Niu Youdao, who was about to enter the cabin, paused and looked back towards the land, "Ashore?"
Gongsun Bu sighed: "Black Mudan was worried that you were in danger, so he took Duan Hu ashore, saying that he would help you avoid possible dangers."
"Help me divert the danger away?" Niu Youdao's gaze retracted and fell on his face. He slowly turned around to face him and shouted, "What's going on?"
This shout led Lu Lijun, who was accompanying him inside, to come out and stand in front of the cabin door looking at this place.
"We received a summons before, telling us to set off at dawn. Black Mudan predicted that the Taoist Master might be in danger..." Gongsun Bu explained the situation in detail.
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes blinked, feeling sad in her heart. No matter what Black Peony did was right or wrong, it was undeniable that he was a loyal subordinate. In this world, such a person is rare!
"Nonsense!" Niu Youdao scolded angrily, and stabbed the deck with his sword several times. "If we don't let the ship dock, we will make you wait at sea. Why did you run ashore? Who asked you to run ashore?"
How did Gongsun Bu answer this? But Gongsun Bu also saw that it seemed really dangerous to make Niu Youdao get so angry, and he couldn't help but worry about Black Mudan and Duan Hu!
Niu Youdao had an ugly expression on his face, wandering back and forth on the deck, looking toward the coastline from time to time, with anxiety in his eyes.
He had felt a little strange before. After escaping from the ranch, the journey had gone smoothly without any sign of being searched.
He also felt that he might have been worrying too much. There was no situation that he was worried about, and he didn't see any resistance at all.
Now it seems that either he is really worrying too much, or the black peony has played a role and really helped him attract the searchers.
The reason is very simple. If that kind of danger really exists, we can make certain predictions based on the time difference and the situation between ourselves and the enemy.
I hope that I am worrying too much, and that there is no possible danger that I am worried about.
"Did they bring Golden Wings with them?" Niu Youdao, who was standing on the side of the ship, turned around and asked.
Gongsun Bu replied: "No!"
Niu Youdao: "Did they say which direction they went?"
Gongsun Bu shook his head: "No, I just said that if we can't wait for them, they may go to the place where Shen Qiu and the others went, and meet us there."
Boom! Niu Youdao stabbed the lower deck with his sword again, unable to vent the anger in his heart.
Without Golden Wings, you can't contact Black Peony and the others, and you can't find them if you don't know where they have gone. The land is so big, and relying on these few people to search blindly is no different from finding a needle in a haystack, and it is unrealistic!
"Master Tao, what should we do now?" Gongsun Bu tried to ask, the implication being, should we sail the ship
Niu Youdao said angrily: "What else can we do? Wait!"
Guan Fangyi originally wanted to play off her usual little temper, but looking at the meeting place, she was a little unhappy. She thought Niu Youdao was too weird. When she sent Uncle Chen and the three away, she refused to reveal the location, obviously on guard. .
But looking at Niu Youdao like this, he was obviously angry, and he suppressed his temper...
A stretch of mountains with steep mountains and rivers, the place name is Jiudaochuan.
At the foot of the mountain, two horses galloped.
"Sister, it's not good!"
Duan Hu, who had been watching his surroundings from time to time on horseback, suddenly exclaimed.
Black Peony turned around sharply and looked in the direction he was looking. He saw several black shadows passing by under the bright moon in the night sky. They were large birds.
Black Peony's face changed drastically, something was beyond her expectation. She wanted to make a noise and immediately escape to a dangerous place, hoping to rely on the convenience of the terrain to escape. However, she did not expect that the other party would actually use large birds to chase and search, especially when using such a What a large bird.
In her mind, even one large bird was worth a sky-high price, and she never thought that someone would use so many large birds to hunt it down.
She thought she had a good chance of escaping, but the opponent used large birds to hunt them down, and their reaction speed exceeded her expectations. She didn't expect to be caught up so quickly, so she missed some opportunities to escape!
She didn't expect that it had nothing to do with these large birds passing by by chance. She knew that this was really trouble and danger!
"Let's go!" Black Peony shouted, flying up from the horse and flying towards the mountain.
Duan Hu also flew up and chased after him. The two of them dropped their mounts at the same time, threw off the gauze hats on their heads, revealed their true appearance, and ran for their lives in panic!
In the sky, five birds separated and joined together, searching everywhere, rising and falling.
A bird flew almost close to the ground, passing at low altitude above the two unoccupied horses, and then glided upwards, diagonally chasing the two people flying past the mountain.
"Beep!" The bird gave a sharp and long cry to alarm.
The four birds in the air around them immediately turned around, increased their wing beat frequency, and accelerated towards this direction.
Soon, Black Mudan and Duan Hu were forced to the top of the mountain. On the other side of the mountain was a cliff canyon with roaring rapids.
One bird hovered above their heads, two circled around them, one landed on the opposite side of the canyon, and another darted back and forth over the rapids in the canyon.
There are three drivers on each of the five birds. Each one is wearing a black cloak, and each one's face is half covered, so that the face cannot be seen clearly.
However, judging from the beards and facial wrinkles of some people, it seems that there are quite a few older people.
The escape route was completely cut off and surrounded. Black Mudan and Duan Hu were filled with tension and anxiety. If they said they were not afraid at all, that would be a lie.
A person floated down from a bird and landed opposite them, examining their appearance.
To an experienced person, the two of them could tell at a glance that they were not disguised.
It was obvious that Black Peony's skin color and appearance were inconsistent with Guan Fangyi's, and Duan Hu's age was also clearly inconsistent with Niu Youdao's. He was obviously much older than Niu Youdao, so it was impossible for him to be Niu Youdao.
Black Peony said in a deep voice: "Who are you, and why are you chasing us?"
"Aren't you Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi pretending to be them to distract us, asking, where did Niu Youdao go?" the man asked in a dull voice.
Black Peony: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"
"How dare you speak harshly!" The man flipped his hand and slapped his hand, and a palm shadow as big as a tabletop, glowing with green light, blasted out!
The two were shocked and couldn't avoid it. As soon as the other party made a move, they knew that the other party's strength was beyond their ability to resist.
But the two have worked together in the spiritual world for many years, so they have a tacit understanding.
Black Peony immediately used up all her cultivation and used her palms to resist.
Duan Hu immediately slapped Black Mudan on the back with both palms, and tried his best to provide Black Mudan with magical support to resist the opponent's attack.
boom! The green light palm shadow broke through the two people's joint defense with one palm.
Black Mudan threw her arms away, and she could hear the sound of bones breaking, and a mouthful of blood came out from her mouth.
boom! The shockingly ejected Black Mudan collided with Duan Hu, who also burst out with a mouthful of blood. However, most of the attack power was withstood by Black Mudan, and Duan Hu was obviously much better off.
The two figures were knocked away by a palm, fell into the canyon, and landed in the rapids of the canyon one after another.
The birds flying back and forth in the canyon came over, and one person flew down. Turning his hand, a luminous pearl appeared, and it got into the water, chasing the two of them!
As soon as Duan Hu entered the water, he immediately hugged Black Mudan, who had almost lost his power, and dived desperately under the water, moving quickly along the rapids. He knew that this river might be the only hope for the two of them to escape.
There seemed to be a flash of light chasing after him, and Duan Hu panicked.
In panic, he would not let go of any opportunity he could sense. This was his survival instinct. He drew his hand to a place that was either a cave entrance or a gap in the rock wall, a small opening that could only accommodate one person. Duan Hu couldn't care less, so he held Black Mudan under one arm and pushed Black Mudan in.
Seeing that Black Peony could push it in easily, indicating that there was still space inside, he also got in.
As soon as he got in, he found that it was a water hole. He didn't know how big the space was inside. He immediately hugged Black Mudan and stuck it inside, not daring to move. He covered Black Mudan's mouth with one hand to prevent the smell of blood from her nose and mouth. Come out.
After a light flashed outside the cave and left, Duan Hu probed back with a weak foot and found another small cave entrance.
At first, he ignored the small hole and swam toward the larger space inside with Black Peony in his arms. The two of them quickly surfaced, and the space inside was unknown.
He originally wanted to carry Black Peony ashore, but after thinking about it, he actually dived back into the water, found the cave entrance next to the previous cave entrance, and after a little exploration, he found that the space inside could only accommodate three or four people. After stuffing the black peony inside, he picked up a big stone from the water hole alone. When he got in, he dragged the big stone to block the small hole.
The light of the luminous pearl bloomed on the surface of the rapids. One person came out of the water and shook the luminous pearl, and then got into the water again.
Immediately, ten people flew down from the sky. One by one, they took out the luminous pearls and got into the water. They immediately saw a light under the rapids and searched upstream and downstream.
Each of the two birds carries a person on board and patrols back and forth over the river.
There are two more in the sky, each carrying one person, patrolling the mountains.
The man in black robe who took action was standing on the cliff, with a bird standing beside him.
Someone discovered the entrance of the cave where Duan Hu was hiding, and got in with the luminous pearl.
Duan Hu, who was hiding in the small hole next to the entrance, immediately became very nervous. He could see the light seeping through the gaps in the stone that blocked the small entrance.
However, his quick-witted decision made in a hurry was correct. The visitor ignored the entrance of the cave. After getting into the cave, he missed the big stone in the corner. He entered and cast spells everywhere, but he didn't expect to enter the cave. There is someone hiding at the entrance.
To a certain extent, Black Mudan knew full well in choosing Jiudaochuan as the escape direction from the beginning.
The visitor entered and came out of the water, went to the water bank, and held up the night pearl to explore the underground space dozens of feet deep, not missing any large or small caves connected in the cave.
After a thorough check, no one was found. The visitor returned to the water, dived out of the hole, and got into the fast-flowing river outside to continue searching other places.
Duan Hu, who was hiding in the small cave, saw the light flashing outside.
He knew that the person should have gone out, but he still did not dare to move rashly and continued to hide.
It wasn't until he felt that the comatose Black Peony in his arms was about to die that he had to take risks and carefully push open the blocking stone, pull Black Peony out, sneak into the cave, and hold Black Peony up to the waterfront.
He cast a spell to control the dripping water on the two of them, rushed inside, found a space inside and hid together, and then started first aid on Black Peony...
