Chapter 53: The Tiger Lands

The light of the sword, like a lightning bolt, was pulled out from the scabbard and slashed at the black panther in front of him. Although the black panther jumped back reflexively in an instant, it was still cut by the light of the sword, and the front limbs bleed, and then staggered. After taking a few steps back, he stabilized his body.

Once the shot was made, the swordsman stopped staying, quickly followed with his footsteps, slightly pressed the handle of the knife, adjusted the direction while running, and then slashed diagonally, so that he could not only attack, but also block the sudden attack of the black panther. .

In the face of this incomparably experienced swordsman, this black panther obviously suffered a loss. It made a wrong step and made a wrong step. Because of the injury to its front limbs, it was a little inflexible in running and walking. After a fight, although it was on the swordsman. A few scratches were left, but more bloodstains appeared on the body.

The dark red blood slowly seeped and dripped from the fur, stained slightly sticky on the grass below, and then slowly flowed down.

"Roar—" The black panther crouched down, walked slowly, and growled.

Just when everyone thought it would attack again, the black panther suddenly turned around and ran into the depths of the forest, disappearing all of a sudden.

At first, the swordsman wanted to chase, but the situation in the forest was complicated, with all kinds of thorn trees and branches covering each other. Even if he could split the road with a knife, his speed was nowhere near as fast as the black panther who could lower his body flexibly and shuttle.

After he couldn't catch up, the swordsman no longer tangled and retreated. At this time, his companion also stepped forward to help him deal with the wound. First, he washed it with wine and then wrapped it with a bandage.

Seeing that the two were gradually finishing their work and preparing to set off again, Roland Hill couldn't help but ask: "Is it common in today's situation, I mean such a difficult monster."

After listening to it, the swordsman pondered for a while, and then replied, "It's not common. In fact, we don't encounter fifth-order monsters a few times in half a year, and it's not every time there will be conflicts."

"These monsters also have considerations. They don't have herbal medicine and treatment methods, so they generally don't choose too strong opponents."

"But there are exceptions. For example, the black panther just now, although I defeated it, this is because Miss Jialan discovered its traces in advance. If it succeeds in a sneak attack, I am afraid that I will die in one encounter."

"So, even if there is not much difference between my strength and its strength, it dares to attack me."

"I see." Roland Hill nodded.

"Next time, what about me? After all, I took your money and asked many additional questions."

"Then I'll trouble Miss Jialan." The three of them didn't hesitate, after all, they really needed help at this time.

After that, the four of them walked about seven or eight miles, and it was about to get dark, so they also began to look for a place to spend the night.

They raised a bonfire directly under a big tree on the side of the road, and then moved a few stones between the bonfire and the road.

"This can prevent passers-by from snooping directly, making them a little worried, and at the same time, it can also avoid the sudden cold arrows on the road." Although Roland Hill hadn't asked yet, one of the swordsmen had already begun to introduce to the girl, It seemed that she expected the eldest lady to be very curious.

"Hmm." Roland Hill blinked and nodded, wondering if he had too many problems.

Sitting by the bonfire, a few people took out the food prepared in advance, or took turns eating, so that there was always one person on guard to prevent the sudden attack of the monsters, and if the food was poisonous, they would not suddenly collapse.

Lorraine Hill also took out the cooked beef that was packed in the restaurant at noon, heated it slightly, and the faint sauce fragrance wafted out, and then ate it in small bites.

After eating like this, several people took turns to sleep for a while, then put out the bonfire, and continued on the road with torches, but this time they did not take the main road, but entered the mountains beside the road, looking for a more hidden place. place, and then jumped to the tree to rest without lighting.

In this way, it can greatly avoid being discovered by gangsters to attack at night, and it can also avoid many monsters, which will be much safer.

Sitting in the shade of the tree, watching the three people on the opposite side stay on different trees and cover each other, Roland Hill lamented that these escorts and swordsmen are really experienced, and they are extremely cautious, after all, people rely on this to make a living. Yes.

After thinking about it for a while, Roland Hill also leaned against the thick tree, and then wrapped herself in a thin blanket, preparing to sleep like this all night, so the scene on the tree reminded her of a long, long time ago. , that is, when he just woke up from the forest, he also slept in the tree a few nights ago.

At the beginning, she was worried about snakes and bugs, but in fact it was not that serious. Most of the snakes haunted during the day and rested at night, and there were not so many bugs that climbed the trees.

As the night gradually deepened, there were bursts of insects in the mountains, and then gradually returned to silence, but the sound of bats flying in the air could be heard.

In this way, it was not until the dawn of the morning that the whole group woke up.

"Ms. Jialan slept well last night." The swordsman in the lead came over.

"It's okay." Roland Hill poured out a little water with a bamboo tube, patted his cheek, and made himself a little awake.

"It's so good, let's have something to eat and set off, and try to arrive near the Jiuhuang Mountain today."

Yesterday, the group had walked more than 20 miles, and the rest of the way, if you speed up, you will be able to arrive in a long time.

Compared with yesterday, today's group of people walked a lot more briskly, perhaps because they were about to reach their destination, but this situation didn't last long. Shot in the woods beside the road.

This long-planned cold arrow is not an ordinary arrow. It is smeared with special liquid medicine. One of the three people can't react in time.

, one person escaped, and the other blocked the arrow with a scabbard.

"呲——" The remaining two threw down their backpacks, immediately took out the things around their waists, smashed a large cloud of smoke on the ground, and then dragged their injured companions back, because they could not see clearly, the follow-up arrows Also not shot.

Lorraine Hill, who was next to the three, was not greeted by the cold arrow, and he didn't know whether the other party didn't want to cause more trouble, or simply ignored the girl.

After the three of them retreated to the big tree by the roadside and took cover, one of them took out the potion and fed it to the injured companion. After that, the two drew out their knives and watched the woods covered by smoke vigilantly.

The sound of unhurried footsteps came from the smoke and the woods.

"Brother Lin is careful all the way, and I don't want to keep going, it's a pity."

During the conversation, a strong black man with a thick beard took the lead, followed by seven or eight people, some of them holding bows, some holding knives, and some swinging small meteor hammers.

"Last night, I really didn't know where you rested and slept, and I was afraid that I would scare the snakes and let you run away, so I took my brother forward for ten miles and ambushed you here."

He said with a smug laugh, and seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"I advise Brother Lin to stop hesitating. Your nephew was shot by an arrow. We bought the poison on the arrow from Xuechandong. If you don't give the antidote for half an hour, you will not be able to live immediately."

"If you still want to save your nephew's life, hand over everything, and I won't embarrass you. After all, I'm also a Taoist and I know the rules." He said, and winked at the two men beside him, asking them to People quietly outflanked from both sides.

Leaning behind the big tree, the swordsman carefully examined the wound on his nephew's body, frowned, and then looked at his companions next to him. The two looked at each other with some hesitation.

Although it is not a big problem for the two to escape, if they want to save the life of their nephew, I am afraid it is impossible.

In the three-person room, the two are cousins, and the smaller one is Lin Daoke's nephew. If he loses it, it is not easy to explain to his sister when he goes back.

Just as the two picked up the knives and were about to go out to negotiate with the shaggy boss, a sound came from the road.

Roland Hill looked at them ignoring him and preparing to attack, and was a little overwhelmed. Could it be that he didn't see any threat at all?

"Cough cough." She had to cough twice, and then took a step forward, but soon an arrow shot on the ground in front of her.

"This eldest lady, I see that you are dressed in fancy clothes, with fair skin and no marks on your wrists. You should be from a good background, so don't mix it up, or we will have to kill you."

A younger brother with a bow and two people around him who followed behind the shaggy boss turned around to warn Loren Hill.

"Oh, it looks pretty good, and I don't know where you are from." Several people focused on the three swordsmen before, and then they vaguely felt that the girl's appearance should be very good, even with a veil. It also gives a feeling of amazement.

"I'm actually the helper guard they hired." Roland Hill pinched the corner of his skirt with his fingertips, and said something that felt a little strange to him.

"Ha, did the eldest miss say the opposite? We can guess that you hired three people as bodyguards for the trip, but this time is not an ordinary matter. You, eldest lady, don't participate." He shook his head and pointed the bowstring at the girl.

Of course, they could see that this eldest lady was not of ordinary origin, but they didn't think too much about it. Such a eldest lady seems to be a piece of fat, but it is also very troublesome. If kidnapped, the family will definitely ask experts to come and find rescue. They can't resist it, this is a world with extraordinary power, and the strength and influence of some big door-to-door factions are something they don't want to touch and offend.

As for beauty, now Roland Hill is wearing a veil, so it can't be seen clearly, a few people don't think too much, anyway, no matter how beautiful they are, they can't match the batch of goods they got today. If they succeed, they can take the incense lamp You can play as long as you want on the boat.

While several people were talking, the two swordsmen also walked out from behind the tree and walked towards the black-bearded boss.

"Stop, just speak at this distance." The boss stretched out a thick hand with a black jade ring and asked the two to stop.

"Brother Lin's swordsmanship, I've experienced it before, plus your scabbard's momentum, I'm nervous if you get closer, hehe." Although he said so, he didn't look scared. , on the contrary, there is a kind of complacency in control.

"I can deliver the goods, but how can you guarantee that I will give my nephew an antidote and let us go."

"This batch of goods is sent to Huxiao Jiuhuang Mountain. You don't dare to offend the big sect. They can send any real disciple and they can chase you to the ends of the earth."

"Hmph, Brother Lin, I really don't know what you said."

"That's right, I can't afford to offend Jiuhuangshan, otherwise I wouldn't cut you here." He looked around, and the corners of his mouth cracked into a smile.

"If you go a few dozen miles further, I really don't dare to continue chasing you, but now, after we get the goods, we will leave, and Jiuhuangshan will not care about such a small matter so far from the mountain gate."

"You said it was for Jiuhuang Mountain, but the old man Huang who entrusted you is very shrewd. He is going to take this opportunity to make a lot of money, and deliberately buys most of the goods that go into the mountain and hoards it."

"Those big figures in Jiuhuangshan don't care about the interests of a black-hearted businessman."

After saying this, he asked a subordinate behind him to step forward.

"Time waits for no one, the two of you can save your companions by handing over the things, otherwise don't blame

I hit hard. "

"Stop." Roland Hill saw that the two sides were about to fight again, and finally couldn't help but speak again.

She took a few steps forward, and in a trance of the three blocking the road, she crossed it in an instant, and came to the middle of the two swordsmen and the black-bearded boss.

"Stop first, if you guys make another move, I'm welcome." Although Roland Hill wanted to say some harsh words, she was always scary looking at her appearance, and she probably needed to change into a dragon vein. Only in the form of a shrine maiden will there be striking coercion.

Before the black-bearded boss frowned and stepped forward, fine grass blades flew up from both sides of the road, wrapped around the girl's side, and then shot out suddenly, knocking the robbers' weapons that were ready to shoot.

The tender leaves easily cut off the axe made of fine steel, and the original longbow was also broken, and a few people stood there in amazement.

After that, Roland Hill did not ask the black boss for an antidote, and went directly to the back of the tree to check the poisoned swordsman.

It should be a poison made with silver viper venom and spider saliva as the medicinal guide. It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to detoxify. Roland Hill lightly pressed his finger on the swordsman's forehead and immediately checked the source of the toxin.

After thinking for a while, Lorraine Hill took out a small glass bottle from his sleeve, and poured the light red medicine in it, like pomegranate juice, into the swordsman's mouth.

After a while, the girl walked out of the big tree, only to find that the people on both sides were quietly watching her to rescue her, but did not act.

"Who is this lady?" The black-bearded boss stared at Roland Hill, as if he wanted to see through the face under the veil.

"I won't tell you my name." Roland Hill shook his head, knowing that the other party was still a little unwilling.

She spread her hands, and a breeze blew through the mountain road and the shade of the trees, and then the tall trees above the heads of the crowd bloomed with many small white flowers. Long lines were connected in the wind, flying in the mountains, and surrounded by Roland Hill.

In such a gorgeous scene, most of the people present immediately lost their will to fight, were in awe, and understood that this girl was not easy to mess with, but even so, the leading man still hesitated for a few seconds and then shot.

A roar broke the peace. He pulled out the big sword full of blood and evil energy, and took three steps in a row. After each step, the momentum rose by one level. When he finally jumped and chopped, the sound was like a tiger descending a mountain, and the big sword roared down. Brings a chilling sound of breaking the sky.

Then, there is no then.

I saw that the girl's eyes were like swallows cutting water, closed once and then opened, and the flying petals also flew out instantly, penetrating the opponent.

Soon, there was a sound of mud falling to the ground, and the big man covered in blood sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes were lost, his clothes were riddled with holes, and the big knife in his hand disappeared, only the broken iron fragments all over the floor.

Although the death of the other party was imminent, Roland Hill raised her hand slightly, and the layers of white petals gathered behind her, forming a ring, and finally stitched together into a blurred World Tree pattern under the faint white light.

Even the body that was riddled with holes slowly healed under the light of this soft light, and then returned to health.

In this way, after walking around the line of life and death in just a few seconds, the big man completely lost his previous spirit, and only had endless reverence and fear.

"I'm under Li Hei prison, I disturbed the adults, and I asked the adults to let them go." He immediately knelt down on his knees, and his momentum was completed in one go, and he didn't see any hesitation, which surprised others.

At this time, Roland Hill was standing under the tree, and finally he was able to ask the two sides carefully about the many things about this Hundred Barbarian Continent and the Tiger Roaring Nine Desolate Mountains.
