Chapter 834: Separate Paths
Lei Kun listened to the rapid and chaotic footsteps behind him, and quickly glanced back, only to see that Zuoqiu and the others had already caught up, and behind them were Joyce and the others.
It had been a full ten minutes since they had fled for their lives just now, and even if those snakes were crawling fast enough, they would probably not have chased for so long!
At this life-and-death juncture, no one dares to stop here.
At this time, Lei Kun suddenly saw that there were two forks in the road in front of him.
Given what had happened before, he knew there must be danger lurking behind the cave.
Although he had turned evil into good fortune the first few times, it was all "filled in the road" with the corpses of Zuoqiu's subordinates, and if it was only him, I am afraid that he would have become a corpse a long time ago.
Before tearing his face, he still obeyed Zuoqiu's orders.
Even so, this kind of adventurous path-finding thing, with a lot of bhikshus lining up, will not be his turn at all.
It is also just a good opportunity to rest and recuperate, who knows what else is dangerous ahead.
When the people behind saw Lei Kun stop, they naturally stopped.
Zuoqiu, who stopped, naturally also noticed the two-jump fork in the road in front of him, and hesitated for a while.
The master who was about to run out of physical strength saw that there was no danger behind him, and he also stopped.
Now he still has no physical strength to care about the image he usually maintains, hunched over, his hands on his knees, and gasping for breath.
Lei Kun couldn't help but sympathize after looking at it, after all, it was really embarrassing for him to run for his life with them at such an age as the master.
Perhaps it was because he felt Lei Kun's gaze, but the master immediately came back to his senses, laughed dryly, stood up straight, and said a Buddha name, but he was still out of breath.
The people behind him stopped in twos and threes, and Lei Kun was really worried about them when he saw the appearance of Joyce, Bennedy, and Webster, for fear that they would not be able to get up in one breath and hang here directly.
Fortunately, the python behind him did not follow, and everyone had a chance to breathe.
However, the atmosphere here quickly became tense, and the two centaurs stared at each other again, and there was a murderous aura in their eyes, as if they were just waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Seeing such a tense atmosphere, Lei Kun secretly said in his heart: "These people won't fight at this time, right?" ”
In order to avoid harming the pond fish, he took a few steps back.
In such a quiet atmosphere, neither side spoke, but clenched the guns in their hands.
The only people who felt embarrassed were the monks, who had not brought any firearms with them, and if there was a shootout, their situation would be very dangerous.
It's not that they don't use firearms, it's just that Huaxia Country has very strict control over this, and they don't have any power in Huaxia Kingdom, so naturally there is no way to buy firearms.
The reason why they have the courage to be here is all because of their own kung fu, but if they are faced with cold guns, they really have no power to fight back.
The atmosphere became more and more solemn, as if a major war was about to break out.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo".
This sudden sound came into everyone's ears, and although they only heard it, they could also know which python must have chased after them.
As a result, the atmosphere on both sides has eased considerably.
Lei Kun was the first to turn around and flee, he didn't want to die after the chaotic battle.
They were followed by a group of monks who were "powerless".
It can be seen that Lei Kun is the one who has gone all the way with them.
When Lei Kun and Master Bu left with a kind of bhikshu, Zuo Qiu also hesitated.
Even if he can do his best to kill Joyce and the others, he may not be able to escape with his whole body, rather than this, it is better to maintain the situation at this time and look for opportunities in the future.
Thinking of this, Zuoqiu led people to stare at Joyce and the others, slowly retreated, and followed Lei Kun.
Bennedy and Webster exhaled, the two of them were really afraid of the battle just now.
The two of them looked at Joyce at the same time and quickly asked, "What should I do?" Do you want to keep up? ”
"With what? Even if you keep up, can you kill it? When the time comes, I won't help them with the queen of the palace. Joyce scolded and looked down the other aisle, "Let's go this way." ”
Joyce spoke, and the crowd didn't hesitate and quickly ran to the other side.
However, as they left, Joyce gave his men a look, and the two mercenaries immediately understood.
When Joyce and the others turned to leave, the two of them did not follow, but stayed where they were, as if to arrange for the evacuation of personnel.
The sparse procession was forced by the constant terrifying sounds of the python to finally enter the cave.
The two mercenaries left behind exchanged glances, daggers appeared in their hands, and they rushed towards the last two.
Such a sudden attack caught the two of them off guard, but they were covered by the mercenary, and they could only make a "hmm" sound, but the sound would only make the person in front of them run faster.
In just a few seconds, the two lost their lives, and the mercenary put the body at the entrance of the cave where Lei Kun and the others had fled, and then stabbed more than a dozen times, until the blood flowed all over the ground, and the mercenary quickly left.
If Zuoqiu knew that Joyce would be so despicable, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let them go so easily just now.
When the entrance of the cave was quiet again, a python covered in blood finally appeared, its erected pupils looked even more hideous and terrifying, and there were dozens of pythons about one meter around this python.
They searched for the smell of blood all the way, and finally found the two corpses on the ground, and then chased them in the direction where Lei Kun and the others left.
Lei Kun and the others ran for more than ten minutes, and this time most of them were already physically exhausted, and Zuoqiu had to order everyone to rest.
Lei Kun frowned secretly as he looked at the extremely dark passage in front of him, and it seemed to have no end.
In this case, it is not known how long it will take to find what Zuoqiu wants.
But...... Until then, it is hoped that the food and fresh water they carry will be sufficient.
Lei Kun's worries are not unreasonable, after Zuoqiu's investigation, a large amount of fresh water and food was lost just now, and the bullets have been consumed again, and now the things he carries are only two-thirds of the original.
It's only been a little over a day, and if there's any danger ahead, they're probably all going to die here.
A heavy atmosphere lingered in everyone's hearts, but no one spoke.
Even the monks on the side, they had already lost a lot of confidence, after all, they had lost a lot of manpower just now.
Zuoqiu finally began to feel a little anxious, he knew that if he couldn't find the legendary gem, everyone would die here.
A mercenary suddenly ran from behind, and he took a few quick breaths after stabilizing his figure.
Lei Kun recognized this person, Zuoqiu was afraid that Joyce and the others would follow, so he sent someone to keep an eye on the situation, and if he ran over in such a hurry, something must have happened.
Before he could catch his breath, he couldn't wait to say: "Lord Zuoqiu, the python is chasing after you again, and there are dozens of pythons more than one meter long around you, it's really terrifying, I can't stay here." ”
When everyone heard this, the desire to survive swept away the tiredness on their bodies, and under Zuoqiu's order, they set off again.
At this time, Tang Yu and the madman on the other side ran quickly towards the water source with a few people.
As everyone knows, the two of them will meet soon.
