C684 (1/2)

The scent of blood in the forest grew stronger and stronger.

Just as Zhu Yan finished bandaging the Scarlet Scorpion's wounds, Duan Chengxuan had already led his men to slaughter the enemy's group of black-clothed soldiers. The two daggers in Duan Chengxuan's hands were already stuck to the flesh and blood, making the smell of rust difficult to wipe clean with the leaves.

Hong Xiao, who was at the back, pierced the throat of the last person. Half of his face was covered in blood, but he still respectfully walked to Duan Chengxuan's side. ”My prince, not a single person remains.”

”This group of black-clothed soldiers know the seriousness of the situation.” Duan Chengxuan impatiently threw all the daggers that were difficult to clean to Hong Xiao.

These people were like clouds and mud compared to the black clothed soldiers they had encountered before.

Not only were these black clothed soldiers talkative, but their reactions were also slow. They did not look like an orderly army like before, but instead like a temporarily trained team of horse bandits.

In the end, only a dozen of them would be able to kill all thirty of them.

Hong Xiao opened a man's mouth and looked at his teeth, but didn't discover any poisonous substance. He immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said, ”My lord, they are not death warriors at all. It seems like they think that these people are more than enough to deal with this siblings and their people.”

”Right.” Duan Chengxuan nodded indifferently, then walked over to Zhu Yan with a cold expression. ”Why are you two here?”

”We are only preparing to go to Eldan, and we will be ambushed halfway. It doesn't matter which path we take, we'll be able to encounter these black-clothed men.” Zhu Yan wiped the sweat off his face. He bent down and pulled up the Scarlet Scorpion. Along the way, he also put away her long whip and tied it around her waist.

A pained groan came from the scorpion's throat as it continued, ”Not only that, we also know what they want?”

The beautiful woman from before was now in a miserable state. Even the heroic spirit that was left on her body had been completely erased.

”What is it?” ”Just now, you said that you would deliver it to Madam. Who do you mean?” Hong Xiao quickly walked over and gestured for his subordinates to clean up the place while it was dark, trying not to expose the location of the cove.

However, the siblings frowned, unwilling to say what it was.

”Although I do not know why you are unwilling to tell us, but this is our territory and we can throw you out at any time. The beasts in the mountains might like the shriveled flesh on your bodies.” Hong Xiao rubbed his nose and stomped his feet, looking impatient.

The Scarlet Scorpion glared at this rude man with dissatisfaction. While his brother was still conflicted, he opened his mouth first and said, ”In fact, it's only a sheepskin scroll that my father told us about before he left. We only found out that their goal was the sheepskin scroll when we were being chased down, so we temporarily hid him.”

”Give it to Yan'Er?” Duan Cheng Xuan asked.

”Of course I want to personally hand it over to her. If you hand it over to us, who knows how much trouble it will bring. My father has dedicated his life to it, I don't want it.” Red Scorpion pursed his lips as if he had thought of something. He raised his eyebrows and said, ”No, I remember that there were rumors that the ancestors of the Yun clan were already struck by lightning, and now there are rumours that they found some kind of pool of blood rattan to live forever and not die. Is this news all Gu Liuyan's doing?”

Duan Chengxuan nodded indifferently. ”What does this have to do with the sheepskin scroll?”
