Chapter 12 Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Rumble!
"Well, this sword is good! With your talent, as long as you can do it according to my plan, it will not be difficult to have such an extent in a year. ”
"It's amazing, teacher, this is invincible in the world, how can you reach such a realm?"
"The world is invincible! Oh, this term sounds strange and harsh! You have to remember that how this set of swordsmanship will develop is related to what kind of sword you want to swing...... However, do you really think this set of swordsmanship is very powerful?"
"Isn't it? There is no set of swordsmanship that the student has learned all his life can compare to it. ”
"Hehe! It seems that your experience is not enough, in the future, you will find that this is actually the most useless set of swordsmanship......"
“......”
El Tieno calendar 560 December Shu Road
"Hey, hey!"
Surrounded by mountains, among the barren smoke and vines, there was a faint sound of shouting, and a group of people who were full of grief and indignation, who were shackled and handcuffed, under the threat of the whip swinging, worked hard against the sun.
The number of slave laborers was nearly 100, and the five or six overseers, who were holding leather whips on the side, seemed to be impatient with this "big talent" work, and while chatting with each other, they beat the slave laborers to get angry.
Despite their low ranks, they were also knightly figures, and for some reason they were sent to such a chore, which humiliated their self-esteem.
This feeling is not original, not far from them, there is also a man who laments his current situation three times.
"One, two, three, four...... There are fifteen of the guards alone...... The qi scattered around is no matter how low it is, but there are more than forty of them, alas!
With a sharp gaze, through the branches and leaves, Mo Wen was peeking at all the movements in the mountains and forests, watching him spread his limbs wide, hugging the trunk tightly and muttering.
According to the breath of the red-eyed demon ape, in the past few days, Ailing used the magic guide obtained from his father to lock the location of the obsidian mirror, and after telling Mo Wen the results, he followed the current infiltration investigation, because he was worried that he might face the plight of the entire team of knights, and he was also very cautious.
The slaves were carrying something strange, very large glass tubes, each several feet high and about a foot wide, and it was hard to imagine what they were doing in the wilderness.
Mo Wen could see at a glance that he had seen this kind of thing twice, it was the Susheng Sink, a tool belonging to the Ancient Demon Dao.
The price of the orthodox Susheng sink is very high, and the manufacturing technology is also very difficult, and it is a high-priced item that only the national class can afford, but since the owner here can hire the knights to be the guard, it should not be difficult to buy a Susheng sink!
"Barren mountains and mountains, why are you buying this thing?"
Through the special pranayama method, Mo Wen eliminated all the signs of life on his body, turned the outgoing breath into restraint, and even lowered his body temperature and heartbeat to a low point to avoid the enemy's search.
Within a radius of one mile, there are at least forty-three knights, searching back and forth, as long as they are not careful, they find their whereabouts, it is a tragic situation of bloody battles in the dense forest, at that time, no matter how unwilling, there is only a hard-hitting tactic.
The enemy's base area, which on the outside looks like a square, with three or two thatched huts, concentrated on the east side of the square, should be the dwelling of these slave laborers, which is in tatters and is just enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
Well, what about the enemy's hideouts?
According to the results of observation, it seems that all of them have gone underground, and there are many primeval dense forests in the Longteng Mountains, and since ancient times, many private organizations have built secret bases here for various purposes, in other words, it is not surprising that there is an underground fortress here.
In this case, the next question is simplified.
In order to retrieve the obsidian mirror that is hidden in the depths, he must infiltrate this underground building, and do it when he sees the opportunity, if only so, it is okay, but the trouble is, because he is not familiar with all kinds of magic tools, in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, so he must take Ailing to sneak in together.
In fact, from Mo Wen's point of view, taking Ailing to sneak in with him greatly increased the incidence of "unnecessary accidents", but he didn't know anything about the specific way to recover the obsidian mirror, and Ailing herself shook her head vigorously, saying that it involved her top secret, so in Mo Ke's helpless situation, he had to sneak in by two people.
The prerequisite is not to make extraneous branches, if a master like Chireth reappears, his current ten lives are not enough to die, and the final result is that he and Xiao Ailing, along with the entire Wolf Howl Knights, will be killed together.
Regarding this, Mo Wen also has a little preparation plan in his heart, but whether things can go as smoothly as he expected is a big question mark......
Putting these aside, he focused his mind on the Wolf Howling Knights in front of him, and Mo Wen integrated all kinds of information in his mind.
"Well, if you can have more good helpers to defeat each of them, it's not like there's no chance of winning!"
A general assessment of the enemy's position was made, and a clear understanding of the hidden open and hidden posts should be quite sufficient in terms of reconnaissance operations.
Mo Wen floated down from among the branches and leaves, and retreated.
Quite unimaginable, at a quick glance, Mo Wen already has an inseparable understanding of the enemy's strength, from the deployment position, the flow of troops, the enemy's footsteps, breathing, and ground qi reaction, Mo Wen has obtained a lot of information, and he even affirmed this fact.
Judging from the current information, although the other party is not a rabble, it is definitely not an elite division. Knights like this can easily create amazing results in guerrilla warfare with plundering surnames, but in defense, because of the uneven overall quality and lack of complete training, they will be inferior to ordinary regular armies, and there will be great flaws in the connection and division of labor between them.
In other words, as long as he can command twenty-five knights of average strength to form an elite team, Mo Wen is ninety percent sure that he will annihilate the Wolf Howling Knights in a battle, of course, if he can still exert his former strength, he can easily kill this ghost knight with just one person and one sword.
Judging from Mo Wen's appearance, it was difficult to imagine that he would have such judgment, but for him, it was not surprising at all, because before he became a wandering swordsman, he was once a soldier who commanded nearly 10,000 troops.
It's a pity that no matter how sharp your eyes are, there is no place for them at the moment, the time sequence has shifted, and the personnel have long been out of place, and now you don't have a soldier or a general around you, and all you can rely on is a sword with both hands.
"Nearly two hundred people can't run away, plus some red-eyed demon apes or something, it's really an easy job to get started!"
While running at high speed in the mountains and forests, Mo asked a wry smile.
There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, and although I am not alone, basically speaking, that partner does not constitute combat power, in other words, this is a war that cannot be fought at all, and it is really interesting to say that life has come to such a point.
Don't ask the soles of the feet to bounce, jump, kick, point, slide, jump, turn like flying, when the branches take off and fly back, the body shape is round and wishful, like a big bat, although weird, the speed is terrifyingly high, as if it is the legendary "god foot", turned into a gust of breeze in the dense forest.
"Oh! ”
Two knights suddenly flashed in front of them, their momentum was very urgent, Mo asked to dodge, it was too late, in a hurry, he took a stone, shot behind the two with a whirling technique, and when the enemy turned back to investigate, his left foot kicked in the void, his body was high, he stepped on the grass and trees, his body was as fast as lightning, he bent left and right, and in the blink of an eye, he walked nearly a hundred feet between the forest leaves, and the knight who was swaying left and right was still unaware.
In this way, Mo Wen came and went freely in the alert net of dozens of knights, even if he occasionally bumped into the enemy, he was immediately led away by his quick wit, and did not miss a flaw.
It stands to reason that the eyes and ears of knights are far beyond ordinary people, and among the knights on alert, there are many good hands, that is, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is not easy to come and go without a trace, and the whole body retreats.
However, although Mo Wen's "White Cloud Flowing Spring" body method is not a top-level light skill, it uses some kind of secret pranayama method to increase the speed of the true qi rotation, and also doubles the dexterity when lifting the longitudinal, and can generate its own ingenuity, canceling out the sound when landing, which can be said to be the best exercise when stealth.
"Hey! It was in vain that I was tossed by the bearded old man for half a month, and sure enough, it came in handy today. ”
Thinking of the experience of learning this method, a smile appeared on the corner of the silver-haired man's mouth, at that time he was arrogant, learning this method was just for his own amusement, but he never thought that there would be a day when he would really avoid the enemy.
There are many sects on the mainland that are famous for light skills, and there are many masters among them, but they will concentrate on the development of "no shadow" light skills, and the highest achievement must be the city of Medesia in the Great Snow Mountain.
The Great Snow Mountain is the first assassin battalion of the Wind Continent, for all kinds of stealth, stealth technology, unparalleled in the world, Mo Wen was ordered by his teacher to travel to the Great Snow Mountain, to meet the peerless sword heroes, the old man in the mountain.
He is extremely talented, although it is only half a year, he has already benefited a lot from the martial arts of the old man in the mountains, and he has learned this silent body method by the way.
"Roosters and dogs are thieves, what a gentleman doesn't do, but now that the gentleman is in trouble, he has to be poor and indiscriminate, sad!"
With his feet in the air, Mo Wen broke away from the enemy's search net and returned to Brown Village, ready to discuss with Ailing how to infiltrate, which was a big nerve-wracking problem, but he had to take one step at a time.
"What did I do wrong in my last life, O great gods......?"
Rushed back to Brown Village, but did not see Ailing, inquired with the villagers, and got a note she left, which made him bitter, and his poor chin was wide open, and he was in a daze at the note in his hand.
"Mutation! Oriental Sanli Monkey-shaped Stone! Come quickly!"
When I asked the villagers, they didn't know anything, except that after Mo Wen left this morning, Ailing also hurriedly left this note, and then went out. Hearing this, the silver-haired man suddenly felt an urge to smash the note, just as he wanted to cut someone's throat.
"When is it, it's still happening outside the festival, it's really not busy enough, is it?"
Having said that, he had no choice but to follow the past, and Mo Wen left the cave, shaking his head while walking towards the east.
The distance of one mile, under the first-class light skill rush, did not take long, however, to Mo Wen's annoyance, under the rock at the agreed place, there was no figure of the girl, but a white note could be glimpsed, waving in the wind.
The note reads that there has been a temporary discovery again, and I want not to ask to chase it to the east.
(She doesn't know martial arts alone, why is her foot so fast?Running outside alone, isn't she afraid of bumping into Chirez?)
I secretly wondered, but I had only left a few steps when I suddenly heard a loud bang behind me, and a violent explosion occurred under the rocks, and the earth and rocks flew sideways, and the powerful power even made the ground faintly shake.
“......”
Mo Wen dodged the falling rubble, looking confused.
"What's going on? It doesn't have to be so earth-shattering to eliminate the whereabouts!"
He didn't have much time to think about it, such a loud explosion was heard from afar, and the people of the Wolf Howling Knights would definitely come immediately, and if they were a little too late, they would be surrounded by a heavy siege.
Hearing a faint human voice in the distance, Mo Wen didn't hesitate any longer, started his light work, and ran towards the agreed place.
This woman is so dangerous that you can't even leave her......
In the run, Mo Wen has such an idea, to such an alarm, the knights will immediately search the surrounding area, do a joint search, this is a big trouble, if the enemy is alert, it will not be easy to sneak in, in this case, is today's operation to be forced to give up?
What does the mutation on the note mean?
If you're lucky, you might be the key to turning things around......
Mo Wen shook his head, such an idea is too wishful thinking, but in the current situation, the more chips in his hand, the better.
That's it, Mo Wen ran three places with the note, and whenever he left, the agreed place must also be blasted, Mo Wen felt a little unusual, playing this kind of spy to spy game, it is indeed Ailing's style, however, now should not be a good time to play the game!
Moreover, if one is not right, won't he become a target?
Relying on the induction between the knights, Mo Wen was sure that a considerable number of knights behind him had left the guard place and were tracking down with the sound of explosions, and the first few were even within half a mile.
"It's a pity, it's rare to have this good opportunity to turn the tiger out of the mountain, now is a good time to sneak in!"
In order to play games with this stupid woman and lose a great opportunity, Mo Wen felt choked, but when he was about to go to the next agreed point, the idea just now turned into a dark ominous atmosphere and hit him hard in the chest.
"Wait, won't it ......"
An explosion woke him up, and the ominous premonition made Mo Wen tremble deeply, the explosion came from the south......
"Oh no, that stupid woman!"
Thinking of the current development of things, Mo Wen was shocked, and hurriedly started light work and ran back as fast as possible.
(Oops, but don't get lost.) )
Using special tools to sneak underground, Ailing muttered in a low voice.
A silk object like a cloth bag wrapped around the girl's body, and the dirt on the left and right, as if pushed by some force, burst to both sides, until the girl left, and then poured back like a tide and returned to its original state.
"The sac of Bobus" is a prop made by the dwarves during the Kyushu War, which is extremely sought-after in the demon world, and it is also spread in the human world, but the material used to make the silk sac is extinct in the human world, and it can only be found on a demon plant, so the "sac of Bobus" rarely flows to the human world.
The silk sac itself is extremely strong, can resist rapid temperature changes, and will also block the breath of the creatures in the sac, to achieve the effect of latent form, the dwarves at that time often relied on it to hunt and avoid enemies.
Prosperous. Beethoven's studio, there are several such silk sacs, Ailing left home with the sheep, relying on this silk sac to avoid a lot of danger, the last time she sneaked here, but also rely on the cover of this prop, otherwise with her skills, a little action, has been discovered by the knight, how can she escape with her whole body.
Using a special periscope, Ailing determined that at least half of the knights had been dispersed, and according to the time of the first explosion, Mr. Mo Wen should have arrived at the last agreed point, and the explosion in the south would disperse the pursuers, with Mr. Mo Wen's skills, it should not be difficult to get out, then, there would be no problem.
This is a great opportunity to infiltrate the enemy's formation, as long as everything goes well, relying on this set of silk sacs, there is a sixty percent hope of retrieving the obsidian mirror, which is enough.
If there is a cover from Mo Wen, the chance of success will surely increase!
Ailing understands this, but she is not sure that she will be able to keep her partner safe, and she will have to face so many enemies who are expected to be internal and unexpected, and they are likely to dissect the enemies who are pouring in from all directions the moment their whereabouts are revealed.
Retrieving the obsidian mirror is an unchangeable wish, in order to achieve this goal, Ailing has already realized that she is willing to gamble her life for this, however, this is not a matter of concern, he is only hired, for his own righteousness, honor, and has been with him until now, there is no reason to be asked for more.
Hey!
I'm not that stupid.
After all these days, Ailing could clearly feel that Mr. Mo Wen was constantly hesitant to continue the journey, and several times, if he hadn't suddenly changed his mind, he would have brushed his sleeves away.
The reason for wanting to leave is not simply dissatisfied with the journey, from Mo Wen's gloomy expression and the occasional sarcastic smile on his lips, Ailing understands that this man is the same as himself, he has a heart that he can't solve, and there are more important things waiting for him to solve.
So, let's break up here!
In order to eliminate her own regrets, but caused others to regret even deeper, this kind of thing, Ailing can't do it, maybe her father will think it's too immature, but Ailing didn't think she could complete the recycling work in the first place, just like her past record of failure.
For accompanying himself and enduring all the clumsy Mo Questions, Ailing has a heartfelt gratitude, and the rest of the part is done by himself, just do your best.
Of course!
If the recovery work can be successfully completed, Ailing will repay the arrears of employment fees, but it depends on the will of God.
His name, Li En, is the squad leader of the Knights of the Wolf Howl, born in the nobility of Eltino, has received advanced martial arts training, and in terms of personal strength, he is considered a good player in the regiment.
Joining the Wolf Howling Knights is because of personal interest, he likes to listen to people's howls, sword blades cutting bones, and the sound of blood spurting, especially after playing with the man, he slashes it with his sword, looking at the warm red liquid, dyed with snow-white **, and the excitement generated at this time will even make him forget who he is.
However, the official will not forget that even as a local nobleman of Altino, if there is no reason to kill innocents indiscriminately, even if he can escape criminal responsibility, his reputation will inevitably be stained, and when he applies to join the first-class knights, he will be discriminated against, so he joins the Wolf Howling Knights anonymously, which allows him to kill happily and hone his swordsmanship in a pleasant enjoyment.
Today, he's going to kill again.
I don't know where the stupid thief came from, approached the warning area, and made so much noise that the bloodthirsty knights chased after him.
Li En's light body skills were excellent, he shook off his subordinates and tracked it alone, and with a bit of luck, he found the enemy's trace.
It was a silver-haired boy, with long loose hair covering his face, and a light blue military uniform washed to a white color, obviously a down-and-out swordsman who came from nowhere, is his strength......
Judging from the qi he feels, martial arts can probably only be regarded as a third-rate, small role.
"Hmm......"
originally wanted to greet his partner, but after a thought, Li En closed his mouth and sneered slightly.
In this ghost mountain where birds don't, it's been boring for more than a month, and I can't kill the few remaining slaves to vent my desires, it's really boring, it's rare to have a good opportunity, how can I give it to others, of course, I have to keep it for myself and enjoy it.
Seeing the silver figure that was gradually getting bigger, Li En was excited, drew his beloved long sword, and half-crouched down, ready to give him a fatal blow when the enemy passed by.
He has absolute confidence in his own strength, which can be proved by the fact that he can track down the enemy ahead of his companions, but he still likes to sneak attack, which is a matter of personal interest, and seeing the attacked party, holding his stomach on the ground and wailing, always makes him happy for a long time.
The enemy was already fifty feet away, which was a good distance, and the knight licked his lips, and the sword in his hand was ready.
In Li En's mind, bloody scenes had already surfaced, and he decided, wait a minute, he wanted to dismantle this person, first cut off his left hand, and then ......
"Whew!"
The sound of the breaking wind sounded, and Li En unleashed a sword that had been gathering momentum for a long time, and all the movements were so flawless that an intoxicated smile appeared on his face, and he could even feel the sensation of hot blood splashing on his face.
However, none of this happened, no, it should be said that it was in a different form.
At first glance, the other party was not surprised, but seemed to be annoyed, the soles of the feet did not stop, the right hand pushed along the trend, opened the button, out of the sword, drew an arc, the sword move came first, the strange thing is that the blue-white lightsaber was faintly rippling cyan rainbow.
The rainbow flashed, and in front of Li En's eyes, a green lotus, sheng. Open. Bloom. Put!
The next moment, the silver figure disappeared from the retina, and Li En was surprised to find that his body flew up lightly and retreated sharply.
No, not the whole body.
He saw a very absurd scene, his body was missing something above the neck, and the hand holding the sword was still stabbing upwards at this moment.
"Ahh
The silver-haired figure hurried away.
After sneaking for a quarter of an hour, Ailing was hindered, the touch in front of him became hard, the smell of earth disappeared, and replaced by the dampness peculiar to rocks, Ailing reached out and touched it, and finally affirmed that there was an underground building of the enemy in front of him.
After the transformation, the silk sac has the function of crossing the rock wall, Ailing took a deep breath, concentrated, and took a big step forward, crossing the rock wall, and entering the interior of the building.
Taking off the silk sac and putting it in the inner pocket of her waist, Ailing looked at her standing.
It looked like a storage room, with a stray pile of clothes, and seemed to be a good luck for a thief.
Ailing quickly changed into a piece of clothing, who the original owner was unknown, but judging from the emblem on his left shoulder, he must also be a member of the Wolf Howling Knight.
Dress well, fortunately, there is a hat on the ground, there is this costume to cover up, plus the underground light is not clear, the vision is dim, should be able to help the boss a favor.
Pushing open the wooden door, Ailing carefully poked her head out, and after making sure that there was no one around, she crept out and moved forward silently.
Outside the door is a corridor, there are no torches, there are no lighting appliances, everywhere is dark, except for the faint sound of dripping, there is no sign of life, this is indeed convenient for Ailing's action, she took a deep breath, took out the measuring instrument, to decide the direction of the next step.
The function of the obsidian mirror, Ailing is well known, if in the demon world, it is just an ordinary magic prop, but in the human world, it has become a powerful magic weapon, it uses moonlight as an energy source, greatly increases the user's mana, and can even open the corresponding realm channel, to call out the creatures of the demon world.
However, if the user's mana is insufficient, what can be summoned is a low-level creature in the demon world like the red-eyed demon ape, so in order to make up for this shortcoming, the demon Taoist often uses spells such as fusion techniques to biochemically transform the summoned creatures, such as the Susheng sink discovered by Mo Wen, which is a must for biochemical transformation.
The scale armor found on the body of the red-eyed demon ape is the best proof that this group of creatures has been transformed to a certain extent after being summoned, and if this kind of operation is still going on, then the place where the obsidian mirror is located must exude extremely powerful magical energy.
The structure of the underground is very complicated, Ailing is not very clear, but from the reaction of the instrument, it seems that there is a powerful magical energy operating in the west, it may be some kind of formation, enchantment, or it may be what he is looking for.
There was no other choice, so Ailing began to trot and ran west. She prayed for only one thing, to settle things before anyone realized what the obsidian mirror was really for......
