Chapter 40 Chapter 40
Both Mo Jue and Xia Rong possess martial arts, so even when they can't see their fingers and there are many plants blocking them, their speed is extremely fast.
The two kept walking forward, and as the group of people approached, the system in Mo Jue's mind had already laid out the specific situation in the form of a plan, and naturally knew the other party's malicious intentions.
This forest is not big, and many people on the other side are very familiar with the terrain. Gradually, Xia Rong also saw the faint light of fire behind him.After marching and fighting for many years, I have a rough judgment on this situation in my heart.Can't help frowning, both of them have good skills, and Mo Jue can be said to be superb, but as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and a tiger is afraid of wolves.It can be seen in its current form.
"I found it, it's there!" With a sudden sound, the hearts of the two jumped, and they even quickened their pace.But the torches that slowly approached in an orderly manner let the two of them know that it might still be a step too late.
Since you can't hide, then stop and face it.As if they were connected with each other, the two stood back to back, watching out for the approaching torches, and the surroundings became brighter.
There are about 30 to [-] people, each with a torch in his hand and various weapons in the other.Looking at them, there seemed to be a green light in their eyes.Like a hungry beast seeing its prey.
prey?Mo Jue picked up his lips and sneered.
"Brother, it's these two brats!" Old Scar said with joy as he hurried forward to ask for credit.
The man with the wound on his face, that is, the boss, looked up and down at Mo Jue and the two of them. Seeing that they were both thin-skinned and fleshy, he couldn't help but start to imagine how delicious their meat would be. stand up.But suddenly he remembered what Lao Ba said about the two of them carrying a lot of dry food, and then said, "I heard that you two also brought a lot of food with you?"
Mo Jue and the two did not answer, if they said they would let them go if they kept the food, they would never believe this excuse.The other party's eyes were full of ferocity, obviously not as simple as an ordinary robber.Mo Jue has seen too many kinds of darkness when he was in the Federation, and with the help of the system, he can naturally see the malice and greed in the eyes of the other party at a glance, and Xia Rong is not bad. He has marched for many years and has his own A way of looking at people.
Besides, the two of them are not brats anymore.However, the other party obviously didn't bother to find any excuses.
"When we arrive at our brother's territory, you two also want us to do our best as landlords." The elder brother said, and then he winked at the brothers on both sides, and soon four people left towards Mo Jue and the other two. go.
The clothes of the two of them have long been untidy, but they still make people feel the unique aura and calmness of noble sons.Therefore, sending four people is just a consistent cautious style.Obviously, he still felt that he had overestimated the two noble gentlemen in front of him.
But is it really overrated?
The four of them walked towards Mo Jue in groups of two.But after walking three steps away from the two of them, he suddenly flew backwards and landed on other people.There was a cry of pain.
The elder brother's expression turned ferocious, and the big knife in his hand tightened reflexively.Others are also more vigilant.
"You two little brothers, why don't you give me some face?" He said threateningly.
Mo Jue and the others still ignored him as usual, but they didn't dare to step forward easily, and the two sides confronted each other like this.From the speed and strength of the two shots just now, the man with the scar also saw that the two were not ordinary noble sons, and the youngest military adviser whispered to him, so he didn't dare to make a move easily.
Everyone only felt the cold wind constantly blowing in their ears, occasionally mixed with the howling of wild animals.The two of Mo Jue were fine, they ate a steamed bun not long ago, so they didn't feel too bad.But the group of people surrounding them was different. One word to describe their mood at this time was that they were hungry and cold.Stomach gurgling and drumming, the wind beating on the body, and you can't relax your vigilance. All kinds of feelings add up, which is more uncomfortable than killing them.Especially the fat that reaches the mouth is constantly dangling in front of the eyes but can't be tasted.
"Damn it, I don't care! Brothers, come to me! Take it back to the stockade and have a good meal!" After confronting for a while, the man with the scar suddenly raised his arms, and in an instant, the twenty or thirty people rushed towards him like a tide. The two rushed forward.
Mo Jue kicked the approaching person away, and knocked down several people one after another. Like a big fight, everyone 'wrestled' together.But in the woods, the space is limited, and there are too many people, but it can't be used. This also adds a bit of advantage to Mo Jue and the two.Because there were only two targets, many people accidentally injured their own people.As time went by, the number of people besieged became less and less. In the end, apart from Mo Jue and the other two, there were only five people standing on the other side.
He didn't suffer any injuries, but he described it as a bit of a mess. There were a few big holes in his gown, which were obviously caused by some kind of sharp weapon.It can be seen that the martial arts of the two are very strong, and the dagger on Xia Rong's right hand is still dripping blood.The whole person looks like Shura from hell.
The scarred man's expression was extremely ugly. He wasted so much manpower and material resources, but didn't hurt a single hair of the opponent. How could this make him angry?But seeing that terrifying sight sweeping towards him, he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Brother, let's retreat first..." The man who looked like a military adviser stood behind the man with the scar and said, his eyes flickering.
Hearing this, he was silent for a while, and finally nodded. "Alright, I have written down today's revenge. If I don't report it, I will write the title of King of Mingshan upside down!" The last sentence is full of viciousness and unwillingness.In this silent mountain forest, it is extremely clear.
King Mingshan?Mo Jue raised his eyebrows calmly.It seems that the other party is still a "big hero" with a name and surname, but unfortunately, his combat effectiveness is too low.
Seeing the group of people on the other side slowly backing away, those who were injured would help each other, and there was resentment and fear in the eyes staring at the two before leaving.
Xia Rong let down his vigilance when the other party left completely, "Are you okay?"
Mo Jue shook his head, looked up in the direction where the group of people left, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
At this time, the place where the two of them first settled was already far away, and they didn't plan to turn around and go back. Who knows if there will be an ambush there?The horse was gone, so the two had no choice but to move on on their own legs.Moreover, I don't know if there will be any wild animals in the woods in the middle of the night, so it is not suitable to stay in place for a long time.
So, weighing one or two, the two decided to continue on their way, and then wandered forward under the faint moonlight.
Suddenly, there was a subtle sound of breaking wind, and Mo Jue's expression changed, and he was about to fall to the ground.But the warm body that suddenly approached made his movements stiff, and a suppressed muffled sound came from his ears.
Everything is too late.
Mo Jue turned his head, his sharp eyes shot straight at the direction the arrow came from.Even though they couldn't see anything, it still made the people at the other end shiver.He was about to withdraw his bow and leave, but the wooden branch that pierced through the air had already penetrated into his eyebrows with perfect precision.The bright red marks that flowed down slowly, and the disbelief in the wide-eyed eyes were the last traces of him left in this world.
The tall figure behind him fell down, and Mo Jue quickly turned around and hugged him in his arms to avoid further injury.
By the moonlight, the part of Xia Rong's arrow was exposed nakedly in his sight.
Thin and dense bloodstains continuously flowed down along the opening, and many arrows penetrated into the flesh.In these few moments, Mo Jue clearly felt that Xia Rong's body was cooling down instantly.
"I, I'm fine..." Xia Rong said weakly, his head resting on Mo Jue's shoulder.Originally, this arrow wouldn't make him do this, but the instantaneous loss of physical strength made him understand that the arrow might be poisoned.
Mo Jue obviously noticed something too, found a fairly neat place, and carefully put Xia Rong down face down.This will not press the wound.In the wilderness, even lighting is a problem, let alone extracting arrows.But the more so, the calmer Mo Jue became.
I picked up some wooden branches that I could use as much as possible around, and quickly raised the fire.In this way, it can not only illuminate and warm, but also drive away wild animals.
When he came to Xia Rong's side, perhaps because of some kind of anesthetic in the drug, he had already passed out at this time, but the cold sweat on his forehead was still dripping down, and his body temperature was getting lower and lower.He took out a small porcelain-white bottle from his bosom, uncorked the bottle, and poured out a white ball that exuded a faint light, and put it into Xia Rong's mouth.
No matter where he went, Mo Jue would habitually put some commonly used pills on his body, just for this unexpected situation.What Xia Rong was given was Baihua Pills. As the name suggests, the medicine was refined from hundreds of flowers, some of which were common and some were rare.Needless to say the effect, most of the poisons can be detoxified, if some strange poisons, even if not all of them can be detoxified, they can be suppressed in time, so as to buy more detoxification time for the poisoned person.
Sure enough, Xia Rong's condition was obviously much better. His body temperature, which had been dropping, had recovered, and the cold sweat on his forehead stopped flowing.The dark blood that continued to overflow from the wound also stopped.
Mo Jue cleverly tore Xia Rong's clothes along the wound where the arrow was shot, and the bronze-colored junior was exposed to the cold air. There were signs of ulceration at the joint of the arrow, but it was much better at this time.He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and sprinkled the white powder in the bottle on the wound.Then tore off a long piece of white cloth from the inner garment, and carefully wrapped the wound.According to the general method, the arrow should be pulled out at this time, but there is no convenient tool at hand, if the wound is infected by pulling out the arrow rashly, it will be even worse.
After finishing everything, Mo Jue leaned against the big tree and carefully let Xia Rong lie on his body.Checked his current state again, and felt relieved when he found that everything was normal.
At this time, they were only ten days away from Jiangnan, but judging from the current situation, it was obviously impossible to rush to Jiangnan as expected.
