Chapter 294
But after a while, all the prey in the center of the hunting ground were slaughtered, and the rest hid. Everyone gradually slowed down to look for new prey, and Ye Zhaoyan was no exception.

There are already quite a few of these prey, at least they can win her a top ten ranking.

As she was thinking, she suddenly heard a noise, and she couldn't help turning her head to look, only to see a red figure flickering in the woods in the distance.

She frowned and walked on.I vaguely heard the voice of a girl screaming and crying, and was surprised, so I stopped and listened.

The cries of the girls were louder.

"Wow—help! Woo—who will save us! Woo—"

Ye Zhaoyan tied the horse under a tree not far away, flipped onto the tree lightly, and finally saw clearly what was going on inside. He saw that there were two women who had fallen into the trap on the ground. Pretend, who is it if it's not Zhang Qilan.She was crouching by the earth wall at this moment, her cheeks were flushed, and she was obviously struggling desperately to get out, but it was of no avail.The other woman was petite and was wearing a blue skirt. She was curling up on the ground with her legs crossed and weeping bitterly. Her face was pale and her whole body was trembling. It seemed that she couldn't last long.

Not far from the feet of the two of them, there were several barb-like iron tools, and there were a few traces of blood stained on the ground.

Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows. It seems that Zhang Qilan has stepped into a trap. It's really strange. The hole is so deep. Even if there is no barb trap, the two of them can't get out. Why did the person who set the trap hurt the prey? , wouldn't it be superfluous?
What made her even more puzzled was that Zhang Qilan was desperately trying to get out, could there be something strange in the trap?
As soon as this idea came to her mind, she found a bamboo cage that was tumbling around in the hole, and there seemed to be living things struggling vigorously inside, as if they were going to toss the bamboo cage and run out in the next second.

There is no doubt that there is a long snake in the bamboo cage.

Ye Zhaoyan suddenly thought of the clothes Zhang Qilan was wearing earlier, maybe this trap was set for her?

After hesitating for a moment, she slowly pulled out the bow and arrow on her back, aimed at the poisonous snake that was about to jump out, pulled the string without hesitation, and let go of the arrow.

With a sound of "嗖", the sharp arrow pierced the air, brought a whistling sound, and shot straight at the seven inches of the poisonous snake. The snake that was struggling and neighing suddenly stiffened, with its tail still standing upright. Shaking around, but there was no reaction at all.

All this was only a few breaths away. Ye Zhaoyan was just about to go down the tree to dig a hole for insight, when another group of people appeared. These people were dressed in strong clothes, with swords hanging from their waists. They looked majestic, and their goal seemed to be aimed at that Trap and potholes to go for.

Ye Zhaoyan frowned slightly.

These people rushed to the trap and did not immediately go down to rescue them. Instead, they got off their horses and observed the two women in the pit. After seeing the people inside, they seemed a little surprised, "Which family are you from? Why are you wearing such a color?" clothes?"

The hope on Zhang Qilan's face froze in an instant, and she faltered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Is there anyone else wearing begonia color?" The leading man asked the people beside him.

"Never." One person replied quickly.

"Where did this arrow come from?" Someone finally found the arrow on the bamboo cage. The long snake inside was limp and had died not long ago. It looked very suspicious.

Ye Zhaoyan felt something was wrong when he heard the words, so he quickly picked up his bow and arrow, and circled around to avoid these people.

"There was a suspicious man shooting arrows here just now!" Zhang Qilan's voice came from afar, and she gasped for breath, obviously knowing that the person who just shot arrows was in this forest.The man who shot the arrow secretly must have evil intentions.

"Who? Dare to trespass on the hunting ground!" One of the men shouted, "Get out and catch him without a fight?!"

When Ye Zhaoyan heard the violent drinking, he gave up the idea of ​​turning around and running away. There were quiet trees all around, and it was easy to make movement even if he performed light kung fu.Moreover, that group of people seemed to have extraordinary skills, if they ran away rashly, they might be doomed...

Her heart sank, and she stayed quietly behind a short tree, covering herself with the tall and lush branches and leaves, hoping that the group of people would not find her.

But obviously Zhang Qilan didn't want her to escape easily, she believed that the purpose of the person who shot the arrow secretly just now was not pure, so she kept pointing the direction of the arrow to several men, convincingly that there was an assassin hidden in the forest.

Ye Zhaoyan was paying attention to their movements when an arrow suddenly pierced through the air and shot fiercely at the bay red horse not far away from her. He jumped out, landed on the ground, frantically dashed with his tail, but was restrained by the reins and could do nothing.

Ye Zhaoyan gasped, the other party obviously believed that she was in the forest, waiting for her to show her flaws.

Although this horse looked ordinary, it was a war horse specially selected by Ye Zhengping from the barracks for her, and it had been raised in Ye Mansion for a long time.

Yaoyue has a docile personality, is extremely resistant to cold and heat, and has a more stable temperament than ordinary horses. Usually, she only needs to sit on the horseback without controlling the reins at all, and she has never made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, Yaoyue was shot and wounded, Ye Zhaoyan was anxious in his heart, several arrows shot out, one of them was heading in her direction.

Ye Zhaoyan was caught off guard, and turned sideways in a hurry, barely avoiding being injured by the arrow, but still scratched his arm. Blood gushed out from his arm, dripped down the arm onto the grass, and was soon overwhelmed by the messy grass.

Over there, Zhang Qilan had already been rescued by the older middle-aged man, she didn't bother to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and stared around vigilantly, fearing that something might happen again.

"Miss Zhang, what's the matter with your clothes?" The middle-aged man asked sternly.

When Ye Zhaoyan, who was hiding behind the tree, heard this, she was even more convinced of what she was thinking. It seemed that those people were targeting her, and it was Zhang Qilan who suffered all this on her behalf.

Those people must have discovered that the woman in the red dress of Begonia was coming to this area, so they set up a trap on the only way they must pass.

And it's easy to trap ordinary women in this trap, but it's just that Ye Zhaoyan, who has martial arts skills, can't do anything about it.That's why there are barbs on the ground, trying to trap those who fall into the trap.

Ye Zhaoyan even suspected that the barb was smeared with drugs that would make people lose their internal strength.

Zhang Qilan suddenly heard the stern questioning, she was so frightened that she opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she didn't tell the truth.Thinking of what Ye Zhaoyan said before leaving, she always felt that something was wrong.If you really committed a crime because of exchanging clothes, the gain outweighs the loss.

After a while, her eyes were slightly red, and she whispered, "I'm going to change clothes."

After speaking, he pulled another woman and turned around and walked towards the horse.

The two fell into a pothole, and now they are in a mess. It would be a joke to stay any longer, so it is better to leave earlier.

The middle-aged man sneered and winked at his companion beside him.

"Miss Zhang, you are in such a hurry, are you guilty of a guilty conscience?" A person suddenly stopped in front of the two, "If you don't explain clearly, don't blame us for being merciless."

Several other people drew their knives one after another, and the blades reflected the dazzling light under the sun, making one's heart chill.

"What are you doing?!" The two shouted in panic.
