Yang +1]!

"Damn! What's going on?"

Yokokura Keinosuke, who had just been happy for a short time, suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him again. The faint smile on his face froze in an instant, and he quickly turned his head and looked back.

He was now really afraid of all the footsteps coming from behind.

As soon as he heard what sounded like footsteps behind him, his whole body felt like a frightened bird, and his muscles tensed suddenly.

Turning his eyes to the back, with his good eyesight, Yokokura Keinosuke could vaguely see the depths of the dense forest behind him, and there seemed to be many shaky shadows.

He lowered his eyelids, squinted his eyes, and looked intently - hiss - Yokokura Keinosuke took a deep breath.

It’s those haunting dog officers and soldiers again!

Damn it! It’s not over, is it? Those dog officers and soldiers won’t be tired... After cursing secretly in his heart, Yokokura Keinosuke turned his eyes back to himself and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"You brats! You have to cheer me up! Those dog officers and soldiers are chasing me again!"

Yokokura Keinosuke yelled, and he saw red blood threads, like strips of fresh flesh worms, growing out of the corners of his eyes, spreading towards the center of his eyeballs little by little like a rising tide...

In just a moment, the whites of his eyes turned red - densely packed with red bloodshot eyes.

The red blood streaks are so dense that you can't see the whites of your eyes...it's really terrifying...

…

Now it's really a battle of perseverance.

Whether it was Aoto's side or Yokokura Keinosuke's side, the physical strength of both sides was exhausted at this time.

When I inhaled, I felt that what I was inhaling was not gas, but iron nails that had just been roasted in the fire. Every time I took a breath, I felt a severe pain in my chest.

What drives the muscles in the legs is no longer physical strength, but perseverance and willpower.

Everyone gritted their teeth.

Everyone is frantically squeezing out the remaining strength in their bodies.

Generally speaking, in this chase battle, the side of Hengkang still clearly had the advantage. Their pair, who were accustomed to walking in the mountains, really took advantage.

However, the amazing thing is - Qingdeng and the subordinates behind him seem to have been infused with magical magic.

There are still many people who accidentally fall to the ground because they are not used to the rugged mountain roads.

But all those who fell quickly got up and continued to follow the large troops and the Chengzi flag.

The person who broke his arm hung his arm on his chest; the person who broke his leg ignored the pain in his leg; the person who broke his head raised his hand to press the wound and then rushed forward - in short, no one

If you don’t continue to move forward, no one will take the initiative to fall behind.

How long did this chase last?

have no idea.

Qingdeng's sense of time had become extremely blurry due to his over-excitement, intense mental concentration, and the increasing amount of fatigue building up in his body.

The same goes for the rest of the people. They have no time to take care of things like time.

Everyone, including Aonto, all they know now is to keep running, keep running, keep running... keep running towards the front, towards the direction where Yokokura Kinosuke is!

Their eyes only stare ahead.

In addition to "run forward and catch Yokokura Keinosuke", they seemed to have no other thoughts in their minds!

…

I don’t know how long it’s been since—

"Humph...! Humph...! Humph...! Humph...!"

Yokokura Keinosuke's head, which was full of flesh, seemed to be about to fall off his neck at any time, hanging low in front of his chest. His chin was close to his collarbone, forming at least seven layers of chin.

This kind of vision that focuses on the toes is very detrimental to running. You can't even see if there are obstacles in front of you, which is very dangerous... But Kinosuke Yokokura really doesn't have the strength to raise his head.

The fat on the belly swayed feebly with the inertia of running.

His fat body was swaying like a tumbler.

Sometimes it falls to the left, sometimes it tilts to the right... The body is shaking so much that it seems like it will fall to the ground and collapse at any time.

In fact, Yokokura Keinosuke almost fell to the ground several times, but every time he was about to fall, he used the remaining willpower in his mind to straighten his body again.

It was obviously late autumn when the climate was cool and refreshing, but the amount of sweat that Keinosuke Yokokura and his subordinates beside him made made people deeply doubt whether they were still in the middle of summer.

Several of them...especially Yokokura Kinosuke, every time they stepped on the ground, the sweat from their bodies would leave a small pool of smelly puddles on the ground.

Where is this...? Yokokura Keinosuke mustered up the last bit of strength and energy and looked left and right.

Strange trees, strange rocks, strange flowers and plants, strange boundaries...

I have no idea where this place is...

The only thing that is certain is that they ran so far away from Soma Mountain, so far away...

The scenery in the mountains is always similar. There are flowers, birds, cordyceps, trees, mud, water and rocks.

The scenery, which is almost the same, changes one after another as the body keeps moving forward.

However... there is one thing that remains unchanged - the ghostly pursuit of footsteps that stick to the backs of Yokokura Keinosuke and others!

Aoto and his men are still chasing after Yokokura Kinosuke and others!

In terms of physical condition alone, there was no big difference between Aomori and Yokokura. Both were drenched in sweat, and their bodies were shaking violently, as if they were about to collapse at any time.

However, the mental state of the former is completely different from that of the latter.

The latter was just pure exhaustion - both his eyes and complexion showed a turbid and chaotic color.

However, the eyes of the former are still shining with a bright and eye-catching light.

If they don't catch up with Kinosuke Yokokura, this group of people may really never stop - anyone would think so, after seeing such a look in his eyes, after witnessing such a spirit.

At this moment, Yokokura Keinosuke suddenly saw a single-plank bridge in front of him.

This single-plank bridge spans a long and narrow cliff. The cliff is about 15 meters above the ground. Although there is a stream flowing eastward at the bottom of the cliff, if you fall from such a height, a mere river cannot relieve the huge impact.

If you don't have enough strength, you will be crippled even if you don't die.

The single-plank bridge is about 10 meters long and barely wide enough for two adults to walk side by side.

There should be people living nearby, and this single-plank bridge was probably built by residents nearby.

A fierce look, like a spark, flashed in Yokokura Keinosuke's eyes.

He took a deep breath, raised his huge head with all his strength, and after crossing the single-plank bridge with a huff, he suddenly stopped and turned around.

Choking - Yokokura Keinosuke drew his sword in his hand.

Even though his body is extremely tired, Yokokura Keinosuke's movements of drawing the sword are still smooth and powerful. It is obvious at a glance that he is a man who is proficient in swordsmanship.

"Fuck! Stop running away! Fight them right here!"

Yokokura Keinosuke's thighs were shaking like a newborn lamb - he really couldn't run anymore.

If you continue to escape like this, even if you are not caught, you will be exhausted to death!

In this case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that we still have some remaining strength and have such a good terrain advantage to fight with those dog officers and soldiers!

I have to say that Kinosuke Yokokura has really good vision.

The narrow body of the single-plank bridge hanging on a 15-meter-deep cliff is simply a nightmare for attackers.

As long as the bridgehead is firmly occupied and the tactics are appropriate, it is absolutely impossible for the attacker to capture the bridge and cross the bridge without paying several times, or even ten times more sacrifices than the defender.

It can be said that "one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it"!

It was indeed very smart for Yokokura Keinosuke to choose to start the war in such a place.

They are worthy of being bandits who stick to the mountain and eat the mountain. The six thieves who escaped with Kinosuke Yokokura are still closely following Yokokura Kinosuke until now, and no one is left behind - but they

The current physical condition is not ideal.

Hearing that Yokokura Keinosuke didn't want to run away, he wanted to fight to the death with the dog officers and soldiers who were chasing after him. These six people had different expressions.

But soon, the expressions on their faces changed into the same look of determination.

The sounds of swords drawn, guns drawn, bows drawn, all sounded in scattered pieces.

Their thoughts were the same as those of Yokokura Keinosuke: after running non-stop in the vast mountains for so long, they really couldn’t run anymore!

Yokokura Keinosuke's eyes moved sideways and he glanced at the remaining equipment he owned - 2 people with knives, 2 with spears, and 2 with hunting bows used by hunters.

A hint of calmness emerged from Yokokura Keinosuke's lips - the weapons held by his subordinates were very even and complete, which gave him more confidence and calmness.

Complete equipment... this means that more diverse and more lethal defensive formations can be used!

"You two, stand at the front! You two with spears, stand in the middle. As for you, stand at the back and fire arrows! Attack the officers and soldiers when you see them! You guys with knives and guns, listen to me.

Okay, there’s no need to hack or stab the officers and soldiers to death! Just force them so that they can’t get close, and then take the opportunity to push them off the cliff!”

As soon as Yokokura Keinosuke finished mobilizing troops, a very noisy sound came from the other end of the bridge - a Makoto flag stuck out of the bushes - Aomori and others caught up!

The person at the forefront was still Qingdeng.

A narrow single-plank bridge hung high on the cliff. On the other end of the bridge, Yokokura Keinosuke and others were in a defensive posture. Aoto, who had a panoramic view of everything in front of him, narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and shouted behind him:

"Did you see the wooden bridge ahead? The bandit army has stopped! Follow them closely! Follow me to seize the bridge!"
