Chapter 6: Kill!
Xiao Yichen immediately reined in his mount and glanced at the others.
At this look, his brows also locked.
Except for the guard who roared, the faces of the other guards were also very ugly, and beads of sweat were falling down one by one.
It's just that the situation is mild and serious, and it seems that they have been poisoned by the same batch!
But they have always been careful when it comes to eating, and the only less common food they have eaten recently is the wild fruit that has been eaten raw and has nothing to do, that is, this wild fruit was put in the bowl of broth that everyone drank before going to bed last night to taste.
Could it be that this wild fruit is non-toxic when eaten raw, and it is poisonous after cooking?!
There is a problem with the guide!
Xiao Yichen was the first to react, and immediately said: "Induce vomiting!" ”
I don't know if the toxin is deadly, at least more than two hours have passed since the meal at night, I don't know if vomiting works, but if it goes on like this, there is no antidote to the miracle drug, that is, waiting for death.
Inducing vomiting, at least it's still a solution.
The pursuers had been temporarily thrown away by them, and the less than ten men immediately turned over and dismounted, poured water from their sacs into their throats, and then choked their throats and vomited.
A burst of fishy smell spread from the things that these people vomited, and this strong smell was worse than the vomit of a drunk person, but the person who vomited quickly, the original blue complexion, obviously recovered a lot.
This trick really works!
Xiao Yichen heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind at this time, although he didn't know whether the chasing person was their man or the pursuer, but Xiao Yichen didn't dare to gamble at this moment, he immediately ordered: "Get on the horse and enter the path!" ”
Walking forward from the main road, it was obviously impossible for them to run past the pursuers as they looked like they had already lost half their lives.
If the person behind is not the pursuer, then all is well.
What if so?
Isn't that putting your life on this kind of luck?
Instead, they entered the path, where the terrain is complicated, and there are many trees around, when the time comes, abandon the horse and temporarily avoid the pursuers, even if they are also trapped, as long as the toxic effect disappears, they may not be able to exchange one with the pursuers who are also trapped in this environment.
This is also the obvious effect after vomiting, which gives them more confidence.
Sure enough, when they had entered the path less than half a mile or so, they could no longer ride their horses, so they simply let go of their horses, and they went into the woods with only light bags. And the strange angry shouts from not far away all verified how clever they were to make a quick decision.
The person who caught up was indeed the assassin, not the commander and the others who stayed behind!
Thinking that the Commander and the others had not been able to stop these people, perhaps it was also because of the poisonous attack that led to the failure, the hatred for that guide made these people grit their teeth even more.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not appropriate to make a sound at this moment, I am afraid that the cursing would be endless.
Xiao Yichen did not drink broth because he was unwell in the past few days, but he was the only one among all who was not poisoned.
But although he was not poisoned by the wild fruit, the feeling of a needle prick on his body was more painful than the poison of the wild fruit.
His face was pale, as if it had just been washed with water, but he still managed not to snort, only pursed his lips, and slashed the thorns in front of him with his sword.
Suddenly, a wolf howl came from not far away, followed by several other wolf howls.
"It's a wolf!" At this moment, the sky is gradually brightening, but this does not mean that the wolves have rested, there is obviously a pack of wolves settling in the place they entered, and they were actually sent directly to the wolf's den!
But because of this exclamation of one person, as well as the wolf howl before, the people behind them, who had been thrown away, shouted with joy: "People are in front! Chase! Don't let them run! ”
After that, there was a chase battle, and the wolves also added to the chaos, and by the time Xiao Yichen came back to his senses, he had already separated from the guards.
Looking around, the thorns and weeds that were more than one person tall blocked his vision, and he was like a person who strayed into the crop field, and he couldn't tell where he was born at all, because the weeds and thorns around him all looked the same!
Farther away are tall trees, but again, tall trees are everywhere and almost identical, and even locals who have been here a few times will be dizzy.
Xiao Yichen always looks calm and calm in front of his subordinates, but when he comes to this kind of place that is completely out of his knowledge, he can only try not to make any big mistakes.
The pain became more and more intense, and every step he took felt like he was stepping on a needleboard.
But he persevered and walked a little longer, and when he was sure that there was no sign of wild beasts around, he found a low tree, and planned to climb the trunk of the tree to spend the day and the night.
After tonight, the pain will gradually subside, and after three days it will be completely gone.
Tonight will be the most dangerous time period, and while he has not fainted from the pain, finding a relatively safe place is the most important thing he should consider.
As for the guards who were separated from him, he couldn't think about it for the time being when his whole head was about to explode.
The tree in front of him changed from one to three or five in an instant, and he was only three steps away from this tree, but he was top-heavy and planted directly on the ground.
As he was slowly getting up from the ground with his body propped up, there was a loud sound behind him, as if someone or an animal was waving weeds and thorns and walking towards this side.
Is it a human or an animal?
If it is a man, is it his own people, or is it an enemy?
Xiao Yichen gritted his teeth, pretending not to notice the movement behind him, and then he heard the sound of light footsteps, walking towards him step by step, and at the same time, there was the sound of being deliberately held by someone, and a faint smell of insect repellent herbs came from behind him.
Xiao Yichen had only smelled this smell from one person, the guide who led them into the mountain.
The other party once said that this anthelmintic medicine was prepared indiscriminately by their own family, because they also brought the anthelmintic medicine from the city when they entered the mountain, so no one used this guide, Xiao Yichen squinted, and looked back, and guessed who came.
The other party will not fail to see his identity, but he will not make a sound, but step by step, his hearing will become more acute in the past few days, and he even heard the sound of the other party quietly pulling out a dagger.
Xiao Yichen slowly got up forward, in fact, he had already bitten the tip of his tongue, condensing the attention of the whole person.
Swish! Just when a slight evil wind stabbed straight towards the back of his neck, Xiao Yichen rolled on the spot, and the sword he had been holding in his hand stabbed directly backwards.
With a snort, there was a sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh behind him, Xiao Yichen didn't look back, he poked back fiercely again, and even stirred the sword with his hand, and the person behind him snorted twice, and finally lost his breath.
Xiao Yichen turned around slowly, and sure enough, he saw a familiar face holding a dagger, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground without a dagger, and his back-poking sword stabbed the other party through the cold.
At this moment, Xiao Yichen directly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed.
But the pain that followed, like a flood that had been suppressed for a moment, quickly penetrated his will with even more astonishing ferocity, and made his whole body collapse.
But it didn't work out, not to say that he hadn't found a suitable place to hide his body to survive the night, but to say that this bloody corpse was lying in it, and it was easy to attract wild beasts.
When the time comes, it is difficult to say whether this corpse will satisfy the beast that came with the taste, and whether it will eat him directly not far away.
He had to drag the corpse straight away to get rid of the smell of blood before it was completely poisoned.
Thinking so, Xiao Yichen bit the tip of his tongue again, and a trace of clarity appeared in his eyes again.
Directly ignoring the smell of blood in his mouth, just as he was about to get up and draw his sword, the grass not far away shook again.
Xiao Yichen's body was already shaking a little unsupportably, and he had to poke his sword to the ground to support his body, like a beast that was seriously injured but refused to close its eyes, looking in that direction.
Who's coming?!
