Shengjing Noble

Chapter 421 Pursuit

Chu Yan stared at the woods in front of him, his palms were full of sweat, and even the hilt of his sword was slipping a little.

suddenly!

A black shadow fell from the sky, accompanied by a deafening "bear roar", and smashed directly on Chu Yan's head.

Fortunately, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Before he could react, his body had already moved. He rolled to the side swiftly and successfully avoided the bear's pounce.

However, the bear was too big, and it swung its strong arms and hit Chu Yan's ankle heavily.

"what!"

The screams were vaguely mixed with the sound of bones breaking.

After grabbing Chu Yan's legs, the black bear lifted him up. At the critical moment, a sharp arrow flew out from the jungle and hit the black bear's left eye.

"Ouch!"

With a roar, the black bear threw Chu Yan out.

He closed his eyes and waited for the pain of being thrown to the ground, but unexpectedly fell into a soft embrace.

It was Su Shengyan who rode up and caught him.

"I'm injured. You can't kill it by yourself. Run!"

"Okay! Just bear with it for a while, and I'll take you out to find the imperial physician!"

"No! If you leave the examination room, it will be considered as a forfeit. Just leave me outside the beast area."

"We are allies. Even if I give up the martial arts exam, I can't abandon you!"

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Shengyan to say such a thing.

Because the most common thing he has heard since he was a child is that no matter what you encounter, you must focus on winning.

Therefore, he can do anything to win.

This time, he originally wanted to use Su Shengyan as bait, but when he thought about the fact that he saved his life, it was hard for him to say such words.

In the end, he felt that he should pay him back once, so that he would not feel owed anything anymore.

But in the end, he actually had to give up the martial arts examination for his own sake.

So, with this calculation, how should I pay him back?

"No! You can't give up. I can do it on my own."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's deal with this bear first!"

Chu Yan looked back and saw that the bear was chasing them relentlessly.

"Bears are the most vengeful animals. I shot one of its eyes blind, and it won't let it go."

After Su Shengyan finished speaking, he looked at him and asked, "Can you still ride a horse?"

"it should be OK!"

Chu Yan still had one leg that could be used, so as long as he held the reins, riding a horse would not be a problem.

"Then you control the horse and I'll handle it."

"it is good!"

Chu Yan immediately grabbed the reins, and Su Shengyan turned around and rode the horse backwards, using his legs to tightly clamp the horse's body to maintain balance.

Then, he drew his bow and aimed the arrow at the bear's other eye.

With a "whoosh" sound, the long arrow flew out.

Just when the arrow was about to hit the black bear's left eye, it swung its huge paw and knocked the arrow away.

But unexpectedly, Su Shengyan actually shot several arrows in a row.

The black bear was caught off guard and couldn't keep up with the speed, so it was shot in the left eye and became completely blind. It ran around madly, slapping everything around it with its paws.

A medium-sized tree was broken in half by it, which is enough to show how strong it is.

Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought: Fortunately, only my feet were hit, not my upper body.

Otherwise, he was afraid that all his internal organs would be broken.

"It's now!"

Su Shengyan let out a low growl and drew the bow again, this time aiming the arrow at the bear's heart.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh", three arrows were fired at the same time, hitting the black bear's head, chest and abdomen respectively.

"Ow..."

The black bear howled in pain, then fell heavily to the ground, not breathing.

The two men on horseback finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shot!"

"Great!"

Chu Yan excitedly turned his horse around and walked to the black bear with Su Shengyan.

"The bear's head is too big to take back, so just chop off its paws."

"Okay, let's do it."

Both of them were very happy, but it seemed that their happiness was a little too early.

Just as he was about to chop off the bear's paw, a terrifying tiger roar suddenly sounded in his ears.

All the animals in the forest fled, and even the birds in the trees flew into the sky and disappeared.

The woods were once again filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

"Oh no, it's a tiger!"

Su Shengyan and Chu Yan looked at each other, and without even having time to chop the bear's paws, they immediately jumped on their horses.

But before they could leave, the tiger appeared not far behind them.

"Isn't this tiger in another forest? How did it run into the bear's territory?"

There is a map of the hunting ground, with bear forest and tiger forest specially planned, one in the south and one in the north, in completely two directions.

"I don't care about that anymore, just run away first!"

Su Shengyan put his arm around Chu Yan, held his hand tightly, grabbed the reins together, and spurred the horse into a gallop.

The cold wind whistled past, and the tiger behind him caught up with him in a few steps. The tiger's roar rang in his ears, and even the horse was frightened and lost its way.

Chu Yan watched the tiger getting closer and closer to them, knowing that if this continued, neither of them would be able to escape.

So he made up his mind and shouted, "This horse may not be able to escape with the two of us, why don't you put me down..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish his words, Su Shengyan stopped him sternly.

"Since we are allies, we should escape together. Otherwise, how can I explain to your parents?"

Chu Yan lowered his eyes, with endless loneliness in his eyes.

His parents were more concerned about whether he could win glory and bring them benefits.

It doesn't matter whether he is alive, dead, or half-alive.

However, Su Shengyan's firm attitude touched him.

No one has ever been so kind to him.

"Brother Su, thank you."

He said this from the bottom of his heart, but Su Shengyan did not react, or perhaps he did not hear it at all.

After all, all I could hear were the sounds of the wind and the roars of tigers.

The tiger gathered its strength and leaped up, slapping the horse on its butt.

Su Shengyan was prepared and jumped into a big tree not far away while holding Chu Yan.

The tiger pinned the horse down and bit its neck off.

But it seemed to have no interest in the horse. It raised its eyes and stared at the two people in the tree with murderous eyes.

"What's going on? It seems that this tiger's target is us two?" Chu Yan was puzzled.

Su Shengyan's eyes turned slightly, he lowered his head and touched his body, then took out a sachet.

It was the one that Su Lanyin had placed under his pillow before.

"Why is there an extra hole on this sachet?" Chu Yan asked.

Su Shengyan brought the sachet close to his nose and sniffed it. The smell was very different from before. Someone must have put something else in it!

"This tiger is coming for me. I will be responsible for luring it away. You just wait on this tree. Someone will definitely come to rescue you."

"No! Can't you just throw away the sachet?" Chu Yan grabbed him, his eyes full of nervousness.

Su Shengyan said: "No, the scent of the sachet has already stained my body, and the tiger will chase me relentlessly. But you are fine, you just need to stay here."

After saying that, he forcefully pushed Chu Yan's hand away and flew to another big tree.

Sure enough, the tiger also followed Su Shengyan and changed direction, chasing after him, jumping up and climbing up the tree trunk with its sharp claws.
