Reddy lay down in the weeds, his whole body was covered with mud, and half of his body sank in the mud, silently watching the barking of dogs and the sound of footsteps not far away.
You have been fleeing for nearly a month, right? I have forgotten what day it is today. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it seems that winter is coming.
Unexpectedly, the hunters who escaped into the swamp of Bailu Lake still refused to give up. Not only did they call in many hounds and hunters who were familiar with the environment, but they also dispatched regular troops, which made Reddy more and more embarrassed and fled. The more difficult it was, the harder it was to even take a rest. Often, the hounds who were being tracked found their whereabouts before they had rested for two hours, so they had to keep on cheering up and fleeing...
Now Reddy finally calmed down and reflected on his previous recklessness and complacency. After the teacher confirmed that his swordsmanship had entered the classroom, Reddy began to feel a little proud, especially when he participated in the Knights Tournament held by the Grand Duke of Fessabrun and won the swordsmanship championship. I became more confident and careless, and no longer took the Golden Knight seriously, thinking that I was almost at the level of a first-level swordsman.
Even though he was hunted down by the Principality of Handela and the Principality of Sabaji, Reddy is still very confident, and there is nothing special about a first-level swordsman. One is not afraid of himself, and no one can do anything to him without hundreds of moves. If there are not two great sword masters chasing him, Reddy would not care at all. Now that I think about it, Reddy feels like the frog in the well that the teacher said. He doesn't know how big the sky is, and he thinks that he is nothing more than a first-level great swordsman. It turned out that when Reddy confronted Sandy Great Swordsman very arrogantly, he realized that , I can't take the opponent's move at all. If it weren't for the big river behind him, the head might have been taken by the great swordsman Sandi.
Reddy's eyes once again appeared the scene of the great sword master Xiandi when he took out his sword. The sword light was as silent as a breeze, like a breeze. The cold stars covered the entire field of vision, just like looking up at the stars in the sky on a summer night, without a trace of murderous intent, I couldn't even raise the thought of vigilance, and when my mind was refreshed and I realized something was wrong, I hurriedly retreated to fight, Lei It was only then that Di realized that he had been hit by the trick, and there were three deep and visible bone-deep sword marks on his left arm, right leg, and chest. Fortunately, he jumped into the water and escaped cleverly, otherwise it would be really difficult to say.
A hateful old woman, she doesn't show any sympathy. When she accompanied Princess Sylvia to the Northland for an envoy, Reddy not only guided them through, but also made tea for them. Knowing that he is Lorist's big disciple, but the great swordsman Sandi is merciless, and he is ruthless when he sees him. He shows that he doesn't care about the face of the Norton family and his scruples towards Lorist. Reddy is very surprised. What exactly did he do to make the Grand Duke Feisabrun want to put himself to death...
Poor Reddy began to recall everything about being chased and killed. Generally speaking, killing a few bosses of the underground gangsters and destroying a few gangster associations would not pay much attention to the local lords. If you come out to control the underground world of the territory, then you will die if you die. At worst, you can change someone to be the boss. Even if you order a wanted manhunt, it is just a show. The black boss was killed because he did too much. It was nothing more than revenge and Vendetta, even the relatives of the nobles in the territory, the lord would not like to take the risk of losing his knights to avenge a black boss.
If it wasn't about the black boss being killed, then there must be something wrong. Reddy finally thought of the emissary who was cut open by him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guy looked familiar. After thinking hard, he finally remembered that during the knight tournament, This guy seemed to be standing beside the Grand Duke Fessabrun. The Grand Duke introduced to Lorist that he was his younger brother's son, who was already a three-star silver star, and that he was the most powerful son of the Fessabrun family after Princess Silvia. I hope to be promoted to the junior of the Golden Knight, but unfortunately I lost to the tiger Ross in the knight's duel and so on...
Reddy finally understood why the Great Swordsman Sandy came to hunt him down. This was a big disaster. Reddy smacked his mouth and thought that he might not be able to travel to other places anymore. If he could escape, it would be best to return to the Northland as soon as possible. The safest thing is to stay by the teacher's side. But the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the three sword wounds on his body that were injured by the great swordsman Sandi, so as not to reveal his whereabouts with blood.
At that time, Reddy was very thankful that he and Lorist had learned the cultivation technique of the Eastern monks, Dan Hai Yin Qi Jue. This training mode, which is completely different from fighting qi training, not only greatly improved his swordsmanship level, but also completely crushed the Golden Knight relying on internal strength. The most important thing is that cultivating the acupoints where the internal force meridians run can temporarily close the wounds you have suffered, preventing yourself from being tracked by the enemy because of bleeding.
When he jumped into the big river and made all the enemies think he would dive to the other side, Reddy stayed there secretly, using the principle of darkness under the lamp to sneak up on the shore, and used the needle and thread he carried to sew up the wound. After taking the medicine and dressing up the healing potion, he turned around and went straight to the swamp area of Bailu Lake. When the enemy found out, when he turned his head, Reddy had bought himself the most critical few days, not only opened the distance, but also let the wound get initial reply.
It’s just that there are too many enemies being chased, and they have also received unconditional support from the villages and towns. After entering the swamp for a few days, the enemies hunting down came with hounds and hunters. Reddy became an escaped rabbit again . In addition, the army from nowhere blocked several highlands and critical intersections in the swamp area, which made Reddy's escape extremely difficult.
Three half-human tall hounds with shiny coats lowered their heads and sniffed the ground and slowly approached the weeds. Beside the hounds were a dozen soldiers and two hunters in variegated leather coats. Soldiers with half shields, four spearmen behind them, and two crossbowmen and three longbowmen behind them. Everyone is vigilant, arrows are always ready to attack...
The three hunting dogs came to a place about three meters away from the weeds. After sniffing the ground for a long time, they raised their heads and barked at the green grassland in the distance. A dozen soldiers said: "You don't need to be nervous, you can take a break, I think the person you are looking for is finished..."
A leading soldier raised his head: "How to say?"
The hunter pointed to the grass: "Our hounds found that the man's smell stopped here. It is very likely that the man has fled into this large grass."
"The order we received was to find his whereabouts. Since he has entered this grassland, we must also go in and search." The leading soldier said.
"I can't get in." The two hunters laughed: "Didn't you hear what I said just now that the person you are going to hunt may be finished? Don't look at this piece of grass growing lush, in fact this is a bottomless abyss. The grass floats on top, no matter who goes in less than ten meters, it will sink until it has no roof, and dies silently under the grass. We all think that this piece of grass grows well because of countless sinking The flesh and blood of the animals below add nutrients to the grass, so we locals call this grass the magic grass swamp... "
"Do you mean that the person we are chasing may have fled into this grassland and sank below?" The soldiers finally relaxed, and no one could stay on alert for a long time. After hearing what the two hunters said, They all put down their shields and crossbows one after another, and then discussed around the grass, and several soldiers lined up along the grass, took out the guys below and started to release water.
A stream of cloudy urine was sprayed less than half a foot away from Reddy, and a few drops of urine splashed on Reddy's face, but Reddy remained motionless. That is the best result in this swamp. After all the pursuers have withdrawn, Reddy can leave the swamp area of Bailu Lake leisurely. It's better to be in hot pursuit.
It's a pity that the good wishes are always destroyed by the cruel reality, and things don't develop as Reddy imagined. I only heard the leading soldier say: "Who of you would like to go back and report our discovery to the great sword masters..."
Another soldier said: "Captain, how do we report when we go back? Just say that the fugitive committed suicide and fell into this magic grass swamp and was finished?"
The older hunter next to him said puzzledly, "Sir, why don't we go back and report together, instead of going back and forth like this? Isn't the matter over?"
The leading soldier sighed, and replied angrily: "Do you think we don't want to go back? It's just that there is an order from above that we must see people and dead bodies. We have to go back and report that the fugitive fell into this area." The swamp is finished, and the people above have to tell us to scoop out the mud in the swamp until we find that person's body. So I can only report, saying that the clues will stop here, and let the people above come to find out by themselves. We are I dare not say that the fugitive fell into the swamp..."
The older hunter scratched his face: "Isn't this a joke? How can you find a corpse if someone falls in it..."
"The people above are likely to burn the grass here with a fire, and then let us take a long pole to fish by the side of the swamp. Generally speaking, even if it sinks to the bottom, it should be near here, and it is impossible for him to escape to the center. Yes." The leading soldier looked at the grass and said.
Reddy took a deep breath, suddenly jumped out of the mud, and rushed into the crowd. In the flickering sword light, figures splashed blood and fell on the muddy ground. Eight soldiers lost their lives in a blink of an eye.
There was a fierce barking sound, and the three hounds rushed over ferociously. Reddy turned around suddenly, split the head of a black hound with a sword, and then inserted the long sword in his hand into the mouth of the second hound until it was submerged. The abandoned sword rolled over, dodging the pounce of the last hound, With a scoop of his right hand, a throwing ax hanging from the waist of a dead soldier fell into his hand, and he slashed on the back of the third hound with his backhand. With trembling limbs, I began to struggle for my life, but I couldn't stand up when I wanted to stand up...
There were four soldiers and two hunters left, and the leading soldier was gathering three men, holding a shield and holding two spears to face Reddy, and the eyes of the four showed panic and despair. As for the two hunters, after letting go of the three hounds, they turned around and ran, and they had already run about ten meters away in the blink of an eye...
Reddy smiled lightly, hooked his feet, and got a longbow and a pot of quiver on the ground in his hands. The leading soldier's eyes tightened, and he shouted: "Everyone, be careful..."
The figure on this side squeezed behind the shield.
Arrow whistles sounded, three times in a row, and two screams came from behind. The leading soldier turned his head and saw the two hunters who had run far away fell to the ground, one with an arrow stuck in his body, and the other with two arrows stuck in his back that ran farther away. Only then did he realize that it wasn't the four of them that Reddy was going to use the longbow to deal with, but the two escaped hunters.
The face of the leading soldier flushed red, nothing can make people more angry than the enemy's contempt. He really wanted to rush out and fight Reddy, but the two screams that seemed to be still echoing in his ears made him suddenly calm down. Obviously, the muddy enemy on the opposite side wanted to keep their entire team...
Covered by the shield, the leading soldier tore off a small bamboo tube tied around his waist and handed it to the back: "Whoever is at the back will light the fire and call the police, and the rest will defend with all my strength, and we will survive until we are rescued... "
Reddy was pulling out his long sword from the mouth of the second hunting dog. He had drawn the bow too fast and too hard just now, and the wound on his chest seemed to be split open again, causing some pain. But this does not prevent me from cleaning up the four miscellaneous soldiers in front of me, and then collect some loot. I haven’t eaten seriously for several days. The last time I ate a poisonous snake with yellow and purple spots, I still ate it raw. The snake gall is very bitter. , I was so hungry that I accidentally broke the snake's gallbladder. As a result, the snake meat was terribly bitter, so I swallowed it raw.
Now even if the dry food for the march is placed in front of him, Reddy will regard it as a delicacy, and now he has nothing but a long sword around him after fleeing, even his clothes are tattered, and his whole body is covered with mud. At night, there are swarms of mosquitoes in the swamp, and one bite is a big bag. If you don’t smear mud on your body, Reddy will be sucked up by the mosquitoes...
The remaining four soldiers in front were huddling together. The front one was a shield, with two spears on both sides. The last soldier didn't know what he was doing, but Reddy was sure he didn't hold a crossbow in his hand. The soldier with the crossbow was the first target I killed. Both crossbows are now on the ground. Maybe the soldier didn't have a weapon. The attack happened very quickly. It's normal to forget to take a weapon when you panic...
But with the sound of "哧啦", Reddy's face changed. This is a special beacon messenger tube made by the Fesabrunn Family's Frontier Ranger Legion. When a small bamboo tube is ignited, a thick black smoke will emerge. Smoke can be seen from miles away. On the vast prairie, this is a must-have item for the scouts of the Border Ranger Legion to send long-distance alarms. I didn't expect that these people who came to hunt me would also be equipped with it.
"Kill!" Reddy yelled angrily and rushed forward, swung away the two snake-like spears on the left and right, stepped on the shield and jumped up, the sword light flashed and the two spearmen spurted blood from their throats Fell to the ground, overturned the shield and slashed backhand. The shield hand discarded the shield and reached out to press the blade protruding from his chest. Trembling, he knelt down slowly on the ground... Reddy drew out the long sword, and only the sword remained in front of him. The pale-faced soldier was holding a bamboo tube emitting black smoke.
"Go to hell." Reddy cut the soldier to death with a sword, but the bamboo tube was still emitting black smoke even though it was broken into two pieces, and there were waves of barking dogs in the distance.
"Day!" Reddy cursed bitterly, and quickly picked up two crossbows and a longbow from the ground, carried two quiver on his back, grabbed a spear, and picked up two bows from the corpse of the soldier on the ground. Pulling off the bags they were carrying with them, after a hasty inspection and selection, they wrapped a bag around their waist, looked up and saw a figure flickering in the distance, and with a chuckle, Reddy turned and rushed down Dirt slope, disappearing into the magic grass swamp...
