Chapter Forty-Eight: Deep Mountains and Old Forests, Secretly Shot (Ask to Read, Ask to Read)
Zhao Ya did not take the main road, but went out of the city from an extremely secret route.
Zhao Ya knew at least three such routes, all of which Zhao Ya had secretly explored, in order to prevent him from quickly withdrawing from the city if there was a change.
When Zhao Ya climbed out of an inconspicuous gap in the city wall, the sun had already risen.
Surrounded by mountains, the Elephant Dancing City is surrounded by mountains, and not far from it is the huge Wild Elephant Mountain, in which wild beasts are rampant, and there are even more powerful beasts, and few people dare to go deep into it except for professional hunting on weekdays.
Zhao Ya didn't dare to rush in, he first stepped on the periphery, made a road sign to return in a hidden place, and then packed his bags, then covered himself with a scarf, and slowly went deeper.
At first, there was a road, but as we went deeper, the vegetation became more and more vigorous, and in the end, there was no road at all.
Zhao Ya pulled out the short knife, chopped the grass and thorns in front of him, and opened up the road with difficulty.
Although he knew that hunting was difficult, he still didn't expect it to be so difficult.
After walking for so long, Zhao Ya didn't encounter anything except an unlucky hare.
However, Zhao Ya was not discouraged.
He didn't fantasize that he would be able to return with a full load when he went out hunting for the first time, but this time it was more about exploring the road and getting familiar with the environment.
In this way, Zhao Ya walked for more than an hour, and it was not until near noon that he really walked into the interior of Wild Elephant Mountain.
There are large areas of primeval forest everywhere, and it is easy to get lost if you don't pay attention.
Zhao Ya also became more and more cautious, leaving hidden road signs every time he walked.
When they arrived, there were more wild animals, but most of them took the initiative to avoid Zhao Ya.
For these animals, the vigorous qi and blood on Zhao Ya's body and the short knife in his hand all represent the word danger, so they should naturally be avoided from afar.
Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to chase it, but took out a notebook from time to time to write something down on it.
Lunch was a piece of earthworm jerky and water, and after Zhao Ya finished eating, he was ready to walk a little further before going home.
Otherwise, before the sun sets, I can't leave this wild elephant mountain.
Even Zhao Ya, who was already a martial artist of the Second Realm, would never want to spend the night in this wilderness, because it was too dangerous.
As he walked, Zhao Ya suddenly stopped, because he found that the grass and trees in front of him had traces of being trampled.
The marks were fresh, and there were a few drops of blood mixed in.
Zhao Ya immediately took precautions.
It seems that it should be the traces left by the hunter chasing the prey, and Zhao Ya has also encountered the hunter who entered the mountain along the way, but he has avoided it from a distance.
After all, in this deep mountain, no one dares to guarantee whether the other party is good or evil.
In particular, these hunters are in groups of three or five once they are dispatched, and they are extremely experienced in the field.
I'm alone, and if I meet the other party, it's always a trouble.
However, this place is already located in the depths of Wild Elephant Mountain, and he didn't expect to meet Orion, so Zhao Ya couldn't help but follow the traces and chase down.
He wanted to see what kind of prey was worth adventuring in the mountains, so that he could be prepared for the next visit.
After walking for more than a mile, the traces became more and more obvious, but Zhao Ya's face suddenly changed.
Because he faintly heard the sound of a fight ahead.
Zhao Ya immediately used his light body technique and ran towards the place where the voice came from.
At this time, behind a boulder a few hundred meters away, three people were besieging a man, and there was a huge deer lying on the ground.
These people were all dressed as hunters, and the besieged people had been injured, but the mountain opening knife in their hands did not show any decline, and even forced the three of them to retreat again and again.
Seeing this scene, the three simply stopped attacking and instead adopted a fighting strategy.
For they knew that the hunter's injuries would get worse and worse as time went on, and that it would be easy to clean him up then.
Not only that, but while fighting these three people, they also used words to stimulate the besieged people.
"Niu Yuan, I advise you to save your strength, surrender as soon as possible and give us this giant deer, we can spare your life."
"That's right, if you continue to fight like this, you will definitely die, why bother for a giant deer?"
The besieged man's face was pale, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Fart, this giant deer was hunted by me after many days of hard work, why should I give it to you?"
"And even if I give it to you, you won't let me go, Deng Daqiang, we all eat Orion's food, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Deng Daqiang smiled, "It's good that you know, it's strange that you are too greedy and want to swallow this giant deer alone, then it's no wonder that our brothers are ruthless." ”
Saying that, the three of them continued to fight, not giving Niu Yuan any chance to get close at all.
Niu Yuan's heart gradually sank.
Because he could feel that with the passage of time, his physical strength was constantly decreasing.
The wound on his back was also bleeding, and if he continued like this, he would be consumed alive by these three people sooner or later.
But Niu Yuan didn't have anything to do about it.
Because it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, force is the root of everything.
blame yourself for being negligent for a while, and was successfully attacked by the three of Deng Daqiang, otherwise how could the three of them get themselves.
Niu Yuan gradually fell into despair, and suddenly stumbled under his feet, and the mountain knife in his hand almost escaped.
Deng Daqiang's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately rushed forward at the right time and raised his knife to chop.
Niu Yuan was miserable in his heart and was about to wait for death.
At this moment, he heard a loud sound, and then an arrow flew through the air and nailed to Deng Daqiang's throat.
Deng Daqiang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe all this.
At the same time, a figure leaped out from behind the boulder like a tiger.
The remaining two were caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, and they didn't think about fighting back until the figure got close.
But it was too late, and I saw two sword lights slashing, and the heads of these two people flew out immediately.
Dead bodies fell to the ground.
All of these changes happen in a time of lightning.
Niu Yuan was also stunned.
Zhao Ya unhurriedly took off the sleeve arrow nailed to Deng Daqiang's throat and put it in his bag, and then turned to look at Niu Yuan.
"You're a hunter in the mountains?"
Niu Yuan sobered up and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes!" ”
Then he looked at Zhao Ya with some fear, not knowing what this suddenly appeared martial artist wanted to do.
In fact, everything that happened just now, Zhao Ya saw it behind the boulder.
The reason why he made a move, of course, was not to seek justice, but he suddenly felt that this Niu Yuan was a very suitable candidate.
After all, being able to catch an obviously alienated giant deer in this deep mountain and old forest shows that its hunting skills are superb.
And this is what I lack the most.
