In Abu's impression, the hatred of other races towards humans was deeply ingrained. It was impossible for an elf from the elven race to stand on the human side. Looking at the others again, they should all be humans, and mostly warriors. Among the pursuers behind, there was only one blue-robed mage. It was said that mages with different specialties wore different magic robes. Experienced people could determine the mage's specialty by looking at the mage's robe. But for now, Abu still lacked experience in this regard.
The pursuers and the pursued got closer and closer to Abu. Abu hid his entire head in the sand. If the other party was a high-level person, being glanced at by others' gazes would give rise to a certain sense, especially for mages. Abu didn't want to be discovered now, but he could clearly feel that the two people being pursued in front had already reached his side. There was a pain in his waist, as if he had been stepped on by a horse.
Abu cursed in his heart: Blind dog.
The curse Abu uttered in his heart naturally couldn't be heard by others, but Abu heard the person on the horse say in a low voice: "I still remember that not far ahead there is an oasis full of coniferous forests. Let's go there and hide first, and then find a way to escape." After a while, the horses of the pursuers also stepped over Abu one after another. At least six horses had stepped on Abu.
When being stepped on by a horse, Abu couldn't use his internal energy to resist. Even a fool could guess that there couldn't be such a big stone in the desert. He had to make his body as soft as possible and blend with the sand. Needless to say, his anger. When these people had all chased far away, Abu poked his head out and spat out the sand in his mouth: "Stepping on me like a sandbag. I'll make you pay for it!" When he was a vagrant, Abu could only endure passively, but now it seemed that his temper was much worse than before.
Walking in the desert, two legs could never be faster than the four legs of a horse. But fortunately, Abu knew where they were going. Before dawn, Abu also returned to the coniferous forest and saw the horses parked outside the forest. The two people being pursued had already hidden in the forest. The pursuers left a warrior to look after the horses. The others were not here. It seemed that they had chased into the forest.
Those horses looked really good. Abu thought to himself, should he steal a horse and leave as compensation for being stepped on. So Abu slowly approached those horses. Although the warrior guarding the horses was very vigilant, in this environment where Abu had lived for five years, Abu believed that even his teacher Lan would not find him easily.
Abu attached his body to a tree and then moved slowly like a gecko. When he was vagrant before, stealing things was commonplace for him. So Abu wouldn't feel guilty about stealing a horse now. Moreover, these people had stepped on him for no reason. Even if they didn't know that Abu was hiding in the sand, Abu still thought it was their fault.
Less than two meters away from a white horse on the outermost side, Abu was confident that he could jump on the horse and then escape. In the knowledge of assassins, there were many ways to escape. Abu's mind was now full of things his teacher had once taught, especially that sentence his teacher had said countless times: "An assassin cannot fail!"
The warrior had already taken off his veil. He looked about thirty years old and was very tough. But his mind was all on the forest. His pair of eyes kept looking inside. And there had been no sound coming from the forest. If the mage used lightning magic, he should be able to hear it here. It seemed that they hadn't found the two people being pursued yet. But the horses of the two people being pursued were also here, so there was no need to worry that they would escape from elsewhere.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Although the warrior's vigilance was not high, Abu wrongly guessed the vigilance of the horses. When Abu suddenly jumped up and pounced on the white horse he had his eye on, the battle-tested white horse sensed the danger. The beautiful white horse suddenly turned around and let out a long neigh and raised its hind legs to kick Abu. Abu didn't expect to be attacked by a horse. He quickly crouched down and got under the horse's belly. The other horses also made warning sounds one after another. The warrior ten meters away drew his sword and walked quickly over. As the most loyal warhorse of a warrior, it would not deceive its master.
The warrior walked over cautiously, holding a bronze shield in one hand and tightly grasping a long sword in the other. Although he didn't see Abu, he could still feel the dangerous aura. The warrior certainly knew his task this time. For a warrior, this was also a task that could only succeed and not fail. He absolutely couldn't let those two people go. Otherwise, the consequences would be serious.
The two people being pursued lured the others into the forest and then circled back to take the horses. Of course, this situation would not fail to occur. Moreover, the warrior guarding the horses knew that among the two people, there was a strong intermediate swordsman who was very difficult to deal with. The warrior guarding the horses slowly approached the white horse. He found that the white horse was very restless and kept jumping up, but he couldn't see anyone.
The warrior couldn't help but feel a little strange. He even stretched his neck and looked over here. However, at the moment when he stretched his neck, something stuck to his neck. He felt a chill in his throat and then knew nothing.
Abu's heart pounded wildly for a while. Although he had made full preparations for this assassination and had thought of seven or eight countermeasures, he didn't expect to succeed with one strike. The warrior who was still full of life just now was now just a lifeless corpse. This at least proved that he hadn't studied in vain in the past five years. He believed that if Lan saw this, Lan would praise him, although Lan rarely praised him.
No matter what level of warrior this was, in short, he was now dead under Abu's dagger. Abu's dagger was left to him by Lan. Made of some unknown material, this dagger was very strange. It didn't reflect light in the sun. After killing someone, there would be no blood left on the dagger.
Abu, who grew up in wars since childhood, was no stranger to the dead. So when the initial shock of killing disappeared, Abu was even more delighted with his own skills. So Abu now had other ideas. Now he didn't just want to steal a horse anymore. Abu thought for a while and then disappeared into the coniferous forest with a flash.
In a cave, the two people being pursued were panting heavily. One was a nobleman in his forties and the other was a swordsman in his twenties. The clothes on the two people were tattered and it seemed that they had been pursued for a long time. The young warrior watched the movement outside the cave vigilantly. While the nobleman was still very calm at this time. There was not much panic on his face. Instead, he was thinking about something.
This cave seemed very large and very clean. The nobleman looked around for a long time and then asked, "Gu Yang, why do I always feel that someone seems to have lived here?"
Gu Yang was only looking at the movement outside the cave and didn't turn around: "My lord, I think so too. But I haven't found any trace left by anyone here. If someone really lived here, he hasn't been back for at least two months."
The nobleman was very confident in Gu Yang's strength. Now what he was really thinking about was still how to escape the pursuit of those people. It was now early in the morning. The sky hadn't fully brightened yet. The lush coniferous forest blocked the not very bright sunlight. The forest was still a little dark. In the oasis in the desert, there wasn't even a single bird call. But this oasis wasn't large. Those people would find this cave sooner or later.
