Chapter 145: The Trap
On weekdays, Qian Duoduo is very punctual, even if he has to take care of buying and inquiring about news, he will come back before noon.
But today, since he went out in the morning, he didn't come back until the evening, combined with the current situation in the city, people can't help but suspect that something happened to him!
In the yard. Yuan Hao tightened the black iron rod in his hand and said to Liu Chuang:
"Liu Jiaoxi, Senior Brother Qian has been out for a long time and hasn't returned, something must have happened! Let me go out and find out! Chen Jiaxiu also said with a hint of anxiety:
"Yes! During this time, we have been taken care of by Senior Brother Qian, so let me go with Yuan Hao to find him! The rest of the people also rushed to ask to go out to investigate, Liu Chuang waved his hand and said:
"That's it! Be quiet! After seeing that they were all silent, Liu Chuang continued:
"Now the situation in the city is treacherous and changeable, and it is not unusual for Qian Duoduo to have an accident at this juncture, most of which was deliberately done by someone."
"In this way, Yuan Hao, Chen Jia and Lin Yan, the three of you go out to investigate Qian Duoduo's traces, and once you find anything, come back and report it immediately, and don't act without permission!" The three of them took the order and left.
Now that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, it is impossible for Liu Chuang to send out all the combat power in one go. Moreover, the injuries he and Tu Tian had suffered before had not healed, especially himself, the toxin of the King-Rank Mandala Snake was not good!
In comparison, the injuries of Yuan Hao and the three of them are almost better, and in the ruins, Lin Yan's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, so the combat power of the three of them can also be guaranteed.
The rest of them will stay here for the time being, and they can support them at any time if anything happens.
"Finally can't help it! However, if you dare to do anything to my academy, then you must be prepared to leave your life behind! Liu Chuang's eyes gradually became cold, and he thought in his heart.
…… After Lin Yan and the three of them went out, they went in the direction of the small courtyard to the market. Although Lin Yan and the others have hardly been out, they also have a general understanding of the situation here from Qian Duoduo's mouth, and his daily movement trajectory is relatively simple, so it is relatively easy to restore his previous travel route.
Along the way, they found that the number of people in the city not only did not decrease, but seemed to be more than when they first arrived, and these people were paying attention to them, consciously or unconsciously, and it was hard to imagine that they would have good intentions.
Especially some second-rate people showed obscene expressions on their faces, and their lewd eyes kept looking Chen Jia's delicate body up and down.
A beautiful woman like her, who has a capable appearance and a hot body, is quite popular with some people. Sensing those extremely aggressive gazes, Chen Jia frowned slightly, if it weren't for the fact that finding the missing Qian Duoduo was a top priority, she would have pulled out her weapon and started fighting directly.
"Look, look at what, haven't you seen a beautiful woman!" Chen Jia complained depressedly. Finally, in a dark alley around the corner, Lin Yan and the others saw the overturned vegetable basket, and there was a fish that had dried up and died due to lack of water.
This is because Qian Duoduo heard from others that the injured person drank fish soup quickly, so he specially bought live fish, so the soup boiled out was fresh!
But now that the live fish has become a dead fish, what will happen to Qian Duoduo? In the overturned basket, they also found a note, which read: If you want this kid to live, go to the grove south of the city at the end of the hour, and don't wait!
At this moment, the fact that Qian Duoduo was held hostage has been established! Lin Yan looked at the sky and said:
"It's almost time!" Yuan Hao frowned when he heard this, if he delayed for a moment at this time, Qian Duoduo would be more dangerous.
His mind raced, and then he said to Chen Jia:
"You go back first and inform Liu Jiaoxi of the situation here, and Senior Brother Lin Yan and I will go directly to the south of the city to save people." Chen Jia hesitated slightly, this was clearly the enemy's trap, but now that time was pressing, it was urgent to save people, so he could only grit his teeth and agree to Yuan Hao's decision.
She said to the two:
"Be careful, don't be strong!" After that, he quickly turned back to the way he came. Yuan Hao and Lin Yan nodded, glanced at each other, and flew towards the south of the city...... At the speed of the two of them, they soon reached the location indicated on the note.
Standing outside the grove, the surroundings were quiet, and there was something strange in the pitch black. Lin Yan communicated with Qiu Lao in the sea of knowledge, and asked the other party to investigate.
The grove was not big, and as his consciousness unfolded, Qiu Lao quickly located Qian Duoduo's location, and in addition, he also found another person.
Sure enough, there was an ambush! Lin Yan thought so and told Yuan Hao his judgment. Of course, he didn't say that he had found it, but only said that it was his own speculation, so as not to expose Qiu Lao's existence.
Yuan Hao nodded and said:
"Senior Brother Lin Yan, now the two of us can be regarded as 'knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains'! After going in later, move faster, and leave immediately after saving Qian Duoduo, don't fall in love! Lin Yan nodded.
After the two of them discussed, they used their skills to go into the woods. After a while, I saw a lot of money hanging from a tree.
His whole body was tied up like a silkworm chrysalis, and there was something stuffed in his mouth that prevented him from making a sound.
Lin Yan and the two quickly looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one in sight, Lin Yan directly attached his vitality to his feet, stepped on the trunk of the tree, and then cut the rope with a knife.
At the moment when Qian Duoduo fell, Yuan Hao had already arrived and caught him steadily before he landed.
After reaching out and taking the things out of Qian Duoduo's mouth, Lin Yan also came over to cut the rope on his body for him.
After Qian Duoduo regained his freedom, he said excitedly:
"Senior Yuan Hao, Senior Lin Yan, you are here!" Yuan Hao
"Hmm", and then asked:
"Do you know who kidnapped you?" Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said:
"I didn't know that when I went out to buy groceries, I was knocked unconscious from behind, and I didn't see anyone the whole time. But ......"
"But what?" Yuan Hao asked. Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said:
"But I seem to have vaguely heard the words 'King Kong Gate', but I'm not sure." Yuan Hao's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he said:
"'King Kong Gate'!" Then he looked around and said:
"Friend, since we're all here, aren't you going to come out and talk?" After the sound came out, it slowly echoed through the woods, and finally dissipated, but no one responded.
Yuan Hao frowned slightly when he saw this, and thought: Isn't the other party going to talk about it? In that case, why bother to hijack money to lure them here?
Could it be to make fun of them? No one is going to be so boring! Since he couldn't guess the other party's intentions, and no one appeared, Yuan Hao secretly made a color with the two of them, and quickly turned around and evacuated.
After they left, on a tree deep in the woods, a masked man in black said to the man next to him:
"Young master, just let them go?" called
The young man of the "Young Master" chuckled lightly and said:
"Second Elder, don't worry, they can't run away!" A sigh came from the side, and said:
"Alas! It just took a long time! The young man comforted:
"Third Elder, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Don't worry, someone will play the striker for us! After that, the three of them disappeared into the darkness again.
…… After walking out of the woods in fear along the way, there was no one chasing after him, and Lin Yan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Just now, Qiu Lao obviously sensed that there was an ambush in the woods, but why didn't he do it at all and just let them leave, this is unreasonable!
The three of them felt that this matter was too strange, and while they couldn't figure it out, they could only raise their vigilance and speed towards the city.
As long as you successfully join Liu Chuang and teach them, then you don't have to worry about some other conspiracies!
As they were hurrying, suddenly, something flew from a distance and smashed heavily on the road in front of them, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The three of them were forced to stop their progress, and only when the dust cleared up did they realize that the flying object was actually a bronze hammer.
The head of the hammer is a hexagonal columnar object carved with intricate patterns, and judging by the deep pit that smashed the ground out of a pit with a diameter of a few feet, its weight and the strength of the person who threw the hammer were terrifying!
Lin Yan and the others looked solemnly in front of them, and then slowly walked over from a distance. One of them was holding a shield in the shape of a droplet, which was probably made of iron.
The shield is surrounded by rivets, and the shield surface is tortoiseshell cracked, giving it a very heavy feeling. The other walked straight to the pit, reached out and scooped up the bronze hammer inside, and then casually resisted on his shoulder, and said loudly:
"Little dolls, where are you going?" Seeing that these two people were all dressed in black and masked, and stopped on their way back at night, they were not good people at first glance.
Yuan Hao asked tentatively:
"We are students of the academy, I don't know what the two seniors mean by blocking the way?" The old man with the hammer on his shoulder laughed and said:
"Academy? The old man is a reckless man in the mountains, he has never read any books, and he has never gone to the academy. This time, the main reason is that the old man lost some treasures the day before yesterday, and he suspected that he was secretly taken away, don't you mind letting the old man search his body, right? Yuan Hao's eyes were cold when he heard this, and the black iron rod in his hand was slowly clenched.
What's missing? This lame excuse is also said? This old guy is pretending to be stupid here, and it is clear that he is here for them, and it seems that he can't be good today!
Seeing that Yuan Hao and the others didn't react, the old man who resisted the hammer shook his head and said helplessly:
"Young people nowadays, they just don't know how to be sensible! Well, since you don't want to, the old man can do it himself! As soon as the words fell, the three of them felt a huge sense of crisis coming, Yuan Hao and Lin Yan hurriedly used secret methods to forcibly improve their strength, and then held weapons in front of Qian Duoduo.
After all, his current strength is too weak, and if he takes a head-on blow, he will definitely die! However, Lin Yan and the others still miscalculated the situation, and saw the figure on the opposite side flash, and the old man came to the two of them, and then hammered them out.
The weapons touched, and a huge force came from them, and the two of them were instantly beaten to vomit blood and retreat, and after struggling to get up, their eyes were full of horror, and they exclaimed:
"The Acquired Realm...... Anaphase! At the moment of determining the strength of the other party, Yuan Hao did not hesitate at all, and shouted at Lin Yan and Qian Duoduo:
"Scatter and flee!" For an opponent of this level, he didn't have the slightest desire to fight in his heart, and the opponent alone could easily kill the three of his own, not to mention that there was a master beside the old man with the hammer, and it was estimated that he was at least a strong man in the acquired realm.
The difference in strength is so huge, there is no need to fight at all! Looking at the three people who fled scattered, the old man with the hammer smiled slightly, with a hint in his eyes
"Cat and mouse" banter. Before, the sect received a message that a disciple of the academy went out of the city alone, in the spirit
"I'd rather believe it than believe it", he took his second child here to have a look, but he didn't expect that there was really an unexpected gain.
"Third brother, big brother will send these little cubs to accompany you, save yourself from loneliness on Huangquan Road!" The hammer-wielding old man shouted, and then the figure instantly dissipated from the spot.
