At this time, hundreds of miles away, Lin and Jet were looking down through the gaps between the leaves. The guys who had chased them almost to the point of desperation were quickly going down the mountain and going away. They actually looked somewhat exasperated and embarrassed.
After making sure that the other party was truly retreating and not just bluffing, Jet sat down on the ground, gasping for breath. As he breathed, bloody saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he had no time to wipe it off. The human head necklace hanging around his neck kept shaking.
There was a terrible wound on his chest with the skin and flesh rolled up. Jet had smeared a handful of dirt on it, but it didn't look like the effect of stopping the bleeding was very good. At the same time, three fingers on his right hand were cut off, and the injury was quite serious.
In comparison, Lin seemed calmer, with most of his body stained with other people's blood, and except for his slightly pale face, he didn't seem to have suffered much damage. This had something to do with Lin's skills, but more importantly, Jet had blocked the knife for him several times.
Because Jet signed a follower agreement with Du Yuqi, he has a passive skill: Critical Moment (When a follower is about to suffer fatal damage, this special effect will be triggered, causing a powerful shield to appear outside the body and instantly teleport to the master's side.)
It is precisely because of this passive skill that Jet, who likes to rush forward recklessly, plays even more fiercely and aggressively at this time.
It's quite strange to say, the goblin race is full of contradictions. Most goblins are timid and cowardly, but a small number of goblins will completely ignore their own lives and become suicide soldiers. When necessary, they will go to die with the enemy without hesitation. Jet is obviously one of those guys who ignores life and death.
Lin and Jet were able to hold on until now because they had prepared many traps in the forest, otherwise they would have been caught long ago. Even so, these traps were damaged, and what made Lin even more sad was that he also lost seven or eight of his loyal men, who were indispensable to him.
After catching his breath for a while, Jet began to bandage his wounds clumsily, and asked in confusion:
"Why did these guys retreat on their own?"
Lin observed the current situation for a while, then said:
"It should be that Pastor Du and his men returned to the Arad continent, and then they knew that we were being chased and were in great trouble, so they deliberately revealed their whereabouts to share the pressure on our side."
There was a hint of cruelty in Jet's eyes.
"They are just fine. They come when they want and leave when they want. Haha, isn't that too cheap?"
After hearing what Jet said, Lin sneered:
"Hahaha, I thought so too. How could we let them get away with their hasty escape? That bastard mechanic just launched a massive airstrike on me, and I'm still aching all over. How could we let him get away with it so easily? Can you still move? Let's go! Let's stick with them. At least we can't let them get out of this mountain area so easily!"
Jet bit the bandage with his teeth, then tied the wound on his palm tightly, and then followed Du Yuqi's example to pour the alchemical healing potion on the wound, and then he exhaled after he recovered his strength and said:
"Walk!"
After the two men made up their minds, they immediately chased after the retreating enemy. Although Lin did not have Du Yuqi's powerful speed blessed by various top-grade equipment, he was definitely not slow when moving through the mountains and forests. It was obvious that he had practiced hard. He jumped out of the forest with his clothes fluttering, and he rushed forward as fast as a green and circling goshawk.
The group of people who withdrew at this time were divided into two parts. One group was still determined to hunt down Xi. This group of people was led by Sicily, and there were also official detectives.
Some people who followed the crowd began to feel pessimistic about the future and wanted to quit. After all, they had been searching for so long, but they were also exhausted and led by the nose. Several people died, and now even the forward base was wiped out. In this case, they had to re-evaluate the risks of this trip and think carefully about whether it was worthwhile.
The group of people who followed Sicily and decided to evacuate did so very quickly and with a clear destination, which was to rush back to the temporary forward base first. They were all eager to get away, believing that they would not be able to escape in broad daylight this time.
The pessimistic group of people were not so active. To be more precise, they were lazy and slacking off. They were whispering to each other and venting their dissatisfaction. Some of them even stayed behind and left. Of course, they never thought that the two guys they had chased before would have the courage to counterattack!
What appeared in front of Lin and Jet at this time was just such a small group, with a total of four people. Among these four people, two had dealt with Lin and Jet before, of course, using their weapons.
The sword spirit in a red cloak had a very sharp lightsaber, and he was the one who cut off three of Jet's fingers. Another roaming gunner in a jacket kicked Lin in the right rib, and it was estimated that there was a clear fracture in the rib.
Seeing a gurgling stream nearby, three of the four people went to the river to wash, but the sword spirit went in the opposite direction, apparently because he had to pee urgently.
After seeing this scene, Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's him!" Lin whispered to Jeter. "You go first. See that rock next to you? When I rush down, you'll be responsible for pushing that rock down. It can at least stop them for a while. I only need two moves to teach this guy a lesson he'll never forget!"
Jet immediately saw the huge rock, which was crumbling on the mountain path next to it, with a lot of vines clinging to it. He walked over and tried to push it, and found that he could still move it, so he nodded to Lin.
Lin stood aside, raised three fingers, and then bent them one by one. When the last finger was bent, he aimed and swooped down.
At the same time, Jet suddenly held up the huge rock next to him and began to exert his strength. The muscles on his body suddenly swelled up, appearing dark and shiny. Under his strength, the huge rock slowly loosened, and then slowly and quickly rolled down the slope of more than 60 degrees. When it fell, it brought up a lot of mud, smoke, trees, and vines, which seemed to be a shocking momentum, almost like a small landslide! !
The attention of the three people beside the stream was immediately attracted. Although the direction in which the huge rock rolled was not directly towards them, they still ran away as fast as they could without hesitation.
At the same time, the sword spirit should have noticed the slightest clue of Lin Luexia's approach, but the might of the rolling boulder here immediately attracted his attention instinctively, and he quickly moved to the side.
So, when Lin rushed towards him like a tiger descending from the mountain, the red-caped sword soul woke up from his dream and drew his sword suddenly! However, it seemed that this guy's ability to respond was also first-class. He started by holding the hilt of the sword to accumulate power, and the blade of the lightsaber made a clear buzzing sound. Obviously, this was the opening move of the sword soul's signature skill: the sword draw and slash.
The characteristic of this skill is that the attack range is very wide, covering the area of 180 degrees in front of the user. It is said that the area covered by the vision is within the terrifying arc of sword light, and its attack distance is close to or even exceeds that of the Earth-shattering Wave Sword! To put it more intuitively, if the user of the Sword Slash stands in the center circle of the basketball court, then the half of the basketball court facing him will be under the sharp edge of the Sword Slash.
Some people who have seen this move on the battlefield even described it as the "mowing" technique. Densely packed enemy soldiers charged forward, and with a slash of their swords, a large area of enemies in front were cut in half like weeds, with limbs flying everywhere. It looked extremely tragic and miserable!
Moreover, the Sword Soul is a master of weapons, who can choose to master one or two of the lightsaber, katana, short sword, greatsword, and stick-type weapons. This guy uses a lightsaber, and the masters of lightsaber and katana can both allow the sword-drawing attack to be performed twice, which can be said to be even more powerful.
As soon as the red-cloaked sword spirit grasped the hilt of the sword, the battle-hardened Lin calculated that if he continued to rush forward, he would be hit head-on by a sword-drawing attack just when he arrived in front of him. Moreover, when there was only one enemy within the range of the sword-drawing attack, its attack power would soar to the maximum.
Therefore, Lin painstakingly created the current situation of surprise attack. Of course, he was unwilling to exchange injuries with the opponent. He jumped up suddenly, drew his sword and slashed with it. The sword light like an arc moon flew past his feet, but the extremely sharp sword energy only cut into the air.
The Red Cloak Sword Spirit's attack missed, but he was not panicked. He immediately used the triple-cut sword technique to escape into the distance. Even Du Yuqi often used the triple-cut sword technique. Its purpose was not to hurt people, but to use its high mobility to escape.
After the Ghost Swordsman transforms into a Sword Soul, the three-hit sword technique will be strengthened to a considerable extent, becoming a five-hit sword technique, with more attack segments and stronger escape mobility.
If it had been someone else, the Red Cloak Sword Spirit would have really escaped this time. However, Lin, who had leaped into the air, had already anticipated that the opponent would have such a move. He immediately turned his wrist and raised his hand to shoot out a hidden-tip pen.
The hidden-tip pen was not aimed at a person, because if it was aimed at a person, there might not be a 100% chance of hitting the red-cloaked sword spirit that was trying to escape. So Lin shot at a big tree in front of him. The tree was about the width that a person could hug, and there was a big hole in the tree that looked like it was big enough for a person to hide in to avoid the rain.
After the hole of the tree was hit by the hidden tip pen, a huge crack immediately appeared, and it made a dull creaking sound, and fell down with a loud bang, just in time to block the escape route of the Red Cloak Sword Spirit who was about to make three consecutive slashes!
