Chapter 531: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
At night, when Isabel stood up quietly and looked at him intently at the thief, who was leaning against a thick beech tree with a spear in his arms and his head pointing down like a chicken pecking at food. He quickly drew his bow and mounted an arrow, aimed it at his left chest, and with a spread of his three fingers, the thief fell to the ground without even a chance to say a word.
When Isabel thought back to the scene where she had used a bow and arrow to assassinate the guard post, she felt as if she had seen it somewhere. Think about it... Come to think of it again, yes, she's seen it in Tomb Raider 9 and Tomb Raider Rise. She thinks she's not bad at all compared to the English Countess XI in the game, and in some ways is better.
She and Laura both have brown pupils, and the iconic M-shaped lips may not be the same. At only five feet four inches (about 1.62 meters), Laura is a head shorter than the men around her. In terms of height, Laura is three inches behind her, and looks about the same as her sister.
Age, both are 21 years old. Well, her real age is 6 years older than Laura. Education, both of them graduated from university. Moreover, she graduated from the Naval Academy, much better than the lesser-known university that Laura attended.
As for the ability to be practical, level-headed, brave and good at fighting, she thinks she is better than Laura. In addition, she has leadership skills, the ability to participate in advice and deliberations, the ability to navigate, the ability to fight with cold weapons, and the social connections that everyone envies......
Isabel shook her head vigorously and blinked her eyes, and she found herself still hanging from the beech tree. However, this scene is too similar to the scene when Laura came to the icy Siberia to climb the ice. At this point, she was doing a similar motion to Laura using two ice axes to alternately ascend into the almost vertical ice wall. Only, one ascends with two ice axes on the ice wall, and the other uses two small tactical knives on the thick tree to raise his body.
The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground after the thief had been hit by an arrow just now made the others startled. Since Isabel had strictly ordered no noise before the operation, everyone present was afraid that the sound of the thieves falling to the ground would attract the attention of the other thieves. Fearless and sensible, Isabel paid no attention to the voice, for she knew that the thieves had fallen into a deep sleep at this time, and that the people in deep sleep had entered a state of unconscious pleasure.
On the premise of grasping the firm fulcrum at the top of the front, the forearm is attached to the trunk of the tree, and the pull-up movement is forcefully pulled, and the two feet are supported by the push force of the inside of the forefoot or the toes, reducing the burden on the upper limbs. Isabel quickly climbed to the middle and lower part of the beech tree.
With both hands gripping the hilt of the tactical knife inserted into the trunk of the tree, he turned his head to look into the air to the west. After a moment of closer inspection, it appeared that the longbowmen hiding on the branches of the trees to the west were also sleeping. Then she looked to the east again, and at first glance she found nothing. On closer inspection, the longbowman was sitting on the back of the trunk facing him, with only a few sleeves exposed.
At this moment, two strange bird calls were heard on the ground in the east and west. That's right, it's the sound of a mission from the ground assassination team she sent out. Isabel hurriedly stretched out her right hand and grabbed the root of a thick branch in the air on the right, and then her left hand also reached out to the branch, and the whole person hung in the air. Without waiting for his arms to get tired, he immediately made another pull-up movement to climb the branch.
After retrieving her two tactical knives, she half-crouched on the branch and observed the well-hidden longbowman to the east. She was thinking about how to get the longbowman to reach out so that she could avoid the problem of shooting the longbowman from the trunk. After waiting quietly under the night sky for a long time without seeing the longbow move its hand, she had to temporarily turn her gaze to the west, which had a good view.
Stand up straight in silence, remove your longbow and draw your bow and arrows. Aim, scatter, and fly at high speed with arrows that accurately hit the longbowman who was sitting on the branch of a tree with his head also bowed. Still without making a sound, he fell headlong into the ground from mid-air.
"Woo ......!" As the longbowman's body fell to the ground, there was a dull thud of landing. As Isabel had expected, there was still no sound in the camp at Noda. Isabel quickly drew a second arrow and placed it on the bowstring, turning to aim at the longbowmen in mid-air to the east.
At this time, there has been no movement in the south. She didn't see a single guard post in the air or on the ground, and she couldn't understand why the thieves hadn't set up a guard post to the south. Forget it, let's ignore the problems in the south and solve the longbowmen in the east first.
Waiting, endless waiting, Isabel never dared to withdraw the bowstring that had been pulled open, and withdrew the arrow that was placed on the string. There was no sound in my ears except a few bird calls and the sound of the breeze blowing from Xixi. Time passed little by little, and the longbowman who sat on the branch behind the trunk in front remained motionless.
Isabel didn't want to wait any longer, intending to provoke the longbowmen's reaction by luring the snake out of the hole. Slowly moving his arm, aiming the arrow precisely at the little sleeve that was exposed on the longbowman's right arm. Holding his breath and concentrating, the three fingers of his right hand were scattered, and the arrow almost stuck to the bark on the surface of the trunk and passed through the little exposed sleeve of the other party's coat.
When the first arrow was fired, she quickly pulled the second arrow from her quiver on her back and put it on the string, waiting for the other to react. I didn't expect that the other party didn't react at all. "Hell, this guy would sleep so hard." Isabel had to make a second effort, "Whoosh...!" The second arrow shot at the opponent's sleeve again.
"Damn, it would be nice if there was a sniper rifle with a thermal imaging sight that would go straight through the trunk and finish this guy off." The moment Isabel muttered, the other party let out a scream that was cut through the skin by the edge of the iron arrow. Immediately afterward, the head and body began to shake continuously.
"Got you!" Just as the opponent's head appeared in Isabel's field of vision, a third arrow flew towards the opponent's head at lightning speed. With a third effort and a third arrow, the guy was finally shot off the tree.
Just as the longbowman fell to the ground, the door to a hut on the east side suddenly opened, and a man dressed in peasant clothes yawned and walked out.
