Chapter 4: The Toothed Sparrow
"Look at the girl's outfit doesn't look like my scarlet person, right?" The man spun out from behind the tree, the scabbard in his hand tapping lightly against the ground. A pair of eyes were fixed on the tooth finch, and it didn't turn. "If I'm not mistaken, this cloth on the girl's body should be made of coarse green linen, right? This thing is only available to the Moon Spirit clan outside the gate of Baizi Mountain. ”
"Pretty thief? Where do you see where this knife came from? The fang's body slowly turned sideways, as if it was about to turn back. Flew and pounced. As fast as a streamer, the round blade in his hand went straight to the man's chest.
This pounce was completely unexpected by the man. The knife in his hand didn't have time to get out of its sheath. The backhand is blocked in front of the chest. The scabbard touched the rounded edge and broke in two in an instant. Half was still hanging from the knife, and the other half had fallen to the ground. The man dodged several times in a row, and finally drew his knife through the dense tree trunks around him. Just by looking at the flowing brilliance of the blade, you can see that it is a good knife.
As soon as the knife was drawn, the man turned to attack. The speed at which he swung his sword was no slower than the frequency of the Tooth Sparrow's current attacks. The flowing blade of the tooth finch had just struck him. His knife had almost blocked the Tooth Sparrow's path. This also made the attacks of the two seem to be fast, but there were few collisions.
"Girl, you see that if we continue to fight like this, there will be no result. Why don't we shake hands and make peace? The tooth finch did not reply, and there was a fierce attack, and the man who was distracted immediately had the strength to fight back. Come out! The man shouted. Immediately, two men with longbows appeared out of the bushes. The tooth finch made a false move, and reflexively took two steps back. Let yourself stand in the middle of a few trees. Be careful to pay attention to your surroundings. This made her a little unaccustomed.
In normal battles, these things are all Amdor's worries. All she needed to do was carry out the attack plan that everyone had agreed upon in the place chosen by Amdor. In terms of prudence, she is not even as good as Yamimi. "Girl, can we talk about it now?" The man's knife was tucked away at his side, calmly looking ahead. The tooth finch did not let his guard down at all because of the man's actions. After all, she had fought so many times by Andor's side, and she had almost seen what kind of attack techniques.
"You don't have to be so nervous, I don't want to hurt you. Put away your bows. The man waved his hand and told the two next to him to retract their bows and step back. What do you think? I'm sincere! Actually, if you don't say it, I can probably guess a few points. ”
"If I guess right, the girl nods, how about it? I said earlier that the clothes on the girl's body were made of coarse green linen, and this cloth was unique to the Moon Spirit Clan. I guessed the girl was from the Moon Spirit Clan. The girl told me, did I guess right? "Boring!" "It's a bit boring. Then I'll tell you something that isn't boring. The girl is a member of the Moon Spirit Clan, and she wears such rare clothes. That girl, you should be a member of the Moon Spirit Clan's royal city, right? Is my guess interesting? ”
"Nonsense!" Hearing this, the toothed finch immediately became vigilant. Today, I'm afraid this thing is not good. "Girl, lying is not a fun thing. I'm not talking nonsense, but the girl came here in the same car with a Scarlet Miss a few days ago? You're not going to talk about me talking nonsense, are you? ”
"So what?" The girl admits yes, and I'll go on. Has the girl done anything special along the way? "Say whatever you want! I don't have the time to make small talk with you here! "Human lives are at stake, how can it be idle talk?" "Don't understand what you're saying?" "Did the girl kill anyone on the way? Did the girl understand this? "What if you kill it!" "If the girl can admit it, it will not be in vain for all my efforts. So let's do the math, shall we? ”
"What is there to calculate! If they want to kill, I will kill them. If you want revenge, just come! "Wrong, wrong! How can I seek revenge on the girl? People can't be resurrected after death, and even if I kill the girl, they won't be able to come back to life, right? "Can you have something to say!" "Yes! Can the girl give me back what she took from them? "A few knives and bows have long been sold! If you want money, you have to delay it for a few days. "Haha, the girl is really good at laughing! You really don't know what I want? "I don't know." "Humph! Since the girl is unwilling to cooperate, I can only be offended. If you don't hand over the book today, you won't want to get out of this forest. ”
"Really? How sure are you that you will keep me? "You ......, you've already stepped into the path of soul casting, so why bother to leave that thing? Don't you know that it won't help your Moon Spirit Clan's path of casting spirits? The look in the man's eyes kept changing. He began to hesitate. Enlighteners and cultivators who have stepped on the path of soul casting can already be regarded as two completely different kinds of creatures.
They are not like people who have just enlightened, they are just sharper than ordinary people, with more strength and speed. And those who embark on the path of soul casting, they no longer need to be compared with ordinary people at all. Although they only specialize in one, the power given to them can already be used to ravage the Enlightener at will. Just thinking of the importance of the Beastskin Book to himself, the man's hand hesitated for a while and waved it down.
The grove had more than just two archers. A few of the trees where the tooth finch was hiding, though most of the arrows were blocked. But there were still a lot of arrows shooting at her. This reduces the range of movement of the toothed finch to a very small extent. The tooth sparrow was extremely focused, and this was the first battle she had faced since embarking on the path of spirit casting. The direction of her specialization has already been decided. When she was a child, she was partial to speed and liked everything that could make her move quickly.
From the beginning of learning to walk, her father made her the first three-wheeled wooden cart. At the age of six, he rode the earthwalker on the sacred mountain of Sheboa for the first time. So small, she doesn't look like those kids her age. Sitting on the back of the earthwalker, he clutched the reins in his hand in fear. She flickered her little eyes for a moment to observe the appearance of her father riding beside her. He began to shake the reins, trying to get the groundwalker running. Although her father realized it early, her first attempt to get the landwalker to run quickly failed. But on that journey, she managed to take advantage of her father's absence and rode around on the back of the earth-walker. This made an uncle who took care of her chase after her for a long time.
This one is out of control. At the age of 11, she completed her first whitewater rafting alone on the Cheu Bird River. At the age of twelve, she dared to hang something like a bird's wing behind her and jump down the valley of the Black Bird River. If this kind of behavior were to be known to Amdo, I am afraid that she would have given her a big hat of a female madman. Fortunately, after the age of twelve, she was no longer so crazy. In this year, she officially entered the sacred mountain of Sheboa and began the holy diving practice. Her physique grows stronger, and she finds that the stronger her body gets, the more she can't resist her love of speed. In the midst of the opposition of all the division commanders, she still chose the path of soul casting that specializes in speed.
She doesn't have a sensory cultivator, she doesn't have a spiritual awareness of all things dangerous, she can't detect danger early. Of all the things that were three feet away from her, she didn't have any special feelings like ordinary people. Although her physical strength is much better than that of ordinary people, she has chosen the path of specializing in speed. With the achievements of her spirit casting path, it is only enough to reach the level of the power of the Soul Enlightener.
In other words, this choice will make her strength no longer advance after the enlightenment. And the sharpness of her senses is even much weaker than when she was enlightened. Especially the observation of things in the distance. She was only powerful with a reaction within three feet of her body. The arrows came quickly, but the tooth finch didn't feel too much pressure. With this level of attack, she didn't know how many times she had practiced under Amdo's arrows. The arrows that followed her figure always shot only her shadow. After these guys moved themselves, I'm afraid they haven't been able to see the true position of their bodies.
"Listen to me!" The man who had already thrown away the half-cut scabbard of the knife had a gloomy face. These three arrow teams he selected are already the elite he can mobilize. However, in the face of high-level spiritual cultivators, so many people still had little power to fight back. "Perform a non-precision coverage attack, three teams attack in turn!" The sudden change of plan of the opposite archer made the situation of the toothed finch very bad. She immediately realized that the man across from her was not a leader who was causing trouble for her own people. Although such an attack Amdo had already told her about it. It is also a tactic to remind her to focus on prevention.
However, the reality that there are only three people in the 'three-meter team' at most. The drill of this kind of range attack is only above Amdo's words. Under the guidance of Amdo's immersion in picking up bargains is always the best tactic, their 'three-meter team' has never encountered a situation where the weak defeat the strong. They have always been weaker than weaker! Isn't that kid okay with that? At this time, the tooth finch is still thinking wildly! She struggled to gather her divergent thoughts, to think carefully about what Amdo had said, the verbal rehearsal plan for dealing with such an attack.
"Oh, density! Observe the attack density first! Finally remembered one, although I don't know the specific meaning of the word density, but under the explanation of Andorian with a stroke, the tooth finch still roughly understands the meaning of the word. Shook off a few arrows that were fired at his side. The tooth finch quickly understood the density of the arrows that were being fired. Thankfully, the man gave the order to cover the attack. Otherwise, it's really hard to judge! But Tooth Sparrow didn't want to think about it, she didn't need to think about it at all without the man's covering attack order.
"Such a low density?" The moment I got this data, I couldn't believe it. There are only five arrows in a square area? Is this pushing yourself into a hurry? The toothed finch was a little stunned. When did she care about an attack of this intensity after she was twelve years old? But the reality in front of her really told her that she was trapped by this level of attack. There must be something greasy! The tooth finch gritted her teeth slightly, she really wanted to grab the boy Andor now and let him make it clear!
An attack of this intensity had choked her feet. Most of her mind was spent dodging the arrows around her. The speed of movement has been much lower. "Speed?" Thinking of the word speed, the tooth sparrow immediately remembered a special sentence from Andor. Under an overlay attack, the speed must not be reduced. Even if you are desperately suffering a fatal injury, you must be fast. I don't know why I want to believe it, that kid just said a casual instruction. This is a tactic that has never been practiced before. She'd never even seen such a tactic anywhere else. But subconsciously, she has chosen to believe in this method.
She immediately chose to ignore the arrows that might have caused some minor injuries to herself. Between the shadows of the trees, she moved faster. The flickering figure brought tremendous pressure to the man opposite. The order to cover the attack has been given for a quarter of an hour. But the man in the rain of arrows only slowed down for a moment. Just when the man felt that he had dragged her down. Her speed suddenly increased! This left the man at a loss for a moment what to do. He couldn't guess if the woman was struggling in vain, or if she had already figured out how to break through. He didn't want to risk guessing, though.
"Second team, stacked attack!" The man's voice spoke with a sense of indifference. "Childe, this kind of attack, the people of the second team can't last long?" A man who had just emerged from the bushes arched his hand back to the man. "How long can you hold on, how long can you hold on!"
Feeling that the method is right, the speed of movement has increased a lot. Suddenly, without warning, there was an even more intensive attack. "They're hiding?" Look at the arrows that are almost twice as dense as the shots. The tooth sparrow immediately thought of this possibility. But you didn't feel any movement, did you? At this time, the flow circle in the tooth finch's hand was already waving fast. It's almost impossible to find the circles that keep turning around her. Where exactly does it start and where does it end.
"Childe, she's moving towards the jungle!" The man could also see that the tooth finch was constantly changing its direction. But the direction in which she was moving had been approaching the dense forest on the south side. "South Side Blocking Attack!" The man gave the third directive. Hearing this, the tooth sparrow showed an imperceptible smile in the shadow of the attacking arrows.
"Never let your opponent find out what you're trying to do!" This is the tactical code that is most consistent with Andor's thoughts. It's just the next sentence of Andor's words, and the tooth finch has never been able to agree. "Even if it's a stupid thing to do for it!" But the kid said that this sentence is the essence of this tactic.
This sentence, the tooth finch has never listened to the truth. She felt that this must be the kid, usually mixed with some ridicule after serious words. It's just that at that moment just now, the man on the opposite side issued a "South Side Blocking Attack!" After this order. The tooth sparrow realized in an instant. What that guy said wasn't teasing. The essence of this tactic is indeed in the latter sentence. The previous sentence, I'm afraid that people with a little tactical cultivation can understand its importance. But the latter sentence is the key to making the previous sentence come true.
The tooth finch was a little happy and a little lost. I'm glad that I finally really understood the true meaning of this sentence. It's disappointing that the kid didn't talk to himself about such an important thing. Realizing this, the tactical deception actions under the tooth finch are becoming more and more realistic.
The man was anxiously urging the archery team to increase their sniping, and they were already approaching the tooth sparrow in the dense forest on the south side. Most of the archers had emerged from behind the bushes where they were hiding, pressed tightly behind the fanged finch. Directly ahead was the dense woodland, less than twenty meters from where the Tooth Sparrow was hiding.
Everyone, I'm afraid that the man has already been sure that the tooth finch must have wanted to break through and escape from here. The tooth finch suddenly swooped down on a pile of rubble on the side. The two teams of archers who had already arrowed out of their bows were powerless at all. The only remaining group of men with arrows on their bows had turned their shots due south. The timing of the tooth finch is very good. After she's already in a mess. The archers who had turned their way shot a few arrows in a messy manner. But by chance, there was a stray arrow, when the tooth finch ran behind another rock. Hit her left arm.
Even though it's night, the lights are bright. Even in the small garden outside, the light from the house was reflected transparently.
The garden was full of people. But no one spoke. There was no one to sit, no one to squat, not even one to hold their arms. They all stood straight. The eyes were fixed on the straight ahead. The wind blew so hard that it tore their clothes around, and their hats were crooked. None of them did the whole thing. Still standing, eyes looking ahead.
"Miss!" Although the light in the room was brighter, no one in the room felt that it was bright. It seems that at this time, there is a competition to see who has a darker face? Who has to tighten their mouths? The front burn knelt in the middle of everyone. is sitting on the couch in front of the scarlet day.
"Only two people returned?" Scarlet Sun is the only woman in the room. On the contrary, he is the most indifferent of all. When asked, it was as light as water in a cup. "Yes, only two people returned, and three others are missing! As soon as they left the city, they were ambushed by the Miyawa guards. In order to avoid the ambush set up under the city gates, they marched into the mountains for several days. He was pursued by the museum guards, and during the escape, Amdo, Bu Taiwei, and Reka disappeared. After discussing with Tian Kan, Lianche took the rest of the people around the mountains for a few days. and returned in the direction of the city gate. During this period, they were attacked by unknown people, and only the two of them returned to the city. Qian Ran replied, his eyes already filled with tears.
"Where are they now?" Scarlet Sun Xiaoli frowned unconsciously. Today, she was invited to the banquet by Xi Zhiqian, but the main meal was not used yet. A servant from the mansion found the chief assistant and said that it was from the court, and hundreds of people gathered in front of the mansion. shouted to see the young lady, no matter how much they tried to persuade them, they didn't listen.
This made Scarlet Sun a little angry. Although she did not think that servants were lowly people, like the ladies of other families. But she still felt in her heart that there should be something else up and down. They dared to surround their house today, so why didn't they dare to tear down their house tomorrow? So when she walked in the door, she was a little angry. No matter what they said, she just listened lightly. It's not that she doesn't believe what they say, she just doesn't want them to think that she's such a good talker. Every day in this Scarlet Sun Castle, the trick of kicking the nose and the face is staged. Every day is also singing ungrateful jokes. These people, Scarlet Sun Xiaoli doesn't want to care too much.
What she is anxious about now is how to reorganize the new Xiaoli Guard! Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get on the banquet stage of Xi Zhiqian so easily. As for the fights and killings in the court, she didn't want to get too entangled. The grievances and grievances of the elders have long been a confused account that cannot be explained. Every descendant who took advantage of it took his ancestors for granted. And every descendant who has suffered a loss and is still alive thinks that he should avenge this sea of blood. So many things are entangled together, and it is not something that a person who has nothing to rely on can afford.
Scarlet Xiaoli felt that her understanding of herself was getting clearer and clearer. He is an abandoned pawn. In the chess game in the hands of that nobleman, the mission has been accomplished. As for what is left to do, it is up to you. And this matter in front of him, it is too bad for his reputation to let it go. There are too many things, not to mention whether the offended person can afford to resist himself. Even the nobleman in the palace who has given up on himself will not watch himself be so idle anymore. After all, these are the people he sees as a great trouble.
