Chapter 352 Lurking, Hunting and Attacking

Reddy crouched in the weeds, covered in mud, half of his body sunk in the mire, silently watching the barking of dogs and footsteps not far away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I've been on the run for more than a month, haven't you? I've forgotten what day it is. The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter is just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, the pursuers who escaped into the swampy area of Egret Lake still refused to give up, not only transferred a lot of hunting dogs and hunters who were familiar with the environment, but also dispatched regular troops, which made Reddy more and more embarrassed and more and more difficult to escape, and even rested badly, often before they could rest for two hours, they were found by the tracking hounds, so they had to continue to flee with spirit......

Reddy now finally calmed down to reflect on his previous rashness and complacency, when the teacher affirmed that his swordsmanship had entered the room, Reddy began to be a little proud, especially when he participated in the knight tournament held by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun and won the swordsmanship championship, he was more confident and more careless, and no longer looked at the Golden Knight in his eyes, thinking that he was almost equivalent to the level of a first-class great swordsman.

Even if he was wanted and pursued by the Duchy of Handla and the Duchy of Sabaji, Reddy was still very confident that the first-level great swordsman was nothing remarkable. One is not afraid of oneself, no one can help himself without a few hundred moves, if it weren't for two great swordsmen to chase him, Reddy wouldn't care at all. Now that I think about it, Reddy feels that he is simply the frog at the bottom of the well as the teacher said, he doesn't know how big the sky is, and he thinks that the first-level great swordsman is nothing more than that, but when Reddy is very arrogant and confronts the fairy great swordsman, he finds that he can't take the other party's move at all. If it weren't for the big river behind him, maybe the head would have been taken by the Immortal Great Swordsman.

In front of Reddy's eyes, the scene of the great swordsman of Xiandi once again appearing when he drew his sword, floating like a frightening wave, the sword light was silent, like a light breeze. The cold stars are dotted, enveloping the entire field of vision, just like looking up at the stars in the sky at night on a summer night, without a trace of murderous aura, he can't even raise the idea of being alert, and when he hurriedly retreats to parry, Reddy only then found that he has been hit, and there have been three deep sword marks on his left arm, right leg and chest, but fortunately he is clever and Lima jumped and fled, otherwise it would be really difficult to say.

The hateful old woman, who has no affection at all, accompanied Princess Celivia to the Northlands on an envoy, and Reddy not only showed them the way but also made them tea. Knowing that he was Lorlist's great disciple, the great swordsman of Cindy showed no mercy, and when he saw him, he was ruthless, showing that he didn't care about the face of the Norton family and his scruples about Lorlist......

Poor Reddy began to recall everything he was hunted down, generally speaking, killing a few bosses of underground underworld forces and destroying several underworld communities, the lord of the location will not care much, even if those black bosses are the underground world that the lord pushes out to control the territory, then if he dies, he is dead, it's a big deal to change someone to be the boss, even if he orders a wanted hunt, it's just a show, the black boss was killed probably because he did too much, nothing more than revenge and vendetta, even if it is a relative of the nobles of the territory, the lord will not like to risk the loss of his knights to avenge a black boss。

If it wasn't for the killing of the black boss then something must have gone wrong, Reddy finally thought of the messenger who was disemboweled, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guy was a little familiar, and after thinking hard, he finally remembered that during the knight tournament, this guy seemed to be standing next to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and the Grand Duke introduced to Lorist that this was his brother's son, who was already three silver stars, and was the most promising descendant of the Fisabrun family to be promoted to the Golden Knight after Princess Celevia, but unfortunately he was defeated by the spear of Tiger Rose in the knight's horse duel, etc......

Reddy finally understood why the Great Swordsman of Cindy came to hunt him down, and this disaster was a bit big. Reddy smacked his mouth and thought to himself that he might not be able to travel anywhere else, and that if he could escape, it would be best to return to the Northland as soon as possible, and that it would be safest to stay with the teacher. However, the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the three sword wounds on his body that were injured by the Immortal Great Swordsman, so as not to reveal his whereabouts with bloodstains.

At that time, Reddy was very glad that he had learned from Lorist the cultivation techniques of the Oriental Warrior Monk, and Danhai was able to draw qi. This cultivation mode, which was completely different from the cultivation of Dou Qi, not only made his swordsmanship level rise greatly, but also relied on internal force to completely crush the Golden Knight. The most important thing is that cultivating the acupoints of the internal force meridians can temporarily close the wounds that you have suffered, so that you will not be tracked by the enemy because of bloodshed.

When jumping into the river made all the enemies think that they would dive to the other side, Reddy secretly stayed where he was, and secretly went ashore by taking advantage of the reason that it was dark under the lamp, and used the needle and thread he carried with him to suture the wound, and after taking the healing potion to bandage it, he turned around and went straight to the Egret Lake swamp, and when the enemy found out, when he turned around, Reddy had bought himself the most critical few days, not only widening the distance, but also allowing the wound to get a preliminary recovery.

It's just that there are too many enemies to pursue, and there is unconditional support from the villages and towns, and after only a few days of entering the swamp, the pursuing enemies come with hounds and hunters, and Reddy once again becomes an escaped rabbit. In addition, the army from nowhere blocked several high ground and key junctions in the swamps, making Reddy's escape extremely difficult.

Three half-human-tall hounds with shiny coats lowered their heads sniffing the ground and slowly approaching the weeds, next to the hounds were a dozen soldiers and two hunters in variegated leather suits, in the front were three soldiers with half-body shields, behind were four spearmen, and at the back were two crossbowmen and three longbowmen, all of them vigilant, ready to attack......

The three hounds reached a place about three meters away from the weeds, and after sniffing the ground for a long time, they raised their heads and barked at the green grass that stretched into the distance, and the two hunters walked forward and stopped the hounds, relaxed, turned to the dozen or so soldiers, and said: "You don't need to be nervous, you can take a break, I think the person you are looking for is finished......"

One of the leading soldiers raised his head: "What do you say?"

The hunter pointed to the meadow: "Our hound has noticed that the man's scent has stopped here, and it is very likely that the man has fled into this meadow." ”

"We were ordered to find his whereabouts, and since he had entered the meadow, we had to go in and search for him. Said the head soldier.

"Can't get in. The two hunters laughed: "Didn't you hear me just say that the person you are going to hunt down may be finished? Don't look at this meadow where the grass grows luxuriantly, in fact this is a bottomless abyss, and these grasses are floating on it, no matter who walks into it for less than ten meters, they will sink until they have no top, and die silently under the grass." We all thought that this meadow grew well because the flesh and blood of countless animals that sank below added nutrients to the grass, so we locals called this meadow the Magic Grass Swamp......"

"Do you mean that the man we are chasing may have fled into the meadow and sunk underneath?" the soldiers finally relaxed, no one could stay on guard for a long time, and the two hunters put down their shields and crossbows one after another, and then talked around the meadow, and several soldiers lined up along the meadow, took out the guys below and began to release water.

A stream of cloudy urine was sprayed less than half a foot away from Reddy's lurking, and a few drops of urine splashed on Reddy's face, but Reddy still didn't move, if he could make the pursuers think that he had fallen into this swamp, that would be the best result, and after the pursuers had withdrawn, Reddy would be able to leave the Egret Lake swamp calmly, whether it was to return to the Northland or continue to travel, it was better than being chased by a few great swordsmen.

Unfortunately, good intentions are always destroyed by the harsh reality, and things don't turn out the way Reddy imagined. I only heard the soldier at the head say, "Which of you would like to run back and inform a few great sword masters about our discovery......"

Another soldier said, "Captain, how do we report when we go back?

The old hunter next to him was puzzled and said, "Sir, why don't we go back and report together, and still run back and forth like this?

The soldier at the head sighed and replied angrily: "Do you think we don't want to go back? It's just that there is an order from above, we must see people in life and corpses in death." We're going to go back and report that the fugitive has fallen into this swamp and is finished, until the people above tell us to scoop away the mud from the swamp and find the man's body. So I can only report it, and just say that the clue is stopped here, and let the people above come to find it themselves. We didn't dare to say that the fugitive fell into the swamp even if we were killed......"

The older hunter scratched his face: "Isn't this nonsense......?

"There's a good chance that the people from above will burn the grass here, and then we'll take a long pole and fish it next to the swamp. Generally speaking, even if he sinks to the bottom, it should be around here, and there is no way he can escape to the center. The leading soldier said, looking at the grass.

Reddy took a deep breath and suddenly burst out of the mire and rushed into the crowd, the figures splashed blood on the mud in the flicker of the sword light, and in the blink of an eye, the eight soldiers had lost their lives.

A fierce barking sounded, and the three hounds pounced fiercely. Reddy's body turned suddenly, a sword split the head of a black hound, and then the long sword in his hand was inserted into the mouth of the second hound until it was not topped, abandoned the sword and rolled over, dodging the pounce of the last hound, and with a grab, a flying axe hanging from the waist of a dead soldier fell into his hand, and his backhand slashed at the back of the third hound, and the hound "plopped" and fell to the ground, with blood foaming in his mouth and whimpering, shaking his limbs and starting to struggle, trying to stand but unable to stand up......

There were four soldiers and two hunters left, and the soldier at the head was gathering three of his men with a shield and two spears facing Reddy, and the eyes of the four men showed panic and despair. As for the two hunters, after letting go of the three hounds, they turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye, they were already running more than ten meters away......

Reddy smiled lightly, and with a hook of his feet, a longbow and a pot of quivers on the ground were in his hands. The soldiers at the head of the group had their eyes tightened and shouted, "Everyone be careful......"

The figure squeezed behind the shield.

The sound of arrows sounded, three in a row, and two screams came from behind him. The leading soldier turned his head and saw the two hunters who had run far away lying on the ground, one with an arrow stuck in his body, and the other with two arrows stuck in his back if he had run a little farther. Only then did he realize that Reddy was going to take the longbow against not the four of them, but the two fleeing hunters.

The face of the soldier at the head turned red at once, and there was nothing more infuriating than the contempt of the enemy. He wanted to rush out and fight Reddy, but the two screams that seemed to be echoing in his ears suddenly calmed him down. It was clear that the enemy on the other side, covered in mud, wanted to keep their entire group behind......

Under the cover of the shield, the soldier at the head tore off a small bamboo tube tied around his waist and handed it to the back: "Whoever is at the back will light the fire and call the police, and the rest of us will defend with all our might, and we will survive until we are rescued......"

Reddy was pulling his sword from the mouth of the second hound, pulling the bow too quickly and too hard, and the wound in his chest seemed to be cracking open and aching. But this does not prevent him from cleaning up the four miscellaneous soldiers in front of him, and then collecting some loot, he has not eaten seriously for several days, the last time he ate a yellow-purple poisonous snake, or raw, the snake gall is very bitter, he was hungry, and accidentally broke the snake gall, and the snake meat was also bitter, and he swallowed it raw.

Now even the march dry food in front of him will be regarded as a delicacy by Reddy, and there is nothing else around him except a long sword until now, even the clothes are tattered, and the whole body is covered with mud is a last resort, because every night the large-flowered mosquitoes in the swamp are swarming, and a bite is a big bag, and if you don't smear the mud on your body, Reddy will have been sucked out of blood by mosquitoes a long time ago......

The remaining four soldiers in front were huddled together, the front was a shield, two spears on either side, and the one at the back didn't know what he was doing, but Reddy was sure he didn't have a crossbow in his hand, the two soldiers with crossbows were the first people he killed, and both crossbows were now thrown on the ground, maybe the soldier didn't have a weapon, the attack happened quickly, and it was normal to forget to take a weapon in a panic......

But with the sound of "bang", Reddy's face changed, this is the special wolf smoke messenger of the Fisabrun family's border rangers, a small bamboo tube will emit pitch-black smoke when it is lit, and it can be seen from miles away. In the vast prairie, this is a must-have item for the scouts of the border ranger regiment to transmit warning signals from a long distance, but I didn't expect these people who came to chase them to be equipped.

"Kill!" Reddy shouted angrily and rushed forward, swinging away the two spears that pierced from the left and right like poisonous snakes, the man had already stepped on the shield and jumped up, the sword light flashed in succession, and the two spearmen fell to the ground with blood spurting from their throats, turned over the shield and backhanded a sword, the shield hand discarded the shield and reached out to press the blade that penetrated his chest, trembling and slowly kneeling on the ground...... Reddy drew his sword, and the only thing left in front of him was the pale soldier with a smoky bamboo tube in his hand.

"Die. Reddy slashed the soldier to death with a sword, but the bamboo tube was still emitting black smoke even though it had been broken in two, and there were already bursts of barking dogs in the distance.

"Day!" Reddy scolded hatefully, quickly picked up two crossbows and a longbow from the ground, carried two quivers on his back, grabbed a spear, and ripped off the bags they carried with him from the corpses of the soldiers on the ground, hurriedly inspected and selected, wrapped a bag around his waist, looked up and looked around, and saw a figure flashing in the distance, chuckled Reddy turned around and rushed down the dirt slope, disappearing into the magic grass swamp......
