Chapter 7: Close Quarters Assassination
"Okay, Xingnu, you kid was so brave just now, I thought I was going to lose your brother in this life. ”
When the three of them turned over and quickly left the Moon Forest, Guinu took the opportunity to slap the meteor on the back, hoping to redeem his impression that he had no bright spots in the second lady's mind.
"Silence!"
Yan Xiaoxiao glared back at Guinu.
Meteor was speechless in his heart:
I don't know how many assassins of the Liancheng Water Family are in the Yuelin, this guy still dares to be inattentive, it's a miracle that he can survive until now.
"Star slave, lead the way. ”
Yan Xiaoxiao had already seen more or less at this time that the meteor had an unknown ability, but she didn't break it on the spot, but silently let the meteor lead the way in front.
Meteor took the lead, and all the prey on the saddle had been abandoned, including the valuable Iron Scale Python, which could only be thrown in the ambush circle, and a few captured crossbows and scimitars hung on both sides of the saddle, maybe they could come in handy later.
"This way!"
In order to avoid other battlefields, Meteor specially bypassed the road to enter the Moon Forest on weekdays, and while the Liancheng Shui family had not noticed the failure of the operation here, a group of three horses galloped at full speed in the forest, occasionally encountering wild beasts blocking the way, and before he could make a move, Yan Xiaoxiao would take action to clear the obstacles.
Tread, trample......
In the other direction of Yuelin, two young ladies of the Yan clan who participated in the hunting competition were traveling together, and they were also attacked by the men in black.
Originally, this team with only two hunter teams secretly guarding could not resist the attack of the black-clothed man at all, but unexpectedly, with the movement caused by a signal rocket in the depths of the Moon Forest, the other two hunter teams nearby inadvertently broke into the ambush array here, disrupting the pocket ambush array that had not yet been arranged, and more than twenty hunters and the guards of Miss Yan's family would launch a counterattack.
Although the strength of the two young ladies of the Yan clan is not as good as Yan Xiaoxiao, the few generals around them are not at the level of hunters and Guinu, and the six guards forcibly broke through the black-clothed ambush team of forty people under the cover of the hunter team, and rushed out of the Moon Forest all the way.
Yan Hu was also alerted because of Yan Xiaoxiao's high-spirited signal near Yinyue Lake, and thought that Yan Xiaoxiao had encountered a spirit beast crisis, so he summoned the nearby hunter team to rush to the vicinity of Yinyue Lake for a while, although he was ambushed by the man in black, the four guards around him protected Yan Hu all the way to the place where Yan Xiaoxiao was attacked.
"The first to be attacked should be the second miss. ”
"It's dangerous!"
"If it weren't for Xiaoxiao's warning, we'd probably be planted...... This damn place can't even send out a rescue rocket, and it can't contact the people outside the Moon Forest at all. ”
The guards who protected the Yanhu had palpitations, they knew very well that the guard mentality when hunting and the guard mentality when they were attacked were completely two different concepts, if it wasn't for the signal rocket to remind them, when they were ambushed by the man in black, the four of them would definitely not be safe and sound.
Yan Hu's face was solemn:
"Search!"
"Be sure to find Xiaoxiao. ”
The hunters under his command immediately scattered.
"There's an iron-scaled python here, a fatal wound caused by an iron-burning arrow......"
"These prey were all killed by the second lady...... Heavenly, the second lady was ambushed on the way back, thirteen Orion brothers were killed, and eighteen men in black attacked the party...... All killed, the second lady should have successfully broken through. ”
“......”
Hearing the report of his subordinates, a look of surprise flashed in Yan Hu's eyes.
"How many?"
"Judging from the traces left by the second young lady, at least seven people survived, but four of them were scattered, and the three war horses were in that direction, so they should have broken through and sent a message. ”
"It's worthy of the second miss. ”
The hunters breathed a sigh of relief.
However.
The bad news was also very fast.
A hunter who followed the trail turned pale when he saw the cover:
The third son and the fifth son were ambushed by the black-clothed team of the Liancheng Shui family, and the whole army was annihilated, and the two sons were captured and killed on the spot. ”
"What!"
"How did you get out?"
Yanhu is furious!
A group of Orions turned pale and trembling with fright when they heard this, almost unable to possess their bodies:
Something happened!
Something big is wrong.
The Yan family lost two heirs at one time, which was a vicious event that had not been encountered in decades.
Orion, who was in charge of the report, hurriedly explained:
"The subordinates followed the second lady's team and encountered an ambush, and the second miss ordered me and the other four to go to Yuelin to find a few masters, but by the time the subordinates found the third and fifth sons' teams, the two masters had already been killed. ”
“...... Where's the second lady?"
Yanhu retracted his anger.
"The second lady broke through with Xingnu and Guinu, and she has already reported to the family. ”
Orion buried his head in the report.
The hunters present showed their joy;
Even the four guards who guarded the Flame Tiger breathed a sigh of relief:
"Great. ”
"Once the second young lady successfully breaks through, the family will soon send a large number of masters to intervene to rescue the fourth prince and the two young ladies. ”
"It's worthy of our Yan tigress. ”
Just when the expressions of the four guards were slightly relaxed, the hunter who had been burying his head in the report suddenly raised his head and smiled:
"The third. ”
The sound of the machine spring sounded, and the crossbow arrow was sent into Yan Hu's body at close range, the latter bowed his head incredibly, and a crossbow arrow was firmly inserted in his chest, the blood was inferior to the placket of his clothes, and the color of horror and despair gradually spread with his pupils, and the roar of the guards and the desperate exclamations of the hunters became farther and farther away.
......
At the same time, the other two young ladies of the Yan clan were also approached by the disguised man in black pretending to be the Yuelin Orion, and after the vigilance of the people around them was reduced, the two young ladies were killed on the spot, and the pretender was hacked to death with a knife.
Five young descendants of the Yan clan fell.
Tread, trample......
Yan Xiaoxiao and his party of three people galloped rapidly on the edge of the Moon Forest, and with the innate sensing ability of the meteor, they shook off several waves of black-clothed people suspected of being Liancheng Shui Family.
It is getting closer and closer to the edge of the Moon Forest.
At this moment, a group of Moon Forest Orions suddenly appeared in front of them, fully armed and facing this side:
"It's Miss Two!"
"Second Miss is fine. ”
"Quick!"
"Be on alert! Escort the second lady out of the Moon Forest. ”
When Guinu saw his own team, he immediately shouted excitedly, not realizing the doubts and vigilance of Yan Xiaoxiao and Meteor.
The horses slowed down.
Guinu rushed past Star Nu first.
Meteor steadily picked up the crossbow on both sides of the saddle, and shouted:
"Beware!"
It's too late, it's too soon.
Yan Xiaoxiao came first, shot two arrows in a row, and the Orion who was deflected by the two arrows was pierced through the chest on the spot, and the person fell down softly like a lightning strike.
"Second Miss ......"
Frightened, Guinu instinctively tightened the reins, then heard the sound of springs and breaking air, and two more hunters fell to the ground.
"Spotted. ”
"Kill!"
"The target is the second miss of the Yan family, and she must not be allowed to leave this place alive. ”
The remaining twelve hunters tore off their disguises in unison, and at the same time opened their bows to lock on to Yan Xiaoxiao.
Perverse......
On tiptoe, Yan Xiaoxiao rose from the horse's back, avoiding the first round of arrows, the horsewhip swept, and the two big trees collapsed in response, falling sideways to the left and right, smashing up a piece of dust and broken leaves, blocking the attacker's sight.
"Star Slave!"
Yan Xiaoxiao gave an order, and Meteor came to his senses, threw the strong bow and quiver on his back, and quickly pointed out several directions.
When landing, receiving the bow, pulling the arrow, and turning the body, the three arrows enter the string at the same time, and the action is done in one go.
The arrows were off the string, and the powerful penetrating force broke through the branches and leaves to hit the target accurately, and the three men in black flew upside down with a muffled hum at the same time, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
The other nine were shocked.
But before they could understand what was going on, Meteor pointed out the location of the other three men in black again, allowing Yan Xiaoxiao to hunt the three again, reducing the number of men in black to six.
Guinu sat upright on his horse the whole time, his body stiff, not daring to move.
Poof!
Seeing that more and more men in black were killed by arrows, Guinu was bold, so he pulled out the horse chopping knife in the saddle and pounced on ...... violently The last man in black.
"Damn Guinu, get out of the way! ”
Yan Xiaoxiao was so angry that she wanted to shoot Guinu down directly.
Submit!
Flying and landing on the branches, Yan Xiaoxiao did not tremble, and with a condescending attitude, she decisively nailed the last fish that slipped through the net, and then fell back on her horse:
Ambush of sixteen people, Yan Xiaoxiao killed fourteen, Meteor killed two, and Guinu ...... Nearly let go of the last man in black.
But overall, he was unharmed, and Yan Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.
"Let's go!"
A group of three people rushed out of the Moon Forest, and looking back, they saw dark clouds covering the sun, and the black pressure shrouded the sky over the Moon Forest, which looked very strange and shocking.
"It's ......"
Yan Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, seemed to recognize something, and gradually slowed down.
Meteor also noticed at this time that outside the Moon Forest, there were guards of the Yan clan standing in a hundred steps!
Although Guinu also tightened the reins vigilantly and did not rush out in recklessness, Meteor knew:
These people are definitely not pretenders!
Because each of them was wearing the special armor of the Yan clan, dark red armor, with exquisite fire patterns, the wearer was like a guard standing in the flames, adding a bit of momentum, and the flame emblem on their chests was a mark unique to the Yan family, and no one dared to imitate it.
"The family already knows?"
Meteor looked at the Yan Clan's armor guards stretching from the Moon Forest into the distance, with a strange look on his face.
Wrong.
These people ......
So calm!
"Hush. ”
Yan Xiaoxiao seemed to have completely realized after a sweep, and waved her horsewhip in annoyance, leaving a scorch mark on the ground, and said to herself: "Miss Ben has been fooled! It is actually a fantasy experience, I said, how could even the masters of the Chengshui family not appear, they are all assassins with the strength of miscellaneous fish, so it is like this...... It's just a pity for Miss Ben's iron-scaled python...... No, hmph, we have to let the family pay for Miss Ben's results this time. ”
"Illusion Experience?"
Meteor keenly caught the word in the mouth of the second lady.
Yan Xiaoxiao turned her head and nodded:
"Yuelin was covered up by the illusionist of the family with a magic circle in advance, and organized an illusion experience for Miss Ben and Yanhu and them, the purpose of which is to test the adaptability of our juniors in the real iron-blooded war, which can also be understood as a test of our strength. ”
"And those Orions......
"None of them are dead, while the family is testing us, they will also test these hunters in the Moon Forest, and those with excellent performance can be sent to the internal guard camp for training, and those with unsatisfactory performance will be punished to work in the mines. Yan Xiaoxiao's words shocked Guinu on the spot, and his face turned pale, as if he realized his fate.
