Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 4: Terror in the mountains

Views:

The mountain road is not steep, but it is quite difficult to walk because there are weeds and thorns everywhere.

As the forest deepens, the weeds gradually disappear, and the trees on both sides suddenly become denser. Each one is extremely tall, and there are many big trees as thick as a hug. The branches extending from the trees cover the entire trail tightly. , if these branches are not cut off, it will be almost impossible to move forward.

A huge green network is formed between the trees, completely blocking the sun above the head, making it look a bit dark. Only occasionally a few rays of sunlight leak from the sky through the gaps in the green umbrella canopy, forming streaks of mottled light. , walking in it feels like walking in the deep mountains and old forests.

This originally barren hill has now become a paradise for animals. There are insects and birds chirping everywhere. Occasionally, you can see wild animals such as pheasants and rabbits. I don’t know where they come from. Luo Yuan used his hands to Push aside the branches, cut off the thorns on the ground, push them aside, and continue walking forward.

"Dip! After a long period of training, you have mastered the art of swordsmanship."

Luo Yuan perked up. It seemed that the initial sword skill was much easier to master than driving. He opened the attribute panel and saw a sword skill 1 appearing at the end of the skill bar.

He looked at the remaining four skill points, and after thinking about it, he allocated all the skill points to sword skills. The sword skills immediately became five points. If it were in the past, he would never allocate it like this. After all, in modern society , except for being a chef who needs knife skills, he is useless in other places. When it comes to self-protection, his four-point unarmed fighting skills are enough to protect himself.

But the world is changing now, and no one can tell what the future will be like, and with this F+ mission, there may be dangers. At this time, it is very necessary to improve your sword skills.

As soon as he added some skills, an indescribable mysterious feeling rose from his heart, like an enlightenment. Countless phantoms instantly appeared in his brain, but they were blurry. The whole process was fleeting, and he was just in a daze for a moment. He felt that the way he held the knife was extremely twisted, and the muscles in his body seemed very stiff.

He instinctively adjusted his body posture, standing with his feet slightly apart, his body muscles became looser and tighter, and his gestures holding the handle of the knife also changed. As soon as his posture was in tune, he felt relaxed all over his body. He subconsciously swung the knife, and with a flash of light, the leaves in front of him were smashed to pieces.

Huang Jiahui happened to see this scene, covered her mouth and said: "Ronald, have you ever practiced martial arts?"

"Ah, yes, I have practiced some before." Luo Yuan came back to his senses and said smoothly!

"I also practiced Sanda in the police academy, but I didn't practice swordsmanship. The current swordsmanship skills are useless. They can only be used for performances, not actual combat." Wang Fei curled his lips and said, showing off in front of women. It is a man's nature that even if the other person is not the object of his admiration, he does not want to bow down in front of others.

"Is it because I'm dazzled, but I think it's so awesome!" Huang Jiahui saw that scene with her own eyes and naturally didn't believe it.

In fact, with Luo Yuan's agility that is 1.5 times faster than ordinary people, coupled with five points of sword skills, the lethality is already amazing. If a fight breaks out, most people will be hit by the knife before they can even react.

Agile reaction is not about running speed, but the nerve reaction ability. It is 1.5 times more than the average person's nerve reaction ability, which is almost the limit of human beings.

Next, Luo Yuan opened the way much faster. Not only was his way of holding the knife and body posture wrong before, but he only knew how to use brute force when chopping and didn't know how to exert force. Not only was he inefficient, but he also had a lot of physical strength. for consumption.

Chopping, chopping, lifting, whittling, piercing!

The insights in his mind quickly merged, and his sword skills became more and more flexible, almost becoming instinctive.

A yellow-green branch fell from the tree. He didn't even look at it. He lifted it away with a knife. As soon as the knife touched the branch, he felt something was wrong. It seemed a little soft. He took a closer look.

"snake!"

He quickly took a step back, his scalp was numb and his feet were a little weak. This snake was green all over, with a slightly larger head and a triangular shape. The body was slender and its arms were thick and thin, but it was two meters long.

This snake had already been slashed by him and was almost cut in half. Only a thin layer of skin and flesh was left connecting the body. It was twisting violently and rolling on the ground in pain. Its mouth was opened ferociously, revealing two... The translucent fangs kept making hissing sounds.

"What's going on?" Captain Chen saw Luo Yuan stopped, took out his gun, and walked up!

"There was a snake that seemed to be poisonous, but I chopped it with a knife!" Luo Yuan also recovered a little at this time and stepped aside and said.

"A piece of bamboo leaf green, please be careful. If you haven't tightened your trouser legs, tighten your trouser legs quickly." Team Chen used a branch to carry the bamboo leaf green to a distance and said seriously. I was secretly beating the drum in my heart. Bamboo leaves are usually less than one meter long, and I have never seen one that is more than two meters long. Once bitten, the consequences will be disastrous.

Then he looked at Luo Yuan, who was still in shock, and said, "Ronald, are you okay? Do you want to change someone first?"

Luo Yuan glanced at Wang Fei, who had a somewhat withdrawn look on his face, and Zhao Qiang, who was silent and somewhat deformed. After thinking about it for a while, he let it go: "It's okay. It shouldn't matter if you be careful."

Once something happens to one of these policemen, even if he doesn't want to, the search will be over. Without the help and fire support of these policemen, it will obviously be more dangerous for him to search alone. Although he is afraid of snakes, with his current ability and reaction speed, his ability to protect himself is definitely much stronger than ordinary people.

And without the knife, he is even more dangerous!

"Okay!" Captain Chen's gloomy face showed a smile. When Luo Yuan insisted on coming, he was a little unhappy, but now it seems that not only is he not a burden, but he is more useful than everyone else.

"How about I give you the police cap, Ronaldinho, please be careful!" Wang Fei said as if he was a little embarrassed, his eyes slightly averted.

"No need, I heard in the book that most people jump down from trees to attack. In fact, I'm not much more dangerous than you. You have a police hat, which is at least a little safer." Luo Yuan smiled and didn't mind too much. He seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Due to human nature, even he would not have come to this dangerous mountain forest if it was not to complete his mission.

Wang Fei looked ugly and stopped insisting!

Huang Jiahui's face turned even pale after hearing this.

Luo Yuan secretly regretted the situation. It would be bad if they retreated, so he stopped talking and walked forward.

Huang Jiahui, who was walking in the middle, quickened her pace and walked behind Luo Yuan! She had seen Luo Yuan's knife skills, and believed it was no ordinary flower stand. Although she didn't see it clearly at the time, she could only feel that the leaves were shattered as soon as the flowers appeared in front of her eyes. But thinking about it afterwards, I felt even more mysterious about him. She felt that among these people, only being close to Luo Yuan was the safest.

When we got here, there was basically no path, and even the traces of the path were covered up! He can only rely on him to slowly open up a passage.

At this time, a black animal flashed across the jungle. Then he stood in the woods not far away and stared at this group of people coldly.

It was as big as a dog, shaped like a cat, with a smooth body, and its fur was as smooth and soft as silk. Its amber eyes had a cold and cruel luster, and there was still a faint trace of fresh blood in its mouth. Luo Yuan immediately stopped and held the knife across his chest on guard.

"It looks like a leopard." Huang Jiahui carefully approached Luo Yuan and said softly, with a cry in her voice.

Luo Yuan's first impression was that he had encountered a leopard, but then he thought about how there could be a leopard here.

"Bang! Bang!" Everyone's hearts tightened. Team Chen and Zhao Qiang reacted quickly and immediately raised their guns to shoot.

The animal was startled, cried like a baby, and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

"It should be a wild cat, but unfortunately I missed it!" Captain Chen took a look from a distance and saw that there was no blood, and said gloomily: "Everyone, be careful, wild cats are more vengeful, and they may follow!"

"I'm afraid it won't come. I haven't eaten a bobcat before? But this beast looks so much like a leopard. I thought it was a leopard. It scared me." Seeing that it was a wild cat, Wang Fei's face improved a lot. He has an instinctive fear of leopards, the beasts at the top of the food chain, but subconsciously, he is not very afraid of creatures like wild cats.

Just like people are afraid of wolves but not so much dogs. No matter how big or ferocious a dog is, even if it can kill a wolf, its deterrence is far inferior to that of a wolf.

"You must be brave now. Don't be so scared that you wet your pants!" Zhao Qiang said disdainfully. Because his face was swollen, his voice seemed a little distorted.

"It's just a wild cat, what's there to be afraid of!" Wang Fei said loudly, knowing that his performance just now was not very good.

Captain Chen said nothing and looked serious. He is from the older generation. He lived in a nearby village when he was a child. He knows how ferocious wild cats can be. A wild cat as big as this, not to mention a leopard, might be able to fight a tiger. If he didn't have a gun in his hand, he would be stared at by such a creature. It can only be a dead end.

Luo Yuan continued to cut the branches in front of him. The further he moved forward, the denser the woods became, as if they were trying their best to occupy the living space. After more than ten minutes, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he decisively stopped.

He could continue chopping for a while, but exhausting his energy here was undoubtedly a dangerous thing. He didn't dare to do it. He wiped his sweat and was about to turn around and say take a rest. Then he saw a dark shadow flashing in the corner of his eye. He felt a chill in his heart and whispered: "Be careful, that thing is here again, behind you."

Everyone quickly raised their guns and looked around cautiously, but there was no trace of him at all!

"Ronald, did you see it wrong?" Wang Fei raised his gun, turned around and said bravely.

"Be careful!" Captain Chen pulled Wang Fei sharply, shot behind him repeatedly. The bullet whizzed past his ear, bringing out a strong smell of death. Wang Fei's face turned as pale as paper. As soon as his legs went weak, he fell into the nearby thorn bushes, and his face was suddenly scratched with several marks. The blood stains were flowing out.

But no one cared about him at this time.

"Wow!" A shrill scream came from the woods, the trees were violently commotion, and the next moment a black shadow rushed towards Team Chen who was shooting.
