The impact from the side caught Xia Xiao off guard. He fell from the tree to the ground, and the pain from the quiver on his back made his face distorted.
A cold light flashed across his brows, and then in an instant, Xia Xiao turned around, and a big knife fell from the original place.
The rocks and tree roots were smashed to pieces. Liu Yidao saw this and grinned:
"Still want to run?"
Pulling out the big knife, Liu Yidao would tear the trees apart every time he swung it. Xia Xiao was tossing and turning on the edge of the knife, hovering at the door of death.
The powerful crossbow fell to the side and could not be retrieved, so Xia Xiao cut open the quiver and grabbed a handful of arrows.
"Come!"
Wearing a green shirt stained red, Xia Xiao rushed forward with angry eyes.
Liu Yidao stretched his body, ready to meet the enemy, as if he could cut Xia Xiao in half with one blow. Xia Xiao rushed forward at a very fast speed, but did not collide with the sword. Instead, he shoveled down hard, moving close to the ground.
Xia Xiao slid past Liu Yidao's thick legs and stabbed his sword into the ground. After his body stopped, he stood up suddenly and wanted to pierce the arrow into Liu Yidao's back.
The vital energy vibrated and rushed up from the ground. After Xia Xiao's arm was shaken away, he quickly jumped onto a tree.
"Monkey?"
He turned around and chopped down the tree with one knife, but Xia Xiao did not fall down. He jumped onto another tree.
The three brothers Liu Yidao cooperated very well. Usually, the pursuit work was done by the third brother, who only needed to give the opponent a fatal blow. The tactics were all formulated by Waizui. Now that the three of them were not together, and the one-eyed man became blind, Liu Yidao's disadvantage gradually became obvious. He was too clumsy. Although one of his moves was enough to make Xia Xiao gasp for breath, the annoying thing was that such a big man, with such a big weapon, could not hit him at all.
"Come down here!"
Liu Yidao became a woodcutter and felled two trees one after another. Seeing him stop there, Xia Xiao also stopped running and stopped at the treetop. When he looked back, Xia Xiao frowned. Liu Yidao was going back to Shu Shuang! Although he was a straightforward person, he was not a fool. If he couldn't catch up with the agile Xia Xiao, he could go to Shu Shuang.
Seeing his movement, Xia Xiao began to return the same way. His movements between the branches were light and swift, while he was careful not to let Liu Yidao suddenly turn around and swing his knife.
He really followed me!
Noticing Xia Xiao on the tree, Liu Yidao's mouth curled up into a ferocious smile. As long as Xia Xiao attacked from behind, he would turn around and chop him in half.
When Liu Yidao felt that his plan was perfect, Xia Xiao was looking for an opportunity.
Stepping on the branch, Xia Xiao felt that it was time, and he fell down along the tree trunk. Liu Yidao saw him and turned around and slashed with his sword. The air wave from the sword cut the tree in half, but Xia Xiao's figure was ghostly, standing on the sword.
What?
Xia Xiao knew that Liu Yidao was stronger than him, and his perception was also better than his. So when he fell, he stuck his machete into the tree, curled up his body and paused for a while, and then jumped onto the machete.
Seeing the doubt in Liu Yidao's eyes, Xia Xiao looked like the god of death, and the green light all over his body was the medicine for forgetting his past life in front of the gate of hell. Although Liu Yidao reacted very quickly and wanted to throw the knife, Xia Xiao still rushed forward.
All the energy in my body is entrusted to this sword. If the opponent dies under the sword, Xia Xiao wins! If he loses... he has not lost! If you always look ahead and behind, you will never succeed in anything you do!
The scarlet light on the machete was bright, but it was not limited to this. With Xia Xiao's full strength, the light it emitted spread to every corner of the jungle. In the light, Xia Xiao flashed and passed by Liu Yidao's side.
The flash of light caught Shu Shuang's attention and also shocked the blind man whose face was covered in blood. Such a strong force, but it didn't come from the eldest brother. Could there be a new enemy? It seems that God wants to destroy Hushan Village today!
Xia Xiao, with his back to Liu Yidao, clenched the arrow in his left hand and turned around to stab him in the back, but Liu Yidao had already fallen down suddenly, his head and body separated, and he was dead.
Kneeling on the ground suddenly, Xia Xiao gasped. As long as Liu Yidao died, the battle would be over. Looking at the Pudao in his hand, Xia Xiao's eyebrows slightly raised, still quite reliable.
Although he was a little tired and the bruises on his face and the scars on his body were very painful, Xia Xiao still dragged his tired body towards Shu Shuang.
Shu Shuang's delicate body was completely different from the tall blind man, especially her thin waist, which seemed to be broken at any time. However, Shu Shuang's waist was strong and her flexible body repeatedly dodged the blind man's stabs. He was completely blind now, and although his vitality was not weak, it was useless.
“Come on!”
The blind man roared, his mood even more irritable than before. He could not feel the breath of his elder brother. Could it be that he died in the hands of that little guy? No, no! The blind man did not want to admit it, but now there was only this one explanation.
Shu Shuang saw Xia Xiao behind the blind man, and a smile appeared on her cautious face. She pretended to attack, and although the blind man felt someone behind him, he was ready to kill Shu Shuang first. The dagger that Shu Shuang stabbed was caught by him. The blind man twisted his wrist and used the bayonet in his hand to knock Shu Shuang's dagger off. He turned around, but the knife that faced his bayonet was the Pudao that killed Liu Yidao.
The machete was sharp and could cut through iron like mud. It cut his bayonet in half, then pierced his arm and cut towards his throat.
In an instant, a red light appeared in front of Xia Xiao's eyes.
The blind man wanted to speak, but he couldn't make any sound, so he could only cover his throat and feel around. Xia Xiao cut him dead with a knife.
Shu Shuang couldn't help but look around, as if she was looking for a fish that had slipped through the net, or as if she was trying to eliminate danger. But no matter which one, her face became worse and worse.
In the huge jungle, the trees were full of obvious signs of fighting, corpses were everywhere, and the smell of blood lingered in the air, making it like a hell on earth.
Shu Shuang almost vomited when she smelled it. She hated this smell the most, but now she was standing next to the corpse, with her hair disheveled, her face covered in dirt and a few broken leaves, like a butcher addicted to killing.
Xia Xiao walked in front of her and covered her eyes.
"Don't look at it."
Xia Xiao felt very distressed. He knew Shu Shuang didn't like these, so he pulled her along the path and led her to Hushan Village.
Because she didn't know if there was any more danger, Shu Shuang held a strong crossbow and a handful of arrows in her small hands. When Xia Xiao squatted on the ground with his palm touching the ground, Shu Shuang looked around vigilantly.
With his eyes closed, Xia Xiao's perception range gradually expanded, taking in the entire village's houses. Ordinary people would have to wait until the late stage of seed consolidation to reach this state, but Xia Xiao had the power of the wood element.
"It's okay, let's go in and take a look!"
Xia Xiao said this, standing in front of Shu Shuang and stepping into the village.
The bandit's den was just as he imagined, messy, dirty and smelly. On the table was the food that hadn't been eaten in the morning. It could be seen that the meat and bread were both good ingredients, but the cooking method was a bit bad. How could a large piece of meat be cooked directly? It seemed that these people were just eating it directly, really living like ancient people.
If Xia Xiao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that someone would be willing to live such a life in the mountains.
"There's a passage over here."
Shu Shuang said this, and Xia Xiao walked in with her.
The room was not small, with several beds. The quilts and sheets were all blackened, and the strong stench almost made Shu Shuang faint.
"Let's go, it smells too bad."
Shu Shuang took a step forward and fanned her nose with her small hands. She turned her head to look at Xia Xiao beside her. He looked around cautiously and surprised.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong."
Xia Xiao pulled out a piece of white paper from his trouser pocket. On it was a map drawn by Huiyue and handwritten materials. Liu Yidao was dead, Duyan was also dead, and the crooked mouth was missing. But there was no one around. Could it be that they were at Hushankou?
"We guess we still have a battle to fight!"
Xia Xiao looked towards the front of the mountain, his eyes were calm but very cold.
"Take a break or go straight ahead? They might not notice!"
"Let's find a safe place to rest for a while!"
Xia Xiao is almost overdrawn now, not to mention Shu Shuang's small body.
"I'll go see if there's a safer room."
We can't care about cleanliness at this time, but we must be safe. There are no chains, and it is obviously not recommended to have a room directly facing the village gate.
After turning a corner, Shu Shuang stopped in front of a room. The room was not big, but it was locked. It seemed that this was the only room in the village that had a lock. Shu Shuang felt strange and clapped his hands hard, trying to break the iron lock, but failed.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xiao came over after hearing the voice.
"There's a strange room."
As Shu Shuang was speaking, Xia Xiao chopped it off with his machete. There was an iron door behind the wooden door. No wonder Shu Shuang couldn't kick it open.
After several consecutive slashes, the machete was no longer able to make any cuts, and the lock of the iron door fell to the ground with a crisp metallic collision sound.
After pushing open the heavy iron door, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang looked at each other in disbelief at what was inside.
The small room was filled with gold and silver, and there were also many gold, silver and jewelry inside. This kind of wealth and honor shone on Xia Xiao and the others' faces, shocking them. They didn't expect these bandits to be so rich, no wonder they were willing to be bandits.
This amount of money is enough for these people to have whatever they want, and they probably won’t be able to spend it all in two lifetimes!
There were several boxes piled in the center of the room, which Xia Xiao opened easily. Precious medicinal materials were displayed, as well as some spiritual medicines that exuded vitality. Shu Shuang was a little surprised when she saw them.
"I didn't expect they still have black gold growing leaves."
"ah?"
Shu Shuang picked up a small branch in the center of the treasure chest. It was only as long as a little finger, and the three leaves on it were dark gold. There seemed to be some kind of ancient pattern on it. Xia Xiao was mesmerized after just one look.
"The Black Gold Growth Leaf can promote the growth of birds and wild beasts and allow them to evolve. It is rare in the world. I wonder where they found such a leaf."
"Can Ju Mang be used?"
Xia Xiao's first reaction was it. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Ju Mang calling him. For so long, except for entering the forest when he was concentrating his mind and calming his breath, or forming a spiritual seal to summon Ju Mang, Xia Xiao had never been called by it. Could there be some adventure?
Xia Xiao was curious and immediately formed the spiritual contract hand seal.
