Chapter 304: Shadow of the Coffin in the Water
Not far from the wind that Sanyisheng and the others were chasing, a large number of slaves who had escaped from the slave market were also heading south in the wind and sand.
These slaves scattered and fled, all of them looked like they were saving their lives, and only four of them were particularly conspicuous, a middle-aged man carrying an old man on his back, and a pair of young brothers and sisters at hand, pulling and pulling and pulling forward.
"Run, hurry, don't leave your sister behind!" The middle-aged man shouted to the ragged brother and sister next to him against the wind and sand: "You can get out of Shilou City in front, let's hurry south after leaving the city!"
The little boy raised his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged man, who was carrying the old man with a difficult time, the old man closed his eyes tightly in the wind and sand, his lips opened and closed slightly, and the sand grains blew through, and even his saliva had dried up.
"Uncle, he's dying of thirst......" the little boy said.
"It's better to die of thirst than to be beaten to death! I finally escaped from the slave market, and I must not be caught again!" The middle-aged man took a sip of sand and looked back, but there were no soldiers chasing after him in the wind and sand. "If you are caught this time, you brothers and sisters will definitely be stripped and executed!"
"Brother, I don't want to die...... "The little girl's whisper came with some milkiness, and the little boy nodded, hugged her tighter, and followed the middle-aged man closely.
"Hurry up, shoot that little cub down for me!"
Faintly, an angry voice came from the wind, followed by the sound of "whooshing" arrows breaking through the air, powerful and powerful.
When the middle-aged man heard the sound of the bow and arrow, his eyes were shocked, and he grabbed the little boy beside him violently, "What a strong force! Is it a hunter or a soldier?"
"I didn't shoot, keep chasing, he accelerated!Ha, the little cub is scared!" The angry voice ignored the horror of the wind and sand, and roared wantonly to give orders to the surroundings.
At this moment, a man dressed as a servant with a bow and arrows. Jumping out of the wind and sand, not far from the middle-aged man's side, his keen gaze swept over the middle-aged man and the little brother and sister, and quickly sank into the wind without a trace of stopping, chasing forward.
The middle-aged man froze and reacted violently, "Go! Hurry up, that person is wearing the decorations of the Zhou Kingdom, and they are from the Zhou Kingdom!"
When the little boy heard this, he hurriedly tightened his sister. hurriedly followed behind the middle-aged man and chased in the direction where the servant had not entered the wind and sand, "Uncle, Uncle, will that group of people kill us?"
"Uncle doesn't know, let's just don't get too close to them. The middle-aged man said: "It is said that Zhou has a Ming monarch who came to the world, let's flee to the past, someone will definitely take us in!"
The little boy's thin face showed a slight hint of joy, and at this moment. There was a cheer from the wind and sand ahead, "I shot! I shot!"
"Search, search, adults want to live. Don't let that little cub die!"
"It shouldn't be far from here, let's look for it separately!"
......
"Wait...... the middle-aged man grabbed the little boy, "they don't go forward, let's not get too close!"
The little girl tilted her head. Looking at the middle-aged man, "Uncle, are they hunting?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "Maybe, but with such a big wind and sand, I don't know what they're shooting. ”
"Whew!"
A gust of wind suddenly sank from the air, blowing more intense sand and dust on the ground, and then several thick black feathers in the air swept through with the wind, and the little girl pulled her brother's clothes, "Brother, look over there, a big black bird has fallen!"
The little boy turned his head to see a pair of huge black wings, blown by the strong wind, rolling in circles on the dust field.
"Don't look, let's get out of the way!" The middle-aged man had already noticed the pair of huge creatures with black wings, and knew in his heart that this thing was probably the target of the group of Zhou people hunting.
The little boy didn't say a word, and was about to leave with the little girl, but the little girl cried out, "Brother, look at the big bird is still moving!
"Don't go over if you don't die......," the middle-aged man didn't finish speaking, only to hear a weak moan coming from the blackbird, which seemed extremely painful.
"It's hurt......" the little girl seemed to be unbearable.
The middle-aged man didn't want to cause trouble, but he glanced at the blackbird from a distance, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, turned around and glanced into the distance, and saw that the archers of the Zhou Kingdom did not come, so he slowly approached the blackbird and looked at it carefully.
"Shhh...... This blackbird is a feather man!" The middle-aged man recognized the appearance of the blackbird, and in the ghost side, the feather man was a symbol of dignity.
The little boy and the little girl followed, and were startled when they saw the black bird on the ground with its hands and feet, as well as a human face.
"Uncle, let's go, this monster is so scary!" the little boy tugged at the middle-aged man's clothes.
"Quick...... Leave ...... quickly" Suddenly, the black bird on the ground struggled to glance at the middle-aged man, turned over and lay on the ground and tried to pant hard, and his mind was half clear, "No matter who you are...... Fast...... Get out of here! they're coming!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned his head and was about to leave, but the little girl paused in place, "Uncle, let's save him!"
"No, let's go, we can't take care of this......"
At this moment, the old man on the back of the middle-aged man suddenly gasped, his eyes that had been closed all the time, opened with difficulty, and there was a faint divine light in the turbidity, staring at the wind and glancing, and said weakly in a voice like a broken bellows: "Save him......"
The middle-aged man was stunned and said hurriedly: "Old man, I see that you are pitiful and don't want you to die miserably in a foreign land to save you, how can you still take this feather man now?"
"If you don't take him, you'll die......," the old man gasped again, "quick, take him!"
The middle-aged man looked around anxiously, carrying the old man on his back, he could only pick up the black-winged feather man with one hand, and frowned: "What's your name?"
"Wind ...... The little boy saw that he had a feathered arrow stuck in his shoulder, the tail of the arrow was almost submerged in the flesh, and the blood gushed out along the wound, looking very miserable.......
In the distance, a faint search voice came, "Damn, where did that little cub fall?, why can't you find it?!"
"Your Excellency is already angry, expand the scope and keep looking!"
The middle-aged man did not dare to hesitate, brought up the wind, and quickly fled in the opposite direction of the voice, the wind and sand were very violent, and the middle-aged man could not distinguish the direction, so he could only avoid those Zhou archers as much as possible.
At this time, the black feathers that were exhaustive of the wind gradually withered, and gradually transformed back into human form, being carried by strangers, and I don't know where to go.
......
Mo Xuan and Su Qingsang were sitting on the lotus leaves, and they had already floated out of the canyon with the huge crack, drifting with the current to a gentle water surface.
There was a mist here, and a little light appeared on the pitch-black dome overhead, which looked like a starry night sky, and it was this glimmer of light that allowed Mo Xuan to see this calm and vast water clearly.
This seems to be a huge stone cave in the middle of a mountain, except for the water flowing in at the entrance, it is surrounded by huge and majestic rock walls, Mo Xuan guessed that at the bottom of this stone cave, there should be a secret channel for the river to leave for the river.
On the surface of the lake, the lotus leaves grow huge and thick, and the lotus flowers that poke out from between the lotus leaves are also extremely luxuriant, and the flowers are even bigger than the human face, among them, the green lotus canopy is crystal clear throughout, like an emerald green spar, Su Qingsang's eyes are slightly bright, and he pulled Mo Xuan and said: "This lotus flower is from the water, but it is wood, you see that the lotus is green and clear, it is the wood spiritual power of the water system that is forced to gather in the lotus canopy, and it is slowly about to crystallize, this is a good thing!"
Mo Xuan paddled into the water with his hand, wanting to get close to one of them and take it off, but as soon as his hand reached into the water, an extremely piercing coldness spread up instantly, and a layer of frost condensed on his entire arm, Su Qingsang, who saw it, was startled, and quickly took Mo Xuan's hand over, and said with distress: "How can you stretch out your hand casually, the aura of the water system here is extremely strong, and your hands will freeze after a while in the water......
Mo Xuan only felt this coolness in his heart, and he also regretted what he had just done, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even touch this bit of river water.
Just as Su Qingsang was about to dry Mo Xuan's arm, suddenly this arm was slowly raised uncontrollably, pointing in the direction of the middle of the lake.
"Hmm, what?" Su Qingsang thought it was Mo Xuan's raised hand.
Mo Xuan looked at his uncontrolled arm in amazement, "The arm is uncontrollable!"
As soon as the words fell, Mo Xuan suddenly felt an extremely subtle gravitational pull, and pulled it along his arm, as if he wanted to pull something out of his body.
With this force, the lotus leaf on which the two of them were riding began to move slowly forward, floating towards the center of the lake.
Su Qingsang immediately got up, protected Mo Xuan, and looked at that place with his eyebrows, only to see that a mist was also shrouded in the water in the middle of the lake, and several clusters of lotus flowers trembled because of the ripples of the water waves.
In the water under the lotus flower, a black shadow as long as a coffin, the shadow seemed to be floating towards the water. (To be continued......)
