Origin

Two snipers? It shouldn't be! Because the spiritual energy stored in the little wizard's staff is not enough to teleport two people.

But there is only one sniper, why shoot from two different areas in the city and outside the city? You must know that even the gates of the mountain city will be closed at night, and there are guards patrolling and guarding the city walls. It is impossible for snipers to have high spiritual energy cultivation, and it is almost impossible to climb over the wall to enter and exit.

"Is there a secret passage outside the city?" Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan shook his head, "There are a few secret rooms, but there are no secret passages, let alone secret passages leading outside the city."

"Are you sure?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I'm sure," Jiang Nan nodded sternly, "Absolutely not. If there is, I can't possibly not know about it. Besides, the secret passage is useless. Once the exit is discovered by a thief, wouldn't it become a thief's passage?"

"But judging from the head trauma of these people, they were clearly shot by concealed weapons from both inside and outside the city." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Jiang Nan did not answer. She knew nothing about firearms. The power and range of this hidden weapon were far beyond her knowledge and understanding.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and pondered. From a scientific point of view, anything that is not in line with common sense has a reasonable explanation. First of all, it can be determined that the staff held by the hostile force is not enough to teleport two people back, and then one person has to be explained. Why shooting can be carried out in different areas inside and outside the city, there is really no other reasonable explanation except the secret passage.

But Jiang Nan was very sure that there was no passage from the city to the outside of the city. This was the problem. In fact, there was probably a secret passage from the city to the outside of the city, but Jiang Nan didn't know it.

Thinking about it from another angle, not only Jiang Nan, but everyone including Jiang Zheng did not know the existence of such a secret passage. If they knew the existence of this secret passage, snipers would not dare to choose this secret passage to travel back and forth. In and out.

But it is unrealistic for snipers to temporarily dig such a passage. This passage should have existed originally. The sniper discovered and used this passage by accident.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered something, "Where is the boss now?"

Jiang Nan didn't know why and looked at him with a frown, "Who is the boss?"

"It was the armadillo that sneaked into the bathroom and tried to steal your Luanfeng Sword." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Now we are working hard to dig holes in Yanshan." Jiang Nan said.

"Back then, it sneaked into the city with Lao Er.

It is very likely that a passage was dug. The murderer must have discovered and used the abandoned passage. There is a bear now. It is much closer to Yanshan from here than to the bear. You immediately send someone to kill the armadillo. Bring here. "Wu Zhongyuan said.

Jiang Dahua took over from the side and said, "I'll go and I'll be back in an hour."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Sneak under the tree, climb over the ridge to the south, and then take off."

Jiang Dahua nodded in agreement, turned and left.

Watching Jiang Dahua go away, Jiang Nan withdrew his gaze and said, "If there is really a secret passage, the assassin is no longer in the city at this time, and our search in the city is in vain."

"There should be a secret passage, otherwise this person would not be able to come in and out freely." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"The surrounding mountains and fields have not been burned. If the murderer has left the city, your situation will be very dangerous." Jiang Nan looked around cautiously.

Wu Zhongyuan smiled bitterly and said nothing. It felt very bad to be a coward, but snipers are really scary. They can kill people from far away. The consequences of rash actions are death. You must know that snipers do not hit the arms or legs. , high-precision aiming, will directly hit the target. Once the Qiqiao Divine Mansion is damaged, the Heaven and Earth Resurrection cannot cure it at all.

At this time, the mountain fires around the city have been extinguished, and the warriors and soldiers outside the city have also withdrawn into the city to search. Huang Mao'er concentrated and perceived that Huang Mao'er was now three miles due east of the city. He had previously given Huang Mao'er the divine power to protect Wang Xinran. Wherever Huang Mao'er was, Wang Xinran would be there. where.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was depressed and worried, and had no idea what to do, a strange noise suddenly came from not far away. The sound was very small, like a stick hitting cotton wool.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a fresh blood stain ten meters away to the south. There was half a mouse around the blood stain. The upper body of the mouse was gone, and only the back half was left.

Seeing this situation, Wu Zhongyuan was instinctively alert, reached out eagerly, and pulled Jiang Nan to hide behind the tree.

After taking a deep breath to calm down the throbbing in his heart, doubts arose in his mind. The mouse just now was clearly hit by a bullet. There was a fallen tree to the north of him. It was impossible for a sniper to fire from the north. He could shoot from the south, and the blood spatter on the ground also showed that the sniper fired from the south. So the question arises. He and the rat were in a straight line with no obstacles in between. Why did the sniper shoot? Instead of aiming at him, aim at the unlucky rat.

After thinking anxiously and briefly, Wu Zhongyuan walked out from behind the big tree where he was hiding.

His move frightened Jiang Nan beside him, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull, "What are you doing? The assassin is nearby."

Wu Zhongyuan subconsciously wanted to say, "She has gone far," but he held back the words for two reasons. One was that he did not want to lie to Jiang Nan, and the other was that the pronunciation of "she" was different at this time. Once this If "she" is spoken, Jiang Nan will know that he and the murderer probably know each other.

"It doesn't matter, this kind of concealed weapon cannot be fired continuously." Wu Zhongyuan stepped forward, squatted down near the blood stain, found the bullet hole, dug out the warhead from the soil, looked at it carefully, and then used his physical skills to quickly go south, " The murderer is within a radius of five miles, so go back and call people to search for him immediately."

Jiang Nan wanted to follow him, but when he heard his shout, he hurriedly stopped, turned around, and flew towards the city.

Wu Zhongyuan did not run too far, and only stopped after traveling more than three hundred feet. There were many big trees in the woods, and the big trees overlapped and intertwined with each other. His current location was the farthest area without obstacles. The sniper can only shoot the mouse if he fires from here. If he fires from other angles, the bullet will be blocked by obstacles.

When he arrived here, he looked around anxiously, but found no human figure, but not finding a human figure did not mean that he had found nothing. He heard a faint breathing, just five steps away to his right.

This discovery made Wu Zhongyuan take a breath, because there was a big tree five steps away to his right, and there was nothing under the tree.

Just as he tilted his head and looked to his right, a voice came out of thin air from under the tree, "Wu Zhongyuan."

It was a female voice, very familiar yet strange, the voice of a woman deep in my memory.

Wu Zhongyuan was surprised but not surprised, because the moment the sniper shot the mouse, he had already guessed the sniper's identity. Only Zhao Ying would not kill him when she had the chance to kill him, but he was surprised What's strange is that although he heard Zhao Ying's voice, he couldn't see her presence. There was nothing where the voice came from.

"Is it really you?" The voice was very small, not deliberately low, but weak from lack of energy.

"What's going on? Why can't I see you?" Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his right hand and stretched out his spiritual energy to touch it remotely. The extended spiritual energy was like an octopus tentacle. The feeling returned was that there was indeed a person sitting under the tree, and he was a real person. Yes, just can't see it.

"I'm wearing an invisibility cloak." Zhao Ying said.

Hearing Zhao Ying's words, Wu Zhongyuan immediately understood that deep down in his heart he was a very patriotic person, but he loved rationally and not fanatically. To be fair, in terms of high-tech research, the West may be more advanced in some fields. Some, so he was not surprised that hostile forces could create invisibility cloaks.

"Are you injured?" Wu Zhongyuan walked over.

"That's right." Zhao Ying said.

Wu Zhongyuan slowly stretched out his hand, first touching the cold sniper rifle, and then touching Zhao Ying's right wrist. He was startled as soon as he felt his pulse. Zhao Ying's heartbeat was frighteningly fast, at least double the normal heart rate. It was so fast. And weak, very abnormal.

"What's going on?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.

"Don't worry, I still have time." Zhao Ying smiled.

"This is not the place to talk. I'll take you away." Wu Zhongyuan looked around to make sure no one stretched out his hands to pick up Zhao Ying. He used his movement technique to fly towards the southeast. He was afraid of being discovered by others, so he only walked under the trees. , not higher than the treetops.

"Are you poisoned?" Wu Zhongyuan could feel that Zhao Ying's body temperature was very high and her muscles were spontaneously twitching, which were obvious symptoms of poisoning.

"There's no need to try to save me. I've been poisoned for too long and received too many cardiac injections. There's no way I can be saved," Zhao Ying said.

"As long as I'm here, you can't die," Wu Zhongyuan said, "What's going on? What are you doing here?"

"Of course I will come back to kill you." Zhao Ying said.

"You had the chance to kill, why didn't you?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"My gun skills are not good." Zhao Ying said with a smile.

"Do you know who you killed?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Your wife's father," Zhao Ying said, "but when I killed him, I didn't know his relationship with you. I only knew that he was the chief of this tribe and the prince who obeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor."

"How do you know he is a prince?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I shot down a flying bird that carried a message," Zhao Ying said. "The writing at this time has also been found in archaeological discoveries in modern times. I studied it unexpectedly. Although I can't pronounce it, I can understand the writing."

"Why did you kill him?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"One of my tasks is to kill all the tribal chiefs, including you." Zhao Ying said.

"How do you know I am the chief of the tribe?" Wu Zhongyuan did not correct Zhao Ying's Western vocabulary.

"The inscriptions on many ancient cultural relics use Zhongyuan and Zhongyuan interchangeably, so we analyze that you are the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains in Eastern legends." Zhao Ying said.

Seeing that Zhao Ying was breathing rapidly, Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any more questions. He removed his body technique, closed his acupoints with Qi, and used Feng Xing Technique. When Feng Xing Technique was used, his complexion would not be revealed, so no one knew where he went.

After running more than five hundred miles in one breath, a stream appeared in front of him. There was an open cave beside the stream. Wu Zhongyuan took Zhao Ying into the cave, put her down, and said, "Take off the invisibility cloak..." 20
