Chapter 417: The Rat Head Comes Across and Intercepts His Path
After escaping from Fei Lian, Cheng Yu wisely stayed away from the three men.
It’s not that Cheng Yu is afraid of death, but he knows that he is no match for Fei Lian, nor can he be a help to Xinyi Sang Mu.
Staying there would only be a burden, so saving Zhanli would be enough.
I remember when I was young, I followed the escort agency master on a convoy mission. The female master often told me that I should know how to "retreat well".
What is “good retreat”?
On the plateau of the Western Regions, there is a beast called "Shanji" that resembles a sheep, but has a deer's head and ox's horns. It lives in groups and feeds on moss and grass.
Every winter, in order to avoid the wind and snow, the "mountain birds" will migrate in groups, from high to low, down the mountain.
This was the time when ferocious beasts such as cliff wolves, grass leopards and others were feasting.
Food is scarce in winter, most herbivores hide for the winter, and most ferocious beasts are hungry. It is naturally a blessing to encounter a migration event.
Although Shan Ji is a herbivore, he is wild and manic.
If one is strong, a single blow from the horn can take half the life of the beast; if by chance, it is not uncommon for the sharp horn to pierce through the intestines.
Therefore, whenever a ferocious beast attacks, the mountain herd will split into two.
The mother beast and the weak beast escape, and the strong beast fights back.
Although it cannot be said that they will be able to retreat with all their strength, the casualties will be only a drop in the bucket, and most of the murderers will not gain any benefits.
If the weak beasts stayed, they would only drag down the strong beasts. How could the race have prospered to this day?
Cheng Yu did this so that Xinyi and Sang Mu could concentrate on fighting the enemy.
He has always known his own limitations and understood what it means to do his best.
After all, this is a matter of life and death, and there is no room for hesitation.
When Master Zhaoming was alive, he often taught Chengqi that there would always be green mountains and firewood.
As long as people are alive, there are things they can do.
What Cheng Yu needs to do now is to delay Shang Lu.
The thunder magic he used in a hurry just now was originally intended to save Zhan Li, but he didn't expect that it would anger Fei Lian.
Now that the two of them have separated, it can be considered a pleasant surprise.
This opportunity is a gift from God, how can we waste it?
We must not let the two of them reunite, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with them.
Cheng Qi made up his mind and decided to go look for Shanglu.
Even if we can't defeat them, it's good to be able to delay them for a while.
But before Cheng Qi could get close to Shanglu, he sensed danger approaching and subconsciously rolled over to avoid it.
Cheng Yu only felt a tremor under his feet, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Fei Lian's mount.
This is really unexpected.
That was a close call!
If I hadn't dodged this blow, I would have been beaten into a pulp.
Seeing Cheng Qi avoid it, the monster jumped lightly and began to circle around him, making a harsh sound from its mouth.
Seeing the monster like this, Cheng Qi frowned.
Looking at the situation, it seems like they are having a fight.
The monster swung its long tail like a whip. Cheng Qi quickly retreated to avoid it, and the tail actually smashed a hole in the ground.
What a great force!
Fortunately, I dodged it, otherwise I would have been torn to pieces.
It seems that the strength of this monster cannot be underestimated.
It is rumored that the mounts of the ancient powerful ones also have the ability to go to heaven and earth. Could this old guy be the same?
Cheng Qi actually guessed it.
This monster is called White-headed Hound. Although it is Fei Lian's mount, it is also a real demon.
Besides, this is just its demonic body, so it is natural for it to transform into a human form.
Perhaps it was in line with Cheng Qi's expectation, the white-headed monster suddenly twisted its body and made strange noises. After a while, it turned into a woman.
At first glance, the woman was tall and strong, but her head was surprisingly small. She had two buns on her head, thin eyebrows and eyes, and a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.
Cheng Yu was stunned at first, and then he wanted to laugh very much. If the situation was not so serious, he might have actually laughed.
This is the first time I clearly understand what "sly and shifty" means.
It is true that these two words are inappropriate to describe women, but I really can't find a more accurate description.
Cheng Yu could imagine what Lingxiang would say if she saw her.
What a wretched look.
Of course, making bad comments about other people's appearance is inhumane and inappropriate.
Cheng Yu said "Wuliang" and silently recited two sentences of the Heart Purification Sutra, only then did he calm his mind.
But as soon as the woman opened her mouth, Cheng Yu was completely defeated.
"How dare you attack General Fei Lian? You're really courting death!"
He looks huge, but his voice is as soft as a mosquito, and he has a pretentious posture, which seems out of place no matter how you look at it.
Although Cheng Yu never claimed to be a gentleman, he would never offend women, but this time, he really couldn't help it.
So Cheng Qi laughed, and his laughter was unrestrained, like a flood, and he couldn't stop it at all.
The woman didn't know whether to be angry or ashamed. She pinched her throat and yelled at Cheng Ji: "You stinky Taoist priest, how dare you make fun of me!" Then she took out a whip and lashed him.
Cheng Qi subconsciously dodged, but the laughter did not stop at all. He only apologized intermittently and said rude and offensive words.
Why, it's really funny.
But his apology was sincere.
The white-headed fox was so angry and humiliated that his hand holding the whip began to tremble.
It’s a shame that Green-Faced Tiger always says that mortals are interesting, but what fun are they! Didn’t he still die at the hands of a mortal?
The white-headed fox was extremely frightened and rushed towards Cheng Qi with a coquettish look.
Cheng Qi naturally didn't dare to be negligent, but when he heard Bai Tou Hou's tone, he couldn't help laughing.
Really, he was afraid that he would never see such an interesting thing again in his life.
But the opponent's strength should not be underestimated. Even if he laughed, Cheng Yu had no intention of being perfunctory. He knew in his heart that if he was not careful, he would become a dead soul under the opponent's whip.
After calming down a little, Cheng Qi became serious and responded calmly to the attack of the white-headed fox.
Perhaps because Cheng Qi disturbed his mind, Bai Tou Hou's attacks always missed, but the more he failed to hit, the more anxious he became.
In fact, it’s not entirely the white-headed hyena’s problem.
Cheng Qi has been following the escort team since he was a child and encountered many desperate robbers. At that time, he learned a lesson.
If you want to save your life, you must never make any unnecessary movements.
Therefore, even though Cheng Yu looked burly, his sword moves and body movements were always neat and free, never dragging his feet.
Because you only have one life.
However, even if the White-headed Hound's move failed, Cheng Qi did not gain any advantage.
Although the white-headed fox could not hit Cheng Qi, its chaotic whipping skills left Cheng Qi with no choice but to dodge and no power to fight back.
This is not a solution.
Even if he has practiced for several years and has some basic skills, he is still a mortal after all and cannot be compared with the demons.
If you keep wasting time like this, your physical strength will eventually run out, and then you will become a lamb to be slaughtered, and can only be eaten by the other party.
Moreover, although Cheng Yu was trying his best to deal with the situation, he was still worried about Shang Lu, fearing that he might make some move, so it was difficult for him to calm down.
On Shanglu's side, there were only Zhao Wuyang and Zhan Li.
Let’s not talk about Zhan Li, after all, Cheng Yu doesn’t know him yet. But Zhao Wuyang is definitely no match for Shang Lu in terms of physical skills or cultivation, so how can he expect the two of them to hold him back?
At this stalemate, there was a sudden tremor under my feet.
Not long after, a gust of wind carrying dust and sand swirled towards the direction where Liu Xia Huiwu disappeared.
Both Cheng Qi and Bai Tou Hou were extremely surprised, especially Bai Tou Hou.
After so many years in the underworld, apart from hearing that there is wind in the Eight Cold Hells, I have never seen wind in other places.
Could it be that the Eight Cold Hells are leaking?
