Late at night, in the jungle ten kilometers away from Taiyang City.
The bright moon in the cold spring is particularly cold. Tian Cang and Luo Qiong hang lonely in the sky, watching everything on the ground coldly. No matter what kind of joys and sorrows are being performed here, or what kind of human tragedies are happening, it is indifferent and calm. , just like the eyes of the gods.
"You guys, go and search in front!! You must not let anyone go!!"
A shout broke the icy silence in the jungle. It was not only abrupt, but also murderous.
Several groups of men in black held torches high in one hand and clutched bright sabers in the other. They walked through the jungle and searched one by one. When they encountered trees, they went out to chop and poke with their swords. Sometimes they returned without success. Sometimes there was a scream from inside, and then the men in black silently surrounded them, dragged out a few refugees hiding among the trees, and hacked them to death.
These were all refugees who had escaped from Taiyang City. Although they were besieged and killed as soon as they left the city, there were still 20,000 of them.
When there are thousands of people, the pits are full and the valleys are full.
Even if they were asked to kill 20,000 pigs, it would take them a long time to kill them, let alone 20,000 people!
The total number of these black knights is only two to three hundred, because if there are more people, it is easier to attract attention, and the probability of leaks will increase.
Therefore, more than two hundred knights chased them all the way, and many people still fled into the jungle.
Escape into the jungle is their only option, because there is flat land in all other directions. How can a person's two legs outrun a four-legged horse
The shopkeeper and the boss took turns holding the little bamboo in their arms. The three of them were caught in the crowd and fled in a hurry. Fortunately, they had a small bamboo that was dragging them. As a result, they quickly fell to the back from the front position at the beginning, and they had to Fortunately, the three of them didn't fall down, otherwise they would have been trampled to death by the crazy refugees.
Yes, when they first found out that someone was surrounding them outside when they escaped, these refugees went crazy. It was hell inside and a slaughterhouse outside. They completely lost their minds at this time and only knew how to push away the people in front of them. People ran for their lives like crazy.
This group of knights divided into two columns, made an arc from both sides and began to outflank them, deliberately driving them into the woods. In Taiyang City, there were also men in black who cooperated with each other and began to hunt down these fleeing refugees. Crazy drive outward.
The refugees were like a group of sheep, driven and slaughtered wantonly. Only one or two thousand people were hacked to death on the road. Most of them were trampled to death because they were running or falling down.
They were the same group of people, and when led by the prince, they were so brave that they could fight with thousands of corpses in the sea, using hoes, kitchen knives, and even fists, feet, and teeth!
They are so brave that they can compare with any hero!
But when they were not led by the prince, they were so cowardly and fearful that even two to three hundred knights did not dare to fight against them. They were driven and massacred wantonly by them without any room for fighting back!
They are... so cowardly that they are worse than rabbits!
If the rabbit is anxious, he will take two bites!
But among those who were caught up and dragged out of the jungle, none of them resisted the fight. They just knelt down and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy!
Xiao Zhuzi followed the proprietress and the shopkeeper with their mouths tightly covered. The three of them huddled in a small pit, covered by thick bushes in front of them.
Xiao Zhuzi could clearly hear the screams, fighting, and begging for mercy outside, and her innocent eyes were filled with tears.
She didn't understand why all this was happening
Why do these people want to kill them
Why is the world of adults always filled with so much bloodshed, and why is it filled with so much fear and filth
The sound of rustling footsteps not far away was getting closer and closer. The shopkeeper and the proprietress hiding in the sunken pit shrank desperately. Their eyes were filled with a strong desire to win and extreme fear. Although their bodies were shaking like chaff, But they still tried their best not to make a sound.
Xiaozhuzi stared, her heart beating so fast that it almost jumped into her throat. She only heard the rustling footsteps stopping in the bushes in front of them. Before she could relax, two sharp and sharp weapons suddenly appeared. The saber came in and was inserted into the gap between her and her mother.
The cold blade touched Xiao Zhuzi's arm skin, instantly giving her goosebumps!
She will never forget the feeling of this moment!
This is the death touch!
The saber was quickly retracted, but then several more knives were stabbed in randomly! The three of them stared with their eyes wide open, watching the sharp saber tips stabbing in front of them. The god of death was wandering back and forth in front of their eyes! !
This short moment lasted as long as an eternity!
The shopkeeper and the proprietress subconsciously glanced at each other at this moment, with a strong look of joy in their eyes! Fortunately, there was a small sunken pit where they were hiding, otherwise they would have been stabbed and discovered by now!
Just when they thought the knives would not hit them, a knife suddenly passed through the bush and instantly hit the shopkeeper's cheek. The sharp blade grazed the boss's wife's cheek, and blood flowed from his face in an instant!
The landlady almost shouted out at this moment, but Xiao Zhuzi, with quick eyesight and quick hands, immediately reached out and covered the mouth of the landlady!
Seeing that when the saber was retracted, it would be stained with blood, and they would be discovered. At this time, Xiao Zhuzi suddenly stretched out his hand, twisted the blade of the saber with his fingers, and gently stuck it on the blade with his fingertips, letting the opponent When pulling out the blade, gently wipe the blood on the blade clean with the pads of your fingers.
The proprietress and shopkeeper looked at Xiao Zhuzi in horror, waiting for the saber to be withdrawn, and suddenly there was silence outside.
It was death-like silence, and this moment was excruciating! They simply feel like they are in a frying pan!
I don't know how long it took, but the footsteps outside began to rustle again. After they started to turn around and leave, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
But after the three of them took a breath, they suddenly heard a voice in horror: "Okay! Stop looking for it! Set fire!! Burn this forest!!"
This sentence was like a basin of ice water poured on the heads of the three people, chilling them to the bone! !
This is the real purpose of these knights driving them into the mountains and forests!
Otherwise, how could just two hundred of them kill all the twenty thousand people on this plain
That is absolutely impossible!
As long as they swarm and run in all directions, someone will definitely be able to escape.
But the order they received was to kill all these people, leaving no one alive!
It is absolutely impossible to kill 20,000 people by two hundred people with a sword in your hand. If you kill a dozen people with a normal sword, it will curl up and this sword can no longer be used.
Therefore, the strategy they came up with was to drive them into the mountains and forests, and then set fire to them and smoke them to death.
In wildfires, very few people are actually burned to death. Most people die from lack of oxygen or are suffocated by smoke.
Xiao Zhuzi and the other three people were shivering. They huddled in the small pit and did not dare to go out, for fear that there would be people outside and they would be hacked to death immediately if they went out.
But waiting here, waiting to be burned to death and smoked to death!
All three of them were in tears at this time, holding their heads and crying silently.
They saw the fire outside quickly brighten up, and then the fires connected into one, burning everywhere. A torch was even thrown into the bushes in front of them, and a ball of flames quickly rose in front of their eyes!
Xiaozhuzi held her hands tightly. She couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly: "Brother Chengfeng, sister Yuehan!! Help!!"
