Chapter 123 Suffering a loss

The thin man remembered that the team had always disliked him. Even if he knew that the other teammates had not returned, what would it matter? If he told the city lord, they might still think he was a deserter who attacked one person and ran away without caring about his teammates.

His legs felt a little weak and he staggered towards the hotel where he was staying, but he still sent an email to He Angge, briefly explaining the situation.

He also emphasized that he had warned other teammates, but they insisted on not coming back.

As for what the city lord who received the email thought, he had no way of knowing. What he had to do now was to go back and make preparations. If the city lord got angry and drove him out, he would have to go to another city-state.

He Ange had just finished chatting with Li Aoting when he saw the email sent by the thin man, saying that Fei Xuyan had arrived, but the other teammates had not returned yet.

He walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and saw the black mass in the sky in the distance.

In fact, he was just about to call the members back, but he didn't expect these flying geese to be so fast.

At this moment, he was no longer paying attention to the person who ran back first, but was contacting the deputy captain to find out his current situation.

The deputy captain was suffering. Some of the flying geese had burrowed into the treetops and started chasing them when they found there were no tempering fruits. There was no chance at all, and they couldn't wait for their teammates who hadn't caught up yet.

Everyone wanted to escape now, so how could they dare to stop and fight with Fei Xuyan?

"Deputy Captain, they are catching up soon!" The man sitting on the back of the deputy captain's bicycle shouted. He was about to cry. He was sitting at the back, and the first one to catch up would peck him.

The vice-captain's forehead veins bulged as he shouted, "Where are the archers? The archers sitting in the back seat, please pay attention to the other teammates!"

The person sitting at the back just remembered that he was the archer. With his slightly trembling hands, he took out the bow and arrow and started shooting at the flying geese chasing after them.

This was an ordinary enhanced monster, and he had to shoot one more arrow to deal with it. Soon, several others caught up and screamed at him, so he could only shoot arrows with tears in his eyes.

But some of the other teammates are not archers, but warriors or shield guards.

On the back of one of the bicycles sat a man wearing a tight, long-sleeved shirt, his clothes bulked out by his muscles.

He grabbed the flying goose that was chasing him with one hand, attacked it several times in a row and threw it away. It was a brown iron level wild monster, which was not easy to deal with, so he had to throw it away first.

Just as they were not far from the vice-captain, the muscular man complained in a rough voice: "Damn, these things will never end!"

At this moment, he envied the thin man. That coward should have returned to the city by now.

The man pedaling in front of the muscular man panted, "Why don't you throw some tempering fruits to them? They come into the treetops to eat them, right? Why not throw a few to hold them back?"

The muscular man thought it made sense. A few more flying geese caught up with him. He took out two tempering fruits, his eyes full of reluctance and heartache.

"Damn it, if I don't succeed, I'll die."

After saying that, he threw the two fruits in two directions respectively. The flying geese chasing them immediately turned their heads, as if chasing the fruits flying in the air.

"It's done! They won't chase us anymore." The muscular man was very happy. Although he lost two tempering fruits, he could get a chance to catch his breath and escape.

"Deputy Captain, throwing a few Refining Fruits can help shake them off. Try throwing them as far as you can!"

Upon hearing this suggestion, the vice-captain took out two tempering fruits from his backpack and gave them to the archer in the back seat without hesitation. "Listen to them and throw this away."

The archer put away his bow, took the two fruits, and threw them with all his might. Sure enough, the flying geese were attracted and turned their heads.

He breathed a sigh of relief and explained the situation to the deputy captain on his bike, "Deputy Captain, they're not chasing us anymore."

The deputy captain felt the pressure suddenly reduced, as long as the method was useful.

He happened to receive an email from the city lord and told him about the situation, which made He Ange feel much more relieved.

The flying geese that turned around to look for fruit to eat, after competing for the tempering fruit, looked up and cried out to the sky, and the group of flying geese flying above seemed to sense something and began to lower their flying altitude.

A few minutes after shaking off Feixuyan, the deputy captain and his men had already seen the city wall.

"We're almost there. I can see the city wall."

"Everyone, work harder, we're almost there."

During the few minutes of escape, they also met people from other teams, and they all huddled together and hurried back.

The bicycle's acceleration effect took effect, and they were one step closer to the city-state.

"ah--"

When the people at the city gate saw the scene outside, they couldn't help but scream.

Even He Ange's face looked very bad.

When the flying geese were about to fly out of the giant forest, they suddenly dived down, and all of them chased the people who were fleeing with a clear target.

"City Lord, fire quickly!"

Some of their family members were among the fleeing crowd, and when they learned that Xuantian City was fighting Feixuyan, they opened fire.

He Ange did not hesitate at this time. He directly put the cannons on the city wall into combat status, automatically aiming at the wild monsters and attacking them.

The people sitting on the back seat saw the dense flock of geese flying behind them, and some were so scared that they started slapping the cyclists and said, "Ride faster, those geese are chasing us."

The people in front were not in the mood to lose their temper, as they were only a few dozen meters away from the city.

Everyone at the city gate was agitated, staring at the distance of several dozen meters that was getting shorter and shorter.

Finally, they rushed into the city one by one, and the cyclists looked back at the scene behind them.

A large number of flying geese crashed into the city-state's protective shield, and they clearly saw the originally transparent shield light up slightly.

I didn't expect the pursuit to be so close, and not in mid-air, but chasing them at low altitude.

If the people in the back seat hadn't thrown a few tempering fruits at the critical moment, one of them might have been knocked down by Feixuyan by now.

A middle-aged ordinary resident ran over and hugged her son, crying, "Son, if you had been surrounded by those monsters just now, I would not have survived!"

The young man who was hugged hugged his mother back with red eyes.

But the densely distributed flying geese outside the city had not left yet, the cannons continued to bombard, and single-attack weapons such as chariot crossbows also began to shoot arrows.

The long-range professional players protected by the protective shield at the city gate attacked Feixuyan together.

Seeing that these flying geese were taking a long time to leave, the people in the city became anxious.

"What's going on? There's no mention anywhere else that all the flying geese will stop at the city-state to attack."

“I don’t know…”

He Ange turned around to look for the deputy captain and the others, only then did he realize that some of them were absent.

"Have the people who are not here gone home?" he asked the deputy captain.

The deputy captain hesitated, lowered his head and didn't dare to look around, let alone the city lord.

He Ange felt something was even more strange in his heart. "I'm asking you."

Under the other party's questioning, the deputy captain wiped his face and said, "We were too anxious to get back, but some of us didn't have bicycles and couldn't run fast... We, we..."

The deputy captain didn't need to say anything specific next. He Ange guessed what would happen to those people as soon as he saw it.

Those who couldn't keep up with their teammates were abandoned. These people ran back on their own first, but he couldn't say anything. If he were there, he probably wouldn't wait for those who couldn't keep up.

He Ange stopped dwelling on this question. He squatted down and asked in a low voice, "What else did you do on the way? Did you really just rely on yourselves to get rid of those monsters?"
