"They are not in the same group... The number of people surrounding us is decreasing, they... are being hunted by that thing."

"Hunting? I don't remember any ferocious monsters in this forest?"

"I don't know. Anyway, don't act rashly. When the time is right, just follow my command—oh no, they're here!!!"

"Bang!!!"

A speeding black shadow rushed over, Ke Daoyuan immediately stood up and drew his sword to chop it off, attacks from all directions rained down in an instant.

Ke Daoyuan, who had been preparing for a long time, let out a loud roar, and at the same time drew out his long sword, he formed a light blue shield, covering all the members of the convoy.

True Qi, Sword Rain, Flying Knife, Bow and Crossbow.

All kinds of attacks hit the barrier, bounced off the ground, and dug deep ravines.

Ke Daoyuan supported the barrier with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

This wave of offensive, he is not difficult to stop.

After traveling in the rivers and lakes for many years, it is not that he has not encountered the scene of being ambushed.

However, what he couldn't understand was the phenomenon that happened before his eyes.

The enemy is indeed attacking.

From all sides, every corner.

The powerful firepower seems to want to drive all these people to death.

The zhenqi barrier propped up by Ke Daoyuan was gradually shrinking, and finally everyone retreated around the carriage of Hang Yanling, while the other two carriages were completely destroyed in the barrage of zhenqi.

but……

As the barrier shrinks, so does the enemy's firepower.

It's as if... It's as if a hole is being torn open, and then gradually swallowed.

During the intensive offensive, Ke Daoyuan was able to judge the attack route of the evil beast in the forest from the weakening trend.

Yes.

The reason why those guys gave up the siege just now and suddenly launched a fierce attack was not that the time was ripe.

But they are impatient.

However, why were they so anxious to attack themselves instead of fighting that beast...

Incomprehensible.

But a weakened offensive is always a good thing.

It really couldn't be better if the number of enemies was reduced.

After holding on for half an hour, the offensive finally stopped completely.

Ke Daoyuan lifted the riddled barrier, sat down on the ground, panting heavily with his head down.

The surrounding ground has already been destroyed in a mess.

"are you OK."

"Oh, it's okay."

A hand stretched out in front of him, and Ke Daoyuan subconsciously wanted to hold it.

And the wetness and greasy feeling from the palm made him feel a little bit of a shock.

is blood.

Sticky, hot blood.

Ke Daoyuan raised his head and looked at the person who pulled him up.

The sudden appearance of blood made him feel dangerous, but the face of the person in front of him reassured him.

"Little saint, you are back."

"Ok?"

"Little Saint" blinked, and looked at the carriage protected by everyone: "What do you mean I'm back... Isn't that guy in there?"

"Huh? Didn't you get taken away when the fog just started..."

Ke Daoyuan looked at the girl in front of him whose clothes were completely stained with blood, and was horrified.

so much blood.

Could it be that those people in the forest just now were her...

"Well, oh~~~ Yes, yes."

A joking smile suddenly appeared on the face of "Little Saint", she turned her head and walked into the carriage, and stuck her head out after a while.

"I think it's quite dangerous here, let's go first."

"But, your senior sisters, and Xiao Tianshun and Xiao Tianqing haven't come back..."

"I see that quite a few people in the convoy have been injured, so why not just leave a message here for them?"

"This, seems inappropriate..."

"Eh? Am I not a saint? What the saint said doesn't work?"

"It works, it works, it's just that those villains in the woods just now, I'm afraid it's..."

"I'm afraid, what are you afraid of?"

The "little sage" put down the curtain of the carriage, sat comfortably on the seat inside the carriage, and said to Ke Daoyuan outside the carriage with a smile: "There is obviously nothing in the forest now. ah?"

Chapter 24 Lanes

"I just read the last message that this group of people left you, and I realized that there are still people who are alone coming back here, so I put on the clothes of the corpse and wait for you here—"

After reciting a long passage like singing at high speed, this poor man with his neck twisted 180 degrees and an arrow stuck in his eye socket was holding a stone with engraved words in his crying hands, and a stack of paper. The letter paper was neat and tidy, and it hadn't had time to be opened.

"I've repeated this for the sixth time, I beg you, trust me."

"Brother, of course I believe in you."

Hang Yanling rubbed his eyes with his sleeve, and patted the man's arm again: "So, can you repeat all the details you saw? Say a word wrong——"

"You took all my bones and replaced them with stones, sister, grandma, ancestor! I really didn't lie to you."

"Brother, be considerate and considerate. My dead friend is afraid of death, so you can take pity on me, okay?"

The man's tears fell to the ground.

He secretly swore in his heart that if he could get out of here alive today, he would be a commentator for the rest of his life, and he didn't need to practice coherent speech in the future, he could just open his mouth.

Under Hang Yanling's repeated insistence, this poor man who wanted to take advantage of it told the ins and outs of what he saw in the woods again.

They were originally a group of demon hunters hiding nearby. After receiving a tip, they knew that there was going to be a group of rare demons passing by nearby, so they discussed setting up a card here to intercept them.

But this unlucky guy wasted time because he ate too much cold noodles at night and missed the big team.

When he wiped his butt and brought his equipment, and finally caught up, he found that his companions had all turned into melted flesh.

That scene could really scare him into nightmares for the rest of his life.

The fellow demon hunters who were chatting and laughing together yesterday, some still have part of their heads, and some have half their bodies left. Everyone’s expressions are filled with happiness and joy, as if a group of people who have melted The clay sculptures are rotten on the ground.

His legs softened and he knelt on the ground. He ran away crying and howling, but lost his way in the forest. He only heard thunder rolling in the forest in the distance. The group of embroidered clothes who were fighting pointed at them.

The demon hunter originally saw this group of court officials hiding away. After all, even if Dongzhou is hostile to the demon clan, their team involved in smuggling and the black market is not legal.

It's a pity that his strength is not high, and he was scared out of his wits. He was hit in the head by the aftermath when he wanted to escape, and he fell to the ground and passed out.When I woke up again, I found that those terrible embroidered clothes were all dead.

After recovering his life, he calmed down for a while, and suddenly realized that there was no living thing around him. For the only person still alive at this time, this was a rare opportunity to make a fortune.

He first rummaged around the corpse pointed at by the embroidered clothes, and found a lot of valuable things, then went to look around the wreckage left by the convoy, and found the message left by the convoy to Hang Yanling.

It was not long before seeing a bird in flames fall to the ground, and malice arose.

……

……

"You really don't remember who was in the convoy?"

"I swear, I swear to God, it's all true, I beg you, trust me, otherwise how about you chop off one of my hands?"

The man was crying, and Hang Yanling shook his head helplessly.

A Yan, who stood aside and listened blankly for seven times, raised his hand.

"I seem to... almost be able to memorize it."

Hang Yanling nodded compassionately: "Brother, don't be sad, of course I want to believe that what you said is true. All right, all right, don't be nervous, take it easy."

Gaba twisted his neck back with a sound, pulled out the arrow, and rescued the man before he died. Hang Yanling took out a heavy bag of silver from his pocket and offered it with both hands.

The recovered man took a step back in fright, dropped the stone and letter, and ran away without saying a word.

Looking at the man who didn't even take the promised reward money, Hang Yanling sighed helplessly.

"In this world, can there be more trust between people?"

"Well, don't chase him?"

"In that state, it is basically impossible to lie. Although there are minor discrepancies in the experiences of the fabricated lies several times in a row, they are all within the reasonable tolerance range... It's just that the experience he told me still makes me unable to make sense of it. .”

In his previous life, he was chased and killed by Xiuyi Zhizhi after leaving Andu Town, but in this life, he should be in the same camp as Wen Gongyu.

It can't be the person he sent...

But Chen Lu's behavior of taking herself away obviously created an opportunity for the attack on the convoy.

Even if Wen Gongyu had no intention of harming others, the woman who would rather destroy her appearance and return to Dongzhou couldn't say it well.

Hang Yanling couldn't trust that woman.

Unlike Wen Gongyu, who strives to maintain stability and is content with the status quo, although that woman is full of words to maintain the law and order of Dongzhou, she has a determination.

That is the determination to seek change.

It's hard to say whether she is harmful to Dongzhou, but she is definitely a troublesome character.

It's a pity that I don't have time to throw myself into the trap right now, so Hang Yanling could only look at the engraved stone left by the man with a serious expression.

that was a message

【The convoy was attacked, fortunately, the people in Lianhua Palace were separated, and I waited for fear of trouble, so I left first for the protection of the saints. After finding the other children, I will see you again in the imperial capital. 】

Xiaotang Town...

"not good!"

Hang Yanling's complexion changed, Ah Yan was startled by her shout, and quickly jumped over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"All lost!"

Hang Yanling gritted her teeth and held the stone tightly.

In addition to the loss of everyone in the Lianhua Palace mentioned on the stone, there is also a message hidden on the stone.

It is impossible for people from Nanzhou to know Xiaotang Town. The words on the stone are naturally for other Nanzhou people to hear.

Just before the guy left, he mentioned that he heard thunder, so it should be Li Tianshun who got lost.

As one of the foremen of the team, it is very likely that he disappeared while searching for himself...

Damn.

Hang Yanling put the stone into his pocket, and picked up the folded letter.

Normally speaking, the convoy was so pressed that it had no choice but to leave a message with a stone picked up at random. Naturally, it was impossible to write a letter specially as a slogan with leeway.

This letter was written by another person.

The letter still smells of incense powder...

"This smell... seems to belong to that guy?"

Hang Yanling opened the envelope with trepidation, and took a look.

[Don't worry, the girls from Lianhua Palace have already been taken away by me. If there is a destiny, see you in the imperial capital. 】
