After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 132: Protracted War in the Dark

Of course, Lu Yao knew that the purpose of He Lingchuan and others was to slow down the pursuit, and he didn't really think that a small section of ice road could stop the fierce bandits.

When everyone crossed this section of ice road, Lu Yao waved his hand: "Chase!"

At this time, a bandit raised his hand timidly: "General, the horses, the horses haven't come up!"

How can they catch up with four legs with two legs?

Lu Yao glared: "What are you waiting for, lead them up!"

The bandits had to go back the same way and lead the horses again.

Now the problem came:

People can climb up by stepping on the ice holes, but horses can't.

The ice surface is slippery, and only a few small holes can be used for leverage. Horses are not people, and they have not received special training, so their footsteps are far from being so sensitive.

The thin four legs scratched back and forth on the ice surface, sometimes they could step on the holes, sometimes they couldn't, all depending on luck.

The bandits were also anxious, and they whipped them a few more times, and two horses couldn't bear the pain and pawed their hooves upwards fiercely.

As a result, they missed the target and slipped.

With a whoosh, the bandits behind them were also dragged down the cliff.

The people shouted and the horses neighed, and they stopped at the bottom of the cliff.

The bandits were so scared that they had to look at Lu Yao.

If the horses couldn't walk, what was the point of chasing them? Lu Yao was so angry that he roared to the sky, and then shouted: "What are you all standing there for? Dig the ice! Dig a path for me!"

Dig a path that the horses can walk on!

Fortunately, there are shovels and hoes in the village. For shaving ice, these special farm tools are much more useful than knives and axes.

When the three layers of unimaginably thick ice on the road were chiseled away, the horses were able to kick and walk up. It was almost an hour since He Lingchuan and others escaped!

It was almost the same time it took to break the triple chariot formation! Lu Yao was so angry that he thought more than once:

Did He Xiaogou plan this long ago?

It was too easy for him to fall to death so easily!

The bandits panted and threw down their farm tools. They didn't care about their sore hands and feet. They jumped on their horses and started chasing along the road under Lu Yao's urging.

At this moment, the sun was almost in the sky.

Some people's stomachs were rumbling. They hadn't had any water or rice since dinner yesterday. They were hungry.

They really regretted not taking a few pancakes from the village.

But seeing General Lu's livid face, no one dared to say a word.

Just after running through a small forest, Lu Yao suddenly shouted: "Who's there?"

Before he finished speaking, the axe arrived.

The flying axe went over, and with the sound of branches breaking, someone fell from the tree and broke a leg.

Lu Yao looked over and said, "Aren't you the spy under Lao Pei?"

The man cried out: "General Lu, spare my life."

"Where is Lao Pei?"

The man stammered and dared not say anything.

Lu Yao chopped off his head with a knife, and asked people to search his body, but there was nothing useful.

But at this time, there was a rustling sound in the forest, and something flew over and hit the dead man.

The bandits looked closely and saw that it was a mechanical wooden bird.

Lu Yao was very familiar with this wooden bird. He opened its belly, took out a paper roll from it, looked at it for a while, and then sneered: "The Pei guy wants him to continue to monitor my movements, hey!"

¥¥¥¥¥

"Splash", something was turning in the water, splashing water everywhere.

Then, He Lingchuan actually heard someone coughing.

The series of coughs sounded like choking on water, very urgent, panting, and with broken sounds.

He Lingchuan has been injured a lot in the past two months, and has seen others injured a lot. Just by distinguishing the sound, it can be judged that this person has at least a lung injury.

Then, he smelled blood.

And there was a strange sound below, like someone breathing:

Haha, haha...

He Lingchuan didn't dare to breathe at all, and waited and watched.

The coughing stopped abruptly.

It lasted for forty or fifty breaths.

He Lingchuan thought the man had left. The water began to churn again. Something hit the rocks, making a crackling sound that sounded very strong.

Soon, the coughing sounded again.

This time, the man coughed more violently, as if he had just emerged from the water.

And he said two words with great difficulty:

"Evil beast!"

The voice sounded a little familiar. He Lingchuan felt that he had heard it recently.

Recently.

Was it in the past two days, or a few hours ago?

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and He Lingchuan cried out softly: "Wu Shaoyi?"

His voice was not loud, and it should have been covered by the sound of water. Unexpectedly, the man below heard it completely and suddenly shouted: "Who, who is there, save me quickly!"

When He Lingchuan called out this person's name, he understood it in his heart. When he heard him shouting for help, he guessed that he was not a threat to him, so he tore off a piece of cloth, lit it with a fire starter, and threw it down.

The sparks fell all the way, fell on the water surface, flashed twice, and went out.

But with this little light, He Lingchuan still saw the things below clearly -

He didn't find Wu Shaoyi himself, but saw a black scale armor!

There were three rows of sharp hooks closely arranged on the scale armor, which were hit by the water and made it shiny.

The sparks seemed to fall on the head of this thing, which scared it, so it shook its head and splashed the lake water again. He Lingchuan seemed to see a pair of green eyes.

"Hiss -" He took a breath of cold air, it was indeed that huge monster -

Crocodile King.

Previously, Wu Shaoyi was attacked by a giant crocodile at the lakeside, and both disappeared. Everyone thought that the crocodile king had sneaked away to enjoy a delicious meal.

Who knew that it brought Wu Shaoyi here.

"General Wu?" He Lingchuan asked tentatively, "Where are you?"

He raised the volume and there was an echo. It seemed that this cave was a large cavity.

"In the mouth of the crocodile god!" Wu Shaoyi replied immediately, "I will hold its jaw with a spear. You, you come down to help..."

He didn't finish his words.

He Lingchuan guessed that the giant crocodile had taken him into the water again.

The man below was the leader of the rebels. Should I help him or not?

If I don't help, can he escape by himself?

I'll ask him next time.

Soon, "next time" came.

Wu Shaoyi once again floated out of the water with the crocodile's mouth. He Lingchuan caught up with it and asked while it was struggling: "Where is the exit? How can I get out?"

"You can't get out. There are others outside..." Wu Shaoyi accidentally choked on the lake water, "other crocodiles!"

He then said: "Help me, I have a way! Believe me!"

He Lingchuan didn't believe it: "Do you know who I am?"

"Anyone can do it, even Lu Yao's dog-born one!" Wu Shaoyi shouted, "This is a crocodile's nest. There is no other way out. If you don't help me, we will all die here!"

He Lingchuan thought about it, threw down two more flaming strips of cloth, and lost a large part of his sleeves.

The giant crocodile just fell into the water sideways. With the help of this little fire, he finally saw Wu Shaoyi.

The man was indeed half lying in the crocodile's mouth, with the long spear in his hand firmly against the upper and lower jaws of the crocodile monster. He had to hold the gun tightly to avoid being thrown out in the violent shaking.
