Volume 1 Looking Northwest, Shooting Sirius Chapter 35: Peach Grove Part 2
Accompanied by a swishing sound, a huge object ran at great speed.
Chai Tiannuo grabbed the severed tail, which was still warm, and chased after it with great strides.
The big fluffy brown-red tail is at least five or six meters long. At first glance, it looks like the tail of a fox!
"...This trip to the capital is really eye-opening. Wild dogs, hidden tribes, and now a vixen. It's like watching a show!"
Chai Tiannuo shook his head and realized that the fox demon in front of him was quite fast. If he kept running like this, he would leave the reed swamp in a short while.
Wrapping the fox tail around his waist, Chai Tiannuo took off the Moon Rhinoceros, bent his bow and set an arrow, listened briefly, and shot out an arrow!
"ah!"
A cry of pain rang out, and Chaitino grinned, having been hit.
Putting away the Moon Rhinoceros and drawing out the horizontal sword, Chai Tiannuo rushed over quickly.
"A fox with three tails?!"
Looking at the huge fox that was shot through the back thigh by an arrow and was lying on the ground rolling in pain, Chaitino couldn't help but look at the tails wrapped around his waist. Counting this one, there were exactly three.
Holding a horizontal knife and slowly coming to the front of the fox, Chai Tiannuo patted the tip of its big nose with the back of the knife and said in a cold voice:
"Why did you attack me? Give me a reason."
The fox just trembled and did not speak.
Chaitino smiled:
"If you don't give me a chance to live, I'll kill you right now and skin you. I'll definitely make a dozen fox fur coats!"
"Please, spare me."
Smoke rose, and a naked woman lay on the ground, holding a piece of animal skin in her hand. There was a terrifyingly large hole in her leg, and blood was flowing out.
"Zhu Yi, are you from the hidden tribe?"
Chai Tiannuo's eyes suddenly lit up. The last encounter with the Yin tribe made him murmur in his heart. His name was obviously the Tushan tribe of the Fox Country, but why was he wearing the animal clothing of a cat demon?
"The little girl was indeed a member of the hermit tribe in the past. I beg the strong man to spare my life."
The woman begged again, and Bai Huahua's body trembled, making Chaitino dazzled, thinking that this was the first time he was called a strong man.
He cut the reeds to cover the woman's body and stabbed the knife in front of her body. Chaitino said with a serious expression:
"I'll ask you questions and answer them. If you're satisfied, I'll let you go. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll give you your head in exchange for money!"
The pale-faced woman nodded repeatedly. The man in front of her was so powerful that she couldn't resist at all.
"Your origin."
"A dead soldier raised by a certain gentleman in the imperial court."
"Someone?"
Chaitino frowned, and the woman shook her head with tears in her eyes:
"It cannot be said that all the dead men like us are cursed and will die if we speak the Lord's name."
The spell was really strangely tight. Chai Tiannuo shook his head and asked:
"Why are you here?"
"Intercept and kill male and female robbers."
"Why intercept and kill them?"
"For half an ink stick."
"...What's so magical about half an ink stick?"
"I don't know. The Lord's order is for us to snatch the half of the ink ingot, and nothing else was mentioned."
The woman answered weakly. She had lost too much blood and was about to faint at the sight of her.
"...Open your mouth."
With some heartache, Chaitino pinched off a small piece of fruit and stuffed it into the woman's mouth. The woman's condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The curative effect of Laisheng fruit is really amazing. Chaitino plans to go to Zhili again sometime and pick more. This is a life-saving panacea.
"Thank you warrior!"
The woman's face was full of surprise. She actually possessed such a magical medicine. The origin of the swordsman in front of her was indeed something extraordinary.
"...No thanks, thank you for your patronage, fifty taels of silver."
"ah?"
Chaitino looked at the looming body under the cover of reeds and couldn't help but sigh. He was naked and asked her where to get fifty taels of silver.
"Stop talking about that, tell me, why do you want to intercept and kill the martial arts scholar?"
"The Lord ordered us to kill everyone except our own people to reduce the number of potential opponents."
"Do you have any resentment towards me for killing your sister?"
Chaitino looked straight at the woman, a wry smile appeared on her face:
"It's natural to have resentment. In the end, we are sisters who grew up together."
"But, not deep."
Having said this, the woman shook her head slightly and said with a gloomy face:
"As a dead soldier, there is only one way to die. But if you die early, you will die later. Resentment is meaningless."
Looking at the woman with a bitter look on her face, Chai Tiannuo nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the reeds. After a while of rustling, he walked out with a short coat and a small coat inside. He was shirtless and wearing leather armor.
"Just wear it as long as you can cover it up."
"You are lucky to be able to take your life from me. After all, you are a thousand-year-old man!"
Having said this, Chaitino, who turned his back, still felt a little heartbroken.
The woman got dressed and knelt on the ground:
"Tu Huiniang, thank you brave man for not killing me!"
"Let's go, find a way to get rid of control, control your own destiny, and become a tool of others. How can it be better than death?"
Chai Tiannuo waved his hand, Tu Huiniang nodded slightly, got up and got into the reeds.
"The body odor disappears as soon as it is removed. It seems that it must be the smell of some kind of medicinal powder they carry."
After muttering a few words, Chaitino randomly chose a direction and plunged in.
This time, he was not very lucky. Chai Tiannuo hid his head for half an hour and met two people's teams on the way, but he never caught a single outsider. As for the male and female robbers, he didn't even see a shadow.
"...Where have I been?"
Chaitino, who was running rampant in the reed swamp, looked at the scene in front of him in confusion, and his brain was a little unable to react.
I was just wandering around in the prodigal house, why did I suddenly come to a peach blossom forest?
Picking a few peach blossoms and rubbing them, Chai Tiannuo frowned. It was already this month. How could there still be peach blossoms? Where on earth was he?!
No, there is an unusual smell in the air.
Chaitino sniffed, and his expression suddenly changed. The fragrance of peach blossoms was mixed with the strong smell of blood, and the smell of blood was actually mixed with the smell of heaven and earth!
After sniffing again, the expression on Chaitino's face began to become strange. In the smell of blood, there was an aura that made him feel particularly friendly. What was the reason?
Moving forward with a knife, Chaitino didn't go far when he found the body of a policeman. It looked a bit miserable, with the chest and abdomen wide open, most of the internal organs inside were missing, and there were signs of being bitten.
Continuing forward, they found another corpse of a man from the army. The cause of death was exactly the same as that of the policeman. Then, corpses with the same cause of death were discovered one after another.
Chaitino frowned. The situation was really weird. The mutilated parts of the corpses had such a friendly atmosphere, which puzzled him.
When passing an unusually thick peach tree with bright red flowers in full bloom, Chaitino stopped.
Seven or eight tree roots as thick as an arm penetrated through the wound, and the two corpses that had died not long ago had turned into mummies.
Chai Tiannuo looked up at the peach tree, and couldn't help but feel tingly in his heart. Could it be that those flowers that were much brighter than other peach trees were made by sucking enough blood?
Could this vast expanse of peach trees be the dryads in ghost novels?!
Just when Chaitino was distracted, a man in black suddenly jumped down from the tree, with a width of four feet, and slashed at his head!
