Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 980 A Cold Arrow

He unconsciously recalled the scene in the beast tide just now in his mind.

It was at the end of the No.12 beast tide, and the boss's blood volume had bottomed out. It stands to reason that the boss would enter a berserk state at this time. Kong Zhe didn't have any helpers around him this time, so the best choice was to avoid it for a while. Fan, wait for its rage to end before harvesting.

However, in order to win the first kill for the last time, or perhaps because of his confidence in his life-saving cards, Kong Zhe still chose a more dangerous close combat.

It's a pity that he still underestimated the final boss. The berserk effect of this boss was actually invincible for a few seconds. As a result, Kong Zhe couldn't use a lot of killing methods, so he couldn't help but miss the kill. He also plunged himself into a great crisis.

However, just when Kong Zhe felt that there was nothing he could do and was about to give up, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from nowhere, and hit the BOSS's knee precisely at a clever angle, borrowing his strength Under the force, the BOSS fell directly to the ground.

And after Kong Zhe was dazed for half a second, he also reacted immediately, and hastily stepped forward to take away the last life of the boss with two swords, and only then did he successfully get the first kill.

After that, Kong Zhe naturally found the cold arrow at the first time, but found that it was just an arrow made by the human army, and there was nothing special about it.

"Is it just an ordinary arrow on the battlefield?"

Kong Zhe muttered to himself, he didn't feel the breath of anyone else around him at that time, and he was surrounded by a fog effect, people from the outside couldn't see what was going on inside. Arrows seem to be explained only by "coincidental flow of arrows".

However, the problem is that this coincidence is too much of a coincidence. How could such a life-saving arrow appear just when he was in the most danger, and it also hit the elk's knee with incomparable accuracy? Such a coincidence How low is the probability of appearing on the battlefield?
What's more, Kong Zhe took a closer look and found that the arrow feathers of this arrow were obviously missing, indicating that it must have flown a considerable distance just now, at least it was shot outside the range of the fog, and the arrow body was hitting the arrow. After hitting the BOSS, I couldn't bear the pressure and broke it directly.It means that the arrow is extremely powerful when it hits, otherwise it would be impossible to break the boss's leg directly.

So the question is, what kind of person can shoot such a powerful arrow from a thousand meters away?At least, Kong Zhe's own cultivation is impossible. Maybe his strength is up to the standard, but this kind of accuracy is only possible for the top shooter.

Therefore, the probability that this arrow is a flow arrow is greatly reduced.However, he is alone in this foreign country, and he is surrounded by competitors. Is there any sharpshooter who will help him?

In short, Kong Zhe was puzzled by this matter, and after thinking about it for a whole night, there was still no result.

Early the next morning, Kong Zhe and Jin Mao received a summons from the palace, inviting them to the celebration banquet.

After tidying up, the two followed the escort out the door.

In front of the gate of the palace, Kong Zhe saw the Bauhinia team after a night's absence.

The five people have all tidied up, even the rough man with a big beard has specially put on a straight suit, tied a bow tie, and even trimmed his messy beard.

Yuzu was still held in Mu Mu's arms at this time, with one arm around her neck, and the other hand holding a bag of snacks, eating happily.

Seeing the red face of the little girl, it seems that she is doing well at Mu Mu's house.

"Hey, Brother Ye, you are...too casual, aren't you?"

Seeing Kong Zhe's arrival, several people came to greet him. The bearded man looked up and down the casual clothes Kong Zhe, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and complain.

In this regard, Kong Zhe just shrugged his shoulders and glanced at them: "It's not that I am casual, but you are too formal? Yo, you don't even cut your beard, do you?"

The five people in front of me are all dressed very formally, not to mention the three men, the two women in the team are wearing elegant dresses, white top hats, and with the faintly exposed calves and fragrant shoulders, they are completely in the same suit. Kong Zhe didn't dare to confirm the dress of the deputy noble lady when he first met the two of them just now. These two are really the two heroines on the battlefield yesterday?

"Hey, this is entering the imperial palace. This may be the only chance for me in this life. Can you make it official?"

The bearded man laughed loudly.

Several people exchanged greetings at the door for a while, and soon a beautiful carriage drove over from a distance and slowly stopped in front of them.

A row of royal guards surrounded the carriage. A court master of ceremonies came over, smiled and saluted Kong Zhe, then turned to Helen and said, "Dear Viscount Helen, the king has orders, please bring your redbud team Go to the palace garden to attend the celebration banquet."

"What? Viscount?"

The bearded man's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Helen in shock: "Captain, when did you become a viscount?"

It was obviously the first time for Helen to hear this kind of address. She covered her mouth in surprise and confirmed, "Viscount, are you referring to me? This, is there something wrong?"

She lives in a slum, and her family can't afford enough to eat. Her dress was borrowed from someone last night after begging for a night. As a result, she is now regarded as a real nobleman. ?

The master of ceremonies obviously expected this situation long ago, and the gentleman smiled and said: "Yes, because Your Excellency Helen led the Bauhinia team to the top of the team list yesterday, and is already a hero of Sheng'an. You have the title of Viscount, and from today you have the status of a nobleman, you can move to live in the noble district, and you can also go to the financial department to receive your noble dividends every month."

"Ah, so..."

Helen was naturally quite happy after hearing this. The first thing she thought of was that the two children in the family would finally no longer have to go hungry, but then she remembered something, and hurriedly looked back at the team members and then at Kong Zhe. Wei Wei said to the master of ceremonies in embarrassment: "Well, that's it. In fact, Brother Ye led our team yesterday. It has nothing to do with me. This title should be given to him..."

"Your Majesty, Viscount, just rest assured that because Mr. Ye Xuan won the top spot in the personal list, he will definitely be rewarded by the king alone." The master of ceremonies seemed to have expected her to ask this question, and reminded him with a smile at this time.

"Oh, all right……"

Helen patted her chest, finally relieved.Although the master of ceremonies did not say what kind of reward Kong Zhe would receive, there is no doubt that if he can be specially arranged by the king to be rewarded alone, it must be at least much bigger than a viscount.

Then, under the leadership of the master of ceremonies, several people got into the spacious carriage and entered the palace all the way.

When they arrived in the garden, the banquet seemed to have already begun. A large table with a length of more than ten meters was placed in the center of the field full of flowers. The table was filled with knives, forks and tableware, and the surroundings were filled with the fragrance of various flowers and plants. , one after another, beautiful maids shuttled among them, placing exquisite food on the dining table one by one.

The goblets contained fine wine, and the silver plates were filled with all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. Under the reflection of the surrounding flowers, the whole banquet scene looked extraordinarily elegant.

Before entering the garden, Kong Zhe found an excuse to leave for a while.

He didn't come here just for a meal.

Of course, the guards of the palace could not let him run around in the palace alone, but obviously, how could a few guards keep up with Kong Zhe's speed, he easily got rid of them just by borrowing a corner.

After Kong Zhe got away, he quickly found a quiet space in the palace. After confirming that there was no one around furtively, he dug out a few needle-like devices from the inventory and placed them on the ground at a certain angle. After placing it well, a magic core was placed in the center to form a simple magic circle, and finally a trace of magic power was input to activate the magic circle.

After doing this, Kong Zhe quickly left the place, and after a few quick jumps, he appeared behind the guards again.

At this moment, several guards were running around anxiously because they had lost Kong Zhe. When they saw him, they felt as if they had met their own father. They held his arm and did not let go.

"Mr. Ye, this is the imperial palace, please don't run around!"

"Hey, don't worry, I understand..."

Kong Zhe smiled casually, and pointed to the way he came: "Okay, I've settled the matter, let's go to the banquet!"

What the guards were destined not to notice was that not long after Kong Zhe left, the magic circle he set up suddenly started crackling and flickering with electric sparks.

Youlan's arc became stronger and higher, and finally condensed into three human figures.

The three figures quickly solidified in the arc, and finally became the three people Kong Zhe was very familiar with.

The dragon holding the staff was the first to walk out of the magic circle, first looked around the surrounding environment, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth: "So that's it, is this the palace of Sheng'an..."

After feeling the magic power around him for a while, he sneered disdainfully: "It is said that a detection enchantment has been launched here. I thought the effect was strong, but it turned out like that?"

"Okay, don't be smug, hurry up and get down to business!"

The one who came out after him was Xiaoyu, who scolded him unceremoniously as soon as he appeared.

"You stinky fox, stop commanding me!"

Long subconsciously refuted.

But Xiaoyu didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, raised her face as soon as she appeared, sniffed in the air, and quickly confirmed a direction.

"I found it, Your Highness is in this direction!"

"Now that you've found it, let's act quickly..."

The last one to walk out of the magic circle was Lan.

She carefully looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, she looked at the two of them, shook her head and said, "After all, this is not our territory, it's better to finish things quickly and leave here."

As she said that, she couldn't help but look back at a roof behind her, but the eaves there were empty.
