――――
In the early morning of Fire Raven Town, the sky was still gray.
When Chen Xi came to the Fire Raven Tavern, Qi Yin was already ready to go, and he was still carrying the big bow with a dark glow on his back, burly and fierce.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen evil people in Fire Raven Town, all of whom had to go to the Dark Forest with Qi Yin to collect materials, either hunting demon beasts to extract their fur and bones, or picking spiritual materials to dig spiritual ores.
The team set off quickly.
The Dark Forest is located behind the town of Fire Raven, vast, and the trees in the forest are ancient and tall, and they need to be hugged by seven or eight people, and the canopy of the trees is more than a hundred feet above the ground.
Every tree here is so huge, but the distance between the trees is very wide, and the ground is thick with decaying leaves, and if you step on it vigorously, the whole person will be buried in it. Not because of the swamp below, but because the ground is too thick with a layer of decay.
Because the forest is too vast and lush, the sunlight cannot penetrate the thick layer of leaves, and walking in it, it is dark, and the shadows of the trees look quite terrifying.
Qi Yin walked in front to lead the team, Chen Xi followed quietly, the group did not speak, the atmosphere seemed very dull, and only the roar of the demon beast could be heard from afar, adding a fierce and penetrating atmosphere.
As they deepened, everyone's expressions became vigilant and guarded all around, so the speed of movement naturally decreased a lot.
According to Chen Xi's knowledge, they had already left the periphery of the Dark Forest and began to head towards the depths.
There were no accidents along the way, on the contrary, the entire forest was quiet, dead and silent, not to mention the demon beasts, not even a single insect ant was found.
It's a bit abnormal!
Chen Xi's cold eyes shone brightly, looking at Ning Yin's majestic back in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
Woohoo!
Suddenly, a strange whistling sound suddenly pierced the dead silence, as if it had suddenly emerged from a crack in the rock, and it was approaching this side at a very fast speed.
There was no need to say hello, everyone stopped, vigilant and on guard.
"Be careful! it's Qing Suoyan!" a wicked man screamed in horror. The others also changed slightly, and immediately released all kinds of defensive magic weapons, as if facing a great enemy.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen arrow-like cyan blades burst out from all directions in the forest!
These cyan blades were as fast as lightning, cutting through the void and making a sharp whimpering sound, piercing the eardrums, but the oncoming murderous aura was as cold as a knife!
Poof!
The defensive magic weapon of the two wicked people, like paper paste, was easily pierced by the cyan blade, and in an instant, two blood springs burst out from the chests of the two of them!
"Ahh
The others were stunned, but had no time to care about anything else, and their defensive weapons were also under attack, fluctuating violently, emitting a deafening thud, almost shattering.
It's not hard to imagine that if there is another wave of attacks, they will not be able to escape the fate of being pierced by the cyan blade and dying!
Chen Xi stayed at the back of the team, the attack he received was the least, and he dodged it after a little dodge, which seemed extremely easy, and at this time he also saw clearly that the cyan blades were actually a group of cyan swallows.
Qing Shuoyan, flat as a shuttle, light cyan throughout, wings spread but the size of a palm, it is said that the blood of this demon beast flows with a trace of the blood of the ancient fierce bird Shadow Sparrow, the speed is as fast as lightning, coming and going like the wind.
In addition to their size like a sharp shuttle, their attacks are also as sharp as a long shuttle, and with the combination of their own lightning speed, the attacks they burst out are extremely terrifying.
Due to their speed and size, they are also known as the natural assassins of the forest, and they are very good at sneaking up on surprise attacks, and they go out in groups, often killing them by the time their prey finds them.
One blow missed, Qing Suoyan obviously showed retreat, they didn't expect these defensive magic weapons to be so strong, their attacks were blocked, and their movements couldn't help but be a little sluggish.
These wicked people in Fire Raven Town are all experienced in actual combat, and when they saw their companions die tragically in front of them, they were shocked and angry in their hearts, and at this time, they saw Qing Suoyan showing a hint of exhaustion, and immediately took action without hesitation.
They knew very well that if they didn't take advantage of Qing Shuoyan's exhaustion, once they regained the speed they had just now, their victory rate would be extremely low, and they might even be wiped out.
Swords, swords, spears...... All kinds of fierce attacks poured out like a storm.
In this treacherous forest, in fact, no matter who you are, you are very disgusted with a small and fast beast like the Qing Shuoyan, because in this environment, you will never be able to advance and retreat as freely as the Qing Shuoyan, and they will miss a hit, immediately flee away, and will wait for an opportunity to sneak attack again, which is extremely difficult and annoying.
Bang! Bang!
The five Qingshuo swallows were hit, and several clouds of blood mist burst out in midair. Compared to the attack, the defense ability of the Qingsuo swallow is extremely poor, and once it is hit, it basically has no live mouth.
In order to avoid being harassed and attacked by the Qingsuo swallows in the next trip, these wicked people were determined to annihilate all the Qingsuo swallows, and they were ruthless, and all kinds of attacks burst out, and the thick and strong trees within a hundred zhang nearby were all broken from it, and the sawdust flew sideways, and the scene looked extremely chaotic.
And in this chaos, Chen Xi's eyes have been locked on Qi Yin, like an outsider, indifferent, and he has never made a move at all.
At this moment, Qi Yin had taken off the big bow on his back, his muscular arms were spread, the bow was like a full moon, and the bowstring shook, and an invisible arrow burst out, each arrow was precise and ruthless, killing a Qing Suoyan, showing an extremely strong archery cultivation.
Qi Yin's body also moved and shifted in the process of archery, as if intentionally or unintentionally, sweeping into the distance.
Seeing that he was about to leave the team completely, a figure rushed out of the ground, like a ghost, and swept straight towards him, raised his hand and grabbed him, grabbed him by the back, and brought him back to the team.
"What are you going to do? This is a battle! Not the time to mess around!" Caught off guard and caught back, Qi Yin's heart was suddenly shocked and creepy, but when he saw the person who caught him, his expression instantly became calm.
This person is Chen Xi, there is a trace of coldness on his lips, and his eyes are cold: "This is indeed a battle, but compared to Qing Suoyan, you disgust me even more." ”
Qi Yin's face sank: "What are you talking about?"
"Actually, I found out last night that you were lying, with the wisdom of Hei Rilou, you will never let an outsider know that your Jihua will survive after that, this is very abnormal. The fact that you are alive undoubtedly proves one thing. Your identity should be more than one of the five evildoers, but I'm afraid that you are still an assassin buried in Fire Raven Town in the Black Sun Tower, am I right?" Chen Xi said lightly.
His hand was tightly locked on Qi Yin's throat, but his eyes were scanning the surroundings, and his gaze did not stop on those people who were fighting against Qing Suoyan, but looked at the far reaches of the forest, as if he had seen something.
There was a moment of panic in Qi Yin's eyes, and then he became extremely quiet, and said indifferently: "You guessed right, but now that you have fallen into a siege, even if you kill me now, you will definitely die." ”
A cold mockery appeared on Chen Xi's lips: "Whether I can live or not, I'll find out later, but I said that you will definitely die now, do you believe it?"
Qi Yin was silent, looking resigned to his fate.
"Before you die, can you tell me something?" asked Chen Xi, who didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill Qi Yin, but seemed to be waiting for something.
"You say. ”
"Is there a bounty for killing your assassins in the Black Sun Tower?"
"Nope. ”
"Your life in Heirilou is really worthless at the moment, but this bow is not bad, this should be a witch treasure that has followed you for many years, right?"
Chen Xi raised his hand and grabbed the pitch-black big bow, the tentacles were cold, heavy and abnormal, not less than 10,000 catties, and there was a faint trace of desolate ancient magic power lingering on it, mysterious and immense.
The so-called witch treasure is the blade used by the refiner, and unlike the magic weapon of refining the air flow, the refining of the witch treasure is extremely difficult, and it can only be refined by the refiner himself.
Because there is only one material for refining witch treasures, that is, the corpses of ancient gods and demons, whose bones, teeth, meridians, nails, and even hair and eyes can be refined into witch treasures. Only the corpses and bones of ancient gods and demons can fuse the liliang of magic power and make it exert the power of magic weapons.
And every witch treasure must be fed and conceived by the refiner with his own essence and blood, and the impurities in it need to be constantly tempered with magic power, so as to reach the point where blood dissolves in water, like an arm and a finger.
However, in the Great Chu Dynasty, the corpses of ancient gods and demons were extremely rare, and even more difficult to see than immortal weapons. It is precisely because of this that nine out of ten body refiners in the world have no witch treasure in their hands to use, so you can know the preciousness of witch treasure.
Of course, even if there is no witch treasure, the body refiner can still completely crush the qi refiner in the same level with his body comparable to a magic weapon.
Qi Yin's expression finally changed, not because he felt sorry for his witch treasure, but because Chen Xi's words completely shattered a trace of luck in his heart.
He had been using the True Yuan to cast the Great Bow just now, and the power he exerted was less than one percent, in order to conceal his identity as a body refiner. So after he was caught by Chen Xi, he didn't worry about anything, the body refiner could be reborn with a broken arm, as long as he didn't hurt his head and heart, he would be able to recover in the next moment.
However, now, he found out that he was wrong, Chen Xi could recognize Wu Bao, and naturally knew that he was a body refiner, how could he not know where his weakness was when he killed himself?
"Can you spare my life, I'll exchange it for an arrow path supernatural power, and this star-destroying bow also belongs to you, how about it?" Qi Yin said in a deep voice.
"Won't you all commit suicide after you fail in the assassin mission of the Black Sun Tower, why are you so afraid of death?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.
"Everyone is afraid of death, and it is precisely because they are afraid of death that they have to work hard to live, don't they?" Qi Yin stared at Chen Xi with a frank expression, and he didn't feel that it was a shame to be afraid of death.
Chen Xi was noncommittal, and was about to speak, but he seemed to suddenly notice something, and the cold light in his eyes overflowed, and in Qi Yin's stunned and frightened gaze, a palm shattered his heart.
"You...... So ruthless!" The corners of Qi Yin's mouth were bleeding, his eyes showed bitter hatred, and soon became dim, and his body collapsed to the ground, and he died.
"I'm going to live too, so you have to die. ”
Chen Xi shook his head, took away the storage magic weapon on Qi Yin's body casually, didn't look at it, tiptoed suddenly, and the whole person was like a wisp of light smoke, instantly burrowed into the forest, and disappeared.
At this time, the other wicked people also completely wiped out Qing Suoyan, and before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, they were shocked to find that Qi Yin had fallen to the ground and died without knowing when!
It's no wonder that they are not surprised, Qing Suoyan's attack is too fierce, with their strength, they don't dare to be distracted at all, Chen Xi and Ning Yin are standing at the back of the team, it is difficult for them to find out early.
"Oh no! That evil star is gone, could it be that he killed Qi Yin?" Someone found that Chen Xi was missing, and shouted in surprise, and the others also reacted immediately, and their faces suddenly became extremely different.
In this maze-like dangerous forest, without Qi Yin to lead the way, how can they get out?
Rustle rustle......
A faint sound of wind sounded, blowing the rotten fallen leaves on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, in the field of vision of many wicked people, more than ten black cloth masked figures suddenly appeared, one by one like ghosts, silently!
