Chapter Thirty-Seven: Life and Death
Elder Lan Hong took such pains to treat Ranji, and Ranji seemed to understand his painstaking efforts, he didn't seem to have changed anything because of the events of that day, he was still so silent and alone, he didn't talk to people much, and he became more diligent in practicing archery. Elder Lan Hong secretly observed for a while, but he didn't find anything wrong, Rang Ji didn't like to talk because he had been like this since he was a child, and he didn't care very much, so he didn't pay too much attention to him.
What Elder Lan Hong didn't know was that Ran Ji wasn't actually grateful for having Elder Lan Mao comfort him. On the contrary, I felt very ashamed and angry. Originally, Rankie thought that no one knew about the embarrassment at that time and the jealousy in his heart at that moment, but Elder Lan Hong's behavior made him know that this qiē had already been seen by him, which made Rankie feel extremely insecure, because he found that his heart was completely broken by Elder Lan Hong.
Rang Ji had an inexplicable hatred for Elder Lan Hong, not only did he hate Elder Lan Hong for seeing through him and not saying anything, but he actually sued Elder Lan Mao. Rankie didn't know if Elder Lanhong had sued the other Jianmu Spirits, but it already made him feel a cold feeling of betrayal. As a result, Rang Ji began to alienate Elder Lan Hong on the grounds that he was diligent in his archery practice, and he originally lived in Elder Lan Hong's house, but now he moved out and built another room in the place where he usually practiced archery.
Elder Lan Hong didn't have any doubts about this, after Rang Ji joined the Escort Team, there were too many things than before, and Rang Ji had grown up, so he naturally had to learn to live independently. Therefore, Elder Lan Hong not only did not object, but also expressed his strong support, believing that Rang Ji had grown up and matured. But what Elder Lan Hong didn't expect was that Lan Ji didn't practice archery more diligently, on the contrary, he spent less and less time practicing archery than before, and he spent most of his time tracking Lan Yao!
The Jianmu clan are born with the ability to be invisible, not only to other creatures, but also to each other within a certain distance. Since that day, Lan Ji has been smiling at Lan Yao in his heart, Lan Yao's shadow always flashes in his mind, and her voice always rings in his ears. Especially in the middle of the night. When the bright moon sank in the west, he couldn't sleep.
So, from a certain time, Rangie began to follow Lan Yao by magic. At first, he just wanted to see Lan Yao. But he was afraid that Lan Yao would ask him about the purpose of going to her. So he chose to go incognito. This kind of behavior is against the clan rules in the Jianmu clan, but Rangi seems to have forgotten that there is such a clause in the clan rules at that time.
Rangie tracked Lan Yao most of the time during the day, because at night. Not only does he need to go to patrol with the Jianmu Essence of the other escorts to prevent the mountain rats from attacking, but according to the habits of the Jianmu clan, Lan Yao will also go to bed early and have nothing to follow.
Lan Yao didn't know Lan Ji behind her, but she knew that she had Lan Qian behind her. Lan Qian followed Lan Yao because when Lan Yao was collecting fruits outside the Jianmu Forest, she was naughty and playful, got rid of other Jianmu spirits, walked alone into the depths of the woods, and was accidentally targeted by the spies of the wolves. Lan Yao didn't know the depths, not only did she not run away, but instead shot the two wolves who were following him with her bow and arrows, which provoked the entire wolf pack to chase after her.
Hearing the wolf howls one after another, and seeing the gray shadows jumping between the trees around her, Lan Yao was so frightened that her face was pale, and just when she was about to escape, she found that it was too late, she had been surrounded by wolves for a long time, and the Jianmu arrows she was carrying by her had also been shot clean. Seeing that the encirclement of the wolves was shrinking more and more, Lan Yao finally felt real fear for the first time in her life, and couldn't help but scream. Fortunately, Lan Qian was practicing archery in the woods outside the Jianmu Forest at that time, and when he heard the voice, he immediately called out loudly to the other Jianmu spirits who were picking fruits, and at the same time quickly found Lan Yao, who was surrounded by wolves.
That was the first time Lan Yao had seen Lan Qian's archery skills! By the time Lan Qian arrived, the wolves had already surrounded Lan Yao in the center, less than twenty zhang apart, and Lan Yao was holding a bow, constantly pulling the empty string left and right, pretending to shoot arrows to intimidate the wolves. The wolves heard the sound of the bowstring, and they were a little taboo at first, but later they found that there was no arrow out of the empty string, and suddenly two wolves roared and pounced on Lan Yao in place.
Seeing this, Lan Yao screamed in fright, waved the Jianmu bow in his hand and wanted to pull the two wolves away, but he instinctively took a step back because of fear, and fell to the grass as soon as his legs were weak, and the Jianmu bow in his hand also fell out. Fortunately, this fall just avoided the wolf's kiss, and the two wolves pounced directly on her head.
But I didn't have to rejoice, five more wolves jumped up from all directions, and they all pounced on Lan Yao, Lan Yao lost the Jianmu bow, and there was nothing to resist, in this case, even stealth could not be done. When those wolves pounced, they carried a fishy smell, and at this time, the wind came, Lan Yao exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly turned her head over.
Just when Lan Yao accepted his fate, 'swishing and swishing', five extremely subtle arrows, followed by five wolves all let out a miserable scream, fell to the ground from mid-air, and died of convulsions. As soon as Lan Yao looked up, she saw a Jianmu spirit standing in front of her, protecting her in front of her, constantly firing arrows at the wolves. His hands were so fast that he couldn't see how he pulled out his arrows and shot them, but every time he fired, many wolves screamed and fell to the ground. And the essence of Jianmu was extremely agile, and the bows and arrows were exchanged left and right, sometimes left, sometimes right, suddenly forward, suddenly backward, a sharp shot, and suddenly a large number of wolves surrounded them died. The wolves walked around in panic and retreated in a miserable howl, but they only increased the encirclement and did not really evacuate!
The spirit of Jianmu also stopped at this time, but he was holding his bow and rushing at the wolves, as long as the wolves there moved, even if one foot took a tentative step forward, he would quickly aim his bow at it. For a while, the wolves did not dare to act rashly, and the spirit of Jianmu did not fire any more arrows. Lan Yao only saw clearly at this time that the essence of this building wood was Lan Qian. And there were eight arrows lined up on his bow!
Lan Yaofu escaped from death, and with Lan Qian's archery skills, he gradually turned from fear to surprise, and from surprise to surprise, and quickly stood up from the ground and shouted: "Lan Qian, why don't you shoot them quickly, so that I can vent my anger." They wanted to eat me?"
After destroying it several times, Lan Qian didn't say a word, just focused on confronting the wolves. Lan Yao was very angry. He was about to scold, but when he saw that the quiver on Lan Qian's waist was empty, he shouted in fright: "What? you only have the last eight arrows left!" The quiver of the Jianmu Spirit clan can hold a hundred arrows per generation. And their quivers are very special. The Jianmu Arrow has been refined by mana. The quiver is not bulky to pack, and the portions are very lightweight, making it easy to access. Lan Qian was just practicing archery. Hurriedly came, there were not many arrows with him, and he was in a hurry to save Lan Yao from the wolf's kiss just now, and the arrows had been exhausted by a quick shot.
Lan Yao's shout made Lan Qian stunned, and his heart was bitter, and sure enough, he saw that the wolves around him began to whine and try to get closer again. Although those wolves couldn't understand Lan Yao's words, the horror in their words was felt by them. Lan Qian was secretly anxious in his heart, when he confronted the wolves just now, his eyes were looking for where the head wolf in the pack was, but after looking for a long time, he never found any trace of the head wolf. Now the wolves were screamed by Lan Yao, and they became suspicious, only by finding the wolves and killing it quickly could they have a chance of survival.
The wolves around him let out a whining cry, and the green light flashed in his eyes, Lan Yao knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he became scared, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Lan Qian's arm. Who knew that Lan Qian happened to be in the gap between the wolves at this time, and suddenly saw a wolf sitting on the ground, not big but very powerful, knowing that this was a wolf, he immediately made a decision and shot an arrow.
This opportunity was fleeting, and the arrows flew out and needed to be shot through the gap at the moment when the wolves were mistaken, but Lan Qian grasped this opportunity very skillfully and seized it at once. But what Lan Qian never expected was that at the moment when he fired the arrow, Lan Yao also happened to grab his arm, and suddenly an arrow deflected, hitting an ordinary wolf next to the wolf, and was about to shoot him to death.
The wolf was immediately alert, turned and disappeared into the pack, and let out a strange howl. When the wolves heard this cry, they all fell silent in an instant, and then saw more than a dozen wolves jumping up together, and pounced on Lan Qian and Lan Yao regardless of their lives.
Lan Qian just walked out with an arrow, and there were seven arrows in his hand, it was impossible to kill these dozen wolves, not to mention that there were almost hundreds of wolves waiting around. But at the moment when the dozen wolves jumped up, Lan Qian whispered to Lan Yao, "Follow me." He turned around and looked at the place where the wolf was dodging just now, and three arrows were shot one after another, and each arrow was shot, and one wolf was shot up and fell towards the other wolves, and then exploded among the wolves. After three arrows, the wolves in front of him were surrounded by a tear open, at this time, Lan Qian quickly turned around and sent an arrow, and the arrows passed through the two wolves like meteors, which were the two of the dozen wolves that jumped up just now and had already pounced on Lan Yao.
After shooting an arrow, Lan Qian immediately turned around to look for the wolf, but saw the wolves running, where could he still see the shadow of the wolf. But the opportunity must not be lost, since the encirclement has been torn apart, Lan Qian beckoned Lan Yao: "Hurry up!" and hurriedly rushed forward. There is a forest in front of you, and at least if you enter the forest, you can go up to the trees to take shelter for a while. The other Wood Spirits should be in the middle of nowhere, so they can survive.
Lan Yao heard Lan Qian's shout, and hurriedly followed, but somehow her legs were weak, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden, exclaiming: "Lan Qian!"
Lan Qian had already rushed out of the mouth, heard Lan Yao shouting, and looked back to see that Lan Yao was still surrounded and fell to the ground, and the wolves behind her surrounded her again, almost scared away. Without hesitation, he turned and rushed back, and two wolves roared and lunged at him from both sides, trying to stop him. Lan Qian was reluctant to use arrows, held one end of the wooden bow, pumped left and right, and the two wolves were swept aside.
Lan Qian hurriedly rushed to Lan Yao's side, and before he had time to say anything, he picked her up from the ground and was about to rush out again. When he turned around, he was surrounded by wolves again. (To be continued......)
