General

At present, after this battle, the water bandits also suffered heavy losses. Except for the two who just patrolled, there is no other trace on the deck.

But no matter how few people there are, if you come head-to-head with them, with your three-legged skill, I'm afraid you can only send them to your door in vain.Now the two of Ling Feng are locked in the cabin, if they want to save them, they must be lured out...

Qiu Yang frowned, looked at the slightly damaged wooden hull in front of him, and suddenly thought about it.

He has been dealing with fishing boats since he was a child, and he also relied on his own help to repair his father's broken boat. Naturally, he knows exactly where the weakest link is on the whole boat.Now if I do the opposite and remove a few boards without anyone noticing, when the cabin leaks, they will all come to clean up the accumulated water and repair the hull, and I can take advantage of the chaos!

Thinking of this, Qiu Yang took a deep breath, took out the black iron dagger that Ling Feng gave him before, held it in his palm, and slowly dived into the water again.

Swimming and groping along the bottom of the boat, I quickly found the weakest connection at the bottom of the boat.He used the dagger in his hand to remove the fixed iron nails and pry open the intersecting mortise and tenon joints. Fortunately, the black iron short dagger is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also cuts iron like mud. At that time, he finally succeeded in prying off a thick plank at the bottom of the boat.

The icy river water poured into the dark cabin at the bottom of the ship in an instant, Qiu Yang quietly floated to the surface, climbed the side of the ship and hid quietly in a shadow.The water poured in very fast, and according to his experience, it would be discovered by the remaining water bandits in a short while.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I heard a man running hurriedly on the deck, shouting loudly while running: "The bottom of the boat is leaking! Come help!!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of noisy footsteps rushing over. Everyone held copper basins and utensils in their hands and scooped water out desperately. Two craftsmen also got into the isolation cabin and mended the bottom of the ship.The broken half of the plank was thrown into the river by Qiu Yang long ago and drifted to nowhere. Now it is even more difficult for them to find a plank of suitable size to fill the hole.

Qiu Yang held his breath and listened for a moment. Seeing that the water bandits almost ran to rescue the boat, he slowly climbed along the side of the boat to the deck, and carefully got into the cabin.

The boats of the water bandits are very large and have many rooms, but their respective use arrangements are very regular. Some are in stock, and some are inhabited. It is not difficult to find a place where prisoners can be held.

When Qiu Yang quietly sneaked into the cell, Li Xuan and Ling Feng happened to be locked in the same room. The water bandits bound their hands and feet with hemp rope and hung them firmly in the air.Looking at the two of them, Qiu Yang couldn't help taking a deep breath. The large and small wounds covered his whole body, and large swathes of blood were blooming.It's not hard to imagine how fierce the battle between them and the water bandits was after he and Lanjing left!

"Qiu Yang?!" Ling Feng seemed to sense a familiar breath entering the room, and immediately opened his eyes and looked forward, "Why are you back? Master... Master, is there anything wrong?!"

Ever since he was arrested, Ling Feng was ready to die. After all, he and Li Xuan killed dozens of them overnight, and these people would never show mercy.Now the water bandits are not in a hurry to kill him, they probably want to test whether there is any usable information from them.

"I sent the master to the river bank, and then the master was worried about you, so he asked me to come back to save people!" Qiu Yang nodded, and gently moved towards the two of them, but before he could cut the rope, he heard a rush of people. Footsteps came quickly outside the door.

Qiu Yang looked up at the two vigilantly, saw Ling Feng pouted at the dark corner by the door, and hid obediently.

The wooden door was pushed open heavily, and a tall water bandit walked in from the door with an uneasy expression on his face. He looked at Li Xuan and Li Xuan who were still hanging not far away, and there seemed to be nothing unusual. Heaving a sigh of relief, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, he saw Qiu Yang hiding not far away.

"Come... um..."

He froze all over in fright, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, but just as soon as he uttered a word, Qiu Yang rushed forward, covered his mouth with one hand, held the dagger flat with the other, and cut his throat forcefully.

This move was fast and ruthless, and blood spurted from the neck immediately, flowing silently all over the ground.

Maybe it was because the stress reaction was too strong just now, and I suddenly felt scared afterwards.Although the person was killed by himself at this moment, Qiu Yang stared at the bloody red hand and was dumbfounded in place.

i killed...

I actually killed someone? !

Qiu Yang suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Feng in disbelief, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Well done." Ling Feng nodded encouragingly, seeing his expression of shock and fear at the moment, suddenly curled his lips jokingly, just like he usually taught him, and severely criticized, "But... After practicing for so long, there are still many loopholes, the speed is not fast, the shape of the hand is not good, and the position of the cut is also biased, if it is not for such an idiot, it is probably you who are lying down now!"

The memory of being punished to death by Ling Feng on weekdays instantly came back to his mind, Qiu Yang was stunned for a moment, and immediately entered the training state, completely forgetting about the killing just now.

"Ling...Brother Lingfeng, I know I was wrong..." He recognized his mistake in a daze, but when he looked up at Lingfeng, he suddenly found that this domineering man was still hanging on the wall...

Qiu Yang quickly walked two steps to come to the two, cut the rope with a bloody dagger, and quickly let them down.

Li Xuan fell heavily to the ground, and because the shock hurt the wound in his abdomen, he immediately covered it tightly with his hands, but blood still seeped out from between his fingers again.

"I broke the wooden plank at the bottom of the boat, and they rushed to repair it. There is not much time. We have to get off the boat before we are discovered." Qiu Yang looked at Li Xuan, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lingfeng is afraid Water, I have to swim back with him, you are so badly injured, can you make it to the shore?!"

"can."

Li Xuan tore off a piece of fabric from the skirt with no expression on his face, wrapped it tightly around the wound, and tied the two ends tightly, then said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The three slipped out of the cabin quietly, and slid into the water one after another along the iron chain connecting the anchor. On the dark river surface, the invisible figure passed through the waves and gradually swam towards the river bank.

……

Lanjing sat curled up in the cave, and at some point fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up from the nightmare, panting, there was still a terrifying silence around him.

After Qiu Yang left, I don't know how long it took, the bonfire that was burning just now was only left with a embers.The night is still gloomy, but despair and fear continue to settle in my heart as time goes by.

Lan Jing stood up shyly, supported the cold rock wall and walked slowly towards the entrance of the cave. There was still no movement in the dense forest in front of her, but she didn't know if she was dazzled. In the bushes not far away, there was a faint The green light looming in the darkness.

Lan Jing's breathing was severely stagnated, and her head went blank with a "hum".

It's Snow Wolf.

The most dangerous existence in this winter field.

Lan Jing shook her legs and took a few steps back desperately, hiding behind the fire that was about to go out.The fire was not extinguished, so the wolf would not dare to approach, but the saddest thing was that the dry firewood he carried into the cave was running out, and how could he dare to leave the cave at this moment? !

He gently threw the last few dead branches into the fire, and the remaining flames danced slightly, emitting a ray of warm light.He was so scared that his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. In the darkness not far away, there seemed to be the slight sound of dead leaves being crushed. In the cold air, there was a frightening smell of blood...

The flame in front of his eyes dimmed again, Lan Jing touched his body, but there was nothing that could be used for self-defense except the Langhuan jade pendant and silk handkerchief. He pulled out the long white jade hairpin on his head and held it in his hand, but his heart was It is very clear how fragile this thing is compared to the snow wolf's sharp teeth and claws.

But at this moment, he just felt... Only by holding something in his hand can he feel at ease.

Lan Jing stuck tightly to the rock wall at the corner of the cave, staring at the cave entrance with wide eyes, there was still a mass of red embers flickering on the ground at this moment, but the rustling sound could not wait to come closer. come over.

Under the faint afterglow, a pure white snow wolf stood quietly at the entrance of the cave. The dim moonlight intertwined with the faint firelight, which could barely outline its strong outline, and the faint green that flickered non-stop .

Lan Jing gasped, and moved her body backwards vigorously, only to find that she was stuck deep in the corner and could not retreat.

He is so scared...

But he could only hold his breath desperately and clenched the jade hairpin tightly, but he still couldn't restrain his teeth from clenching, and his whole body began to shake uncontrollably.He didn't dare to imagine the pain of being scratched by the sharp claws, let alone the ending of being bitten by the foul-smelling wolf teeth.At this moment, deep fear enveloped him, and tears almost fell down his cheeks in despair...

Li Xuan...

where are you? !

Li Xuan... Come and save me...

He curled up, but the man's name kept flashing across his heart...

Snow Wolf didn't seem to have any plans to advance aggressively. Instead, he arched his back slightly and confronted him with his eyes wide open, as if quietly judging the strength of the opponent.

Lan Jing didn't dare to make a sound, but the tears couldn't stop falling, he knew that this time would not be too long, once the snow wolf confirmed his superiority, he would immediately attack him and bite his throat.But at this moment, he has already lost most of his body size and strength, not to mention, he doesn't even have a decent weapon in his hand.

The fire on the ground was completely extinguished, leaving only a mess of carbon ash, and the figure of the snow wolf was only a dark outline under the moonlight penetrating into the cave.

Lan Jing raised the long hairpin, trying to deter the beast that was approaching gradually, but it froze slightly at first, then bared its huge fangs, and rushed towards itself like a terrifying smile. Come!

Lan Jing screamed in horror, closed her eyes reflexively and shielded her arms in front of her, her mind was buzzing, and the long hairpin fell from her stiff fingers to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

The smell of blood rushed to his face, accompanied by a gust of cold wind.But at this critical moment, the piercing whistling sound suddenly pierced the night sky, and the sound of sharp blades piercing through muscles and bones followed closely behind.

Lan Jing only felt that the expected pain did not appear, but a thick wolf's leg pounced on him fiercely, causing him pain!

Lan Jing opened her eyes full of horror and looked, only to see that the bloody wolf was pierced through the neck by the long sword, and hit its head on the cold rock wall.

Warm blood splashed all over his body and face, Lan Jing raised her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the cave, only thinking that she must look more miserable than this wolf...
