Feng Chen covered the wound on his chest with one hand, and staggered all the way west in the forest, with the current physical strength of the young man, even if he ran with all his strength, it was only the level of his usual trot. U8 ?8XS'COM and the need to stop from time to time to hide his tracks, he could only travel less than four kilometers during the half-hour escape.

Even so, beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from the forehead and sideburns of the defecting hunter, and most of the sweat came from the pain. Knight Captain Raven's hunting skills are so good that he can aim so accurately on a constantly swaying airship. By the time the boy felt the killing intent coming from the airship, it was already too late, and if it hadn't been for Uncle Hard's full force, the piercing bomb would have shot towards his heart.

The bullet eventually penetrated the old hunter's body and the front and back layers of plate armor, and brutally smashed one of the defecting hunter's ribs before running out of kinetic energy and stopping in Dust's right chest. The wound of the crossbow is no better than an ordinary external injury, and the warhead remains in the body, so that every breath and every step the boy takes, he can hear the sound of it constantly rubbing against the flesh and blood. Wisps of pink blood foamed from the corners of the deserted hunter's mouth, a clear sign that the lobes of his lungs had been grazed by bullets. Breathing is restricted, and under the lack of breath, Feng Chen's thoughts become more and more sticky, and his feet are getting heavier and heavier step by step.

"I can't run anymore......" I don't know how long it took, the boy said to himself secretly, the remaining consciousness suppressed the ** of deep breathing, in order to prevent more damage to the lung lobes.

Although Feng Chen hastily made some arrangements when he was about to escape from the battle, it was still unclear how much of a misleading effect it could play, and the young man's mind along the way was sometimes blurred, and it was impossible to say how many traces he had left behind for the Knights. I knew that this was not the time to stop and rest, but the wound in my chest needed to be treated urgently, not to mention the cold sweat on the defector hunter's body, both physically and energetically held to the limit. Anyway, as long as it is still in this forest, it is not safe anywhere, and as soon as Feng Chen gritted his teeth, he simply stopped at the gentle slope ahead.

Next to the slope is a narrow cave, the entrance of which can only be entered by one person and a cat. A few clumps of ivy haphazardly obscured the entrance to the hole, which could only be regarded as the most basic covering. Feng Chen lifted the rattan curtain, and the short body burrowed into the hole, and a pungent smell of feces came to his face, and the young man's stomach spasmed, and he forcibly held back the disgusting taste, and tried to breathe a few times before he could get used to it.

This cave seems to be a nest prepared for itself by a small ground or ivory beast species, and there are obvious digging marks on the cave wall, and there are three or two sets of sharp paw prints at the entrance of the cave. The wounded hunter didn't have the energy to judge what kind of monster it was, and he didn't need to judge that the knights had used some means to drive the monsters and monsters out of the entire hunting ground. While not leaving a boost for the sealing dust, it also unexpectedly created an unusually safe hunting ground, and now the knights in this forest are the only enemies of the young man.

The strong stench was like a highly effective bottle of awakening potion, which restored the spirit of the dragon whisperer a lot. Feng Dust struggled to pull the vines at the entrance of the cave tighter, and the sudden darkness inside the cave seemed to give him an extra sense of security. The boy fumbled to unfasten the buckle on the side of his chest armor, and took off the plate armor on his chest with a frown. The hunting suit was drilled through the bullet with a small round hole, and the metal plate was blown inward into the shape of a trumpet, digging deep into the skin. At the back of the outer armor, the hunter's inner lining had turned a large shade of red, and the flesh inside was blurred.

The mandala flowers and leaves and dragon sprouts were picked casually when they fled, and without the supply of medicines, the dust had to take the original herbs for the time being. The hunter swallowed a few medicinal leaves, put the mandala in his mouth and chewed it heavily, and it didn't take long for his mouth and tongue and gums to be soaked with the medicinal juice, and there was a tingling sensation.

"Shhh...... Not! ”

With a roar like a beast's roar, within more than ten meters around the cave, several clumps of mountain birds jumped up from the treetops and flew away with a scream. Even though the skin near the gunshot wound was temporarily paralyzed by the mandala, the moment the tip of the skinning knife pierced the wound, Feng Chen still couldn't help but exhale in pain. The beads of sweat on the young man's forehead were connected, sliding down the edge of his face like a torrential rain, but the blade was firmly probing in his body, and he touched a hard foreign body.

Under the provocation of the tip of the knife, the warhead spat out from the wound with a "pop", and the dust turned his lips white, and the bones on his body were as if they were crispy, and he collapsed softly on the hay spread in the hole. The flare next to him was still hissing and shining, which was used to burn the knife, and the boy held his heavy eyelids, and then raised his courage to grab the tail end of the flare. After the second injury, blood gushed from the wound in his right chest, and he snorted and brought the silver flame up without hesitation.

I don't know how long it took for the boy to wake up leisurely, as if he had been fished out of water, and a thirst in his throat. The cool breeze that blew into the cave made the defector shudder, and he hurriedly lifted the rattan curtain that covered the entrance of the cave, and noticed that the sunlight cast between the leaves of the forest did not deflect far, and he probably fell asleep for less than ten minutes before he relaxed again.

The lungs burned and ached with the breath, the damage to the internal organs did not heal in a moment, and the burning pain in Feng Chen's stomach was like swallowing a piece of caustic soda, which was a sign that the medicinal power of dragon sprout grass was slowly transforming. The bloody warhead lay quietly in a corner of the cave, the hunter's wound had been temporarily closed by the scalded scar, and the most dangerous moment had finally passed. Recalling the moment just now, Feng Chen's heart was afraid for a while, the injury was urgent, and he didn't set any alarm at the entrance of the cave, so he fell asleep defenselessly, but fortunately, he was lucky, and the sound of the escape seemed to have worked.

"The Knights haven't touched it." The boy comforted himself.

It seemed that the luck of sealing the dust had finally reached its limit at this moment, and the thought of defecting to the hunter fell, and the rustle of the blades of grass being removed in the distance sounded in his ears. The young hunter's heart tightened, and he subconsciously clenched the one-handed sword at his waist. The footsteps came and went, and the search seemed to be a full team of hunters, and the captain shouted one after another, urging the team not to let go of any corner.

"Damn it......" The defection hunter put the dragon cavity away, and at the cost of a dizziness in his brain, he barely managed to identify the location of the four people. The knights were less than two hundred meters away from the hiding place of the defecting hunters, as if they had sensed the trajectory of the sealed dust, and slowly but surely explored towards the dark hole.

In the current state of the boy, there is only one way to die in the head-on confrontation with the knights, and he also has several tricks like antidotes and flashbangs, which can barely hold the other party for a moment, but if you want to escape quickly, you still have to rely on the power of the flying man in the end. Feng Dust didn't pity the few explosives left, but he wasn't sure if the scarred body would be able to support the powerful thrust of the hunting gear.

"I can only fight" Feeling the slow recovery of physical strength, the dragon whisperer felt a little more confidence in his heart. He fastened his hunting suit in twos and threes, stuffed the herbs into his waist bag, and the blood-stained thatch on the ground was enveloped, crumpled into a ball, and thrown into the depths of the black cavern. Even if you can't hide your deeds, at least you have to hide the real injury, the more critical it is, the more clear the teaching of the nameless predecessor that night becomes.

After doing all this, he sealed the dust and adjusted the trapeze mechanism around him, lifted the rattan curtain slightly, and curled up like a cheetah ready to go, waiting for the knights to gradually approach.

After a while, the footsteps from far and near suddenly stopped, and the young man listened intently, and the knights seemed to stop less than a hundred meters from the entrance of the cave. After a while, a rough voice asked something in a deep voice: "Old man, have you seen a little ghost, about this tall, with a wound on his body, running over from here?" ”

"How can there be civilians? When did it come? Feng Chen's heart was shocked, his dragon cavity had just swept through the surroundings, and he didn't see any other guys except for the four knights. But in a minute's work, there was a person in the forest, and the young man had the heart to launch the dragon cavity again, but his head was dizzy, so he could only stop there. He tried to get his eyes out of the curtain, but held back.

In a short time, an old and slightly dull voice sounded from the other side of the gentle slope, and the old man, as if he had not heard the knights' questions, asked, "How many of you, are you union hunters?" ”

"We're union knights, we're capturing fugitives, have you seen anyone escaping from here?" The knight amplified the volume again and repeated impatiently.

"You're union hunters...... "The old man got the answer on his own, "I just saw monsters going to the village to the south, and there are many, many monsters, go and kill them!" ”

"Old fellow, we're not hunters!" It seemed that he was tired of the old man's slow way of speaking, and the captain said angrily with three points of anger, "Now it's the knights who are catching fugitives, if you see it, point it out to us, there is a reward from the union, if you don't see it, hide in other places as soon as possible, don't hinder us from performing our official duties!" ”

"It turns out that a knight and a hunter are not the same thing" The old man's voice sounded weak and fluctuating at first glance, but together with the knight's voice, word for word came into the ears of Feng Chen, who was dozens of meters away. The hidden young man heard the anger of the squad leader, but the old man was suddenly unaware, and still said slowly: "When people are old, their heads are useless." I seem to remember, the young man you are talking about, is there a wound here, wearing a blue dress, and wearing strange objects everywhere? ”

"That's right!"

"That's him, where did that guy go?"

There were joyful voices in the team, but Feng Chen's heart suddenly cooled in the cave. After seeing where the injury pointed out by the old man was, the last two teenagers alone were able to determine that he was talking about himself. The old man saw his own hiding, and seemed to see it clearly. The Dragonwhisperer closed his eyes tightly, recalling the situation before he hid in the beast cave, but he couldn't remember a civilian old man watching from the side.

The vigilance of a hunter is not the same as that of a civilian, even if he is on the verge of being seriously injured, he will not lose a big living person, could it be that the old man outside is also a hunter, deliberately hiding and stalking himself? Feng Chen shook his head and dispelled this thought. Hearing the old man's conversation, it is clear that he is just an ordinary person, and the most important thing now is that the old man seems to have seen the embarrassed defecting hunter from the beginning, maybe even the hiding place at this moment is exposed to his gaze, and the next moment he will be called out. There was only a charge away from the four knights, and Feng Chen's body tensed up again, and he secretly said that he was unlucky, while praying that after the battle, the old man would not be affected.

"This ...... I want to think about it...... Go over there! The old man pondered for a moment, and said in a firm voice, "That's right, the old man won't be mistaken!" ”

The boy in the shadows held his breath for a moment, until his lungs burned again, and then slowly let go of his breath. The expected battle did not come, but the footsteps of the knights and the sound of pushing through the grass became farther and farther away, and disappeared at the end of the forest wind in the surprise of the dust and countless questions.

"What's going on?" Feng Chen opened the rattan curtain a little more, and boldly stuck his head out of the hole, looking in the direction of the sound just now. The sunlight casts slanting pillars of light through the gaps in the leaves, the artemisia grass on the ground swayes, and the forest is empty, and there is no shadow of a human being. Feng Chen's eyes blinked vigorously, and when he opened it again, the scene in front of him did not change in the slightest, everything just now was like an auditory hallucination, and it seemed that the union knight and the mysterious old man had never existed.

Without waiting for Feng Chen to blame everything on his injuries, a human head suddenly protruded from the side of the beast's den, and his eyes looked straight into the cave. His skin was a strange crimson, his ears were ridged to the sides, his old folded scalp was covered with only a small tuft of gray hair, and his eyebrows and beard were unspeakably white.

The four eyes suddenly met each other, and Feng Chen immediately maintained an attack posture and froze in place. The old man's eyes were very small, and the young man looked at him for a long time before he saw the thick white eyebrows and the pupils that kept turning under the layers of eyelids.

The shadow of humanity. Feng Chen's eyes blinked vigorously, and when he opened it again, the scene in front of him did not change in the slightest, everything just now was like an auditory hallucination, and it seemed that the union knight and the mysterious old man had never existed.
