Chapter 205: Love to Join in the Fun
The retreat was blocked by the skeleton soldiers, and this situation made the hyenas more panicked.
He had lost the will to fight a long time ago, and it was good enough that he could display 70% of his original strength.
After that, no one knew who took the lead, but the moment the first hyena turned around and ran away, the hyena people's offensive collapsed.
No matter how the hyena queen hiding in the dark shouts and curses, she cannot change this reality.
Zhou Xu was also unable to change this reality.
After finally strengthening his body, he faced the hyenas in his own home court. Relying on the tactics he had practiced countless times in his mind, he consumed the enemy's energy while trapping them in the 'Skeleton Quagmire'.
Just as his tactics were gradually taking effect, the moment he turned his head, the fatal weakness of his tactics at this stage was exposed.
That is, if the other party wants to break through by force, he will most likely not be able to stop him.
One reason is that the skeleton soldiers are relatively fragile and not strong enough, so they cannot be intercepted by force.
Another reason is that even with the addition of the 'Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement' BUFF, the speed of the Skeleton Soldiers is basically maintained at a normal level, which is far from fast.
This also allows the hyenas to quickly escape after breaking through the skeleton soldiers' interception network.
Zhou Xu was aware of this, so in the chaos of the battle, he calmly mobilized the skeleton soldiers to cut off the opponent's retreat.
But it turned out that this interception did not have the desired effect when the opponent wanted to break through by force.
He wanted to give chase, but considering the speed of the skeleton soldiers, this would be a pure waste of time and mantra power.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Xu, who was about to release the mantra, stopped immediately, and while commanding the skeleton soldiers to maintain their momentum and continue the pursuit, he quickly gave the order...
"Get on the horse and give chase! Quick!"
While speaking, Zhou Xu took two quick steps and quickly jumped onto the horse.
In Caoyuan Village, not all soldiers went out to perform their missions, some of them stayed in the village.
There were too many hyena people before, so Zhou Xu naturally didn't expand his power to the point of just taking a few cavalrymen to chase them down.
But now the situation is undoubtedly different...
With the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry team led by Ye Jinghong returned from the mission! During this time, the hyenas immediately scattered as soon as they saw them chasing them, which greatly increased the difficulty of their pursuit.
Judging from the situation, even if they invested a lot of time and energy, they probably wouldn't be able to kill many of them after a hunt.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu immediately changed his plan.
"Ignore them, the Hyena Queen is hiding nearby, kill the Hyena Queen!"
Zhou Xu, who had been chasing on horseback, shouted loudly when he saw the man.
Upon hearing the order, Ye Jinghong reacted quickly, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head.
"Find it quickly!"
Although they have just returned from their mission, the soldiers have done a lot of physical training on a daily basis in order to make them all-round soldiers.
And now, the value of this training has finally been demonstrated.
At this moment, everyone's condition was perfect, and they immediately took action after receiving the order.
But in their opinion, these hyena people all look the same, and it is extremely difficult for them to recognize them.
【Eye of Insight! 】
In order to improve efficiency, Zhou Xu directly opened the Eye of Insight.
[Logically, the size of the hyena queen should be larger than that of ordinary hyena men, but these hyena men all seem to be about the same size! ]
Zhou Xu quickly scanned the room and felt a headache coming on.
At this moment, a howl suddenly came from the snow in the distance! "Chitose?!"
The familiar howling sound made Zhou Xu stunned, and he subconsciously looked back in the direction of the village.
At that time, all his energy was focused on controlling the skeleton soldiers, and he really didn't notice where Qiansui had gone.
Now that he heard the noise, Zhou Xu didn't have time to think about it. He hurriedly pulled the reins and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
The distance was not far. At this moment, Qiansui was howling angrily and confronting a hyena man.
"This kid Qiansui really loves to join in the fun!"
Zhou Xu was very troubled by Qiansui's temper.
But on second thought, from the perspective of a cat, at this time, it should be in a lively and active stage with a strong hunting desire.
Anyway, wherever there is excitement, you will definitely find it.
Qiansui's character made Zhou Xu speechless.
But after being speechless, he soon realized a problem...
[Wait a minute, looking at Chitose's current position, it must have escaped a long time ago. But the problem is that the hyena has just started to run away, how come it is facing it so quickly? ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu, who had already guessed a possibility, felt his heart beating faster.
[Could it be that this is the hyena queen who hid outside at the beginning? ! ]
Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through his mind, in the snow in the distance, Qiansui and the hyena-man who was suspected to be the hyena queen had already been fighting back and forth for several rounds, and Zhou Xu couldn't help but blink a few times.
In his impression, Qiansui is still just a naughty kid. Although he has some fighting ability, he can only howl a few times and launch noise attacks.
It is basically impossible to win against the hyenas alone.
With this doubt in his heart, Zhou Xu was not so anxious at the moment.
"Go and call Zhou Chongshan over."
While instructing a cavalryman who was traveling with him, Zhou Xu's eyes were always on Qiansui and the hyena man, and never moved away.
After careful observation, Zhou Xu soon discovered that the hyena man was not in good physical condition. He looked like he had been malnourished for a long time and was starving to the point of being skin and bones.
But even so, there is no denying the ferocity of the opponent's attacks. Every attack carries a threat that cannot be ignored.
Qiansui, on the other hand, was at his wit's end. Every time he could only disturb the opponent by howling, but he couldn't easily pounce on him and cause effective damage to the hyena man.
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Zhou Chongshan had already rushed over on horseback.
"leader."
"Chongshan, did you see the hyena man who is fighting Qiansui? If things go wrong later, just shoot the hyena man and ensure Qiansui's safety."
"yes!"
With a response, Zhou Chongshan took the beast horn bow in his hand, and at the same time, the arrow was lightly placed on the string, ready to shoot at any time.
The reason why Zhou Chongshan was specifically asked to do this task was undoubtedly because of the issue of archery skills.
Zhou Xu himself was usually busy with various internal work and had little time to practice martial arts, so his archery skills could only be described as so-so.
Zhou Xu dared not gamble when it came to Qiansui's life.
