Chapter 21 Hidden Murder
Murong Xue stared at this unbelievable scene with wide eyes. At that moment, she thought she was really going to die.
The sharp arrow almost pierced her heart, and there was a layer of green light above the arrow. It was obviously poisonous. Even if it didn't hit her heart, she would definitely die.
But what shocked her even more was that at the last moment of the crisis, it was Xu Nian who came to save her.
She looked at Xu Nian's resolute profile and couldn't figure out how Xu Nian did it.
The arrow came so suddenly and so fast that even she had no time to react. However, Xu Nian, who had been standing behind her, intercepted the sharp arrow one step ahead of her, and he did so with his bare hands.
Something that seemed impossible to her.
The other three people also noticed what was going on here and looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
Xu Nian also seemed to feel that his behavior was a bit exposed, and explained with a smile: "I ate a fruit before, which not only repaired my Dantian, but also made me stronger and faster than the average nine-star warrior. In addition,
I noticed the sharp arrow first, so I was able to block it."
Everyone else nodded when they heard this.
They had also heard before that Xu Nian's Dantian was destroyed and later restored intact. There are indeed some rare and exotic fruits that can strengthen people's bodies.
However, this fruit is only useful to low-level practitioners, and has no effect on higher-level practitioners, so they don't have much jealousy in their hearts, they just think Xu Nian is lucky.
"Xu Nian, thank you for saving me!" Murong Xue said gratefully to Xu Nian.
"It should be!" Xu Nian smiled lightly, and then asked seriously: "How could someone shoot an arrow secretly? We don't seem to have offended anyone."
The arrow just now was obviously shot secretly by someone, and it couldn't be a monster. But there was no grievance, so why would someone attack them?
"It should be a hunter, but he has already run away." Lin Feng came over and said.
"Hunter? You shouldn't attack monsters, so why would you shoot arrows at us humans?" Xu Nian asked in confusion.
Hunters also know that it is a profession that relies exclusively on hunting monster beasts and seizing monster crystal nuclei. These people wander in the monster forest all year round, hunting monster beasts and seizing monster crystal nuclei.
in exchange for money.
But the arrow just now was obviously not deliberately missed, but deliberately aimed at them.
"Hmph, you are still too naive. These hunters can only earn one monster core by killing a monster, but killing a human is not only possible to obtain more monster cores, but also other treasures. You
Do you think he would rather kill people or monsters?" Yu Feng said with a sneer.
Xu Nian frowned slightly. Although Yu Feng's tone was unfriendly, his words were correct.
The wealth obtained by killing a person is definitely higher than that of a monster beast, and these people who have been licking blood from their swords all year round will not care whether they are taking human life lightly. For them, wealth is the first priority.
"Let's continue on our way. Everyone should be careful. In this forest of monsters, humans are more dangerous than monsters. We must stay alert." Lin Feng said.
Everyone nodded. After such a fuss, no one dared to relax at all.
Xu Nian looked towards the direction of the arrow. He always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Hunters usually travel in groups. The man just shot an arrow in the distance and then left quickly. It was obvious that the man was testing.
Judging from the level of aura attached to the poison arrow just now, that person should be a three-star star level master.
If he hadn't secretly used Gang Qi to instantly destroy the spiritual energy on the poisonous arrow, it would have been difficult for Lin Feng to intercept the arrow.
"I'm afraid there will be big trouble." Xu Nian glanced at the four people in front of him who seemed to be unaware, and shook his head helplessly.
How could a three-star shooter in the Star Realm have no accomplices?
Now Xu Nian just hopes that these people are just passing by and the real target is not them, otherwise they will have a huge disaster.
…
Three miles away from where Xu Nian was following Lin Feng and others, three people were gathering at the moment.
These three people are all strong-backed, dark-skinned, wearing fancy clothes, and have sharp eyes. They are obviously veterans of survival in this jungle.
"Brother, I have tried it out. There are four men and one woman. I fired an arrow at the woman, but the other three did not respond. Only this time the target found it in time and blocked the arrow. Otherwise, the woman
He has died under my arrow, but according to my observation, the target's cultivation level is only at the level of a seven-star warrior, so he can be easily dealt with." A man with a long bow on his back chuckled softly.
"I said Gangzi, if you want to test it, you should also test it with others. Why do you want to start with a woman? She is the third most beautiful woman in Qinglin College. You are wasting your natural resources, you know!" Another guy with a donkey face.
He yelled angrily.
When he heard that the target of this hunt was a top-notch beauty, he had already planned to enjoy it. Now that he heard that his companion almost killed the top-notch beauty, how could he not be angry.
"Che, Iron Donkey, you know women. I am helping you. If you are still thinking about women in this monster forest, you will die on a woman's belly sooner or later. When you complete the task this time and get the commission, what kind of woman do you want?
No?" The young man carrying a long bow snorted coldly.
"Then you don't know how great the woman this time is, she is something that no amount of money can buy." The donkey-faced man said with disdain.
Only the particularly tall and muscular man with short hair in the middle fell silent and did not speak.
The two quarreling men seemed to have noticed something was wrong with the elder brother and stopped bickering.
The one named Gangzi turned to look at the short-haired man and asked: "Brother, what's wrong? Didn't we use the Black Wind Leopard to test their strength just now? The highest three-star warrior, with the two of us
Is it easy for a three-star warrior and a four-star warrior to kill them? What are you still worried about?"
The short-haired man was silent for a moment and said: "I think our target this time is a bit strange. You just said that he blocked your arrow, but how could a seven-star warrior block your arrow?"
"Brother, I thought what were you thinking? He's just a seven-star warrior. No matter how strong he is, how much higher can he be? It was a complete coincidence that he could block that arrow. Plus I didn't use all my strength. If
If you use all your strength, you can definitely pierce his heart with an arrow." Gangzi said with a chuckle.
The short-haired man nodded. He also felt that he was a little too worried.
Even if a seven-star warrior has combat power that exceeds his own strength, how can he be the opponent of a four-star warrior like him?
"Let's go and meet them for a while." The short-haired man made up his mind.
