Besides, Zheng Xiu, Chu Susu and Ruchen, carried the scroll on their backs and headed north together.
Along the way they encountered several waves of night guards intercepting them.
Even though the night guards are just a few, no matter how many they come, they are still suspected of sending their lives thousands of miles away.
But in the face of endless magic and cunning, Zheng Xiu did not dare to be careless.
There were more and more ravens in the sky ahead. Occasionally late at night, Zheng Xiu seemed to hear rapid breathing and wheezing in his ears.
Chu Susu said that it was the raven people approaching the target.
After "escape" all the way, it was February 2 in a blink of an eye.
Daqian, Yizhou.
This is a dangerous place called "Ghost Crying Forest" by local residents.
The terrain in the forest is rugged, with hills high up, underground rivers running low down, and even pits and caves.
In the caves scattered throughout the Ghostly Weeping Forest, wolves and ferocious beasts build their nests here, and they come out of their nests every night to look for food.
Zheng Xiu and the others abandoned their horses and chose to go north on foot. The reason they passed through the Ghost Crying Forest was because of the dangers here.
The common people are afraid of wolves, but the strong men are fearless.
They are just wolves, not fierce ghosts, so what are they afraid of?
When the wolf comes to kill, there will be meat to eat.
With this thought in mind, the macho man entered the Devil's Crying Forest, but he did not encounter a pack of wolves or ferocious beasts.
Later, Ruchen revealed the truth with one sentence: "Brother Zheng, I can smell the smell of blood on your body from a hundred steps away. The wolves are not fools, so how could they choose you as their prey?"
Zheng, who had lost his barbecue, could only prepare for the worst and prepare to go through the Ghost Crying Forest and enter the depths of Yizhou.
But it happened to be such a dangerous road, and Ye Weiyang still caught up with him.
laugh!
The strong wind hit, Zheng Xiu's ears twitched slightly, and he reached out suddenly and pushed down Chu Susu's head.
A few strands of hair were cut off by the arrow wind and slowly floated down.
A long arrow penetrated ten trees and was finally nailed deep in the woods.
Not long after entering Yizhou, Zheng Xiu and the others were sniped by archers.
This archer's archery skills are like a god, and with the combination of thaumaturgy and archery, he exerts terrifying power.
The spiraling long arrow is comparable to a sniper bullet. Even if Zheng Xiu and the other three are hiding behind a tree, the spiraling long arrow can still penetrate the barriers of the woods and kill people from a thousand steps away without missing a hit.
Zheng Xiu was sniped by this mysterious sniper for a day and a night.
After entering the Ghost Crying Forest, the opponent appeared and disappeared, shooting a total of eleven arrows.
Only now did Zheng Xiu deeply understand the horror of ultra-long-range sniper-killing thaumaturgy.
Whenever Zheng Xiu and the others thought they had escaped the sniper's attack, he would shoot an arrow in this direction without warning.
The target of the opponent's arrow was not the macho man, but Chu Susu and Ruchen.
If Zheng Xiu hadn't come to the rescue several times, the two of them would have been pierced between the eyebrows by each other's sharp arrows.
The pursuit with Ye Weiyang has reached such a situation. Ye Weiyang has long known how terrifying the "macho painter" is, but now the person who comes to seize the painting finally has a hard time, and it is no longer the head that comes to the door.
Patience, ruthlessness, precision, and good at stealth, the other party has all the excellent qualities that a hunter should have.
The other party is like an experienced hunter who is chasing a tiger.
The opponent was hiding in the dark, consuming the prey's physical strength and patience with one arrow after another, looking for weaknesses in the prey, and then succeeded with one arrow, taking off the head of the richest man and hanging it on the city gate.
When he shot the first arrow at Ruchen, Zheng Xiu was vaguely aware of the other person's thoughts.
The first is to test whether Zheng Xiu will save his teammates.
The second is to first weaken the overall strength of Zheng Xiu and his party in a one-versus-three situation.
If Zheng Xiu didn't help, he could get rid of Zheng Xiu's two teammates. If Zheng Xiu comes to the rescue, he can also make Zheng Xiu tired of dealing with it. In the end, it will be beneficial. Classic jungle hunting style.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng!"
Looking at a few strands of long hair falling down, Chu Susu felt lingering fear and hurriedly hid her whereabouts.
The three of them hurriedly moved in the Ghost Crying Forest, and there happened to be a sound of rushing wind hidden among the vines, which was a narrow cave hidden. Without saying a word, Zheng Xiu pushed aside the vines with both hands. Based on the direction of the arrow, he estimated the approximate location of the opponent and temporarily hid behind the stone wall.
The three of them hid behind a rugged stone wall and temporarily avoided each other's sight. Chu Susu took a breather and said: "The other party's archery skills reminded the slave family of a person. Twenty-eight stars, one of the seven stars in the west. , Kui Lang. Legend has it that he once lived in the desert for a long time, and his ancestors were taught by experts, and passed down their unpredictable archery skills. Later, when we peeked into the door, his thaumaturgy and archery skills complemented each other, making it even more terrifying."
"Just one of the twenty-eight constellations?"
Although Zheng Xiu had known that Xingxiu and Xingxiu could not be generalized, when he heard Chu Susu mention that the other party was just Xingxu, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.
According to him, in terms of archery, concealment, and hunting skills, the opponent can be said to be different from the "unmoving sword" Gu Qiutang. Zheng Xiu cannot understand why such a person is just a mere twenty-eight stars. The same level as Douxie.
Chu Susu couldn't hide the worry in her brows, and shook her head slightly: "The Nu family doesn't know, maybe it's because Kui Lang is alone and has no background, so he can't be promoted to the twelfth month. The reason why the Nu family knows this person is because a few years ago, he He once entered the desert alone, trying to find the site of an incomplete building. The owner of the building sent fifteen "disabled people" and a building leader, who was also the "mountain leader" who was the best at defensive skills among the ten leaders, to drive him away. Out of the desert. But from the beginning to the end, Kui Lang and Shan Kuai never met. They fought all night long across ten miles of yellow sand."
Zheng Xiu listened quietly.
Chu Susu continued: "Later Shan Kui returned to the building and said with lingering fear, if it weren't for his thaumaturgy of 'returning', which could return the sharp arrows shot by the opponent to where he was, Shan Kui would not be able to avoid the opponent's unpredictable behavior. After escaping with arrows, Kui Lang couldn't do anything to Shan Kui in the end, and Shan Kui couldn't do anything to Kui Lang, so the two of them let it go."
"In short, there is a 90% chance that the person sent by Ye Weiyang to hunt down the three of us is Kui Lang himself. No one except him can have such unpredictable and terrifying archery skills." Chu Susu turned her face, she Suddenly, he realized that he had accidentally revealed Shan Kui's magical skills, and quickly changed the subject: "I wonder if Brother Zheng has any way to deal with him?"
Zheng Xiu shook his head.
Chu Susu's face changed slightly: "Even you?"
Zheng Xiudao: "Since humans are not immortals, how can they be invincible in the world?"
First, he politely and modestly stated that he was not "omnipotent and invincible." Under Chu Susu's strange gaze, Zheng Xiu leisurely said, "But it's not completely impossible."
Chu Susu looked at Zheng Xiu's profile hidden in the darkness.
Zheng Xiu did not show off and said with a smile: "The premise is that I can get close to him."
Chu Susu said: "The slave family has a way."
"Um?"
Chu Susu's performance along the way was not suitable for dealing with the enemy.
On the contrary, Ruchen showed all kinds of strange things. Sometimes he walked like the wind, sometimes he blew out a breath of fragrant wind to stun the other party, and sometimes he acted like a child, rubbing some movable clay figures out of mud to interfere with the night guard's actions. He performed all kinds of magic tricks, Zheng Xiu was amazed and curious about "what kind of Zen" did Ruchen, an ascetic monk and a foreigner, be able to perform such a variety of magical arts.
Ruchen himself once said that he practiced "heart Zen", but Zheng Xiu certainly didn't believe it.
In fact, when Zheng Xiu tapped Ruchen's head and triggered those two prompts, Zheng Xiu could hardly hold back the surprise in his heart, which appeared on his face.
He was first surprised that Ruchen was actually a born [ascetic] stranger.
No one would have thought that walking in different paths, three natural "strangers", [Prisoner], [Ascetic], and [Executioner], would have walked together.
It's just that for Zheng Xiu, "strangers" are just like that after seeing them too much. No one will have a few more eyes or arms. Strangers are still human beings, and the surprise is only temporary.
What really surprised Zheng Xiu was that when he knocked on Ruchen's head, he discovered a ghost named [Qixin Town] at the same time.
Because Zheng Xiu was exhausted from Ye Weiyang's pursuit all the way, and because he was carrying Gongsun Mo's treasure, he had no time to escape and return to his true body, so he had no time to enter the heart prison to see what happened to the [Ghost · Qixin Town] he accidentally discovered. where.
Zheng Xiu thought about it and found out that he once triggered the [Xiangu Temple] ghost ghost by directly touching a part of the body of "Beautiful Fairy Girl". This means that the action of "hitting the monk's head" can trigger the ghost ghost prompt, not necessarily because of Ruchen's head. The "ghost" on his head is Ruchen's head, which is closely related to the ghost named "Qixin Town".
[Qixin Town] had no time to explore, so Zheng Xiu had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
The most important thing now is to find a secluded place, a place that Ye Weiyang can't easily touch, enter the scroll, and rescue Feng Bei.
Zheng Xiu has always felt guilty about Feng Bei.
Recalling the scene in Jiangjun Town where his former colleagues suddenly turned against each other and regarded Feng Bei as an "inhuman monster", Zheng Xiu felt uneasy.
He always felt that it was because he rescued Feng Bei in Baili Village that Feng Bei suffered all this.
Zheng Xiu is a well-known "rich businessman with conscience" in the world. The focus of this trademark is obviously the word "conscience". If Fengbei is abandoned today, Zheng Xiu will always feel that he has no face to face the word "conscience", let alone the Zheng family. Forefathers and ancestors, if he dies one day, he will be scolded by his father.
The purpose of Zheng Xiu's trip was clear.
First save Fengbei, then enter Ruchen... No, enter "Qixin Town".
The original intention of saving people was pure, and the gains and improvements Zheng Xiu gained from the two ghosts were just the icing on the cake and the bonus dessert.
He arranged everything clearly.
Now the only obstacle is Ye Weiyang.
Zheng Xiu even found an opportunity a few days ago, pretending that he had no intention of asking Ruchen, and asked if he could "walk together" in the future. Ruchen didn't know why, but he still agreed in a friendly manner.
Since then, [Inn·Ascetic·Renchen·Unnamed] has been successfully unlocked.
Back to business.
When Zheng Xiu said that the problem with Kui Lang was that he could not get close to the other party, but Chu Susu said that she had a way, Zheng Xiu looked at Chu Susu with a bit of surprise.
Chu Susu said: "The Nu family vaguely knows that Brother Zheng is as good at hiding as Kui Lang, so there is a way for Brother Zheng to get close to Kui Lang without being noticed."
Zheng Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Tell me."
Chu Susu: "Since the opponent can snipe and kill the three of us accurately from a distance, his magical skills should be able to 'see' the position of the three of us in the dense forest at night without any hindrance."
Zheng Xiu nodded in agreement: "I guessed it, and then what."
"In this case, the Nu family suggested that Brother Zheng could use the Nu family as bait. Brother Zheng would go deep into the forest, find Kui Lang, and succeed with one strike."
"Are you... a bait?" Zheng Xiu originally wanted to say that Kui Lang's real target was him and the scroll that trapped Feng Bei. When he suddenly thought about it, Zheng Xiu suddenly realized: "Do you want to 'become' me?"
Chu Susu nodded: "The slave family is brave enough to borrow Brother Zheng's appearance."
She emphasized the word "borrow".
I don't know why, but when she said this, her ears turned red, as if she had made some kind of determination.
"Oh? Now you're not afraid that I will know the secret of your thaumaturgy?"
Zheng Xiu looked at Chu Susu with a half-smile.
Chu Susu smiled bitterly: "If you can make Brother Zheng believe in the Nu family and believe that Quanquanlou has no ill intentions towards Brother Zheng and the stranger Feng Bei, then what's the harm in the Nu family making this small sacrifice. The Nu family once said that the art of amputating hands and stealing has The difference between 'stealing openly' and 'stealing secretly' is just that this superficial stealing technique can only steal tangible things, so it cannot catch the eye of Brother Zheng. The real stealing technique of the slave family is actually divided into 'quick stealing' and 'stealing in secret'. Slow steal',"
"interesting."
Although Zheng Xiu knew that this was not the time for gossip, Chu Susu actually told the truth about her magical secrets, which made Zheng Xiu couldn't help but listen carefully because it was so interesting.
"After Ding Susu died, in order to replace Ding Susu, the slave family once stayed alone with her body in a room. They peeked at her face, caressed her skin, stroked her hair, and smelled her body. They stayed together for three days and three nights, and then they succeeded in stealing. For 'Slow Stealing'."
Zheng Xiu frowned when he heard this: "Three days and three nights are too long, what about another quick steal?"
Chu Susu smiled and said: "Quick stealing is a trick. The slave family has never wanted to use it, but now I have no choice but to offend. The slave family needs to borrow something from Brother Zheng."
"What object?"
"Brother Zheng, please close your eyes. Please believe that I will never harm you."
Zheng Xiu hesitated for a moment and closed his eyes.
Chu Susu pressed forward and pressed her lips together.
Zheng Xiu was not the first brother. Zheng Xiu noticed it when she first posted it, but Zheng Xiu still obeyed.
A terrible slurping force came from Chu Susu's mouth, and she suddenly took a bite on the sucked tongue.
Ruchen was stunned on the side.
Sure enough, something happened!
The monk finally gave in and secretly thought that this was a handsome and powerful pine stuck in a flower pot. It was a pity.
I don’t know whether the monk’s regret is the pine tree or the flower pot.
After taking a bite from the macho man, Chu Susu was wondering why what she bit into her mouth didn't smell like blood. After blinking, a strange feeling of heat came over her. The pores all over her body suddenly relaxed, and a faint black mist overflowed.
at the same time.
"Are you hiding?"
A man with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, carrying a long steel bow on his back, was lying on the tree like a cheetah, breathing long and motionless.
On such a winter night, the dark man's upper body was only wearing a sleeveless animal skin jacket, and his two thick arms were exposed. With his long breathing, visible steam evaporated from his body from time to time, and his dark skin was hot. Black as a soldering iron with a faint red light.
Kui Lang's blood is so strong that he is not afraid of the cold at all.
"However, only such a prey deserves to die under the bow skills passed down by Xie."
"Wolf Eyes."
The man curled his two fingers and pressed them on his eye sockets. In his field of vision, a thousand steps away, there were two figures clearly visible in his "field of vision".
"Two people?"
Kui Lang was startled for a moment, and then he looked carefully and found that there were only two men hiding now, and the slutty woman was missing.
"Dead? Or escaped?"
Kui Lang frowned, but it didn't take long for him to relax.
His only prey from the beginning was the macho man.
Whether the others died or escaped was none of his business.
A good hunter will only keep an eye on his real prey and never stop it.
"Whether he's dead or escaping, I've fired eleven arrows."
Kui Lang smiled coldly, bent his bow and placed the last arrow on the bowstring.
The quiver on his back was empty after taking away the last arrow.
He has only twelve arrows.
What's on the bowstring now is the last arrow!
call out!
As soon as the bowstring flicked, a ripple invisible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with him as the center.
"This place will become a hunting ground for lone wolves!"
