Chapter 63 Only one step away from the border
Nour's words surprised me. You must know that Little Guanyin's senior brother Maitreya saved me from General Ruan's knife just now, and in order to save my life, he even killed General Ruan, who was far stronger than us. To be honest, such friendship is already very interesting.
The so-called good or bad actually depends on the position. From Annan's perspective, General Ruan is loyal to the country, but from our perspective, he is just trying to survive.
Nuer smiled when he saw me and said, "Don't you think Maitreya has other intentions to kill General Ruan?"
When he said this, I remembered the speculation at that time.
At that time, Maitreya killed General Ruan, and there were two things. One of them was indeed as he said, as he followed his junior sister's request and took into account the friendship between his fellow villagers, so he had to kill someone; the other was very simple, four words, killing someone to silence him.
Although it was only a moment, I could see how excited Maitreya was after receiving the mysterious insect egg blessed by the dragon elephant golden rat.
Even the little white dragon dragon horn that was running thousands of miles away could be ignored. Even Nur's legendary God-killing Stick, it can be inferred how precious the insect egg he had in his bag was. However, not only did this matter be seen by me, but also by his junior sister Xiao Guanyin, but also by General Ruan, who was not much stronger than him.
General Ruan did not mention this matter at that time, but it did not mean that he would not mention it after he had gained an absolute advantage after leaving the valley.
Wealth is moving, but for practitioners, what else is more touching than these strange treasures?
There are ten or five in this world and killing people, let alone this one?
But even so, Maitreya let us go, and finally took some affection into consideration. Nur and I discussed it and decided not to stop and hurried north. On the way, Nur told me one thing, that is, although the turtle cannibal tree in the Ouluo Valley has been destroyed, I don’t know what happened, but the God-killing Stick in his hand has benefited. During the time in the water, it was not that he was deliberately lurking, but that the God-killing Stick was held by a huge will - he had a feeling that the God-killing Stick seemed to have entered a certain will.
Or maybe the tree mother-in-law who was a man-eating tree could still have a backup plan and was in his stick.
I was very surprised by Nuer's guess. I borrowed the stick and came to see it for a while, but in the end I couldn't see any changes on the dark peach wood stick.
Of course, this stick is from Noor. It is like a person who drinks water and knows the temperature and heat of the body, but others cannot notice it.
We don’t know how many days we tied up in the cave, but it was the rest of the past few days that Nur and I had enough rest. At this moment, we were so energetic that we had to hurry up. The fatigue of the previous battle was no longer affected. Then we followed the map and crossed mountains and ridges, hiding day and out at night. After walking for two days, we finally arrived at the edge of a primeval forest at the junction of the two countries. The Suxianling here is tall and steep, with turbulent rivers, which is a natural barrier and the junction of the two countries. The two sides deployed very few troops, which is the best way to cross the border.
The only disadvantage is that during the war between the two sides, in order to prevent the enemy's surprise attacks, hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of landmines were buried in this land of hundreds of miles in radius.
As a cheap and simple means of national defense, landmines have been favored by both sides of the belligerent countries. In the past few years, countless landmines have become barriers to exchanges between the two countries, flooding mountains, river beaches and any area that cannot reach. However, compared with the pass that has forced the heavy army to break through, we still have a bigger chance to walk from here. After all, as long as we enter the night, we have another means, which is to stay in the darkness of my little sword.
Yes, the reason why I dare to take this path is because Bai He is the trump card. Although she is a ghost body, she can have more vision than us and can also point us out a way out from the vast forest.
We wandered in the mountains and forests for two days, and tried our best to avoid the crowds, eating wind and drinking dew. On the evening of the third day, Nur and I slid down from a big tree, and then I patted the little sword and summoned Bai He out.
Bai He swallowed the unformed inner elixir of the little dragon and condensed his body, so that Nour could see it. Before that, I had confirmed with her about this matter. After several experiences of living and dying together, Bai He and I could have a tacit understanding. After a few jokes, we began to move deep into the forest.
In the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, there is a lot of moisture, and the mosquitoes at night are Wuyang. As the saying goes, "three mosquitoes and one dish of vegetables", it is very ferocious. Although it is not as scary as the human face, the maggots and flies, ordinary people can never stand it. However, Nur and I have not been worried about this these days. We both guessed that it might be because of the dragon meat we ate a few days ago.
Any spiritual beast, not to mention the little white tiger that looks like the little Guanyin, even this unformed little dragon is born with a kind of pressure. This kind of thing has no feeling for people, but those insects and other things are the most sensitive.
For example, cats and dogs, ants can have premonitions of earthquakes in advance. After millions of years of evolution, the biological instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm has long been rooted in their genes.
Because of this, our itinerary was still smooth. Except for the wet road in the forest after the rain, there was no much trouble. We walked all the way, probably to the moon and the star-gazing positioning of Nur, and then compared the military map provided by Maitreya, we judged that if we walked straight forward, we should be able to return to the border within two hours before dawn. When we returned to the country, everything became simple. As long as we found the nearest troops or grassroots governments, we could return and meet with the large troops of the Religious Bureau.
Thinking of this, Nur and I couldn't help but feel excited, and then we started to talk about the things we had done these days, about the Xiaobailong and the Ouluo Valley.
You know, the political review at that time was quite strict. If there were any mistakes, it would be very troublesome.
However, things were not as simple as we imagined. Bai He, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly turned back and told me a shocking news, that is, when she was exploring the road in the minefield ahead, she discovered an old friend. This old friend was not a human, but a big mouse as big as a cat. In the dark night, her eyes were flushed red.
This news made Nur and I feel cold all over. The appearance of a big rat means that Annan, the famous Southeast Asia Rat King, may be nearby.
Why is he here? You should know that this area is a minefield jointly confirmed by the two countries of war, and most people will not appear here. Even the Black Demon Sand, Rat King, General Ruan and his group crossed the border and walked through another pass, not here, because if you act here, it is too easy to get into trouble. If you really step on the mine, then no matter whether you are a practitioner or not, you will still be furious.
In the darkness, Nuer turned his head, looked at me, and asked in a low voice: "Did Maitreya betray us?"
I shook my head and said negatively: "Maitreya only provides a military map, and he doesn't know which route we will take. It's impossible that it is him, maybe the Rat King came here because of something else."
No matter what happened, the appearance of a group of fat rats under the Rat King's command means that the risk of our trip suddenly increased countless times. I wanted to cross the border quietly under the noses of his hundreds of fat rats. This matter is really a difficult task for me and Nuer, two newly debuted raw melon seeds. You must know that those rats are not as cute as the dragon elephant golden rats of Maitreya. Most of them have evil souls planted on them. In the war years, human lives are as cheap as grass. It provides enough materials for the Rat King, which is very difficult to deal with.
For safety reasons, Nur and I discussed it and decided not to be impatient. Since the Rat King appeared here, we should avoid it and turn it back first. After this popularity has passed, we will find another way.
Nur and I are not outstanding people, and we don’t have to fight with a long-standing champion like the Rat King, so they turned around and left.
We were on a ridge at that time. It was easy to go up the mountain and it was difficult to go down the mountain. We didn't dare to use any lighting methods. It was quite difficult to walk. Fortunately, the moonlight was enough at that time, and Nur and I had strong night vision ability, so it was fine. However, when we walked down and walked into a short forest, Bai He, who was still exploring the way forward, suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "No, there are also in front."
Noor and I heard her reminder. When we walked forward, we saw two black figures in the woods under the moonlight, squirming in the woods in front of us, towering and red light flashing in the darkness.
When we looked over, the two pairs of red eyes just crossed the forest and looked over.
The mouse's sense of smell is no worse than that of Ruan Liangjing, a man under the iron hoop.
With eyes facing each other, I immediately knew that we were discovered. I didn't care about hiding my body at the moment, so I pulled Nuer up and ran away. However, just as we were jumping out of the grass, the two mice squeaked, not loud, but were so crisp that they could travel through the mountains and forests. Before we could run a hundred meters, we felt that there were small footsteps running in the darkness in all directions. I don't know how many mice appeared around us.
