Chapter 4: Hunting Squad
A sword slashed off the python's head, but Xu Bing's face did not show any relaxed look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because, at this time, Xu Bing's intuition told him that the surroundings were still very dangerous!
"Another snake?" Xu Bing secretly guarded in his heart, with the experience just now, Xu Bing trusted his transcendent sixth sense intuition very much, although there was nothing unusual in his sight, but there must be a danger that he did not find.
Xu Bing squatted down, picked up the severed snake head with one hand, and suddenly a palpitating feeling surged up.
I only heard a sound of breaking the air, extremely sharp!
Xu Bing's face changed, and he subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Xu Bing stopped his body and maintained his posture and squatted there.
"Whoosh~"
An arrow pierced through the dense forest and struck the ground, the arrow digging deep into the ground, and the tail of the exposed arrow trembled.
The place where the arrow hit was less than half a meter away from Xu Bing's position, this arrow was not aimed at Xu Bing, at least not to kill him, but more like a deterrent or warning.
Just now, just as Xu Bing was about to dodge, the feeling of palpitations suddenly faded a lot, which indicated that the danger brought by the arrows was not as terrible as imagined.
Sure enough, everything was just like Xu Bing's intuition, and there was indeed not much danger in this arrow.
"This talent of 'danger perception' is so easy to use, it is like a radar with small coverage, as long as there is danger approaching, it can be quickly alerted!" Xu Bing looked at the arrows in front of him, not only did he not feel annoyed, but he felt a burst of joy in his heart. Because this not only means that you have a life-saving talent like a cheat, but also means that there are other human beings around you besides yourself.
Since it's an arrow, it must at least be a sapient race to be able to use it, right?
If it's not human, it's not bad if it's an elf!
After a few breaths, the sound of 'salsa' leaves and dense footsteps could be heard in the dense forest.
Xu Bing had no way of judging how many people came, but there were definitely a few.
Sure enough, a heavily armed squad appeared in front of Xu Bing's eyes.
All of them were middle-aged men, burly and muscular, with shaved short hair, no armor, but uniform black leather armor, a one-handed sword at the waist, and some with a heavy tower shield or crossbow on their backs, and looked fully armed.
"Who are you?" A middle-aged uncle with pale blonde hair seemed to be the leader of the squad, only to see him step forward, holding the hilt of his sword tightly in one hand, and looking at Xu Bing with a wary expression.
The language this man spoke was strange, not Chinese, not English, a language that Xu Bing had never heard of.
But I don't know why, Xu Bing can clearly understand the meaning, and his proficiency is like a native language. This kind of understanding is not the kind of understanding that has been translated, but can really be understood, as if Xu Bing has been learning this language for countless years.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Bing opened his mouth and said: "My name is Xu Bing, I have no malice, I just got lost here!" Xu Bing opened his mouth and said that it was not his mother tongue, but the same language as that person, Xu Bing didn't know how he could, but he was able to say it.
Maybe it's because of this body...... Xu Bing thought secretly.
"Your name is strange, which principality are you from?" The middle-aged man stood there, his eyes as sharp as knives, looking at Xu Bing.
"You can also call me another name, Ronald Morton. Xu Bing explained.
"Ronald, did you kill this python?" the man stepped forward and stretched out his foot to kick the long-dead python corpse, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.
Xu Bing held the long sword from beginning to end, and his eyes looked at this group of people without any scruples.
The greed that flashed in this person's eyes just now was easily captured by Xu Bing, and the other party didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it at all.
Glancing at the other people in the team again, Xu Bing found that although these people were all on guard, most of their eyes were staring at the dead python, and their expressions were also extremely greedy.
It's just that this greed is more like a hungry refugee seeing food!
"I killed it. Xu Bing nodded and stood up with a long sword in his hand.
"Good, now it's mine!" the middle-aged man was about to bend down and take the python for himself.
Xu Bing held a long sword, and the blade was raised, directly blocking the opponent's body.
Brush! Brush!
In the team, several people quickly removed the crossbow on their backs, and the crossbows that had already pulled the bowstrings and loaded the crossbow arrows were all aimed at Xu Bing's body.
Murderous!
Xu Bing's scalp was numb, and he felt as if something was jumping in his brain, and told Xu Bing frantically...... Danger!
"I killed this python!" Xu Bing did not put down the long sword in his hand, even if he was aimed at several crossbows, he still said stubbornly.
"Of course, you killed this python, but now it belongs to me!" The middle-aged man glanced at Xu Bing, and suddenly pulled out his one-handed sword at his waist, and the blade was aimed at Xu Bing's throat, with an indifferent expression: "You either get out of here, or you will die here!"
The task issued by the Great Bandit System is for Xu Bing to rob others within ten days and sacrifice the looted property.
But I didn't expect that only one day and one night had passed, and Xu Bing not only failed to complete the task, but was about to be robbed by others!
This kind of plot development is ridiculous, but Xu Bing, who was aimed at the crossbow, couldn't laugh. It was as if something was beating wildly in his brain, like he was telling him of danger. But even if he didn't have the talent of danger perception, Xu Bing could see this from the other party's eyes, as long as he dared to refuse, it would definitely be a dead end.
The other party is definitely not a good man and a woman, they can say it and do it!
Xu Bing took a deep breath and said slowly, "You guys took this python for food, right?"
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Bing, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was slightly puzzled.
"I can see that you are all hungry, and I am hungry too!" Xu Bing pointed at the python corpse on the ground with the tip of his sword and said, "This python is very big, even if you have a small team of people, you shouldn't be able to finish a meal." As it happens, I don't have any cooking tools with me. ”
"So what?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile on his face as he listened to Xu Bing's words, as he seemed to understand what he meant.
"So, we can have a full meal together, and there's no need to do it here, don't you think?" Xu Bing said as he looked directly into the other party's eyes and kept his tone as calm as possible.
"Do you mean you?" the middle-aged man said as if he had heard some joke.
Behind him, the members of the team also let out mocking laughter.
Xu Bing let out a sneer from his mouth: "There are 9 of you and three crossbows, in terms of strength, I am definitely not your opponent." However, your men don't seem to know much about crossbows, and while all three seem to be the most aimed at me, two of them are angled across your body, and the third one is at most aimed at my shoulder......"
"And you're too careless, maybe it's because you're too hungry, but now you're standing within range of my sword!" Xu Bing's eyes stared at the leader in front of him, and his tone suddenly became cold.
Perhaps it was Xu Bing's words that stimulated them, and the middle-aged leader's face suddenly changed, revealing a murderous aura.
"But my sword is on your neck!" The middle-aged leader held the one-handed sword and gently slapped Xu Bing's cheek with the blade.
"That's right, it's a pity that my sword is very fast!" Xu Bing was unmoved, still staring at the other party: "Fast enough to kill you before you cut my neck!"
"Are you scaring me?" young man......" The middle-aged leader looked at Xu Bing with a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You can give it a try, gamble your life for a meal of snake meat, and see which of us has the faster sword!" Xu Bing said, a smile appeared on his face, like a beast, cruel and cold-blooded, making people shudder.
One second...... Two seconds...... Three-second ......
Xu Bing and the middle-aged leader looked at each other, and neither of them would take a step back.
"Malken!" the middle-aged leader suddenly shouted.
"Yes, Captain!"
In the middle of the team, a thin man with a beard on his chin that he didn't know how many days had not shaved said, holding a long sword.
"Prepare to make a fire, we have meat to eat!" the middle-aged leader jerked back his sword, sheathed it, and let out a soft groan.
"Hooray!"
"Great!"
All the team members put away their weapons and let out a cheer from their mouths.
Apparently, they were all starving, too.
Two burly team members stepped forward quickly, lifted the body of the python, tied it with a rope and hung it from a tree, and one of them pulled out a horn dagger from behind his waist, and began to peel and cut the flesh of the python neatly and skillfully.
Xu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the beating heart, and the 'sudden' beating in his mind disappeared.
"It's safe!" Xu Bing felt a little scared.
Just now, Xu Bing was actually not as confident as he seemed on the surface, it was purely a bluffing and deception.
What can kill the other person before they cut their own neck...... Xu Bing has never had this kind of self-confidence.
But if you come out to mix, you have to have a kind of single-minded spirit, no matter what you think in your heart, you don't care if you are really not afraid of death, anyway, you must not be cowardly when others put a knife on your neck!
If you don't coax, you may be able to suppress your opponent with your aura.
If you coax it, maybe the knife will really cut it!
Xu Bing can become a boss and win over a group of brothers to follow him willingly, this method has long been played to perfection.
Seeing that the two team members peeled off the python skin in three or two clicks, Xu Bing put away his long sword, walked up after the middle-aged commander and asked, "Who are you?
"We are a hunting team, and we are ready to try our luck in the Misty Forest in winter, to see if we can meet a lone monster and make a lot of money for the winter. The middle-aged leader walked to a big tree, sat on the ground with his back against the tree, and watched a group of subordinates preparing to make a fire and cook there, and had no intention of helping.
"Did you find it?" Xu Bing sat down next to him.
"No! This year's monsters have left early, and there is still a month before winter comes, but they have already begun to migrate deeper into the forest, and if you want to find them, you will have to keep going deeper. The middle-aged leader frowned, and there was a slight helplessness on his face that had been outlined by the years: "And we also had some accidents, two days ago we were attacked by an adult fox bear, killing two people, and even the food we prepared was lost...... I had no choice but to go back and walk around to see if I could meet the hibernating beasts, and if I was lucky, I could find some food. ”
Xu Bing leaned against the tree with his back and did not continue to ask.
After all, the two sides are not very familiar with each other, and there was a little conflict just now, so it is not appropriate to ask too many detailed things at this time.
But even so, Xu Bing already has a lot of information.
For example, this forest is called the Forest of Mist, for example, the current season should be close to winter, for example, there is a beast called a fox bear in this forest, such as ...... The squad is out of food, and all the personnel have been hungry for two days!
"There are so many people in this team, and they are equipped with enough weapons, but they can be attacked by a fox bear, resulting in the death of two people, and even the food they have prepared...... It seems that this fox bear should be a very dangerous beast, and it may even be a legendary magical beast!" Xu Bing thought to himself.
"Barros Chester!" The middle-aged leader suddenly turned his head, looked at Xu Bing and said, "You can call me Captain Barros!" Tell me, why did you enter the Misty Forest at such a time?"
Barros turned his head and looked at Xu Bing and asked.
Throughout, Barros' hand never left the hilt of the sword at his waist.
