Chapter 21 Prey
In the dim night, a stone man several dozen feet tall was rushing eastward. The huge figure, taller than a hill, was pressing down, which was truly terrifying.
This guy doesn't seem to be walking very fast, but his legs are so long that he can reach them in less than half a quarter of an hour.
Chen Jiu looked at the Wei River behind him, his face filled with anxiety.
They didn't know if they heard a tiger's roar or what, but it was clearly coming towards them.
He was not worried that everyone would not be able to escape, but he was afraid that someone would chase them across the river and chase them to Linlang Fairy Palace.
After all, they are dozens of feet high, and a few steps would cover a distance of several miles. Even the Wei River, which seemed quite wide to them, could be crossed in three or four steps. The distance from the left bank of the Wei River to Linlang Immortal Mansion was about fifty miles, so they could easily walk across it in less than half an hour.
He can't bring this peak-level Ghost King to his hiding place!
How to do it?
He just thought about it for a moment, then said decisively: "Jiao Na, take them across the river and wait for me. I'll go see what this guy wants to do."
Jiaona immediately hugged his arm and shook her head repeatedly, "No, I want to go with you. Let Lao Er take Da Qing and Xiao Qing across the river first."
Alas, I just want to lure that monster away!
Chen Jiu patiently coaxed, "Jiao Na, be obedient and take them away first.
If this guy is bad for me, I will definitely turn around and run. You know, the speed of the Tiger God's true body is as fast as a gust of wind. He will definitely not be able to catch up with me. But it's different with you. I'm afraid we won't be able to escape!"
this.
Jiaona still hesitated and said, "You really won't be in any danger."
My aunt, they are coming over here!
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "Don't worry, I still have Lao Ding to protect me. Lao Ding can move a hundred feet with one flash, and a few flashes can move several miles away. They will definitely not be able to catch up with me."
Hearing this, Jiaona reluctantly said, "You must be careful. I'll take them to the river to wait for you."
Okay, let’s go quickly.
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. You guys run quickly, I'll go over and take a look first."
After saying that, he ruthlessly pulled out his arm and ran towards the huge stone man.
Sometimes, lies are well-intentioned. The reason why he lied to Jiaona was that he didn't want her to take risks with him.
In fact, there is no difference between the Honghuang Divine Cauldron running away with one person and running away with two people.
However, he still decided to face the danger alone. As a man, he should have this responsibility. It is a sign of cowardice to flee alone when disaster strikes. A real man should face the danger head-on and let his woman fly first!
He ran as fast as he could for a while and soon reached the edge of the mountain.
At this time, the huge stone man was only a few miles away from him, and there was a wide open area in front of him. He couldn't rush out and be slapped to the ground like a fly.
He turned directly and rushed up the highest hillside on the north side, then lay on the top of the mountain and looked forward carefully.
When he saw this, he was shocked.
It turned out that there was a dense group of black spots following the huge stone man.
Those black spots were definitely not chasing the stone man, because with the stone man's size, he could turn around and stomp those black spots to death.
The stone man never turned back, which proves that those black spots are in cahoots with the stone man!
What on earth do these guys do?
After a while, the huge stone man came to the edge of the mountain.
At this time, Chen Jiu also saw clearly what was behind the stone man.
It turned out that those black spots were hundreds of people riding tall horses!
"Xiao Chunzi, are you sure Chen Jiu is ahead? We have been chasing him for more than 200 miles, don't lie to me!"
The stone man suddenly spoke.
When Chen Jiu heard his own name, he couldn't help but be shocked.
It turns out these guys really came looking for him!
"Sir, Chen Jiu was fleeing all the way west, and there was a faint roar of a tiger just now in this mountain area. Chen Jiu must be practicing magic or fighting with ghosts. That kid must be hiding in this mountain area."
What a familiar voice!
When Chen Jiu saw the sound, his heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that Xiao Chunzi is the magistrate Wang Xiangchun!
These guys must be the reinforcements sent by Wang Clan of Langya from Yidu!
Fortunately, he rushed over to take a look, otherwise he would have been chased all the way to Jiuling Mountain by this gang of guys.
With so many people, will it be useful to just lure them away?
It doesn't seem possible.
Because this place has been exposed.
Even if they are lured away this time, they will definitely come here to investigate next time. By then, they will cross the Wei River to the west and quickly search Jiuling Mountain.
Alas, when he escaped, he was in a panic and didn't think carefully at all.
He shouldn't have fled all the way west, as this would have exposed the direction of his escape and people would have chased him sooner or later!
What should I do now?
He definitely couldn't defeat so many people. Just a huge stone man would probably be enough to beat him to death, not to mention that there were hundreds of people following him.
He was stunned when he saw Wang Xiangchun directing the men behind him to gradually disperse, as if he was setting up a net to capture someone.
This scene seems familiar.
By the way, Zhang Qian!
He is not the kind of person who is greedy while having his fill. After already having Jiaona, he still longs for the princess.
He remembered the strategy used by Zhang Qian.
"Do you think this princess is the prey? You are the real prey!"
At the beginning, Zhang Qian designed a plan to lure the enemy into an ambush and killed tens of thousands of Yinsi troops in one fell swoop. Even the Yin commander Lu Boyan was killed by her.
Now, if he could devise a plan to kill these guys, he could ensure that Jiuling Mountain would not be discovered by others.
The problem is, he can't even muster more than ten helpers, let alone tens of thousands of troops. How can he turn them into prey?
Oh, right, bat soldiers!
The two thousand bat soldiers under the Tree Demon King should have no problem dealing with these guys.
As for whether people will be fooled if he uses the same trick again, it seems there is no need to worry. Unless people stop chasing him, otherwise, they will definitely be fooled!
Will people let him go?
There is no need to think about it. As long as people find him, they will definitely chase him relentlessly.
It’s unknown, this time I may have to borrow the two thousand bat soldiers under the old demon.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu jumped out from the top of the mountain, pretended to be stunned for a moment, then rushed down the hillside and ran wildly towards the northeast.
"Chen Jiu, sir, that's Chen Jiu!"
County magistrate Wang Xiangchun couldn't help but howl with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the stone man hurriedly chased after him.
Chen Jiu seemed to be startled. He roared like a tiger and turned into a huge tiger, rushing desperately towards the northeast.
Upon seeing this, the stone man immediately waved his hand and shouted, "Follow me!"
"Boom boom" the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the magistrate Wang Xiangchun immediately led hundreds of riders to chase after them.
After Chen Jiu transformed into the true form of the Tiger God, his speed was extremely fast . If he wanted to get rid of the clumsy stone man behind him, he just had to run as fast as he could.
However, he was just pretending to flee in a panic and did not use his full strength.
In this way, the speed of the huge stone man and Wang Xiangchun and others who were riding horses seemed to be almost the same as his. They could not catch up with him, and he could not get rid of them.
Their group was quite terrifying, with a tiger demon king who was fifty or six feet tall and a stone man who was dozens of feet tall, plus hundreds of Langya Wang family masters riding horses wildly . Not to mention humans, even ghosts would be scared to pee.
The ghosts and monsters along the way were so scared that they fled in all directions, not daring to stop them at all.
Although they seemed not to be running very fast, they were actually running as fast as galloping horses. In less than an hour, they had run hundreds of miles.
By this time, County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun had already discovered something was wrong.
He hurriedly shouted, "Sir, this kid wants to lead us to the tree demon king again."
The stone man transformed by Wang Xiangkun said with disdain: "What are you afraid of? Do you think I am really afraid of the tree demon king? I just don't want to suffer losses together with him. After all, our target is Chen Jiu.
Now that we have found Chen Jiu, why bother with so much? If the Tree Demon King dares to stop us, we can just deal with it as well!"
Alas, you don’t know how powerful those ghost bats are.
County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun thought about it and decided not to say anything.
He originally thought that Wang Xiangkun would definitely not be able to defeat the Tree Demon King, but when Wang Xiangkun suddenly transformed into such a huge stone man just now, he became a little unsure.
Wang Clan of Langya's "The Secret of the Divine Earth, Eternal Life in Thick Earth" is not just a few magical powers. He has heard that the real secret book also contains twelve kinds of changes. It's just that they, the side branch, are not qualified to learn it.
This huge stone man should be one of the twelve changes.
Who knows how many variations Wang Xiangkun has learned.
Maybe this guy can really defeat the tree demon king and those ghost bats.
Besides, these eldest sons have been spoiled to the extreme. They are arrogant and domineering and will not tolerate any doubts from others. If he continues to complain, being scolded would be the least of his worries.
He doesn't want to make himself unhappy.
Wang Xiangchun didn't say a word, so naturally the others didn't dare to say anything. The group just chased Chen Jiu straight to the territory of the Tree Demon King.
