Chapter 164: A dilemma

80 per cent for option one and 20 per cent for option two.

……

[Option 1]

[Leave a mark in place and chase after the suspicious homeless]

……

Seeing the strange man who looked like a beggar running towards the depression, Zheng Zhuo no longer hesitated.

If you let it run here, you won't find it in a while!

He jumped to his feet, grabbed the double hook on the ground and chased after him.

The valley is cold and damp, and ventilation is inconvenient. Even Zheng Zhuo, who had already become a small member of [Taiqing Gangqi], ran with all his might, and felt that it was difficult to breathe. This strange man was thin and small, but he ran fast, Zheng Zhuo quickened his pace, and for a while, it was difficult to catch up.

(How did you run so fast?) The more Zheng Zhuo pursued, the more suspicious he became, "(Is this beggar also a practitioner?) )”

His mind moved, and he used the [identification] to check.

……

【Anonymous】

[Internal strength: none]

【External Strength: Liuyun Gong】

[Move: Light Smoke Step]

[Blade: None]

【Qimen: None】

……

Pregnant.

There is indeed some magic in the nameless beggar. He has a crude appearance, but his body is extremely agile. I saw that he was on tiptoe on the ground, and his steps were like flying, and it was the [light smoke step] that stepped out.

Zheng Zhuo didn't know anything subtle and light, so he had to use [Taiqing Gangqi] to chase after him with brute strength. Seeing that the beggar was running faster and faster, he knew in his heart that he must chase a long way away, so he took out a small piece of dry food from his inner bag and broke it up, and scattered it on the ground at intervals.

He has no space to mark with this method.

(I hope Xiang Renjie can find ...... when he turns around!) )”

Zheng Zhuo gritted his teeth and followed the nameless beggar with all his might.

……

In this way, the two ran to the depression one after the other. Zheng Zhuo tried his best, but he finally didn't lose it.

The beggar came first to the thorny depression. He stopped, a look of fear on his face.

He was also blocked!

Zheng Zhuo's heart was wide.

He had just learned that this beggar could only do external and light skills, and had no way to attack. Now that he is blocked, he will definitely be able to catch this person.

"Good!"

He quickened his pace, and saw that he was finally about to catch up.

However, when the beggar saw Zheng Zhuo approaching step by step, he was in a hurry, and he actually drilled into the thorn bush!

Yes!?

Zheng Zhuo arrived on his hind feet and saw that the thorn had been separated by the beggar.

However, you can still reach it with your hand——!

How can you let it go here?

Zheng Zhuo leaped forward and followed closely behind the beggar.

He had the experience of following Xiang Renjie behind him through thorns before, and knew that at this time, it was most appropriate to stand close to the person who opened the way - although he would be scratched on his body, the damage he received was within an acceptable range.

Moreover, the trailblazer walks very slowly.

Sure to catch it here!

Zheng Zhuo thought so and jumped into the thorn bush.

"-hiss——!"

The old wounds have not healed, and new ones have been added. Zheng Zhuo was pierced and grinned.

But now was the time he got closest to the beggar.

He reached out and grabbed the beggar.

Odd?

His [little grappler] was placed on the beggar's shoulder, but it only brushed the corner of his clothes.

The distance is a little bit close.

"Wow!"

The beggar was so frightened that he made a muffled cry from his mouth. He squeezed forward again, fleeing into the depths of the thorns.

Zheng Zhuo naturally followed again.

They fled, captured, and advanced for a long time.

“…… Hiss...... Huh...... Huh...... Stand ......."

More and more thorns pierced Zheng Zhuo's body.

Zheng Zhuo's body was in unbearable pain, however, what was even more strange was that he sensed that something was wrong.

The beggar was not hurt.

He showed a "so painful, so painful" look, After advancing for so long, Zheng Zhuo didn't see him breaking his skin and bleeding.

Even, he is still distancing himself from Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo settled down and looked carefully.

He sensed it. The strange beggar never spoke, but his breathing rate was extremely stable.

The length of the inhalation is short, and the length is short. With the rate of his breathing, he was performing a strange trick that made his skin extremely soft. Unlike Xiang Renjie's [Golden Bell Jar], which can crumble and thorn the skin, the kung fu of the nameless beggar makes the skin unusually soft, but tough as tanned leather.

The thorns are several inches into the body, but they cannot pierce the skin.

The external skill he used was the [Liuyun Gong].

Zheng Zhuo secretly screamed "Oops", and said in his heart: "(It's me who doesn't know!) I also said that the world's external skills are all a road, think about it carefully, how can there be such a thing? This [Liuyun Gong] is far from the [Golden Bell Jar], and it can't lead people behind you! I'm stuck! )”

When Zheng Zhuo first saw people in front of him, he was in a hurry to catch people, and he didn't think too much. This enlightenment has gone too far into the thorn bushes. Seeing that the strange beggar still came and went freely, he was stuck in the thorns, unable to move.

It was getting dark, and there was no movement around. I didn't hear any voices from Xiang Renjie nearby.

The strange beggar went farther and farther among the thorns.

"Hey! Feed! Don't leave! Don't go! ”

Zheng Zhuo can't care so much! By the time he noticed, he was already bleeding nonstop.

"Don't go! Wait a minute! Come back! I'm going to die! ”

He shouted.

He originally thought that if Xiang Renjie was nearby, he would know that something was wrong when he heard this voice, and he would come to rescue him.

However, Zheng Zhuo didn't expect that the strange beggar would turn back.

Huh?

It doesn't seem like he had any intention of murdering himself.

Zheng Zhuo was a little relieved and shouted, "Yes, yes, come over again." ”

However, the strange beggar is still wary. I think it was because Zheng Zhuo was chasing him viciously before, he only watched from afar, swimming nearby, and his mouth was uh-huh.

I don't know if it's because I'm dumb in the first place, or if I can't speak when I Yun Na [Liuyun Gong].

(Hell.) )”

Zheng Zhuo screamed until his mouth was dry, and the beggar still refused to approach.

(That's it!) I have a last resort. )”

Zheng Zhuo opened the panel and began to call people.

"Fu Xi? Fu Xi—"

"Hello?"

Yes, there is a pick-up. That's great.

"Hey, hey! I need help! ”

"Huh...... It's not that you don't want to be busy—"

"Busy, busy! Of vital importance! ”

"Why is it that after a while, your life is at stake again? Okay, I'll take a look at ......."

“……”

"Ah, there's no one else near you. Then I can't use this ability. ”

"What?"

Isn't there just one person in front of you? Just that strange beggar? Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

"I forgot to mention it last time. My abilities can only be used against [monsters] who are unconscious. Of course, in the [Martial Arts World], other martial artists seem to be defined as monsters. ”

"Huh."

Other words......

"There's nothing unconscious near you. Do you try to stick with it yourself? There's always a way. Bye-on. ”

"Wait—"

No response.

“……”

Zheng Zhuo turned off the panel. It was getting dark. In the night wind, only the thorns that pierced his body brought him real sensations, taking away his blood and body temperature.

Yes?

Zheng Zhuo suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Although it doesn't seem too dangerous...... But now he seems to be dying.

“……”

Not far away, the strange beggar was still staring at him.

In this way, when he entered the [Martial Arts World], he saw the panel of the strange beggar. At that time, it seemed that he had a hand-copied fragment of the Guiyi Sutra on him. I wonder if it's still there? If so, can you get out of danger now?

Xiang Renjie didn't know where he went. But now that it's getting dark, he should be able to spot it easily if he can make some light or a loud noise. Moreover, if he can come, he can also subdue the strange beggar by the way.

and Fu Xi......

The biggest unreliability factor. But it is also the factor with the highest ceiling.

Can you try harder?

It's getting late, if the blame beggar or Xiang Renjie falls asleep later, Fu Xi can control them, right?

……
