"sister!"
Seeing that his sister was in danger, Qi Xiaojie lost interest in playing with Chen Tao and only thought about protecting his sister.
But just as he was about to reach him, Chen Tao suddenly attacked from his side, splashing a puddle of wet mud onto his face.
Chen Tao, who was already feeling frustrated by being hit by the stone, finally got his chance and ran forward a few steps before leaping high into the air.
The dagger slashed down towards Qi Xiaojie's head...
"You stuttering brat, die!"
"ah!"
Qi Xiaojie was already nearsighted, and now his eyes were suddenly covered in mud, so he didn't have time to dodge.
The sharp blade sliced ​​vertically down his forehead.
However, just as it reached the eye area, it was partially blocked by the glasses frame.
My glasses were immediately knocked off, but thankfully my eyes were saved for the time being.
Without the aid of glasses, his vision became much blurrier, and he could only retreat repeatedly, trying to escape in all directions like Zhan Pengfei.
"Xiaojie!"
Seeing this, Qi Xiaoyan quickly shouted a reminder...
"Don't worry about me! Take care of yourself!"
You should worry about yourself first!
Bai Ying's cold shout rang out as she arrived in front of Qi Xiaoyan, her blade aimed straight for her head...
But Qi Xiaoyan seemed to have been prepared. She buried her head, leaned forward, and hugged Bai Ying's waist.
Bai Ying's knife landed on Qi Xiaoyan's back.
However, she was wearing fish-scale armor on her back, and the knife did not penetrate her defenses.
"Sisi, don't worry about me! Just do it!"
"Um!?"
These words immediately alerted Bai Ying and Chen Feng, who both looked at Liu Sisi.
At this moment, Liu Sisi had already stood up, still holding a wooden jar covered with small holes in her hand.
Ye Feng had known all along that their escape wouldn't go smoothly, so he gave Liu Sisi a can of bullet ants.
And they even specifically instructed...
[Sisi, you only get one chance. Make sure to throw the ball when they're most relaxed and feel they have victory in their grasp.]
"not good!"
Bai Ying and Chen Feng both sensed danger at that moment. Bai Ying tried to dodge, but Qi Xiaoyan held her tightly.
Chen Feng tried to step forward to stop them, but as soon as he took a step, Salla and Lia each grabbed one of his legs.
He immediately drew his knife...
But just as the knife was drawn, Liu Sisi opened the sheath and swung it forward horizontally.
Black arcs immediately covered all parts of their bodies.
Because Chen Feng was relatively close, most of the bullet ants landed on him. Bai Ying and Qi Xiaoyan also got some, but not much.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
The bullet ant's faint chirping is chilling.
"Come back quickly!"
As soon as Liu Sisi shouted, Qi Xiaoyan and the two local girls immediately let go of each other and quickly retreated.
They were kneeling while hugging, so basically only seven or eight bullet ants were crawling on their backs.
Qi Xiaoyan was wearing fish-scale armor, so the bullet ants' stings couldn't penetrate her. Plus, with the rain, a quick slapping motion cleared them all away, and she wasn't stung.
As for Salra and Lia, they had very few bullet ants on them, and none of them landed on their skin.
Because Liu Sisi's splash was aimed at Bai Ying and Chen Feng's heads.
The two of them started doing a hand-waving dance on the spot, and the knives in their hands fell to the ground, with ants constantly shaking off their bodies.
"ah!!!"
But most of the ants ended up on their heads, shoulders, and hands...
Chen Feng was the first to scream in agony. The intense pain was corroding every nerve in his body, and his whole body trembled even more violently.
Although Bai Ying was also bitten a few times by bullet ants, she didn't react much.
Instead, he endured the excruciating pain, gritted his teeth, and vented his anger on Liu Sisi with contorted facial features.
With the grand prize right in front of them, they didn't collapse and scream in despair.
"You bitch, you're asking for it!"
Her eyes were practically spitting fire. Perhaps because she hadn't been bitten on the hands or feet, she quickly picked up the dagger and ran towards the group.
At this moment, Liu Sisi and the others were frantically fleeing backward, trying to retrieve the bows and arrows that had been knocked away during the fight.
But they were all injured; how could they possibly outrun a high-ranking mercenary who was in a fit of rage?
The speed was gradually reduced...
The fleeing men hadn't yet noticed that Zhan Pengwu, not far away, had somehow gotten up, clutching a small, transparent, cone-shaped glass bottle in his hand.
The small bottle has two letters written on it: "Ad".
In that instant, the words Ye Feng had said to him when they parted ways echoed in his mind.
"Monk, this thing can double your combat power and remove all negative status effects within three minutes."
However, you should think it through; even ordinary people will experience side effects for several days after using this stuff.
Someone like you who has lost too much blood could very well die...
Remember, never use it unless absolutely necessary.
Zhan Pengwu's powerless eyes were filled with determination; in fact, he had been watching the fight for a while.
Judging from his martial arts skills, it was clear that these four mercenaries were all highly skilled.
If we don't act now, none of our companions will survive.
He felt very guilty about how things had turned out this way.
If I hadn't been shot, Ye Feng wouldn't have had to face Cheng Haojun alone for my sake, and my companions wouldn't have been caught in such a bitter battle.
Despite being ambushed so many times, they still weren't careful enough.
Thinking of this, Zhan Pengwu did not hesitate, put the glass bottle directly into his mouth, and instantly bit the cone-shaped tip to pieces.
Then he tore off the gauze from his arm and poured the clear medicine directly into the wound.
This injection method is not much different from syringe injection, except that it wastes some adrenaline.
Five seconds later...
His body exhibited the exact same symptoms as Ye Feng's; he first took a deep breath...
Immediately afterwards, the weakness caused by excessive blood loss vanished.
The frantic pounding of his heart sounded like thunder in his ears, and he could even feel the blood surging violently in every vein of his body.
Meanwhile, Zhan Pengfei and Qi Xiaojie, having been chased so desperately, ran towards Qi Xiaoyan and the others.
Zhang Tiannan sped up, leaping into the air and kicking Zhan Pengfei straight in the back.
The force sent him sprawling face-first to the ground, too exhausted to get up.
Seeing this, Qi Xiaojie first threw a few stones haphazardly at Chen Tao behind him.
After briefly halting their pursuit, he pulled out a steel gallbladder and threw it at Zhang Tiannan.
However, without glasses and severely exhausted, this shot was completely inaccurate and lacked power.
Zhang Tiannan simply shifted his body slightly to the side and dodged it.
Just as he was about to finish off Zhan Pengfei, a rapid, deep footstep suddenly sounded from his left...
"Um?"
Who would it be at this moment?
Curious, he quickly turned his head, his eyebrows instantly furrowing, his expression immediately turning to horror.
Because Zhan Pengwu's fierce, Vajra-like face was rapidly approaching him.
Along with that, a small silver knife grew larger and larger in his vision...
Without a second thought, he tilted his head, and the butterfly knife swiftly grazed his neck...
When he turned around, Zhan Pengwu was already in front of him...
