Chapter 1 Interception

In the season of flowers, that is, in June, the afternoon sun is particularly dazzling, and the sultry weather is like a steamer, and people can sweat profusely without moving.

With the arrival of summer, the abundant snow brought by the melting of the alpine ice and snow melt flows on the Hongshui River that runs through the Pansnake Gorge, making the first flood season of the Hongshui River this year to arrive, and the abundant river water brings vitality to both banks along the way.

In a gentle river bay, at the junction of forests and canyons, an ordinary town stands here, this small town in the middle of the mountains, for hundreds of years has brought a large number of mountain treasures and fur goods to the surrounding cities.

"Ades, this time it's a first-class dry product, you and Hunter have a fungus nest during this time, and the output has increased a lot. The Shanzhen buyer smiled and looked at Ades, who was a head taller than him, and asked casually.

Ades was a little excited about this mountain goods worth more than a hundred gold, and he calmed down suddenly: "That's such a good thing, this is caused by the increase in the vegetation of the forest by our forest lady last year, and it is the result of the joint efforts of several families in the village." ”

Ades muttered in his heart, no one should take anyone for a fool, even if there are these things, they can be told to you?

"And the rainy season is coming, and I guess the production will increase when the air is humid. Adès also showed a smile on his face: "This forest that stretches for hundreds of miles is just a ladies' sanctuary near our town, and the yield will increase."

Mr. Foss, you should send more men over and buy from the villages on the edge of the forest, and the profits will definitely be much higher than they are now. ”

Mr. Foss's smile was a little stiff, and Ades didn't care about him, and the well-informed people in the town were all over the place, this Mr. Foss hired someone to go into the mountain to receive the goods last month, and he was too greedy and wanted to save freight, but when the workers were carrying the goods out of the mountain, they were too tired and stepped on their feet and even brought the goods down the Hongshui River, and lost most of the goods, and he was so distressed that he didn't sleep for three days.

Originally, many people should have pitied him, but this man was too stingy and never liked by others, and this time he also fired the worker who carried the goods, fortunately he still had a little conscience, and did not make the worker lose money, otherwise the people in the town would definitely not sell him any more.

Ades hid his money bag and walked out of the door of the shop at the mountain goods purchase point with the rattan basket on his back, and walked towards the west exit of the town, where he had to go to Uncle Elam, who had made him twenty steel arrows, which were good things for hunting.

When I came to West Street, there was a planer mark at the door of Uncle Elan's shop, and before I reached the door, there was already a burst of woody fragrance: "Uncle Elan, I'm here to get something." Adès unceremoniously shouted loudly, he and Uncle Elan are old acquaintances, and they have made friends for the past year, and they have given Uncle Elan a lot of money

A good way to repair wooden furniture, one of the most effective is the copper yard, with this thing, the town has old furniture to repair all to find Elan to come to the door, after the repair of the interface position is as firm as new.

Uncle Elan didn't say anything polite to Adès, and shouted loudly in the workshop: "Just leave it by the door, you take it yourself, it's not too early, go back to the village early, I won't come out to see you." ”

"Hey, why don't you send me, you're busy, remember to dry the porcini mushrooms I brought in the morning, save them to eat, and I'll pick them for you next time when I go into the forest." ”

Uncle Elan's happy laughter came from the room: "Haha, you can't still treat the forest as yours, you can pick it, this can't deceive me Elan, even if this fungus is Hunter, it may not be able to touch it again and again, you, hurry up, I won't leave you to eat, otherwise I will grab food from me." ”

Uncle Elan and Ades are on good terms, ahem...... It is said that he was a neighbor who grew up with Ades's mother, and it is estimated that he is too familiar with everyone to feel it, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether Ades was born or not.

"Then I'm really leaving. "Ades put the arrow in the basket and went out.

He hadn't gone far before he felt someone staring at him, and Adès suddenly became alert, he had gold coins on him.

But when he secretly pretended to buy something on the street and looked back, there was nothing to be seen, and there were few people behind him, and they were all residents of the town whom he had met once or twice.

Is it because you are suspicious and suspicious?

Adès thought about it, no one in the town would be so bold to follow him, he knew that he was an apprentice who studied with Hunter, and Hunter was not an ordinary person.

Adès couldn't think of anyone who would attack him, so he continued to walk, probably because the person saw his face, and after a few more glances, he became suspicious.

But Adès still took his weapon, a hardwood iron-headed spear, and put the stainless steel arrow he had just taken from Uncle Elan into the leather quiver, put the short wooden bow in his hand, and went out of town and back to the village.

After walking along a two-meter road for a long time, almost twenty miles, Adès wiped his sweat, and his chestnut-colored forehead was soaked.

Looking back and forth, except for himself, there was no figure, and he couldn't help but mumble self-deprecatingly: "With more than 100 gold coins in your hand, you blindly think that someone is murdering, this is persecution paranoia." ”

After walking for about five miles, I came to a fork in the mountain mouth, and the cliff path along the Red River was the way back to the village, and the other was the main road to other towns.

After walking less than a mile, Adès really felt that something was wrong this time, and now it was close to four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the time when all kinds of birds in the woods came to the river to hunt, but there was a quiet section of the woods in front of him, neither the sound of insects, nor the figure of birds, there was definitely a situation in the woods, and after walking a few steps, Ades pretended to be urgent, hid on the side of the stone on the side of the road, and quickly tied the dagger that was originally placed in the rattan basket to his legs.

He walked slowly, but he didn't go to the quiet forest in front of him.

The people in the woods are in a hurry, there are two people on their side, even if the ambush fails, they are not afraid of Ades, but if Ades escapes, it will be troublesome, and it will be difficult to chase after him when he enters the forest Seeing that Ades was still rubbing, a man in black leather armor behind him said: "He is now us, go to the ......"

The man in front saw that Adès refused to approach, and waited for a long time before entering the range of the bow and arrow, and the bowstring that had been opened long ago was released and an arrow shot at Adès.

Ades sensitively heard the sound of the bowstring being released, and quickly flashed to the side, hiding behind the rocks protruding from the cliff, quickly put down the back basket, picked up the short wooden bow and listened to the sound ahead.

Ades is not in a hurry, if it is for money and murder, the people in the forest will always rush out, and now it is more patient.

If it was a vendetta, Ades was only fifteen years old, and he had not provoked anyone, and what vendetta could a young man in the mountains have, he must have met him in the town just now to take money and see that he was interested in it, but how did he run in front of him, and he knew that he was going that way.

Before he could think of it, he suddenly felt that someone was coming over the cliff above his right, and Adès thought to himself, who is it who doesn't talk about tactics at all.

If the enemy comes from his left, and his right hand is blocked by a stone, whether he shoots an arrow or uses a spear, but he comes from the upper right, which happens to be his forehand, then there is such a stupid robber.

Before Adès could decide whether to go out directly from the right to give him an arrow or to go out from the left, the man spoke: "Your name is Adez, we know you, you can't run." ”

Ades was shocked, he really knew himself, but knowing that he was Hunter's apprentice and dared to do it was not a good kind, Ades began to think about how to withdraw.

"Don't think that with Hunter's blessing we won't dare to kill you, and obediently hand over the money. ”

"Don't be lucky!"

Ades is a little confused, can't he really kill me for more than a hundred gold, right? Hunter is a professional, it's hard to say how to kill a hundred ordinary people, but ten or eight of them definitely didn't run, since he knows himself and dares to provoke Hunter, it will definitely not be his enemy, and Uncle Hunt is the fault of Uncle Hunt.

If this person was also a professional, he would have rushed over and killed me a long time ago, what are you still trying to persuade here......

A thousand thoughts instantly turned in Ades's mind, and he calmed down a little, thinking clearly, this person was definitely not sure to kill himself.

I saw him slowly squat down, pick up a fist-sized stone, and throw it into the left path.

"Huh" ...... The man shot an arrow, and Adès seized the opportunity to move forward, only to see that the man was standing on the edge of a big rock with a big grin, and the bow in his hand was facing the path.

The bowstring clanged, and the arrow instantly pierced the opponent's neck. I saw that the man's limbs twitched like a frog with his head cut off and his spine stabbed into a matchstick, this is the spinal cord was cut off, and his body was weak, and he fell to the ground with a snap, and his pants instantly appeared wet, huh...... The vagus nerve is also messed up, and I can't think of it.

Before Adès could be happy, out of the corner of his eye, there was another person on the edge of the forest in front of him, the bowstring in his hand had been released, and the arrow was shooting towards Adès......

This time, Ades didn't have time to retreat, threw the wooden bow in his hand at the arrow, whether he blocked it or not, and then stepped up to the cliff on the right with his right leg, took the wooden spear in his hand with his backhand, and jumped on the big rock next to the person who was shot to death, and saw the person who shot the arrow clearly.

Gray-black head and red eyes, with a hideous expression, wearing black leather armor, holding a bow and arrows in his hands, and two scimitars hanging from both sides of his waist.

Seeing that an arrow didn't hit Adès, he also threw his bow, grabbed the scimitar with his right hand and rushed up, a little despised Adès's appearance, thinking that one hand was enough to kill the thin boy in front of him.

Ades held the high point, and the wooden spear pierced the man's neck, and the man wanted to get the split wooden spear, but Adès saw his shoulder move, and immediately pulled the spear back and stabbed it again.

The man saw that he had no time to draw back his defense, but he saw that the scimitar in his right hand was pulled to the right, and the wooden spear of Ades, which was broken with the back of the knife, and the stone on the left side of the cliff with his left hand, was about to jump on the big stone that Adès was defending.

"You don't like my one hundred and fifty gold, do you?" Ades didn't dare to be careless, and deliberately spoke to distract the black armor man's attention, but his right hand kept going, reaching out and stabbing again, preventing the black armor man from finding a foothold safely.

The black-armored man had to swing his knife to block the spear, but his left hand did not dare to draw the knife, for fear that his feet would fall if he was unstable.

"You don't have a level four, do you?" said your animal companions?" ”

The black-armored man gritted his teeth and angrily squeezed out a sentence: "...... Ades" He felt very sad, he believed in the beast king Marat, but he was just resting in the town, and his friends said that this person was the apprentice of Merrikai's believers, a young apprentice who could become Makai's believers.

Makelly is the enemy of the Beastmaster, and in the same way, her followers are naturally the enemies of the priests, druids, and rangers who believe in the Beastmaster.

I thought I would kill him if I played with it, so that the gods I believed in would be happy, and if I was lucky, I could get the grace of God, but I thought I would be tortured and killed, but who knew that my little friend was careless for a while, so he missed the second, and his dual-wielding scimitar was suppressed so that he didn't have time to pull out another one.

Looking at the orderly attack and defense of the young man who was fighting, the iron spear could always pierce the place where he had to defend, and he could always predict the direction of his move, the black armor man felt that the world was about to collapse, this is a trainee professional?

Ades saw that the blood-red eyes of the black armor man were about to burst, and he stimulated more, "You can't beat me with a single knife, let's make a double knife." ”

It's good now, the black-armored man went berserk directly, and was despised by a trainee, and suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to the sky, and he was desperately stabbed to pull out his knife and kill Ades.

With a slam of his blade, he swung away Ades' iron-headed spear, and his left hand was about to pull out his scimitar and slash at Adès.

He was fast, Ades was faster than him, and he decisively threw away the iron spear in his right hand, and then took out the stainless steel dagger tied to the front from his trouser leg, and waved his hand suddenly.

It was the neck again, but this time it failed to cause a penetrating wound, piercing the Adam's apple of the black-armored man, and the blade of the knife slightly rubbed to the left to break the major artery, and the tip of the knife stuck in the cervical vertebrae.

At the same time as Ades swung his dagger, his body shrank to the right, and by the way, he picked up the iron-headed spear, gave way to the high point of the big rock, and stood on the rock of the cliff on guard, if the black armor man dodged this time, Adès would be in danger.

Lucky...... This stupid ranger and humanoid creature have very little combat experience, and even the opponent's medium-range weapons are not defensive, and I don't know if the warrior's darts, axes, daggers, short throwing guns, and paper markers can be touched out at any time for the other party to take a look, and when stimulated, he is bent on level suppression, and one injury is exchanged for one life, and it is estimated that the brain of the perennial hunting animal is rigid.

The black-armored man fell down a large rock with a smack, and his head slammed into the cliff rock, and he was dead.

Ades was not at ease, jumped off the cliff, stood beside the black-armored man with a spear, and saw that the black-armored man's eyes were still wide open, the whites of his eyes were full of bloodshots, and the red pupils slowly enlarged, showing bursts of disbelief and unwillingness with the hideousness on his face.

Adès looked at the eyes of the black-armored man, raised the iron spear with both hands and stabbed it down, and followed the center of the black-armored man's collarbone with a "poof" sound, completely piercing the neck of the black-armored man, and as soon as his hand was twisted, the black-armored man was just like the enemy in front of him, and his spinal cord was shattered, unless there was a legendary priest who was immediately performing the ninth-level divine resurrection technique, otherwise just wait to see Marat.

Turning back to the enemy's side, "Hmm...... It's a little dirty, and pee," he searched for the man's clothes with an iron spear, and his whole body was clear, there was nothing, just a wooden bow and a quiver.

It is estimated that he will not be so careful thinking that he will be killed and hide the money and belongings in advance, a poor ghost, Ades closed the case.

Back to the black armor man, at this time the person was completely out of breath, and he couldn't die anymore, Ades took advantage of the fact that the corpse was not hard, and took off his leather armor, which was a half-body cowhide armor, inlaid with a few unknown chitin insect shells, not worth much, it could be sold for ten or twenty gold, two ordinary steel scimitars, cowhide boots, cowhide hanging bags, cowhide quivers, all of which were big road goods.

After checking it carefully to make sure that there was nothing hidden on the body, Adès pulled the corpse to the side of the path, grabbed the corpse's legs, and threw it out with all his might, feeding the fish, and the corpse over there did the same.

After tidying up the path of the battle, Adès threw them all into the rattan basket, let go of his footsteps, and continued on his way.

As the sun sets, a fiery red sunset gradually emerges from the sky, and the silver moon that has already risen in the east is also dyed red.

Under the red glow, the snake canyon looks beautiful and unusual, and the red water river at the bottom of the valley and the red glow in the sky are even more colorful.

A small tributary in the upper reaches of the canyon meanders down the river only 5 or 6 meters wide, and the water is so clear that you can see at a glance that the bottom of the river is polished by the gurgling water, and the pebbles are rounded, black, white, yellow, and colorful.

Before dark, Adès returned to a small dilapidated village in the middle of the mountains, where only half of the dozen or so houses were occupied, some of them were in disrepair because no one lived in them, either the wood on the outer walls was rotten or the thatch on the roof had collapsed.

At this time, every family was cooking, the village road was empty, and even the puppies were lying at the kitchen door waiting for food...... Uncle Hunter, I'm back. ”

Squeak, in a familiar sound of the doorshaft turning, a short man with resolute eyes, a short beard on his cheeks, and a dark red head tied into a short ponytail opened the door, "Uncle......"

Seeing Ades' somewhat anxious expression, Hunter frowned: "Come in and talk about it." Hunter, as a fifth-level warrior and senior hunter, smelled the blood on Ades' body at once, looked outside the door, there was no surprise, turned his head and asked Ades:

"Are you hurt?" to the old man's child, his former neighbor, and his current apprentice, Hunter cares deeply about Adès, asking first about the body, and then about what is right.
