The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father
Chapter 40: Hunting in the jungle encounters crisis
Qu Qingyan looked as calm as Mount Tai. He rode his horse side by side with the three princes, his body agile as he shuttled through the dense forest.
Everyone concentrated and held their breath, listening for any movement around them, not missing any sign of prey.
Suddenly, there was a movement ahead. Everyone became alert and immediately grasped their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.
As soon as the target appeared before their eyes, everyone couldn't wait to pull the string and release the arrow, the action was done in one go, like a gust of wind and rain.
The arrows flew through the air, making a sharp sound and accurately hitting the prey. The powerful impact made the prey fall instantly. This series of actions was smooth and flowing, showing the extraordinary archery skills and agile response ability of the four riders.
The four men dismounted and walked to the prey.
"Yan Qing wins again. How boring." Mo Yiyan helplessly pulled out the special arrow made by the Prime Minister's Mansion from the fatal wound on the prey's chest. Looking at the bloodstains remaining on it, a feeling of frustration surged in his heart.
Mo Zemiao, who was standing by, saw this and said with a smile, "Master Yan's archery skills are really superb! I'm afraid he can now compete with Prime Minister Qu, right?"
"Mr. Yan, we are truly convinced!" Mo Xuyao also showed admiration, expressing his approval of Qu Qingyan's archery skills.
Like father, like son. Qu Qingyan has been very smart since he was young. He learns everything very quickly and thoroughly.
Facing the praise from everyone, she just smiled and responded modestly: "My Lords, thank you for your praise. These are just some of my tricks."
"Don't be so modest. If you keep talking like that, we brothers will be too embarrassed to face anyone." Mo Yiyan was a carefree person, used to being bold and straightforward. He strode to Qu Qingyan's side and put his arm around her shoulders without hesitation.
Qu Qingyan's body stiffened, and he took two steps back without leaving a trace, and said modestly: "It was just a coincidence, it's nothing to mention."
"I heard that Prime Minister Qu will be entering the palace to teach soon. I wonder if Young Master Yan will go with him?" Mo Zemiao seemed to have noticed Qu Qingyan's nervousness, so he cleverly changed the subject.
Qu Qingyan nodded slightly and replied, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's kindness, I have been asked to accompany the princes to study next time." His tone was calm and respectful.
Mo Yiyan was immediately delighted when he heard the news, and said excitedly: "That's great! From now on, we can get together every day. Yan Qing, to be honest, since the first time I met you, I felt like we were old friends and that we had met too late. From now on, we are brothers!"
"I dare not. I am just a commoner with a low status. I really dare not call the prince a brother." Qu Qingyan looked frightened.
"We have similar personalities, so why should we be so reserved?" Mo Yiyan didn't care at all. He stretched out his arm enthusiastically and wanted to put his arm around her shoulders again.
Mo Zemiao took the lead and walked between the two of them, stopping Mo Yiyan's movements and gently reprimanding him, "Twelfth brother, don't scare him."
At this time, the roar of a tiger could be faintly heard in the depths of the dense forest.
The four of them were shocked.
"Great! After searching for a long time, I finally found it. Today, I am also going to hunt a tiger. None of you are allowed to snatch it from me."
Before he finished speaking, Mo Yiyan quickly turned over and jumped onto a horse. With a flick of the reins, he galloped away like an arrow.
"Twelfth brother." Mo Zemiao shouted with a worried look on his face and hurriedly urged his horse to catch up.
Mo Xuyao also followed behind him.
Qu Qingyan looked at the three people's receding backs, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and followed behind them on his horse.
As we went deeper into the dense forest, the tiger's roar became clearer and louder.
Mo Yiyan became more and more excited. He rode faster and faster, eagerly looking for the tiger's trace.
Finally, when he saw the huge and mighty figure not far ahead, he immediately reined in his horse.
He quickly took out the bow and arrow, pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and aimed the sharp arrow steadily at the tiger.
At this moment, the tiger seemed to feel the threat from humans. It suddenly opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, let out a deafening roar, then leaped up and pounced towards Mo Yiyan like a mountain.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a cry came from a distance.
Then, a sharp arrow streaked through the sky like lightning and rushed straight towards the tiger. The tiger was keenly aware of the sudden danger, and it quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the fatal blow. The arrow passed by it and embedded deeply in the grass beside it.
With its life hanging by a thread and almost being hit by an arrow, this sudden and thrilling scene made the tiger furious. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs that were terrifying, and glared at everyone fiercely.
"Leave quickly, this tiger should not be underestimated." Mo Xuyao had also arrived nearby at this time. He had a solemn look on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the tiger, not daring to relax at all.
When the tiger saw so many people coming at once, it suddenly raised its head and roared.
[Host, there is something wrong with this tiger. It looks like it has become a spirit. It is calling for its companions to come over.]
As soon as the voice in his mind fell, Qu Qingyan informed the other three of the news.
Everyone immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
But a tiger quickly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
"Oh no, look at the tiger's eyes." At this time, even Mo Yiyan, who was always reckless, noticed something was wrong.
But the tiger's eyes were red, its fangs were exposed, and it glared at everyone fiercely, as if it wanted to eat them alive.
Qu Qingyan made a prompt decision, "This tiger doesn't want to let us go, we must try to hold it back and send one person back to get help."
She looked around, then at the slightly panicked princes, and said, "The Eighth Prince is brave and good at fighting, and the Ninth Prince is smart and agile. They can stay with me to resist the tiger. I'll trouble the Twelfth Prince to go back and get reinforcements."
"No! This prince is definitely not a coward who is afraid of death!" Mo Yiyan refused without hesitation.
The voice of Xiaoyaer complaining rang in my mind, "This guy is courageous, but his brain is not very flexible. If he is allowed to stay, he will definitely be a hindrance."
Mo Zemiao consoled him, "Twelfth brother, now is not the time to compete in bravery. We all need to retreat safely."
"Twelfth brother, be obedient and go back to get reinforcements. If it's any later we will all be killed here." Mo Xuyao pulled out two daggers from his boots and threw one to the gentle man next to him.
Qu Qingyan pulled out an arrow from behind, sprinkled medicine powder on it, and was ready to shoot.
Seeing the three people working together in perfect harmony, Mo Yiyan's eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "You must wait for me to come back!"
Having said this, he rode away at a gallop.
When the tiger saw someone leaving, it wanted to pounce.
At this critical moment, Qu Qingyan quickly pulled the bowstring and the arrow flew out like lightning.
She knew that tigers were very alert and would quickly flee to a safe place once they sensed danger. So, before the first arrow hit the target, she shot another arrow, which hit the tiger's leg without missing a beat.
"What a great archery skill!" Mo Xuyao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Mo Zemiao on the side also cast an admiring look.
Qu Qingyan remained calm and unperturbed. He pulled out another sharp arrow from the quiver behind him and put it on the bowstring.
In an instant, a sudden change occurred!
The originally calm grass on the left suddenly shook violently, accompanied by low roars, and two huge and majestic tigers suddenly jumped up like arrows from a bow, rushing towards them with their teeth and claws bared. Their sharp claws flashed with cold light, and their ferocious fangs made people shudder.
Faced with this sudden change, the three of them were all horrified, their hearts tightened, and their nerves instantly tensed to the extreme. Almost out of instinct, they turned over and dismounted without hesitation, dodging to the side at the fastest speed.
Although they managed to escape the disaster, the three horses under them were so frightened that they ran away.
Looking at the horses going away, the three of them looked at each other and groaned in their hearts.
Now that he had lost his mount, it was not easy to escape. The only thing he could do now was to grit his teeth and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Qu Qingyan was not panicked, after all, she had a trump card to save her life - space.
If it really comes to the last resort, she can hide in there to save her life.
Mo Xuyao and Mo Zemiao held sharp daggers in their hands and faced the ferocious tiger not far away with serious expressions. Their bodies were tense and they dared not relax at all.
Qu Qingyan asked the system, "What's going on? Why are there so many tigers here?" Two tigers had been hunted yesterday, and now there were still three. This was something very wrong for the enclosure.
After all, during the annual hunt, most of the wild beasts would be cleared out in advance, leaving only one or two as the finale.
But this time, there are so many ferocious beasts. It would be unconvincing to say that no one is playing tricks.
[Host, I don't know either. This didn't happen in the original plot. It's just a variable.] Xiaoyaer was also very distressed.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Qu Qingyan could only let the matter go.
She stared at the towering tree beside her, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"You guys cover me while I climb the tree, and I can attack from a distance with arrows." She has limited physical strength and only has some mediocre kung fu. If she fights head-on, she will only be at a disadvantage. It would be better for them to play to their strengths and cooperate with each other. Maybe they can escape.
The two princes were well aware of her superb archery skills and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
So, they carefully moved in front of her, forming a solid defense line. As they moved slowly, the two ferocious tigers, even the injured one, followed closely behind them.
The two sides confronted each other.
It was only a few steps away, but it felt like several long years had passed.
Finally, when they successfully arrived under the big tree, the tiger that was shot in the leg by the arrow began to suffer from the drug effects and suddenly fell to the ground with a bang.
Seeing this, the other two tigers turned around and looked.
At this moment, Qu Qingyan seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and quickly climbed up the tree trunk as agile as a cunning rabbit.
In the blink of an eye, she was halfway up the tree.
When the tiger reacted, he saw that the number of people in front of him had decreased again, and he couldn't help but get angry.
They each pounced towards one person.
The two men immediately fought back vigorously, but soon, blood appeared on their bodies, while the two tigers were not hurt at all.
Mo Zemiao smiled bitterly, "Eighth Brother, it looks like we brothers will die here today."
"Even if we die in the end, we will fight to the end!" Mo Xuyao's eyes were as sharp as torches, with red in the bottom of his pupils, and it was obvious that his bloodiness was aroused.
The two were about to fight to the death.
In an instant, three sharp arrows shot down from above and hit one of the tigers on the back.
With three arrows on its back, the tiger screamed in pain and rolled around.
Mo Xuyao and Mo Zemiao also took the opportunity to escape.
"Come up quickly!"
Qu Qingyan urged them while applying anesthetic to the arrow.
Two of the three extremely ferocious tigers were seriously injured, but one was still staring at them viciously with a fierce light flashing in its eyes.
Mo Xuyao stood in front fearlessly and said firmly: "Ninth brother, with my skills, I may have a chance of winning against this tiger. I will cover you, you quickly climb up the tree and hide!"
"No, Eighth Brother!" Mo Zemiao's eyes instantly became moist and he shouted with a choked voice.
"Hurry up!" Mo Xuyao shouted, "It will be too late if we don't leave now! We can't all die here!"
Mo Zemiao gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes, but he finally listened to his brother and quickly climbed up a big tree.
Mo Xuyao wiped the blood off his face, tightly gripped the dagger in his hand, and prepared for the final life-and-death battle.
"This is the last anesthetic!" Qu Qingyan tightly grasped the arrow in his hand and placed it on the bowstring with a firm look.
At this moment, the extremely ferocious tiger suddenly pounced towards the burly man at lightning speed.
In a flash, Qu Qingyan released the bowstring without hesitation, and the arrow flew away like a meteor.
However, surprisingly, the tiger seemed to have foreseen the danger and it retreated swiftly at the critical moment.
In the end, the arrow weakly penetrated the ground, just right between the man and the tiger, forming an insurmountable barrier.
The tiger stared at the arrow feather that was deeply embedded in the soil, fear evident in his eyes, and he no longer dared to take a step forward.
Mo Xuyao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and took the opportunity to adjust his breathing and take a moment to catch his breath.
At this moment, Qu Qingyan frowned and stared at the empty medicine bag with a worried look on his face.
She secretly regretted that if she had known this would happen, she should have prepared more anesthetics. After all, there was space, so there was no need to worry about having no place to store it.
Now that the anesthetic has run out, they are in danger.
[Host, why don't you just go into the dimension and don't worry about their life or death. They are not important characters anyway. If they die, they die. It won't have any impact on the plot.]
As soon as the little one's cold-blooded words came out, Qu Qingyan's brows were tightly furrowed.
It turns out that in the eyes of this dog system, if you have no use value, it doesn't matter if you die.
The degree of its cruelty is appalling.
