Chapter 156: Joining forces

The flames were raging on Mount Funiu, and dozens of people with faces blackened by smoke and dust chased their prey through the fire, while also dodging left and right to dodge the tongues of fire that rushed at them.

Burst!

With a soft sound, an unknown wild fruit burst open in the heat, the hot flesh mixed with juice splashed, and the eyes of a bandit were struck, and he screamed in pain, covering his eyes and stopping in place.

His companion ignored him and continued to chase his prey.

Zong Tianhua saw a giant tree in front of him that was engulfed in flames, drew his sword, and stabbed the two swords of the already crumbling tree.

The big tree spitting flames slowly fell, some thieves accelerated and rushed over, some unlucky ones were crushed under the tree, and some quickly stopped, although they escaped a catastrophe, they couldn't catch up with Zong Tianhua.

Zong Tianhua glanced back, and through the firelight, he vaguely saw that only about twenty people were still chasing after him.

Zong Tianhua suddenly stopped, twenty, can be solved.

Seeing that Zong Tianhua stopped, the more than 20 people gradually slowed down, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and started a new round of confrontation.

Zong Tianhua moved, took a step, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the gang of bandits.

Puff two swords, a thief has two more blood holes in his body, one in his chest and one in his lower abdomen.

It's not that Zong Tianhua's swordsmanship is not high, but that the thief has always used an axe to protect his neck, and in order to kill the enemy faster, Zong Tianhua chose to stab other vital points.

The two blows were successful, Zong Tianhua flicked the long sword in his hand, and a blood mark appeared on the waist of a thief next to him, Zong Tianhua followed with a flying kick, and the thief's body was directly split from the wound, his spine was broken, and his body was broken into two, only the other waist was still connected with a layer of skin.

The scene was somewhat bloody.

After Zong Tianhua kicked to the ground, he squatted on the ground with his short body, and his lower body exerted his strength, and his body twisted in place for half a circle, and the two thieves who were closer were directly cut off their feet.

In the blink of an eye, the bandits were killed and wounded.

When the remaining bandits reacted, Zong Tianhua had already withdrawn for a long distance.

"I haven't done it for half a year, but I'm a little rusty, and the killing speed is too slow!" Zong Tianhua, who had withdrawn, seemed to be a little dissatisfied and frowned.

So, he decided not to fight head-on, and ran away again.

Wen Yinian waited until Yuan Hu led people up the mountain before he came out of the grass, at this time half of the thieves had been led away by his people, and half of the thieves were in the burning Funiu Mountain.

"Lao Wen, have you found the third child?" At this time, Fan Yongzhi ran over panting.

"Where's your horse?" Wen Yinian asked.

"I'm tired and halfway through, so I've been running all the way. Fan Yongzhi gasped and said.

"The third child is still alive, but it seems that he is trapped on the mountain, so Yuan Hu went up with more than 400 bandits, and more than 400 people were led away by my people. Wen Yinian told Fan Yongzhi about the current situation.

"With the strength of the third child, it is not a problem to escape alone, he is still hiding from Yuan Hu and them in the mountains, it must be that he is still with someone. Fan Yongzhi analyzed that almost every once in a while, Zong Tianhua would rescue a group of women from the thieves' den.

"Could it be that the third child was bumped into when he was saving people, so he was exposed. Wen Yinian thought of this possibility.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Fan Yongzhi nodded approvingly.

"Let's go up?" Wen Yinian looked at Fan Yongzhi.

"I've bowed to the handle, how can I do it if I don't go up?" Fan Yongzhi shrugged with a smile. Wen Yinian also laughed, and then the two walked up the mountain side by side, and their figures were instantly engulfed in flames. In today's Funiu Mountain, even if the Dragon King comes to extinguish the fire, it will take a lot of time.

Liu Chu saw a mountain fire from a distance, so he rushed to this side, and on the way, he also saw a tired horse that fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, and confirmed that it was the two people who rode out of the city just now.

These two people are really not ordinary people.

When Liu Chu rushed to the foot of the burning Funiu Mountain, he happened to see Wen Yinian and Fan Yongzhi burrowing into the flames, such a big fire, the two of them were still going up the mountain, there must be something important or someone on the mountain.

"This should be Funiu Mountain, there is a group of bandits in Funiu Mountain who are particularly powerful, and those who want to deal with the bandits are likely to be people in the court, and the identities of these two people are about to come out, and they should be two of the three people in the county. ”

"Moreover, it is said that there is a gold vein under Funiu Mountain, and His Majesty asked me to come here for the first time, also to confirm this matter, the news of the gold vein, but it has been spread in some circles for many years, but no one has found gold so far. ”

Liu Chu stopped in front of the burning Funiu Mountain, pondered for a while, and then muttered to himself.

"Xiao Ning, you stay here, I'll go in and have a look. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chu felt that he should go in to see the situation, how to say that these two people were also court officials.

Although the most rational choice is to extinguish such a mountain fire, but for Liu Chu, this fire is nothing, if you are careful, there will be no danger to your life, and the cultivator who has stepped into the Qi Gathering Realm is still different from ordinary people in terms of life level, if he releases the "potential", even if he is besieged by the flames, he can last for an hour or two.

"I want to go up too. Xiao Ning said.

"No, the fire is too big, too dangerous. Liu Chu decisively refused.

"Oh. Xiao Ning let out a faint sigh.

After Liu Chu went up the mountain, Xiao Ning grimaced at Liu Chu's back and said to himself, "I don't want to wait here, it will be boring." This ignition, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

After speaking, Xiao Ning also drilled into Funiu Mountain, and the small figure disappeared into the sea of fire.

The flames crackled the surrounding trees, the sound of wood cracking due to the heat.

Zong Tianhua hid in a ravine, and in this crackling sound, mixed with messy footsteps, he speculated that more bandits had come up.

"In another half an hour, if they don't come, I'll leave myself. Zong Tianhua looked at the long sword in his hand, if he ran alone, it would not be a problem at all, he mainly wanted to take those women out.

However, if it is really impossible to do anything, he will also decisively give up those women, this is not a time for righteousness, it is better to escape one than to die all.

Knowing that you can't do it is not wise at all.

Zong Tianhua can die for his brother, but he won't die for someone he doesn't know, he has never been a person who will be kidnapped by morality, if he doesn't save someone, at most he will blame himself, that's all.

But at this moment, Zong Tianhua heard the messy footsteps and stopped, he poked his head out, and was surprised to find that his two brothers were surrounded by bandits.

"These two idiots, why don't you bring someone up?" Zong Tianhua was stunned for a moment.

Zong Tianhua is not like Wen Yinian, and he does not take the lives of his subordinates very seriously, he thinks that since those people have taken the silver, they should have the consciousness of selling their lives.

"Come here!" It was impossible for Zong Tianhua to watch them being besieged to death, Wen Yinian and Fan Yongzhi's strength was only at the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm, and they couldn't compare to him.

Zong Tianhua jumped out of the ravine, rushed towards the encirclement of the bandits, killed three people in a row, and opened a gap.

When Yuan Hu saw Zong Tianhua, the main master, his eyes immediately turned red, and he roared and ordered his subordinates to catch him.

Wen Yinian and Fan Yongzhi reacted quickly and rushed out through the torn opening, and then the three of them ran wildly together.

"Why don't you bring someone up?" asked Zong Tianhua as he ran.

"They've already lured away the other half of the bandits, otherwise we're in a much more dangerous situation at this time. Wen Yinian said.

Zong Tianhua sighed.

When Liu Chu entered Funiu Mountain, he searched aimlessly, during which he saw many animals that had been burned to death. He crouched beside a burnt hare, sniffed and smelled of roasted meat.

Liu Chu swallowed and foamed, cleaned off the charred fur on the hare's body, pulled off a rabbit leg, and when the rabbit leg was separated from the rabbit body, a stream of juice flowed along with the aroma of meat.

Take a bite on the rabbit's leg, tear off a large piece of meat, and chew it a few times.

Well, it smells so good!

Wen Yinian and the three of them were running, and suddenly bumped into a young man with a suspected rabbit leg or chicken leg, and both sides were stunned for a moment. Wen Yinian recognized it, this was the young man who had questioned him at the city gate earlier.

"County Order, County Cheng, Head Catcher?" Liu Chu took the rabbit leg and pointed at the three of them one by one.

"Who are you?" Wen Yinian frowned.

"Ahem, listen up, I'm ......"

"Catch them!"

Liu Chu cleared his throat and was about to reveal his identity as a patrol envoy, but was interrupted by the bandits who rushed up.

"Run first!" Wen Yinian pulled Liu Chu and ran for a distance by his arm.

"What a speed!" Liu Chu was surprised by Wen Yinian's speed, running with a person, and still being able to run so fast.

Shout!

There was a cracking sound, and a spear passed between the four of them, nailed firmly to a tree opposite.

"Where to escape!" At this time, the four of them heard a loud shout, and Yuan Hu jumped in the air and turned over, and stopped in front of the four people.

Liu Chu changed color slightly, the aura gathering realm was high, seeing that Yuan Hu's age was not very old, he didn't expect to meet a genius casually.

"The four of us together can beat him, but there are too many of them. Wen Yinian said, the hundreds of thieves behind are the real headaches.

"Little brother, although I don't know who you are, I feel that you are all the way with us, drag that Yuan Hu with me?" Wen Yinian said.

He planned to let Zong Tianhua and Fan Yongzhi deal with those bandits, and with the strength of the two of them, it would not be a problem to join forces to kill the more than 400 bandits.

"My name is Liu Chu, and Your Majesty is personally appointed as an inspection envoy. Liu Chu said.

Wen Yinian and the three of them glanced at each other, they really didn't know, they hadn't paid attention to the affairs of the imperial court for a long time, and their energy had always been focused on the golden vein.

However, since they are people from the imperial court, they are all their own people.

The four of them quickly divided the labor, and Zong Tianhua and Fan Yongzhi killed those bandits.

Liu Chu and Wen Yinian surrounded Yuan Hu, both of them were not as strong as Yuan Hu, but if they joined forces, they could still fight one or two. As long as they hold out until Zong Tianhua and Fan Yongzhi have their hands free, they won, and the four of them join forces, and there is no big problem.

A great battle unfolded on the burning Funiu Mountain.

At the same time, a small figure was bouncing towards the battlefield, and if you looked closely, you could find that those flames were wrapped up in the little figure, and it was difficult to hurt her in the slightest!
