Chapter 988: That Arrow in the Night

Just as our boat had just been moving some distance forward, I suddenly heard a commotion coming from the flying clouds behind me.

The ship was too big, too high, like a mountain standing in front of us, so that the noise from above was faint to our ears, but we could clearly see the chaotic light and shadow above, and the sky was getting dark, and the sailors had already lit many torches, and as they walked around with torches in hand, the lights and shadows became confused.

On board, did something happen?

Could it be that my escape has already been discovered by them?

Thinking of this, I was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said to Xiao Wusheng: "Let's go!" ”

However, unexpectedly, not only did he not say a word, but even the small boat under him, which was originally moving forward slowly, slowly stopped, swaying on the sea.

I was puzzled, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He still didn't speak, just stood quietly at the stern of the boat, the light was so dim that I couldn't see his movements at all, I only intuitively felt that he seemed to be looking at the side of the sea and flying clouds.

Could it be that he found something?

The noise on the boat became louder and louder, but time passed little by little, and just when I was anxious and was about to urge him to leave quickly, suddenly, I also saw in front of me, under the shadow cast by the huge flying clouds that crossed the sea, a black shadow appeared on the sea, and was swaying towards us.

That'sβ€”

I frowned, and was about to take a closer look, but the thing seemed to feel something, and it swayed harder, and approached us faster, and then, I heard a very small voice in the distanceβ€”

"Wait for me!"

This voice is - Xue Muhua?!

I was stunned, and when I looked at her, it was her, standing in a small boat, with oars in her hand, rowing slowly towards us.

Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and in a short time she was already beside us, and I hurriedly got up and helped her into our dinghy, and both of them were unsteady on their feet, and the wolf fell down.

Xiao Wusheng was already standing quietly in the stern of the boat, without saying a word.

I looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

She rowed for a while, and she was tired enough, and she gasped a few times before she said, "I overheard you talking to your eldest brother and know what he is going to do." I wanted to go with you to save Yuanfeng, but you were looked at by their people, so I ran to Liu Qinghan's room, and originally wanted to talk to you at the window and discuss it, but it turned out to-"

She didn't finish her words, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Wusheng.

I understood immediately.

She wanted to get in touch with me at the window, but she happened to meet me and summoned Xiao Wusheng, she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so she didn't alarm us first.

But-

I also glanced at Xiao Wusheng, with the martial arts cultivation of a person like him, it is impossible not to notice that someone in the room next to him is eavesdropping on our contact, but he has been letting it go, probably he already knows Xue Muhua's identity, so just as Xue Muhua's ship appeared, he immediately stopped and waited for her.

I asked, "So, how did you get out?" ”

"They sent someone to watch you, but no one looked after me." Xue Muhua finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Moreover, when I secretly put down their boat, I seemed to hear a lot of noise above them, and I don't know what happened. ”

"Oh?"

"They all gathered on the other side of the deck, and no one noticed me, so I got out of it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I frowned and looked up at the flying clouds.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the tall sea flying clouds are like a huge mountain standing in front of us, at this moment has completely blended into the dark sky, we look up, we can only see the messy light and shadow above, as if there are many people running back and forth, and what they are saying loudly, but they can't hear a word.

It seems that something is wrong, as she said.

What the hell is going on?

However, now is not the time to worry about them, after all, such a huge ship as Feiyun crossing the sea is already a very powerful strength at sea, what we have to do now is to hurry to Tianquan Island and inform Liu Qinghan of them!

Thinking of this, I turned back to Xiao Wusheng and said, "Let's go." ”

I don't have the eyes of Hongchen as Liu Qinghan said, but this long journey, only the sound of the waves in my ears and Xue Muhua's heavy breathing, endless, I seem to be able to feel that in this boundless ocean, our small boat is like a rootless wanderer, moving forward lonely and weak.

But it never stopped.

When night falls, Tianquan Island has completely integrated into the deep sea of night, and the flying clouds behind it have long since disappeared, and in such a helpless situation, it is most likely to make people feel helpless.

Xue Muhua's hand holding my arm has been shaking unconsciously.

Actually, I was also shivering, but maybe because of the fear in her heart, I couldn't feel it at all, so I just stretched out my cold hand and gently patted the back of her hand.

The speed of our dinghy was not slow, and I even felt that it was much faster than the speed of Xiao Yusheng's imperial boat that I had seen in Qianqiu Lake before.

This person, his cultivation is definitely not under his brother!

I don't know why, he has such a good cultivation, but he has to embark on such a path.

Although he can be said to be famous in Xichuan, it is a matter of talking about it, but now I am with Xue Muhua and him in this small world, close to each other, but unexpectedly there is no aura that makes us feel afraid, he is like a person who does not exist at all, a shadow that no one pays attention to under the light, standing quietly in the stern of the boat.

And I could feel that he was looking ahead.

In the dark, in such an endless ocean, people's sense of direction will deviate a lot, and our sight of Tianquan Island is slowly getting bigger, and it is becoming more and more blurred into the dark night, although there is no feeling, but I am faintly aware that we have gone around to the east of the island.

But by this time, at least three hours had passed.

It's time to go.

I speculated before that even if Xiao Yusheng and the others arrived at Tianquan Island in advance, they would not act immediately, but would wait for dark before landing on the island, but now that this is the time, they should wait for the opportunity to move.

We need to speed up!

We are actually not far from Tianquan Island, but because we are facing the east side of the island, there is a dark cliff, there is no light at all, and I don't know what the situation is on that side.

My heart was tormented, and I couldn't help but turn back to Xiao Wusheng and say, "Can you be faster?" ”

He seemed to look at me and didn't speak.

But the speed of the ship is still the same as before.

I knew that this man could not be forced, so I could only sigh, leaned over the side of the boat and looked ahead, but I saw a large silver sparkle in the black and turbulent water, which dazzled my eyes, and when I fixed my eyes, it was a large school of fish, swimming quickly under our dinghy.

It's the same as what I saw before on Crossing the Sea and Flying Clouds.

Our boat continued to move on, and after another quarter of an hour, we finally approached the island of Tianquan!

And I saw at a glance that there was Xiao Yusheng's boat in front!

Their ship was still some distance from the island, but because the sea near the cliff was full of raised reefs, like wolves waiting below, the big ship could not go across, so it had to stop a little farther away.

I immediately noticed that there was hardly any movement on board, and apparently, they had landed on the island!

Suddenly, my breathing became a little shorter, and I stood up and looked at the mountain wall that almost hung straight into the sea, and the steep and steep cliff above, and couldn't help but become more and more nervous: "They have landed on the island!" ”

Xiao Wusheng didn't speak, and the small boat under his feet seemed to have eyes, and deftly bypassed the dense reefs in front of him, and slowly drove to the bottom of the mountain wall.

The tide was surging in waves, and our dinghy was particularly vigorous.

I said, "How are we going to get on?"

Before I could finish my sentence, I felt a hand grab the clothes on my back.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce force lifted me up, and before I could react, the whole person had already risen into the air, and the dinghy that was constantly shaking with the sea water was more than ten feet away from my feet!

Xue Muhua's unexpected, almost frightened whisper sounded in his ears.

However, her cry was almost gone, and our feet were already on the hard rock, and I happened to step on a raised stone, stumbling a little, and Xiao Wusheng withdrew his hand from behind my back, grabbed my wrist, and grabbed me.

I felt as if I had been touched by a piece of ice, but as soon as I stood firm, he let go of me.

Standing beside him, Xue Muhua, who was frightened, was still a little palpitating, looked at me, looked at Xiao Wusheng, and looked down at the boat that had turned into the size of a leaf, and came back to his senses after a while: "I__we__"

"We're here."

I have experienced Huang Tianba taking me to Tianzi Peak before, I have seen some "world", and now this is not a "big scene", I breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked around.

The sky was dark, and I could only barely see that it was a raised cliff, standing on a steep cliff, like a wolf howling at the sky. However, on this cliff, the mountain is not so dangerous and can be climbed.

I intently recalled the fake map that the Iron Mask King had brought out earlier, and judging from the few markings I had seen sporadically, they were supposed to land from here and go up the ridge above.

I hurriedly turned my head and was about to say something to Xiao Wusheng, but as soon as I turned my head, I found that although he was standing there quietly, without saying a word, he was slightly gasping.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

My words immediately blocked in my throat.

At this time, I came back to my senses a littleβ€”he was on the sea and flying clouds before, and he should have been by my side, but he didn't let me see it, obviously he didn't stay in some comfortable place to rest; And then, from the sea where Feiyun crossed the sea and docked so far away, the royal boat sailed here, and the boat also took me and Xue Muhua, and then took the two of us to such a high cliff......

It is impossible for him not to be tired!

No wonder, when I was at sea before, I urged him to hurry up, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't implement it, now that I think about it, he should have reached the limit of his body, but in order to reach Tianquan Island, he still has to send us to the island, so he didn't spend the last body!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel guilty and looked at him with some sadness.

But the black shadow still didn't feel anything, not even any temperature, and stood there quietly, letting the sea breeze blow the wind on his body.

Xue Muhua also looked at me: "What are we going to do next?" ”

"......," I paused, and then said, "In order not to be discovered by them, we must be careful and go up the mountain first." ”

"Okay."

After speaking, she had already turned around and walked forward, Xiao Wusheng glanced at me, didn't say anything, just quietly followed our footsteps.

The sea breeze whistled in our ears, and the rough rocks quickly wore out our hands, and we didn't know what the bumps had become, but Xue Muhua and I didn't speak, and only turned all our efforts into muffled gasps in our noses, and tried our best to climb up.

But this mountain, which is really higher than what you can see on the map, is higher than you imagined.

Moreover, it is also more steep than the dragon's spine on the nameless island before, the ridge is not only steep, but also narrow, there is almost no place for people to walk normally, after we climbed the ridge, except for Xiao Wusheng, almost all of them used both hands and feet, like animals wolf bèi climbed forward.

And the towering woods and dense bushes on the other side of the ridge, we faintly see the whole body of this huge Tianquan Island, which is indeed huge, if the nameless island is like a beast crawling on the sea, then this island is completely a dragon, the winding mountain is the twisted body of the dragon, and the huge roar from the waves crashing against the reef is like the roar of a dragon's head lying on the bottom of the water.

And on the west side of the island, we saw some sporadic flickering fires.

Although, it is very far away from us, as if it is flickering in the sky.

That should be the Sea Serpent Gang, and after Yan Qinghan's people went to the island, they occupied some of the passes that the Iron Mask King had set up on the island before, and now they are used as a fortress to prevent the Iron Mask King from attacking.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously looked up into the distance.

The sky and sea are pitch black, and you can't see the flying clouds across the sea.

I don't know what happened on the sea and flying clouds when we left before, or what happened on the sea, whether the Iron Mask King will still come to attack Tianquan Island, but along the way, the doubt in my heart has not been answered.

He led all the people to the island of heavenly power.

He will kill all the people.

But what was he going to do?

No matter how big the sea crossing Feiyun is, it is only a ship, compared to this huge Tianquan Island, it is only a small storage zΓ i, even if the power of the artillery on his ship is not small, but he can't destroy the entire island, right? What's more, as a huge force in this sea area, the strength of the Sea Serpent Gang should not be underestimated.

What method is he going to use to kill all the people here?

I was thinking as I climbed forward, the wind on the top of the mountain became more and more cold, coupled with the cold temperature of the night, almost froze my hands and feet, I stopped a step and sighed into the palm of my hand that was already numb, Xue Muhua was a step or two in front of me, looked back at me at this time, and said softly: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine."

"It's so quiet here."

"Yes...... except for the sound of a few of us walking, only the sound of the wind remains. As the saying goes, the wind frightens the birds, and this huge mountain, not to mention the beast, not even a bird is startled.

I heard another bitter wind blowing, and the trees on the mountain shook desperately, making a rustling sound.

Xue Muhua subconsciously shrunk his neck and said softly, "It's so windy." ”

"yes."

"Be careful."

"I know, so do you."

Almost as soon as the words fell, the cold, silent man in the back suddenly reached out and grabbed my arm.

I was pulled to a standstill, and subconsciously turned back.

I saw Xiao Wusheng standing behind me, pitch black, and I couldn't see his expression and eyes clearly, only the strong and cold hand on his arm was holding me tightly.

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Muhua in front also heard the movement behind us, and subconsciously turned his head to look at us: "How__"

But the moment she turned around, her feet happened to step on a raised stone, the soft soil couldn't bear such a weight, the stone suddenly turned over, and Xue Muhua suddenly fell, and the whole person slid to the side.

"Ahh

"Be careful!"

I shouted, but before I could reach out, she was tumbling and falling.

"Mu Hua!"

I was so frightened that I saw that her petite figure was immediately swallowed up by the bushes below, and there was a cry of pain, and I hurried down to save her, but before I could straighten up, I felt that the hand that was dragging my arm had used some strength again.

I frowned and looked back at Xiao Wusheng.

What's going on?

From the very beginning, his watch has always been a little strange.

However, when I asked him, he did not say a word.

I'm a little anxious, seeing Xue Muhua fall like this, even if she is not seriously injured, it must be enough for her, in case the injury is broken-

At this time, I didn't have time to think about anything, so I was about to break free from his hand and go down.

But at this moment, I saw a few cold lights flying over the mountainside below.

I hadn't broken free of Xiao Wusheng's hand, he twisted my arm, and with a sudden force, I suddenly turned around on the ground, only to hear two pops, and two cold lights were nailed not far from where I was just standing!

If you look closely, it's two arrows!

I gasped.

And then, on the originally silent mountainside, the black bushes suddenly made a rustling sound, and I faintly saw countless black shadows coming out of it, their movements were extremely fast, some of them ran to the place where Xue Muhua fell before, and the other part rushed straight towards us.

And where they moved, I could clearly see a few cold lights, shining in the dark night.

Those people, who are they?!

I was suddenly stunned, I didn't expect such a group of people to suddenly appear on such a quiet mountain, and as soon as they came, they attacked us with bows and arrows, the sky was so dark, they could shoot so accurately, obviously not ordinary archers!

Are you from the Sea Serpents?

Or is it Yan Qinghan's person?

Or-

I was also confused for a while, my breath was short, my heart was beating like thunder, and I saw that those black shadows had quickly climbed up, not far from the distance between us, and I felt behind me, a cold breath spread, as if all of a sudden the temperature around me had dropped suddenly, and as soon as I turned around, I saw Xiao Wusheng slowly letting go of my arm.

The hand, which was almost dazzling in the darkness, slowly withdrew and stretched out to his waist.

I immediately realized that his sword!

He's going to draw his sword!

I immediately remembered the rumors about him - he was ruthless by nature, murderous without blinking, and had a penchant for raising swords with human blood!

If he started now, he would undoubtedly kill them all!

Butβ€”

I glanced back at the rapidly moving black shadows, and I was a little anxious, no matter what, Xiao Wusheng's method of killing people was not advisable; Moreover, even if these people are all pirates of the Sea Serpent Gang, if they fight like this, it will take some time after all, we don't know how many people have come, in case there are too many people, and the ants bite the elephant to death, Xiao Wusheng will be difficult to get out, and there is no chance to notify Liu Qinghan and Xiao Yusheng of them!

That is the most important purpose of our business!

Thinking of this, I reached out at once and pressed his hand towards the hilt of the sword.

He glanced down at me, a cold glint in his eyes.

I lowered my voice and said, "Don't delay here, hurry up and find your brothers, as well as Liu Qinghan and them!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Sue them, leave Tianquan Island immediately, this is a trap, the Iron Mask King is going to kill all the people, let them leave quickly!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"You go!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt his whole body move back.

I saw a black shadow flash in front of him, a gust of cold wind hit his face, and his figure had disappeared.

It's ...... fast!

I couldn't react, and subconsciously looked left and right, but before I could come back to my senses, the heavy footsteps behind me were already close to my ears.

Several people surrounded me.

I looked a little wolf, I had just been carried by Xiao Wusheng and rolled around on the ground, I could be described as gray-headed and dirty, and when I raised my head, I only saw that those black shadows were all extremely strong, all of them were tall men, all of them were holding swords in their hands, and there were curved bows, and the tips of the bright arrows were aimed straight at my eyebrows.

For a moment, I was a little suffocated.

But the next moment, I saw that the blades, blades, and arrows that shone with a blinding cold light all stopped for a moment and slowly drooped down.

"It's you?!" Finish? ”

Xue Muhua in front also heard the movement behind us, and subconsciously turned his head to look at us: "How__"

But the moment she turned around, her feet happened to step on a raised stone, the soft soil couldn't bear such a weight, the stone suddenly turned over, and Xue Muhua suddenly fell, and the whole person slid to the side.

"Ahh

I shouted, but before I could reach out, she was tumbling and falling.
