Chapter 71 Chapter Twenty-Eight

At the moment before dawn, darkness enveloped the land, and the sparkling lake surface reflected subtle rays of light, cold and pale, and the footsteps on both sides of the bank seemed to be urging ghosts, and finally caught up at this moment.Chu Qiao's shoulders were stained with blood, her lips were blue and white. The repeated battles and escapes from injuries had exhausted her physical strength to the maximum. However, when the scent of the enemy spread in her breath, she immediately stood up with great willpower. Come on, squint your eyes like a sharp and agile leopard, waiting for the moment of crisis at any time.

Slight footsteps, stepping on the green grass that has just broken the ground, silently. There are more than 20 people in this team, plus four vicious dogs. The leader is an experienced jungle field chaser. Maybe he saw the tragic death of his previous companions. Their appearance made them understand that the person they were about to assassinate was not a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, so they became more cautious.None of the twenty people in the group made a sound, and even the hounds held their breath sensiblely and moved forward slowly. The moonlight was desolate, and the night was full of chills. Chu Qiao's face was calm and composed. As a super commander of the National Security Bureau, keeping calm when a crisis comes is a necessary code and iron law. It is absolutely no accident that 005 can maintain a super excellent record in many years of arduous missions. Maybe her individual combat ability is not as good as the super agents of Operation 9, but she has a calm and calm mind, a sharp mind, and a quick response. , and firm and strong confidence can definitely be the leader in the military department, ensuring that she will always be invincible in battle.

The crowd approached slowly, and suddenly the hounds all ran to the left, roaring loudly. The black-clothed assassins were overjoyed immediately, and one of them said coldly, "Quick! The claws are over there!" More than twenty people quickly passed in front of Chu Qiao, the girl clenched the dagger in her hand, took a long breath, hung the enemy's tail, and followed slowly.Everyone was engrossed in staring at the hound leading the way ahead. The barking of the dog was so loud in the jungle that people ignored the other sounds. They didn't know that the life-threatening evil star was slowly approaching behind.

Holding the dagger in hand, he caught up with the last enemy, and tightly covered his mouth. The dagger went down and ruthlessly inserted into the enemy's neck artery. He rotated and pulled horizontally, and the blood splashed silently. The man struggled for a few times, and then died, with Chu Qiao's accurate confirmation of the dead point of the human body, there was no room for retaliation. The crowd was still moving forward at a very high speed, and no one noticed the rear. After quickly changing the clothes of the deceased, and wrapping his head and face, Chu Qiao seemed to be an assassin in black again. Under such pitch-black lights, no one would aware.

Chu Qiao mixed in the crowd, and sent the two assassins back to the west in the same way while the hound was barking. At this moment, the hound stopped and barked wildly around a big tree. The leader of the assassins stepped back carefully and said in a deep voice : "The paw is on the tree, light the torch!" The bright torches were lit up immediately, and everyone pulled out their crossbow arrows, ready to go, quietly waiting for the opportunity, the leader shouted coldly, and said loudly: "The people above, you can't escape." The cold wind suddenly blew, and among the crisp and oily green branches, the bright red clothes suddenly flashed past, and a dense rain of arrows shot away, densely packed like locusts, but after a while, there was not even the slightest scream. Yes and did not succeed.

A burst of fluttering sounds suddenly sounded on the branches, and the corner of the red clothes flashed, and a person was vaguely seen moving around in the forest.Everyone cheered up, another round of sharp arrows, but after a while, they still got nothing. The leader frowned and was silent for a while, then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Saw the tree!" Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then they all took out their swords and started cutting down trees. Chu Qiao was dressed in black, she was not noticed at all, and she joined the tree-cutting army in a well-behaved manner.

The surrounding ancient trees are towering, thick and huge, it is very difficult to cut off a tree, not to mention they don't have a sharp weapon at hand.After busying for a long time, they were about to succeed when they opened their eyes, and the big tree was shaking and about to fall. Suddenly there was a pop, and everyone raised their heads quickly, only in time to see a red shadow flashing across the sky, gliding under the dark sky. After passing a dark red shadow, it disappeared on another tree. Everyone was dumbfounded. Could this be the legendary lightness skill? The Hongchuan Plateau has a very high terrain and a cold climate. The trees are thick and hardy, but they are not as dense and compact as the tropical rainforest.Everyone raised their heads in a daze, looking at such a huge gap, their scalps couldn't help but tingle.

What kind of strong man is he facing? "You guys, go up and have a look!" The leader immediately ordered in a deep voice, the faces of the people whose names he called turned pale in an instant, but because of the order, they had to start climbing the tree cautiously, everyone backed away, not daring to fight for the front. This big tree is extremely tall, more than 20 meters long, and the branches and leaves above it are flourishing.As soon as the eight assassins went up, the space below immediately seemed empty. The leader glanced at him, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Why are there so few people?"

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, the leader reacted the fastest, drew out his waist knife, and shouted in a low voice: "There are enemies!" However, before he could find the direction of the enemy, there was a startling sound of crossbow arrows, and everyone was frightened. How could they resist the arrows fired at such a short distance? Five people were killed in just one hasty round! The torch fell to the ground. It had just rained, and the forest was cloudy and wet. It was extinguished immediately, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness. Everyone is dressed the same, how can you tell the difference?The leader was shocked. At this moment, a black figure suddenly flashed beside him. The person who came was short and dressed in black, and said in a low voice, "The claws are over there!"

The leader was taken aback, and looked up. However, the moment he raised his head, he already knew that he had been fooled.The killer's assassination opportunity is always in such a short moment, even though he knows everything, it is already too late.The cold dagger was inserted into his throat in an instant, preventing him from even screaming. "head?" In the darkness on the opposite side, someone was foolishly probing, but what responded to him was only a bloodthirsty sharp arrow, which instantly sealed his throat and spurted blood. Chu Qiao's figure was like a ghost, and before the other party screamed, she jumped up and stabbed the sharp blade into the chests of the remaining two assassins with the same swiftness. , under her efficient actions, all accounts were settled, leaving no one behind!

At this moment, the eight assassins above had already climbed to the top of the tree. They seemed to be aware of the situation below. The experienced assassins did not make a sound, but quickly climbed down silently. Chu Qiao came to the side of the big tree that had just been sawed in half, found a good angle, and suddenly swung the saber on the ground to chop down violently. Hearing the continuous cracking sound, the people above immediately realized what she was going to do, and all of them lost their minds and sped up their speed.However, at this moment, the big tree broke suddenly and moved towards the direction of the giant tree with people. With the momentum of thunder, the big tree shook violently with a bang, and the people on it suddenly roared down from a height of more than 20 meters. There was a bang bang sound, and it fell heavily on the ground. Suddenly, no one was able to stand up intact. How could Chu Qiao give them time to catch their breath, a round of arrows rained away densely, and after a while, there was no more living on the ground. The big tree was still shaking, and there was a dead silence all around.A red shadow fluttered down from above, the girl pulled off the black face scarf, and raised her hand to take the red shadow. There was only a chirping sound, and the person bound under the red robe was actually a young yellow bird.The little bird was bound by the heavy clothes and could not fly high. It could only glide and flutter among the big trees, and even its calls were covered by the clothes. The girl's light white fingers brushed the bird's bright yellow feathers, and the black clothes still couldn't conceal the strong bloody smell, she stretched out her hand and let go, the bird cheered and flew away. In the dark night, the girl's figure was like a ghost, and she disappeared into the dense night in an instant. "Li Ce!" The girl's voice was crisp and clear, echoing by the pool. "Jojo, I'm still here." The man stood up, shook his arms happily, watched Chu Qiao quickly jump to her side, looked behind her twice, and said, "You killed them all?" Chu Qiao kept silent, came to the pool, scooped up a handful of water, and drank it. "Jojo, that's amazing!" Li Ce happily squatted beside Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao frowned at his tattered clothes, then casually threw his robe back to him and said, "Put it on." "Oh." The man put on his clothes obediently, with an excited expression, without the slightest sense of being a prey. "Qiao Qiao, shall we still go to them now?" Chu Qiao frowned, Li Ce was taken aback, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and explained: "I think we can kill them all, so that it will be easier for us to escape." The girl raised a finger, shook it slowly, and said in a deep voice: "First, it's me, not us. Second, there are thousands of enemies, how many do you think I can kill? If you still like Just now, when I see a mouse, I usually yell, I will be killed by you sooner or later. Don’t blame me for not notifying you in advance, when there is no way out, I am willing to hand you over to change my own way of life.” Li Ce frowned, with a sad look, he tugged at the corner of Chu Qiao's clothes: "Qiao Qiao, don't be so heartless." The girl suddenly let out a muffled snort, causing Li Ce to withdraw his hand in a hurry, only to see a large stream of blood oozing out of the place he just pulled, obviously another new injury. Chu Qiao frowned and checked, only to see an arrow wound under her left rib. The wound was not very big, but it was bleeding rapidly, and the pain was unbearable. She hadn't noticed such a wound just now. "Qiao Qiao, you're injured again." Li Ce frowned, and said worriedly, "How is it? Does it matter? You have to hold on." Chu Qiao put her hands on the wound, closed her eyes and leaned against the tree, and said in a deep voice, "Help me bandage." "what?" "Help me bandage!" The girl's voice suddenly became sharper. Li Ce nodded like a garlic, and clumsily tore off a piece of clothing, lifting the girl's clothes, revealing her delicate skin that was stained red with blood. An arrow was deeply inserted under the left rib, and both sides were swollen and red. Li Ce grabbed the broken arrow, frowned and said, "Qiao Qiao, if it hurts, call out, or you can bite me." .” Chu Qiao closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and remained silent. Li Ce's face showed a rare solemnity, he held the arrow, frowned suddenly, and pulled it out! Blood splattered immediately, Li Ce tightly covered the wound with a cloth strip, Chu Qiao grunted in pain, and fell forward.Li Ce opened his other arm and hugged the girl tightly in his arms. "Qiao Qiao? Qiao Qiao?" Li Ce's voice suddenly panicked. He couldn't see the girl's face, but could only feel the sticky blood on his hands, which made his heart twitch tightly. He whispered nervously: "Jojo? How are you?" "I can't die yet." A low and hoarse voice sounded slowly, the girl took a deep breath, resting her chin on Li Ce's shoulder, breathing heavily. Li Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly bandaged her to stop the bleeding.The night was dark and icy cold, and the girl's body was as cold as ice. Li Ce suddenly knew that she could no longer stand a fight. However, at this fatal moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, and the two of them sat up straight like nervous rabbits, with their brows furrowed and their eyes sharp. "What should I do?" Chu Qiao frowned, she had no fighting strength, and the smell of blood here was so heavy, there was only one dead end.The only way out is to take down Li Ce and exchange his outfit for a chaotic situation so that he can escape safely. Her eyes slowly glanced at the man sitting at the side, only to see the man frowning tightly, with a rare solemn and serious expression. She is not a savior, and saving people must be within the scope of one's ability. When acting bravely threatens one's own life, a smart person will immediately know how to choose. Besides, Li Ce's death will bring huge benefits to Yan Xun, she should know what to do, must know what to do, and should do so.She still has a heavier burden on her shoulders, and there are still people waiting for her. Her life is still precious, and she is not allowed to give up easily. His fingers touched the dagger tied to his calf heavily, ready to go. "Qiao Qiao!" Li Ce turned his head suddenly, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice: "I'll lure people away, you take the opportunity to escape, be careful!" Chu Qiao was taken aback, her eyes widened. Li Ce took off his coat, put it on Chu Qiao's body, took out a long metal tube from his waist, handed it to her, and said, "I don't know martial arts. It is a sharp weapon for self-defense, as long as you pull the lead wire, fifty flying needles will shoot out, and there is a strong poison on it, which will kill you if you touch it, and it can be fired three times in a row. You should keep it carefully, and it can save your life at a critical moment.” Chu Qiao held the metal cylinder in a daze, frowned, and looked at Li Ce in puzzlement, as if she wanted to see through this man. "Hehe, did you suddenly realize that you fell in love with me?" Li Ce suddenly smiled, showing his white teeth, and patted Chu Qiao's shoulder with a smile: "It's okay, when you return to Zhenhuang, you still have a chance." "Li Ce!" Chu Qiao suddenly grabbed the man who was about to leave, and said in a deep voice, "I give you this thing, I don't need it." "I don't need it either. In fact, I don't know how to use it. I've heard them say it's so scary. I'm afraid that if the needle accidentally hits me, wouldn't that be a disaster? Give me a try first. If it works, I'll use it later." Go back and make more batches." Chu Qiao frowned, bit her lower lip lightly, finally let go of her palm, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful." Li Ce smiled: "Jojo too, I will learn kung fu from you after I go back." Chu Qiao nodded, and the man stood up, staggering through the thorns on the ground, and headed towards the direction of noisy footsteps. "Hey! You bring the knife!" Li Ce didn't look back, but just waved his hands casually. Under the cold moonlight, he saw that the man was holding a jagged and uneven stone in his hand, which was stained with blood. His clothes were torn and his steps were staggering. Prince Tang's demeanor is like a down and out beggar. Chu Qiao looked at his back, and gradually let go of the hand holding the dagger.
