Chapter 21: The Speed of Life and Death
Gently take off the longbow from the shoulder, pull out two wooden arrows from the waist, one in the mouth, one on the bow, the bowstring is slightly pulled, obliquely pointing downward, to ensure that the bow can be raised as soon as possible in case of emergencies, and the string can be controlled to shoot the arrow.
Walking in this quiet jungle, there are no snakes, insects, birds and beasts, and the quietness makes people panic. It's like walking alone in the deep mine, the dim and lightless environment, no companions, no lights, no roar of machines, no hustle and bustle of the city, everything is so quiet, only the sound of one's own footsteps echoes in the mine from time to time, so that it proves that it is in the activity, the oppressive darkness, so that people have no thoughts of speaking. The sound of breathing was infinitely amplified, and his chest was slightly dull.
"Hu ......" let out a long breath to relieve the dullness in his chest, and asked Chuanting to look up, through the layers of leaves, criss-crossing branches, faintly see the fine blue sky.
Slightly soothing, the footsteps continued, and the feeling of being watched did not go away.
The fallen leaves under the tree could not withstand the heavy pressure, and there was a subtle creaking sound with the footsteps. There is no light skill like flying on the grass and stepping on the snow without a trace, and Wen Chuanting has no choice but to try to lighten his steps.
I have walked a long distance, and the feeling of being peeped at has not aggravated or lessened, it is still so light and slight. Ask Chuanting to be extremely nervous. This kind of pressure that makes people nervous all the time weighs heavily on his heart. The feeling of aggrieved filled my heart.
Leaning against the ancient trunk of the tree with mottled and knotted bark, he exhaled a long breath of turbid gas again, relieving the tense nerves a little. I can't help but rethink whether it's worth it. The long period of tension made him believe that if he didn't relieve it, without new discoveries, his tense nerve would break.
Reaching out and tearing off a vine that touched his hair, he threw it to the ground. Milky white juice slowly flowed from the breaks of the vines that danced on the thick fallen leaves, and a faint fragrance wafted into the nose. A faint breeze blew, calming Wen Chuanting's nervous mood and soothing his tense nerves.
"That's not right!" asked Chuan Ting relaxedly, clenching the bow and arrow in his hand. After feeling like he was being watched, he never felt a trace of wind, not even a breeze. At this moment, after tearing off a vine, as the fragrance appeared, a faint breeze followed, without a trace of the rotten smell of leaves. Even if this forest area has a super purification function, it is impossible to eliminate the rotten smell of fallen leaves.
At this time, Wen Chuanting realized that since entering this quiet forest area, except for not feeling the wind, he did not smell the special smell of decay from the beginning, which is a very abnormal phenomenon.
Unless the wind blows all the time, it will be able to blow away the rotten smell and dilute it into the air.
The right foot kicked the trunk of the tree back, and he scurried, and his body was still in the air, and the arrow in his hand had been shot. It was indeed just now that Wen Chuanting felt a faint breeze coming from above his head. Only then did he suddenly realize that he didn't find vines when he rested with his back to the trunk of the tree at first, and how could there be vines hanging from behind, giving him a faint sense of touch.
One arrow was fired, and the second arrow was drawn like lightning, and then he raised his eyes to the location where he had just noticed the abnormality.
"It's empty...... How come?" asked Chuanting frowned. The arrow that was shot was obviously some distance from the trunk of the tree, but just like that, there was a section of the shaft suspended in the air, without hesitation, without stupidity, the second arrow was fired, and the third arrow was fired. Strange things happened, the second arrow also only had one shaft left, there was no trembling, only a slight sound of piercing the flesh, and the third arrow was shot, and the first two arrows with only the shaft of the arrow floated down obviously for some distance, causing the third arrow to shoot into the trunk of the tree with a thud.
A drop of crimson blood flowed down the shaft of the first arrow.
Seeing this, Wen Chuanting's heart let go slightly, the unpredictable is the most terrifying, and now that he has found something, even if it is a phenomenon that he has never seen, it is no longer so maddening.
The two arrow shafts fluttered rapidly, and asked Chuan Ting to bend the bow and take the arrows, and his eyes moved with the arrow shafts, and when he saw the two arrow shafts hanging on the ground, the arrows in his hands burst out, and the sound of a sonic boom sounded.
The two poles of the arrows tumbled backwards with the sound of a sonic boom, and the sharp-eyed questioner noticed four sunken places on the thick fallen leaves early and bounced up quickly.
"Four-legged beasts. Ask Chuanting to define in his heart.
In his hand, he kept shooting arrows with a bow, accompanied by the roar of the beast, and when it landed, four arrows had been shot and firmly inserted into the illusory body.
Along with the shot down body, the thick fallen leaves were lifted, and the dust settled, and a blue-black leopard appeared and disappeared in the whining sound, with seven arrows stuck in its body, one of which penetrated its nose under its forehead and sealed its mouth, which is why this leopard could only make a whining sound.
"A stealthy leopard?!" asked Chuanting was stunned, but did not let his guard down because his limbs twitched, and took the arrow again, steadily piercing through one ear and out the other. It wasn't until the leopard was silent that he walked in, kicked the leopard full of arrows with his toes, and saw that it didn't react, so he squatted down.
The oily and slippery fur, the streamlined and robust body, except for the blue and black, there is no spotted pattern on the leopard at the edge of the forest, and there is no white line under the belly of the leopard, and the other appearances are no different from ordinary leopards. Of course, if you have to say it, there is still a difference, that is, it will be invisible.
"Well, a blue-black leopard that can be invisible. Asked Chuanting muttered. Pull out the arrows one by one, wipe off the blood, and put them in the reserve quiver. With the death of the leopard, the feeling of being watched disappears. It is rare to relax the nervous mood. Of course, it was only a little relaxed, not completely relaxed.
The dangers of the jungle have just been realized. In particular, species that can be stealthy, if they are not sensitive, it is not known who will kill the deer.
Wen Chuanting never thought that this battle would be so easy, just eight arrows, except for one arrow that missed, seven arrows shot a leopard that could be stealthy to death.
"Perhaps, as a xenomorph among leopards, they are accustomed to killing with one blow, and carelessness in battle is the biggest surprise of its death. After disposing of the blood, he summed up the leopard's death.
Pick up the leopard on your back and walk the way you came. In his mind, the strangeness of this forest may be more than a leopard that can stealth, if there is another one, he is not sure that he can hunt as easily as this one without being injured. Even if this leopard is completely incomparable to the grizzly bear it encountered before in terms of size, in terms of IQ and attack, this stealthy leopard will completely blow up the grizzly bear.
"As a different species, it is no problem to baptize the little brother. "Ask Chuanting to think so.
