Scroll of the Sword Chapter 46: The Shadow of the Ravine (2)
The neighing of the horses came to an abrupt end with the screams of the horses, and the cave was suddenly a little strangely quiet, and the two of them didn't even dare to breathe, and the ape shrank in the corner quite obediently. The deathly silence was like a boulder pressing on the hearts of the two of them, and the quiet atmosphere in the ravine became more and more eerie.
Suddenly, a spherical object was thrown from the entrance of the cave, and before Liu Qingxue could see what it was, the sphere had already smashed on the ground, emitting clouds of white smoke. Then several more orbs were dropped, and fell to the ground one after another, and soon the hole was covered with white smoke, and the only hole here was filled with white smoke, and the view was blocked.
Liu Binyuan habitually squinted his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the cave, his right hand had already drawn out three arrows and put them on the bow, but the white smoke was billowing out, and he couldn't see clearly with his eyesight. Liu Qingxue also held the hilt of the sword and was ready to attack. They looked at each other, and they could see the nervousness and uneasiness in each other's eyes. They were sure that the other party was not from the Liu family, and the Liu family advocated defeating the enemy with force and had never used such a thing. Then, it should be those mysterious people in the Northern Wasteland.
In the "sizzle" of white smoke, the two heard the sound of heavy footsteps falling to the ground. Liu Bin did not hesitate, and the three arrows with the bow were fired directly. In a relatively small space, although it is not accurate to launch three arrows at the same time, it covers a large area, which is suitable for exploring the situation in the white smoke.
There was a muffled snort from the white smoke, Liu Binyuan actually shot the target, he himself was a little surprised, but there was no sluggishness in his hand, and three arrows were shot. Obviously, this time the enemy was prepared, and Liu Binyuan heard a sonorous sound, it should be that the arrow was blocked by the opponent's sword.
Liu Qingxue motioned for Liu Binyuan to stop and wait for the enemy to show his face. They are in the shadows, and they have certain advantages. But the puffs of white smoke did not disperse, and the other party did not appear. A moment later, the sound of the machine running could be heard in the white smoke.
Liu Binyuan noticed that the ape around him suddenly became irritable, and there was even a trace of fear on his face that had become hideous again. It roared, its arms slamming into the ground, and the ground trembled. Liu Bin didn't have time to react, and the brute ape suddenly rushed out, rushing towards the white smoke in front of him, holding his hands together like a hammer, and slamming forward.
"Damn!" both reacted quickly. Liu Binyuan let go of the bowstring he had pulled up, and quickly advanced along the stone wall towards the entrance of the cave. Liu Qingxue drew her sword out of the sheath, like a blue afterimage following behind the brute ape, constricting her breath, and under the strong footsteps of the brute ape, her slender body looked inconspicuous.
The ape's blow brought up the white smoke around it, and the strong wind it brought up cut through the white smoke screen like a sharp blade, splitting the smoke screen in two. The enemies in the smoke reacted quickly and rolled to each side, dodging the shocking blow. Only then did Liu Binyuan see clearly that there were three people on the other side, and the three of them were wearing furs with four or five pockets sewn on them, and their bags were bulging, as if there was something else in them. Liu Binyuan was curious in his heart, what kind of precious thing was it, and they didn't want to throw it away in the face of such a life and death situation as a wild ape?
One of the three was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and he lunged to the left, barely dodging the ape's attack, while the other two were nimble and seemed to have a more tacit understanding, dodging to the right, and carrying a small square platform-like mechanism together.
The brute ape missed, quickly let go of his grip and reached out to grab the enemy on the right, obviously very afraid of the machinery in their hands. The two seemed to be strictly trained, and although they were bloated, they cooperated very tacitly, and as soon as they landed, they jumped without hesitation, dragging the machine together to distance themselves from the ape.
The man who had dodged in the other direction had now drawn his knife and was now facing away from the ape. He slashed out, and the target was the wound in the ape's abdomen.
There was a "clang", but his knife was taken. He was slightly stunned, he didn't have time to see the opponent clearly in the smoke, so he swung a knife forward, Liu Qingxue quickly retracted the sword body, moved his body to the right, just dodged the opponent's blade, and turned around and swung a sword at the opponent with the strength of the sword.
The man was shot in the shoulder, his figure looked much clumsy, and he tried his best to dodge, but he still left a deep wound in his chest. Liu Qingxue relied on the rotating sword momentum, the center of gravity shifted back, and the right foot kicked out, and the opponent was kicked backwards, hit the stone wall, and fainted for a while.
On the other side, the other two people had already clamped the wooden square platform in their hands to the ground, I don't know what they did, the sound of the machine sounded, and the two of them were waiting for it, but there was a big gap between this weapon and the bow and crossbow that Liu Binyuan guessed, and they couldn't see the shape. The brute ape seemed to be very afraid of this thing, and did not dare to come forward to attack for a while. The two of them seized the opportunity to take some parts of different shapes from their pockets and install them on the square platform, and the parts gradually put together into a bow, and the original square table was its base. Liu Binyuan reacted that it should be difficult to carry such a weapon with him, so it was a feasible way to split it into several parts and carry it by people.
The brute ape was obviously hit hard by this weapon, its eyes were red at this time, and it couldn't stop roaring, but it didn't dare to step forward, and was deeply afraid of the power of the crossbow arrow. Once this kind of device is shot, it will take some time to fill it again, and the two of them know that there are still people in the dark, and they don't dare to launch it at will, confronting the barbarian ape, Liu Binyuan has a surge of anger in his heart, and shoots an arrow with a bow.
The two men had obviously anticipated the presence of hidden arrows, and quickly caught the sound of the arrow cluster breaking through the air, swinging their swords to block. But both of their swords missed, and just when the two were puzzled, Liu Binyuan's arrow had already been nailed to the bow and crossbow, which happened to be the slipway of the machine, hindering the operation of the entire device.
Liu Binyuan was secretly surprised, the northern realm is famous for the dense distribution of metal veins, although the blade of the Liu family is not as sharp as the spirit blade made of the iron of sink, it is also extremely sharp, and the bows and crossbows and arrows he brought are also extraordinary, even so, they just happened to be nailed into this frame but did not penetrate. The material of this weapon is even harder and stronger than Liu Binyuan imagined.
But his purpose had been achieved, and the faces of the two men changed dramatically, while the ape roared like a gorilla, as if inspired, and beat its chest like a gorilla, as if it were a trumpet before attacking. Liu Binyuan shot an arrow again, and this time the other party was mentally prepared, swinging his sword to block, while moving the bow and crossbow, blocking its shell in front to avoid damage to the mechanism.
It's just that this time, the two of them moved, and the direction of the bow and crossbow also changed, no longer facing the brute ape, the brute ape finally dared to attack, its hands smashed down with the momentum of thunder, and the bow and crossbow immediately shattered. The two people's faces sank, and they were about to dodge, but they were meeting the arrows shot by Liu Bin. In a hurry, the movement of one of them suddenly stopped, and he was caught up by the brute ape, holding it with one hand, and then slamming it into the stone wall, Liu Bin couldn't bear to look at it, but only vaguely glimpsed the flesh flying.
The remaining one had a dead face, and when he was in a panic, he happened to bump into Liu Qingxue again. He had no fighting spirit at all, and he barely took two swords before being pierced through his chest by Liu Qingxue's attack.
Liu Qingxue looked at the corpse next to her feet, her face was a little pale, of course, she saw more of the remaining half of the corpse in the hands of the brute ape. Rao is that she has practiced martial arts for many years, and she has never seen such tyrannical blood.
The ape was covered in blood, and looked quite hideous and terrifying, and a pair of eyes were rolling, looking particularly excited. As if to vent the murderous intent churning in its chest, it pounded the ground with a sharp howl. This small cave is littered with rubble, and snow or dust is leaking through the cracks. It looked at Liu Qingxue and Liu Binyuan, dancing in their hands, as if they were showing off the half of the corpse in their hands. Both of them immediately squeezed under the outermost hole, for fear that one of them would be accidentally buried alive by the brute ape.
Liu Qingxue looked at Liu Binyuan and met his gaze. Liu Binyuan smiled bitterly: "This matter is troublesome!"
