Ren Ning did not wait where he was, but followed the other party.
The horse thieves were very cautious and hid in the grass for almost half an hour before they stopped.
Ren Ning was stunned.
No wonder the whistle blew for so long before the horse thieves came over to join us.
It's not that they are staged or trying to show off the power of the deer, it's just that the distance is too far.
Seeing the horse thieves in front of him stop, Ren Ning knew that he had almost reached their temporary base.
He did not stop, but made a big turn to the left and continued to move forward quietly.
It didn't take long for him to find two red dots nestled together in front of him.
Go over and take a look.
It turned out that two horse thieves took advantage of the sunny and warm weather to sit back to back and rest together.
When the enemy comes in, if you are not alert, you will die.
Ren Ning twitched his lips and sent them to the west without any difficulty.
Two more missing!
He counted silently in his heart.
He grabbed some mud and blocked their wounds to prevent the smell of blood from spreading.
The horse thieves were scattered among themselves, so it was unlikely that they could smell blood. Ren Ning was worried about attracting other bloodthirsty animals.
After doing all this, he continued to move forward.
Haven't walked ten feet yet.
Chirp~
A sharp howl sounded in the east.
Ren Ning subconsciously turned over and suddenly looked for his voice.
At this time, the sky was still bright, the eastern sky was blue, and nothing could be seen.
He was about to look away.
Suddenly, a five-color cloud exploded like a firework in the distance.
"1,2,3..." Ren Ning winced and counted the seconds silently.
Snapped!
After counting to thirty, the explosion sound came over.
He stared steadily at the sky in the distance and subconsciously touched his back.
Cloud-piercing arrow!
About ten kilometers to the east, someone fired a cloud-penetrating arrow and called for help from all around.
However, the person asking for help was not Scout Yunzhui, because the fireworks did not have the unique symbol of Scout Yunzhui.
Farther east, the Kailun tribe.
Countless people raised their heads and looked at the cloud-piercing arrow on the western sky with stern expressions.
"Third Patriarch," Allen rushed over and almost bumped into each other, "Did you see it? It's the Cloud-Piercing Arrow."
The heads of the three clans had a dark face, "What arrows are you talking about? You are always so hairy and frizzy, how can you behave like this?"
"Yes!" Allen chuckled.
He couldn't help but look at the five-colored clouds that were getting bigger and bigger in the sky.
"Third clan leader, someone sent a distress signal about forty miles southwest of the clan. What should we do?"
The three clan leaders looked at the sky and hesitated for a moment.
Ren Ning's words about the beheading operation rang in his ears, so he had to be cautious.
The grasslands are vast and sparsely populated, and from time to time, passing caravans or herdsmen will encounter trouble. In the desolate and inhabited prairie, when anyone gets into trouble, they usually complain that the sky is not working and the earth is not working.
Therefore, there are irregular rules on the grassland.
As long as someone releases the cloud-penetrating arrow, anyone nearby who detects the signal should try to go to the rescue. As for whether it is an enemy or a friend, that has to be seen first before deciding.
The three patriarchs glanced towards the west, "Do you know who shot the arrow to ask for help?"
"Um..." Allen looked confused, "We took all our troops back some time ago. We don't know what the situation is there at the moment."
The three clan leaders nodded.
The order that the clansmen took back was issued by the three clan leaders together.
He no longer hesitated, "Send someone to warn the chief and the second chief of the tribe and ask them to pay attention to the protection of the tribe. We will take thirty cavalry and go to see the situation immediately."
"Chief of the three tribes," Allen quickly stopped, "firing cloud-penetrating arrows in broad daylight shouldn't be a big deal. We can just bring people over to help. Just stay in the tribe and wait for news from us."
"Nonsense." The three clan leaders kicked him angrily, "Why shoot a cloud-piercing arrow if it's not a big deal!"
What happened when the cloud-piercing arrow was released in broad daylight?
Ren Ning climbed up a tree and was also thinking about this problem.
Was it a collective poisoning caused by eating the wrong thing, or was it a large-scale encounter with horse thieves, wolves or wildfires?
In the vast grassland, whether you are poisoned or sick, it is a troublesome thing.
If you encounter horse thieves or wolves, if you disagree, it will be an encounter that will never come back.
As for the fire…
In previous years, a caravan actually set fire to the grassland when it stopped to cook. The caravan members alone could not extinguish the rapidly spreading fire. In the end, it was only possible to put out the fire by summoning the surrounding herdsmen with cloud-piercing arrows.
This is one of the reasons why herdsmen try to help when they see the sound of cloud-piercing arrows on the grassland.
Otherwise, once the fire breaks out, no one can escape.
Ren Ning took a deep breath.
He wanted to go ahead to see the situation, but he was patient and observed the situation around him carefully.
The nearby horse thieves also noticed the cloud-piercing arrows in the sky, and stood up to look at them. However, they turned a blind eye and had no intention of moving at all.
They didn't move, so Ren Ning had no choice but to move.
Using the telescope, he counted the red dots in front of him one by one.
However, as soon as I counted to twelve, I could no longer find any other red color.
Ren Ning frowned.
He could clearly see that there were five horses among the twelve red dots.
Not believing in evil, Ren Ning went to another high point and counted it again in detail.
Finally, he was sure that there were only ten horse thieves hiding in the surrounding grass, and he had just killed three of them.
Ren Ning smacked his lips.
Now that the other horse thieves are nowhere to be found, this is much easier.
Among the seven enemies, one of them got the answer and went to reply to Benlu and the other two. The others were staring closely at the cloud-penetrating arrow in the east, not paying attention to the rear at all.
Ren Ning looked at the horses.
There wasn't much of the precious horse food he brought out from the fortress, but there was still some left. The horses in front of him were just gnawing on the half-withered weeds on the ground.
War horses have been trained to hide themselves, but hunger forces them to move around to eat.
In addition, the owners only stared eastward without warning, and for a while they squeaked and ate more happily.
Such a loud movement almost obscured all of Ren Ning's actions.
He no longer needed to move his hands and feet like before, he could directly touch the two enemies on the edge and kill them instantly.
In this way, Ren Ning silently killed all six enemies who were staying nearby, and then aimed his arrow at the war horse which was eating grass with great relish.
The vitality of horses is much stronger than that of humans.
call out!
He shot an arrow in the horse's eye.
Bah!
The horse screamed in agony and ran forward wildly for more than ten feet before flopping to the ground and making no sound anymore.
The other four horses suddenly woke up, no longer caring about eating, and went back to look for their owner.
After seeing their master lying motionless in a pool of blood, they screamed and fled in all directions, as if they had received some order.
Hold!
Ren Ning didn't expect this move at the moment. In a hurry, he only shot one horse, and the other three disappeared instantly.
Chirp ~ Chirp ~
The familiar whistle sounded far away.
Bah!
Zhui Feng perked up.
Wow!
The black horse broke out from the hidden bushes and blew towards the place where the whistle sounded like a strong wind.
Ren Ning laughed and got on his horse, raised his hand and pointed north.
drive!
The black horse immediately turned around and rushed back the way he came.
Soon the horse thief who went back to reply to the Deer Runner appeared in Ren Ning's eyes.
The horse thief knew something bad was going on as soon as he heard the noise behind him, and was hiding in a nest of dense grass, coldly judging the distance from Ren Ning.
However, Ren Ning didn't even wait to get closer, he drew his bow and shot two arrows, then turned his horse's head and headed east.
