flapping wings

When Qi Ping woke up, before he opened his eyes, he smelled a delicious fish soup. He sat up and turned his head to look behind him.

At this time, the setting sun was sinking, Mu Xiaoque was bathed in the golden sunlight, even her hair shimmered, the coldness was melted by the sunlight, at a glance, it immediately encroached on all the autumn colors in Qi Ping's eyes.

He moved to the deck, sat cross-legged on the opposite side of Mu Xiaoque, raised his hand to take the soup handed over by the other party, and put it in his mouth, a hand came quickly, quickly covered his mouth, and said helplessly: "It's hot. "

Before Qi Ping could react, Mu Xiaoque withdrew her hand, lowered her head and continued to stir the pot of soup.

Under Qi Ping's fiery gaze, he still didn't change his face, and finally dropped the spoon and got into the cabin, leaving a cold order: "You keep watch."

Qi Ping ate a few noodle cakes with the soup to fill his stomach, then slipped into the cabin and guarded Mu Xiaoque with his sword in hand.

Qi Ping leaned forward, wishing he could count the number of moles on the other person's face, he grinned, covered his face and admired Mu Xiaoque's sleeping face again. Can't get enough.

Ka!

Suddenly there was a very light sound from the bottom of the boat, and Mu Xiaoque suddenly opened his eyes, and Qi Ping met his eyes immediately, but he didn't care about the embarrassment at this time, and immediately rushed to the deck holding his sword.

Mu Xiaoque didn't even hesitate for a second. He got up and followed closely behind. The water was covered with thick fog and he could hardly see anything. He listened with his ears sideways, and said solemnly: "We are surrounded."

As soon as the words fell, a dim yellow light gradually lit up in the thick fog, with fringes flickering around the light and shadows. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no other sound coming from the calm river, making the boats look like ghost shadows.

Whoa!

Suddenly a dozen black shadows jumped out of the water and attacked them. Qi Ping drew out his sword and quickly turned around and swept towards the group of people with [-]% of his internal strength.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the other side to retreat, he got out of the gap made by those people, blocked the attacking chaotic sword with one hand, and grabbed the trembling boatman kneeling on the deck with the other and retreated to the cabin.

However, at this moment, in a corner where no one could see, a jet-black dagger was hitting Qi Ping's abdomen, swiftly and silently.

And all his attention was on the few people in front of him, and he didn't even notice the mutation happening around him.

The point of the knife pierced through the clothes, and a little coldness was already attached to the flesh, Qi Ping was shocked to react.

He stomped on the clouds and stepped back, but it was too late, the boatman followed closely and stabbed Qi Ping's body fiercely.

The boatman turned out to be a fake!

The point of the knife just scratched a little bit of flesh, and a drop of blood suddenly splashed on Qi Ping's face. Before he could see what happened, the boatman suddenly opened his eyes wide, blood gushed out of his mouth, and fell to the side feebly. past.

Qi Ping took a closer look and found a copper coin stuck around his neck.

Quickly regaining consciousness, Qi Ping held his sword and attacked the enemy in front of him. At this time, Mu Xiaoque had already dealt with several people on his side and came to help him.

I saw that Mu Xiaoque's sword moves were fast and slow, and she couldn't see the specific way at all. Stabbing, chopping, pointing, pulling, collapsing, cutting, wiping, picking, piercing, lifting, twisting, sweeping, etc. Basic moves.

However, this person's eyes are vicious, and he can tell the flaws in the opponent's moves at a glance. His moves are tricky, and his sword and sword are killing moves that see blood.

The battle ended without any risk, but before the two had a short rest, they saw that half of the cabin was already soaked in water.

The boat was sinking slowly, and it turned out that the other party had already punched through their boat in the water.

At this moment, they have become real trapped beasts on the vast river.

The enemy ships on the periphery have stopped advancing, and the opponent is clearly planning to consume them alive, "Grab the ship and follow me closely."

Mu Xiaoque took a look at Qi Ping, her qi circulated, and she stomped her feet slightly, the wooden boat was completely torn apart, and the broken boards flew in all directions, floating on the river surface, becoming pedals one by one.

He stepped on the wooden plank and rushed in one direction. Suddenly, a long black arrow pierced through the thick fog and arrived in front of Mu Xiaoque, and he swung his sword away.

But then his pupils shrank!

Hundreds of arrows in all directions have reached them silently under the cover of the environment, like the sickle of death, which is lying on his neck, as long as they move a little, they will be completely dead.

"Leave the back to me," Qi Ping, who was closely behind Mu Xiaoque, glanced at the person in front of him, and turned around resolutely holding his sword, intending to give the other party a chance to escape.

However, before he could make a move, Mu Xiaoque had already rushed over and hugged his waist, both of them fell into the river.

The long arrow still chased them for a certain distance in the water, and finally completely lost momentum and sank to the bottom of the river. Mu Xiaoque looked at Qi Ping and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qi Ping looked at the river with fear in his eyes, his limbs were still swinging regularly, obviously he could swim and he was not injured.

Mu Xiaoque took out a money bag from her bosom, opened it in the water, gestured to Qi Ping for a bag of copper coins inside, and then pointed upwards.

Then he took out a copper coin and threw it forward in the water. The copper coin hit the long arrow and made a muffled ding.

Seeing that Qi Ping nodded and seemed to understand his intention, Mu Xiaoque hesitated for a second before turning to leave, then suddenly reached out and patted Qi Ping's head lightly, nodded to greet him, and then swam away.

He stopped at a position about three meters away from Qi Ping, with the top of his head almost touching the water, he turned around and pointed upwards towards Qi Ping.

Receiving Mu Xiaoque's instruction, Qi Ping probed upwards and leaked out of the water, greedily took a big mouthful of air, and seeing the arrow rain hit again, he made the thousand-jin pendant sink into the water quickly again.

Mu Xiaoque seized the time gap when the other party exchanged bows and arrows, jumped out of the water, and the copper coin in his hand shot towards the southeast, making a sharp sound as it rubbed against the air.

Amid the sound of "plop plop" falling into the water, he wanted to continue to rush forward, but the arrows rained down one after another, so he had no choice but to plop into the water, pulling Qi Ping to swim to the southeast.

The accident happened again, and a group of people swam over from the water not far away, showing a faint siege.

At this time they were in the middle of the river, and it was almost impossible to swim to the shore. The only way out was to grab a boat.

The two turned their heads to exchange looks, nodded at the same time, went up to the surface of the water to take a breath of fresh air, then turned their backs tacitly, and swam in the opposite direction.

Holding a sword in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, Qi Ping swam towards the person closest to him.

Not giving the opponent a chance to get close, he held his sword and stabbed at the person in front of him. In the water, any move became a show, so the two sides were close to hand-to-hand combat.

The opponent was holding his sword with a dagger in his hand, Qi Ping stepped forward in an instant, and the dagger slit the man's throat at a tricky angle.

A stream of blood floated straight up, covering the man's entire head, and slowly sank toward the bottom of the water.

At this time, a person on the left had already rushed to his side, stabbing his ribs with a dagger.

Qi Ping held the sword and raised it from front to back slightly, barely pushing away the menacing dagger, and then accelerated his body, the dagger sliced ​​open the opponent's right neck.

However, before he could adjust his posture, two more people from the right and rear had already stuck to his side.

Qi Ping moved slightly to avoid the vitals in the back, and was stabbed in the back. The dagger in his hand drew an arc from bottom to top at the same time and cut off the neck of the man on the right.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the dagger was stuck in his ribs and could not move, Qi Ping moved slightly to the left, and then stabbed towards the opponent's artery from top to bottom.

Holding the man's neck, he turned around and kicked the other person who was approaching away, and at the same time stabbed the other person's chest with his sword.

At this time, Qi Ping was completely out of strength, relying on internal strength to maintain such a long time underwater, and now it is almost impossible.

While the nearby enemies were eliminated, he took a quick look at the situation on Mu Xiaoque's side. Although the battle there was not over yet, it seemed that Mu Xiaoque was still able to handle it.

Qi Ping quickly took a breath of fresh air, avoided another round of arrows shot at him, and rushed towards Mu Xiaoque in the water.

Mu Xiaoque was holding a dagger in both hands to cut open the neck of one enemy, and stabbing the heart of the other with the other hand, Qi Ping rushed to stab the sword into the back of the enemy who was sneaking past from behind.

The underwater enemies were completely wiped out, Qi Ping's hands trembled due to lack of strength, and now the dagger was still in his body, every movement was tantamount to a Lingchi.

But he didn't dare to pull it out, in case of heavy bleeding, it would be completely over, so he could only support the pain and minimize the large-scale movements of the body, at least wait until a safe place to deal with it.

At this time, the water was already blood red, Qi Ping looked at Mu Xiaoque's condition, there was no vital injury, but there were some shallow cuts on the arm.

As if noticing his movements, Mu Xiaoque waved his hand towards him, grabbed his arm and continued to swim southeast. Qi Ping felt much more comfortable and obediently stayed under the opponent's palm.

The two quietly swam out of the encirclement from the bottom of the enemy's boat, Mu Xiaoque dragged Qi Ping out of the water, looked at the enemy boat in front of him and said: "You drag the people from the five boats on the right, I'll go grab the boat. "

Qi Ping frowned and swam a little uncoordinatedly to the right, mobilizing all the qi in his body to the sword, and nodded towards Mu Xiaoque.

Waiting for Mu Xiaoque to finish nodding, they jumped out of the water at the same time, put their feet on the deck and tapped lightly, using their strength to rush towards those people.

Qi Ping swept out, those people didn't have time to turn their heads back, they fell into the river one after another, the splashing sound continued, and blood came out of the water.

He quickly grabbed a bleeding man in front of him to block the incoming arrows, and swung the weapon in his hand, chopping and slashing towards the crowd.

Fortunately, these archers were not very good at martial arts, and they were killed by Mu Xiaoque with copper coins just now, so it was relatively easy to hold them back.

With enough qi, Mu Xiaoque swept the sword in his hand from left to right towards the enemy, a silver light flashed, and upon closer inspection, it turned out that qi had turned into sword qi.

He landed on the boat, quickly grabbed an oar and swept the enemy into the water, then immediately rushed to the other side of the boat, quickly rowed the boat forward under the cover of the cabin, and then blew a loud whistle.

Hearing the whistle, Qi Ping left the boat, jumped into the water and swam towards the boat. The arrow almost chased after his buttocks, and was thrown behind him by a little speed.

After getting on the boat, he grabbed the other pair of oars on the boat, pumped up all his energy and rowed forward together with Wood Sparrow.

The more the two cooperated, the tacit understanding became, and the boat seemed to fly away, throwing the enemies farther and farther behind.

After they couldn't see those people completely, the two of them changed direction and rowed downstream again, and estimated that they had reached a safe place. At the same time, they tacitly let go of the oars and let the boat float along the current.

Qi Ping's spirit suddenly relaxed, he immediately became dizzy, and fell into the water unsteadily.
