Chapter 63: Ambush (1/4)
Black clouds cover the sky, the sky is gloomy, and there is a thick layer of thick clouds above the Henglong Mountain Range, among the clouds and mist, rolling thunder bursts, flashing from time to time Daodao electric light, as if there is really a giant dragon rolling in the clouds.
This is already the second day of entering the mountain, and according to Song Yu's arrangement, everyone, including Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian, has been searching around the Huabai Mountain.
Mount Faber is just an ordinary mountain in the Henglong Mountains, it is not more than a hundred zhang high, and the mountain is quite gentle, basically you can see the whole mountain when you climb to the top of the mountain, and there is nothing peculiar. However, although you can see the situation clearly at a glance, there are many strange peaks and dangerous gorges, dense forests and valleys around Huabai Mountain. Naturally, these are the places that everyone is searching for.
Coupled with Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian, Song Yu gathered a total of more than 30 Jianghu people in the past few days, and these people were divided into more than a dozen teams in twos and threes, and after making an agreement, they began a large-scale search.
I have to say that this Song Yu does have some ability. With Mount Faber as the center, he divided the surrounding area into several areas according to the terrain, and arranged at least two or more teams to search in each area, which not only ensured the efficiency of the search and the safety of everyone to the greatest extent, but also played a role in mutual supervision invisibly.
Xiao Suifengyu and Wen Qian were naturally in a group, and Song Yu and Qiu Hong searched a deep valley west of Huabai Mountain together.
The valley had no name, but was surrounded by several dangerous peaks, and the peaks around it were so steep and shadowy that it was difficult to see what was going on in the valley from the outside unless you entered it. Xiao Suifeng, Yuwen Qian, and Song Yuqiuhong entered the valley from the north and south sides of the valley respectively, searching each other.
The time was only noon, but the sky was overcast, the trees in the mountains shaded the sky, and the cloudy wind was constantly whistling, which made it even more gloomy.
Xiao Suifeng wrapped the Chengying Sword in coarse cloth and carried it behind him, while holding a short sword in his hand, he walked in front of him. Xiao Suifeng was very focused, his eyes kept scanning around, searching carefully in this valley, but Yu Wenqian, who was most interested in the Martial Saint Tomb, followed absentmindedly and asked, "Childe, do you feel that the person surnamed Song doesn't seem to be a good person." ”
Xiao didn't look back with the limelight, his eyes were still searching, and he just responded lightly, "Why?"
Yu Wenqian frowned lightly behind him, "I can't tell you clearly, I just feel that Song Yu looks dignified, but I always feel that there is a sense of hypocrisy and evil." Judging from his performance, he doesn't look like an idle person who walks alone, but like a disciple cultivated by the Great Gate Sect, but Qian'er has never heard of such a number one person. ”
Xiao Suifeng was silent, ignoring evil spirits and the like for the time being, but Xiao Suifeng did have some doubts about the identity of Song Yu. After being silent for a moment, Xiao Suifeng finally spoke, "No matter what his identity is, since he came to this Henglong Mountain, the purpose is to fall on the Martial Saint Tomb after all, just pay more attention." ”
When Yu Wenqian heard this, she nodded silently, "That's right, no matter what his identity is, he is here for the Martial Saint Tomb anyway, and the current cooperation is just to take what he needs." Saying that, Yuwen Qian smiled softly, and looked at Xiao Suifeng with gentle eyes, "Childe, I didn't expect you to see it thoroughly." ”
Xiao Suifeng didn't say anything, but suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yu Wenqian stepped forward, but saw Xiao Suifeng squatting down, Yu Wenqian noticed that in front of Xiao Suifeng, there were several traces of broken grass and trees, looking at the green of the crease, it was obviously not long ago, Yu Wenqian immediately reacted, "Someone entered the valley in front of us?"
Xiao Suifeng nodded silently, carefully observed the traces around him, and said softly, "There are at least five or six people." ”
"Five or six people?" Hearing Xiao Suifeng say this, Yu Wenqian also became serious.
If there are only one or two people in the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter, but there are five or six people on the other side, then you need to be careful, after all, you are in the deep mountains and valleys at the moment, and anything can happen, unless it is really enough to communicate with people, otherwise, no one knows what other people have in mind.
The two of them stopped talking, but cautiously searched the valley.
The deeper they probed into the valley, the more obvious the traces left by those people became, and it was obvious that the other party was also carefully searching in this valley like Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian.
After walking so carefully for a while, Xiao Suifeng suddenly stopped again, and this time, his face was a little gloomy and unkind, and he said indifferently, "The traces are gone!"
Yu Wenqian was stunned when she heard this, and then reacted, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes looked around vigilantly, "They found us?"
Xiao Suifeng nodded silently, clenched the short sword in his hand, and searched around vigilantly.
In the valley, the vegetation is dense and shrubs, and the sky is dark and gloomy at the moment, so the vision can only be seen clearly a few feet in front of you, and if you are a little farther away, you can't see clearly, and it is blocked by dense tree branches and leaves.
Xiao Suifeng was trying his best to find the traces of those people in this obscure environment, but before he could find anything, he heard an extremely faint whistling sound.
"Be careful!" Xiao Suifeng immediately woke up, snorted softly, and pulled Yu Wenqian beside him to jump behind a big tree.
I saw that Xiao Suifeng and Yu Wenqian had just jumped away, and they saw several short arrows whizzing over, shooting at the position where the two were standing before, looking at the faint luster on the shoulder, it was actually poisonous!
"Who is so vicious!"
Yu Wenqian looked at the crossbow arrows that shot into the ground and said hatefully, but Xiao Suifeng didn't speak, just stared at the direction where the crossbow arrows came from.
The crossbow bolt was shot from a large tree with thick foliage, but when I looked at it again, I could only see the branches swaying in the mountain wind, but I could not find half a trace of the plotter.
Xiao Suifeng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll lure the enemy out, you are here, see the right time to make a move." ”
Hearing this, Yu Wenqian nodded silently, flipped her palm, and several golden needles had already appeared in her hand, looking at Xiao Suifeng with an indifferent face, and said softly, "You be careful." ”
The Chengying Sword behind his back tightened again, Xiao Suifeng nodded, took the short sword, and rushed out one by one.
Xiao Suifeng's speed is extremely fast, the mountains and forests are full of grass and trees, thorns everywhere, it is very difficult to walk, but at this moment, Xiao Suifeng attacked, Lingyun's body method was unfolded, it was extremely fast, the thorny shrubs that were originally difficult to move an inch were at Xiao Suifeng's feet at this moment, it was as if there was nothing, just a moment of effort, he was easily crossed by several zhang.
A few zhang away in front of Xiao Suifeng, there was a dense shrub and low tree, which was no more than a foot away from the big tree that had shot crossbow arrows before.
This shrub is the most likely new hiding place for the plotter to change after leaving the big tree, although Xiao Suifeng can't be sure, but at this moment, he can only take a risk.
Seeing that Zhang Yu was about to force the bush to the front, Xiao Suifeng, who was moving fast, frowned slightly, "Isn't it really here!"
Just when Xiao Suifeng was puzzled, there was finally movement behind the bush, and a black figure suddenly jumped up, with a pair of chain arm crossbows tied to his arm, and raised his hand towards Xiao Suifeng is two arrows in succession.
Two short arrows shot out in a row, shooting directly at Xiao Suifeng's face, and the person who sneaked up on him was also a ruthless person, after the crossbow arrow was shot, he didn't stop, a choking knife flashed, the man in black raised the long knife in his hand, chased after the two arrows with an arrow step, and swung his knife at Xiao Suifeng to kill.
What a master!
Xiao Suifeng secretly praised in his heart, he had already prepared his steps and easily avoided the short arrow that was shot, and with a wave of the short sword in his hand, the whole person also jumped up, directly attacking the man in black.
