Chapter 45 The sword is like a long rainbow breaking a sounding arrow
Ling Tianyun flicked the blood stains remaining on the blade and shuttled through the dense forest like a leopard. He didn't know what kind of crisis was waiting for him ahead. The entire dense forest was like a trap laid by a hunter, quietly moving.
Waiting for the arrival of prey, who is the prey and who is the hunter after all.
He walked through rows of pine trees and looked around alertly. The stars in the night sky seemed to be brighter, and the arc-shaped waning moon was like the curved eyes of a beautiful woman, staring unblinkingly at the dense forest.
Among them, he flashed past green pines and thick old trees.
Ling Tianyun bent over and came to a dead tree with all its leaves. In front of it was a stream less than two feet wide. The water flowed "gushingly". The sound of the stream added to the silence of the dense forest.
It was somewhat quiet. Beside him, there were several dense green pine trees.
With the help of the weak starlight, it could be seen that the water in the creek was not deep. Ling Tianyun hesitated for a moment. He returned the dead tree and stayed quietly for a while, but did not hear any movement. He probed his head again and went there.
I looked at the creek and saw that both sides of the creek, which was less than two feet tall, were lined with dense green pines. There were large rocks beneath the green pines, and the stream water rushed over the large rocks, making bursts of sounds.
He looked around again, and was basically sure that there was no danger here. He rushed out from behind the tree, and when he reached the stream, he jumped and crossed the stream easily.
Ling Tianyun wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because he was nervous or because he was still experiencing pain in his lower abdomen. The pain made him sweat. After crossing the stream, he lowered his body again, a
He walked through the row of green pine trees. He paid attention to his feet from time to time. Hunters often came here to hunt in this dense forest, and traps were often set up to catch prey. Although these traps did not bring much harm to him, they
A little less trouble is a little less.
After crossing the creek, the trees here became even denser. There was a gloomy feeling all around, and occasionally a cold wind blew, and the "whooshing" sound of the wind echoed in the dense forest. Ling Tianyun couldn't help but slow down.
He stopped walking and listened carefully to every sound coming from the dense forest.
The soft dead leaves were stepping on the feet, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly surged up. Ling Tianyun couldn't help but stop. It was dark all around, and there were only occasional and a few beams of moonlight coming down from the trees in the jungle, and the mottled light and shadow flickered.
of.
At this time, a piercing breath suddenly shot straight towards his back. The piercing breath made his scalp feel like it was exploding, and all the hairs on his body stood up. He immediately fell forward and fell to the ground.
When he just landed, the air-piercing breath suddenly shot over his head, and at this time, several more air-piercing sounds came from behind him.
As soon as Ling Tianyun felt the sound of piercing the sky, he rolled again to avoid the sound of piercing the sky that hit his back. He rolled to an ancient tree and looked through the moonlight, only to see the bushes.
There were several arrow feathers stuck on the dead leaves of the bush. The arrow feathers were submerged into the ground, only the tail feathers were exposed, and the exposed tail feathers were still trembling.
Ling Tianyun's eyes narrowed, what a precise arrow. He hid beside the tree, and the sound of breaking through the sky stopped.
Who is he? Such precise archery skills. Suddenly, he thought of Yelu Boqing who was killed by an arrow that afternoon in Baishui City. Is this person the real murderer of Yelu Boqing? Everything.
It's all possible. If this person is the real culprit who shot Yelu Boqing, Ling Tianyun can't let him go. This person used the arrows of the Baishui Pass defenders to kill Yelu Boqing in order to put the blame on Baishui.
The garrison of Guan.
At this time, Ling Tianyun did not dare to act rashly, and was always on guard against the archer in the dark. There might be more than one archer, but not necessarily. For a while, Ling Tianyun hid behind the tree and did not move, and neither did the archer in the dark.
The arrow was fired again. In this stalemate, no one made any sound.
Ling Tianyun was thinking about how to determine the position of the archer in the dark. He casually touched a stone and threw it around. He only heard a "swish" sound, and an arrow cut through the silent forest, heading towards
The stone shot away.
There is a sound of "ba",
The iron arrows that were shot had already pierced the stone, and the stones immediately turned into debris and fell one after another. Seeing this, Ling Tianyun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. How could he avoid such superb archery skills?
. He picked up a few more stones on the ground, raised his hand, and the stones shot out one after another around him.
"Swish, swish, swish", there were several sounds of piercing the air, and several arrow feathers hit the stone flying out of his hand. Isn't it an archer? Ling Tianyun felt that the few arrows that shot through the stone were
He picked up the arrow and couldn't help but wonder in his heart. Now he was in big trouble. Even if there was only one archer in the dark, it would not cause him such a headache, let alone more than one.
There was a rustling sound, and then there was the sound of crickets. "What happened?" Ling Tianyun felt a chill in his heart. At this moment, he was sure that more than one archer, at least two, were surrounding his hiding place.
Come on. Those archers are obviously good at shooting at night. If you are surrounded by them, your life may depend on it.
Ling Tianyun randomly picked up a few more rocks and shot them around him, but he rushed to another place in the opposite direction. His body jumped as fast as a rabbit, when his body just
When he passed the big tree where he was hiding, several arrows locked onto him and turned into meteors, shooting towards him.
Ling Tianyun raised the knife in his hand, swung the layers of knife shadows, and chopped the arrows to the ground. He was not allowed to make any more moves, and several more arrows came through the air. He lowered his body,
His body turned into afterimages and shot straight away. "Whoosh", arrows shot through his afterimages and landed on the ground.
Ling Tianyun didn't dare to pause. He was running around in the dense forest like a leopard. He turned right, turned left, and ran in an arc. Those who shot at his back
The arrows all "swooshed" and fell into the air one after another, sinking into the ground, leaving a tail feather trembling.
After a few leaps, Ling Tianyun disappeared into the dark forest. No more sounds were made, and he seemed to have disappeared into the dense forest.
But he saw two figures walking out from the tree where Ling Tianyun had just been hiding. These two people were also wearing soap-colored clothes. These two people were relatively thin, just over six feet tall. They were loaded with arrows.
They held their quivers with feathers, and in their hands they held bows that were stretched like the full moon.
The two people looked at each other, lowered their waists and ran towards the place where Ling Tianyun disappeared. The two people looked around with full vigilance, while listening carefully to any sound coming from the dense forest. There was a sound in the dense forest.
In the quiet and dark forest, it looked like a wild beast waiting for food to come in. They paused for a while, but still found no trace of Ling Tianyun.
At this moment, they began to transform from hunters into prey, and Ling Tianyun became a hunter at this moment, a real hunter.
The two archers crouched and walked slowly. They stopped from time to time and looked around. One archer made a gesture, and the other jumped up and flew onto a green pine next to them.
Above. The archer on the green pine parted the dense pine needles and looked down.
All he could see was the darkness below, and under the weak moonlight, the surrounding branches were swaying wildly in the wind. He looked far into the distance, trying to find something from below, but found nothing.
The man under the tree raised his head and glanced at the archer on the tree. He saw him making a gesture and understood that he had not found anything. The man made another gesture, which meant that he told the man on the tree to stay up there first.
Go find the whereabouts of Ling Tianyun.
The man stepped on the soft dead leaves, making a "rustling" sound. He walked forward cautiously, and reached a distance of almost a hundred feet, but it took him nearly a quarter of an hour to reach the distance of a hundred feet.
time.
The man looked back, but could no longer see the green pine tree hiding the other archer in the dark forest. An unknown fear began to spread, and he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
He licked his chapped lips with his tongue, his eyes glinting from time to time, and he looked around carefully.
"Whoosh" sound,
He retreated subconsciously and saw a black shadow passing in front of him. He felt the trajectory of the black shadow passing by. He raised the bow that was as full as the full moon, and when he released his fingers, the arrow shot towards him like lightning.
The black shadow shot away. He saw the black shadow flicker, and he heard the sound of the arrow shooting into the flesh. He quickened his pace and walked towards the black shadow, and saw that it was a hare. The arrow had already removed the hare from its belly.
It passed through and was nailed to the ground, but the wild rabbit was still struggling, kicking and kicking its limbs.
He took a long breath, and his tense nerves immediately relaxed.
Wait, his heart trembled, and he seemed to feel that something was wrong. He was about to lower his body to pick up the hare, but at this moment, a cold light cut through the dark forest, came towards him, and went straight to his
Throat. He was suddenly startled and raised his bow to block the oncoming cold light.
There was a sound of "stretch",
The bow in his hand had been cut by the cold light and suddenly split into two pieces. The bow did not block the cold light that was heading towards his throat, and the cold light passed by his throat like a broken bamboo.
I saw several feet of blood splashing from the man's throat. The man's eyes were wide open as if unwilling to give in, but he could only fall forward. His body happened to fall on the hare that was nailed to the ground by the arrow. His eyes
He happened to see the hare tied up by a withered vine. He seemed to understand something and tried to catch the hare with his hands, but he dropped it weakly and his eyes gradually lost their luster.
Ling Tianyun held the saber dripping with blood and looked coldly at the archer who fell to the ground without any expression. The archer's body gradually stiffened, while blood splattered wildly around his throat.
A figure held a knife, turned around and disappeared into the quiet forest, and a strong smell of blood began to spread.
The archer hiding on the green pine waited for a long time, but still did not wait for the return of the other archer. He had a bad premonition, but at this time, a faint smell of blood wafted into him
In his nose, his expression changed and he secretly exclaimed something bad. His body slipped from the green pine and landed gently on the ground without making any sound.
He lowered his body and walked step by step towards the place that smelled of blood. The smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.
Under the faint starlight, I saw a man lying on his back with his eyes wide open. Blood was pouring out of the man's throat, and the other half of a bow that had been broken into two parts was tightly grasped by him.
In his hand, the other half was on the ground not far away from him. All the arrows in the quiver on his back had fallen to the ground.
He lowered his body and picked up the arrows that were scattered on the ground, filling the quiver behind him. He put the quiver back on his back, and felt the weight of the quiver increased, which made him feel at ease.
Coming down, he couldn't help but lowered his body and touched the short knife hidden next to the cowhide boots, and felt a slight warmth coming from the short knife.
He glanced at the corpse lying on the ground again, and there was a cold light in his eyes. The cold light existed like a will-o'-the-wisp in the dark forest. The man's figure swung again, like an arrow coming off the string,
Cunning and fast, but making no sound on the thick withered leaves.
In the quiet dense forest, the strong blood spread out, and the entire dense forest was like a bloody purgatory.
