Chapter 132: Song Dynasty Fugitive Zhang Qian
The Bai family assassin whose arm was severed retreated with a pale face, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"
Zhou Zhilu, wearing a bronze mask, changed his voice and said, "Just a fugitive."
"We are from the Bai family of Southern Xinjiang. Are you sure you want to intervene in this matter? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by our Bai family?"
"Oh, the Bai family of the Great Song? I'm fleeing from the Great Song's pursuit. Now that things have come to this, why should I fear another enemy? You've seized our land and committed heavy crimes. Today, I'll protect these two!"
Upon hearing this, several Bai family assassins saw that no one came during the conversation except Zhou Zhilu. After looking at each other, they immediately attacked Zhou Zhilu.
Zhou Zhilu also drew his sword and moved forward, but in order to conceal his skills, he only used a single sword and did not use the Burning Frost Soul-Controlling Sword Technique.
There were four assassins from the Bai family, surrounding and attacking Zhou Zhilu.
Zhou Zhilu was the first to rush towards the man with a broken arm. He saw him holding a knife in his left hand across his chest, trying to delay time by defending himself.
But Zhou Zhilu couldn't do as he wished. With his clear and bright eyes, he instantly saw through the opponent's defensive moves. The long sword in his hand instantly cut through the gap in his defense, leaving another hideous wound on his chest.
At this time, the three people behind had also arrived. Zhou Zhilu grabbed the neck of the person in front of him and threw him backwards, instantly blocking the attack route of two of them. The remaining fat killer from the Bai family had already rushed in front of him.
I saw raging fire spewing out of his mouth again, but Zhou Zhilu's swordsmanship was based on the dual cultivation of ice and fire, so how could he be afraid of fire?
Layers of frost condensed in his hands, and he struck out at the flames that were coming towards him. The collision of the frost and the flames instantly turned into a misty water vapor that filled the surroundings of the two of them.
In the fog, the fat Bai family killer had not yet reacted when he saw a black shadow suddenly attacking from behind him. Then he felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted on the ground.
The remaining two Bai family killers couldn't help but feel like retreating when they saw that two of their teammates had been lost in the blink of an eye.
One of the Bai family killers gritted his teeth and instantly rushed towards Zhisha and the other man who were lying on the ground.
Zhou Zhilu's face changed when he saw this, and he ran away quickly, throwing the long sword in his hand.
But who knew that the Bai family killer suddenly turned around to block, and then immediately fled into the depths of the woods.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu looked back and saw that the three Bai family killers behind him had all disappeared.
The Bai family killer didn't want to kill Zhisha and the other two at all, but wanted to lure Zhou Zhilu away to give his companions a chance to rescue the wounded and evacuate.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu did not chase after him. After all, compared with the Gu Clan and the Bai Family, Zhou Zhilu was currently more inclined towards the Bai Family.
After all, the Bai family is ultimately from the Song Dynasty, and the Gu tribe is a foreign race. There are more than a dozen frictions with the southern border of the Song Dynasty every year.
So even though he had plotted against these young boys and girls from the Gu tribe, Zhou Zhilu could only say sorry in his heart.
And now, my goal has been achieved.
Zhou Zhilu walked towards Zhisha, who was lying on the ground injured by the arrow, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, everything is fine."
…
In the Guyuan Forest, Zhou Zhilu was carrying a piece of yarn on his back, and a young man with a missing ear was following him.
The boy's name is Miao Ye, and he is Zhisha's younger brother. He had originally been in high spirits to sneak out and play with his brothers and sisters this time, but his current experience made him silent all the way.
After gaining the trust of the siblings, Zhou Zhilu put the bodies of the other teenagers into the storage ring, then pretended to be embarrassed to accept their request and escorted them back to the village.
We learned a lot of information through communication on the way, for example, the Gu tribe does not live together as a whole, but is scattered in the Guyuan Forest in the form of villages.
But all the villages will listen to the temple. The temple is the most special place in the Gu tribe, similar to the sacred mountain in the Buddhist world. Only the Gu tribe priests will live in the temple.
At the same time, he also learned some information about the Bai family from the side, such as that the Bai family members have been looting in the Guyuan Forest recently, including the Snake Grass that Zhisha and others want to find this time.
Snake grass is a plant with ink-colored leaves like thin snakes. Its only use is to treat poisonous insects.
This also made Zhou Zhilu feel a little confused. The Bai family must have collected snake grass to treat poisonous insects.
But as one of the ancient families, the Bai family has its own unique practice method. Why would they practice the method of poisonous insects?
While Zhou Zhilu was thinking, he chatted with Zhisha about various things. Soon he felt that the trees around him were becoming sparser and a dirt road was gradually appearing on the ground.
As the dirt road climbs up a valley, the view gradually becomes wider. There is a fertile plain in the valley, and Zhishade Village is built on this plain.
The village is called Guyuan Village, with about seventy or eighty households. There is a small stream in the middle of the village, and behind the village is a dark cave.
When Zhou Zhilu approached, dozens of people suddenly rushed out of the village and stared at him warily.
Standing in the front row of the crowd was an old man with a white beard. Wrapped under his feet was a giant centipede that was about one meter long and completely red.
Judging from the aura emanating from the centipede, if it were classified as a demon, it would probably be at the fifth level.
Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but stop in his tracks, only to hear the old man opposite him ask in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why did you come to our village? Where are Zhisha, Miaoye, and the others?"
Zhisha got off Zhou Zhilu's back, limped over, and knelt down in front of the old man, crying and telling him what had happened.
