Without any hesitation, Chu Yao held up the sword flower with the long sword in her hand, did not dodge or dodge, and went up to meet it!
The next moment, the sharp arrow pierced through the head of a bat fiercely, with a pungent bloody smell and a fierce wind, rubbing Chu Yao's ear, and then a person behind him "ah" a scream!
The strength of the long arrow was terrifying, and it directly penetrated the head of the person who wanted to sneak attack.
The fallen bat revealed the boy's face, black hair fluttering, red hair flying, the bowstring in his hand still trembled after the arrow, and his eyes were dark and smooth. Chu Yao didn't look at the people behind her, she just took a flash step, the long sword in her hand was like a swath of autumn water, and the tip of the sword swept away, killing a row of giant bats flying towards Xia Ge!
In an instant, the corpses were flying, and the blood was dripping. Chu Yao protected the boy in her arms, and the blue clothes were stained with blood, she whispered.
"Good arrow."
Xia Ge was in her arms and murmured, "I seem to have... killed someone."
Feeling the slight trembling of the young man in his arms, Chu Yao whispered, "No."
She stuffed the wild goose in her hand into Xia Ge, and said, "You just hit a wild goose."
Paused.
"We're going to eat tonight."

This mighty giant bat attack obviously alarmed Sanfeng, and the three peaks dispatched collectively, arranging troops, and quickly quelled the vicious giant bat attack.
Jianfeng's disciples found a human corpse whose forehead was pierced by a feather arrow among the corpses of bats.
He was a young man in his twenties. He was dressed in black and hooded. His arrows pierced through his eyebrows. He killed him with one blow.
"This is Jianfeng's Feather Arrow... Have you found out who did it?"
Chang Lan looked at the corpse and felt pain in the temples.
Next to him is disciple Nuonuo: "...No."
Chang Lan rubbed her temples and decided to ask for Lin Feng's opinion: "... What do you think about Junior Sister?"
Gu Peijiu looked at the corpse below with no expression on her face, after a while.
She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the scenery outside the window, "I don't know."
Chang Lan: "Brother Baili?"
Bailiqing squatted down, turned over the hand of the man below, and then lost some spiritual power, and said after a while, "This is an orc tamer."
"He should have wanted to keep a large number of giant bats for his own use." Bailiqing pondered for a while, and slowly peeled off the mask of the people below, "As a result, there was no way to supply the aura of the rearing, which caused the giant bat to attack the master and let the master Drive it to Lingxi Mountain, which is full of spiritual energy."
After the mask was peeled off, that face was revealed, Rao is Chang Lan, and he couldn't help but gasped slightly. Although Bailiqing was already prepared, he couldn't help being a little shocked when he saw this.
I saw the man in black with blue veins on his face, his cheeks shriveled, like a zombie that was sucked dry by something, extremely terrifying.
Chang Lan pondered for a while, "That's what Brother Baili meant... That is to say, it has little to do with the Demon Sect?"
Bailiqing shook his head and covered the faces of the people under him with a black scarf, "I can't guarantee this, but in general, demonic puppets are used when the demons are dispatched..."
Chang Lan said: "It cannot be ruled out that this person was used by the demon sect."
Bailiqing nodded, "It's possible."
Chang Lan sighed, "The top priority is to hurry up and find out the owner of this arrow first and ask about the situation at the time, so as to prescribe the right medicine."
Bailiqing said, "The spies of the demon sect have not yet been found out, and it is not ruled out that the spies of the demon sect here are trying to silence them."
Gu Peijiu suddenly said: "The situation at that time may have been the disciple's self-defense."
Chang Lan said: "It's better to find out the person first, and then make a conclusion."

Jianfeng is a small remote cave.
Xia Ge and Chu Yao were squatting outside the cave, next to a jar of bamboo leaf green, with two persimmons on the bamboo leaf green, bows and arrows were placed in the cave wall, and there was a clear mountain stream not far away, gurgling down.
Xia Ge put up the grill: "This is a good place."
Chu Yao was sitting on the side, plucking the goose without saying a word.
Xia Ge said, "Are you angry?"
Chu Yao finished plucking all the wild goose's hair. She was bald. She was about to go to the stream to wash. Xia Ge said "hey", "Wait."
Chu Yao turned back, Xia Ge rubbed her hands and pointed to the side: "... These are two pheasants."
Two colorful crooked-necked pheasants were lying on the side, their heads seemed to have been hit by small stones, and their flesh was blurred.
Chu Yao: "..."
I was just plucking the hairs while thinking about things, I didn't notice when this kid hit two pheasants with stones again.
When Chu Yao came back, she wanted to bring back the two chickens and pull them together. Xia Ge said "hey", "Give me one, and I will too."
Chu Yao didn't argue, she would give it to her if she wanted.
The two squatted by the creek and plucked chicken feathers together.
Xia Ge pinched the colorful tail feathers of the pheasant, "These feathers are so pretty."
Seeing that Chu Yao didn't speak, she just lowered her head and plucked the feathers. Xia Ge was helpless. She rolled her eyes and quietly stretched out the feathers, scratching the girl's fair face.
"Hey." When her cheeks itch, Chu Yao was caught off guard, "What are you doing?"
Xia Ge: "Why don't you speak?"
Chu Yao paused, "tsk", "You have to concentrate on things."
Xia Ge: "Do you think I'm stupid? I can't tell when people don't talk when they're angry and don't focus on talking."
She paused, "Why are you angry?"
Chu Yao plucked off the last hair, picked up Xia Gepu's scattered pheasants, and said in a low voice, "You can't control it."
Xia Ge: "… "
Xia Ge patted the chicken feathers on his body and stood up: "I know why you are angry."
Chu Yao said, "I'm not angry."
Xia Ge looked at her, "Are you mad at me for saving you?"
Chu Yao: "..."
After a long time, Chu Yao finished pulling the pheasant silently, just when Xia Ge felt that the other party would not answer, she spoke.
"I'm not mad at you."
Chu Yao raised her head, her light brown eyes had a depth that Xia Ge had never seen before.
"I even think that your arrow is very beautiful."
Chu Yao got up, cleaned the two pheasants and the geese, walked back to the grill, and set up a fire. It was already dark, and the bonfire slowly grew stronger. She put on the pheasants and geese and sprinkled a little seasoning.
Xia Ge followed, and the two sat facing each other.
Hearing this, Xia Ge was confused, "Then you..."
Chu Yao's light brown eyes reflected the jumping flames, and after a while, she whispered.
"I just think, I shouldn't let you now..."
So early, pick up the bow of murder.
Chu Yao didn't say anything later, she was silent for a while, "I'm just mad at myself."
This child, at that time, was afraid.
She could feel it.
Even if nothing happened now, but... I am still afraid.
Xia Ge held the persimmon and said, "You are so strange."
Chu Yao looked at her.
Xia Ge threw her a persimmon, and Chu Yao caught it with one hand.
Xia Ge said: "It was obviously my choice, why are you angry with yourself?"
Chu Yao looked at the persimmon in her hand, "At that time, you were afraid."
The night was warm, the flames were extinguished, the aroma of cumin and meat were mixed together, Xia Ge took a bite of the persimmon, "I am afraid of many things in this world, I am afraid of ghosts, afraid of starvation, afraid of death, afraid of..."
She counted with her fingers, "Hey, it's too many to count."
Chu Yao looked at her, and the light brown eyes reflected the bright and extinguishing fire.
"But there are many things in the world, can you not do it if you are afraid?"
"So what if I'm afraid."
She stared at the wild goose who was gently licked by the tongue of fire, "At least, you don't regret doing it."
"And I'm... very happy." Xia Ge raised his eyes and looked at her, "I'm very happy, you can trust me."
When her arrow was fired, Chu Yao didn't dodge or dodge. Even though she pointed the arrow at her, she still went in her direction and went her own way.
It's like the kind of trust that entrusts her life to her.
"I trust you because my intuition has always been accurate." Chu Yao said, "If I don't think you can do it, you definitely won't do it."
Xia Ge was silent for a while: "...You think I can't do anything?"
Chu Yao fell into deep thought, "I don't know."
Xia Ge held his forehead: "Hey!"
"But what happened just now, we just ran away like this, is it really okay?" Xia Ge thought of the giant bat just now, and he was a little worried.
Chu Yao said: "It's okay, I'll go back and tell them that the arrow was fired by me."
Xia Ge: "… "
Chu Yao said, "This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. Quan should be thankful for that arrow just now."
That being said, I still feel a little embarrassed.
"Oh, what are you talking about, it's time to eat, I'm starving to death."
As soon as Xia Ge was embarrassed, she wanted to change the subject. She stared at the wild goose and quietly stretched out her paw, but was snapped by Chu Yao, "I'm not familiar with it, why are you in a hurry."
Xia Ge: "… "
After finally waiting for the meat to be cooked, Chu Yao gave Dayan to Xia Ge, but she didn't move.
Xia Ge took the wild goose and took a bite.
The outer skin was roasted and crispy, but the meat inside was soft and tender, accompanied by the fragrance of cumin and sauce, so delicious that Xia Ge almost bit his tongue off, and tears fell in an instant.
She hasn't eaten something so delicious in a long time! !
So fucking delicious! ! Kneel down!
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Xia Ge take a bite, Chu Yao burst into tears, suddenly startled, "It's unpalatable?"
No, it's not bad, it's delicious! Delicious, speechless, delicious!
Xia Ge: "woo woo woo..."
Chu Yao's head was a little big in an instant: "Why are you crying? Is it delicious or not? I haven't..." Baked.
"Don't cry for Lao Tzu, don't eat it, I'll go pick persimmons for you..."
Xia Ge nibbled while waving his hand: "Uuuuuuuuuu-"
"It's so delicious!! Lord Chu!"
Chu Yao: "..."
Xia Ge nibbled at the wild goose: "Master Chu eats pheasant, it's super delicious!"
"I specially called Master Chu!"
Chu Yao: "...don't call me Master Chu."
Xia Ge: "But everyone calls you like that."
Chu Yao took a bite of the persimmon and thought about it: "You can call me Senior Sister Chu."
Xia Ge was as good as he was, and the goose in his hand was gnawed into a skeleton. Then he looked at the pheasant with crispy skin and tender meat under the fire tongue, and his claws were about to move: "Senior Sister Chu doesn't eat pheasant?"
Chu Yao shook her head with the persimmon: "You have eaten it all, I'm not hungry."
Xia Ge held one in each hand, pretending to be shy: "Hey, how embarrassing that is."
Chu Yao: "..."
The starry sky is bright and the night is soft.
Seeing Xia Ge eating happily, Chu Yao felt inexplicably happy, but there were some things that still had to be asked.
"Xia Wuyin."
Xia Ge is nibbling on the thigh of the last pheasant, the skin is crispy and the meat is soft and delicious: "Huh?"
Chu Yao slowly took out the small black puppet fragments that were messed up, but the prototype could be vaguely seen. She looked at her and said softly, "This, do you know it?"
Xia Ge's hand holding the pheasant's thigh stiffened for a moment.
You can dodge the first day of the new year but not the fifteenth day, so... Are you still here
