Chapter 36: The Hunt (You read that right, the title is so short)
As soon as the three James brothers got out of the car, Su Wen immediately remembered Laetitia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She had always sat in the front row of the carriage, completely exposed to danger from the volley of crossbow arrows that had just fired at the carriage, but Su Wen had not heard the voice of Lyetitia among the screaming people in the carriage until this time, so she felt a little relieved.
Lying down, Su Wen tried not to expose himself to the position that could be seen from the outside, and quickly walked forward. However, the location of the large carriage at this time was a narrow valley, which was a good place to be ambushed, and there was almost no such blind spot for the crossbowmen who hid on the hillside, so Su Wen could only get under the seat, and even then, he would still briefly expose the target as he passed through the middle of the seat.
More than ten seconds had passed since the salvo of the bow and crossbow, but the sound of firing and breaking through the air had not disappeared, and while Su Wen was crawling, he heard the wolf howl of the three James brothers outside the carriage, which did not belong to humans, followed by the chaotic sound of slashing weapons colliding. At the same time, crossbowmen hidden on the hillside were still sweeping the carriages, and about every five seconds two or three crossbow arrows were fired to mend the wailing passengers rolling on their seats and on the ground.
Except for Suwen and Laetitia, there were only seven or eight passengers in the carriage. Therefore, by the time Su Wen struggled to the front of the carriage, the wails around him had become smaller and smaller, and the passengers who had been hit by the arrow had almost turned into hedgehogs and lost their lives one after another.
Su Wen ripped off the cloth on the seat, and a sharp crossbow arrow pierced the wooden board between his hands, so frightened that he quickly retracted. Until this point, he had not been able to find any trace of Laetitia, let alone hear her cry for help. A strong sense of foreboding gradually filled Su Wen's heart, and he began to wonder if something was against him, otherwise he would have been doomed as soon as he was about to leave Tridis, and he was almost suffocated to death by the tunnel before he left the city, and after escaping death, he didn't even arrive at the nearest Red Maple Town, so he encountered this life-threatening danger again.
"Laetitia!"
Su Wen lowered his voice and shouted softly, under the sniping of the crossbowmen, it was not a safe place in the carriage. There were open skylights on either side, and he couldn't think of any place to hide.
"Master, I'm here ......"
Su Wen soon heard a voice from the diagonal front, and the heart that mentioned his throat was immediately stuffed back.
Judging by the direction of the sound, that position was the luggage compartment close to the wheelhouse, which could be said to be the only place where the carriage compartment was not exposed, and it was indeed the best choice to be able to hide there in the first place of attack.
"Stay there and don't move. ”
Su Wen could hear the fear in Laetitia's slightly trembling voice, it was the first time she had encountered such a terrifying scene as an ordinary half-elf. And at this time, all Su Wen can do is to quickly meet her in the event that she may be sniped at any time, and then ensure that both of them survive the attack, as for the task that the system has issued to her? fuck the bullshit mission.
The fighting and screaming outside the carriage became louder and louder, and the wolf howls of the three James brothers did not decrease in the slightest, and Su Wen even felt that they had the upper hand. And it seemed that because of the loss of the target, there were no crossbow arrows in the carriage, but there were still bursts of breaking sound in the air, Su Wen knew that the three werewolves had successfully attracted the firepower, so he turned over and returned to the corridor in the center of the carriage, and rushed to the front of the carriage in two arrows.
Suvin shoveled through the car door with one sliding step, then rolled another and stopped at the feet of Laetitia, curled up in the luggage rack.
"It's not hurt, is it?"
He asked softly, his eyes unusually shining.
Laetitia shook her head, she bit her lip tightly, her face was pale, but her whole body was unharmed except for the tooth marks that Su Wen had bitten. Five centimeters behind her, two barbed silver crossbow arrows pierced the board of the carriage and nearly hit her.
"We have to get out, there are a lot of them, and we have to wait for death in the carriage. ”
Su Wen was completely relieved, but his face did not become relaxed.
Although the three James brothers were stronger than he expected, the attackers were clearly prepared. Judging from the fact that the innocent passengers in the entire carriage have become the targets of killing, and even do not hesitate to arrange special crossbowmen to snipe, they obviously have no intention of leaving any alive. And in case the three James brothers were killed, then Su Wen knew that the attackers would definitely come down to clear the field - this is very likely, Su Wen knew that they would not be high-level warriors, so he had to break out of the way, even if it was a great risk on the way, and he also had to take Lyitia, who was completely incapable of fighting.
And when he made such a decision, Su Wen secretly scolded damned.
If Donald hadn't transformed his kinetic pistol into a water gun, if he had the seven bullets in that pistol, he wouldn't have fallen into this overstretched situation, and now he doesn't even have a slingshot in his hand, and there is really no good way to cover the counterattack in the face of those crossbow archers hiding in the shadows.
Therefore, after a short trade-off, the intention to break out with Laetitia could only be ruled out in the end.
If it was Su Wen himself, he might be able to make a way out with his agile body and instinct for danger, but if he took Laetitia, who couldn't even run, the number of injuries or deaths between the two would skyrocket—he didn't dare to take this risk, even if he was confident that there was only a 30% chance of failure.
Then, there seems to be only one way in front of you......
Destroy all hostile creatures, which is part of a temporary mission.
Even if the cheat father's system didn't release this task to Su Wen, he could only choose this method in the end.
'I'm going to kill again......
Su Wen sat next to Laetitia against the wall, squinting his eyes to feel the danger around him, and suddenly felt that from the moment he stepped into the sewers of Place Saint Laurent, it was as if he had embarked on a path that he instinctively repulsed, but flesh and blood, heart and bone desperately desired. Su Wen pulled out a crossbow arrow set in his leather bag, broke the feathers, and then took out the white bone ring from his bosom and put it on his hand with great care, he felt that the process was very familiar—not the familiarity of the scene, but the calmness and numbness of what was about to happen when doing these things, familiar to the extent that he was afraid.
So, let's get started......
Su Wen reached out with the white bone ring and patted Laetitia's soft shoulder, trying to dispel the fear in her heart a little.
"I'll go out a little bit and I'll be back soon. ”
After speaking, a flat smile appeared on Su Wen's face.
In the midst of Laetitia's eyes wide in fear, he suddenly moved, and rushed like a rabbit towards the door of the car that had been pulled open by the wounded not long ago, and disappeared in an instant into the car filled with the smell of blood.
With his feet on the hard ground on the side of the road, Su Wen immediately rolled towards the towering hillside, dodging a whizzing crossbow arrow, which obviously predicted the direction of Su Wen's movement, and even under the latter's rapid rolling, it still grazed the corners of his clothes and plunged deep into the ground. Suven glanced at the direction of the arrow exposed in the soil as he rolled, remembering the general position of the crossbow archer, but that wasn't enough—he paused for a moment after the roll, and about five seconds later, flipped towards the bushes around him as the second bolt whizzed.
In Fang Cai's salvo, Su Wen had already calculated that the minimum interval between two crossbow arrows in the same direction was five seconds, and it really came in handy at this time.
Moreover, crossbow arrows are different from bullets, and the feathers of the arrows exposed to the air will faithfully reveal the position of the shooter, so through the guidance left by the two shots, Su Wen has been able to judge a more accurate direction. Locking in this direction, he saw the hint on the hillside - there was plenty of room for ambushes and bushes among the dense bushes, and in a very tricky overgrowth, he saw what he was looking for, a fixed crossbow with its head exposed.
"Whoosh-"
A third arrow was fired, but Su Wen dodged sideways without much effort. And the opponent was obviously a seasoned crossbowman, who had already understood that he had exposed his position in the case of three missed shots, and immediately began to transfer.
Su Wen felt a little pity, if he had a kinetic pistol in his hand at this time, considering the accuracy of that melee firearm, he was fifty percent sure that he would be able to shoot a crossbowman a hundred meters away. But since there was no such condition, Su Wen would not feel sorry, because his purpose had been achieved - with the help of a not so steep stone slope, Su Wen was extremely nimble to shake off all the hostile locks and disappear into the lush hillside to the left of the carriage.
Well, since it goes from being exposed to being latent, and having the coordinates of the target, it's so easy to do.
Su Wen had never penetrated deep into this dense forest, but as if he had returned to his very familiar home, he sprinted hand and foot in the direction of the 'battlefield': thick vines, solid roots, abrupt stones...... While making the most of whatever was available, Su Wen was extremely skillful in navigating through one obstacle after another, and the terrain was so complex that it was possible to slide down the slope if he was not careful, and it seemed to be no different from peace under his feet.
Approached......
Su Wen himself didn't realize how creepy the smile on his face at this time was.
At this time, his movements slowed down a little, but his steps became extremely light, and the breath of the whole person seemed to change from a fierce tiger and leopard to a light lynx. With the half-cut crossbow bolt in his hand, the distance between him and the crossbowman's position was getting closer and closer, and it was less than twenty meters away.
Suddenly......
Su Wen jumped into the air, climbing over the thin line tangled between the two trees, and at the same time saw the thorn traps laid on the tall branches with the help of his peripheral vision. If he had broken the tight thread just now, there would have been a thorny mass the size of a door flying towards him.
I didn't feel glad, because even if I went through it a hundred thousand times, Su Wen wouldn't trigger it.
Moreover, he had already smelled the breath of his prey, and the blood that was in a hurry to kill and gradually began to boil had already made Su Wen unable to produce any inconsequential emotions.
It's closer......
It's closer......
Through the dense foliage, Su Wen saw the crossbowman who had sniped him just now, and at this time, he had already moved to a distance of ten meters from the target location, and was facing away from him, aiming towards the chaotic situation in the valley in the distance. The crossbowman had a sturdy body and looked middle-aged, no wonder he had a wealth of experience, but he seemed to have trusted the thorny trap he had set up so much that he didn't even notice the danger behind him.
Su Wen observed that the crossbowman's surroundings were covered with yellowed dead leaves: this was the kind of vigilance that an experienced crossbowman would inevitably do, because even the softest cloth boots could not be approached by stepping on the dead leaves silently.
But who said he needed to get close from the ground?
It only took three seconds for Su Wen to accurately determine which of the trees around the crossbowman could bear his weight, and he got the best route. He quietly climbed up the trunk of the tree beside him, then climbed lightly on the road in the setting, and rose from the end of the trunk into the air and jumped onto the trunk of another tree;
Finally, looking down at the crossbow archers five meters below, Su Wen grinned, very cheerful.
After completely letting go of his mind and worries, he realized that what he was doing was simply the best thing in the world.
Look at the thick but fragile neck, look at the prey that thinks it is a hunter, and when it spurts irrepressible blood from its arteries, it is definitely a beautiful sight!
So, come ahead and enjoy.
Without hesitation, Su Wen jumped down from the tree, and plunged a sharp crossbow arrow with barbs into the center of his neck while his feet were on the shoulders of the crossbowman who was seriously aiming. The sound of the heavy object hitting the ground was not very loud, but it perfectly drowned out the sound of metal hitting the neck bone and piercing the throat, and the sound of the whole throat being shattered, so that it could not make a full scream, and could only "ho-ho" out of the atmosphere......
'It's a perfect combination. ’
Su Wen reached out and twisted the crossbowman's neck, causing him to lose his life in an instant, and thought at the same time.
