Chapter 18: An Inexplicable Wound
night
The moonlight shines on the endless green bamboo forest, and the snow on the top reflects the silver light.
However, no matter how bright the silver light is, it can't illuminate the darkness under the dense green bamboo of eighty miles. As far as the eye can see from the snow viewing platform, it is an endless black expanse. Only in one place, faint fires and green smoke came out.
This was the second day of Xia Xun's entry into Lin Taxue, and he still hadn't found any trace of half of Hanmei, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
In the dense bamboo thicket, he wasted a lot of effort to clear a small open space. Then, with great difficulty, he used flint and steel to burn the dead branches he had picked up. This is where the fire and smoke come from. He took out two fat bamboo rats from the package, plucked them carefully with a knife to remove the dirt, sprinkled them with fragrant powder at will, and finally put them on the bamboo fire roasted branches, then he stopped and sat down...
The grease dripped onto the fresh bamboo shoots in the lower layer, and from time to time it made a "zizi...", and the fragrance of oil wafted far and far away in the forest.
Xia Xun, who had nothing to do, took out the sheepskin map drawn from his memory from his arms and spread it out. The sheepskin is very new, and it is clear that it has been bought only recently. In the third third from the left of the map, there are small black hooks densely drawn. Xia Xun picked up the bamboo charcoal and put a small hook in a blank space on the map...
The burning bamboo fire melted the frost and snow around it, making this small clearing very wet.
The bamboo rats have been roasted to a golden brown......
Xia Xun picked up a bamboo tube filled with warm water from the fire, poured it in his hand and scrubbed it carefully. Just then tear off the tender meat and chew it carefully. The meat of the bamboo rat should be very fragrant, which can be seen from Xia Xun's expression of relish.
However, this happy expression disappeared when he finished eating the first bamboo rat.
Replace it with a slightly furrowed brow...
He chewed on the second rat much faster than before, faster and faster. I can see he's in a hurry...
Until in the end, he simply didn't tear it, and directly stuffed the remaining half of the bamboo rat into his mouth, chewed it vigorously several times, and swallowed it in one bite......!
He ran faster and more embarrassed than he had ever done in the previous two days!
"Boom ......!"
Just as he ran the thirtieth step, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting and cracking behind him. The sound was very loud, and it could almost be described as shaking the ground and shaking the mountain, and even almost shook Xia Xun who was fleeing in a panic a few times.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Count the air rising to the sky, and you can see it from afar. The qi collided with each other, and each collision was followed by a loud bang. Even violently.
"Whew..."
After running wildly for a quarter of an hour or so, Xia Xun stopped panting.
A quarter of an hour ran two miles, almost his limit. He nervously looked back at the sky behind him, and six blue rays and two purple rays emerged from the bamboo forest in the distance. One of the purple rays had a very dull sheen, which was probably caused by his master's injuries. The eight rays of light continued to intersect and collide with each other to make an earth-shattering sound, shaking the snow of the green bamboo around Xia Xun to fall.
"Boom..."
The confrontation intensified, and after a few rounds, the faint purple glow was almost gone......
Xia Xun's expression became a little dignified, hesitant, and his right index finger kept scraping the bridge of his nose.
"Knock knock...""Ah!" There was another collision, followed by an extremely angry roar. The dim purple glow finally dissipated.
Xia Xun's face froze.
"Hey!"
He sighed reluctantly...
The battle over there was indeed fierce...
The place where the fire was lit before Xia Xun was more than 70 zhang to the south.
The originally dense bamboo bushes were blasted into a large area of yellow mud by the hostile sides. Hundreds of trenches and deep pits on the ground are still smoking. The frost and snow evaporated by the high temperature on the ground turned into white mist and rose, and the field was like a fairyland and purgatory.
Six young men and women dressed in blue-blue shirts and holding iron fans stood on the side. The clothes of the six men were already tattered and disheveled, and the two women were obviously not lightly injured, and blood continued to drop from their jaws. The blue glow emitted by the phantoms of the six giant fans behind them was much weaker than when Xia Xun saw it before.
"Luo Jue, you can't save Hanmei tonight. I know you're strong. But even if you step into the Gathering Yuan Realm, you still have no chance of winning now. ”
The person on the other side was Luo Jue, the girl named Bai Xiu had fainted behind him, but there was no trace of being injured from her.
And at this moment, Luo Jue is covered with small wounds. The wound was not deep, but it bled uncontrollably, almost soaking through his gray linen clothes. His expression was still arrogant, but the phantom of the fierce god behind him was even more dim than the six people opposite. The excessive blood loss made his legs tremble slightly, giving people a shaky feeling.
"I'll kill you first!"
Luo Jue never said much, and before he finished speaking, he punched out. Behind him, the fierce god giant sword stabbed with his fist, and another wave of qi that shattered the earth rushed towards the six people.
"Peak Loop!"
The man who had just spoken shouted.
The six people threw out the iron fan at the same time, and the fan shadow behind them instantly turned into the iron fan, and the fan was sheng, and a hundred blue rays shot out from the iron fan. Like six huge mountain demon butterflies flying towards the air waves. Qi Lang was a little stingy in front of the demon butterfly.
"Hurry..."The demon butterfly dispersed the waves of qi, and its speed did not decrease in the slightest.
The demon butterfly hit Luo Jue's chest and exploded! Directly blasted Luo Jue back six steps, and flesh and blood splashed. At this moment, Luo Jue roared again, "Give me death!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of Luo Jue's mouth, and at the same time, he threw a punch. The qi wave of this punch was twice as large as before, and the fierce god behind him also vigorously threw a giant sword into the qi wave, and suddenly the wave soared, becoming a monstrous wave of more than 20 zhang, like a mountain torrent erupting and rushing to six people.
Blazing fast!
"Retreat!" the six were startled and shouted in unison. But, it's still slow...
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the six people were directly swept into the huge waves, surging more than ten zhang, crushing countless green bamboos, before they exploded. A radius of twenty zhang was rolled into the ground.
The white mist blown up by this huge wave lingered in the field and could not be dispersed for a long time.
Two of the six women fell to the ground and passed out, and only four men got up from the yellow mud with great difficulty, vomiting blood and looking sluggish. The fan behind him dimmed a little, and the iron fan in his hand didn't come back after it was shot out just now...
The man who got up first gasped and said, "You... You lose... up"
Luo Jue on the other side is even more unbearable. Mai is blown in half, revealing her undershirt dyed red. Supporting the ground with one hand and kneeling on the ground with the other, the fierce god behind him has dissipated. He didn't speak, just a little arrogant, like a seriously injured lone wolf staring at the four people opposite.
The man struggled to pick up the iron fan that had been thrown away. walked up to Luo Jue: "I don't want to hurt you, we just need Hanmei"
"From... "Open" Luo Jue said slowly, but loudly.
The man didn't say anything more, he raised his hand and raised the fan, and the fan came out, and it was aimed at Luo Jue's shoulder, which was a fierce and vigorous split...
In this moment!
"Ding..."
There was a crunch of iron clashes. In an instant, the man's right hand seemed to have received a huge impact, and the iron fan was knocked out in response.
The man was shocked by the sudden change and retreated.
The four of them looked at Luo Jue suspiciously, but Luo Jue didn't speak, only showed a deep smile. The four of them were creepy.
It's just that the fox hesitated for a while, and the man who returned shouted "Let's go together!!"
The four of them were about to jump out...
"Brush... Brush... Brush... Brush "four raging sounds!
All four of them had an inexplicably two-inch-long wound on their foot, which was bleeding.
"Who!" one of the men shouted
"Brush... Brush" and two more ragged sounds.
Two balls of blood burst out of the man's shoulders at the same time, and two half-inch-long wounds instantly pierced his shoulder muscles. Although it was a small injury, it also shocked the four of them.
"Get out!"
At this time, Luo Jue, who was half-kneeling, shouted wildly with all his might.
"Brush... Brush ......" and four more wounds appeared on their waists.
At this time, the four of them finally panicked. The man who spoke first shouted "Kill!"
The four of them completely ignored the inexplicable minor injury, jumped up, and the blue light on their bodies was even more severe, and they raised their hands into a palm knife in front of their chests and jumped towards Luo Jue.
"Brush... Brush..."
"Brush ........." countless rags hit like a torrential rain.
"Retreat!" the four jumped halfway and were forced to land helplessly.
Because at this time, there were several deep wounds on the faces of the four people, and the blood flowed. They were finally terrified, and these wounds revealed the strong killing intent of the attacker...
"Kill them!" Luo Jue roared again
"Brush... Brush... Brush..."As soon as Luo Jue's words fell, the rainstorm hit again.
The clothes of the four of them were almost cut into strips of cloth, and new injuries continued to appear, but they had already been injured no less than thirty in just a few breaths. Although the wound is not deep, this fear that even the enemy does not know where it is, has broken the defense in their hearts.
"Brush... Brush... Brush"
"Brush..."
"Withdraw!!" "Withdraw"
"Brush"
The hidden enemy didn't mean to stop at all, the four of them didn't hesitate anymore, shouted, lifted the two girls respectively, and ran into the depths of the bamboo forest...
Footsteps away...
It's finally quiet...
On the flat yellow mud ground, only the embarrassed Luo Jue and the fainting white embroidery, as well as a white embroidery holding a cold plum.
His body kept dripping blood, his feet trembled slightly, and the last punch almost used up all of Luo Jue's strength. He didn't speak, just glanced deeply at a certain place in the bamboo bush with that arrogant look, then slowly got up to pick up the white embroidery, and then disappeared into the darkness of the bamboo forest.
This time, there was no one on the yellow mud ground
There is only one copper coin...
