Chapter 67: The Ghost Doctor (1)
There is a big mountain between [Weicheng] and Guanzhou in the southwest. Because there are many ferocious beasts on the mountain, few people dare to go up there. Even hunters dare not set foot there easily. But now someone has broken in...
With the commotion in the bushes, it was obvious that someone was running in the forest, shadows appeared one after another, judging by the number of people, there should be more than ten people. After they ran past, another large group of shadows seemed to be chasing after them? There were so many people, and in terms of speed, the shadows that appeared later were obviously much faster than the previous ones, and this was indeed the case.
The black shadows running ahead, shuttling through the forests, seemed well-trained, but why were their steps so slow? When they got closer, they found out that there was a woman among them, and she didn't know martial arts. Because of this, they were caught up soon. The black shadows that caught up with them from behind started to attack them from behind, and they soon responded. Four people stayed behind to resist, and the others continued to move forward. Even in the dark forests, their fight seemed to be completely unaffected? Because the other side had an absolute advantage in numbers, and seemed to be very accustomed to the darkness, they soon killed all the four people who stayed behind to resist. After getting rid of the ones who got in the way, they chased forward again...
There is a black shadow running in front, and the woman's wrist is shining. In this dark night, the gems inlaid on the bracelet are very shining. You don't have to guess who the owner of this rare bracelet is.
"ah--"
Unsure of the road ahead, Yin Yin stumbled again.
"Princess!!"
It was Zuo Yu who was running with Yin Yin. What happened? Why were they being chased? They seemed to be running away from someone? Was it the people behind them? And why were there only these few people left?
"Let's go quickly, Princess. They are catching up with us."
“Ugh!!”
Even though Zuo Yu said so, Yin Yin seemed unable to stand up again after tripping.
"Princess?"
Seeing that Yin Yin had not gotten up yet, Zuo Yu realized something was wrong, so he squatted down and found that Yin Yin was holding her right foot tightly with both hands, which showed that she must be injured.
"You guys go ahead and leave me alone."
At this point, Yin Yin could no longer implicate anyone else. From a hundred people along the way to more than twenty who were separated in the middle, now there are only seven people including herself. Zuo Yu and the others have done their best. The assassin came for her, and as long as she died, the assassin would not hunt down other people. Yin Yin knew that Zuo Yu and the others were ordered to protect her. Now that things have come to this, she can only accept her fate. She should accept it calmly when the time comes, and should not kill more people.
"I'm sorry I can't obey your command. I'm sorry I've offended you."
Zuo Yu flatly rejected Yin Yin's kindness. As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Yu picked up Yin Yin. Before Yin Yin could react, he started running with her in his arms. His speed seemed to be faster than before. However, before they ran far, they received a fierce attack from behind. Soon, the five guards except Zuo Yu turned around to meet the enemy. Now Zuo Yu and his men were at the end of their rope. The unknown danger ahead was also a threat. Zuo Yu had no choice but to deal with the enemy right now. Anyway, the number of enemies was much less than before. So while his subordinates were resisting, Zuo Yu placed Yin Yin under a tree and let Yin Yin lean against the tree...
"Please wait here for a moment."
"Xiao, be careful."
At this time, what else could Yinyin say? She could do nothing but cheer for Zuoyu and the others.
"yes!"
After hearing Yinyin's words, Zuoyu became more confident. Whether for Zhou Yan or Yinyin, Zuoyu knew that he must not be annihilated here. In order to protect Yinyin, he must win. He stood up, drew his sword, and decisively rushed into the chaos...
Perhaps they were already accustomed to the darkness, and the two sides fought fiercely. They were not as unfamiliar and confused as when they first entered the forest and could not tell who was friend and foe.
During the fight, Yin Yin could only watch from the side. As she slowly got used to the darkness, she could also see the close-range combat situation. Zuo Yu and the guards were worthy of being selected by Zhou Yan. They were all very skilled. If they had not been separated from the main force and the enemy had not had the numerical advantage, there would not have been such heavy casualties. In particular, if she had not been holding Zuo Yu and the others back, perhaps Zuo Yu and the others would have escaped the enemy's pursuit long ago. Now no matter how much she blamed herself, it would be of no use. Now Yin Yin could only pray for the victory of Zuo Yu and the others. The enemies in front of them should be the last batch, about seventeen or eighteen people, while Zuo Yu had only five people.
Even though there were only five of them, Zuo Yu and his companions were not at a disadvantage. Instead, they fought with the opponent to a stalemate. Time passed quickly and the enemy only had one man left, while there were only three people left on Zuo Yu's side. The outcome was still undecided. After one round of fighting, the two sides had opened up a certain distance and were preparing for the next round.
When everyone was concentrating on the present, a black shadow appeared on the top of the tree where Yin Yin was leaning. The ghostly eyes seemed to be looking down at everything happening below. It might be out of curiosity that he stayed on the tree to observe. However, after observing for a long time, apart from knowing that the two sides were fighting to the death, the only thing that made him care was the fragile figure leaning against the tree under his feet. At the beginning, the black shadow guessed that the two sides must be arguing for her. He didn't really want to know the reason, but just wanted to see which side would win. Now the result seemed to be obvious, so the black shadow took advantage of the confrontation between the two sides and quietly came down from the tree and appeared behind Yin Yin...
