His clothes were torn to pieces, and bloody wounds could be seen everywhere on his body under the clothes.
On the ground around him, broken limbs and pieces of flesh could be seen everywhere, and blood was flowing all over the ground.
The villagers and Crow God generals who came around looked at Luo Kuan standing in the flesh and blood with fear, and did not dare to speak, lest the other party would be so angry that he would pour out his anger on himself.
"You..." After a while, Luo Kuan stood up slowly and whispered.
"What are you all doing standing here? Go get that guy back for me!"
Probably hearing the suppressed anger in Luo Kuan's tone, the Crow God General around him quickly responded: "But...but he was taken away by that woman a long time ago..."
Luo Kuan turned his head and looked sternly at the Crow God General who made the noise: "Don't any of you follow her?"
The Crow God General trembled and hurriedly said: "We... we saw that the leader of the village was besieged by these traitors, and we were worried about the safety of the leader of the village, so..."
"Worried about my safety?" A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Luo Kuan's mouth: "Then why are you just watching and no one takes action?"
"Are you thinking that maybe these traitors can kill me and then you can replace me?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale, and they all knelt down at that moment, crying and begging for mercy. Their tone was so sad that they were obviously extremely afraid of the person in front of them.
"Trash!" Luo Kuan looked at everyone coldly and said.
As soon as he said this, under the horrified eyes of everyone, Luo Kuan's face suddenly split open and turned into tentacles, which surged around, rolled up all the flesh and blood on the ground, and put them into his mouth.
The scene was very bizarre. Even the Crow God generals who were his confidants had never seen the appearance of their village leader. Their faces were pale and their stomachs were churning, but they did not dare to show any signs of it. They just kept their heads down.
I didn't dare to take another look at it.
At this time, after swallowing the flesh and blood into his belly, Luo Kuan's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the fat all over his body also shrank at this time, and his body was no longer as thick as before.
So bloated.
His figure became taller and slender, the muscles on his body were sharp and angular, and he looked somewhat strangely beautiful.
At the same time, a pair of black wings spread out on his back. He flapped his wings slightly and rose up from the ground. He looked at his perfect body and murmured: "This body can no longer be used."
If it lasts too long, this is my last chance."
"I have to eat him!"
Saying this, he turned his head suspiciously and looked at the people kneeling around him, and asked quietly again.
"What? Are you waiting for me to find you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled and did not dare to delay for another moment. The ordinary villagers turned around and fled towards the village gate at this time.
The dozen or so crow god generals sprouted wings from their backs and fluttered away.
…
Chu Zhaozhao supported Yue Jian and walked behind Ziyu. Behind him, Cao Shun also supported Huang Quxiang and hurried along slowly.
The bandits from the Ghost Crow Village who were chasing after them had already been eliminated by the joint efforts of Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu. According to the original plan, they should leave from the mountain trail behind Xiyuan Peak at this moment, although there were also Ghost Crows on that trail.
The bandits in the village are fortified, but compared to the main road they came from, the number of bandits will be much smaller, and they can also try to avoid it.
But what Chu Zhaozhao and Ziyu didn't expect was that a large number of crow slaves also followed them at this time.
The crow slaves were not stupid. After a brief panic, a group of them realized acutely that Chu Zhaozhao and his team, who forced their way into the Ghost Crow Village and released thousands of crow slaves, were their only saviors.
Therefore, these crow slaves were determined to follow Chu Zhaozhao and others from the moment they escaped from trouble. They carefully kept a distance from Chu Zhaozhao and others, not daring to get close for fear of angering them, but they also did not want to get too far away.
Far away, for fear of losing this hard-earned chance to survive.
Facts also proved that their choice was very smart. They had followed them halfway along the mountain road, but only seven or eight people died in the melee.
There were more than a dozen bandits from the Ghost Crow Village blocking the way ahead. Ziyu stepped forward with a sword in his hand, and the silver light falling snow rushed into the formation like a swimming dragon. Those ordinary bandits, who had the cultivation of the Four Realms and the protection of the Earthly Demon King Sword,
In front of him, he was like a doll.
No one could get within three feet of her, but within ten seconds, all the bandits were defeated and fell to the ground.
Seeing that the bandits were defeated, the crow slaves who were following them quickly stepped forward, came to the group of bandits, and took away the weapons from the hands of the bandits...
In such a situation where you may face life and death at any time, holding a sword in your hand, even if you have no cultivation, can make people feel at ease.
"These guys..." Ziyu frowned, looking at the ragged crow slaves in front of her with a hint of anger.
"How long will you follow?" Ziyu asked in a cold voice.
Along the way, the Crow slaves had witnessed several times the scene where Ziyu harvested the lives of the bandits in Ghost Crow Village like wheat.
Of course they also understood that if the girl was angered, it would not be difficult for her to kill them.
Facing her question, everyone lowered their heads with fear on their faces, but no one dared to respond.
Such silence obviously made Ziyu and Jia angry. She frowned, raised the sword in her hand, and stepped forward. When the crow slaves saw this, their faces turned pale and they all backed away.
"Forget it, Ziyu." But at this moment, Chu Zhaozhao on the side suddenly stepped forward and reached out to stop Ziyu.
She glanced at the crow slaves unbearably and said, "They just want to live."
"Following us will have no impact on us..."
Hearing this, Ziyu looked back at her, with the corners of her mouth raised and her eyebrows cold: "No impact?"
"Take a good look at their bodies..." Ziyu said, pointing to one of them.
It was a man, and standing next to him was a girl about his age.
Chu Zhaozhao didn't know why. He looked up at that time and saw that the man seemed to feel something. He quickly covered his forehead and lowered his head.
Although his reaction was considered fast, Chu Qingxiao still saw clearly at a glance that there was a strange black crow-like thing on the other person's forehead - it was the Crow Slave Seal!
Although Chu Qingxiao tried his best to destroy the crow slave marks in their bodies when he released these crow slaves, under the chaos of the situation, it was inevitable that some fish would slip through the net.
And as long as there is such a fish that slipped through the net, it is equivalent to leaving traces for Guiya Village. If they are determined to track them, no matter how far they escape, the people of Guiya Village will always be able to track their whereabouts.
"Huh, are you sure he has no influence on us?" Ziyu asked with a sneer.
Chu Zhaozhao's expression changed at that moment, and the surrounding crow slaves also suddenly became ugly.
They all turned their heads to look at the crow slave.
Crow slave's head was buried lower at this time, his body was shaking and his face turned pale.
The scene fell silent.
After about ten breaths, the crow slave clenched his fists, broke free from the hand of the woman beside him that was tightly holding the hem of his clothes, and then looked back at the woman with a flashing look.
That was a deep look.
He seemed to have exhausted all his strength at this glance, trying to carve the other person's appearance into his soul.
After doing this, he finally felt relieved and decisively retreated from the team.
His meaning was very obvious, and he was obviously telling everyone with his actions that he could withdraw from this group, so that they could leave peacefully without being dragged down by him. And the woman who was walking with him in the crowd suddenly suddenly
His eyes were red and tears kept falling. He tried to rush out of the crowd several times, but was stopped by his companions.
Perhaps infected by the man's behavior, seven or eight more people with crow slave marks on their foreheads in the crowd withdrew from the crowd at this time.
They said goodbye to their companions and came to the man's side.
After doing this, everyone once again focused their attention on Ziyu.
Ziyu was also a little dazed. She probably didn't expect that these guys could go so far for each other.
In her opinion, most of this group of crow slaves are bandits in Taixuan Mountain.
And such a person should be the kind of person who is full of evildoers with countless blood stained on his hands.
They should be selfish and be capable of doing anything evil for their own sake.
The scene in front of her was obviously beyond her expectation, and she frowned.
"Take them with you, we are almost at the bottom of the mountain..." Chu Zhaozhao couldn't bear it after all, and looked at Zi Yuyan and said.
"We will separate from them when we go to the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, we will decide whether we are dead or alive. Let them stay here. There is really only one way to die."
There was a hint of prayer in Chu Zhaozhao's tone.
Ziyu frowned again, then waved her hand and said: "Huh, if you want to be a good person, then be a good person, but if something goes wrong, don't blame me for not warning you!"
After Ziyu said this, she sheathed her sword. She seemed a little annoyed and walked forward.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned at this moment, but the next moment, she smiled.
She knew that Ziyu, a girl, had always been like this, with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
She hurriedly looked at the crow slaves and said: "Let's go, follow closely. When we reach the bottom of the mountain soon, you will have hope of survival."
The crow slaves were stunned when they heard this, and they obviously couldn't believe what they heard.
Cao Shun, who was following Chu Zhaozhao, was a crow slave, so naturally he felt closer to these fellow crow slaves. While holding on to Huang Quxiang beside him, he hurriedly moved toward the dazed crow slaves.
They signaled: "Why are you still standing there? Thank this girl quickly?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly woke up from a dream, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted excitedly: "Thank you, girl..."
Chu Zhaozhao had never seen such a posture before. He hurriedly reached out to help everyone and said: "Get up quickly and hurry up. If you leave here a moment earlier, you will have more chance of survival."
Everyone was naturally grateful to Chu Zhaozhao at this moment. After hearing this, everyone did not dare to disobey and stood up one after another at this time.
…
"Can this fruit save him?" Sanniang picked up the green fruit on the ground and looked at the black panther in front of her with a strange expression.
"Roar!" The black panther roared, as if in response, but when it came out, it seemed to remember the terrifying aura surrounding the woman just now. It immediately stopped its roar and lowered its voice: "Woo-hoo."
When Sanniang saw this, her eyes towards Black Panther suddenly became more and more strange.
This guy actually understood what he said?
She doubtfully raised the green fruit to her eyes and looked at it intently.
This green fruit is emerald green and crystal clear.
It does not seem like a common wild fruit in Taixuan Mountain.
There was a faint fragrance overflowing from the green fruit. Sanniang took a gentle sniff and felt her mouth watering.
But although this thing looked a bit extraordinary, it was brought by wild beasts after all. Its origin was unknown, and she did not dare to use it on Chu Qingxiao casually.
While Sanniang was hesitating, Chu Qingxiao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a violent cough. As he coughed, blood continued to flow from his mouth.
Sanniang's heart tightened, and she hurriedly squatted down next to Chu Qingxiao, reaching out to explore the injuries in Chu Qingxiao's body.
The condition of his internal organs became worse and worse, and the meridians in his body began to show signs of collapse. The blood and energy flowed backwards, rampaging through his body like a bull.
Sanniang was so anxious that she gritted her teeth, grabbed the green fruit on the side, and handed it to Chu Qingxiao's lips.
But Chu Qingxiao was already on his deathbed at this moment. He consciously wanted to open his mouth, but he couldn't find the strength.
Seeing this, Sanniang didn't have time to think too much. She put the green fruit to her mouth and bit it into pieces. Then she lowered her head and placed her lips on his lips, and put the bitten fruit slices into Chu Qingxiao's mouth.
Chu Qingxiao seemed to feel something. He chewed the fruit slices in his mouth slowly for a while, and then his throat wriggled hard, and the fruit pulp was swallowed by him at this moment.
At this moment, Sanniang felt that Chu Qingxiao's breathing, which was already extremely thin, became obviously stronger at this moment.
Sanniang was overjoyed. Knowing that the green fruit was useful, Sanniang no longer hesitated and hurriedly bit the green fruit in her hand into pieces again and delivered them piece by piece into Chu Qingxiao's mouth.
This was repeated several times. When Chu Qingxiao finished eating the green fruit, Chu Qingxiao's face was obviously much rosier, and his breathing on the tip of his nose became clear and audible. Sanniang reached out to explore the injuries in his body, and was surprised to find that he
The injuries in the internal organs are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye...
"This..." Sanniang had a look of surprise on her face. She had clearly felt how serious Chu Qingxiao's injury was. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as one or two more moments of delay, her life would be in danger. But
After taking this seemingly ordinary green fruit, Chu Qingxiao's injuries were greatly relieved.
Even the Gu insects under the witch, who had been regarded as a sacred object by Sanniang before, were not worth mentioning compared with them.
"Is there more?" She turned to look at the black panther and asked.
The black panther made a purring sound from its mouth, and the body lying on the ground stood up. It swung its tail, turned around and walked deeper into the cave.
Sanniang saw this and hurriedly followed her. After passing through a not-so-long passage, the black panther in front stopped and called to Sanniang several times.
Sanniang looked forward intently, and saw that the entrance of the cave in front of her suddenly became wider, and a pit more than ten feet deep appeared in front of her eyes. In the pit, a kind of crawling crawled on the edge of the cave wall.
The vines of a plant that Sanniang had never known were densely packed with small green fruits.
After being stunned for a short time, Sanniang's face became even more happy. With these fruits, she could quickly make Chu Qingxiao recover.
But at the stall where she was secretly happy, the black panther jumped onto the bulge on the cliff not far away. It had obviously been here many times, jumping back and forth and moving from there with ease.
He took out seven or eight green fruits from the vines on the rock wall and held them in his mouth, then jumped back to Sanniang.
It spit out the green fruits one by one, then looked up at Sanniang, with a look of acknowledgment on her face.
"Thank you." Sanniang said.
Hearing this, the Black Panther seemed to be even more happy. At this moment, he turned around and jumped onto the platform, and retrieved about ten green fruits for Sanniang before stopping.
Seeing the green fruits in front of her piled up into a hill, Sanniang quickly stopped the black panther.
"Enough. These are all your things. We were forced to escape here just now. These fruits are enough to save your life. You should keep the rest for yourself." Sanniang has always been kind-hearted.
, never greedy.
The Black Panther blinked, not quite understanding what Sanniang said, but he understood that the other party didn't seem to need any more green berries, so he stopped and squatted on the spot, looking at Sanniang with a flattering look on his face.
Chu Qingxiao was no longer seriously injured, and Sanniang's mood was a little better. She reached out and touched the Black Panther's head, and then thought of something again. She looked at the Black Panther and said: "You have saved my life, what should I do?"
Thank you?"
The black panther tilted his head, looking confused.
Sanniang was also in a bit of a dilemma, after all, she didn't seem to have anything valuable on her.
"I think you seem to have some spirituality. To be able to stay in Xiyuan Peak for such a long time without holding back the bandits from Ghost Crow Village is to find out. You are extremely smart. If not, I will give you a ray of divinity."
Sanniang said this, pointing one hand toward the Black Panther's eyebrows, and a golden thing poured into the Black Panther's body.
The black panther's eyes suddenly became clearer at that time...
Divinity, in a sense, is a rarer thing than divine marrow. Even the divinity contained in the divine marrow that the alien gods can produce is extremely rare.
It was also Sanniang who became the Divine Pillar. She inherited some of the divinity left in the Divine Pillar, and she was able to differentiate and give it to the Black Panther at this moment.
But probably only Sanniang can do this. Even after experiencing so many hardships, her kindness engraved in her bones has never changed. When others help her, she naturally wants to give the most precious thing as a thank you.
Etiquette, this is probably the simplest and purest logic in her heart.
…
Chu Zhaozhao and a group of people walked forward in the night.
They experienced three or four more rounds of bandits from Guiya Village who were guarding the mountain road.
The crow slaves were probably trying to thank Chu Zhaozhao for his help, or just to make themselves appear less useless and thus abandoned. In the following encounters, they took the initiative to help Ziyu fight.
Especially those who have the Crow Slave Seal are the most brave. Although Ziyu's cultivation is extraordinary, there will still be some troubles from time to time when there are many enemies. With the help of the Crow Slave, Chu Zhaozhao can hand over Yue Jian.
After being looked after by the Crow Slave, he could also join the battlefield. Ziyu's pressure was relieved a lot, and he could break through the encirclement much faster.
After clearing out another group of bandits from Ghost Crow Village, everyone had arrived near the bottom of the mountain.
Chu Zhaozhao looked happy, took the moon view from the hands of a female crow slave, and held it on his shoulder.
"The mountain road will be much easier to walk when we reach the bottom of the mountain. The villagers of Cangying Village are waiting for us in front. As long as we reach Cangzhou, we will be safe. Qingxiao has arranged the rest." Chu Zhaozhao looked to his side.
Tsukimi said at that time.
Yue Jian nodded, his expression still a little weak, and whispered: "Thank you..."
Just as Chu Zhaozhao was about to respond, Huang Quxiang walked over. About half a quarter of an hour ago, Huang Quxiang no longer needed Cao Shun's support. The injuries in his body had recovered a little, and he even helped everyone kill him.
Three or four bandits from Ghost Crow Village.
"What about these people?" Huang Quxiang asked in a low voice.
Chu Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, looking a little confused.
"Do you think they will really leave after they reach the foot of the mountain?" Huang Quxiang asked in a low voice, with a serious look on his face.
Chu Zhaozhao reacted and looked at the crow slaves around her. They were obviously still immersed in their victory. Everyone's eyebrows were filled with joy, and they obviously felt that they finally had hope of living.
"Nowadays, every village in Taixuan Mountain is in danger. As long as Ghost Crow Village is not destroyed, no matter which village they go to, no one will dare to take in these crow slaves who escaped from Ghost Crow Village. Their only choice is to follow them.
us."
"Here you felt soft-hearted and took them to the bottom of the mountain. But if they still follow you at the bottom of the mountain, can you be strong enough to drive them away?"
"And if you can't, they will follow you all the way. Once you get to the gathering place of Goshawk Village and the people from Ghost Crow Village kill you, you will kill more people."
Huang Quxiang's voice was dull, and his tone when he said this was a bit unkind.
When Chu Zhaozhao heard this, her expression also changed. She had only thought about saving these crow slaves before, but did not think about the consequences. Now when she heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and her expression was ugly.
"You can save them now, so they regard you as their savior. They flatter you everywhere and serve you carefully. You seem harmless to humans and animals. But if the Ghost Crow Village is attacked, they will abandon you in an instant and run away without a trace in order to escape.
There is no trace, but the trouble remains." Huang Quxiang said this, his eyebrows darkened, as if he had experienced such a thing.
"I only saved them because I wanted to save them, and I didn't expect them to do anything for me!" Chu Zhaozhao frowned, and after saying this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, I will let them leave as soon as we get to the mountain road.
Go ahead and never give them a chance to get entangled."
"I am not so foolish as to put the cart before the horse, and I will not harm your Commander Huang's life because of this!"
Huang Quxiang smiled when he heard this: "You and Chu Qingxiao saved my life. If you want me to die, I won't even blink. I just want to use my experience to tell you, sometimes the price of kindness
It’s much heavier than you think.”
After Huang Quxiang said these words, he turned around and walked to the front of the team with his sword in hand. He had no intention of arguing with Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao frowned and looked at the other person's leaving figure, feeling a little gloomy.
"It seems that Commander Huang had to flee into Taixuan Mountain because he was framed before, and fell into the trap of a bandit. Therefore, he acted more cautiously. You...don't care." Yue Jian beside him said softly at this time.
After hearing this, Chu Zhaozhao glanced sideways at her, then shook his head and said: "It's okay, what he said is not unreasonable."
After saying this, Chu Zhaozhao said no more, supported Yue Jian and continued to move forward with the large army.
But this time they did not encounter any obstacles and arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.
After a brief period of excitement, many crow slaves obviously realized their embarrassing situation.
They almost subconsciously looked at Chu Zhaozhao at this moment, with a look of prayer flashing in their eyes, and they all seemed hesitant to speak.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious. I hope Chu Zhaozhao can take them on another journey.
Ziyu's hands were wrapped around the long sword, watching the scene with great interest, as if expecting how Chu Zhaozhao would handle it.
Huang Quxiang also narrowed his eyes. Cao Shun, who was following him, lowered his head. He wanted to help these crow slaves by saying a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to speak. After all, he was not among the crowd.
A member of the group was brought along just because of a promise from Chu Qingxiao. After all, he did not have the courage to let himself lose the chance of survival for the sake of some compassion in his heart.
Chu Zhaozhao lowered her head in the expectant gazes of everyone. She was silent for a while, and finally raised her head to look at everyone and said: "Everyone, we meet each other in the mountains and rivers, and people have their own paths. It is fate that we are on the same journey."
"Now that the fate is over, let's each go to the opposite side of the road!"
Although Chu Zhaozhao had made the rules clear at the beginning, everyone still had some hopes.
When Chu Zhaozhao said these words, everyone's faces suddenly darkened.
Some people were unwilling to say anything and wanted to pray, but before the words came out, they heard a clang sound, and Chu Zhaozhao took action with the long sword behind his back, looking at everyone with a stern expression.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that there was no room for turning around. They all lowered their heads, and no one dared to say anything more.
Chu Zhaozhao couldn't help but tremble in her heart. She knew that in this case, only a handful of these people would survive. Even if she had made up her mind, she still couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable.
But she still suppressed the unbearable feeling, turned her head, looked at Ziyu and said, "Let's go."
"It's better not to save him. He's really screwed up." Ziyu muttered, then shrugged her shoulders and started to take a step forward.
thump.
But at this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from above the head, piercing the night.
Everyone was extremely vigilant and looked up one after another, only to see several figures with wings on their backs in the night, already above their heads, looking at them coldly with scarlet eyes.
On the mountain road not far away, a large group of bandits from Ghost Crow Village were quickly approaching.
