Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 90 Falling off a cliff

Gu Qingyue was lost in thought when she heard Mu Nan call out, "Qingyue."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue stood up and quickly walked towards Mu Nan.

"You go first," Mu Yun Chu ordered the men in black beside her, and they quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Gu Qingyue had just walked up to them when she heard those words.

"Qingyue, you two come with me," Mu Yun Chu said, turning around to look at Gu Qingyue and Mu Nan standing behind her.

"Okay," Gu Qingyue nodded. No matter what she was going to do, she could only obey orders and didn't care where she was going.

Gu Qingyue packed her things and followed Mu Yun Chu southward.

A wind blew in the dark night, rustling the leaves in the dense forest.

The three of them had been walking all afternoon, and now that it was dark, Gu Qingyue really wanted to give a big thumbs up to the tall figure ahead of them who was still moving forward.

These two people showed no signs of fatigue. In fact, they weren't too tired, but their bodies were still relatively young, and carrying a large bag for several hours had made their bones a little stiff.

Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, and taking advantage of the fact that the two people in front of her did not turn around, she put her right hand behind her back, under her backpack, and gently released a trace of healing energy.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, my whole body felt refreshed and relaxed; it was incredibly comfortable.

Before he could finish gloating, Mu Yun Chu pulled him by the arm and made him squat on the ground.

anyone?

The three of them crouched down, hiding behind waist-high grass, holding their breath and observing secretly.

Gu Qingyue used her spiritual power to look around and saw three men in black about thirty meters away, with curved swords at their waists, walking along the forest towards a towering stone wall not far away.

It's obvious that they're with the group from noon.

Gu Qingyue drew a conclusion.

As the three walked away, Gu Qingyue was about to get up and follow them when she saw three men in black following them from the left front. Weren't these the 'our own people' from noon?

Only when the people in front had walked far enough away that Gu Qingyue could no longer hear them did the three of them get up.

Fifteen minutes later, the three encountered an unprecedented obstacle.

Looking at the dark, deep cliff in front of her, Mu Yun Chu frowned.

"Master, I'll go down and take a look first," Mu Nan said softly.

Mu Yun Chu looked around, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

Mu Nan tucked his longsword into his waistband, took out a long rope from his bundle, tied it to a thick tree trunk by the ditch, and then pulled on the rope to reach down.

As Mu Yun Chu watched Mu Nan gradually disappear from sight, she turned to look at Gu Qing Yue. Seeing the slight weariness on the young man's face, she said, "You should rest for a while. We'll wait for news from him."

Gu Qingyue's curiosity reached its peak at this moment. What exactly were they looking for? A person? An object?

Gu Qingyue nodded, sat down cross-legged, took out a dry biscuit from her backpack, and handed it to Mu Yun Chu, "Have this to eat first. I didn't eat dinner, this is all I have."

Mu Yun Chu didn't hesitate, reached out and took it, leaned against the tree trunk, and silently began to eat.

Gu Qingyue shrugged, picked up one, and started eating it.

Half an hour passed, and Mu Nan still hadn't come up. Mu Yun Chu looked at the rope hanging by the ditch, squatted down, and looked down.

'Whoosh------'

Suddenly, a gust of wind came from behind him. Mu Yun Chu grabbed the rope beside him and spun around nimbly. An arrow just grazed past him and fell into the ditch.

Upon seeing this, Gu Qingyue was shocked. She immediately stood up, raised her dagger, and rushed towards Mu Yun Chu.

Before they even got close, 'whoosh whoosh whoosh--------', countless feathered arrows flew from the darkness, and for a moment a strong wind raged, with whistling sounds one after another. An arrow grazed Gu Qingyue's ear, and a strand of hair was cut off by the arrow tip, drifting slowly to the ground.

In the nick of time, the chirping of insects in the forest seemed to fall silent, leaving only black figures flying through the forest, carrying a sharp killing intent.

Gu Qingyue deeply regretted not paying attention to the sounds in the distance while resting, but it was too late for regrets. She could only grip the dagger and dodge left and right.

Mu Yun Chu, standing beside her, brandished her soft sword, swiftly and deftly blocking the area in front of her, creating an impenetrable barrier. She appeared calm and composed, which made Gu Qing Yue extremely envious.

She should have practiced swordsmanship more. She had learned the Willow Leaf Double Swords from her master, but she was always too busy to practice.

If you carry a longsword with you, it will be much easier to swing it and block the arrows.

But there's no going back in life, so all we can do is try our best.

Gu Qingyue and Mu Yunchu charged left and right, but the arrows kept flying continuously.

Gu Qingyue cursed inwardly. These perverts were relentless. They were clearly trying to drive the two of them into a ditch. How shameless!

After holding out for a while, Mu Yun Chu spoke up: "Let's go down!"

"Okay!" Gu Qingyue answered crisply!

"Grab it! Jump!" Mu Yun Chu shouted.

Just as the two grabbed the rope and jumped, a golden arrow whistled through the depths of the forest, carrying a strong wind and a violent chill, incredibly sharp!

Like a ray of cold light from hell in the dark night, it pierced through the frigid air, leaving only a chilling, bone-deep cold.

When Gu Qingyue caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, it was too late to raise her dagger to block it; she quickly turned around.

With a 'whoosh-------', the golden arrow, carrying the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, pierced through Gu Qingyue's left shoulder. A streak of blood shot out, drawing an eerie arc in the darkness. Gu Qingyue staggered backward uncontrollably.

The next instant, the two disappeared from the spot.

The wind whistled through the mountains and fields, and Gu Qingyue felt disoriented for a moment, unsure of where she was. The moment the golden arrow pierced her body, the immense pain spread throughout her body, leaving Gu Qingyue in a daze, as if she were in a dream.

A cold wind blew against her face, and Gu Qingyue jolted awake, realizing she was falling. Behind her was a burning hot body, and a large, iron-like hand was wrapped around her waist. The force was so strong that Gu Qingyue almost screamed. She couldn't tell if the pain was in her waist or her shoulder; she just felt pain all over her body.

"Mu Yun Chu!" Gu Qing Yue called his name urgently, "Go away, let me go!"

Behind her, Mu Yun Chu remained unmoved, his eyes blazing, tightly gripping Gu Qing Yue's waist, searching for a place to lean on.

Gu Qingyue was so anxious she wanted to curse. She raised the dagger in her hand and tried with all her might to plunge it into the cliff face in front of her. 'Sizzle------', a series of sparks burst from the tip of the dagger. Damn it, it was a rock wall!

At that moment, Mu Yun Chu noticed a protruding rock under her feet. As she fell, she used her toes to push off and grabbed a withered vine diagonally in front of her.

'Whoosh------'

The thick roots of the withered vine could not support the weight of the two people and were pulled out of the rock wall. Just as it was about to break, Mu Yun Chu let go and rushed down the bottomless cliff.

With the stones and withered vines cushioning their fall, the two landed steadily on the ground.

Gu Qingyue's mind went blank for a moment. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she slumped to the ground. Mu Yun Chu, who had just let go, immediately wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly.

"Qingyue, Qingyue!" Mu Yun Chu called out twice, looking at the boy's hazy eyes in her arms.

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Qingyue regained her senses, and her eyes gradually cleared.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Gu Qingyue's face was pale and she looked extremely weak.

She caught her breath, straightened up, and Mu Yun Chu released her grip at the opportune moment.

He looked around and saw dark, waist-high grass, and in the distance, rolling mountain peaks that looked like menacing monsters in the darkness, as if they would pounce at any moment.

"How is your injury? Can you still hold on? Let's find a place to treat it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue nodded, "I can manage, let's go."

"it is good".
