Chapter 545 Means
Land Soaring Technique: Complete.
Running speed on flat ground increases by 9%, tossing and maneuvering, body agility increases by 7%, jumping long distances, and climbing heights increase by 6%.
It seems that the increase is not much, but this is based on the perfect body.
Whether it is cultivation, strength, or body speed, it is often even more difficult to improve after reaching a certain level.
percent,
often means a world of difference.
In real comparison, many marrow warriors who practiced high-level body skills and even masters who had just become true qi might be no more than that.
in addition,
There is also the blessing of mountain climbing in the perfect realm.
“Shua!”
Clinging to the wall, Zhou Yi slid down without a sound, glanced around, lowered his body and jumped into a warehouse in front of him with an ups and downs.
The warehouse is dark and damp, with wooden boxes stacked in the middle.
Ok?
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows.
The warehouse here mainly transports wood from the mountains, and there are very few places where wooden boxes are useful. Even if there are, it is impossible to have so many.
“It’s really weird!”
With a mutter in his mouth, Zhou Yi stepped closer, the long knife at his waist trembled slightly, and the light of the knife cut open the wooden box without sound.
“Dah…”
Opening the wooden box, what caught his eyes made his eyes shrink, showing horror.
Arrow!
Armor-piercing Arrow!
This is a kind of arrow unique to the imperial court military.
It is two feet and seven inches long. The arrowhead is forged from refined iron.
This kind of arrow is extremely vicious.
It can pierce armor. The arrow blade has slots and thorns. After entering the body, it can cause continuous blood flow, and it cannot be pulled out. Once pulled out, a large piece of flesh will be torn off.
get shot,
On the battlefield, it almost means death!
Chunyang Iron Cloth Shirt has been repaired to the state of iron clothing cover, the skin and flesh are hard and full of toughness, if ordinary arrows fall on the body, if the strength is not enough, they can bounce back as much as possible.
He Dong back then could do it.
But this does not include armor-piercing arrows.
This arrow is sharp, even if it is thrown by ordinary people, it is full of lethality. If a warrior bends his bow and sets up an arrow to shoot a volley, the marrow warrior can also surround and kill.
There are also disadvantages.
One is that it is expensive to make, and the fine iron tip, paulownia wood, and phoenix feather are not cheap.
The second is that the arrow is too heavy, and an armor-piercing arrow can weigh several kilograms. It is difficult for ordinary archers to shoot far, let alone aim and shoot continuously.
In the wooden box, armor-piercing arrows were neatly stacked. Even though the room was dark, the polished arrow tips still showed a chilling light.
“Military killer.”
Zhou Yi sighed softly:
“You guys are so brave!”
Shaking his head, he reached out and took out two armor-piercing arrows from the box.

“what happened?”
Zhang Xian jumped off his horse, threw the rein at the gatekeeper, strode towards the courtyard, and shouted:
“What happened, calling me back so urgently?”
He was escorting the goods, and was called back halfway. Naturally, he was upset, and the anger between his brows was revealed, and he was ready to explode at any time.
“head.”
A person with a pale complexion hurriedly greeted him, and said in a low voice:
“Zhou Yi is here!”
“Ok?”
Zhang Xian frowned:
“What’s going on, what is he doing here?”
“I don’t know either.” The guard shook his head:
“Maybe it’s just a whim, I want to come and have a look.”
“You let him in?” Zhang Xian’s expression was gloomy. He knew exactly what was in the warehouse, and no one should find out.
“Of course not.” The guard waved his hands again and again, and then said:
“But not long after the surname Zhou left, we found that a wooden box in the warehouse had been opened, and two armor-piercing arrows were missing inside, so we called you back.”
“…”
Zhang Xian paused, the muscles on his face twitched back and forth, and said:
“Really?”
“It’s absolutely true.” The guard looked bitter:
“Head, how dare we lie to you about such a big matter?”
“Little bastard!” Zhang Xian gritted his steel teeth with a ferocious expression on his face:
“At first I thought he was honest, and I wanted to spare his life, but I didn’t expect that he was an unfamiliar wolf cub. If I knew it earlier, I shouldn’t have given him a chance.”
“head.”
The guard said:
“What should we do now?”
“go!”
Zhang Xian took a deep breath and said coldly:
“Regardless of whether the disappearance of the armor-piercing arrow is related to the surname Zhou, we must first take precautions. By the way, let me know over there. I will guard here.”
“quick!”
“yes.”
The guard shook his body and responded in a hurry.
…
Chen Long’s face was gloomy, and his eyes were about to erupt with anger. He flicked the whip rope in his hand again and again, and the whipped horse let out screams from time to time, and galloped with all its might.
“Drive!”
“Drive!”
Behind him, more than a dozen nursing homes galloped on horses with cold faces.
The mountain road is rugged and difficult.
During the gallop, more than ten riders were extremely fast, even if they turned sharply, the speed was not slow at all.
Zhou Yi was in it, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chen Tou doesn’t show his face very much, and is easily overlooked in Liuying’s courtyard. He never thought that there are such elites under his command.
There are more than a dozen people, each of whom is at least successful in refining skin.
Among them are three visceral refiners.
It doesn’t show up normally, but now it gallops on the horse, breathing like one body, the charging momentum is terrifying, even a marrow warrior can’t stop it.
The Lin family deserves to be one of the top giants in the Jianghu.
Moreover, this group of people is full of murderous looks and cold eyes, which are completely different from those warriors whose hands have not been stained with blood, and more like people in the battlefield.
“Woo!”
Chen Long, who was at the front, pulled the reins, and his whole body soared into the sky, like a roc flying high, over the high wall and landed in the middle of the warehouse courtyard.
“Boom…”
The others did not stop there. Instead, led by the three people in the front row, they stabbed with spears, smashed through the thick gate, and rushed into the courtyard in single file.
“Woo!”
It was not until this time that the riders pulled up the reins, turned over and dismounted with knives and guns in their hands, and their movements were neat and orderly.
“What are you doing?”
“My own people, my own people.”
“…”
The laborers and guards in the yard all looked pale in the face of the menacing group of people, and even the voice to stop them seemed submissive and powerless.
“Humph!”
Chen Long glanced at everyone in the field, and waved his hand:
“Search!”
“yes!”
The rider immediately separated in half after hearing the sound, and rushed to each room in the warehouse.
The guards in the yard opened their mouths, but under the gaze of the rest of them, they had no choice but to stop their movements, shy away to the corner of the wall, and they didn’t dare to stop this group of tiger and wolf riders.
“Head Chen.”
Zhou Yi frowned slightly, leaned forward and said in a low voice:
“Something is wrong, it wasn’t them when I came here just now!”
At that time, there were more than 20 people here, many of whom were warriors, armed with crossbows and well-equipped, otherwise he would not have to go all the way back to call for reinforcements.
Now, there are only a few old, young, sick and disabled left.
“Oh!”
Chen Long looked sideways:
“you sure?”
“Sure…”
“Head Chen!”
At this time, a familiar voice sounded.
Zhang Xian, whose clothes were a little messy, ran out of a room with surprise on his face, and quickly came to Chen Long, cupped his hands and said:
“Head, why do you come here when you are free?”
“Zhang Xian.”
Chen Long looked at him, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
“Why do you ask knowingly, we have worked together for more than ten years, if there is any difficulty, just tell me, why do those beheading business?”
“You know, you are the nursing home of the Lin family, and your every move may affect the Lin family!”
“Head.” Zhang Xian’s complexion changed:
“What do you mean by that? I don’t understand.”
“Ahem…” Zhou Yi coughed lightly from the side, and said:
“Senior Zhang, didn’t you **** the goods? When did you come back?”
“I’ve been here all day.” Zhang Xian looked bewildered, then frowned, stared at Zhou Yi and shouted:
“Zhou Yi, didn’t you **** the goods with Zhang Guan today? As the deputy here, what’s the reason for letting go on the first day of work?”
“Zhang Xian!”
Chen Long mumbled:
“No need to put on airs, let me ask you, why smuggle banned military weapons?”
As he spoke, he swung his big hand, and the two armor-piercing arrows fell heavily on the ground. Under the tremendous force of the marrow warrior, the shafts of the arrows broke in two on the spot.
He didn’t believe Zhou Yi was lying at all.
The two have no grievances or enmity, and there is no benefit for lying. The only possibility is that there is indeed a problem with this warehouse.
“Forbidden weapon?”
“This is… armor-piercing arrow?”
Zhang Xian lowered his head, looked at the piercing arrows on the ground in confusion, and then called out Qu:
“Head, we have worked together for more than ten years, when did I do such a thing.”
“If you don’t believe it, just search, but if you find an armor-piercing arrow here, I, Lao Zhang, will take off the head and put it in front of you!”
He looked angry, stamped his feet and cursed, looked at Zhou Yi frequently, and said angrily:
“is that you?”
“Did you frame me?”
“head!”
At this time, someone from the nursing home who went to search had already returned, cupping their fists and saying:
“No!”
“Neither on my side!”
“I don’t have any here either!”
“…”
Although the warehouse is large, it is mostly an open area. What is in the room can be seen at a glance, and the nursing homes returned one after another, all shaking their heads.
“head!”
Zhang Xian opened his eyes wide, and raised his voice:
“As you heard, there is no armor-piercing arrow forbidden by the imperial court at all, but someone slandered me and wronged me!”
“Wronged?” Chen Long frowned, looking sideways:
“Zhou Yi, how do you explain?”
The thing is not there, so Zhou Yi is more likely to lie, but this is unreasonable, why should he slander Zhang Xian for no reason.
It is unnecessary to talk about fighting for power.
Zhou Yi will be picked up by the mountain in a short time, leaving the outer courtyard is his own bad future.
but…
Zhang Xian and Chen Long have also worked together for more than ten years, and they also have mutual trust.
a time,
He also hesitated.
“Senior Zhang.”
Zhou Yi chuckled and stepped forward:
“You obviously followed Brother Zhang to **** the goods, but you returned suddenly. You must have received a summons. How could there be no clues to transport the things away in such a short time.”
As he spoke, he pointed at the guard in the courtyard:
“They should also know what it is.”
After all, the warehouse is not a small place. There are people who carry goods every day. As long as the people in it are here, they must know some tricks.
As for finding someone temporarily, it is even more suspicious and suspicious.
“Humph!”
Zhang Xian’s eyes were cold, and he hummed softly:
“Why, do you still want to be tortured?”
“…” Zhou Yi looked at the other party, he couldn’t bear it to such an extent, maybe Zhang Xian really has the ability to keep others from speaking, but he is not the only one.
Immediately nodded, said:
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t torture them, but if you transfer the goods, there will always be traces on the ground, right?”
“have.”
A nursing home is obviously an expert in it, and nodded upon hearing this:
“There are indeed traces of the carriage going out here, but the traces are very shallow. If the distance is too far, it is impossible to chase them.”
“Humph!”
Zhang conspicuously reveals provocation:
“There will naturally be traces of the delivery today, which is normal. If I just rely on this to say that I smuggled forbidden devices, I’m afraid it will be difficult to convince people.”
really.
Things without evidence, others will not believe.
Even Chen Long, who was aggressive before he came, now showed suspicion in his eyes, moving back and forth between Zhou Yi and Zhang Xian.
“As long as there are traces.” Facing Zhang Xian’s provocation, Zhou Yi smiled lightly, and took a ladle of water from the water tank beside him.
Splashing water on the ground with a ladle in hand.
“Wow…”
Water falls to the ground and flows along the rutted gullies.
“My surname is Zhang, what are you doing?”
Zhang Xian laughed when he saw this:
“Could it be that you still know the divination techniques of charlatans?”
“No.” Zhou Yi shook his head, reached out and pointed down:
“Everyone, please take a look.”
“Well…”
“Purple?”
“what is this?”
But in the water flow, a faint purple trace emerged, although it was not very obvious, it was distinct from the soil.
Chen Long raised his eyebrows:
“Zhou Yi, what’s going on?”
“This is the hyphae of the purple leaf mushroom… that is the white layer on the top of the mountain mushroom.” Zhou Yi explained:
“This thing is usually invisible, but it changes color when exposed to water.”
“Coincidentally, when I left, just in case, I sprinkled it on those boxes and carriages, and you can find where the goods are delivered by following the color.”
Purple leaf umbrella mushroom is a kind of poisonous mushroom. The mycelium has strong adhesion and changes color when exposed to water. It is a small method Zhou Yi has explored in the past few years to track people.
The point is that poisonous mushroom hyphae are very common in the mountains, like a layer of hoarfrost, even if it touches the body, it will not arouse suspicion.
Moreover, this thing is not picked by ordinary people, and it is rarely used in pharmacies. Presumably, even a master who is proficient in medicine and poison will not notice the abnormality.
“Senior Zhang.”
Lifting his head, Zhou Yi spoke slowly:
“Now, what else do you have to say?”
Chen Long’s face was gloomy, and the others were quietly preparing to capture him.
“Humph!”
Zhang Xian’s eyes flickered, and he suddenly snorted softly:
“What kind of **** mountain mushroom, you can do whatever you say. Zhang behaves upright and sits upright. If he says he hasn’t done it, he hasn’t done it.”
“Do you think this trick can fool me?”
