Ye Yuchang clenched the handle of the knife and didn't dare to make any rash moves.

I just didn't dare to pant and watched the girl fiddle with the pebbles.

After staring at the girl for a while, the corners of Ye Yuchang's mouth twitched a few times unconsciously, and he moved his gaze to the deer that was calling.

This deer knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing, not to mention those distinctive appearance features, Ye Yuchang directly sensed the aura emanating from the deer, and gave him a hearty feeling like drinking nectar, and the nervous spirit was like a spring breeze, and he calmed down all of a sudden.

Obviously, I just looked at it with eyes full of vitality, but my body had a feeling of being nurtured.

Ye Yuchang doesn't like to read books on weekdays, so he doesn't know where it is sacred.

The deer is like a fish nailed to a cutting board, and can only tremble and wait for someone to take care of it.

The stone slab laid on the ground of the ancestral hall was its board, and Ye Yuchang caught a glimpse of the surrounding area of the deer as if it had been neatly drawn with a carving knife, like a grid on a chessboard, and the pebbles engraved with talismans fell one by one at the intersection of the checkerboard lines like chess pieces.

The formation that the girl wants to line up is not based on some kind of chess game?

Ye Yuchang thought as he swallowed dryly.

A series of footsteps from far and near, Ye Yuchang secretly said that it was not good, he ran too fast before, and the crew who were out of touch only now followed, they didn't know the situation here, so they rushed up, just afraid that the spear next to this strange girl, the captain of the Yun Pai, was about to turn his head and shout, asking the crew not to come.

But it was too late, and the two crew members had already reached the top step, shouting "Young master, wait for us!" and the like, showing their heads.

Exposed his figure to the girl's field of vision.

Ye Yuchang's ears sounded again, and the sound of sharp objects breaking through the air sounded again.

His instincts suppressed his fear, and he immediately drew his sword to protect the crew members who were stepping into the ancestral hall without knowing anything, and mobilized every inch of his body to catch the incoming spear, so that he could use the knife in his hand to knock it down.

However, whether it was an incoming spear or an element born out of thin air, the various actions that should have preemptively eliminated those who stepped into the "territory" did not happen.

Nothing, nothing, hair, life.

For Ye Yuchang, it is like this.

For girls, it's a different story.

She fell to the ground, one hand clutching the last spear at her feet, struggling to her feet.

Ye Yu stabilized his mind, panted, and looked at the girl intently.

He was blinded by the current situation, and for safety, he motioned for the crew to step back, and raised his knife himself to watch the girl's every move.

Ye Yuchang didn't dare to act rashly.

He speculated that the spear must have been carved by the craftsman, and since he had not seen the girl swing the spear and throw it before, the spear was probably a weapon that fired itself.

He guessed half right, the shaft of the spear did indeed have rune armor engraved on it.

But in fact, there is only a simple acceleration effect, and the reason why it was wrongly judged by Ye Yuchang to shoot out on its own was simply because the girl's previous movements were too fast.

Originally, the girl was suspicious, and the rash intrusion of the crew intensified this.

At that moment, she subconsciously turned on the psychological switch of killing all directions, but the moment she pulled out the gun, her body lost control and fell to the ground.

The right hand that was about to draw the gun and throw it was about to be thrown was holding the gun with his right hand, and his body fell on the stone floor.

It may be that the person is in pain after falling on the stone slab, and the girl is trembling all over, and the ends of her short hair are shaking in pain.

The girl's left hand also reached over and grabbed the barrel of the gun, and the whole process trembled like an insect ant after autumn.

After making sure that both hands were gripping the barrel of the gun, the girl propped herself on the ground with her spear and struggled to her feet.

In Ye Yuchang's opinion, it is no different from the old man's crutches.

This year's April weather is not warm, and people can see white gas when they are wheezing too much.

Because of this, although the girl covered it up well, Ye Yuchang could see that her breathing was faintly difficult.

A crew member quietly called out to Ye Yuchang: "Young shipowner......"

"What's wrong?"

Ye Yuchang looked at the crew member, he was very thin, it was the kid who climbed up to hang the whale oil lamp on the day of the fog, he remembered that his name was Tang Kecheng, only fourteen years old.

"The woman had short hair and was dressed in clothes suitable for running in the mountains. ”

"So what?"

Seeing that the captain didn't react, Tang Kecheng pinched his nose, which was as thin as him, and said: "Although the Jin Kingdom does not stipulate that women cannot cut their hair short, after all, there are not many, and this habit is more common to the She people, because it is suitable for walking through the mountains, and it is not easy to be caught by people or wild beasts when escaping." ”

As soon as he heard "She people", Ye Yuchang fell into thought.

The people living in the mountains in the western part of the Jin Kingdom were all called She people by the government, and the She people, as mountain people, were only beneficial to the people of the Jin Kingdom in two things-mountain goods trading and hunters.

There is nothing mysterious about the former, and this Orion is quite interesting.

Orion is a person who makes a living from hunting, but there is a second type of hunter in the world, who have been hired by wealthy families for a long time to hunt rare beasts in exchange for a relatively good reward.

Sometimes rare beasts survive that is, the white-fronted tiger and the like, and sometimes in history, these hunters have hunted such things as unicorns with their own skills.

Hunting for strange beasts is a matter of life and death, and those who survive will sum up a variety of skills, and some people will enshrine it as a family lesson, which will continue from generation to generation as the family industry is passed on.

"In other words, it's likely that we're meeting a hunter who is employed by a large family?"

"The little one thinks so, and besides, the deer...... As far as the little one knows, it's Yangchun. ”

When Ye Yuchang and Tang Kecheng were talking in a low voice, Ye Yuchang seemed to catch a glimpse of the girl's movements.

He hurriedly left Tang Kecheng behind and raised his knife again to respond.

The girl who was holding the spear took a step forward, Ye Yuchang took a step back, and his hand holding the knife did not show the slightest trembling.

The girl took a long breath, pulled out the spear, her body slowly and difficult into a throwing position, her throat suddenly felt astringent, she coughed dryly, spit out a mouthful of blood, stained the placket and the bluestone slab red, her hands were out of force, the spear fell to the ground and inserted in the gap of the bluestone slab, and the girl's body immediately fell forward, but she forced her prostrated hands to exert force, grabbed the barrel of the gun again, and barely stood still.

She said something sporadically in her mouth, but Ye Yuchang couldn't understand any of the syllables that the girl said.

There was another mournful cry from the deer's side, but it was like a gossamer.

It was as if the hunter and the prey were running out of the last drop of blood.

The pebbles that were laid out like a game of Go began to glow red, and the deer pinned by the spear twitched violently, as if it had been electrocuted.

A few emerald green rays of light slowly rose from the deer's belly along the shaft of the spear, and then, as if attracted by the pebbles on the ground, one by one flew like courting birds to the pebbles in the array, and were absorbed into the stones.

The red rune armor of the pebbles also faded.

As a hunter, the Sheren girl couldn't stop dripping blood from the corners of her mouth, and she tried her best to say something to Ye Yuchang that he didn't understand, and the girl coughed a few times when she said that she was excited, and more blood spilled out of her mouth.

Probably too much of the pain to bear, she slammed the barrel of the gun with one hand, wanting to share some of it with this behavior.

But no pain in the world can be shared by beating the barrel of a gun.

Ye Yuchang felt that it should be painful, but he didn't plan to do anything, and after the lesson of the ghost ship, he decided to try not to do anything when the situation was unclear.

"Young shipowner, I understand some of the words of the Sheren. ”

After listening to Tang Kecheng's words, Ye Yuchang's heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly said, "Then why don't you tell me about it?"

She said to the effect that their family was one of the many hunters entrusted by the Xu family, and the Xu family gave them news about Yangchun, and let hunters like them go after Yangchun and find an opportunity to extract its essence, and all the people employed by the Xu family had spent more than three years chasing Yangchun. ”

"The Xu family?oh—one of the six pillar national clans of the Jin Kingdom, the essence?what's the use?"

"Young ship owner, Yangchun is said to be a kind of deer that manages medical injuries and uprooting curses, and small guesses that the essence of Yangchun may be able to cure diseases that ordinary doctors can't handle, so those big people want it. ”

With this thing, it can save a lot of wounded people on board!

Ye Yuchang suddenly had a strong desire to want this thing.

"This woman said that she didn't plan to give it all to the Xu family, she wanted to keep some for herself to save her father, please don't stop us, otherwise she will burn with us. ”

"But the way she is......"

Ye Yuchang said coldly.

She said that if we snatch wantonly, we will remove the array stones around Yangchun, so that Yangchun's sorrow will not be just a wail, but will give us a result with Changxin Town outside. ”

Tang Kecheng's words made Ye Yuchang sober up instantly.

"I think if we can also share some of the essence of Yangchun Deer, the wounded on the ship will be saved, you can ask if you can let her share some of us. ”

Since you can't get a good result, let's talk about it.

Tang Kecheng nodded, and said something to the girl that Ye Yuchang didn't understand, only to see the girl calm down her disordered breathing and think thoughtfully for a while.

She looked at the stones beside Xiang Yangchun, counted the number, and said to Tang Kecheng, "Xikegong." ”

Tang Kecheng said softly to Ye Yuchang: "She is willing to give us the essence stored in the four stones, I thought, it should be enough, the essence of Yangchun is very useful, as long as the books I have read are not bluffing." ”

"Well, let's do it. ”

So, the captain led several of his crew members and Orion to decide the fate of the fallen Yangchun deer on their own.

The crew kept a distance from the Orion, sat down en masse and began to wait.

The girl, who couldn't stand forcibly all the time and pretended that she still had the strength to fight, also sat on the ground and began to wait.

There was a strange silence between the two sides.

The emerald green light was withdrawn more and more from Yang Chun's body, and the deer's eyes gradually dimmed, and the twitching of its body was no longer due to its own painful behavior.

Ten of the eggs glowed green, and each of them condensed into a malachite-like shell.

The Orion girl said a word in a low voice, this was not something she did on purpose, Ye Yuchang could hear it, her strength was only enough to say it so loudly.

"Ah Tang, what does she mean?"

Ye Yuchang asked Tang Kecheng.

"She said let's take the four that belonged to us first, but she only allowed me to go over and take them. ”

Ye Yuchang waved his hand and let Tang Kecheng pass.

Tang Kecheng got up with a friendly face and walked solemnly towards the girl.

The girl seemed to have a hard time breathing every time, and she stared at Tang Kecheng who was walking step by step, maintaining a certain degree of vigilance.

When Tang Kecheng walked only five steps away from the girl, the girl's brows tightened suddenly, and she quickly stood up in pain, raised the gun in her hand, and threw it.

Seeing this, Ye Yuchang and the crew shouted in their hearts, drew their knives and stood up, and rushed towards the Orion girl.

The three crossbow arrows tore through the air of the path and shot straight into Tang Kecheng's lower abdomen and chest, and Tang Kecheng fell to the ground with a muffled scream.

At the same time, the spear also pierced the air, except that it ran towards the place where the crossbow arrow had been fired—a pile of ruins in an ancestral hall, and the spear was aimed at a figure next to the ruins.

The figure raised his hand and shot out a crystal out of thin air, and the crystal and the spear collided in pairs, and each of them didn't know where it was bounced.
