Chapter 20 The hunting begins!
In fact, Luo Xiu had discovered these people as early as when he first entered the Baqi Mountains, but there were many warriors who had hunted and experienced in the Baqi Mountains, so he didn't pay attention to them.
But the auras of these people have been lingering nearby, and they are approaching him in a surrounding form, which makes him have to doubt.
In a thorn bush, Luo Xiu completely hid his body. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching from far away.
Not far from where Luo Xiu was hiding, the body of the black-armored wolf was lying in a pool of blood, and an iron-tailed tiger demon that smelled the blood was tearing into the flesh.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in Luo Xiu's sight, "Is it him?"
The man Luo Xiu saw was wearing white light armor and carrying an iron gun. He was the man he saw at the stronghold outside before, and this man even smiled at him at that time.
"Roar!"
The iron-tailed tiger demon who was devouring the black-armored wolf also heard the footsteps. The moment Chen Hu appeared, he flew towards him, his claws and claws ferocious.
"court death!"
Chen Hu snorted coldly, and the iron spear behind him fell into his hand. A ray of light lit up, and the spear broke through the air. With a pop, it pierced the head of the iron-tailed tiger demon directly.
He is a warrior of the Qi Sea Realm who can fight against second-level monsters. He can easily capture a mere first-level monster.
In his sight, Chen Hu also saw the body of the black-armored wolf. He walked towards it. After checking it, he frowned and glanced around.
"Being able to kill the black-armored wolf alone, it seems that this boy is pretty good." Based on Chen Hu's experience, he instantly determined that the black-armored wolf was killed by someone, not the iron-tailed tiger demon.
There were footsteps again, and five more people walked out of the nearby woods one after another.
"Brother!"
"Brother Tiger!..."
When these five people saw Chen Hu, and from the name of Luo Xiu who was hiding in the nearby bushes, they concluded that these people were in a group, and that Chen Hu was their leader.
Including Chen Hu, there were six people in total, and Yuan Dashan, the only one Luo Xiu knew, was among them.
"Did he want to kill me?" Luo Xiu frowned and pondered. After all, Wang Yun and Zhang Hun he killed were originally Yuan Dashan's people. Maybe the other party recognized him when they were at the stronghold.
"Brother, where is that little guy?"
"We followed him all the way here. He should be nearby. Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
"I just killed a black-armored wolf, he won't be able to get far!"
These people talked to each other, and under Chen Hu's instructions, Yuan Dashan went to harvest tiger skins and iron tails.
"Brothers, use people's money to eliminate disasters. Since we have taken the money, the boy must die. Now everyone splits up to look for him. Once his whereabouts are discovered, kill him if you can. If you can't kill, send out a signal. Others nearby People will rush over," Chen Hu said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
"Yuan Dashan, after you harvested the tiger skin and iron tail, you went to look for it immediately. Do you hear me?"
"Yes, Brother Tiger!"
From the conversations between these people, Luo Xiu could probably determine that the person who wanted to kill him was definitely not Yuan Dashan, but the leader Chen Hu.
"From what he means, it seems that someone hired them to kill me..." Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed. If there was someone who had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death, the one with the greatest suspicion should be Zhang Hai. .
That Zhang Hai was beaten into a cripple by him, he had the greatest possibility.
"I am a student of the Martial Hall, and I am protected by the Martial Hall. These guys actually dare to accept the task of killing me. It shows that they are all desperadoes who want money rather than their lives."
Luo Xiu spread his senses and found that those people, including Chen Hu, had dispersed and searched the area from different directions.
Only Yuan Dashan, the one closest to him, was carefully harvesting tiger skins. The higher the integrity of the tiger skins, the more valuable they were.
Soon, Luo Xiu had an idea in his mind, and rushed out of the bushes as fast as he could, heading straight for Yuan Dashan next to the body of the iron-tailed tiger monster.
"who?"
When Yuan Dashan heard the movement, he reacted instantly and quickly picked up the double ax next to him.
"It turns out it's you!" Yuan Dashan's pupils shrank. The other person was wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat. It was the person Chen Hu wanted to kill.
And this person seemed to have been hiding nearby just now!
"Buzz!"
The light of inner energy lit up on Luo Xiu's body, which was a symbol that would appear only when a martial artist at level six or above of body refining reaches the extreme limit of inner energy.
He knew very well that he had to capture Yuan Dashan in the shortest possible time, otherwise once Yuan Dashan sent out a signal, Chen Hu and the others would come over.
"bass!"
The Qingfeng sword unsheathed and struck directly towards Yuan Dashan.
Yuan Dashan also immediately raised his two axes to block. There was a clang sound, and sparks flew everywhere. Yuan Dashan took three steps back, his mouth numb.
"What a strong force!" Yuan Dashan exclaimed in his heart. He was at the eighth level of body refining. He could knock him back with just one encounter. He was at least a master at the ninth level of body refining.
"It's a prick, I'm going to send a signal for Chen Hu and the others to come over." Yuan Dashan threw away an axe, reached into his arms, and took out a small red bamboo tube.
But at this moment, his movements stopped abruptly, because a sword was already placed across his neck.
"If you dare to send a signal, I will cut off your head." Luo Xiu said coldly. He knew that the small red bamboo tube was similar to a firework. As long as the mechanism was opened, a signal light bomb could be sent into the sky.
The cold light of the sword's blade felt like it was stuck in his throat. Yuan Dashan felt a stinging pain in his neck, and his skin had been cut.
At this moment, he felt a bone-chilling coldness. The opponent's speed was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to send a signal.
Yuan Dashan nodded quickly and threw away the signal transmitting device in his hand. He knew very well that his life depended on the other person's thoughts.
"Let me ask you, who asked you to kill me?" Luo Xiu asked in a deep voice.
"Whoosh!"
A ray of cold light flew towards him, and before Yuan Dashan could speak, a silver-white arrow pierced his heart directly from behind.
Luo Xiu's expression changed. He had just focused on Yuan Dashan, so he didn't notice anyone nearby in advance.
Yuan Dashan's eyes widened, he looked down at the arrow that pierced his body, and blood was pouring from his mouth.
He felt that his consciousness was getting blurry. Before he completely fell into the darkness of death, Chen Hu's voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Boy, I knew you were hiding nearby!"
"Bang!" Yuan Dashan's body fell into a pool of blood.
Suddenly, Luo Xiu didn't need to let go of his life sense, and he saw figures walking out of the trees.
The leader was Chen Hu, and there were three more people beside him, and an archer was hidden not far away.
Luo Xiu understood in an instant that Chen Hu asked Yuan Dashan to harvest tiger skins and iron tails purely as bait.
After thinking about this, Luo Xiu turned around and ran away without saying a word.
"Whoosh!"
The silver arrows flew forward, like silver horses, at extremely fast speeds.
While running and leaping, Luo Xiu moved his steps sideways, and his speed was not affected much, so he avoided the arrow attack.
"Chase me!" Chen Hu gave an order, and everyone under his command immediately dispersed and chased Luo Xiu in an encirclement manner.
"Kick! Kick! Kick!..."
Speeding through the jungle, Luo Xiu was as fast as a leopard, and his movements were as sharp as an ape. With the step-by-step skills of the Dacheng Realm, even Chen Hu of the Qi Sea Realm was unable to match his speed.
Only the arrows shot by the archer made Luo Xiu have to be careful, because the strength of this archer was much more powerful than that of Zhang Hun.
"Damn, running so fast?"
Chen Hu's face was ashen, and in his sight, Luo Xiu's figure became farther and farther away, becoming increasingly blurry.
It is true that he is a martial artist in the Qi Sea Realm, but he is not good at body speed.
However, he is not worried that Luo Xiu and others will be in trouble after he escapes, because the other party does not have any evidence, and even if he goes to the Martial Palace to report, it will not be a big deal.
In a hidden bush, Luo Xiu stopped. In his perception, Chen Hu and the others would not be able to catch up in a short time.
"Who wants to kill me? How did Chen Hu know that I was hiding nearby?" Luo Xiu's heart was full of doubts.
Regarding the first question, Luo Xiu felt that the Zhang family was the most suspicious. As for the second question, Luo Xiu felt that he should have left some traces. With Chen Hu’s rich jungle experience, he determined that he was hiding nearby. As for the specific details, He couldn't confirm where it was hidden, so he asked Yuan Dashan to be the bait.
Within the range of perception, the life aura belonging to the human warriors was unusually eye-catching. The five opponents spread out to search the area. They were not far from each other and could rescue each other if something happened.
"Among these five people, only Chen Hu is at the Qi Sea level, and the others are at the ninth level of body refining. Maybe I can defeat them all!" Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with fierceness.
Since the other party came to kill him, he would naturally not be polite. For example, Wang Yun and Zhang Hun in Shuiwu Mountain, he also killed them neatly!
The special ability of life perception allows Luo Xiu to avoid the monsters dormant in the mountains and forests even if he travels quickly through the jungle. However, people like Chen Hu cannot completely avoid them even if they are experienced.
According to the strength of the life breath, Luo Xiu first locked onto one, then hid his body and approached cautiously.
"My God, a boy at the seventh level of physical training can be so difficult to deal with."
A thin man with a scar on his face was walking in the forest, holding a knife in his hand and cursing.
"hiss!……"
Suddenly, the figure of the scarred man stopped abruptly, and his eyes were fixed on the trunk of a big tree in front of him. There was a python as thick as a bowl, swallowing its core and staring closely at him.
With a cold snort from the corner of his mouth, the scarred man rushed over quickly. The sword flashed past, and the python's head flew up and rolled far away. The snake's body fell from the tree.
This python is just an ordinary first-level monster. With his ninth-level body refining strength, he can kill it easily.
The tip of the knife poked at the snake, and the scarred man took out a snake gallbladder.
At this moment, he felt a strong and dangerous aura, and the hairs on his back stood on end. He immediately instinctively swung the knife and slashed behind him.
"Qiang!"
The sound of the impact of iron and stone echoed in the forest. The scarred man's jaw went numb and he involuntarily took two steps back.
But then, a ray of sword light pierced his body. Before he died, the scarred man's eyes were full of fear. He couldn't imagine why a boy at the seventh level of body refining could be so fast.
"The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is speed. This sentence is indeed true."
Luo Xiu pulled the sword out of the opponent's body, blood drops dripping down the blood groove of the sword blade, his eyes were filled with coldness.
In just over three months, one after another things happened to him. Not only his body, but his mind was also undergoing some kind of transformation.
Without even the slightest pause, Luo Xiu quickly left here. With the Dacheng Realm's step-by-step skills and his ability to sense life, he had the absolute initiative in this hunt!
Unconsciously, it was not yet late at night, but the sky was getting dark, and then a bolt of thunder streaked across the sky, and heavy rain poured down.
Dark clouds rolled in, and the jungle was shrouded in darkness.
"puff!"
The Qingfeng sword once again cut the throat of a ninth-level body refining warrior. Luo Xiu said expressionlessly, "The hunting has just begun!"
