Chapter 38 Rising Waves

The music played by hunters consists of two types of music: the trembling sound of bowstrings, and the low whistle of arrows piercing the air.

Legend has it that bows and strings were used to play music in Mondstadt in the past.

Or a wandering musician who uses the strings of his instrument to shoot arrows.

But that is nothing more than a distant ancient folk legend.

——Hunting bow

The Qiuqiu man was taller than Xu Yun at this time, and was about the same height as Huma. The two rushed at the same time, and the rough and solid sticks were smashed head-on. The sharp metal pieces placed at the front of the sticks were like fangs arranged in a disorderly manner.

Xu Yun raised the Divine Sword of Dawn to hold the stick on his right, and instantly held the edgeless sword taken out of his space backpack with his left hand, barely able to block the other one hitting him from the left just before the stick was about to come.

The sharp metal piece at the top of the stick collided with the blade of the edgeless sword, and a few sparks flew out. When Xu Yun was about to withdraw his sword, he discovered that the blade was stuck in the gap between the interlaced metal pieces.

A big black and smelly foot kicked me in the chest. The mud stained with grass juice and thick calluses on the soles of my feet were right in front of me.

"Tap, bite, dog!" the Qiuqiu man's roar sounded from under the terrifying bone mask, with intimidation and anger.

Letting go of the edgeless sword held in his left hand, Xu Yun fell to the right, and his big foot rushed over from the armpit of his raised left arm.

Following the movement of falling, he rolled around, and the Divine Sword of Dawn in his hand cut out a curved fan on the ground. The weeds trampled messily by the battle were almost broken to the roots, blood lines spattered, and on the right hand side

The Qiuqiu man who attacked Xu Yun received a sword blow on his left heel. The sword cut open the tendon of his heel and scratched his tibia and ankle bones.

Oh ho

The one on the right that had raised its foot to kick him just now kicked him in the air, and the left foot that supported all the weight of the body was severely injured. With its center of gravity unbalanced, it whined and jumped forward.

"Jiji dog!" Another Qiuqiu man roared and took off the edgeless sword from his stick. The eyes under the white bone mask stared at Xu Yun, but he was cautious and did not dare to step forward.

Xu Yun stood up, holding his sword and maintaining a fighting posture. Seeing that the Qiuqiu people did not come forward, and seeing the two tall figures behind him getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Should we take the initiative to kill this opponent, or should we go back and join our companions to reorganize our formation?

After a moment's hesitation, he stepped forward decisively. Two steps later, he was close to him. The Dawn Divine Sword, which he started from the upper position, slashed down in the air. Qiuqiuren blocked it with sticks and sticks.

Ding! Poof!

Swords and sticks clashed, and sparks flew up.

The Qiuqiu man turned the stick over and tried to use the metal piece inserted at the head of the stick to jam the sword blade, replicating the previous scene of seizing the sword.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Yun's mouth. How could the Divine Sword of Dawn be comparable to a sword without an edge? At the moment of the exchange of blows, the blade cut into the wooden stick by an inch, and even cut off several metal pieces inserted into the wooden stick.

.

Qiuqiu Ren flipped the stick, just in time to free up the middle door. He pulled his right hand back and then forward. The blade of the sword slightly deflected away from the striking stick and was pushed to Qiu Qiu Ren's chest.

Even though the muscles on the unobstructed black chest were bulging, showing that he was far stronger than Xu Yun, he was no tougher than a piece of paper when facing the edge of the Dawn Sword.

The silver-white sword blade penetrated half a foot into the flesh, and the blade almost penetrated the heart through the gap between the two breastbones. Xu Yun twisted his wrist and jumped back without looking at the person.

The injured Qiuqiu man who fell to the ground did not give up the attack. The stick he was swinging close to the ground was not a sharp sword after all. It was slightly hindered by the stems of weeds and his movements were slower. This gave Xu Yun a chance to escape, otherwise he would have just escaped.

The scene of seriously injuring the Achilles tendon would have to happen again to me.

The sword blade separated from the body, and a fountain of blood gushed out. The hot blood sprinkled on the fallen ball man, covering most of the pale bone mask with bright red.

"Jiji dog!" Qiuqiu Man roared angrily. It beat the ground with a wooden stick unwillingly to vent its anger. It gasped heavily and stood up again with one leg supporting its body. Its eyes were already full of blood.

Staring at Xu Yun, the real hatred almost bit Xu Yun into pieces.

Xu Yun is a man known as Teyvat's bulldozer. How could he care about the feelings of Qiuqiu people? Facing the hateful eyes, he nimblely brushed past Qiuqiu's body, and the silver-white sword shadow fell in front of it.

After swaying around, the Qiuqiu people, who were always on guard, raised their sticks to block, but they missed the target.

Xu Yun took advantage of its slow movement and ducked behind it. He raised his hands high and chopped firewood in an upper position. The silver-white sword blade flashed along a diagonal line. The tip of the sword left behind Qiuqiu Man from the right side of his neck to the left side of his armpit.

The next long and narrow wound was to cut the back of the neck bone halfway through the joint.

Before the blood could pour out, the Qiuqiu man had already thrown himself to the ground, unable to resist.

He took off the Qiuqiu people's masks as trophies and had to hand them over later. This was the first time Xu Yun saw the Qiuqiu people's appearance under the masks.

In fact, he didn't know what the Kachuchu looked like under the mask, but when the mask was untied, a black smoke rose, and a strange stench filled the air with a strange whisper.

Ominous, vicious, dark, and rotten, Xu Yun thought of these words in just a moment. He did not dare to look closely, and hurriedly stepped away from the black smoke, even closing his mouth and nose for fear of inhaling it.

The face under the mask was like boiling black mucus, with strange flesh and blood bubbles rising up one after another, expanding and bursting over and over again. The black liquid splashed around as the bubbles burst, and turned into black smoke before it hit the ground.

Ground subsidence.

······

It was weird, and he couldn't tell what it felt like. Xu Yun just felt that his heart was blocked by a big stone, and the joy of victory was fleeting.

After a while, the Qiuqiu people were covered in black smoke, which slowly boiled and corroded, turning into liquid or black smoke.

This process should last for a long time. As for whether a skeleton will be left behind or nothing will be left, Xu Yun no longer has time to stay here and continue to observe. The two Qiuqiu warriors in the distance have already rushed closer.

Because it is a plain and mountainous area, the field of vision can be seen very far away. When I discovered them before, it seemed that they were not far away, but in fact they were still some distance away.

This gave Xu Yun the courage to stay and deal with his opponent.

But what you see on the surface does not mean what actually exists. You must know that these ordinary Qiuqiu people were hiding in the grass to launch sneak attacks, and no one in the entire team noticed when they came over.

He took off the three masks and put them in his hands with straw sticks stuck through the eye sockets. After seeing the previous scene of Qiuqiu people's faces melting with flesh and blood, he didn't want to touch these masks with his hands for the time being.

Turning around and clearing the path, the big wind slime in the sky had been killed while Xu Yun was concentrating on killing the Qiuqiu people.

Huma showed the broken bone mask in his hand to Xu Yun who came out of the grass, and Lulumala also waved the intact one in her hand in front of his eyes.

Just when Huma was about to say something to show off, he saw Xu Yun holding three masks strung up with straw poles in his hand, and closed his mouth in depression.

The second-year spearman and William have both returned. William has new wounds on his body, but he also received a mask.

"The big guy is coming, don't let down your guard. Those who can still fight will form a formation with me. The shield guards will stand in the front row, and the spearmen will pay attention to their positions. Fara, you shoot the tomahawk warriors, and we will block the big shields. Others

Find a way around it."

"That little Timmy, can you deal with Annie's injury now? I don't want the wound to get worse. The crossbow arrows of the Qiuqiu people are poorly made, and sometimes they are smeared with dirt such as feces. If they are left in the wound for a long time, they may

You will be poisoned." The senior shield guard who led the team looked at Xu Yun while giving orders.

"Okay, Nanqi, do you have any antidote potion?" Xu Yun nodded. "Delay it for ten minutes...maybe even longer."

"No problem, just worry about working." When the leading senior saw the three masks in Xu Yun's hand, he couldn't help but admire the smallest child in the team.

'I thought I brought two teams to tow oil bottles, but I didn't expect there was an unexpected surprise.'

"The spearman is following me. The spear is difficult to use in the grass. It is useless except for stabbing, sweeping and slashing. We will meet the enemy in the cleared area." The second-year spearman spoke, his

Several eye-catching performances earned him a WeChat account. Lulumala and Lucy from William's team obediently stood by his side and crouched down to hide behind the grass.

Nan Qi dug into the small backpack behind her waist and found a small glass bottle. The black potion inside didn't look like an antidote, but more like poison.

Xu Yun used the Divine Sword of Dawn to cut off the crossbow arrow shaft outside Anne's breastplate, and asked Nan Qi to help take off the hard leather breastplate on her body. Then he used a knife to cut slightly downwards along the collar.

Thanks to the open dressing style of the Mondstadt people, the collar was cut only an inch to reach the position of the arrow shaft. In fact, the arrow was still some distance from the heart, and the position was a little lower.

The unprotected hills are already quite large. Although they are not comparable to Nanqi, they are still the second and third richest in the team.

‘Is the nanny profession so rich? Huh? It seems wrong. None of the nannies in the game have strong capital. The small tablet in Xinhai has the strongest health boost.'

But this capital was a bit in the way at this time, so he pushed the hill to one side with one hand, used a knife to cut a little along the arrow wound, and when he felt that the arrow cluster was no longer stuck so close, he pulled it out.

Annie groaned, her big closed eyes suddenly opened, and she glared at Xu Yun angrily.

"Are you awake? The arrow wound is not very deep. You are still far away from death. Don't scare yourself." Xu Yun looked at the pair of angry blue eyes and spoke quickly and calmly.

The second-year team leader was right, the Qiuqiu people's arrow clusters were indeed not clean, and the meat inside was already a little dirty.

Xu Yun frowned as he looked at the thick wound where the arrow was pulled out.

"You still watch?" Annie sat up and covered her chest in dissatisfaction.

Xu Yun pried away her hand covering her chest, provoking fierce resistance.

"Don't make trouble, the arrow clusters are poisonous, and the flesh of your wound has changed color. I'm checking and trying to find a way to deal with it. Now I have two options. One is to scrape out the poisoned and discolored flesh with a knife, and the other is to directly use the antidote.

Clean it and see if the poison can be washed away."

"The wound is very close to the heart and must be treated as soon as possible. If the delay is too long and the poison enters the heart, it will really be hopeless."

Xu Yun grabbed her wrist and asked, looking into those blue eyes.

When Anne heard what he said, she had forgotten to resist. The color on her entire face faded and her lips trembled slightly.

"You choose." Xu Yun finally said.

"You...are everything you said true?"

"Nonsense, don't even look at what time this is."

While Xu Yun was speaking, the shield guards had already engaged the large Qiuqiu army. In addition to the ball warriors who arrived later, there were more stick Qiuqiu and shooters hiding in the grass to join the battle.

The priest of the Fengshen Church to which the second grade belongs has blessed two states for the shield guard standing in front, and has blessed one state for the archer senior.

Anne looked at her teammates who were fighting in front of her. William was wrestling with the stick warriors with a big sword. Lucy followed the second-year-old gunner and worked together to attack the giant ax warriors. Huma was behind the big shield warrior, fighting two warriors alone.

Qiu people, Kerry was beside him, helping him block the incoming crossbow bolts.

She closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and opened her eyes after a moment of silence: "What would you choose if it were you?"

"Me? I would like to scrape off the flesh first and then clean it with an antidote. This is safer and can completely remove the poison in the wound. Then suture the wound and bandage it."

"Stitches? Why stitches?"

"Do you expect it to heal quickly without suturing? In such a hot weather, if the wound is left open and scabbed, it will be nothing but scars in the future. Once it becomes suppurative and infected, it will only become more troublesome in the future."

"I can use healing skills. Now is the time to use healing skills, right?" Annie raised the corners of her mouth.

"Uh... I forgot about this hand. Your injury is quite serious. You can indeed use the healing technique once, but it can only be used once. It will leave you with mental energy, which may save your life later." Xu Yun nodded.
