Chapter 495 Lack of Confidence (Part [-])
The wind is howling again, but there is no one's silence.

The man didn't dare to move again, and suddenly felt that he had changed from a hunter who was observing the prey in the dark to a prey.

At this time, his scalp suddenly went numb, and the sharp sense of fear made him back subconsciously. Hearing the sound of howling strong wind, there was a sharp pain in his right wrist.

The line between life and death has never been so obvious.

The man's mind was blank, he just waited for the sharp edge to strike, and at the very moment, a loud shout sounded from the darkness behind him: "Shen Lie?!"

The dagger approaching the man's heart suddenly stopped.

The man also woke up, and immediately raised his hand to fight back. The girl avoided it very quickly with a strange skill, and then attacked again.

This time quickly and neatly, without any hesitation.

But hearing a very light tearing sound, the man's tall body froze, the cold blade pierced through the clothes, pierced the flesh and blood, and went straight into the heart.

The pain in his chest didn't hit so quickly, he immediately gritted his teeth and went to grab the girl, but the girl stole the gap. When he came to us, she pushed the dagger a few inches into his body, piercing his back.

The heart was torn open with sharp blades, the man was in so much pain that he lowered his head in astonishment, although he opened his eyes as if he were blind in the darkness, he seemed to be able to see hot blood gushing out of his body.

"Master, master..." the man whispered, his voice trembling, "Master!"

His feet were weak, and his huge body hit the ground straight.

Xia Zhaoyi leaned over and pulled out the dagger, and looked up at the source of the voice just now.

The visitor didn't approach, and said in a deep voice, "Did you kill him?"

The voice of this sentence is calm, steady, calm, about thirty years old.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't make a sound, because there was more than one person on the other side, and she heard more than one footstep.

"It's really Shen Lie?" the visitor said again.

The open space was vast and the wind was howling. He and the two subordinates beside him clenched their weapons tightly, full of vigilance.

"Yes, it's a girl..." the man on the ground said with his last breath.

The blood in his chest surged up and flowed out of his mouth, making his speech slurred, and the wind was so strong that it shattered his voice, and the person he called his master couldn't distinguish what he said.

Looking at the source of the voice of his men uttering words, the visitor looked serious.

It is impossible to know whether the other party is Shen Lie, but it is definitely not a kind person.

Although Gao Ci's skill was not perfect, he was not weak either. He was the first to sneak attack, but was killed by the opponent in one blow in the dark. The opponent's ability should not be underestimated.

After a long time, there was no reply, and the person who came said: "Shen Lie?"

"Do you know Shen Lie?" A voice finally came from the darkness.

As soon as the voice sounded, everyone who came was startled.

It's a woman, to be precise, it's still a child's voice, not counting girls, her tone is equally flat, without waves, and her voice echoes in the open space, crisp and delicate, ethereal like dewdrops falling on bamboo leaves in a valley.

"Who are you?" the visitor asked.

"Who are you?"

The visitor closed his eyes, silently supported the wrists of the subordinates on both sides, aimed the crossbow in their hands at the source of the sound, and at the same time continued to speak in a calm tone: "Are you the secret guard trained by the Shen brothers?"

"No."

"Then, who are you?" The visitor said, "Now, listen carefully, if you are not one of them, then we might as well..."

The voice stopped suddenly, and four crossbow arrows were shot out quickly, and at the same time, the second wave of crossbow arrows was loaded and shot again.

Several shots in a row without stopping, the distance between the two sides was about [-] feet, and the arrows flying away caused a "swish" sound of breaking wind in the air until the last arrow was shot.

The space became quiet, even the sound of the wind seemed to quiet down.

It can be perceived that all these arrows have failed.

The two men couldn't believe it.

The arrows are dense, and they suddenly shot when they deliberately spoke to try to distract the opponent's vigilance, if they all shot empty...

They turned to look at the man.

You can't see anything in the dark, but it's not hard to guess the man's expression at this time.

"Go." The man suddenly said in a deep voice, turned around and walked back.

The two subordinates were slightly stunned.

"Master..." said one of his subordinates.

It's not like a man's style.

The man didn't make a sound, his expression was stern, and he walked back.

The two men had no choice but to turn around and follow.

Xia Zhaoyi had already moved away and retreated to the steps.

The movements of those people were so slight that she couldn't judge whether they had left or not.

After waiting for a long time, Xia Zhaoyi took out the torch again and lit the small oil ball lamp.

Those people had already left, and the person she killed was far away from her, and in the middle of them, many arrows were scattered in a large area.

Xia Zhaoyi walked quickly towards the corpse.

Those people will definitely come back, judging by their actions, it seems that they are an organization that has been here all year round, and now they have not taken away the corpses of their companions, perhaps because they are afraid.

Not afraid of her, but afraid that there are other people behind her.

It's like crossing a pond, activating the mechanism, crossing a trestle bridge, and even cutting off such a difficult bridge cable.

Although this group of people were hiding in the dark, they obviously lacked confidence and did not dare to confront them head-on.

Xia Zhaoyi squatted down next to the corpse, under the small oil ball lamp, the man was about thirty, his complexion was extremely unnatural, very similar to the pale complexion of Shen Shen who had been ill for a long time.

He is wearing a brown cotton gown with huge sleeves. The style is similar to the continuation of the front court. The fabric is thick and dense.

Xia Zhaoyi stretched out his hand to check, there was nothing on his body, except for the fire zip and flint, and the quiver on his waist, not even a dagger.

Without staying longer, Xia Zhaoyi took down the man's empty quiver, carried it on his back, sifted through the arrows on the ground, picked up the intact ones, and picked up the man's crossbow.

The crossbow was very heavy, so she carried it in her arms and walked down. After going down the steps, she went back to the underground hole she had seen before, and placed the crossbow beside the hole.

The white bones beat each other under the entrance of the cave, the sound is clear and clear, and the fragrance of peony flowers under the moon is bursting, strong and flourishing.

Xia Zhaoyi held on to the small oil ball lamp and got up, looking at the tall stone steps she descended in the darkness.

I am really curious about the above, but it is not appropriate to investigate now, because Aunt Tong Rou said that she will go back before the master returns.

Another gust of wind came, carrying a large amount of water mist, like a flood, swallowing the wild.

Xia Zhaoyi turned around and walked towards the water bank, stopping beside the water stains on the bank.

Under the ground where she was standing was an empty bone drying field, and it was extremely unlikely that there would be a mechanism. Therefore, the mechanism might have been triggered on the lake that was still shallow at that time when the person ran past.

The pool is full of water, and the oil lamp balls fall on the lake surface. If the still shadow sinks into the jade, the water surface is clear and shallow, and you can't see it deeper under the water.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked away.

He paused when he turned around, and looked towards the pool again, his eyes fell on a light and shadow under the pool.

Is it... light?
