Chapter 020: Escape

Wuji used his hands and feet at the same time, climbed the hillside, and suddenly his eyes were empty, full of dark green, endless, extending to the horizon, and he was suddenly in a good mood and relieved.

He knew that he had already crossed Tang Mountain, and the boundless forest in front of him should be the Purple Moon Forest. As long as he walks down the hill, even if he walks out of the border of the Great Qin Empire, whether it is Zhao Hu or that hateful Linghu Minzhi, I am afraid that he will have to be afraid. The people of the Demon Kingdom are not ordinary fierce, several wars, the Great Qin Empire has not taken any advantage, if it were not for the sparse population of the Demon Kingdom, I am afraid that even Crouching Tiger Town would be taken away by them.

Listening to the old people, the demon country is the master of the forest, the son of the demon of the forest, bathed in the glory of the purple moon. They have no clothes, they can talk to trees, and they know which fruits are edible and which are poisonous. They are so skilled in archery that even heavily armored Imperial Bears may not be spared—their arrows can be shot from a hundred paces away into the only unprotected eye in the Bears' body.

Mowgli doesn't know if it's true or not, but he has no choice but to hope that these legends are true.

Now, the Purple Moon Forest was in front of him, and he was soon going to experience the truth of the legend for himself, and he was quite excited. He glanced back at the swaying treetops in the distance and smirked.

"Little Flower Cat, Lao Tzu is here, come quickly. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will leave. ”

Zhao Hu, who was galloping, suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears to listen. That nasty voice echoed through the valley, constantly stimulating Zhao Hu's nerves. He didn't have to think about it to know that this was Mowgli, the person he hated the most.

"Hey, he's here too? Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows. They came to chase the owner of the horse, but they didn't expect to catch Mowgli, which was a surprise for him.

"Brother Tiger, over that slope, it's the Demon Kingdom. The little bolt reminded, "We can't catch up with him." ”

Zhao Hu also came back to his senses, screamed angrily, used his hands and feet together, and quickly climbed a tall cedar tree, looking into the distance.

He saw Mowgli's figure, right on the opposite hillside. The straight-line distance is no more than 300 zhang, but if he wants to catch Wuji, he needs to first go down to the valley of more than 200 zhang, and then climb up the slope of the mountain more than 400 zhang. When he climbed up, Wuji probably fled into the Purple Moon Forest, and he couldn't even see a shadow.

Zhao Hu was so angry that his eyes were red, his snort was like thunder, and he roared in a low voice.

"Is that the original person named Wuji?" The young attendant named Gai Qing climbed up at some point, stood on a branch above Zhao Hu's head, looked at the opposite hillside, and asked softly.

"Yes, but we can't catch him. After that hillside, it is the Purple Moon Forest, which is the territory of the Demon Kingdom. ”

"Really?" Gai Qing's voice still couldn't hear a hint of emotion. He lowered his head and glanced at Zhao Hu, who was gritting his teeth. "I'll rush over first, you guys hurry up and come over quickly. ”

"Adult ......"

Zhao Hu was about to say another when he suddenly closed his mouth. I saw Gai Qing's body squatting slightly, then jumped up, opened his arms, and jumped from the top of the tree several feet high. In an instant, the green clothes on Gai Qing's body cracked a big gap, and two huge wings stretched out from behind, fanned a few times, and swooped down a distance while holding Gai Qing, and then soared upward, rushing to the opposite hillside, and in a moment it became a small black dot.

"It turned out to be a heron!" Zhao Hu was ecstatic and couldn't help laughing. He looked at Mowgli on the hillside in the distance, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy. "Haha, grandson, I see where you're going!"

The Du Yu under the tree heard the sound and saw Gai Qing turning into a heron and rushing straight to the opposite hillside, and his face turned pale with fright. He had long known that Gai Qing was very strong, but he didn't expect Gai Qing to be a flying heron. He didn't know that Mowgli was also on this road. They came to chase the old and the young, and he was happy because of this, feeling that he would not face to face with Wuji, but he didn't expect that by mistake, he still brought Gai Qing and Zhao Hu to Wuji.

Wuji is just an original person, while Gai Qing is a master who can transform into a heron, the two are not at the same level at all, and Wuji is dead.

Although Wuji didn't see Du Yu, he also felt that he was dead. I wanted to taunt Zhao Hu at the end, and I had a good time, but I didn't expect to kill a flying guy halfway. Although he didn't know who this guy was, looking at that menacing look, he definitely wouldn't be here to help him.

Wuji didn't say a word, turned around and ran down the hill. Even if he fell to his death, he didn't want to fall into the hands of Yin Xuan and Ling Hu Minzhi, let alone into the hands of Zhao Hu.

The rubble rattled and slid down the hill one by one. Mowgli continued to roll and crawl, I don't know how many trips along the way, and finally almost kept rolling, hitting large and small stones from time to time, making him dizzy and in pain. But he didn't care about this, held his breath, and slid down.

If he could slide down the hill in time and rush into the woods, and the heron couldn't fly in the woods, he might still have a chance to live.

The idea is good, but Wuji can't guarantee that he will enter the woods safely, and as the speed gets faster and faster, he has lost control and can only resign himself to fate. He stumbled towards a large rock, desperately trying to slow down so as not to kill himself, but he couldn't stop. He could only hold his head in his hands, shrink his body, protect the vital point as much as he could, and then slammed into the boulder.

He swept away from the boulder, soared into the air, and rushed into the deep pool below.

A stream of water poured out from under the boulder, flew down a hundred feet, and fell into the deep pool, making a loud rumbling noise, splashing and tumbling white foam, and stones like monster teeth loomed in the white foam.

"Lao Tzu is finished. Mowgli sighed and closed his eyes.

Gai Qing swept over the top of the mountain, swooped down again, and watched Wuji smash into the deep pool like a stone, he couldn't help laughing, flapped his wings, circled gracefully, and slowly landed on the boulder by the waterhole.

Mowgli smashed into the pool, splashed a jet of water, and disappeared into the tumbling white foam.

Gai Qing stood quietly on a wet, mossy boulder by the waterhole with his hands behind his back, his eyes unblinking, staring at the surface of the water, waiting for Mowgli to float out of the water. When he was just flying in the air, he had already checked the nearby terrain and found no trace. Either the target has already escaped along the waterway, or the target has not yet arrived, whatever the reason, he has to wait here, wait for the target to appear, or wait for Du Yu to catch up.

As for Mowgli, it's just an windfall, and the gains and losses don't matter.
