Chapter 17: Scheming
At the top of the lonely mountain, a small platform was leveled, and behind the platform was a steep straight cliff. At this point, the road is over.
A young man dressed in white leaned on the rock, silently pranayama. The young man's body was stained with blood, and his originally neat hair was scattered. There was a white cloth wrapped around his chest, and blood oozed from time to time.
This person is the person who is in the same boat as Wu Gan, and the original handsome and quiet is gone, and he is a little embarrassed at this time.
The bald man who had been following him sat beside the young man in a dejected manner, his left arm had been broken, and his body was full of wounds, some of which had festered. Even so, the strong man still stared around vigilantly, unconcerned about his injuries.
Since reaching the top of the mountain, five or six groups of people have been robbed and killed, and the corpses have all been thrown down the mountain. After waiting for so long, and no one came, the two of them relaxed a little and walked out of their hiding place to rest.
With a whoosh, a feathered arrow flew and headed straight for the boy.
The strong man snorted and slashed at the arrow with one palm. With a loud bang, the arrow landed at the boy's feet.
"He Fangxiao, come out." The strong man shouted and looked around, but he did not leave the young man's side to meet the enemy. The young man was seriously injured, and if the other party used a means to divert the tiger from the mountain, wouldn't it put him in danger.
The second arrow flew over, still directed at the boy. Compared to Fang Cai's arrow, the arrow of this arrow is thicker and flies a little slower.
On weekdays, such means would be no threat to the two of them, but today they are both seriously injured, and the other party is aware of this and provokes one after another. The strong man was a little angry, grabbed the flying feather arrow, and threw it on the ground hard.
With a bang, the arrow suddenly exploded, and a faint fragrance came.
"It's not good, this arrow is different, hold your breath." The boy shouted, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve.
The bald man could no longer hold back, and rushed to the edge of the cliff to try to find the person who had released the arrow.
As soon as they reached the edge of the cliff, a face, half a face to be exact, emerged from the bottom of the cliff, and under the face was a mass of slimy carrion, which was none other than the monster on the mountainside.
"Evil animals, there are even fish that have slipped through the net." The strong man punched a straight fist, hitting the monster, this thing is extremely difficult, although the combat power is not very high, but the recovery ability is very strong, if you can't kill it at one time, it is very troublesome, so this punch is also used with all your strength.
The monster's body can't even penetrate with arrows, but at this time it was punched out of a big hole, which shows the strength of the strong man's arm.
Before he could close his fist, a black shadow jumped out from under the monster, and his elbow slammed into the strong man's heart. The strong man only had one arm left at this time, and he didn't close his fist just now, and his chest was fully open, and he was hit by a solid elbow.
The heart is the source of blood and energy, and if ordinary people are hit hard, they will have to worry about their lives. The strong man is a practitioner who has practiced martial arts for many years, and the general penetration attack does not have much impact on him, but he is seriously injured today, his qi and blood are in chaos, and his body protection is completely lost.
When an elbow hit, the strong man's eyes turned black for a while, his throat was sweet, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Just as he wanted to retreat, the sneak attacker was as cunning as an ape, swam to his neck, his legs tightly twisted around his neck, twisted it hard, and the strong man fell to the ground, and a knife was pressed against his neck.
Wu Yan held the knife and said in a low voice: "Don't move." ”
The strong man roared, and he was desperate to get up even if he was injured. Wu Yan leaned back, his legs strangled his neck and fell back, one hand slapped on his open mouth, and a small pill fell into the strong man's mouth.
Suddenly, Wu Ganhan's hair stood on end, the strong wind came from behind him, and he didn't have time to turn his head, so he lay on his back and fell to the ground, and then rolled on the spot. With a pop, a three-foot silver sword was stuck on the ground beside him.
Before Wu Jian could get up, the silver sword flew up from the earth, soared into the air, and returned to the right hand of the white-clothed young man.
Standing up and protecting him with a knife, Wu Gen looked coldly at the white-clothed young man opposite: "If you want to die, you don't have to be in such a hurry." ”
The white-clothed young man slowly got up with the rocks beside him, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, don't misunderstand, but you are here for Wuhua Stone, please take it yourself." He gestured to a platform behind him.
Looking at what the other party was pointing at, on a square stone platform, there was a piece of multicolored jade, which was the necessary thing for this trial, Wuhua stone.
The strong man who fell to the ground got up at this time, turned around and went straight to Wu Gan. After just running two or three steps, his body stumbled, and he fell to the ground and passed out. It would be strange if a drug with a magic incense can't be put down.
Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the young man in white with a playful expression, this person felt very dangerous to himself, even more than the strong man on the ground. "Since you're already here, why don't you take this jade jade." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the silver sword in the young man's hand, this sword can be volleyed in the air, and it should also be a good treasure.
The young man spread his hands, but he was also calm, "Originally, I wanted to use this as bait to attract people to come, and I also won more waist cards, but I didn't want to end up overturning." You need not doubt it, but you will know it. What kind of medicine is it and why is it so powerful? As he spoke, he pointed to the strong man on the ground.
"Huanxi Maru, I think you know it too. After taking this medicine, no matter how strong your ability is, you have to lie down obediently. ”
"That's what the second arrow hid in."
"Not bad." Wu Gen walked to the stone platform with a knife in one hand, and when he passed by the boy, he suddenly asked, "What's your name?" ”
The young man was stunned, and he didn't know why the other party had this question, but he still replied honestly: "It's really in Xialin." ”
"Oh." Wu Yan was noncommittal and walked to the stone platform. tightened the burden on his body, and reached out and slowly touched the stone platform. Suddenly, his body turned suddenly, and he slashed down with a broken knife. With a ding, the silver sword was cut off.
Without waiting for the silver sword to fall, Wu Yan rushed to the side of the white-clothed young man in one step. With a twist of the wrist, the blade was already on the opponent's neck. At the same time, his body turned behind the young man, and one hand grabbed the opponent's shoulder, guarding against the attack of the sword.
"The second time I asked you, do you want to die?" Wu Gen said coldly.
The young man sighed, his body stiffened, "The Huanxi Pill is indeed a prestigious drug on the rivers and lakes, and after being poisoned by this poison, it is not even good to control the sword." I admit it, how can I be spared. The words are quite calm, without dragging the mud and water, and directly talking about the conditions, but quite a bachelor.
"Why did I let you go, you have tried to take my life twice, what makes you so confident."
"My guards are going to kill you just now, don't you also have no dead hands, so I think there is something to talk about. You see. ”
"Huh." Wu Yan laughed and put his mouth to his ear, "You are quite good at grasping people's hearts, but your life is not good, and I am a little annoyed today." It's even more annoying to see your face where everything is in your hands. I just asked you for your name, so that I could help you engrave your name on the tombstone. ”
The young man smiled, "I see people very accurately, you are not the kind of person who is extremely vicious, but how much price can make your heart move." ”
With a "poof", the broken knife was inserted into the young man's right arm, so that the opponent's right hand would not be killed with a sword.
Wu Ganyin said compassionately, "I think you guessed wrong, do you know how many people I killed on the way to death." For a man like you, who is quite deep and cold-hearted, I am afraid that I will have to put a knife next to my pillow when I stay. ”
The corners of the young man's mouth twitched, "I admit defeat, as long as I spare my life, everything is easy to say." Although I had a motive to kill you, I didn't succeed after all. I, Lin Ruoshi, swear to the sky, after today, you and I are passers-by, and there is no grievance. This person simply opened his mouth and begged for mercy calmly.
"Okay. Give me the waist cards you collected, and I want to use your means to save a lot along the way. ”
"Yes." The young man's jaw moved slightly, and he motioned for Wu Gen to take away a box beside him.
Wu Yan smiled and pointed to the silver sword that fell to the ground in the distance, "That sword is a little weird, but it can be volleyed in the air, how did you get it, and what method did you use." Get it over, but don't try to play tricks, or I'll see if my sword is faster, or yours is faster. ”
The young man pondered for a moment, "This is my family tradition, and I can't tell you." With two fingers out of his left hand and a muttered word, the sword flew crookedly from the ground. When they arrived in front of the two, the tip of the sword was outwards and the hilt was facing backwards.
Wu Yan grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand, inserted it into the crack in the stone on his side, and with a force, the silver sword broke into two.
A look of regret appeared on the young man's face, and he quickly turned calm: "The sword is destroyed, you can let me go." ”
Wu Yan let go of the boy and slashed him the neck. The boy rolled his eyes and fell to the ground and fainted.
When he opened the box next to him, there were more than 100 waist cards inside, which meant that so many people had died in the hands of Lin Ruoshi.
Wu Gen nodded, sure enough, the robbery still has to eat a big family, and there is more money for less things. After searching the boy again, he found two more Wuhua stones.
When going up the mountain, Wu Jian had found that there were four roads up the mountain, and there should be a Wuhua stone at the end of each road. The Wuhua stone on the young man's body should have been obtained by taking the other two paths.
Looking at the two people who fell to the ground, Wu Jian raised his hand to break the knife, and he still understood the principle of cutting grass and eradicating the roots. But after a long time, he put it down again. If you are at war with others, you don't have any psychological burden, but you really can't do anything about people who have lost their combat power and are killed, and you can't get over the hurdle in your heart.
"Well, forget it. Anyway, I have taken away your waist card, and I can't become a Chinese person, so I shouldn't have anything to do with each other from now on. Even if there are changes, let's talk about the future later. Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Wu Yan hurried down the mountain.
When he arrived at the hiding place, Sun Hong was still asleep. The route that had not yet been shown on the waist card, Wu Yan shrank his body, squinted and dozed.
In a daze, the sound of people moving in the distance was heard.
Wu Yan slowed down his breathing, slowly poked his head out, and secretly looked out.
Lin Ruoshi and the strong man supported each other and slowly walked down the mountain. The strong man was also carrying a box on his back, which was quite heavy and obviously contained a lot of things.
Wu Yan immediately understood that he was still deceived by Lin Ruoshi, and he still had a waist card on his body, but he didn't know where he was hiding at that time.
As for going out to snatch, Wu Jian had no idea at all. Combined, these two fought head-on, and they had no chance of winning, so they couldn't give away the waist card they had just gotten.
Seeing the two of them far away, Wu Jian silently read three words in his heart, Lin Ruoshi.
