C2418 Who was the hunter and who was the prey?
The dozen or so officers all looked at Xia Lei with strange eyes. No one took the initiative to salute Xia Lei, and no one explained the situation to him either.
This place, these people, they were all emitting a deliberate aura.
"Commander, let's go." The officer leading the way said.
Xia Lei did not move, and coldly asked: "Who are you? I've never seen any of these officers before! "
The officer who was leading the way said, "Commander, you're overthinking it. They are all officers of low rank. Of course you've never seen them before. An army of two million soldiers, there are tens of thousands of officers like us, you can't possibly have seen them all. "
Xia Lei suddenly spurred his horse and galloped towards the camp's defense line.
Twelve people suddenly appeared on their way here. They were all wearing the Rebel Army's military uniform, and all of them were tall and beautiful women with long legs.
The Twelve Holy Maiden of the Darkness Divine Religion appeared. Did they follow him all the way here, or were they lying in ambush on the way back to the camp of "Ye Kui"? However, the reason and process were not important. What was important was that they blocked the way back to the base "Ye Kui".
"Damn it!" "How dare you lie to me!" Xia Lei suddenly jumped up from the Ghost Horse, and landed a punch on the chest of the low level officer who was leading the way.
The latter's chest was instantly caved in, but it was not penetrated. His body was sent flying a few meters away before landing on the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth as he said with a ferocious expression, "Long live the Empire!"
Xia Lei suddenly jumped up, and landed a kick on the head of the officer who was leading the way.
The officer leading the way hit his head hard on the ground, then his head split open and he died.
The dozen or so officers at the edge of the forest did not even move, as they coldly watched Xia Lei.
Xia Lei laughed coldly: "You think you can kill me? Let me tell you, even though I didn't bring any guards, I didn't put you in my eyes! Come on! "Let's attack together!"
Yin Cao coldly snorted, "You're already near death and you're still acting so arrogantly. Ye Kui, with your intelligence, you're still delusional enough to think of being king?"
Xia Lei suddenly rushed into the forest, his speed was extremely fast, in a blink of an eye he had already rushed into the forest.
"Want to run?" Then you are dreaming! " Yin Cao immediately chased after him. Another Holy Maiden followed closely behind, rushing into the forest.
The only ones who did not make a move were the group of officers who acted as' group actors'. In this attempt to lure 'Ye Kui' into action, it was obvious that they did not have the qualifications to chase after him.
The forest was quiet, the light dim, the visibility only a few meters or so. The ground was littered with dead branches, fallen leaves, and even rotting corpses of animals. If a person were to run on it, they would leave an obvious footprint on the ground.
"Ye Kui" had left his footprints, it was very clear footprints that extended deeper into the forest. He seemed to want to avoid this dangerous area and return to the military camps of the common Rebel Army. However, he seemed to be afraid of the twelve Holy Maiden chasing him from behind, and after a brief change of direction, he ran towards the depths of the forest. His footprints were messy and disoriented.
"Fear. Enjoy your fear." Yin Cao said while following her, "Because fear will be the last feeling you'll ever experience in your life."
While chasing, she was also increasing the pressure on "Ye Kui", increasing the speed of his collapse. This was the hunter's favorite game. He liked to play around with it before killing his prey.
Behind her, the eleven Holy Maiden spread out in one word, parallel to her, and followed her in the direction that "Ye Kui" had escaped in.
In the dark forest, Xia Lei ran and stumbled in panic. The thorns of the forest had torn his clothes, and he had even run away with a shoe, as miserable as he could be.
After some distance, a large river appeared in front of him. The black river water churned and gurgled. This was a stretch of the upper reaches of the Black River, flowing towards the Black River City from here.
Xia Lei stopped in his tracks, he had nowhere to run. The black river was hundreds of meters wide, and he took a few steps back before speeding toward it. But when he reached the river, he stopped again. He didn't seem confident that he could jump over, fearing that he would fall into the raging black river.
"Is that all you have?" Yin Cao's voice came from behind him. Her voice was filled with contempt and disdain.
Xia Lei turned around and saw that twelve Holy Maiden, led by Yin Cao, were walking toward him with large strides. The few Holy Maiden on the two sides were even faster. Their goal was obvious, which was to quickly cut off Xia Lei's route of escape to the two sides.
Xia Lei stopped running, his expression fierce: "Do I need to run? I don't need to run! I lured you here on purpose. Do you think you can kill me? On the contrary, I want to kill all of you here! "
"Hahaha ?" Yin Cao could not help but burst out laughing, "Ye Kui, Ye Kui, do you know what you look like now?"
"Who do you care!" Xia Lei roared in anger, "Don't f * * king speak nonsense. If you all want to kill me, I want to kill you all too. Go ahead!"
However, Yin Cao did not move, and continued with what she had just said, "You are now like a street hooligan, greedy and stupid but still self-righteous."
Xia Lei looked at the ground and spat, "You call me a hooligan? Well, even if I am, it's better than you so-called leftovers, isn't it? You are nothing but whores to sleep with! "
This sentence was the same as stabbing a hornet's nest.
"Kill him!" Yin Cao roared angrily. Her body leaned forward and with a stomp on the ground, her body shot out like an arrow from a bow and charged straight at Xia Lei.
Not just her arrow, but another eleven.
The twelve Holy Maiden were not real arrows, but they flew faster than real arrows. Their bodies left afterimages in the air as clear sounds of friction with the air could be heard. It was not hard to imagine what would happen if the twelve arrows hit.
"Ye Kui" was ridiculing the Twelve Holy Maiden who was leading by Yin Cao just now, but she was just a slut who slept with others. In the blink of an eye, the twelve Holy Maiden used their strength to attack back at "Ye Kui". They who were flying towards Xia Lei were using this posture to tell him that there was no bitch that could fly so fast, so fiercely!
"Ye Kui" 's reaction speed was not slow either. Without waiting for the twelve Holy Maiden to strike him, he turned around and jumped towards the other side of the black river.
There was no run-up, but "Ye Kui" seemed to have ignited his potential in this desperate situation, and this jump actually showed the tendency of jumping over a river of a few hundred meters.
However, before he could jump to the other side, as soon as his body crossed the river surface, a black shadow suddenly jumped up from the water, and instantly crashed into his body.
"Ah ? ?" Xia Lei let out a blood-curdling scream. After flying for a distance, he fell into the river.
The 12 Holy Maiden were only there to assist in this assassination, the real assassin was the Black Sun Palace's "Minister of Imperial Household" Sirius. He had already predicted that Xia Lei would escape here, and he had already set up an ambush in the Black River a long time ago. He did not make his move when Xia Lei was facing away from him, but had waited for Xia Lei to jump out of the river in a hurry before making his move.
As the "Minister of Imperial Household" of the Black Sun Palace, the strength of the yin wolves far exceeded that of the real "Ye Kui". From this alone, it was not difficult to see just how sinister and terrifying he was!
Without waiting for Xia Lei to fall into the river, the yin wolf swayed in the air and once again flew above Xia Lei, smashing a fist towards his head.
Without a single word of nonsense, it also did not leave any hope for "Ye Kui" to dive into the sea and escape.
By the river bank, the twelve Holy Daughters had just landed at the place Xia Lei had just stopped at. They did not make a move, because in their eyes, there was no longer any need for them to do so. Once the Shadow Wolf took action, the fate of that arrogant traitor was already determined, and that was ? Death!
However, Xia Lei, whose back was almost against the river, suddenly revealed a smile when faced with the fist of the dark wolf that was already at his forehead.
This smile caused the Shadow Wolf to be slightly stunned. He had killed many people, so many that he couldn't even remember how many he had killed. But he had never seen such a smile on the face of anyone he was about to kill. That smile was so happy, so sincere. How could a dying man have such a smile? Furthermore, the smile on his face made him feel like the one dying was not "Ye Kui", but himself!
There was a very simple standard to determine who was the hunter and who was the prey, and that was who lived and who died!
Just at that moment, Xia Lei's head suddenly tilted to the side, dodging the Shadow Wolf's fist. At the same time, both his arms were holding the Shadow Wolf's waist, tightly holding onto it!
"You ? "It's not ?" The Shadow Wolf suddenly realized something, and fear immediately occupied every part of its body.
BOOM!
The two of them fell into the surging black river, and in the blink of an eye, were engulfed by the rushing river water.
The river water was black and it was impossible to see under the water.
However, the twelve Holy Maiden were not worried at all. What did they not see was that in that instant, Xia Lei's movements, they only thought that his dark wolf methods were ruthless and did not leave any leeway for him to attack. So much so, that after he had punched "Ye Kui" into the river, they were not at ease at all.
"Commander, send the signal!" One of the Holy Maiden said, "The Dark Wolf said that he would send a signal to kill Ye Kui. Captain Corpse Monster's army is already in position, it's time to destroy the Rebel Army. "
Yin Cao sighed, "Rebel Army should have been one of us in the dark world. I didn't expect that we would have to help the Empire's government to eliminate it."
A Holy Maiden said, "Commander, we must compromise now. We have already lost control of the civilian Rebel Army. It is the army of the Dragon King. The Dragon King is our common enemy with the Imperial Government."
Yin Cao took out a signal gun and shot into the sky.
Bang!
A signal flare rose up into the sky, leaving behind a scorching trail in the sky.
BOOM! A muffled sound suddenly rang out from below the river. The pitch-black river water had been dyed gold in that instant!
