Chapter 77 The grove rushes(1/2)
Why do many Jianghu people choose to fight in the military tomb?
In addition to the significance of Jianghu, there is another important factor, that is, the military tomb is a place where it is difficult to escape.
There are mountains on three sides, a cliff that even Qinggong would find difficult to climb over in a short while, and a large lake on the other side.
If you lose, it will be difficult to escape, whether up the mountain or down to the lake.
A battle is held in the military tomb, where superiority and inferiority are determined and life and death are decided.
The only place with such favorable geographical location and great significance is the Military Tomb.
Like the lake where we are now, a little further out, there is a small forest.
If you lose here, just run into the woods and you're done.
Places like the grove are prone to accidents in rivers and lakes. Many people in the rivers and lakes have had accidents while running in a hurry in the grove.
He was trapped and killed by various counter-attacks.
Now, Aotian will enter the woods to complete his counterattack plan.
With Aotian shouting.
The Shanhaimen disciple of "Serving Gong" reacted quickly and immediately threw out the Sky-piercing Bow in his hand and lost a tube of specially made arrows.
Although Xia Yanzhen uses Aotian as his sparring partner, he doesn't really underestimate him.
I feel I have to maintain respect for Aotian's shooting of the sun.
He used Dragon Walk, walked as fast as flying, rushed towards the sky-penetrating bow in mid-air, and jumped up to cut it off.
Aotian was still on the ground and retreated towards the woods. Seeing that Xia Yan was really about to cut off the beard, he stretched out his hand and gave it a weak squeeze.
All things attracted!
The sky-piercing bow and quiver immediately accelerated and flew into Aotian's hands.
"I forgot about martial arts."
Xia Yanzhen landed and looked at Aotian.
Martial arts just can't cure Xia Yanzhen.
Aotian took the bow and quiver, put the quiver behind his back very skillfully, and rushed into the woods without looking back.
Others may not believe it, but as a big leader, Aotian’s usual hobby is hunting.
I often go deep into the mountains and forests, and hunt all day long with a bow and an arrow.
If Fang Duzun, Aotian and Jiuxiao were put into a deep mountain forest for a battle royale, in the end, the person who would survive would most likely be Aotian.
It is true that martial arts is very important, but martial arts is not omnipotent.
A martial arts master is not the same as a skilled hunter.
"Oh, I still used it." Bai Huang and Gao Qiang laughed at the same time.
In fact, there is no rule against using the Sky-piercing Bow.
But in the beginning, everyone fought with bare hands, and generally speaking, this kind of duel was equivalent to a ring battle.
After Aotian was defeated, he immediately took the Guantian Bow and ran into the forest, and his nature changed somewhat.
It's not an exaggeration to laugh at others.
It can be seen that Aotian is definitely a pragmatist and will not really put himself into a desperate situation just for the sake of face.
"Give!"
Now that Aotian entered the grove with the Guantian Bow, Wang Bing would not be polite. He shouted, took a few steps forward, and threw out the rifle in his hand.
Xia Yanzhen took the rifle and pulled out the Weeping Blood Gun, holding both guns in his hands.
But instead of entering the forest, he turned around and walked towards Tao E.
"Um?"
Not only the disciples of the Shanhai Sect, but also the crowd of spectators, and even Tao E and the others were stunned for a moment.
What's happening here?
No more fighting?
Of course not to fight. For Xia Yanzhen, the sparring partner ran away and took the bow. After losing the role of sparring partner, what is the point of fighting?
Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by people in the world if you give up on a fight halfway?
Xia Yanzhen was not worried at all. Not to mention that it was Aotian who brought it up, it was Aotian who was beaten, and it was Aotian who ran away.
Even if he was at a disadvantage and had to retreat strategically, Xia Yanzhen would not hesitate.
The one who is embarrassed now is Aotian. What is Xia Yan really afraid of?
Chasing into the woods, who knows if there might be any ambush or trap inside, Aotian's ability to run away proves that he is not a person who wants to save face and suffer.
This kind of person is more dangerous and you need to be careful.
Returning to Tao'e, Xia Yanzhen returned the rifle to Wang Bing.
"Aren't you going to fight?" Tao E asked.
"Well, let's talk about it next time." Xia Yanzhen said, "Find the fire first."
"good."
Xia Yanzhen said this, and no one would have any objections. He parked the carriage on the side of the road, and several people walked towards the ruins of the abandoned and charred village by the lake.
On the way, the Shanhaimen disciples involuntarily stepped out of the way, looking strange.
The duel ended in vain?
No, in fact, the result has already been achieved - the leader of the Shanhai Sect, Aotian, was defeated by the demon Xia Shiyi and escaped.
The disciples of the Shanhai Sect are not stupid and will not overestimate their capabilities to stop the Five Flying Immortals.
Several disciples entered the grove and chased their leader.
This result is naturally a blow to Shanhaimen, but it is better than Aotian dying at the hands of the demon.
Thinking about it this way, it seems acceptable.
No matter how much the Shanhaimen disciples comforted themselves, Xia Yanzhen and the others arrived at the abandoned village.
Tao E looked at a man who was joining in the fun and asked, "What happened here?"
The Jianghu man was startled, and then he puffed up his chest: "I'm afraid the fire demon is coming."
After the incident, some people blew it off and he talked to the Five Flying Immortals and Five Demons.
Rounding up means fighting each other.
If you round it off, you will not die even if you are defeated. If you put it into perspective, isn’t this on an equal footing with Aotian?
"Sure enough, it was the fire demon who came." Tao E was not surprised by this result, "Where did the fire demon go?"
"People from the Shanhai Sect have checked and suspected that he entered the lake. There was never such white mist on the lake before." The Jianghu man said.
"In the lake..."
Looking at the lake filled with white mist, Tao E frowned, this was not a good place.
On the ground, everyone can also fight the fire demon.
If you are in the water, you will be very passive.
By the way, wouldn't the fire demon be affected if it entered the water?
"Maybe the Fire Demon went to the Soldier Tomb." Fang Tianxing said, "Now that I think about it, there are a lot of weird things in that place, and there are also traces similar to those left by flames."
"Military Tomb."
Tao E and the others looked up to the other side of the lake.
The area of the lake is not small, and with the thick fog, you can't see the edge at a glance, let alone the military tomb on the opposite side.
After checking around, several people confirmed that the traces of the fire demon had indeed disappeared by the lake.
It is certain that they entered the lake, but I have to say whether they went to the military grave or not.
Several people began to discuss countermeasures.
In the grove, Aotian maintained his posture of drawing the bow, his expression solemn. He did not show such an expression even when Xia Yanzhen was at a disadvantage.
But now, Aotian feels like facing a powerful enemy.
About fifty meters in front of him, under a tree, stood an old man with white beard and hair.
This old man was wearing a dirty-looking gray-blue monk's robe. He was not short in stature, but he was relatively plump and rounded, especially his double chin.
"Why do you draw your bow as soon as we meet, Xiao Ao?" The old fat Taoist priest looked at Ao Tian who was facing a formidable enemy and said with a smile.
"Why are you here alone, Jiuxiao!" Aotian asked.
Yes, this fat old man is the famous former number one in the world, Jiuxiao Zhenren.
