Chapter 90: Cutting Ma Ling with a Knife
Especially this style of action, it made Ma Ling feel like he had seen it before.
After all, the long-lasting jungle chase had left a very deep impression on Ma Ling.
Could it be that... the guy who was hiding in the Changlong Escort Agency has now entered the Song family?
The more Ma Ling thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible, and he became excited.
If he could catch that guy and bring him back to Qingzhu Ridge, Miss San would be so happy!
You know, Miss San Fu Tingfang hated that guy who had plotted against her several times, and she still felt resentful even after such a long time.
Thinking of this, he immediately suggested to Huo Tianxiao: "Brother San, if you want to see the person alive or the body dead, let's go down and take a look."
Huo Tianxiao nodded in agreement.
A minion soldier had already taken a rope and tied one end to a boulder, and then Ma Ling and Huo Tianxiao went down the valley first.
After reaching the bottom of the valley, there was indeed no body.
Ma Ling was more and more certain that the young guard was the man from the escort agency, so he immediately proposed to chase him.
Huo Tianxiao was unwilling to let the duck fly away. If he could capture Song Peiwan alive and bring her back to Qingzhuling, the head of the stronghold would definitely reward him handsomely.
So the two of them followed their men.
The pursuit was not difficult because the traces along the way were very obvious.
Ma Ling could even clearly distinguish which traces were left by Song Peiwan and which were left by Zhao Ya.
This once aroused Ma Ling's suspicion and vigilance.
Because it was not like this the last time he chased her. At that time, despite the help of the fifth head of the stronghold, Diao Ruhai, who was proficient in tracking methods, it was still difficult to find the traces.
It was not like this now, it was simply blatant.
But Ma Ling soon put these thoughts behind him.
Even if it was intentional, what could it do?
You have to know that this time his side is stronger than last time.
Especially without the restraint of the Third Miss Fu Tingfang, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a kid who can only attack secretly?
Ma Ling, full of confidence, took the lead and chased along the trail for more than ten miles.
A lake in front blocked the way.
The lake was not big, and the lake water had long been frozen, and all the traces stopped abruptly at the lakeside and could not be found anymore.
At this time, Huo Tianxiao also came.
"What's going on?"
"Strange, the traces are all broken here. Could it be that these people can get under the ice and walk away?"
Huo Tianxiao was also a little confused. He walked around the lake for a few times and suddenly found something.
"Come and see!"
Ma Ling came over and saw that there was a trace of blood on a dry grass on the ground.
After the grass was pushed aside, there was a layer of fresh soil underneath, and after kicking it away with his feet, there was a pool of blood.
"Hmph, I said it's impossible not to get hurt after falling from such a high valley. I guess this person is already exhausted after running here. After spitting blood, he covered himself with mud and grass, and then hid. And the hiding place must be not far from here!" Huo Tianxiao said confidently.
Ma Ling was even more excited when he heard it, "Third brother, what should we do now?"
"Separate actions and search separately. I estimate that with this lake as the center, there should be traces of these people within a range of three to five miles."
"Okay!"
Ma Ling and Huo Tianxiao each led a team to start searching.
Let's not talk about Huo Tianxiao, just talk about Ma Ling.
He searched all the way south along the lake.
This is also the direction he thought Song Peiwan and others were most likely to escape.
After all, walking five or six miles south from here can reach the official road, and then walking along the official road for more than ten miles to reach Wuxiang City.
Ma Ling walked very carefully, especially paying attention to whether there were traps under his feet.
The trap set by Zhao Ya during the last pursuit left a deep impression on Ma Ling.
Although it would not cost Ma Ling his life, it was still embarrassing to see his men being beaten to a pulp.
But he did not find any traps along the way, which surprised Ma Ling.
Could it be that he had guessed wrong?
The other party was not the guy from Changlong Escort Agency?
But no matter what, the first task now was to catch them.
After walking two or three miles along the frozen lake, Ma Ling suddenly made a discovery.
Although there were not many traces of grass on the ground, there were many dry branches along the way.
Ma Ling was overjoyed, knowing that the target should be not far away.
He did not act rashly, but took out the two gun barrels from his backpack and gently twisted them together.
His long gun could be disassembled and removed. After disassembly, it was a short gun, which was enough for fighting the enemy at ordinary times.
But Ma Ling was best at the long gun, so for the sake of caution, he twisted the gun barrels together.
He walked into the woods with a spear in hand, and the traces became more and more obvious.
After a few hundred meters, Ma Ling suddenly noticed a big tree not far away, with a tree hole at the bottom of the trunk.
This kind of tree hole is usually used by blind bears to hibernate, but at this time there are obvious traces of footprints in front of the tree hole.
Ma Ling smiled silently and winked at his men behind him.
The men understood and immediately dispersed, and some archers aimed at the cave entrance.
Ma Ling said coldly: "Song Peiwan and that kid, I will count to three now, you can get out quickly and survive, otherwise the arrows will be fired and you will die without a burial place!"
"One!"
There was no movement in the cave.
"Two!"
The cave was still normal.
Ma Ling showed a trace of cruelty on his face and waved his hand fiercely.
"Three!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Arrows flew through the air densely.
At this distance, the power of the bow and arrow is terrifying.
They shot through the tree hole in an instant, and some even came out from behind the tree.
But there was not even a muffled groan from inside.
Ma Ling frowned.
Could it be that he guessed wrong, and there was no one in the tree hole?
He walked to the tree hole, first probed inside with the spear in his hand, and scratched it, and couldn't help but be disappointed.
There was really no one inside.
But what about the footprints in front of the tree hole?
Ma Ling had a trace of doubt in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and looked up suddenly.
At this time, a sleeve arrow had already flown to his head.
Ma Ling was horrified and swung the spear in his hand with all his strength, and the sleeve arrow was shot away in a split second.
But this was just the beginning, and the sleeve arrow was followed by a small round bag.
The force of Ma Ling's sleeve arrow also shattered the small bag.
Bang.
The white mist spread out instantly, completely covering Ma Ling.
Ma Ling was so scared that his soul was about to die, because he was so familiar with these methods.
Because he was familiar with them, he was even more terrified.
Ma Ling closed his eyes and swung the spear in his hand, then rushed out.
But at this moment, a flash of knife light suddenly appeared in the white mist and rushed straight to the back of Ma Ling's neck.
Ma Ling heard the evil wind behind him, but at this time he couldn't open his eyes or mouth, and in a hurry he could only block the gun in his hand backwards to try to block the opponent's attack.
But the next moment, the knife light cut off the gun in his hand, and then the knife's momentum did not decrease at all, and it slashed straight through.
Ma Ling froze instantly, and a moment later a head flew into the sky.
