Chapter 164: Three Arrows
Sima Ruan Qing arrived at the edge of the mountain forest, ready to follow one of them, and as long as he followed one person, he could rescue the injured party at any time when the two encountered.
Most gambling battles are like this, and the challenges of the disciples of the Six-Character Camp honing each other on weekdays, Ping Jiang knows that there will not be much danger, and he only needs to stand on the lookout.
And right now, it's not just an ordinary fellow disciple fighting, it's this kind of terrain warfare, the distance is too far, and the teaching of the protector must keep up with it while maintaining a certain distance.
The rest of the disciples, instructors, and camp guards who watched all boarded a huge flying boat, and would rather stand high in the air, condescendingly, watching the entire gambling battle.
"Huh, what's that?" Someone noticed that a tiny flying boat had been hovering above the highest sky.
"It seems like it's been there for a long time, and it was there when we came. Someone replied.
"It should be the camp guard, I've seen it in the sky above the trial ground before. ”
With a few simple words of dialogue, no one paid attention to the boat anymore, and Pang Fang had already entered the edge of the mountain forest, standing beside Sima Ruan Qing, but the boat had not yet come.
"It's almost time, if you don't come again, don't you count him as losing, Sima Jiaoxi. Pang Fang asked Sima Ruan Qing very casually, without the slightest politeness in his words, but immediately he found that he seemed to be overexcited, and hurriedly said: "Teaching atonement, I'm a little anxious." ”
Sima Ruan Qing didn't care at all, shook his head and said: "Fifteen minutes have passed since the agreed time, and he will lose, and there are still three minutes before the punctuality, that is, eighteen minutes later, if the boat has not arrived, he will be sentenced to lose the gambling battle." ”
"This guy is arrogant. Let's all wait for him. Pang put down his consciousness and spit out another sentence, and then shook his head busily. He smiled and said, "Teach Xi, I didn't mean that." I think this kind of gambling battle should be a little bit ...... in advance."
Sima Ruan Qing was noncommittal, and never showed any emotion when he was polite or casual to Pang, and with a wave of his hand, he interrupted him and simply spit out one word: "Wait." ”
Pang Fang laughed dryly, and then stopped talking, and he couldn't figure out what he was. I always feel that there is a force that can't be vented, as if I am not happy, and now I am thinking about fighting and fighting all over my body, so as to sweep away the inexplicable extra energy.
............
In the small boat at the highest altitude, Dao Sheng, Lei Tong, and Bochang, the three great teachers and the chief teacher Xi Wang Xi, were all sitting in it.
This flying boat is the fastest one in the entire Beast Extermination Camp, and it has special craftsmanship that allows it to look far away. In addition, the Great Teaching and Chief Teaching are far superior to the eyes and ears of ordinary martial artists, and it is only appropriate to hover here and watch the gambling battle.
Chengzhou is their disciple. The gambling amount in this battle is so huge, and Pang Fang is the strongest archer among the disciples in this period. Colliding with the stealth technique of the boat, several senior teachers and chief teachers naturally wanted to take a look. It's a great fight.
"Chief Teacher, why don't you bet on the boat to win this time?" Dao Sheng asked with a smile: "Every time I gambled on the boat before. You're betting against the norm. ”
Wang Xi didn't answer, but Lei Tong responded: "Do you still need to ask, although the boat has great potential, but the current combat power, compared with that Pang Fang, may not be able to win, and Pang Fang's mind is not like other opponents in the boat, compared with the boat, who is on whose way, this is not accurate, I didn't dare to gamble, the general teacher Xi naturally saw it thoroughly." ”
Wang Xi nodded: "I have always done less things that are uncertain, both Chengzhou and Pang Fang have a lot of tricks, we know more about Chengzhou, but Pang Fang does not know much, so I can't see the variables of this battle." ”
After Dao Sheng heard this, he showed a high-ranking look and said, "Do you know who the disciples, the sect and the camp guards are?"
Bo Chang suddenly followed a sentence and said: "Naturally Pang Fang, someone deliberately released the news yesterday, Pang Fang has been peeking at the stealth technique of the boat, and the magical method of improving the strength for a long time, so last month it could have been improved to the ranking of less than thirty, but instead deliberately fell behind, just to get close to the ranking of the boat, so that he agreed." ”
Bo Chang took a puff of dry tobacco and continued: "In this way, most people have placed a heavy bet on Pang Fang, and if it is placed on the boat, it will be very profitable. ”
"Hey, Bochang, you've heard this clearly. Dao Shengqi said: "Could it be that you also made a big bet on Chengzhou?"
"If you can't see it, I don't have the heart to gamble like you. Bochang said a word, and fell into the usual silence again.
"The meaning of gambling is not ironclad to make money, the charm of gambling lies in the great uncertainty, for this kind of betting is huge, but the combat power is uncertain, it is interesting to gamble. Dao Sheng said to himself, and began to drink and eat meat.
Although this boat is completely enclosed, the interior is not as peculiar as when the disciples were brought to the beast extermination camp. But it is the same as the ordinary inner room, there are tables, chairs, tea sets, like a much smaller cabinet, before coming up, Dao Sheng shouted and brought a lot of wine and food, saying that it is interesting to eat and watch.
The five great teachers of the beast extermination camp, one of the chief teachers, although they are not as greedy as Lao Nie, but they are all delicious people, and if Dao Sheng says this, no one will object.
After eating for a while, the flying boat cabin was a little dull, and Dao Sheng felt that Lei Tong had talked a lot less in the past few days, so he only said one sentence, and there were no more words, so he couldn't help but tease him and said: "Lei Tong, why don't you even care about eating, sitting there in a daze." ”
Lei Tong hummed and didn't respond much, until Dao Sheng picked up a piece of fish and cow meat and smashed it directly, Lei Tong reacted, took it, threw it in his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and said with a dry laugh after a while: "I'm thinking about whether I will regret not betting this time." ”
"Less......" Dao Sheng didn't believe that Lei Tong was thinking about it, but he didn't have the heart to ask more, he found that Bo Chang had already looked at the lookout set up through the Xuanguang and began to take a closer look.
"Is that kid here?" Dao Sheng hurriedly ran to the side of the window, not caring about tasting any more food.
Lei Tong smiled, as if he wanted to hide something, and hurriedly followed to another window, and the chief teacher Xi Wang Xi drank a bottle of wine in a hurry, and looked at Lei Tong a little strangely, and then came to the window. Looking through the lookout tube, the eye is over a hundred feet in the air. Look at the testing ground on the ground.
............
"It's coming, it's coming. The boat came. ”
At the same time, hovering on the huge flying boat fifty zhang high, a group of disciples, cultivators, and camp guards also discovered that the boat had appeared outside the trial ground, and the noise suddenly sounded.
On the ground, Chengzhou handed over the disciple's order, verified the Ling Yue Battle Blade he was carrying, and after a strict body search, he confirmed that it was the same as the treasures, utensils, and pills to be used in the report, and then entered the testing ground.
"By boat. Come so late, don't you look down on me?" At the foot of the mountain forest, when Pang Fang saw Chengzhou, he originally wanted to say a few polite words, but even he didn't expect it, and blurted out a provocative word, which was extremely inconsistent with his treacherous temperament, and after saying it, he regretted it a little. Why did I have such an impulse today, and what I thought in my heart was bluntly said.
Xie Qingyun was happy when he heard it, and said in his heart that this is how deceitful Pang Fang is. As soon as he started speaking, he showed a look of disdain at the moment with so many loopholes. said: "That's right, it's just to look down on you." What do you want to do? I can't get angry, do you want to quit the gambling war? Exit at this time, 10,000 taels of silver always have to be paid, and you don't have to fight with you, you can earn silver, which is a great thing for me. ”
Pang Fang was ridiculed, only to feel a wave of anger rushing straight up, and wanted to do it at that time, but he immediately realized that his mood was wrong, and this kind of anger had a great impact on his tactics, so he immediately suppressed his anger, sneered, and strode towards the mountains and forests.
Sima Ruan Qing smiled softly, looked at Xie Qingyun, gave a thumbs up, and followed up the mountain, but it was in another direction, in the terrain and landform of the test ground, in order to avoid affecting and interfering with the disciple's battle, the teaching of protection does not need to follow too closely, try not to appear in the disciple's sight, Sima Ruan Qing's body method is excellent, extremely fast, to do this, and when a disciple is injured, she can immediately appear to save people, for her, there is no problem.
Xie Qingyun looked at Sima Ruanqing's back, also smiled, followed his back and looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, took a breath, found a third direction, and entered it.
This was just the beginning, Xie Qingyun didn't use stealth techniques, and climbed along the mountain road to the mountainside unhurriedly.
The terrain of the mountain forest, as the name suggests, is a forest in the mountains, the terrain is rarely flat, and the road is full of trees. This kind of landform is drier than the dense forest that Xie Qingyun often practiced with the disciples of the Liuzi Camp, and the denseness of the forest is not as good as the flat hill dense forest, but because it is steep everywhere, sneaking in it consumes much more energy than the dense forest.
For archers, it is more convenient to find a place to ambush, condescendingly, and wound the enemy with arrows.
The six-character battalion fought with each other, and the blades were replaced with arc wood, which did not hurt anyone. But this kind of gambling war, there is no need to change, otherwise the experience in the battle has become a decoration, which is why the formal gambling war, the teaching of judging and protecting should be separated, if it is still the same as between the six-character camp, only Pingjiang alone, he can't scruple to come.
In this way, with a special teaching for nursing, even after being injured, even if it is a serious injury, there is time to rescue, and the disciples who treat the physique of the martial apprentice and even the quasi-martial artist, no matter how good the pill is, it is not as good as the martial artist's healing pill, and it can be afforded for the beast extermination camp.
............
Fifty zhang in the air, all the disciples discussed.
"Look at how you take the boat, I just looked at Pang Fang, and then looked back to look for him, it was not easy to find. A bald disciple muttered, "Didn't you say that his stealth skills are very powerful, if he is really powerful, as soon as I leave him and come back, it should be difficult to find." ”
"You are condescending, of course you can easily find it, if you are in the middle of the forest, those trees are not as small as they are now, he sneaks behind you, you may not be able to find them. "Even if someone refutes.
A tall and thin disciple of the fifteen-character battalion was speaking for Pang Fang: "That's not necessarily, I just looked at the boat for a while, turned my head to look for Pang Fang, but it took some eyesight to see him, Pang Fang doesn't know stealth, just rely on his archer ambush ability, it's so powerful." ”
"Yes......" I also found out, and immediately there were other disciples who responded, because they also found that Pang Fang's movement seemed to be more hidden, and as for Sima Ruan Qing, the great sect who was the protector, he couldn't see where he was at all.
In this comparison, it is obvious that the rumored stealth technique of taking a boat can even conceal the great teaching, and it is self-defeating.
Sometimes I went to see Xie Qingyun, and sometimes I went to see Pang Fang, and the noise of everyone gradually became quieter, just waiting for the two to meet again to see who could ambush whom in the end. Most of the disciples, instructors, and camp guards bet on Pang Fang, so they also hoped that Pang Fang would win.
............
"Senior Brother Xiao Yao. This time I will definitely make a lot of money. Zhuo Ping looked down from the deck of the flying boat excitedly, his face flushed with excitement.
"Are you so sure you can win by boat?" Xiao Yao smiled: "Every time you make a bet." I didn't even bet on it. ”
"But it's right every time. Zhuo Ping said with a smile: "Senior Brother Xiao Yao is not good at gambling, but he is very good at gambling, and he is very accurate in looking at people." ”
Xiao Yao laughed: "This time it may not be, I see that the combat power of the two of them, Pang Fang is stronger." ”
"What?" Zhuo Ping looked stunned: "Then the senior brother still asked me to take the boat?"
"Hold him, because I believe in him, he has something unpredictable. Xiao Yao smiled and said softly.
"Then ......" Zhuo Ping said after a while: "I also believe in Senior Brother Xiao Yao, and Senior Brother Xiao Yao also makes me unpredictable." ”
............
"Huh. The boat is gone, where did you go?" Half an hour later, a disciple finally saw that Xie Qingyun was lost, and immediately shouted, but immediately someone with excellent eyesight pointed in the direction, which made this disciple realize that Xie Qingyun was extremely skillfully using a rock belt on the mountain road to hide his body at the same time. Rush to the top of the mountain.
"This is the stealth technique of boating. ”
Everyone in the six-character camp had heard the discussion of the other disciples earlier, but they didn't speak, they just looked at each other and smiled, and now they saw the senior brother of Chengzhou. When you really perform stealth, you can't help but be proud in your heart.
I was thinking that this was just the beginning. When I wait until the back, I am afraid that Qi Tian, Xiao Yao and other top ten disciples in the ranking may not be able to see the whereabouts of the boat. It can only be discovered when Pang Fang and the boat are in short arms.
Just a little. Si Kou and the others were a little suspicious, Pang Fang did not choose to follow the junior brother of the boat, and pursued with his body, exhausting the strength of the boat, and attacking with arrows at a distance.
Instead, he went up the mountain first, and seemed to be determined to ambush Chengzhou, in this way, Pang Fang seemed to be sure that he would be able to break the stealth technique of Chengzhou's junior brother and find Xie Qingyun's location, which was indeed a bit strange.
What Si Kou thought of, Xie Qingyun naturally thought of it, but he was not worried at all, whether Pang Fang wanted to ambush him, or he found Pang Fang first and quietly attacked, the two always had to meet, the rules of terrain warfare, within the prescribed hours, if there was no fighting, half of the gambling money would be paid and handed over to the beast extermination camp.
In this way, no one will be idle, treat Xuanyin as money, run to challenge, write a war letter, and deliberately avoid fighting.
Therefore, Pang Fang chose to compete with Xie Qingyun, in addition to whose stealth and ambush are more powerful, and then the state of mind, whoever has a better state of mind and can endure will be able to take a certain advantage.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, there were three sounds of breaking the air in a row, and it wasn't until a few zhang away that Xie Qingyun heard it, and he didn't need to look at it, just by virtue of the sound, he could conclude that the power of these three arrows was more than a star and a half greater than that of Si Kou, and the speed was more than a star and a half faster than Si Kou's stone opening bow.
Bang!
This was followed by three more sounds, but the sound was different, the first arrow pierced into the earth, the second into the rocks, and the third into the woods.
Xie Qingyun rolled to the side at the moment when the three arrows were about to hit him, and he didn't use the body technique that was close to the shadow level, but he just surpassed the body technique of the quasi-martial artist in the past, and dodged the thrilling three arrows.
After dodging, Xie Qingyun quickly retreated sharply, continuously rounding the bend in the forest, shuttling for several feet, and finally rolled into a mountainside depression, calming down, and completely blending in with the surroundings, before calming down.
This time, the three arrows were fired in a row, and it was easy to hide, but Xie Qingyun's heart was not easy, what surprised him was not the power of Pang Fang's three arrows, but Pang Fang's ability to find out his whereabouts.
Judging from the distance and direction from which the arrow feathers came, Pang Fang should be fifteen zhang away, even if he opened the six senses, he might not be able to detect such a distant movement, not to mention that Xie Qingyun's stealth technique could also make him fit in with nature, even if he came closer, it was easy to ignore that there was such a person beside him.
Since Pang Fang was able to discover his location, there was only one possibility, Pang Fang did not use his six senses to feel his existence, but saw him directly with his eyes.
I remember that Si Kou said that the archer's vision should be specially practiced, and Si Kou's own eyesight will be extremely powerful, and after opening the six senses in the future, his vision will be far better than that of people in the same realm.
In this way, Pang Fang's vision should be even stronger, and most of them have some special skills, in such a vast mountain forest, if he only has amazing eyesight, he may not be able to look in the direction where Xie Qingyun is at a glance.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyun blinked, not only did he feel bad, but he was happy.
The more difficult the fight, the more interesting it is, if you simply defeat Pang Fang, Xuanyin is easy to earn, but it is not helpful at all for the training of martial arts.
Seventeen zhang away, Pang Fang shot three arrows, and he didn't care whether he could hit it or not, he turned over and swam out of the vicinity for a few zhang before he stopped and looked at the boat again.
At this look, I can't help but be annoyed, the three arrow feathers are clearly inserted into the soil, stone and tree species, but there is no shadow of the boat, the bad thing is that he has opened his heart and eyes, just now he found the boat is the heart and eye, but now he has lost the trace of the boat.
"Calm, quiet!" A wave of restlessness rushed to Pang Fang's heart, and he wanted to rush out directly and tear up this damn boat, but with this thought, he immediately whispered to himself that Mo said that his gloomy temperament was the unity of concentration required in the archer's bow skills, and he was almost broken. (To be continued......)
