In the mountain forest, there was a gloomy air. Yang Ning looked solemn. Under the cold moonlight, he saw a pool of wet things on the ground next to him. He squatted down, dipped his finger in it, and brought it close to the tip of his nose. He immediately smelled something. The strong smell of blood made me know that there was blood on the ground.
He glanced forward and saw blood splattered on the ground, spreading deep in front of him. He thought for a moment, knowing that someone must be injured, and then went into the deep forest.
Although he knew it was very dangerous, Yang Ning couldn't help but follow the blood trail and groped into the deep forest. After walking for a while, he suddenly saw many corpses lying in front of him. There was deathly silence everywhere. Yang Ning suddenly saw so many corpses. , but my heart is also hairy.
He caught a glimpse of a steel knife next to him, bent down to hold it in his hand, and then cautiously approached it and took a closer look. There were eight or nine corpses lying around. Except for one of them whose head was separated, the bodies of the others were not mutilated. The two people I saw dying tragically earlier were much more normal.
These people were all wearing purple clothes, and some of them were facing up. Yang Ning saw spider tattoos between their eyebrows, and knew that these people were all companions.
Not only were there many corpses lying on the ground, but also various weapons were scattered. In addition to broadswords, there were also various weapons such as iron hooks, short thorns, and iron chains. It was obvious at a glance that these people were practitioners.
These corpses were all strong and strong, and they were all practitioners. It was hard for Yang Ning to imagine why so many people died here in such a short period of time.
He was wondering to himself when he suddenly heard a sound coming from nearby. Yang Ning tightened his body, clenched the knife in his hand, turned his head and looked over, and saw a pile of messy vines beside him, and the sound was coming from the vines.
Yang Ning held the knife and approached step by step. Soon he heard rapid breathing from behind the vines. Then he saw a person leaning against a big tree behind the vines. In the faint moonlight, he could only see This man was wearing a gray robe with a gray belt on his head. His white hair was as conspicuous as winter snow, but his eyes were extremely cold and stern.
Yang Ning looked at this person and immediately thought of the old man in gray robe that the man in purple mentioned earlier. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be the white-haired old man in front of him.
The white-haired old man was short of breath, but very weak. His eyes were originally very cold, but when he saw Yang Ning's appearance, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and asked: "You... who are you?"
His voice sounded very weak, and he seemed to be hurt.
But Yang Ning had already thought that since the people in purple were looking for this old man, and now more than ten people in purple were dead in the mountains, I am afraid that the murderer was this old man with white hair.
But looking at the old man's dry look, it's hard to believe that so many strong men died in his hands.
"Old...Mr., what's wrong with you?" Yang Ning was wary, "Are you injured?"
The white-haired old man said coldly: "I ask you, who are you? Why do you appear here?"
Yang Ning felt a chill emanating from the old man. He really didn't want to stay in the place of right and wrong. He took two steps back, but saw the old man's arm shaking suddenly, and a vine sprang out like a poisonous snake.
Yang Ning's face darkened, he clenched the knife in his hand, and slashed it with the knife. Unexpectedly, the vine seemed to be alive. Before the big knife touched it, the vine suddenly rolled sideways. Yang Ning felt his wrist tighten, and the vine had already Wrapped around his wrist.
Yang Ning was shocked and wanted to break away, but his whole arm was numb as if he had been electrocuted. The big knife in his hand fell from his hand, and his whole body had been pulled by the vine.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Yang Ning secretly thought that he should never go up to this gloomy mountain. It was a good thing that he didn't see the excitement and instead taught this old ghost to death.
"boom!"
Yang Ning was pulled over by the vines, and then fell heavily to the ground. The fall was so hard that his bones were about to fall apart. When Yang Ning struggled to sit up, he found that the old man was already close in front of him, staring at him with a pair of cold eyes. I, at this moment, was leaning against the big tree.
"Aren't you from the Five Poison Palace?" The old man looked Yang Ning up and down and said feebly: "Who are you? If you don't confess honestly, I will kill you now... now." At this point, he frowned. He tightened his grip, his whole body shook a few times, as if he had been shaken a few times, and then he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" sound.
Yang Ning immediately smelled a fishy smell, which was extremely unpleasant.
"It turns out that this old guy is really injured." Yang Ning saw this situation and immediately said: "Old... Old sir, you misunderstood, I am not from the Five... Five Poison Palace, I accidentally ran into the mountain of."
He sneered in his heart, thinking to himself that this old guy was so skilled that he was really no match for him. At this time, he could only play coy and look for opportunities to escape.
The old man mentioned the Five Poison Palace, but he didn’t know where it was.
"Accidentally?" The old man sneered: "You are a stupid kid, at this time, would you accidentally run into the mountains?" There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and his body was still shaking slightly, but his tone was solemn and vague. cold.
Yang Ning sat on the ground and sighed: "Old sir, I am a wandering beggar. I was separated from my companions. I found out that it had been several days since they left the official road, so I wanted to take a shortcut here to catch up."
"Through this deep mountain and old forest?" The old man chuckled and said, "You are quite courageous, and you are not afraid of being swallowed by the tigers and leopards in this mountain."
"I didn't know the mountains were so dangerous." Yang Ning was in pain all over, and she reluctantly stood up and said, "Old sir, you rest first, I won't disturb you anymore, let's go down the mountain." Turning around to leave, the old man said coldly :"stop!"
Yang Ning knew that the old man would never let her go easily, so he could only turn around and smile bitterly: "Old sir, I am penniless and have only one life. I just happened to bump into this place. Don't worry, I didn't see anything tonight. I will never tell anyone." But I thought in my heart: "I don't know what your business is, and I don't know where to start."
The white-haired old man said coldly: "Even if you tell me, it doesn't matter." He raised his finger and pointed in front of him and asked, "Do you know who they are?"
Yang Ning thought that the less she knew about these things, the better. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, old gentleman, I... I don't want to know too much."
"I just said that they are from the Five Poison Palace, have you forgotten?" The white-haired old man snorted coldly, "Don't be clever in front of me...!" At this point, there was another cough, and his body He was trembling even more.
"This old guy seems to be seriously injured." Yang Ning thought to himself, "If he really wants to hurt me, I'll have to fight him to the death." But he still said with a smile: "The old man misunderstood, actually... I don't know what the five poisons are. Palace Six Poison Palace, I just want to cross this mountain quickly and find my companions as soon as possible."
"You want to cross this mountain? Hehe, it seems that you don't know that your life is in danger." The old man sneered: "The people in the Five Poison Palace are all insidious and ruthless evil heretics. I have offended them because of my injustice. They chased them all the way. Although they killed these people, but...!" There was another violent cough. After calming down, he continued: "But they must have other people nearby who are coming here. If they see you , will also be killed.”
This old man is really unreasonable. It was you who killed this person. What does it have to do with me? Why should I be intimidated
Seeing Yang Ning's silence, the old man thought Yang Ning was scared and whispered: "Are you familiar with the roads on this mountain?"
Yang Ning shook his head and the old man said: "You are not familiar with them, but I am very familiar with them. If you want to survive, you must obey my instructions. I can take you out of the mountain, otherwise you will not be able to escape their pursuit."
Are you familiar with it? If he hadn't known that the old man was very good at martial arts, Yang Ning would have been ready to spray him.
This Niutou Ridge has continuous ups and downs, and there are almost no roads to follow in the deep mountains and old forests. This old man obviously strayed into the mountains to avoid being chased. I am afraid he doesn’t even know the name of this mountain. At this time, he is bragging that he knows the roads in the mountains, and he is bragging without making a draft. , This face is really not ordinary thick.
Yang Ning knew it well, but pretended to be innocent and said: "Mr. Do you really know how to get out of this mountain?"
The white-haired old man nodded and said, "Yes, no need to say more. I was slightly injured and have difficulty moving. Their people may come over at any time. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You can carry me out of here first."
Yang Ning immediately understood that the old man must not be able to walk as he was leaning under the tree. Just now he saw that he spit out a mouthful of blood, and the smell was unpleasant. He must have been seriously injured. Although he killed everyone in the Five Poison Palace, he was obviously He was also injured by the other party. At this time, he kept saying that he was only slightly injured, which was obviously full of nonsense.
The white-haired old man claimed to know the roads in the mountains and wanted to take Yang Ning out of the mountains. Of course, he was just talking about running a train, and his purpose was just to hope that Yang Ning would take him out of here first.
Yang Ning knew that since the old man wanted to use her now, he would not attack her easily. However, if he wanted to escape, this was really not the time. If he pissed off this old man, he would definitely not get any benefits. He thought in his heart that since the old man was injured , when his injury occurs, he will naturally have a chance to escape.
Seeing that Yang Ning didn't move for a while, the white-haired old man snorted coldly and said solemnly: "What? Don't you want to go out?"
Yang Ning hurriedly smiled and said: "Old sir, I misunderstood. I was worried... worried that I wouldn't be able to carry you."
"Don't worry, I'm very light." The white-haired old man said, "Come here quickly. If you don't leave, the people waiting for them will be unable to leave even if they want to."
Yang Ning had no choice but to step forward and carry the old man on his back. Strangely enough, the old man didn't look thin, but when he carried it on his body, he was really light and weightless. But the closer he got, the more he felt. The fishy smell became stronger. Now that he was carrying it on his body, the old man's breathing was short, and the fishy smell made Yang Ning almost want to vomit.
"Go that way!" The old man lay on Yang Ning's back, raised his hand and pointed deep into the mountain forest, "Just do whatever I tell you, and you can get out of the mountain safely."
"If I really listen to you, I'm afraid I will be killed and silenced by you old guy in the end." Yang Ning muttered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Old sir, what is your surname? How do you call me?"
"Just call me Mu Lao!" The old man said, "Let's go quickly, don't delay!"
