After the Immortal Disappeared

Chapter 266 You Chase Me and I Run Away

The tone of Lu Xin, the rock wolf, was full of self-blame. After all, Dong Rui was the great enemy of the entire rock wolf clan. It had finally caught him once, but he let him go!

He Lingchuan looked at its face full of long and thin wounds, one of which even scratched its right eye and almost blinded it. Blood dripped down its cheeks, and it had no time to lick it.

He had to comfort his companions in return: "If this man was really that easy to catch, he wouldn't have become a wanted criminal in many countries." From the experience of the two encounters, Dong Rui was very cunning. If he failed to hit him, he would immediately escape. He would never entangle with the victim, no matter if it looked like there was still a chance.

Such a cautious person is not easy to catch.

It is said that Dong Rui has a small number of demon puppets, and each one needs to be carefully prepared. Previously, a werewolf was missing, and now this ghost ape should be his most powerful weapon, and he must not lose it anyway.

So Dong Rui drove the birds to follow him and find a way to take away the ghost ape.

In this case, He Lingchuan ordered everyone to follow closely.

Dong Rui tried to descend to catch the monkey, but Shan Youjun bent his bow and shot. The arrow head brushed the wings of the giant bird, scaring it to rise quickly.

He Lingchuan glared at him: "Bad!"

Shan Youjun's aim was not bad, but the strange bird had a strong sense of awareness, and he turned over and dodged it at the last moment.

He touched his nose and pulled out two arrows in a row, ready to work next time.

But after being frightened this time, the giant bird refused to fly down again.

If you want to know why He Lingchuan didn't use the special effect of the "one throw must hit" of the floating life knife, it's very simple. The distance between him and Dong Rui exceeded ten feet...

The two sides were in a stalemate and ran for more than ten miles.

The ghost ape could no longer move. He Lingchuan and others could hear its wheezing sound, like a broken bellows. Previously, He Chunhua's guards pulled the ghost eye bow and injured its lungs. Every time it exhaled, it sprayed a handful of blood mist.

If it continues like this, it will become He Lingchuan's biggest prey this year.

Just at this moment, Dong Rui suddenly blew the bamboo flute. The sound of the flute was particularly sharp and spread far in the dark night sky.

The ghost ape also heard it, and suddenly roared to the sky and accelerated again!

This is squeezing the instinct of life.

The rock wolf suddenly said: "Oh no, I smell the scent of grass and running water!"

In front? He Lingchuan immediately urged everyone to speed up.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The giant ape suddenly jumped up while running, and its body shrank rapidly in mid-air, and then-

fell down!

He Lingchuan chased forward a few steps and stopped urgently. The beast Xi Yuyu let out a long neigh and stood up.

Three more steps forward, and it would fall off the cliff.

The cavalry also reined in their horses quickly.

What stretched in front of them was actually a dark canyon!

The flat terrain ended here. The ground fissure was more than a hundred feet wide, and the depth...

It was too dark to see clearly, so He Lingchuan got off the horse and kicked a stone the size of an ostrich egg down.

Crackling, it was the sound of stones tumbling among the branches and leaves.

He Lingchuan listened carefully and seemed to hear the sound of water.

It seemed to be a mountain stream below, with trees on the edge of the cliff and water at the bottom of the stream.

The ghost ape jumped straight down and disappeared into the darkness; the giant bird in the air circled and also swooped down, obviously wanting to meet it at the bottom of the stream.

After all, Dong Rui flew high and saw far, and made preparations early; He Lingchuan and others were not as good as him in this regard.

That's it? Their pursuit ended here?

He was unwilling to give up, so he took out the hook and said to Shan Youjun: "Draw your weapons and follow me."

After that, he jumped off the cliff!

Of course, he would not repeat the mistake of being forced to fall off the cliff by the ghost eye bow at the edge of Xianling Lake in the past. On the way down, he threw out the hook, hooked the branch on the edge of the cliff, and swung away.

Shan Youjun did the same. The others didn't have a grappling hook, nor had they practiced this skill, so it was not good to stand on the cliff and stare blankly, so they found a roll of rope and dangled down, ready to pick up the two people in a while...

There were few big trees at the bottom of the stream, but there were dozens of small trees, and then there was a dense jungle and moss.

He Lingchuan swung twice and landed. The bottom of the stream was darker than the ground, and it was easy to hit the trees if he swung with a grappling hook. Besides, the small trees probably couldn't support his weight.

He and Shan Youjun quickly connected and ran in the direction where the giant ape fell.

There were many strange rocks at the bottom of the stream, but it was dark and dark, so it was not easy to walk.

It seemed that neither of them heard the sound of the giant bird flying up, so Dong Rui should, perhaps, still be here?

Fortunately, not long after, Shan Youjun whispered to him: "Look up."

He Lingchuan looked in the direction he pointed, but saw a protruding huge rock on the cliff in front of him, and Dong Rui was squatting on it, with the giant bird perched beside him.

From the perspective of the two, Dong Rui was busy bandaging something.

It is not difficult to guess that it was probably the shrunken ghost ape. The latter was seriously injured in front and was chased for dozens of miles behind, and its life potential had long been forced out. After Dong Rui fished it out, it was also seriously injured and dying, and needed immediate rescue.

Otherwise, Dong Rui should not have risked stopping here.

He Lingchuan and the others could see so clearly because a light source was lit up next to Dong Rui. After all, he also needed lighting to treat the demon puppet, but this man was still careful and found such a half-high place in advance, so that he could escape at any time when the crisis came.

The two of them lay low and slowly sneaked over.

There were many grass leaves at the bottom of the stream, so they stepped carefully for fear of making noises. When the giant bird or Dong Rui's eyes swept over, they stopped.

After a few minutes of tea, the distance between the two sides was reduced to less than ten feet.

After arriving here, He Lingchuan felt much more at ease.

At this time, Dong Rui seemed to have taken care of the giant ape's wounds. He was taking out a transparent glass bottle from his arms and gently shaking the red liquid inside.

He Lingchuan winked at Shan Youjun and slowly pulled out the Fusheng knife. Shan Youjun also bent his bow and drew an arrow. It was common for a man like him to hitch a horse with a bow and shoot an eagle in the wilderness in the past. He would never allow this strange bird to escape from his arrow a second time!

Perhaps because they both locked onto the target, Dong Rui suddenly realized something. He moved his hands and glanced here.

Can't wait any longer.

He Lingchuan aimed at the focus one last time and threw the Fusheng knife away.

No matter how forbearing this knife is, the blade is much brighter than the arrowhead. Dong Rui saw a flash of silver light in the darkness below and immediately lay down without thinking.

The big bird behind him had excellent eyesight. He stretched out his beak and pecked right on the blade.

There was a "ding" sound, and the tip of the big bird's beak was gone.

It dared to tap the blade lightly, and Fusheng would certainly not be polite to it, but the blade was also knocked away.

The pursuers are coming! Dong Rui shuddered, threw a handful of smoke at the hiding place of He Lingchuan and others, picked up the ghost ape himself, turned over and jumped under the rock.

He had cooperated with the strange bird for many years and made almost no mistakes. The latter turned sideways and spread its wings, carried him on its back, and then lifted him up.

If it flew into the sky, He Lingchuan would have nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, the Fusheng knife spun around and suddenly folded back.

As soon as Dong Rui raised his head, he saw a cold light flashing in front of his eyes. He screamed in fright and raised his staff to block it——

Yes, he just took out his short staff and wanted to give He Lingchuan and others a look.

As a result, the Fusheng knife flew past in a swirl, and even the head of the stick and his fingers were cut off!

Dong Rui shouted "Ah", and something slipped from his palm and fell off the bird's back.

At this time, Shan Youjun's arrow also shot out, directly taking out the wings of the strange bird.

This thing is really alert and can flip in mid-air more easily than a kite.

However, Shan Youjun predicted its prediction, and the second arrow arrived and hit its bat-like wings.

The thing let out a loud "quacking" sound and staggered forward as it slid to the ground, as if it was about to crash.

He Lingchuan and the two hurriedly rushed there.

However, they had only taken a few steps when the strange bird suddenly stabilized its figure, flapped its wings twice, flew close to the ground, and then slid behind the tree!

With the tree blocking it, Shan Youjun's bow and arrow could do nothing. He could only watch the one behind it rise up, gradually fly up to the sky.

Only then did the two discover that its bat wings could be divided into upper and lower parts, just like butterfly wings. Shan Youjun shot and damaged the lower piece, but it did not prevent the upper piece's wings from operating independently. At best, it would only make it less flexible to fly.

This thing was a thief, knowing that it would still be shot down if it took off immediately, so it simply pretended to be hit by an arrow and fell, distanced itself from the two people, and then flew high again.

"Alas!" He Lingchuan sighed as he knew he couldn't defeat him.

Shan Youjun's face turned red. Fortunately, the night was dark: "My boss, I... it was my fault. Please punish me!"

This strange bird went up to heaven and screamed loudly, as if it was a continuous taunt to him.

"If punishing you is useful, if I can bring these three back, I will definitely punish them severely!" He Lingchuan sighed, "Okay, let's go back home. Dad still needs manpower."

The two walked back angrily. When they passed the protruding rock, He Lingchuan's heart moved.

Just now, when Dong Rui was attacked by Fusheng Dao, something seemed to have fallen.

He walked near that location, took out the fire seal, and lowered his head to look for it.

After a while, Shan Youjun shouted: "I found it, I found it, this..." He picked up something and sighed, "It's Dong Rui's severed finger."

What He Lingchuan was looking for was something that fell from Dong Rui's hand.

Just as he was about to turn his head, the sacred bone necklace around his neck suddenly became hot.

Why?

This thing has been silent for a long time. He Lingchuan even forgot about it. Why did it suddenly show its presence again?

The last time it got hot, it was because there was something good nearby.

He Lingchuan circled nearby, determining the location of the treasure based on its temperature changes.

Finally, the toes seemed to hit something, hard and round, and rolled twice in the grass.

This is?

He picked it up from the grass and looked at the light.

"Medicine bottle."

This is the glass bottle that Dong Rui took out earlier. Before he could take off the lid, He Lingchuan's Fu Sheng Dao swung it over. Fortunately, the bottle was really strong and was still intact when it fell to the ground, and not a drop of the red liquid inside was spilled.

Once I got the bottle, the sacred bone necklace stopped, and I didn't seem to be in a hurry anymore.
