Chapter 250: The Human Bait Pit
Two days later, the night was dark and windy.
The Yueyang Tower in the south of the town was black and rumbling, without a trace of light. Three dark shadows climbed in from the backyard, looking at the familiar house, each with mixed feelings.
These three people are the scorching sun, Lu Yu, and Leng Qianshuang who rushed to rob the town.
"Why is there no one?" Lieyang muttered suspiciously, seeing that Leng Qianshuang and Lu Yu were a little tired, so he said, "You go to my house to rest, I'll go to the town to find out, and bring some food back by the way." ”
Lu Yu and Leng Qianshuang nodded in unison, and after Lieyang left, they went to the second floor of the main building to rest for a while. They knew that Yueyang Tower was not trivial, and they did not hold the lamp, and they were always vigilant about the surrounding situation.
According to the original plan, now they just came back to see the three apprentices, and if everything is well, they will fly over the Valley of Tribulation overnight and enter the free trade zone in the territory of the Blue Wolf Country.
Ten minutes later, however.
The breath of the scorching sun reappeared in Yueyang Tower, Leng Qianshuang sensed that his emotions were not quite right, and when he went up to the second floor, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something could have happened. The sound of the scorching sun was very soft, and it was not until Leng Qianshuang used the formation technique to set up a soundproof formation in the house that the hot noodle soup that was packed back was laid out.
The cold wind blew all the way, and the faces were stiff, and everyone wanted to eat hot now.
Lie Yang sat down and said, "Master Liu said that Liu Jianlong, Tang Yu, and Xu Yan have gone hunting in the eastern suburbs for ten days! But they made an appointment before setting off that they would definitely go home within ten days." Liu Jianlong is extremely filial, and if it is not an accident, he will never break his promise to his parents. ”
"Now the eyeliner that monitors Yueyanglou is actually not as much as before, and it is not as strong as before. Leng Qianshuang was afraid that the sun was in a hurry, and comforted, "It rained heavily a few days ago, maybe the muddy roads in the deep mountains delayed the trip?"
It can only be said that it is possible, and the sun cannot be assured after all.
Quickly eliminating a bowl of hot noodle soup, he frowned and said, "The three brothers followed me for a while, but because they were not talented, they were left by me in the robbery town. If I lose my life because of me, I will not be able to live in peace......"
Lu Yu understood Lieyang's mood very well, and said softly: "Then let's go to the eastern suburbs of the mountains to find out?"
A few minutes later, the three of them who had taken a short break took advantage of the night to take off to the lake behind Yueyang Tower, and quickly turned to the east!
The path on the east side of the town is very clear, except for an official road to Jing'an, there is only a mountain path on the south side, and after crossing the trail, you will reach the Yan River.
The scorching sun set at the trailhead on the south side, and the spirit was full of extravagance, and the scene with a radius of sixty or seventy meters was "fully seen" in the dark rumbling night.
"This is ......" didn't go a few steps before he made a discovery.
Lieyang's body was longitudinal, Leng Qianshuang and Lu Yu hurriedly caught up, only to see Lieyang stop at a lump of "black and mushy" things, and after a closer look, they knew that it was a hunter's backpack.
And the same rucksack, Lieyang soon found two more nearby.
Lu Yu and Leng Qianshuang also found three crossbow arrows......
"The rucksack belongs to the three of them. Lieyang was very sure, his eyes were full of murderous energy, "They are all full of goods, and they must have been ambushed on the way back." ”
Lu Yu carefully observed the three crossbow arrows he had collected, and analyzed: "Two crossbow arrows have been cut off, and one of them has also been bruised, and the first round of ambushes should have been avoided." ”
"Look!" Leng Qianshuang pointed to a small pit the size of a foot that appeared on the ground, "It looks like a footprint when he twists his body to exert force, it should be after resisting the bow and crossbow, he immediately turned around and fled to the mountain!"
“......”
Lie Yang frowned, looked at the dark outline of the mountains, adjusted his breathing slightly, pinched out the Yanguan Sword in his left hand, and walked forward quickly. Two days of heavy rain can wash away the shallow footprints, but not the many crossbow arrows along the path!
As the path deepened, the grass and trees became more and more dense, and the broken grass and trees, and the crossbow arrows chasing after him, seemed to reappear in front of the eyes of the scorching sun.
Until......
"There are blood stains here!" Lu Yu's voice made Lieyang's heart tremble. He had long been accustomed to life and death on the battlefield in the Wild Sands, but after the sacrifice of the Eighteen Horsemen of the Burning Wind, Lieyang finally understood what heartache was.
He is not a war machine.
Just a sentimental teenager under twenty years old!
Leng Qianshuang surveyed forward and found again: "There are also here!"
Looks like he was hit by an arrow.
Well, you won't be able to run far!
Lie Yang tried to keep there no superfluous expression on his face, gritted his teeth and said softly: "Let's follow the bloodstains to find!"
The three of them searched in the darkness of the night, and they were all the spirits of the peak of the earth, and they could easily distinguish the smell of blood on the ground. Sure enough, I didn't take a few steps before I found a strong bloody smell in a thatched field!
In the tall meadow, there was a corpse.
The corpse was wearing a green coat that was easy to hide, and its head and neck were pierced by bamboo arrows, and the red and white things were dripping all over the ground, and the smell was unpleasant.
"Huh......" Lieyang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he was not one of the three apprentices, but his heart was still tense, "I don't know how many killers they have encountered." ”
Leng Qianshuang said: "At least three, at most five, the strongest is the Enlightenment Upper Realm." ”
In the end, it is a killer sect, and it is more sensitive to the observation of details: "There are no obvious traces of destruction of the grass and trees along the way, and the pursuit formation is relatively concentrated, indicating that the number of killers is not large." Xu Yan and the others were able to escape here, which means that there are no killers in the Dixuan Domain. ”
Of the three apprentices, only Liu Jianlong had the potential to become a cultivator, and to assassinate such three people, a few Enlightenment Domain killers were enough, but fortunately, they were able to use traps to deal with the killers.
The scorching sun didn't dare to hold out much hope, and the angry Fire Spirit Blade broke through the path between the grass and trees, and the beasts and insects in the deep mountains screamed and fled quickly.
The rest of the path became winding as the mountain climbed, and on a seemingly mundane mountain trail, the sun slowed down. Here is the mountain wall on the right, and there are many plants on the left, and the mountain wind is strong, and the grass blades are rattling.
"What's wrong?" Leng Qianshuang didn't know why.
Blazing Sun stretched out his hand to push aside the rather dense branches and blades of grass, and a sharp bend appeared in front of the three of them. If you try to catch up, I'm afraid you will be planted directly.
A black hole-like abyss that seems to swallow everything!
Lu Yu blinked in surprise: "No wonder the mountain wind is so strong, it turns out that there is a cliff behind the grass and trees......"
Lieyang pursed his lips, the wind speed here is extremely fast, the air flow is complicated, and he can't use the Wind and Snow Wing, he hesitated for a moment, and even jumped lightly into the abyss regardless of it!
There was a black rumbling outside the cliff, and in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow, and when I looked closely into the abyss, I could barely see a blazing fire.
When Lu Yu and Leng Qianshuang were all taken aback, they only heard the calm and slightly excited voice of the scorching sun from the mountain wind: "There are three killer corpses under the cliff!"
Immediately, the flame quickly swept up, disappearing as it was about to rush up the cliff, and the scorching sun used the inertia of the black wings to accurately return to the place where he jumped.
Facing the two surprised faces, Lieyang just smiled slightly: "See?"
Lu Yu and Leng Qianshuang nodded their chins in unison, and it looked like they had seen a monster - the Black Wing Fire Feather was essentially different from the Spirit Eye Heavenly Feather that could only be mastered by the top Cave Heaven Domain powerhouses!
Both of them were extremely close to the Cave Heaven Domain, so they must have their own conjectures.
"Try to keep it as secretive as possible. There was no time to explain now, so Lieyang exhaled lightly and continued to search.
Turning the desperate bend on the cliff, followed by the eighteen bends that twisted back and forth, the small blood stains along the way pointed the way to the scorching sun.
Go straight down to a hidden pit in the ravine.
——
It's a dark night, surrounded by the chirping of insects. The sounds of tickling people come and go, but they make the barren mountains and mountains even more deadly and silent.
The pit is two meters long and wide, five or six meters deep, the scorching sun waved his hand and sprinkled a little spark, Lu Yu and Leng Qianshuang were stunned - I saw that the bottom of the pit was covered with two-foot-long barbs!
The pungent smell of fish, from a corpse in the pit, had been pierced into a sieve.
"Five killers......" Lieyang narrowed his eyes, suppressing the fury in his heart.
Leng Qianshuang searched carefully around, but found nothing else, and stared at Lie Yang: "All traces are broken." ”
Lu Yu wanted to say something comforting, but when his thin lips opened lightly, he saw Lieyang take a step forward and jumped into the pit!
"......" Lu Yu hurriedly chased further, and when he leaned down to look down, he found an extremely strange scene - the space for the pit was very limited, and such a big living person jumped down and disappeared!
Hurriedly searched with soul power, only to find that the location of the sun was within the side wall of the pit, Lu Yu lit up a beam of light in his hand, and when he looked closely, there was a horizontal narrow cave on the side wall of the pit!
"It's called a human bait pit. Lu Yuzheng didn't know why, the voice of the slack sun came, and he saw him pop up at the entrance of the cave, and with a force in his hand, he actually dragged someone out!
Leng Qianshuang saw the face full of dirt clearly, gritted her teeth and said: "Liu Jianlong......"
"Well, they're all alive, but they're not in good shape. Lieyang used the flying ability of the black wing to bring Liu Jianlong to the ground, and went back and forth twice, rescuing Xu Yan and Tang Yu in the cave together: "The human bait pit is to use the hostility of wild beasts to humans, and the human bait jumps into the pit and enters the side wall cave, and the pursuing beast falls into the bottom of the pit. ”
He said as he tended to the injuries of the three apprentices.
Leng Qianshuang and Lu Yu also helped together, and the place where Xu Yan and Tang Yu were hit by the arrow was not critical, which made the mood that had been tense all night a lot easier.
But......
After Lieyang applied the medicine to Liu Jianlong, he clenched his fists and creaked.
"What's wrong?" Leng Qianshuang sensed something.
"Alas......" Lie Yang pointed to the location of Liu Jianlong's dantian and sighed, "An arrow from the side of the waist pierced his dantian - I found a fragment of the spirit seed in his body, it should have been not long after the spirit seed was condensed." ”
The cultivation of one body was in vain, and the cultivation talent was ruined......
As cultivators, Leng Qianshuang and Lu Yu both knew what this meant, and the scorching sun on their sides had just come out of almost the same injuries.
It's a pity that there is no second dark sky in this world.
"Anyone who has anything to do with me will be driven out and killed...... "Lieyang's heart burned like fire, and his anger rushed to the seven orifices.
Leng Qianshuang also coexisted with the three apprentices, and there was some friendship, and he gritted his teeth and said: "When my strength is enough, I will definitely kill the Xuanxing Imperial City and take the head of the Dog Emperor!"
