Chapter 244 Ancient Tomb Treasure
Chapter 244 Ancient Tomb Treasure
The man was kicked to the ground by Ning Ji just now, grimacing in pain. Just as he got up, he was kicked by Si He again, and this time his nose was bleeding!
When he saw that the person who kicked him turned out to be that woman, a fierce light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He was worrying about how to get away, and now that a woman had come, it was just right. At least he could take her hostage and escape!
Just as he was thinking this, Si He pulled out the dagger she carried with her without hesitation and stabbed at him!
What a vicious woman!
He quickly rolled over to avoid her attack, but her attack followed.
At this time, Ning Ji had captured the remaining man, stepped on him, looked towards Si He, and was ready to take action at any time.
At this moment, the man had been stabbed several times by Si He because he was unarmed. There were wounds on his hands and body, but none of them were fatal. After all, he was a veteran in the martial arts world. Even without weapons, he was not something a girl who was just learning martial arts could deal with.
After a while, Si He fell into a disadvantage and began to avoid the man's attacks.
The man originally wanted to hold her hostage, but after thinking it over, he gave up the idea. He now realized that this woman was using him for training, and her man was watching from a distance, as if she was playing a joke on him. How fucking cruel!
Although this woman's kung fu is not that great, her lightness skills are not bad, and her dodging skills are also very good. It will take some time to catch her, and her man is watching not far away and will not give her this opportunity!
He gritted his teeth and pretended to chase her, but in fact he was getting further and further away from her man. Then he suddenly turned around and fled into the woods!
Just as he was about to leap into the woods, a short arrow shot towards him and hit the back of his head, and he fell to the ground and died instantly!
Si He then stopped, breathing slightly, and turned to walk towards Ning Ji.
At this time, the man under his feet was frightened and kept begging for mercy. He then put away the crossbow in his hand and looked at the group of onlookers who had just arrived behind him.
Those people seemed to have no ill intentions and no intention of interfering. They were just passing by to watch the fun.
When Si He came to his side, he withdrew his gaze and looked at her with a faint smile, "You did a great job just now."
She smiled happily at his praise, even though he was the one who killed the person in the end.
"Please spare me, I'm just a small follower, I was forced to come here by them, I really don't want to attack you."
Si He looked at the man at Ning Ji's feet. He was so scared that he almost cried. Then he saw Ning Ji kick him over, took out a small pill and threw it into the man's mouth.
The man was startled and wanted to spit it out, but Ning Ji kicked him again, and the pill in his mouth was immediately swallowed!
"If you want to live, then be obedient and do what you are told. If you try to escape, you will suffer the consequences of the poisoning."
Hearing Ning Ji's threat, the man felt a chill in his heart and could only nod in agreement.
"Drag the bodies into the woods and dispose of them. Retrieve all their belongings."
Another order was given. The man cursed in his heart, but he could only quickly get up and deal with the bodies of his companions and search their bodies for their belongings.
She fully agreed with Ning Ji's decision. These people were dead anyway, and it was not a good thing for others to benefit from it. Although she was not short of money now, she would not think that she had too much money.
However, she glanced at it lightly and then turned her gaze to a group of people who were parked not far away. There were quite a few of them, more than a dozen men and women, but most of them were dressed as followers, and there were only a few supporting them in the middle.
These people all carried swords and rode tall and handsome horses. They looked wealthy and were not ordinary swordsmen.
At this time, they drove their horses back on the road, looking as if they were just passing by without caring about anything else.
Ning Ji also took a glance and then led Si He towards the horses at the edge of the forest, each of them having nothing to do with the other.
The sound of horse hooves rang out, gradually fading away.
After a while, these people disappeared on the official road.
At this time, the sky had darkened a lot, and the chirping of insects and frogs could be heard from the surrounding bushes. The night wind blew away the bloody smell in the air, and it became much cooler.
The bandit named Liu Mao quickly dragged the bodies into the forest and threw them away at random. He handed over the looted property to Ning Ji and then set off again.
Liu Mao rode one horse, and he led the other horses along. Ning Ji planned to sell these horses later.
Liu Mao led the way with a sad face.
Ning Ji and Si He rode their horses slowly behind.
It's getting dark now, and with so many horses, it's not convenient to run too fast.
We traveled slowly along the way and fortunately did not encounter any bandits or dangers.
The moonlight is good tonight, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the road.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally arrived at the outskirts of the Black Forest, a vast grassland.
At this moment, there were many people camping on the grassland. They were all planning to go into the Black Forest. However, there were many potential dangers in the forest at night. Since they arrived late, they planned to stay here for one night and go into the forest tomorrow morning.
Perhaps most of them came for the treasure in the ancient tomb. There were at least more than ten groups of people here. Each group had built a fire and sat around it. There were five or six people at least and more than a dozen at most. It was estimated that there were more than a hundred people here. It was really lively.
When Ning Ji, Si Hesan and Liu Mao arrived here, everyone looked over and sized them up.
"Let's rest for a night before leaving." Ning Ji said to Si He.
Si He responded, "Okay."
It is indeed not convenient to enter the Black Forest at this time. Not to mention the danger inside, just going in under the watchful eyes of everyone would be too conspicuous.
Ning Ji and Si He found a more remote place to stay. The moonlight was bright tonight, and there were so many people making fires in the distance. The grasslands nearby were quite bright, but there was no need to look for branches to make a fire.
Liu Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't have to work anymore. His wounds were still painful and he really didn't have the energy to do anything. Moreover, ever since he took the poison pill, he always felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell where the discomfort was. He didn't know if it was because he was thinking too much. In short, he was very anxious.
Ning Ji took a small blanket and spread it on the grass so that Si He could sit more comfortably.
Si He sat on the blanket, leaning against Ning Ji, quietly looking at the moonlight and the crowd in the distance.
At this moment, many people were talking in low voices, mostly discussing things in the Black Forest.
Si He glanced at those people and saw that the group of people who had been watching the fun before were also among them. It was estimated that they were also planning to take advantage of the treasure in the ancient tomb.
"Are you thirsty?"
Hearing Ning Ji's voice, she retracted her gaze and turned to look at him, "Yeah."
He took out the kettle from his bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her.
She took the kettle, took a sip, and then whispered to him, "Husband, are we going to follow these people tomorrow?"
These people are all going for the treasure in the ancient tomb. You don't need to find the way if you follow them. Moreover, their main purpose is to obtain spiritual essence, so there is no need to lead the way.
