Chapter 11: Despair
Liu Yifan and Zhang Xiu found a tree, and both leaned on it and pretended to be resting, but in fact they were watching their every move.
Zhen Rong just sat there as if he was thinking about something, occasionally recruiting a few people, as if he was assigning tasks and asking something, and so on several times, but there was nothing too special.
"Erdan, why did you say that this Zhenrong came to this kind of place, wouldn't he have been following us all the time?" Zhang Xiu whispered: "I think their appearance is a little too coincidental." Some of them seem to see that we are surrounded by the people of Ice Hell City, and they are worried that the two of us will reveal our identities so that the people of Ice Hell City will also know that we have taken a detour, so they will show up to stop us. ”
"And just now, let's not talk about whether Cao Bao's name is a trick on us, what he said always makes me feel like he is deliberately appeasing us. I think we might as well get out of here at night and get rid of them. It's really not good, just take the boat at night and run to the other side, as long as it passes, even if it is a person who cries and laughs, it should take a lot of effort to find us. ”
Liu Yifan maintained the posture of pretending to be asleep, his lips squirmed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's still too dangerous to cross the river at night." The moonlight is not clear today, and the wind is not light. In the unlikely event that the boat hits the scorched rocks in the river, at the current temperature of the water, I don't think we can swim to the other side in the dark before we freeze to death. ”
"Whether or not the other party knows that the two of us are pretending, at least they definitely don't dare to do anything next to Ice Hell City, it should be safe tonight. You two hours, I'll have two hours, let's rest quickly. When the river is crossed tomorrow, we will have to find a way to kill or get rid of these people. ”
Zhang Xiu thought about it and felt that it was right, but he was a little anxious, so he whispered: "Maybe they didn't find out that the two of us were fake." Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to send only one silver face over, isn't this looking for death, last time there were no three silver faces left us. After all this time, they must have heard what happened that day from the mouths of the people who fled that day. ”
Liu Yifan said: "No matter what, before we arrive at the Luoyang General Altar, we must not take it lightly, and it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen." ”
"Yes. Zhang Xiu responded, stopped thinking about anything else, and concentrated on resting.
The night grew darker, the light returned to the earth, and another night passed.
Zhang Xiu believed that even if Liu Yifan was greedy for the Supreme Treasure Seal, he would never do anything in such a place, so this night was the most restful since he was with Liu Yifan.
The enemy, on the contrary, brought Zhang Xiu a sense of security, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.
When it was bright, the people who were crying and laughing at the Futu had already begun to make fires and make food. The food is very simple, that is, the dry food and jerky are put on the fire and grilled slightly.
After the dry food was roasted and the dried meat also exuded a unique burnt aroma when it was exposed to the fire, a group of people gathered around the bonfire, and each person did not take much of the dry food and jerky.
Zhang Xiu first observed the people around him, and saw that they took it casually, and when he got it, he started eating it directly, thinking that it should not have been poisoned or anything, so he took a copy with his hands, compared to Liu Yifan, who was much more casual.
After breakfast, the group got on a boat and crossed the river under the leadership of Zhen Rong.
Half an hour later, under the guidance of Di Rong, three fishing boats docked on the bank of an uninhabited river.
Di Rong looked at the three rowing fishermen and said lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
They were on the fishing boat on the other side of the Steep Gate Ferry, and the people of Ice Hell City had only lent it to them temporarily, so there was a fisherman on each boat, who was responsible for rowing the boat, and secondly, they also rowed the boat back after sending the people over.
Although the three fishermen who rowed the boat wondered why these people did not choose the fishing village on the other side of the river, but chose this uninhabited place, they also knew that it was better not to ask about some things.
Seeing that a person with a silver mask was actually thanking them, they all said again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all right, it should be." ”
"Then you can die. Di Rong's voice was still very flat, and before the words fell, three bright lights flashed with a flick of his hand, and before the three fishermen could react, a dagger had already appeared in their foreheads.
With the compliment on his face just now, he was planted in the water one by one, bringing up a splash, and the boat also gently swayed with the waves.
Almost at the same time, Liu Yifan and Zhang Xiu, who were on the same boat, had already shown the dagger hidden in their sleeves and stabbed at the two of them.
Not only them, but the other two ships, including Zhenrong, have also shot together, and the targets are Liu Yifan and Zhang Xiu, seeing their actions without the slightest hesitation, it is obvious that they have been arranged a long time ago
This change came quickly and suddenly, even if Liu Yifan and Zhang Xiu had been on guard all the time, they were still caught off guard.
Brushing the ground, although Liu Yifan cut off the head of the sneak attacker on the same boat with a sword, he couldn't dodge and his left shoulder was already cut by the opponent's dagger.
After shaking twice, Liu Yifan fell headlong on the headless corpse, and also became a corpse.
"Erdan!!" Zhang Xiu smashed the people who attacked him with one shot, and wanted to see how Liu Yifan was, but they had already killed them, and hurriedly danced the spear to force the other party back, and at this moment the benefits of the long weapon were undoubtedly revealed.
They didn't plan to fight hard with each other, so they avoided each other, or went to the riverbank, or turned over and fell back into the boat, and surrounded Zhang Xiu is group on three sides for a while.
Compared with Zhang Xiu, who uses a spear and knows the bottom of the matter, the person who uses the sword does not have the slightest information. Last time, they killed the two silver-faced killers as soon as they made a move, and this strength should not be underestimated, and it was also the focus of their attention in this operation.
Although they felt a little sorry for the loss of the two people who had just risen to the Silver Mask Killer, the death of the man who used the long sword still relieved them a lot.
Zhang Xiu tore off the black cloth on the spear, squinted and saw the scar on Liu Yifan's shoulder, and his heart suddenly cooled, knowing that this person was already dead, and it was not a joke to cry and laugh at the poison that sealed his throat with blood.
He just now just because of the distance behind, he had a lot more time to react than Liu Yifan, although he was also scratched by the other party's dagger, but fortunately, it was just clothes, and he didn't cut his skin, otherwise he must be lying there now.
The deceased has passed away, Zhang Xiu raised his eyes and swept around, and snorted coldly: "Even if you want to stop me with a silver face, I, Zhang Xiu, am really not underestimated." ”
"Hahaha. ”
Before the words fell, there was already laughter around him, which made Zhang Xiu's brows furrow, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with these people, and he wanted to kill them quickly with a gun.
But before he could make a move, he saw that some of the people around him had already taken out another mask from his arms and put it on.
Suddenly, among the original sixteen people around, there were a total of eight silver-masked killers including Zhenrong!
Zhen Rong said with mockery in his tone: "What is underestimated is that we cry and laugh at Futu." Do you think we're going to do it again? This time without the one with the sword, I see where else you can run. Hurry up and hand over the Supreme Treasure Seal, so that we can also give you a decent death, such as how about making you kill yourself? ”
Zhang Xiu ignored Zhen Rong's ridicule, his heart was suddenly cold and abnormal, he really didn't expect that the person who was crying and laughing at Futu would act like this, and let the silver-faced killer pretend to be a black-faced killer to mix in the team, why didn't he see this anomaly before.
Eight silver-faced killers, how did this make him break through, how did he run out?!
At this moment, despair filled Zhang Xiu's heart.
