Chapter 257: Alarm Bell

Two minutes later, Xu Qingyan led everyone out of the group of snakes.

After escaping, everyone was still apprehensive, and a hundred meters away, the place where they were standing just now was occupied by dense poisonous snakes at this time.

The colorful snake patterns are intertwined, glowing with the coldness of the forest, which makes people feel chills all over their bodies at a glance.

Everyone settled down and thanked Xu Qingyan.

"Thank you for what happened just now, county lord."

"Yes, if it weren't for the county lord, we would have died before the master died."

Even Feng Licheng, the grandson of the military department who had sneered at Xu Qingyan's timidity before, bowed his hand to Xu Qingyan with a slight face at this time.

"I said the wrong thing before, the county lord is really a heroine among women."

It's not, in the face of so many snakes, he still walks in front of the road without changing his face, this courage is rare for men.

Xu Qingyan shook her head and smiled: "The heroine of the female middle school doesn't dare to be a hero, in my opinion, let's get out of here first, be careful of the snakes and chase after them." “

When everyone heard this, they nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, hurry up, hurry up." ”

The scene just now came to mind again, everyone you push me, I push you, and they all want to leave this frightening place immediately.

Seeing the team move again, Xu Qingyan glanced back at the group of snakes behind her, her expression slightly condensed.

What happened just now is very unusual, snakes usually have fixed nests, and they will never gather together like this for no reason.

Is this a coincidence or a man-made?

If it was a coincidence, there must have been something that attracted the snakes from the place where they were standing.

If it is said that people are ...... Xu Qingyan's eyes were cold.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unlikely, it was as big as a mountain, even if the four countries intended to target Da Zhou, they would not do it now, and it was impossible for them to know their course of action in advance.

Then the biggest possibility is the former.

But even so, she didn't have the heart to go back and find some treasure!

Now there are snakes around, and although she has a spell, the disgust and fear of snakes in her heart are still there. And what is precious to a snake is not necessarily to her.

Retracting her gaze, Xu Qingyan turned around and followed the team.

Half an hour later, they found a source of water, a two-meter-wide stream with muddy footprints on the water-soaked mud on the shore.

Although it is messy but clearly visible, it must have been left not long ago, and it is difficult to see what kind of animal left the footprints.

Let's not talk about whether it is messy or not, even if it is not messy, Xu Qingyan also said that she can't understand it, and she is not a zoology major.

Mao Xinran observed the surroundings and quickly made a decision.

"There is a water source here, and there are footprints by the stream, and there must be animals here to drink, so we all split up in twos and find a place to hide, and rest while we wait."

When everyone heard this, they felt that it was very reasonable, and immediately scattered and hid in the nearby grass, while Xu Qingyan jumped on a tall tree on the side because of her light skills, and looked around condescendingly.

Because she occupies a high place and has a wide field of vision, Mao Xinran arranged a task for her to explore the wind.

Xu Qingyan happily agreed, leaning lazily on the trunk of the tree, and observing the surroundings with her eyes.

After a pillar of incense, there were two grass-yellow figures in the southeast direction, gradually running towards this side.

The two animals that came running were not very large, they looked like deer and not deer, with large eyes and ears, slender necks, and short tails.

After Xu Qingyan looked at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she looked like a stupid roe deer in rumored.

Seeing that it was not an aggressive beast, Xu Qingyan did not warn everyone, as for whether to fight these two roe deer or not, let them decide for themselves.

The sound of the roe deer running alarmed the people hiding in the grass, and when they heard the sound, they quickly raised their heads and looked towards the tall tree where Xu Qingyan was standing.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xu Qingyan winked at them, and when the people below saw it, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that it wasn't a beast that came.

As the sound of running got closer and closer, it didn't take long for two grass-yellow roe deer to run into everyone's sight.

The two roe deer ran to the stream, looked around vigilantly, and saw that there were no natural predators around, so they lowered their heads with confidence.

In the grass, all the sons and buddies were ready to knock down the two roe deer, because the roe deer is the same as the deer, and one is counted as three points.

The idea is good, the reality is cruel, and their bows and arrows have only been pulled out a little before they alarm the two roe deer who are bowing their heads and drinking.

When the roe deer heard the sound, its ears stood up, and its tail hair exploded to form a white circle, and then ran away screaming.

Xu Qingyan was on the tree, and she almost laughed out loud when she saw this scene.

Are these young masters stupid, just two roe deer, how can they use so many people together.

Originally, animals' sense of hearing and smell are more sensitive than humans, and the sound of these nineteen bows being pulled at the same time can not scare the roe deer away.

The people in the grass were dumbfounded, why couldn't they even catch two roe deer with no offensive power, and how could they fight other beasts.

Before I finished self-examination, I saw the two roe deer quietly running back again.

Everyone: "..........."

Are these two roe deer stupid, they were scared away, and they even dared to come back.

Xu Qingyan held back so that she didn't laugh out loud.

The name "Silly Roe Deer" really doesn't come for nothing, the reason why they are called silly roe deer is because they are naturally curious.

They were frightened by the sound of the bowstring just now, but after the fright, they wanted to run back and see what had scared them just now.

This kind of heartless idea, thinking about it, is really a strange cuteness.

As they walked, the two roe deer looked up and around, as if looking for something that had just scared them.

After half a ring, seeing that there was nothing abnormal around, he went to the stream again to drink.

Xu Qingyan retracted her gaze and looked at other places, it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, this time, she found that there was a leopard hidden in the bushes fifty meters away.

The leopard was lying on the ground at this moment, a pair of hemp leopard eyes staring closely at the two roe deer drinking by the stream, and then slowly stood up, took elegant steps, and carefully paced towards the stream.

Xu Qingyan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this, and just wanted to warn everyone, but immediately paused again.

As it stands, the leopard should be targeting the two roe deer drinking from the stream, as its eyes are glued there from head to tail.

And the people in the grass don't seem to have found it, but it may have found it, but it is not interested in humans.

At this time, warning is not the best way, in case the people below suddenly hear a leopard coming, the panic is too big, but it is easy to cause the leopard to attack.

Even if it doesn't hurt anyone, they didn't lose ten points in vain when they came out to scare the leopard away.

Leopards have always been known for their speed, and they are really scared away, and they can't catch up with the people below, except for her, of course.

But if you don't say it, what if the leopard suddenly changes its goal and shoots at people.

Xu Qingyan pondered for a moment, feeling that she still couldn't take risks, so she quietly raised the bow and arrow in her hand, and the arrow was aimed at the leopard who was quietly moving towards the stream.

As the leopard moved, the bow and arrow in Xu Qingyan's hand were also moving, and after the leopard moved ten meters forward, Xu Qingyan's fingers loosened violently, and the long arrow immediately broke through the air.

The leopard had just sensed that danger was approaching, but before it had time to dodge, it was pierced through the neck by an arrow shot by Xu Qingyan, and warm blood gushed out.

The leopard didn't let out a cry of pain before he fell.

This movement naturally alarmed everyone in the grass, and several people turned over one by one, and looked back in unison.

Seeing the leopard that fell to the ground, everyone's hearts trembled, and then they collectively set their eyes on the tree.

Xu Qingyan raised the bow and arrow in her hand, smiled at them, and flew down from the tree.

"County Lord, this ......"

"When I found this leopard just now, it was already very close to you, and I was afraid that after I made a warning, it would be startled to hurt people, so I hid in a tree and secretly released an arrow."

Hearing this, everyone nodded, looked at the leopard that fell to the ground, and was silent, but their hearts were struck by this leopard.

Mao Xinran was silent for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "The leopard is so close to us, we haven't been able to find out, in the final analysis, we are still not vigilant enough, if it weren't for the county lord's arrow this time, we would definitely fall into crisis again." ”

Everyone present felt uncomfortable at this time, Mao Shizi was right, they were indeed not vigilant enough.

The two crises were avoided by Xu Qingyan, and they were a group of big men, and their vigilance was not as good as that of a female baby.

Seeing that they were reflecting, Xu Qingyan nodded secretly.

People grow up from experience, these sons of families, to put it bluntly, are all flowers in the greenhouse, even Cao Hongyang, who was born in the General's Mansion, has never been to the battlefield and faced the war.

Their equestrian and riding skills are trained in a fixed and stable environment, so they have no real ability to talk about soldiers on paper, but they have no real combat ability.

The art of war that Mao Xinran learned was only learned from books, and he did not go through actual exercises.

This is the true reflection of the Great Zhou in terms of force, although the Great Zhou still has a military attache position, but the effectiveness of this military attache position has become weaker and weaker.

Most of them are just idle posts, and the children of military attaches like Cao Hongyang can only practice equestrian and archery skills in the horse farm, and they don't even have the opportunity to participate in battles and drills.

Xu Qingyan actually found out about their lack of experience early on, but she didn't choose to say it.

And then no matter what Mao Xinran said, whether what he said was right or not, she did it.

She thought, what does it matter if she fails, she will never lose her life, and the people present are all smart people, and if they experience some more setbacks, they will definitely learn something from them.

Moreover, this hunt in the forest is a good opportunity for them to understand the difference between what is said in the book and the real situation.

She was secretly thinking about it, when she heard Mao Xinran arch his hand at her: County Lord, there is a reluctant request below, and I hope you can agree. “

"Tell me what is going on first, shall we?" didn't know what Mao Xinran wanted to say, Xu Qingyan naturally didn't dare to agree.

Mao Xinran paused when he heard this, and then continued: "I want to ask the county lord to serve as the team leader. ”

Originally, he thought he was quite powerful, but after experiencing the snakes and the incident just now, he no longer had the confidence he had before.

It has only been two hours since the start of the game, and he has not predicted and resolved the two dangers in these two hours in advance, so he is not a qualified team leader.

He didn't want to cause the people around him to die in the mountains because of his wrong decision-making, and he would never go back.

Xu Qingyan was slightly surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that what Mao Xinran wanted to say was this, but she couldn't take the position of captain. 2k reading web
