Chapter 300 - Yu Yu
With his ‘amazing archery skills’ Taisi shot another five arrows in a row at the straw doll and finally managed to fill the quota of seven shots a day.
Gasping, Taisi dropped the tiny bow, grinned embarrassedly and turned towards Feng Xing, who was standing aside with his mouth curved down into a semicircle. Taisi said, “Ha...ah...ahah, brother Feng Xing, next time, I’ll cast the curse but can you please shoot on behalf of me?”
Feng Xing raised his head and sighed towards the sky.
The first arrow was shot on the lower, lower belly of the straw doll, while the second one on the fingertip. For the remaining five arrows, Taisi had moved closer till he was less than a zhang away from the altar in order to try to aim better. The result was one on the corner of the forehead, one on the toe, one on the ear, one on the corner of the mouth while the last one on the shoulder.
Such a crappy archery skill would probably make a God cry. If Taisi had been so unfortunate to be born in the Ten Sun Country, once he would display such a poor talent in archery, his own parents would strangle him themselves for sure, just to prevent him from humiliating the whole family with such a dreadful archery skill.
In the main camp of Di Sha’s army, Ju Xiu had suffered suddenly and weirdly from great pain for an entire seven times. In the meanwhile, seemingly small, neglectable wounds would appear on her body abruptly for absolutely no reason. For example her finger had cracked, ear gashed, toe broken and two teeth had fallen off. Although none of these small wounds had threatened her life, the pain was enough to drive her crazy.
Di Sha and the other army commanders were nearly driven crazy as well. The Xiu Clan master physicians were trying their best to cure Ju Xiu and cast the curse away from her, but none of their tries had worked so far. All of Ju Xiu’s small wounds looked more than ordinary, but those Xu Clan physicians had failed to even stop the bleeding after using up all of the best magical medicines that they had brought.
Hearing this news, the entire non-human race army had instantly fallen into chaos, especially those Yu Clan warriors who were afraid of death. They sent messages to their families as soon as possible, and after only an hour of sending them, quite a few large-scale families of the Blood Moon began purchasing all kinds of powerful magic talismans and treasures which could block magic curses. Even the prices of this kind of treasures and talismans had raised quickly by over a hundred percent.
This chaos had no effect on Ji Hao and his team at the moment. Looking at Taisi, who had just finished the seven shots for today and looked quite relieved, Ji Hao smiled and said to him, “Taisi, you’re pretty tired, and everybody else also. Let’s go back and take a rest. I have already told Elder Wulong, so no task will be assigned to us during the next few days, we can…”
Although Ji Hao hadn’t perceived the existence of any other people with his spiritual power, he still subconsciously took a glance at the bulrush wood aside. However, with this careless glance, he was shocked to discover a human silhouette near the edge of the bulrush wood, who was holding his hands behind his body and was curiously looking at the Nailhead Seven Arrow magic curse formation.
A stream of cold sweat gushed instantly out of Ji Hao’s body, and every single one of his fine hairs stood immediately straight. He rushed up to Shaosi, who was standing the closest to that silhouette, grabbed her shoulder and threw her backwards. At the same time, the turtle shell swiftly and automatically appeared on his body. He then pulled out the stone sword, puffed out his chest and stood right in front of that dark silhouette.
“Who are you?!” An indescribable great shock turned eventually into a simple sentence.
“Ah!” Yelled Man Man. Seeing Ji Hao’s movements, she finally realised that someone had come near them without them noticing it. She was startled as well and instantly raised her pair of gigantic hammers, quickly glancing around then moved to behind Ji Hao. Man Man had already got used to standing behind Ji Hao and be his reinforcement anytime he would need it.
A stream of green mist rose from the ground under Yu Mu’s feet, along with which, a dense watery mist puffed up from the two surrounding rivers, which condensed quickly into a few thick streams of mist flowed around his body.
As always, Feng Xing had already disappeared in the wind once Ji Hao had discovered that silhouette. At the first second, his footsteps could still be heard faintly, coming from the surrounding area, but it faded soon away. Feng Xing, the one who was able to move swiftly like a ghost, had already become a terrifying person, among Ji Hao’s team.
Only Taisi had yet to realize what was happening. While turning his head around, he yelled aloud, “Hah? Rest? No, no, no, we should get something to eat before we rest! I’m starving! Now, do you have any idea how exhausting the Nailhead Seven Arrows curse is…?”
