue Ye Tears was five or six grades higher than Huo Xiaoxuan's, and the selection of clothes was not only exquisite in all aspects, but also a large number, and the same was true for eating and sleeping, that kind of habit was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but doubt the true identity of Snowy Night Tears. If it was really just a killing tool in the Oblivion Pavilion, how could there be such a habit of life, it was obviously formed from childhood. Could it be that she is actually the daughter of a high-level figure? But if that is the case, after becoming Huo Xiaoxuan, she should not experience that kind of sad past, it is completely the treatment of the bottom.
I don't have a clue!
When he got up and called the shopkeeper to come to check out, Feng Ren inadvertently glanced at the group of pedestrians below through the half-open window, which was only a completely unconscious movement, but when his gaze swept over one of them, he instinctively felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, which seemed to stir up a small circle of ripples in the depths of his soul.
And the other party also seemed to feel the gaze from above, raised his head and saw Feng Ren standing by the window, the two looked at each other, and they were wary of each other. But they didn't stay long, and soon they all pretended to be just a casual withdrawal.
That person's eyes are definitely only available to people who have survived the Shura field several times, and the kind of cold color that looks down on life and death represents the life of this person...... It's basically a thousand-person slash level.
Sensing the discoloration on Feng Ren's face, Xue Yetear hid sideways by the window, and carefully glanced down through the gap, and also searched for the group of passers-by with only three people.
"Hmph, those three people really don't seem to be easy, I hope we won't bump into each other when the time comes. There was no emotion in the voice of the snow night tears, only a faint coldness.
"yes, I hope so. ”
Feng Ren muttered softly, and soon after settling the bill, he went downstairs with Xue Ye tears and came to the avenue leading to the distance, thirty miles to the east, he will go out of the jurisdiction of the Beiting Empire, which is a territory that is not under the rule of any empire, and is also bordered by the two empires of Kaman and Tianxun, plus there are many people in the past, and it has always been not very peaceful.
However, this is also the best way to avoid the North Courtyard garrison and leave the country more easily. The current battle situation is unusual, so much so that the border guards of Beiting have sent strong people to sit in the town, although Feng Ren and Xue Ye Tears are not afraid, but after all, more is better than less.
The caravan travelers who left the country from this road did not decrease because of the outbreak of another war, and the relatively formalized checkpoints also had a sense of existence, at least Feng Ren and Xue Ye Tears were not subject to any inspection when they passed, perhaps because the strength of the people sitting there was low, and they couldn't detect the cultivation of the two at all.
The only trouble is the graceful posture and cold appearance of the tears in the snowy night, but it attracts the attention of pedestrians from time to time along the way, but no one dares to take a step forward to make themselves bored. Being able to come to such a place with two people without an escort is a symbol of strength in itself, and those who lick blood on the tip of a knife all year round will not fail to understand.
With the increase of forked roads, several teams of people and horses from the border of Beiting are also constantly diverging, and Feng Ren can't recognize the road at all, so he chooses the right road according to the direction. According to the strength of him and Snow Night Tears, the speed of flying can be several times faster, but then it is easy to expose himself to the eyes of some people who are likely to be dormant in the shadows and don't know which side it belongs to, and it is also likely to cause more trouble at that time, so it is better to walk slowly and low-key like this.
To be precise, the speed of the two is not slow, after all, they are very anxious.
An hour after leaving the town, it was almost noon, and there was no other passer-by on the road except the two of them. Even if he didn't know the specific direction and didn't calculate how far he had gone, Feng Ren already knew in his heart that the location he had set foot on was no longer the territory of Beiting.
The reasons are many, and they are simple, such as the faint smell of blood wafting from the breeze ahead.
Xue Ye Tear also sniffed, and asked expressionlessly, "How is it, do you want to go and see?"
"Gotta go. I had a hunch that what we encountered there was probably something we wanted to do before. Feng Ren can't say what makes him feel so strange in his heart, but he thinks that he can believe it, and there is no other reason.
When I came to the scene of the incident, I saw imaginary corpses everywhere, blood flowing, mutilated limbs everywhere, and many broken blades stuck in the ground. The carriage overturned on its side, and the domesticated demonic beast pulling the cart also disappeared, and it was a mess inside.
"It's just killing people and selling goods, there's nothing to see. Xue Ye Tear muttered casually, and the look in his eyes did not change in any way because of the tragic situation here. She has long been accustomed to such blood.
Feng Ren shook his head and said, "It is impossible for normal killers to choose such an open and inconvenient place to ambush, unless it is completely crushed by strength. But if that is the case, there should not be such a tragic fierce battle scene here, which can only show that the other side does not win very casually. ”
Xue Ye nodded with tears in her eyes, "An encounter that neither side expected?" Or is this a fake scene, and the real fight is not here?"
Still shaking his head, Feng Ren muttered with his chin, "It's not like it." Look at the wound on the chest of the person over there, there are still remnants of the violent fire attribute, I am afraid that it was left by a person at least the seventh level of the realm. If you want to destroy the corpse, there are many ways, why transfer the corpse to fake the scene, and directly burn it on the spot without leaving any flaws. Or is it that the people who do it not only want to make it impossible for the latecomers to find the real place of the fight, but also want to mislead their thinking in another direction?"
"At least, I can't find any reason to believe your empty inferences at the moment. Huh?" Snow Night Tears shook her head and walked through the corpses, but suddenly stopped, twisted her hand and slashed at the bottom of the overturned carriage.
Boom!
Fragments flew in, and she poked her fingers into it and pulled out a quaint square copper box.
"Don't open it!"
Feng Ren jumped to the side of Snow Night Tears and reached out and pressed on her jade hand that was already covering the top of the box.
casually knocked down the palm that Feng Ren pressed over, and Xue Ye snorted coldly: "Of course I understand that it can't be opened." I felt the presence as I walked by, and it was impossible for the gang to be unaware. It's like, they deliberately left it waiting for someone to find out. Inside, it must be some kind of deadly mechanism, right?"
"Now that you know, you still ......"
"Who said I'm going to open it, just want to feel the fluctuations in it. Still, it seems like nothing exists. Xue Ye glanced at Feng Ren with tears, and checked the copper box, not knowing what to do for a while.
And at this moment, several whistling sounds broke through the air from far and near, and the direction seemed to be coming in this direction. Feng Ren suddenly became nervous, and an ominous thought appeared in his heart, and he hurriedly grabbed Xue Ye's wrist and shouted, "It's better to go first." ”
Xue Ye's tears stood still, and he didn't listen to Feng Ren at all, but looked up at the direction of the person in the air, and said with a faint smile: "Perhaps, this time the person who came can help us decipher." ”
Feng Ren shouted: "But it is also likely to involve us in some unnecessary trouble, so it is better to go first." ”
"I think it's better for you to stay first. ”
A voice that couldn't hear the slightest emotion floated in, and then a figure fell from the air, gently stepping on the ground and looking around at the surrounding corpse mountain and sea of blood, but his face was indifferent. Soon, four more figures fell, forming a ring around Feng Ren and Xue Ye Tears in the middle, looking vigilant.
The first one fluctuates at the domain level, the two people behind him have one at the domain level, and the two people have nine at the realm level.
This kind of strength is not weak.
"We're just passing through, and these have nothing to do with us. Feng Ren explained, and at the same time wanted to snatch the copper box in the hands of Tears in the snowy night, but she easily avoided it.
"Bring it. ”
Xue Ye shook her head with tears and said, "Don't give it." I just said that they were likely to help us solve some mysteries, but I didn't say that this is their stuff, so why hand it over?"
The leader nodded in agreement: "Yes, this is the first time I have seen that thing, I must have found it here, right? The people who died here belong to the same force as me, if they stay, I hope this young lady can be handed over to me." ”
Xue Ye Tears sneered: "There was a hint of difference in your eyes when you saw this box in my hand just now, and there was a hint of greed. Regardless of what's inside, at least it's not the first time you've seen this box. As for whether the person who was ambushed here is on the same path as you, I don't bother to investigate. In short, you don't want to take away things. ”
Hearing Xue Ye Tears' words, Feng Ren was a little indignant and anxious in his heart, he didn't understand why Xue Ye Tears had to directly grudge with a group of unknown people in such a place.
"In that case, I have no choice but to offend. Since you're just passers-by, you shouldn't covet that thing. ”
