Chapter 17 The Killing Game
The morning wind is waning and the moon is waning, but the red maples are not yet red.
Somewhere in the valley, a black crow was lying on an ordinary red maple tree.
The crow flapped its wings angrily and croaked on the tree, seeming to be very displeased with the uninvited guest under the tree.
This uninvited guest didn't even look at the crow, but narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at a corpse on the ground.
This corpse was wearing a yellow robe with a green dragon embroidered on the collar. It was clearly an elite member of the Golden Dragon Gang who had just left at noon.
However, his Adam's apple was mercilessly opened with a deep bloody opening, and there was still a trace of panic on his somewhat stiff face. It seemed that the person who attacked him must be a master with extremely fast attack speed.
Judging from the stiffness of this corpse and the fact that his blood was not completely cold, he must have been killed an hour ago.
Lin Zhen frowned and said to himself: "It seems that I have entered the combat area. I have to be more careful on the road ahead."
After saying this, Lin Zhen shook his head slightly and prepared to walk away. However, before he could take two steps away, he paused. As if he remembered something again, he immediately turned around and started searching for the body.
After a while, Lin Zhen sighed with some disappointment: "Sure enough, the map of Red Maple Valley on it has been taken away by the person who killed him."
There are four gangs who entered the Red Maple Valley to hunt for treasure this time, and the total number of people is estimated to be nearly a hundred people.
Judging from the Golden Dragon Gang alone, the map of Red Maple Valley was only distributed in advance to the Golden Dragon Gang's own members, but none of the martial arts masters they invited were distributed. This was not an oversight by the Golden Dragon Gang, but a deliberate move.
of.
After all, the Red Maple Valley is so huge that it is simply impossible to search by one person alone. Then everyone can only spread out and search for different areas. So the four gangs search from four different places, which is okay.
It is said to be a disguised form of cooperation.
Those who have a map will rush to the target location, and after searching the area, they will mark it on the map. Then in the end, they will slowly piece together a map of Red Maple Valley, and finally find out where the treasure is.
specific location.
But how can the bloody battle between the rivers and lakes be so simple?
A group of martial arts masters like Li Xianliang who deliberately refused to give out maps must kill people if they want to obtain the "Red Maple Valley Map" and "treasure information"!
Kill those members of other gangs who are hunting for treasures, get different map information, and then compare the locations of the treasures. The more people you kill, the smoother the intelligence collection will be!
Therefore, this treasure hunt is a ‘killing game’ between four gangs!
But this bloody rule is most in line with the gang rules of this world, which is that strength comes first.
If your gang is short of manpower and eventually loses everything, then you will naturally lose to other powerful gangs and lose the qualification for this treasure hunt.
Therefore, those martial arts masters who want to gain benefits will most likely circle around in the valley and kill other people, or even kill their companions in the end.
Of course Lin Zhen knew these things, so after Lin Zhen looked at the direction in which the body fell in front of him, he got up and left the place without hesitation.
In the quiet Red Maple Valley, the ground is covered with thick leaves, and when you walk up it makes a slight rustling sound. From time to time, there are noisy insects and distant howls of wolves.
Tall and thick red maples quickly retreated from Lin Zhen's side, and Lin Zhen's blue robes swayed with his ghostly speed.
Lin Town is heading straight towards the center of the valley.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Zhen's expression suddenly moved slightly, and he stopped as if he was aware of it, and stared in one direction. After a while, the corners of Lin Zhen's mouth raised slightly, and then he sneaked over quietly.
.
Red Maple Valley, somewhere.
Tuotian Ta Xinba, who was strong and fierce in appearance, was staring fiercely at a man in black not far away in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "Tian Xiu, even a guy like you dare to stop me from asking for help."
The road to Tianta Xinba!"
This man in black, Tian Xiu, is much thinner than Xin Ba. He also has a hideous scar from his right eyebrow to the right corner of his mouth. He smiles like a twisted earthworm:
"Xin Ba, even though you have a certain reputation in Qi State, this Red Maple Valley is not the place where you should come. If you know this, please hand over the map quickly. If you dare to say no..."
"Bah! How dare you, a despicable rat like you, deserve to talk to me like this? Where is your inseparable flower picker brother Tian Zhen? Let him stop hiding and come out together!" Xin Ba looked at Tian Xiu with disdain, and then
When he mentioned 'Tian Zhen', a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he looked around continuously.
"Do you still need my brother to deal with you, a common man with muscles but no brains?" Tian Xiu laughed loudly, showing his yellow-spotted teeth: "If you have the guts, just let your horse come over. Why are you chirping so much nonsense!"
Being laughed at by Tian Xiu, Xin Ba no longer cared about looking for the flower-picking thief 'Tian Zhen', but roared: "Seeking death!" He immediately jumped up and covered Tian Xiu's forehead with his palms making a strange whistling sound.
.
"Well done!" Tian Xiu narrowed his eyes, then took out a soft sword from his waist with a 'swish' sound, and stabbed the palm like a poisonous snake.
Facing this sword, Xin Ba sneered and grabbed Tian Xiu's head without dodging. Only a crisp sound of 'ding' was heard, and Xin Ba's palm flicked away Tian Xiu's head.
Soft sword!
Facing this strange palm approaching, Tian Xiu was shocked and rolled to the side without thinking, looking quite embarrassed.
Xin Ba laughed and said, "Today, I'm going to let you, a rat like you, experience Xin's magical power of holding the sky!" After saying that, he strode towards Tian Xiu with strong strides.
Tian Xiu stood up with a gloomy expression, swung the soft sword in his hand and attacked Xin Ba, but within a moment he showed his helplessness.
The soft sword hit Xin Ba's body as if it were hitting a lump of diamond. It couldn't penetrate at all! And Xin Ba's windy fist might just touch Tian Xiu even slightly, and Tian Xiu would be destroyed.
There will be big trouble!
"***, what kind of bastard kung fu, the turtle shell is very strong!" Tian Xiu shouted in a strange voice: "Brother Zhen, if you don't take action, your brother will die!"
Following these words, the grass not far behind Xin Ba suddenly twisted, and then a tall and handsome young man in black appeared. This young man in black had vermilion on his mouth and dark eyebrows. He had always been a handsome man.
The flower-picking thief who made Xin Ba fearful was Tian Zhen.
As soon as Tian Zhen appeared, he swung his sleeves and robe without hesitation, and waved his left and right hands towards Xin Ba like lightning. Suddenly, a black light flashed in the air, and more than a dozen weak and invisible needles exploded towards Xin Ba.
Shoot away.
Xin Ba had been wary when he heard Tian Xiu's strange scream before, but now he heard the strange noise in the grass behind him and dodged aside without even thinking.
But based on his speed, it was obviously too late to dodge! Those dozen black needles had already penetrated into Xin Ba's back without making any sound!
Although it only penetrated a small amount, the black filiform needle obviously contained highly toxic substances.
Xin Ba turned around angrily and walked towards Tian Zhen, but before he took three steps, he suddenly fell to the ground with a black face and vomited blood.
Tian Xiu suddenly let out a weird laugh, stepped forward and kicked Xin Ba hard on the body, yelling and yelling: "Damn it, aren't you a turtle shell? Aren't you arrogant? Keep screaming!"
Xin Ba's eyes immediately widened, and he seemed to want to say something, but he just opened his mouth, and finally his neck stiffened and he breathed out.
At this time, Tian Zhen stepped forward lightly and said calmly: "Brother, hurry up and search for the treasure map on it. Let's go to the valley quickly."
Tian Xiu nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and was about to lean over to search for Xin Ba's body.
At this moment, Tian Xiu's ears twitched slightly, and then he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Who is it!"
But as soon as he said these words, Tian Xiu's complexion suddenly changed color, because above his head, there was a ghostly figure rushing toward him.
This ghostly figure is none other than Lin Zhen!
