On weekdays, I have a lot of money and am very punctual. Even if I have to take care of shopping and asking for information, I will be back before noon.
But today, since he left in the morning, he has not come back until the evening. Combined with the current situation in the city, people can't help but suspect that something happened to him!
yard. Yuan Hao tightened the black iron rod in his hand and said to Liu Chuang:
"Teacher Liu, Junior Qian hasn't returned home for a long time. Something must have happened! Let me go out and investigate!" Chen Jia said with a hint of anxiety on her eyebrows:
"Yes! We have been taken care of by Junior Qian during this period, so let me and Yuan Hao go find him together!" The others also rushed to request to go out to investigate. Liu Chuang waved his hand and said:
"Okay! Be quiet!" After seeing that they were all silent, Liu Chuang continued:
"The situation in the city is now strange and changeable. It is unusual for Qian Duoduo to have an accident at this point. It was probably someone who did it deliberately."
"In this way, Yuan Hao, Chen Jia and Lin Yan, the three of you go out to explore Qian Duoduo's traces. If you find anything, report back immediately. Don't act without authorization!" The three of them followed the order and left.
Now that the enemy is hiding and I am hiding, it is impossible for Liu Chuang to send out all the combat forces at once. Moreover, the injuries he and Tu Tian had suffered before were not easy to heal, especially for himself. The poison of the king-level mandala snake was not easy to bear!
In comparison, the injuries of Yuan Hao and the others are almost healed. As for the ruins and Lin Yan, their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, so the strength of the three-man team can be guaranteed.
The rest of them will stay here for the time being. If anything happens, they can provide support at any time.
"You can't help it anymore! But if you dare to attack my academy, you must be prepared to save your life!" Liu Chuang's eyes gradually became cold, and he thought in his heart.
...After Lin Yan and the other three went out, they walked along the direction from the small courtyard to the market. Although Lin Yan and the others had almost never been out, they had a general understanding of the situation here from Qian Duoduo. In addition, his usual movement trajectory was relatively simple, so it was easier to restore his previous route.
Along the way, they found that the number of people in the city not only did not decrease, but seemed to be more than when they first arrived. Moreover, these people were paying attention to them intentionally or unintentionally. It was difficult to imagine that they had good intentions.
In particular, some second-rate men had lewd looks on their faces, and their lustful eyes couldn't help but look up and down at Chen Jia's exquisite body.
A beauty with a capable appearance and a hot figure like her is quite popular among some people. Sensing those extremely aggressive gazes, Chen Jia frowned slightly. If finding the missing Qian Duoduo wasn't a top priority, she would have drawn out her weapon and started fighting.
"Look, what are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?" Chen Jia complained depressedly. Finally, in a dark alley around the corner, Lin Yan and the others saw an overturned vegetable basket with a fish inside that had dried up and died due to lack of water.
This is because Qian Duoduo heard from others that injured people healed quickly if they drank fish soup, so he bought live fish specifically so that the soup would be fresh!
But now, the living fish has turned into a dead fish, what will become of Qian Duoduo? In the overturned basket, they also found a note, which said: If you want this kid to survive, go to the grove south of the city in time. Don't wait if it's late!
At this moment, the fact that Qian Duoduo was held hostage has been determined! Lin Yan looked at the sky and said:
"It's almost Chen time!" Yuan Hao frowned when he heard this. If he delays for a moment longer, Qian Duoduo will be in more danger.
His mind was spinning, and then he said to Chen Jia:
"You go back first and inform Professor Liu and the others about the situation here. Junior Lin Yan and I will go directly to the south of the city to rescue people." Chen Jia hesitated slightly. This clearly indicated that it was a trap by the enemy. However, time is running out now and there is no need to delay in rescuing people, so he just Neng gritted his teeth and agreed to Yuan Hao's decision.
She said to the two of them:
"You must be careful, don't show off!" Then he quickly turned back the way he came. Yuan Hao and Lin Yan nodded, looked at each other, and flew towards the south of the city... With the speed of the two of them, they quickly arrived at the location indicated on the note.
Standing outside the grove, the surroundings were quiet, a bit strange in the dark environment. Lin Yan communicated with Qiu Lao in the sea of consciousness and asked him to investigate.
The grove was not big. As his consciousness expanded, Qiu Lao quickly located the location of Qian Duoduo. In addition, he also discovered other people.
There is indeed an ambush! Lin Yan thought so and told Yuan Hao his judgment. Of course, he didn't say that he had detected it, only that it was his own speculation, so as not to expose Qiu Lao's existence.
Yuan Hao nodded and said:
"Junior Lin Yan, now we can be regarded as 'knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and prefer to go to the tiger mountains'! Move quickly when you enter later, and leave immediately after saving Qian Duoduo, don't be reluctant to fight!" Lin Yan nodded! .
After the two people discussed it, they used their body skills and headed into the woods. After a while, he saw Qian Duoduo hanging on the tree.
His whole body was tied up like a silkworm chrysalis, and something was stuffed in his mouth, making it impossible for him to make a sound.
Lin Yan and the two quickly looked around to make sure there was no one in sight. Lin Yan directly attached his vitality to his feet, stepped up the tree trunk, and then cut the rope with a knife.
The moment Qian Duoduo fell, Yuan Hao had already rushed over and caught him firmly before he hit the ground.
After reaching out to take the thing out of Qian Duoduo's mouth, Lin Yan came over and cut the rope on his body for him.
After Qian Duoduo regained his freedom, he said excitedly:
"Senior Yuan Hao, Senior Lin Yan, you are here!" Yuan Hao
He said "hmm" and then asked:
"Do you know who kidnapped you?" Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know either. I was knocked unconscious from behind when I went out to buy groceries. I didn't see anyone the whole time. But..."
"But what?" Yuan Hao asked. Qian Duoduo scratched his head and said:
"But I seem to vaguely hear the words 'King Kong Gate', but I'm not sure." Yuan Hao's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said:
"'Vajra Gate'!" Then he looked around and said:
"Friends, since we are all here, aren't you going to come out and have a chat?" After the voice came out, it slowly echoed in the woods and finally dissipated, but no one responded.
Yuan Hao frowned slightly when he saw this, thinking: Does the other party not intend to talk? In this case, why go to all the trouble to lure them here by holding Qian Duoduo hostage?
Could it be that he was just trying to make fun of them? No one would be so boring! Since he couldn't guess the other party's intention and no one showed up, Yuan Hao secretly made a gesture with the two of them, then quickly turned around and evacuated.
After they left, a masked man in black stood on a tree deep in the forest and said to the people next to him:
"Young Master, are you just going to let them go like this?" was called
The young man from "Young Master" chuckled lightly and said:
"Second Elder, don't worry, they can't run away!" A sigh came from the side and said:
"Oh! It just took a long time!" The young man comforted:
"Third Elder, I am too anxious to eat hot tofu. Don't worry, someone will be the vanguard for us!" After that, the three of them hid in the darkness again.
...After walking out of the woods in fear along the way, no one was chasing after him. Lin Yan couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Just now, Qiu Lao clearly sensed that there was an ambush in the woods, but why did he not take action at all and just let them leave? This is unreasonable!
The three of them all felt that this matter was too weird. They couldn't figure it out, so they could only increase their vigilance and speed towards the city.
As long as they successfully reunite with Liu Chuang and the others, they no longer have to worry about other conspiracies!
Just as they were running fast, suddenly, something flew from a distance and hit the road in front of them heavily, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The three of them were forced to stop their progress. After the dust cleared, they saw clearly that the flying object turned out to be a huge bronze hammer.
The head of the hammer is a hexagonal columnar object with intricate patterns carved on it. Judging from the fact that it creates a deep pit about ten feet in diameter on the ground, its weight and the strength of the person who throws the hammer are both terrifying. !
Lin Yan and the others looked straight ahead solemnly, and then two people slowly walked over from a distance. One of them is holding a teardrop-shaped shield. Judging from its material, it may be made of iron alloy.
The shield is surrounded by rivets, and the surface of the shield is cracked with tortoise shells, giving it a very heavy feel. The other person walked straight to the pit, reached out and picked up the giant bronze hammer inside, then casually put it on his shoulder and said loudly:
"Little kids, where are you going?" Seeing these two people wearing black clothes and covering their faces, blocking their way back at night, it seemed like they were not good people at first glance.
Yuan Hao asked tentatively:
"We are academy students. I wonder what the two seniors mean by blocking the road?" The old man with the giant hammer on his shoulders laughed and said:
"Academy? This old man is a wild man. He has never read any books and has never been to an academy. The main reason for coming here this time is that I lost some treasures the day before yesterday. I suspect that they were taken away secretly. Do you mind letting me? Are you going to search yourself?" Yuan Hao's eyes were cold when he heard this, and he slowly tightened his grip on the black iron rod in his hand.
What lost something? Can you even come up with such a lame excuse? This old guy is pretending to be stupid here, and it is obvious that he is here for them. It seems that he can't be nice today!
Seeing that Yuan Hao and others had no reaction, the old man who was resisting the hammer shook his head and said helplessly:
"Today's young people are just not very sensible! Anyway, since you don't want to, I'll do it myself!" As soon as the words fell, the three of them felt a huge sense of crisis coming, and Yuan Hao and Lin Yan hurriedly used The secret method forcibly enhanced his own strength, and then stood in front of Qian Duoduo with a weapon in hand.
After all, his current strength is too weak. If he takes a direct hit, he will definitely die! However, Lin Yan and the two misjudged the situation. As soon as the figure on the opposite side flashed, the old man came to the two of them, and then swung out the hammer.
The weapons touched, and a huge force came from them. The two of them were instantly hit and vomited blood and fell back. After struggling to get up, their eyes were full of horror and they said in shock:
"Acquired Heaven Realm...Later Stage!" The moment he determined the opponent's strength, Yuan Hao did not hesitate at all and shouted to Lin Yan and Qian Duoduo:
"Spread out and escape!" For an opponent of this level, he had no desire to fight. The opponent alone could easily kill three of his own, not to mention that there was a master beside the old man holding the hammer, who was probably at the acquired level at least. Strong.
The gap in strength is so huge that there is no need to fight! Looking at the three people fleeing, the old man holding the hammer smiled slightly, with a trace of
A "cat-playing-mouse" kind of banter. The sect received a piece of news before, saying that some academy disciples left the city alone. In the spirit of
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist", so he took his second son here to have a look. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected harvest.
"Third brother, let me send these little boys to accompany you, so that you won't be lonely on the road to hell!" The old man holding the hammer said, and then the figure disappeared from the place instantly.
