Chapter 1187

In the end, the situation did not develop as the best results Melti expected, but it did not turn into the worst.

Melti and the enemy troops attracted by fireworks and signal flares almost rushed to the vicinity of Rajs' location.

In order to facilitate hiding himself, after launching the firework signal flare, Rajs took Prince Henry to find a very lush bush more than one meter tall and hid it in. The leaves of the extremely dense bush completely covered up their figures.

Prince Henry did not want to drill into such low bushes, which seemed to him a humiliation, but unfortunately, under the threat of Rajs' sword, he had to drill, and after he got in, he had to keep quiet and not be allowed to make any noise.

Because Rajs knew very well that if he made a sound, he would probably attract the attention of Meltie's terrifying auditory exploration and expose his whereabouts.

He deliberately took Prince Henry to hide in place in order to avoid Melty's tracking. If he moved, in this wooded environment, there were dead branches and leaves everywhere, and it was difficult not to make a sound when stepping on it. At the same time, it was difficult not to collide with surrounding plants, leaves and other things when walking, which would also lead to a sound.

Rajs was not sure whether this level of sound would be noticed by Melty's terrifying hearing, but he didn't dare to gamble because Melty's performance when he led them through the woods was really amazing.

Therefore, it is truly wise to find a place to hide, then stay still, and try not to make any movement. Otherwise, if you blindly take Prince Henry to travel, it will be more likely to increase the probability that they are locked in by Melty.

Although the firework signal flare was released, it was actually equivalent to having exposed his position, Rajs was still a little clever. He did not stand under the firework signal flare and wait for reinforcements to come and pick up, just to avoid this.

As long as he hides well, he will not rush to show up after others are attracted by fireworks and signal flares. He will first observe the identity of the visitor. It will not be too late to come out after confirming that the person who came is his own reinforcements.

If the first ones are Melti and the White Rose Knights, he can continue to hide. As long as he insists on waiting for the reinforcements sent by Country B, he will naturally gain an advantage with the support of reinforcements and no longer have to worry about the danger of being besieged by the White Rose Knights.

However, Rajs thought it was pretty good, but he underestimated the speed of Melty's arrival and seriously underestimated Melty's perceptual and reconnaissance ability.

Although they hid in the dense bushes where they could not see their fingers, they could hardly see them with their naked eyes, and they also maintained a forbidden posture of trying not to make any sound.

But after Melty arrived near the location where the fireworks signal flares were raised, she actually noticed their traces.

Although Rajs and Prince Henry did not make any sound, this was just what they thought. In Melty's perception, the breathing and heartbeat sounds made from them clearly provided powerful data for Cui to distinguish and calculate the positions of the two.

If it is at a relatively long distance, Melti and Cui really cannot directly lock the two people's positions based on heartbeats and breathing sounds alone. After all, although these two sounds do exist, they are indeed too weak, and they are in an environment like the jungle that has a relatively strong absorption and barrier effect on sound waves.

Unfortunately, the firework signal flare helped Melty very much and helped her roughly define the positions of Rajs and the others.

In order to be able to discover and converge with other reinforcements as soon as they follow the guidance of the fireworks signal flare, Rajs did not stay too far away from the initial release position of the fireworks signal flare.

Therefore, when Melty approached the position indicated by the fireworks signal flare, he was also closer to Rajs and the others.

When the distance between the two sides was close enough, when the jungle's hindering effect on the propagation of low-decibel sound waves became less intense under the short distance, the breathing and heartbeat of Rajs and the others were naturally captured by Melti and Cui.

It is precisely because with Cui's help, she could sense such a subtle sound and clean it up and distinguish it, so Melti was able to lead the team through the dense forest and easily solve the poisonous insects and beasts hiding in the dense forest and waiting for an opportunity to attack them in advance. Because the closer it is to her, the harder it is to hide any movement around her.

"Are you there..."

When he was still more than fifty meters away, Melti successfully locked in the bushes where Rajs and the others were hiding, and then immediately slowed down his movements and began to climb onto a thick tree trunk that was more than five meters above the ground. He moved silently throughout the process, carefully avoiding the attention of Rajs, who must be very nervous at this moment.

She could not let her figure appear in Rajs's sight, especially Rajs could not let her see the iron stringed bow on her body. Otherwise, according to the wisdom of the experienced veteran, she would probably guess the fact that Litt had fallen behind the pad.

Once Rajs sees the iron string bow in Melti's hand and becomes prepared, it will be basically impossible for Melti to save people unexpectedly like when dealing with Lit before, and it will face great difficulty.

Melty silently took out the arrow from the arrow pouch. As soon as she took the bow and put the arrow on, her eyes slightly condensed and turned her gaze to other directions.

"...have you all been here? Then you can move faster."

Through Cui's assistance, Melti had noticed that there were people approaching around him, and there were still a large number. Forty or fifty people had stepped into a radius of 500 meters centered on the firework signal flare release point before Rajs, and more people were rushing here from a distance!

Among them, the distance between the closest people and the bushes where Rajs was hiding has been shortened to less than fifty meters. It only takes half a minute to continue until they meet each other.

Melty would never allow that kind of thing to happen. So, she had to take the lead.

Of course, her first target of attack was Rajs. After all, Prince Henry was still hijacked by him. If Melty attacked others first, Rajs would be more vigilant after he noticed the movement.

The iron string bow is very powerful, but it is too dynamic when used, which is an inevitable defect. With this bow, Melty is destined to be unable to perfectly hide himself.

Slowly pulling the bowstring, Melti's eyes were as quiet as water, staring at the bush on the ground dozens of meters away.

From the perspective of the pupil, the virtual assistive line provided by Cui began to be constructed.

Although the bushes were dense, it was still unlikely that the whole body of the two old men would be perfectly covered. There would always be a small gap.

These gaps are really small. If you look at them in ordinary people, they are not enough to make an accurate judgment on the target state in the bushes based on the little scenes leaking from these gaps.

Moreover, Rajs and Prince Henry were wearing the camouflage clothes that were temporarily woven with leaves and vines when the team was walking through the woods at the beginning.

She was wearing this layer of camouflage that could almost perfectly integrate with the grass leaves of the plants, and mixed under the dense bushes. Even if someone happened to stare at this bushes, it was difficult to notice that something was strange inside.

This is also the main reason why Rajs hid in with confidence. As he observed, Melty was just so keen that he could be called inhuman, but he did not show too exaggerated vision.

As for other White Rose Knights, they do not have the kind of inhuman eyesight that is terrifying and inhuman. Even if Captain Roths has exercised his bow skills and his eyesight is stronger than ordinary people, he is actually very limited.

Unfortunately, Rajs obviously underestimated Meltie, and seriously underestimated how much help Cui, who was staying in Meltie's body, provided her with her.

Even though Melti's extraordinary power and physical fitness were sealed, her foundation was still there, and her various abilities were still at the limit of mortals. This is true for hearing and vision.

Through the gaps of the scales and half claws revealed between the leaves of the shrub, Melty could clearly see the scene inside.

Just a distance of only a few dozen meters, she could even clearly distinguish the shape and color differences of each leaf in the bush.

And the camouflage clothes that Rajs relied on were not as reliable as he thought.

Perhaps this layer of camouflage is indeed very effective for others, but in the eyes of Melty, who can distinguish the differences in leaves from such a distance, the significant difference between the leaves and the shape of the grass blades used in the layer of camouflage is a very obvious flaw.

However, Melty was not in a hurry to take action.

Because there is another serious problem - she has not successfully locked in Rajs' key position at this moment.

Melty must ensure that Rajs can be killed in seconds, and that he cannot leave any remaining force to resist, otherwise Prince Henry, who is close to him, will inevitably be in danger of being attacked by his counterattack. For this reason, her first arrow must directly attack Rajs' fatal key.

But Melty had to admit that the concealment of the bushes did play some role in this regard.

At least, through the bushes, Melty could only determine whether there was a person hidden inside, but she could not determine where the person's head was, where the chest was, and where the neck was...

In this case, if an arrow is shot directly, Melty can only guarantee that he will hit the target, but it is hard to say which part of the target can be shot.

Fortunately, Cui's assistance is still very powerful in this situation.

"Master, please give me a few seconds." Cui's voice came to her mind.

[You have a way?] Melty asked curiously in her heart.

"Well, I want to extract the image impression information of the camouflage clothes on Rajs and Prince Henry in your previous memory, and then compare the image information with the pictures captured now. Based on the colors and textures of the leaves on the camouflage clothes in the currently captured picture, we can analyze the human body parts to which it belongs at this moment."

[Can you even do this kind of thing...?] Melty couldn't help but say in surprise.

"For our intelligent brains, this is just a trivial matter." Cui responded modestly, then remained silent for three or four seconds, and suddenly said: "Okay."

As the words fell, from Melty's perspective, two human-shaped outline drawings with half-squatting on the ground appeared on the bush.

Based on the body characteristics, Melty instantly determined which of the two human figures belonged to Rajs.

At the same time, the virtual auxiliary line of the long-lost arrow trajectory also appeared in Melty's eyes again.

【very good.】

Melty was slightly happy and immediately adjusted the angle of the arrow according to the correction of the auxiliary line, and then let go of the bowstring between his fingers without hesitation.

"Bang--!" Accompanied by the crisp sound of iron wire, the two arrows instantly carried a terrifying force and broke through the air.

Without surprise, Rajs, who was hiding in the bushes, could not react to what had happened, and an arrow suddenly fell from the sky penetrated from the face and through his eye sockets into his brain.

At the same time, he was originally holding a dagger and pointing at Prince Henry's neck, but at this moment he was hit on his wrist by another sudden arrow and was taken away.

It was only because Rajs looked out from the gaps between the branches and leaves of the bushes in order to observe the outside world in the bushes. Therefore, his eyes changed and appeared in Melti's vision capture range. With this best choice, Melti was naturally not polite.

I asked Cui to help analyze it before, just to determine his hands movements, so as to prevent Prince Henry, who may be hijacked and clamped by him, was injured when he was killed because of triggering his body's stress response.

"This...this is...!"

Prince Henry looked at Rajs who was suddenly dead beside him and was stunned. After he realized, his eyes were filled with horror, and he was almost scared to get out of the bushes.

But Melti had no intention of taking care of his emotions, because with the arrow of the iron string bow, the loud vibration of the bowstring had completely exposed her.

The dozens of enemy soldiers who had surrounded him in the dense forest immediately noticed the movement.

"Who is it!"

"This is...archer!!"

"Be careful, there is an ambush over there!"

"Come on, kill me!"
