Chapter 4 Survival, Unexpected Turn of Events
"Ugly!"
"You're asking for it!"
At this moment, the bald, scarred youth saw the scene of the black-faced ugly man's head being smashed, his eyes filled with bloodshot, and he roared.
Having landed a successful blow, Lin Zhou did not linger in the fight. Instead, he swiftly disappeared into the withered forest behind him, vanishing into the thicket of overgrown weeds in the blink of an eye.
"Stone, chase after him!!"
"This kid has to be killed!"
The scarred youth with a fierce face strode forward, gripping his short sword tightly, and chased after Lin Zhou. Beside him, the stone figure looked at the headless corpse lying on the ground, a flicker of fear in his eyes. Such immense strength—if he were to strike, wouldn't that be…
Seeing Daqiang rushing ahead, Zhang Shitou hurriedly followed.
On the road to escape famine, death was a common occurrence, and people had become accustomed to it.
They even conspired to kill and boil many people on their way to escape famine.
In this way, they managed to survive and reach the outskirts of Taihu County.
Inside the jungle.
With the "cow-skin" item equipped, Lin Zhou was completely unaffected by any branches, thorns, or other obstacles in the forest.
At the same time, I heard the sound of someone chasing after me from behind.
"Oh."
"I'm afraid you won't catch up."
Lin Zhou, with his eyes and ears open, found a suitable black giant tree to hide under. He curled up, rolled over, and hid in the bushes behind the tree.
Holding a shovel, he waited quietly for the figure approaching from behind.
In just over ten breaths.
Behind them were two figures, one in front and one behind, the other two surviving boys. They were very close together, protecting each other, so that if one of them was in danger, they could easily counterattack at close range.
"Watch out, that smell is nearby."
"Stone, let's search bit by bit. The kid who killed Ah Chou was pretty strong, and he looks like he has a background in martial arts."
The scarred boy and his companion stopped about ten steps away from where Lin Zhou was hiding.
"It's that red worm scent again..."
Lin Zhou's heart sank upon hearing their conversation.
The people of Lu Hua Tang are truly vicious. In order to kill all the herb gatherers representing the Medicine King Gang, they actually used this tracking-type exotic fragrance.
This time, Lin Zhou set his sights on the biggest threat: the bald, scarred teenager.
These people seemed to be led by him.
Lin Zhou waited quietly, crouching low, listening to the sounds getting closer and closer, until the two sides were within a few steps of each other.
Just like before, Lin Zhou pounced out again, gripped the shovel in his hand, and aimed at the scarred man's head, smashing it down.
Fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The timing of the move was also perfect.
Bang! !
The shovel slammed into the scarred boy's head, and just like before, it exploded like a watermelon.
The other boy, known as Stone, was terrified when he saw that Brother Qiang's head had also been smashed and his face was splattered with blood. He turned around and ran back the way he came.
Lin Zhou, who was standing still, was panting heavily as he killed two people in a row.
My heart was racing, but I didn't feel any discomfort.
Having weathered all sorts of storms on the road to escape famine, this was nothing more than child's play.
Lin Zhou swung the shovel with his right hand to shake off the blood, then strode after the fleeing, thin boy.
With the help of the impressive citation, Lin Zhou ran much faster than usual.
In just over ten breaths, he killed the last guy who was trying to kill him.
"I was doing it to protect myself."
Lin Zhou glanced coldly at the smashed head on the ground; it was beyond dead.
Then, Lin Zhou began to search the bodies of the three men.
From the scarred boy's arms, he found a dusty sachet containing some pale red powder.
There was also a small white jade porcelain bottle containing some liquid.
There was also a note with just two simple sentences about how to use the red worm incense.
Lin Zhou opened the note and glanced at it.
He then poured out some greenish liquid from the porcelain bottle, dipped his index and middle fingers in it, and applied it to the area under his nose, near the philtrum.
Instantly, Lin Zhou smelled a strange fragrance wafting around him, with a slight rotten smell, which was easily identifiable in this place.
"No wonder..."
Lin Zhou put the items away, and also hid the three short knives at his waist.
He had no idea whether there was only one insect incense stick.
Afterwards, Lin Zhou found a puddle in the forest and washed off the bloodstains that had splashed on him.
The sun is setting.
The environment of the entire sinkhole canyon has also become much darker.
Lin Zhou held an iron shovel and carried a bulging cloth bag on his back. At the entrance, two groups of herb gatherers sat in meditation. None of them had a good limb; some were even injured, and their hempen clothes were stained with blood.
There were seven people in Luhuatang before, but Lin Zhou killed three of them in the forest.
The remaining four, along with the Medicine King Gang, no longer had a numerical advantage.
As Lin Zhou, wielding an iron shovel, emerged step by step from the dense forest, the four herb gatherers from Lu Hua Tang immediately adopted a look of great alarm.
Suddenly, one of the herb gatherers from Luhua Hall seemed to realize something, his expression turned panicked, and he hurriedly picked up the cloth bag next to him and squeezed into the narrow passage at the exit.
The few remaining herb gatherers from Luhua Hall followed suit.
"Brother Lin."
"Brother Lin, you've come at just the right time."
The other four herb gatherers from the Medicine King Gang were all very polite and respectful to Lin Zhou.
After all, Lin Zhou was a herb gatherer valued by Steward Sun, and his status was above theirs.
"Um."
Lin Zhou nodded in acknowledgment, said nothing more, and entered the exit passage with the cloth bag.
...
After passing through the narrow passage, two groups of cavalrymen in black armor came into view. Their horses were also covered in iron armor, and each of them held a long spear, exuding a powerful aura. There were a total of eighteen black-armored cavalrymen.
These cavalrymen all wore black iron masks, obscuring their faces and giving them an air of mystery.
At this moment, Sun Sheng of the Medicine King Gang and Ge Fei of the Lu Hua Hall were both speaking respectfully to a cavalry captain riding a tall horse.
They bowed and scraped, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
"This place has been requisitioned by General Li."
"Anything picked from it must be left behind."
Do you understand?
Cavalry captain Dong Dashan spoke condescendingly, his tone cold.
"Yes, yes."
"Let's go now."
Sun Sheng and Ge Fei were both covered in sweat.
This place was only recently discovered, how come the news has reached the General's Mansion so quickly?
The city's garrison was a behemoth that neither of their two gangs could afford to offend, so they naturally had no choice but to obey its orders.
"Put down the herbs you've gathered, and you can leave."
At this moment, a black-armored cavalryman on Lin Zhou's side raised his spear and pointed it at Lin Zhou, speaking coldly from above.
Lin Zhou could only put down the cloth bag and walk behind Sun Sheng.
