Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

The two Red Soldiers cried out incessantly, their voices hoarse and piercing, like metal scraping against rock, remarkably clear in the stagnant air. They nimbly dodged the icy arrows that rained down from the wall, the sharp whistling of the arrow shafts ripping through the air almost brushing against their fur. Like hyenas scenting blood, they searched the steep, rocky slope for any tiny ridges and cracks they could find to climb, using both hands and feet to scramble towards the summit of the towering, cold stone wall. Each step sent small clouds of gravel and sand tumbling down.

Everyone was very curious. In the previous dozen or so attacks, the Red Soldiers would retreat after most of them were shot down. Unexpectedly, not a single one retreated this time. Now there were only two people left, and they were still climbing up the stone wall without fear of death.

A Yutuo City sergeant shouted, "General Wu, these two Red Soldiers are even more difficult to deal with. It's up to you!"

Ah Qi whispered to Nan Ge, "Who is this General Wu? I think he's a pretty good archer."

Lu Linnan Ge said, "His name is Wu Yuanyou, and he is the best sharpshooter in our Yutuo Army."

Ah Qi had heard of Wu Yuanyou's reputation a long time ago, but this was his first time seeing him. He smiled and said, "Number One Sharpshooter? My archery is pretty accurate, too. How does it compare to this General Wu?"

Lu Lin Nan Ge glared at him and said nothing.

Wu Yuanyou seemed to have heard what Aqi and Lu Linnange were saying. He already had an arrow on his bowstring, but he said, "Take another arrow!"

A soldier next to him immediately took out another arrow and handed it to him.

Wu Yuanyou put the last arrow on the bowstring, and it seemed that he wanted to shoot two arrows at once.

But the two red soldiers suddenly moved closer to each other, pressed tightly together, and then suddenly jumped away. Not only was their position difficult to predict, but they were also three or four feet apart from each other.

Even if the Tianguan is opened, it is not easy to shoot down two with one arrow.

Ah Qi said, "General Wu, I think it's better to shoot them all with one arrow. This is not the time to show off your skills."

Wu Yuanyou's fingers gripped the bowstring firmly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the strain. The bow was stretched to full length, a faint groan emanating from the strained shaft. He held his breath, his gaze darting between the two crimson targets below, which shifted constantly, sometimes closing in and sometimes closing in. To simultaneously kill both targets with a single arrow amidst such treacherous movements was sheer wishful thinking! Even he knew the sheer difficulty of this was as immense as climbing a mountain. Sweat trickled down his tightly pursed lips and from his focused brow.

After he exhaled the last breath, Wu Yuanyou let out a clear whistle, and two feather arrows flew out at the same time.

"Whoosh-!"

The bowstring vibrated violently, the air seemed to rip apart! The two feathered arrows were not fired simultaneously, but almost instantly, leaving the strings and blasting out, transforming into two deadly streaks of light that were difficult for the naked eye to grasp! The sharp sounds of the arrows piercing the air merged into one, carrying with them the screams of death! The next moment, everyone on the city wall saw clearly: one arrow pierced the Claw Clan assassin's brow with incredible precision, piercing the center of his stunned brow; the other arrow, with unerring accuracy, pierced the heart of the Hoof Clan barbarian soldier!

The bodies of the two red soldiers were like being hit by an invisible giant hammer. They froze suddenly, and then the red light in their eyes went out instantly. Their heavy bodies lost all their strength, and they rolled straight down the steep slope, smashing heavily into the pile of corpses of their companions below, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Ah Qi was stunned. He had never imagined that this young man could possess such proficiency in archery. He was far from his match. He decided that after driving the Red Soldier away, he would make a good friend of him.

Ding Qi twirled his beard and said, "Wu Yuanyou is the best archer in Cangmu Country. His reputation is well-deserved."

Seeing Wu Yuanyou's confidence in Ding Qi, Lu Linnange was secretly delighted, as it had earned Yutuo City face. Seeing the remaining Red Soldiers outside the pass still shouting and refusing to leave, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He said, "Some of these Red Soldiers are attacking the city, while others are shouting and making noise. It's like they've divided the work..."

When Ah Qi heard her say, "It seems like there's a division of labor," his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly asked, "Nan Ge, besides this pass leading to Yutuo City, are there any other small paths in Yashan?"

Lu Linnan Ge thought for a moment and said, "There is a small path, but the mountain is very steep and almost no one walks on it. It must have been abandoned long ago."

Ah Qi said anxiously, "As long as there is a path, the Red Soldiers can go. Do you remember where the path is?!"

"A few or a dozen ordinary people should be able to take the side road, but if the Red Soldiers take the side road in large numbers, that's impossible. Even if they do choose to take the side road, they will definitely be discovered by our people."

"What if they've divided up the work, just as you said? These Red Soldiers are pretending to attack the enemy right under our noses and deliberately seeking their own deaths to attract our attention, while the rest of the Red Soldiers are taking a detour and going behind us?!"

Lu Linnan Ge was also stunned, and Aqi said that it was not impossible.

Ding Qi's expression grew visibly serious as he said, "We must be on guard against this. We must immediately arrange for soldiers to patrol Yashan!"

Ah Qi turned around and climbed onto the horse's back, saying, "I'll take the men there right away!"

Lu Linnan Ge said, "I'll go with you."

Ding Qi said, "It's just a tour of inspection in the mountains. There's no need for you, a general and a lieutenant, to go there, right?"

Lu Linnan Ge said, "Yashan is very steep. The Red Soldiers who can easily pass through it must be very powerful. Maybe there are also spiritual generals. I think it's better for Ah Qi and I to go to avoid any accidents."

Aqi said: "That's right!"

Ding Qi thought for a moment and then instructed, "If you spot a large group of Red Army soldiers, do not engage them head-on. Report immediately to the camp!"

The two of them agreed and turned around and left.

It just so happened that the Eighth Team of the Donggen Camp where Aqi had been before was right next to them. Kuang Chuanshan was still the team leader, and the man named Niu Shishu was still there. He called them over and headed towards Yashan on the south side together.
