Chapter 48 Joining forces to meet the enemy
An unknown force, some people disguised as robbers, blocked Amy and Li Qi's path.
Li Qi's attitude was very calm. He hid behind Amy and confirmed that except for the limited two tactical-level and two third-level people, the rest of the people in front of him were ordinary people.
but……
They have guns behind their backs.
It's not just a few people who have guns, it's everyone here who has a gun.
When guns were only used by the military and the nobility, a group of "vagrants" who had to become robbers because they couldn't survive actually had guns in their hands? Li Qi didn't know whose intelligence this group was insulting.
But it doesn’t matter anyway. Looking at the current situation, they definitely don’t want Amy to survive.
"Who are you?"
Amy didn't care about Li Qi hiding behind her. She stared at the group of people with an unpleasant expression, her eyes sweeping over each of them.
She is looking for someone.
The robbers walked up to Amy, cocked their single-shot rifles, and pointed them at Amy and Li Qi.
One of them who looked like the leader said:
"We? You saw it too, we're robbers! I advise you to be honest and not make any unnecessary moves, otherwise... you'll have a few more holes in your body!"
"Do you want money? Or people?"
Amy suppressed her anger and asked as calmly as possible.
Who knew that as soon as she finished speaking, the robbers burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
They laughed wildly, their laughter echoing in the mountains and forests. The robber who had just spoken said while laughing:
"At this time, do you think you can still negotiate with me?"
After he finished speaking, his expression instantly turned ferocious: "We want both the person and the money! It just so happens that the brothers are tired of staying in this barren forest, so we'll use you two 'young ladies' to have some fun!"
"Do you know who I am?!"
Amy finally couldn't suppress her anger anymore and yelled at them.
But when the robbers heard her words, instead of asking her who she was, they had mocking smiles on their faces.
Seeing this smile, Amy's heart immediately sank.
They knew who she was, they really knew who she was.
"Fool."
Li Qi complained quietly behind his back.
Amy heard it clearly, but she didn't refute what he said.
She whispered, "...It looks like we can't escape today. Sorry for getting you into trouble."
It was clearly Li Qi who insisted on going with her, so even if something happened now, the responsibility would not be on Amy.
But she still said sorry to Li Qi.
Li Qi didn't know whether she apologized to him because she liked him or if that was just her nature.
But no matter what, Amy's apology made Li Qi feel much better about her.
Poking her back with his hand, Li Qi asked softly:
"If I can distract their attention, how many people can you deal with?"
"……?"
Amy's eyes widened slightly. She turned her head and glanced at Li Qi with her peripheral vision and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question."
"…I…don't know how strong they are. If they are just ordinary people…"
"There are fifteen of them in total, two at the tactical level, two at the third level, and the rest are ordinary people. The problem is that they have guns in their hands."
Li Qi quickly told what he saw.
Amy was even more surprised.
How did Li Qi know the strength of this group of people? However, Amy didn't have time to be surprised. She quickly estimated the difference in strength between the enemy and us and asked:
“…How many can you hold back?”
"Except for those two tactical-level ones, I can handle the others by myself."
“…”
Amy thought Li Qi was bragging.
But at this time, she could only try her best.
Anyway, the worst outcome is death.
"What? Have you finished discussing this? Have you decided to surrender now, or surrender after we beat you up?"
The robber leader spoke with amusement.
He saw the exchange between Li Qi and Amy, but they did not stop it.
Perhaps in their opinion, each of the fifteen of them had a gun in his hand, and there were also tactical-level knights to support them. Even if a strategic-level magician came, he would definitely not be able to escape from their encirclement.
What’s more, they are two delicate little girls.
Normally speaking, the robbers are right.
If you want to truly break out of their encirclement, only those title-level strongmen who have experienced fighting on the battlefield and have special titles can do it.
And they don’t think there will be a strong man with a title here.
It’s just a pity that Li Qi is here.
So their 'normal' will become 'abnormal'.
Under the robbers' gaze, Li Qi hid his body more secretly.
He was like a frightened little girl, hiding completely behind Amy, as if only this could make him feel safe.
The robbers didn't take it seriously at first.
Until they heard the faint sound of thunder.
Crackling——
The sound of lightning sounded behind Amy. When the robbers realized something was wrong, Li Qi's figure had already rushed out from behind Amy like a swift cheetah!
Golden lightning flashed in the air, and the figure of the 'girl' left an afterimage on the road, heading straight for the robber closest to Amy!
"shooting!!!"
The robber leader reacted quickly.
When he saw Li Qi's figure rushing out and running towards them, he immediately ordered his men to shoot, trying to shoot Li Qi outside! But Li Qi was too fast! There was golden electric light flowing on his legs. Under the stimulation of the golden electric current, he crossed a distance of more than ten meters in almost a blink of an eye and came to the nearest robber! His left hand reached behind him, and the dagger hidden behind his waist, mixed with a few strands of blue-black magic, slashed across the neck of the first robber.
Before the blood spurted out of the cut artery in his neck, Li Qi had already taken out a revolver with his right hand and pulled the trigger at several people in the distance on the other side!
Bang!!
With one shot, the robber with the gun farthest away fell down, with a bloody hole on his face. The shot blew his head off.
At such a close distance, there is no possibility that Li Qi will miss the target.
That is, when Li Qi used his pistol to kill the man in the distance, the man whose throat he had cut first began to bleed.
At the same time, the robbers fired gunshots.
He grabbed the first robber whose throat he had cut and used him as a shield in front of him.
Li Qi adjusted the revolver in his right hand with one hand, and shot at another person through the gap between the corpses.
Bang! The second bullet also hit the enemy accurately.
In no more than five seconds, the enemy lost three men.
"Damn it!! Kill her!"
Upon seeing this, the leader of the robbers immediately put away his previous cat-playing-with-mouse attitude and ordered his men to surround Li Qi.
He rushed towards Amy.
Li Qi was not important to them, Amy was their target! However, the leader just turned around and saw Amy rushing towards him.
At the same moment when Li Qi attracted everyone's attention, Amy made a move. When the leader turned around, Amy was already in front of him! At such a close distance, the leader's rifle could not be used, so he simply used the rifle as a close combat weapon and smashed it towards Amy's head.
Amy reached out, grabbed the rifle barrel, and kicked the leader in the chin with her knee raised high.
The leader's other hand blocked Amy's knee in time, and the hand holding the rifle carried red magic, trying to increase his strength to press Amy down! The two of them were in a stalemate for a while! But the leader was not the only one on his side. Another tactical level hesitated between "dealing with Li Qi" and "completing the mission", and chose the latter, turning around to help the leader deal with Amy.
But this was undoubtedly a wrong decision.
When the two of them suppressed Amy, Li Qi... had already gone crazy killing people.
