Chapter 36: Arashi

In late autumn, the cicadas become more and more restless.

At noon, the sun is blazing, but the understory is very dark, and the tall and dense trees cover the sky and the sun, leaving only dappled light and shadow.

A chickadee flutters down on the dead leaves, rummaging for bugs hiding in the rotting leaves.

Suddenly there was a slight stirring in the pile of dead leaves, and the chickadee, frightened, dropped the little insect and scurried to the top of the bush in the distance, staring restlessly at the pile of dead leaves, and jumping back and forth on the bush.

In the dark corner, a strange man covered in dead leaves came out of the pile of rotten leaves, and no one would be able to detect that anyone was hiding here unless they searched inch by inch.

"Ahem. . . Ahem.."

The strange man covered his mouth and nose and did not dare to make a loud noise, coughed softly and dryly, spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and immediately covered it with dirt.

The cough pulled at the wound on his chest, and he gasped in pain.

Two ribs were broken, and his organs were badly injured.

Covered in mud and wrapped in leaves, lying motionless for four or five hours, every second was extremely difficult.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around, the strange man wiped the dead leaves on his face with mud, climbed up with difficulty, and sat down wearily with his back against the tree.

Using the turtle breath technique for a long time to constrict the qi machine made his qi and blood flow poor, and as soon as he finished the exercise, his breathing became short.

After a period of pranayama, the qi and blood finally returned to normal.

The chickadees in the distance had not yet left, staring curiously at the strange man, and from time to time at the bugs that had fallen on his head.

The strange man whistled twice at the, and the immediately quieted down, flapping its wings and landing on his head.

The chickadee pecked the worm up its neck and swallowed it, then bounced and landed in the weirdo's palm.

The strange man stretched out his finger and gently soothed the, and the mud-stained finger stained its beautiful feathers, and the pecked the outstretched finger in dissatisfaction.

took out the dry food he carried, broke off a little and teased the, one person and one bird, you and I responded one by one.

After feeding the, the weirdo waved the away.

During the communication with the, it was learned that the people had not left, and had been searching from a distance, and several passages out of the dense forest were also guarded.

Once they force their way through, they will be closed and will fall into their hands again.

The strange man looked blankly, looked at the gap in the light between the leaves above his head, and sighed helplessly: "It's been two months... It's been two months, Lianshan, you stupid ×, do you know how I've spent these two months?!"

This strange man is Lan, from the declining family of beast masters, gifted, able to communicate with birds, beasts, fish and insects since he was a child, and he also used this to avoid the opponent's two-month uninterrupted search.

I wanted to rely on my advantage in the jungle to quickly find the spiritual essence of the leyline and gather the materials for the marrow washing pill, but I didn't expect to be caught as soon as I stepped into the dense forest.

The opponent has a large number of people and is strong, there is no room for resistance at all, and there is no chance to smash the rescue token, so he is bound by the opponent with a magic weapon.

That's right, it's a magic weapon, a long whip-like magic weapon, which is more difficult to refine than a sword.

There are four in the realm of opposing soldiers, and there are also two in the realm of fighting, and one of them even has a mid-stage cultivation in the realm of fighting.

Such a luxurious lineup is thanks to them for being so affordable.

was hunted down for two months, and he didn't even know the identity of the other party.

From previous cross-examination, it was known that their target was Lianshan.

Use yourself as bait to lure Lianshan to the bait.

This net is simply tailor-made for Lianshan, with Lianshan's impulsive temperament, it is very likely that he will come over alone, and several acquaintances and friends are not in the sect, and he can't find other powerful helpers.

There should be the other party's internal response in the sect, and that person is very familiar with himself and Lianshan, so he opened the net in advance and waited for him to jump.

After Lan was arrested, the other party was firmly guarded for a few days, and even if a ban was set, he never left his side.

Finally waited for the opportunity, and when the person with the highest cultivation went to squat on the mountain with a magic weapon, and when the guard was lax, Lan tried his best to break free from the ban.

Helplessly, there are many people on the other side, and he has lost too much true qi.

After a fierce fight, he finally broke through, but he also received a few palms and hurt his lungs.

This was followed by a nearly two-month escape.

A few days ago, he was hiding in the shadows, and one of the soldiers groped through, and Lan had to show up and fight back, knocking him unconscious.

Fortunately, his Acacia Gu card was on him, and Lan smashed the token without hesitation, and fled immediately.

"Thinking that the rescue order was issued, they would be somewhat afraid of the sect sending people to rescue, but they never thought that these people would be so unscrupulous. ”

Lan trembled and took a deep breath, pressed it lightly to his chest, and the ribs that showed signs of healing were broken again, and the pain made him suddenly wilt, and his body was like a hunched shrimp, curled up under the tree and gasped violently.

Just getting better and tearing the wound.

He is not masochistic, but his ribs are not joined correctly, and if he is imprisoned, he will be left with a lifelong disability, or even cut off from the path of monasticism.

He came out in a hurry, and he didn't bring healing medicine, so he could only rely on the herbs in the forest to stabilize his injuries.

Almost recovering his strength, Arashi cleared all traces left behind and got up to leave, the sound of insects gradually rising, and the bushes returned to their former noise.

"Haven't you come yet?" asked a man in a cloak and wrapped in black on the side of the main road in the dense forest, as he walked into the empty road.

There was no response except for the sound of insects.

A gray shadow jumped down a few steps from the shade of a ten-foot-high tree trunk, but landed silently.

"Nope. "The voice is hoarse and emotionless.

"You're getting better at investigating. The man in black looked the man up and down and exclaimed.

"Since you can afford this price, you naturally have to have some housekeeping skills," Gray Shadow said, "Haven't you found that person in the woods yet?"

"Don't worry," said the man in black nonchalantly, "it's just cat and mouse, it's too boring to wait, and a mouse will be used to play around and dispel the boredom, but our target is not him." ”

Gray Shadow is noncommittal, the masters of the two Fighting Realms want to catch a Soldier Realm, as long as they are sideways, no matter how good they are at hiding, they don't have to work too hard.

"Will the rescue order he gave affect this operation?" asked Gray Shadow, who was silent for a while.

"Probably not," replied the man in black, "that's fine, even the elm head of the mountain hasn't been figured out for two months, and this rescue order can still urge him." ”

"Aren't you afraid of attracting powerful characters?"

"Don't be afraid, if there is really a powerful character, the action will be canceled immediately, and you will act at the opportunity. The man in black groaned, "It won't be too powerful, even a few friends in the mountain are not in the sect."

Other small fish and shrimp don't need to care, the innkeeper can cook, and money can make ghosts grind.

When the matter is over, you go and deal with the aftermath of the inn. ”

"Okay, his friends aren't afraid, they're afraid of being above the Fighting Realm..."Gray Shadow replied.

"Then don't be careful, there are unwritten rules between sects, and you can't bully the small. The man in black smiled, "If anyone bullies the small with the big, the other party will jump out bigger, and eventually evolve into a competition between the sects, these bigwigs will not expose their background for this little thing." ”

"What if..."

Seeing that the gray shadow had a lot of concerns, the man in black suppressed his smile, and his tone gradually became cold, "What, are you afraid? This is not like your shadow style." ”

How did he become a bounty hunter with such restraints? The man in black reflected on whether he had seen the wrong person.

"No, if you do...", Gray Shadow paused, "Gotta get more money!"

The man in black laughed, "It turns out that it's for this, it doesn't matter, after the matter is completed, you will be paid 20% more, which is considered an overdue hardship fee." ”

"Well, I'm back to my place then. With that, the gray shadow leaped to his feet, tapping his toes on the branches, and in a few steps he went up to the treetops, and hid himself in the shadows.

Nodding to where the Gray Shadow was hiding, the man in black left.

Not long after leaving, a loud eagle roar sounded in the forest, and the searchers in the forest immediately stopped their movements and rushed to the predetermined place.

The man in black stopped, and under his cloak, he showed a long-lost smile.

"I've been fishing for two months, and I've finally taken the bait!"
