Chapter Forty-Nine: The Yin Soldiers Borrow the Way, and the Living Avoid It
By the time Luo Haoyang arrived, the body of the attendant had become cold, he was lying on the ground lifeless, his abdomen was pierced by a sharp long knife, the attacker moved quickly, the blade pierced several organs, the flesh around the wound did not even roll, the entourage's hands were still holding the handle of the knife, and finally did not let the attacker snatch the weapon.
It's that they have some preconceived ideas, thinking that this person named Yan Zheng is just a mortal, and he has no power to resist in the face of them, but Luo Haoyang knows that the people who survive in the case of the total destruction of the troops, and can return from the dark realm alone, even if they can't find a few people in the entire dynasty, and they also ignore the important point, although this person named Yan Zheng is a mortal, but he is also a strictly trained border army, with experience in life and death, not these retinues who only know the power of foxes and fake tigers can compare.
Now that Yan Zheng has fled deeper into the forest, and further on, there is a big mountain, if he is allowed to escape into the mountain, then even if the number of people chasing him doubles several times, it will be difficult to find his traces, so there is not much time left for Luo Haoyang, and as the only monk who is good at tracking techniques, he naturally wants to catch Yan Zheng first in order to monopolize this credit.
Luo Haoyang stretched out his hand to close the eyelids of the attendant, then stood up and walked out of the cave, and the other attendants who heard the shouts here basically gathered over, they were all dusty, and the clothes on their bodies were also torn by the branches, but everyone was in high spirits, standing outside the cave, waiting for Luo Haoyang's new instructions.
Luo Haoyang took out a red pill from his arms and threw it to the eagle falcon, the eagle swallowed it happily, the feathers on his body became more and more black and bright, Luo Haoyang reached out and stroked the feathers of the eagle falcon, thanks to this pill beast, it was possible for him to continue to look for Yan Zheng's traces in the dark night.
He raised his hand to send the falcon into the sky, the falcon spread its wings, swept up like an arrow and rushed straight into the clouds, with the launch of the tracking technique, a pillar of smoke appeared not far away, and it was still moving deeper, Yan Zheng really did not run far, this time no matter what, he couldn't let him escape, the falcon let out a sharp roar, and quickly chased in the direction of Yan Zheng's escape, without waiting for Luo Haoyang to give orders, the entourage followed closely behind the falcon and acted spontaneously.
Yan Zheng couldn't determine how many pursuers there were, he had to flee as far as possible into the forest, in such a dark night, his traces should have been easy to hide, I don't know what method they used, they were able to chase him closely, suddenly, a piercing chirp sounded in the sky above, Yan Zheng looked up, and then in the dim moonlight, he saw an eagle falcon flying by, the eagle falcon was covered in black feathers, only the eyes flashed with blood-red light.
No wonder he couldn't get rid of the pursuers, it turned out that he was targeted by this beast, Yan Zheng's gaze at the eagle falcon flashed with a trace of killing intent, but he didn't have a bow and arrow in his hand now, not even a decent blade, if he could, he would definitely kill this beast first, so as not to be caught up again.
In order to improve the speed of marching, in addition to the blades and necessary dry food, the Luo family entourage has thrown all the useless things on their bodies on the ground, they followed closely behind Yan Zheng with the guidance of the eagle falcon, and gradually expanded the formation on the way, on both sides by several followers with better physical strength to advance first, followed by some people, the rest of the people stayed in the middle, the whole team moved forward steadily in a wing formation, Luo Haoyang sat at the back of the team, observing everyone's movements, Always be ready to come out and deal with emergencies.
Under the guidance of the falcon, the whole team quickly walked through the forest, and the sacrificial retinue made everyone enter a kind of angry mood, they were desperate to catch the thief, take back the family's stolen treasure, and avenge the dead brother, after a period of pursuit, the position of the entourage on both sides had even surpassed Yan Zheng, and the whole team was like an open pocket, completely enveloping Yan Zheng.
However, Yan Zheng, who was trapped in it, did not know his own situation, but only went deep on his own, in this kind of lightless moonlit night, he had no divine sense at all to be keenly aware of the surrounding situation, and the footsteps that might be heard were also muffled by the sound of scraping between clothes and branches and the sound of his own heavy breathing, not to mention that the chirping of eagles and falcons was heard in the sky from time to time, and that chirping was like a Sanskrit sound of asking for life, always lingering in Yan Zheng's ears.
"I'll be in charge in the middle, and you'll be scattered to the two wings, ready to encircle him." In front of him, Yan Zheng had already entered the encirclement, Luo Haoyang gave an order to the entourage in the center of the formation, they quickly dispersed into two forces, and replenished into the ranks of the two wings, the entourage located in the two wings converged in front, they pulled out the blades on their waists, hid in the bushes, and only waited for Luo Haoyang's order to attack.
Luo Haoyang summoned a longbow full of ornaments from the sea of qi, but compared to other dazzling magic weapons, this longbow can be regarded as unpretentious, he slowly pulled the bowstring and aimed at Yan Zheng, who was fleeing not far away, a pale ink-colored aura poured out from his hand, and quickly condensed into an ink-like long arrow on the longbow.
"Whew——!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Haoyang let go of the bowstring, and the long arrows like ink crystals flew out of the strings and shot towards Yan Zheng, the sharp arrows tearing through the air and letting out a low howl that made people feel dangerous.
Yan Zheng felt a sharp stinging pain behind him, this was the body's instinctive reaction to danger, he had felt similar before, but this time the feeling of danger was particularly strong, no, to be precise, this time he felt death, but before he could react, the long arrows like ink crystals rushed to his face with a strong sound of breaking wind!
Yan Zheng subconsciously crossed his arms to block, but how could the mortal body of the flesh block the powerful blow of the Jade Void Cultivator? The long arrow-like ink easily pierced his arm, and then the residual momentum continued unabated, piercing the skin directly and nailing it into the bone, fortunately Yan Zheng's bone had been tempered thousands of times, otherwise this arrow would have pierced him.
The entourage in ambush swarmed up, and pressed him to the ground without waiting for Yan Zheng to make a move, Yan Zheng's arm was pierced by a long arrow like ink, and it was difficult to break free for a while, and he didn't even have a chance to resist, he was controlled, these Luo family members were obviously prepared, they immediately took out ropes and tied Yan Zheng's hands and feet, making him incapacitated.
"Golden cicada shelling? It's a good strategy, but it's a pity that your enemy is us. ”
Luo Haoyang held a longbow in his hand, slowly walked out of the darkness, and looked at Yan Zheng in front of him through the dim moonlight, his appearance was mediocre, his face was very rough, and it was simply featureless to throw it into the crowd, Luo Haoyang was even difficult to associate this face with a person with a red yarn Bodhi, after all, it was something that even Luo Tianchen's pride of heaven could not get, and it was a shame to let such a lowly border army get it.
But looking at the flesh and blood that was constantly wriggling around the wound caused by the long arrow like ink crystal, trying to combine, and the strange fragrance that belonged to the red yarn Bodhi, Luo Haoyang was convinced that the red yarn Bodhi was indeed on Yan Zheng, he stretched out his hand and sent a signal to the sky, and as the mana fluctuations spread outward, the other teams that received the news would immediately come.
"Jingle bells—jingle bells—"
A horse bell rang out from nowhere, and it spread farther and farther away in this silent night, Luo Haoyang thought that he had hallucinated, how could there be a horse bell in this kind of place? He suddenly felt a palpitation, and an inexplicable chill spread all over his body, as if it was a chill from the deepest part of hell, and it felt like something cold and slippery was slowly sliding on his back, making Luo Haoyang couldn't help but tremble.
The entourage also noticed the anomaly, and at some point, they were already covered with a thick mist, which appeared inexplicably, and then quickly spread, enveloping them all, and the temperature was constantly decreasing within the scope of the mist, and the dew condensed on the emerald green branches and leaves instantly turned into frost.
One of the attendants rubbed his hands uncontrollably, then exhaled a breath of white air, and couldn't help but complain: "This damn secluded realm, how can it be such a ghostly weather." ”
The old entourage, who had previously participated in the Netherworld mission, approached Luo Haoyang's side and suggested to him, "Lord Haoyang, let's leave as soon as possible, I feel that something is wrong." ”
Luo Haoyang nodded, he wanted to stay here and wait for others to arrive, but after the old entourage said it, he also felt that this inexplicable fog was a little weird, and he was afraid that there would be variables if he stayed here.
"Jingle bells—jingle bells—"
The crisp horse bell rang again, but this time everyone heard it clearly, and the face of the attendant, who had complained about the weather, suddenly turned pale, for he could hear it very clearly, and the crisp horse bell was beside him.
The thick fog stirred, as if something was about to break through the fog, a tall horse in armor tore through the fog and slowly stepped out of it, the crisp horse bell came from the iron horse bell it wore around its neck, the tall horse and the Luo family entourage passed by, the heavy snort had even sprayed on his face, the Luo family entourage did not dare to move, but when he saw the cavalry on horseback, he almost couldn't help but scream.
The cavalryman was dressed in rusty iron-gray armor, holding a broken glaive knife in his hand, and the cloak behind him was also full of holes, his face revealed a penetrating dark green, and his body exuded an aura of no one to enter, and the Luo family entourage even suspected that he was not alive at all.
Behind the cavalry, more soldiers followed him out of the mist, their armor of different styles and weapons in their hands, but without exception, they were all expressionless, like walking dead.
No one was making a sound, and they had even forgotten to breathe.
