Catching the three horse thieves would not only reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, but also demand that the other party share the four horses. If they all refused, then there would be a reason for the robbery.
The three of them waited patiently until midnight, but they still didn't see the horse thief.
The team of eight should come from behind, and the three horse thieves will definitely not let this one go if they killed three teams along the way, but it is not certain whether they will do it today.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, just when the three thought that the horse thief would not do anything today, something happened.
Yun Ruoyan, Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng felt the approach of the three less powerful auras almost at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, three black figures sneaked out from the bushes on the other side, and they bowed and approached the eight fireworks mutant horses.
Zhuo Yifeng bent his bow and set an arrow, aiming at one of them, and at this moment, the chirping voice sounded again in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
"Master, those powerful auras have appeared again."
Yun Ruoyan also felt that powerful aura, but it was strange that Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng didn't seem to feel it.
Just when Yun Ruoyan was about to ask, Zhuo Yifeng shot out the sword in his hand.
With a pop, the arrow sank into the thigh of one of them, but no one uttered a cry of pain.
The man glanced back, then pulled out the arrow and threw it aside, and continued to approach the eight horses, as if he didn't feel any pain.
"What's going on?" Zhuo Yifeng asked in surprise.
"Look at that man's legs." Yun Ruoyan said in suppressed shock.
The three of them saw that the wound on the thigh of the man who had been shot by the arrow was constantly emitting black air. They had never seen such a situation before, and they were shocked for a moment.
"Master, that powerful aura has disappeared again." Jiujiu said again in Yun Ruoyan's mind.
At the same time, Zhuo Yifeng bent his bow and set his arrow again, this time he used a tiger-tooth arrow.
Zhuo Yifeng fully drew the bow, and let go suddenly. The snow-white tiger-toothed arrow rubbed against the air and brought out red sparks, directly blasting one of them's head.
With a puff, there was no **, no blood, and what burst out from the man's head was actually black air.
The man's headless body fell to the ground, and the black air continuously poured out from his neck, gradually permeating the entire camp, enveloping the eight people.
"Ahem, why is there such a big black fog? I'm about to wake up, cough, cough." One of the eight guys who slept like dead pigs finally woke up, and coughed continuously.
"What's going on, cough, cough, cough." The person who woke up also began to cough non-stop.
"Cough cough cough, I can't breathe, cough cough cough."
Those eight people made a cry of pain at the same time.
"No, this mist is poisonous." As soon as Yun Ruoyan and the others came into contact with the mist, they noticed something strange and retreated immediately.
While retreating, Yun Ruoyan took out the detoxification pill and distributed it to Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng.
The three of them returned to the place where they camped at an extremely fast speed, took Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen and ran towards the opposite direction filled with black mist, and it took half a stick of incense before they stopped to breathe heavily.
Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen didn't know the situation yet, they were just being dragged and ran wildly. Now that there was finally a gap, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but gasped curiously and asked, "What's the situation? They were attacked by a fierce beast. Isn't there no monsters in the Kongming Mountains?"
"It's not a monster, it's poisonous gas." Yun Ruoyan said, she told Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingchen what happened just now.
Yun Ruoyan has never seen this kind of situation before, how can a good person keep venting black air outside? And that black air is still poisonous!
Yun Ruoyan asked Jiujiu in her mind, but before Jiujiu could answer, she heard Lin Qingchen say, "I once saw a kind of medicine man in a book that was very similar to what you said."
Lin Qingchen said that the appearance of the medicine men is usually the same as that of ordinary people, but their will is controlled by their masters.
Their masters are also their creators, and their masters usually use them to poison. If the druggist is killed, he will release poisonous gas and die with the people.
After Lin Qingchen finished speaking, Jiujiu added in Yun Ruoyan's mind that besides the medicine man, there is another situation, that is, the demon puppets, and it is said that the demon puppets are also in that situation.
But the demons were sealed away thousands of years ago, so it is more likely that Lin Qingchen said.
To be able to refine a medicine man, he must be a powerful poison master. His purpose is to poison horses and not poison people. It can be seen that he doesn't want to make things big. He must have been bought by a certain family at a high price to do this. .
The breath she and Jiujiu noticed should be from the poison master.
"Brother, Zhuo Yifeng, did you notice a powerful aura that appeared and disappeared just now?" Yun Ruoyan asked.
Yun Moxiao and Zhuo Yifeng looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Yun Ruoyan was even more surprised, why both herself and Jiujiu felt it, but Yun Moxiao didn't. It should be easier to notice that Yun Moxiao's cultivation base is higher than hers.
"Why don't we go back and have a look." Lin Qingchen said suddenly, "I've only seen the medicine man in books, and I really want to see it with my own eyes."
"I'm also a little curious." Lin Qingxue answered, she had cultivated her courage in the small bamboo garden during this time.
When the sun came out and the fog had almost cleared up, a few people went back to check. I saw that the eight people and the eight horses were all poisoned to death without exception, and their gums were bleeding, their eyes were wide open, and their eyeballs were turning blue.
Neither Lin Qingchen nor Jiujiu could tell what kind of poison it was. In Jiujiu's words, new types of poisons were invented every day in this world, and this was probably a new type of poison.
Lin Qingchen used a silver needle and a porcelain bottle to take some blood from one of them for future research. The few people did not bury the eight corpses, but were going to go to Kongming Academy to report this matter to Kongming Academy so that they could investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.
Originally, they thought they could get a few horses, but now there was no hope at all, and they could only continue to walk at a fast pace. It is now the third day, and the day after tomorrow is the deadline, seeing that they will not be able to make it, at night they decided to let Yun Moxiao take Yun Ruoyan to leave at dawn.
Although Yun Moxiao can control the sword, but the control of the sword consumes a lot of spiritual power, and he has to rest on the way, so the two of them have to start early.
When the next day was just dawn, the two got up and were ready to go.
Just as Yun Moxiao raised his yellow sword light, the sound of a large team of horses running suddenly came from a distance, and they all looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
If there is really no other way, you can only grab it.
Yun Moxiao put away the sword light, and they just stood in the middle of the road. The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and after a while, the horse team appeared at the bend of the valley in the distance.
Yun Ruoyan frowned, because she saw people she hated in the cavalry, Pei Ziao and Wang Meng.
How did these two get together
What makes Yun Ruoyan even more strange is that Wang Meng obviously didn't participate in the trial of the Royal Secret Realm, how could he appear here? Could it be that he came here to give someone off like Yun Moxiao
Wang Meng rode at the front, obviously the leader of the team, and Pei Ziao followed behind him.
Yun Ruoyan glanced at the rest of the cavalry, except for Pei Ziao, she was not familiar with anyone, and there was no difference between the costumes of the Li Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom, so it was impossible to tell whether they were from the Yue Kingdom or the Li Kingdom from the clothes.
The sight of more than a dozen fireworks horses galloping forward is quite spectacular.
Yun Moxiao stood in front of the group of people, Zhuo Yifeng also had an arrow on his bow, and Yun Ruoyan was ready to call out the Flying Demon Blade at any time.
Although there were many opponents, in terms of strength, Yun Ruoyan had the upper hand. If the horse team does not stop, they will attack it immediately, neither killing nor fighting, and immediately rushing away after grabbing four horses.
Fortunately, when Wang Meng saw Yun Ruoyan and the others from a distance, he raised his hand to signal the horse team to slow down, and before they reached them, the horse team stopped.
Wang Meng rode his horse and walked up to a few people. He looked at Yun Ruoyan and asked, "Princess Yu, why don't you hurry, what are you doing here?"
"Don't call me Princess Yu." Yun Ruoyan looked up at Wang Meng and said, "I'm not yet."
"My lord, we were plotted against by someone, and all our mounts were poisoned to death. We have been walking for two days now."
Yun Ruoyan had already told Yun Moxiao about the fight agreement before, so Yun Moxiao knew about Wang Meng, and Yun Moxiao also met Wang Meng at the Four Kingdoms Auction House in Yuelu Mountain Villa.
But Wang Meng has never seen Yun Moxiao.
"May I ask what your name is for this young master?" Wang Meng looked at Yun Moxiao and asked.
"This is Yun Moxiao, Yun Ruoyan's older brother." Yun Moxiao introduced himself.
"So it's King Yu...Miss Yun's elder brother, nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Wang Meng immediately cupped his fists and said, if he hadn't heard Yun Ruoyan mention this person a long time ago, Yun Moxiao wouldn't find him annoying.
Yunmoxiao returned the salute by cupping his fists. He said: "If we have been walking without horses, we may not be able to catch up with the trial of Kongming Academy. I wonder if we can borrow three horses from Mr. Wang."
"Why not?" Wang Meng said very straightforwardly.
Wang Meng's answer without hesitation was beyond the expectation of Yun Ruoyan and the others. When they were still a little dazed, Wang Meng had already asked the people behind him to give Yun Ruoyan and the others four firework horses.
"Thank you!" Yun Moxiao and Yun Ruoyan clasped their fists together to thank them, then got on their horses and set off with Wang Meng's team.
Due to the urgency of time and without too much nonsense, the horse team immediately set off in the direction of Kongming Academy.
At noon, everyone also rode on horseback to eat dry food, and after another afternoon of running wildly, the horse team stopped and set up camp until night fell and could not go on the road.
Yun Ruoyan and the other five raised a bonfire and rested aside.
Pei Ziao finally no longer clings to Yun Ruoyan as before, but his eyes still fall on her from time to time, Yun Ruoyan just pretends that he doesn't exist.
Now Yun Ruoyan is focusing on Wang Meng, why does he appear here
