Chapter 13 dense fog

Surprised, Zhuo Anjie jumped up a big tree with Ming Huan in her arms, and told her to wait on the tree and not to move.Seeing that Ming Huan nodded obediently, she felt relieved and jumped down to the edge of the cliff! After a few ups and downs, Cao Zhong was already seen. The head of the Puppet Sect stood with his back against a big tree, his hair was loose in a bun, and there were a few dripping bloodstains on his body, making him look extremely embarrassed.Seeing Zhuo Anjie, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted: "Woman Zhuo be careful! Don't come here! There is an ambush!"

Zhuo Anjie acted as if she hadn't heard of it, she pulled out the Bieyue Sword and walked casually. One step, two steps, three steps... the moment she stood in front of Cao Zhong, a white chrysanthemum suddenly bloomed, and a silver light suddenly came towards her from the forest! The Bieyue Sword in Zhuo Anjie's hand vibrated, and the light of the sword had already drawn a huge circle in front of her.All the silver lights that fell into the circle fell to the ground one after another, and turned into silver needles that were as thin as a cow's hair all over the ground. Seven golden arcs flew out from the depths of the dense forest spinning and flying, drawing strange arcs and shooting at Zhuo Anjie from seven different angles!Wherever the golden arc passes, the branches fold and the leaves fall, the momentum is astonishing!

Bieyuejian's sword tip was like a dragon boat on water, it trembled seven times in an instant!Every time the tip of the sword trembled, a golden arc of light swirled out backwards and shot back into the depths of the dense forest!In an instant, Zhuo Anjie seemed to have seven long swords in her hands, and they were back together again. Lin Zhong fell silent, it seemed that after witnessing this peerless sword technique, the hidden enemy also hesitated.Zhuo Anjie waited with a horizontal sword.The opponent was obviously a master of hidden weapons, even she did not dare to enter the forest rashly.Suddenly, an iron ball the size of a human head rolled out of the forest.The iron ball was covered with scales, rolling all the way to Zhuo Anjie's feet.

Cao Zhong's face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Iron Armadillo! Hide!" He turned around and hid behind a tree!Zhuo Anjie's reaction was extremely quick, he stepped back quickly, and flew upside down! At this moment, the iron ball exploded with a "bang"! Iron armadillo, one of the seven killers of Tianjimen.It has always been beneficial for people in the world to use it for assassination and assassination.When hundreds of iron scale armors are combined with the explosive power of gunpowder to form a circular death fan and shoot across all directions, the lethality is simply appalling!

The trees swayed wildly in the spreading air waves, the bark peeled off one after another, leaving large or small wounds on the trees.The withered leaves are like butterflies in a hurricane, after the last flurry, they fall again. Cao Zhong hid behind a tree and did not dare to move. For a long while, there was no sound outside.Only then did he ask: "Nvxia Zhuo, are you alright?" "It's okay." Zhuo Anjie's voice was still stable and composed, but a little tired. Cao Zhong slowly poked his head out from behind the tree, first glanced quickly into the forest, and then looked at Zhuo Anjie.It was found that she was really fine, except that there were bloodstains on her left arm and right leg, and she seemed to have suffered some minor injuries.He secretly praised in his heart: he was able to retreat completely under the iron armadillo, as expected of Bieyuejian!

"Nv Xia Zhuo, the murderer is probably still in the forest at this moment. You and I entered the forest from left to right, making him difficult to care about!" "it is good." Both of them were determined to kill and attack. Now that they had made up their minds, they didn't hesitate anymore. They stretched out and rushed into the forest from both sides! When fighting in the forest, it is most taboo to expose your figure.Both of them are connoisseurs of the rivers and lakes, and they both chose to stop behind the tree between the jumps.In a blink of an eye, the two of them had rushed to the depths of the dense forest.

The light in the forest was dim, Zhuo Anjie leaned on the wet tree trunk and looked towards the opposite side. In the thin mist, the outline of people became blurred, and she finally recognized Cao Zhong who was hiding behind a zelkova tree.Zhuo Anjie raised her right hand and made a gesture to him, telling him to pay attention to the movement around her, and she climbed up to the top of the tree. The needles and leaves on the treetops were as thick as felt blankets, and she gently half-kneeled on them, taking a bird's-eye view of the surroundings. The colors in the forest are mottled and impure, except for the dots of fresh green among the grass, there are large areas of gray, brown, yellow and black.The murderer must be lurking in this mottled area, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to strike.The wolf in the distance let out a mournful howl, other than that, there was silence all around.Murder was brewing in the silence.

Suddenly, a white smoke rose from the grass. At first, Zhuo Anjie thought it was the murderer who set the fire, but then she found that there was no flame, but the smoke was getting thicker and thicker.The thick smoke quickly spread to the surroundings, and soon, within a radius of several tens of feet, it was covered by thick fog, and you could not see your fingers. What a cunning murderer, knowing that he has an advantage, he uses this method to cancel his advantage.Really, it's been a long time since I met such a calm and intelligent opponent.A smile appeared on Zhuo Anjie's lips, she jumped lightly, and landed on an ancient pine that she had already hoped for, and then slid down the tree trunk soundlessly.

What about Cao Zhong?Is it still in the forest?Or have you backed off?Given his temperament, it was quite possible.Raising her internal strength to the extreme, she held her breath and held the sword, walking slowly. There is a blur of white in front of my eyes, walking in it is like being in a nightmare that is hard to wake up from. "Crack!" There was a sound of dead branches breaking not far from him. Just as Zhuo Anjie was about to pounce, his heart skipped a beat, he squatted down, picked up a clod of soil, and threw it out against the ground.The clods bounced on the ground and made a sound, like a person walking quickly.

The mist suddenly swayed, and a very slight whistle passed by her and shot forward! No time to think about it, Zhuo Anjie has already jumped towards the place where the sound came from! Even though she had lifted her spirits and lightened her body, the sound of her clothes ripping through the air still betrayed her.The moment she drew the sword, the mist fluctuated, and the opponent quickly dodged. Zhuo Anjie's sword fell through the air, and with a turn of his body, the sword moved like a dragon, slashing across the ground!The smoke billowed like a mountain, and the opponent jumped out backwards!Bie Yuejian was drawn by the opponent's energy, and he went forward without hesitation, biting his prey tightly, refusing to relax at all.As soon as the two sides advanced and retreated, more than thirty feet had been swept away in the blink of an eye!

With the intuition of a swordsman, Zhuo Anjie sensed that the opponent was close at hand.So with a loud chirp, he leaned forward and made another three-pointer with the long sword!The long sword faltered, obviously stabbing the opponent.However, judging from the feeling from the tip of the sword, what was pierced looked like a wooden board.How is this going? Suddenly, a sharp wind howled from the back of the left head, and went straight to her jade pillow point! With the murderer in front, how could the hidden weapon shoot from behind?Before she had time to think about it, her body flickered slightly, and she had already jumped to the right.After landing, he quickly and silently took two steps. "Chi! Chi!" There were two soft noises from where she had just landed, obviously she had been hit by a hidden weapon. Zhuo Anjie frowned, and carried the long sword behind her back.Although this situation of not being able to see the opponent is exciting, it is really not what she likes.Slowly lowering her body, she pressed her ears to the ground.Under the submerged internal force, within a radius of ten feet, even the sound of mother ants crawling became clearly audible.However, there was still no sound from the murderer. It's strange, it's fine if you don't breathe, why doesn't the murderer even have a heartbeat?Or, is the other party not human at all?Thinking of this, Zhuo Anjie couldn't help but her face changed slightly, and her heart felt cold. Suddenly, a strong wind passed through the trees, and the old pines made a low noise, shaking off the dry frost on their bodies.Under the strong wind, the lingering thick fog finally wavered.The original white chaos gradually dissipated, turning into hazy silhouettes. The sound of the wind disturbed Zhuo Anjie's hearing. She raised her body, put one hand on the ground, and listened vigilantly to the movement around her. She knew that before the smoke dissipated, the murderer would definitely issue a hidden weapon to stop her pursuit.At that time, it will be the most critical and dangerous moment! The strong wind swept away the mist, blowing away the white nightmare one by one.The mist in the high places is gradually thinning, like strands of white gauze, entangled in the forest. While the smoke rolled away, Zhuo Anjie seemed to hear something, so she slowed down and followed the sound. "Crack, creak..." It was a strange, harsh sound, like the friction of wooden teeth. Zhuo Anjie was startled, she had heard this sound a lot in the past two days, it was clearly the mechanical sound made by the puppet in action.Is it just a puppet here?Besides, aren't those puppets only able to walk on the corridor?Listen to the voice, the other party is not far in front.I just don't know if this is another trap set by the other party? After thinking about it, she put the long sword across her chest, and untied the wine from her waist with her left hand, and took a full sip.When the wine enters the belly, the body is warmed up.She looked at the gourd regretfully, shook her head, and flicked it vigorously, the wine in the gourd turned into a water arrow and shot towards the sound! Although she is not good at concealed weapons, under the urging of her pure internal force, the water arrows crackle through the air, and their strength is no less than that of a strong bow and giant crossbow!Even if the opponent is really a puppet, it will fall apart immediately if it is shot by this water arrow! "Hey--" The water arrow clearly hit something, and the splashing sound was clearly audible!At the same time, the fog in front of him was suddenly blown by the strong wind, revealing a rare gap. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aunt Zhuo An finally saw the figure of the murderer. The man was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, and was holding up his sleeves in front of him, obviously blocking her water arrows.As if sensing that she was watching him, the man slowly lowered his sleeves.It was an extremely terrifying face, with no features or expressions on it, only a piece of white, a pale corpse-like white. The mist cleared, and the white face disappeared into the mist again. "Crack, creak..." The weird friction sounded again. Zhuo Anjie was about to catch up, when a rolling sound of bones approached her again.Thinking of the horrible explosion just now, without hesitation, she turned around and hid behind a tree.Unexpectedly, after waiting quietly for a long while, there was still no sound around, and only then did he know that he was cheated by the other party.If people in the Jianghu learned that the famous Bieyue Sword was actually being manipulated in the palm of their hands, they would laugh out loud, right?What will the younger brother say when he finds out?Will you give yourself delicious things like you did when you were a child?Thinking of Yun Jisang's timid look when she comforted herself when she was a child, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing. When the breeze picked up, someone suddenly approached from behind, Zhuo Anjie didn't turn her head back, she just swung a sword with her backhand! "Nv Xia Zhuo, it's me!" Cao Zhong's panicked voice sounded. Zhuo Anjie withdrew her sword suddenly, turned around and asked, "Master Cao, have you ever seen the murderer?" Cao Zhong shook his head: "I'm ashamed, Mr. Cao heard Zhuo Nvxia chasing the murderer just now, he was afraid that you would be in danger alone, so he quietly followed." He looked around and asked nervously, "Where is that guy? , have you escaped?" "Run away." Zhuo An Jieyu put the sword back into its sheath, and said calmly, "However, I saw his face." "Really?" Cao Zhong asked anxiously, startled, "Who is that person?" "I don't know..." Seeing the disappointment on Cao Zhong's face, she smiled again, "It's just that there are no facial features on that face, it's just white." "No facial features?" Cao Zhong's expression changed drastically. "What? Sect Master Cao has an impression of this?" Cao Zhong's expression changed, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "When Wuxin first came to the door, he brought a puppet with him. I heard that he was an orphan since he was a child. He was bullied and had no friends, so he made it himself. He has a puppet as his friend. He treats that puppet very well, and he always takes it with him wherever he goes. One time in the dead of night, Bian’er saw Wu Xin whispering to that puppet, as if the puppet was alive Same." As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, like the whisper of the wind, whispering into Zhuo Anjie's earlobe: "That puppet has no facial features, only a pale face." "Oh? Where's the puppet?" "After Wuxin died, I knew that puppet was his favorite thing, so I wanted to use it as a terracotta figurine and put it in Wuxin's coffin to be buried with him. Unexpectedly, on the night of the burial, Wuxin's coffin suddenly A hole was opened, and Wuxin's corpse and the faceless puppet were gone." "Does the door master say that someone stole the corpse and the puppet?" "Stolen? No, it doesn't look like it was stolen..." Cao Zhong shook his head. "It wasn't stolen, could it be that the puppet ran away by itself?" There was a hint of fear and confusion in Cao Zhong's voice: "That's right, that hole...that hole was opened from the inside out, and, the inside of the coffin was scratched with fingernails..." "What handwriting? Wait, could it be that..." Seeing that Zhuo Anjie's face changed drastically, Cao Zhong paused and said: "The old root of a rotten tree returns to life. Eliminate all my sins and make me live forever. Lady Zhuo had a good idea. The sixteen characters left in the corpse."
