Chapter 50: Night Escape!
Gale war horses travel thousands of miles every day, but a day's kung fu Su Mu has completely moved away from the jurisdiction of Cambrian City, and the patrol hunters have gradually decreased, only a few caravans heading to the Montessori Imperial Capital are slowly moving forward on the avenue.
As the sun fell, a tooth-shaped waning moon rose in the east in the distance, and the dusky was replaced by night, and a quiet atmosphere enveloped a small post pavilion on the trade route.
After Su Mu tied his horse to the bolt of the post pavilion, he lit the fire left by his predecessors alone.
The red firelight illuminates the post pavilion, and the dense woods around it are a brute beast forest that Su Mu must pass through on this trip, and there are many brute beasts in it, although there is no particularly powerful species, but if you are not careful, you will still encounter danger.
Therefore, after lighting the bonfire, Su Mu began to quietly devour the rations by himself to replenish the body's energy consumed by the emergency of the day.
"It's so quiet and terrible that there's not even a single caravan passing by. Su Mu took out a piece of brute beast meat from the starry space and put it on the fire to roast it slowly. Within a moment, the smell of burnt meat wafted out of the cracks in the tattered walls of the post pavilion, tickling the weak beasts hiding in the dense forest.
In addition to bringing warmth to people and dispelling fear in their hearts, lighting a fire in the wild also serves as a warning to those beasts, signaling them not to act rashly.
"The military, this is a life I have never tried before, and I guess I will be quite constrained when I join it. There are also moon seal stone beads that can only be used when the full moon is used, and if you are gathering with others, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hide the amazing scene when the stone beads are abnormal. It seems that a way to live alone will have to be found, otherwise the plan to increase the strength of the flesh will be hindered. Su Mu thought in his heart, swallowing the freshly roasted beast meat in his mouth, and the fragrant beast milk wine dispelled the cold of the night.
Looking at the flickering bonfire flames in front of him, Su Mu's eyes were confused for a while, and his thoughts returned to the time when he had lived in Tuo's family.
"Barbarian, Uncle Li and Chubby, how are you doing now?" Every festival and harvest time, Tuo's square will be lit a vigorous bonfire, the tribesmen arm in hand around the splashing sparks while dancing in a circle, the simple and moving song from the depths of memory, as if in Su Mu's ears has been echoing, he looked at the flickering fire is actually stupid.
"Drive!"
Just as Su Mu was thinking about it, a rush of horses' hooves came from outside the post house, and several sparks from the burned wood in the bonfire splashed and happened to fall on Su Mu's arm, and he instantly came back to his senses.
"Someone's coming?" Su Mu put away the half-drunk beast milk wine, and looked at the entrance of the post pavilion with a slight frown.
Five iron-armored war horses that were the same as the gale war horses that Su Mu was riding stepped quickly, and the strong posture of their limbs flew into the post pavilion with their strong limbs in a few breaths!
"Finally found this little brute, but let's chase it for a while!" As the horse leaped, a middle-aged man on the horseback suddenly said coldly, and the chill around him, which had been slightly dispelled by the bonfire, instantly hit again.
Sitting by the campfire, Su Mu felt the pores of his whole body stand up, and it was the killing intent that enveloped his whole body when he encountered a life-threatening encounter during the killing team.
"It's Lei's people!"
In the panic, Su Mu recognized the backs of the five war horses, dressed in the common domestic servant clothes in the Cambrian Department, and each of them had three earthy yellow stars twinkling at the center of their eyebrows.
The five Lei family slaves who received the order teamed up to hunt down Su Mu, who was only one star late!
"Sting!"
As soon as the cold light was done, when the leader accompanied the war horse to leap over the bonfire, a spear about three meters long suddenly appeared in his hand, and the spear cut through the air in mid-air, directly in the rising flames, bringing a burst of scorching heat directly to stab Su Mu, who was getting up and retreating.
At this critical moment, Su Mu didn't hesitate for half a minute, and his body was like a frightened grasshopper bouncing off the ground, and he began to lean towards the broken corner of the post pavilion.
But the galloping wind war horse was so fast, and the spear head with the light of fire had already stabbed Su Mu's head for the first time.
A flash of yellow divine power flashed, and the beast head broadsword obtained from Lei Yi's hand shot out from the Sumugu God Star Point, and he instantly grasped the beast head hilt with both hands, shaking the stabbing flame spear head with lightning speed.
"Phew!"
The sound of the intersection of soldiers and iron sounded, and Su Mu felt a huge force of more than one million jin coming from the beast head broadsword, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.
How could the million-jin power of a three-star ancient god, combined with a gale war horse sprinting at high speed, be something that Su Mu, a little ancient god who didn't even have a two-star score of less than 500,000 jin, could withstand?
Hearing only a "boom", Su Mu's sturdy junior smashed the originally crumbling post pavilion wall, and the flying stone bricks brought up a burst of thick white smoke.
Just as the five of them rushed in together, Su Mu, who had been in the killing squad for two months, had already thought of a countermeasure, and the moment he broke the wall was the best time for him to escape!
If someone asks, why didn't Su Mu fight back? Then this person is definitely a brainless person!
Just imagine, the five three-star ancient gods joined forces head-on, even if Su Mu could kill the enemy beyond the ranks, it would be the end of dying on the spot!
The only countermeasure is to escape from this post pavilion and hide in the dense forest of brute beasts without fire!
"Good boy, he is worthy of being from the murder squad, so that he can escape!" The man who took the lead looked gloomy, and the moment he shot just now, he knew that he had fallen for Su Mu.
"This beast jungle is not suitable for war horses, so let's pursue it on foot. This kid knows the art of assassination, and the five of us don't have to be separated, we just need to chase after us in a group. The leader shook the spear with the fire in his hand, and the flame of the bonfire stained on the head of the spear was instantly extinguished. The five of them had a clear division of labor, and rushed into the dense forest where Su Mu had fled like several ghosts.
A tragic chase is inevitable!
"This Lei clan is really a big deal, five three-star level masters actually came to hunt down me, a nobody. At this time, Su Mu had already put away the beast-headed broadsword, and his body was like a cheetah in the night, sweeping at high speed over the treetops of the woods.
With each move, he would lightly kick the thick branch, and use the branch's own elasticity to leap forward, which was a trick he learned in the killing squad to rush away, and in doing so, it saved a lot of physical strength.
"Whoosh!"
A few sounds of rubbing leaves came from behind him, and the speed of the five three-star ancient gods was not much slower than his. After all, there is a difference of nearly 500,000 jin of strength between the two, and the speed of the other party is obviously a few points faster than his own.
"What should I do? That's an opponent at the level of five squad leaders, even in the killing squad, I have to shoot Li Feng and I at the same time to solve one. Now there are five of them, and this Lei clan obviously wants to kill me!" Su Mu's speed increased slightly, and the surface of his body was already covered with earthy yellow divine power, and he had already used all his strength to escape.
But the five people on the other side seemed to have some way to track their whereabouts, and they actually followed behind them impartially!
"If it weren't for the fragrance given by the head of the family, we wouldn't have been able to keep up with this kid's pace. What did this star kid eat to grow up, and he actually ran so fast!" One of the five was holding a handful of lighted incense, and the red smoke from the top of the incense glowed a terrifying glow in the night.
This light kept chasing in the direction that Su Mu had fled, and it was with the help of this wonderful use of the fragrance that the five of them followed behind Su Mu without hurry.
The two sides had already gone thousands of miles away from the dense forest pavilion between chasing and fleeing, and Su Mu felt that his physical strength was rapidly declining, and the yellow light attached to his feet was also much dimmer.
"Most of the divine power has been consumed, and I haven't gotten rid of them yet!" Just when Su Mu felt hopeless, a large tree in the sky that was several times taller than ordinary trees appeared in front of him.
"There's actually a cupola tree here! There must be a cupola here!" Su Mu's face showed a hint of ruthlessness, this repeated pursuit made him breathless, he had a plan, and his body rushed towards the sturdy tree.
The five Lei family slaves who came along the taste of incense saw that the red fluorescence slowly stopped, and their faces showed a hint of triumph.
"That kid can't run anymore! The leading middle-aged man named Lei Yang was the first to rush out, and if he could capture Su Mu alive, he would receive a great reward from the head of the Lei family.
But when he came to the sky-high tree, a dozen pairs of thick figures with scarlet and bloody eyes were wrapped around the trunk, and they hissed at the five people who rushed at them with their slightly yellowed tongues.
And under the big tree, Su Mu was holding a torch, and he turned his head to look at the five slaves surnamed Lei with a hideous face, and then set the roots of the big tree on fire in the shocked eyes of the five people.
The soaring flames were like a dragon, and instantly rushed up to the trunk of the big tree that these five or six people couldn't embrace, the yellow-red fire light turned Su Mu's face red, the looming demonic energy beat in his right eye, and the cold voice of the evil ghost sounded coldly under the moonlight of this insect chirping!
"Since you dare to hunt me down, let's die together!"
(PS: I accidentally ate my stomach with leg hair, and I also had a cold, and I was groggy all day today, and my head hurts, so I beg for comfort.) )
