This voice Xiao Ping is not unfamiliar, when he was in the 15th Special Operations Brigade watching Lei Qianlong train with his subordinates, he heard similar voices many times. This is the sound of the bowstring when the crossbow is fired.

Because of the special needs of the special operations brigade, it will be equipped with this kind of cold weapon. Although the lethality and accuracy of the crossbow at long distances are not as good as those of guns, they are not inferior at short distances, and they also have the advantage of being quiet, so they will be introduced into the usual training by the Thunder Dragon.

And that is because Xiao Ping often goes to the barracks of the 15th Special Operations Brigade for exercise, and he has no less contact with this weapon. And although this light sound is slightly different from the bow and crossbow used by the special combat team, Xiao Ping is completely sure that it is definitely the same weapon.

At this moment, Xiao Ping only felt that the hairs on his back stood up, and he almost instinctively pounced forward. However, the expected ensuing crossbow bolt did not shoot at Xiao Ping, but flew straight towards Jessica!

Xiao Ping immediately discovered this, stepped on the stirrups with both feet, and pounced on Jessica next to him like a big bird. The lethality of the bow and crossbow at close range is amazing, if Jessica is shot, it is very likely that she will die on the spot, even if Xiao Ping has a demon refining pot, he can't save her.

However, because of the delay for a while, no matter how hard Xiao Ping tried, he couldn't catch up with the speed of the crossbow arrows. Xiao Ping, who was in mid-air, watched the crossbow arrows fly towards Jessica, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only remind loudly with tears in his eyes: "Be careful!"

Jessica didn't react at all, and turned her head to look at Xiao Ping curiously, completely unaware that her life was in danger.

At this critical juncture, Jessica's beloved horse suddenly became powerful. I didn't see how it moved, just a flick of its hind hooves. took Jessica and rushed forward more than two meters away.

Don't underestimate the distance of two meters, Jessica's life and death have already been decided at this time. In fact, Jessica's beloved horse had just moved forward a dozen centimeters with her. The sharp bolt had already hit, almost flying against her back. Then he fell far into the grass.

Xiao Ping took in this scene, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, glad in his heart that Jessica was riding a pony that she raised in the demon refining pot today, otherwise her life would be in danger.

Xiao Ping selected a total of four adult horses from the demon refining pot, three of which were bought by Douglas, and the only mare was favored by Jessica and became her mount. It's a coincidence that today is the first time Jessica has ridden this mare out, and she was actually saved by it.

And the horse jumped forward like this, not only saving Jessica's life. also bought time for Xiao Ping. As soon as his feet touched the ground without knocking down Jessica for the first time, the whole person jumped high again like a spring, directly pulling Jessica off the horse.

After landing on the ground, Xiao Ping took Jessica with one hand, signaling her to lower her body as much as possible, and patting the horse lightly with the other hand, signaling that it could get out of here. The horse had just saved Jessica's life, and Xiao Ping was worried that the other party would be angry and take it as a target, and he didn't want Jessica's savior to be killed like this.

Speaking of which, the pony who grew up in the demon refining pot is human, and the horse quickly sped up and ran into the distance. also took away the horse that Xiao Ping was riding. In this way, Xiao Ping doesn't have to worry about the safety of the horse, but can go all out to deal with the guy who released the cold arrow.

Now Jessica also realized that the situation was wrong, she hid behind the grass that was half a person high, and asked Xiao Ping in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Xiao Ping shook his head lightly and said that he didn't quite understand. Then he whispered to Jessica, "Someone shot us with a crossbow arrow, and just almost hit you." Looks like this guy wants our lives, so be very careful!"

This made Jessica's face turn pale. As a girl who grew up on a ranch. She also knew how powerful the crossbow arrows were. However, now that the other party has such a big killing weapon in his hand, the two of them don't even have a stick in their hands. The contrast between the equipment of the two sides is too great. At this time, Jessica regretted that she didn't bring a gun with her when she went out, even if it was an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun. It's better than doing it with your bare hands now, isn't it?

Xiao Ping didn't think so much at this time, he carefully hid in the grass, constantly scanning the surroundings, and at the same time listening attentively to even the slightest movement.

The biggest problem with something like a bow and crossbow is that it is cumbersome to rewind, and there will be a long time between shots. Since the first arrow missed, the opponent should continue to attack next. As long as you hear the sound of him winding, you can judge the direction of this person, and then Xiao Ping will be sure to subdue this guy.

Even if the other party gave up after an unsuccessful attack, Xiao Ping also wanted to hear the sound of the other party leaving, so he could still catch this killer hiding in the ranch. Such a guy is too dangerous, he actually hides in the grass of the pasture to assassinate, and Xiao Ping will not feel at ease if he is not pulled out.

The most important thing now is to stay quiet and calm, Xiao Ping gestured to Jessica behind her, asking her to stay quiet and not move. Jessica also knew that Lu Dao's current situation was critical, and nodded to Xiao Ping with a resolute expression, indicating that she would definitely listen to his arrangement.

The only thing he can do now is to compete with the other party patiently, Xiao Ping maintained a posture that he could rush out of the bush at any time, squatting motionless behind the grass, patiently searching for the other party's traces.

At the same moment, about forty meters away from Xiao Ping, a man was sitting on the ground, using a winch to wind the bow and crossbow in his hand at a very slow speed. This man's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were burning with jealousy, and Xiao Ping would definitely be surprised if he saw him. This guy is not a professional killer, it is Williams who presented flowers to Jessica in front of the building a while ago, but was gorgeously ignored!

Williams's personality is already very extreme, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wait for Jessica to get off work at the magazine every day, and almost let others call the police. Since being ignored by Jessica in public in Times Square, Williams has hated both her and Xiao Ping.

Williams, who hated Jessica because of his love, became more and more angry when he came home that night, and the next day he brought a dagger to wait for Jessica to get off work, intending to give her some color in public.

However, what Williams didn't expect was that the next day Jessica and Xiao Ping went to the ranch. As a result, he waited for several days, but he didn't even see Jessica's figure.

This puts Williams in a situation that borders on madness, and he searches everywhere for Jessica's whereabouts, just wanting to find out this "bad man" for revenge.

It was at this time that Williams unexpectedly saw Jessica in a news report about Lillian's ranch. This discovery overjoyed him, and he hurried to the ranch to wait for the rabbits, hoping to complete his revenge plan.

Unfortunately, Jessica returned to New York to help Xiao Ping during that time, so Williams waited at the ranch for several days in vain. Speaking of which, although this guy has an extreme personality, he also has a particularly strong perseverance because of this. In addition to going to nearby towns to buy necessary supplies, Williams has been on the ranch.

Because during the day, Williams did not dare to go to the other side of the ranch where there were more workers, so he could only stay on the edge of the ranch to kill time. He didn't expect that his luck would be so good, and he would actually see Jessica and Xiao Ping riding side by side towards him.

Feeling that revenge was promising, Williams hurriedly prepared his crossbow arrows, and when the two of them got close enough, he shot a vicious crossbow arrow at Jessica. Thanks to Jessica's horse's reaction in the last moments, she was helped to avoid this catastrophe.

However, Williams, who was determined to kill Jessica and Xiao Ping, did not leave, and he hid in place to wind his crossbow, intending to launch a deadly attack on the two when he was ready.

"Jessica, you can only belong to me!" Williams muttered to himself as he wound his bow and crossbow, "Since you are in love with someone else, you can only die with that person!"

Thinking of this, Williams had a somewhat crazy look on his originally handsome face. He kept spinning the winch, and finally the crossbow made a very soft "click" sound, indicating that the bowstring was in place.

"I'm coming, dear!" Williams said to Jessica in his heart, loading another bolt on the crossbow. Then he roughly judged the direction, and then quietly moved forward.

What Williams didn't know was that the "click" sound of the crossbow did not hide Xiao Ping's ears. He was vigilant in that direction, holding his breath and listening carefully for any unusual sounds.

Xiao Ping's efforts were not in vain, and he soon heard the sound of soft footsteps. Although Williams was very careful, every step he took was extremely slow. But even such a slight footstep still couldn't hide Xiao Ping's ears, and he couldn't distinguish Williams' footsteps in the breezy pasture.

Zhilu explained the exact direction of the other party, which eased Xiao Ping's nervous mood a lot. He motioned for Jessica to wait, then tiptoed in the direction from which the voice had come from.

Compared to Williams, Xiao Ping's footsteps were much softer. With Williams' abilities, his footsteps could not be heard at all. At the moment, one of the two of them already knew the exact location of the other party, and the other was completely unaware that the other party was approaching him, although Williams had a deadly crossbow arrow in his hand, but the balance of advantage had begun to slowly tilt in Xiao Ping's direction.

Xiao Ping bent down and carefully advanced in the half-human-high tall grass, trying not to make too much noise. He soon noticed that the sound of "Si Xi Suo" was getting louder and louder in front of him, and then he saw a cat with a bent waist, looking in the direction of Jessica. (To be continued......)
