Chapter 74: The Trap
A ladybug clings to a blade of grass and sucks the dew.
At this time, the sun has not yet risen, and it is the time when the morning dew is at its fullest, and many insects living in the mountains and forests get up and start their morning routine of replenishing water.
The ladybug spotted a large drop of delicious dew and was drinking it to maintain its water consumption for the day.
Suddenly, a boot slammed on the grass, and the ladybug, which was unresponsive, was trampled underfoot. By the time the boots were lifted, only two broken insect wings were left glued to the fallen blades of grass.
The old housekeeper Qian Yuan was not in a very good state at this time, after an hour of difficult climbing and follow-up tracking, the neat bun that he had been taking care of was also a little loose, a few strands of gray hair hung down on the side of his face, and his face was stained with sweat and dust, which made the old housekeeper who had always maintained a meticulous appearance in the house look a little embarrassed.
And the palms that made him famous were not too good, six of the ten nails had fallen, and they were still dripping with blood, but they were hastily wrapped in the torn placket.
Although Qian Yuan's cultivation of the "Seven Star Palm" is not a very powerful martial art, it is also a very good palm technique in the early stage of the innate realm, and the old housekeeper has been obsessed with it for decades, and he has already become superb, even if it intersects with the sword, it will not be damaged in the slightest. It's a pity that after all, he is old, and the wound on his left hand that was injured by Zhang Qing is only slightly bandaged, and when he is a little weak in the second half of the mountain, the wound collapses without paying attention.
Later, because of the drag of his left palm, the old housekeeper had to use his right hand more, and after paying the price of both hands being injured, he climbed to the cliff in danger.
After coming up, Qian Yuan was also in a cold sweat, he didn't expect to climb so dangerously, and he still underestimated the height of the cliff and the hardness of the rock.
However, since he has already come up, then he can't be entrusted by the second son, and after resting a little and recovering some of his true qi, he began to chase after the traces left by Zhang Qing and followed. Although the injury on his hand made his strength only estimated to be eighty percent, he never thought that those two children would be an obstacle to him.
The old housekeeper is not a person who is good at tracking, but it is a pity that Zhang Qing carried a big living person taller than him when he escaped, so he really had no way to deal with the traces behind him. So although the old butler chased in the wrong direction several times, he still got closer and closer with his innate speed.
。。。。。。
Waiting until the sun was fully rising made Qian Yuan's speed move faster, because the light made it easier for him to find the traces left by Zhang Qing.
Qian Yuan, who was walking on the hillside, looked around as he advanced, suddenly stared at him, and quickly came to a big rock. He carefully picked up a small piece of bacon scrap from the ground, and looked at it with an eerie smile.
This is obviously the first two people to stop here to rest, and by the way, eat something to replenish their strength. Seeing that the meat crumbs fell here but were not picked up by the animals and insects all over the mountain, it means that the two have just left. What's more, they shouldn't have expected someone to chase after them, so they won't be too guarded.
Qian Yuan didn't rush to catch up, but sat here and rested for a while. He had to make sure he had enough stamina to kill or subdue the two of them the moment he saw them.
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, Qian Yuan continued to move forward. The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the two people in front seem to deliberately take some remote and narrow paths, especially there are many small valleys and cliffs, and there are often mountain walls in front of them to block the view, so that the old housekeeper can not see the front at a glance. So although he was not slow, he still slowed down his pace to prevent himself from getting too close to the other party, but he didn't notice it, but startled the snake.
Suddenly, there was a muffled moan from the corner of a mountain wall in front of him, as if someone was enduring the pain. Qian Yuan's expression moved, and he cautiously moved to the corner, and quietly stretched out his head to look over.
I saw the woman of the Tu tribe sitting not far away with a tree half-leaning, her eyes closed, cold sweat on her forehead, her left arm was bandaged and tied to her body, but there was no other boy around.
After thinking about it for a while, Qian Yuan roughly guessed what happened.
The woman slapped herself, knowing that a person with a severe traumatic injury would most likely develop a fever within the next day, so she should be unable to tolerate the pain at this time. The boy either ran away on his own, or went to find a water source to cool the woman.
The old housekeeper wanted to look around again and wait to see if he could wait for Zhang Qing, but a small backpack placed next to the woman suddenly attracted his attention.
The backpack was half-opened, revealing the corner of a box, and he could see clearly that this was the box where the woman was holding the epiphany fruit at that time!
Qian Yuan was excited in his heart, didn't he spend a long time trying to do it just for it, and he had been picking it for more than two hours. If you get it now, even if it takes two hours to return, the time that has passed is less than half a day. The Epilogue Fruit can not only be used, but also has a lot of medicinal properties left, which is of great benefit to the second young master.
Thinking of this, Qian Yuan didn't wait any longer, and now getting the Tanyue Fruit was the first priority. As for the other cub, you can put it aside for now, and it's not too late to find out when the task is completed.
Tan Yueguo was losing its medicinal properties all the time, and the old housekeeper no longer hesitated when he thought of this. He turned and walked out of his hiding place, then rushed at the woman as fast as he could. He was still quite afraid of the woman's poison, although she was now closed, and she didn't know if she was awake or unconscious, but the safety point couldn't be wrong. Therefore, he wanted to kill her as quickly as possible, so that she would not have time to perform the poison skill.
The distance of less than twenty zhang was fleeting under the innate speed, and seeing that it was only about three zhang away from the woman, she had not opened her eyes yet, Qian Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that she was already nine out of ten.
At this moment, suddenly his feet were empty, and his body fell down. At the same time, the woman's eyes suddenly opened, and a poisonous needle was thrown towards the door in front of him.
This made Qian Yuan shocked in his heart, this turned out to be a trap!
Fortunately, the woman seems to be injured, so most of the poison needles are biased to her left side. And I don't know what was waiting for him in the pit, the old man didn't dare to fall, and forced a breath of true qi to stop the inertia of moving forward, and at the same time, a palm of his left hand burst out and slapped to his left side.
The innate master was able to release his true qi, and this palm hit the leaves on the ground and flew all over the sky, and the old butler also flew out of the pit with the power of the anti-shock, and dodged the flying needle in great danger, falling towards his right side.
But just as he was relieved, before he could hit the ground, the place on the right that he thought was a pile of fallen leaves suddenly exploded, and the strange knife light that slashed his palm reappeared, this time running towards his right arm.
For some reason, he felt that the knife seemed to be a little slower than before, allowing him to land first instead of meeting him in the air again. So the old housekeeper was ready to fight back after gaining a foothold, after all, even if this kid's knife skills were powerful, but his skills were insufficient, and he would definitely not even be injured when he was down-to-earth.
Between the lightning and flint, Qian Yuan turned his thoughts, condensed the jack to stop castration, and fell straight to the ground.
There was a soft sound, and before he could react, the sole of the boot on his right foot was punctured by something unknown, and then a needle pierced the sole of his right foot, which made Qian Yuan's heart cold, because he didn't feel the pain in his right foot at all!
"What kind of poison is this!" Just as he struck out with his right palm to meet the sword light, he only had time to turn this thought, and at the same time increased the power of his palm, wanting to at least seriously injure the opponent and reduce one opponent.
It's a pity that the long knife didn't intersect with his palm at all, and it stopped directly in mid-air, and then retreated, and he was deceived by the same trick of the other party again. Originally, this stop would cause a big flaw, Qian Yuan only needed to take a step forward to kill the opponent directly, but he couldn't move.
With just a flick of his fingers, he felt that he no longer belonged to him below his right knee. If it was some kind of poisonous burst poison, he could at least feel the poisonous gas exploding in his body, and then use his true qi to drive away the poison. But this poison is different, he can't feel anything entering his body at all, and the true qi flowing into his right calf can't be perceived, just constantly losing control of his body!
Qian Yuan thought of Zhang Sanwa who died by the water's edge, and his weird expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, which made the old housekeeper who had lived for decades frightened.
But after all, after staying by Qian Yi's side for many years, he still has the courage to kill decisively. After a short moment of trance, the old man gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and directly raised his palm to hit his right knee, actually wanting the strong man to break his wrist and directly cut off his leg before the poison spread!
