Chapter seven hundred and sixty second parting ways
Although it snowed heavily, the snow tide that Zhang Zhang was worried about has not yet arrived. According to Huang Qitai, the occurrence of snow tide is usually accompanied by the blood moon in the sky. He traveled all over the Netherworld and never experienced a snow tide. Of course, he didn't want to.
experience.
The flying snow as big as goose feathers blocked their sight. Huang Qitai suggested that they did not need to rush on their way. After all, the snowstorm had a tendency to gradually intensify, and there were still a few days until the delivery date. There was no need to rush in the wind and snow.
.
Huang Qitai expressed his thoughts and was naturally recognized by Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi did not expect that this proposal would be fiercely opposed by the team leader Huang Zhulang.
Huang Zhulang said: "Mr. Zhang, it's not that we disagree with your opinion. It's just that I don't know how long this snowstorm will last. We are not far from Crystal City. My brothers and I have discussed it. No matter how hard it is today, we must
We’ll arrive at Crystal City in one go, and we’ll have a good rest once we’re in the city. We’ll feel at ease after completing the mission, don’t you think?”
Huang Qitai said: "But in such a heavy snowstorm, the caravan is traveling against the wind. Although the distance is not far, it will take about twice as long as usual, not to mention the risks it may encounter on the way."
"So what, we have to get to Crystal City no matter what today." Perhaps because the end was in sight, Huang Zhulang became much tougher when he spoke.
Zhang Chi was a little unhappy. Huang Zhulang was so stubborn. When he was in the Lingxiao Mountains, he insisted on forcing his way through the mountain pass. If he and Cao Chengguang hadn't protected him along the way, their business group would never have had the chance to come.
Crystal City, now seeing victory in sight, doesn't even listen to its own opinions.
Huang Feixue said: "Young Master is also thinking about the caravan, how can you be so stubborn?"
Huang Zhulang pressed his right fist against his chest and bowed to Zhang Chi: "Master Zhang, we don't mean to contradict you, but we really can't afford to delay." He still retained some respect for Zhang Chi, after all, this
Zhang Chi saved them many times along the way.
Zhang Chi secretly thought, what does "can't afford to delay" mean? He obviously has plenty of time, but this Huang Zhulang is weird, Zhang Chi said deliberately: "You don't have to apologize to me, I am not from your caravan, just because I agreed to my sworn sister, so
I just escorted you to Crystal City. After a long journey, you have to say goodbye. Since you insist on going your own way, let's just say goodbye." He wanted to see if Huang Zhulang and others would dare to stick to their own opinions without his own protection and choose
Leave.
Huang Zhulang said: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for escorting me all the way. This place is not far from Crystal City, so I won't trouble you any more."
Immortal Zhang was really impressed by this guy, and he was able to show off his face. Since Crystal City was so close, he thought that with their own ability, there would be no problem, so Zhang Chi and the others naturally became dispensable.
Huang Qitai listened, with a helpless expression on his face.
Zhang Chi nodded. That was all he had to say, and there was no need to spend energy to help. He signaled Lightning to stop.
Cao Chengguang was originally at the front of the team. When he heard that Zhang Chi had a disagreement with the caravan, he hurried over to see what was going on and find out the reason. He couldn't help but cursed: "Mader, it's so obvious that the bird is hiding behind the scenes."
Zhang Chi smiled and told Cao Chengguang not to say anything more. They watched the caravan continue to move forward and soon disappeared in the wind and snow.
Cao Chengguang cursed: "What a fool, I have disliked Huang Zhulang since early in the morning. If we hadn't protected him, my grandson would have died on the way."
Zhang Chi said: "Maybe he really has something to hide." He turned over and got off Lightning's back.
Cao Chengguang said: "What? You're not going to Crystal City?" He couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart. He was originally planning to go to Crystal City to have a good time.
Zhang Chi said: "Crystal City is in ruins. Even if it is rebuilt, it cannot be a prosperous place. There is no good thing like you think."
Cao Chengguang glanced at Huang Feixue and complained: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps."
Zhang Chi said: "I didn't say not to go, but with such a heavy wind and snow, it would be pointless for us to continue walking forward."
Huang Feixue came over and said, "Sir, do we really not care about them?"
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "It's not that we don't care about them, it's that they don't want to go with us." He was going to rest where he was and asked Huang Feixue to arrange for the golden eagle to follow the caravan. He had to do things from beginning to end, although he was also unhappy with Huang Zhulang's group.
, but after all, I agreed to Huang Feihong and couldn't give up halfway. Of course, according to Huang Qitai, there are usually no thieves here near Crystal City except for wind and snow.
A few people set up camp in a sheltered area. As Huang Qitai said, the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier.
Cao Chengguang was still angry and cursed: "Who is Huang Zhulang? He thinks we are no longer needed? Why don't we have an avalanche and bury them all?"
Zhang Chi asked Lao Cao to leave a message, and several people entered the camp to escape the wind and snow. About two hours later, the golden eagle came back. After communicating with it, Huang Feixue exclaimed: "Sir, it's not good, the caravan encountered
Trouble."
Zhang Chi was shocked when he heard this. The caravan had just left and encountered trouble.
Cao Chengguang sneered and said: "What do you care about them? They have to leave on their own, and they are responsible for whether they live or die."
Zhang Chi said: "Let's go, catch up and have a look. I hope I can make it in time."
Several people rode the wolf of the wind, led by the golden eagle, and rushed to the place where the accident happened. Braving the oncoming blizzard, Cao Chengguang was so angry that he couldn't help cursing, but when he opened his mouth, cold wind poured in, and soon he was too lazy to do so.
Speak.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the scene of the accident, only to see corpses scattered everywhere on the snowy field. A three-headed eagle was pecking at a horse that had been torn into two pieces not far away. Zong Jiupeng was sitting on the carriage.
Smoking dry cigarettes.
Zhang Chi said angrily: "Mr. Zong, what do you mean?"
Zong Jiupeng blew out a puff of thick smoke and said, "Don't ask me, I just came here, and things here have nothing to do with me."
Zhang Chi and others came to check separately and found that nine of the twelve carriages were missing, and the remaining three were also seriously damaged.
Zhang Chi found the dying Huang Zhulang under an overturned carriage. When Huang Zhulang saw Zhang Chi, he said with shame: "I'm sorry... Mr. Zhang... I was wrong..."
Zhang Chi didn't want to listen to his apology. He grabbed Huang Zhulang's shoulders and said, "Who did this?"
Huang Zhulang said: "There's someone in the carriage... there's someone..." He died before he could finish his words.
Zhang Chi was a little strange. He didn't understand what he meant. What does it mean that there is someone in the carriage? His eyes turned to Zong Jiupeng, who said: "I was waiting for you outside the gate of Crystal City, but you never came, so I came here."
While searching, I saw something happened here, and I don’t know who killed them.”
Cao Chengguang said: "I knew you wouldn't admit it."
Zong Jiupeng Jiejie said with a smile: "I, Zong Jiupeng, act with integrity. If I did it, how could I not admit it? And why should I kill a mere caravan? No one will give me money."
At this time, Huang Feixue came to a crooked carriage. Metal containers were scattered on the ground beside the carriage. The containers contained what should be the focus of the caravan's escort - melanin.
Zhang Chi reminded her: "Feixue, stay away from those things."
At this time, one of the metal containers made a muffled sound, but the cork ejected because it could not withstand the internal pressure, and black blood mist spread from the mouth of the bottle.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
The corks were ejected one after another, and black blood enveloped Huang Feixue's body.
Zhang Chi saw that the situation was not good and quickly ran towards Huang Feixue. Zong Jiupeng let out a cry from his throat. The three-headed eagle closest to Huang Feixue spread its wings and flapped them vigorously. It was Zong Jiupeng who gave orders to it and flapped its wings to spread the melanin. Fan Huang Feixue away.
However, a strange scene happened. Although the strong wind generated by the three-headed vulture's flapping wings changed the shape of the blood mist formed by melanin, it did not scatter and disappear. Instead, it was immediately pulled by an invisible suction force, towards Huang Feixue's body gathered.
Huang Feixue let out a painful scream, and her body slowly rose above the snow. Dozens of smoke formed by melanin wrapped around her body like a rope, and was being rapidly absorbed by her.
Zong Jiupeng yelled: "Take her out of there quickly..."
Huang Feixue suddenly opened his eyes, and his beautiful eyes looked particularly terrifying because they were shrouded in two black clouds of smoke.
Zhang Chi was about to arrive in front of her, and Huang Feixue's body suddenly flew up. A black rope wrapped around the neck of the three-headed vulture, and the three-headed vulture let out a scream. When she looked again, Huang Feixue was already on the back of the three-headed vulture. Above, a three-headed eagle flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.
Zhang Chi made a pounce and missed Huang Feixue by a small margin.
Zong Jiupeng let out strange howls, trying to stop the three-headed vulture from flying away, but the three-headed vulture did not listen to his call at all and continued to fly higher and higher with Huang Feixue.
Zong Jiupeng has never encountered such a strange situation. The three-headed eagle he had trained since childhood actually refused to listen to his call and was controlled by Huang Feixue. Although Huang Feixue was also from the Baiyu tribe, her ability to control the beast was only Even if Zong Jiupeng found it unbelievable how it was possible to control such a ferocious bird as the three-headed eagle at the primary stage, the reality was reality and he could only watch the three-headed eagle fly away.
Zhang Chi couldn't stop Huang Feixue, looked at Zong Jiupeng and said: "Mr. Zong, call the bird back quickly."
Zong Jiupeng said angrily: "If it listens to my words, it won't fly far."
Cao Chengguang said aside: "It is your bird, how could it not obey your orders? You must have tricked the three-headed vulture into kidnapping Miss Huang."
Zong Jiupeng was too lazy to explain to Cao Chengguang. He chased the three-headed eagle with his eyes and saw a little golden light following the three-headed eagle flying away. His heart moved. That golden light should be Huang Feixue's golden eagle. He whispered: "Look at the direction. We are heading towards Crystal City."
Zhang Chi bent down and picked up the cylinder that had just emitted melanin. It was already empty. Thinking of the scene just now, it was a bit strange. It was not surprising that the cork popped open because the cylinder could not withstand the pressure inside. The strange thing was that Huang Feixue She is actually able to absorb melanin. She is a hybrid of the Black Moon clan and the Baiyu clan, but this does not mean that she has the ability to absorb melanin.
Zong Jiupeng said: "What you promised me..."
Zhang Chi nodded.
Zong Jiupeng asked: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Chi said: "Yes, the tattoo on her body is exactly the same as the one you gave me."
Zong Jiupeng was furious: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Chi said: "It's not too late to say it now."
Zong Jiupeng was so angry that he pointed at Zhang Chi's nose and said, "I didn't even have time to recognize her. You are really harmful to me." He was so angry that he took two steps back and forth and said, "Have you looked carefully?"
Zhang Chi nodded and looked carefully and clearly.
Zong Jiupeng said: "Is it here?" pointing at his own butt.
Zhang Chi nodded again. Zong Jiupeng was extremely annoyed and frowned. He suddenly remembered something: "No, we need to find her as soon as possible."
Zhang Chi said: "How do you know where she went?"
Zong Jiupeng said: "Wherever the black blood is, she will go. I finally know why that woman asked me to capture Feixue."
Only then did Zhang Chi find out that the person who entrusted Zong Jiupeng with the work was a woman.
At this time, a green eagle flew in the sky. It turned out that Zong Jiupeng summoned it to come over for him to ride. This green eagle was very large, and seemed to be bigger than the three-headed eagle that flew away just now.
Zong Jiupeng climbed onto Qing Diao's back, and Qing Diao took him up. Zong Jiupeng said, "Brother Zhang, look around. In five hours, we will meet at the west gate of Crystal City."
After Zong Jiupeng left, Cao Chengguang came over curiously and said with a bad smile: "Huang Feixue has a tattoo on his butt?"
Zhang Chi glared at him.
Cao Chengguang stuck out his tongue and said, "You young people are really good at playing."
Zhang Chi was too lazy to talk to this old gangster and asked Lightning to arrange for the Wind Wolf to search for Feixue's whereabouts. Although they all mobilized, they still found nothing. Remembering the agreement with Zong Jiupeng, he went to Crystal City.
Zhang Chi's mood was also affected to some extent. Although he was unhappy with Huang Zhulang's behavior, he followed the caravan all the way here, and when he arrived at Crystal City, something like this happened. If he had stopped Huang Zhulang at that time, maybe
Otherwise, this tragedy would not have happened. He was the one who decided not to go with the caravan, which means he indirectly killed so many people.
Huang Qitai noticed that Zhang Chi was in a bad mood and whispered: "My boss, there have been no robbers in this area in the past."
Zhang Chi said: "But someone still attacked the caravan."
Cao Chengguang said: "Do you remember what Huang Zhulang said before he died?"
After he reminded Zhang Chi, he recalled that it was true that Huang Zhulang said something before he died - there was someone in the carriage.
Isn't this nonsense? There is a driver on every carriage, but if you think about it carefully, Huang Zhulang shouldn't be so bored that he would say such things before he died.
Cao Chengguang said: "Did he mean that someone in the carriage attacked them?"
Zhang Chu's eyes lit up, and Cao Chengguang's analysis made sense. Who was this person hiding in the carriage? Did he get into the carriage on the way or follow him all the way from Storm City? If he had gotten on the carriage early in the morning, could he have
