Chapter 25: The Pursuit
The desert was vast, and the people who shouted didn't see it, Ye Ling's ears trembled, and he first caught a few sounds of hunting.
"Dark Arrow!"
While leaning down, Ye Ling looked for the wind and saw three or four stray arrows flying in mid-air.
These stray arrows were weak and weak, and before they could fly in front of Ye Ling, they lost their strength first.
"It seems that the archers are not aiming at me. ”
Ye Ling looked towards the top of the sand dune on the right, and he judged that this arrow could only come from the other side of the sand dune.
Just in time, a tall, scrawny boy emerged from the top of the sand dune.
He ran wildly in a panic, his pace like a duck, and he struggled forward with all his strength.
簌簌簌——!
Soon, another rain of arrows struck.
The boy threw himself down, using the slope to dodge the arrow's parabola, but was hit in the right arm by an arrow.
The pain was so severe that he almost fell off the sand dune, and at the same time, his gaze quickly swept to Ye Ling under the sand dune.
"Help, help me!" he shouted at Ye Ling for help.
He instinctively wanted to wave his hand to attract Ye Ling's attention, but in this way, the arrow that penetrated deep into his arm was triggered, and the sharp pain hit, his whole body went weak, and the whole person fell sideways and rolled down from the sand dune.
Ye Ling's heart sank, although he didn't know the identity of the boy, if he didn't rescue him immediately at this time, the boy would definitely die!
The sand dunes are not as smooth and flat as they seem, and beneath the fine sand are countless sharp rubble, hard plants, and weathered bones.
Whatever the boy pressed was enough to make his intestines rot and bleed.
Not to mention the arrow stuck across his arm, which had now been crushed by his own body, the wound had been picked open, and the flesh was blurred.
Turning over and jumping off the camel, Ye Ling stepped into the air, stopped in front of the boy in three or two steps, and scooped him up.
The boy's eyes were frightened, and his eyes were reddish-brown, as if they had been soaked in blood.
At this time, at the top of the dune, four more people wearing black cloaks appeared.
They held bows and arrows in their hands, and when they saw the boy being rescued by Ye Ling, their bodies shook, they looked at each other, and the person standing on the far left quickly stood up.
He shouted at Ye Ling, with a fierce momentum, but his words were very restrained and polite.
"Hey, that little brother, thank you for helping us catch the thief, now please hand him over to us, we are willing to pay the reward!"
Before the words fell, the boy beside Ye Ling quickly rushed behind him, his teeth trembled, and his mouth kept repeating: "No, I'm not a thief, I'm not a ......"
Ye Ling tilted his head slightly, looked at the boy a few times with his spare eyes, and already had a judgment in his heart.
"Men above, you said that this kid stole your things, what did he steal from you?" he replied politely.
"This-it's inconvenient to tell you, you just have to hand it over!" Facing Ye Ling's questioning, the black cloak in the lead was speechless for a while.
"However, I see that this place is deserted, and the nearest town is dozens of miles away, this kid is in tatters, has no weapons and no horses, how can he steal a few of you martial artists from the Tongmai Realm?"
Ye Ling smiled indifferently, and continued: "I see that a few of you are well-equipped and full of physical strength, so you are more like bandits blocking the road and committing crimes!"
Ye Ling's words were exquisite, poking at the loopholes in the words of those people, and the last sentence even clarified the identity of the other party.
Several black cloaks didn't say anything more, and they shot arrows with their hands and feet, and the dense rain of arrows hit Ye Ling mercilessly!
"Get down!" Ye Ling said softly to the boy, then drew his knife out of its sheath and cut off the arrows in unison.
Seeing that Ye Ling's strength was extraordinary, his cultivation was unfathomable, and the leading black cloak was also resolute, he said to his accomplices: "The idea is hard, withdraw!"
"Want to run?"
Ye Ling's toes touched lightly on the sand, and his body had jumped out of a distance of dozens of steps and intercepted in front of the four of them.
"Boss, I can't run, let's fight hard!"
The black cloaks pulled out the scimitars at their waists and unleashed their martial arts on Ye Ling: Full Moon Slash.
It's a pity that the Tongmai Realm against the Mountain Destroying Realm is really like a mayfly shaking a tree, and what they think is a fierce offensive is as childish and ridiculous as a child's play in Ye Ling's eyes.
"Death. Ye Ling's pupils flashed with a golden light.
Under the "Trick of Solving the Bull War", the weaknesses of these warriors were undoubtedly exposed in his eyes.
The hearts of several bandits trembled, and they saw the young man in front of him collect his sword and draw his sword, and his body was in severe pain like electricity, and he was killed on the spot in an instant.
"How can a ruthless man leave you alive? ”
When Ye Ling killed the four evil bandits, every time he attacked, he used the "One Word Breaking Heaven Formula".
He could feel that every time he used this move, it was a little more powerful than the last time.
It's really just a little bit.
It is estimated that there will be a significant improvement, but you still have to follow the cheats to kill ten wicked people before you can feel it.
Turning around, Ye Ling walked back to the boy.
Under the scorching sun, the grit was as hot as a hot iron plate, but the boy lay obediently on the ground, barely moving.
"Get up. ”
When he was young, the boy did not move.
"Get up, I've slain all the bad guys. ”
This time, the boy tried to get up, but only a few symbolic strokes of his arm on the ground made him, and then he lost his strength. ”
Ye Ling felt that something was wrong.
Bend down and pick up the boy's shoulders.
"Ahh
Ye Ling let out a short exclamation.
Where is the boy in front of him?
This is clearly a poisonous corpse with a black and shriveled face!
Ye Ling immediately recalled the dried corpses in the docks of Yuyang City.
The boy was rapidly "withering", and in a few minutes he would be like the dried corpse!
It's this poison again!
Ye Ling began to realize that this was not a simple robbery.
The identities of the four thieves must have a lot to do with the people who created this bone-eroding poison!
Right now, he wanted to immediately check on the bodies of the four thieves, but the boy was about to die, so he could only stay and forcibly inject the boy with aura.
Unfortunately, this crude approach to data makes no sense.
The breath of life is dying in the boy......
A moment before he died, the boy squeezed out a few illegible words in a dry and hoarse voice: "Camel Town...... Outside...... Millstone, ...... again in the evening"
Camel Town, Millstone, go again in the evening.
Fortunately, Ye Ling had chatted with Huyan and Le for a long time before he came, and knew that there was a camel town in this Cangyun City.
Otherwise, the boy's speech would be indistinct, and Ye Ling would not be able to distinguish at all.
"Okay, I'll go back there and have a look. ”
The bones of the price boy were put aside for the time being, and Ye Ling checked the clothes and corpses of several thieves.
Sure enough, after five years, Ye Ling saw that familiar pattern again: cross plum blossoms.
Ye Ling originally wanted to search the enemy again to see if there were any loot that could be used.
But just as he was about to stretch out his hand, the thief's clothes burned violently!
This flame is extremely strange, showing a dark green like the fire of the Bloody Hell!
"Soul Burning Pill!"
Ye Ling quickly realized the natural cause of the corpse.
The Soul Burning Pill is a combination of thirteen poisonous herbs.
Different herbs resist each other, but lose their own toxicity.
Warriors eat it while they are alive and will have no effect.
However, once the warrior dies, this burning pill will quickly react with the blood of the deceased, igniting a dark green fierce flame.
Since the cost of this elixir is not expensive, many killer organizations, assassins, dead soldiers, and other groups of people will take the Soul Burning Pill all year round.
The corpse violently spontaneously combusted, and in an instant, even the clothes and bones turned into dust in the desert and disappeared without a trace.
"What a vicious organization. ”
Ye Ling began to realize that this was not a simple poisoning incident.
It's a huge conspiracy lurking beneath a sea of sand.
