Chapter Fifty-Six: The Night of Fireworks
In the dense forest in summer, even if you are out late at night, you can feel the humidity in the forest, which has reduced the fighting spirit of Qingjiu more and more, but a calm mood suppresses the anxiety.
Modern people rarely understand the impact of horses, and even if the horses fail to charge, their strong bodies and formed troops are still not to be underestimated.
Qingjiu stood in front of him with his sword in both hands, motionless.
The Bone Knights didn't know from which dynasty they had awakened from, wielding scimitars.
Suddenly, at the moment when the two were staggered, Qingjiu moved, his feet were wrong, avoiding the two war horses that came with a strong wind, his right hand turned, and a bright moon appeared in the palm of his hand, followed by two heads flying high.
But this is the battlefield, and no one has ever paid attention to one-on-one wheel battles.
Before Qingjiu could breathe a sigh of relief, a five-person team touched up, the angle was insidious and tricky, and went straight to Qingjiu's three ways, the white blade with a vast aura, and the two spears kept drawing circles in the air to block all possible retreats.
If it is replaced by ordinary people who can't avoid tacit cooperation at all, they may choose to break the formation with force.
Qingjiu reached for a black bag around his waist, which contained black powder, which was a loophole in his waist, which was a loophole in his own homemade black gunpowder.
With a lead, the compacted black gunpowder formed a simple bomb, and the white bone knights did not understand the power of modern firearms, so they took the sparkling improvised bomb in a daze, and then there was a thunderous roar.
The power is not strong, but it is enough to tear open a hole, Qingjiu, who blocked his ears early, seized this opportunity, and the slender crystal long sword split the white bone cuirass that was still confused and frightened, with a few strands of charred black hair, followed by the sound of the head smashing to the ground.
Immediately after that, two long green arrows flew from a distance, hitting the eyebrows of the two knights accurately, and Qingjiu didn't have time to say a meaty word of thanks, so he bullied forward, and with the help of the dust splashed when the war horse fell to the ground, ghostly passed through the middle of the two war horses, and struck into the full moon formation.
Later, he used his own technique of making crystals to create a shield that was half a person high, and became a one-handed sword warrior in ancient times, slashing left and slashing vertically, killing thirteen white bone warriors in a row.
But as his face became more and more pale, and he saw the end in one breath, and the army of white bones woke up from the shock of the gunpowder explosion, and once again rushed in without fear of death, a thought flashed in Qingjiu's heart.
"Hey, boy, can you make a more powerful trick for me to change my breath? Just one go. ”
Jiang Qiu, who was far away at the top of the hillside, had a spirit with his heart, he was a person who knew what to do at what time, and a long arrow with a charged force roared by, exploding in the most crowded place of the White Bone Knight.
First there was a flickering shadow, then a skeleton that flew into the sky involuntarily, and finally the neighing of the broken gold stone.
When the dust and smoke cleared, a hole about two meters wide appeared on the ground, and a small green dot that was extremely imperceptible was deeply embedded in the earth, which showed the strength and power of the earth.
The surviving white bones glanced at each other, grabbed the frightened war horses, and rode out of the dense forest, vigilantly guarding the edge of the dense forest, and at the same time did not forget to hold the shield on their heads to prevent Jiang Qiu's sneak attack.
Qingjiu gasped heavily, tonight was the most painful battle for him, unlike the previous days when he just sneaked to Bai Gu's side, slashed a few knives and chased each other, tonight it was a real head-on enemy.
Imagine that one person is stationed with a sword, and one person is supported by a bow, facing more than a hundred cavalry, Qingjiu feels that in the future, he will already have the capital to brag at the wine table, even if he dies here tonight, he will not lose at all, in this way, Qingjiu slowly moved forward, but was blocked by a green long arrow.
Qingjiu pondered for a moment, stopped, and began to retreat, meeting Jiang Qiu by a stream, the white bone knights did not stop, but followed from a distance, did not leave or approach.
Jiang Qiu walked over, listening to the white bone skeletons that were still wailing before they were completely dead, he walked over without joy or sorrow, cut off their heads one by one and hung them in the woods, and then waved at the white bone knights who were still wandering in the distance, pointing into the distance, as for whether they could understand what they meant, Jiang Qiu was not clear.
"Why don't you keep hunting?"
Qingjiu tentatively tasted the stream water, and after finding that the taste of the sea water was very weak, he took a big sip and asked puzzled.
"The Bone Skeletons can't be killed."
Jiang Qiu said: "At least relying on you and I to want to destroy these hundred or so people, it's not enough. ”
Liu Ye stood under a tree, looking at the skull that had been hung up by the master, thinking that this should be considered terrorism, right?
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Suddenly, Liu Ye seemed to understand that the adult world didn't seem to be calculated purely by age.
But what exactly does it rely on, Liu Ye has not fully understood.
Qingjiu looked back at him, and there was a sense of closeness in the heart of this man who had just entered his thirties, and he was the youngest and most vigorous man.
Some people have never met each other but are born to be friends.
Jiang Qiu looked at his slightly generous and benevolent pupils and said, "The reason why I will fight with you tonight is because I hope the white bones can understand a truth. ”
"What's the truth?"
"I'm going to tell them that when the first hero stands up against the bloody violence, it will bring the rest of the people together one after another, and then they will have to pay a greater price if they want to eat our team. I don't know...... Their purpose, but it is clear that the cost of eating us far outweighs the gains, and perhaps they will withdraw themselves. ”
When he said this, Jiang Qiu spoke very righteous words, so that the dragon beast hidden behind the curtain would be more or less touched in his heart.
Qingjiu smiled: "I'm not a hero, just a sloppy man who likes to fantasize, brag, and drink." ”
"But the bones count...... Creatures? They are afraid, as we have just concluded, but this kind of cruel and murderous thing will give up its instincts just because of fear? ”
Jiang Qiu nodded, "It's because we don't have enough people, if we have ten people, or a little more...... A hundred people who can stand up tonight......"
Jiang Qiu laughed at himself, "Forget it, when I didn't say it." ”
Qingjiu had a sign in his heart because of Jiang Qiu's words.
Why don't you take this opportunity to join forces with the guy in front of you and establish a guild? I can be the vice president.
It's always much better to win over a reliable teammate than to go it alone. Tonight, the two joined forces to kill more than fifty cavalrymen, but most of the qi in the body has been consumed, especially Jiang Qiu, who continuously uses qi to transform longbows and arrows, each arrow is a consumption that is difficult to recover quickly, and then counting the use of qi to strengthen the body's senses and muscles, the consumption is extremely increased.
Wouldn't it be easier if they could be like the cavalry, with dozens of people cooperating with each other?
While he was thinking, Jiang Qiu dragged the daze Liu Ye to his side, looked at her slightly emaciated face, and asked in a teacher's tone, "Are you afraid?" ”
Liu Ye shook his head, "In Tianyang City, I race every day, and the speed and excitement are not comparable here." ”
"Wrong."
"Wrong?"
"You think it's exciting to race in Tianyang City because you know you won't die, and you try the feeling of death on the premise of that, so you think it's fun. In the Thousand Islands Plain, you are based on the premise of death and groping for a way to survive from it, which is completely different. ”
Jiang Qiu looked at Qingjiu, "And the bystander is clear, this big brother thinks that he can continue to chase and kill, but in my eyes, it is a stupid person who has extremely serious dark circles under his eyes, his eyes are full of bloodshots, he has to take a few breaths after walking a few steps, and he is about to fall asleep, if he continues to chase and kill just now, at most let him hack ten white bone skeletons to death, and he will start to enter the countdown to death." ”
Qingjiu said helplessly: "I'm not as serious as you say, right?" ”
Jiang Qiu ignored his words and said to Liu Ye: "And you, in my opinion, facing a bloody scene for the first time, are actually trembling with fear, and you still want to rush up and fight to the death with the White Bone Knight, which is an absolute stupid behavior." ”
Jiang Qiu is not a good teacher, but pursues his concept of behavior, "I always feel that sleeping when you should sleep, killing when you should kill, what to do when you do, you go to the bar all day long to play late at night or even don't go home at night, I don't care, but this will make you mistakenly think that killing is like drinking, as long as you work hard, you can still pour a mouthful after spitting it out, which is not right." ”
Jiang Qiu stretched out his palm and flipped it over, "You should understand your body first, your ability, and then your opponent. ”
It's coming, it's coming.
The long-lost master spoke at length, and every elder of Willow Leaf was angry with her behavior of going to the bar every day, and would always pull her over from time to time to teach her a lesson, and Willow Leaf was annoyed to death about it.
Liu Ye raised her head sadly, "Master, I want to help you, besides, who is this girl?" ”
"Master, blaming me every day will seriously hit my self-motivation."
Jiang Qiu muttered, "It's much better for someone to scold you than for no one to care about you." ”
That's true.
Liu Ye is not tall enough, he can only see the master's jawline when he looks up, the master at this moment seems to be very sad, as if he is missing his family, Liu Ye wants to raise his hand to touch the master's face, but as soon as he lifts it, he puts it down and makes an embarrassing butt scratching action.
Jiang Qiu didn't forget to nag, "It's okay to drink some wine in the future, it's a big deal to get drunk, but don't learn to smoke, that's not a good habit." ”
Liu Ye muttered, "You're more annoying than my dad." ”
On the way back to the trio, the white bone knights in the distance were still following them, but it was obvious that they were already afraid, or planning a new round of attacks.
Distance does not necessarily produce beauty, it can also produce hatred and fear.
If the larger and larger teams want to return to Broken Slope City and survive with the help of the walls, they must dispose of this tail, and the situation of the remaining islands is unknown, but the streams are connected to many islands, and the corpses in the rivers seem to have revealed that the Thousand Islands Plain is suffering an unwarranted disaster.
In the next few days, there was finally no harassment from the Bone Knight in the night, and everyone had a few restful sleeps.
But both Jiang Qiu and Qingjiu knew very well that the closer they were to Broken Slope City, the closer they would be to death.
After a break, Qingjiu found Jiang Qiu and saw that this guy was cutting grass to feed the cow, and the buffalo looked disgusted, munching on the bones and tender meat of the fatty fish.
Qingjiu said curiously: "You ...... these Are you familiar with the Kuril Plain? ”
"I have observed you in the past few days, and found that you never seem to be tired, and you have an extremely accurate premonition of danger, and even know that the river is easy to pass, and the road is the best to take, why?"
Jiang Qiu stuffed the hay into Min's mouth and sighed, "You still grab fish and meat from me for an emergency food?" It doesn't make sense. ”
Subsequently, Jiang Qiu washed the water, supervised Liu Ye to complete today's homework, and replied: "It's quite familiar, it's mainly because I have been listening to the rumors and stories of the Thousand Island Plain for half a month, and I just associate them with reality according to the rumors." ”
"And there's one thing you're wrong."
"I want to hear about it."
"I'm new to the world, I'm only familiar with myself." Jiang Qiu had a good impression of Qingjiu, who was willing to stand up in times of crisis and be a hero of the night, and pointed to the muscles on his arm, "I am familiar with every muscle of myself, and I can even control any of them, and transmit my power like water." ”
Qingjiu was noncommittal about this, but said worriedly: "I really want to ...... Lying? It's easy for me to tell a lie, isn't it just a lie, but we're going to deceive people to die, it's ......"
Jiang Qiu was also noncommittal, "We can also take these strong people to really break through to Broken Slope City, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to die." ”
"It depends on which method you can get by."
"Do you have to do both? Is there no third one? ”
"Yes." Jiang Qiu looked directly into Qingjiu's eyes, "Fight against the water, stay at a commanding height, and wait for rescue." ”
Jiang Qiu rubbed his wrist, "But at that time, if I realized that I couldn't defeat the White Bone Knight, I would definitely flee as soon as possible, don't expect me to sacrifice my life to save people." Whether it's killing enemies with you at night, walking with the team, or saving people, the premise is that I can live, and I won't sacrifice myself to save others. ”
A few days ago, Liu Ye rarely got up early, and saw that Jiang Qiu had already gotten up to read at dawn, and she had to read for two hours no matter what, so she thought of a prank, and rubbed a ball of mud from the river to still Xiang Jiang Qiu, but he noticed it.
So the willow leaves reaped the consequences.
As long as Jiang Qiu started to get up and read, he would wake up Liu Ye, half threaten and half force her to fight, and sit Liu Ye under her ass to convince the little girl.
Hearing Jiang Qiu's words, Liu Ye smiled and said, "That's right, you can control all your muscles, and you can be hard if you want, your girlfriend is so happy." ”
Jiang Qiu smiled and smashed a chestnut down, and Liu Ye hugged his head and wailed.
Jiang Qiu reminded: "If you can't finish your homework today, you can do your own laundry, I won't help you wash it." ”
Liu Ye, who is half a waste in life, has to do it, as for the long legs, he doesn't understand this 'contrived' appearance at all, and he can't raise his interest in reading at all in the troubled times, his eyes are getting more and more confused, and it seems that it is difficult to understand what he is trying to do here.
The little tiger tooth is okay, he is happy in the bitterness, and he will dry the stream with the smell of sea water when he has nothing to do, extract a little salt, and boil fish soup to drink.
Qingjiu smiled and left.
It's a good pair of master and apprentice.
Jiang Qiu's answer was not good or bad, but it was very much in line with his impression of Jiang Qiu.
It's a lone wolf who is occasionally tender.
Finally, it was only twenty miles away from the city of Broken Slope, and if the weather was clear, the outline of the city wall could be seen.
When they were exhausted and set up camp to rest, two fireworks rose into the night sky, illuminating the tired and somewhat numb eyes of the people in the camp, and at the same time shining on the white knights who were densely surrounded by mountains.
Every time a firework blooms, dozens of bone knights will merge in, and panic has spread among the crowd, but tonight it seems that someone has specially prepared a fireworks festival, and one after another fireworks are extremely beautiful.
Jiang Qiu fell silent, pulled Liu Ye behind him, and whispered Don't be afraid, then looked over everyone's heads and looked at Qingjiu who was standing at the front.
In the past few days, Qingjiu has secretly selected a strong young man, and he wants to tell a lie and take the young man to death.
At the same time, Jiang Qiu also had a doubt in his heart, was it reasonable to verify whether humans and orcs could unite by killing?
Jiang Qiu looked at Broken Slope City, and there was another crucial question in his heart.
How many people will have enough food in Broken Slope City for how many days?
