Chapter 376: Four Little Devils Capture Tai Hao
The smug smiles on the faces of the four men, seeing Tai Hao alone and defenseless, became more and more intense, as if a fire was burning on their faces. They had already sketched a picture in their hearts, which was the scene of Taihao bowing his eyebrows and begging for mercy under their obscenity. The image made their hearts surge, as if they had tasted the fruits of victory in advance, and the satisfaction and anticipation almost overflowed from their chests.
However, Taihao's reaction was greatly unexpected by them. He didn't show the slightest fear, but his eyes flashed with a determined and bright light. His eyes were like torches, he looked directly at the four men, and asked in a calm voice, "Do you dare to ask your honorable names and come to arrest me in order to get that reward?" ”
The four men were a little stunned by Tai Hao's sudden question. They looked at each other, and a trace of inexplicable panic welled up in their hearts. The man at the head was named Ghost Leaf, he settled down, and said in a deep voice: "We don't change our name or change our surname, we are here for the reward." ”
Another man, named Ghost Stem, said, "Yes, the four of us are the four masters of the Ghost Sect, and I am the Ghost Stem." We are determined to get this reward. ”
"Under the ghost." The third man said coldly, his eyes revealing a cold aura.
"I am a demon." The last man spoke in a deep voice, his voice low but revealing an unmistakable firmness.
As they reported their names one by one, the atmosphere around them seemed to be tensed by an invisible string, and there was a sense of solemnity in the air. Tai Hao's eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked suspiciously, "You say you are the 'four little ghosts'?" ”
Hearing this, the corners of Ghost Ye's mouth hooked up a smug smile, he nodded, and said, "That's right, we are the famous 'Four Little Ghosts' on the rivers and lakes." ”
After hearing this, a trace of thought flashed in Taihao's eyes, and he continued to ask, "Then you are from Kunwu Mountain?" There was a hint of inquiry in his voice, as if he wanted to find some flaws in the other party's answer.
Onigen smiled and replied, "Yo! I didn't expect you to have a good eye, that's right, we came all the way from Kunwu Mountain. ”
However, Tai Hao was not confused by their answers, he shook his head and said lightly: "I have fought with the 'Four Little Ghosts' many times, and I know what they look like. Although you call yourself the 'Four Little Ghosts', your temperament, demeanor, and manners are completely different from the 'Four Little Ghosts' I know. So, don't lie to me, tell me, who the hell are you? ”
The "four little ghosts" glanced at each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and then burst into a burst of unbridled laughter. Ghost Ye patted his thigh even more and said jokingly: "Haha, you're right, what you have seen before is indeed the 'Four Little Ghosts', and we are also the 'Four Little Ghosts'." It's just that they are our seniors and senior brothers. Don't you know that the name 'Four Little Ghosts' will be constantly updated on the rivers and lakes? ”
Taihao's brows tightened, and an inexplicable doubt surged in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "I naturally know that if any member of the 'Four Little Ghosts' dies, a new substitute will join and use the same name. But what puzzles me is, why did all four members change this time? ”
Oniha shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "It's simple, because all four of them are dead. We are replacing them one by one and becoming the new generation of 'four little ghosts'. ”
Taihao was shocked in his heart, especially when he heard the name "Ghost Root", he felt an inexplicable grief. He remembered that the previous ghost root was Mao Ru's elder brother Wancai, that young man was strong and talented, how could he die so soon? He couldn't help but ask, "The previous ghost root is also dead?" ”
Oniha nodded, revealing a hint of disdain in his tone: "That's right, he's dead too." ”
Tai Hao chased after him and continued to ask, "How did he die?" ”
Oniha pursed his lips and replied, "Poisoned to death." We don't know exactly what kind of poison we were in. I only know that he learned a strange kung fu from somewhere, and as a result, his practice went wrong and he was poisoned and died. ”
After hearing this, Taihao felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. He sighed and shook his head, not knowing what to say. The former opponent has now turned into loess, and this feeling makes him feel extremely heavy and helpless.
Ghost Ye's eyes flashed with greed, he licked his lips, and continued to ask: "I heard that you have obtained a few volumes of the secret book of 'Cat Ancestor Divine Skill', which is the treasure that chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes dream of, where is it hidden now?" ”
Taihao raised his eyebrows, knowing that these people were here to rob the cheats, so he lied without hesitation: "Who are you listening to?" I didn't get the cheats of "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" at all. His voice was firm and calm, as if there really was nothing to hide.
Ghost Ye smiled, not seeming to believe Taihao's words. He said slowly, "We originally had four masters, but now there is only one poor master left. His old man once said that you got a few volumes of the "Cat Ancestor Divine Skill" cheats, but he didn't know exactly how many copies he gave. If you really don't get it, it's weird. ”
Taihao's heart moved, secretly thinking that these people were really prepared. He sighed and said helplessly: "Originally, I did get two cheats, but unfortunately they were both snatched later, and now there is no one. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Oniye's eyes, and he asked, "Who snatched it?" ”
Tai Hao said in a deep voice: "They were all snatched away by Tu Poison Ink." That guy is very cunning, and I never found a chance to get the cheats back. ”
After hearing this, Ghost Ye couldn't help but sneer and said, "Tu Poison Mo has already let you kill, do you think we don't know?" If you really wanted to get the cheats back, you should have done it a long time ago, so why wait until now? ”
Taihao felt a pang in his heart, knowing that these people would not easily believe him. He sneered and continued to lie, "The reason why I killed him was precisely because I wanted to take back those two cheats of mine. It's a pity that I searched his whole body, and I couldn't find any trace of the cheats. I don't know where he hid the cheats, perhaps he gave them to his accomplices. ”
There was a glint of doubt in Oni's eyes, and he stared at Taihao tightly, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts. He asked in a deep voice, "Is everything you said true?" We don't want to be deceived by your rhetoric. ”
Tai Hao's eyes were firm, and he replied without fear: "There is no lie. Every word I say is true, and I can vouch for it with my life. ”
Ghost Gen listened to Taihao's words, and his heart was a little shaken. He turned to Oniye and said, "Big brother, why don't we hand him over to the general according to the original plan." This will keep us safe and we will receive the reward. ”
Oniha's brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons of this decision. He pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "It's okay, let's send him to the capital first and hand him over to General Shaoling." In this way, we can both complete the task and ensure that there are no worries. ”
When Tai Hao heard them mention General Shaoling, he couldn't help but have a complicated emotion in his heart. He couldn't help but ask, "The general you are talking about, is it Shaoling?" ”
Oniha nodded and replied, "That's right, it's the hussar general Shaoling." Looks like you still know who's asking for your life. Now that you know, come with us to the capital. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Tai Hao's eyes, he stared at the ghost leaf and asked in a firm tone, "How did you know that I was in Wurong City?" ”
The corners of Oniha's mouth hooked up a smug smile, he glanced at Taihao, and said slowly, "Oh, you're right." The reason why we know that you are in Wurong City is purely by coincidence. The General didn't just let us find you here, though. Let me tell you the truth, in thousands of cities across the country, there are soldiers and horses sent by the general looking for your traces. ”
When Tai Hao heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink. He didn't expect Shaoling to go to such great lengths to find himself. He took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Since you have gone to such great lengths to find me, then let me ask you, is it you who are responsible for the disappearance of the people in Wurong City?" ”
Oni Ye raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a hint of displeasure. He snorted coldly, "What people are missing? We don't know what you're talking about. We're here just to find you, but we don't have time to worry about the disappearance of people. ”
Tai Hao's sharp eyes swept over the clothes and accessories scattered in the stone room, and he said in a deep voice, "Then what about these clothes and accessories? Isn't it left behind by the missing people? ”
Oniha glanced at the clothes and accessories, and said disapprehantly, "Those things? It's been there since we came here. We didn't lift a finger of them, and we don't know who left them. ”
Tai Hao's heart moved, and he keenly caught the loopholes in Oniye's words. He asked in hot pursuit, "How long have you been here?" ”
Oni Ye didn't seem to expect Tai Hao to ask this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "No more, no less, exactly three days." ”
At this moment, the ghost stem seemed to be a little impatient. He urged: "Big brother, I don't think we should talk to him more." It's getting late, so let's get started. Otherwise, when it gets dark, the road will not be easy to walk. ”
Oniha nodded, he waved his hand, and said to the others, "Okay, let's go!" With his order, the ghost flocculents, ghost stems, and ghost leaves all escorted Tai Hao together, ready to leave this stone room.
When Tai Hao was fighting with the "Four Little Ghosts" just now, he seemed to be trapped by a strange magic power, and his body suddenly became weak and weak, as if all his strength had been drained. At this moment, although his strength was slowly returning, he still couldn't get rid of the restraints on his body - those rough ropes, like vicious poisonous snakes, wrapped tightly around him, making him unable to move.
Their destination is the capital, and the "Four Little Ghosts" embark on the northbound road with the bound Taihao. A flash of alertness flashed in Taihao's eyes, and he observed the road ahead and found that the road happened to pass through a dense forest. His heart moved, because Koji Yi was waiting there. If you can pass through there, then you may be able to find a chance of life and be rescued.
However, when they stepped into the depths of the forest, there was silence all around them, except for the sound of leaves swaying gently in the breeze. Taihao looked around, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. He frowned and said to himself, "Strange, I obviously asked Koji Yi to observe the situation here, where did he go?" Did he have some accident? ”
Just when Taihao was full of doubts in his heart, the ground under his feet suddenly softened, and his whole body instantly lost its balance. He looked down and saw a bottomless trap below, and he was rapidly falling. He was shocked, and it was too late to struggle.
"Ahh
However, because the "Four Little Ghosts" discovered the trap early, and they were not bound by ropes, they were able to easily use light skills to avoid them. They stood on the edge of the trap and watched as Tai Hao fell.
"Big brother, what's going on?" Ghost Gen looked at Tai Hao who fell into the trap and asked with some puzzlement.
Oniha frowned, his eyes swept around the trap, and then said, "This trap is quite deep, let's go down and take a look." With that, he leaped into the trap. Seeing this, the other three brothers also jumped down.
The depths of this trap are like an endless vortex of darkness, devouring all the light, making it impossible to peek into its entirety. The darkness seemed to come to life, wriggling and spreading, and every inch was filled with terror and oppression. Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, with a biting chill, and the whistling sound was mixed with a mockery that seemed to be whispered by death, which was creepy and chilling.
There was a suffocating smell of decay in the air, the smell of death and fear accumulated in the trap, like the wails of countless unjust souls, which haunted everyone's heart. With every breath, it's as if a cold finger is gently tugging at your heartstrings, making you want to escape from this terrifying place.
Taihao was tightly bound by a rope and could only squirm weakly when he fell to the bottom of the trap. At this time, the "four little ghosts" also jumped off the trap and came to Taihao's side. Ghost Ye squatted down, pulled Taihao up hard, frowned and asked, "Who dug this trap?" ”
Tai Hao shook his head and said with a solemn face: "I don't know either, but there is obviously a huge danger hidden here. Untie the rope from me, or we may be in big trouble. ”
As soon as the words fell, suddenly several black shadows flashed from the darkness, and the speed was astonishingly fast. I saw that those black shadows instantly appeared behind the "four little ghosts", and shot like lightning, knocking them to the ground one by one. Taihao was shocked, and hurriedly dodged and escaped. He struggled to break free from his ropes, but no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.
At this time, those black shadows slowly walked in front of Tai Hao, exuding a palpitating aura on their bodies. Tai Hao forced himself to calm down and asked those dark shadows, "Who is Your Excellency?" What do you want to do? ”
The "four little ghosts" who were knocked to the ground also quickly got up and put on a posture to fight. They knew that at this time, they could only unite as one in order to fight against these mysterious black shadows. A thrilling battle is about to unfold in this dark trap......
