Chapter 077
Two beams of light, one green and one yellow, penetrated directly into the tumbling black smoke. The powerful force tore open two large holes in the black smoke, and exploded two large pits in a radius of about a meter on the ground. However, without hitting their targets, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi seemed to suddenly disappear out of thin air.
The person who emitted the light column was extremely vigilant. He missed a single blow and immediately realized that the situation was not good. Before he could land, the sword in his hand suddenly lit up on the ground, and with the help of the rebounding force, he shot backwards and prepared to return to their previous hiding place. Unfortunately, it was too late.
Two white sword lights like a train rose into the sky and slashed directly at the two sneak attackers, with extremely fast speed and flashed in one flash. However, the two sneak attackers were not ordinary people. In a hurry, the long sword in their palms was magnificent and waved forward. Two sword lights about a foot long came out of the sword and met the sword light.
Dingding, two metal clashes sounded at the same time, and two sword lights and two sword lights shattered at the same time. However, the sword light was different from the sword light. After the sword light was broken, it disappeared without a trace. After the sword light was broken, it did not disappear, but turned into pieces of snowflake-like white light and continued to fly towards the two sneak attackers.
The sneak attackers seemed not to have expected this situation and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. When they waved their long swords to protect their bodies, the snow-shaped white lights had already approached their bodies, and it was impossible to completely avoid them.
Silently, many wounds appeared on the bodies of the two sneak attackers, and their clothes were cut into pieces, falling from the air with the splashing blood, like a group of butterflies flying among the fallen flowers, with a hint of desolation in beauty.
Perhaps because of the injury, the two sneak attackers' movements of wielding their long swords no longer started to be smooth, and some flaws appeared, and this gave the snowflake-like white light a chance, like a group of bloodthirsty sharks, swarming towards them.
Depending on the situation, if they can't help themselves, although the white lights are dissipating, they are enough to cut them into pieces. Even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. This is still the case when they force their true energy to protect their bodies. Otherwise, they will instantly turn into a pile of meat sauce.
The two sneak attackers also seemed to understand this truth. One of the more burly people grabbed another person who looked a little thinner and threw him backwards hard. He accelerated to fall towards the snow-shaped white light. In a flash, his whole body became flesh and bloody.
The person who was thrown out took advantage of the opportunity to fly to a big tree, with his feet on the branch, like a flying arrow off the string, using all his strength to escape to the distance.
At this time, the edge of the black smoke surged, and Meng Xiang and Yan Shi almost flew out from inside. They saw the sneak attacker who was running away, all with murderous intent.
At this moment, the sneak attacker who sacrificed himself to save people seemed to see the crisis, roared, dragging the flesh and blood, and exposed his bones in many places, pouring the remaining true energy into the sword, roaring around, and rushing towards them, as if he wanted to stop them and give the person he saved time to escape.
Meng Xiang's eyes turned cold, he poked out his finger and flicked it gently, directly shaking the true energy wrapped in the sword. Then he gently clamped the sword that was stabbing at him and Yan Shi. Then he pulled it down and grabbed the sword, and then swung his wrist hard, turning the sword into a little cold star, and shooting it at the person who was running away like lightning.
The man who sacrificed himself to save him showed a desperate expression, opened his arms and rushed towards Meng Xiang, as if he wanted to die with him. However, he had no chance to realize this wish in his life, because just when he was about to pounce on Meng Xiang, Yan Shi had already slashed at him and cut off his neck directly.
Almost as he died at the same time as Yan Shidao, the long sword he seized by Meng Xiang also came behind the man who sacrificed his life to save him, and was about to shoot him in the buttocks.
Just when Meng Xiang and Yan Shi thought that the man would be injured, a yellow light suddenly flashed on his body, and a three-foot-meter-long earth-yellow round shield appeared behind him. With a tingling sound, the long sword that was flying towards him was blocked by the shield, but the shield also appeared spider-web-like cracks from the center where the sword was hit.
Yan Shi was stunned when he saw this situation, but he quickly reacted and was about to chase after him, but his shoulder was pressed down by a strong hand.
Yan Shi turned around and found that it was Meng Xiang who caught him. He asked in confusion: "Brother Meng, why did you stop me? If you let him go, wouldn't you let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"Let the tiger return to the mountain? He is just a mouse who dares not see the light." Meng Xiang showed a contemptuous expression, "But the identity of this mouse is a bit special. If we kill him now, then my previous efforts and the plan I have set long ago will be ruined."
"You want to leave his life?" Yan Shi seemed to remember something, "Oh, by the way. This is why you didn't attack him just now?"
"No, otherwise, how could I miss the shot at this distance?"
Yan Shi inserted the long knife back into the scabbard and asked curiously: "Brother Meng, what are your plans? Can you tell me?"
"No." Meng Xiang refused simply, but after seeing Yan Shi showing a disappointed expression, he added, "Although I can't tell you my plan for the time being, I can tell the identity of the mouse who just escaped."
"Who is he?" Yan Shi's spirit was slightly excited.
"If I guessed correctly, he should be Qi Mufeng, the only son of Qi Changzheng, the lord of Tiemu City."
"He is actually the son of the lord of Tiemu City?" Yan Shi showed a look of surprise, but soon showed a thoughtful expression, "Brother Meng, is it because of his identity if you don't kill him?"
"Identity?" Meng Xiang sneered, "If you dare to attack me, don't say that he is just Qi Changzheng's son, even if he is Qi Changzheng himself, I will kill him."
After hearing Meng Xiang's words, Yan Shi's eyes suddenly turned, and a proud look appeared on his face, and he said, "Brother Meng, even if you don't tell me, I've guessed your plan."
"Did you know my plan? Tell me."
"Brother Meng, why are you not surprised at all?" Yan Shi felt a little confused when he saw that Meng Xiang did not look surprised because of his amazing words.
"Why am I surprised? I have already revealed a lot of information. If you can't guess some fur, you are not strict."
"Brother Meng, what does your plan really have to do with the City Lord's Mansion?"
"It's true that there is something to do, but the specific content is not the time to tell you." As he said that, Meng Xiang walked towards the big tree with the flying camels tied to the twin peaks.
Yan Shi followed two steps and asked, "Brother Meng, let's leave now? No matter who the corpses are?"
"What do we care about them? Even if they are buried, they will be taken out and eaten by wild dogs. What's more, they will not be taken out by wild dogs, and someone will be taken out after we leave. Why bother us?"
While speaking, Meng Xiang had untied a double-medge flying camel tied to the tree and led it to another double-medge flying camel.
Yan Shi came over to help, and while untiing the rope, he asked, "Brother Meng, do you think someone would take out the bodies of these people. Who would be? What was they trying to pull them out? Was they transported their bodies back to bury them?"
"Stone, you think of those people too kindly. They took them out, just to infer some information from their wounds."
At this time, Meng Xiang had already untied all four double-peaked flying camels and was about to leave. Yan Shi grabbed the reins and asked, "Brother Meng, have you not told who will take their bodies?"
Meng Xiang looked at Yan Shi, shook his head, and said, "Shitou, you are not thinking about it anymore. I don't believe that you can't think of the answer to such a simple question. You want to go."
Meng Xiang snatched the reins of the flying camel on both sides and strode away. Yan Shi scratched his scalp and said in confusion: "Is this question really simple?" He frowned, followed Meng Xiang, lowered his head and thought.
After about a minute, he suddenly raised his head, took two steps, caught up with Meng Xiang, and said repeatedly: "I thought of it, I thought of it."
"What did you think of? Tell me, listen." Meng Xiang asked casually.
"Since their head is the only son of the city lord Qi Changzheng, the person who knows their whereabouts must be from the city lord's mansion, so the person who comes to dig their bodies must also be from the city lord's mansion. Brother Meng, am I right?"
"Shitou, I've said it a long time ago. Your brain is not stupid. The problem is that you don't like to use it." Meng Xiang shook his head helplessly.
"Hehe..." Yan Shi showed a honest smile, but suddenly the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by doubts, "Brother Meng, aren't we going to hunt? Why are we going back now?"
"Stone, don't you understand yet? We went out of the city to hunt, and the purpose was to let some people find opportunities to start. Of course, this was also a test. Although it seemed a bit boring, in order to achieve my plan, I could only play with them reluctantly. Now that my goal has been achieved, we will of course go back."
Meng Xiang's guess was very accurate. Not long after he and Yan Shi left, a team of people came to the battlefield, carefully explored the entire scene, and even drew detailed sketches. In the end, all the bodies were transported away while they were still intact.
Because they did not deliberately walk away, when Meng Xiang and Yan Shi returned to Tiemu City, the sun had not yet set completely. They did not go directly to find a hotel to have a meal and rest, but instead found a place to store the four double-peaked flying camels, and rushed to the center of the city.
When the pointer on the pocket watch pointed at nine o'clock in the evening, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi were already eating the banquet booked from Baiyun Tower in their new residence.
The new home has five main rooms, four side rooms, two kitchens and a spacious horse shed, and of course a large courtyard that is almost ten feet square.
The most important thing is that it is closer to the iron tree in the middle of Tiemu City, and the straight line is only more than two miles away. It can be said that it is completely under the protection of Tiemu and does not have to worry about being invaded by various natural disasters.
Logically speaking, houses in this kind of golden area should be very expensive, but Meng Xiang only spent less than 10,000 taels of silver in total, which was exactly 8,500 taels. The 8,500 taels of silver seemed a lot, but the price of houses with an area similar to his new home in the same area is at least 200,000 taels of silver.
