Turbulent Times Chapter 185: The power of the blood mane horse
(Thank you very much for the generosity of Mr. Liu and the monthly ticket support.)
Before everyone ate the breakfast sent by Zhanpeng, Wang Junlin asked someone to catch a wild dog and feed it. After confirming that it was not poisonous, everyone started eating.
Naturally, Wang Junlin would not doubt Zhan Peng, but with the supernatural powers of those monsters, it would be easy for him to hide the poison from Zhan Peng.
After breakfast, Wang Junlin sat in the gazebo by the small lake, frowning and thinking.
Lynx Mao Mao likes to play in the water, and jumps around in the shallow water of the small lake, trying to catch fish in the lake with his paws, having a great time playing, but it is always in vain.
But when Wang Junlin turned around to look at the blood-maned horse, Maomao let out a joyful cry, Wang Junlin turned his head to look, and Maomao ran towards him biting a carp weighing more than ten catties. As if asking for credit, he put the fish at Wang Junlin's feet.
The fish is still alive, but it may be because of being bitten by Mao Mao. Although it is writhing on the ground, it is not strong.
"Hou Ye, this is Mao Mao's filial piety to you, and someone from a lowly position will cook fish soup for you." Niu Jinda motioned to the guards to bring a bucket, and said with a smile.
But Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop him, stared at the fish for a while, stepped forward to catch the fish, put it on the stone table in the gazebo, and began to dissect the fish bit by bit with the dragon bird knife, first the skin , followed by fish meat, and after a while, the last trace of fish meat on the bones was also picked clean.
Seeing the nervousness on Wang Junlin's face, Niu Jinda and the other guards couldn't help feeling tense. They looked like idiots as Wang Junlin cut open the big fish bone. The blade seemed to be resisted. , Wang Junlin let out a long sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and broke the fish bone. Except for a steel needle as thin as a cow's hair, there was nothing else in it.
"This is a poisonous needle..." Niu Jinda and the others were taken aback, and their backs were in a cold sweat. If it hadn't been for his own Lord Hou to stop him, the fish would have been stewed into soup and eaten by the Lord...
"Damn the humble job, please forgive me." Niu Jinda was sweating profusely at the thought of almost poisoning his own Lord Hou because of one of his suggestions.
Wang Junlin waved his hand and said, "I can't blame you. The fish that Mao Mao worked so hard for half a day can't be thrown away under normal circumstances."
Niu Jinda wiped his sweat, hating the person who poisoned him to death, but with the experience of last night, knowing that the other party has great powers, I am afraid that except for Lord Hou, no one else has the strength to fight back in front of the other party.
Wang Junlin seemed to have seen through the thoughts of Niu Jinda and the guards, and said, "Don't think about how powerful and mysterious your opponent is, they are actually some thieves who pretend to be gods and play ghosts, like to use indiscriminate methods, and can't be seen, that's all. Fighting, they may not be your opponents."
When Niu Jinda and the other guards heard this, they immediately lifted their spirits, and the fear and worry on their faces disappeared.
…
…
The crow came again, and its croaking was very annoying. Niu Jinda especially hated crows, so he sent two guards to chase them away. A crossbow shoots a crow.
The two guards were very obedient, strictly according to what Niu Jinda said, each shot a crow to death, but today's crow is different from yesterday's crow, not only did not scare it away, but also went crazy, and jumped at the two guards .
Although the two guards were brave, they were also taken aback. They each shot another crow to death with their crossbow arrows. The guard's face was scratched a little. Niu Jinda and others rushed forward, fired a round of crossbow arrows, shot all the crows to death, and the world was completely clean.
Then, the guard whose face was scratched by the crow suddenly foamed at the mouth, his limbs twitched, and finally his seven orifices bled.
Everyone's face changed drastically, and several guards who had been friends with them instinctively wanted to check the corpse, but Wang Junlin stopped them with a loud shout. The guards understood what their Lord Hou meant, they were taken aback, and retreated instinctively one by one.
What kind of poison is this? As far as Wang Junlin knew, in this era, apart from the poison that could kill someone in an instant, he had never heard of any other poisons.
You must know that human vitality is actually very tenacious. If it were not for chemically synthesized poisons such as cyanide in later generations, no poison could kill people so quickly.
Based on Wang Junlin's knowledge, he could see at a glance that the symptoms of the guard's poison were very similar to the chemically synthesized poison he knew in later generations.
Just like the ether that appeared last night, logically speaking, it should not have happened. You must know that the poisons people use in this era are all biological toxins or plant toxins, and the era of using synthetic toxins is far from coming.
Thinking in this way, Wang Junlin stepped forward to further confirm that the guard's heartbeat and pulse were gone, and then he was sure that the guard was really dead.
He inspected his body carefully, and it seemed that the only wound on the guard's body was the face scratched by the crow, but Wang Junlin looked at the wound carefully and studied the crow's claws, and did not think that the guard's death was related to the crow. He thought of a possibility, so he sighed quietly, and didn't say the result of his judgment.
At this time, Wang Junlin realized that although all the guards around him looked murderous and wanted to avenge their companions, the panic deep in their eyes was still hard to hide. Wang Junlin knew that it wasn't that they were afraid of death, but that they were afraid of invisible and intangible enemies. This had nothing to do with bravery, it was human instinct.
If the blood-maned horse wanted to go anywhere, except for Wang Junlin, few people could stop it. No, he couldn't wait for Wang Junlin to come to feed him, so he ran over from the horse farm next door, followed by a few grooms who waited on him from afar.
Attracted by the arrival of the blood-maned horse, everyone looked up, but just as the blood-maned horse passed by a garden, it stopped suddenly, raised its front hooves, and neighed.
Wang Junlin and the blood-maned horse had already reached the point where they could communicate with each other, and instantly understood what happened, and shouted: "Surround the garden, shoot and kill."
At the same time as he simply gave the order, Wang Junlin jumped up and shot towards the garden like a crossbow.
Almost at the moment Wang Junlin moved, a gray figure suddenly jumped up in the garden, and instead of running away, it shot at the blood-maned horse.
Seeing this, Wang Junlin sneered, no matter whether this guy wanted to take the horse and escape, or he wanted to take the blood-maned horse as a hostage, he was doomed to tragedy because he didn't understand the blood-maned horse.
With a bang, accompanied by a strange cry from the man, the man left quickly and came back quickly.
Wang Junlin, Niu Jinda and the others saw it clearly. At the same time that the man rushed towards the blood-maned horse, the blood-maned horse let out a roar and rushed towards the man, and its speed reached extremely high in an instant. He was so fast, like a blood-red shadow, even if the man was caught off guard by his profound strength, he couldn't dodge in time. He only had time to slap his palms on the blood-maned horse's head, and was knocked away.
The moment this person was in the air, Wang Junlin, who was running, raised his left hand, and a series of four iron spikes were shot out from the miniature steel crossbow, completely covering the thief's body. , It seems that the thief ran straight into the four iron thorns.
Although the steel crossbow in Wang Junlin's hand is small, it is stronger than ordinary steel crossbows, and it is fired four times in a row. In addition, Wang Junlin specially smeared some material on the crossbow last night. Amidst the strange screams of the man in gray, his body twisted in mid-air against common sense, avoiding the three iron spikes dangerously, and the other iron spike just wiped his ear, leaving a string of blood beads .
The moment the man in gray fell to the ground, the Dragon Sparrow Saber in Wang Junlin's hand had already turned into a thunderbolt, cutting off his head.
The man in gray was as vigorous as an ape just now, and his speed was as fast as a ghost. He fell to the ground, and then let out two or three meaningless screams and groans, fell to the ground and trembled all over.
Niu Jinda and all the guards caught up at this time, and when they saw the thief being taken down by his master Hou and the blood-maned horse, they cheered and surrounded him. From last night until now, they have been bullied by thieves very badly. Just now a brother died, but they have not even seen the shadow of the enemy. Now they have finally taken down the other party. This also proves what Lord Hou said just now. , These people are just thieves who pretend to be gods and play tricks.
The man in gray is still alive, and Wang Junlin didn't stop him. He took out the porcelain bottle from his arms and swallowed all the pills in one gulp, but he didn't seem to be getting better. Apart from trembling, his heartbeat and The breathing is not over yet, but the ears that were injured by the iron thorn just now turned black, and the lips also turned purple, which is the manifestation of the poison on Wang Junlin's iron thorn.
"Dog thief, I will kill you and avenge Zhong Sanlang." The guard who went to drive away the crow with the dead guard before, now with red eyes, chopped off the head of the man in gray. He had a good relationship with the dead Zhong Sanlang.
"Stop it. We need information. This guy is very important and cannot be killed." Wang Junlin waved his hand to stop him.
The red-eyed guard who seemed to be dazzled by hatred hurriedly stepped aside, crying and saying: "Master Hou, this dog day killed Zhong Sanlang, you must avenge Sanlang!" /
Wang Junlin could understand that the guard was eager for revenge, so he turned his head and glanced at him, ready to comfort and explain, but suddenly found something on the guard's face, and his expression instantly turned cold. The guard said, "Who are you?"
The guard had already pinched the handle of the saber at the moment Wang Junlin changed his face, and his first reaction was to slash at Wang Junlin with the saber, but with the crisp sound of crossbow arrows, he could only fall obediently. On the ground, the other guards beside him were already holding the stringed steel crossbow in their hands. Seeing that the guard actually assassinated Lord Hou, they instinctively lifted it up and shot.
