A few people rested here for a day. The next day, Xie Zhe and the others agreed to help Lord Maoyue and search for the remains of Lord Ruyue in this area. They originally thought that with the help of Kong Lingbei and his men, the birds, here
It’s almost certain that there’s nothing there. But in dark and humid places like these, birds may still
There was really no way to find out. Lord Maoyue thought about it and agreed to accept their help. However, the two parties agreed that they would only look for this last day. After all, this was the time limit set by Lord Maoyue and Kong Lingbei. Any longer would delay other tasks.
As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and if there are four more people to help, there will finally be more hope.
"Why don't you, Mr. Kong Ling, rest here?" Han Chang said to him, "You have worked hard these days."
"I don't care." Kong Lingbei spread his hands and shrugged slightly.
Maoyuejun looked at him, and then swept her eyes from the other four people. Then, she said to Kong Lingbei:
"You'd better let them go."
Kong Lingbei stiffened, quickly frowned, and said to Lord Maoyue in a somewhat stern voice:
"But what should you do? Although your injuries have healed, who knows what problems you will encounter? Even when you were patrolling in the forest before, I was always with you, so nothing would happen. Last time, wasn't it with that person?
The one named Taki is separated, so trouble comes to your door? You have worked hard these past few days, and you don’t have to go out and work hard anymore, I will just accompany you."
Wenying and Han Zhang looked at each other. They could tell from their words that Kong Lingbei probably didn't want to go with them because he wanted to be lazy, but he sincerely hoped that Mr. Maoyue wouldn't have to work too hard.
"No need, right?" Wenying scratched her head and said to Lord Maoyue, "The four of us are enough. Or is there some dangerous place in this forest area that we don't know about that needs Master Kong Ling to come to?"
take care of?"
Lord Mao Yue waved his hand gently to Wenying, and said to Kong Lingbei in a friendly voice:
"Before I got acquainted with him, I always acted alone. What's more, he didn't help me all the time. In the impermanence of the six realms, I can't be called a brave person, but I am not afraid of pain.
.I just... try to avoid death. The area is very safe, there is no dangerous atmosphere, just go with them. They are more likely to get into trouble than me."
Hearing the last sentence, Kong Lingbei seemed to understand it. At the same time, Jiaomo, who had been silent all the time, woke up from a dream. She looked at Maoyuejun and found that the other party had also been watching her. After their private conversation yesterday,
Naturally, he was chased by his friends
After asking some questions, Jiao Mo said that Lord Maoyue told her some things about his hometown - that is, the distant deep sea. Jiao Mo said that these things were not important to them, so there was no need to expand on them.
He said. Others did not ask any more questions.
Thinking of what Mr. Uoyue said to him yesterday, he turned to a few people and said:
"Otherwise, let's let Mr. Kong Ling come with us. Although there are four of us, we shouldn't really be divided into four directions after all...it's still too dangerous. If Mr. Kong Ling is willing to lead us, tell us
Wherever it is not safe, it is also a good thing.”
Kong Lingbei listened to Mao Yuejun's words and went down the bright ladder. Mao Yuejun stayed in the courtyard, and the others went back to the forest with him. The courtyard was very close to the forest, and it only took two days to walk there.
For a quarter of an hour, Kong Lingbei told them some things they should pay attention to. In summary... there was actually nothing to pay attention to.
Coming to the forest, Han Zhang, who has the keenest sense of smell, no longer detects any smell that does not belong here. There seems to be only one piece of Lord Ruyue's remains. The rest were either picked up by Kong Lingbei a long time ago or have already fallen into the belly of the beast. Han Zhang
Zhang Wenying acted together, while Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo were accompanied by Kong Lingbei in their search.
"lady……"
Walking normally on the path in the forest, Xie Zhe suddenly called out Jiao Mo. She turned her head and asked:
"What's the matter Mr. Xie?"
"Although I asked you last night,... Utsuki-kun, did you really only tell you about your hometown?"
"Well... there are some other things." Jiao Mo pursed his lips and smiled, "But it's not anything important. Don't worry, is there anything Uoyue-kun that deserves to be hidden from you?"
Xie Zhe hesitated: "Really... It's just that I think Lord Maoyue's attitude is a little different today." After that, he looked at Kong Lingbei who was leading the way. He was quiet all the way, only in key places.
He pointed the way and performed his duties conscientiously. Xie Zhe asked him again: "Does Mr. Kong Ling know anything?"
"How would I know." He didn't look back, "That's Mr. Uzuki's own business."
"Well..."
Originally, they thought that today would go by like this. They would probably get nothing in the end. They would have a good night's rest and set off early the next day to the nearest town. No need to ask where they were going, since the nearby towns only had so much information.
One place, and the general direction is towards Feiyue City.
But the accident happened.
This woodland is relatively remote and located at the edge of human activity. However, Kong Lingbei said that it is normal to see people. Because the timber resources here are extremely rich, woodcutters often come in groups; there are also fruit farmers here.
After planting fruit trees, they would come to check on them from time to time. But the person who showed up this time did not have an ax for felling or pruning shears.
There are only bright knives and swords.
There were about a dozen people in this group, all lurking in the bushes. For a moment, a gust of wind blew in his face, making Xie Zhe feel a little uncomfortable. This discomfort was transmitted by the sword on his waist - Fengyun Zhan.
When his hand accidentally touched the hilt of the sword, this feeling that could be called murderous aura spread to him.
Could it be that he was worrying too much? After just thinking about it, the hidden killers jumped up. Kong Lingbei seemed to have noticed it long ago and was not surprised. He turned around calmly and coolly, and blocked the way with his unfolded cloak.
He caught the hidden weapon flying towards him.
He had predicted the moves of this group of criminals and was able to parry them with ease. Someone launched an attack on the two people behind him. Before Jiao Mo could take action, Xie Che drew his sword to deal with it. He clearly felt that these killers were just a mob, and some
It's just the skill of a three-legged cat.
A few people took them away easily. Kong Lingbei was indeed a monster, and he didn't do anything deliberately. He killed three or four people, all of them with a feather in their throat.
Two of them fainted, and the rest ran away. From the beginning to the end, it was never Jiaomo's turn to take action. But this is also a good thing - in every sense.
Xie Zhe picked up a person's collar. He was still breathing, but couldn't respond. Kong Lingbei said:
"Oh, I knew you would survive, so I didn't have to worry about anything."
"You... forget it, let's try to see if we can ask anything. It's so baffling that I was attacked like this."
"Although their martial arts skills are not very good, they did a good job of covering up. They even used medicine to cover up their breath. However, they still showed their flaws and let me detect them early. It seems that the people who hired them know better, but they are just not good at it.
Not in place.”
Jiao Mo looked at the fainted killer and said hesitantly: "Why...why did they attack us? Is it really just a robbery?"
That's true. Kong Lingbei always looked gorgeous wherever he went, so it was really difficult for people not to harbor evil thoughts. However, their purpose of ambush here couldn't be so simple. Rather than in this inaccessible forest,
It would be better to go to a nearby town and rob houses to make more money if you just stay there. Thinking like this, you can solidify the idea that someone is hiring you.
"It's easy to talk. Take these two people back. I have plenty of ways to make them talk."
"Don't do that." Xie Zhe stopped him, "Mr. Maoyue won't let you do that either."
"...Tsk."
When it comes to Mr. Uoyue, he restrains himself a lot. Indeed, the method of extracting confessions is really not suitable for people like them.
"I think...I know the reason." Jiao Mo said.
Kong Lingbei curled his lips, Xie Zhe looked at her seriously and asked: "Madam, what do you have in mind?"
"No, this is what Uoyuki-kun reminded me." She said hesitantly, "She told me that nowadays there are rumors spreading everywhere in the world that 'there are sharks living on land'. It can't be said to be rumors, it's the truth.
You know of course. I have never deliberately concealed my identity. If someone I trust asks, I will admit it frankly. To this day, I have never encountered any crisis. But now the news has completely spread, and some people even
Draw my face clearly."
"And the world is vigorously promoting the value of the sharks." Kong Lingbei continued her words, "the sharks' tears, the sharks' oil, the sharks' blood, the sharks' flesh... I won't say more, for fear of irritating you.
So when you take action on your own, be more careful, especially protect this guest from the deep sea."
Xie Zhe found it really unbelievable. He opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief:
"Who is doing this? It must be premeditated?"
"Let me ask you." Kong Lingbei said, "Who else can I ask?"
In fact, Xie Zhe was really just sighing. When he asked, some answers had already emerged in his mind.
Lies - lies, there is no point. It can only be him, there is no other possibility. He knows the value of the sharks, has fought with them, and even said some meaningful and offensive words. What's more, he also treats the sharks
A truly inhumane study was conducted.
Jiao Mo knew who Xie Ze was thinking of. Her emotions were not intense, but it was reasonable to feel displeased. She frowned and said, "Why did that person do that? Just to... give us some trouble?
"
"It's not impossible. He can do all kinds of disgusting things." Xie Zhe's words were not polite, "He knows that we are an obstacle, not to mention... I still have scars left by resentment on my legs.
Although I don’t know how far the tracking of Resentful Eclipse can go, he can spread out our general location with little effort. In this way, we will have many difficulties along the way."
"this……"
"I have something to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not - it doesn't sound good to say it, but you must know that I have no intention of blaming you. Even if Han Shang and Wenying were here, they would agree with my idea."
Jiao Mo couldn't say anything for a long time. Her expression was a little confused and a little unbelievable. Kong Lingbei always spoke directly. He said clearly to Jiao Mo:
"You should choose a path that is completely opposite to Mr. Xie and the others. In this way, those rabble will only cause trouble to Mr. Xie and the others. You don't have to feel too guilty. After all, they did it of their own free will.
Made.”
"That's right. We are destined to meet each other. I shouldn't let you go through fire and water."
"I hurt you..."
Jiao Mo showed a bleak expression. Xie Zhe was afraid that she would think so, so he hurriedly explained:
"That's not the intention. Even if many people come to our door in the future, they will find nothing in the end. Of course we can deal with this little thing. Don't forget, we were enemies of the evil god - we fought against Kanna-kun.
The evil god. But... what I am worried about is, where can you hide safely alone? We must all have doubts. In this way, we will discuss it after we meet Han Shang and the others. What do you think?
