Chapter Fifty-Eight: Escape and Pursuit
Although the swamp on the grassland was full of dangers, under the leadership of Wang Yan, the five of them walked very smoothly, although sometimes they would go around in a large circle to avoid the quagmire.
The quickly dispersed methane reduced some of the dangers, allowing them to see the swamp in its entirety as well as the enemies chasing behind them.
"Brother, the enemy is catching up, can we be faster?" Yueyu kept looking back, very nervous.
"Stop dreaming. No matter how fast we are, we may be like those pursuers, and we may get into a quagmire. Wang Yan heard the sound of the pursuers falling into the quagmire and shouting for help, educating Yueyu.
"Okay, okay, let the enemy chase quickly, and they will all fall into the quagmire!" Yueyu clapped happily, expecting that phenomenon to happen.
"Don't rejoice too soon, you think the enemy is a fool, and if that were the case, they wouldn't have pursued us any longer. Zhou Shan is not so optimistic.
"Wang Yan, now we can see clearly, can we use light skills, cross the quagmire on the swamp, and move forward in a straight line, that will be faster. Dong Yun felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot, and he had the ability to perform light skills.
"Perform light skills?" Wang Yan seemed to be inspired, but then shook his head again: "No. Many of the mires in the swamp are hidden under the grass, and we don't see anything unusual from the outside. The stickiness of the quagmire is very large, and when we perform light skills, once we need to land and borrow strength, we happen to fall into the quagmire, and the result is just like those chasing soldiers. ”
"We can't be so unlucky, right?" Yue Ting agreed with Dong Yun's statement, feeling that she could give it a try.
"Do you think our luck is good?!" Wang Yan looked at the enemy chasing behind him, turned his head and glared at Yue Ting: "The quagmire in the swamp, I won't let you go just because you are a girl!"
"Then what if the enemy ......" Yueting's words were not finished, but the meaning was obvious, there are so many enemies, there are always those who can use light skills to catch up.
"Let's not talk about whether the enemy has that ability, even if they really catch up, it's a big deal to fight to the death. Wang Yan looked at the steel knife in his hand, feeling that it still had bloodthirsty desires.
After a small argument, Wang Yan and the others continued to advance cautiously through the swamp.
At this time, the officers and soldiers who were chasing were still haunted by the quagmire in the swamp. The remaining soldiers, not daring to disobey the orders of the officers, gathered together and marched slowly and cautiously with uneasy hearts. But, even so, three soldiers fell into the quagmire again, and the panic grew worse.
"My lord, please think of a way, the soldiers are all going to die in this swamp, how can you catch the fugitives?" the officer who led the team begged bitterly, and every time a soldier fell into the quagmire, it was like ripping off a piece of flesh from his heart.
"Rubbish, waste, waste!" Red Shadow Guard pointed at the soldiers, stamping his feet and scolding.
"Forget it, I'll lead the way. This swamp is indeed not something that the soldiers can handle. We can't let those soldiers lose any more, otherwise, with our wounded state, we will not be absolutely sure of dealing with the fugitives. The second Red Shadow Guard was starting to get a little worried.
"Is it unlikely that we'll catch up with the fugitive in the swamp, in your opinion?" said the cursed Red Shadow Guard to the second Red Shadow Guard.
"This swamp shouldn't be very big, as long as we follow the fugitive, once we get out of the swamp, a distance of a few hundred meters, it will be easy to catch up with the fugitive. "The second Red Shadow Guard was very confident.
Under the leadership of the second Red Shadow Guard, the officers and soldiers, like Wang Yan and them, began to march through the swamp. Both sides maintain the same speed, and the distance between them does not change.
As the second Red Shadow Guard had predicted, the scope of this swamp was not very vast, and as dusk approached, Wang Yan led Zhou Shan, Dong Yun, Yue Ting, and Yue Yu to the edge of the swamp first.
"There's droppings left by herbivores, and it looks like we're out of the swamp and moving at full speed. Wang Yan found a pile of dried animal feces at a glance, and knew that there was no danger ahead.
"Brother, there will be wolves in the depths of the grassland, so let's go in the direction of Qingyue City. Yue Ting remembered another danger on the grassland, and hurriedly pointed in the direction of Qingyue City to remind.
"That would be better. Since the swamp didn't help us destroy all the enemies, let the wolves help us again. When Wang Yan heard the news that he might encounter wolves, he became excited. He was so familiar with the wolf that he believed he could easily deal with it.
"Wang Yan, you don't have a fever. Use the wolves? It's up to you to come up with this method. Zhou Shan couldn't understand what Wang Yan said.
"Shan'er, do you think I will do something that I am not sure of and lead you into a danger from which you will never recover?" Wang Yan's words were full of tenderness, and he looked at Zhou Shan's eyes full of care.
"Hehe, I'm just answering their doubts. Zhou Shan smiled knowingly.
"Make a decision and leave, the enemy is still behind. Dong Yun was a little unhappy when she saw that Wang Yan and Zhou Shan were still in the mood to laugh. is also Wang Yan's wife, she feels that Wang Yan still cares more about Zhou Shan.
Yun'er was jealous. After we are out of danger, let Wang Yan compensate you well. Zhou Shan keenly sensed Dong Yun's dissatisfaction, and used slightly ridiculous words to ease the tense atmosphere.
The Red Shadow Guard, who was still in the swamp, saw that Wang Yan and the others suddenly performed light skills and accelerated their advance, and Zhilu Dao was about to walk out of the swamp, and urged the soldiers: "Hurry!
"My lord, the fugitive must have drunk chicken blood, how can he escape so fast?" The officer who led the team saw that after the fugitive left the swamp, he quickly opened up a short distance, and felt that the hope of catching up with the fugitive became slim again.
"Fart! Did you see the fugitives drinking chicken blood?! They have only regained some strength, and their performance at this moment can only be regarded as the end of a strong crossbow. "Red Shadow is afraid that what the officer leading the team will say will make the soldiers feel slack.
"Brothers, what your Excellency says is that the fugitives are at the end of their crossbows, and if we catch them, we will be able to go back and drink wine and eat meat, and celebrate. The officer leading the team hurriedly followed the meaning of the Red Shadow Guard and cheered for the soldiers under him.
Wang Yan and they performed light skills, and not long after running, because of excessive physical exertion, they had to change back to the state of running again.
Although the enemy behind him was pulled away by a long distance, as soon as they left the swamp, those trained soldiers ran faster than Wang Yan and them.
Fifteen hundred meters, one thousand meters, eight hundred meters, five hundred meters, .......
"Fugitives, don't run, surrender quickly. The shouts of the officers and soldiers were getting closer and closer, and when Wang Yan turned around, he could even see the clear facial expressions of the pursuing enemy.
The swamp was long gone, and the sun was about to sink below the horizon.
At this moment, a large black shadow appeared at the place where the heaven and the earth met in the distance, and the earth began to tremble.
"Wolves!" Yueyu screamed in surprise before she could see it clearly. The wolves had been mentioned earlier, and that thought had rightfully influenced her judgment.
"Not really. The wolves are weird, and there will never be such a big movement. Wang Yan quickly denied Yueyu's statement, and the trembling from the earth was not something that wolves could do.
"So, what are they?" Zhou Shan, Dong Yun, Yue Ting, and Yue Yu asked in unison,
"Yes...... Wild horses!" Wang Yan finally made an accurate judgment when the black shadow got closer. His face changed drastically, and he knew very well that no one could resist the herd of wild horses in a state of running.
"This, how many wild horses are here!" Zhou Shan held Wang Yan's hand tightly, with a look of horror.
The herd of black and crushed wild horses came overwhelmingly. Tens of thousands of wild horses galloped with all their might, the scene was magnificent, the momentum was earth-shattering, and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground was like rumbling thunder.
The tremor on the ground became more and more obvious, and even affected Wang Yan and the five of them to stop.
The galloping wild horses approached quickly, and it was already clear that the leader was a tall, fat red horse. I saw that its horsehair was flying, and its limbs were sonorous and powerful, showing a majestic demeanor.
"Sister, look, it's a bloody BMW!" Yueyu couldn't believe her eyes, and she was surprised.
"It's a bloody BMW, it's really it!" Yue Ting couldn't suppress her excitement.
"Sweat BMW, sweat BMW, sweat BMW, sweat BMW....... Yue Ting and Yue Yu shouted loudly, while raising their arms and waving non-stop, their joy overflowing.
As if in response ......to the two sisters, the red steed in the lead let out a cheerful cry.
"They actually know each other?" Wang Yan, Zhou Shan, and Dong Yun looked at this dramatic scene, and the three of them looked at each other.
"Help us and drive away the enemies who are chasing us. After Yueyu heard the response of the sweaty BMW, she pointed to the pursuers less than 100 meters behind her and shouted loudly again.
Ma Tong is human, sweat and blood, BMW and Yue Ting and Yue Yu have a heart.
"Boom ......" This time, the cry of the sweaty BMW was obviously angry, like a king's order. The wild horses also cried. All of a sudden, thousands of horses were in unison, and the earth was shaken.
The galloping herd of wild horses suddenly separated from the middle, to the left and right. Under the leadership of the sweaty and bloody BMW, they swept past Wang Yan and them, and then merged into one again, rushing towards the Red Shadow Guard and the officers and soldiers with the momentum of ten thousand jun.
"Damn, help!"
"Run!"
The soldiers were frightened by the surging herd of wild horses, panicked, and scattered in all directions, crying and screaming.
"What the hell is going on...... "One of the Red Shadow guards shouted hoarsely.
But before he could finish shouting, his voice and himself were swallowed up by the torrent of wild horses. No one was spared from the scattered soldiers, who would have faced them with a herd of wild horses led by an angry sweaty BMW.
The other three Red Shadow Guards seemed to be a little smarter, and when the wild horses rushed at them, they turned over and leaped up, trying to ride on their horses to avoid the catastrophe that they couldn't handle.
However, something unimaginable to the Red Shadow Guards has happened. The wild horses they were riding on fell to the ground as soon as they sat on the back of the horses, drowning in the surging wild horses along with the Red Shadow Guards. The unruly wild horses will not hesitate to die to end the lives of these Red Shadow Guards.
The wild horses roared and galloped away, and gradually disappeared with an indomitable momentum. The grass was left only to be trampled by the hooves of the horses into patches of flesh and blood.
"It's miserable. Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh like this.
"That's what they deserve. Dong Yun didn't seem to be relieved, these hateful pursuers, these enemies who ruined her beautiful honeymoon, deserved it.
"That's the end?" Zhou Shan rubbed his eyes, feeling incredulous, and then remembered something: "Wang Yan, the enemy is dead, but there will still be wolves." In her mind, there were no enemies, and when she encountered the wolves, the wolves would only target the five of them.
"Do you think that where there are these wild horse herds, the wolves still dare to appear?" Wang Yan did not answer Zhou Shan directly, but asked her instead.
Yueting and Yueyu were looking at the direction where the wild horses disappeared at this moment, and tears slipped from their eyes unconsciously: "Sweat and blood, we finally see your true kingly demeanor, that kind of momentum, that kind of dominant, that kind of demeanor that looks at the world, you, did not disappoint us!"
"Are you coming back...... , we really want to hug you!" Yue Ting and Yue Yu cried loudly, calling from the bottom of their hearts with sincere emotions, and their voices echoed in the vast grassland.
