Chapter 54: The Blue-Eyed Silver Fox
It's a depression.
In the middle is a small pool of quicksand, and the sand and soil mix together, giving birth to different vines and plants, and a large number of wild grasses. The weeds are knee-high, and under the grass is flowing water that can reach the instep of the feet, and the flowing water soaks into the quicksand, turning a large area of the surrounding land into a swamp-like terrain.
The dead branches and leaves fell into the water, and the long soaking made them rot, so the depression was filled with a pungent smell. Fifth, Tingyun waded cautiously and held his breath as much as possible, and although the air here had not yet been derived into toxic biogas, it was not far off.
The quicksand beneath his feet was slippery and soft, and he had to be very careful not to get stuck and unable to get up. He had been observing here for three days, and found that there was a blue-eyed fox in this depression, and that fox had been seven or eight years old, and that he was already an uncle among ordinary foxes. The fox stood up half a head taller than him, and when he first saw his back, he thought it was a hunter hunting.
Fox fur is a good thing, and many noble ladies like to wear fox fur and mink clothes. If you catch it, you might be able to sell it for a good price, and when she thought of the silver coin, the fifth hearing cloud made up her mind. What's more, although this fox is cunning, he knows at a glance that there is no enlightenment, and he is still somewhat sure of dealing with it.
But the world is unpredictable, good things are grinding, foxes are cunning is nature, and this depression is the base camp of people's foxes, so after three days, the fifth hearing cloud was stunned that he didn't even touch a fox's hair.
It's been three days since he came out of the academy, but he hasn't even achieved his first goal, which is a bit of a blow to his confidence. There is not much dry food left with him, and if he can't catch it today, he may have to consider a different target.
"It's coming. ”
The fifth Tingyun held his breath and hid behind a clump of vines. In the past three days, he has not made no progress, at least he has studied the fox's daily travel route to forage for food. No, he has set a trap on the fox's path, and now he is waiting to invite you into the urn, and then catch the turtle in the urn!
The sound of water sounded in the swamp.
A gray fox paced slowly in the water, sniffing left and right from time to time, as if the instinct of the beast had made it sense that something was wrong with the place, so it walked very slowly. Those two blue eyes shot a sly light, treacherous and cautious.
"What a blue-eyed silver fox! I will never sell this skin bag for less than six hundred copper coins!"
Through the gap between the vines, watching the fox cautiously approach, the fifth Tingyun held his breath, and his right hand slowly touched the sword behind him, clenching the hilt.
A little closer, a little closer......
When the fox finally reached the ideal location, the fifth Tingyun suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, flicked his wrist, and pulled a sword flower. The sword blade happened to cut off the four vines beside him, and suddenly he only heard a few "dong dong" sounds, as if a few big stones were falling on the ground.
The blue-eyed fox was so cunning that it had already turned around and ran back when it heard the first strange noise, but how could the fifth Tingyun and the blue-eyed fox not take into account this painstaking trap?
The outside of the four rattan nets is pressed with dozens of kilograms of boulders, even if a martial artist of the Nayuan Realm falls into this trap, don't think about leaving easily, don't forget that the fifth Tingyun is still eyeing inside, waiting for an opportunity.
"Hey, good boy, you're going to follow me. ”
Fifth, he heard Yun lifting the sword and posing a starting hand, which he learned in "Seven Styles of Leaving the Sword". In addition to the seven sentences on the last page, the pattern of the moves in front of him is still very clear, and he has practiced those sword moves countless times in the past three days, so that he can easily start with the sword style.
Speaking of which, he is also a swordsman now.
The blue-eyed fox bared its teeth, and its eyes shone blue. The fox does not eat human flesh, but it does not mean that it is willing to be bullied, and the current situation is no more obvious, and the blue-eyed silver fox will certainly not sit still. There is also consideration for this fifth Tingyun, otherwise how can he say that his trip into the mountains is not only a simple hunting, but also an experience?
Boom –
Don't look at the fox walking so slowly before, it is not slow to attack at this time. The fifth hearing cloud was just a blink of an eye, and the blue-eyed silver fox had already pounced on the front, if it was before, he would definitely not have collided with the claws of the beast, but now, there was a loud sound, and the sword suddenly slashed out.
He hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, this is the strength of the sword.
I saw a burst of sword flashes, and the speed of the Liren Sword was no slower than that of the blue-eyed silver fox. It's really hard to imagine that a novice who has only been touching the sword for three days can swing the sword so fast.
The blue-eyed silver fox roared, grabbed the ground with its hind legs, and stopped, it is not stupid, how can it shake the edge of the sword with its flesh and blood? But although it stopped, the fifth hearing cloud moved at the same time, only to see that when the power of his oblique sword was not exhausted, his wrist shook, and the sword power leaked out, he then stepped up, and the power of the oblique slash was led straight out by him, the old force added new power, and the speed of his sword was more than doubled at once.
Diagonal slashing, straight stabbing, side slashing, and upward picking...... the first twenty or so pages of "Seven Styles of Leaving the Sword" are all extremely simple sword moves, and they are not coherent with each other. Fifth, Tingyun's sword moves that had just been coherent were completely inevitable after he was familiar with more than sixty basic moves!
A scream!
The sword moves, while simple, are surprisingly useful.
Looking at the sword that came out directly through his chest, Fifth Tingyun didn't expect this blue-eyed silver fox to be so vulnerable. The fox's blood dripped down the shimmering blade to the ground, and the blue-eyed silver fox soon lost its breath.
This was his first time playing against the blue-eyed silver fox.
It was also the first time he had used a sword.
"Seven Styles of Leaving the Sword" seems to be stronger than he imagined, which is his most intuitive and real feeling.
Pulling out the detached sword, the fifth Tingyun peeled off a whole fox skin along the wound that penetrated his chest and back, folded it, washed off the blood stains on the sword body in the running water on the spot, and then cut the rattan net and returned the sword into the sheath. Hey, six hundred copper coins in hand! He picked up the fox fur and walked towards his makeshift thatched hut on the mountainside.
As for fox meat, he didn't like to eat it, he would rather go pick some wild fruits than get two fish in the stream over there? He thought as he walked, completely forgetting what he had promised Dai Qinglian before leaving the academy.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a noise in the bushes next to him. Carefully approaching the past, brushing aside the dense branches and leaves in front of him, ha, dinner has fallen, looking at the hare that is burrowing deep into the bushes, the fifth hearing cloud swallows saliva.
He tucked the neatly folded fox skin under his left armpit, then leaned down cautiously and approached. After three days of dealing with the fox, he can now control his breathing and footsteps very well, and it is already a piece of cake to hide the hearing of ordinary beasts and birds.
Seeing that he could pick up the fat rabbit with his hand, he was happy in his heart when suddenly a strange sound sounded in his ears. The voice was particularly high-pitched, and it was clear that the shooting was not slow.
Fifth Tingyun was not sure to catch it with his hand, so he had to turn around sharply and block it with the sword bag behind him.
I only heard the sound of a bell, and sure enough, it was an arrow!
He was about to shout "Who is shameless in plotting", but he heard someone clapping and laughing: "Shot, shot, shot, grandpa, I shot." ”
Listening to the voice, it was a young girl.
