Chapter 7: The Legend of the Hunter

Li Tan raised his hand to hold the arrow, pulled the longbow hard, and released it violently, and the wooden arrow shot towards a man in black like lightning.

The man in black in front was carefully searching for the trap, and suddenly heard a gust of wind coming, the secret path was not good, and he moved his body to dodge, but the arrow came too fast, and he didn't give him any chance at all.

How could he believe that an ordinary hunter would have such archery skills, so at the moment of death, he was still frightened in his eyes, and he fell to the ground with an unwilling face......

Chasing along the way, more than half of the men in black were killed and wounded, either in the trap or under Li Tan's unguardable arrows.

But this group of people in black was obviously specially trained, so they didn't have the slightest panicked look in such a situation, and some just had a cold face. After leaving the dead behind, he continued to move on, moving much slower and more carefully.

With the passage of time, the search range of the man in black became smaller and smaller, and the opportunities left for Li Tan became less and less.

......

Suddenly, there was a ......scream of "Ahhh

After Li Tan shot a man in black, he hid in another tree again, quietly breathing, what he needed now was time, so he had to seize every opportunity......

"It's coming!" Li Tan said secretly. "Boom!", another man in black was shot, but the man in black avoided the key point in time and blocked the wooden arrow with his hand, but he still fell, because the wooden arrow was also coated with great poison.

......

In ancient times, there was a person in the wilderness, hunting the world with the bow in his hand, and finally in order to save the world, he turned arrows and shot the sun and nine suns with his life, becoming the king of hunters and becoming an eternal legend. This great hunter is the ancestor of the hunter - the hunting god Houyi.

Li Tan learned to hunt with his grandfather at the age of six, and began to live independently at the age of fourteen, hovering countless times on the edge of life and death, learning from experience and growing up in battles again and again. No matter how good a hunter is, he can only catch wild beasts, but a hunter can hunt all the prey he wants, which requires not only strength and courage, but also wisdom and experience. At this moment, he has already surpassed the shackles of hunters, although he is far inferior to his ancestor Houyi, but he has become a qualified hunter.

......

Li Tan, who was sitting on the tree, suddenly remembered his wife, and all kinds of tastes came to his heart. He became an orphan when he was fourteen years old, if he hadn't met Yue Fan's mother, Ning Yue, he might have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years by now. It's just that his wife's early departure broke his heart, but whenever he thinks of his wife's gentleness and smile, he can't help but giggle, that is a kind of happiness from the heart.

......

After a moment of stunned effort, the rest of the black-clothed people suddenly retreated and gathered towards a wide terrain. The black shadow flashed, and the leader just now appeared here again.

"How many people are killed and wounded now. The leader asked coldly.

"Seventeen people in the Shadow Group died. ”

"Have you found any enemies?"

"Not yet. ”

The leader pondered for a moment and said: "This mission is my mistake, underestimating the strength of the other party, causing such a loss, I will want to ask my son to apologize when I go back." The most important thing now is to destroy all three of them, otherwise we will have to die to atone for our sins. From now on, all actions are under my command, and you must not act rashly. ”

"Yes!" ......

The leader leaned forward as he searched his surroundings with his psionic sense, but found no breath other than his own. But there are so many traps arranged along the way, even a master like him is forced to move forward, and he secretly said in his heart: "If I hadn't made my own move, I'm afraid the rest of the people would have to fall here, it seems that the person who arranged the trap is really unusual." And the group of black-clothed people who followed him broke out in a cold sweat when they looked at so many traps.

Li Tan watched everything that happened in front of him from a distance, but he was helpless in his heart. As he himself said before, in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trickery are vulnerable. However, Li Tan is by no means a person who gives up lightly, in order to win the last chance, he has to work harder.

Then he climbed a taller tree and raised his bow, this time he did not shoot the arrow immediately, but aimed at the target with his heart. This time, the target was the leader of the group of men in black, and Li Tan was confident that as long as he eliminated the leader, he would definitely have a chance to escape.

Seeing the group of black-clothed people getting closer and closer, just a hundred steps, Li Tan moved. With a burst of his right hand, the arrow slashed through the leaf like a meteor and shot straight at the leader.

After all, the leader was a super-first-class master, and although the arrows were fast, he was confident that this speed would not pose any threat to him, so he snorted coldly and raised his hand, trying to catch the arrows......

"Beware of poison on arrows!" a person behind him hurriedly reminded.

When the leader heard this, he frowned, and immediately retracted his hand, wrapped his sleeve, and led the wooden arrow aside, "Bang!"

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the leader looked solemn. Because just as he was leading away the first wooden arrow, the second wooden arrow had already followed, and the speed was much faster than the arrow just now, so he didn't think much about it, and quickly turned around, waving his sleeves to block the arrow, which narrowly avoided the vital point.

But when the arrow came out, the sleeve of the collar was torn, and even the arm was badly injured. He frowned, didn't have time to think about it, immediately pulled out the dagger and cut it into the wound on his arm, snorted, a small piece of meat fell to the ground, and then slowly turned black, and then took out a pill and put it in his mouth, which was out of danger.

The situation just now was very critical, and if he had hesitated a little or slowed down by half a step, then he would be dead by now.

At this time, the leader did not dare to take it lightly, and hurriedly shouted: "Hide behind a tree." After taking care of his wounds, he turned over and jumped onto the treetops, carefully observing the situation ahead.

Perhaps it was the favor of the heavens, the snow was flying, so that the leader couldn't see the situation in the distance at all, so he gave Li Tan more respite, giving him a chance to sneak away from his place.

In desperation, the leader had no choice but to come down from the heights. To the group of black-clothed people, you all stay here, I'll go and see it alone, and then run forward after giving the order......

The leader really did a good job, and moved forward while changing his direction, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived at the tree where Li Tan stayed just now, quietly observed the surrounding situation, and found nothing, and secretly hated in his heart: "This guy is really cunning, hum!"

......

―――――――――――― chased all the way, killed all the way, and the leader was now angry to the extreme, not only to be careful of the traps, but also to repel the attacks of the beasts, and to guard against Li Tan's cold arrows. I am not willing to give up, but I can't chase too quickly, so it lasts for an hour, and no one will feel happy if I change it.

Li Tan's situation was even worse at this time, there were fewer and fewer tools in his hands, and his physical strength was almost unbearable. He knew that when his physical strength was exhausted, he would not have any chance of survival. After repeated consideration, Li Tan decided to make a last stand.

Fleeing all the way, Li Tan has already taken the enemy around the deep red leaf forest twice, and quietly buried saltpeter in many places, as long as these are detonated, he believes that this group of black-clothed people will definitely be blown up to the bones, but the premise is that the enemy must be within the scope of the trap to succeed.

Because the enemy followed too closely, Li Tan never had a chance to trigger the trap, and seeing that he was about to be unable to support it, he decided to use himself as a bait to lure the enemy into the trap to see if he could fight for that glimmer of life.

Li Tan, who was hiding, deliberately exposed his flaws and began to run into the depths of the forest in embarrassment......

The leader has been searching for so long, and now that he finally found Li Tan's figure, his excitement is self-evident, and his spirit is lifted, and he immediately chases after him. But he always had scruples about Li Tan's archery in his heart, so the speed of moving forward was not very fast.

But a master is a master after all, although the leader's forward speed is not fast, but chasing a person who does not know martial arts is naturally a light move, and a few ups and downs will cross Li Tan and block him on the way.

He landed on a branch, carefully looked at Li Tan on another tree, and said curiously in his heart: "I didn't expect an ordinary hunter to be so powerful, it seems that I really underestimate the people of the world." ”

The leader stood with his hands in his hands and said coldly: "Tell me, where are the others, I will let you die happily and leave you with your whole body." The tone was cold and arrogant, with a hint of anger and disdain, as if he had given others a great gift.

"Hmph!" Li Tan said with a murderous face: "You beasts, you are inhumane, hurtful to nature, and you don't even let go of innocent people. I think of me, how can I give in to you, even if I die, I will be waiting for you in hell......"

During the conversation, a group of men in black rushed over and surrounded him in the middle.

Only then did the leader relax his heart, and in this way, the other party had no chance to escape again. said in a gloomy tone: "Since you don't want to say it, then let you try the power of my seventy-two forbidden hands and see how many times you can hold out." Hmph!" said and flew towards Li Tan with both feet.

Li Tan's expression was concentrated, without a trace of panic, and he threw two daggers at the fastest speed, shooting them directly into the other party's eyes.

The speed of the dagger is extremely fast, not inferior to the few arrows just now. The leader snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Carving insect skills." As he spoke, he rolled over and dodged the dagger's attack, but his speed slowed down.

"Let's all go to hell!"

Li Tan suddenly shouted, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed, and his hair rose with the wind, and his face was hideous, which made people daunting. The arm was quickly raised, and he skillfully mounted an arrow, drew the bow into a full circle, and then released it violently, and the arrow flew out silently......

This arrow injected the strength of Li Tan's whole body, and at the moment of releasing the arrow, a white mark flashed on his forehead, but no one noticed it in this tense environment, which looked extremely weird.

When the leader heard Li Tan shouting, his heart sank, he couldn't catch the speed of the arrow with his eyes, and a fear spread all over his body. The body spun sharply and fell to the ground.

"Did you make a mistake?" the leader wondered when he realized that the arrow was not coming at him, but what happened next stunned him.

The arrow landed under a tree, colliding with the ground in a burst of sparks, and then with a loud "boom!", the ground suddenly exploded, splashing stone chips and flying everywhere.

"Pengβ€”"

"Boom-boom-boom-"

"Not good!" the leader came to his senses, immediately defended the vital point, and jumped onto another large tree. But before he could stand firm, there were several loud bangs, and the ground near him exploded.

Seeing this, the leader hurriedly exercised his body, "Bang!" and "poof!" still couldn't withstand the huge impact, and the whole person was shocked and flew out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The group of black-clothed people who surrounded Li Tan were all stunned when they saw the sudden explosion under the leader's feet, and when the same situation happened around them, it was too late. Such a sudden change could not even be withstood by a master like their leader, let alone these people.

The point where the arrow landed was where the saltpeter was buried, and the sparks from the friction detonated the saltpeter, and the sparks from the explosion then detonated the nearby saltpeter. Such a continuous explosion is even more powerful.

Everything seemed to be going according to Li Tan's design, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the arrow just now actually drained all the power in his body, so that he didn't even have the ability to move.

In desperation, Li Tan smiled bitterly, and said secretly in his heart: "I really can't imagine that people are not as good as heaven!" and then was shocked by the huge impact. Floating in the air, his heart was extremely peaceful at the moment, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Xiaoyue, I'm here to accompany you, after so many years, are you still waiting for me?" and then drowned in the firelight and stone chips......

Although there is heavy snow in the sky now, it cannot hide the ruins in the depths of the autumn leaf forest.

The powerful destructive power just now is really terrifying. Lying on the ground, the leader was secretly glad in his heart: "It's good that I was blown out, otherwise my fate will be the same as everyone else, and I will become a pile of ashes." ”

Looking at the ruins in front of him, the leader's heart was gloomy. He could never have imagined that he would pay such a heavy price in order to deal with a person.

Everyone in the Shadow Group has been cultivated by the organization with countless efforts, and they have performed countless dangerous missions but have survived until now, they can be regarded as the elite of the elite, but they did not expect that the entire thirty-six people of the Shadow Group are all left in this forest today.

"Alas!" the leader sighed helplessly, got up and looked at the ruins in front of him again, and then dragged his badly wounded body away.

In the ruins of the red leaf forest, the snow suddenly danced without wind, and in an instant, a burst of white light flashed, and the place returned to calm.

......

―――――――――――― a hut, the leader stood in front of Wang Song with his head bowed.

"What? all dead!?"

The tone was full of shock, surprise and disbelief. Wang Song knew that his subordinates would never dare to deceive him, but what he heard now made him accept. In Wang Song's eyes, the Shadow Group was only useful and of course, it was nothing, but at this moment, they were all dead at the hands of an ordinary hunter, and the fact that this kind of impact was too great for him. He has always thought that he was innocent, but this kind of thing would happen, this was undoubtedly a heavy slap in his face, and he wanted to show his strength, but he became the laughing stock of others.

At this moment, Wang Song's face was extremely gloomy, and he said coldly: "Tell me all the process, I want to miss a word." ”

"Yes!" the leader recounted the process word for word......

......

There was silence in the hut!

Wang Song suddenly asked, "According to what you say, is there any news that there is no remnant party now?" The tone was extremely cold, making people feel terrified.

The leader hurriedly threw his head on the ground and replied, "Yes, after the death of the Orion, the others lost their news. ”

"Hmph!" Wang Song was furious, and with a bang, the entire table was scattered into pieces. Such a deep internal force is definitely not something that ordinary masters can do, it seems that this is also a master for Song Gongzi. The leader's body trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to say a word.

As if to vent the anger in his heart, Wang Song's tone changed, and he said lightly: "Originally, you should have been a capital crime this time...... Hearing this, the leader's heart tightened. "But I have been thinking of you and me for many years, and this is the time to employ people, so I will spare your life for the time being, and give you the opportunity to atone for your sins......"

Hearing the latter words, the leader's heart relaxed slightly, and his face was full of gratitude, and he hurriedly thanked him: "Gongzi Xie forgives the villain, and the villain swears allegiance to the son." ”

Wang Song is in a high position, he has learned this royal man since he was a child, and now he is naturally familiar with it, and the combination of grace and power is the king's way. Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, Wang Song nodded with satisfaction and said, "You go down first to recuperate, and then come to me when your injuries are healed!" After speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

The leader also retired and left......

In the hut, as soon as the light dimmed, a man dressed in black and covered in black sand knelt in front of Wang Song, and said in a clear and respectful voice: "What do you command?" ”

Wang Song pretended to lie on the chair and said lightly: "Ghost, you also heard the situation just now, you go and destroy all the remaining remnants, I don't want any news to leak out." The words were full of confidence, as if they already knew the outcome.

"Yes, Childe. ”

After speaking, the ghost disappeared into the room, yes, it disappeared, not too fast to be seen, it disappeared instantly, this is a secret method in the magic "space movement".

This is exactly the strength of Wang Song, only those who have personally experienced the magic will know the horror of the magic. He sent such a strange person this time, it seems that Mr. Wan and Xiao Ya'er are really lucky......

―――――――――――― the next day.

In Ningxian County, inside the iron prison of the Yamen, Yue Fan opened his eyes under the first rays of light. At this time, he did not know that the village had become ashes, and he did not know that his relatives and friends were on the verge of life and death.

After waking up, Yue Fan's body suddenly shook, and he quickly got up and moved to the side of the iron railing, shouting loudly......

These days, Li Yun would get up early every day to teach Yue Fan, which had become a habit. But when Yue Fan woke up just now, he felt a little different, and after perceiving it with his spiritual power, he found that Li Yun's breath had become weaker and weaker.

Yue Fan shouted a lot, but there was still no response. So in a hurry, he didn't care about anything else, "Drink!" and shouted, pulled the iron bars to both sides, and walked through.

Some people are like this, although they know that they will be separated sooner or later, but when it comes to parting, they are very difficult to give up. Yue Fan knew that the old man was about to die from the day he first arrived at the iron prison, and he had already regarded him as his own relative when he got along with the old man these days, and at this time, seeing that the old man was about to pass away, a burst of grief suddenly surged in his heart.

Hurriedly turned over the hay and slowly picked up the old man, now Yue Fan was a little at a loss, his slightly trembling right hand gently touched the old man's somewhat cold face, and his eyes became moist. Yue Fan is definitely not a weak person, on the contrary, the hardships since he was a child have made his heart very strong. How many years of hard life, how many difficult challenges, did not shake his heart, even when he learned the news of his mother's death, he was not so sad, but now he has wet his eyes for this old man who has only known him for a few days.

This is the first time that Yue Fan has personally experienced the grief of a loved one's departure. The cyan vitality in his body turned rapidly and gradually thickened, but Yue Fan didn't pay attention to it, he just wanted to spend more time with his relatives now.

Li Yun slowly opened his eyes, raised his left hand with difficulty, touched Yue Fan's face, and said in a weak tone: "Child, don't be sad, people will inevitably die...... This day should have come a long time ago, but I have many regrets in my heart that I can't let go, so I live until now...... I have nothing to regret when I met you before I died, and I heard you call me grandpa...... If you can't find my family in the future, you have to take me to live well, maybe they are all dead...... If they all die, then I will have only one relative in this world...... Xiao Fan ...... Can you say grandpa to me again......" The old man's voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Grandpa... Grandfather... Grandpa..."

Constantly screaming, Yue Fan choked up a little and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will find your family, I will tell them to live well, they will definitely ......" Seeing the old man slowly close his eyes, he knew that this venerable old man would never wake up again. So he didn't speak, he didn't move, he just quietly hugged the old man's body and froze there.

The old man left, leaving behind a lot of regrets and reluctance to leave.

......

After a long time, Yue Fan came back to his senses from his sorrow.

When the jailers first walked in, they were stunned when they saw the iron bars that had been pulled apart. In their minds, the iron fence is so hard that they don't even want to pull it on their own, but someone can pull it away. Suddenly, Yue Fan became a very dangerous person in their hearts, and the jailer didn't dare to be as arrogant as before, so he honestly carried the old man's body away.

......

―――――――――――― since the destruction of Liushui Village, the prefect of the Yamen is no longer as idle as before. More than 200 people died, and no matter what the reason, he would definitely not be able to shirk his responsibility, and his heart was extremely anxious. So while constantly sending people around to find clues, he also visited some colleagues and gentry everywhere.

The prefect is now in a state of turmoil, a day has passed, but there is no clue, just when he feels desperate, he suddenly receives the news from 'above'. Let him not ask about this matter, just say that the bandits near Liushui Village were in turmoil, and more than 200 people in the village died at the hands of the bandits, and the imperial court was investigating the matter.

Hearing such news, the prefect naturally understood that this matter must be related to the people in the court. But since the 'above' has intervened in this matter, then there is nothing to worry about.

......

Two days later, the prefect received an official letter from the Criminal Department that Yue Fan was sentenced to four years in the army and could only regain his freedom after the completion of his service. So under the escort of several officers and soldiers, he went all the way north and walked to the border wasteland. From now on, a new life is about to begin, whether it is bitter or sweet, sad or joyful, no one can predict, but he firmly believes that he will go on, because he still has concerns in his heart.

......
