Chapter 18: No Chance of Victory

I thought that my attitude would upset the old man in front of me, but I thought too much

The old man laughed a few times, and then spoke slowly

"You kid, I like it"

It's really strange that no one in this village can speak, but suddenly an old man who can talk appears and says he likes me... I don't want to contribute chrysanthemums...

"Kid, you shouldn't have come..."

I was thinking about it unbelievably when the old man suddenly said this

"What do you mean?"

I tilted my head, even more puzzled

Unexpectedly, the old man refused to answer me directly, and then untied me from the rope

"Go away, don't come again, here... It's about to disappear from the world..."

I scratched my head, obviously not knowing what the old man meant, all I could tell was that he didn't want us to stay here any longer

At this time, Qian Xiaozhen also woke up and stood up slowly

His first instinct when he saw the old man was to draw his sword, but unfortunately his and my knives were long gone

"Alright, alright, I'm done, you should go... I'm not going to tell you anything else."

Qian Xiaozhen was also confused, showing one of his few hesitations, and then he had no choice but to say to the old man

"Senior, we have no intention of offending, and I hope that our seniors will return the weapons to us, we can't come in vain."

Qian Xiaozhen means that since he came, he must find something, and if the old man doesn't tell us, we will check it ourselves

I thought that the old man must not understand the slow response, who would have thought that the old man would say

"Half a day only, you must leave before 5pm"

After speaking, the old man's palm flipped over, turned into two short swords out of thin air, and handed over a dagger

Seeing that I opened my mouth slightly in surprise, Qian Xiaozhen hurriedly whispered beside me

"It's called a storage ring, it can store anything, and it's been around for years."

The old man must have heard it, but he didn't say anything, just smiled and told us to take the weapon

Before the old man returned his weapon, he had to go out

"Senpai, what's your name!"

I looked at the back of the old man and had an indescribable feeling, very sad, very desolate...

"Hongshan!"

When the old man finished speaking, he stopped looking at us and went straight out of the gate

"Hong Shan? ... Flood... "I saw Qian Xiaozhen tinkering on the side, so I asked

"What's wrong?"

"I remember hearing others say that this Hongshan predecessor was originally a wizard in the Demon Realm, but then fled because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the Demon King..."

The Demon Realm? Sorcerer? Beelzebub?

A strange word came into my ears, and my brain almost couldn't react

"But that's what I've heard, I don't know if it's accurate, maybe it's a duplicate name."

I thought about it carefully, the chance of having the same name is not very high, and looking at the old man's dress and temperament, it really feels like that

And the fierce look in the old man when the young man left, I decided that there must be something strange in this

I only cared about my own analysis, and completely forgot that there was this old man who was tied up next to me

I was just about to untie the rope for him and notice that something was wrong, I cautiously probed my nose, and sure enough! The old man is dead

I instinctively took a step back, and Qian Xiaozhen didn't expect that these people were so inhumane

So I decided to start with the young people in the lead

I'll tell Qian Xiaozhen everything I think

"It's a good idea, but how do we know which one is him?"

In the face of Qian Xiaozhen's question, I already had a countermeasure

"Since they don't treat me as a human being, then we don't have to be polite to them!"

This also reminds me of a line in the movie: Wicked people need to be evil

I walked down the street with Qian Xiaozhen, and then slowly trotted out because I was in a hurry

It's about the same now, and there are still 4 hours until five o'clock, and since the answer to Hongshan's predecessors, you can't break your promise, and you must reveal all the secrets here in five hours

"Lin Yao, there is someone in front"

I had just been paying attention to the small rocks under my feet to avoid tripping, but I didn't notice that there was a person standing in front of me

I slowed down and looked closely, and it was the young man

He was facing away from us at this time, his clothes were whirring in the wind, and he was carrying a large sword one palm wide on his back, and he really looked like a master

As he spoke, he moved his steps and turned around slowly, and the temperament on his body also changed drastically

The originally translucent eyes turned green, and the already scarred face became even older.

Could it be that this is a ghost?

I saw that he patted the dust on his body, and without even pulling out the knife behind him, he hooked his fingers provocatively at us, of course, he had no expression on his face all the time

Qian Xiaozhen and I glanced at each other, knowing that this stop would definitely not be able to escape, so we simply took out our weapons one after another

I didn't wait for Qian Xiaozhen, I took the lead and rushed forward, and I was the first to strike!

But who would have thought that he would just turn sideways and dodge one of my whip legs

I was about to stab the dagger, but I didn't realize that he had clamped my hand tightly

I tried desperately to break free, but in exchange for him holding my big hand harder

After his large, cold and powerful hand took hold of one of my hands, both of them could only attack with the remaining hand

I thought I could get a little bit done with it, but I thought too much

He smiled with interest, and then he was about to hit me in the head, which was a cruel move.

At this moment, Qian Xiaozhen finally swung his double swords and attacked the young man in front of him

The young man finally let go of me, but at the same time, it was accompanied by strength

... With a gabba, my arm was completely broken

"Ahh

I let out a howl of pain, and then I was kicked and flew 5 or 6 meters away

Is this strength possessed by a ghost?

I grinned and touched the broken arm, it's okay to be injured, but don't hurt the bones, this feeling is only known to those who have experienced it, it is a pain in the heart

Over there, Qian Xiaozhen finally forced the young man to draw out his big sword, and the two seemed to be tied, but after looking at Qian Xiaozhen's large and small knife wounds and increasingly hideous expression, it was clear at a glance who lost and who won

Finally, after Qian Xiaozhen had a defensive hole, he was kicked out by the young man

I stood up weakly, and I thought about fighting against me, but I didn't expect that I collapsed in front of the people who hadn't run before I was weak

The young man wiped the blood from the knife with his clothes, and then precisely withdrew the knife into the scabbard behind him

He glanced at me, then turned around and walked to Qian Xiaozhen, who was struggling to get up

At this moment, he suddenly burst out laughing, and the empty whisper made me even more convinced that he was a ghost at this moment!
