Just like when he approached Ma Hongwei's tree house before, in order not to make any noise, Xu Xin specifically looked for a place with few fallen leaves on the ground and slowly approached the tree house which was only three or four hundred meters away from them.
Li Wenxi also followed behind him, stepping on the places he had stepped on, moving forward carefully.
Suddenly, Coco, who was lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, moved a little, probably remembering Xu Xin's warning. Instead of jumping down, it scratched the front with its little paws and made a "嘤" sound in Xu Xin's ear.
Xu Xin walked more carefully and whispered to Li Wenxi, "There's someone ahead, be careful."
Soon, through the gaps in the bushes, the two saw the scene under the tree house.
"That's...Sister Xuefei!" Li Wenxi exclaimed softly behind Xu Xin.
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
All the trees within a hundred meters around the tree house have been cut down, forming an open area around the tree house, which is similar to the choice of Xu Xin and Li Wenxi.
Only about 10 to 20 meters away from the tree house, a woman in blue-grade steel armor was sitting on the ground. Her breathing was a little rapid, her face flushed from exercise, she was holding her chest with a look of pain on her face, and she coughed from time to time.
There were at least twenty heavy crossbow arrows stuck crookedly on the ground around her, and several more were lying scattered on the ground, their wooden arrowheads completely deformed.
Although Xu Xin had never seen Qi Xuefei's appearance, this set of blue-grade steel armor was undoubtedly the one he made today. Moreover, Li Wenxi must have known Qi Xuefei's appearance through video chat, so this woman was undoubtedly Qi Xuefei.
However, her newly made steel armor already looked a bit worn out. It was covered with dirt and had several scratches and dents.
These marks were obviously caused by heavy crossbow arrows.
Xu Xin clenched his fists. Even wearing blue-grade steel armor, being hit by a heavy crossbow arrow would still cause injury.
Blue-grade steel armor is the most defensive set among the blue-grade armor. From a defensive perspective, this set of steel armor isn't necessarily inferior to purple-grade scale armor. Therefore, a green-grade heavy crossbow's arrows only scratched and dented the armor.
But just because the armor doesn’t receive much damage doesn’t mean the person inside the armor won’t be hurt.
Heavy armor is more for preventing small-scale sharp attacks, such as crossbow bolts, snake bites, wolf bites, spear or sword attacks, and even tiger scratches and bites.
As long as these attacks cannot destroy the armor, the person wearing the armor will not suffer much damage.
But if it's a powerful impact type of attack, heavy armor won't be of much use.
Just like Xu Xin, wearing blue-level armor, still didn't dare to withstand the wild boar's head-on collision. If he was knocked away and slammed into a tree, his armor might not be seriously damaged, but he would definitely suffer internal injuries!
To give an extreme example, no matter how hard the armor is, if you are hit by a truck and fly dozens of meters away, even if the armor is very hard and not deformed, you will still die.
It is precisely because the armor is too hard and cannot absorb the impact force that the entire impact force acts on the human body, which can easily cause internal injuries and damage to internal organs and bones, which can be minor injuries or even shattered.
The essence of the heavy crossbow lies in its "heavyness". In addition to its penetrating power, the heavy crossbow arrow itself is also extremely heavy. Even if the crossbow arrow cannot penetrate the extremely tough blue-level steel armor, it can still pierce the person wearing the steel armor to the ground.
At this time, Qi Xuefei was obviously hit to the ground several times by the heavy crossbow, which made her covered in dust and coughing while holding her chest.
"...What's the point of you staying like this? Are you kidding me?" Qi Xuefei supported herself on the ground, slowly got up from the ground, raised her head towards the direction of the tree house, and said in a somewhat weak voice.
Xu Xin and the others couldn't see the owner of the tree house from where they were now. He was looking at Qi Xuefei from a window in another direction.
"Ka!" The sound of a mechanical expansion twisting was heard, and another crossbow bolt was fired from the side of the tree house. Qi Xuefei twisted to avoid it, but it still grazed her shoulder. The crossbow bolt, with its enormous weight and kinetic energy, directly knocked her to the ground.
Li Wenxi's face was filled with anger, and she immediately took out her crossbow, but Xu Xin stretched out his hand in front of her, preventing her from rushing forward.
"Wait a moment, observe the situation! Acting rashly will not only put Qi Xuefei in greater danger, but will also put us in danger!" Xu Xin shouted in a low voice.
"But..." Looking at Qi Xuefei who rolled twice on the ground and quickly stood up, Li Wenxi bit her lips tightly.
"This person doesn't seem to want to kill her now, but if you take action, he might really kill her when he sees so many people around!" Xu Xin glanced at the tree house canopy full of heavy crossbows and whispered.
If this person really wanted to kill Qi Xuefei, he could just shoot thousands of arrows at once. Why bother teasing him by shooting them one by one?
Fortunately, Qi Xuefei is also a smart person. Xu Xin noticed that when she was rolling on the ground just now, she quickly and secretly stuffed a pill into her mouth, and then she got up quickly.
Xu Xin on the side could see her little movements, but the people in the tree house certainly couldn't see it.
What she took should be the kind of pill that can quickly heal injuries.
"Haha, yes, I was just teasing you!"
A man's voice came from the tree house. It was a high-pitched voice with a hint of teasing.
"It's so hard to meet a beautiful woman. It would be so bad to kill you. Of course I have to have some fun with you! The armor on you is really strong. If it weren't for it, I'm really afraid I would have killed you. When you are exhausted, hehehe..."
