Chapter 10: First Encounter with the Enemy

The next morning, they set out on their journey again, and soon after, the two finally crossed the border of the royal city of "Comtbrei", and the comfortable journey was coming to an end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because once you cross it, it means that there is a primeval forest area ahead, and it is extremely inaccessible to people. Naturally, for the part beyond the territory of "Comtbreis", of course, it is impossible to send any armed forces to patrol here, which means that in the event of danger, the two will be completely isolated.

Between the steep and treacherous mountains, there are winding and winding forest paths of dragons and snakes, and all sides are covered by vast expanses of giant trees. In the deep mountains, which are already rarely visited, some refugees have appeared one after another, and the more they continue to move forward, the more harsh and sad the refugees' expressions become.

On a road where the trees were a little sparse, the number of people who packed their luggage and dragged their families to flee gradually increased. The two casually found a passer-by, inquired and inquired, and only after inquiring did they know that those who fled were all villagers in the Moriyama, because they were attacked by the --- "Fog Coffin" that was rampant in many city-states of the Shengchen Empire, and began to flee, and it is said that many villages were destroyed because of this.

Chenxing: "From now on, we need to be vigilant, because we could be attacked at any time, you know?"

After all, it's out of the border, so even if Ran Yue usually looks innocent and cute, plus a lively and cute appearance, she still feels the "sense of crisis" lurking in the jungle at this moment, so she no longer shows her love to joke and tease people at will, after all, she is not a child without intelligence.

Dye Yue: "yes, you're right. Be cautious indeed, the enemy will almost make a move around here. ”

Chenxing: "How can you be so sure?"

Dye Yue: "Because this is already beyond the border of the royal city, it is located at the junction of several city-states, which is originally an area outside the legal constraints, and it is itself a haunt for criminal groups. In the past, several caravans were in distress here. And the enemies will be defeated one by one before we can assemble."

Chenxing: "You really know, I, a foreigner, know almost nothing about the evil that the "Fog Coffin" has done in recent years. However, you have already asked the Lord the King quite thoroughly. Next, as long as you are calm and sensible, it will not be so difficult. You don't have to be afraid."

Dye Yue: "Then please, thank you!"

After that, as the road continued to prolong, Dye Yue not only began to be silent, but even the sound of breathing became more and more rapid, and the slender little hand soon couldn't help but reach out, holding Chenxing's palm, and then clenching it tighter and tighter, gradually being able to feel a heat from the palm of the hand, accompanied by wet sweat, penetrating (transpiring) out of the body. Later, he simply held Chenxing's arm with his own hands and glued Chenxing tightly.

Until finally, a small hand, reaching out from the ring arm, began to cover its chest and moan softly. Therefore, Chenxing couldn't help it, so he stopped and began to ask:

"Dye the Moon!"

Sometsuki didn't respond, just caressed her chest and continued to moan in a low voice, a worried look on her rather uncomfortable-looking face.

"Sometsuki, what's wrong with you? Are you nervous? Or are you feeling sick there?"

"Dye the Moon!"

"Oh, I'm here!"

Chenxing: "Are you scared? Don't worry, I'll protect you." ”

Dye Yue's cheeks began to get angry and hot at this moment. Then, he let go of the arm holding Chenxing and gently brushed the sweat off his face, as if to remind himself not to panic.

Chenxing: "Calm down, I'm here, I'll stand in front of you!"

Dye Yue: "I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, how can this be?"

Chenxing: "You haven't really been on the battlefield, haven't you seen real death and terror?"

Sometsuki: "Well, there's really no one."

"Oops, that's true!"

Dye Yue: "Chenxing, that, in fact, I also know that I am weak, you also saw it at the last temple competition, I was beaten badly by that guy from Ruhr Jones, if you didn't show up in time, I'm afraid I would have been..."

Sometsuki's breathing gradually stabilized. Staring at Chenxing, he said.

Chenxing: "It's okay, don't think about it now, because as soon as you get to the actual battle, you will gradually forget your fear, just like before the start of the game, the contestants are very nervous, but once the horn blows, people's depression and tension will be released." ”

Yesterday, I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the Pure Land Orchard of Bliss, but now I am so anxious and uneasy, it seems that it is the first time that I am facing the threat of death that may be illuminated, no matter who it is, it will be more or less like this.

Stop, rest for a while, eat a few strawberries I picked yesterday, calm down, soothe your breath, breathe in the clear air of nature, imagine yourself as one with nature, the feeling of being one with nature, listen to the sound of the wind, feel the pulse of the earth, the clarity of the water and the coolness of the flow・・・・・・

Chenxing: "Are you feeling better, have you calmed down?"

Dye Yue closed her eyes and recuperated her mind, and integrated her nervous heart into all things in nature, which seemed to have been purified and cultivated. Finally, my breathing has calmed down to my previous level, and there is even a refreshing pleasure that I have just woken up from sleep.

Dye Yue: "I feel much more at peace now, thank you, your method really works!"

Chenxing: "Listen to the sound of nature, this is a good thing that my master taught me!Okay, since you're fine, then let's go now, according to the map, there seems to be an ancient ruin ahead, where to camp tonight, I'm thinking that a few other people should also arrive, where are they waiting for us." If we all succeed in getting rid of the enemy, gather together quietly, and then suddenly concentrate all our forces, we will probably be able to "break through" before the enemy who is searching for us finds and closes the siege!"

Dyzuki: "Okay!"

At that moment, out of the bushes in the woods, a young woman with a wounded foot with a little girl, apparently her daughter, sprang out. Shouting for help.

Chenxing: "What's wrong with you, did you encounter something?"

Woman: "Please, save us, our village, just ahead, was attacked by thieves, the thieves set fire to the village, we were orphans and widows, we managed to escape, but our feet also fell down the hillside and were injured in the process of escaping." I'm afraid the thieves are going to catch up. ”

Chenxing: "What?thief??What are the characteristics of a thief?How far is your village from here?"

Woman: "The thief, there is a pattern on the clothes on his arm, it is a coffin and a black cloud, they are probably the "coffins of the fog" that have been more active in recent years. We mother and daughter were scared. ”

Chenxing: "I see, so be it, you get on our horses and go to the royal city of Comtbreeth." Let's go check it out. ”

After saying that, he gave the only horse to the young woman with the child, and the woman took the horse with gratitude while howling and weeping, and galloped away with her daughter.

Chenxing: "I see, because the time of our departure and the path we chose to get out of the city were different, and they were kept strictly secret. Therefore, even among a few people, it is impossible to know the whereabouts of all the people clearly, and in the vast wilderness, there are no standard roads in many places, even forest trails, there are very few.

Moreover, before the king left, he reminded us not to take the road built by man, so we directly crossed the mountains and crossed the river. Walk through the mountains. The enemy only has about 1,000 troops, although in terms of the number of people, it seems to far surpass us, but to put a thousand people in such an environment as the primeval forest, searching for several groups of people, maybe a total of only a few dozen, is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack!

Even if it is a division of troops to search, it is impossible, and it is easy to be broken by each one, because after dispersion, the number is only more than a hundred people on the average side, and they are all B-level junior miscellaneous soldiers, in the face of A-level intermediate martial artists, even if there is only one person, it is difficult to deal with, even if it is with the tactics of crowds, A-level intermediate martial artists, can also rely on the speed far beyond the B-level primary, with the help of the complex ecological terrain of the primeval forest, there is no problem at all.

Moreover, it is not possible to judge which of the "Heber Crystal Stones" is real, so even if the traces are found and chased, it is very likely that they will end up empty, and the troops will lose more than half of them, or they will be led by the nose away from the real crystal holders, dispersing the forces for his successful breakthrough.

It seems that they are trying to use our sympathy to attack the village and lure us in. What a despicable plan!"

Dye Yue: "Then, now that we know, do we still want to go over?"

Chenxing: "Of course, my master also taught me to be righteous and help the weak." So even though it is obvious that it is a trap, we still have to go!"

・・・・・・

The thieves who are setting fire to the village, there are about ten people, all of them are tall and burly, with an average height of more than one meter nine, and their volume looks like a big grizzly bear, but everyone is holding a torch in their hands, and an axe hangs from their waists, and sure enough, on the left shoulder, there is a pattern of "foggy coffin".

Attacked and tied to the side of the open space were young women and small children. The vast majority of the people were slightly injured, and the young and beautiful women were tied up with five flowers, and their necks, chests, abdomen, back, thighs, and back wrists were strangled by dark black rough hemp rope, and their clothes were also broken by the excessive pressure of the hemp rope.

And places such as the thighs and back wrists, because of the lack of clothing protection, the hemp rope is directly embedded in the flesh, from the inside out, a lot of blood seeps out, this situation should be because of the veins and blood vessels.

This rude way of not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade caused a trace of contempt and resentment from the bottom of Ran Yue's heart, and of course, it was mixed with some empathetic trembling, and she couldn't help but shiver a little. I must have thought to myself if I was caught like this・・・・・・

Chenxing: "Don't be afraid, Dye Yue, you just hide here, I just looked at the rear, and left and right sides, and found that there are no other lurking enemies, they all taught me, you use your chain martial arts, pay attention to protect yourself, I will deal with them immediately." ”

After saying that, Chenxing immediately released the golden magic power, condensed it into a sharp sword, and immediately rushed towards the enemy.

When several thieves noticed the murderous star that was speeding towards them, they immediately took out the axe hanging behind them, condensed the magic power on it, and slashed it several times. At this time, Chenxing immediately rolled and jumped forward, and after accurately avoiding the attack, he got close to his body, slashed his sword horizontally, and immediately cut the neck of a thief, and blood suddenly gushed like a pillar.

Next, the thieves roared while raising their axes to surround Chenxing, but because their level was only B-level primary, their magic power was very weak, and although they were tall, their agility was very poor, so the so-called encirclement, before it had time to form, was jumped out of the air attack between Chenxing, and then flashed behind a thief, a sword slashed at the back, and at the same time that the blood was splashed into a blood mist, a terrible scream also sounded.

Another gangster, who died in Huangquan...

Then, Chenxing immediately swung his sword quickly, and then slashed out more than a dozen golden sword rays, so that the remaining eight or nine gangsters who didn't have time to dodge instantly suffered different degrees of damage, the closer ones, the more accurate ones, of course, were directly killed. A little behind, he barely resisted the attack with an axe, but the axe made of ordinary metal was also shattered in an instant, and even three gangsters were cut by broken metal fragments, and they were probably hopeless・・・・・・

The remaining five or six gangsters began to besiege Chenxing like crazy, and it seemed that Chenxing was surrounded, but unfortunately, Chenxing used the "empty step" to condense magic between his feet, trampled on the void, and flew into the air again temporarily, and the gangsters who surrounded him threw the axe directly, hoping that this would hit Chenxing, but after Chenxing dodged this counterattack, the gangsters who attacked him left and right before and after, and he was hit by his own people's axes, and of course it would be miserable next time. In the end, in less than thirty seconds, the battle ended with a huge disparity in strength, and the enemy was completely destroyed・・・・・・
