Who is the world

Spring is cold and misty, everything is still shrouded in misty night, and there are sudden rustling sounds on the quiet mountain path.

In the thin water mist, two figures could be vaguely seen running straight forward without stopping. The dew dripped on their robes as they hurriedly walked, adding to the chill.

Suddenly, one person's steps were slightly stagnant, and the people around him immediately noticed: "Have you had an attack?"

"It's okay. Continue on your way." Chu Yi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, his steps faltered just now and he didn't pause again.

Seeing this, Xu Zixu didn't say much, and continued to run at the same speed as he started. When he inadvertently looked back, he was surprised to see the flames rising from the far side and rear, which was the direction of the inn.

"It really happened."

Chu Yi laughed softly: "If I were the other party, I wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity."

"They can't find anyone, and they will definitely set up murderous opportunities along the road. Next, they must be more cautious."

Chu Yi hummed, but didn't say anything, the night covered the cold sweat on his brow, but he still endured it, and followed the footsteps of the people around him, never falling a cent.

Before midnight, the two of them quietly left the inn, left the small town overnight, abandoned the official road, and went straight into the dense forest. They have driven for more than half an hour, but there is no guarantee that the enemy will not catch up.

The situation of both of them is not optimistic. Xu Zixu's hands have not recovered yet, and Chu Yi's skill is only [-]% left. What's worse is the cold and fever that will inevitably break out at night. If he encounters an enemy...

Although Chu Yi claimed to be fine, but Xu Zixu declared from his increasingly heavy and unsteady breathing that Bai Qi was just trying to hold on. As expected, his breathing became disordered in just a moment, and he couldn't help but turned his head to look. , knowing something was wrong, just about to speak, but saw the slender figure beside him collapsed.

"Chu Yi!" He couldn't help but move his footsteps and quickly stretched out his arms to catch him, barely embracing him, preventing him from falling directly into the dust.

Chu Yi stretched out his hand as if to push away the arm that was holding his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay." Struggling to stand up again, he pushed twice but failed, and then his body twitched slightly involuntarily, His head tilted slightly, and fell back into Xu Zixu's arms.

Xu Zixu lowered his eyes and saw that the eyes of the person in his arms were closed, his lips were slightly parted, his face was flushed abnormally, obviously he had completely lost consciousness.

According to this situation, it is impossible to continue on the road, especially through the thick clothes in his arms, he can almost feel his scorching temperature. The most important thing at present is to cool him down.

Xu Zixu looked around, as far as he could see, there was only an endless forest under the mist, and there was no cave for temporary shelter, but staying on the road was absolutely not advisable.

Without any hesitation, he evaded his wrist and hugged him horizontally with his arms, walked into the dense forest in three or two steps, placed him lightly under a big tree, let him half lean on the thick trunk, and clumsily slipped from Chu Yi's arms He took out a porcelain bottle, took two pills, and forcefully forced the unconscious person to swallow them, then got up and took off his cloak and hung it on the branch above his head, letting it hang down just enough to block most of the cold wind for the people under the tree .

Reaching out to touch Chu Yi's forehead lightly, it was indeed scalding hot, and her hair wet with cold sweat was tightly attached to her forehead and cheeks, making her look a little more fragile.

The climate in early spring in the north was still harsh, especially at night, but the chill could not cool down Chu Yi's high body temperature.

Facing an uncertain future, Xu Zixu knew that he should preserve his internal energy for emergencies, but if he let Chu Yi ignore it, he might cause permanent damage. Seeing the uncomfortable appearance of that person unconsciously tossing and turning, he finally stuck his hand to Chu Yi. On the opponent's chest, use internal force to help him resist the residual poison in his body.

However, things in the world are often not as expected. Within three moments, there was a faint sound coming from outside the forest. Xu Zixu concentrated on distinguishing, and it seemed that there were more than ten or twenty people. He was startled, realized that something was wrong, and pushed the unconscious person. Still no response.

There was a faint whine that sounded like a dog in the forest. Xu Zixu put his hands away, stood up in horror, stared at a certain direction, and listened more carefully. The enemy even brought hunting dogs. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were found.

There is no doubt that there is only one target of the enemy.

He looked down at the person on the ground. With his current fragile posture, he was absolutely powerless to fight back. If he were to kill him at this moment, it would be as easy as flipping the palm of his hand...

And he doesn't have to do it himself, someone will do it for him.

A character like Chu Yi with both wisdom and courage must be ambitious after all...

It's just that some people are outgoing, flamboyant and arrogant; but he is very introverted, covering up his ambitions almost flawlessly. In comparison, the latter is undoubtedly smarter and more difficult to deal with.

Xu Zixu leaned down again, and stretched out his fingertips to gently stroke the side of Chu Yi's neck. The pulsation under the fingertips was powerful but fragile. With a little effort, blood would spurt out.

The comatose person was unaware of all this, only his gradually heavy breathing showed his suffering at the moment.

The last time I didn't make a move was because the timing was not ripe after all, and it was later proved that this man was still hiding his tricks. This time, it was a truly golden opportunity.

At this moment, he doesn't need to get blood on his hands, he just needs to move away from him.

Xu Zixu lowered his head slightly, and a few strands of hair fell down on his forehead, covering his dark eyes and expression.

He exerted a little force with his fingertips, but stopped at the last moment. The man still looked defenseless.

Such a shrewd person on weekdays, who can count him...

Xu Zixu suddenly smiled inexplicably, withdrew his hand, looked at his tightly closed eyes, and whispered: "If you don't wake up again, I will leave by myself..."

Chu Yi was still motionless in a coma, probably really sad, a few barely audible moans came out of his mouth, sweat slowly dripped down his temples and ears, and sank into the skirt of his clothes.

Xu Zixu frowned slightly and looked at him for a while, then sighed again, and suddenly took off the cloak on Chu Yi's body, and wiped his head and face carefully with it, from top to bottom, inside and out, more of the master's own smell, Then he got up and quickly dealt with the surroundings.

Looking around, he stopped to listen carefully after he was basically satisfied, and measured the distance left by the tracker with his ears. After a little estimation, the smell on Chu Yi's body should not be strong enough to attract hounds to follow him directly. Come, come to this conclusion, he immediately rushed back for a while, and then flew away in the opposite direction.

Xu Zixu looked around while running fast, his calm and sharp eyes quickly scanned the surrounding environment, and made an assessment in his heart.

If you make good use of the labyrinth in this forest, you can delay it for another hour, but the scope of the layout must cover a wide range, and it must be completed in a short time, but this will inevitably consume a lot of internal energy. In the event of a crisis, it may be difficult to parry, but otherwise, the immediate crisis will be difficult to overcome.

The more he hesitated and lingered here, the more dangerous Chu Yi would be.

Since Gu Mu and the others failed to block all of these killers, it has already explained the problem. It is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not be divided into several groups and act separately in this pursuit.

But the most important thing now is that the followers behind must follow him...

Although there is a cloak as a guide, it can be safe, it is best--

Maybe it's the endless road, he suddenly found a rabbit's hole inadvertently during the journey, his heart moved, he turned around and forced towards the hole.

After quickly taking care of the rabbit that failed to escape, he continued to run forward, using the cloak as a guide along the way, and the rabbit meat that was extremely fine and difficult to detect by the human eye as bait. As expected, whether it was the smell left by the cloak or The hound's instinct of appetite for meat was finally tracked down.

Xu Zixu affirmed this point, so he didn't care about it any more, using all his energy to gallop forward, while thinking about his escape method.

There is no river nearby, so it is impossible to return without anyone noticing by eliminating one's own smell, so the only way is to use devious tricks to delay the time until Chu Yi's personal guards arrive.

After a little deliberation, he made a decision, fixed his eyes on a certain point, and suddenly raised his breath and leaped out of thin air, stepping on the trunk of a tree for tens of meters, stepping on the tip of his toes, and then stepping on another tree trunk to continue his leap, while deliberately dragging him with Chu Yi's big cloak. As the branches passed by, a small piece of cloth was torn and hung on the branch, swaying in the wind, as if it was accidentally left behind in a hasty escape.

He let the cloth hang on and did not take it away, and made a big circle in the same way. The winding route created the illusion of going straight all the way, but in fact he skillfully made three large irregular circles adjacent to each other.

The minced meat sprinkled at intervals along the way can attract hounds to go all the way to the predetermined path, while the cloth left by the branches can temporarily confuse the enemy.

In this way, the hounds will have to search for a while. If the leader is not smart enough and blindly trusts the nose of the hound to track him, he may be trapped in it forever. To complete a big circle, this circle, plus the time it takes for the hound to search for intermittent scents, can buy at least an hour or so.

When Xu Zixu finished everything, he was already slightly out of breath, sweat slid down his eyelids, and his eyes became darker and brighter under the night.

He raised his hand to wipe away some beads of sweat casually, and the night wind blew a little colder, but his mind was not on it at all, he only thought about the next steps, turned his eyes, and looked at the withered tree beside him. Tree, in order to ensure that all previous efforts will not be wasted, I directly lifted my leg and split a dead tree trunk, tied it to the calf with a belt, carefully avoided the other end to prevent my own breath from being contaminated, did not take any rest, and did not let go of my breath. He leaped over a hundred meters with his whole life of lightness kung fu, and when he fell down, he continued to leap with the help of the tree trunk under his feet, and then returned without touching the ground or leaves.

With a glance, everything was still the same as it was before he left. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with it, but the faint and shallow breathing revealed where the person was hiding.

Xu Zixu listened intently in all directions, and there was nothing but the sound of breathing.

Fortunately, it was not found.

He walked behind the bushes, without bothering to adjust his breath, he pushed aside the bushes, and Chu Yi lay intact inside.

"It seems that you have a lot of life, so let's go together."

Xu Zixu squatted down, wiped off the increasingly dense beads of sweat for the man, lost some internal energy to stabilize his heart, wrapped the cloak back on the man, and planned to hug him again.

"Xu... Zixu?"

The author has something to say: The paragraph on hound scent tracking has been revised.

A certain person checked the Internet, and it is said that meat can make the hound give up his mission, so he made this quotation...

The ancient dog training techniques are far inferior to modern ones, so I don’t know how to modify them like this now, it’s okay... because a certain person is not very clear about this, if there are adults who understand this aspect, welcome to continue to suggest ideas~Thank you~
