Chapter 279: Strange Mystery and Danger (1)

"Whoa!"

In the waterhole, the river splashed, and I saw the red-bellied python leap out of it. It did not rush to attack the crowd, but held its huge head high.

After a while, a strong stream of water gushed out of its mouth.

Zhong Ruida's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly flew and jumped and took Xu He out far away.

This made it so hard for the ten guards of Huashan City, who hid in the bushes before they could escape before they were drenched by the river.

After spraying the river water, the red-bellied python dived into the water again and disappeared without a trace.

"How is it, are you okay?" asked Xu He with a worried expression.

These more than a dozen guards are like chickens in soup at this moment, and their whole bodies, from the inside to the outside, are dripping with sticky "river water"

One of the guards seemed to sense something unusual, and he twinked his fingers from his clothes. I saw that the clear water droplets were very viscous, and there was a slight fishy smell when I put it down and smelled it.

"Hey, it's really disgusting!" the guard slapped the droplets on his body hard.

Xu He saw that everyone was fine, and he was relieved. He looked at the river in front of him, the faint blood in the pool still swirling.

"That red-bellied python should have escaped, right?" Xu He thought to himself.

"Uncle Xu, is Xiao Sun gone?" one of the guards shouted urgently.

"Little Sun?" Xu He searched for the name in his mind.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered. Xiao Sun is the young man who was taken to the other side by Zhong Ruida before.

Thinking of this, Xu He hurriedly looked forward. I saw that on the other side of the river, in addition to the swaying barren grass, there was still half a figure.

A trace of uneasiness hit Xu He's heart, in addition to the red-bellied python in this maze forest, are there other fierce beasts?

In order to prevent the guards from being attacked again, Zhong Ruida and Tu Fangfang brought people to the other side every time. After two or three trips like this, the rest of the guards crossed the rushing river, and the red-bellied python just now never appeared again, as if it had been frightened.

"Little Sun!"

"Where are you?"

The guards didn't have time to rest after they arrived on the other side, they gathered together in twos and threes, and began to look for Xiao Sun in the wild grass.

The cold wind rises suddenly, and the wild grass undulates with the wind like rolling waves.

Xu He's brows tightened, for some reason he always felt that this barren grass was killing everywhere.

"Hey, come here......"

Xu He hurriedly set off when he heard this, and Zhong Ruida and Tu Fangfang, who were idle on the side, also got up one after another, he didn't care about the life or death of these guards, but his heart was full of curiosity.

"Uncle Xu, look!" said one of the guards, pointing to the blood stains on a piece of dead grass.

Xu He squatted on the ground and kept pushing the wild grass to the sides.

The guards who were watching on the sidelines all gasped, only to see a deep blood mark left on the ground at the root of the barren grass. Looking at the shape of this mark, Xiao Sun seems to be dragged forward by something

"Everyone be on guard and pay attention to the situation around you. Gather together, don't scatter!"

"Whoa......

With Xu He's order, the guards all drew their blades, and they stood in groups of three, with their backs to each other. Even Zhong Ruida, who was slightly superior in martial arts, unconsciously held the iron hammer tightly in the palm of his hand.

Xu He was like a hound following his tracks, he squatted on the ground and groped forward little by little with the bloodstains.

"Huh?" Xu He's mouth let out an exclamation.

In front of him, a mutilated arm was in sight. Xu He observed the broken wound, the incision was uneven and the flesh was blurred. At first glance, it was bitten by something, and this wound was very different from the wound bitten by a red-bellied python.

"Could it be a wolf, or a tiger or something?" Xu He thought to himself as he looked around.

Xu He groped and searched for nearly half an hour in the barren grass, but he didn't find anything else except the broken arm.

In the end, under Zhong Ruida's repeated requests, Xu He finally agreed to stay away from this barren grass first.

Although Xu He was unwilling in his heart, he could only choose to give up. Judging from the current situation, even if Xiao Sun is found, it must be a cold corpse.

Xu He finally agreed to Zhong Ruida's proposal, and in the next few hours, he started from the river and went nearly ten miles deep into the forest according to the route he had walked before.

In the evening.

The sun was almost disappearing from the trees, and the red rays of the setting sun spilled through the cracks in the trees, leaving behind the last bits of warmth of the day.

The guards cut out an open space with their scimitars, and in order to save time and rest, they didn't even set up a tent and slept directly on the ground.

"How many miles do we have to go?"

Li Maocai sat beside Xu He and said coldly.

Xu He looked up at the moonlight at the top of the trees.

"It is estimated that it will be fifty miles, and if we are lucky, we will be able to reach that hall in three days. ”

Li Maocai was not good at words, but after listening to Xu He's words, he lowered his head and wiped the five-square sword in his hand.

"Hey, I said Lao Xu, are there any rumored cannibals in this maze forest?" Zhong Ruida held the wine gourd in his arms as if it were a treasure. His face was slightly red, and he had obviously drunk a lot.

Before Xu He could answer, Tu Fangfang, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, sneered: "Hmph, cannibals are not human, I'm afraid that your grandmother will whistle." ”

"Haha......" Zhong Ruida laughed instead of being angry. He sat beside Tu Fangfang.

"My Fangfang sister naturally doesn't have to be afraid of any bullshit cannibals. If you bump into it, you just strip naked and lie down on the ground. You are fair-skinned and beautiful, with big breasts and fat buttocks. It is estimated that no matter how fierce the cannibals are, they will not be able to pass your level!haha......" Zhong Ruida said as he spoke, and his other hand had already begun to roam Tu Fangfang's back.

"Huh!"

There was a flash of light between everyone, and they saw that the red knife in Tu Fangfang's hand was already out of its sheath.

"Dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, the old lady wiped your neck?"

Facing Tu Fangfang's sharp gaze, Zhong Ruida was not only not afraid, but also directly grabbed Tu Fangfang's palm holding the knife and kept stroking.

"If my sister kills my brother, won't you be very lonely along the way?"

This Tu Fangfang, known as the "Soul Snatcher Mei Niang", is naturally experienced in a hundred battles against men. And the cruel words she just said to Zhong Ruida are just another kind of "flirting".

After Tu Fangfang heard what he said, she suddenly smiled charmingly.

Zhong Ruida saw that good things were coming, and picked him up by the waist.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a little important for me and Sister Fangfang to go over there, you guys talk first. ”

Xu He waved his hand in annoyance......

As for the guards of Huashan City, most of them were young and strong young men, and some of them had never even experienced the affairs of men and women. Despite this, there was still a wicked smile on their faces.
