Chapter 58: Cold Arrow
In the twelfth month of going down the mountain, June 22, I went to bed late and got up early for a silly day.

Dumb~
Hoarse!
To the east, a large flock of birds flew in panic from the distant woods. Survival in the wild, I didn't dare to sleep soundly, and I maintained the vigilance that a martial arts practitioner should have, but I was suddenly awakened by this noise, and suddenly opened my eyes.
Yun Duo'er was holding Lin Luoluo in her arms last night, and she leaned her head sideways on my shoulder and fell asleep.
I suddenly woke up and moved, and I also opened my sleepy eyes.
"There is a situation!" I whispered to Yun Duo'er, reaching out to grab the Daybreak Sword.
Yun Duo'er suddenly came to her senses, her eyes showed a fierce light, and I signaled her not to be impulsive yet.
I stood up, grasped the hilt of my sword, and moved my neck to loosen my muscles. The sky was just slightly bright at this time, everything had not woken up before dawn, the river was surging, the dew in the early morning was heavy, making people feel a little cool, and the charcoal fire of the fire last night on the side had no residual temperature.
By the faint light, we could probably see that after coming out of the edge of the woods, there was still an official road in the middle, and we came to the river, about twenty feet away from us, and two horses were right next to us.
Dumb ~ dumb ~
The frightened birds in the woods were constantly fluttering and flying, panicking. Judging by where the bird flies, there must be something approaching at high speed.
At the moment, there is no figure rushing out of the forest, and Yun Duoer and I have been waiting quietly.
Am I oversensitive?
Shout!
Shout!
Suddenly, two sharp sounds of breaking the air suddenly sounded!
What is that!
Crossbow bolts?
Before we could react, there was a pop and two horses, and the two horses fell to the ground and were nailed to the ground.
The horse neighed only a few times, and then stopped fluttering.
Depend on!
Don't talk about martial arts!
"Ahh What's wrong! Lin Luoluo woke up in fright and jumped up from Yunduo'er's arms.
After Yun Duo'er stood up, she stared at the lying horse for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something.
"Not good! Let's get out of here! Yun Duoer said as she stepped forward quickly to untie the wooden box from the horse's back and hold it in her hand.
"Let's go! Listen to me. Saying that, Yun Duo'er picked up Lin Luoluo with one hand and walked quickly towards Jianye City.
"Okay." I didn't hesitate, I was on my tiptoes, and I hurried to keep up.
"Let's go, let's go into the woods, not on the official road." As she spoke, Yun Duo'er burrowed into the grove next to her.
The two of them kept leaping between the branches, running quickly.
"Sister Yun Duo'er, what's wrong?" Lin Luoluo asked in her arms.
"It should be the Jiangnan Eight Monsters!" Yun Duo'er said with a solemn face.
"What's weird?" As I walked along, the wind was too strong for me to understand.
"Jiang! South! Eight! Blame! Yun Duo'er glared at me, snorting at me.
"Oh~ I heard you clearly this time." I smiled and nodded at her.
"You're dying! I don't know it yet. "Yun Duo'er saw me hanging and glared angrily.
"Amazing, isn't it?" I frowned, confused.
Yun Duoer nodded solemnly, and the pace under her feet did not decrease: "Jiangnan Eight Monsters are a well-known group of bounty people in Jiangnan, who specialize in taking orders and doing things, only looking at money, not people." usually lives on the island of the wicked on the coast of the East China Sea, and there is a saying in the rivers and lakes that 'a daughter goes to the island to do things', which is what they are talking about. ”
It turned out to be a group of killers.
Yun Duoer continued: "The Eight Monsters of Jiangnan, as the name suggests, eight strange people, tall, short, fat and thin men, women and children, the weapons they use are knives, swords, axes, hammers, spears, hooks, claws, and swords.
The eight of them used weapons as code names, and the one who just shot the horse to death with an arrow should be the best boy 'crossbow monster' among the eight monsters. This crossbow monster's light skill 'I mean Lingyun' is the best light skill in the rivers and lakes, and the speed is extremely fast, and the two of us will definitely not be able to escape his tracking now. ”
I was slightly stunned: "So outrageous? Then what are we going to run, it's dead. ”
Yun Duo'er's speed did not decrease: "We can't get rid of it, and the other seven of them can't catch up." And when we go into the mountains and forests, there are many shelters, and we will not become a living target. Marksmen are still not to be underestimated. ”
I understood: "It's still your quick response, but it's a pity that those two horses, we can only run back to Jianye City by ourselves now." ”
Yun Duo'er glanced at me disdainfully: "Let's live first." Eight monsters alone, each of them may not be as good as us. But if we are caught up and surrounded, with their cooperation for many years, we will all have to be cool. ”
I nodded, it makes sense, let's run for my life first.
Eight people, eight kinds of weapons cooperate with each other, attack from afar, open guns and hidden arrows, if they have enough tacit understanding to confront eight people head-on, Yun Duoer and I are estimated to be here today.
A ray of sunlight behind him illuminated the entire forest through the leaves, and the bright light sprinkled through the trees. The sun came out, and our bodies were completely exposed.
"Don't stop!" Yun Duo'er yelled at me.
As soon as he was stunned, he suddenly slowed down, and was yelled at by Yun Duo'er, so he hurriedly reacted and kept up with Yun Duo'er's pace.
Shout!
Boom!
It's dangerous! A crossbow bolt burst through the air, and the thick trunk of the arm that had just landed behind him exploded directly.
What a Jiangnan Eight Monsters!
"Let's go! Hidden arrows are hard to prevent, stop and you'll be a live target! The clouds suddenly picked up speed, and they leaped between the trunks of the trees in their arms.
No!
It's not the way to escape.
Amitabha...? Forget it, my Buddha didn't teach me any peerless light skills!
Although the host said that the lotus step he taught me was revised from someone else's Ling Bo micro step, and it was even more powerful than the original Ling Bo micro step, but he only learned the body method!
Can't do light work? If he knew that I was so depressed and fled, he would only laugh and beat me with a ring ruler.
In the eyes of the host, the dignified Qingxin Temple walks the world, where you need any peerless light skills, just do it!
Fists are the last word!
"You go first, I'm going to kill this one who released the dark arrow first! Otherwise, it's not a way to run away all the time. I said to Yun Duo'er and Lin Luoluo.
"You... All right? Yun Duo'er frowned.
"Amitabha! Man! You can't say you can't! "I'm very firm on my ground at this moment.
"Master will do it! We are waiting for you in front. Come on!" Lin Luoluo clenched his little fists and looked at me with a glint in his eyes.
"Hurry up, I'll catch up in a moment." So saying, I stood firm on the branches of the great tree, turned around, and faced east.
"We're waiting for you!" The clouds did not drag, and disappeared into the woods with a few breaths of the forest.
A beam of warm sunlight is scattered in the forest, full of greenery, and the light slowly forms pillars of light through the leaves, like a dream.
It turns out that sunlight also has shapes, and it turns out that everything appears meaningful.
I stood quietly on the branches, breathing in the fresh air of the forest, looking at the beautiful scenery, and it was so beautiful to be in it.
If... It's better not to kill people.
A long wait of more than a dozen breaths.
Finally, a sharp sound of breaking the air came from not far away.
Shout!
Shout!
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
