Chapter 1: Hunt and Kill

Next Chapter

The first snow of early winter fell for a day, until heavy snow covered the vast forests of the Wangping Mountains.

It was almost evening, and the heavy snow gradually stopped, but the bleak wind stirred the scattered snowflakes and made a whimpering sound, shuttling and crashing wantonly in the vast forest sea.

On the snow, a young woman was struggling to move forward, although the woman was a little disheveled and her hair was disheveled, but she revealed a compelling extravagance. She was dressed in a pale green dress, embroidered with pale blue peonies on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads, and covered with thin smoky green veils of gold silk. The sideburns are like knives, the eyebrows are like strokes, and the head is obliquely inserted with jasper dragon and phoenix hairpins. A long black hair like silk, flowing like a spring against the white snow.

The woman has a baby in her arms, who has fallen asleep, and the woman protects the baby's head with one hand to prevent the snow from falling on the baby's face, and the other hand wraps around the baby's body, and her feet are laboriously moving forward in the deep snow.

As the snow subsided, she stopped and looked back, and there was already a trail of footprints behind her. After a short pause, she stopped to lift her breath, and suddenly rose from the snow, only to see her toes on the dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground, floating forward on the snow, and in an instant she was seven or eight meters away. When she looked back, there was hardly a trace of footprints.

After a short rest, the woman went on like this several times, and gradually lost her strength, and had to stop and rest by a large tree.

She picked up the baby in her arms and looked at it with kind and loving eyes. The baby was breathing evenly, the folds on his little face had not yet stretched, and there were still some blood stains on his forehead, which looked like a newborn baby. The woman lowered her head and put her mouth to the baby's small mouth, slowly spit out the only remaining breath of true qi in her body to the baby, looking at the baby's gradually ruddy little face, the woman put her face on the baby's head, her eyes were full of tears.

Suddenly, the woman stood up alertly and listened intently. Four sharp arrows flew in front of her, and the woman dodged behind the tree, and all four arrows were inserted into the trunk of the tree, which was a foot deep.

The woman turned around and ran deeper into the woods with the child in her arms, observing her surroundings and trying to find a safe place to put the child down. Suddenly, there was a hole under her feet, not good, there was a trap! She immediately retracted it, and rolled over, avoiding the collapsed snow.

When she looked closely, the place where she had just stepped on was a wolf's den. A she-wolf with red eyes was staring at her, and behind the wolf was a pile of hay, on which several wolf cubs that seemed to have just been born were wriggling on the haystack.

The she-wolf pounced viciously, trying to tear apart the uninvited guest in front of her.

The woman listened attentively to the movements, and it was estimated that about a dozen people were rushing from three directions at this time, and at the same time calmly waved her fingers in the direction where the wolf came from, which happened to bounce on the jaw of the she-wolf. The she-wolf snorted and fell on her back in front of the woman.

The woman immediately stepped forward and stepped on the she-wolf's neck with one foot, and knelt on the she-wolf's two hind legs with one foot, so that she could not move. She quickly placed the baby she was holding on the wolf's belly, untied a garment from her body, and tied the baby firmly to the she-wolf's belly.

After she let go, the she-wolf jumped up from the ground, wondering why her body suddenly sank, the woman reached out and patted the she-wolf's back gently, and the she-wolf seemed to be frightened, and suddenly rushed out, and ran away into the forest without looking back.

After a while, more than a dozen black-clothed people surrounded the women. But they didn't dare to rush forward, they were all stunned, looking at the woman sitting on the snow and munching on some living thing, with blood flowing from her mouth, and the snow in front of her and around her was also dyed blood red, the scene was very terrifying.

At this time, a large group of people arrived closely and surrounded the scene. The leader was a man riding a tall black horse and wearing a black cloak. "Don't take it for me yet!" he waved his hand, and more than a dozen men in black swarmed up.

These black-clothed men did not hold weapons in their hands, and they obviously intended to capture them alive, and it could be seen from the figures and steps of these people that they were all masters of martial arts.

Seeing that two or three black-clothed people were about to rush to the woman, the woman stood up, but when she saw her slightly turned her head, with a "pop", she spit out a bone from her mouth, and a black-clothed person who rushed to her head had not yet come back to her senses, and was pierced into her eyebrows by the bone, and a huge force bounced him back, turned over and fell to the ground, and the blood spit out of his mouth drew an arc in the air, which was very terrifying.

Then, the woman bent slightly, stretched out a leg under her skirt, turned suddenly, and made a circle on the ground with her foot, which immediately stirred up a burst of snow, forming a curtain of snow around her. At the same time, the woman's two hands had tightly grabbed the two black-clothed men who rushed in front of her.

The black-clothed people who rushed behind stopped when they saw this, and they were still condensing, but they saw a black shadow flashing in the snow curtain, and the two black-clothed people were thrown out left and right, and smashed on the five or six black-clothed people in front, and the left and right people were smashed backwards, and two of them hit their heads together, and immediately burst out, red and white splashed, and the scene was very bloody.

Seeing this scene, the man in black in the back showed fear and jealousy, and was in a dilemma. Seeing the woman's long sleeves wave, the two clothes belts separated left and right, and stopped the two black-clothed people, and without waiting for the two to react, the sleeves shook and closed, and the two people actually rose into the air and flew towards the woman.

After the woman reached out to catch the black-clothed man who flew over, she sent it out with all her might, and the two black-clothed people who were bound by the clothes belt flew out again, knocking the two black-clothed people in front of her to the ground, and then dancing up and down with the clothes, the two black-clothed people were like two meteor flying hammers, which were wielded by the woman at will. Suddenly, black clothes, white skirts, flying snow, and leaves flew up and down on the snow, stirring up and forth.

The black cloak on the big black horse looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and was amazed, when he suddenly saw a flash of light in the snow, and the black cloak secretly shouted, "Not good!", immediately pulled the reins and leaned back.

I saw a golden hairpin fly in, straight into the eyebrows of the big black horse with its hooves raised and its head high, the big black horse let out a miserable neigh, turned over and fell to the ground, and lifted the black cloak on its back into the snow.

The black cloak rolled on the spot, and after jumping up from the snow, he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Kill!"

But seeing that the soldiers around him immediately fired thousands of arrows, the arrows flew overwhelmingly towards the center of the melee, completely ignoring the lives of those black-clothed men who were fighting to the death.

After a rain of arrows, everything was still, and the scene of the fight was densely packed with arrows, and there were more than a dozen corpses of black-clothed people lying around, and their bodies were full of arrows, and there was no empty place.

In the center of the battlefield, there were four black-clothed people facing all directions, standing back to back with each other, motionless, and their bodies were also full of arrows, like four big brushes stuck in the middle of the snow, and the woman in white was gone!

The surrounding soldiers were stunned, and when they didn't know what to do, they suddenly saw the bodies of the four black-clothed men standing in the center falling down in all directions, revealing the white-clothed woman standing in the middle, unscathed, and not even a single arrow feather on her body.

Seeing this, the black cloak was shocked, and immediately raised his trembling hand, and was about to swing it down, and when he gave the order to shoot another round of bows and arrows, his hand froze in mid-air and did not move.

He found that the woman in white, although she was smiling, was pale and her eyes were closed, and her hair was hanging down on her shoulders. A golden hairpin was inserted above the woman's eyebrows, submerged a few inches, and only the hairpin head was left.

Obviously, in the scuffle just now, the woman shot one of the two golden hairpins on her head at the black cloak, and the other took a selfie into her eyebrows, and she had already killed herself.

But the woman's standing body shook a little, and slowly fell into the snow.

The black cloak raised his hand in the air, staring at everything that was happening in front of him in amazement, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and immediately ordered: "Hurry, find the child quickly!"

The soldiers stepped forward and dragged the bodies of the woman and the men in black aside, and the other officers and soldiers began to search for the children.

A man in black leaned into the cave and looked at it, saying, "Report to your lordship, there are no children in the cave."

A man in black came to the black cloak and reported: "When I arrived just now, this woman was chewing on a living thing, could it be ......"

The black cloak was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, came to the cave to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that there were still a few villain bones left on the snow, and his face couldn't help but change greatly, "There is such a female devil!"
