Volume 2 The Remnant of Time Chapter 77 The advantage is in me
The night is dark, but the mountain road of Nishihara Peak is very lively.
From time to time, a procession of about a dozen people crawled along the mountain road with a prisoner cart full of slaves.
For the bandits of the Ghost Crow Village, the people in these prisoner cars are their trophies, and they rely on them to ask for credit from the cottage.
For the slaves held in the prison van, it was a path to death.
Most of them had already experienced their initial fears, and had screamed hoarsely for mercy and cries at the bandits who were escorting them, but they were often responded to by barbed whips or punches and kicks amid cursing.
Most of them are also bandits, and they have also done murder and extortion, of course they are not good people, but even the most vicious of them can hardly be like these thieves in the ghost crow village-
In the eyes of these bandits in the Crow Village, it seems that they and these slaves are not the same kind at all.
In their eyes, these slaves seem to be just prey, tormented by any means, beaten for their own amusement.
Unfortunately, Cao Shun was one of these slaves.
He is a villager in a small cottage on the Black Cat Peak, and the whole village is just a white person, and in the face of the request of the ghost crow village to hand over twenty people as crow slaves every day, the cottage has no ability to resist at all.
And there is also no determination to compete with the ghost crow village, so everyone in the cottage discussed hiding in the mountains to see if they could avoid the limelight, but Cao Shun was accidentally injured in the process of escaping and was caught by the bandits of the ghost crow village.
He also cried and begged for mercy, but after a few punches and kicks, he could only accept this fate.
He thought that this was probably the most tragic thing a person could suffer, and that falling into the hands of this group of people was tantamount to falling into hell.
How he wished it was just a dream, and when he opened his eyes, it would all go away and he could run away from it.
But what he couldn't have imagined was that someone took the initiative to jump into such a purgatory that others could not avoid.
This kind of thing brought Cao Shun a shock that was difficult to eliminate for a long time, even if the prisoner car had already reached the middle of the mountain road, he still stared at the man and two women squatting in front of him, and his eyebrows were full of confusion.
He remembered that when he came to the foot of Xiyuan Peak, the group of bandits from the ghost crow village stopped to rest, drinking wine and eating meat, and talking loudly.
At that time, Cao Shun had not eaten a drop of water for a day, and he was beaten several times by the bandits of the ghost crow village, and his body was extremely weak, he leaned on the wooden fence of the prisoner car, his eyes were dull, and his mind was drowsy.
The crow slaves who were caught around were in a worse state than the others, and they were all tortured by a lot of inhuman torture before that.
At this moment, the three black shadows bowed and cautiously touched the front of the prisoner cart, and one of them made a silent gesture towards them, and then took out the hairpin that he had found nowhere, and after a careful operation, opened the door lock of the prisoner cart.
Although the people who were locked in the prison car did not recognize these three people, when they saw them open the prison door and secretly thought that they had been saved, their faces were happy, and they were very cooperative and did not make a sound.
And at the moment when the door opened, Cao Shun, who was about to flee, saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
The three men who had crept up and had gone to great lengths to open the door of the prison had rushed in, got into the cart, closed the locks of the cart, and stayed in.
For the crow slaves who had just seen hope, the actions of these three uninvited guests were undoubtedly shattering their only hope of escape.
Even if they all knew that this so-called hope was actually given by these three people.
That's how people have always been.
They only care about what they get, but they never think about who gave it.
And once he gives, he does not give anymore.
Then this former gift will become a grudge as if it had been robbed.
The prisoners, who had given up hope, began to agitate, some just cursed and complained, while others were already breathing fire in their eyes and ready to act.
It was only a little before one of the three of them lit up a snow-white sword and held it against the throat of the man who tried to do it.
"We are here to save people, let us blend into the ghost crow village, you have a chance to live, if you want to make trouble at this time, I promise, you will die in front of us." The man said.
Her voice was soft, and she sounded like a young woman, but there was a chill in her voice.
And as soon as she said this, several silver rays of light poured out from above her snow-white sword, escaping under their clothes, clinging to their skin, and a chill instantly spread throughout their bodies, and everyone suddenly felt their scalps tingle.
"This thing is poisonous, if you do anything wrong, this thing will pass through your heart, so that your meridians will be shattered and die, if you want to seek a glimmer of life, please know the current affairs!"
In short, under such coercion and temptation, in this way, these three people inexplicably got into the prisoner car, became prisoners, and were sent to the ghost crow village with Cao Shun and others.
……
"This ghost crow village does look a bit of a doorway." Ziyu's eyes widened, and she looked around.
"If you go in like this, don't talk about saving people, we're afraid that we will not be able to go back."
At this moment, they had reached the second half of the mountain road, and almost every other distance there were a number of patrolling ghost crow village bandits, heavily guarded.
It is really very different from the rabble that Ziyu imagined that stragglers gathered together.
"The ghost crow village has an almost crushing dominance in this Taixuan Mountain, and ordinary cottages don't dare to provoke at all, but at this moment, this appearance is quite like the posture of facing a great enemy, and it seems that the matter of summoning the outer gods has reached the most critical point." Chu Qingxiao also took over the conversation at this time, and at the same time lowered his head and carefully looked at the surrounding layout with his residual vision.
"I don't know what the specific combat power of their village is, let's go in like this, we found Yuejian and Huang Commander, and if you want to escape with them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb to the sky." Chu Zhaozhao said with some concern.
Chu Qingxiao also frowned when he heard this.
Their entire rescue plan, in the final analysis, is that there is no plan, this is not that Chu Qingxiao is reckless, but that the advent ceremony of the outer god may happen at any time, Yuejian's life is in danger, he has no time to plan carefully, he can only take one step at a time.
"So, why don't we leave." Ziyu on the side obviously realized this, and she blinked her eyes and said so.
"Anyway, we've also gone on a trip, it's not that we don't work hard, it's really that the opponent is too strong, you see our current appearance, go back and say that we have experienced a bloody battle, and I can't find fault with the old blind man, and I come and go to earn a good sword for nothing, it's not bad!"
It's just that Ziyu thought that it was a very constructive proposal, but she didn't get a response from the two people in front of her at all.
Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao got together, and while continuing to observe the cottage in the distance, they discussed with a serious face.
"Just now I heard those bandits in the ghost crow village talk about the ghost cage and the crow prison, it seems that the crow slaves who were captured were placed in these two realms, if we enter the ghost crow village, it is most appropriate to start from these two places, first find the moon and the yellow commander, and then find a way to escape from the back of the mountain, the guards there may be relatively weak." Chu Qingxiao said.
"Hmm...... It seems that this is the only way for now, but I am thinking that we may be able to use these crow slaves ......," Chu Zhaozhao whispered.
"There are more than 2,000 crow slaves captured from various cottages in a day, and it is impossible for all of these crow slaves to be sacrificed, most of them should still be imprisoned in the ghost crow village, and we may be able to use them to find an opportunity to escape from the ghost crow village."
"Huh? What do you mean? Chu Qingxiao asked a little strangely.
"If we can release them from their cells, they will definitely try to escape from the cottage if they get this opportunity, and the scene will be chaotic at that time, and we may have the possibility of escaping alive."
Chu Zhaozhao said so, compared to Chu Qingxiao's plan that can almost be summarized as acting at the opportunistic, it is quite decent.
It's just that they discussed it vigorously, but Ziyu, who was almost ignored on the side, was a little annoyed.
"You're thinking beautifully, aren't those dungeons guarded? Why do you go in and let out thousands of people? Ziyu said with a sneer.
Although she did have the intention of retaliating against the two of them for ignoring her, she did remind the two of them that the cage where thousands of people were imprisoned could not be guarded by guards, and if they couldn't kill all the guards at the first time, as long as one of them gave a warning, the entire ghost crow village would probably look at the wind, so it seemed that their whole plan was indeed more like talking on paper.
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao and Chu Zhaozhao suddenly looked ugly.
"So, I think we should escape first while we haven't gone deep into the hinterland of the ghost crow village, this is really a sheep's mouth......" Ziyu said at this time while the iron was hot.
Before he finished speaking, Cao Shun, who had been carefully observing the three of them on the side, plucked up his courage and said at that time: "Actually, ......"
"The prison of the Ghost Crow Village is generally ...... There is no guard. ”
Cao Shun is a smart man.
Although he was also a little disappointed that he had lost the opportunity to escape at the foot of the mountain, he understood better that the opportunity was given by the three people in front of him, and if he wanted to have another chance to live, holding the thighs of these three people was the most important thing.
Obviously, this is not something that can be done with two sycophants or a few kind words.
He had to prove his worth.
"Huh?" Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the three of Chu Qingxiao, who were arguing, cast their eyes at him at the same time.
Facing the eyes of the three people, Cao Shun swallowed his saliva a little nervously, but still pretended to be calm and said: "You don't know, but if you enter the ghost crow village, everyone's body will be branded with a crow slave mark. ”
"This crow slave mark is extremely magical, once it is branded with this seal, as long as there is a slight movement, it will be sensed by the crow god who branded this seal, even if it escapes to the ends of the earth, it will also be captured by the people of the ghost crow village, so for the ghost crow village, it is probably not necessary to send too many people to take care of those crow slaves."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhaozhao's face suddenly became ugly.
She naturally inevitably thought of what she had encountered when she first arrived at Goshawk Village, the group of crow slaves who also escaped from the ghost crow village had clearly seen the hope of survival, but because of the existence of the crow slave seal, they were caught alive again, and they could only watch, and they didn't dare to save them.
If Yuejian also has the existence of the crow slave seal on their bodies, even if they really rescue Yuejian and the others, the people of the ghost crow village will always be able to find them, unless they can catch up with them in the ghost crow village and take people away from Taixuan Mountain, it is best to go to Tianhang Mountain to seek Zhao Nianshuang's protection, but Taixuan Mountain is already a long mountain, and the Xiyuan Peak where the ghost crow village is located is at least a day and a night away from Cangzhou, plus now there is a blockade by the imperial army, this matter seems to be difficult, and it is almost impossible to find half of the hope of success.
"Raven Slave Seal? It sounds like a demon seed planted by an outer god in the believer's body. Ziyu also frowned at this time and took over the conversation, realizing the seriousness of the problem, she also had no intention of going against the two, and analyzed with a calm face: "If they want to use the demon seed to summon the outer gods, then the more powerful the cultivation is planted in the person, the more significant the effect will be." ”
"Your two friends seem to have cultivation outside the three or four realms, I think they must be the object of the focus of the ghost crow village, they have a slight change, I am afraid that the owner of the demon seed will be aware of it, and will send someone to hunt down at the first time, I think this matter really needs to be considered in the long run......"
This time, Ziyu said it seriously, but she didn't have the slightest intention of joking with everyone again.
When Cao Shun on the side heard this, his heart was faintly excited.
These three people seem to have some skills, but they don't know much about the ghost crow village, and they have undoubtedly shown their own value, if they still want to find another opportunity to enter the ghost crow village, and leave with him, a person who is familiar with the information of the ghost crow village, it is obviously a good choice.
With such a thought, Cao Shun suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the three of them, and was about to say some more news about the ghost crow village that he heard about to show his value.
The young man who seemed to be the head of the three suddenly looked at Cao Shun and said gratefully: "More big brother to guide the maze, if it weren't for what Fang just said, we would have encountered a lot of trouble when we went to the ghost crow village in a situation where we didn't know anything." ”
Cao Shun was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he was ecstatic, and secretly said that this kid was on the road.
"It's all a gesture, little brother, you are young, but you are chivalrous and courageous, for the sake of your friends, you dare to break into this Longtan tiger's den, it is really admirable, but the situation in the ghost crow village is complicated, and it is really not appropriate to venture into ......"
Just when Cao Shun was getting better, he was almost about to announce the words of taking him away with him.
The young man suddenly turned his head to look at the cottage that was getting closer and closer to them in the distance, and spoke again.
"I already felt that this trip was reckless, and my heart was resigned, but fortunately, I met my eldest brother and had such important news to tell me......"
"I just know that this trip is a godsend, and the advantage is mine, so I can't go!"
Cao Shun: "Huh?!" ”
