According to the map, Yue Yu led Ran Li to the east for about three miles. Then, as expected, they found ten large foxholes under a small hill mentioned by the old hunter.
This was originally a place where the hunters and medicine men in the city spent the night. Covering it with a layer of wooden boards at night would allow them to spend the night safely in the wild. According to the 120-year-old old hunter, these places
It was still in use about a hundred years ago. It was not until the Yue family expelled and killed the powerful monsters nearby that it gradually became unknown.
Next, Yue Yu started to clear away the traces of the two people along the way as quickly as possible. In addition to the old suspicion formation, there was also the smell of the two people.
Yue Yu discovered very early that as the inner energy increases, the five senses of people in this world will be improved to a certain extent. There are even some techniques that can make certain human senses not inferior to those of monsters. And Yue Yu
The method chosen is the simplest and most violent one.
Before coming, he brought several bottles of potion that had an extremely pungent smell and evaporated very quickly. Spraying it everywhere was enough to cover everything up. No matter how sensitive your sense of smell is, it will lose its effectiveness here.
When everything was ready, the two of them carefully returned to the pit, and then covered it with a large number of fallen leaves.
Fortunately, it was late autumn, and the fallen leaves in this dense forest were several feet thick. The two of them didn't need to do anything else to cover up, and they were able to make it look seamless.
Not more than a minute later, he heard a few slight footsteps. Ran Li didn't even dare to take a breath at this time. He was both novel and excited about what Yue Yu had just done. But this
At this time, of course, his own life is the most important thing. But Yue Yu didn't care so much. He had previously arranged a few pieces of bronze mirror fragments above the small pit. At this time, using the principle of light refraction, he could see it even without having to look up.
Some of the situations above.
There were indeed four people coming, and one of them was an intermediate martial artist with four silver lines on his sleeves. This was what Yue Yu expected. The only thing that made him a little surprised was that among the four, only one did not wear the Yue family.
symbol. The other three people, including the fourth-level martial artist, all had mountain patterns embroidered on their chests.
Yue Yu raised his eyebrows subconsciously. This situation was once again far beyond his expectation. Being able to arbitrarily command the intermediate martial arts masters in the Dong clan to do such private things for him shows that Jin Xu's power in the clan is far beyond his expectations.
It was beyond his imagination. Of course, there was good news. There was only one martial artist in the Nafei family, which meant that Jin Xu's financial resources were also lower than his expectations.
It's not surprising when you think about it. The Jin family has only been in power for three generations, so they don't have much accumulation. If they really have that much financial resources, they won't risk being accused by the elders of the clan by plotting to rob them.
's property.
But at this time, Yue Yu had an almost whimsical idea in his mind. Seeing the four people scattering and searching for their traces, there was no danger around him. Yue Yu lifted up the ones covering his head.
Then he looked at the direction where those people disappeared, and fell into deep thought.
"Ali, what do you think we kill them here?"
Ran Li, who was about to get up and pull Yue Yu back into the pit to avoid being discovered by the four people who might return at any time, almost bit his own tongue.
"Master, are you crazy? Those are four martial arts masters!"
"I'm not blind!"
Ran Li's forehead was covered with sweat. He felt that he was extremely brave, but at this moment, Ran Li felt that he was far behind in this regard compared to his little master.
"There is an intermediate martial artist there, maybe he can get rid of us all by himself!"
Yue Yu smiled and said nothing. He just glanced behind him at the six-stone longbow painted black and the bundles of long ropes in the pit - they were also left behind by the hunters a hundred years ago.
Yue Yu tried pulling it just now, and the toughness was pretty good.
At this moment, Ran Li's pupils suddenly opened, and he knew that the arrow Yue Yu shot that day was definitely no coincidence. Ran Li himself had tried it, but he couldn't let the arrow pass through the leaves at a distance of a hundred feet.
Even if it’s just a piece——
"But Master, didn't you say before that you wanted to hide our strength?"
"So if you want to take action, you have to kill them all in one go!"
Yue Yu frowned coldly. Then his pupils revealed a cunning look: "What do you think the clan would do if those three martial arts masters died in this forest?"
Ran Li was startled for a moment, but then he realized something. He didn't know what kind of reaction the clan would have, but Jin Xu, who ordered them to do private things for him, would definitely be very worried.
※※※※
Yue Youcheng was very agitated now, not only because the two prey he was chasing suddenly disappeared without a trace under his nose. There was also a vague guilt in his heart, and the feeling of being treated as a domestic slave by that person.
angry.
As a middle-level martial artist from the direct lineage of Yunzifang, the right person in the clan, it is already frustrating enough to be grabbed by a guy who is still a servant and has his sore leg manipulated at will. Not to mention, he has to be commanded.
To do such an unethical thing.
What was extremely annoying was that he couldn't refuse this time.
Yue Youcheng is now over sixty years old. His Qi cultivation reached the thirteenth level twelve years ago. However, in the past few decades, he has worked hard for his family and only managed to obtain about 300 acres of land for himself.
That's it. Only thirty acres of it are in the valley, and the rest are newly cultivated wasteland outside the valley. Not to mention the insufficient production, the safety is far inferior to that in the valley. And Yue Youcheng now has two sons and two daughters.
——If this was twenty years ago, it would be nothing. The worst thing is to continue to work hard for the clan for another few decades. One day, those monsters at the entrance of the valley can be driven away.
However, recently Yue Youcheng felt that his physical condition was deteriorating day by day. The old injuries he suffered when he was young were now starting to hurt badly. No matter how optimistic he was, he understood that his end might be coming soon.
.
This made Yue Youcheng, who always liked to rush and fight on the front line during battles, feel panic for the first time. He was worried about his wife and children. When he was alive, he could still use the money issued to him by his clan.
Generous monthly allowance to support the family. But what happens if he passes away?
Therefore, no matter what, you must leave something for your children, and then find a way to fight to death - this is the idea that Yue Youcheng holds now.
He felt ashamed in his heart, but this was also forced by Yue Zhang. He had never approved of using radical methods before. As long as the other party could compromise and give up some land, he would be satisfied. But the stingy woman,
He's actually so stingy that he won't even spit out an acre of it!
"Didn't you find any?"
When Yue Youcheng returned to the place where they broke up before, two fellow martial arts masters had already returned. This is not to say that his journey was not as good as it was, but that Yue Youcheng was pursuing further.
And as expected, he saw his two companions shaking their heads. Yue Youcheng's heart suddenly sank, and he regretted for the first time that he did not bring an experienced hunter out this time. It was really hard to imagine before that two
A child under the age of sixteen can actually have such powerful methods.
"Why hasn't Lili come back yet?"
Yue Youli, his clan brother, was also one of the companions who participated in this operation. At the same time as Yue Youde spat out these words, an obvious firelight rose in the sky to the north. The three of them looked at each other.
At one glance, everyone was refreshed and rushed in that direction.
The direction Yue Li was responsible for was precisely the north. Although the family's fireworks signals were used here, there was a possibility that others would discover it. However, at this time, he could not control so much.
The place where the fire lit up was about twenty miles away. At the speed of three people, they arrived there in an instant. However, the situation in that direction was reflected in the eyes of Yue Youcheng, who was rushing at the front.
At that moment, his mind suddenly froze.
All they saw was a human body with no sign of life, facing away from them, hanging in the air. What was frightening and inexplicable was that both the figure and the scar on his right hand were familiar to Yue Youcheng.
To.
And at this moment, he heard another sharp roar next to his ears. When Yue Youcheng turned his head following the source of the sound, he saw only a few afterimages passing through his field of vision. He finally woke up again
At that moment, Yue Youcheng saw a companion next to him, clutching his throat and falling down.
——Just when they were shocked, this third-level martial artist whose strength was second only to him had his throat sealed by an arrow.
