C1895 Ji Ming in Distress
"At that time, I killed two vicious beasts and was preparing to snatch the Profound Crystal Stone, but who would have thought that at the critical moment, a few people would come here. One of them was Peng Hongda, and he was the leader as well.
"My status is low, so naturally, I can't do anything to them. However, I will always remember this matter in my heart, even after that, Peng Hongda became stronger and stronger."
"So, I wanted to save you after seeing you being hunted down by him. It's a pity that although his eyes are injured, I'm still not his match. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have let go of such a good opportunity!"
"So that's how it is." Lin Long nodded. Hearing Ji Ming's words, he naturally understood what was going on.
"But aren't you worried that he will deal with you?" Lin Long asked.
"Of course I'm worried, but I've covered my face afterwards, so he can't tell who I am at all." Ji Ming said.
"Then that's good." Lin Long said.
"Alright, Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, I have something to do." Ji Ming added.
"Alright then." Lin Long nodded.
With that, Lin Long left the place.
After that, he went to Hu Wen's residence. What made him happy was that Hu Wen was inside.
After knocking on the door, he opened it and revealed Hu Wen's face.
Seeing Lin Long appear, Hu Wen frowned, at the same time opening up a crack for Lin Long to enter.
Lin Long immediately walked in.
"What's the matter?" Hu Wen immediately asked.
"It's like this, I was chased by someone, that person is Peng Hongda, someone with the strength of an Iron Sword. Luckily, I was lucky enough to escape, but the next time he catches me, I probably won't have this kind of luck, so, I hope you guys can help me." Lin Long went straight to the point.
"I have to ask about this. Come back tomorrow afternoon." Hu Wen said.
"Alright then." Lin Long said.
With that, he left the area and returned to his residence.
Soon, it was noon of the second day. He directly came to Hu Wen's place.
"I can help you deal with that person, but only after three days."
"This..." Lin Long could not help but become hesitant.
Because he didn't know if Peng Hongda would come out and deal with him when he went out. After all, he didn't know if Peng Hongda's eyes had recovered in this period of time.
If his eyesight wasn't good, how would he dare to follow her out?
"Don't worry, Peng Hongda's eyes have almost recovered. In three days, if you go out, he will definitely follow you." Hu Wen said.
Presumably, Hu Wen also knew about Peng Hongda.
"In that case, I am relieved." Lin Long nodded.
? ?.
What Lin Long did not know was that at this time, Peng Hongda had already followed Ji Ming out of the camp.
After confirming that the one who helped Lin Long escape was Ji Ming, Peng Hongda had already started to pay attention to him, and his eyesight had improved quite a bit in the last two or three days.
He did not know that Ji Ming was the one who had his Profound Crystal Stone stolen by them. It could be said that he had completely forgotten about that matter.
To him, Ji Ming was someone who wanted Lin Long to escape. He could not let this kind of person go even if he did not know why the other party would do this.
Ji Ming also didn't think that Peng Hongda would find out, so he didn't pay attention to it.
Only when he entered the northern mountains of the camp and was stopped by Peng Hongda did he realize what had happened.
"Senior Brother Peng, what are you doing?" Ji Ming frowned.
As long as the other side knew who he was, he would immediately expose himself.
"Ha ha, Ji Ming, why are you asking?" Peng Hongda sneered, then said, "A few days ago, was the person who stopped me from letting that Lin Li escape?"
Many people in the camp, including Yao Hongsheng, were aware of Peng Hongda's recent injuries. However, Peng Hongda said that he had been injured in the world of copper and iron, so they did not pursue the matter.
"Senior Brother Peng, what are you talking about? Lin Li? What are you talking about?" Ji Ming said in confusion.
"Still pretending?!" Peng Hongda sneered again.
After saying this, he directly took out his Symbol Iron Sword.
Seeing him like this, Ji Ming quickly took out his rune stone sword.
"A mere Rock Sword Level warrior actually dared to confront me, who has the strength of an Iron Sword Level warrior. You are truly audacious!" As he laughed coldly, Peng Hongda directly struck out towards Ji Ming.
Ji Ming quickly raised his sword to block, but how could he block that strike? With a "kacha" sound, his stone sword was broken. Not only that, the sword Qi had left a wound on his neck as fresh blood constantly dripped down.
Fortunately, it was only a superficial wound.
"Why? Ji Ming, are you still not admitting to it?" Peng Hongda sneered.
In a short period of time, he had already confirmed that the Ji Ming in front of him was the person who had saved Lin Long back then.
Ji Ming didn't expect that Peng Hongda would find him later, so he didn't even try to hide his voice at the time.
At this time, Ji Ming knew that he could no longer hide it. He said coldly, "That's right, I was the one who let Junior Apprentice Brother Lin Li escape that time!"
"Very good." Peng Hongda sneered again, then said, "Ji Ming, you and I have no enmity with each other, why did you help that brat escape?"
At this time, Ji Ming naturally could not remember who he was. He sneered, "Senior Brother Peng, have you forgotten about how you snatched the Profound Crystal Stone from someone else many years ago?"
"The stealing of the Profound Crystal Stone?" Peng Hongda was stunned. He had robbed a lot of people, so how could he remember who the person in front of him was?
"At that time, it was in the northern mountains. It didn't seem too far away." Ji Ming said.
"In other words, you're here for revenge?" Peng Hongda said.
"That's right, I am here for revenge!" Ji Ming said coldly.
"Tsk tsk, with this strength of yours, what kind of revenge are you going to take?" Peng Hongda sneered, "So many years and you still have so little strength. I say, you, why are you so mad?"
Hearing this, Ji Ming couldn't help but get angry. The rune stone sword in his hand fiercely flew towards Peng Hongda.
Peng Hongda didn't even give him a chance. Just as he moved his hand, Peng Hongda's rune sword swept over.
Ah!
With a miserable scream, not only was the rune stone sword in Ji Ming's hand knocked away, but his left arm was also cut off from his shoulder.
"Brat, let me tell you, if I didn't use you to deal with Lin Li, I would've killed you right now!" Peng Hongda sneered as he looked at Ji Ming.
Then, he directly knocked Ji Ming out and locked him up in a nearby cave.
He had a few followers in the camp, but he didn't think about it. After all, there were too many people to talk about.
After locking up Ji Ming, Peng Hongda returned back to the camp, and this time, he directly went to find Lin Long.
"Senior Brother Peng, could it be that you can't hold it in and want to make a move inside the camp?" Looking at the one-eyed Peng Hongda, Lin Long said with a smile.
"Brat, let me tell you, that Ji Ming has already been captured by me." Peng Hongda sneered.
"What?" Lin Long could not help but frown.
He already believed the other party's words when he said Ji Ming's name.
"Ji Ming is locked up in a cave in the north. If you want him to come back alive, then you must come with me to that cave." Peng Hongda said.
Saying that, he threw out one of his arms and said proudly, "See, this is Ji Ming's hand."
After a short pause, he continued, "Of course, you can just watch and not save him."
"Give me some time to think about it." Lin Long frowned.
"Yes... "I'll give you the time for a cup of tea. I'll wait for you at the north gate. If you don't come, then Ji Ming will die." Peng Hongda said without hesitation.
Presumably, he was not worried that Lin Long would stir up any trouble at all.
With that, Peng Hongda left. After Peng Hongda left, Lin Long headed straight for Hu Wen's residence. At this time, he could only ask Hu Wen for help.
Fortunately, Hu Wen was in his room.
"What's wrong?" Hu Wen asked.
"That Peng Hongda caught a friend of mine, he wants me to follow him now, otherwise I will kill my friend." That Peng Hongda captured a friend of mine, he wants me to follow him now, otherwise I will kill my friend. Lin Long said.
"You don't have to." Hu Wen frowned.
"No, if I don't go, my friend will be killed by him." Lin Long said.
Ji Ming had saved his life, so naturally, he couldn't just watch Ji Ming get killed by Peng Hongda.
"Then there's nothing I can do to help." Hu Wen said as he spread out his hands.
"Alright then." Lin Long said helplessly.
With that, he left the area and headed towards the north gate.
However, when he was preparing to go to the north gate, he dodged to the side. He knew that if he went there, it would be of no use. Not only would he not be able to save Ji Ming, he would also get involved.
Unknowingly, the time it takes to make a cup of tea had passed.
Seeing that Lin Long did not show up on time, Peng Hongda's face could not help but become ugly.
However, he still restrained himself, and then, another hour had passed. Seeing that Lin Long still had not appeared, Peng Hongda finally could not sit still.
"Damned Lin Li, do you believe that I'll just go over and kill that Ji Ming?" He growled in a low voice.
With Lin Long's divine sense, she could naturally hear what he was saying clearly.
However, Peng Hongda obviously did not dare to go and kill Ji Ming, because there was no use in doing so. Thus, he left the North Gate and walked towards Lin Long's residence.
Soon, he once again appeared at the north gate.
"Lin Li, you brat, you are ruthless. Then I will be even more ruthless than you. I will cut off one of Ji Ming's ears and give it to you!" With that, Peng Hongda walked out of the North Gate with a gloomy expression.
As for Lin Long, he quietly followed behind him. At the same time, Lin Long released the bamboo mouse.
What Lin Long did was to let the Bamboo Mouse feel Ji Ming's Qi, then wait for Peng Hongda to rush over to the cave and rescue Ji Ming.
It wasn't because Lin Long had made the Bamboo Mouse remember Ji Ming's aura, but it was because the Bamboo Mouse had used its broken hand just now.
It was dangerous, but he had to do it to save Ji Ming.
Soon, the Bamboo Mouse sensed Ji Ming's presence.
Not far, Lin Long thought to himself.
However, it would be difficult for him to directly rush to Peng Hongda at this time to save Ji Ming, because Peng Hongda's speed was very fast. By the time he had circled around and arrived at the cave, Peng Hongda was already there.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, several vicious beasts appeared in front of Peng Hongda. This was because these vicious beasts could only be dealt with by Peng Hongda.
Lin Long naturally seized this good opportunity to dash forward.
After running for a while, he finally arrived at a cave. According to the Bamboo Mouse's senses, it was this cave.
Through his spiritual will, Lin Long could also sense that there was a person inside.
He immediately rushed in. What made him happy was that there was indeed someone inside, and it was Ji Ming.
Ji Ming didn't look too good. His severed arm wasn't bandaged, which clearly affected him.
Seeing that someone had appeared, Ji Ming opened his eyes. The moment he saw Lin Long, his face immediately revealed a happy expression.
"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin..." he said.
However, his voice was obviously weak and powerless.
"Senior Brother Ji Ming, don't talk." Lin Long said, as he loosened the rope that bound Ji Ming and let him take a top-quality healing pellet.
After that, he immediately brought Ji Ming out of here.
Who would have thought that right after leaving the cave, there would be a person dashing towards them from the distance. It was Peng Hongda.
There was no way for them to escape now, so Lin Long could only take Ji Ming and hide behind a large tree.
He could only hope that Peng Hongda didn't search the area for them, or else he would definitely find them.
As soon as they were hidden, Pengoda came to the opening.
"Brat, I'll take one of Ji Ming's ears back right now!" Peng Hongda said angrily as he walked in.
Soon, his angry roar came from inside the cave, "Damn it, where is this Ji Ming?"
After a series of furious roars, Peng Hongda rushed out of the cave.
"Just who saved Ji Ming? Are they still nearby?" Peng Hongda muttered to himself as soon as he came out.
After wandering around the cave entrance for a while, his expression became even more unsightly because he did not find any traces.
After a moment, he frowned, "Let's search the vicinity first. If we can't find it, we'll expand the area."
With that, he began to search the area.
Looking at Peng Hongda who was not far away, Lin Long frowned. He did not think that the situation would develop in the worst direction.
