Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang tried their best to catch up with the team, but they only caught up with the tail end of the team.

“Something’s wrong?

Where are they? "

Qi Tiezui got off Adjutant Zhang's back and looked at the withered and yellow reeds in front of him. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces.

"The reeds here are so dense, they must have lost their way."

Qi Tiezui pulled Adjutant Zhang's arm and said anxiously, "Then hurry up and find him!

Xiao Ning might have already faced that group of killers.

These people actually took action when the chieftain was at his lowest alert."

Adjutant Zhang looked around and suddenly his eyes fell on one place.

The reeds over there are different from the others. The top of the reed is deliberately broken off to form a plane with the stem of the reed, which looks like it is indicating the direction.

Adjutant Zhang patted Qi Tiezui and said, "Master Ba, look over there."

Qi Tiezui moved closer to observe, then lowered his gaze and saw the light-colored pills on the ground.

Reaching out to pick up the scattered pills, Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other, and they both took out the medicine bottles from their pockets.

I poured out the pills inside and compared them with the one in my hand, and found that they were exactly the same. The pills had a transparent texture, and even had a faint pink color when viewed against the sky.

This is exactly the mark left by Chu Ning. As early as when he caught up with the team, Chu Ning knew that the terrain here was no different from a swamp.

So he broke some reeds along the way and threw a few pills there as signs to guide the way.

Qi Tiezui carefully put the pills into his medicine bottle. These were all made by Chu Ning with great effort and could not be wasted!

Then, with Adjutant Zhang in tacit agreement, the two of them moved forward in the direction of the mark without hesitation.

While Chu Ning and the chieftain were on this side, another killer suddenly arrived from the opposite side.

Chu Ning was spinning the dagger in his hand at this time. Facing the approach of the three assassins, he was not panicked at all. He even tilted his head and smiled at the chieftain, "Sister, you must train guards when you return to Baiqiao Village."

Big Chieftain: …Big Chieftain seemed to have lost all the strength to refute.

There were extremely complicated emotions in her eyes when she looked at Chu Ning. She really didn't understand how this child could still laugh.

Chu Ning's head was still tilted towards the chieftain, and his peripheral vision was indeed paying attention to the movements of the three assassins.

The killer in the middle saw that Chu Ning didn't take them seriously, so he took advantage of the opportunity and rushed over with the big knife raised high.

Chu Ning raised his hand to push the chieftain away, raised the dagger and turned his wrist to block, the dagger collided with the blade, and sporadic sparks actually came out.

Seeing this, the other two killers also rushed over, but they did not go towards Chu Ning but went straight to the chieftain.

Chu Ning took advantage of the situation and turned sideways to give the killer in front of him an elbow strike, then chopped downward with the five fingers of his right hand.

The palm strike hit the killer's wrist right on the spot where his tendon was. The killer's wrist went numb and the long sword fell from his hand and was caught by Chu Ning.

Then Chu Ning threw the dagger and stabbed the shoulder of one of the assassins who was running towards the big chieftain.

"what?!"

The killer cried out in pain and the knife fell to the ground.

These actions took only a moment, and two killers fell to the ground, both holding their arms and losing the strength to pick up their weapons.

A cold light flashed at Chu Ning's fingertips, and two silver needles flew out, shooting at the two killers respectively, one piercing the knee and the other piercing the back.

Now the two killers no longer felt any pain in their hands, and their whole bodies stood still, just like the poisonous snakes in the ruined temple before, they were all frozen.

The silver needle was coated with the venom of the poisonous snake, but Chu Ning had also mixed it with his own blood. Although it would not be fatal if it was inserted into the human body, it would make the person lose the ability to move.

The big chieftain dodged the attack of the last killer left and right, and his eyes were deep when he saw this scene.

Although this man looked young, he was very skilled, especially his ability to make people stiffen. The chieftain was grateful to Chu Ning for saving him.

However, facing what Chu Ning showed, he built a high defense in his heart.

There was only one killer left, and the killer's blade just barely brushed the big chieftain's sleeve and missed.

Chu Ning took a step towards the killer, but his body staggered uncontrollably and fell to his knees. Chu Ning gritted his teeth and poked the tip of the knife into the ground to support himself, so that he did not fall to the ground.

The killer saw that Chu Ning seemed to be at the end of his strength, so he gleamed with ferocity and attacked the chieftain even more fiercely.

"Sister, come to me!"

Chu Ning was speaking to the chief chieftain. At this critical moment, the chief chieftain immediately turned around and ran towards Chu Ning.

Chu Ning swallowed the fishy sweetness in his throat, but the corners of his mouth were still stained with blood, making his blue lips look pink.

He gathered his energy and stood up, taking a step forward to block the killer in front of him.

The killer also followed the leader to thank Chu Ning, Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang, thanking the three for leading them out of the swamp.

But those favors are insignificant compared to the detailed tasks.

"Boy, don't stop me, I'll let you go."

This is one of the few times the killer showed kindness.

"If I retreat today, the clues to the person I want to save will be cut off again."

The implication is that we will not retreat or give in unless one person falls.

With one hand behind his back, Chu Ning returned the dagger he had taken from the chieftain to him.

With his other hand, he held a knife across his chest, but Chu Ning was using the knife like a sword.

The killer didn't waste any more words and chopped down with his knife. Chu Ning grasped the handle of the knife with both hands and raised it to block, but his knees were crushed and hit the ground heavily.

Chu Ning frowned and rolled on the spot to avoid the killer's blade that was moving towards his neck.

The killer crouched and swung the knife 180 degrees towards Chu Ning. Chu Ning touched the ground with the tip of the knife and dodged the sweep with a low-profile sword swing.

After landing, he did not stop, but spotted the killer's position and used his backhand to lift the knife.

Using the rotation of the body to drive the momentum of the sword, the right hand holds the handle of the sword in reverse, and the left hand holds it directly below the right hand, performing the "flip over and chop the sword" move.

The back of the knife hit the killer's neck, and the killer's body trembled due to the force. Chu Ning's fingertips flashed with cold light and tapped the killer's head.

The killer froze and fell to the ground in an instant.

Chu Ning also lost his strength, and the knife in his hand hit the killer's back. The killer was lying on the ground, watching Chu Ning, and at the critical moment he raised his hand and pushed the knife away.

A big knife fell next to the killer, shaking up the mud on the ground.

No matter what happened to these three people, Chu Ning would not take their lives.

Chu Ning is not a person who likes killing. Killing to stop killing is in troubled times. This is a world of order and civilization.

After dealing with these three people, Chu Ning felt a little dizzy. The chief chief hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out a hand to support Chu Ning.

"Are you OK?"

The chief chieftain lowered his eyes and saw Chu Ning's hair, soaked with sweat, sticking to his skin.

The skin color was as white as paper, and there was visible fatigue on his face.

Chu Ning did not rely on the big chieftain to exert his strength. He saw the big chieftain's vigilance. If he could not hold on at this moment, the big chieftain might come up and finish him off.

Chu Ning bit his lips until he tasted the sweetness of blood, and then he let go.

"Sister, let's go.

Go find your guard."

The chief chief looked at the three assassins lying on the ground, and there was a hint of questioning in his tone.

"Why don't you kill them?"

Chu Ning slowly raised his slightly drooping head, and the chieftain met Chu Ning's eyes.

Those were a pair of star-like eyes, spotless and as if free from any worldly filth and impurities.

At this moment, the chieftain felt that his words seemed to be blasphemy against the gods.

Because in those eyes the chieftain saw his own face, and gradually he saw the eyes of his child.

The chief chief's long eyelashes kept trembling, and his child's face actually overlapped with Chu Ning's face.

Seeing the chieftain in a daze, Chu Ning raised a smile. It was this smile that brought the chieftain back to his senses.

"Sister... do you want me to kill them?"

Chu Ning asked Shi Yuchan seriously, word by word.

If the chieftain in front of him wanted to, then he would kill her. But afterwards, he didn't want to follow this man and protect him so unreservedly.

These people wanted to kill the Grand Tusi, and there was no problem for the Grand Tusi to deal with them, but Chu Ning was unwilling to put himself in the position arranged by the Grand Tusi.

Chu Ning asked that question just to remind the chieftain that he shouldn't involve Qi Tiezui, Adjutant Zhang and himself.

Even if they just wanted to find out the news about the Buddha, they would be suspected by the chieftain afterwards, wondering if this was a chain of schemes just to get support and help from Baiqiao Village.

There is a difference between actively helping people and passively rescuing people. Chu Ning wants to follow his heart and do what he wants to do.

The chieftain frowned deeply. She didn't expect that those killers wanted to kill Chu Ning without any reservation, but Chu Ning didn't even want to fight back.

Seeing that Chu Ning was indifferent and seemed unwilling, the chief chieftain did not force him and helped Chu Ning leave.

"This is my business, I shouldn't involve you.

Thank you for saving me. I will fulfill my promise as promised."

Chu Ning shifted his gaze away from the chieftain and calmly let go of his arm.

The big chieftain was silent for a while, as if she had figured out the key. She couldn't help but feel scared. She almost lost her umbrella of protection!

"Well, thank you sister."

Then he heard the child's gentle voice, like a breeze, passing by his ears, and at the same time gradually calmed and soothed the hatred in the chieftain's heart.

Over there, Chu Ning and the chieftain followed the direction from which the killer had just come and successfully met up with the chieftain's guards.

"Big Toast, where are we going next?"

"We've lost contact with them. Let's stay where we are and wait for others to find us."

The chieftain gave orders to the guards, who formed a circle around him to protect him.

Chu Ning picked up a piece of reed not far outside the circle and used it as a cushion and then sat on it. Chu Ning hugged his knees with his hands and rested his forehead on them.

After a while, he began to feel groggy and wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang followed the marks given by Chu Ning and found the place where the three killers fell.

The three stiff-bodied killers were still standing there. Qi Tiezui grabbed Adjutant Zhang's arm with one hand, then carefully stepped forward and kicked them one by one.

"This? What's going on?!"

Adjutant Zhang looked down and suddenly saw silver needles on different parts of the three people's bodies.

Then he smiled, "Master Ba, it's Xiao Ning."

Adjutant Zhang pointed at the needle that was almost invisible unless you looked carefully. He had seen Chu Ning take out this needle last night.

I was wondering what the kid would do with this, but now I know.

Qi Tiezui's eyes lit up, "Doesn't that mean they are nearby?"

Adjutant Zhang nodded, and the two began to look around for any marks left by Chu Ning.

Suddenly, there was a series of sounds similar to a mute whistle. The whistle sounded for a while and then stopped. After a while, it sounded again, very rhythmically.

Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang looked at each other, and they both remembered the long wooden whistles hanging around the necks of the people in Baiqiao Village.

“It seems that this should be the contact method of the Bai Qiao people.

They are looking for companions.”

Adjutant Zhang's expression changed after he finished speaking, "Xiao Ning is with the chieftain, right?"

Qi Tiezui didn't understand why Adjutant Zhang's expression suddenly changed. Hearing the whistle sounding again, he showed a horrified expression.

"broken!"

"I'm going to save Xiao Ning, you take care of yourself."

After saying this, Adjutant Zhang turned and ran away.

Qi Tiezui was so angry that he jumped up and down. How could this person be like this!

"Idiot! Wait for me!"

The two men rushed towards the direction where Chu Ning left his plan, one in front and one behind.

As for Chu Ning, he was originally lost in consciousness. It was the white snow again. The difference this time was that there were shadows of trees faintly visible in the distance.

Chu Ning walked towards the shadow in the wind and snow, and heard bursts of whistles coming from the air.

Chu Ning was shocked in his consciousness and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Then he left his sea of ​​consciousness, opened his eyes, looked up, and saw a guard from Baiqiao Village blowing the whistle around his neck not far away.

Chu Ning stood up and walked quickly forward to knock out the guard's whistle. Seeing this, the other three guards drew their swords and pointed them at Chu Ning.

Chu Ning did not dodge and looked at the chieftain behind the guards.

Seeing that the chieftain still didn't understand, Chu Ning just felt a headache.

"Does the chief think that the killers have been dealt with?"

Chu Ning looked at the big toast very seriously.

The chief chieftain was startled by Chu Ning's words, and looked at the guards who were stopping Chu Ning calmly.

Could it be that there is a hidden killer here, or is this person in front of me trying to make me doubt myself so that I can kill him with his knife...

Chu Ning closed his eyes, opened them again and raised his hand to interrupt the chieftain's random guesses.

"Big Chief, there are no assassins among your guards. I'm not talking about them."

The chieftain felt relieved, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed slightly.

"Then why are you stopping us from finding someone?

And you want to frame us for our loyalty?!"

The guard whose long sentry was knocked off by Chu Ning questioned Chu Ning angrily.

Chu Ning only felt that the black in front of his eyes was not black, but a sign that he had fallen into a deep sleep. He really wanted to sleep till death and ignore these people.

“…Who doubts your loyalty?

The killer in this team is gone.

But have you ever thought that, in addition to those killers, we also drove away a group of people yesterday!"

Chu Ning's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. The group of people they drove away last night were...

"Hei Qiao Village?!"

The chief chieftain was surprised and Chu Ning nodded helplessly.

"Sister...you have lured the people from Hei Qiao Village... here."

Chu Ning smiled, feeling exhausted. These people finally reacted...
