Chapter 21: Stealing Hearts and Camps (Three)

  Shangguan Bing'er, although only sixteen years old, had already developed quite well. This tight-fitting dress accentuated her curves, and the lines of her figure made Zhou Weiqing's eyes widen in surprise, his gaze becoming somewhat abnormal.

  "Hey, what are you looking at?" Shangguan Bing'er's pretty face turned red as she patted him on the shoulder. "You walk in front, don't look around randomly." Zhou Weiqing's scorching gaze made her heart skip a beat.

  Zhou Weiqing only felt a surge of excitement and joy, thinking to himself that such a beautiful girl was already his? How did he not realize it that day? He really was too silly.

  The attribute wheel spun to the cyan region, on his right wrist was an icy mist wrapped ice-type jade body bead, while on his left wrist was a rose-red bottom changing stone cat eye intent bead at night. Zhou Weiqing's speed suddenly increased, and he flew forward rapidly.

  Shangguan Bing'er also released her own Life Pearl at the same time and had it follow behind him.

  Originally, Guan Ice thought that with this long-distance sprint, Zhou Weiqing's speed might be a bit slower, and if not, she would bring him along. However, after the two of them unfolded their forms, she was surprised to find that Zhou Weiqing's linear speed was actually no worse than hers, an Intense Jewel Master with full attributes.

  Because she was observing from behind, it didn't take long for Guan Ice to discover the crux of the problem. Zhou Weiqing's speed wasn't slow either, but compared to hers, there was still a significant gap. The secret to his swift running lay in his right leg. Every time his left leg touched the ground to accelerate, his body merely maintained its balance, but when his right leg touched the ground, he shot out like an arrow. Therefore, although Zhou Weiqing's running speed was fast, it was a series of forward surges, not linear acceleration.

  "Xiao Pang, your right leg?" Shangguan Bing'er released her condensed Wind Boots, and a pair of cyan gas-like long boots appeared under her feet, allowing her to steadily surpass Zhou Weiqing in speed.

  Wu Qingsheng tilted his head to look at Shangguan Fei'er following closely behind him, and chuckled: "Isn't it great? My legs are all very powerful now. This seems to be another benefit from that black pearl. Do you still remember how I suddenly felt severe pain all over my body that day, but then hugged you and felt better? It was during that time, my right leg seemed to have undergone some changes." To his own woman, he naturally wouldn't hide anything, simply telling her about the judgment he had made regarding his right leg.

  Shangguan Bing'er suddenly realized that it was no wonder he had refused to leave before, and had always followed the main army. It turned out that he had been adapting to this right leg all along.

  She was originally a bit nervous about this sneak attack, after all, Zhou Weiqing's speed was not enough to escape, but now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary.

  The three hundred miles of road was traversed in a little over an hour under the all-out acceleration of both.

  "Xiao Pang, if we go any further, we'll reach the enemy's outpost." Shang Guan Yan stopped in her tracks and looked at Zhou Weiqing.

  Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: "Let's take a rest first, you can also recover your Heavenly Energy."

  The two of them found a secluded spot to recover their energy. Although Zhou Weiqing's cultivation was far inferior to Shangguan Fei'er, the subtleties of the Undying Heaven Technique allowed him to absorb a large amount of heaven and earth origin power from the air during his previous sprint. The consumption of more than two hours of running wasn't great, and he recovered in just a short while.

  These days, he basically figured out the speed of his own non-death divine skill recovery. In the case of fully activating the death hole vortex, from complete exhaustion to full recovery of heavenly power, it would take about half a time unit, which is a pretty astonishing speed. To think that even Tianzhu masters need at least one time unit or more.

  After recovering from the exhaustion, the two stood up again.

  "According to the information we received, Keresi's sentry post is changed about every two hours. Now it's almost at midnight, and in half an hour, they will change shifts again." said Shangguan Bing'er.

  Zhou Weiqing thought for a moment, then said: "Alright, let's wait another half an hour until they change shifts and then take action. Avoid the main gate, sneak up on the night watch, with your silent tracking arrows plus my assistance from the side, we shouldn't be discovered by the enemy. Once we infiltrate the military camp, we'll strike once and retreat."

  "Good." For the first time, they were going to work together in a real sense, and with only the two of them coming to steal the camp, Ou Yangzi was still somewhat nervous. She glanced at Zhou Xing beside her and found that although he was also a rookie, he was much more calm than herself. Faintly, she could see a faint glimmer of evil intent flashing in his eyes from time to time.

  Zhou Weiqing undoubtedly benefited from the black pearl, but his own personality was also affected by the powerful black pearl. Thinking about the impending slaughter, this young man didn't show a hint of fear or tension, instead he felt somewhat excited.

  Half an hour later, two figures moved stealthily into action.

  It's easy to avoid the open roads, just quietly bypass them by walking along the edges of hills and small paths.

  After bypassing two bright sentry posts, Zhou Weiqing suddenly pulled up Xue Bing'er and crouched down. "Wait a minute."

  "Huh?" Officer Bing'er quickly removed the Zi Chen Bow from her back.

  "Quietly, Zhou Weiqing said: 'Fifty paces to the left front, there is a hidden sentry post with three people. I'll sneak over and you take care of the one on the left side, leaving the remaining two for me.'"

  What a strong perception. Xie Binglan was secretly shocked, with her two-bead cultivation not yet sensing it, Zhou Weiqing had actually discovered that on the edge of this hillside, near the thicket, within thirty paces, it was very difficult to detect any traces.

  Zhou Weiqing handed over to Shangguan Bing'er, and then quietly slipped away from the side. At the same time, Shangguan Bing'er also moved, floating onto a tree, like a wisp of green smoke advancing on the branches without making a sound. After jumping over three large trees, she finally saw the three black-clad scouts.

  In order not to make a sound, she slowly drew her purple bow, the arrow pointing directly at one person on the left, waiting for Zhou Weiqing to make his move.

  At this moment, she suddenly saw a figure as agile as a cheetah, like lightning, rushing straight to the back of the three scouts.

  At this moment, Shangguan Bing'er only felt that there seemed to be a voice in the dark commanding herself, releasing the bowstring, and with a whoosh, the arrow had already shot out.

  Above, Officer Bing's skill with the bow and arrow was intentionally stealthy, how could ordinary soldiers have a chance to dodge? With a soft "poof" sound, the feathered arrow had already penetrated his brain. The dark sentinel on the left couldn't even let out a miserable cry, his body tilted and fell down.

  The other two scouts had just realized something was wrong when a large hand appeared on the back of each of their necks at the same time, followed by a strong force that pressed their heads fiercely into the mud, accompanied by the sound of their cervical vertebrae shattering.
