Chapter 976 - There is no return
The three of them glanced at each other, patted the knife on their waists, and said, "Our three brothers have always tied their heads to their trouser belts when they killed people and plundered goods. Where do you care. So Brother Yang don't worry, as long as you are with us, no matter what he has, our three brothers will settle it, and you can take medicine. “
So the three of them followed the winding road to Nanshan, the valley was not very large, and they had already reached the foot of the mountain in an hour. The slope of the south mountain is not very steep, but the whole mountain is overgrown with towering trees, even hundreds of zhang, and it is estimated that people will have to eat a meal to climb to the top of the mountain, even if they are good.
However, there is an advantage to being under such a towering tree, that is, the plants grow taller. On the contrary, there are not too many bushes and thorns on the ground, and it is much easier to walk the path, without having to use a knife to chop all the way to open the way. Therefore, it is still somewhat pleasant to walk under such towering trees, as if walking on a boulevard.
After Yang Xianmao entered the mountain, he looked around, and the Tao brothers finished the glyphs, distributed on his left and right sides and behind, looking ahead vigilantly, listening to the movements around him from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite tense.
After walking into the depths of the dense forest for about an hour, I looked back at the village of disaster in the valley, which had completely disappeared, and everything was quiet except for a few birdsong from time to time.
Yang Xianmao pointed to a section of red vines sticking out of a stone cliff, and said in surprise: "Oh, this is a good thing, this is called water vine, it is a very good medicine for rheumatism, and it also has a certain auxiliary effect on gout. “
Yang Xianmao said that he wanted to climb the rock to cut it, but Tao Laosan behind him took the first step, climbed onto the rock, grabbed the vine and said to Yang Xianmao: "Cut it down or just one piece?"
Yang Xianmao was full of admiration: "Your light skills are good." “
Boss Tao said a little proudly: "His light skills are indeed good, and he is also famous in the rivers and lakes." To tell the truth, when we met officers and men, we relied on his light skills to lure them away, and then they escaped again, so that we could get out, otherwise we would have fallen into the hands of officers and soldiers long ago. “
Tao Lao Er said: "That's not just for the officers and soldiers, but also for the enemy's pursuit." That time we were chased to the edge of the cliff, and he also hung us down with a rope, and then he climbed down again, otherwise the two of us would not have been able to get down. “
Boss Tao said: "In this way, he is still the lifesaver of the two of us." “
"Isn't it? We have to toast him tonight with a glass of wine and thank him for saving his life. “
The two of them were like singing double reeds, and you and I made Tao Laosan's face laugh badly, and said: "Two brothers, don't make fun of me." Big brother, you can't find a second one on the rivers and lakes of your iron sand palm, and your second brother's nine-section whip is even more amazing, and there are a few that can stand out from it. “
Boss Tao clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, let's stop boasting, hurry up and get down to business, Dad is still waiting for Brother Yang to go back for treatment at home, just cut some down." “
At that moment, the old Tao san cut off a piece of Nan Teng with a knife in his hand, and then easily jumped down from the high rock, landed in front of Yang Xianmao, handed him Nan Teng, and said, "Do you still like it?"
Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "Very good." “
"I'll carry it. “
Tang Laosan carried a bamboo basket on his back, threw the herb into the basket, and the four of them continued to walk deep into the dense forest.
As they were walking, several people suddenly stopped, because they heard the sound of stepping on leaves, and it came from the mountain, and there was a fishy stench wafting in the wind, which only wild animals have. Yang Xianmao stood still and stared ahead, and the three Tao brothers were even more nervous, and immediately took off the bow on their backs, bent the bow and arrows, and stared ahead.
Soon a huge bear appeared from the bushes, and when he saw this bear, even the well-informed Yang Xianmao was startled, because it was so strong, even Yang Xianmao felt shocked. It was at least twice as big as an ordinary bear, and Yang Xianmao had never seen such a burly bear, its eyes were small, but it stared at them with a murderous luster, but it didn't rush down, just roared. The three Tao brothers hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows and aimed them at the bear, and then Yang Xianmao said loudly: "Don't release the arrow first, lest it be more terrible after hurting it." “
The three of them quickly let go of the arrows and stared nervously at the bear, and Boss Tao said, "What should we do?"
Yang Xianmao said: "Look at it so high, can you run it? Don't be nervous first, people are afraid of wild beasts, in fact, sometimes wild beasts are more afraid of people, see if you can scare it away." “
So several people stared at the bear with fierce eyes.
But after a few moments, the clatter of crushed leaves sounded behind them, and the smell of the same fishy smell as the previous bear wafted over, and pressed towards them.
At this time, the bear in front of them rushed towards them, it turned out that these bears still knew how to cooperate strategically, and waited for each other to be in place before launching an attack together. Yang Xianmao felt his heart sink, it seemed that today would be a fierce battle.
Yang Xianmao had already noticed the tree next to him, and immediately shouted, "Go up the tree." “
Needless to say, the other three had already kicked up to the tree next to them, and climbed to the trunk in three or two clicks.
The bear rushed to them, looked up at them, let out an earth-shattering roar, and then snapped his palm and knocked it down. Tao Da on the tree fell down with the tree, he was also agile, rolled before landing, and stood up with a huge downward force. Ignoring anything else, he aimed his black bow at the neck of the bear in front of him and shot an arrow.
The arrow popped into the bear's neck, but it only went in an inch or two, it turned out that the bear had rough skin and thick flesh, and the arrow could only shoot into one or two inches. The injured bear was even more terrifying, screaming wildly, and pounced on Tao Boss, and the other two rushed towards Tao Boss at the same time, he used the trunk to hide from the east, but the bear seemed to quickly find a way to deal with him, and the two bears came from different angles, and the speed was much faster than he ran.
The branch where Tao Lao Er and Tao Lao San were also cut off by the bear, and the two also fell down and ran around, and the bear immediately chased after them, and they had no time to draw their bows and arrows, so they could only throw away the longbow and pick up a single knife to fight with the bear.
After a few clicks, the bear didn't dodge much, and there was blood flying on his arms, and it was just cutting the flesh and skin, and it couldn't hurt the vital point at all. Tao Laosan stabbed a bear in the chest, and was trembling by the bear, and the tip of the knife snapped into the skin, and the knife was broken in two by the palm, and then killed. Tao Laosan hurriedly blocked it with a knife, and with a click, the remaining handle was also broken, and several blood marks were drawn on Tao Laosan's chest, and the blood immediately stained his clothes red.
Tao Laoer's knife was also knocked away by the bear's palm, and he rolled on the ground in fright, but fortunately, it was still good for him to circle around. The bear continued to chase and was dodged by him, but he couldn't escape, because his speed was not as fast as the bear, he could only spin in place, but this was already a defeat and no victory, and his life would be gone. The three of them were extremely nervous and fell into despair.
At this moment, Yang Xianmao grabbed a long vine and flew from the air, crossed an arc, and at the same time, with a flick of his fingers, flashed several plum blossom needles as thin as cow hair. There was almost no sound and shot into the eyes of the bear, two of the three bears were blinded, and the other one was not shot because it was facing back, but Yang Xianmao's plum blossom needle shot the crook of its leg, but the bear didn't realize it, turned around and continued to chase Tang Laosan who was rolling on the ground.
Yang Xianmao grabbed another hanging green vine and drew a circle. At this time, the two bears below who were shot in the eye by him were already roaring, slashing everywhere, and immediately chopping down countless trees. It's just that Tao Laosan, who is no longer able to hurt the dexterous Tao. Tao Lao Er and Tao Lao Boss crawled away in horror, seeing the crazy dog and bear watching aimlessly, blood flowed from their eyes, and they knew that Yang Xianmao, who was flying in the air, used a hidden weapon to shoot the other party blind.
Boss Tao exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that brother, your secret weapon is so good, we didn't have to be so embarrassed if we knew to make a move earlier."
The third bear seemed to know that there was danger, and no longer bothered to pursue it, and turned around and rushed towards the depths of the dense forest. But there was also a bear chasing Yang Xianmao, which was floating in the air, and it seemed to have recognized that this was the culprit who injured them.
This is a bear with its head down and chasing Yang Xianmao. Yang Xianmao has never been able to find a suitable opportunity to shoot the plum blossom needle, and he is floating in the air, the green vine has been broken by the bear, and he fell to the ground.
The bear pounced, and Yang Xianmao used the Autumn Wind Slash to quickly dodge. After dodging the opponent's attack, he turned sideways behind it, drew a dagger and stabbed it into the eye of the bear, the bear was injured in one eye, and knew that he could not stay any longer, and immediately fled towards the depths of the dense forest.
The other two bears that had lost their eyes were still frantically looking around, knocking down countless trees, and the three Tao brothers watched from a distance in horror, and they didn't dare to let go of the arrows, because the bears had rough skin and thick flesh, and the arrows couldn't shoot at all. If they got closer, they were not sure that they would come out alive, Yang Xianmao gestured to them, pointed ahead, and signaled to leave it alone, hurry up, they are not here to hunt.
So the three Tao brothers tiptoed behind Yang Xianmao and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
After walking out of the road, the three Tao brothers breathed a sigh of relief after they could no longer hear the footsteps of the black bear, and Yang Xianmao asked Tao Laosan how about the injury on his chest? Tao Laosan tore open his shirt, fortunately, he hid quickly just now, the wound was not deep, and he should be fine after rubbing some gold sore medicine.
Boss Tao said: "Brother, you are really powerful, it turns out that your secret weapon is so clever. “
Tao Laosan said: "Not only is it a hidden weapon, but my brother's kung fu is also very good, just now the bear slammed him, and he was able to quickly dodge." And a dagger directly blinded the bear's eyes, this skill is far inferior to us. “
Everyone else nodded, almost looking at Yang Xianmao with adoring eyes, Yang Xianmao said: "No wonder everyone is nervous when they say that they are going to go up Nanshan, will these bears go down the mountain?"
"No, these bears in Nanshan rarely leave the mountains, so they hide in the mountains. But if you want to enter the depths of the dense forest, you always have to be surrounded and killed by them, and before that, there were many people who wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, collect medicine or something, and basically they had to go and never return. “
