Chapter 61: The Hunting Ground

The hunting ground, located on the fifteenth floor of the temple, is a huge platform built on the outside, with a sunny and excellent natural light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As far as the eye can see, the vegetation is lush and animals are rampant. Perhaps due to the safety considerations of the Ancestral God Sect Master, Jiang Yun did not see fierce beasts such as bears and tigers in the hunting grounds, but instead they were vegetarian animals such as mountain horses, roe deer, and bison, and they were leisurely eating green weeds with their heads down.

After Jiang Yun and the others were taken to the hunting ground, a team of guards in emerald green leather armor ushered in front of them. Although the temple guards are all from the twelve tribes of Shanyue, there is no shortage of acquaintances with each other, but the guards in different places obviously have different systems, and they will show extreme caution and caution for people outside the system, regardless of their status and status, whether they are familiar with each other or not.

The leader of the Ancestral God Sect is the only messenger who can communicate with the ancestral god and convey the oracle, even in his sleep, the Shanyue people who are eager to bathe in the light of the ancestral god forever, will never allow any accidents to occur to the sect leader.

The guards who specialize in hunting, these hunting ground guards have seen many times, and they did not show much surprise at their arrival, nor did they have any actions to investigate and check their identities, because the other party is also a Shanyue person, since it is a Shanyue person, it is absolutely credible, and they have no problem with their loyalty. But these prey are different!

The eyes of the guards of the hunting ground never left Jiang Yun and the others for a moment, after the chief of the guard gave an order, they skillfully removed the rope from the waist behind them, tied all the prey hands behind them, and then, they searched back and forth on everyone several times very carefully, not even the shoes and socks were missing, and after no iron weapons were found, the guard's tightly locked eyebrows gradually relaxed.

He stepped forward, and in front of everyone, he said loudly in a deep voice: "Why are you here, I think you all know, I won't say more, I just tell you, no matter when, don't resist." ”

"You're going to be killed, and you are not allowed to resist? What to say you! ”

"You let Lao Tzu shoot an arrow without resisting!"

"Horizontal and vertical are death, whoever dares to shoot Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fight with him!"

These are prey, and if they are escorted to the hunting ground, they will be shot, and the words of the captain of the guard will not be ridiculous in the ears of everyone. It's like a butcher saying to the pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, obediently let me slaughter with a knife, don't struggle, this is not a logical problem at all, but how thick the skin is, to be able to say such shameless words as a matter of course!

Among the prey, there are many outlaws who live on the edge of life and death all the year round, otherwise they would not have come to the deep mountains of Yinan alone and were captured alive and sent to the temple, hearing this, the crowd suddenly exploded, and the noise came and went, life and death, who cares which you are, what is your identity? Almost everyone has the same thought, whoever doesn't let me live, I will die! Death has to be dragged on the back.

The horizontal is afraid of being stunned, the stunned is afraid of not dying, and the dying, the dying, and the dying, but they want to live, but they are mortal. The former is fearless, and the latter is fearless at the same time, under the pressure of not being able to survive, he will burst out with unimaginable anger, and no one can imagine what this kind of person will do.

Obviously, the temple side also fully took into account this kind of mind of the prey. In the face of everyone's noisy roar, the chief of the hunting ground guard seemed to have already made up his mind, and said slowly: "Hunting is not a matter of death, you have been in prison for so many days, you should have seen some people who retreated from the hunting ground, right?" And some people have survived more than once, whether they survive or not, in addition to luck, depends on your attitude! ”

He raised his right hand, compared a scissor hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Twenty arrows, each time you hunt, according to the regulations, the sect leader is only allowed to carry a maximum of twenty arrows, this is the law of the ancestors, the rules set by the sect masters of the past dynasties, including the sect leader himself, no one can violate it." And I can make an exception to tell you the news, the sect leader hunts, on average, three or four arrows will only hit once, and not one shot can hit the vital point, you might as well calculate for yourself, out of twenty people, how many people can survive. ”

The hearts of the people who said this jumped. This time for hunting, those "old men" who had been to the hunting ground, none of the evil winds were pointed, and these twenty people, including Jiang Yun, were all big girls on the sedan chair, and it was the first time that they really came. In prison, I heard about the tragedy of hunting, and there were some exaggerated elements in the mentality of the old man for the rest of his life.

Now that I have listened to the words of the chief of the guard, everyone has a calculation in their hearts, it is true! It is conservatively estimated that if three arrows shoot one person, even if six arrows hit the vital point once, then only four or five people will really die on the hunting ground this time. Only one out of four people died, and the survival rate was already quite impressive.

Seeing that most people's hideous expressions gradually faded, and the desire to survive rekindled in their eyes, the chief guard nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't want to, an inconspicuous middle-aged man suddenly asked, "What if you resist?" ”

Jiang Yun glanced at him in surprise, this person's face was a little pale, his temperament was gloomy, Xiong Buju had mentioned when introducing the prisoner, this person's name was Yan Tianhua, he was a murderer, and he should never be provoked unless he had to. It is said that he was an ordinary hunter in the head of the Yang family, because of a time out, his daughter-in-law was violated by the chief, and committed suicide in anger under shame, after he came back and heard about it, he rushed into the house of the chief alone, slaughtered the door full of twenty-six people, and then fled overnight, and finally sneaked into the Yinan Mountains, and landed in such a field.

This is a ruthless person, but also a person who understands. At a time when everyone thought he would be one of the three of the four who survived, he was the only one who knew who could be sure that he wasn't the last to be shot? Probability, no matter how good it sounds, is only a probability, after all, this kind of thing only has two endings: life or death, understand that people will not hand over their lives to luck, they will take the initiative to seek, to grasp that glimmer of life.

My fate is up to me, not to God, this is the original spirit of this statement.

It's just that this kind of understanding, in the eyes of the chief of the guard, is not good or bad. I saw him smile coldly, raised his hand and pointed at the dozen or so guards behind him, and said, "While the sect master is hunting, as long as he approaches the prey within ten steps of the sect master, they will draw their bows and aim. Of course, usually they only aim and do not shoot arrows, but as long as they find the slightest resistance of their prey, they will shoot and threaten it as soon as possible. ”

Looking at everyone's somewhat dazed eyes, the chief of the guard opened his mouth and drank: "Mo Tu! ”

After speaking, a guard flashed from behind him, took the longbow from his back, opened the bow and drew the string, and completed it in one go. With a "whoosh", the sharp arrow flew out at a rapid speed without aiming at it.

Thirty paces away, a roe deer was on the run, and fell headlong amid a scream. Another guard ran forward and dragged the roe deer in front of everyone, and everyone, including Jiang Yun, gasped.

I saw that the sharp arrow penetrated through the left eye of the roe deer, and the right eye pierced out, and in the face of the prey running quickly, it could shoot so accurately, if the target was changed to anyone present, I am afraid that the end would never be much better than this roe deer.

The power of an arrow made the middle-aged man completely silent, and everyone looked at Mo Tu with a bow in his hand.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, the chief guard threw out a sweet date again, smiled and said, "Although resistance is not allowed, you can also think of other ways, such as assisting each other, or pulling people to block arrows at critical moments, which can increase your chances of survival." According to the regulations, as long as one of you can survive from the hunting ground ten times, then you will be forgiven by the sect master, released from prison, and return to live in Yibei, of course, if you don't want to go out of the mountain for various reasons, we will also arrange for you to join a tribe, and from then on become Shanyue people, and bathe the blessings of the ancestral gods with us. ”

If the previous words made everyone hope for survival, then these words made them completely excited! It is gratifying to survive once, but no matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible for him to die under the endless hunting activities, and sooner or later he will die. Only freedom, gaining freedom, will allow them to wake up from this nightmare.

"Alright, the Sect Master is almost here, you still have some time to learn about the site and the species group." The chief of the guard pointed into the distance and said loudly, "See? In order to make the hunt more interesting, there are some huge rocks placed all over the hunting grounds, which and the animals in the hunting grounds can provide you with some cover, and if used well, can fully increase your chances of survival.

The chief guard waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately scattered around the hunting ground, sticking to their respective guard positions, holding longbows, sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes and resting, obviously preparing for the upcoming hunt.

"Finally, one more thing." The chief guard thought for a moment and said, "Don't try to untie the rope that binds your hands, once the rope falls off, it will be regarded as resistance and will be killed!" ”

With such a tight defense, Jiang Yun's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, this matter is not easy to do.
