Chapter 567: Borrowing the Nest
But Ming Qi didn't look at them, and just appeared straight in front of the crossbowman. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The first time I saw the crossbowman who had caused them so much trouble, it was really from the bones, and even the strange and wide hood could not hide the thick Han style.
Ming Qi went out with an arrow in his hand, because he hid the hive behind him. However, the man did not move at all, and he did not intend to shoot the arrow in his hand. Perhaps this person also expected that Ming Qi would take the initiative to appear differently. It's a fun moment on the battlefield when your opponent is as if they were born to know your style, and even simple strategies become complicated and interesting because of your constant new suspense.
Ming Qi glanced at the fresh water and food that were still lying next to the corpse that had fallen on either side of the man's feet, and sighed with admiration on his face. "The pursuers' food is really good. And how long has it been since we were chasing people who couldn't eat or drink?"
"Be sure to remain calm, preferably arrogantly. Ming Qi silently said to himself in his heart that the only thing he could rely on at this time was the empty beehive in his hand. Ah, no, it's not the hive itself, but the fear of the hive that those people keep in their hearts.
As he silently held the hive behind him, which he had been hiding behind him, silently to his chest, a dozen people, including the crossbowman, slowly appeared behind him, all of whom became completely stunned. At this time, it seemed to them that the prey that had fallen into their mouths had suddenly turned into a behemoth with baring fangs. These people really did what Ming Qi wanted, and they knew very well what this thing in his hand was.
See in their eyes these changes that cannot be concealed. After that, Ming Qi began to throw away the arrows in his hand with impunity, including the ones that the crossbowman had thrown at him earlier, as well as the ones he had made himself. Then, pointing to the food on the ground to the two soldiers who had run out from behind the tree to protect him. At the same time, Ming Qi looked at the leading crossbowman, "It's not that we have to take this food, but because of the hunger and thirst that we will understand after a long time in the jungle. And if we are really hungry, we may not be afraid of heaven and earth. Take out the living creatures in these hives and eat them as food. ā
The two soldiers were still hesitating, but when they saw the determined look in the eyes that Ming Qi had given them, they decisively swept up the food and water on the ground.
Next, as Ming Qi's eyes signaled, he turned around and wanted to run back to their camp, the strange bone-eating bee forest.
But just as they were taking the first step, the crossbowman stopped them with a laugh, "Our esteemed guests should sit here and contemplate our hospitality, and if they go to an unknown place, how can we know whether these delicacies are to the taste of the guests?" ā
Ming Qi thought, well, this is the bottom line he can endure. And the reason why he was able to say these words was because he was still suspicious of the hive in Mingqi's hand, and he, a foreigner, must have believed in the legends here, just as he had in the first place. Because he had doubted it, he knew better than anyone else what the current crossbowman was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a quiet sound of chirping birds, and then there was only one of the longest and loudest bird calls, but Ming Qi remembered. When they first fought, they had such voices. But the number of times I heard it was too small to tell from the situation what it meant. After the long, loud birdsong fell, a small procession came out of the woods, and everyone, including the crossbowmen, turned to salute him.
From now on, Mingqi asks himself to remember that this long, loud birdsong is a sign that their leader is present.
The man at the head walked up to the crossbowman, and deliberately paused for a moment, holding his hand to prevent him from saluting.
The whole movement seems to be a cumulative accumulation of days, skillful and natural.
Then, his gaze looked at the three Ming Qi, who were out of place in terms of clothing and the atmosphere they carried, and finally fell on the water and food that the two soldiers were holding.
Ming Qi was sure in his heart that he must be a big man. At least he was enjoying the glory and wealth and the number of thick beards on his cheeks, at this time he regretted a little, he should have set a secret message with the good cultivators just now, now he has attracted all the enemies in this woods, they can try to wander around the woods casually, find a way, if they can't find it, come back and repeat the above plan.
Mingqi waited quietly for the leader to see the hive in his hand. Sure enough, once again, the leader who shifted his gaze from the food to Ming Qi's whole body, suddenly found Ming Qi in his arms, regarded by their entire clan as the patron saint of the ancestors, a bone-eating hive. In particular, the calmness and optimism that appeared on Ming Qi's face at this time shocked even more than the sudden appearance of the bone-eating beehive, which shocked the leader of what he saw and heard on Ming Qi.
Ming Qi let go of the hand holding the bone-eating hive to show them the palm of his hand, and the other held the hive, and then asked the other hand to repeat it to signal that he had no offensive weapons in his hand at this time except for this hive. After gesturing this, he began to walk towards the leader. But it didn't work, because of the hive, everyone in front of him took a step back collectively, only the crossbowman remained in place, tilting his head slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the uniform pace of withdrawal.
The crossbowman looked at Ming Qi fixedly, "The inside of the hive should be empty, and the military advisor didn't say that every season comes, those bone-eating bees will go into summer hibernation." Right there, there were bone-eating bees inside, and they didn't have any attack power at all. After he said this, he wanted to lead by example and take a step forward, but behind him came an old voice beside the leader to reprimand, "Regarding the habits of the bone-eating bee, the records in the clan book are not complete, because this kind of holy bee never allows the mind of a dull mortal to speculate. And now that the nobles are here, how can they act rashly?"
Seeing that there was such a contradiction within them, Ming Qi felt that even if he was under siege, he had found a glimmer of hope, and he laughed even more unchangeably, "This elder said very well, he knows that the bow and arrow can shoot a hundred shots, and the master of shooting strange arrows also has his shortcomings. The reason why these bone-eating bees choose to hibernate in the summer is not because they don't need to eat, but because this oasis has always been extinct in the summer, and the lack of food makes them have to resort to summer hibernation to cope. ā
