After breakfast, Li Ce led dozens of government officials to set off first and continue to clear the road ahead. Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao followed closely behind, slowly moving forward into the deep mountains to the west.
It was unusually quiet in the mountains today. Apart from the rustling of dead branches under my feet, I could barely hear even the chirping of birds.
Seeing that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more familiar, Chu Nanzhi gradually slowed down and shouted to Hu Maoxi who was walking in front: "Master Hu, let everyone stop for a moment."
Hearing the sound, Hu Maoxi signaled everyone to stop, turned around and stared at Chu Nanzhi, and said with a confused look: "Ms. Chu, what's going on? It's important to be on your way, don't make it to Luyan Port until dark."
"Don't worry, everyone."
Chu Nanzhi looked at everyone calmly, but her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot.
Lin Jinxiao seemed to have noticed something strange around him, so he asked someone to put the stretcher down, and calmly waved to everyone: "Everyone spread out and take cover."
Hu Maoxi turned back with a stiff face. He didn't know what was going on with the couple. One was more nervous than the other, and he said impatiently: "Brother Lin Xian, Li Sanlang has led people a long way ahead. We can't fall behind."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jinxiao carefully watched his surroundings while pulling Hu Maoxi to the bushes to hide, and then waved to Chu Nanzhi and his daughter.
Chu Nanzhi walked over with Sibao and Liu Shuyang, and they all squatted behind the jungle.
When the others saw this, they all looked for places to hide with bewildered expressions on their faces.
Hu Maoxi was about to get up carelessly, when he suddenly heard a roaring sound from around him, which scared him so much that he trembled and fell down.
Everyone looked for the sound and saw a sika deer jumping out of the jungle in the distance. The deer was covered in blood and was running forward in panic.
Immediately afterwards, two large black bears with dark fur also rushed out, grinning and roaring. One of the black bears jumped up suddenly, jumped directly on the head of the sika deer, stepped down with both feet, and bit the sika deer's neck with its sharp teeth.
On the bed, blood was pouring out.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Hu Maoxi felt flustered, pinched his forehead tremblingly, lowered his voice and was about to sigh, but was stopped by Chu Nanzhi.
Chu Nanzhi made a slight "shush" gesture towards everyone, indicating that everyone should hold their breath.
Seeing that two black bears were about to eat the sika deer, Hu Maoxi felt it was a pity and winked at the officers holding bows and arrows. When they were about to move the long bows in their hands, Lin Jinxiao gave him a cold look and everyone put down their long bows angrily.
Come down.
Hu Maoxi looked at him confused, and suddenly heard a "buzzing" roar in his ears again, deafening.
Hu Maoxi looked along where the sound came from, and was immediately frightened.
I saw the leaves swaying for a while in the place where the black bear came out. A giant tiger nearly three meters long and weighing five or six hundred kilograms was looking at the two black bears eagerly. The heavy trampling sound of the ground shaking, as if
The entire mountain range is crumbling.
Chu Nanzhi immediately covered Si Bao's mouth and held her tightly in his arms.
The guards and laborers hiding behind the trees opened their eyes wide, covered their mouths and noses, and held their breath, watching everything that happened not far away.
The tiger roared and fought fiercely with two ferocious black bears. The dead leaves piled on the ground were constantly rolled up. The roaring and tearing sounds swept through the forest. Not long after, the tiger was seen leaping with a torn black bear skin in its mouth.
He stood up, then stomped heavily on the ground, standing there with huge pupils and roaring.
The roar resounded throughout the mountains, followed by the howls of wolves, and the rustling sounds of stampedes swarming in from everywhere.
Hu Maoxi couldn't help but secretly lament: Did he fall into the den of tigers and wolves today?
Gathering my mind and looking out into the distance, I saw a pack of wolves looking around in the high valley opposite, shaking their bodies and running towards them like crazy.
The turbulent scene of a group of wolves fighting tigers in the forest immediately came into view.
Witnessing his dream again, Chu Nanzhi was doubly surprised. He looked at Lin Jinxiao face to face, but saw that his expression was indifferent, turning a blind eye to the sound of tigers and wolves fighting in the distance, and his eyes were lightly looking at the bushes that were wandering erratically above his head.
middle.
Seeing the tiger being torn apart piece by piece by the grinning jackal, Chu Nanzhi looked around and inadvertently saw a large teardrop rolling out of the tiger's eyes. The moment he fell, his eyes were blurred and he looked closely at the bulge in the distance.
slope.
A group of jackals threw the tiger to the ground, biting fiercely for a while, but their eyes suddenly turned to the lush forest behind them.
Before everyone could react, Chu Nanzhi quickly snatched the long bow and quiver from a government servant beside him, inserted the quiver into his back, took out a stray arrow and pointed the bow at one of the plump ones.
The jackal shot it.
The precise arrow was inserted directly into the belly of the jackal, leaving everyone stunned.
Lin Jinxiao was attracted by this sudden scene. Seeing her calmly getting up, she took out the arrow from her back and shot it at the rushing pack of jackals. With one hit, a jackal was shot to the ground again and bounced far away.
distance.
Even the archers in the army could not match her skill in archery. Lin Jinxiao grabbed Si Bao and looked at her calm and composed expression, and wondered again: Who is this woman?
It's really unfathomable.
While hesitating, everyone fired their bows and arrows at the charging jackal.
It's just that these government officials are not good at riding and shooting. Even though they are all powerful, nine out of ten stray arrows released in panic were either buried in the ground or inserted into the bushes. Instead, they were struck by Chu Nan Zhi's arrows.
If it hits the target, it can kill the scurrying jackal.
Lin Jinxiao's face was intoxicated when he saw that sassy and heroic appearance. She was no longer like the delicate and weak woman in her mind who only knew how to play and roll around.
Fortunately, yesterday I was still thinking about how I could protect her if she encountered danger.
What a scheming woman, it was so hard to hide it from herself.
In just a moment, seven or eight jackals were shot to the ground by Chu Nanzhi. Seeing this, the government officials had no choice but to draw their sabers and fight towards the charging jackals.
For a moment, the forest was filled with flashes of swords and shadows.
After Chu Nanzhi finished using the arrows on his back, he snatched the quiver from another yamen servant who was still aiming at the jackals, quickly inserted it into his back, and continued to take out the arrows. He quickly reacted in his mind and used the quiver as usual.
The habit of using a gun is to calculate the running speed of the jackal while predicting the location of the jackal's movement, and then shoot out an arrow and hit the target immediately.
Hu Maoxi looked at Lin Jinxiao who was entranced, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ms. Chu, this is really an eye-opener. Brother Lin Xian, you are really good at training people. When did you teach your lady this skillful bow?"
Law?"
Lin Jinxiao smiled slightly with a bitter look on his face.
If he had known that this woman was so powerful, he would not have easily agreed to the letter and Li Shu the night before.
But then I thought about her current temperament. If I forced myself to do it, she would not be happy. It would be better to give her the freedom and freedom she wants.
Seeing that all the jackals everywhere had been shot and killed, and the rest had begun to flee in all directions, Lin Jinxiao slowly took the long bow from a government servant who was guarding him, and whispered to Liu Shuyang and Hu Maoxi: "Master Hu, Shu Yang, you guys
Take good care of the four treasures for me."
When Hu Maoxi saw him pulling the bow to full strength, he didn't know what he wanted to do.
Looking into the distance, the jackal was escaping, and there was no need for him to take action. Hu Maoxi frowned and was about to persuade, but saw Lin Jinxiao's forward long bow immediately change its direction and shoot straight up into the dense leaves above his head without hesitation.
Then a black shadow fell from the sky and hit the dead leaves.
"Protect Mr. Hu."
In a blink of an eye, Lin Jinxiao took out the stray arrows from the quiver and shot them into the dense leaves above his head with quick eyes and hands. In the blink of an eye, four or five men in black fell down.
