Chapter 145 Interception
The cold wind howled across the hills, bringing with it the breath of winter.

Zhang Yuan looked up at the dark sky and a few snowflakes fell on his face.

It's going to snow.

This is the third day since Zhang Yuan left Whale Castle.

Over the past few days, he has been searching for the target.

But there has been no harvest so far.

Zhang Yuan’s target was naturally Wang Chen, who was offered a high bounty by the Nanxun branch of the Angry Whale Gang.

But this third-level warrior, who was said to have sneaked into Linhe County, seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

The scouts sent out by the Linhe branch were also unable to find the other side.

It is possible that Wang Chen bypassed Linhe County, or he might be hiding somewhere.

No one could guess what this desperado was thinking.

Zhang Yuan made up his mind and decided to continue looking for two more days. If he still couldn’t find it, he would return to Whale Castle.

Although the reward for this task is tempting, it is not worth wasting too much time.

Maybe Wang Chen was nestling comfortably in the cave, laughing at the people who were looking for him in the cold wind.

唳～
At this moment, a sharp eagle cry brought Zhang Yuan back to his senses.

He immediately grabbed the eagle flag next to the saddle, raised it high and waved it a few times.

The next moment, a harrier swooped down from the sky and landed steadily on Zhang Yuan's arm.

This is a small falcon that the Angry Whale Gang raises specifically for delivering messages. It flies very fast.

Zhang Yuan took off the bamboo tube tied to the eagle's foot, pulled out the letter from it and read it.

He was immediately cheered up.

News came from the branch that a scout had spotted a lone traveler suspected to be Wang Chen in the southwest area of ​​Linhe County.

But the other party was very alert and had already shaken off the scout's pursuit.

His current whereabouts are unknown.

Zhang Yuan immediately took out the Linhe County geomancy map and compared the location, and found that the distance to him was not very far.

Judging from the map, if the lone traveler was really Wang Chen, he had taken a large detour and sneaked into the riverside area, completely avoiding the main roads that the Angry Whale Gang had heavily guarded.

Unfortunately, he was unable to escape the tight net set by the Linhe branch, and his whereabouts were still exposed!

I believe that at this moment, many masters of the battle hall who have received the message have rushed over.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, then grabbed a lively hare from the sac and cut off some fresh meat to feed the harrier.

Because hawks only eat fresh meat, he had caught two rabbits as a backup.

After feeding the harrier and releasing it, Zhang Yuan summoned the red-eyed crow.

This spirit messenger is the key to his fight for the mission reward!
Zhang Yuan threw the hare that the harrier hawk had not finished eating to the red-eyed crow as a snack, and then rode forward in the southwest direction.

Soon, the red-eyed crow flew into the sky.

It acted as Zhang Yuan's second pair of eyes, searching for suspicious targets within a dozen miles around.

Because he had to concentrate on controlling the Red-Eyed Crow, Zhang Yuan's speed on horseback was not very fast.

But only half an hour later, he discovered the situation through this spirit messenger!
Zhang Yuan did not hesitate at all and immediately increased his speed.

Run towards that location.

Not long after, he saw a person lying on the ground in the distance.

When Zhang Yuan came in front of the other person and saw his appearance clearly, his heart sank immediately.

He jumped off his horse and turned the man over.

A hideous face with eyes open suddenly appeared in Zhang Yuan's eyes.

The deceased was actually a scout from the Angry Whale Gang!
His fatal wound was in the left chest. The thick cotton armor was pierced by the sharp blade and went straight into the heart. It was a very clean and neat blow.

The blood flowing from the wound was still fresh, obviously indicating that the person had died not long ago.

Zhang Yuan noticed that there were a lot of footprints scattered around the scout.

Including horse hoof prints, he speculated that the scout had tracked the enemy here and was suddenly attacked.

Not only was he killed on the spot, but his mount was also taken away!

But the enemy certainly didn't get far.

Zhang Yuan immediately looked up at the sky, concentrating on controlling the Red-Eyed Crow to search for the target.

This time the Red-Eyed Crow did not disappoint him.

Enemy spotted!

Zhang Yuan got back on the horse as quickly as possible and swung the whip at his opponent, giving him a hard lash.

Sigh~
The mount neighed in pain, then spread out its four hooves and ran away at full speed.

Zhang Yuan was trying to do two things at once, controlling the horse while keeping a tight lock on the target.

The pursuit began in this uninhabited wilderness.

Regardless of whether this person is Wang Chen or not, since he killed the scout of the Angry Whale Gang, he is Zhang Yuan’s enemy!

Because his target was clear and he didn't care about his mount at all, the distance between him and the opponent was quickly shortened.

The terrain in this area is quite flat, and the grass and trees wither in winter, so the view is very open.

After chasing for only an incense stick of time, Zhang Yuan saw the enemy in front of him!
The other party was also riding a horse.

Zhang Yuan took the quiver hanging on his back, quickly took out and assembled the iron bow.

At this time, the people fleeing in front also discovered Zhang Yuan, the pursuer.

He glanced back and then quickened his horse's pace.

Trying to distance himself from Zhang Yuan.

However, Zhang Yuan had already put on a fine iron arrow.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan had completely regained his composure. He stared at the enemy in front of him and pulled the iron bow in his hand while riding on his horse.

The moment the arrow aimed at the target, Zhang Yuan released the bowstring.

collapse!
With a low rumbling sound, the iron arrow flashing with black light shot out like lightning.

This priceless arrow spun at high speed in the air, covering a distance of hundreds of steps in an instant and catching up with the enemy cavalry in the blink of an eye.

The opponent obviously did not expect that Zhang Yuan's bow and arrow had such a long range and such a fast speed.

When he realized that something was wrong, it was too late to dodge!
puff!

The fine iron arrow pierced through the horse's buttocks without any hesitation and penetrated deep into the body of the mount.

Sigh~
The horse suddenly let out a mournful cry, lost its balance in an instant, and fell forward heavily to the ground.

The warrior on horseback reacted very quickly and immediately jumped high into the air.

Did not fall with the mount.

In fact, Zhang Yuan was aiming at his horse!

As the distance between the two sides was still far, and both were running at high speed, Zhang Yuan was not sure of killing the enemy with one arrow, so he killed the opponent's mount first.

The warrior fell to the ground and drew his sword in anger.

He did not continue to run away. Instead, he used his physical skills to rush towards Zhang Yuan, intending to fight Zhang Yuan head on!

Well come!
Zhang Yuan shot out the second fine iron arrow.

This time the arrow is faster, aimed more accurately, and goes straight to the opponent's vital points!

The warrior was startled and immediately swung his sword to block the incoming arrow.

Clang!
This man was extremely powerful, and his swordsmanship was superb and sophisticated. He even managed to block the iron arrow at the critical moment.

However, the power contained in the fine iron arrow exceeded his expectations, and he was unable to block it.

The arrow grazed his right shoulder.

Blood spurted out!
