C203 The Mysterious Events in the Back of the Mountain
Lin Mohan continued to ask.
"I don't know. Maybe the situation at the back of the mountain hasn't caught the attention of the military." "Or perhaps, somewhere else in the Dragon Country was something that would make the military even more troublesome. Who knows?"
Ning Lo chuckled and turned around to look at the direction of the back mountain.
In the lush and verdant forest, there seemed to be a breeze blowing. The whimpering sound seemed so out of place in this neon night, yet it also gave people a creepy feeling.
… ….
Walk out of the Jiangcheng University
Ning Lo and Lin Qianxue, along with Mu Yunbing and Lin Mohan, ordered some midnight snacks at the barbecue stand at the entrance. After that, they rushed back to the hotel not far away.
2 AM
A black figure gently pushed open the door to the hotel room and stepped out.
A few minutes later, Ning Lo's figure appeared in front of the iron fence behind the Jiangcheng University Mountain.
In the latter half of the night, the Jiangcheng University had extinguished most of the light and illumination, making the entire night seem tranquil and tranquil.
Other than the occasional whimper from the breeze, there wasn't anything unusual about the rear mountain.
However, at this moment, Ning Lo, who was standing outside the iron fence, was facing the mountain pass at the top of the back mountain. He felt as if there was a ferocious beast that was about to pounce out of the mountain pass.
"Who cares if it's a dragon's lair or a tiger's cave, I'm going to walk up there and see what's going on."
Ning Lo's eyes darkened slightly and he slightly staggered his footsteps. With a light leap, he entered through the gate like a monkey.
Then, with a few flashes, he disappeared into the dilapidated buildings and the dense forest.
Ning Lo followed the path up the mountain. His expression was tense and his five senses were fully spread out. The dagger in his hand was drenched in sweat.
In the past few years, Ning Lo had never been as nervous as he was today.
He remembered that when he and his comrade had been surrounded and faced with life and death, he had not been afraid.
But for some reason, facing the deep and serene mountain pass above them, Ning Lo felt a shiver coming from the depths of his soul, making him feel a chill down his spine.
Unknowingly, Ning Lo felt a voice shouting for him to stop and leave.
But reason and the search for the unknown made him choose to move on.
Ning Lo finally reached the halfway mark after walking for 5 or 6 minutes.
Suddenly, he felt his scalp tingling. His feet stomped on the ground, and his body somersaulted in the air.
Suddenly, two sharp howls were heard from both sides of his body.
In the next second, a cracking sound could be heard, and the two enormous treetops on both sides of the road immediately shattered.
Ning Lo Luo looked carefully and his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
On both sides of the huge tree trunk, a black alloy crossbow was tied to a steel wire.
The alloy crossbow had been cut off from the tree trunk. It was thicker than a thumb and the arrow that was four meters long had completely sunk into the tree trunk. The entire top of the tree had been cut off.
"Fuck, strengthen the crossbow, are we going to f * * king kill someone!?"
"Thank goodness I reacted fast, otherwise I would have worn him out."
Ning Lo was not unfamiliar with this alloy crossbow.
Normally, these crossbows wouldn't be used in this era of firearms, but there were a few special situations that needed to be done.
That was when dealing with Ancient Martial Cultivator and cultivators, and also when dealing with demon beasts with a certain level of cultivation ability.
However, Ning Lo had never seen a demonic beast that had the ability to cultivate before. He had only heard that the old man said that there would be such monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, the Kunlun Realm, and some other unknown places in the ocean.
However, Ning Lo had seen the other way to deal with Ancient Martial Cultivator and the cultivators.
Once a person stepped into the Ancient Martial Arts Stage, they would possess a certain level of perception towards unknown dangers. Especially after entering the Heaven Stage Realm first, their prophetic ability would become even more powerful.
If one wanted to rely on a person to pull the trigger to kill the cultivator, there was a high chance that the cultivator would be able to escape.
However, this type of alloy crossbow set up as a mechanism could avoid such problems.
Due to the fact that no one was involved in triggering the mechanism, it was more difficult for cultivators to sense the danger. Therefore, these alloy crossbows would often have a miraculous effect.
While Ning Lo was still in the army, he had used this type of crossbow on several missions and it worked well.
In fact, he had been ambushed on his last mission and the other side had used a similar crossbow.
In that battle, it was this thing that caused him so much trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to die so easily.
After three years, Ning Lo's feelings were extremely complicated when he saw this thing again.
"The military has even installed this thing. Is it to prevent others from sneaking in?" Or are you afraid of something running away from here? "
Ning Lo squatted down and did not dare to act rashly.
Normally, there would be more than two crossbows arranged by the military. In the depths of the forest, there were probably dozens of these things.
After observing for a while.
Sure enough, Ning Lo saw dozens of these alloy crossbows within a hundred meter radius.
The tip of every crossbow bolt shone with a ghostly blue light. At a glance, one could tell that they had been smeared with poison. If they touched it, they would probably die.
"Phew …" "Thank goodness I'm about to break through to the Xiantian realm. If I had come here a few days ago, I would probably have died."
Ning Lo was secretly glad.
With his current cultivation level, all he needed to do was to be careful and dodge the arrows.
However, if this was half a month ago, when he had just sensed the Dantian Qi, coming here would simply be courting death.
After calming his mood, Ning Lo continued to climb up the mountain.
walk a distance not more than two minutes away
Suddenly, a noise came from above. Ning Lo quickly hid his presence and hid on top of a tree.
In a few seconds
A huge beast with a completely black body jumped out from the dense forest above.
This fierce beast was like an enlarged Northeast Tiger. It landed on the ground with a loud bang and flew into the air.
However, before it could open its mouth to roar, a series of "pu pu pu" sounds of arrows being shot rang out.
The sound of meat entering flesh was heard.
Such a huge beast had been shot to the ground like a hornet's nest before it could even make the slightest sound.
Faint blue blood oozed out of the beast's body.
Just when Ning Lo was surprised that the blood of this ferocious beast was blue.
Behind this ferocious beast, there were several sounds of something tearing through the air.
In the air, three Ancient Martial Arts Stage experts dressed in black clothes quickly landed on the ground, took out the things in their hands, and started to dissect the fierce beasts on the spot.
It was as if they were cutting down a cow. These people were very familiar with this beast and were able to cut it into pieces in a matter of moments.
One of them took the remaining blue blood from the beast and put it into a glass bottle, while the other took out an ice-blue crystal the size of a thumb from the beast's head.
As for the last person, he peeled off the black fur from the beast and cut it into several pieces that hung on his body.
After the three of them finished dealing with the beast, they looked around. Then, they took out a bag of medicine from their bosom and sprinkled it onto the beast's body. The beast instantly turned into a pool of blood.
After waiting until there were no traces left, the three of them reassembled the crossbow and carefully observed their surroundings. They looked at each other for a moment before returning to the mountain pass.
