C125 There Was a Sudden Change
"Yes, your subordinate obeys!"
Thinking of the consequences of failing the mission, a trace of coldness instantly rose in Aaning's heart. Based on his master's usual methods. . . It was indeed as the lord in front of him said, death was really letting him off too easily.
Not daring to be neglectful, Aaning calmed his breathing slightly. Then he suddenly moved. He turned into a stream of arrows and rushed forward. In an instant, his speed was much faster than Guxing who was in front of him.
"En, this kid's speed seems to have improved a lot compared to before. "
Looking at the back of his subordinate who had left in a trail of dust, the old man said with a gratified expression, "Looks like the most correct decision this time was to bring this kid here. Otherwise, I would really cry but have no tears at this moment. "
When he thought of this, the old man's calm face couldn't help but reveal a smile. However, before the smile disappeared. . . He had already disappeared like Aaning in front of him.
The forest was silent. Only the bright moonlight accompanied by a few cold stars in the horizon didn't rest. On the quiet road in the forest, one could occasionally hear the rustling sound of the trees and grass that the two of them accidentally touched as they passed by. However, it only lasted for a moment before it returned to silence. Finally. . . When the sound of insects had become much fainter, at night. . . It was getting deeper and deeper.
. . .
"How is it, idiot, can you still hold on?"
In an unknown corner of the forest, Xiao Yue looked at Guxing, who was leaning against a big tree and gasping for breath, and asked worriedly.
"No. It's fine. I'm just resting for a while, just for a while. . . "
Guxing had been rushing with all his strength until now. He finally could not hold on any longer and had no choice but to stop. His originally handsome face was now pale without a trace of blood. He weakly sat on the ground, and his entire body was filled with unspeakable exhaustion.
"Alright, let's go. "
A moment later, Guxing struggled to get up. After all, this was different from the past. If he delayed any longer, he might get himself killed. In this life and death escape without any smoke and smoke, he was destined to be a weakling. The weak could only escape the fate of being killed if they kept running. At a critical moment, the shadow of death could always stimulate the potential of a person. Because they understood that once they couldn't escape. . . Only death.
He staggered to his feet. Before he could stand up, Guxing sat down again. He shook his head powerlessly in an attempt to wake himself up, but he couldn't bear the eyelids that were getting heavier and heavier.
"Alright, don't force yourself. Just rest for a while longer. "
Seeing his pitiful look, Xiao Yue could not help but advise him.
"No, no, staying here now is just waiting for death. It doesn't matter if I die, but I promised this girl that I would bring her safely back to my parents' side. Before that, I can't fall down. "
After he finished speaking, he struggled to get up again, but it was destined to be futile. This time, he didn't even stand up before falling down again.
"Hmph, trying to be brave. With your current condition, even if you stand up, how far can you run? Five meters? Ten meters?"
Seeing that he was stubborn, Xiao Yue suppressed her temper and said: " Even if you stand up now, if you continue to run, it will only be a matter of time before you are caught. Instead of dragging your tired body to be tortured and killed, why don't you rest up now and maybe even fight to the death to win a chance of survival. "
Only then did Guxing become completely obedient. He looked at Chu Rouer in his arms in a daze. Guxing could not help pursing his lips and unconsciously clenched his hands.
He did not dare to delay for a moment. The huge pressure made him instantly enter the dream. He greedily enjoyed this short period of relaxation like a child. Seeing this, Xiao Yue's heart tightened again.
Gently touching his forehead, Xiao Yue suddenly stood up. A cold light flashed in her eyes, and her sword intent silently protected her back.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Guxing opened his eyes as if he had been shocked by electricity.
"Ms Yue, let's go. "
She slept quickly and woke up even faster. When Xiaoyue heard the sound, she turned around and saw that Guxing had already rushed out far away with Chu Rouer in his arms. She immediately took a step forward and followed. Suddenly, her divine sense that was scattered around moved subtly as if ripples had appeared on the calm surface of the water, causing her heart to suddenly tighten.
"Silly, what should have come might really come. "
After a few steps, she arrived in front of Guxing. Xiao Yue said with a frown, her expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
"Have they caught up?"
Guxing glanced behind him with the corner of his eye and said with hatred and confusion. "I clearly changed direction so many times. How could they catch up so quickly?"
This was true. Guxing rarely went straight. The paths he chose were mostly complicated and even had many twists and turns. Moreover, it was late at night and his line of sight was blocked. Logically speaking, the enemy would not be able to catch up so quickly.
"It's very strange, but it doesn't mean that it's impossible. "
Seeing through his depression, Xiaoyue patiently explained, "There is a martial art in this world called tracking. After learning it, the person being tracked can fly into the sky and land. If you go up the mountain and go into the sea, you can rely on the profundity of the technique to make it impossible to escape. It was likely that there were people who did not know about this Dao among the pursuers. However, they were able to catch up to him with great accuracy every time. Especially when it's so deep in the night. This is unbelievable. "
"They can actually ignore the influence of the sky, could it be. . . "
All of a sudden, Xiao Yue seemed to have thought of something and lowered her head in deep thought.
"What is it?"
Seeing her like this, Guxing hurriedly turned his head and asked.
This time, Xiao Yue did not answer, but looked at him with suspicion. After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and said in realization: "Yes, it's the smell!"
Guxing said, "The smell?"
"That's right! Guxing said. You have lost so much blood just now. They must have caught up to you based on the smell on your body. Damn it, I should have thought of this long ago. "
Xiao Yue nodded heavily, her face full of regret.
"So that's how it is. What should we do now? We have already reached this stage. Even if we change our clothes, it would be useless, right?"
"It's useless. It's already too late. "
Xiao Yue pursed her lips and said bitterly.
Seeing this, Guxing was just about to say a few words to comfort her when he saw that she seemed to have an idea again. He smiled and said, "Got it! Idiot, quickly take off your clothes. Big Sister, I have an idea to get rid of them. "
Guxing said, "Ah?"
。。。
"Master! The smell of blood seems to be getting closer and closer. It looks like we are going to catch up to them!"
Behind the dense forest, a man said to the old man behind him with joy.
"Good! Aaning, hurry up. This time, we absolutely can't let them escape!"
Hearing this, the old man ordered sternly.
They chased for more than two hours. Both of them were feeling a little exhausted. Aaning was still alright. After all, he had long gotten used to this kind of life of running for his life. So now, besides his clothes that were inevitably a little messy, he still seemed to be calm and composed. On the other hand, sweat had already seeped out from the forehead and nose of the old man, and he was still gasping for breath behind him. Obviously, he was quite tired.
"Thank you, Lord, for holding on for a while longer. Subordinate will go and make them reveal their true forms now!"
Noticing that the smell was getting closer and closer, Aaning immediately shouted loudly, "Kid, stop quickly. You have nowhere to run!"
As he spoke, he wanted to use his fastest speed to catch up with Guxing and the other man, but before he could increase his speed, he suddenly stood there foolishly.
"What's going on!? Quickly chase after them! What are you waiting for!? "
They were getting closer and closer to their target. The old man suddenly did not understand what he was doing. He shouted angrily.
Only then did Aaning come back to his senses. He looked at the old man and said with a confused face, "The smell has changed into two parts. It has been divided into two parts, north and south. Master, what. . . What should we do. . . "
