Chapter 67: Ten Mile Mountain (2)

Zhu Mingyu didn't say anything anymore, and pulled Amber and walked towards the depths of the woods.

As she walked, Amber asked, "Where are we going?" It's not dark yet."

"The hideout has been discovered, and it's no longer safe. Just go back like this, we will be scolded to death by your young lady, let's look for more, in case we find it."

"Actually, I think ......" Amber rarely spoke very seriously, "Since Night Feather Xiaozhu can't find Senior Lin either, let's not look for him, will he be safer?"

"That's true, but Shili Mountain is not big, and you will always find it if you spend a little time. It's better for us to find it first than for the killers to find it first."

Amber stopped talking, and concentrated on following Zhu Mingyu in the mountains to search for traces of human habitation. It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful, and in less than half an hour, the rain poured down.

The rain was very urgent, and the two found a place to shelter from the rain. But the rain continued to fall for an hour, and there was no sign of stopping.

"It's not good," Zhu Mingyu muttered, "Under this rain, the mountain road will become muddy, and it will be difficult for us to get out."

Amber was about to say something when a muffled thunder rang out in the sky. This muffled thunder made Amber, who had been listless, suddenly concentrate, and with this mental effort, she saw a point of light in the rain curtain quickly slashing through countless raindrops, shooting towards the two of them.

"Be careful!" Amber pushed Zhu Mingyu, and on the stone wall where Zhu Mingyu was standing, a steel needle more than three inches long had been pierced into it.

As the steel needle shot, more than a dozen black-clothed people were killed in the pitch-black woods in front of him. As a last resort, Amber and Zhu Mingyu had to rush to defend against the enemy. Deep in the woods, a pair of fierce eyes were staring at them viciously.

It has been almost a day since Li Fenglan and his party arrived at Shili Mountain, and they have searched in the mountains for most of the day, but they have not seen anyone, only some traces of sporadic fights on some tree trunks. It should have been Amber and Zhu Mingyu who were also ambushed, but there was no blood at the scene and no one was injured.

At sunset, the heavy rain suddenly fell, and the four of them were doused into soup chickens before they had time to take shelter from the rain.

"There are trees everywhere, but none of them can hold back the rain." Li Fenglan muttered, at this time, the four of them were standing under a large tree with a relatively lush canopy to shelter from the rain.

Bai Shuyu said, "I only know that it is in Shili Mountain, but I don't know where it is in Shili Mountain."

Twilight's ears suddenly moved, and she said, "Did you hear that?"

Li Fenglan didn't hear anything, but the other three seemed to hear the faint sound of fighting.

Jade pointed behind her, "That direction."

The four of them didn't think much about it, and hurried in that direction, and the horses didn't care.

If it is just these dozen or so high-ranking killers, Amber and Zhu Mingyu are more than enough to deal with. The thought of them all carrying food made Amber very energetic. But these killers seem to have used some kind of formation to suppress the two of them.

"It's weird," Zhu Mingyu said as he smacked, "something is wrong! Amber! Don't be in love!"

The two of them said as they retreated deeper into the woods. The rain does not mean small, but gets heavier and heavier. The killers' nightwear was tighter and closer, and they consumed less physical strength than the two of them in the heavy rain, and trembling for a long time was extremely detrimental to the two of them. Zhu Mingyu keenly discovered this.

As keen as Zhu Mingyu, he still made a mistake: in the dense forest, although it is better to escape by relying on trees, it is also better to ambush.

Soon, Zhu Mingyu realized that retreating into the depths of the dense forest was not a good choice, because the killers did not chase in.

Zhu Mingyu grabbed Amber and whispered, "Don't move!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Mingyu's hearing was very good, he closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sounds in the woods. Although the rain was loud, the sound of small pieces of wood rubbing could still be heard. It's not between trees and trees, but now this dense forest is full of hidden weapons.

"There's a mechanism," Zhu Mingyu whispered, "cheer up."

Amber suddenly narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Look in that direction."

Zhu Mingyu looked over with Amber's finger and saw it

Between the two trees not far away, the falling raindrops formed an irregular quadrilateral shape. It's as if someone had painted a picture with rainwater. Zhu Mingyu looked carefully for a long time before finding that there were several thin lines pulled between the two trees, and the raindrops hit the thin lines before they showed their shape.

Zhu Mingyu casually picked a leaf and flicked it towards the thin line, which split in two shortly after passing through the thin line. He secretly said that it was dangerous, if the two of them rushed over just now, it was estimated that they would have been cut into several sections by this sharp thin line.

"Avoid these thin lines."

Amber nodded.

The two slowed down, carefully avoiding the thin lines. In the meantime, out of curiosity, Amber touched the thin thread, but the finger was cut, and the sharpness can be imagined.

The two of them were so focused on the fine line that they forgot that there were other hidden weapons in the woods. As soon as Amber bent down and passed through a thin line, her right foot seemed to step on some square object, and in a stunned moment, several steel needles shot at her. Amber reacted quickly, dodged, and dodged. However, the person who placed the hidden weapons was smarter, and he guessed in which direction the person who stepped on the spring would hide.

Sure enough, Amber had just dodged two steel needles when two more shot at him from another direction.

Zhu Mingyu heard the sound of the steel needle breaking the wind, and didn't have time to think about it, so he took the amber into his arms. Amber is safe, Zhu Mingyu only felt a piercing pain in his back, and hurriedly squatted down.

"Mingyu Dao Chief!" Amber saw the change in Zhu Mingyu's expression and knew that he had been tricked.

"I've got a dart in the back, help me pull it out."

Amber hurriedly went to see Zhu Mingyu's back, two steel needles pierced his back, but the piercing was not deep, it was just a skin injury.

"Are you alright?" Amber asked with concern.

"It's okay, let's go."

Although the two walked slowly, they experienced the dangerous scene just now, and they couldn't help but mention their spirits, and until they walked out of this dense forest, neither of them had ever been hit by a hidden weapon again.

At this time, the rain was heavier, and the sky was full of thunder and lightning, and sometimes the entire Shili Mountain was illuminated as day.

The two who had just come out of the dense forest had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, Zhu Mingyu's ears moved, and he heard the sound of water...... The sound of a great river rushing. No, there are a few small streams in Shili Mountain, and I haven't heard of any big rivers. Zhu Mingyu thought so, and the two had already walked to the mountain road. There should be a lot of pedestrians on this mountain road, and it is paved with stone slabs, which is much easier than stepping on the mud.

With another flash, Amber faintly saw a person on the mountain road not far away.

Amber whispered, "Someone."

Zhu Mingyu looked over, and the man was tall, and he seemed to be wearing a lily robe and a hat. Standing on the mountain road not far away, with his hands folded in front of his chest, it seems that he has been waiting for a long time.

"It's friend or foe," Zhu Mingyu said, "it's better not to make contact."

The voice was not loud, but the mysterious man in the distance seemed to hear it, and he suddenly said, "You two, here, don't go."

The mysterious man didn't seem to use much force to speak, but the sound pierced through the rain and clearly reached the ears of the two of them.
