A rain was enough time for Wei Feng to figure out the composition of this caravan. Apart from the handymen and the horsemen driving the cars, the largest number of people were them, dozens of people traveling with the caravan, followed by the caravan. There are two teams of twenty guards, plus a young-looking captain, a total of twenty-one people.
There are some complicated patterns on the long sword hanging on the captain's waist. Wei Feng has also seen it on Zhai Zhiming's three-foot green peak, but the patterns on his long sword are more delicate.
In addition, there seemed to be two nobles in the carriage in the middle of the caravan. Wei Feng didn't know what was wrong with these so-called nobles to stay in a caravan that needed to cross mountains and sleep in the open air. Instead of taking the official escort route.
It was already the eighth day of the caravan's departure. The light rain had not stopped intermittently since entering the mountain forest yesterday. It has continued to rain until now. Listening to the conversation between the caravan leaders, it seems that there are still two days to go before leaving the mountain, and then they will arrive at the destination along the way. The first big city - Xihe County.
Xihe County is also in Yanzhou and is a rare big city. Compared with Changping County, which is prosperous in commerce, it is no less generous or even more generous.
Naturally, Wei Feng, a country boy, has never been there, but the size of Changping County is about the same as the small county town in the previous life. Even if Xihe County is bigger, it can be huge, so his expectations are not high.
Ever since Buji and Bu Ji accepted the rabbit leg handed over by Wei Feng yesterday, the relationship between the three of them has become closer.
This kind of closeness is not obvious and can only be reflected in some details. For example, Wei Feng is no longer among the people Bu Ji deliberately avoids when fetching water. Wei Feng falls behind from time to time, and Bu Ji can also be found looking for him with his eyes. Location.
The caravan has been traveling non-stop this morning and did not stop to rest until noon, which made many travelers complain.
Wei Feng naturally knew the reason. The continuous light rain made the mountain road slippery. Although he had been on the road all morning, the actual distance he walked was not as far as yesterday. There were still several miles to the next water pool. He estimated the time. When the crowd wasn't paying attention, he broke away from the group and hid in the forest.
The mountain forest on a rainy day has almost become Wei Feng's home field. After all, he has been accustomed to this kind of terrain since he was eleven years old.
This mountain forest is called Mao'er Mountain Forest. It is said that it borders Shiwan Barren Mountain. The forest outside the barren mountain is shaped like a cat's ear, hence the name.
The terrain of Mao'er Mountain Forest is undulating but the slope is very gentle. If it were not for the height difference from the plains, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a forest. This forest path is quite spacious and the terrain is gentle, so Shengshi Commercial Bank chose this route.
Wei Feng walked towards the northeast with a clear goal, which was the front of the team and the direction of the hare he had targeted.
After jogging for a while, he found a place with relatively sparse leaves and branches, called out the longbow in the equipment slot, and skillfully pulled out an arrow from his backpack. Wei Feng closed his eyes, raised his head to the sky and pointed in a certain direction. He drew the long bow and loosened the string.
The arrow roared out, passed through the layers of branches and leaves, and disappeared into the forest along a parabola. From Wei Feng's current position, it was impossible to see where the arrow was flying, but the rain sensor would faithfully feedback the results to him. .
"The effect was good, but it was a pity that it almost hit the target."
The arrow landed a few centimeters away from the side of a gray rabbit in the distance. The arrow pierced the tree trunk and made a "doo" sound. The eating hare was startled and jumped far away. Then it started running wildly in the next moment. Run away from the arrow whose tail feathers are still trembling.
He is experimenting with a shooting method that uses rain sensing instead of eyes. In theory, this method will be far more accurate than ordinary archery methods.
Because the rain will feedback to Wei Feng not only the distance, but also the wind speed, humidity, the enemy's movement status, etc. These are things that the eyes cannot do.
It was his first time trying it. As a junior brother, his performance was much better than expected. He just needs to practice more. This shooting method will be his new trump card.
He trotted towards the location of the arrow to retrieve it, and then planned to search for a hare again. However, as soon as he closed his eyes, he discovered that several people had entered his range of perception.
"Woo?" Seeing that he had not taken any action, Cang Gou let out a confused cry.
"Shh, help me guard the surroundings." Wei Feng did not open his eyes, but whispered to Cang Gou.
"Woo!" The gray dog immediately approached Wei Feng, raised its ears and widened its eyes, looking around vigilantly, although it didn't know what to be wary of.
------------------
In the forest of Mao'er Mountain, a young man whose clothes were stained with blood was running ahead. A sword penetrating wound in his chest and abdomen was particularly eye-catching.
There were three figures following him not far or near, and from time to time, a cold arrow whistled from behind, forcing the young man to only listen to the sound to identify his position, and then dodge.
In fact, it is difficult to control the accuracy of shooting with bows and arrows while moving, let alone shooting at moving targets in an environment such as mountains and forests. Unless you are a monk who specializes in archery, it is unlikely to hit.
The young man also knew this, but he didn't dare to gamble. He was already injured. If he was hit by another arrow, he would definitely die.
The people chasing behind also knew this, so they would shoot an arrow every once in a while, forcing the young man in front to dodge, leaving him without enough energy and time to adjust his breath. As long as he could not adjust his breath, the injuries on his body would be Sooner or later he can be worn down, and then he can be taken down effortlessly.
The young man in front was also very anxious. He fled all the way from the Shiwan Barren Mountain to this place. The sword energy in his body was raging. Due to the continuous deterioration of his injuries, his strength had fallen from Tuomai Realm to Cave Mansion Realm.
From here to Xihe County, there is still at least one day's journey, and I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to use my Yuan Power. By then, I'm afraid it will be a little stronger than the ordinary body refining realm.
However, the three Cave Realm monks chasing him behind him made it impossible for him to regulate his breathing and deal with his injuries. He secretly resented that he had managed to survive such a dangerous situation in the deserted mountains, but he was unexpectedly killed by these three wild wolves in the Maoer Mountain Forest. Keep an eye on.
Wild wolves are the scornful name given to those desperate cultivators who are waiting for opportunities in the world of Shiwan Barren Mountain. These people are mainly active in the mottled lake and Shiwan Barren Mountain, and their activities have always been to kill people and sell goods.
The consistent code of conduct of the wild wolves is to bully the weak and avoid the strong, and there is no morality or rules in their behavior. No matter where they are from or what level of monk they are, as long as they feel there is an opportunity, they dare to follow up and wait for an opportunity to bite them hard. .
Feeling that there was not much Yuan Power left in his body, except for the part that needed to be used to suppress the injury, the part that could be used could barely be used to fight to the death. He felt fierce in his heart, gritted his teeth, exerted force under his feet, turned sharply, and stopped. Running away, he hid himself behind a tree trunk as thick as a bucket.
