Chapter 120 There are insects on the ground
Minghe Mingshui and a group of people hid in the trees in the back mountain.
There are many people on the mountain ahead, so entering the village from the front will attract attention and cause a lot of inconvenience.
They had already explored the terrain in advance and decided to go up through a deep forest on the back mountain.
There were no houses or patrols behind, so even if one or two villagers happened to come, they could easily deal with them.
The deep mountains and old forests of Lingnan are indeed difficult to walk in. If they did not have many years of experience in walking, they would probably have gotten lost.
When Minghe Mingshui and others were about to walk out of the forest, they heard a noise coming from not far away.
Several people jumped onto the nearest trees and hid there, observing the person coming.
In the distance, they saw several figures, some big, some small, some male, some female.
One of the little girls suddenly ran towards them and ran to the banyan tree where they were hiding.
Minghe Mingshui didn't expect that he was so lucky.
There is no need to sneak into the village, the target will be right in front of you.
It's like divine help.
But Minghe Mingshui did not act immediately because they saw another boy walking towards them.
When the boy came over, they attacked together and kidnapped both of them.
Su Zhizhi chased the butterfly and ran under the banyan tree.
Butterflies flew around the banyan tree, and Su Zhizhi also circled around the banyan tree.
Murong Di and Xue Che followed with half a basket of wild vegetables on their backs.
Murong Di: "Zhizhi, the forest is so deep in the mountains that the sun cannot be seen. Don't get lost."
"Be careful not to fall again like before." Xue Che still remembered that when they were digging wild vegetables, Su Zhizhi rolled down the slope while chasing a pheasant.
Anyway, it seems that whenever Su Zhizhi chases something, an accident will happen.
Su Zhizhi was certain: "I definitely won't fall today."
As he spoke, the butterfly disappeared from sight in a flash.
Murong Di looked at Su Zhizhi's regretful expression and wanted to laugh:
"Zhizhi, next time you bring a butterfly net, okay?"
Su Zhizhi is a lively person. Usually at such times she would say "OK", then turn her head and put it behind her and continue to dig wild vegetables.
But now Su Zhizhi lowered her head and looked at the ground, without saying "OK".
Very abnormal.
Murong Di didn't expect Su Zhizhi to be so depressed because she failed to catch Butterfly, and wanted to go over and bring her sister back.
But Xue Che stopped Murong Di:
"Brother, look at the ground. There are two big bugs on it."
Murong Di looked at the ground.
No bugs.
Not a single one.
The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped. The sky cleared up and the sun became hot and bright again.
The green grass on the ground reflects the shadows of branches and leaves.
Between the shadows of the trees, there were two human-shaped shadows.
"It's indeed a bug. Be careful not to get bitten. Let Sister Hua and Doctor Yu catch it."
Murong Di's tone sounded calm as usual, but a slightly trembling hand had already reached into his arms and touched the plum blossom dart.
Xue Che grasped the peach wood sword at his waist.
Su Zhizhi pulled out the whip.
Doctor Yu and Hua Erniang, who were arguing, also noticed that something was wrong with the children and thought that they were bitten by insects.
Hua Erniang: "What's wrong? Let me see what kind of bug it is."
Doctor Yu and Hua Erniang walked over.
At the same time, the Styx decided not to wait any longer and took action immediately.
At the moment they flew down, Su Zhizhi quickly raised the golden snake whip in her hand, and the black and gold patterns sparkled in the light and shadow.
Bang!
Minghe Mingshui was caught off guard and was whipped in the face. The collar of his clothes was torn, and even the skin under the collar was broken.
They were stunned at first, then shouted fiercely:
"Get started!"
Swish, swish, swish—figures jumped down from several nearby trees one after another, all rushing towards Su Zhizhi and Xue Che.
Minghe Mingshui was about to catch Su Zhizhi when he suddenly felt a large shadow appear above his head.
A giant eagle with a sharp beak and claws swooped down, stepped hard on the Styx and bit it.
Minghe was thrown to the ground, with a piece of skin instantly missing from the back of his neck and blood gushing out like a pillar.
Mingshui went to help Minghe and stretched out his iron fist towards Po.
"Hey! Take my move!" Su Zhizhi spun around, and the whip split the air flow in the air, hitting the dark water again.
Mingshui had to step back.
As I pulled away, I smelled a strange fragrance at the tip of my nose.
Mingshui's face turned pale, and he took out a pill from his sleeve and put it in his mouth:
"It's Ten Fragrance Softening Powder!"
Upon hearing this, the other killers also took out a pill from their sleeves and swallowed it.
Hua Erniang, who had just finished spreading the powder, raised an eyebrow. She hadn't expected the visitor to actually have the antidote with him.
"Oh, it has a background."
As Hua Er Niang spoke, she raised her hands and another cloud of powder flew over.
An assassin attacked Hua Er Niang, but was pierced in the throat by an arrow suddenly shot out from Doctor Yu's sleeve, killing him on the spot.
Hua Erniang turned her head to look at Doctor Yu, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.
Doctor Yu's face was ashen, and he still had his outstretched arms in his hands.
Hua Erniang: "You——"
Doctor Yu turned his head away: "Don't look at me, look across."
On the other side, Minghe Mingshui temporarily broke free from Po's grip, and the two of them clenched their fists, forming a double dragon fist stance.
Su Zhizhi sent out a signal: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"
Before she could yell a second time, a group of villagers behind her fell down from the taller and bigger trees:
"Just waiting for our orders!"
"Zhizhi has had enough fun, it's our turn now."
"Hey, aren't these the two brothers who use the Double Dragon Fist? See you again, hahaha..."
At this moment, the villagers showed the killers a bandit-like grin, and slashed at them with knives and swords.
Killers such as Minghe Mingshui were surrounded.
Amidst the flash of swords and sabers, the brothers felt in a cold sweat that the scene was somewhat familiar.
Their Double Dragon Fist was hard and fast, but their opponent's weapons and moves were even harder and faster.
The Hades River and the Hades Water could still withstand some attacks at the beginning, but later on it could only passively take the beating.
A gust of palm wind came from behind, and Minghe Mingshui rushed forward vomiting blood. In the blink of an eye, he was tied up.
What binds people is not a rope, but a strong chain that cannot be broken free.
Moreover, they didn't have the strength to break free. They didn't know what poison they had been poisoned with, but not only did their strength disappear, but they also started to have hallucinations.
Hua Erniang patted the remaining powder on her hands:
"The Ten Fragrance Softening Powder can cure this, but I don't believe you can cure my drunken dream."
Doctor Yu looked at Hua Erniang and asked, "When was it developed?"
Hua Erniang: "It was a couple of days ago. See if you can solve it."
Su Zhizhi tied the whip back to her waist and nodded in satisfaction:
"That Golden Dragon Turning Back move just now was quite useful, but it lacked strength. I'll continue practicing it later."
Xue Che and Murong Di stood by and watched, feeling very involved this time.
During the previous fight, Xue Che used the Zixiao sword technique with a peach wood sword, and he swung it very well, actually stabbing away a killer who was rushing towards him.
Unfortunately, the sword was made of wood and failed to pierce the enemy, but at least he managed to protect himself once.
Murong Di also threw out a few plum blossom darts.
After practicing for a while, although he could not match Old Man Qin's speed and accuracy, and could not hit moving targets, he could hit those who were slow to react.
He hid behind and watched which killer was stabbed. When the killer was slow to react, he would throw a dart to finish him off.
This was Murong Di's first time taking action, and his practical experience made him feel like he had grasped some tricks.
The only flaw was that the stab location was a bit strange. He originally wanted to stab the killer in the back, but he was short of strength, and the dart slanted downward and hit the killer's butt.
Murong Di felt that this was not a good idea, as it would be a bit embarrassing for him to retrieve the darts.
Everyone counted and found that there were seven killers in total. Apart from the one killed by Doctor Yu, there were still six survivors.
The six people were tied up and thrown into a cave in the back mountain, waiting to be interrogated later.
Their village grew bigger and bigger, and became more and more cultural. Even the place where they interrogated people was named the Cave of Questioning the Heart.
The light at the cave entrance was blocked by a huge rock, and the unconscious Styx was lying in the darkness.
They were awakened by the sound of stones being moved at the entrance of the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, the sunlight suddenly poured in like a whip, lashing their eyes so hard that they couldn't open their eyelids.
The footsteps are getting closer.
Minghe Mingshui already had the worst guess in his mind at this time.
Soon, their guess was confirmed.
A tall woman walked in, holding a spear with a cold gleam in her hand. She pointed it at Minghe's chest and asked:
"Tell me, who sent you here twelve years ago and today?"
