The reason why Pinus tabulaeformis is called "Pineum tabulaeformis" is because it secretes a special oil called "pine resin". When Jiang Shuo just leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, he felt sticky resin on his back. He remembered that he was using Qixing. When the sword slashed, it had cut through the bark of the tree, leaving pine resin behind.
Pinus tabulaeformis is not unique to the black forests of Northeast China. Jiang Shuo immediately remembered that he had seen people cutting trees to get the resin in the south. Pine resin is very easy to burn. Jiang Shuo had seen pine taken and smeared on a torch. The illumination was bright and the burning time was long. Longer than ordinary firewood torches. At this moment, he saw that he could not hold down the Crow Man for a while, and the firewood in his hand had burned out. In desperation, he remembered that rosin is flammable, and immediately used the firewood as a bow and arrow to shoot at the main trunk of the pine tree.
Jiang Shuo's strength was extraordinary. When he fired with all his strength, the blunt-end wood actually pierced the thick outer bark of the ancient tree and nailed it into the trunk. The flames on the wood immediately shot up the trunk. It was summer now, and the pine desert was dry and sparse. So, it has not rained for more than ten days. The trees are already dry, and there is rosin stored under the bark of the pine trees. As soon as it catches, there is only a "bang" sound, and the flames fly into the air. The reddish-brown cracked trees of the ancient trees Flames burst out from the skin and burned quickly, as if a bonfire had been lit in the air, illuminating the arakkoa on the branches.
The fire was so strong that the arakkoa could not put it out. For a moment, they stood stunned in the tree and didn't know what to do. Jiang Shuo took a closer look at this person. His face and whole body were covered tightly. The most striking feature was his short stature. Jiang Shuo was close to an adult in height at this moment, but this person was shorter than Jiang Shuo. He wore a The crow's head mask was dark and glowing with cold light, and seemed to be made of black iron. If it were really made of iron, this mask would be as heavy as a pair of iron helmets. The "feather coat" he is wearing is not entirely black, but is similar to a hundred-year-old coat. It is made up of various strips of cloth. To be precise, it seems to be one rag coat with another rag coat on top. Ten pieces of tattered shirts were sewn together in layers. Not only were they as thick as bird feathers, but they also made the whole person fatter and looked extremely bloated. No wonder Jiang Shuo couldn't stab his body with his sword just now.
Jiang Shuo knew that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and thrust forward with his sword. Seeing his stab, the Yaman came to his senses and avoided the tree. At this moment, the fire on the tree trunk became stronger. Under the scorching flames, the bark of the tree was The sound of "crackling" is made, and the brilliance becomes stronger. The arakkoa obviously wanted to hide far away and did not want to fight in the open.
However, Jiang Shuo could not allow him to escape easily. He jumped up, spread his wings like an eagle in the air, circled around the tree trunk, and blocked the Crow Man's retreat.
Previously, in the dim darkness, Jiang Shuo only felt that Yao's movement was like a ghost. Now in the torchlight, his movement was no longer so magical. Jiang Shuo blocked it with his head and stabbed straight with his sword. The crow-man faced the door. The crow-man lowered his head to avoid the incoming sword, but then he took out his right hand from the various rags on his body and grabbed Jiang Shuo's lower abdomen. The two of them were still far apart, and Yao was short, so it was difficult for him to touch Jiang Shuo's body, but he had stainless steel claws on both hands, which added another three inches to his length, so this grip could stab Jiang Shuo. There are two points on the abdomen: epigastrium and middle epigastrium.
Jiang Shuo took a quick breath, his belly sunk two inches inward, and avoided the grasp. However, he lowered his wrist slightly and still stabbed Yaren's head and face.
The Crow Man raised his claws to grab the seven-star sword. At this moment, the entire upper half of the ancient tree, which was more than ten feet high, was burning like a huge torch. As far as Jiang Shuo could see, he could clearly see the figure of the Crow Man. , he didn't wait for the crow's claws to lock the weapon, and trembled the long sword first. The tip of the sword was divided into five parts, and he stabbed the five fingers of the crow man's right claw.
When the Shenshu Sword has been trained to the highest level, one sword can be transformed into seven swords, which is called "Seven Lights with the Same Glory". Jiang Shuo has not yet reached this level, and can only transform one into five. This move has a vivid name called "Five Points of Plum Blossoms" , at this moment, Jiang Shuo's long sword trembled slightly, and a silver five-petal plum blossom appeared on the tip of the sword. He shot quickly and recognized the acupoints more accurately, avoiding five hook-like sharp blades and piercing his thumb. There are five points: "Shaoshang point", "Shangyang point" on the index finger, "Zhongchong point" on the tip of the middle finger, "Guanchong point" on the ring finger and "Shaoze point" on the tail finger.
The crow man quickly retracted his claws, but was still half a step slower. He only heard a silent "clanking" sound, and all the hooks on the five fingers of his right hand were cut off. Fortunately, he withdrew the move in time, but the hooks were cut off, and the fingers were not. They are still in good health. If not, one or two fingers will be removed by the Seven-Star Sword at least.
But the Crow Man had no time to rejoice. Jiang Shuo used "Five Points of Plum Blossoms" to break the Crow Man's right claw, but the long sword continued to move forward, almost hitting the iron beak mask he was wearing. The Crow Man hurriedly tilted his leg. , falling downward, firstly to avoid Jiang Shuo's stab, and secondly to avoid
It is also an opportunity to escape from the light in the tree.
Jiang Shuo didn't know what his plan was. He leaned down and hung his feet on the branches. He reached down, grabbed the thick "feather coat" on Yaren's body, pulled it up and said, "Where are we going?" !” He threw it upward again and said, “Come back!”
The Crow Man was thrown into the air. At this moment, not only the trunk of the tree, but also many horizontal branches on it were burning violently. His clothes were stained by the flames, and several places were ignited. When he fell back into the tree, his body was already burned. I brought the sparks with me,
This Yaren Kungfu is really good. He rolled on the spot in such a small position on the branch, and immediately suppressed the sparks on his body. But before he could get up, Jiang Shuo had already rolled back on the branch, and stabbed the Yaren directly with his long sword. Mask, the crow man was lying on the ground at this moment, unable to hide or evade. He only watched Jiang Shuo's seven-star sword stabbing at him. When he was about to pierce the mask, he suddenly shook his head, and the black crow's beak said: "Hit the side of the long sword with a sound. This mask was indeed a weapon. Judging from its shape, it was somewhat similar to the pecking hammer of Luoluohe. The steel beak seemed to be extremely sensitive, and it hit the sword, causing the Seven-Star Sword to tilt aside.
Jiang Shuo took advantage of the situation and jumped into the air, did a somersault in the air, flew forward and swung, slashing at the Crow Man's beak. He saw the seven-star sword quickly passing through the mask, cutting it into two pieces. Even Jiang Shuo was a little surprised by this. Well, even he didn't expect that the Seven-Star Sword would chop off half of the opponent's head with one move. However, there was no blood seeping from the head of the "corpse" that was missing half of its head. It seemed that Gengben was not injured.
He was about to squat down and take a closer look when he saw the "corpse" suddenly jumped up and wanted to move away.
Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand, grabbed Yaren's ankle, pulled him back, and pulled him back. Pushing inward, Yaren's back hit the huge pitch pine pole, making a muffled sound. , the whole tree trembled, and the leaves and sparks on it fell "thrustling" one after another.
It seems that Jiang Shuo used a lot of force this time, but the Yaren did not suffer any internal injuries. It turned out that Jiang Shuo knew that in the light at this moment, the Yaren's kung fu could not be used, and it was difficult to defeat him. As a result, his killing His heart dropped immediately, and his attack was no longer a vicious killing move, but just pointing the tip of the sword at the eyebrows behind the Crow Man's mask.
The Yaren sneered and said: "Damn bald donkey, you can just kill it with your hands, but you still want to engage in such a big battle. Don't you claim that monks are compassionate? It's not easy for a forest or a tree to grow here, but you kill the whole tree. If the pine tree is lit as a torch, aren't you afraid that the fire will spread and kill you?"
Jiang Shuo was startled and thought to himself: The bald donkey is obviously referring to a monk. Now that the fire is bright, I can see the crow man clearly, and he can also see me clearly. What does he mean by saying bald donkey? Could it be that he suddenly went crazy before the battle? While he was thinking wildly, the Crow Man suddenly shouted loudly and stretched out his hand from the "Feather Clothes".
The hook claw of Yaren's right hand was cut off by Jiang Shuo earlier. Now he has a horizontal knife in his hand, but he doesn't know how this knife can be hidden in his robe, and he doesn't know how many objects can be hidden in this hundred-year-old robe. Yaren waved The knife slashed violently, but this knife made him a bit of an expert. The Crow Man's claws were strange weapons, and his moves were often unexpected, but his sword skills were straight forward, with no change in horizontal or vertical cuts. Jiang Shuo couldn't help but feel I remembered the Japanese man Jing Zhencheng I met at Xixi Villa three years ago. His swordsmanship seemed to be this way.
After only a few moves, Jiang Shuo stuck the long sword in Yaren's hand with a stick technique. Yaren held the sword with both hands and wanted to take it back, but how could his internal strength be Jiang Shuo's opponent? Jiang Shuo secretly mobilized his energy and poured his inner energy into the knife. The two weapons seemed to be connected as one and inseparable. With a breath and a pull, he effortlessly snatched the Hengdao from Yaren's hand...
The Crow Man's sword was taken away, but he did not retreat. He still moved forward to meet him. Jiang Shuo thrust out his sword and stabbed quickly. This Crow Man did not dodge, but directly hit him. The sword in Jiang Shuo's hand pierced his throat from under his mask. But there was still no blood, and Jiang Shuo knew something was wrong - no matter how small the crow man was, he couldn't be so thin anyway. He raised his hand and pulled "Hagoromo" over, only to find that although it felt tight, no one was inside. When he turned it over and looked at it, he saw that there was a gap in the back of the clothes. It turned out that the man had gotten out from behind using the trick of a golden cicada to escape from its shell. Since the mask and feather clothes were too big, the Yaren pushed the clothes forward and covered Jiang's body. From Shuo's sight, he himself escaped from the hidden seam at the back of his clothes.
Jiang Shuo threw Yuyi and Hengdao down the tree and saw a thin old man jumping towards another tree. The old man looked to be in his sixties.
Although he was older, he was shorter than ordinary teenagers, only about five feet tall. If the fire hadn't been bright at this moment, Jiang Shuo would have thought that the old man was an ape turned into a spirit. Come to think of it, the steel claws and the mask are not really worn on the hands or head, but are connected with a special machine. The old man hides behind the Baina cloth, but controls the mask and claws. No wonder the mask and gloves are cut off in half. Even after cutting off a section, the old man was not injured.
Looking up at the tree again, I saw that most of the tree had been ignited, and even the flames jumped to the tree next door. Although it looked like daylight and became brighter, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was already burning and suffocating. , and burning branches fell, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but worry about not hitting the two people lying under the tree. Jiang Shuo also knew that the matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, and he could not just watch this ancient pine forest that was hundreds of years old destroyed. Fire.
He jumped forward, his long sword danced into a web of light, and he chased the old man to form a web of light. However, the old man was not interested in fighting, and just jumped forward to escape. When Jiang Shuo fought with others, others were always taller than him. Only This time he fought with this little old man, but the other man was much shorter than him, and his body was much smaller. He took off his bulky and heavy clothes, and moved faster and more dexterously, swinging between the branches. , and he was about to escape into the dark pine forest again.
Just at this moment, I saw a bolt of lightning coming in front of me, with a golden ball tied at the end making a ringing sound, and it hit the old man on the back. The old man fell down the tree with a muffled groan.
