Without any hesitation, she followed closely behind and rushed towards the edge of the stream.
The purpose is not to jump down, but to get to the other side as quickly as possible and block the hole!
Her intuition told her that the hole was the key!
The skinny monkey is obviously good at swimming, or perhaps his desire to survive outweighs everything.
He struggled hard in the icy torrent, holding on to the box tightly. With the force of the current, he was not immediately swept away. Instead, he struggled to get closer to the bottom of the cliff on the opposite bank.
He used his hands and feet to grab the slippery rocks and struggled to crawl towards the dark cave entrance.
Ning Xiwan's speed reached its maximum, like a swift flying close to the ground.
He bypassed several huge roadblocks, stepped on the slippery moss, and rushed desperately to the position above the cave entrance on the opposite bank.
However, just as she was about to reach the edge of the protruding rock above the cave entrance—
"Swish!" A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out!
A crossbow arrow, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, shot out like a poisonous snake without warning from the shadow of the dense treetops above the cave entrance.
The angle was tricky and ruthless, going straight for Ning Xiwan's unprotected side of the neck! The speed was astonishing!
Ning Xiwan's hairs stood up instantly. At the critical moment, she displayed inhuman reaction speed and body control. Her sprinting momentum was abruptly stopped, and her body suddenly fell back at an incredible angle.
Her waist was like a broken willow branch, narrowly avoiding the crossbow arrow that brushed past the skin of her neck.
The strong wind brought by the cold arrow left a tiny blood mark on the side of her neck!
"Bang!" The crossbow arrow was deeply embedded in the tree trunk not far behind her, and the tail of the arrow was still buzzing and trembling!
There's an ambush in the cave! There's more than just the skinny monkey!
Ning Xiwan was still in shock, and her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
She quickly rolled over and hid behind a protruding rock, her heart pounding! There was definitely a crossbowman hiding in the shadows of the treetops above the cave entrance! And he was an extremely calm and experienced killer!
The timing of the arrow just now was perfect. If she hadn't been on high alert all year round and hadn't received Yan Yu's "special training", she would have been killed by now.
And in the few short seconds that she dodged, she heard a splash of water and the sound of rapid crawling from below.
The skinny monkey had taken the opportunity to climb up the shore using his hands and feet. Holding the box, he rolled and crawled into the dark cave entrance, and his figure was instantly swallowed up by the darkness.
"Damn it!" Ning Xiwan cursed inwardly, a surge of anger rushing to her head. She was actually blocked by a rat hiding in the dark.
She quickly scanned her surroundings. The treetops above the cave entrance were incredibly dense, offering a perfect sniping spot.
The enemy was high up, with a wide field of vision. The crossbow's range and penetration were deadly at this distance. Forcing the entrance was like making a sitting duck!
what to do?
Force won't work, we have to outsmart them! Ning Xiwan's eyes were cold, her brain working rapidly. She quietly peeked out from behind the rock where she was hiding, her sharp eyes sweeping across the suspicious treetops like a searchlight.
The opponent was incredibly patient. After missing his target, he immediately retreated into hiding, completely silent, as if the fatal arrow had never struck him. This level of patience and stealth were definitely not typical of a minion!
She held her breath, like the most patient hunter.
Her eyes swept through the dense branches and leaves, searching for any unnatural protrusions, reflections or outlines... Time passed minute by minute, and the roar of the stream was the only background sound.
Suddenly, her eyes fixed!
Deep in the shadows near the bifurcation of the tree trunk, the edge of a dark green camouflage net moved ever so slightly... slightly! The movement was so slight, as if it were blown by the wind, but Ning Xiwan was absolutely certain that it was definitely not the wind!
There's someone there! And that person seems to be moving, trying to find a better shooting angle!
Now is the time!
Ning Xiwan suddenly jumped out from behind the rock! But she didn't rush towards the cave entrance. Instead, like a nimble monkey, she used her hands and feet to pounce at the fastest speed towards a steep rock wall above the cave entrance, closer to the treetop sniper point.
There are rugged rocks there, which can provide temporary cover!
"Swish!" Another crossbow bolt! It practically brushed her heel and pierced the rock where she had been hiding, sending rubble flying! The other party's reaction was incredibly fast!
But Ning Xiwan wanted this moment of restraint! She rushed to the rock wall and grabbed a fist-sized, sharp-edged stone without hesitation.
She used all her strength to smash towards the direction of the unusual movement of the edge of the camouflage net that she had just locked onto!
Don't aim at the person, but at the fragile branch supporting the camouflage net!
"Crack!" The stone hit the target accurately!
The crisp sound of branches breaking could be heard clearly! The dense camouflage net, along with the branches and leaves covering it, instantly lost its support and collapsed and slid down like a curtain being lifted.
"Ah!" A suppressed scream came from the treetops!
A figure wearing gray-green camouflage uniform, with oil paint on his face and holding a delicate crossbow, was embarrassingly exposed as the camouflage net slipped off.
He obviously didn't expect Ning Xiwan's counterattack to be so precise and "unprecedented". His center of gravity was unstable and he frantically tried to grab the tree trunk next to him to steady himself.
It's this moment!
This was the opportunity she had been waiting for! Without a pause, she leaped out from behind the rock like a cheetah that had been accumulating strength for a long time!
This time, the target was directly aimed at the crossbowman who had lost his cover and was unstable.
Her speed was extremely fast, and she covered the distance of seven or eight meters in the blink of an eye!
