After a while, the Wu family knights rushed to the edge of the woods.
The leader was a middle-aged man with triangular eyes, holding a sandalwood box in his hand. Inside was a pink beetle-like insect, which was vibrating its wings and humming.
"They did come here." The crowd divided, and a man in his forties walked out from behind. After looking at the gray carriage and two black horses abandoned on the spot, he said with a sneer.
It was Wu Tong, the third eldest son of the Wu family.
"In this case, what are you waiting for? Let's chase them quickly. We must not let them run away." The arrogant young man behind the man in the brocade robe heard this and said with great joy.
"Hehe, don't worry, the two of them have stayed in the car for such a long time, and they have also been infected with the scent of Thousand Miles of Fragrance. It can last for at least a whole night. After such a long time, are you afraid that you won't be able to catch a mere martial arts disciple!
You two stay and look after the horses with Hua'er, and the others will follow me in." Wu Tong chuckled, then pointed at his two men and ordered.
When the two people heard this, they immediately bowed and agreed.
Others drew various weapons and swarmed into the woods following the man holding the wooden box.
Although these knights are all just martial arts disciples, they are all agile and have obviously good martial arts skills.
After Wu Tong warned the arrogant boy a few more words, he walked into the darkness calmly.
…
Half an hour later, deep in the woods.
Shi Mu was still running in the forest with the girl in his arms. His outer clothes had been torn by branches and vines, and there were even dense blood stains on his arms and legs.
Shi Mu didn't care about this at all. Instead, every time he ran a certain distance, he suddenly turned a corner and ran in another direction.
The girl curled up most of her body in Shi Mu's arms, hugged the boy's neck with both hands, and said nothing with a blush on her face.
In the hazy night, with the two in such close contact, the girl's soft body and the faint fragrance exuded an indescribable power of temptation.
However, at this time, Shi Mu didn't care about the beauty in front of him at all. He just relied on his extraordinary eyesight to desperately look for some good places to walk, moving back and forth like a leopard.
Suddenly, he turned around and hid behind a big tree. After taking a deep breath, he tilted his head slightly and listened to something.
Zhong Xiu raised her head in his arms and stared at Shi Mu's solemn face with slightly glowing eyes. She seemed a little crazy for a moment.
As a result, only a short while later, there were some noisy footsteps coming from behind, and there were even some faint shouts and curses mixed in.
Shi Mu's expression changed, he turned around without saying a word, hugged the girl again and ran wildly.
"As expected. They should have some kind of special tracking method, otherwise they wouldn't be able to catch up with us so accurately every time in the woods. Brother Shi, let me go and run for your life. Without me being a drag, you can
Maybe there is still a chance to escape." When Zhong Xiu heard these voices, he suddenly woke up and said in a low voice.
"Miss Zhong, there is no need to say these words. Although Shi Mu is not a hero, he would never abandon women and children. Besides, before Uncle Zhong died, he personally entrusted you to me." Shi Mu said nothing.
He replied hesitantly.
"But……"
"It's nothing! With my strength and stamina, holding you is not a big burden. Even if I run for a whole night, there will be no problem. I would like to see if these pursuers can also have such stamina.
Follow me." Shi Mu said calmly.
"Okay, I won't say any more. At worst, little sister and Brother Shi will live and die together."
When the girl heard this, her beautiful eyes looking at Shi Mu's face flickered for a few times, and then she suddenly said softly, and her arms around his neck suddenly became a little tighter.
At this time, Shi Mu didn't care to listen to the words of the woman in his arms, and his running footsteps suddenly stopped.
The trees in front suddenly became sparse, and a large expanse of grassland could be vaguely seen in the distance.
After running for a while, he rushed to the edge of the woods.
It is obviously too late to change direction at this time.
When Zhong Xiu saw this scene, his heart was surprisingly calm, and he didn't even have the slightest hint of fear.
"It seems that I can't do anything this time. Miss Zhong, hold on to me first!"
Shi Mu said to the girl in his arms in a low voice with a gloomy face.,
"Um"
The girl responded with a soft nasal voice.
Shi Mu then moved and rushed to the foot of a big tree. With a shake of his arms, he quickly led the girl to a tree branch three to four feet high like an ape.
After he asked the girl to hug the branch tightly, he quickly ordered:
"Wait for me here. If I can defeat the pursuers, I will naturally come to pick you up."
As soon as he said this, Shi Mu jumped down from the tree with a "whoosh" sound, and rushed towards the depths of the woods from which he had come out earlier.
Zhong Xiu on the branch of a tree, with most of her delicate body leaning against the branch, stared blankly at the place where Shi Mu disappeared in the distance, her face was extremely pale, and the green birthmark on her forehead seemed vague in the night, giving people an indescribable feeling.
The feeling of beauty.
…
Shi Mu just rushed backwards for a long distance, narrowed his eyes, and suddenly knelt down behind a tall bush. He grabbed his arm with his backhand and took off the huge purple bow from behind.
Several hundred feet ahead, there were more than ten figures running towards his location.
Naturally, these Wu family knights never expected that someone could clearly see their situation from hundreds of feet away in such a dark night, and instead they were desperately approaching here.
After more than an hour of persistent pursuit in the woods, most of these Wu family knights were as embarrassed and disheveled as Shi Mu, and some of them even began to pant.
When Shi Mu saw this, he secretly sighed that it was a pity.
If he hadn't been chased to the edge of the woods, he would have been able to get rid of most of his pursuers as long as he ran a little longer.
With this thought in his mind, he pulled out a long feather arrow from the leather pouch on his back with a "swish" sound in his hand, and placed it on the bow very skillfully.
"The smelling insects reacted violently again. They are not far ahead." After a moment, someone exclaimed. The Wu family, which was running wildly, suddenly slowed down.
But just as another somewhat dissatisfied voice rang out:
"Are you reacting again? Hu Laoer, did you make a mistake? Why is it that every time we say that the kid is in front, we chase him but there is no sign of him. If we keep running like this, I'm afraid our brothers won't be able to hold on anymore."
"Hmph, even if we all make mistakes, the scent bug will not be wrong either. The reason why we never caught up with that kid was because he was too slippery and your movements were too slow. But it seems that this time he should
I can't run anymore, so just go up and get someone. It's best to get the matter settled before Mr. Tong comes. Otherwise, I'm afraid Mr. Tong will get angry after chasing for so long this time." Holding the wooden box.
The man with triangular eyes replied rudely.
