Volume 1: The First Battle (1)
"Catch him, don't let him run away! Search me! Dig three feet into the ground and catch this thief to comfort the souls of his dead brothers in heaven!" The noise is intertwined with the sound of dense footsteps, in the dense forest, a group of beggar disciples are searching for something in the carpet, the first one is slightly fat, with long braids hanging behind his head, if he is not dressed in a beggar suit, it is difficult to see that this is also a beggar, and on his side is a young man with a spear, and the disciples of the beggar gang mostly use wooden sticks as soldiers, and this one has a young face, at a glance, he knows that he is not as weak as a crown, and he has refined short hair, which looks a little funny.
"Elder Wang, Thunder Protector ......" A beggar disciple ran back from the front.
"The brethren found blood not far ahead, and they don't know ......"
"Take me to see!" The fat beggar's face immediately changed, and with a wave of his hand, he followed the disciple with the spear boy.
"Look, Elder, it's right here. The disciple nodded and pointed ahead, and there was a pool of blood on the ground not far away.
Seeing this, the spear boy walked over and squatted down, touched it lightly with his index finger, and then turned to the fat beggar and nodded.
The fat beggar immediately looked up at the bloodstains, and the dripping bloodstains spread all the way, but at a fork in the road not far away, they were divided into two strands, and then disappeared at the same time.
The fat beggar nodded at the spear boy, turned around and beckoned all the beggar gang disciples to come over, and said loudly, "The disciples of Tianxuan Divider follow me!"
Just jumped up, galloped towards the left side of the fork in the road, and the figure soon blended into the dense forest, the spear boy didn't say a word, turned his head and nodded to the remaining disciples, and shot out to the right side of the fork, and the rest of the disciples followed quickly with interest, blending into the dense forest.
Night, coming, deep in the dense forest, a stone wall is covered with vines, if you look closely, you can see that under the vine cover, there is a cave that only allows one person to pass through, the thick wheezing sound accompanied by the slightest smell of blood came from the cave, the pale face of the thunder owl sat here, leaning against the wall, beads of sweat the size of beans covered his forehead, his clothes were soaked with blood, and there were still traces of undried blood at the corners of his mouth.
A thunderclap suddenly sounded, and the thunderbolt, who was gasping for breath, reflexively rolled sideways to the side.
The wound was torn again as it rolled, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of Lei Xiao's mouth again, and he sat up with the broken knife that had been shattered.
It turned out to be thunder...... Lei Xiao had palpitations, at this time he was seriously injured, at the shoulder blade, a blood hole kept gushing out of blood, his clothes were torn, and he was embarrassed, like a frightened bird.
"Boom!" another spring thunder exploded, and a light rain came, and the humid air filled the cave with the smell of earth, bringing a hint of coolness to the sweat-soaked thunder owl.
"Beggar Gang!" Lei Xiao's fists were clenched, his knuckles were white, he understood that the beggar gang would find him sooner or later, Zhuang Xueyan's serious injury, Su Dong would inevitably be angry with himself, so he simply hid a long time ago, but he didn't expect the beggar gang to send Wang Yougong and two Dharma protectors and hundreds of disciples to Luancheng directly, and when he could react, it was too late, the beggar gang seemed to be determined to find himself, blocked the entire Luancheng, digging three feet into the ground, last night, after desperately killing a Dharma protector, Wang Yougong was stabbed through the shoulder blade by another young man with a spear before escaping into this dense forest。
He closed his eyes slightly, sat cross-legged, and was about to breathe, but he heard a rush of footsteps overhead.
Lei Xiao had a broken knife in his right hand, and he didn't dare to come out.
A faint glow of fire filtered through the cracks in the vines, flooding the cave with a little light.
"Elder Wang, could it be that the thunder owl is not in this direction, the brothers have already followed so far, this dense forest is full of wild beasts and poisonous insects, and several brothers have been injured. "The voice above his head sounded, it was the beggars!
"It won't be wrong, that Lei Xiao deliberately left two blood stains at the fork in the road, in order to let us guess the wrong direction, but I never thought that our soldiers were divided into two roads, just along the way, although they tried their best to hide, but the faint smell of blood in the air could not be covered, he was hit by the old man's two palms, and was shot by Lin Protector to pick the shoulder blades, such a serious injury must not go far, must be around here, give me a careful search!"
"Wang Yougong!" Lei Xiao gritted his teeth, listening to this voice was very familiar, and the two palms on his chest and back were due to him.
Dense footsteps sounded again with Wang Yougong's order, the beggars and disciples scattered in all directions, Lei Xiao held his breath and looked at the entrance of the cave, at this moment the thick vines were stained with rain, and he couldn't see the outside scene, but it gave him a sense of security.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the torches have been extinguished because of the heavy rain, and there is no light, and the search for the beggars has doubled.
A pillar of incense passed, and a conversation came from the top of his head: "Elder Wang, the brothers who split the rudder have already rummaged through the surrounding three miles, but they have not found him. ”
"Well......" Wang Yougong responded, and then said: "Lei Xiao, this evil thief, Elder Zhuang was seriously injured by the gangsters, and now he has killed Lin Protector, it is really a great crime, and he must not be allowed to escape from Dingzhou, and now Youzhou is too virtual to chase and kill him, and he has nowhere to hide, so he will send the brothers of the rudder to keep an eye on the exit of this forest, once he finds him, immediately send a signal, let's go!"
The footsteps gradually faded away, Lei Xiao still didn't dare to move with his breath, he wasn't sure if the person on his head was really gone, and he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that someone would suddenly discover the cave.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Lei Xiao pricked up his ears, there was no other sound except the sound of the rain, his hanging heart finally let go, he breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense body softened, and his legs sat cross-legged again, wanting to breathe.
"Da Da ......" The footsteps sounded again on his head, and Lei Xiao's heart was raised to his throat again.
Li Changan jumped out of the cave, wanted to go straight to Quyang County, but when he came out, he was dumbfounded, looked around, in addition to the tree or the tree, a zhang away, a toad faced himself on the wet stone, his cheeks bulged and deflated, stuck out his tongue, "quack", and jumped away.
Dazed......
has a goal but no direction, Li Changan scratched his head, and set off in one direction casually, no matter how big the dense forest is, he will always go out.
However, it turned out that this was not the case, Li Changan didn't know how long he had walked, if the color had darkened today, the visibility was getting lower and lower, and he looked up to catch a glimpse of a little fire in the distance.
"Torch?!Someone !!?" At this moment, Li Changan was only thinking about how to leave this ghost place, and he really didn't care who it was, how many people there were, even if he used light skills to go in the direction of the firelight.
"Boom!" The sudden explosion of thunder almost blew Li Changan down in mid-air.
"Damn!" The rain came again, Li Changan scolded angrily, and sure enough, the fire shrank rapidly in the heavy rain until it was completely annihilated.
Li Changan's internal force was running to the extreme, and the sound of sonic booms came out one after another under his feet, and he went at full speed towards Fang Cai's direction.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Li Changan's face was covered with rain, and he couldn't see clearly in this dark night, and after almost hitting a tree, Li Changan stopped on the stone wall.
Looking at the torch under his feet, Li Changan squatted down, picked up the embers on the ground with his thumb and forefinger, and slowly crushed them.
There is also temperature, and people have not gone far.
Li Changan immediately stood up, but when he looked around, he realized that under the torrential rain, where could he tell whether it was a person or a ghost, let alone find them.
He raised his head and wiped his face with his right hand, his soaked clothes clinging to his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
You have to find a place to shelter from the rain first, Li Changan thought to himself.
Li Changan was worried above, but he didn't know that the thunder owl in the stone cave under his feet also raised his head and listened carefully to the sound above his head, the rain was too heavy, and he couldn't hear anything, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all, and now in his own situation, any beggar disciple could easily kill himself.
Li Changan looked around, in this empty place, where can I hide from the rain? Forget it, let's go forward first. The moment is a step out.
"Ah!!" Lei Xiao was startled by the sudden cry in the night rain, looked at the hole covered with vines, the broken knife supported himself to stand up, and walked to the hole step by step, he wanted to see what happened, otherwise if he continued like this, if he couldn't breathe, he didn't need the beggar gang to find himself, and this internal injury could kill him.
Slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, step by step, slowly approaching, but at this time saw the vines shaking violently, Lei Xiao immediately raised his knife to the entrance of the cave, the vines stopped shaking, and there was a sound of rustling, Lei Xiao held a knife in his right hand, and his left hand slowly stretched out to the vines at the entrance of the cave.
"Brush!" A black shadow suddenly came out of the vines, and directly collided with Lei Xiao, and immediately Lei Xiao spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out.
Li Changan only felt that he had bumped into something, and he was also dizzy, so he was about to walk forward, but in the dark, he actually fell off the cliff with one foot in the air, but fortunately he grabbed the vines on the stone wall in a panic, groped and found this hole and jumped in.
Listening to the sound of the rain, but not feeling the rain, in the darkness Li Changan knew that he should have found a place to hide from the rain, but it was pitch black now, if there were any beasts and poisonous insects in this cave, it might not be said.
As soon as his eyes rolled, Li Changan had an idea, touched the vines at the entrance of the cave, and pulled hard, and several vines were pulled into his hands.
Soaked in the rain, there was no choice but to settle.
Li Changan used his internal force, and the "Wood-burning Knife Method" was used, and against the vines thrown on the ground, the red light of his palm diffused and there was a burst of rapid chopping.
For a moment, the faint red light in the cave pierced through the darkness.
"Boom!" The hard work paid off, Li Changan finally evaporated the water and ignited the pile of vines, and the fire lit up the entire cave in an instant, and Li Changan immediately looked inside.
"Huh!????"
