Chapter 40 Sky Fright

Qiongtang fought for the mute's life, and the people and things he couldn't find couldn't escape Qiongtang's nose.At that moment, Poor Tang flew towards a position behind the mute that he could not see with his eyes. This position should have been considered by the other party long ago.Just face the mute's back, out of sight.Then use silent movements to get as close to the mute as possible.But he didn't expect that besides the eyes and ears, the dumb also has a nose, and it is an extremely sensitive nose.It's just that the nose left for a while, and at the behest of the mute, it frightened a giant ape in armor, and then slipped silently to a designated location to trigger a pre-set small crossbow.

After Poor Tang's nose found the danger, it flew out without making any sound.Usually only ferocious and cunning beasts would do this, just like the rules of an assassin, they should attack with all their strength without the opponent being aware of it. But after flying out, Qiongtang uttered a howl before he landed, which was also the wailing that Qi Junyuan heard just now.It stands to reason that this howling is also in line with the assassin's rules. Since he has missed, he should immediately sound a warning to his companions. Poor Tang was surrounded by a bunch of branches and grass stalks.It was a large group of branches and grass stalks, enough to bind the next person.And this was originally intended to be used to bandage the mute, but now Qiong Tang bears it for him.

At this moment, the dumb figure moved like lightning, hiding himself in a relatively safe corner.Then all he has to do is make other people very insecure.The problem is that the threat behind him is as invisible, no matter the sight or the ears, he has not been able to find him out. It wasn't until the threatening opponent took the initiative to speak, that the mute had direction and purposefully fired seven stone pills toward the location where the sound was made.But these stone pills only hit the flowers and leaves, none of them responded by hitting the flesh. However, Qi Junyuan's advice was really useful. He only took four steps according to the steps mentioned, and found a figure hidden under the big-leaf sunflower, so the stone pills were sent out again and again.

The hidden adversary is taking the mute seriously.He doesn't have a bow, crossbow, shield, let alone a slingshot, but he has a fishing drum. (A simple musical instrument, which existed in the Tang Dynasty, was used by Taoist priests to preach and raise money, so it is also called a Taoist tube. It is divided into two parts, a bamboo tube covered with pigskin, which makes drum sounds when beat. There is also a pair of statues It is a simple board like a long clip, which is the combination of crisp rhythmic sound and drum sound. It is held by Zhang Guolao among the Eight Immortals.) From the appearance, there is no big difference between this fishing drum and other fishing drums.What's a little special is that he is not playing at this time, but the opponent's pair of simple boards is always held in his left hand.The back half of the plank is covered by the sleeve, and there must be some device hidden in the sleeve, which can constantly change the extension length of the plank.

Although it wasn't playing at this time, the Jianban sounded continuously.The opponent actually used Jianban to block the dumb's shot of stone pellets, and under the impact of the stone pellets, the Jianban sent sparks flying all over and made a long golden sound.This is another special feature, the simple board is not made of bamboo, but forged steel. After several rounds of strong shots, but failed to see the result, the mute speeded up, and Shiwan fired consecutively.It was too late for the opponent to respond simply, so he used the fishing drum to pick it up, and put the stone pill into his barrel.Judging from the sound of the drum being thrown into the fishing drum, the body of the fishing drum is also made of fine steel.

Seeing this situation, the mute couldn't help becoming anxious, and changed his technique again.Attack with one bow and send two or three pills at the same time, so that even if the opponent uses a simple block and a drum to receive and respond at the same time, he is still somewhat overwhelmed. But the opponent who used the fishing drum also changed his tactics again at this time, and activated some device on the drum of the fishing drum.Yugu not only took in the stone pills, but also shot out the stone pills one by one vigorously, knocking the stone pills fired continuously behind the mute into the air.

Just after the opponent started to shoot out the collected stone pellets with the fishing drum, Qi Junyuan figured out something.He hurriedly shouted to stop: "Stop! It's Mangzi from Tongtan!" This sentence uses the code language of Lihengu, and the real meaning is "they are all assassins of Lihengu". Although he heard Qi Junyuan's shout, the mute still sent out the last three stone pills in his palm together.Facing the three flying stars whizzing towards them, the opponent's Yugu's mechanism was activated again, and what shot out this time was no longer a stone pellet, but a round steel plate.

Maybe it was because the stone pellets collected in Yugu had been used up, or maybe it was because the three stone pellets shot by the mute this time made the opponent feel that it was difficult to block it in other ways, so the opponent could only use more subtle settings to deal with it. The steel plate looks a bit like a small bronze mirror, and it spins and flies out, glare flickering on the edge can be seen in the night.The flying steel plate shattered two stone pellets, and then continued to spin rapidly in the direction of the mute.The mute didn't expect such a change at all, let alone the speed of the steel plate would be so fast.So there was no subconscious reaction to hide.

The small circular steel plate shot into the big tree trunk next to the mute with a dull sound.The big tree shook suddenly, and many twigs and fallen leaves rustled from the top, which showed the ferocity of the blow.As for the dumb's third stone pill, the man clamped it with a simple board.The strong force of Shiwan made the simple plate made of fine steel tremble, making a long-lasting "buzzing" sound. The person on the opposite side let out a long sigh, and then wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve: "I'm sorry, I told you to wait, but you didn't give me a chance to talk. If I don't want the last three 'Sky Shocking Cards' ’ There’s no way to stop it.”

The mute looked at the steel plate that had sunk into the tree trunk beside him, then suddenly turned sideways, pulled the slingshot away with all his strength, and shot another pellet.But this time, instead of facing the opponent, he was facing a big rock next to him.There was a sound like breaking ice, followed by stone dust flying and sparks flying in all directions. This pellet was deeply embedded in the boulder, and it was a cast iron pellet. It turned out that the stone pellets in the dumb palm had been used up at this time, and he was going to switch to pig iron pellets after a long battle.And after sending out the last three stone pellets, he naturally touched the iron pellets in his hand.But before he could use his Iron Bullet in time, others used the extremely overbearing "Sky Shocking Card" first, and almost had no chance to make a move.So the mute hit the stone with a shot in anger, which is to show the other party that his iron shot is not inferior to the "Sky Shocking Card".This is a kind of behavior that shows that you will not admit defeat and not be convinced, and it is also an expression of bravery and strength.But as an assassin, it is a lack of tempering and immaturity, and it is also a character defect that he usually finds it difficult to communicate with others.

Just when the dumb iron ball hit the rock, Qi Junyuan had already withdrawn the kun-fishing hook that was touching the woman's neck. "Hidden identity?" Qi Junyuan asked simply because he wanted to leave this dead place as soon as possible. At this time, the woman also looked straight, and replied seriously: "Guke Tang Sanniang, who is in the Poison Yinxuan, and her secret name is 'Yunyun'." "Did they strike the maze claw or the poisonous claw?" Qi Junyuan pointed to the person who fell on the ground. "It's My Claw." "Quickly solve it, and then get out of here quickly. We'll figure out what went wrong in this trip when we get to a safe place." After Qi Junyuan finished speaking, he moved away, but he never let go of the kun hook in his hand. The man who confronted the mute also let go of Qiongtang. It turned out that there were many steel wires mixed in the branches and grass leaves that wrapped it. The steel wires and the branches and grass leaves together formed a long cage that could be ejected and contracted.It is like a net when it is shot, and it is a cage when it is closed.It is said that this is a skill created by Ze Ren, a disciple of the Mohist School, by combining the "star chasing three-point rope" used by the Qin people to catch wild animals with the fishing net.It is mainly used to capture opponents alive, and it is called "Flying Monkey Cage" in the world.The reason why this thing is called a skill rather than a utensil is because this thing uses a lot of materials, and the volume is too large after it is made, so it can only be used in fixed mechanisms.And if the assassin wants to carry and use this kind of equipment, he can only bring a little steel wire skeleton with him.Then when it needs to be used, the materials are obtained locally, and it is made in a very short time. Tang Sanniang stood still and did not put down the pick, but stretched her head and blew on the small stove in the burden in front of her.A wisp of ashes rose lightly from the furnace, and floated towards the place where Qin Shengsheng and the others had fallen.As soon as the ashes fell, the fainted person immediately woke up.Moreover, his mental state was not at all weak compared to before, but he was just at a loss as to what happened just now. Qi Junyuan raised his hand to stop Qin Shengsheng's endless questioning, and then led the way to the southwest.After walking out of the fire scene, the dumb man and the man with the fishing drum also joined in, they didn't talk much, they just walked in a hurry.In the dark, Qiongtang jumped to the front, which should also be ordered by the mute.Use it to clear the way, and the general layout of ambushes should be able to be discovered. Qi Junyuan followed Qiongtang, who was rushing ahead, bumping his feet, and his mood was even more difficult to calm down: "What secret is hidden in Shangdeyuan, which will attract the most powerful secret forces from several countries. And even if these parties are all After receiving the same information and excluding all other accidents, in terms of distance alone, they should have arrived at Shangde Yuan first and then later. But these three forces, no, including Lihen Valley, it should be four forces, how could it be Arrived at Shangdeyuan at about the same time? And after arriving, only saw the ruins and charred corpses. Is this a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement? And Fan Xiaotian, I have never had a chance to ask him what he did when he came to Shangdeyuan. What is the purpose of bringing people here? And what are Tang Sanniang and these two people here for, why did they attack people like themselves without asking why? What is the mission of the 'Lumang Note' they received?" After walking more than ten miles in a hurry, the crazy woman lay on the ground and refused to leave.She said that she was too tired to walk, and then said that her father told her not to run around with people she didn't know, especially men she didn't know.So despite the tricks and threats, she just didn't move.At this time, Qi Junyuan happened to have too many unsolved mysteries in his heart, and needed to ask and think, so he simply took everyone to find a hidden and safe place next to the trail for a temporary rest.
