Chapter Seventy-One: The Full Moon Opens the Green Rainbow
After killing this centurion, Shi Zhiyi hurriedly chased outside the village, but the other five fleeing cavalrymen may have burst out of their full potential under the pressure of life and death, and in just a dozen breaths, they had already ridden a distance of more than 100 zhang, and it was five people who scattered and fled in different directions, which increased the difficulty of Shi Zhiyi's pursuit.
The moon in Shi Zhiyi's hand disappeared, but suddenly there was an extra Xuantie longbow and a pot of feather arrows, which were also the standard equipment of the Moon Swinging Dragon Rider. At the age of fourteen, he spent a year on the Moon Hidden Grassland, and the biggest gain for Shi Zhiyi, in addition to his survival skills in the wild, was that he practiced good riding and archery skills.
These two skills are easy to master, but for those who make a living on the steppe, whether they are herdsmen, horse bandits, merchants, or regular cavalrymen, if they want to make a fortune, or even simply want to survive, their attainments in riding and archery are extremely important.
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and five feathered arrows popped out of the bowstring like meteors, chasing each of them towards the five people who were fleeing in the distance.
This scattering technique is called Nine Stars Chasing the Moon, which was taught by Shi Zhiyi's direct boss Master Le Zheng when he was riding on the moon, and was dedicated to long-distance group attacks- After exceeding the range of twenty zhang, the lethality of the repeater decreases rapidly, and ordinary archery can only kill a single enemy, so thousands of years ago, a certain predecessor of the Moon Dragoon referred to the fusion of the demon race and some grassland alien races, and invented this kind of scattering technique of a string of several arrows, which gradually spread within the Moon Dragon Rider, and has now become a skill that every member of the Moon Dragoon must master.
It can be seen from the name that this nine-star chasing moon has been practiced to the highest level, and it can achieve one string and nine arrows, and the arrows are not missing, but for the current Shi Zhiyi, one string and five arrows are already his limit, even his captain Master Le Zheng can reach the level of one string and seven arrows. And Shi Zhiyi is generally rarely able to hit all five arrows, and there are often one or two that deviate from the target.
But when Shi Zhiyi saw his achievements this time, he still couldn't help but be stunned - not to mention that all five arrows were hit, even if he didn't even hit a single arrow! The five feathered arrows crossed their pursuit target and landed twenty feet in front of the five cavalrymen, who were startled at first, and then the horse's head turned slightly, but they fled faster.
Shi Zhiyi habitually shrunk his neck - because when he first entered the Moon Swinging Dragon Rider, he was young as a rookie, so his results were at the bottom of his team almost every time. Whenever he behaved badly, Master Lezheng would use his big hand with calluses on his joints to slap him the back of the head as punishment.
Over time, Shi Zhiyi has formed a conditioned reflex, and now although Master Lezheng is not around, this action is done unconsciously. He wondered in his heart, after leaving the Moon Riding Dragonrider, although his archery skills were not practiced regularly, it seemed that he should not regress to such a situation?
Since inexplicably absorbing the blood of the giant dragon Bai Chen's body, Shi Zhiyi found that his strength had been greatly improved, and the most intuitive manifestation was that the first two styles of the Eight Styles of Beiyuan, which were completely based on physical strength, Xiang Xiang Huan and Feng Yue Xian, seemed to have increased a lot in his hands.
Thinking that when he broke out of the dragon's belly, he punched out a hole the size of a pot lid, and the power of the punch just now, which turned the tall and thin sergeant into ashes along with his weapon, Shi Zhiyi once again confirmed the fact that his strength had increased inexplicably.
This increase in strength is not like the enhancement of physical functions caused by the ascension of the realm, such as the removal of the three realms of changing tendons, forging bones, and washing the marrow, but more like the increase in the energy contained in the flesh and blood in his own body, or rather, his own flesh and blood in the previous dragon belly adventure, some kind of abnormality that he did not know about.
Shi Zhiyi restrained his thoughts, silently calculated the deviation of the few arrows just now and the distance of the five cavalry in front of him, and bent his bow and arrows again. This time, his results were much better—two of the five arrows pierced the back of the enemy's head and killed him with one blow; another arrow pierced the enemy's shoulder blades, and the cavalryman in the middle of the arrow was lunged forward by the force of the feathered arrows and fell directly from his horse; and the other two arrows were deviated from the target due to the rider's skillful riding skills, and he adjusted his direction in time after discovering the incoming arrow.
By the time Shi Zhiyi wanted to bend his bow for the third time, the two uninjured cavalrymen had already disappeared from his sight, so he had to make up another arrow, completely killing the injured enemy who fell to the ground and was about to remount his horse, and then put away his bow and arrows and returned to the village.
The county lord of Ning is by an old wall, trying to cut bricks from the wall, and the deceased centurion just now has several of the same bricks next to him, depending on the situation, it should be that the county lord of Ning is preparing to bury the body of this guy, on the one hand, it is to enter the soil for safety, and on the other hand, to eliminate the traces of people fighting here.
Seeing Shi Zhiyi come back, a pair of bright and lovely eyes immediately greeted him, like a pool of crystal clear lake water. Shi Zhiyi understood the meaning in his eyes, stepped forward to take the brick in Yi Ning's hand, and put it next to the centurion.
"Two guys ran away" Shi Zhiyi scratched his head, a little dissatisfied with his record, "How are you resting?
When Lord Yi Ning heard the word "rest", he recalled the embarrassing scene of falling asleep in Shi Zhiyi's arms just now, two red clouds flew up his cheeks, and whispered: "I'm fine, don't worry! But this time, you can take me with you, don't leave me alone in that ring again." ”
Shi Zhiyi took out a halberd from the ring as a shovel, dug a big pit in the ground in a few clicks, pushed the centurion's body into it, buried it again, and smiled at Yi Ningran: "Let's go!"
Shi Zhiyi took out his mount from an abandoned courtyard and walked out of the village, while the county lord followed him in a hurry, if people who didn't know saw it, they couldn't guess that these were two young boys and girls who were on the run, but would mistake them for a couple who were about to go out shopping or go on a trip - if those two empty hands could hold each other, it would be more similar.
There were a total of seven cavalrymen encountered just now, and Shi Zhiyi killed two of them in the village, so there were two more ownerless horses outside the village, hanging their heads alone, looking for fresh grass on the ground. Shi Zhiyi handed the reins in his hand to Yi Ning, and he chose one of the two horses that looked slightly stronger, and the two turned over and continued to gallop towards the south.
