Chapter 076
The night gradually became deeper, the entire Tiemu City became quiet, and all the lights were almost gone. Bangbangbang, the third update of the Bangzi had just knocked, and the door of Meng Xiang's room opened silently, a figure flashed out, then flew backwards from the eaves of the corridor to the roof, ran quickly along the roof, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the place where the animals were temporarily raised in the backyard.
The figure looked around, jumped down from the roof, unable to get out of the dust, without making any sound, and then flashed into a pile of forage. After a rustling sound, the entire backyard was silent except for the occasional sound from the animals.
After about a quarter of an hour, a rustling sound of raindrops falling on the leaves suddenly sounded from the cattle shed. After a while, a black shadow fell from the sky and landed on the ground, making a slight sound.
Later, the black shadow looked around and found that no one was alarmed, and then he flashed into the cattle shed. After about a cup of tea, he came out. After a low chuckle, he flew over the room, hugged, and left at an extremely fast speed on the roof.
After a while, the black shadow hiding in the pile of forage came out and flew over to the room, looked around, and then chased the black shadow that left. Its posture was light and fast, like a bat gliding at night, without making a sound.
The black shadow in front seemed very alert and would suddenly turn back from time to time, but the black shadow tracking behind was obviously better. Every time he could make concealing moves before the black shadow in front turned back.
The two black shadows ran very fast, and they walked far away in a short time. Soon, the black shadow in front came to the huge iron tree in the center of Tiemu City. They looked around and walked quickly to the door of the city lord's mansion. They knocked on the door rhythmically and gently, and then a thin crack opened in the door. The black shadow flashed in and disappeared.
The black shadow following behind stood in the shadow of a roof, looking at the gate of the city lord's mansion, bright light shot out from his eyes, and the night could not cover its light, cold and ruthless, like the reflection on the blade.
After about ten breaths, the black shadow turned around and returned to the shed where the temporarily raised animals on Hongbin Building was followed by the black shadow before and got in. After a while, he came out, then returned to his room and closed the door gently.
The next day, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi got up very early. As soon as the sky was dawn, they sat together for breakfast. Soon, they settled the tent and walked towards the west gate of Tiemu City with four double-peaked flying camels.
When they arrived at the West Gate, the sun had risen and sprinkled light and heat on the earth without hesitation. It seemed that they had pinched the time, and as soon as they arrived, the city gate opened.
This time, it was not Huang Shulang and his men who were responsible for guarding the city gate, but when they saw Meng Xiang and Yan Shi clearly, a hint of fear appeared in their eyes. The hunters waiting to go out spoke much less after seeing them.
These hunters all understand the rules of survival. Meng Xiang was able to be safe and sound after killing the city guard at the West Gate, which shows the problem. No matter what the reason was, the city lord Qi Changzheng did not find their troubles, and they instinctively felt that it would be better not to provoke them.
Meng Xiang and Yan Shi were not concerned about the reactions of the others. As soon as the door opened, they led four double-peaked flying camels away. After walking about two or three miles, Meng Xiang stopped, looked around, and rushed to a undulating mountain in the distance along a small path.
They and the shadow of the flying camel on the twin peaks had just disappeared into the undulating mountains. A group of people came out from the west gate of Tiemu City, about twenty people. Under the guidance of a black, about three-foot-long rat, they chased Meng Xiang in the direction where he disappeared.
It was noon soon, and Meng Xiang and Yan Shi also stopped to rest, put the four-headed flying camel aside to eat grass, and they set up a grill and roasted a big deer. If other hunters saw the deer they roasted, they would have called it a waste of their fortune.
It is a very rare deer called a blood deer. Not only can deer blood replenish qi, but venison also has the same effect. It is very beneficial to the body after eating it, especially for people who are refining their bodies. They can provide them with a lot of qi and blood. Therefore, the sales of blood deer in Tiemu City have always been very good. As big as they are now, they can sell at least 200 taels of silver. It is not easy for most hunters to earn 200 taels of silver.
These years have passed, and the skills of stern barbecue have become more and more advanced. In a short while, the blood deer emits a strong fragrance. Even if the wind is not small, it still cannot be blown away. It seems that they have solidified.
Next, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi were not polite at all. They swallowed the blood deer that could be sold for at least 200 taels of silver soon left with only a pile of bones.
Meng Xiang leaned against the trunk of a big tree, and while picking his teeth comfortably, he asked in a vague manner: "Stone, you are born to like to eat, but there is one thing you must have never eaten."
"What?" Yan Shi seriously gnawed the broken flesh on a big stick, without looking up.
"Rat, a three-foot-long big rat."
"I've eaten rats, and the meat is pretty good, but I've never eaten a three-foot-long big rat."
"Do you want to taste it?"
"Brother Meng, can you catch it?" Yan Shijian threw a big stick that had been gnawed and put it aside. He raised his head and looked at Meng Xiang, and there was a light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course." Meng Xiang nodded, but he immediately asked a very abrupt question, "Shitou, what do you think of the Feng Shui of the land where we are? Is it suitable for burying people?"
Yan Shi tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Brother Meng, I don't understand Feng Shui. But I think it's enough to bury people, just have a place."
He paused, looked at the surrounding trees and bushes, and then said, "It does look a bit desolate here, and it seems that it is really not suitable for burying people. But for some beasts with their heads and tails, I personally think it is enough."
"Stone, since you also think that the beasts with their heads and tails are annoying, just clean them up. Just treat it as a food after cooking."
"Brother Meng, your words are about to come to my heart. I'm just about to do this." Yan Shi said, pressing his hand to the ground. But just as his arms were stretched out and he was about to stand up with his waist, an accident happened.
Hissing... More than a dozen sharp cold lights shot out from the big trees and bushes around Meng Xiang and Yan Shi, and most of them shot towards Yan Shi's vital points, while the other part aimed at Meng Xiang leaning on the big tree.
Yan Shi seemed to have known that someone was going to attack him for a long time. He loosened his arms and fell back to the ground, while the eight or nine sharp arrows flew over to his nose, puffing... deeply into the ground, leaving only a short tail of the arrow.
Against the long arrows that were shot, Meng Xiang took a completely different approach. He just stretched out his right hand and grabbed them. Six long arrows with cold light flashing arrows were caught in his hand. Then he shook his wrist and the six sharp arrows reflected back at a speed several times faster than when they shot. With a flash, they disappeared into the big tree thirty or forty feet away.
Crack and crack... With a crisp sound of the broken branches, several masked black-clad men fell to the ground in an abnormal position from a few long-tailed pine trees. Each of them had a long arrow inserted into their throats, and they were all very deep, leaving only a short piece of arrow shaft exposed outside.
Yan Shi patted the dust on his butt and was about to stand up again. Meng Xiang also put his hand on the trunk of the tree and made a move to get up, but it seemed that the only one didn't want them to get up.
Wow, swow,... another sharp arrow shot over, but this time the sharp arrow was different from the last time, and it shone with various brilliances, and it was extremely fast. It flashed into the two of them.
The next moment, the long arrow passed through Meng Xiang and Yan Shi's location, but they all shot empty because they had already left the place.
After avoiding another sneak attack from the enemy, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi immediately launched a counterattack. Meng Xiang raised his foot and kicked hard on the pile of deer bones he had left. With the sound of whizzing through the air, all the deer bones of different lengths shot out and shot towards the direction where the long arrows were shot.
Yan Shizhe's fingers of both hands bounced, and when he got up, he shot out the stones grabbed from the ground, just like bullets shot from a gun, with extremely fast speed and amazing force. During the flight, he made a sound of tearing the air.
Amid the screams and the sound of the branches breaking, more than a dozen black shadows jumped off the tree one after another. Some seemed calm, while the other was not so lucky. They were either shot by deer bones or hit by stones, either dead or injured.
Meng Xiang and Yan Shi looked at each other and said sarcastically: "Rats are rats! They are covered with fig leafs in broad daylight, so they dare not see anyone."
While speaking, the seven or eight masked men in black who were mildly injured or not injured did something unexpected to the two: not only did they not run away, but on the contrary, they all pulled out their weapons and rushed towards them, as if they wanted to fight to the death with them.
Meng Xiang gave Yan Shi a wink, standing there without moving, while Yan Shi pulled out the long knife around his waist, and slowly greeted the masked men in black who seemed a little abnormal.
When those masked men in black were about two or three feet away from Yan Shi, their weapons in their hands emitted various rays of light. Obviously, they were all good at cultivating true qi. Yan Shiyi was not afraid. Not only did she not pause at all, but her eyes also cast a strong fighting spirit.
In an instant, Yan Shi and the men in black interspersed by. Yan Shi looked as usual, while the men in black all had unstable steps and staggered. In just two or three seconds, they all fell down and died.
Yan Shi held his knife and looked at Meng Xiang. Meng Xian nodded in praise, affirming his performance this time. At this moment, the masked men in black who were killed by Yan Shi suddenly had an abnormality.
Bang bang... In a series of rapid muffled sounds, all the masked men in black exploded, and thick black smoke surged from their bodies. The black smoke was extremely fast, covering an area of twenty or thirty feet in a flash.
