By the time Luo Haoyang arrived, the body of the follower had turned cold. He was lying lifeless on the ground, with a sharp long knife pierced through his abdomen. His attacker moved quickly and the blade pierced him. Several organs and the flesh around the wound were not even rolled over. The attendant's hands were still tightly holding the handle of the knife, and in the end he did not let his attacker take away the weapon.
It was because they had some preconceptions that this man named Yan Zheng was just a mortal and had no power to resist them, but Luo Haoyang knew that he could survive even when all his troops were wiped out, and he could still return from the Netherland alone. Even in the entire dynasty, there are only a few people. Moreover, they have also ignored an important point. Although this man named Yan Zheng is a mortal, he is a strictly trained frontier soldier with the ability to fight in life and death. Experience cannot be matched by these followers who only know the power of a fox and a tiger.
Now Yan Zheng has escaped deeper into the forest, and there is a huge mountain ahead. If he escapes into the mountains, even if the number of people chasing him increases several times, it will be difficult to find his traces, so it is left to Luo Haoyang's time was running out, and as the only monk who was good at tracking, he naturally wanted to catch Yan Zheng first so that he could monopolize the credit.
Luo Haoyang stretched out his hand to close the eyelids of the attendant, then stood up and walked out of the cave. The other attendants who heard the shouting here basically gathered around. They were all dusty, and their clothes were torn by branches, but every one of them Everyone was in high spirits and stood outside the cave, waiting for Luo Haoyang's new instructions.
Luo Haoyang took out another red pill from his arms and threw it to the falcon. The falcon swallowed it happily, and the feathers all over his body became darker and brighter. Luo Haoyang reached out and stroked the falcon's feathers. Thanks to this Only with the alchemy beast could he continue to search for Yan Zheng's traces in the dark night.
He raised his hand and sent the falcon into the sky. The falcon spread its wings and flew straight into the clouds like an arrow. As the tracking technique was activated, a smoke column appeared not far away and was still moving deeper. Yan As expected, Zheng didn't run far. He couldn't escape no matter what this time. The eagle let out a sharp cry and quickly chased Yan Zheng in the direction of his escape. Without waiting for Luo Haoyang to give the order, the followers followed closely behind the eagle, spontaneously let's move.
Yan Zheng was unable to determine how many pursuers there were, so he had to flee as deep into the forest as possible. In such a dark night, his traces should have been easily hidden. I don’t know what method they used to be able to pursue them. Holding him tightly, suddenly, a piercing cry sounded in the sky. Yan Zheng looked up, and then in the dim moonlight, he saw an eagle flying past. The eagle's feathers were all black, and only its eyes were shining with blood red. light.
No wonder he couldn't get rid of the pursuers. It turned out that he was targeted by this beast. Yan Zheng looked at the falcon with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, but he didn't have a bow or arrow in his hand now, and he didn't even have a decent weapon. If he could, He will definitely kill this beast first to avoid being caught up again later.
In order to increase the speed of travel, except for the weapons and necessary dry food, the Luo family followers had thrown all useless things on the ground. With the guidance of falcons, they followed Yan Zheng closely, and in The formation gradually unfolded during the march, with several followers with better physical strength on both sides advancing first, followed by some people behind, and the remaining people staying in the middle. The entire team advanced steadily forward in a wing-shaped formation, Luo Hao Yang sat at the back of the team, observing everyone's movements, ready to go forward to deal with emergencies at any time.
Under the guidance of the falcon, the entire team quickly walked through the forest. The sacrificed follower made everyone enter a passionate mood. They were eager to catch the thief and regain the family's stolen treasures. , and avenge their dead brothers. After a period of pursuit, the entourage on both sides even surpassed Yan Zheng. The entire team was like an open bag, completely encompassing Yan Zheng.
However, Yan Zheng, who was trapped in it, was not aware of his situation and was just heading deeper. On this lightless moonlit night, without spiritual consciousness, he could not be keenly aware of the surrounding situation. , the footsteps that may have been heard were also obscured by the scratching between clothes and branches and the sound of one's own heavy breathing, not to mention the chirping of falcons from time to time in the sky. Those chirpings were like Sanskrit sounds demanding life, always Lingering in Yan Zheng's ears.
"I will be in charge in the middle. You spread out to the two wings and prepare to encircle him." Yan Zheng had already entered the encirclement in front of him. Luo Haoyang gave orders to the followers in the center of the formation. They quickly dispersed into two forces and added to the two wings. In the team, the followers on both wings met in front. They pulled out the weapons from their waists and hid in the bushes, waiting only for Luo Haoyang's order to attack.
Luo Haoyang summoned a long bow covered with patterns from the sea of qi, but compared to other people's dazzling magic weapons, this long bow could be considered simple and unpretentious. He slowly pulled out the bowstring and aimed. He caught Yan Zheng who was escaping not far away, and a light ink-colored spiritual energy surged out of his hand and quickly condensed into a long arrow like ink crystal on the long bow.
"call out--!"
Without any hesitation, Luo Haoyang let go of the bowstring, and the long arrow like black crystal flew out from the string and flew towards Yan Zheng. The sharp arrow tore through the air and made a dangerous low whistle.
Yan Zheng felt a sharp sting coming from behind him. This was the body's instinctive response to danger. He had had similar feelings before, but this time the feeling of danger was particularly strong. No, to be precise, this time he felt death. , but before he could react, a long arrow like black crystal came towards his face with a strong sound of breaking wind!
Yan Zheng subconsciously crossed his arms to block, but how could his mortal body block Monk Yuxu's full blow? The black crystal-like long arrow easily pierced his arm, and then continued unabated, directly piercing the skin and nailing into the bones. Fortunately, Yan Zheng's bones have been tempered, otherwise this arrow would have shot him. Wear it right.
The followers lurking in the bushes swarmed up and pushed Yan Zheng to the ground before he could make a move. Yan Zheng's arm was pierced by a long arrow like black crystal. It was difficult to break free for a while, and he didn't even have a chance to resist. Even if they didn't, they were controlled. These Luo family members were obviously well prepared. They immediately took out ropes and tied up Yan Zheng's hands and feet, causing him to lose the ability to move.
"The golden cicada escapes from its shell? It's a good strategy, but it's a pity that your enemy is us."
Luo Haoyang held a long bow in his hand and slowly walked out of the darkness. He looked at Yan Zheng in front of him through the dim moonlight. His appearance was plain, and his face was very rough after suffering. If thrown into the crowd, Luo Haoyang would have no distinguishing features. It was even difficult for Haoyang to associate this face with the person who owned the red gauze bodhi. After all, it was something that even a proud man like Luo Tianchen could not get, but it was allowed to be obtained by such a lowly border soldier. If you get it, it will be the most ridiculous thing in the world.
But seeing the flesh and blood squirming around the wound caused by the black crystal-like long arrow, and the strange fragrance that uniquely belonged to the red gauze bodhi, Luo Haoyang was convinced that the red gauze bodhi was indeed Just on Yan Zheng, he stretched out his hand and sent a signal to the sky. As the mana fluctuations spread out, other teams who received the message would rush over immediately.
"Dingling--dinging--"
A burst of horse bells rang out from nowhere, spreading farther and farther in the silent night. Luo Haoyang thought he was hallucinating. How could there be horse bells in a place like this? He suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and an inexplicable chill spread throughout his body. It seemed like the chill coming from the deepest part of hell. It felt like something cold and slippery was slowly sliding across his back, making Luo Haoyang couldn't help but tremble. .
The followers also noticed the abnormality. At some point, they were surrounded by thick fog. This fog appeared inexplicably, and then spread quickly, wrapping them all in. Within the scope of the fog, the temperature continued to rise. The ground dropped, and the dew condensed on the green branches and leaves turned into frost in an instant.
One of the attendants kept rubbing his hands, and then exhaled a white breath, and couldn't help complaining: "Why is this damn secluded place such a ghost weather?"
The old attendant who had participated in the Netherworld mission before approached Luo Haoyang and suggested to him: "Sir Haoyang, we'd better leave as soon as possible. I feel something is wrong."
Luo Haoyang nodded. He originally wanted to stay here and wait for others to arrive, but after the old attendant told him, he also felt that the inexplicable fog was a bit strange. If he stayed here any longer, he would be afraid that something might happen.
"Dingling--dinging--"
The crisp ringing of the horse bell rang again, but this time everyone heard it clearly. The attendant who complained about the weather suddenly turned pale, because he really heard the clear ringing of the horse bell next to him.
The thick fog was stirring, and it seemed that something was about to break out of the fog. A tall horse wearing armor tore through the fog and slowly stepped out. The crisp sound of the horse bell came from the iron horse bell worn around its neck. The tall horse passed by the Luo family attendant, and the thick breath even sprayed on his face. The Luo family attendant did not dare to move, but when he saw clearly the cavalry on the horse, he almost lost his voice. screamed.
The cavalryman was wearing a rusty iron-gray armor, holding a broken moon knife in his hand, and the cloak behind him was also riddled with holes. His face showed a permeable miserable green, and his whole body exuded a vitality. The Luo family's followers even suspected that he was not a living person at all.
Behind the cavalry, more soldiers followed him out of the mist. They wore different styles of armor and held a variety of weapons in their hands, but without exception, they all had expressionless faces, like walking zombies.
No one made a sound, they even forgot to breathe.
