The hunting team continued on.
The wind and snow are weakening, and the atmosphere is slightly subtle.
Li Yifeng and Ling Dingyi were naturally elated. Although the two were very reserved, it is not difficult to see the joy of capturing the prey from the light flashing in their eyes.
Wang Xinmai was a little dejected, changed his chattering, and followed Cao Cheng with a cane. If it weren't for his yelling, Cao Cheng's third arrow would definitely have taken the hare.
Cao Cheng looked safe and didn’t feel sorry for not hitting the prey this time. For him, it doesn’t matter whether he can get the prey or not. The important thing is to be with Wang Xinmai, even if he is together. Hungry, he also feels happy.
Lin Wanyu is slightly behind the whole team. Her ankle was hit by a stupid rabbit, and the joints were already swollen. Although it was not so painful that she could not walk, it did affect her not-so-fast speed.
Luo Ye walked behind everyone silently. As a professional killer, he doesn't like the feeling of someone behind him. But since he walked out of the first mountain forest and entered the rocky area, he always had a strange feeling of being stared at.
This feeling is entirely instinctive. If there is no foreseeable instinctive reaction to dangerous things, the life of a killer will be miserable and short. Luo Ye carefully observed the surroundings, not letting go of any factors that might lead to danger.
After walking for another ten minutes, Li Yifeng stopped.
Before Wang Xinmai could react, he bumped his head on Cao Cheng's back, "Why did you stop suddenly?"
Li Yifeng lowered his body, put his index finger to his mouth, and made a "hush" gesture. "Prey." His voice was mixed with the sound of the call sign, and it was so light that it was almost unclear.
Ling Dingyi also lowered his body and looked in the direction Li Yifeng was pointing. In the snowdrift behind the rock, several wild goats are half-squinting to avoid the wind and snow.
Although the sky is very gloomy, the official time is not yet six o'clock in the evening. This should be a good time for the goats to eat grass, but now they can only curl up together to store the necessary physical energy to keep out the cold.
Led by Li Yifeng, a group of people slowly approached the goat herd, and finally stopped behind a large rock less than 100 meters away from the goats.
Wild goats are very alert animals. They are extremely sensitive to smells and sounds. If it is normal, they would definitely be spotted by them at a hundred meters. But today is snowy weather and the light is already dark as late at night. They did not find them in the downwind area Li Yifeng et al.
Li Yifeng tried his best to keep his feet light, so as not to let the snow under his feet make a creaking sound.
He made a cross gesture to Ling Dingyi, and then made a post-circumvention gesture to Cao Cheng—
"What do you mean?" Wang Xinmai asked with a look of confusion.
Li Yifeng covered his mouth, "Be quiet! Do you still want to let the prey slip away like last time?"
Wang Xinmai stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Sorry."
Lin Wanyu on the side could not help but ask in a low voice: "Are these really wild goats?"
Li Yifeng wiped the heavy-duty crossbow with a tarp, and smiled and replied, “It’s a real wild goat, but it’s caught from another place and raised. Not only goats, but also rabbits, deer, and even wild boar. Wild animals bought outside. Of course, some natural enemies, such as wolves and hyenas, have been introduced, but relatively few have been introduced to ensure that artificial hunting will not damage the ecological balance of Nanshan." He wiped the heavy-duty crossbow. Lin Wanyu raised her head in front of her.
Lin Wanyu asked, "What about the snow fox? Is the snow fox also a wild animal bought from outside?"
Li Yifeng lowered his gaze, seeming to be looking for an arrow. After a while, he found the arrow and installed it in a heavy crossbow. Then he looked up at Lin Wanyu and said, "No, Xuehu came by himself."
Lin Wanyu still needs to speak, but Li Yifeng didn't give her a chance to ask questions. Instead, he turned to ask others, "Are you ready to eat lamb?"
Ling Dingyi raised the one-handed light crossbow in his hand and nodded with confidence.
Cao Cheng also put the titanium arrow on the recurve bowstring, his eyes calm and quiet.
"Brother Luo, should you show your knife too?" Li Yifeng asked teasingly.
Luo Ye didn't pay attention to the goat at all. He looked at the darkness in the distance and whispered softly: "It's not yet time."
Li Yifeng smiled silently, no longer talking to Luo Ye, but arched up and moved slowly to the position agreed upon with gestures just now.
After Ling Dingyi and Cao Cheng were in their positions, he turned on the laser sight on the heavy crossbow and shouted: "Shoot!" He said, quickly squeezing the trigger of the crossbow, and the titanium arrow came out, aiming at the goat. The fattest one in the group shoots away.
At the same time, Ling Dingyi and Cao Cheng also shot. Three titanium arrows shot at the sheep almost simultaneously.
The wind and snow slightly affected the aim of the arrow. The arrow that Li Yifeng shot towards the head sheep was distorted by a sudden gust of wind. It did not hit the head of the head sheep. He rubbed the back of the sheep and shot into the rock with a sharp metal impact. sound.
The arrows shot by Ling Dingyi and Cao Cheng were not much better. Although Ling Dingyi’s hand crossbow is fast, the arrow is too short and light. If in normal times, the distance of 100 meters is not a big deal, but now the weather is extremely bad. He has sent more than a dozen in a row, and none of them can. Hit the flock normally.
Cao Cheng also missed the first arrow, but he quickly hit the bow, calculated the deviation of the wind influence, and prepared to shoot the second arrow.
The head sheep struck by the arrow gave a bleat, jumped up violently, stepped on the rock wall, and jumped out of Li Yifeng's field of vision. Hearing the sound, the sheep panicked. Several agile goats followed their heads on the high rocks and quickly disappeared into the snowy night. The remaining few old and weak ones couldn't jump so high, so they could only flee in all directions panicking.
Li Yifeng yelled in annoyance, and hurriedly installed the second arrow. If his first arrow was not aimed at the strong head sheep, he might have wounded other sheep. The shortcoming of the crossbow arrow is that, after a miss, there is almost no chance.
Ling Dingyi's crossbows were all shot out, and he could only watch the sheep flee.
Cao Cheng took the time to pull the bowstring and pointed the titanium arrow in the direction where the flock was fleeing. Wang Xinmai beside him held his breath, looking even more nervous than Cao Cheng.
The titanium arrow shot directly into the goat's right eye with the momentum of destruction. The poor goat shook a few times, then knelt softly on the ground. The other goats stepped on its carcass and dashed away.
Lin Wanyu whispered and couldn't bear to watch the cruel scene. When she turned her head, she found that Luo Ye's brows were very rarely frowned together.
Luo Ye's gaze was not on the goat, but into the empty distance.
"It seems that they have all hit their prey." Lin Wanyu sighed at Luo Ye, "If this continues, we will really be hungry."
Luo Ye didn't seem to hear Lin Wanyu's complaint.
At this time, Li Yifeng and Ling Dingyi walked back side by side, the smiles on their faces were more or less disappointed.
Li Yifeng looked at Wang Xinmai who was dancing in the distance, and smiled helplessly, "This is enough for Maizi to be proud of."
Ling Dingyi sighed, "Sorry, Brother Yifeng, I didn't help with anything."
"It doesn't matter, we still have a rabbit," Li Yifeng elbows Lin Wanyu who is next to him, "Cousin Wanyu and Brother Luo are going to starve tonight."
"I caught a rabbit, but I just happened to lose weight recently." Lin Wanyu said unconvinced.
Luo Ye still didn't speak, and the feeling of being stared at by the enemy became heavier, as if they were the group of goats, and the invisible hunter was holding his weapon and aimed at them.
"We have to leave here." Luo Ye interrupted the conversation between Li Yifeng and Lin Wanyu.
"Leave?" Ling Dingyi pushed his glasses, "Brother Luo, are you kidding me? I just got interested."
Luo Ye said decisively: "Leave."
Lin Wanyu was about to speak when she suddenly saw a strange red light flashing past her eyes.
Luo Ye immediately realized that it was the ray of a laser sight—in the dark, a master lurking tracker was preparing to kill!
He yelled without warning, trying to distract the killer, and at the same time pushed Lin Wanyu to the ground with great strength, even Li Yifeng beside Lin Wanyu fell along with him.
At the same time as everyone exclaimed, a bright silver titanium arrow whizzed up and plunged into the rock behind everyone.
"Find the stones and hide!" Luo Ye shouted loudly: "Protect Wan Yu!"
Li Yifeng and the others just woke up like a dream, hiding behind a small rock like a frightened sheep. Li Yifeng grasped Lin Wanyu's hand tightly, revealing his true feelings in times of crisis, for fear that the killer would shoot his cousin.
Although Lin Wanyu was frightened, it was not the first time that she faced a killer, and her mood was fairly stable. In addition, she heard Luo Ye call her "Wan Yu" for the first time instead of "fish bowl".
Li Yifeng shouted into the distance: "No matter who you are instructed by, I can give you double the commission! Please don't hurt my cousin!"
Lin Wanyu shook Li Yifeng's hand gratefully, "Thank you, cousin Yifeng."
"boom!"
The killer concealed in the dark responded with a titanium arrow. The sharp arrow shot through the rock and it was inserted between Li Yifeng and Lin Wanyu.
Li Yifeng took a deep breath, "This, this turned out to be the arrow of Nanshan Manor..."
Ling Dingyi quickly installed the crossbow arrows for the one-handed crossbow, "This stone is too small, I will cover you, you run behind that big rock!"
Li Yifeng nodded, and just about to get up, he heard Luo Ye shouting: "Don't move! The other party has been specially trained!"
Li Yifeng quickly lowered his body.
Luo Ye whispered: "Peter Ma, help me analyze the exact location of the killer according to the direction of the arrow..." When he spoke, the hunting knife had quietly appeared in his hand.
He was struggling to find the man behind the scenes who wanted to seize the top-secret information. It was easier now—
There is a way to heaven, but no way to hell, come on!
