Chapter 27 Brothers Reunited
"Who?!"

Qin Feng shuddered.

He immediately rushed out the door, but at the end of the road, he saw a black shadow flash by.

"How dare you come to me!"

Qin Feng took a deep breath and ran wildly.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with the black shadow.

"Qinggong, you know Qinggong? Are you Chen Sanshi?!"

Qin Feng barely fell behind the black shadow.

The two men, one in front and one behind, chased each other and left Yanbian Village, heading straight towards Hutou Mountain.

All the way to Erchong Mountain.

The black shadow flashed again and disappeared into the dense forest, completely disappearing.

"Keng——"

Qin Feng drew his sword, held it in one hand, and walked carefully into the dense forest.

The night sky is cloudless, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The pale moonlight fell on the earth and was broken up by the dense branches, turning into mottled light and shadows.

With every step Qin Feng took, there would be rustling sounds coming from the surrounding jungle. He didn't know whether he had scared away insects, snakes, or animals, or if someone was lurking in the dark.

He swung his sword forward angrily, cutting down large tracts of plants to expand his vision, but he still could not see the dark figure that led him out.

"Who are you anyway?"

"Aren't you going to take me to see my brother? Where is my brother?!"

Finally, that faint voice sounded again.

"You almost crushed my head, and you're still asking me?"

what?
Qin Feng was startled and looked down.

There was a white skull in the mud under his feet.

Bones and pieces of clothing were scattered around the skull.

Judging from the marks on the clothes, it seemed that they were torn by wild beasts.

This is……

Qin Xiong's clothes.

How could he forget?!

"elder brother!!!"

"call out--"

Qin Feng roared, his heart suddenly chilled.

A wolf-tooth arrow pierced his heart from behind and came out from the front.

Pfft!
Qin Feng knelt on one knee, inserted his sword into the ground for support, and tried his best not to fall down. Blood gushed out of his mouth and nose like a fountain.

He had no strength left and no longer tried to resist. He just stared blankly at his brother's remains.

The salty moonlight illuminates them, a man and a ghost, two brothers.

"Depend on!"

"I am kindhearted and cannot bear to see this scene. Since you two brothers have such a deep bond, I will help you to be reunited!"

Chen Sanshi walked out from the shadows.

He mobilized his energy and blood and gathered them in his arm. The plum blossom spear was unstoppable and pierced a transparent hole in Qin Feng's heart, ending his life.

From start to finish.

Qin Feng didn't even get to see the murderer's true face.

This is the terrifying thing about ranged weapons.

As long as they can't dodge or withstand it, they will almost lose the ability to resist in one blow.

Apparently, Blood Mastery was not enough to resist.

Chen Sanshi rummaged around on the corpse and found ten taels of silver.

"Wealthier than your brother!"

In addition, there is a sword.

Chen Sanshi thought about it and decided not to do it.

This sword was issued by Tianyuan Martial Arts School. Its features are too obvious and it cannot be sold outside.

In order to prevent others from seeing the arrow and gunshot wounds on Qin Feng's body, he first pulled out the wolf-tooth arrow, then picked up the long sword, and randomly chopped at the body more than a dozen times. He was satisfied only after he was sure that the wounds could not be identified as having been caused by any weapon.

"Finally done."

Now that his major concern had been resolved, Chen Sanshi felt relieved.

After this trip, his tracking and hiding skills and archery skills have improved a lot.

[Skill: Archery (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: (50/1000)]

"The trace has been broken through!"

【Searching for the missing trace (minor achievement)】

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effects: Night is as bright as day, amazing insight, light as a swallow, hiding oneself]

On the basis of the original, there are two more effects.

Although it was night, Chen Sanshi could see every subtle movement as clearly as if it were daytime.

To keep quiet and hide oneself, as the name suggests, needs no further explanation.

Combining these two entries, Chen Sanshi is completely an assassin who comes and goes without a trace.

"It's time to go back."

There is a big movement in the county town tonight, and I wonder if it will affect outside the city.

He didn't dare to stay for long and returned at a very fast speed in the night.

When passing by Sujia Village, Chen Sanshi keenly noticed some movement in the woods.

He was extremely alert and immediately climbed up the tree, using the breath-concealing technique he had just learned.

For a moment, I had the illusion that I had become one with the trees, and even the birds perched on the trees were not disturbed.

There were staggering footsteps coming from the woods, like a drunkard. Every few steps, he would fall to the ground, breaking the grass and trees, making a rustling sound.

at last.

The source of the sound came into Chen Sanshi's field of vision.

However, this was not a drunkard, but a seriously injured person.

The man was not tall, his clothes were ragged, and his body was covered in blood. There were more than a dozen knife wounds on his body, deep enough to see the bones and even his internal organs. It was a miracle that he could still walk with such serious injuries.

"Where did it come from?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the man's attire, with studs in his ears and a braided beard, which was not the style of the people of this dynasty.

"Barbarian?"

"The assassin?"

"Wasn't there Captain Xiang Tingchun in person at night, with three hundred men and hundreds of martial arts disciples? How could they have escaped?"

He did not act rashly, but observed secretly.

"Cough cough cough..."

The barbarian kept coughing up black blood. As he was walking, he stumbled and fell into the grass. He tried to get up several times but fell back to the ground again. It seemed that he was at the end of his strength and was about to die.

I saw him lying on the ground, digging mud from under a stone with his hands covered in sticky blood.

It took a lot of effort to dig out a small hole.

Then he took out a box from his arms and buried it with all his strength.

"Are you hiding something?"

Chen Sanshi watched it seriously.

"Cough cough cough..."

After the barbarian buried the things, he grabbed weeds and branches to cover the traces.

At this point, he was basically only breathing in and out, and was close to death, but he still insisted on crawling forward, wanting to get away from where the things were hidden.

After about ten meters, his body stiffened and he was completely motionless.

Chen Sanshi waited on the tree for about ten minutes, and only jumped down after making sure the animal was truly dead. He used his spear to poke the soil and took out the things hidden inside.

"what's that?"

Chen Sanshi played with the palm-sized box and began to ponder.

Something that you hide with your last breath before you die must be very precious.

But the problem is.

Why would an assassin carry a treasure with him when he goes out on a mission?

Or.

The purpose of the barbarians coming to Poyang County is to steal this thing?
"No, no."

Chen Sanshi shook his head.

There are also some things that don't make sense.

If he came to steal something, he should not have stayed here after killing the county magistrate, and he also killed the owner of Yunhe Martial Arts School.

Moreover.

What treasures can a small Poyang County have?
Intelligence is even less likely.

The matter has become so serious that even if the intelligence is invalid, is there any need to bury it?

The whole thing was weird from the beginning.

The government office and the martial arts school never mentioned that they were looking for something, they only said they were searching for the assassin.

"Front!"

"quick!"

"..."

Not far away, footsteps were heard again, fast and firm, obviously the hunters were chasing after them.

Chen Sanshi naturally couldn't reveal that he was traveling at night, so he immediately restored the pit and pressed it down with stones, then returned to the tree with the box.

Those who chased after him were not soldiers from the yamen or the garrison.

They were people from the martial arts school, and there were only three of them.

A middle-aged man, leading two of his disciples.

Judging from their clothes, they are from Zhao’s Martial Arts School.

The leader is the owner of the museum, Zhao Ben.

"Master, he is the only one."

"Besides, the person is dead!"

They found the barbarian's body.

Zhao Ben's expression changed. He rushed over and searched the body: "Where's the thing?!"

"Search for me!"

"Yes!"

The two disciples drew their swords and searched the area.

Of course, nothing came of it in the end.

"Master, there's nothing. I think it was taken away by someone else."

"Damn it! It was so close!"

Zhao Ben clenched his fists until they turned white, and it took him a long time to suppress his anger: "You didn't leak the news tonight, did you?"

“Master, don’t worry. Apart from the masters of the three martial arts halls, only a few disciples and the thousand households know that we are searching for immortal treasures.

"All the other ordinary disciples and guards thought it was just a search for an assassin."

"That's good."

Zhao Ben reminded: "This matter concerns our century-long plan. Once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous! So even if outsiders get a little bit of information, they must be killed without mercy!

"Let's go back and take the barbarian's body back and cut it open. There's a chance something is in his stomach!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Watching the group go away.

It took Chen Sanshi a while to digest the amount of information in the conversation.

Immortal treasure?

Are they looking for fairy treasures?

Qianhu Xiang Tingchun also cooperates with them?

They will kill any outsider who comes into contact with them without mercy. Are they so domineering?
Chen Sanshi weighed the box in his hand.

"In that case, it's even more impossible for anyone to know that I've touched this thing."

"I have no choice but to ..."

"It's mine!"
