Chapter 14: The Ambusher
On a moonlit night, looking outside the northern city, in the depths of Shaoyang Mountain, the mountain wind blows, and the sound of agitation is like a sea tide. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And in the sound of the tide, there is also a wail.
Deep in the old forest, an old deer is dying.
Its head was already on the ground, its neck was too weak to lift, and only one of its front and back legs was struggling and bouncing, digging two holes in the thick layer of dead pine leaves under the tree, and the other two legs looked to be covered with blood.
Two neat incisions, respectively, severed the arteries and tendons in the deer's two legs, and after a long and futile attempt to get up and escape, it had lost its strength and its abdomen gradually ceased to rise.
Under the pine leaves, a foot away from the deer, faintly, a pair of eyes were exposed.
You Yun's eyes.
He had lurked here at noon yesterday, and after observing it for many days, he was sure that there would be very few deer passing by, and in addition, red jackals.
The red jackal is a combination of a tiger and a lion, as well as a fox and a wolf, they are powerful, ferocious, cunning, and easy to live in groups, such characteristics, so that their fierce reputation is no less than the demon beasts in the mountains, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most terrifying beast in the north, and the target of the clouds is it.
Eliminating the smell on his body, You Yun hid sideways in the withered pine leaves, one leg arched and stared at the tree trunk, one hand slightly open, the palm of the hand was not sweaty, and it was only two inches away from the knife in his waist.
Unlike Zhen Tao, his Qingluan Shadow Body Technique has a smaller breakthrough range, but it is faster and more powerful, and combined with the melee sword skills used by the Ghost Fox Army, it is extremely suitable for short-range attacks.
He was the hunter of the family and could also be the assassin of the four of them.
This time, what he wanted was to cut off the red jackal's head with a knife.
And that deer is the bait prepared for the red jackals, in order not to alarm the red jackals and attract the lone red jackals, You Yun can only choose this rather cruel way.
Under the face towel, You Yun's breathing was still steady and long, watching the deer struggle until now, he still maintained a calm look, and the murderous aura was restrained, although he realized that his chance to meet the red jackal was running out.
Red jackals don't eat dead things, they only like to do it themselves.
You Yun sighed secretly in his heart, it would be even more difficult to find an ambush spot like this next time, but it was a pity that the deer and the price they had already paid so much.
However, at the moment when he moved his hand and wanted to stand up, there was a sound of "sand" that reached You Yun's ears.
You Yun immediately stopped his movements, didn't move, closed his eyes, a sense of crisis rose in his mind, suppressed the impetuosity in his heart, and then You Yun slowly opened his eyes, looked ahead, and grabbed the handle of the knife little by little.
"It's finally here......"
The dying old deer seemed to smell something, and then shook violently and screamed with the last of his strength.
The next moment, a shadow suddenly appeared from the darkness in the forest, jumped onto the old deer's body, the teeth in the black shadow's mouth reflected the moonlight, and sank into the soft neck of the old deer, locking the old deer's last voice in his chest.
It was an adult red jackal, it stepped on the front legs of the old deer, its head shook violently, and the old deer's neck swayed left and right, and in just a few strokes, it completely tore open the old deer's trachea! Its face was mottled with deer blood, and its golden eyes revealed tyrannical ecstasy, and it raised its head, shook its fur pleasantly, and then opened its mouth to the sky.
At the same time, the clouds burst out from under the pine leaves! He drew his sword in the air, and his body immediately stretched out, almost flat, and rushed towards the red jackal, and then landed in front of its head, and the blade slashed at the red jackal's neck with the greatest force he could muster!
Fishy blood splattered out, and the red jackal, which was about to summon its companion, whimpered, slid to the side, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.
You Yun took a breath and stood up, relying on his years of feeling, he knew that the knife just now had cut through half of the red jackal's neck.
However, in the face of this creature, this knife may not be enough, You Yun stared at the red jackal for a while, and once again raised his spirit, the horizontal knife in front, and slowly walked forward.
At this time, I saw that the red jackal, which had not moved for a long time, turned over and rose!
Trick to death!
You Yun took a sharp breath, threw the knife on the ground, quickly set up the bow, drew the arrow and stepped back to wind it, and an arrow was issued!
There was another wail, and the red jackal fell again, but as soon as You Yun approached, it got up again and ran away, and You Yun saw that half of the arrow had been submerged in its neck, knowing that it was already at the end of the crossbow, and chased after it without saying a word. But even with such a serious injury, although the red jackal ran staggeringly, it was still fast.
Under the moonlight, two shadows, one red and one gray, walked through the mountains and forests very quickly, You Yun was annoyed in his heart, this red jackal was much more tenacious than the one he had hunted before, he flashed to the side of the red jackal several times, and the knife that he was determined to win would be dodged by it with a very fast change of direction, although the red jackal's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the speed became slower and slower, You Yun still had a trace of a bad feeling in his heart.
However, there was not much time left for him to hunt again, and besides, he would not allow his prey to escape!
Following the red jackal across a shallow ditch, You Yun flung his arms from the air, and the two short knives shot at the same time, locking the red jackal's left and right, and then, the moment he landed, he charged his strength, and the Qingluan Shadow Body Technique was launched again, enduring a trace of soreness between the muscles, You Yun appeared from behind the red jackal, and cut horizontally!
He had already seen through the movements of the red jackal, and he had also kept up with it and the speed, and this raid, which had been brewing for a long time, would perfectly abolish the two hind legs of the red jackal.
Knife empty!
You Yun was shocked, the red jackal could still speed up at this time!
There is a hillside ahead, and there is no chance......
You Yun knew in his heart that his speed could not be faster, and at the moment, he had to withdraw.
Thinking of this, You Yun immediately stopped and turned around, and then, a fishy wind rolled up!
You Yun lay down with his head back, and when he got up in a hurry, he only felt a heat on his eyebrows.
Blood flowed from a long gash on You Yun's forehead, and it was just a matter of time before his eyes were gouged out.
You Yun looked around, and then, he leaned down and clenched his hands.
Front, back, left and right, four red jackals.
Behind him, there was a roar that seemed to be joyful and playful, and You Yun turned around, and the red jackal that had fled before let out a strange laugh, it turned around, bit the arrow stuck in its neck, pulled it out, and then shook its head at You Yun, and spit the arrow to the ground.
You Yun's eyes narrowed, and he gritted his teeth fiercely, the arrow on the ground was broken!
"Did you bite it off yourself when you just pretended to fall? It turns out that you are also planning to ambush me, smart enough......"
Four red jackals surrounded them.
You Yun took a deep breath, sneered, hooked his hand at them, and slashed again.
"Come on!"
