Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 2: Hand-to-hand combat
As the night deepened, a gust of wind suddenly blew, waking up He Yi, who was leaning against the tree and pretending to sleep.
At this time, except for a few people in charge of the vigil, everyone was huddled around the bonfire to keep warm, rest, sleep, and a few soldiers set up a cauldron and threw ice and snow into the pot to boil to drink to ward off the cold.
Although the blades of these soldiers were blessed by the consecration of immortal spells, they were only to deter prisoners and prevent riots, and did not represent the true strength of these soldiers.
The mortal body has never been able to resist such a cold on its own.
"Don't run around, it's windy tonight, let's get some rest! It's the last day, and after tonight, our mission will be completed. An officer called the night watchman back and handed him a bowl of hot water.
"But... What if these prisoners escape?" asked the Nightwatchman, looking around.
It was freezing cold, and their hands and feet were already numb from the cold, and if it weren't for the fear that a prisoner would escape, the ghosts would be willing to continue patrolling.
"Run, hmph, it's all this time, and the food is all in our hands, so a fool will run away, unless he wants to starve to death in the wilderness. ”
"Also to ......"
The guards seemed to have relaxed their vigilance against the prisoners. He Yi observed silently on the side, and when the sergeants entered the tent, they got up and climbed a dead tree, smelling the smell of the wind, faintly emitting a fishy smell.
The wind grew stronger, and it seemed that an unknown beast could be heard roaring in the distance.
Holding his breath, pricking up his ears and listening carefully for a while, and then glancing in the direction where the prisoners had gathered, He Yi had some decisions in his heart.
After a little hesitation, He Yi jumped down from the tree, picked up a torch, and burrowed into a nearby path, and his figure was quickly drowned in the endless darkness, only a small red spark, like a single eye in the night.
"Big brother, that kid seems to be running away. ”
"Keep up! This kind of disobedient crooked seedling must not be kept!"
At the same time, beside a looming bonfire, the eldest brother and his two younger brothers made eye contacts, and the three of them got up at the same time, quietly following behind He Yi and burrowing into the dark path.
......
The wind was getting stronger, the black clouds were rolling, and there seemed to be thunder and lightning flashing in the sky.
He Yi walked on the barren land with difficulty, and the clothes blown by the wind were hunting.
His hair flew wildly, and his clothes flipped upside down, as if he wanted to fight with the sky.
"Roar!"
The voice of the giant beast in the distance became a little clearer, mixed with a little anger and anxiety, and then, the increasingly fierce cold breath fluttered in He Yi's ears, almost clotting blood.
Is that......
Snow Beast Xuanming!
These four words suddenly popped out of He Yi's mind.
It's actually a snow beast!
There is an old saying: "If it is a harsh winter, the cold is cold, and the wind does not come around, and the snow is in the hands of Xuanming." In this sentence, two legendary powerful monsters are mentioned - Bu Zhou and Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming is conceived from the ice and snow, and can naturally manipulate ice and snow, and wherever it reaches, it is frozen for thousands of miles and cold for thousands of years.
He Yi once learned from an ancient book that this snow beast is a priceless treasure all over its body, its fur can resist the five elements, its flesh and blood can make people wash its marrow, and its muscles and bones can be made into magic weapons.
"It seems that the so-called battlefield is just a front, and those soldiers let the prisoners come here, perhaps to find the traces of the snow beast......"
Snow Beast Xuanming!
He Yi's eyes, which were originally like a pool of stagnant water, suddenly burst out with a fanatical color, and then dimmed again.
"Thinking too much, such a terrifying existence is not something I can control... It is imperative to resolve the current crisis first. He Yi sighed, took out two sharp wooden thorns that had already been sharpened from his arms, hid next to a boulder, and then pressed the torch into the snowdrift.
The eyes of the night are extinguished.
In the wind howling, there was only a lone hunter, holding the wooden thorn in his hand tightly, waiting for the arrival of his prey.
"Big brother, that kid's torch is extinguished, what should I do? Do you want to follow?" Seeing that the fire was extinguished, the three people who followed He Yi lost their goal for a while, and they didn't know what to do.
The night was too thick, and although there was a faint moonlight, the sight was still less than half a foot away.
The eldest brother's face was cloudy, listening to the terrible wind in his ears and the faint roar of the beast, he retreated in his heart, but if he retreated, he was afraid of losing face and damaging the identity of the eldest brother.
After thinking about it carefully for a while, the eldest brother still couldn't wipe off his face after all, gritted his teeth and said: "After following for so long, it's almost the same, the wind is so loud, it can completely hide the sound, kill that kid now, and you will never be discovered by the officers!"
"That's it!"
Having made up their minds, the three of them rushed in the direction where the torches were extinguished.
"Roar!"
Thundered...
A crack seemed to crack in the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning burst out from the black remnant clouds, reflecting the entire sky into daylight.
The momentum of thunder is like a divine punishment coming, and the heavens and the earth are filled with a sense of slaughter.
This lightning deterrence was not small, startling the three of them, and they were stunned in place.
At the moment of the flash of thunder, a delicate shadow suddenly appeared on the boulder beside him, like a ghost, holding a sharp wooden thorn in each hand, and jumped down from the boulder.
The thunder light reflected his face in a miserable white color, and the slightly raised arc of the corners of his mouth was even more eerie.
"Poof"
"Poof"
This was the first time the two attendants saw the expression on He Yi's face, and then, two wooden thorns pierced deep into their throats, and they fell to the ground without even letting out a scream.
All this happened very suddenly, after killing the two of them, He Yi did not pause, took out the dagger from his waist, and pounced on the remaining eldest brother like lightning.
"Pretend to be a ghost!" The eldest brother was frightened at first when he saw the two followers killed, and after seeing clearly who was the attacker, He Yi became furious again, and quickly took out his weapon to resist the counterattack.
Boom!
Sparks burst!
The two of them fought each other in short combat, and the silver light intertwined for a moment, and then suddenly separated, but in an instant, a few moves passed.
After each stabilized his body, there was a shallow blood mark on the eldest brother's neck, and He Yi, the right shoulder was slapped by the eldest brother, and the force was bruised and swollen, and the pain was unbearable.
"Hehe, I was almost blocked by your sword, but it's a pity..."The big brother had a black face, wiped a handful of blood stains spilled from his neck, and then stretched out his tongue and licked it, and said cruelly: "It's a pity that you were hit by Lao Tzu's palm in your right arm, can you still afford to hold a weapon?"
"You can give it a try. He Yi said indifferently.
"Hmph, I'll see how long you can last!"
Boom!
While!
The palm that Fang had just received did cause some inconvenience to the movement of He Yi's right arm. He fought hard with the big brother a few more times, only to feel that his right arm was numb, and he couldn't use his strength, and when he moved slightly, it hurt badly.
He Yi had no choice but to make a false move, stabbing the big brother in the eyes with a dagger, and when the other party dodged sideways, he suddenly jumped backwards and took the initiative to withdraw from the battle circle.
"Hehe, isn't this going to work? I still said how many catties and taels, it turns out that it's just like that! Dare to kill, aren't you afraid that those officials will correct you on the spot?" After a tentative fight, this big brother almost tried out He Yi's depth, and after knowing himself and knowing the other, he was not so anxious to kill He Yi.
He Yi held the blade in his left hand and sneered: "So, you are following me here just to persuade me to go back?"
"That's right!" the eldest brother smiled and said to himself: "When I got up at night, I found that you were about to escape, so I stepped forward to stop you, but I didn't expect you to not only be unrepentant, but also killed people ruthlessly... In this way, even if I kill you, those officials will not say anything. ”
"You can't kill me. He Yi said calmly.
"Hmph! I just made a random move just now, and I haven't used my skills yet, but you've already used all your strength!" the big brother is very confident in his skills.
"......" He Yi nodded and did not refute.
This eldest brother did have some kung fu, he took advantage of the night and thunder to make a sneak attack, with or without intention, but he still didn't kill the other party in one go.
And he has been in prison for many years, eroded by the evil qi, his body is already very bad, and now he has injured his right arm by the other party, if he continues to fight hard, the odds of winning are really not good.
"But you still can't kill me. He Yi said.
"You, why do you say that?"
"How do you know that I didn't leave a back hand?" He Yi smiled slightly, quite confident.
"Then let me see!" The big brother didn't have an extra look on his face, he didn't seem to believe what He Yi said, and his move was even faster, with a double sword, as fast as an electric switch.
At this moment, He Yi's wrist moved sharply, and he threw the dagger out violently, shooting at the opponent's face.
The night was too dark, and the eldest brother followed the prestige, and could only listen to the sound, but could not see anything. He didn't dare to take it hard, so he had to dodge.
A silver ray swept sideways from the big brother, and finally with a pop, it disappeared into the darkness behind him.
"This time you don't even have a weapon, I see what else you can do!" The big brother smiled cruelly and approached step by step.
Hearing the eldest brother's words, He Yi slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.
He put his left hand on his neck, slowly grasped the pendant with pure black and scarlet beads, and then pulled it outward, and the red bead broke free from the shackles of the rope pendant and fell into He Yi's palm.
Suddenly, the wind grew stronger.
Attracted by the red beads in He Yi's palm, several gales gradually converged there, and between He Yi's fingers, there were faint red rays of light, flowing freely with the gale.
Although it is dim, it is so clear and eye-catching in this dark night.
Seeing this, the eldest brother's expression suddenly became solemn.
If it is a mortal thing, it is naturally impossible to bloom for no reason, and there is only one circumstance that can explain this situation.
What that kid is holding in his hand is very likely to be a magic weapon!
The magic weapon of the immortals!
The solemn gaze suddenly became eager and greedy, and then, the big brother suddenly made a move and rushed towards He Yi at a very fast speed!
He's going to snatch it!
At this moment, He Yi moved.
"Kill!"
Only one killing word spit out from his mouth, and the overflowing red glow suddenly increased a bit of dazzling brilliance.
He Yi's voice was not loud, but when it fell on the ears of the eldest brother, it was like a piercing magic sound in the nine heavens.
The big brother suddenly froze in place, his mind seemed to be drawn into the illusion by some force, his eyes were full of fear and incredulity, and his body kept trembling.
What did he see?
In front of him, the sunset was like blood, shining on the earth, corpses were piling up all over the field, and blood flowed into the river.
In his eyes, countless half-rotting corpses in armor crawled up from the ground, and the hollow dead man's eyes stared directly at her, very terrifying.
In the pile of corpses, He Yi strode over, his expression was hideous, his facial features were distorted, and he was covered in blood, like a demon coming to the world, his blood-red eyes were staring at him, and he was slowly piercing the long sword in his hand inch by inch into his heart...
"Ahh
The big brother screamed, and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Roar!!
At this moment, a terrifying beast roared, like thunder, resounding through the nine heavens.
This roar, straight through the ears of the big brother, wisps of mysterious red light, also quietly retreated under the deterrence of this loud roar.
At this time, all illusions were shattered, and everything in front of me returned to normal.
Seeing this, He Yi glanced back at the huge beast shadow in the distance, and secretly miscalculated, then put away the red beads on the necklace and rushed towards the darkness behind.
"Damn, dare to use demon magic on Lao Tzu, don't want to run!" the eldest brother scolded in a low voice, and just wanted to chase, but the ground suddenly began to tremble violently.
In the distance, in the black mist of the moon cage, a huge shadow like a mountain loomed in the distance, raising its head to the sky and roaring furiously.
"Oh my god... What the hell is this?" The big brother was deeply shocked by the huge black shadow in the distance, his voice was filled with fear and trembling, and his face was red and white.
Although he coveted the treasure in He Yi's hand, after this change, he didn't dare to go any further.
