Chapter 30: Breaking into the Strange Beast Peak at Night
(Time is a cup of two pots, black fungus, purple grapes, soft bananas, sweet and sour in the mouth.) )
Su Qin forced the old man back two steps with an arrow, and at the same time let Mu Ye run a few steps sideways, and when he turned around again, there were already two more feather arrows in his hand, since he knew that the old man in front of him was disguised by a man in brocade, Su Qin did not hesitate at all, but the old man's movements were obviously much faster than he expected, the two arrows missed, looking at Mu Ye who was running in front, Su Qin once again stretched out his right hand into the quiver on his back - grabbed three feather arrows and put them on the string, and bent the bow again!
Although I don't know how the old man's kung fu is, with Su Qin's understanding of the wizard, since this old man used to be a brother and brother with the wizard, his own kung fu should be much stronger than those Mangguo guards brought by Mo Xiao, so Su Qin did not expect the feather arrow in his hand to shoot the old man, his purpose was to disrupt the pace of the old man's pursuit.
Looking at the old man who was stunned, Su Qin's third feather arrow shot at the wolf dog running on the ground - the wolf dog with a keen sense of smell has always been the guide for the tribesmen to hunt in the mountains, and now Mo Xiao Su Mu and the samurai are eyeing not far away, if he and Makino want to avoid being followed, the best way is to shoot this wolf dog.
The feather arrow hit the wolfdog's neck, the wolfdog fell on the snow and wailed, Su Qin turned around and chased after Makino with joy in his heart, but he forgot that although the wolfdog's sense of smell was invincible, the Adis Mountains had just ushered in the first heavy snowfall, and there were clear footprints of two people on the snow.
Watching the figures of Su Qin and Mu Ye disappear in the night, Mo Xiao said to Su Mu beside him, Patriarch Su, it's up to you next.
Su Mu nodded with a gloomy face, and the remaining one-eyed looked at the direction in which Su Qin disappeared and said, I still don't believe that he has nine lives.
"How can a person who has broken the Heavenly Forbidden twice in a row be safe and sound to die so well. Mo Xiao patted Su Mu on the shoulder, "I hope that when the time comes to start a war with Qingyun City, don't let me see him again." ”
Su Mu said His Royal Highness, rest assured, this time I don't believe that he can still run out of the palm of my hand, Su Mu raised his hand after speaking, Wukemu, who had already been ready to go, greeted the people behind him, and the thirty-six people of the Xi Barbarian Clan formed a hunting team and chased after Su Qin's departing footprints under the leadership of Wukemu.
Looking at Su Mu, Mo Xiao smiled, and then said I'll say a few words to Qiao Er, Su Mu understood what Mo Xiao meant, and didn't follow forward.
Mo Xiao stepped on the snow and came to Qiao Er, Qiao Er gave Mo Xiao a fist salute, and then whispered angrily and let the goods run away.
Just now Qiao Er dodged the two arrows shot by Su Qin, and he has been thinking about whether to catch up, in the forbidden world, he has seen Su Qin duel with the cold night, he is still a little afraid of Su Qin's archery, and now when he sees the warriors of the Xi Barbarian Clan chasing Su Qin, he can't hold it back, and after saying to Mo Xiao, he secretly meowed at Su Mu and the others who were standing not far away, and said with some urgency, Your Highness, I will go after Su Qin now.
"Are you sure the Wood Spirit Bead is on Su Qin's body?" Mo Xiao turned his head to look in the direction in which Su Qin had disappeared.
"I heard it outside the wooden house of Mu Hateyu, and if it weren't for the wizard's death, he might not have aroused his suspicions. ”
"You know what I want. Mo Xiao said and looked at Qiao Er, "You want Mu Lingzhu, I want him to die, if it weren't for you in the Heavenly Forbidden, how would you have so much trouble?"
"Your Highness, rest assured this time, I left Su Qin mainly for the Wood Spirit Bead, and now I ......" Qiao Er looked at Mo Xiao with a somewhat flattering smile, "I will borrow the Wood Spirit Bead for a few days, and I will give it to His Highness when the time comes." ”
Hearing Qiao Er say this, Mo Xiao smiled and said Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news.
After receiving Mo Xiao's order, Qiao Er replied with a word of understanding, and then took a few steps back and chased along the messy footprints on the ground.
When Qiao Er walked away, Mo Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally made a decision, "Patriarch Su, send a few people to follow Qiao Er, and wait until he kills Su Qin and robs the Wood Spirit Bead and kills him." ”
Mo Xiao understands this reason when employing people without suspicion, but in his worldview, no one can believe it except himself, the two brothers who are indifferent and cold night are, and so is Qiao Er, and Su Mu heard Mo Xiao say this and just said a good word, and didn't think much about it, in his heart, he still thought about the siege of the city the day after tomorrow, and then the 50,000 tribes of the Xi Barbarian Clan would live a better life, and the alliance between the tribes and the Mangguo who were not aware of it at all was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.
――――
――――
Su Qin and Makino ran for a while, both of them had some breath, now that the snow is covering the mountain, if you are not careful, you will fall into the recess or trip over the stones, so they will walk slowly, and the two of them have just stood and rested for less than half a pillar of incense, when they saw the torches on the mountainside, and some words came.
"They followed our footprints. Makino looked at the torches below and clenched the scimitar in his hand.
"My brother's centaurs?" Su Qin could vaguely see the figure holding the torch and smiled bitterly.
Three years ago, Su Mu became a warrior of the Xi Barbarian Clan after he came out of the Heavenly Forbidden, and his power developed rapidly, unlike Su Tu, who was only responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the tribe, and now the Xi Barbarian warriors who could go to the battlefield were basically in Su Mu's hands, and Su Qin was not conspicuous, except for Mu Ye and a few other Xi Barbarian warriors who played well, basically the power that could be used was very small.
"Two more mountains will be the Strange Beast Peak of the Yue Luo Clan, right?" Su Qin looked at the mountainside in front of him and said to Muye.
"Third Prince, what do you want to do!" Hearing Su Qin say this, Mu Ye obviously thought of something, the Strange Beast Peak is the forbidden land of the Yue Luo clan, there are many beasts and plants such as man-eating flowers that have never been seen before, unlike the Heavenly Forbidden, although the Heavenly Forbidden is terrifying, but those jackals, tigers and leopards are at least often seen in the mountains.
It is said that the first werewolf of the Yue Luo tribe was found in the strange beast peak of the Yue Luo tribe in three hundred years.
"I'm not so ignorant, I hope they can retreat. Su Qin said and looked at the people who followed him, he knew very well how difficult it was to get rid of so many people without a trace of Xue now, so he had to take risks - these warriors were all good at beast hunting by the Xi Barbarians.
"Third prince, you hide, I'll go and lure them away. Makino bit his lip as he looked at the torches that were getting closer.
"You might as well run separately to lure them away and see who they chase. Su Qin smiled, looked at Mu Ye and said pay attention to your step, go to the Strange Beast Peak first.
The Strange Beast Peak is not high, the altitude is about 1,500 meters, but it is not like the Heavenly Forbidden like a cliff on one side and connected to the mountain on the other side, around the Strange Beast Peak is a long river about ten zhang wide, this river surrounds the Strange Beast Peak for a circle, and then flows eastward, the tribesmen say that this river is the perennial melting of the snow-capped mountains on the mountain - many people have doubted this, but no one can find the source along this river, it is not surprising.
"They entered the Strange Beast Peak?" Wu Kemu watched Su Qin and Mu Ye's shallow and deep footprints stretch forward, frowned for a moment, and then the corners of his eyes jumped a few times.
Wu Kemu has never entered the Heavenly Forbidden in his life, of course, he doesn't know how many beasts in the Heavenly Forbidden have become, but he knows that even if there are many beasts in the Heavenly Forbidden, there are things to prevent if he is careful, but the Strange Beast Peak is different, there are unknown beasts everywhere, just like Qin Yuan and the like, how to prevent it if it is unheard of?
This is also the reason why the Strange Beast Peak is not guarded, from the peak on this side to the Strange Beast Peak on the opposite side, there is only a small bridge built with wooden planks, the two are shoulder to shoulder wide, under the wooden bridge is the long river that is galloping, if you encounter strong wind weather, let alone enter the Strange Beast Peak, it is to walk on the bridge and accidentally fall into the river below.
"Shall we continue to chase?" asked a samurai behind Ukemu.
Less than 100 meters in front of Ukemu was the wooden bridge, and there was no one around except for two footprints on the ground.
"Keep chasing. Wu Kemu gritted his teeth and said, but when he really walked to the wooden bridge, he still stopped, there was not much snow on the wooden bridge, but he could still vaguely see the footprints of Su Qin and Muye, as for what was on the other side of the wooden bridge, Wu Kemu didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
"Su Qin, this is looking for his own death, don't blame us. Wu Kemu said and looked at the warrior behind him, then stretched out his hand and pointed at the two people, "You two go back and tell the patriarch, just say that we tracked Su Qin to the Strange Beast Peak, and we are going to keep watch here all night, and we will go back tomorrow morning." ”
The two of them listened to Wu Kemu's words, and agreed to rush to the road together, and Wu Kemu took two steps forward at this time and looked at the river below, a little dizzy, and then retreated, spitting and scolding loudly, "Su Qin, you come out for me, I know you haven't entered the Strange Beast Peak yet, see which of us can consume whom." ”
There were a few echoes in the mountains, but no one responded except for the roaring mountain wind, and Wu Kemu stopped his mouth when he saw that this trick was ineffective, and began to arrange for the people behind him to find the branches.
"Captain Wu, why don't you send someone to the wooden bridge to have a look?" Qiao Er, who had been following Wukemu and the others, came over at this time, looked at Muqiao and pondered for a moment and said something to Wukemu.
"It's too dangerous on the other side, since Su Qin has no other footprints in this place, maybe he is waiting for us on the other side, let's just wait here, and if it doesn't work when we leave tomorrow, we will cut the wooden rope on the wooden bridge." Wukemu, who was used to being arrogant under Su Mu, didn't have much respect for Qiao Er, and when he heard that he asked him to send someone over, he shook his head and said.
Qiao Er's whole mind was on the Mu Lingzhu on Su Qin's body, and when he heard Wu Kemu say this, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't refute it, he just looked at the wooden bridge quietly, thinking about whether he ventured into the Strange Beast Peak, he looked carefully when he came just now, Su Qin's footprints disappeared here, and he should have entered the Strange Beast Peak.
And Su Qin, who was hiding under the bridge and clinging to the rocks with his hands, heard Wu Kemu say this, and almost let go of his hand and fell down, and Mu Ye on the side also looked sad, they didn't expect that Wu Kemu, who usually looked big and grinning, did not choose to leave, but stayed here - and cut the wooden bridge to cut off his own way back!
Eyes exchanged with Makino, and while Ukemu and the others were looking for branches and preparing to light a fire to rest, Su Qin and Makino slowly climbed up, but they did not rush towards Ukemu and the others, but stepped on the wooden bridge.
"Wukemu!" Su Qin shouted, and then the bow and arrow in his hand shot out, hitting Wuke's thigh with a surprised face.
Watching Su Qin and Makino walk along the shaking wooden bridge towards the Strange Beast Peak opposite, Wu Kemu gritted his teeth and pulled out his feather arrow, and gave an order to the wizard of the Xi Barbarian Clan, "Cut the rope on the wooden bridge." ”
"Wait. Qiao Er stepped forward at this time and stopped Wu Kemu, and his desire for Mu Lingzhu finally overcame the fear in his heart, "I'll chase them." ”
