Chapter 48: Deep in the mountains and old forests, attacking in secret (please read it again, please read it again)

Zhao Ya did not take the main road, but left the city from an extremely secret route.

Zhao Ya knew at least three such routes, all of which were explored by Zhao Ya in secret, in order to prevent any changes in the city from happening and to be able to evacuate the city quickly.

When Zhao Ya climbed out of an inconspicuous gap in the city wall, the sun had risen.

Wu Xiang City is surrounded by mountains, and not far away is the huge Wild Elephant Mountain, where wild beasts are rampant, and even more powerful beasts appear. On weekdays, few people dare to go deep into it except professional hunters.

Zhao Ya did not dare to rush in rashly. He first stepped around the periphery and made a return road sign in a hidden place. Then he packed his bag, covered his face with a scarf, and slowly went deeper.

At the beginning, there was still a road, but as he went deeper, the grass and trees became more and more lush, and in the end, the road could not be seen at all.

Zhao Ya pulled out the short knife, chopped the grass and thorns in front of him, and opened up a path with difficulty.

Although he knew that hunting was a difficult thing, he still didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After walking for so long, Zhao Ya didn't encounter anything except an unlucky hare.

But Zhao Ya was not discouraged.

He didn't imagine that he could return with a full load on his first hunting trip. This time he was more about exploring the road and getting familiar with the environment.

In this way, Zhao Ya walked for more than an hour, and it was not until near noon that he really walked into the interior of Yexiang Mountain.

There are large tracts of primeval forests everywhere here, and it is easy to get lost if you are not careful.

Zhao Ya also became more and more careful, leaving hidden road signs every time he walked a distance.

There were more wild animals here, but most of them took the initiative to avoid Zhao Ya.

For these animals, Zhao Ya's vigorous blood and the short knife in his hand all represent the word danger, so they naturally have to stay away from them.

Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to chase, but took out a notebook from time to time and wrote something on it.

Lunch was a dried earthworm and water. After eating, Zhao Ya prepared to walk a little further and then go home.

Otherwise, he would not be able to leave the Wild Elephant Mountain before the sun sets.

Even though Zhao Ya was already a second-level warrior, he was never willing to spend the night in the wilderness because it was too dangerous.

Zhao Ya suddenly stopped walking because he found that the grass and trees in front of him had been trampled.

The traces were very fresh, and there were also a few drops of blood.

Zhao Ya immediately prepared for defense.

It seemed that it was the traces left by hunters chasing prey. Zhao Ya had encountered hunters entering the mountains along the way, but he avoided them from a distance.

After all, in this deep mountain, no one dared to guarantee whether the other party was good or evil.

Especially when these hunters go out, they are in groups of three or five, and they have extremely rich experience in the wild.

He was alone, and if he met someone with bad intentions, it would be troublesome.

However, this place was deep in the Wild Elephant Mountain, and he didn't expect to meet a hunter. Zhao Ya couldn't help but follow the traces.

He wanted to see if there was any prey worth taking risks in the deep mountains, so that he could prepare for the next time.

After walking more than a mile, the traces became more and more obvious, but Zhao Ya's face suddenly changed.

Because he vaguely heard the sound of fighting in front.

Zhao Ya immediately used his light skills to run towards the source of the sound.

At this time, behind a huge rock a few hundred meters away, three people were besieging a man, and a huge deer was lying on the ground.

These people were all dressed as hunters. The besieged person was already injured, but the machetes in their hands did not show any signs of decline, and even forced the three people to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, the three people simply stopped attacking and adopted a strategy of fighting.

Because they knew that as time went by, the hunter's injuries would become more serious, and it would be easy to deal with him at that time.

Not only that, while fighting, the three men also used words to stimulate the besieged people.

"Niu Yuan, I advise you to save your energy and surrender to us as soon as possible. We can spare your life."

"That's right, if you continue to fight like this, you will definitely die. Why bother for a giant deer?"

The besieged man's face was livid, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Bullshit, I spent many days hunting this giant deer, why should I give it to you?"

"And even if I give it to you, you won't let me go, Deng Daqiang, we are all hunters, do you really think I am a three-year-old child?"

Deng Daqiang laughed, "It's good that you know, it's your greed that makes you want to take this giant deer alone, then it's not our fault that we are cruel."

The three of them continued to fight, not giving Niu Yuan any chance to get close.

Niu Yuan's heart gradually sank.

Because he could feel that his physical strength was declining with the passage of time.

The wound on his back was bleeding constantly, and if it continued like this, he would be exhausted to death by these three people sooner or later.

But Niu Yuan had no way to deal with it.

Because he was in the deep mountains and old forests, force was the fundamental solution to everything.

I can only blame myself for being careless for a moment, and being attacked by Deng Daqiang and his three men. Otherwise, how could they do anything to me?

Niu Yuan gradually fell into despair, and suddenly he stumbled, and the machete in his hand almost fell out of his hand.

Deng Daqiang's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately rushed forward and chopped with his knife.

Niu Yuan was miserable and was ready to die.

At this moment, there was a whoosh, and then an arrow flew through the air and nailed Deng Daqiang's throat.

Deng Daqiang's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

At the same time, a figure jumped out from behind a boulder like a tiger.

The remaining two were flustered by this unexpected change, and they didn't think of counterattacking until the figure got close.

But it was too late, and two knife lights flashed, and the heads of the two flew out.

The corpse fell to the ground.

All these changes happened in a flash.

Niu Yuan was also stunned.

Zhao Ya took off the sleeve arrow nailed to Deng Daqiang's throat calmly, put it in the bag, and then turned around to look at Niu Yuan.

"Are you a hunter in this mountain?"

Niu Yuan finally came to his senses and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Then he looked at Zhao Ya with some fear, not knowing what this warrior who suddenly appeared wanted to do.

In fact, Zhao Ya saw everything that happened just now behind the boulder.

The reason why he took action was certainly not to uphold justice, but he suddenly felt that Niu Yuan was a very suitable candidate.

After all, being able to capture an obviously alienated giant deer in this deep mountain forest shows his superb hunting skills.

And this is exactly what he lacks the most.
