Chapter 4: The Ruthless Woman
Lu Shaoyun found that beside him, Shangguan Xiao was already holding a long knife and facing the monster in front of him, while Xuanchen and Zhao Shicheng were standing behind.
At this time, Zhong Ming, who was as embarrassed as him, climbed out of the car, still holding a bronze ancient box in his hand.
"Zhong Ming, you take the master first." After Shangguan Xiao finished speaking, he raised his knife and rushed over.
"What about me?" Lu Shaoyun just wanted to mention it, but there was already a scuffle over there.
Forget it, it's important to save your life, so you can't stop and sell it, so you catch up with the team.
After walking not far, Lu Shaoyun was a little uneasy, and when he looked back again, he found that Shangguan Xiao had been firmly bound by the monster's tentacles and held up in midair.
The abyssal jaw that frightened the phobia patients was slowly opening, and Lu Shaoyun could imagine what a terrible end it would be for the prey caught by this monster to be sent into a meat grinder-like mouth.
After a second of ideological struggle, Lu Shaoyun turned back and shouted at the monster: "Hey, ugly monster, I'm here, come and eat me!" ”
I wanted to distract the monster, but I didn't think it had too many eyes, which didn't affect it in the slightest while looking at the meat in its mouth while staring at the target not far away.
Lu Shaoyun thought to himself that this was over, so he gave it for nothing.
I saw that the monster let go of a tentacle, deformed and elongated, and rushed straight to Lu Shaoyun's side, while Shangguan Xiao was still tied up by the rest of the tentacles and couldn't move.
But Lu Shaoyun quickly noticed the long knife dropped by Shangguan Xiao, so he shouted: "What is the password?" ”
Shangguan Xiao glanced sideways at him, with a question mark on his face.
"Make the knife smaller!" Lu Shaoyun shouted again.
But time was pressing, and he couldn't explain too much, so he stomped his heart and feet, and rushed head-on, and at the moment when the tentacles touched, he dodged with a sliding shovel and picked up the long knife on the ground.
Shangguan Xiao also seemed to understand something, and said "Juhe" in his mouth, and the long knife immediately shrank and became smaller into a pendant.
At this time, the tentacles that fluttered in the air had already turned back, facing Lu Shaoyun!
At this critical moment, Lu Shaoyun aimed at the monster's open bloody mouth and threw the pendant into its dark and deep throat.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiao recited another incantation, and a long knife pierced the monster's throat from the inside, and the tentacles instantly became limp and weak, and with the last wail, the monster's blood was splashed on the spot, and it was lifeless.
Shangguan Xiao in mid-air was about to fall, Lu Shaoyun wanted to pick it up, and then rotate 360 degrees in place to deepen her affectionate gaze, but found that she had already stood firmly and went to pull out her knife.
Lu Shaoyun thought of the team again, turned to look, but found that they had long since disappeared.
Run so fast! Touching and heartfelt master-apprentice love!
But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong, if the purpose of their trip is to escort themselves, why didn't they care about themselves? Lu Shaoyun suddenly remembered the box Zhong Ming was holding, maybe the contents of this box were the purpose of their trip, so it seemed that escorting themselves was just a cover to hide people's eyes and ears.
……
Outside the Great Wall on the border, Xuan Chen and the three of them had already walked to the outside of the city gate.
"Master, are they really okay?" Zhong Ming looked worried, "Senior sister, she ......"
Xuanchen stopped, took the bronze ancient box in his arms, took out a cloth bag from his body and put it in, and stuffed a few pieces of clothing to fill it.
After finishing it, he said to Zhong Ming: "You have to believe your senior sister, she has never disappointed me, that kid should not die with her protection." Remember, what is the key to our trip, he is just part of the additional plan, even if he is missing, we must first deliver this thing safely to Junyang, understand? ”
"Yes, disciple understands." Zhong Ming nodded cautiously.
……
Lu Shaoyun gently kicked the broken bronze horse and said, "It seems that you can only walk, you should know the way, right?" ”
There was no response, as soon as he looked up, he found that Shangguan Xiao had already walked away alone, so he had to trot all the way to follow: "You wait for me!" ”
The small road has slowly turned into a spacious road, and seeing that she didn't say a word along the way, Lu Shaoyun wanted to break the silence, so he said, "By the way, what kind of monster was that just now?" It's scary too. ”
Seeing that she still walked forward without saying a word, Lu Shaoyun had no choice but to say, "Isn't it, so cold?" You who go to the rivers and lakes treat your life-savers like this? ”
The agitation seemed to work, she stopped, turned around, and with a hint of sarcasm, said, "What do you want me to do?" Pledge in person? ”
Lu Shaoyun was stunned for a moment, and got off the donkey down the slope and said, "Also...... No, no, no. ”
But after thinking about her fierce appearance, she still stopped, so she changed the topic: "At least answer my first question first, right?" ”
"Ink Void." Shangguan Xiao continued to walk and said without looking back.
"What?"
"The name of the monster."
"By the way, does your knife have a name? Good...... Cool. ”
"Without a trace."
"Can you give me a good look then?"
"Nope."
"Voice-activated password, oh no, what's the spell? Anyway, how do you make it bigger and smaller? ”
"No comment."
"Oh, and ......"
Lu Shaoyun closed his mouth, because at this time, a knife was across his shoulder, and the blade was only 0.03 cm away from his neck.
Lu Shaoyun consciously raised his hands in surrender, but after thinking about it, the other party might not understand what it meant, so he put it down again, and bluntly said that he would not talk much anymore.
Shangguan Xiao withdrew the knife and continued to hurry.
Before they knew it, the sky was already gray, and the two had come to a gate on the Great Wall on the border.
Lu Shaoyun looked up, the Great Wall was magnificent, like a lying dragon, stretching to the end of the line of sight, which was terrifying.
Lu Shaoyun also noticed that there were many soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, wearing armor and being fully armed.
The city gate was opened on one side, no one greeted them, and the two entered the city, Lu Shaoyun found that except for the soldiers on duty at night, the remaining two rows were all bronze figurines, which were similar in appearance to terracotta warriors, but they were made of bronze.
Looking at these figurines, Lu Shaoyun remembered that the people patrolling the city wall were probably the same as these guys, bronze robots? The thought popped into his head.
For these, Shangguan Xiao was no longer surprised, and continued to move forward.
"That's right......" Lu Shaoyun wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to follow silently.
After walking for a while, the sky is already white.
They came to a castle with the words "Izumo Castle" written on it.
Entering the city, some vendors began to set up stalls, and the number of pedestrians gradually increased.
Shangguan Xiao stopped at an inn and walked in.
Lu Shaoyun raised his head, the plaque on it said "Fulin Inn", thinking that he finally had a place to rest, after a night of driving and horses, and all kinds of fright, he was already physically and mentally exhausted.
Now, he just wants to get a good night's sleep in bed.
He thought that after entering, he would meet Xuanchen and them, who were already waiting, but except for the shopkeeper Xiaoer and Shangguan Xiao, who was going upstairs, and the shopkeeper who was settling accounts at the counter, there was no one else, maybe they were all asleep.
He followed upstairs and hurriedly asked the shopkeeper, "Where is my room?" ”
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This guest officer wants housing?" Then please go to the shopkeeper with me to register. ”
"Yes, no, I'm with that girl." Lu Shaoyun pointed to Shangguan Xiao, who was walking towards the door of his room.
"I'm sorry officer, that girl only paid one person's money, and if you want to stay, you need to pay another money." The shopkeeper is still smirking professionally.
After hearing this, Lu Shaoyun walked straight to Shangguan Xiao, who was about to close the door, risked being held by the knife, and said, "No, where do I sleep?" ”
Shangguan Xiao ignored it and closed the door.
