The wound on the waist was caused by an arrow. The wound was not too deep but it was very long. A lot of blood had been shed. When the rain washed over it, the pain was excruciating...

The dense rain curtains greatly restricted the field of vision, and such a situation was naturally very suitable for escape. Wu Lai insisted on staying to block the pursuit. In addition to eliminating the pursuers so that he and Shelley could escape more calmly, it was also because he hated these guys because they actually shot arrows at him.

Wu Lai could understand sneak attacks, cold arrows, and clubs, but he could not accept that these guys would attack him like that while he was enjoying a bowel movement!

Actually, we can’t blame them all. The thing is this—

The "crime scene" is nearly twenty miles away from Wu Lai's current location. The rain had not stopped yet. After trekking for most of the day, Wu Lai and Shelley rested in a pine forest. Shelley fell asleep quickly, and Wu Lai lasted only a little longer than her before he also fell into a deep sleep. After all, both of them were too tired, especially Wu Lai, because in addition to traveling, he also had to do many physically demanding things, such as hunting and looking for clean water.

Just as the two fell asleep, a team of 100 people from the Tianjuan Army appeared near them. Fortunately, they were on the sunny side of the ridge, while Wu Lai and the other man were on the shady side. So although six soldiers from the Tianjuan Army were less than 50 steps away from Wu Lai in a straight line, they were able to get along peacefully because of the ridge in between.

This team of 100 men was Hatra's guards, and the reason Hatra brought them here had nothing to do with Wu Lei - he came here to look for matsutake mushrooms because Helen liked to eat them.

Matsutake mushrooms are very rare in the Tianjuan territory, but it is different in Hurlit and Assyria. Hatra, who is almost obsessed with Helen, brings his troops to look for them whenever he has time, and then picks out the best quality ones to give to Helen. This really wins Helen's favor.

If Woolley and Shelley continued to sleep, the two groups might have passed each other by, because large dark clouds soon rolled up in the sky, and then thunder sounded.

Then, Wu Lai woke up.

After waking up, Wu Lai looked at the sky and knew that it would rain heavily soon, so he quickly woke up Shelley. You know, getting caught in the rain in the wilderness would not be a pleasant thing.

As soon as he woke up Shelley, Wu Lai's stomach started to hurt. Then, Wu Lai ran to the ridge and squatted down. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he squatted down, six heads appeared more than 20 steps behind him.

The trees on the ridge were much sparser than those on the hillside, so as soon as the six guards showed their heads, they saw Wu Lai's back, oh no, it was his big white butt and that indescribable situation...

So, after the six guards involuntarily imagined "a stench" in their minds, one of them took off his bow bag. Fortunately, Hatra's guards were divided into five types of weapons: knife, sword, shield, spear, and bow. Only this one of the six brought a bow and arrow, otherwise, if six arrows were fired at the same time, Wu Lai might have died.

"Bang", the bowstring makes a sound.

"Swish", the feather arrow flew out.

"Puff" - the feather arrow cut Wu Lai's left waist, leaving a straight blood groove, and then nailed it firmly to a pine tree not far away.

Wu Lai, who was suddenly attacked, rolled to the right, quickly got up, and then pounced again, hiding behind a pine tree.

"Oh damn, my hands are so dark. Fortunately, I didn't shoot my butt." Wu Lai muttered as he put on his pants. Oh, um, um, he didn't bother to wipe it off at this moment.

Seeing Wulai's embarrassed appearance, the six guards burst into laughter. While laughing, they argued about Wulai's identity. Some said that Wulai was a woodcutter, and some said that Wulai was a hunter or a runaway slave. The latter was especially common in the current Hurricane province - those Hurricane nobles who fled to Assyria with their families in panic basically had no time to discipline their slaves as they did before.

"Come out!" the archer shouted triumphantly, and together with the other five soldiers, he surrounded the direction where Wu Lai was.

After a slight hesitation, Wu Lai walked out from behind the tree. His bow and sword were placed where he had just rested. He also heard that these soldiers had surrounded him. Instead of being rushed by them, it would be better for him to take the initiative to walk out and look for an opportunity to attack.

At this moment, Wu Lai no longer cared about the wound on his waist. He tried hard to put on a fearful expression, covered the wound with his hand, and walked slowly towards the six people, observing and planning.

Seeing Wu Lai walk out on his own initiative, the six soldiers relaxed. The one holding the bow and arrow lowered his bow and shouted, "Who are you?"

Wu Lai gestured with his mouth and yelled "wow wow" twice while continuing to walk forward.

"Turns out he's a mute." said a soldier.

"He is such an unlucky guy." The archer laughed strangely and waved at Wu Lai, "Come here."

Wu Lai quickened his pace and limped up to the archer, his eyes lightly glancing at the dagger on his right waist.

"Listen..." the archer said as he stretched out his arm and poked Wu Lai's forehead with his finger. However, when his finger was still about an elbow away from Wu Lai, his vision suddenly blurred, and something lightly touched his right waist. There was a sound of wind on his chin, and severe pain immediately spread throughout his body.

As he fell, he heard the chaotic shouts around him and saw Wu Lai's agile figure and his unparalleled ruthlessness.

"What bad luck..." The archer asked in great annoyance before he completely lost consciousness...

The wound restricted Wu Lai greatly. Not only did the pain intensify with his movements, but it also caused his movements to be deformed to a certain extent. Therefore, he ultimately failed to kill the six men in one fell swoop as he had planned, even though only two of the six were carrying weapons.

Two soldiers fled, shouting loudly as they ran, and their shouts soon attracted more shouts, questions and warnings.

When he heard the shouts coming from far and near, Wu Lai's face changed. He leaned over to pick up the archer's quiver, casually pulled off his headscarf and tied it around his waist, then turned and ran in the direction of Shelley...

…

After watching Shelley's figure disappear on the mountain path, Wu Lai wrapped the headscarf around his waist tighter, then quickly ran behind a large patch of grass as tall as a person.

They had fled for nearly twenty miles, passing through six mountains, and it was raining heavily, so he had reason to believe that the pursuers must have been dispersed.

There were seventeen arrows in his quiver, and in addition he had a broadsword and a dagger.

After looking at the surrounding terrain, Wu Lai squatted down behind a dead wood stump and used a dead branch to push aside the grass in front of him a little bit. From this angle, he could just cover the direction of the pursuers.

The only thing left is to wait...

Woolley did not have to wait long before his pursuers appeared, led by none other than Hatra.

The reason why Hatra chased so hard was that he suspected that the man and woman he was chasing were the wanted criminals Helen had ordered - Woolley Glyndore and Shelley Oliver. In the wanted order, the two were described as unforgivable spies.

But Hatra knew that the greatest sin of Woolley and his companion was that they killed Cleo, and they did it twice. Of course, they were not successful the first time, but the malice was obvious.

If he could capture Wu Lai and Shelley, Hartela believed that he would be able to win more favor from Helen. He needed this because he found that the distance between him and Helen was getting farther and farther. When they were childhood sweethearts, their status was almost equal. Now, although he had the title of Helen's fiancé and was one of the four kings of the Tianjuan Empire, he had to know that Helen was the emperor. Judging from the current situation, it would not be long before the whole continent would be hers.

When Hatra broke through the rain and rushed out, he never expected that a sharp arrow was aimed at him.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Lai moved the tip of the arrow downwards, changing the aiming position from the neck to the crotch, because he could see that the person who rushed over first was a nobleman, and injuring him would be more beneficial than killing him, because his injury would drag down other companions.

With a light "swoosh" sound, the feather arrow brushed past a large piece of grass and shattered countless raindrops before hitting Hatra hard.

The moment he was shot, Hartra's body stiffened as if he was electrocuted, and then he involuntarily fell to the ground, covering his crotch - it hurt so much!

What's even more tragic is that his fall not only made the sharp arrow penetrate deeper, but also caused two oval-shaped objects to fall into his crotch in a state that is hard to describe.

As the heat surged in his crotch, Hatra fainted...

"Prince Hatra! Prince Hatra!" The guards surrounded him in panic.

"Prince? Oh my god." Wu Lai was a little surprised, but that didn't stop him from shooting the arrows in his quiver continuously. Every time he shot an arrow, he moved two steps towards the direction of the mountain path.

Every time an arrow flew out, a soldier would be hit by it, but more and more soldiers would rush out of the rain and into Wu Lai's field of vision.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Oh my god, so many people..." After Wu Lai shot the last arrow, he threw away his bow and ran towards the mountain path for his life. At this moment, the soldier closest to him was still seventy or eighty steps away. If he didn't run now, when would he run?

Don't blame the large number of pursuers. After all, they are Hatra's guards. Although nearly half of them were scattered during the pursuit, there are still about fifty people who are following Hatra closely, fearing that something unexpected will happen to Hatra. But now it is obvious that the opposite has happened...

"There! Chase!" The guards soon spotted Wu Lai's figure, and more than ten people shouted and chased after him.

"Damn it, if you can catch up with me, I'll consider you cruel!" Wu Lai turned around and glanced at the panicked figure more than a hundred steps behind him, and wiped the rain off his face fiercely.

There are always ruthless people. Although their physical strength had been almost exhausted after chasing in the heavy rain for a long time, and although the heavy rain made the mountain road a little muddy, two guards still left their companions far behind and caught up with Wu Lai, because Wu Lai's physical strength had been exhausted to an exaggerated level - when the two soldiers caught up with him, he was no longer running but walking quickly.

"Stop!" the two pursuers shouted, waving their weapons.

Wu Lai glanced at Shelley not far ahead, stopped and turned around, holding the broadsword in his right hand and the dagger in his left hand in reverse grip.

"Come on!" After Wu Lai's loud shout, the two pursuers were stunned at the same time and became a little hesitant. Even though they were now two to one and only ten steps away from Wu Lai, the mountain path was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person to charge, and Wu Lai's imposing manner was a little too scary from a high position.

The two pursuers hesitated, but Wu Lai was extremely anxious because this was not a good time for a confrontation, as there were many people following these two men.

"You come first!" Wu Lai pointed his sword at one of them.

The soldier who was targeted subconsciously shrank his neck, thinking that if it were a flat road, he would have rushed forward, but it would be too unsafe to rush forward now, because he only had one sword in his hand, while the opponent had two.

"Coward!" Wu Lai spat contemptuously, frowned, turned around and ran a few steps, then turned back and saw that he was following him again.

"Bah." Wu Lai once again looked down upon the two of them...

Gradually, the scene became interesting. More and more soldiers were chasing them, but they were all connected in a line on the mountain road. It was impossible to go around them because the left side of this long mountain road was a steep slope, and the right side was even more steep. If you took a wrong step, you might roll to the bottom.

Every ten steps or so, Wu Lai turned around and confronted the pursuers, and thus Shelley was closer to the top of the mountain.

However, when the number of pursuers reached about ten, Wu Lai's advantage disappeared, not because the terrain of the mountain road had changed to his disadvantage, but because one of the last two people to arrive was actually an archer.

Wu Lai almost stumbled and fell down the mountain path when he dodged an arrow. After unable to help but swear, he turned around and ran away with big strides. After all, the empty quiver on his back could provide some defense, and the mountain top was not far away. More importantly, the archer was at the end of the pursuers. If he wanted to shoot, the dozen or so people in front of him would have to squat down and make room for him, which would undoubtedly allow Wu Lai to increase the distance.

The second arrow flew past Wu Lai's left shoulder, and his luck seemed to have run out. The third arrow hit him straight in the back, and the huge impact caused him to fall heavily.

As soon as the pursuers cheered, they were surprised to see Wu Lai quickly climbed up, and then continued to run forward as if nothing had happened, except that the posture of using both hands and feet was a little ugly.

"Chase first, chase first, chase first..." The pursuers urged each other and chased after them with a lot of noise.

"Retribution..." Wu Lai muttered to himself as he "crawled and ran". The arrow that pierced his back had penetrated deep into the flesh and his entire back was almost paralyzed by the pain, but he was finally conscious.

When Wu Lai ran to the top of the mountain, the fourth arrow finally flew over. With a light "puff" sound, Wu Lai's left calf was shot through.

"Wu Lai!" Shelley quickly turned around and ran towards Wu Lai who fell again.

Wu Lai glanced back hastily and saw that the pursuers were still more than thirty steps away. He gritted his teeth, grasped the arrow shaft on his calf, and broke it hard. His left leg trembled violently, and blood "drew" out along with the broken arrow shaft.

"Run! I'll stop them!" After Shelley helped Wu Lai up, he bent down and picked up the two swords that Wu Lai had thrown on the ground.

"Are you stupid?" Wu Lai grinned, snatched the dagger, turned around, aimed at the pursuers and threw it with all his might. He turned around and grabbed Shelley's hand without caring whether he hit the target or not. While gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, he ran to the slope more than ten steps away.

"Great, it's a grassy slope! Slide down! No, no, no, help me pull out this arrow on my back first." After running to the top of the mountain and taking a look at the slope, a look of joy flashed across Wu Lai's face. The slope in front of him was two or three hundred steps long. At the end of the slope was a long cliff. From where they were standing now, they could clearly see the wide and winding Athanasius River.

Wu Lai turned his body, and Shelley hesitantly grasped the arrow shaft, gritted his teeth, and pulled with all his strength.

"Oh my god!" Wu Lai cried out in pain.

"Are you okay?" Shelley shuddered with fear, and the arrow in his hand fell to the ground.

"Hurry! Slide down." When Wu Lai caught a glimpse of the pursuers from the corner of his eye, he reached out and grabbed Shelley's belt and threw himself down the slope.

"Swoosh", the fifth feather arrow quickly chased after the two of them...
