Chapter 64: The Rainstorm

The rain at the southern foot of the Ling Mountains is getting heavier and heavier. As soon as the dark clouds flashed in the sky, brilliant sparks of thunder and lightning rolled on the tops of the mountains. The terrible thunderclap made people's ears buzz, and people held their breath and did not dare to raise their voices to the thunder.

The rushing raindrops poured on his body in a burst.

At that time, the fugitives had been entering this dangerous canyon for some time.

There is no way to escape from the canyon, there are only two directions, front and back, and in principle it is more dangerous than the woods.

But in the woods, Gu Chuan also thought that they would definitely be caught by the city guards, so what was the difference between the seemingly more dangerous canyons and those seemingly safe woods, flat land, and wild land?

It's all bound to be caught.

The only difference is in the topography. The canyon is undoubtedly the most rugged.

They have very little time, and very few opportunities.

"What do you think we should do?" Chu Yun asked Gu Chuan and said seriously, "I believe in you, I listen to you." ”

"Then it's troublesome!"

The young man who was running away was obviously extremely nervous in his heart, but now when he heard this, Yun Danfeng actually showed a triumphant smile on the surface, which made Chu Yun suddenly feel that this was still a fool.

"Speaking of which, Hatsuun, can you climb the cliff?"

Gu Chuan asked.

Hatsuyun's physical function has long surpassed that of humans, and it is not difficult to climb the cliff.

She nodded.

"So can you crack the cliff?"

It's a strange request.

"According to the power I have learned...... "I think of what she has done to imitate the wind of heaven," she said, "and it is probably possible." ”

"Then I want to ask you, first climb from the canyon to the top, and when the pursuers catch up with us, it will be the river above the valley that we saw from a distance, can we break all the rocks nearby?"

"Why is that?"

Hatsumo was puzzled.

"It's a bit tricky to explain, and I don't know if it's going to work...... And the pursuers may be just around the corner. If something goes wrong, it's better to snipe your pursuers from above than to face them from below. ”

"That's true."

Hatsuyun pondered. The means she learned inexplicably from Shangtong Tianfeng are indeed very suitable for long-range shooting.

Hatsuun soon ascended to a high place. Gu Chuan and the toeless man continued to walk forward with the carriage.

The mountains were so dim that only when lightning occasionally shone brightly, the heavens and the earth would suddenly shine for a moment, as if the sun had fallen into the clouds, and the edges of all the clouds would be obvious. Then it suddenly dimmed, and everything returned to the haze of the Heavenly Mirror Aurora. With this light, Gu Chuan saw that the strange rainbow light was arranging and reflecting in a distant place, refracting and scattering in the raindrops until it diffused, like a mist of light. In a few moments, the light that escaped from the edges rushed into the sky, successfully creating a continuous grating fence.

"It's ...... Heavy prism on all four sides. ”

He happened to know about this strange thing.

This strange thing was used in the Fifth Twilight War, and in Mr. De's account, four heavy prisms once surrounded the defeated rebel army. The bodies of all the rebels who tried to escape were reduced to ashes after crashing into the grating at the edge.

Two horses neighed in the ears of the contemplative man.

Gu Chuan turned his spirits, and the toeless man reminded him that the wheels of the carriage had fallen into the pit.

"Ah, I'm in trouble again...... Ha ha! ”

The young man let out a long breath.

"It's hard!"

Then he leaned back and laughed.

In Sunset City's art of war, both sides of this encounter are the most dangerous and difficult all-blind battles.

The first is to not know the strange means of the opposite. Then there are strange things that the other side may not know but may know about us, then in the worst and least visible weather, and finally in the dangerous wilderness where the terrain is unknown.

No one knows what will happen next.

For a seasoned general, he would never be willing to take a risk.

At that time, as far as the commander of the field army was concerned, he thought that it would be most appropriate to surround it with four heavy prisms first, and then wait for the opportunity to clear up and use strange objects to search.

There were only three of the enemy, and they couldn't fly. And we have people, and the problem of supply, it's a big deal to ask the Sixth Engineering Corps to open a supply line and directly turn to a long line. His Majesty also issued a large number of orders for the use of strange objects.

It's just that the tremor stone around his waist is still ringing again and again, always reminding him of his impatient will.

"Scout, how's it going?"

The chief sighed, and could only be reckless.

The Scout uses a telescope-like curiosity. In the field of view of this telescope curiosity, the light in the depths of the rift valley presents a vivid red, yellow, and blue halo that requires special training to recognize. He reported to the field commander:

"They're just ahead, the wheels are stuck in a rock pit, and those two prisoners are trying to pull the car out of the pit to snipe them to death?"

Sunset City's crossbow can't be used because it can't be resilient in the rain. Sunset City also has firearms, which are the most basic ones, and they also cannot guarantee a fire rate in heavy rain. What's more, the distance between the two sides is more than hundreds of meters, far beyond the precise hit range of pre-industrial weapons, and you have to go into a cliff to do so.

However, the Protector also has another strange thing that can defeat the enemy in a long-range hit.

A conductor gave the order, and immediately there was a team to take out the strange object that looked like a side-by-side string.

This strange object can destroy the target in an instant, even if it is a kilometer away from the target. If the target is an ordinary human body, then this strange thing will definitely be able to cut off its vitality.

But this strange object does not have a lock, and needs to rely on the cooperation of the telescope strange object.

"This is not critical information, Scout!"

Who knew that the field commander was thunderous.

The five teams were integrated into one, and the commander from the field legion was undoubtedly the highest-ranking among them, faintly leading. This scout was not his trained subordinate, and the commander was indescribably annoyed when he heard his answer:

"What about Your Highness? The key is what about His Highness? We want to see people in life, we want to see corpses in death, whether we live or die, we have to bring His Highness back! ”

The Scout wiped the splash off the mirror and said:

"I didn't see His Highness, His Highness is not by their side."

The chief unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. This is because there is no need to directly confront His Highness in a dangerous area.

Then, he frowned again. The rest of the teams did not hear back, indicating that His Highness had not yet been discovered.

"Then you can't kill them easily and put away the great wilderness. Those two must know the whereabouts of His Highness, and His Highness must have something to do with them. I had to capture them alive first. ”

"What if they resist violently and are difficult to subdue for a while?"

The other team leader asked.

"Isn't it easy to catch two incompetent people? Do we need all kinds of means? ”

"There's always a what, right?"

"Chief Officer, is your crystal orb still there?"

The chief turned to ask Grace.

He replied:

"They know what the crystal does, and they won't fall asleep easily."

"There's no way around that. In case of emergency, you can use some means, such as removing their limbs to incapacitate them, but remember to keep them alive, at least so that they can hear and open their mouths to speak. The chief hesitated for a moment, and then added, "It's better not to be disabled, we don't have a doctor, and we don't have any related curiosities, and the usual means of torture are used on them, and we are afraid that they will bleed too much and die." His Highness is still connected to them, and in the worst-case scenario, we may need to get information about His Highness from their mouths. ”

After that, he rang the rocks a few times, made a brief contact with the pursuers scattered in other directions, and ordered half of the people on this side to guard outside the valley to provide support at any time.

At last the chief and the man led a dozen or so men straight into the rift, and made sure they approached it.

Naturally, they saw the two men who were pushing the cart.

One is a toeless man without a hood and standing in front of him pulling a cart, and the other is a young man with a hood standing in a cart at the back.

Two other horses shook their manes in the rain and let out one roar of fear after another.

"Don't bark, don't bark, horses, we are all in distress, we can't stop you."

Gu Chuan whispered.

It seemed that the psychic horse suddenly quieted down inexplicably, and Gu Chuan heard other voices more clearly.

At that time, the black clouds covered the sun, the world was dark, and everything could not be seen clearly, and the sound mixed in with the rain was even more difficult to discern, except for the sound of the nearby bushes being trampled and the sound of a terrible blunt object cutting through the smooth rock.

So he looked for the place where the sound came from, and turned back suddenly, and sure enough, he saw a hazy shadow of the crowd in the rain, and was rapidly approaching them.

"Here ......

The young man's heart trembled, and his heart almost rose to his throat, where he didn't know that this was the chasing army, the protector sent by Sunset City to chase themβ€”that is, the regular army of Sunset City.

The toeless man is stupidly puzzled:

"Coming?"

The exhausted horses let out a heart-rending cry of fear.

"It's a chasing soldier, let's run, wait for Chuyun!"

Gu Chuan didn't hesitate, he called out to the toeless man, stopped pushing the cart, pushed aside the bushes in front of him, walked on the edge of the flooded drinking water, and spread his steps deeper into the canyon.

Seeing this, the toeless man also let go of the hand that grabbed the wooden cart and ran with Gu Chuan.

Behind them, the commander of the field army saw this and hurriedly said:

"They've spotted us, chase after us! Can't let them escape! Capture them alive! ”

Then the commander left the ranks, and the twenty or so soldiers all raised their breath and hurried forward.

It was a run in the most terrible rain, in the most dangerous terrain. Flakes of rain poured out of the crevices of the canyon overhead and poured down on runners and pursuers, skimming their hair, eyes, nostrils, and clothing.

The wooden water shoes stepped on the ground in a series of rainflakes, and the wind blew their skin painfully and red.

"Is this a challenge to power?"

The pursuers have always had spare strength but have been trained in military strength with excellent physical fitness, and the fugitives have no reservations but are far inferior in physical strength.

Gu Chuan and the toeless man rushed forward desperately, their chests expanding to the limit in a short period of time, while their abdomen tightened and ached. But they didn't dare to stop, they didn't dare to look back, they didn't look at the terrible figure behind them, they could barely hear the outside world, they could only hear the squeaking and buzzing in their ears, they could only hear the sound of their own breathing, embarrassed like a wild dog.

The canyon ahead was deflected, and the two ran a sharp turn. And the pursuers methodically close the distance, thinking that they have a chance to win.

Gu Chuan ran through a series of bushes again, and the branches of the bushes left many scars on his legs. The rain seeped into the wounds and caused terrible pain.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Chu Yun ...... "Gu Chuan silently recited the name given to His Royal Highness by the Sichuan Mother in his heart, and raised his head suddenly, wanting to find the small vague shadow that should be on the edge of the cliff, "Are you in any trouble?" Why hasn't it been done yet? ”

The distant grating is like the end of the runway.

Behind him, the chasing eagle dog got closer and closer.

Three of the pursuers picked up stones and threw them at them. While Gu Chuan heard the sound of breaking the sky, he shook his body from side to side, trying to dodge, but there were still heavy hard stones hitting his popliteal fossa, elbow joints, and the back of his waist, causing him to shake his whole body, and most of the strength of resistance was discharged.

"Now, aren't you coming? It's almost too late! ”

He silently screamed in his heart, but there was still no movement in the canyon.

"Or ...... The pursuers also chased to the top? ”

Everything is dead silent and silent. And the rain is the perfect funeral.

Without a God-given opportunity, without the right time and place, it is impossible for them to compete with the regular army with a variety of strange things. At this moment, the hand of the fastest soldier had pressed on Gu Chuan's shoulder, and then pressed it suddenly.

The heavy force made Gu Chuan stumble and fall to the ground. He could barely turn around in the air, covering his head with his hands, causing his back to fall heavily on the rocky ground.

At the same time, the toeless man was pushed to the ground by a soldier.

Both lost the opportunity to resist at the same time.

The commander was behind the soldiers, and came up, laughing softly:

"It's okay, everything is okay, it's going well, and they can't play any tricks."

Yu De strode up to Gu Chuan, grabbed his poncho, and lifted his head.

Gu Chuan barely opened his eyes and saw that the face that grabbed him was the same as the face in the green water balloon, or the face of the chief officer who was chasing him in the dungeon.

"It's you, you're blamed by power, aren't you?"

He laughed.

Not knowing why he could still laugh, he only stated:

"Where is Your Highness? As long as you tell us the location of Your Highness, perhaps, we can let you go. ”

"Let us go......?"

At that time, Gu Chuan was extremely weak.

His blank eyes looked at the sky, and he saw that the sky of the canyon was a long snake-like gap, and the rain was like a waterfall on the edge of the canyon, and in the center of the canyon was a mist of water.

Everything is hazy and unclear.

"Yes." When the chief heard what he said, he was stunned, and in an instant, he also realized that this was a kind of speech, so he said: "I think the chief of public opinion also said that your life and death are not important, right?" Our goal now is only to welcome back our Highness. If you really care about Your Highness, you don't want Your Highness to be our enemy and get hurt, right? I've heard of your place as a genius inventor, but I guess the career you want is definitely not to hurt a girl, right? Your Highness fought with the public opinion lord for you, aren't you ashamed at all? ”

Gu Chuan didn't speak, only found that the rain was obviously getting heavier, and the mist seemed to be getting thinner.

A soldier struck him in the abdomen. Severe pain spreads throughout the body. The young man was so painful that he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth:

"Suppose I say I don't know."

Several vague figures around him drowned him in the center, and the soldiers didn't even bother to control his hands and feet, and one of them said to him in a gloomy manner:

"Then we will cut off your hands and feet, so that you can neither grasp anything nor walk, but only wriggle and crawl on the ground like a worm."

"Ah, that's terrible......"

He saw that the mist was no longer lightening, but was becoming cloudy, a little yellow and black. The sound of the water was louder, mixed with many strange sounds. This is an experience and knowledge that is rarely found by people who only operate on the hills and plains of the great river of Rizhao.

"I don't have the strength to speak...... Come nearer, I tell you...... I've had enough, I don't want to run away anymore...... I want to go back to my mom......"

He barely managed to squeeze out a smile and said flatteringly.

"That's right......"

The chief stood aside, unmoved. The few soldiers around Gu Chuan all moved their faces closer.

The sound of water beating everything became more and more intense, and Gu Chuan's voice became smaller and smaller.

He whispered:

"Then you have to listen up."

"Tell me about it! Sluts. ”

Impatient soldiers kicked him.

He smiled gently, barely reaching for the side of his hood, and ...... Shouted:

"Now, I tell you, no one can decide the fate of a good man. I can't decide, you can't decide, your crown can't...... God can't do it! ”

Then he jerked open the hood. In just an instant, the face locked by the Celestial Mirror began to glow, and the luminosity quickly climbed to an unimaginable height, shining endlessly, reaching into the sky, burning the eyes of the soldiers who approached.

In the moment before the light, the condescending eyes of the dear and Gu Chuan's hooded eyes met. Somehow, he saw these dark eyes, as if he saw a pair of crystal clear gems and crystals mixed into the glass balls everywhere.

Then he covered his eyes and took a few steps backwards.

Gu Chuan took this opportunity and jumped to the side of the toeless man in just one step. The face that shone with the mirror of heaven turned into a flashbang in this narrow and extremely dim space in a short period of time, so that everyone did not dare to look at it directly.

"Hell!"

The toeless man, who also closed his eyes, heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Chuan's hand, Gu Chuan took out the chaotic chicken-like strange thing from the toeless man's pocket, and then ...... Slammed it into his body.

So the chicken once again sucked in the air and the nearby water, and wrapped the two of them in a water balloon.

Gu Chuan had already studied the location of the Water Prison Prison. After this formation, his nose was still exposed to breathe, and then, the water balloon made by the prison was driven by the inertia of the two insiders and rolled on the ground.

After being wrapped in water, the light of the heavenly mirror dimmed. The chief opened his eyes and shouted angrily:

"Chase!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large rock fell from the top. The rock smashed into the bottom of the river, splashing a large expanse of water. At some point, the sound of the water became louder and louder, and the rustling of the rain seemed to turn into a terrifying vibration that even the mountains would shatter.

The chief paused, looked at the sky, and only called out one word, and then was silent:

"It'sβ€”"

The mountains are flooding, and the waters are angry.

The water came up from the sky, mixed with sand and stones, with irresistible force, and swooped down to the bottom of the canyon, making the most magnificent waterfall between the mountains, irrigating the people who had long inhabited the plains. In just a few breaths, the water filled the canyon, and then, like a still hungry hunter, drove along the terrain and began to engulf the outer side of the canyon.

The water was not clean, it was muddy, and it was the most turbid, and it carried the most terrible power between the mountains, like a black tide rising up, engulfing the space, turning out countless branches, stones, and the corpses of the fish that once lived in the river.

Mudstone and flash floods have taken over the control of the valley.

Ordinary humans, whether they are well-trained pursuers or long-tired fugitives, are now prey.

The battle royale has just begun.
