The arrow landed on the tree trunk, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling slightly.
He pointed his head at the man who was shooting the arrow and shouted: "Don't shoot at the body, shoot at the head. This big insect's skin is pretty good. I'll go back and make a leather mat for you."
Hearing this, the man nodded towards him, bent his bow and nocked an arrow again, this time aiming at the big insect's eyes.
Not far away, the three members of Fei Yao's team looked here nervously. One of the men said: "Brother Yao, why don't we go and help?"
Seeing that he was the winner, Fei Yao still had time to think about taking the skin. He shook his head and said, "Goodbye, lest you come back and say we stole the prey."
The other two people spread their hands, noncommittal.
Fei Yao looked back and explained: "Don't be emotional. We are all from the same village. Keep an eye on them first. If there is any danger, should we take action?"
The two men nodded in agreement and already put their hands on the bowstring.
Over there, Zheng Tou saw that the big insect not only did not run away, but glared at them angrily. Behind him, Fei Yao and the other three were still watching their own excitement.
Wait for this beast."
"Brother Zhengtou, don't act recklessly. If you are bitten by this big insect, your legs and feet will be disabled immediately."
"Yes, Zhentou, we are here to practice, not to die."
Zhengtou had made up his mind, and took out the Eight-sided Han Sword from his waist, and said: "It's okay, I haven't practiced in vain these days. You'll see what happens next. You guys, keep an eye on me and don't let this beast escape."
Seeing that they could not persuade him, the two team members could only nod cautiously and said, "Then be careful."
He nodded slightly, and the sword in his hand shone coldly. After the men in the village got the Han sword, they would wipe it and maintain it every day, treating it like a family heirloom. The sword's edge would be polished every day until it broke the hair.
At this time, the big insect also seemed to sense the danger, staring at the scale that was slowly approaching it, and issued a warning with a low tiger roar.
But his intention to kill it was clear. Seeing that the insect was ready to attack, he directly used his legs and rushed towards the insect. The Han sword in his hand was pointed directly at the insect's mouth and nose. Even at this time,
He also wanted to keep the leather intact and give Wei Cheng a perfect tiger skin cushion.
This big bug is also unambiguous. The sharp fangs in its mouth are shining with bloodthirsty light in the sun, and the tongue full of barbs still has the flesh and blood left by the prey. Finally, I know how the tiger basin's big mouth came about. It's harsh.
The roar of the tiger echoed in everyone's ears.
Zhengtou was overjoyed when he saw this, his momentum slowed down slightly, but the force of the forward thrust of the Han sword in his hand increased sharply, because the big insect also rushed towards him. If he did not stabilize his center of gravity in time, he would probably be pounced by the big insect.
.
Not far away, Fei Yao bent his bow and set an arrow, all in one movement.
As long as the scale's head is slightly unresponsive, the arrow in his hand will hit the insect's heart accurately.
Fortunately, Zhongtou's reaction was perfect. The moment the big insect pounced on him, he stabilized his body and stabbed the Han sword in his hand directly towards the open mouth of the big insect's basin. The blade went straight into the throat, and Zhongtou could see the head.
His right hand held the hilt of the sword, only three inches away from the tiger's mouth.
Hot tiger blood spurted out, and instead of feeling sick, Zhitou beat his chest and roared to vent the pressure in his heart.
It was the first time that a big bug was killed so easily. Everyone looked at Zheng Tou who was shouting next to the big bug's corpse with incredulous expressions. There was admiration, longing and yearning in their eyes.
Fei Yao and others looked at the weighing head and had only one thought in their minds: Are we already that strong?
···
On the mountain road.
The people marching looked at each other in confusion, wondering if it was an illusion, but just now they seemed to hear the angry roar of the big insect.
Le Jin looked at the bushes on the side, his eyes full of vigilance.
Xu Huang, who was next to him, also found a thick branch to lean against. Encountering big insects in this deep mountain forest was no joke.
Not only them, the heroes who wanted to go to Haojia Village to see the magic soldiers also became cautious one by one.
Many mountain people die in the tiger's mouth every year. Sometimes the big bugs are so hungry that they will go down the mountain to look for food. Many people present have seen bloody scenes of big bugs eating people, and have an instinctive fear of big bugs.
But there were a few exceptions. Relying on their strength, many people looked at Le Jin and others with sarcasm.
"Oh, a big insect is so frightened that it trembles. I don't know where you got the courage to fight for the magic weapon."
Le Jin frowned slightly and wanted to refute, but Xu Huang pulled him back.
Xu Huang shook his head and said: "Don't waste your energy with them here. The deep mountains and old forests are extremely dangerous. It's autumn now, and the wild beasts in the mountains are starting to look for food everywhere. There are so many of us, and we may have been targeted by the wild beasts a long time ago.
It’s better to be careful.”
Le Jin glanced warily at the dense shrubs around him and the dark woods in the distance, nodded and said, "I listen to you."
Fortunately, the group of them arrived at the foot of the mountain without any danger.
Seeing the lift platform from a distance, some people who had never seen the world were amazed.
On the mountain, people from Haojia Village saw so many people gathering at the foot of the mountain and immediately went to notify Hao Dadao.
Not long after, Hao Dadao and the villagers looked down at them.
Hao Dadao asked loudly: "Who is here and what is your purpose?"
In the crowd, the leading men looked at each other and smiled. Seeing that he was an old man from the ordinary mountain people, one of the bald men shouted loudly: "Old man, when you see our master coming in person, you still dare to stand up and talk, don't you know?"
How do you write the word death?"
Hao Dadao frowned slightly.
Xu Huang looked around curiously. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
Not only him, but Le Jin on the side also frowned, and the vigilance in his eyes became more intense.
The leading men were still shouting.
"Old man, I heard that there is a magical weapon here. Please bring it to us as a sacrifice to our master. I hope your life will be spared."
"Master, I'm afraid we went to the wrong hill. This doesn't look like the Wei family's stronghold."
"It's possible, it's really unlucky. How about we go up there to see if there's anything good to eat or drink, and find a girl to sleep with?"
"Hehehe, the second master is right. No matter if it is the Wei family's stronghold or not, go up and have a look first."
"Old man Wu, put the ladder down quickly."
On the mountain, Hao Dadao frowned and turned around and said: "Go and inform the young master that there are a few blind thieves coming to cause trouble."
The villager nodded and was about to run to the hut.
"No, I'm here." Wei Cheng walked over calmly, followed by several children eating lollipops.
The sudden appearance of Young Master made everyone at the foot of the mountain look at him sideways. The leading men were stunned, and one of them said: "It is really the stronghold of the Wei family. This Young Master is not an ordinary person at first glance. He is the master of the family. What should we do?"
?”
The leader's expression changed, and he suddenly said with a ferocious smile: "What else can we do? Since there is news that the magic weapon is here, let's go up and rob it. How dare a few mountain people resist our Jiaolong Gang?"
Can’t make it?”
"The boss is right, just go up and grab it." Someone immediately agreed.
Just as they were discussing how to go up the mountain, a scream broke out from the crowd behind them.
"Ah, it's a big insect, run away!"
Valley
The few men who were thinking about how to go up the mountain frowned and looked back, just in time to see a 'big insect' walking from the dark forest. The big insect was about nine feet tall and stood up like a human, which frightened them to the core.
All broken.
Behind the crowd, Xu Huang slowly relaxed his eyebrows, grabbed Le Jin who was also panicking, pointed at the big insect and said, "Don't be afraid, that big insect is dead."
Le Jin was so frightened that he pulled him back and retorted: "What's dead? Look at it... eh?"
When Le Jin raised his eyes, he realized that a big man was walking toward them with a big insect on his back. There were two people behind the big man, who were looking at the group of them with squinted eyes.
He pulled away the tiger's head that blocked his view, glanced at the crowd gathered at the foot of the mountain, and asked curiously: "Could it be that people from the Wei family have sent supplies again?"
The men from the two teams followed closely behind. One of them shook his head and said: "I'm afraid not, they don't even have a frame. I'm afraid these people are not doing well."
Zhengtou was startled at first, then his expression changed drastically. He glanced at the crowd and felt a little relieved when he saw that it was not a thief wearing a yellow scarf.
Just when the three of them walked to the crowd, a person from the Jiaolong Gang headed by them walked out.
"Son of a bitch, I was shocked. I thought it was a big insect, but it turned out to be three mud-legged people."
The man couldn't help but raise his leg and kick him in the chest.
He frowned, but he had no intention of evading.
He heard a "crack" sound behind him, and then a cold light flashed from the corner of his eyes, followed by a bright red.
Weighing head looked at the man in front of him as if he were a dead man, and the man's raised right leg was cut into two pieces in the next moment. A large amount of blood spurted out from the cut hole, splashing all over Weighing head. Weighing head remained unmoved.
, use your body to prevent the insect's skin from getting any dirt.
"ah!"
Cries of pain followed closely, and the man from the Jiaolong Gang rolled on the ground holding his broken leg.
Zhengtou said: "Don't worry about them for now. Send the big insect up and talk about it later."
The two team members nodded slightly, and the man who drew the sword hit the Han sword with a forceful hand, and the blood on the blade flew out, just drawing a red line on the ground.
He and another man stood on the side of the red line, standing tall and towering, the Han sword in his hand reflected a cold light, which was in sharp contrast with the blood line on the ground. He raised his eyes and warned everyone: "Dare to cross
Those who follow this line will die!"
The chief of the Jiaolong Gang watched helplessly as his second-in-command had his legs chopped off. He was so angry that he was about to go crazy.
I heard a sudden 'chirp...explosion!' above my head.
Looking up, a burst of green smoke slowly dispersed in the sky.
On the top of the mountain, Wei Cheng chuckled and said: "The cannon that costs two yuan a piece is quite loud."
Seeing this, Aning's eyes gleamed and he said eagerly: "Brother Wei, I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it this time."
Wei Cheng looked at the dense jungle in the distance and saw birds flying from all directions in the dense forest, so he smiled and said: "No, they have already heard the noise, and it will be a waste to let them go again. I will let you wait until the New Year."
Put enough."
An Ning pouted when he heard this.
However, she soon became happy again, because she came up on the lift platform with a big insect on her back, "Yeah, a big insect ate tonight, cluck, cluck... hiss."
"Sir, who are these people at the foot of the mountain?" Chengtou handed the big insect to the villagers to deal with, walked closer and asked with his fists clasped.
Wei Teng was also puzzled. He looked at the leaders of the Jiaolong Gang and guessed: "They must be bandits somewhere. It's okay. I've already informed them to come back."
Chengtou also heard the sound of the soaring cannon, nodded, and stood aside on guard.
At the foot of the mountain, Xu Huang's expression suddenly changed and he pulled Le Jin aside.
Le Jin asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xu Huang shook his head and looked at the dense woods around him with a wary expression. Cold sweat was dripping on his forehead unknowingly.
It seemed to confirm his premonition.
The next moment, arrows suddenly flew from the sky.
Arrows were thrown from all directions, fell on the ground, and formed a circle, enclosing them in the middle.
Just when everyone was in shock and confusion, figures kept flickering in the dense woods, and they heard a loud shout, the voice of Xu Chu: "Guards, obey the order, anyone who dares to cross the thunder pond will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
In an instant, figures continued to appear on and under the surrounding trees, and sharp arrows were aimed at the bewildered people in the arrow circle.
Xu Huang and Le Jin looked at each other. They were still calm. Many people in the crowd were scared to death, especially those men who claimed to be the Jiaolong Gang. At this time, they no longer showed off their power as before.
"Master, this place... is, yes, is the Wei family's stronghold."
The leader of the Jiaolong Gang swallowed hard: "I know even if you don't tell me, I'm afraid it will be hard to be kind today, alas."
The lift platform slowly lowers.
Wei Cheng walked over with his hands behind his back and a calm expression.
In the woods, two brothers, Xu Ding and Xu Chu, walked out one on the left and the other on the right, forming a defensive position on both sides of Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng looked at the people surrounded and asked with a smile: "Where do you bandits come from?"
Everyone looked at each other, and a young knight stepped forward and clasped his fists in salute, explaining: "No, no, we are not in the same group as them. We were in Huangxu, Nanyang, and traveled to Luoyang with our classmates. We heard that there was a magic weapon here.
, so I came here to take a look, I didn’t mean to offend!”
"Yes, we are not on the same side with them. I know some of them who specialize in blocking rivers and robbing people on the river. How can we be on the same side with them? Master Mingjian."
Wei Cheng looked at the Jiaolong Gang and saw that they did not refute, but just looked at him warily, nodded and said, "Since they are water bandits, let's kill them."
"This..." The leader of the Jiaolong Gang did not expect Wei Cheng to be so ruthless, so he hurriedly defended himself and said: "Master Wei, please spare your life. I have a valuable gift to offer, please spare your life, Mr. Wei."
Wei Cheng was stunned, scratched his head, and asked: "Do you have gold? Gold."
Everyone in the Jiaolong Gang looked at each other and nodded: "Yes, yes, this thing is of no use. We have a lot of it in the village."
Wei Cheng's eyes lit up. It happened that there were not many gold cakes sent by Wei's family. The next batch of gold jewelry lacked raw materials and needed to be replenished.
He looked at Xu Chu and said, "Take someone with them to get it."
"Yes." Xu Chu responded with clasped fists.
Wei Cheng looked at the others again, but he didn't expect that these people were all here for his 'magic weapon'. The news must have been leaked from the Wei family. Oh, are you looking for trouble for yourself?
After thinking about it, Wei Cheng felt that this was good, just to see if there were any talents he could recruit.
Looking at the young man named Huang Xu, Wei Cheng always felt that the name sounded familiar. He hesitated and said: "It's not impossible to want a magic weapon. I'll give you a test. If you can do it, I will give you a chance."
Seeing that they didn't have to die anymore, Huang Xu and others thanked him excitedly and asked, "I wonder what the test is?"
Wei Cheng pointed to the cliff twenty to thirty meters high behind him and said: "Just climb up with your bare hands and without any tools."
