Sheathing his longsword, the leader said coldly, "Let's see who dares to surrender; this is their fate!"
“But…but that snow demon…” one of the bandits said in a trembling voice.
"You've done so many evil deeds, surrendering will only lead to your death. You might as well follow me and fight your way out."
The leader's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "I want to see just how powerful these demons and monsters are! Load the bows and arrows!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing the order, all the bandits picked up their bows and arrows and aimed them at the helicopter.
Seeing this, Ji Minxiu sighed and slowly lowered the helicopter.
He then told Yun Hongcheng and Yun Zhourong, "Be prepared for battle."
"But Lady Snow Demon, they now have bows and arrows. Isn't it too dangerous for us to continue like this?"
Yun Hongcheng looked down at the countless arrows gleaming with a cold light and swallowed hard.
"Don't worry, the only thing the Great Sheng Dynasty can damage a helicopter is a large catapult, but we came suddenly, and they had no time to prepare."
Ji Minxiu said calmly, "As for the bows and arrows, they can't even penetrate your protective suits, let alone this machine."
"Alright, alright, then we can rest assured!" Upon hearing this, Yun Zhourong and Yun Hongcheng were finally at ease.
"It's coming down! That giant bird is coming down!"
Upon seeing the helicopter land, all the bandits instinctively retreated in fear.
"What are you afraid of? Fire the arrows immediately!" Upon seeing this, the chief immediately gave the order.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Instantly, countless arrows rained down on the helicopter like a deluge.
All the bandits watched the helicopter intently, awaiting the outcome.
"Ding ding ding..."
Then, the scene before them made them all stare in horror.
Because all the arrows were deflected and landed on the ground, while the strange bird was completely unharmed and landed steadily.
"No...no...that strange bird is invulnerable to swords and spears!"
Seeing this, the bandits were terrified and all wanted to retreat and escape.
"Anyone who dares to run, I'll be the first to chop them up."
The leader quickly issued another order, "This time, launch a rocket! I refuse to believe we can't burn it!"
"Oh no, they're going to set it on fire!" Upon hearing this, Yun Hongcheng's expression changed drastically.
In his view, nothing in the world is immune to fire except water.
"Don't worry, they won't have a chance."
After Ji Minxiu finished speaking, he took out a grenade, opened the hatch, and threw it out forcefully.
"Ding ding ding..."
Soon, five round objects landed in the middle of the bandits.
The move was so sudden that the bandits had no time to react.
"Boom..."
The next second, an explosion shook the heavens.
The powerful shockwave sent the nearby thugs flying, leaving them severely injured and crashing to the ground.
Sharp fragments from the broken shell scattered in all directions, landing right in the leader's eye, causing blood to gush out instantly.
"ah…"
The extreme pain caused the leader to cover his eyes and scream in agony, rolling on the ground in agony.
"This is terrifying! This monster is terrifying! Everyone, run away!"
Upon seeing this, the surviving bandits all lost the courage to resist, and screamed as they turned and fled in all directions.
"Don't let a single one escape!"
Ji Minxiu locked the helicopter door and, along with Yun Zhourong and Yun Hongcheng, chased after the remaining bandits.
"Bang bang bang..."
Gunshots rang out one after another in the mountains and forests, incredibly loud in the dead of night, like muffled thunder.
"Look, what's that?"
"It seems to be in the direction of Tulong Village. What's that bright light?"
Is it thundering over there?
"But why do I think I heard screams?"
"..."
The commotion above could be faintly heard and caught the attention of the nearby villagers who were distributing grain throughout the night.
"That light...it looks a lot like the eye of the giant bird that Lady Snow Fairy rides!"
Among the crowd, the old man from the family of the son with the broken leg stared at the mountaintop and shouted to the villagers around him, "Let me tell you, that big bird's eyes are just that bright!"
"Really?"
The villagers were skeptical after hearing this, staring at the mountaintop and asking, "Even if that really is Lord Snow Demon, what is he doing at Earth Dragon Village?"
"Do you think those screams were the Snow Demon helping us fight off the bandits?" a villager suddenly whispered, speculating.
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, several villagers couldn't help but gasp, their eyes instantly lighting up. "I think it's very possible. The Snow Demon is so compassionate and merciful, she must not have been able to bear seeing us being tormented by bandits, so she came to rid the people of this scourge!"
"May God protect us, and may the Snow Demon be safe and sound, and return victorious!"
Upon realizing this possibility, the old man immediately knelt down and prayed to heaven.
"May God protect us, and may the Snow Demon be safe and sound, and return victorious!"
Seeing this, the other villagers also quickly knelt down and began to pray together.
Ji Minxiu and his companions were unaware of the villagers' reactions. At this moment, the three of them split into three groups and chased after the bandits.
Ji Minxiu estimated that there weren't many bandits in the village, only a little over forty in total.
The grenade just now killed or wounded more than twenty bandits, leaving only a dozen or so.
Therefore, it was quite easy for the three of them to give chase.
Ji Minxiu, in particular, was extremely swift in his movements. Coupled with his rifle, which had a long range, many bandits were shot in the leg before they could run far, and they fell to the ground howling in pain.
In comparison, Yun Zhourong and Yun Hongcheng's efforts were less efficient.
After all, they were all novices, and their aim wasn't very good. They often made a lot of noise but didn't hit anyone.
The bandits, driven by a strong will to survive and leveraging their familiarity with the terrain, ran incredibly fast.
So the two of them could only chase after it desperately, gradually going deeper and deeper into the forest.
Yun Zhourong was initially caught up in the chase with great enthusiasm, focusing solely on keeping an eye on the pursuers until he lost track of the last two targets, at which point he suddenly snapped back to reality.
The person was found already in a dense forest.
It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't hear a sound. Visibility was also very low. The unfamiliar area in the distance seemed like a gaping maw of abyss, ready to swallow her whole.
Cold sweat trickled down her temples, and an overwhelming sense of panic welled up inside her. But she dared not relax for a moment, gripping her hands and cautiously surveying her surroundings.
The two remaining bandits disappeared here, and it's hard to guarantee they won't launch a sneak attack from the shadows.
"That damned monster!"
Meanwhile, two bandits were hiding in the shadows, leaning against a tree trunk and panting heavily. "She's all alone now. Let's work together to kill her, or she definitely won't be able to escape!"
