After saying goodbye that day, only Shen Chong was left to protect Fengyang on the way back. There were not many arrows left at the moment, and considering Fengyang's identity and cultivation, the return speed was not fast. This was also due to the fact that Fengyang was not a A pampered and domineering princess, she was almost thirty years old. In this era, if she were placed in an ordinary person's home, she would already be the mother of several children.
Her own knowledge and vision also allow her to assess situations and have true wisdom.
In the final analysis, this woman is not a flower vase. In addition to her noble status, she also has abilities far beyond ordinary people. However, she has always been poor in martial arts. Talent is the main reason, and the secondary reason is that she is subjectively unwilling to spend time. Work hard to practice.
"When we came here, why didn't we feel that the road was so long? How long will it take for us to return to the capital of the gods?" When I was escaping, I didn't have time to think about things. After a brief encounter with Cao An, I set off on the return journey again, with my sense of crisis reduced sharply. Fengyang, the tight string in her heart also relaxed.
All the hardships came to the door on their own. I felt sore all over my body, and my feet felt like lead. It was a little difficult to take steps. I gritted my teeth and endured all these. I barely managed to hold on until I rested. Then I collapsed directly on the ground. I couldn't stand it anymore. Unwilling to move.
"Now that the knife is on my neck, I won't leave. Commander Shen, please rest for now."
He nodded heavily and said nothing. The two of them walked together and did not dare to light a fire, so it was important to ensure that the resting point was dry. He moved a few stones over and raised the resting point higher.
Fengyang could rest, but he couldn't. He absorbed the majestic vitality in the blood river and repaired all the hidden injuries caused by his previous practice of Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. His condition was even better than before, but he didn't feel tired at all.
Before he finished his work, Fengyang over there had already fallen asleep, breathing evenly through his nose.
Sitting cross-legged, pouring one's own perception into the surroundings, the six-foot range is already the limit, and there is no way to move forward one more inch. The heavy practice is only the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, and the six senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind have no unique enhancement or excellence. , unlike Cao An, but still stronger than martial artists of the same level.
I didn't dare to slack off at all. I don't know whether it was because it was late at night or something else. In the first half of the night, I never encountered an enemy, not even a human. It seemed that there were not only humans, but also beasts. I realized it later. Shen Zhan was shocked into a cold sweat and was horrified.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Wake up quickly."
Fengyang didn't sleep deeply. When she heard the heavy cry, she opened her eyes almost instantly. It was about life and death. No matter how tired she was, she didn't dare to sleep to death.
"What happened? Did the enemy catch up?"
"This situation may be worse than the enemy catching up." Zhan Zhan looked ugly and held the sword at his waist in his hand. His giant ax had been destroyed. This sword was still separated from Cao An and others. , the Jiangwutang standard sword picked up from the ground is also a good knife. These elite swords of the Jiangwutang are all made of hundreds of steel.
Hearing what he said was so serious, Fengyang didn't dare to be lazy and forcefully cheered up. The sleepiness in his mind disappeared instantly, his heart beat faster, and he followed closely behind Shen Chong.
"I suspect that our whereabouts have been exposed, but this group of people is smart and is not sure of eating us. They did not choose to alert the snake. It is estimated that someone left to inform other teams. We may be surrounded. This is also my fault. There has been nothing unusual for nearly two hours, and I haven’t noticed this yet.”
Shen Shen was a little annoyed. There is a saying that when something goes wrong, there must be a monster, but he failed to wake up in time.
Fengyang shook his head, "It's not your fault. There is nothing to blame for judging safety without discovering anything."
The two of them cautiously walked forward less than a hundred steps when a sharp sound broke through the air. At the same time, Zhong Sheng felt that the pinprick of crisis had almost reached its peak, and his expression changed drastically.
He stood in front of Princess Fengyang and said, "Be careful, it's a crossbow!"
The cloak on his body was torn off by him, and the majestic Qi was poured into it. With a flick of his hand, the cloak became a large shield that was difficult to penetrate. It also had the toughness of clothes, which could have penetrated the stone. The arrow that penetrated the wall fell directly into the heavy quiver after its strength was removed.
Fengyang's eyes fell on the arrow, and she knew the mark on it all too clearly.
"These bastards, they actually brought the heavy crossbow from the arrow tower."
Needless to say, Fengyang could also feel the heaviness. He was very familiar with this heavy arrow tower crossbow, which was used to defend against the tide of beasts. He was an arrow slave before. It was different from the crudely made heavy crossbows in Qianye Town. The heavy crossbows used in the divine capital to defend against the beast tide are more powerful than the heavy crossbows in the military camps.
It can easily tear apart the warrior's protective Gang Qi. The arrows are made of fine steel. This is the first round of shooting. He has consumed so much of his own Qi. With his current strength, he cannot last long. When the time comes, there will be no need for others to take action. He has no power to resist.
Another advantage of using the Arrow Tower Heavy Crossbow is that it is highly concealed and cannot be easily discovered by the emperor. There has not been a beast tide in the capital city for many years, and it will be nearly a hundred years before the next beast tide. It's all like this, you rarely think of it unless you need it.
These heavy crossbows are not included in the armaments and can only be used with the consent of the City Guards. The City Guards are an army in the divine capital but are not actually under the control of the emperor.
"At least twelve heavy crossbows!"
"Hurry up and use the puppet your brother Cao gave you!" Fengyang made a quick decision.
"But we still don't know who the masters are among the enemies. They are hiding us but exposing us..." After the first round of arrows were shot, the forest fell into silence again under the dark night. There was no sound at all. Judging from the strength of the arrows, It seemed that these guys were at least five hundred steps away, far beyond the range of heavy perception.
"You're almost out of life, what are you doing with your cards? Do you really have to wait until your own energy is exhausted before using this puppet? What's the use? Do you expect a sluggish puppet to leave the battlefield and return with it? The capital of the gods?" Fengyang shouted sharply. The two of them only had one trump card. In this case, there was no need to hide it.
The most correct way at the moment is to use the most powerful means to break through the restrictions of the Arrow Tower Heavy Crossbow and resolve this crisis first, so that other things can have opportunities and possibilities.
"Hongba!"
At the same time, the second round of arrows came, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, forming a converging fan shape, and all of them converged towards the location of the two people. In this case, it was obvious that the other party had already known the two people after the first round of shooting. Although it is a fan-shaped general location, the range of convergence points is still very large.
The speed is so fast that there is no possibility of avoiding it.
The purple mist in front of him dissipated, and a figure that was more burly than heavy appeared in front of him.
Shen Shen was about to repeat his old tricks when he heard a loud shout coming from the front.
"Three points of return to vitality!!"
boom! !
All the arrows exploded in the air. After losing their power, the broken arrows were scattered in all directions.
"Boy, give me the arrows on your body and keep an eye on them!"
Xiongba shook his cloak, and the arrows wrapped in it were shaken out. The whistling sound of the arrow was actually more terrifying than being shot from a heavy crossbow. He was instantly submerged in the darkness, and screams immediately sounded in front of him. Xiongba The figure followed closely behind, carrying an arrogant and domineering look, like a tiger descending the mountain.
"Follow that woman with you."
Fengyang was still a little unable to turn around for a while, "Is this still a puppet? Why is he..."
"Brother Cao is a strange man, one of the strangest people in the world. There are strange things around this strange man. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I can't figure it out either. I've seen it before, but it's not very similar to today's scene." Shen Shen couldn't figure it out. He hadn't seen anything around Cao An for a long time.
The ones in my memory are obviously a bit 'outdated'.
"Urgent!!"
Finger shadows all over the sky fell into the darkness, and accompanied by screams, Xiong Ba moved forward with his hands behind his back, confident that there was no living thing inside.
He threw out a burst of fire and ignited the heavy crossbow from the Shendu Arrow Tower. In the firelight, several people saw corpses scattered all over the place. Some were directly penetrated by arrows and carried into the soil, while others were buried in the ground. Xiongba's three-point divine finger directly smashed the vital part, and he died tragically on the spot. At this scene, Fengyang couldn't help but bend down and vomited.
Even Shen Shen, who was used to killing, turned pale.
"Oh, you can't bear this scene? Did you know that your Brother Cao has much higher expectations for you than this gang leader? Your strength can be cultivated slowly, but your mind is weak, and no matter how high your cultivation level is, it will be useless."
With such a strong sense of autonomy and wisdom, Zhong Sheng did not dare to treat him as an ordinary puppet. He bowed and saluted, as if facing a senior martial artist, "What are you..."
"On the order of the young master, I will keep you safe for the time being and send you back to the capital of gods. Before the power of this puppet body is exhausted, my gang leader will always protect you. There are still some small fish over there. Do you need my gang leader's help?" Xiongba faced the heavy weight and said loudly, with a stern tone, not taking those martial arts masters without heavy crossbows into his eyes at all.
"No effort..."
"Of course I want it, please help the leader to deal with these miscellaneous things." Before he finished speaking the heavy words, Fengyang had already adjusted his state, straightened up and said.
Xiong Ba looked at Shen Sheng. Now the master of this puppet was Shen Shen, not Fengyang.
"Then it will be as His Highness said."
The afterimage pierced the sky, and for a while, screams could be heard throughout the dense forest.
Fengyang looked at the direction in which the afterimage was going away, "I can see the shadow of my eldest brother in him. He has a kingly aura. It's a pity that if my eldest brother had half of this domineering power, he wouldn't be a constraint everywhere in the court." , I am under the control of others, I am really becoming more and more curious about your Brother Cao."
"Heavy, does Cao An have a woman he likes?"
"ah?"
"Don't you understand?"
"I understand, but I was a little surprised for a moment. I have been separated from Brother Cao for a long time, and I may not know as much about his current situation as you, Your Highness, but before we parted, he had no so-called favorite person. There was indeed a woman in Qianye Town who was his childhood sweetheart, but later the two seemed to break up due to some unhappiness. Then there was a beast wave, so we left Qianye Town and followed Brother Cao’s travel route. There is no contact with that woman anymore.”
"Is that so? Does she look good?"
"It looks good." In fact, Zhong Shen's impression of Li Yuxiu was a little vague. He only knew this person, but when the name appeared, he couldn't clearly present a face in his mind.
"Country girl, I don't expect to have much knowledge. Cao An's current knowledge and vision are not enough, but human emotions are the most elusive..." Fengyang lowered his head and muttered, and took two steps away unconsciously. Listen carefully.
