Chapter 44: Familiar Silver Bow

When he first saw the child, he sighed silently in his heart as usual. Having seen countless people, he could tell at a glance that the child was definitely no more than 20 years old.

He is not thin, but he is definitely not strong either. His facial features are delicate and slightly heroic. His skin is slightly fair, and his hands are as delicate as a woman's. It is often heard that many widows and noble ladies in Jingzhou have a hobby of keeping male lovers in private. If this child is dressed up, he should be very popular with those noble ladies.

This was the first impression the child made on him.

He doesn't look like a soldier at all!

Why did such a kid come to such a place? Was it because of the recruitment slogan "Fight to become the next hero"?

Thinking of a certain "thing", his heart was filled with sadness again.

To be honest, he was reluctant to recruit the child at that time, not only because the child did not look like a capable soldier, but also because of the "crack" hidden deep in his heart. So he deliberately posed a difficult question, hoping that the child would give up, but unexpectedly, the child actually rose to the challenge and performed quite well.

"Let this child stay. At least he has a strong will and great potential."

For some reason, looking at the child's dark eyes, he suddenly had this idea.

As it turned out, his vision was always accurate. After that, the child's performance not only lived up to his expectations, but even far exceeded his expectations.

The child's adaptability is astonishing. No, it should be said that he has this terrifying potential?

From the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, the child's performance was appalling. Not only was he able to easily predict the enemy's motives, he was even able to see through the enemy's plans in an instant, and he was able to quickly come up with corresponding strategies. In the fight with the enemy, he was not inferior to any veteran.

In this child, he saw the ruthlessness and bloodiness that a soldier should have, the decisiveness that a general should have, and the sharp intelligence that a strategist should have.

He has led countless recruits, some of whom have now held high positions, but none of the qualifications displayed by these people can compare with this child!
Are there really geniuses in this world who are born with knowledge?
Of course there are.

A long time ago, wasn’t that the young boy named Zhuge who was brought into Jixia by him?
But such people are extremely rare, one in ten thousand? No! In an era, such people can be counted on one's fingers!
An idea began to emerge in his mind, an idea that should have been extinguished long ago.

Perhaps, we can place the last glimmer of hope on this child?
But is it really possible? Can this child really bear such a heavy burden?

He was still hesitating.

What really made him make up his mind was the moment they met again.

That child is still alive!

When he saw the child again, he was so excited that he almost shed tears. This was also the first time he took the initiative to thank the gods after a certain "incident", because this was simply a miracle. The child was trapped in a dangerous wild area alone and was tracked and surrounded by countless enemies, but even so, the child still survived!
While expressing his gratitude, he also noticed that the child's eyes had changed.

Perhaps others could not notice it, but he could see that in those eyes as dark as the night sky, there was something more than when they first met, and that was a deeply hidden coldness.

He didn't know what this child had experienced, but he was sure that this child had killed many people, and it was those deaths that caused this child to transform.

So be it.

"When the time is right, I will entrust everything to you. Whether it is destruction or innovation, it is up to you to decide. But before that, work hard to climb up! You still have a long way to go!"

At this moment, his heart, which had been tense for many years, finally relaxed. He looked up at the clear sky and smiled silently. It turned out that the difficult-to-achieve wish hidden deep in his heart always needed to find a place to rest.

only--

Slowly, Su An regained his solemn expression.

Because he remembered the silver longbow behind Wang Yao. To be honest, when they met again, Su An's eyes first fell on the silver bow.

Because of the "breath" emitted by the silver bow, his back felt slightly cold at the first moment. This was an almost instinctive fear. For all these years, no one had been able to give him this feeling!
It seemed like he had experienced this feeling before, long ago? And in a very special era?
But when exactly was it? He couldn't remember the exact moment.

Just as Su An was trying hard to recall, a pleasant voice suddenly came, interrupting his thoughts.

"Brother Su An? Why are you still here?"

Although Su An obviously intended to take them back to Jingzhou, Wang Yao knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to go back with his teammates.

After all, Luna is a hero that Shu relies on, and a key figure in deciding the outcome of the war between Shu and Wei. The other two routes may need her support at any time. If he doesn't take advantage of her still being by his side to harvest more heads of the black soldiers, there may not be such a good opportunity next time.

Of course, Wang Yao was not in a hurry to tell his teammates about this. He believed that Su An, who went to find Luna, should have known about this. So why not let the captain tell him? Maybe the captain would ask Erda and the others to come with him? With his teammates around, he would feel more at ease. However, why has the captain not come back after waiting for so long?

Looking at Wang Yao who kept looking ahead, Maomao suddenly asked: "Ayao, can you tell me what happened after you fell into the wild area?"

Wang Yao turned around and said, "What's there to say? It was just like that. After several twists and turns, we finally got back to the top lane."

Shi Liang blushed and said, "Your ability to summarize is a bit too sharp, isn't it? That's a wild area, a wild area! I heard there are some scary demons there, have you encountered any?"

"Yes, but I'm fine, right?" Wang Yao nodded.

Shi Liang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and just as he was about to get angry, Xiao Ye asked first: "I later heard from Erda and the others that after you fell into the wild area, many black soldiers went down to search for you?"

"Yes, there were nearly a hundred black soldiers following me." Wang Yao nodded.

Ono: “.”

2Da smiled and said, "Can you be more specific? We are actually very curious about how you got back to the top lane."

Wang Yao thought for a moment and said, "I was running away in the jungle, but the black soldiers were following me closely. In the end, it was only because Luna arrived in time that I was lucky enough to escape!"

2Da almost fell to the ground. He couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. "In two days, you summarized it in 40 words with punctuation marks?!"

"I'm just afraid that someone will say I'm spamming." Wang Yao smiled softly. In fact, he didn't want to mention what happened in the wild area, because for him, it was simply a nightmare. Looking at Erda and Shi Liang, he paused and asked, "I'm also concerned about how you escaped after that?"

"Hehe!" Shi Liang said with an expression that said "You finally asked me" and said, "You won't believe me if I tell you this. After you fell into the wild area, the black-armored soldiers at Fulong Slope also rushed up. The scene at that time was incredible! It was like a huge black wave rushing towards us, and the sound of killing shook the sky! Just looking at the momentum, I guess few people could stand firm. But, don't you see who I am? At that time, I was not afraid at all. I carried 2 Da in one hand and a long knife in the other, and I cut them like watermelons, one on the left, one on the right, and I faced hundreds of black soldiers alone. In the end..."

"Okay, stop bragging. You've said this self-written and self-performed drama no less than nine times in the past two days!" Maomao interrupted Shi Liang who was talking nonstop, and then said to Wang Yao with a smile: "In fact, Erda told me later that after you fell into the wild area, the magic soldiers of the Black Armor Army started throwing fireballs up the slope. Although neither of them was hit, they were covered by the mud blown up by the fireballs. Unexpectedly, the black soldiers didn't even notice it, so they luckily escaped."

"Maomao." Shi Liang looked at Maomao pitifully.

"I hate vain people the most." Maomao rolled his eyes at Shi Liang rudely.

Then Shi Liang squatted aside and drew circles.

2 Daze added: "In fact, that group of black armor soldiers are very difficult to deal with. After they found out that we disappeared, they searched the area for a long time. But just when we were about to be discovered, I seemed to hear someone say that three of our companions died inexplicably in the wild area, and then the black armor soldiers began to gather in the wild area. Now that I think about it, the black armor soldiers should be hunting you down, right?"

"Well, I did kill three black soldiers who followed them to the jungle." Wang Yao nodded. He had just obtained the armor-piercing bow at that time and couldn't resist the urge to get a triple kill. Now that he thought about it, the reason why he was surrounded by the black soldiers in the jungle was, after all, because he was too reckless!

Looking at Wang Yao who was still smiling bitterly, Erda suddenly said with a serious face: "In that case, Shi Liang and I were actually saved by you. If you hadn't attracted the attention of the Black Armored Army, Shi Liang and I would have been dead in the wilderness. I owe you my life!"

"I owe you a life too!" Shi Liang on the side also stood up.

"I hope you won't have the chance to pay me back." Looking at Erda and Shi Liang with sincere faces, Wang Yao felt warm in his heart and reached out to pat them on the shoulders.

"Okay, can you guys stop doing this?" Maomao said with a smile, "By the way, Ayao, I've been wanting to ask you since just now, where did you get this silver bow behind you? It's very beautiful!"

"Oh, this." Wang Yao took off the armor-piercing bow from his back, but before he could say anything, Su An came over with Luna.

As soon as they saw Luna, the four of them, 2da, immediately stood in military posture excitedly, especially Shi Liang and Ono, whose faces were full of admiration.

"You don't have to be so reserved." Luna smiled sweetly. Her smile was as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus on the top of a mountain. Shi Liang and Ono almost drooled at the sight.

Finally, the more stable 2da said: "Thank you for coming to the jungle to save Ayao in person!"

Luna glanced at Wang Yao inconspicuously, her clear eyes shone with waves: "You are welcome, this is something I can do."

Maomao, who was standing aside, was originally excited about being so close to the hero, but when she inadvertently saw the look in Luna's eyes as she looked at Wang Yao, she was stunned for a moment, and then her smile gradually disappeared, and an inexplicable sadness slowly arose in her heart.

As a woman, she knew very well what that look meant.

　Sleeping, it's almost 6 o'clock again, I feel so uncomfortable! The company has a big year-end inspection these two days, which is related to the year-end assessment. I have been busy working from dawn to dusk. I hope you can forgive me.
