Chapter 6: A Moment of Life and Death
In the depths of the dense forest, more than a dozen people frantically chased the four black spots in the distance as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, their faces full of excitement and greed.
These people are all the deacons of the outer gate of the Ji family, and tonight the main forces of the Su Ji family went to the Tang family to snatch the artifact, and a little minions like them were not qualified, so they had to go to the mountains to hunt the black yin muntjac and fight the tooth sacrifice, but they didn't expect to win the lottery and meet Su Xueruo.
"This, she's running really fast." A dwarf man in the crowd muttered.
"If it were me, I would run too, lest you catch me and be a press lady"
I don't know who answered this, and the crowd erupted in laughter. The dwarf felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, so he said: "It's not all to blame on the bamboo monkey, if he didn't want to take the credit alone, he was beaten by Su Xueruo, and we are all receiving the reward at this time." ”
"Come on! If it weren't for my sharp eyes, you wouldn't have received a share of the prize tonight. The bamboo monkey was a little shy, but he didn't fall into the wind.
"Okay, don't make any noise, you can only get the reward if you catch it, don't let the cooked duck fly." A fat-headed and big-eared man spoke out to relieve the bamboo monkey. This man is the cousin of the bamboo monkey, and he has the highest status among all the people here, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the rest of the people closed their mouths in amusement.
The conversation stopped, and everyone sped up, and the four black dots in the distance gradually became clear.
"Damn, I'm not dazzled, am I? There was a courtyard floating behind them. The dwarf took a sip and said.
Seeing the floating courtyard, everyone's faces became solemn. Because everyone knows that dead things will only move on their own when they are born with spiritual intelligence, and if that courtyard really has spiritual intelligence, at least a thousand years of cultivation, they are not opponents combined.
The fat-headed and big-eared man turned around and glanced at the bamboo monkey viciously, but the information provided by the bamboo monkey did not include this courtyard.
The bamboo monkey lowered his head and defended: "I fought with them, and that yard only can fly, but there is no intelligence. ”
Hearing the bamboo monkey say this, everyone's faces were a little better, but out of caution, they still sent a signal to the clan, informing the strong people in the clan to come quickly.
Distance. Li Xingxing didn't pay attention to his feet, he stumbled and fell to the ground, simply lay on the ground and didn't move, saying, "I can't run." ”
Hearing this, Su Xueruo and Lin Jiayu both stopped. Su Xueruo looked at the barren courtyard behind Lin Jiayu with the same movements as them with an iron face, and asked, "Really didn't get anything?" ”
Lin Jiayu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I didn't get anything." ”
"Hell." Su Xueruo scolded. She felt like she was going crazy, with such a big yard following behind all the time, how could she escape?
Lin Jiayu was also helpless. Ever since the secret passage was smashed, the barren courtyard was like an emotionless ghost, floating behind him all the time, and wherever he went, the courtyard floated away, and he didn't listen to him.
"What now?" Lin Jiayu asked.
"Run to the beach and run away." Su Xueruo gritted her teeth and said.
"How far is it?" Lin Jiayu asked.
"More than thirty miles." Su Xueruo said.
"I can't run." Li Xingxing pouted and said.
"If you can't run, you have to run, and if you are caught by them, you will be worse than death." Su Xueruo threatened.
Li Xingxing closed his eyes, buried his head in the fallen leaves, and said, "Then die!" I really can't run. ”
Su Xueruo's eyebrows were upside down, and she just wanted to reprimand, but Lin Jiayu stopped her and said, "I'll carry it on my back for a while!" Duck from the pursuers first. ”
Originally, the speed of the three of them was not fast, but Lin Jiayu carried Li Xingxing on his back, and the speed was even slower. It didn't take long for a group of dwarfs and bamboo monkeys to catch up.
"Miss Xueruo, I'm glad to see you in Xia Ji." The fat-headed and big-eared man intercepted Su Xueruo and said.
Su Xueruo glanced at the badge on his chest and found that it was a deacon of the outer gate of the Ji family, so he said angrily: "Get out of the way, you are not my opponent." ”
Ji Jian shook his head and said, "Miss Xueruo, you can look down on me, if I could draw with you, I would have been promoted to the inner gate to take care of things." I'm just trying to persuade Miss Xue Ruo to rest here. ”
Su Xueruo heard the meaning of his words, and instantly hated it. There are already more than a dozen people on the other side, and they have also made it clear that they want to play scoundrels with themselves and play wheel wars and fight for help, which is shameless.
"Despicable." Su Xueruo scolded while taking out a soft whip from his waist and attacking Ji Jian. Ji saw a hard fight, and then he was defeated, took two steps back, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"Let's go together, the bamboo monkey blocks the killing move." Thistle saw that he rolled up his sleeves and wiped the blood off his lips and commanded.
Although they will not be of the same mind in the face of interests, the dozen or so of them have been doing tasks together all year round, and their cooperation is still quite tacit. Under the command of thistle, more than a dozen people quickly stood in position, attacking and defending the alliance, while the bamboo monkey stood behind the side, ready to block the deadly move for his partner at any time.
Su Xueruo attacked more than a dozen moves in a row, and each move was defused by the opposite side, just like hitting cotton. Su Xueruo felt very depressed, but more desperate. She alone, her physical strength is far inferior to the dozen or so people opposite, even if there are no reinforcements on the opposite side, she will be defeated sooner or later.
"Let them go, I'll go with you, the artifact is in my hands." Lin Jiayu's voice suddenly sounded from behind Su Xueruo.
Oh, my God! How could there be such a stupid person, exposing the artifact, and without the use value, we would all die, okay? Su Xueruo thought in surprise, and she couldn't wait to take a piece of cloth to plug Lin Jiayu's mouth immediately.
Distracted, Su Xueruo's arm was immediately cut out, and blood flowed straight out. She turned around and glared at Lin Jiayu and motioned for him to shut up.
Seeing that Su Xueruo was injured, the morale of more than a dozen deacons of the Ji family was boosted and they began to fight back against Su Xueruo. The intensive offensive was coming, and Su Xueruo hurriedly cheered up to deal with it.
Seeing that his side had the upper hand temporarily, Ji Ji took out two steel knives from his waist and threw them at Lin Jiayu and Li Xingxing's necks without thinking about it. In his heart, he didn't take Lin Jiayu's words seriously at all, he only felt that Lin Jiayu was too noisy.
Su Xueruo heard the sound of the wind, avoided the oncoming spear, flicked the long whip, wrapped the steel knife thrown at Li Xingxing, and threw it on the trunk of the tree on the side with some skill. The other steel knife flew straight towards Lin Jiayu's neck because no one stopped it, and by the time Su Xueruo found out, it was too late, and the steel knife had already flown to Lin Jiayu's neck.
"Get out of the way." Su Xueruo shouted.
Seeing something flying towards him, Lin Jiayu also wanted to hide, but his brain reacted, but his body didn't. Just when the steel knife was about to touch his skin, he felt the wind on the blade, and Lin Jiayu only had time to do one thing - close his eyes.
