Melee combat is much more dangerous than ranged combat.
At this moment, Xia Xiao's ears were filled with the sound of arrows breaking through the wind, which was extremely sharp and could easily take someone's life. Leaves were broken and branches fell, making this originally quiet jungle lively. With leaves and branches above his head, Xia Xiao attracted the bandits' firepower, causing them to aim at Shu Shuang and shoot arrows at him.
brush--
A flash of red light passed by, and Xia Xiao's drawn broadsword turned, blocking several arrows. Almost at the same time, Shu Shuang frowned and bit her lip, completely exposed outside the leaves and branches, and the speed of loading arrows in her hand became faster and faster.
call out--
Arrows also shot out from Xia Xiao's hand, nailing a man who was about to rush over to the tree. Facing the rain of arrows, Xia Xiao charged his vitality into his broadsword, and with just one sweep, countless arrows fell to the ground, but there was another wave!
Xia Xiao put the machete back into its sheath, raised the crossbow in his backhand, used it as a shield, and hid behind a tree.
“Tsk!”
The arrow grazed his calf, leaving a bloody mark, but since it was called a battle, getting injured was inevitable. Pulling out an arrow, Xia Xiao shot in the direction of the arrow. He must attack the enemy who can attack his position first.
Ding ding ding!
There were more neat and orderly arrow sounds. The tree Xia Xiao was leaning against became a target, with dozens of arrows nailed to it. But Xia Xiao threw the quiver and crossbow on his waist into the crowd thirty meters away, startling them. But when they panicked, Xia Xiao had left the tree again.
It takes great courage to leave the bunker, but Xia Xiao is extremely fast. He takes each step very far and cuts off all the arrows with his machete. The scarlet knife will become the nightmare of the bandits!
Shu Shuang jumped between the branches, shooting arrows continuously, and never missed her target. Xia Xiao was in charge of the people on the right, and she was in charge of the left. Anyway, she couldn't give the bandits time to prepare to shoot arrows, otherwise Xia Xiao would be in danger at this distance!
The broadsword whirled through the air, startling the squad leader so much that he froze in his tracks. It was like a magnificent work of art, spinning vertically in the air, creating a halo that came in the blink of an eye.
laugh--
The captain's forehead was pierced, and his body fell back. The bandits around him were stunned, but before they could react, Xia Xiao was already standing in front of them, pulling out his broadsword. He swung the broadsword powerfully, and in the blink of an eye, three people fell down.
A man in the distance raised his crossbow and aimed it at Xia Xiao, but the latter ignored him and went towards the people nearby. The man behind him pulled the trigger, but his body fell down, and the arrow in his hand missed the target, and he was far away from Xia Xiao!
Amidst the blood, Xia Xiao killed two more people, and then threw the broadsword. The broadsword moved the blood beads in the air and killed a man who was running towards the village.
The bandits on one side were so frightened that they stood still and dared not move, but the people around him were so angry that they raised their arrows and were about to shoot. Hiding behind a tree, Xia Xiao looked at the crossbow on the side and rushed towards it.
laugh--
The arrow passed through his arm, cutting Xia Xiao's clothes and leaving another scar. But this level of injury was not enough to stop Xia Xiao. He just glanced at it, picked up the crossbow, and shot an arrow. Even if the man hid behind the tree, he could not escape death. The arrows shot by practitioners are different from those shot by ordinary people.
He put the quiver on his back and after it was properly secured, there were three more arrows in it.
A gust of wind blew from behind, and Xia Xiao, who was jealous of the battle, turned around and smashed his crossbow in the face. The sword in the latter's hand just passed weakly across his chest. He couldn't even hide the sound of his footsteps, and he dared to attack by surprise?
In an instant, only two people were left out of the more than 30 people. They panicked and ran towards the mountain village. Seeing this, Xia Xiao let out a breath and ignored them.
call out--
call out--
Two sounds of breaking wind were heard, and two people fell to the ground in response.
Shu Shuang jumped down from the tree with a light figure, preparing to pull out the arrow that she had shot earlier, but Xia Xiao grabbed her wrist.
"Use this bag!"
Xia Xiao still had a pack of arrows that he hadn't used yet, so he handed it to Shu Shuang. Shu Shuang could probably guess that Xia Xiao didn't want her to get hurt. If it wasn't for the special circumstances this time and the enemy was too strong, Xia Xiao probably wouldn't have let Shu Shuang come.
Carrying the quiver, Shu Shuang ran to a good cover and paid attention to the direction in which the two people had escaped.
He stretched out his hand, pulled the arrow out of the bandit's body, and a stream of blood spurted out immediately.
"ah--"
The bandit was screaming, sweating profusely, his eyes wide open, bloodshot. But Xia Xiao ignored him, just holding the arrow with a few strands of raw flesh in his hand. This was the reason why Xia Xiao didn't want Shu Shuang to pull it out, it was too creepy!
So far, this fierce battle is only halfway through, and the real difficulty is yet to come!
Xia Xiao also found a shelter, ten meters away from Shu Shuang, and stared in the same direction.
Some people behind him tried to pull out the arrows from their bodies, but the barbed arrows caused them unbearable pain and they screamed. Suddenly, the forest was filled with ghosts howling, some of which were very loud at first, but soon died down.
The only ones who can accomplish this together are Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang!
"I don't want to hear it."
Murmuring, Shu Shuang clenched her teeth and tried hard not to care about them. These people were a nuisance and would only continue to harm others if they stayed.
Soon, three people walked down the path in the direction the two men fled. They tiptoed, holding shields, very cautious, fearing an ambush. But Shu Shuang saw it and almost pulled the trigger with Xia Xiao.
The sound of the bowstring was like thunder, and the arrow shot out suddenly, hitting two people in the blink of an eye. They thought their position was safe, but they were still hit.
"Hey! Help me! Help me!"
The bandit lying on the ground covered his wound with one hand and reached out to the person who was not shot with the other hand. This feeling was too painful, as if his flesh and blood were separated. The person who was not shot didn't care about him and hid behind the tree at this time, not daring to move.
The sound of wood being torn apart came from behind him, and the man looked at the tree in disbelief. It had already been torn open by the arrow. The next moment, another arrow came from the crack and broke through the last bit of bark.
laugh--
After an arc, blood spilled on the ground.
The two people lying on the ground were horrified when they saw this. They were both shot in the chest. Their legs were fine, but they couldn't stand up at all. If they moved a little, the wounds on their chests would bleed a shocking amount of blood.
What should I do? What should I do? They thought about it and lost consciousness.
"Keep waiting!"
"good!"
Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang covered themselves with branches to hide themselves and calm down. However, in Hushan Village, the atmosphere was already boiling and everyone was very anxious.
The remaining forty people were fully armed, holding shields, wearing helmets, and wearing armor that did not match each other, and stood in the village waiting for the leader's order.
Liu Yidao stood on the steps, walking back and forth. The big knife next to him was as tall as him, and its sharp teeth were somewhat scary.
"Report——"
The drawn-out voice attracted everyone's attention, but what he said was different from what everyone expected.
"Boss, there is no one outside the tiger's mouth, not a single person!"
Oh? Liu Yidao felt strange. If Rongcheng wanted to encircle him, they should have sent people to the tiger's mouth. Why was there no one? If they wanted to launch a sneak attack from the tiger's butt, they shouldn't have sent out the signal fire... What did this mean?
"Brother, I think this is Rongcheng's plan. They want us to think that everyone is behind us, but in fact, they are trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Liu Yidao nodded cautiously, thinking it made sense.
"Report——"
A man came running over and knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Boss, everyone behind us is dead!"
"What?"
Liu Yidao dragged the sword, somewhat surprised.
"Are you sure?"
"It's certain! I saw it with my own eyes. They were all screaming, and then the sound gradually died down. The three brothers who had just gone down also fell silent."
Liu Yidao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. It seemed that Rong Cheng would fight to the death this time.
“Brothers!”
At this sound, all forty people became energetic.
"How do I, Liu Yidao, treat you normally?"
"Boss, we are all brothers. Tell me, what should we do?"
"That's right! We are not afraid of death. Only by following the boss can we have food to eat!"
"Boss, how should we fight?"
…
There was a collective response, and Liu Yidao was quite satisfied. This was his position in Hushan!
"Last time we fled, eighty-seven brothers died, and now forty more have died. We have a total of two hundred people in Hushan, and now there are only the thirty-odd brothers present and Hukou left. We will not flee this time, but kill them all and let Rongcheng see that the people of Hushan Village are not vegetarians!"
“Kill—kill—kill—”
More than forty people raised their weapons, extremely excited, and then Liu Yidao said:
"Second brother, take thirty people to the tiger's mouth. There must be someone there! The beasts in Rongcheng always want to encircle and suppress us with the least loss. We will let them go without return!"
Waizui thought it made sense and prepared to leave with thirty people.
"Second brother!"
Wai Zui turned around and looked at his elder brother, who reminded him:
"Don't be fooled by the guys from Rongcheng. No matter what happens in Tiger Butt, don't come here. I will handle it here and will come directly to you!"
"Be careful, bro!"
After saying this, Waizui rushed down the mountain angrily with a knife slung over his shoulder.
"The rest of the brothers, follow me, let's go meet that tiger-butt guy!"
"good--"
Ten people followed Liu Yidao and walked towards the back of the village. Compared with the front of the mountain, the back of the mountain was steeper, but from a high point, they could see the bodies of more than 40 people.
Liu Yidao stared at the quiet woods.
"Who! Who is this person?"
The only answer he got was two arrows shot from the forest, riding on the sound of breaking wind, carrying the curling of leaves and floating in the sky.
"Isn't it too inhumane to attack me in front of me?"
After Liu Yidao finished speaking, he and Lao San moved and grabbed the arrows on both sides. The two men were stunned in place, and the arrows that flew by quickly stopped in front of them. The sharp edges on them seemed to be able to easily pierce their heads.
"Nothing more!"
The one-eyed third brother roared towards the cliff, and the next moment he showed panic, because two arrows carrying vitality came again, and this time, they couldn't catch them!
