It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when Wang Cheng returned to Mixi Town, and two full days had passed since Mixi Town disappeared.
He was walking on the old site of Mixi Town, and a stream circled behind him to the horizon. The entire town was originally half surrounded by this stream called "Mixi", but now it was deserted and the town was gone.
How can a town suddenly disappear?
Why did that group of men in black let Mixi Town disappear?
His intuition told him that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden in it, something ulterior!
The evening wind blew, and a group of men in black came galloping on horseback, like a gust of wind. They wore black masks that half covered their faces. Their speed was consistent, dense but not chaotic, and their momentum was intimidating.
Among this group of men in black, there was one person wearing rich clothes and a bright red cloak. He had a big head, a fleshy face and a shiny face. He was none other than Mr. Yan Tongli.
"Sir, Wang Cheng! That's Wang Cheng!"
Yan Tongli pointed at the white figure in front of him. He was too familiar with that white fur robe, because it was his beloved thing and he had acquired it at a huge cost.
The "adult" in the lead was tall and tall. Sitting on the horse, even the horse felt a lot shorter. He said coldly: "Huh! It's just a fish that slipped through the net. I asked him to escape the day before yesterday. I will catch him today." Just come back!"
Yan Tongli licked his big, greasy face and said, "Sir, we have found him, can I... can I go back?" He was careful, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
"My lord" said coldly: "Go back? Where are you going back to?" Then he raised his head towards a subordinate.
A man in black came to Yan Tongli silently. Yan Tongli smiled at him, but the next moment, he felt a pain in his neck, and then he saw the picture behind his head.
Can people see what's behind their heads?
With the last question in his life, he quickly lost his breath and fell from his horse to the ground.
"My lord" didn't even look at him, and said: "Chase! If you can catch me, catch him, if you can't catch me, kill him, life or death!"
"yes!"
The horses galloped wildly, the sound of hoofbeats sounded, and the surrounding scenery was retreating at a rapid speed.
The shaking on the ground alarmed Wang Cheng. He glanced back, turned around and ran away.
In the vast land, it is difficult for a two-legged creature to outrun a four-legged creature, so Wang Cheng went straight to the back mountain.
The back mountain is a hilltop in the long Xining Mountains, about a hundred or ten meters high, with lush vegetation growing on it, but it is still withered, waiting to sprout.
Wang Cheng was agile and moved like a rabbit, rolling around on the hillside at a very fast speed. When the man in black came to the foot of the mountain, he was already close to the top.
"Sir" sneered, drew out an iron spear from the horse, and jumped up from the horse, like a roc spreading its wings, and flew to the mountainside more than ten meters high.
Wang Cheng looked down, and he who had always only believed in science broke his guard. Only then did he realize that everything Chen Fu told him at noon was true.
There really are people in this world who can jump more than ten meters and walk in the air. Those are not martial arts practitioners as he knows them, but those in the world of martial arts and immortals.
He seemed to have miscalculated.
On the mountain, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and few people set foot here in winter. The average thickness of snow over the years reaches 30 centimeters.
A group of men in black quickly climbed up. Most of their legs below the knees were stuck in the snow, which caused great obstacles to their movements.
"My lord" looked around and found no trace of Wang Cheng for a moment, but the two rows of footprints left in the snow undoubtedly exposed Wang Cheng's traces.
"Chase!"
The group of people was stuck in a quagmire, losing more than half of their strength.
Suddenly, two "beep" sounds sounded in everyone's ears, short and rapid.
"hide!"
The leading "sir" saw a golden light hitting his eyebrows with his own eyes, and immediately dodged to one side.
With a "ding" sound, the black mask on his face was knocked away, and the iron mask slashed across his face like a knife, leaving several blood marks.
The man in black on the left was not so lucky. The mask was still on his face, but there was a bloody hole between his eyebrows, and he stopped breathing on the spot.
The "adult" is hiding behind a big tree. This is a black pine unique to Xining County. It is so tall and big that some of it has grown for hundreds of years and cannot be wrapped around it with arms.
Without the mask on his face, he revealed his true face. He was in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, tiger eyes, thick lips, and a dark face, just like the iron-faced judge, majestic and cold.
His name also carries the word "wei", Zhu Wei, which is very ordinary, but no one in the world of Sanchuan County does not know this name, and no one has heard of the invincible iron fists.
Zhu Wei had not experienced this kind of death threat for an unknown amount of time. The wounds on his face were deep and long, burning and bleeding. What was once a majestic face now turned into a big painted face.
He wiped the blood from his face and did not get angry. He was calm. He was thinking about what kind of hidden weapon it was that almost killed him without even knowing it.
The dead subordinate fell beside him. The iron mask didn't even block the hidden weapon. It penetrated his head directly, and the blood-red substance spilled all over the floor.
As fast as lightning, as sharp as a dart, and extremely powerful!
Zhu Wei quickly came to his own judgment, and then ordered: "Load the bronze crossbow! Protect the body with shield! Don't show your head easily, be careful of his hidden weapons!"
He pulled out a long black metal object from his back, and after hearing a few "click" sounds, the long black metal object turned into a "V" shaped shield.
The forest is quiet, the evening wind blows through the black pine trees, and clusters of needle-like leaves rub against each other, making a rustling sound.
There are no footsteps, no one has left yet!
Zhu Wei quickly came to a conclusion. His eyes followed the footprints left on the snow and continued forward. The footprints disappeared near several black pines.
The person must be nearby!
He took a deep breath, which was very long. The air seemed to condense at this moment, turning into small particles that entered his mouth and nose. Then he quickly adjusted his posture, put his hands to his mouth and roared like a loudspeaker.
"Ouch..."
The silent mountain forest suddenly sounded like a tiger's roar, and the snow on the ground rolled back into the air, and the sound waves quickly shot forward like cannonballs.
"boom!"
Not far away, a black pine was hit. The tough bark exploded on the spot. There was a hollow sound in the trunk, and it seemed that the inside was broken.
More than ten meters away, Wang Cheng, dressed in a white fur robe, appeared from behind a tree. He felt like the world was spinning, he couldn't hear anything, and there was a constant "buzzing" in his head.
The roar was so powerful that if it had taken a few steps closer, it would have shocked people to death.
"Fire the arrow!"
As soon as Wang Cheng appeared, Zhu Wei immediately gave the order. The remaining nine men in black were already ready and immediately released their bow strings.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Nine crossbow arrows were shot at the same time, and Wang Cheng felt that his whole body was enveloped by a gloomy energy. He suddenly became dizzy and threw himself to the side at the fastest speed ever.
The next moment, nine crossbow arrows hit the place where he had just escaped with great accuracy.
"die!"
Before he could make his next move, Zhu Wei flew towards him like a cannonball from more than ten meters away. In Wang Cheng's shock, he stepped towards him.
Wang Cheng was lying on the ground. No matter how fast he was, it would take time to turn over, and within this time, the opponent would be enough to trample him to death.
There was no way to hide, no need to hide anymore, he raised his hand to Zhu Wei's chest and pulled the trigger.
"beep!"
Zhu Wei's heart skipped a beat, and after suffering the previous secret loss, this time he had already sensed the danger the moment Wang Cheng raised his hand, and quickly used his shield to protect his vitals.
The bullet hit the shield with a "ding" sound. Although the force acting on the shield was not great, it still somewhat restrained Zhu Wei's incoming force.
Zhu Wei landed from mid-air. He failed to crush Wang Cheng to death as expected, and was still a few steps away from Wang Cheng.
"kill!"
At this time, two men in black were stabbing from the air with spears. It turned out that the two men had shot together when they saw Zhu Wei take action, and their cooperation was perfect.
However, there was no joy on Zhu Wei's face. Instead, he shouted loudly: "Get back!"
"Beep! Beep!"
At the same time as the shouts rang out, Wang Cheng pulled the trigger. After all, the two men's kung fu was far inferior to Zhu Wei's. Before they could adjust their eyebrows in mid-air, they were shot and hit hard in the snow.
Zhu Wei's eyes were about to burst, but he had not lost his mind yet. He pounced, rolled on the ground, and hid behind a black pine. At the same time, he ordered everyone to hide on the spot.
The remaining seven men in black immediately knelt on the ground and raised their shields to protect themselves. No one dared to step forward.
Wang Cheng looked at the men in black who were closer and fired several shots respectively. The bullets hit the black shields. It was unclear whether they penetrated or not. He did not stop and quickly turned over and left.
After five full breaths, Zhu Wei poked his head out from behind the black pine tree. Seeing that there was no movement, he asked others to show up, and seven men in black walked out.
Ten subordinates came, and in just a moment, three of them had already fallen here!
Moreover, the signs of death are exactly the same, they are all shot between the eyebrows, and they die with their eyes open.
Zhu Wei and the remaining seven people couldn't help but feel a bit sad. They had to go through the mountain of corpses and blood, but they didn't expect that one day they would die in this horn knot.
So humiliating!
"Xiao Wu, just lie here for now, and soon I will use the head of that ground mouse to pay homage to you!"
Zhu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone, protect your vitals with your shields and follow me to kill!"
The snow is very thick and flat. No one comes here in winter, and the footprints left in the snow are very deep and clear.
After chasing for several hundred meters, the eight Zhu Wei people suddenly stopped and looked at each other in disbelief.
"Why are the footprints gone?"
Yes, the footprints are gone!
Did it grow wings and fly?
"not good!"
Zhu Wei suddenly thought of something and immediately shouted: "Hurry and protect your head! Form a formation!"
"Beep! Beep!"
It was too late. Before anyone could dodge, two bullets penetrated the heads of the two men in black and they fell to the ground on the spot.
Zhu Wei and the remaining five people formed a formation, with five shields occupying the five elements, and a shield in the middle of the five elements blocking the only gap, like a huge tortoise shell that firmly protected the six people underneath.
