112 Ambush (2)
Ji Ruo didn't seem to understand, but Huang Chang next to him listened to it, and felt that he had gained a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, Sima Jie also noticed him, but he only glanced at him lightly and didn't say much.
Time passed imperceptibly, until Sima Jie received a signal from a secret post somewhere that the target had finally arrived. So with his order, everyone instantly hid in the pre-arranged position. Including Ji Ruo and Huang Chang, they were also hidden in a bush, each wearing a camouflage cloth with grass leaves and branches - this thing was quite similar to the kind of sniper-specific "auspicious suit" that Huang Chang knew in his previous life, and these Xianxia versions of camouflage cloth were even more detailed: not only were they filled with grass and trees to confuse the eye, but they also emitted a rather strange smell, which was enough to confuse those masters or spirit beasts with a keen sense of smell.
What's more, after Huang Chang and Ji Ruo put on this cloth, someone came over and sprinkled some powder on them, and then Huang Chang felt that the divine thoughts and spiritual senses he sent out were actually hindered to a certain extent, although it was not enough to affect him, but for the pre-Qi refining cultivators with a lower realm, as well as those martial artists who only knew a little bit about the superficial Dao method, it must be enough to blind their sensing ability.
He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart - although he was an ordinary mortal, he was not completely unscrupulous to the methods of the immortals, and people were worthy of being the spirits of all things.
So the group hid silently on both sides of a mountain road, quietly waiting for the prey to enter the hub. Soon after, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves ahead, and listening to the movement, it seemed that there was a cavalry team, and there were quite a few of them. The other party seemed to be in a hurry, and his speed of action was very fast, and he came to the left side of the mountain road after a while.
The ambushers remained motionless, and no one even looked up at their target - if there was a strong psychic master among the opponents, it would be easy to sense it if they were watched. The subordinates brought out by Sima Jie are all veterans, and no one will make such a low-level mistake. Everyone just listened quietly, anyway, for them old rivers and lakes, just hearing the sound was enough to judge the location of the target.
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the ambush circle, and after a while, I heard a horse running at the forefront suddenly let out a long neigh, obviously stepping on a trap, followed by several earth-shattering explosions and lightning and thunder - there are no strong immortal cultivators under Sima Jie's command, but the innate martial artists can also activate the Dao Talisman, and they can actually use traps to activate them remotely.
I saw several flashes of light burst out in the middle of the road, but it was several thunder and fire talismans that were pre-set there that burst out, and in an instant, the marching army column in the mountain road was blown up. Immediately afterwards, several tall trees on both sides of the road toppled down at the same time, and while smashing over several more cavalrymen, they also cut off the opponent's formation, so that they could not see each other.
After that, the ambushers on both sides started together, all kinds of bows and arrows, crossbows, throwing guns, throwing knives...... Wait for the ranged weapons to fly towards the mountain path together. Most of Sima Jie's subordinates were recruited from the Jianghu people, and each had their own unique skills. And the chaos in the rivers and lakes more or less has a long-range attack method, so the scene is a little chaotic at the moment, but the lethality is definitely not low.
Of course, most of them were bows and arrows, and Huang Chang also mixed in the crowd and kept shooting arrows downward. And his lethality can be said to be the strongest among this group of people - he uses a talisman bow and arrows! Although he made a mistake this time and played a trick of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", now he has trapped himself and is not able to show his true skills in front of Sima Jie. But as an innate martial artist, he also followed Ji Ruo, a disciple of the Kunlun faction, and the equipment was a little luxurious, so it would not cause too much suspicion.
At most, people think that Ji Ruo, who was born in the royal family and is a famous disciple of the county lord, is really extraordinary, and even the samurai entourage around him can be armed with talismans, but I don't know that even Ji Ruo himself has to ask this "entourage" for equipment.
Huang Chang shot a few arrows, and every arrow shot out was not a false shot, not only did it hit the target, but it was often even blown up with people and horses, and the killing efficiency of one person was as good as two or three next to him, which attracted Sima Jie's attention to him, and after looking at him for a while, he turned his head and smiled at Ji Ruo:
"The little county lord is so capable - even the warriors under his command can use rune arrows to fight the enemy, and they are all top-grade with one arrow and two runes!"
Ji Ruo didn't react here, just smiled silently, and acquiesced to Sima Jie's guess - these things were provided by her. But Huang Chang next to him suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but smile bitterly - he found that he was still too high-profile.
Ji Ruo didn't care about technology, so he didn't care. But Sima Jie is obviously a knowledgeable person - carving a charm on an artifact is by no means an easy task for mortal monks, and the success rate is very low, usually only about four to sixty percent, so consumables such as rune arrows that are used a lot are often single runes, that is, only one charm is engraved on them. If you want to add another charm, it will increase the scrap rate by at least half, which is rarely done under normal circumstances, because it is too uneconomical.
But the runic arrows that Huang Chang shot out at the moment were all double talismans: a "Flame Burst Talisman", which could explode if shot, and a "Exorcism Talisman", which allowed the arrows to be controlled by the master's divine mind in the air, and slightly adjusted their direction to track the target. In Sima Jie's opinion, this is definitely a local tyrant's behavior - according to his estimates, the cost of this talisman arrow, even if you don't consider the cost of the immortal family's talisman, is at least a few hundred taels of silver, because this is not only the price of the arrow itself, but also includes a large number of waste products generated in the manufacturing process!
However, for Huang Chang, these talisman arrows were actually just the simplest varieties he made temporarily, when he competed with Wang Feng in the mountains, he casually shot dozens of arrows, all of which were exactly the same as the ones he uses now - because these arrows were actually automatically processed with his self-made "machine tool"!
Huang Chang's "Xianxia version of the CNC machine tool" is currently designed with two automatic processing programs, one is to make a rune shield, and the other is this kind of rune arrow: after setting up the workflow, put a piece of wood raw material on the machine tool to "walk" around, and form out a number of arrows that have been engraved with these two runes, and then install arrows and tails, and then use the "seal treasure mirror" to deal with it, its success rate is 100%, and there is no need to consider the cost at all.
When he first designed the processing program, he was afraid that it would not be refined enough and that the runic arrows he made would not be enough, so he finally made this kind of arrows with one arrow and two runes through careful conception, which can be used as a conventional weapon that can be mass-produced for daily use. It's unrealistic to say that he is temporarily made a lower level.
Fortunately, Sima Jie also sighed casually, he didn't know much about Kunlun Mountain, and of course he didn't know what the true family background of the Kunlun disciples was, it was just like the previous Li Zhai, who greatly overestimated the degree of "local tyrant" of the Kunlun disciples in his mind.
