344. Rise of the Tomb Raider Sophia
『【(( 1~
Sophia turned her head in surprise to find a strange man with his bow and arrow. His bow...... It's too rough, it's too big, the material looks like it's solid wood, and the bowstring is a very strong twisted wire.
The person who released the arrows was, of course, Nan Xiao.
Actually, it's a bow made to kill time when I'm bored on the boat, but I didn't expect it to be quite useful.
Boom! There was another bowstring sound, and the second arrow was gone.
Sophia was amazed: the man was shooting arrows too fast! In her eyes, there was almost an afterimage of his hand. Quickly wind the arrow, open the bow and scatter. She prides herself on her keen eyesight, but at that moment, she can't see the other person's movements clearly.
After three rings in a row, a scream sounded from the other side.
The terrifying arrows, each one the thickness of a thumb, were slender and sharp, made of hard alloy steel. Even the stainless steel breastplate armor that has reached its peak must be able to penetrate with one arrow.
Relatively speaking, cold jackets, Kevlar body armor and ceramic inserts are even more meaningless.
Three men with guns fell to the ground, and the pursuers were all wiped out.
Nan Xiao carried the giant bow and walked to the woman who was half-kneeling on the snow: "Hello, your name is Sophia, right?" ”
"You ......"
"When we first met, my name was Nan Xiao."
At this moment, the small bushes at the edge of the woods shook, and Laura came out. Sensing the movement, Sophia immediately stared at it vigilantly.
"Don't worry, she's Laura Crawford, my adventure buddy."
Sophia was still hesitating what to say, but Nan Xiao's words dispelled her suspicions. "Is that your buddy over there?" He pointed to the man who was unconscious in the snow, "He had a very bad gunshot wound, and he had to stop the bleeding quickly." ”
"Yes, please help me send him back to us."
Sophia hesitated for a moment before saying this. But Nan Xiao's friendly smile made her not vigilant. This must be a good person, she reassured herself that if it was a wicked person, she would never help me, well, it must be like this.
Nan Xiao unbuttoned the man's cold-proof jacket and checked the injury. "Internal bleeding," he shook his head, "you can't bring him back to your camp. Unless your camp isn't far from here. In my opinion, he can hold out for five more minutes at most. ”
"Bud can only hold out for another five minutes?" Sophia was anxious, "What can I do then?" ”
Nan Xiao took out the wound medicine gourd: "Look at me." ”
Sophia looked at the gourd in Nan Xiao's hand with distrust, and the expression on her face seemed to say, "What is this?" ”
"This is a miraculous life-saving potion from the East. As long as the person is not dead, any injury can be healed. ”
As he spoke, Nan Xiao put his finger into Bud's gunshot wound and stirred it vigorously.
"Whew!" The unconscious man was suddenly stimulated by severe pain and woke up.
Nan Xiao took out a paper cup like a trick and poured a little potion from the gourd: "Come on, drink this." ”
Sophia glared at Nan Xiao angrily: "You, why are you doing this?" ”
"Of course, it's to make him sober, how to drink medicine in a coma, right?"
Bard himself didn't have a big deal. He was now dazed, in a state of complete fiddling with him. Nan Xiao stroked his chin and poured him a cup of green and faint potion, and he didn't have any opinion.
"What a disgusting potion...... Sophia looked skeptical, "can this thing really heal?" ”
The gunshot wound in Bard's shoulder was scary. Hit by an AK rifle, a small hole in the back, a large hole in the front, the collarbones are broken, and the ribs are turned out. However, when he drank the potion in ignorance, a miracle happened.
The wound squirmed, like a man's mouth, squirming and poofing and spitting out a twisted warhead.
The speed of healing was incomparably fast. Where the flesh is blurred, sprouts grow wildly. These granulations hug each other and heal into healthy muscles in the blink of an eye. The bad flesh torn by the bullet fell off and withered, and was replaced by healthy pink tissue. The wound healed quickly, and within a few minutes, the whole process from scabbing to falling off was completed.
It was only then that Bard came to his senses. "Whew!" He jumped up like a bamboo rat with an arrow, and touched the place where he had just been shot in surprise, "You, who are you?" What did you give me a drink? ”
Nan Xiao looked at Sophia: "Can you help introduce me?" I think it would be easier for him to believe it if you say it. ”
“…… All right. ”
So they introduced each other again.
It turned out that the two men were indigenous people who had lived here for generations. They call themselves the "remnants", a lost group of people living in isolation in Siberia. According to oral history passed down from generation to generation, they were once subjects of the Byzantine Empire, and later followed the Prophet and migrated around and were hunted down by the Trinity. Eventually, they came to this place and lived in seclusion.
Fishing and hunting, salt drying, planting, grazing. They are self-sufficient in everything and never have contact with the outside world. For thousands of years, the habits of the Byzantine Empire were still maintained. If it weren't for the sudden intrusion of the Trinity, they would have lived peacefully like this.
"The Trinity men have taken my father!" Sophia said angrily.
The man who had been shot just now also added: "Sophia's father, Jacob, is the leader of our clan and guards the secrets of the Divine Source. The Holy Trinity captured him in order to obtain the Divine Source. If the Divine Source is allowed to fall into the hands of the Holy Trinity, then it will be ......" His anxious appearance was by no means pretended, and he was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly.
The man who was shot was Bard Barsa, and together with Sophia, he went to the Holy Trinity's residence to save Jacob. Unfortunately, they were found and had to flee all the way. If it weren't for Nan Xiao's horizontal support to come in, most of these two would have been completely destroyed.
"The Holy Trinity is also our enemy," said Laura, "and I will help you." Then she explained why she was here.
However, what she didn't expect was that Sophia's face gradually became ugly. "You are explorers from London, investigating the Sacred Source?" Sophia looked very unhappy.
Laura was keenly aware of this and explained, "Sophia, we have no intention of making enemies against you. ”
"I don't think so. You're also coveting the Divine Source, aren't you? Sophia grabbed her bow and arrows, "I advise you to get out of here." I really don't want to raise a bow and arrow against you. But for the sake of protecting the Divine Source, I will do so. ”
The other party suddenly turned her face, and Laura was a little at a loss: "I really have no intention of being an enemy of you, I hope to have a chance to prove it, please believe me......" Her words were so pale that even Nan Xiao felt unconvincing when she heard it.
When encountering indecisiveness, Nan Xiao thought to himself, it's time to exert his persuasive powers!
