The wealthy merchant's head exploded along with the shield.
The head of the family, Jin Shijie, was shocked to see the wealthy businessman's miserable state.
"How is this possible?!"
You have to understand that the Gold-Swallowing Shield is the strongest defensive ability in their Golden Summit Safe Zone, so how could it be broken so easily?
"The man who fired the cannon is dead!" the refugees shouted excitedly.
"It's the sharpshooter, he didn't leave!"
"Li Yu is back."
Everyone saw hope again and surged forward like a tide once more.
"Charge!"
"Da da da." Wang Qinshui's team also opened fire at the same time, launching a fierce barrage of fire against the Golden Peak Guards on the canyon.
In an instant, the crowd actually managed to reach the mouth of the canyon.
"Savages, I'll fight you to the death!" The woman in fine clothes led the Zhang family members to block their way.
"Form ranks!" The Zhang family members seemed determined to perish together with the refugees.
"Thump."
"Thump, thump."
Heavy running sounds came from behind, and everyone turned around to look.
Suddenly, two strange beasts with blood-red eyes rushed out from behind the refugees. The beasts seemed not to see the refugees around them and charged straight at the woman in fine clothes.
"It's a monster! Run!"
"wrong."
"It seems they're targeting the Zhang family."
The two enormous beasts immediately disrupted the Zhang family's formation.
"A great opportunity!"
The awakened ones and the refugees took advantage of the chaos to rush forward and mingled with the Zhang family.
Switching successful
After taking out the gunner.
A kilometer away, Li Yu put down his bow and crossbow and quickly moved away on his little black horse.
"They actually helped us hold off the pursuers."
After realizing what was happening, Fu Xiyao was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, as she had never seen anything like it before.
"It might be Ma Yuanbai and his group," Li Yu guessed, then continued:
"Let's go closer; maybe we can take advantage of the chaos to cross the canyon."
Although Li Yu was also curious, she did not believe that the refugees were helping them.
After all, refugees always live in isolation, so how could they suddenly help others?
On the canyon.
Jin Shijie, seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, kept directing the operation.
"Stay calm! Don't panic."
Jin Shijie pointed at the cannon and shouted to the guards beside him, "You guys, go and fire the cannon!"
The three guards hurriedly ran towards the cannon.
Jin Shijie knew that with the power of the cannons, a few shots would quickly defeat this rabble.
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
"Whoosh."
Three whooshing sounds rang out as three Golden-Topped Guards, who were loading the cannon, were pierced through the chest by arrows and fell beside it.
"Damn it!" Jin Shijie then realized the enormous threat posed by Li Yu.
"You go and fire the cannons. This time, I'll personally protect you!" Jin Shijie pointed to the guards beside him and continued to give orders.
"Yes, Master." Three more figures walked quickly toward the cannon.
Jin Shijie suddenly grabbed two slaves and refugees lying on the ground.
Although he was short, he carried the two slaves as if they were two weightless chicks, and reached the cannon in just a few steps.
Seeing the patriarch standing beside them, the three guards felt much more at ease and began nervously loading cannonballs.
Jin Shijie's hands slowly turned golden, as if absorbing something from the slave's body.
"Ah...woo..."
The two slaves in his hands struggled and screamed in agony, and soon died.
"Three-layered Gold-Swallowing Shield!" Jin Shijie activated his supernatural ability.
In an instant, nine dark gold shields materialized around Jin Shijie, standing firmly on the ground.
The cannons and guards were protected by layers upon layers of protection.
"Hahaha!"
"Let's see who can hurt me!" Jin Shijie laughed arrogantly.
"Load the shells quickly."
The three guards quickened their pace and completed the loading.
As the cannons began to adjust their muzzle directions, the refugees seemed unconcerned.
"Charge!"
"The archer is back."
"With Li Yu here, everyone don't need to be afraid!"
Just as they approached, Li Yu, who was hiding nearby, heard the loud shouts of the refugees and almost fell off his horse.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid?"
Do you want to hear what you're saying?
"I'm not your guardian angel!"
"Besides, didn't you see they have three layers of shields?" Li Yu was speechless for a moment, constantly complaining about these refugees in his mind.
"You guys are practically roasting me alive."
But seeing the cannonballs already aimed at the refugees and about to be fired, Li Yu finally raised his bow and arrow with a helpless expression.
As Li Yu aimed.
Jin Shijie's slightly narrowed eyes widened instantly; he had keenly sensed the threat.
Turning his head to look in Li Yu's direction, Jin Shijie stretched out his golden hands and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, you didn't expect I had a final trump card, did you?"
Jin Shijie reached out with both hands towards the direction where Li Yu was.
"It's no use no matter how far you hide."
"I never imagined that my last resort would be used on a low-class savage like you."
Jin Shijie originally thought that he would only use this move in the battle against the Holy Son.
Li Yu raised his bow and arrow high, about to shoot to stop the cannon fire.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from the bow and arrow.
"Give it to me." Jin Shijie activated his supernatural ability.
A pair of golden hands grasped the bow and arrow in Li Yu's hand from a distance.
No one would have guessed that Jin Shijie's true superpower was "telekinesis," commonly known as stealing, and that he had been a master of telekinesis since childhood.
