Du Guang was really worried about what the scout had just said, that the enemy had disappeared, so he was still lying in the woods with a serious expression.
He didn't pay any attention to the ants crawling across his hands.
The soldiers around him did the same. When they got tired of watching, they rubbed their eyes from time to time.
But he didn't expect that just as he was about to put his hand down, he was interrupted by a sound breaking through the air.
"Shua!" was the sound of a spear thrusting.
Fortunately, Du Guang reacted very quickly and used his size advantage to quickly pull the soldiers beside him away.
The half of the person who was pulled away also reacted instantly and shouted: "Here!"
"It's the enemy!"
But it was too late. Many torches were lit up around the trenches in the dense forest, emitting an orange-yellow light.
It has a bit of the smell of burning pine resin.
Du Guang's eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn't believe it - they were surrounded so easily.
It has only been an hour since the enemy landed on the island, and they have surrounded them all!
Looking at the number of people around him, Du Guang took a deep breath, looked up at the woman in black armor in front of him, and spoke in a resolute voice.
"We lost, you can kill us if you want!"
Tong Xin's expression remained unchanged and he looked calm.
He just moved aside to make room for Ji Wan, who was supported by Yang Guan and successfully came in front of this person.
Walking in the dense forest was not very friendly to Ji Wan, a disabled person. He walked for half a minute, taking deep steps and shallow steps, before finally reaching the outside of the circle where half of the people were surrounded.
She lowered her head and saw Du Guang at the edge, leaning on the ground with his arms stretched out, his dirty palms tightly gripping the ground, veins bulging.
The entire lower body disappeared, and even the things used for excretion and reproduction disappeared without a trace.
His eyes were fixed on her, and the tip of his nose was covered in sweat.
The ground where he had been standing for a long time was already stained red with blood, and he looked like an injured, disabled, and dying old wolf.
Behind them were all the disabled pirates. They leaned against each other, holding long sticks, hoes, kitchen knives, and bows and arrows in their hands.
Ji Wan frowned.
This group of people had no armor and no equipment except bows and arrows. No wonder there were so many arrows and they also used large-scale city defense equipment.
They were all disabled people, and even when surrounded by people, they remained calm and did not panic.
They are quite disciplined.
"Are you the leader here?" she asked in a flat tone.
Du Guang stared at Ji Wan angrily, his eyes fixed on her. "I'm the leader here? What do you want?!"
Ji Wan snorted and laughed when he saw this, and felt that he had a vision of a kitten about to be captured by humans.
Without any real resistance, he could only breathe out with all his might and grimacing.
Threaten humans not to take action.
Thinking of this, Ji Wan waved his hand and said, "Go check and see if these pirates have done anything unscrupulous on the island."
Tong Xin was silent, bowed, and then turned around to go with Ding Wu to check the place where these pirates were staying and resting.
Ji Wan squatted down and looked directly at the half-man in front of him: "What's wrong with your legs?"
Du Guang's eyes followed Ji Wan's figure. He saw Ji Wan squatting in front of him with a dazed look on his face. Then, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"None of your business! Kill us if you want! We'd rather die than become playthings for you, a bunch of aristocratic family bastards!"
Ji Wan raised her eyebrows. A child of aristocratic family?
Who are you talking about?
"Aren't you Cui's private soldiers?"
Du Guang was startled, and then he said viciously: "We are private soldiers, so what?
It's all your fault, you guys from aristocratic families, otherwise how could we have fallen to this point!"
Ji Wan shrugged, not understanding where this man's anger towards the boy from an aristocratic family came from.
etc?
Are you so angry at the son of a noble family?
"What did Cui Xia do to you?"
Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned Cui Xia's name, the expressions of this group of half-people were suddenly filled with anger.
They didn't even need to hide their anger, and it instantly made it clear that they must have suffered a lot of injustices at the hands of Cui Xia.
She cast her eyes on the ground that had just been smeared red with Du Guang's blood, and then turned to the unbandaged legs of these half-humans.
His tone was a bit more cold and stern: "Cui Xia cut off all your lower bodies?"
Du Guang's face darkened. Although he was surprised that the woman in front of him could guess the truth based on clues, he was embarrassed by the mention of something that made him embarrassed.
Or just keep your mouth shut and say nothing.
When Ji Wan saw this, he looked more understanding.
He was able to refute angrily just now, but now he has kept his mouth shut.
It seems that her guess is almost right. Even if it is not that accurate, it should at least be related.
Thinking of this, her expression remained unchanged as she dropped another bombshell: "Is there a cultivator around him?"
Du Guang's expression finally showed a hint of shock, and he blurted out, "How did you know?"
After saying that, he wanted to bite off his tongue.
No, that's not right. That hateful Cui Xia treated them like this. It doesn't matter even if they are killed by the person in front of them!
Death is even better! Revenge for these innocent people!
Ji Wan smiled and said: "Your wounds look very neat, how can a normal person have such great strength to cut you in half with one move.
Besides, you are not dead yet, who would believe that no immortal cultivators contributed to this?"
After she finished speaking, she paused and said in a playful tone: "Let me guess what happened to you?
Well... Cui Xia himself was seriously injured.
Or perhaps it was his own lower body that was cut in half.
Then he fled to you, and you bandaged Cui Xia and treated his wounds.
But you didn't expect that after you saved his life, Cui Xia used you as a plaything to vent his selfish desires?
As for keeping you here, it's because after you die, Cui Xia and that immortal cultivator will know my location."
Having said this, she observed the expressions of the half-surrounded people.
Only then did I confirm that my guess this time was probably almost right.
As for why I guess so?
Of course, she had placed a lot of explosive packs at the south gate of Zhengyang City before.
During that chaotic period of war, she couldn't think of anyone else who dared to leave the city except Cui Xia.
And the explosive pack was confirmed to have been triggered and exploded.
It is not difficult to guess that Cui Xia was probably injured.
But since this person was injured and fled, she didn't believe that there was no one around him.
Combined with the fact that Cui Xia was able to turn all the people on the island into such symbolic half-people.
It was probably because his lower body was blown off, so he took out his anger on the people on the island.
However, she could not find Cui Xia even when she was moving at full speed. Looking back and considering the strange phenomenon of the wounds on the people on the island, it was not difficult to guess that there was a cultivator helping Cui Xia.
After listening to what Ji Wan said, Du Guang silently lowered his eyes to the ground and no longer looked at Ji Wan.
The voice was low: "Who are you?"
