Chapter 4: The Boy with the Bow
Chapter 4: The Boy with the Bow
"Big brother, I'm a little scared, it's almost night, can we go back first and come back tomorrow?" Yui tugged at the corner of Qin Xun's clothes and said timidly. "If Yui is scared, you can go back first, after all, high-level monsters like the Nether Tiger only come out at night, and besides, this guy's bounty is high, and it will also drop a lot of loot." Qin Xun looked back at Yui, with a typical expression of a wealth fan on his face.
"People are not afraid, I just think that the big brother will be eaten by the tiger now."
"Well, anyway, you haven't added a buff to me, so you're cursing me here, and I'm also very strong, okay." Qin Xun said with an unhappy face.
As the two of them went deeper into the forest, before they knew it, the moon had risen. "It's so dark here, but why doesn't Big Brother let me use magic lighting?" Yui asked, confused.
"If there is a bright light in the dark environment, it will become the target of all nocturnal monsters, and if I encounter a monster or other subhuman race that is too high-level, it will be difficult for me to deal with it." Qin Xun groped his way forward as he spoke.
"Shhhh
At this moment, the air around the two seemed to freeze, everything around them was a little quiet, and the white moonlight also added a touch of weirdness to the forest.
With a whoosh, two arrows flew out towards Qin Xun in the grass not far away, because the bow and arrow were quickly cut off by the bushido that was pulled out, but the moment the arrow was blocked, the katana also appeared a slight crack.
"Cut, didn't you hit?"
"That's a pity, come out of nowhere." Qin Xun shouted to the grass where the bow and arrow flew out just now. [Intermediate Magic: Flame Impact], Yui, who was standing behind Qin Xun, suddenly jumped out, picked up the staff and pointed it at the grass is a skill, and most of the surrounding shelter was also turned into ashes after the impact of the flames.
Can you use a low-level mage with mid-level magic, Qin Xun glanced back at Yui who had just used the skill and couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart.
"Cut, looks like the guy in trouble"
"You were the one who attacked us with a hidden arrow in the grass just now," Qin Xun said to a figure half-crouching on a crooked neck tree not far ahead.
"It's really disappointing, I thought it was the group of guys who put the monsters around," said the figure, and jumped down from the tree, looking to be a young man about the same age as Qin Xun, the cyan longbow was carved with the pattern of an auspicious dragon, and a black gem was inlaid at the dragon's eye.
"The spirit archer after the transfer, no wonder the attack power of the arrow is so strong." Qin Xun said as he pulled Yui and stepped back, in order to deal with the next attack, Qin Xun could only temporarily distance himself from the young man. Yui was also aware of Qin Xun's nervousness, because this feeling was different from how Qin Xun had faced other enemies in the past two days.
"Is he strong?" Yui asked cautiously, "Looks like I met a difficult guy." Qin Xun said with a wry smile.
"Then I say, don't be so nervous, okay, I'm just trying to find my prey, but you guys don't seem to be bad either." The young man said as he walked towards Qin Xun and Yui.
"And what if your prey is killed by us?" Qin Xun looked at the young man tentatively.
"A good hunter will not share his prey with other hunters, if you kill them, there is no way to do it, after all, they have already been hung up with a bounty order, then then you are adventurers, then next..."
"It's surprisingly fast, it's really infuriating to treat me as a prey." Qin Xun looked at the young man in front of him and said disdainfully.
"Cut, self-righteous prey will die faster!" The young man dodged the sword qi to the right and then drew his bow and shot at Qin Xun with the bowstring full. [Martial Skill: Scattered Arrows] An arrow shot from the young man's bow turned into seven and flew towards Qin Xun from all directions.
It seems that if I want to force it, my katana may break, but if I don't take it, I will probably hurt Yui who is hiding. Qin Xun thought as he used the surrounding trees to block the flying arrows, but the number of flying arrows increased little by little.
"It's so troublesome, that's why I don't like to line up with ranged attackers, but ranged attackers generally have low physical defense." Although it was true, he still had to flee in the face of the arrows fired by the magic bow.
"What ability do you have now to say this, it's better to lie down obediently, you may suffer fewer injuries, die early and live early, hahahahaha" The young man said mockingly, and then shot out a few arrows in a row and forced Qin Xun to the side of a boulder.
"Cut, can't you escape? I had no choice but to gamble. This time, Qin Xun did not choose to run away, but held his katana across his chest to block several arrows attacking him, but the cracks of the katana are also increasing, and it seems that this knife will not last long.
Since it is said that level 16 Yui can use mid-level magic, it also means that there are offside skills in this world, so let me try it next.
Qin Xun used his katana to slash his left hand, and blood gradually flowed down the blade all over the blade.
"In the name of blood, I transformed into a knife to summon my sword-servant, and I served me as the Lord to save me from danger, and I named you Hongyuan!" Speaking of which, the katana that was originally wrapped in blood was shattered the moment it took another arrow, please!
What was surprising was that the broken katana was actually reassembled with the help of Qin Xun's blood, and gradually the blood and the fragments of the sword fused into a black and purple katana and reappeared in Qin Xun's hand, and within two clicks, all the remaining arrows were shattered by Qin Xun.
'Summoning the soul of the sword with blood as a contract, this is called the name of the sword ghost'
Qin Xun took this katana and stepped on the arrow that had been cut in two, and walked out of the smoke. "It's my turn next, are you ready, prey." The corners of Qin Xun's mouth rose slightly, with a bit of arrogance, and as soon as the words fell, Qin Xun raised his knife and rushed towards the young man just now, and the speed of the attack was faster than before.
With a loud bang, the young man fell into the tree next to him in the air, and Qin Xun also chased after him again, and the sound of the collision of the two weapons was faintly heard in the sky. "Yes, it seems that I underestimated you before, but it's still too far away." The young man stepped in the air, and Qin Xun looked at his katana and jumped upward
【Martial Skill: Piercing Arrow】
【Martial Arts: Draw the Sword and Slash】
Qin Xun and the young man's skills collided together, sending out a violent impact in the air that bounced the two of them away. Qin Xun used a nearby tree to alleviate the impact of the martial arts collision just now. The boy on the other side suddenly left as quickly as if he had received a call.
"Looks like the guy just now has fled." Qin Xun wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with his hand, "Big brother, Yui is here" Yui ran out of the woods on the side [Elementary Healing], Yui waved his staff and emitted a faint green light around Qin Xun.
It turned out that the feeling of being healed was like this, Qin Xun closed his eyes and felt the subtle changes in his body. "Now, it's so comfortable, it's like taking a hot bath." Qin Xun leaned against a big tree with a relaxed expression and said.
"Do you sense that something is not quite right with that teenager's behavior?" Yui said as she slowed down the healing magic.
"Well, indeed, in the process of fighting him in the sky just now, I noticed that although he was talking to me, he was crying involuntarily, and he didn't seem to feel it himself. It's like the person who is talking isn't himself, or is he unwilling to do it? Qin Xun replied thoughtfully.
"Well, I used the perceptual magic to find out that there was a magical energy in his body that didn't belong to him, and this energy was fighting for control of his body with his own magic circuit, and according to the state of his magic circuit, it was the energy that didn't belong to him that dominated."
"Isn't it magic that doesn't belong to you? That's still rare, is it mind control? ”
"I'm afraid so, because his state is not due to the fact that his own magic circuit has a special circuit after the transfer of classes, and the magic circuit is in a state where it fights for dominance with his own circuit."
"Is it a vampire? But then again, how do you know so much, perceiving magic or something, it's not like a level 16 mage can use it" Qin Xun looked at Yui and said, Yui didn't speak and just walked towards the front silently.
"There's a cave in front, let's spend the night in the cave tonight, in fact, it's actually you who are hiding from the other party, right" Yui revealed a tone and attitude that Qin Xun had never seen before.
"Now, don't talk about that big brother, Yui wants to make you something to eat, oh haha, today's theme is wild camping!" Yui dragged Qin Xun towards the cave, I don't know why every time he touched Yui, Qin Xun would have a familiar feeling, very similar to someone, but it was a vague existence in Qin Xun's memory, no matter how Qin Xun thought about it, he couldn't figure out what this familiar feeling was.
Perhaps, Yui still has a lot of things to hide from herself.....
