Chapter 25: Daring
According to the map, Yue Yu took Ran Li and walked east for about three miles. Then, sure enough, under the hill described by the old hunter, ten large foxholes were found.
This was originally a place for hunters and medicine men in the city to spend the night, and at night they could spend the night in the wilderness by covering a layer of wooden planks. According to the old hunter, who was already one hundred and twenty years old, these places were still in use about a hundred years ago. It wasn't until the Yue clan expelled the powerful demon beasts in this vicinity that they slowly became unknown.
Next, Yue Yu began to clear the traces of the two of them along the way as quickly as he could. In addition to the suspicions, there is also the smell of the two.
Yue Yu discovered very early on that with the enhancement of internal breath, the five senses of people in this world will be improved to a certain extent. Even some exercises can make a certain sense of human beings not inferior to those demon beasts. And the method Yue Yu chose was the simplest and most violent one.
Before he came, he had brought several bottles of potions that tasted extremely pungent and evaporated very quickly. Spray it all around, enough to cover everything. No matter how sensitive the sense of smell is, it will be useless here.
And when all this was ready, the two of them cautiously returned to the pit, and then covered it with a large number of fallen leaves.
It was also the end of autumn, and the fallen leaves in this dense forest were several feet thick. The two of them don't need to do anything else to cover up, they can make it seamless.
Then, just over a minute, I heard a few slight footsteps. Ran Li didn't even dare to take a breath at this time, he felt both novel and exciting about the things Yue Yu had just done. But at this time, of course, it is your own surname that is the most important. Yue Yu didn't care so much, he had arranged a few pieces of bronze mirror fragments on top of this small pit before. At this time, using the principle of light refraction, you can see some of the above situations even if you don't have to look up.
There were really four people coming, and one of them was an intermediate martial artist with four silver lines on his sleeves. This was also expected by Yue Yu, the only thing that made him a little stunned was that only one of the four did not wear the Yue family's logo. The other three, including the fourth-level martial artist, all had mountain patterns embroidered on their chests.
Yue Yu subconsciously raised his eyebrows, this situation was once again far beyond his expectations. Being able to arbitrarily support the middle-level martial artists in the clan and do this kind of ** thing for himself shows that Jin Xu's power in the clan is far beyond his imagination. Of course, the good news is not nothing, there is only one martial artist in the non-family family, which shows that Jin Xu's financial resources are also lower than his expectations.
It's not surprising to think about it, the Jin father and son have only risen in Yuejia City for three generations, and the accumulation will not be too much. If they really had that much financial resources, they would not risk being blamed by the elders of the clan to steal their land.
At this time, Yue Yu had an almost whimsical thought in his heart. Seeing that the four of them were scattered, searching for their traces everywhere, and there was no danger around them for the time being, Yue Yu lifted the branches and leaves covering his head, and then looked at the direction in which those people had disappeared, and fell into deep thought.
"Ali, how about we kill them here?"
Ran Li, who was originally about to get up and pull Yue Yu back into the pit, so as not to be discovered by the four people who might return at any time, suddenly almost bit his tongue.
"Young Master, are you crazy? That's four martial artists!"
"I'm not blind again!"
Ran Li's forehead was covered with fine sweat. He felt that he was bold, but at this moment, Ran Li felt that he was really beyond the reach of his little master in this regard.
"There's an intermediate martial artist in there, maybe he can send us away with one of them!"
Yue Yu smiled and didn't speak. But his eyes swept behind him, the six-stone longbow painted black, and a few bundles of long rope in the pit—the same remnants of those hunters from a hundred years ago. Yue Yu tried to pull it just now, and the tenacious surname is not bad.
And at this moment, Ran Li's pupils suddenly opened, and he knew that the arrow shot by Yue Yu that day was no coincidence. Ran Li himself has tried, no matter what, he can't let the arrow pass through the leaves from a hundred feet away, even if it's just a piece-
"But didn't you say before that you want to hide our strength?"
"So if you want to do it, you have to kill it all in one go!"
Yue Yu snorted coldly. Then the pupils revealed a cunning color: "You said that if those three martial artists died in this forest, how would the clan react?"
Ran Li was slightly stunned, and after a moment, he realized something. He didn't know what kind of reaction the clan would have, but Jin Xu, who supported them to do private things for themselves, would definitely be anxious.
Yue Youcheng was very irritable now, not only because the two prey he was chasing suddenly disappeared without a trace under his nose. There is also a faint guilt in my heart, and the anger of being treated as a domestic slave by that person.
As an intermediate martial artist born in the clan who was born in the Eight Classics of the Eight Classics and Yunzi Fang, he was grabbed by a guy who was still a servant and called at will, which was enough to be aggrieved. Not to mention, they have to be supported to do such immoral things.
And what is extremely annoying is that he can't refuse this time.
Yue Youcheng was now over sixty years old, and twelve years ago, his cultivation True Qi had broken through to the thirteenth level. However, in the past few decades, he has worked hard for his family, and he has only gotten about 300 acres of land for himself. Only thirty acres of it are in the valley, and the rest are newly cultivated wasteland outside the valley. Not to mention the lack of production, the safety is far inferior to that of the valley. And Yue Youcheng is now under his knees, but he has two sons and two daughters,
- If this had been 20 years ago, it would have been nothing. It's a big deal to continue to work hard for the clan for another few decades. One day, I will be able to expel those demon beasts in Taniguchi.
However, recently, Yue Youcheng felt that his physical state was worse than another. The old wounds I suffered when I was young are now starting to hurt terribly. No matter how optimistic he is, he understands that his limit is probably coming.
This made Yue Youcheng, who had always liked to rush and hit the front line when fighting, and felt panic for the first time. What he is worried about is his wife and children, and when he is alive, he can still use the rich monthly allowance given to him by the clan to subsidize the family. But what about when he dies?
Therefore, no matter what, he must leave something for his children, and then find a way to die in battle - this is the idea that Yue Youcheng is holding now.
He didn't feel ashamed in his heart, but he was also forced by Yue Zhang's family. He had never been in favor of using radical tactics before, and as long as the other side could compromise and give up some land, he would be satisfied. But the stingy woman actually slammed the door so much that she refused to spit out even an acre!
"Didn't you find out?"
When Yue Youcheng returned to the place where they had broken up before, there were already two fellow martial artists here. This is not to say that his feet are inferior, but Yue Youcheng is pursuing further.
Sure enough, he saw his two companions, both shaking their heads. Yue Youcheng's heart sank suddenly, and he regretted it for the first time, this time he didn't bring an experienced hunter out. It was really hard to imagine that two children under the age of sixteen would have such powerful means.
"Why hasn't the favorable side come back yet?"
Yue Lili, his brother, was also one of the companions involved in the operation. And at the same time that Yue Youde spit out these words, an obvious fire rose in the sky in the north. The three of them glanced at each other, and they were all in good spirits, and they rushed in that direction.
The direction that Yue Li is responsible for is the north. Even if you use the family's fireworks signal here, there is a possibility that someone else will find out. However, at this time, there is no way to control so much.
The place where the fire was lit was about twenty miles away. At the speed of three people, but they arrived in an instant. However, when the situation in that direction was reflected in the eyes of Yue Youcheng, who was rushing to the front, his mind was suddenly stunned.
I saw a lifeless human body, with its back to them, hanging in the air. What is frightening and inexplicable is that whether it is the figure or the scar on his right hand, Yue Youcheng is very familiar.
And just then, he heard a sharp howl in his ear. When Yue Youcheng turned his head along the place where the voice came from, he saw several afterimages passing by in his field of vision. When he completely woke up again, Yue Youcheng saw a companion beside him, clutching his throat and falling.
- At the moment when their hearts were shaken just now, this third-level martial artist whose strength was second only to him was actually blocked by an arrow.
