Wu Qi lowered his head slightly and admitted frankly that his skills were inferior to others.
There is a limit to the number of times you can actively enter the "super-sensory" state. Each time you use it, you will consume a lot of energy, and you need to recover your energy before you can use it again. Although he relied on entering the "super-sensory" state twice to dodge Harvey's arrows and hit Harvey in turn, his mental capacity had also reached its bottom.
If there is no real battle, then in the third archery confrontation from Donglai, Wu Qifu will definitely lose. So Harvey's line "I didn't shoot in the heart, I lost" is absolutely true.
Wu Qi thought to himself that maybe he should apologize to Mr. Harvey who did not put on any airs and forgave his offense generously and tolerantly.
When it came time to return from the east, the hunters in the hunting team recovered from the shocking episode and continued to complete the routine training as usual.
Wu Qi continued to practice with Laikaon, who simply treated Yidong's wound. Since Wu Qi spent most of his energy on actively entering the super-sensory state twice, in subsequent training sessions, the outcome of the two was almost 50-50. It is difficult for anyone to hit the wrong side with the disappearing arrow.
The training routine ended in the normal passage of time. The hunting party assembled and headed back to camp.
When Wu Qi was having lunch in the restaurant, a person suddenly walked into the seat next to him.
"Boy, I heard that I learned the vanishing archery in just three days, and I defeated Harvey in one round with the wrong arrow?"
Shut up, it's Soru. Wu Qi didn't expect that the news would reach Master Solu's ears so quickly, and 80% of the hunters and logistics staff in the camp would know about it.
"That thing is indeed true. But Wu Qi didn't deny Mr. Harvey's wrong leg at all. Winning that round would be a coincidence. If the wrong arrow continues to go east, the unconscious person lying on the ground will deny him Yes." Wu Qi humbly stated the facts.
Solu laughed and said: "Ha, that's not the case. If Harvey can completely defeat me, a newcomer who has just learned the disappearing archery, then can the position of hunting team leader be changed to another owner?"
In front of Solu, Wu Qi's performance exceeded everyone's expectations. He is a good young man with both talent and foundation, and he is definitely a worthy disciple of his famous craftsman Solu.
"Speaking of which, since I have become the number one person east of Harvey with my disappearing archery skills, should I come to the workshop during the routine training time in the afternoon..." Solu took advantage of Wu Qi's absence. Bei brought up that topic again.
Wu Qi's choice was not rejected. Has he just learned the disappearing archery skill? There is still a lot of room for development in the future. If one day he really can surpass Harvey in disappearing archery, then he doesn't need to practice anymore.
It’s not surprising that Solu got Wu Qi’s answer wrong. After lunch, Solu repeatedly told Wu Qi to come to his workshop on time and learn the skills of a craftsman from him. He asked him to transfer the talent he used to learning archery to shine.
After Wu Qi left the restaurant, he glanced in the direction of the workshop, and Solu's eager words of advice came to mind again, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Others' expectations..."
There was a sudden "shut" sound from the eaves of the restaurant. Wu Qi carried his back to the wrong eaves, faced forward and said coldly: "Xiao Hei, did I follow him again?"
The second-generation surveillance interrogator, whom Wu Qi called "Xiao Hei," kept talking, saying, "Then don't I always know? My duty as an interrogator is to live with me."
The corner of Wu Qi's mouth raised. When he turned around, the sneer turned into a normal smile: "Xiao Hei, I am really glib."
Xiao Hei flapped his wings gently, just like a human waving his legs and arms. It said: "After all, the rightful master is not easy to serve, and I don't want to suddenly follow in the footsteps of my predecessor."
Wu Qi no longer looked at Xiao Hei. He said lightly as he walked: "Then I will work hard."
Wu Qi walked away, and Xiao Hei flew gently to the shadow near the eaves of House No. 5, where he settled down to rest.
One of the best communication crows in the entire intelligence team specially sent by the Star Crow of Xiao Heifou Intelligence Team. Although the first person is very good and is good at concealing the sound, the first person has become a thing of the past forever. When Star Crow once again chose to monitor Wu Qi's messenger crow, it chose a very small number of "little blacks" who were good at speaking fluent human language. They mainly played the card of showing up frontally and being friendly and shutting up, hoping to reduce Wu Qi's wariness.
Facts so far have proven that Xiao Hei, who Wu Qicuo can call at any time and communicate with each other in human language, is not very hostile. He named the messenger crow "Xiao Hei" and acquiesced to the objective nature of being monitored. fact.
On the other side, Xiao Hei can monitor what is happening around Wu Qi at any time. Wu Qi was chosen as an apprentice by the famous craftsman Solu. When he learned the disappearing archery, he reached a height second only to Harvey. All these things were "seen" by it and were simultaneously given to Star Crow.
In this way, a subtle peace is reached between the surveillance and the monitored. Maybe that peace is not stable, but it is still a peace.
... ...
At the time of patrol in the east noon, all the hunters filed out of their respective houses. Before each hunter team set off on their own route, almost all the hunter teams gathered at the entrance of the camp, except for one hunter team that was absent.
Wu Qi stood with his teammates from the Hunter Squad. When it was time to set off, Harvey did not show up.
Normally at that time, the captain of the hunting team would have other agendas, and Lycaon, the second-in-command, would have the power to give orders to the entire hunting team.
"Brothers, there is a special mission for tomorrow's patrol. Yesterday, on the 4th, the hunter team was attacked by the 'Yanmao' while on patrol. The Yanmao escaped before the support network was formed, but Mingyue is very likely to make a comeback and attack. Other hunter teams. If Mingyue's team encounters it while patrolling, they must fire signal arrows as soon as possible! The target of their mission is to capture it!"
Lycaon spoke in a loud voice. He inspected the spirit of the hunter team and then ordered: "The whole team sets off!"
The hunting party split up and left the camp. The patrol routes covered nearly half of the Silver Sand Desert like a net, and the boundaries of the entire network extended straight to the edge of the Silver Sand Desert's territory.
Wu Qi's Leopard Head Team was walking on the same route as yesterday. Wu Qi's Abyss Language has improved as rapidly as his disappearing archery. He can basically understand the conversations between other hunters tomorrow, and will also add a few sentences at the appropriate time.
"Captain, do I think there is a relationship between Yan Mao and Snow Lynx?" Wu Qi said.
Leopard Head thought about it for a while and said without much hesitation: "He personally thinks so. After all, they are all cats, and even the strange animals can't respond to fire and water."
"If they know each other, then they encountered a snow lynx on the patrol route last month, and the battle left measurable and scent traces. Tomorrow the Yanmao will come, and he feels that there is a chance that the lynx will come to them. Come to the door." Wu Qi said simply and clearly.
Is that the most basic analysis, all the hunters understand it, and they all agree with it.
The atmosphere in the team became a little more tense, but not to the point where everyone was at war. Because the closer you get to the edge of the Silver Sand Desert, the flatter the terrain becomes. There were no sand dunes suitable for hiding near the path that the hunter team took. They could see a vast plain at a glance. If a huge Yanmao appeared, they would be able to spot it immediately.
Wu Qi silently calculated the path his team had taken. He had memorized the patrol route from the past two days in his mind. If he went east at that speed, they would patrol to the spot where they encountered the snow lynx in half an hour at most.
Suddenly, Wu Qi's heartbeat sped up inexplicably. The electric sense of danger warning flowed through Wu Qi's limbs and bones, and the intensity was not low.
Wu Qi touched the leg of the leopard-headed captain without leaving a trace, and said in a low voice: "Captain, be careful in front of you."
Hunters always trust their own intuition the most, followed by other people's intuition. Although Captain Leopard Head did not foresee the danger coming, Wu Qi, who had performed amazingly in the afternoon, said "be careful" and he believed it seven points.
"Everyone pretends that nothing has happened and is always on guard against Yan Mao's sneak attacks. Yesterday, Yan Mao carried out a surprise attack."
Just as the hunters responded softly, a fountain of liquid sand with a diameter of 10 meters suddenly erupted from the flat sandy bottom diagonally behind the hunter team! The huge noise and the sudden rise in temperature alarmed the hunters on patrol.
The hunters looked at the place where the Sand Fountain erupted as quickly as possible, and saw a figure about 6 meters tall, whose whole body was burning with golden-red flames, leaping into the air. From its appearance, Huo Huo Dong has an obvious feline figure, but its true face is hidden in the surging waves of blazing fire!
"Then it's a Yanmao?" A hunter shouted in surprise.
"It's very fake!" Another hunter yelled. His first reaction was to pull out the prepared signal arrow, nock the arrow and draw the bow to aim in the air.
Just ask the signal arrow to fly high in the sky, and its bright light will become the most conspicuous fireworks in the dark sky. At that time, all hunters in the hunting team will know the location where the signal is sent, and the hunter teams close to the location where the signal is sent will immediately rush to support!
Arrows shot into the sky with a whoosh, Yan Mao appeared and was caught red-handed, and then the supporting hunter team completed the encirclement.
The plan was supposed to be like this, but what the hunters never expected was that the Yanmao leaping in the sky suddenly released a pair of wings of flame. The signal arrow had just been shot out of the bow, and the Yanmao instantly flapped its wings and spanned a distance of tens of meters. The signal arrow flew straight into the sky and ejected a long column of flames 8 meters away.
The signal arrow was completely burned by Yanmao's burst of flames before it reached a high enough height to send a message. Immediately, the Yanmao flapping its wings in the air 30 meters above the heads of the hunters. It folded its limbs and the temperature of its body soared again. The temperature in the center was directly at 4500 degrees!
The flames that wrapped around Yanmao's body shrank further, and countless golden-red sparks flew out of the flame flow belt, surrounding Yanmao's body at high speed. It was gorgeous and extremely beautiful!
