Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1493: Laying a False Trail

After running thirty or forty miles at a stretch, the earth's Bao Xiong was nearing its limit and finally slowed down. Ran Yue glanced behind and saw no sign of pursuing troops, feeling slightly relieved.

"No troops are chasing us from behind."

With the earth's Bao Xiong walking, Li Feng finally had time to examine Zi Yan's injury.

Ran Yue turned her body and also looked, saying: "The arrow she was hit with didn't strike any vital spot, but the opponent clearly used an armor-piercing wolf fang arrow. The arrow tip has three rear-facing barbs, extremely sharp. Once it penetrates the human body, pulling it out causes severe wound damage."

"I have some medicine here that can stop the bleeding."

"But the wound is big, and it's inevitable that it will leave a scar after healing."

The armor-piercing wolf fang arrow is a very brutal arrow with strong penetration power, and the most terrifying part is the crisscrossing barbs at the arrowhead, which cause secondary injury when pulled out.

Pulling out this arrowhead would at least take a few ounces of flesh with it, and if there are nearby meridians or blood vessels, it's even more dangerous.

"Just pull it out, I won't die."

Zi Yan gritted her teeth and said.

Li Feng examined the wolf fang arrow. Though the armor deflected it slightly, the arrowhead still pierced Zi Yan's shoulder. The only fortunate thing was that the arrowhead didn't penetrate deeply, not damaging the bone.

Li Feng reached out to grasp the arrow shaft, a streak of Purple Flame appeared from his fingertips and wrapped around the shaft.

Under the burning of the Purple Flame, the arrow shaft quickly disintegrated into powder.

"Bear with it."

Seeing the Purple Flame was controllable, Li Feng directly manipulated it to burn along the shaft, soon the shaft burned completely into Zi Yan's body.

"Ah!"

Zi Yan gasped for air in pain.

"Endure it."

Zi Yan bit her teeth tightly, though the heat from the burning arrowhead by the Purple Flame was still unbearably painful.

As the barbs on the arrowhead were melted and burned away, Li Feng quickly forced the arrowhead out, and Zi Yan's shoulder stopped bleeding due to the burning.

The metallic droplet enveloped by the Purple Flame was flicked away by Li Feng, then he undid Zi Yan's upper armor to check the wound.

Li Feng then used a surgical knife to cut open the wound again, scraping away the meat near the wound until blood flowed out. After cleaning it thoroughly, he applied golden sore medicine and finally bandaged it.

"It's not a big problem, resting for a few days will heal it."

In Kunlun World, people generally cultivate; their physical fitness is strong. As long as it's not a fatal injury, some skin trauma will heal quickly, and no complications will arise.

"Will taking down the Gate City Captain cause us trouble, considering the other party is from the Gate City garrison?"

Zi Yan re-dressed her armor, speaking with some concern.

She hoped to quietly enter Ancestor Dragon City along the way, but things went against her wishes.

"Yes, the other party mentioned they arranged people behind to block our route, clearly there are insiders aware of the situation."

"If they discover Chen Long and his people's deaths and report it, the Gate City won't let it go easily."

Ran Yue also worried about this.

"Is there no justice, they mugged us."

Xiao Luobing widened her eyes and said.

Ran Yue shook her head, saying: "Although it is so, sometimes reasoning doesn't work, especially since our identities are sensitive. If you truly were clan children, why would we need to run just now."

"If it were other clan children, they'd have returned to Gate City to demand justice long ago."

Li Feng certainly thought about these things too.

"Ran Yue is right, our identities make it impossible to deal with Gate City people, if exposed, it would mean bigger trouble."

"However, we should have some time. It's unlikely for them to confirm Chen Long and others are dead immediately, as fifteen ambushed four, with victory in sight."

"Moreover, their private interception is evidently an underhanded act, avoiding exposure. They won't report it immediately."

"But once they find Chen Long dead, they will surely report, as Chen Long is a Colonel, not a mere Warrior."

"The map."

Li Feng said.

Ran Yue responded and took out a leather beast map from a basket beside her.

"Our previous route followed this official road, the road leading from Gate City to Ancestor Dragon City, with several towns and manors along the way."

"Now we will do this."

"Hmm? You want to go back?"

Xiao Luobing looked at Li Feng's pointed route, raising her eyes to look.

"But the return is sideways, we'll go along Great Rift Valley northward, detour to Ancestor Dragon City from the north, entering from the north."

"This detours a long way."

"Detouring means safety, besides they will definitely not think we'll detour this far."

Zi Yan agreed and said.

"Furthermore, these two earth's Bao Xiong should also be discarded. Ran Yue, can you let them walk in another direction by themselves?"

Ran Yue nodded: "No problem, just give them a command, they'll follow a road to the end."

Xiao Luobing blinked her eyes: "Really, we'll have to walk?"

"Let's do it this way then."

Xiao Luobing's opinion was directly ignored by Li Feng, fortunately, Li Feng and others didn't have too much luggage to carry, as most had been packed and handled by Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

With some food and clothes, the four abandoned the mounts, letting them advance southwest while Li Feng and the others left the main road, detouring north.

A night passed.

The next day.

A squad of Dragon Cavalry appeared galloping on the main road, a scout stood in the middle of the road, blocking their path.

The Dragon Cavalry immediately stopped.

"Camp Captain."

"Where are they?"

"Reporting, they left the main road, heading southwest. If traveling overnight, they should be hundreds of miles away by now."

"Left the main road, hmph, indeed suspicious. If nothing shady, why run and deliberately leave the main road."

"Release the wind falcons and chase them. No matter if it's hundreds of miles or thousands, dig them out."

The camp captain's face turned sinister because Chen Long's unauthorized exit being killed had directly disturbed the newly appointed General, causing him to receive a scolding.

The key point is, your unauthorized exit to rob was one thing, but being counter-killed was rather embarrassing.

A rightful Gate City Colonel, dying like this is rather disgraceful.

"Yes."

Immediately two scouts on each shoulder, two wind falcons took flight, starting the search southwest, though after a night had passed, hundreds of miles distance, if demarcated as a semi-circle zone, the area is not small.

"Divide into five squads, disperse in a fan shape, and pursue, scouts coordinating in the center, report to squads upon any discovery."

"Fail to capture them and the General won't let me off, you won't escape easily either."

The camp captain, having spoken, led his Guard charging out, other Colonels followed, heading in different directions, cursing the dead Chen Long in their hearts.

But no choice, with the General newly appointed, you made a blunder, giving him a chance to burn his three fires.
