Chapter 292 Snowy Night Chase (Part 1)
In this extremely cold night, walking in the mountains full of thick snow is extremely exhausting.
After only walking seven or eight miles, some people began to sweat profusely, and white steam came out of their heads. But even so, Hei Yunzi's men still dared not slack off, but gritted their teeth and followed closely behind.
Because they knew that at this critical moment of life and death, Hei Yunzi, who was usually very strict, would become even more ruthless.
Any disobedience or slackness would lead to cruel punishment or even death.
Especially Geng Ying, even though the wound on his forehead had been frozen and even started to itch, it was obvious that he was going to be frostbitten, but he didn't dare to relax even a breath and followed closely behind the team.
Because his life was only temporarily in his hands now, if there was any mistake again, Hei Yunzi would definitely kill him without hesitation.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, Hei Yunzi finally ordered a rest.
With a thud, several weaker men fell to the ground, gasping for breath and unable to move.
Although Hei Yunzi was not so exaggerated, he also felt a little tired.
But out of vigilance, he did not rest immediately, but jumped onto a big tree and carefully observed the surroundings. When he was sure that no one was following him, he was slightly relieved.
After landing, he took out a wine gourd from his bag, uncorked it and drank a sip himself, and then handed it to the men around him.
"Drink some wine to warm your body."
The reason why Hei Yunzi was able to establish such a high prestige among these men was naturally not just by violence, but also by kindness.
Only by using kindness and power can you make your men work for you.
After taking the wine gourd, these men began to drink in turns.
The strong liquor mixed with medicinal materials quickly dispelled the cold outside, and the whole body was warm.
While they were drinking and resting, Zhao Ya looked at the empty cellars in the valley more than ten miles away, and a playful look appeared on his face.
"Interesting, you are so vigilant and meticulous, no wonder no one has been able to catch you for so long."
Just now, Zhao Ya returned to a hidden place he had arranged outside the Canglong Temple, took out the things he needed, and then turned back.
In less than an hour, Zhao Ya went back and forth for at least 170 to 80 miles, and most of the roads were covered with snow. The speed was shocking enough.
But when he came to the outside of the valley, Zhao Ya was surprised to find that the feeling of someone secretly guarding him was gone.
Then Zhao Ya saw the traces of climbing at the gap in the valley, and the faint residue of medicine in the air.
No need to ask, this must be that Hei Yunzi found something and ran away.
But Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to chase them. On the contrary, judging from the traces left by the bait, they had only walked for about half an hour.
With the heavy snow blocking the road, they probably couldn't run far.
Zhao Ya was confident that he could easily catch up with them at his own speed, so he entered the valley first to see what was arranged inside.
Don't underestimate this point. Sometimes, through this kind of observation, you can roughly infer the character or cultivation of this Hei Yunzi, which is very helpful for the subsequent pursuit.
Sure enough, after arriving in the valley, Zhao Ya couldn't help laughing when looking at the cellars.
Because the smell of poison powder emanating from these cellars was simply obvious to Zhao Ya.
From this, it can be inferred that this Hei Yunzi is not only extremely vigilant, but also meticulous and vicious.
This is because he encountered himself who is proficient in poison. If there is someone who doesn't know, he may really be tricked.
Although the poison powder used by Hei Yunzi is highly toxic, it is not difficult to crack it. What's more, Zhao Ya also has the talent of being immune to all poisons, so it is naturally easier.
Zhao Ya stepped into the largest cellar and inspected it, but did not find any valuable clues.
The same was true for the other cellars, but judging from the neatly arranged items, Hei Yunzi and his gang were not in a mess when they evacuated.
This is a very important point, proving that Hei Yunzi should have a strong dominance among these men.
Thinking of this, the image of Hei Yunzi became more three-dimensional in Zhao Ya's mind.
Such a bandit who is very strict in controlling his subordinates and is also very vigilant is really a headache. No wonder Hei Yunzi was highly regarded in the master's mission of Canglong Temple.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya did not delay any more, turned around and came to the gap in the valley, sniffed the remaining medicine in the air, and after confirming the direction, he jumped into the mountains and forests, and disappeared after a few takeoffs.
At the same time, Hei Yunzi and his men had finished their repairs and continued to hurry on their way.
Hei Yunzi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was.
This sudden feeling made him frown and feel very worried.
You know, his premonition has always been accurate. He has escaped from the gates of hell several times with this.
So he always felt that something big was going to happen.
But now that he had come here, there was only one way to go, and Hei Yunzi could only hope to get to the next hiding place as soon as possible.
Therefore, he urged these men very harshly, and even if some of them were almost vomiting blood, he still had no intention of relaxing.
At this moment, in a forest not far behind them, a figure landed lightly on a big tree, without even stirring up a single snowflake.
After only a dozen miles, Zhao Ya caught up in an instant.
At this moment, Zhao Ya stared at the team in the distance, and his eyes quickly locked onto the target.
Although they were far apart, Zhao Ya could still see clearly with the help of the bright moon in the sky and the reflection of the snow.
He saw that this Black Cloud had an eagle nose and hawk eyes, and his eyes were shining, and he was obviously quite powerful.
When Zhao Ya was secretly observing this Black Cloud, he suddenly looked around in confusion, and a strong sense of vigilance appeared on his face.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart.
He was now in the dormant state of the spirit turtle, and at such a long distance, he should not be able to detect anything.
But this Black Cloud's performance clearly seemed to be aware of something.
Could it be that he was not careful enough to expose his whereabouts?
Just when Zhao Ya was wondering, Hei Yunzi's fear had reached its peak.
Just now, he suddenly felt a vague sense of being spied on.
This feeling was so weak that even Hei Yunzi almost thought it was his illusion.
But soon he knew that it was not an illusion, because a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.
This feeling was unprecedented, even when he was besieged and almost died, it was not as fierce as this time.
Hei Yunzi knew that he must have been secretly targeted by a powerful and terrifying person.
So he made a quick decision and suddenly ordered: "Run in different directions!"
After saying these three words, Hei Yunzi and his men had already rushed out, leaving these men standing there in a daze.
At this moment, Zhao Ya, who was far away, couldn't help but sigh.
It must be said that this Hei Yunzi is indeed a character who can take it or leave it.
After feeling the danger, the decision he made is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
But this aroused Zhao Ya's interest even more.
Since he had been exposed, he simply stopped hiding. After a light laugh, he rushed out and passed over Geng Ying and others in an instant, chasing in the direction of Hei Yunzi's escape.
Sorry, I didn't sleep last night again. I slept all day today and only started typing in the evening. But now I'm done with the work and the old man has been buried. I can resume normal updates tomorrow.
