Chapter Eighty-Four: The Sword Flies Like Snow
After the four of them finished breakfast, the sun had already jumped out of the East Mountain, Ji Jie and Wu Zhiqi stayed in the cave to recuperate, and Ji Kui climbed to the top of the mountain around the animal skin with Xi Wen's life to lurk, each carrying a set of bows and arrows, ready to shoot the demon bird that followed behind him.
Ji Kun's Wanli Eagle came from Dongyi, only three and a half years old, although he was born strong, but his IQ was not high, at this moment after a night of repair, he flew to the sky to find the traces of Ji Wenming and others,
It was born handsome, flapping its wings in the air, and it could monitor the ground for hundreds of miles in a moment, but it searched all over the water but did not find any trace of Xi Wenming and others, lest they abscond, so it had to reduce its flying, from a height of several thousand meters, to a distance of only a few hundred meters from the surface of the river.
Ji Kui's eyes were like torches, and he had already noticed this harrier eagle hovering in the sky, not going to hunt and hunt, but it had been flying nearby, so he hinted to Ji Wenming: "Have you seen that harrier eagle? It's very suspicious, let's just target it, let's try a bow and arrow?"
Looking at the harrier eagle thousands of zhang away, the size of the wings spread out to more than ten zhang, the target was obvious, Ji Wenming had the intention to show his skills, nodded and said: "There is only one chance, let's draw the bow and shoot arrows together, so as not to disturb the beast if we miss!"
Ji Kui nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll count three times and shoot the bow together!"
Seeing that the harrier eagle was still hundreds of steps away from the top of the mountain, Xi Wen's divine thought locked on the harrier eagle, lest the bow power be insufficient, Xi Wen's life secretly contained Xuan Gong, and the spell of the wind was activated, and the arrow was covered with a layer of cyan wood yuan force, and the range was doubled again with the help of the wind.
The Wanli Eagle didn't know that it had been targeted at the moment, and it was still circling endlessly, and after a while, it approached the top of this mountain, and the cold bow sound was like a crack, and a feather arrow hit like a meteor, and it was caught off guard, and it was suddenly shot in the chest and abdomen, and it was shaky under the severe pain.
Ji Kui saw Ji Wen's arrow hit, but he was not in a hurry, and waited for the eagle to fall from the sky, one step closer to himself, then he opened the bow and released the arrow, he was experienced, the arrow left the bowstring, and hit the head of the harrier eagle with a whoosh, and immediately shot it dead in mid-air.
In the Xiahou clan, Ji Kun, who controlled the harrier eagle with divine thoughts, was depressed, this Wanli Eagle was given by his father Ji He on his birthday, and he raised it for many years, and it was quite handy to use, but he didn't expect it to die inexplicably now.
He was possessed by his divine thoughts, and at first he only felt that his vision was shaking badly, but suddenly he saw a feather arrow infinitely magnified, and then his vision dimmed, and he could no longer see the surrounding things, so he realized that he was ambushed, and he had no choice but to withdraw his divine thoughts.
Fortunately, the death of the bird controlled by the divine mind did not affect the main body, but the sudden feather arrow still made him panic in his heart and jump.
He also knew the priorities, and didn't dare to rest for too long, so he hurriedly went to report to Ji Xiang, saying that his Wanli Eagle was shot dead, and depending on the situation, the arrow was snow-white, and it should be the hand of the Dongyi people!
Ji Xiang pondered for a moment, and said: "I'm afraid that Ji Kui found out that he was being followed, so he deliberately ambushed and killed your beast, but this is okay, just to get rid of our suspicion, you tell me in detail the location of their ambush Wanli Eagle, I will inform the Dongyi side, and they will do it in the future!"
Ji Kun hurriedly said: "Those Yi people are proud and arrogant, can they do things properly? Do you want us to secretly send some warriors from the clan to cooperate?"
Ji Xiang shook his head and said: "Secretly reporting the news has violated the clan rules, do you still want to take action in person? There are their own swordsmen among the Yi people, and their strength is comparable to that of the clan elders, even if that kid has three heads and six arms, he will not escape death, you and I still don't have to worry about it!"
Not to mention how Ji Xiang reported information to Yi Ren, just said that Ji Kui and Ji Wenming cooperated to shoot the Wanli Eagle that was following behind him, and then he felt relieved in his heart, and saw that the harrier eagle fell into the river, and there was no trace, so he got up and said: "Wenming, this thief bird has finally been eliminated, but why do I still feel bad?"
Ji Wenming said: "Uncle Kui, you have been nervous for too long, so maybe it would be good to go back and rest and rest!"
Ji Kui said: "Okay, I hope that as you said, I didn't expect that there was a thief in the clan, and this matter must be reported to the clan elder when I go back, and this traitor will be found out and eradicated!"
Ji Wenming smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Jie has already reported this matter through the letter talisman and the witch sacrifice! We just need to hide and avoid the sight of the Yi people, once we reach Taoqiu, it is the territory of Emperor Shun, and we don't have to worry about being chased and killed!"
Ji Kui shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, those Dongyi people are quite brave, arrogant and uninhibited, and they have also fought with the Yan and Huang Emperors for decades, if they refuse to stop, maybe there will be a big war, we can't be careless!"
The two killed the demon bird and returned to the cave, leaving one person to monitor the river, while the rest took the opportunity to rest. It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the night began that Ji Jie woke up the people in the cultivation, ate hastily again, then extinguished the campfire and went on the road again.
In this way, day and night, for several days in a row, I did not dare to move quickly, but I was getting closer and closer to Taoqiu.
Seeing that there was no danger or danger, on this day, the four of them took advantage of the good weather and the bright moonlight, greedy to hurry, and traveled more, when the sun rose in the east, they had not yet looked for a campsite, and looked at a hill in front of them from a distance, so they let the boat go quickly, and suddenly a canoe came around from one side of the hill and went straight to the raft.
The wooden boat was made of a huge piece of wood hollowed out, pointed in front and rounded in the back, with a hollowed-out wooden core in the center, and glided fast on the water.
Seeing the raft, a man in front of the canoe stood up and waved his hand, "Hey, but the brother of the Xiahou clan, I've been waiting here for a long time!"
This person is dressed in white, with this yellow wooden bow on his shoulder, and an arrow bag inserted in his back, which contains dozens of feather arrows, and he is dressed as a Yiren at a glance, he is heroic, and the river wind blows, lifting his long hair, revealing a tough face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes are bright, but his lips are slightly mean.
Behind him, a woman dressed in white, at the helm, saw the raft, and the woman swung the oars, and the canoe moved closer and faster towards the raft.
Ji Kui clutched the penny in his hand tightly, lest he collide with the other party, and shouted loudly: "Who is here? Why are we sure that we are from the Xia Hou clan?"
The man laughed loudly: "Dongyi swordsman Hong Jianfei and Yan Ruxue have been waiting for distinguished guests here for a long time, although we lost a few traces a few days ago, but we divided into three groups of people and horses, day and night to guard this main road to Taoqiu, just for a few!"
The two laughed heartily, seeing that Ji Wenming and the others did not seem to be enemies, but as if they were friends, and reported the name from afar, Ji Kui heard the names of the two, and was shocked, and said in a low voice: "Ji Jie, the strong enemy is coming, this is a famous couple swordsman in Dongyi, one hand mandarin duck swordsmanship crisscrosses the Eastern Wilderness, the power of the two swords is doubled, we are ready to meet the enemy!"
Ji Wenming whispered, "Are you sure? Why don't I shoot them first?"
