Chapter 675: The Riverside Massacre
On the official road thirty miles away from the east gate of Xuantong City, an escort team under the banner of Tongcheng was slowly walking towards Xuantong County City. The escort leader Cheng Hongli had a very good eye and had already seen the walls of Xuantong City in a shadow. Cheng Hongli looked back at the several escort cars behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, and then increased his efforts. He could arrive at Xuantong City before the evening. Thinking about the weekly diary semi-cort of Zhou Dewang's weekly diary semi-column, Cheng Hongli was in a good mood, and the people on the weekly diary semi-column also said that there was an additional silver reward for safe delivery.
Cheng Hongli was very proud of his heart. How could he be unhappy with the money? Who would not be able to get through the money? Thirty steps away from the official road, there is a river of not small, called Tongcheng River, which is the origin of the name of Tongcheng Escort Bureau of Xuantong County. This Tongcheng River was named after it passed through Xuantong County. Yan Jihe, the chief escort leader who founded the escort bureau, was born on the banks of Tongcheng River, so after the escort bureau was founded, it was named Tongcheng.
Perhaps because of the name of the escort agency, the bodyguards of Tongcheng escort agency have never failed in recent years, so they have gained a great reputation in Jiannan Road. Now Yan Dongsheng, the shopkeeper of the escort agency, is Yan Jihe's eldest son. He plays a good ghost-headed sword and is also good at martial arts with Cheng Hongli. The two have a close relationship. They once laughed after drinking and said that when their children grow up, they will become relatives. Hongli is not in his heart, and he doesn't look down on the boys of the Yan family. His daughter of Cheng is the granddaughter of the enemy. How can a tiger girl match a dog?
Cheng Hongli was thinking about his worries. The escort Wang Yuping came up with a bad horse and shouted: "Head Cheng, we have been driving a cart and picking up horses for more than twenty miles. We are already thirsty. Do you want to drink in this river?" Cheng Hongli turned around and looked at the cart and picking up horses, nodding and agreeing. According to the rules of the escort agency, we don't drink horses in poor mountains and rivers. Here, we are too close to home and too familiar with it. Moreover, it is Tongcheng River, which has the same name as the escort agency. There is no problem. Cheng Hongli waved his hand and signaled that Wang Yuping could bring people to drink horses.
Tongcheng River is only thirty steps away from the roadside. The escort agency's escort agency directly brought a bucket to the river to fetch water. After drinking the horse, he could rest for a while and go straight to Zhouji Silk and Satin Village in the city to deliver the goods. The escort Wang Yuping was cautious and personally brought the bucket and a few friends to the Tongcheng River. Although the river water was clear, he had to prevent people from poisoning. Wang Yuping carried the horse and carried two buckets to the Tongcheng River. He looked around and saw that everything was nothing unusual as usual. Wang Yuping felt relieved and signaled the guys to fetch water together.
The water flow on this section of the river was extremely smooth, but it was unfathomable. As the saying goes, the deep flow of quiet water was not fake at all. Wang Yuping drew two buckets of water and handed them to a new friend. The guy took the two buckets with a smile and went steadily to the side of the road. Seeing that the five guys were already walking back with the buckets, Wang Yuping turned around and walked towards the escort team.
Wang Yuping had just walked two steps away when suddenly the roadside escort Song Shilu shouted: "Old Wang be careful behind you!" Song Shilu saw a big black monkey with green face and fangs suddenly jumping out of the water. The big black monkey was slightly taller than a human, six feet above and six feet. After jumping out of the water, he rushed straight to Wang Yuping. Song Shilu's reaction was fast enough. At the moment of shouting, he had already pulled out his sabre and ran over. Unfortunately, there were more pebbles on the river bank, and Song Shilu could not run wildly like the flat ground, and he secretly complained in his heart.
When Song Shilu's shouts blurted out, Wang Yuping also felt something strange behind him, and a bloody wind blew over. Wang Yuping pulled out the sabre that was carrying it like lightning, and at the same time moved sideways, turning around and slashed it out. After all, he was an escort, the person licking blood on the knife. However, everything was too late, and Wang Yuping's head was slapped by someone. Before he died, Wang Yuping seemed to see
The enemy was a strange creature. It seemed that an ugly black monkey jumped out of the water. The big monkey was covered in water. However, Wang Yuping died of a life of death just by seeing these.
Song Shilu, who came to support, was already fast enough to jump into the air from the horse's back, slashing in the air, slashing out with one knife, but he was still a step slower. Wang Yuping, who turned around and slashed out with a sharp knife, had already been slapped inch above the head of the big monkey. When Song Shilu, who was sprinting towards him with one knife, the black big monkey with a very ugly appearance, even green face and fangs, actually retreated three feet awkwardly, and barely avoided the sword that could break the stone.
Song Shilu failed to hit the knife, and his heart suddenly sank. The ability of this water monkey is definitely not worse than that of a martial arts master. Wang Yuping, who has entered the fourth-grade martial arts realm, was killed with one blow. Although it was a sneak attack, he was very good at timing and measure, and he was more like a famous and experienced killer. Song Shilu is also very skilled in martial arts. Without waiting for a knife to get old, he stepped forward in the air again and stabbed in the diagonal. A dazzling sword light slashed at the shoulder of the black water monkey. If this knife hits, Song Shilu is completely confident that he will split the water monkey into two sections.
However, Song Shilu still underestimated the agility of this water monkey. The extremely ugly-looking black water monkey suddenly retreated back three steps, and had already stepped on a large green pebbles by the river. Song Shilu suddenly heard a creepy cooing sound from the black water monkey's throat. The creepy sound was like coming from hell, as if a hungry ghost wanted to eat people.
After the gurgling sound, the originally clear and clear water surface of Tongcheng River suddenly became turbid. The water surface was like a boiling flower, and it immediately cracked. Four monkeys with extremely ugly furs jumped out of the river. Song Shilu, who was still in the air, had his heart and courage. What kind of fun are these unknown creatures? However, before he could think, the five monkeys had joined forces.
The black big water monkey rushed forward and punched Song Shilu. Song Shilu's pupils suddenly contracted. He found that the monkey was so fast that it was beyond his imagination. Song Shilu could not dodge, so he could only lift up his energy and try his best to block his chest. The black big water monkey hit Song Shilu's chest with a palm. The defensive energy in Song Shilu's chest was broken by a punch, and then it was beaten backwards more than three feet away, fell to the ground, and his saber also dropped off his hand.
Song Shilu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Song Shilu was shocked. In addition to being extremely fast, the water monkey might have at least a martial arts realm between the third and second grades. Is this a human or a ghost, or some other unknown creature? Before Song Shilu could turn over and get up from the ground, five water monkeys jumped up. Song Shilu's limbs were grabbed in his hands by several water monkeys. Song Shilu shouted in horror: "Let me go!" Before the shouting, the four water monkeys pulled around, and had already pulled Song Shilu into four pieces, and threw them bloodily on the bank of the river.
Cheng Hongli, the head of the escort who had just organized his escorts to protect the escort car, was full of souls. Several escorts who went to fetch water also lost the bucket, rolled and crawled back to the escort team, each picked up his weapons, and looked at the five big water monkeys in horror. These five things that looked ugly and looked like monkeys but not monkeys were really terrible!
Wang Yuping and Song Shilu are both fourth-grade martial arts realm and can be called the backbone of the escort agency. However, within one round, these monkeys were smashed into pieces. These monkeys jumped out of the water, and what exactly are they? If Wang Yuping was killed because of a sneak attack, it was understandable that Song Shilu took action head-on and was seriously injured by the monster's punch, and then tore it apart. How terrifying is this?
The remaining escorts in the escort team, all the guys were trembling and their calves were stinging. These things were definitely not monkeys, but ghosts! A few guys were so scared that they leaned on the car, and their pants were wet. These monsters were so scared that they were all pissed. Cheng Hongli said at the top of his voice: "Protect the escort car and form a formation!" The escorts and guys, who had been scared by the five monsters with green faces and fangs, woke up by the escort head, and screamed and formed a formation.
The Tongcheng Formation of Tongcheng Escort Bureau is still very famous. More than a dozen escorts formed a circular formation with the tip of the knife facing outward. Cheng Hongli held his famous weapon, nine-section whip, jumped to the center of the formation, endured his beating heart, and commanded his brothers. He only hoped that other escort agencies would pass by, or that officers and soldiers would patrol here, even if there were horse bandits passing by, at least humans could still unite in front of monsters to fight with these monsters.
These monsters killed Wang Yuping and tore Song Shilu apart, which clearly showed that they would not give up with the escort team. Although these escorts and friends were extremely afraid and some of them had their calves turned aside, they were still willing to fight hard under the command of the escort leader Cheng Hongli. After all, they were all doing a life of licking blood on the knife. I have seen the big scenes. If you don’t kill it, it will kill you. Even if you fight to death, you still can’t escape death. Since that’s the case, why don’t you give up your life to fight? What if you win by chance?
The Tongcheng formation slowly turned, and Cheng Hongli's heart was tight. If he met a human martial arts master, he could also talk about friendship and spend some money on roads. But what should he say when he encountered these monsters that could tear people? There was no other choice except to fight to the death. Cheng Shilu gritted his teeth and shouted: "Brothers, let's fight with these monsters. Don't be afraid. I believe that these monsters are also flesh and blood. As long as they hit it, they can kill them!"
The corpse masters shouted, "To be brave for themselves. In such an occasion, if you are not afraid, it would be deceiving yourself. But being afraid is useless, you can only fight. Everyone watched the water monkeys attack separately, the two water monkeys headed straight to Tongcheng Formation, and the other three water monkeys actually went to kill the horses! Seeing these water monkeys separated, Cheng Hongli was secretly happy. This was an opportunity. If these five guys came together, it was still unknown whether they could win. If the horse died, you can buy it again. As long as the corpse could be kept, there would be no problem.
Cheng Hongli shouted loudly, "Brothers, come on!" The escorts and escorts formed a formation to charge. The Tongcheng formation evolved from the formation on the battlefield. It is said that it was passed by a formation master to Yan Jihe, the founder of the escort agency. The formation was rigorous, and even if it faced the same number of Jianghu Haoke, it would not suffer any loss. Cheng Hongli had sufficient confidence in the formation, and killing two monsters should be no problem.
However, after only one encounter, Cheng Hongli began to doubt his life. Although the two green-faced and fanged water monkeys were in a knife, they were invulnerable to swords and guns. Even Cheng Hongli's nine-section whip could not cause any major damage to the water monkeys. The psychology of the escort agency collapsed instantly. Is there anything more terrifying than an invulnerable opponent? As the two guys were torn apart by the water monkeys, everyone no longer had the fighting spirit. They shouted and wanted to escape.
Cheng Hongli's heart was almost out of his throat. If he had known this would have ended up like this, he would have called on his brothers to escape. Leaving the green mountains, not afraid of losing to the masters, it would be a lack of martial arts. However, losing to such monsters who kill without blinking will make them tear people, and everyone will die meaninglessly.
Cheng Hongli took the initiative, and a nine-section whip dance in his hand was not clear. He rushed towards the two monkeys, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, escape quickly, one can escape, one will be the other, go back to the escort agency to ask for help! Report to the official!"
