Chapter 21: Hidden Murder
Murong Xue's eyes widened as she looked at this unbelievable scene, she thought she was really going to die at that moment just now.
The sharp arrow almost pierced her heart, and there was a layer of green light on top of the arrow, which was obviously highly poisonous, even if it didn't stab her heart, it would definitely die.
But what shocked her even more was that at the last moment of this crisis, it would be Xu Nian who rescued her.
She looked at Xu Nian's resolute side face and couldn't figure out how Xu Nian did it.
This arrow came too suddenly, and the speed was so fast that even she didn't have time to react, but Xu Nian, who had been standing behind her, intercepted the sharp arrow one step ahead of her, and it was with her bare hands, which was impossible in her opinion.
The other three also noticed the situation here and looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
Xu Nian also seemed to feel that his behavior was a little exposed, and explained with a smile: "I ate a fruit before, which not only repaired my dantian, but also made my strength and reaction speed surpass that of ordinary nine-star warriors, plus I noticed this sharp arrow first, so I was able to block this arrow." ”
When the others heard this, they all nodded.
They had also heard that Xu Nian's dantian was abolished before, and then it was intact, and there would indeed be some rare fruits that could strengthen people's bodies.
However, this kind of fruit is only useful for low-level cultivators, and it doesn't have any effect on higher-level cultivators at all, so they don't have too much jealousy in their hearts, they just feel that Xu Nian is lucky.
"Xu Nian, thank you for saving me!" Murong Xue said to Xu Nian gratefully.
"It should be!" Xu Nian smiled indifferently, and then asked seriously: "How could someone secretly release arrows, we don't seem to have offended anyone." ”
This arrow just now was obviously secretly placed by someone, it can't be a demon beast, but there is no injustice and no revenge, why would someone attack them.
"It's supposed to be a hunter, but it's already gone. Lin Feng walked over and said.
"Hunters, that's not what they should attack demon beasts, how can they release arrows at us humans?" asked Xu Nian puzzled.
The hunter also knew that it was a profession that specialized in hunting demon beasts and seizing the crystal nucleus of demon beasts, and these people roamed the demon beast forest all year round, hunting demon beasts, and seizing the crystal nucleus of demon beasts in exchange for money.
But it was clear that the arrow just now was not deliberately missed, but deliberately aimed at them.
"Hmph, you are still too simple, these hunters can only earn one demon beast crystal nucleus by hunting a demon beast, but killing a human can not only get more demon beast crystal nuclei, but also other treasures, do you say he is more willing to kill or more willing to kill demon beasts?" Yu Feng said with a sneer.
Xu Nian frowned slightly, although Yu Feng's tone was unfriendly, but his words were correct.
The wealth obtained by killing a person is definitely above a demon beast, and these perennial people who lick blood on the knife edge will not care whether they are careless or not, for them, wealth is the first.
"Let's continue to hurry, everyone should be careful, in this demon beast forest, humans are more dangerous than demon beasts, and we must be mentally up. Lin Feng said.
Everyone nodded, and after such a fuss, everyone didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
Xu Nian looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, and he always felt that this matter was not so simple.
The hunters usually go in groups, and the man just shot an arrow from a distance, and then left as fast as he could, and it was clear that the man was tempting.
Judging from the level of aura attached to the poisonous arrow just now, that person should be a three-star level master in the Star Realm.
If it weren't for the fact that he secretly used the Gang Qi just now to break the aura on the poisonous arrow in an instant, it would be difficult for Lin Feng to intercept this arrow even if he made a move.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be in big trouble. Xu Nian glanced at the four people in front of him who were unaware, and shook his head helplessly.
A three-star shooter in the Star Realm, how could he not have an accomplice?
Now Xu Nian only hopes that these people are just passing by, and the real target is not them, otherwise they will have a huge catastrophe.
......
Just three miles away where Xu Nian followed Lin Feng and the others, three people were gathering at this moment.
All three of them were swarthy, dressed in power suits, with sharp eyes, and were obviously veterans of survival in this jungle.
"Big brother, I've already tried it, four men and one woman, I put an arrow on the woman, and the other three didn't react, but this time the target was found in time and blocked the arrow, otherwise the woman would have died under my arrow, but according to my observation, the target's cultivation is only at the level of a seven-star warrior, which can be easily solved. A man with a longbow behind his back chuckled.
"I said Gangzi, if you want to test others, why do you want to take a woman, that is the third-ranked best beauty in Qinglin Academy, you are tyrannical and ruined, you know!" Another donkey-looking guy scolded angrily.
When he heard that there was a superb beauty among the targets of this hunt, he had already thought about enjoying it, and now that he heard that his companion had almost killed the best beauty, how could he not be angry.
"Cut, iron donkey, you know the woman, I'm helping you, in this demon beast forest, you still think about the woman, sooner or later you will die on the woman's belly, wait for this time to complete the task, get the commission, what woman doesn't want?" the young man with the longbow snorted coldly.
"Then you don't know how superb the woman is this time, it's a product that can't be bought with any amount of money. The donkey-faced man said disdainfully.
Only the particularly tall inch-headed man in the middle fell silent and did not speak.
The two arguing men also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the eldest brother and stopped bickering.
One of them, Gangzi, turned his head to look at the inch-headed man and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" Didn't we already use that black wind leopard to test their strength just now, the highest talent three-star fighter, with our two three-star fighters, a four-star Chen realm body cultivation, it would be easy to kill them? What are you still worried about?"
The inch-headed man was silent for a moment and said: "I think our target this time is a little strange, you just said that he blocked your arrow, but how could a seven-star warrior block your arrow." ”
"Big brother, what did I think you were thinking, a seven-star warrior, no matter how high his strength is, how high can he be? It was a complete coincidence that he was able to block that arrow, plus I didn't use all my strength, if I used all my strength, I would definitely be able to pierce his heart with an arrow. Gangzi chuckled.
The inch-headed man nodded, he also felt that he was a little too worried.
A seven-star warrior, even if he has more combat power than his own strength, how can he be his opponent of a four-star body cultivator.
"Let's go meet them for a while. The inch-headed man made up his mind.
The man with the bow and the man with the donkey's face looked at each other and smiled, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
