Chapter 4: Pursuit in the Woods

"Whew.... Whew..."

"Step... Trample... Pedal ......"

The silence was broken by a slightly rapid breath in the new forest that shrouded in darkness, and then a flurry of footsteps was heard, gradually heading towards the only dirt road.

"Phew...."

A slightly embarrassed figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, and the anxious look on his face was revealed in the moonlight, but the sudden height difference in front of him also surprised this figure, so when he landed in the middle of the road, the lower plate was slightly unstable, and he staggered over.

But he did not stop there, for when he leaped out of the new forest, he had already seen where the road was leading, so he took advantage of the situation, rolled on the ground and jumped up again, landed firmly in the middle of the road, and then began to run rapidly along one end of the road without making any unnecessary movements.

"Woohoo"

But just as he took the first step, a dark shadow appeared again from where he appeared, on the left and right, and the right hand of one on the right flung towards him at the same time.

"Damn"

An inexplicable danger appeared in the man's heart, as if he would surely die after taking this step, and with a fierce curse in his heart, he twisted the direction of his right foot that was about to fall, and turned towards the other side of the road, and ran into the new forest again.

Looking at the place where he wanted to step out, three small silver needles flashed with cold glow, leaving only three tiny points of light in the dirt, and the whole root had sunk into the ground, showing no traces.

"Yo, I didn't expect this animal to be so sensitive to danger, and if he is really a cowardly mouse, we should have ended his life a long time ago."

A charming and mature female voice came from under the mantle's cloak, making Zhu Jin, who had just entered the new forest, face more and more embarrassed.

The other two black-clothed figures did not speak, and seeing this woman, they did not continue, but when they passed the place where the three silver needles were, the light on the slender right hand flashed slightly, and with a quick flick on the ground, the three silver needles were retracted, and then followed closely behind Zhu Jin.

It has been nearly an hour since Zhu Jin fled from the camp, and with the cultivation strength of the four people, he has already traveled a distance of nearly thirty miles.

However, in this hour's time, the three black-clothed cloaked men did not kill Zhu Jin, but only followed behind him and on the left and right, as if they wanted to force Zhu Jin in a certain direction, only when he wanted to change the running route, one of the three would mercilessly kill him and force him back.

"These three damn madmen not only dare to pretend to be nocturnal people, but they dare to tease me like this!!

Soon, as long as I continue like this, I will be able to escape from the pursuit of these three madmen, as long as I can reach the agreed place, I will see if you still have the courage to follow me at that time", Zhu Jin said fiercely in his heart, and the pace of movement under his feet also accelerated a little.

Although he didn't know what the three of them had planned, he was familiar with this area, but he also knew that there would be a glimmer of life not far in front of him, so he wouldn't be in danger until he fell into despair completely.

"Who are you, you dare to pretend to be a nocturnal walker to do such a thing, if you let the nocturnal walker know, even if you leave this area, there will be no way to live", in order not to let the three people behind him doubt his thoughts, Zhu Jin turned his head angrily and shouted while running.

"Hehe, this old boy is really good at, can't nocturnal people kill you?, or do you know nocturnal people very well?", a man's voice with a hint of banter came from the cloak on Zhu Jin's left side.

Hearing the voice of the man in the cloak, Zhu Jin, who was running quickly, was obviously stunned, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was recalling something.

It's just that after he thought hard for a while, he couldn't recall any relevant content, so he put it down and said in a cold voice: "Hmph, although I don't know people who walk at night, I still have a sense of awe for night walking, but it's not like the three of you who hide your head and tail, you are so bold that you want to use your identity as a night walker to kill people, so bold that you have to admire it deeply."

"Don't talk nonsense, don't think that we don't know your plans, although you are familiar with this place, but for today, we have spent three whole years arranging it, and we are more familiar with this place than you", at this time, a man's voice also came from under the cloak behind Zhu Jin, and Zhu Jin's plans were completely revealed.

"You guys.... Who are you, what grievances do I have with you, and why did you spend three years!", Zhu Jin's face was a little heavier again, and he felt inexplicable fear in his heart.

His mind turned around, but the thoughts between his eyebrows lingered, but in the end, he was disappointed that he could not find any relevant clues.

"Hmph, you'll know who we are when you're dying," said the man in the black cloak.

Time passed slowly, and in the process, as long as Zhu Jin didn't make any moves to change his escape route, the three black-cloaked men would not attack him.

On the contrary, he would not hesitate to kill him, and Zhu Jin did not dare to risk his life to test the determination of the three of them, because he already had many wounds on his body, although these wounds were not fatal, but they were all the price he paid for when he wanted to risk breaking through the siege of the three black-cloaked men.

Therefore, in the next half an hour, Zhu Jin did not take risks again, and after such a long time of chasing and escaping, the four of them all felt that the true qi in their bodies had been consumed by more than half.

At this moment, a hundred-meter-high hill appeared in front of the four of them, which happened to sit on the path that the four of them had to pass, and dozens of miles away in the direction of the right side of the hill, there was also a light that was still bright in the dark night.

Seeing the appearance of this piece of light, Zhu Jin's face at the forefront was overjoyed, and the joy in his eyes continued, he had already thought about the current situation without any hesitation, and his pace accelerated a few points again, just to get out of the siege of the three black-clothed cloaked men in advance.

However, just as he was about to change the direction of his journey, the speed of the black-clothed cloaked man behind him on his right skyrocketed, and the aura that erupted from his body became even stronger, and it appeared directly in front of Zhu Jin in the blink of an eye.

And her fair and slender jade hands were also shining, and seven hundred and forty-nine slender silver needles with a finger length directly blocked every direction of Zhu Jin, leaving no loopholes for Zhu Jin, so that Zhu Jin had to stop, and looked at the three black-clothed cloaked people who surrounded him with a blue face.

"I didn't expect you to be a strong person in the Jade Pill Realm, it seems that I, Zhu Jin, really can't leave today, but there are not many strong people in the Jade Pill Realm in the entire Starfall Land, who are you!?", looking at the silver needle without any dead ends around him, Zhu Jin said with a pale face, but he was very afraid in his heart.

"But you don't care who you are, not only are you bold enough to pretend to be a nocturnal person, but you also chose to rob my Zhu Jin hunting group at this time, I'm afraid you don't know who the person standing behind me is", but at the last moment, Zhu Jin suddenly sneered.

For Zhu Jin's sneer, the cloak woman just sighed faintly, and her charming voice came again, but it was full of hatred: "Do you really think that you can escape from the hands of the three of us? For this day, the three of us have waited for three years, if it weren't for all the preparations, you would have gone to hell three years ago, so no matter who is standing behind you, there are some things you have to pay for today."

"You guys really spent three years arranging today!!", Zhu Jin was shocked in his heart, and his face was also extremely shocked.

But what made him more concerned was that the three of them were able to endure for so long before attacking him, and this forbearance was even more terrifying in his opinion.

"Hey, looking at the way you look, you must have forgotten about that incident that happened three years ago, but it's okay, you'll remember it soon, since we can all endure it for three years, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time", the black-cloaked man on Zhu Jin's left said in a deep voice.

But he didn't leave Zhu Jin any time to react, and raised his right hand slightly to signal the black-clothed woman in the cloak who was controlling the silver needle.

"Whoa... Woohoo"

The entire seventy-seven forty-nine silver needles glowed faintly white at the same time, and pierced Zhu Jin's body at the same time at an extremely fast speed.

"Stop, I have what the young landlord needs in my hand, aren't you afraid of being hunted down and killed by the two forces in the Starfall Land for life", Zhu Jin's face changed greatly when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted out the life-saving straw in his heart, and drummed up the true qi in his body, and wanted to bounce all the silver needles floating around him.

Unexpectedly, with a wave of his left hand, a small cyan snake appeared within his cuff, and the snake head that swallowed the core bit his neck in the blink of an eye.

Even though Zhu Jin's body was strong enough to resist attacks of the same level, it still didn't play any defensive role under the teeth of the cyan snake, and it was easily pierced into the flesh and blood.

He only felt a tingling sensation coming from the place where he was bitten, and it spread to every part of his body along with the true qi in his body, and his mind was instantly filled with a tingling sensation coming from every part of his body, which made his movements stop.

Then there were seven hundred and forty-nine silver needles without the slightest mistake, piercing his skin one by one, locking the same number of tricks on his body, so that the true qi he had condensed instantly dispersed, and his body could no longer move.

"You ....."

Zhu Jin, who was paralyzed, wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he found that every flesh and blood on his body had been completely stiffened, and his eyes suddenly fell into darkness.

The three black-cloaked men glanced at each other, and from their eyes, they could see that they were a little surprised by Zhu Jin's words, but they did not change their original intentions, and the strongest cloak woman nodded slightly to the other two companions, and left here with Zhu Jin, who was completely unconscious.

The other two turned around and left, looking at the direction they were heading, it was undoubtedly the camp where Zhu Jin and the others were.
