Chapter 15: Ambush

"Into the three miles" is actually not big, only about twenty miles in a radius, but because of the treacherous environment and the fact that there is no way out, you can only rely on connected trees to move forward, and you have to always be on guard against sudden attack of fierce beasts, so the speed of progress has been greatly slowed down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As he went deeper into the jungle, Zhanbai's expression became more and more solemn.

Along the way, in just a few miles, he found a large number of footprints on the trunks of trees, and even on the trunks of several towering trees, there were traces of battle.

"Looks like this place is really lively." Zhan Bai propped himself up on the treetops, with a wry smile on his face.

Perhaps because of the distrust that Zhan Bai had expressed before, the woman in red kept a few zhang away from Zhan Bai with an expressionless face, leaning against the treetops, her face was equally solemn, obviously she had also discovered something.

"Hey, are you Fu Manlou's companion?" Zhan Bai suddenly turned around and asked the woman in red.

The woman in red glanced at Zhan Bai, but did not answer.

"Hey, women are just stingy." Zhan Bai pursed his lips, he didn't care too much, after carefully searching the vicinity, he didn't find an ambush, kicked his legs on the trunk of the tree, performed light kung fu, grabbed the vine in the air, and swung towards the next big tree.

At this moment, the woman in red suddenly made a move, quickly pulled out the willow leaf scimitar on her waist, and threw it straight at Zhanbai.

The sharp sound of breaking the sky suddenly made Zhan Bai break out in a cold sweat, almost without any hesitation, his legs slammed between the tree vines, his body fell upside down like a pointer, and his liberated hands had already drawn out the long sword borrowed by Liu Chengying, and swung towards the scimitar that flew in.

The force on the scimitar was very strange, and after being swung away by the long sword, it flew back towards the way it came, but the vine borrowed by Zhanbai deviated from the direction due to the reaction force and swung towards another big tree.

At the moment of hitting the trunk of the tree, Zhan Bai tightened his waist violently, and the whole person was entangled like a snake, and climbed up to a forked trunk in a few churns, and his whole body was already dripping with cold sweat.

"Crazy woman, what are you doing?" Zhan Bai's face turned blue and shouted to the woman in red in the distance.

Huh... ......

Without waiting for the woman in red to answer, several slight sounds of breaking the sky sounded, followed by the sound of bang, bang, bang.

followed the prestige, but saw that on the big tree next to which he was supposed to stay, more than a dozen arrows with trembling wings were nailed.

Enemy Attack!!

Almost instantly, Zhanbai didn't have time to rejoice, and his body suddenly shrank into the dense leaves.

The other party is not only tightly hidden, but also the timing of the shot is also extremely accurate and ruthless, if it wasn't for the woman in red just now, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have time to react at all, and I would have been shot into a hedgehog.

Thinking of this, Zhan Bai couldn't help but look at the woman in red gratefully, but he never found her figure again, and obviously hid like himself.

Call...... Rustling......

The strong wind blows the leaves, and the hidden killing intent gradually surfaces.

"Want to be a hunter? Hmph......" Zhan Bai looked at the dense tree that shot the arrow before, and the long sword in his hand suddenly sprinkled endless sword light.

The leaves around him were all sprinkled, but strangely they didn't fall, but stuck to the long sword.

There were more and more leaves, and under the attraction of the long sword, it turned into a huge zongzi, which was the size of a person.

"Go."

Zhan Bai's long sword swung quickly, throwing the "zongzi" stuck to the long sword towards the tree where the enemy was hiding.

"Beware of the man hiding behind leaves." Finally, a cold drink sounded on the hiding tree, and before the "zongzi" flew in, dozens of arrows flew out again, and the huge force collided on the "zongzi", causing it to fall apart in an instant, swaying down, and spreading a thick layer of green leaves on the mire below.

"Not good." The voice of the same person, when he saw that there was no human figure behind the falling leaves, this person obviously realized something.

The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark.

Yes, Zhanbai took advantage of the fact that the zongzi was broken, and the leaves were scattered, interfering with the other party's vision, and he himself had already swept over several big trees at a rapid speed and attacked from the side.

As Zhanbai's figure disappeared into the big tree hidden by the unknown people, in an instant, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and the dense leaves were torn apart by the sword light in a very short period of time, and scattered in all directions.

On the large tree, which had become almost bare, Zhanbai stood on the central trunk, and on the treetops around it, ten people were gathered around, and their standard night clothes were covered with leaves, and even their faces were smeared with green juice. The camouflage is so deep, no wonder it can escape Zhanbai's detection.

"Who are you?" Zhan Bai held the long sword in his hand and looked around coldly.

"The one who wants your life."

As soon as the words fell, the ten people had already quickly thrown away the longbows and arrows in their hands, replaced them with bright swords, and rushed towards Zhanbai.

The short fight made Zhanbai's forehead frown slightly, these ten people, if they fought alone, absolutely none of them could get out of their hands ten moves, but the cooperation of the ten people was extremely tacit, different people, different weapons, different moves, always echoed each other, so that Zhanbai clearly found a flaw, but he was powerless to fight back, and could only rely on the five accusation sword skills that were different from ordinary people, and they could fight quite well.

Not to mention Zhanbai's side, the ten people in night clothes were also secretly surprised in their hearts, the weak scholar in front of him, the swordsmanship was too weird, a long sword flowed in the five-finger sword, and he didn't see how exquisite the swordsmanship was used, but every sword stabbed out was an attack that would be saved, so that he and others had to do everything they could, and their mental focus had to echo each other in order to crack it, so that the invincible battle array could not exert its due power, and the feeling of indescribable grievances.

"Hmph, let's see how long you last." There was an angry shout among the night-clad men, believing that with the passage of time, whether physical or energetic, the scholar would sooner or later show his flaws, and then he would be beheaded.

"Hey, who knows, maybe it's the next time." Zhanbai's relaxed smile made the other party feel strongly uneasy.

"Oops, there's a woman."

Before the ten people could react, a scream had already been heard.

In the midst of the blood flying, the person who was dressed overnight was instantly detached, spilling steaming blood.

The sword flashed, and the woman in red who was forgotten by Yexingyi and others suddenly appeared, and killed one person in one shot.

As Zhan Bai said, it was just the next moment that the situation took a sharp turn. The balance formed by ten to one, after becoming two to nine, there is no longer any suspense.

"Withdraw." After losing four more people, Yexingyi and the others decisively evacuated, and the remaining five people reached into their arms almost at the same time, and after sprinkling countless hidden weapons at Zhanbai and the woman in red, they didn't even look at it, and each found a direction to escape.

"It's leaving, it's really not taking care of it." Zhan Bai smiled, grasped the long sword, and stirred towards the attacking hidden weapon, its move was almost the same as the previous leaf cutting, and the entire long sword was full of hidden weapons, throwing it out in the direction of the enemy's escape.

Yes... Yes......

Two unlucky eggs, right in the air, had nowhere to borrow strength, were injured by hidden weapons, fell from mid-air, fell into the swamp, and before they could struggle, the man-eating crocodiles that had long been ready to attack in the quagmire pounced fiercely.

Although he still let the other party escape, Zhan Bai didn't have too many regrets, but turned to the woman in red and thanked him sincerely, "Before I take it back, if there is anything offended, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The woman put the knife into the sheath, found a comfortable branch, and sat cross-legged, without even looking at Zhanbai.

Zhan Bai scratched his head in embarrassment, it seems that this little girl is very resentful.

Although he was slandered in his heart, after all, the other party had just saved his life, and he did say the wrong thing before, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit secretly.

"Hey, girl, you really can't speak, do you?" Zhan Bai tentatively found a topic to chat with.

……

"How did you find out about the ambush just now?"

……

"Hey, that's not good, after all, we're grasshoppers on the same boat now, and we have to give some face."

……

Zhanbai never knew that he still had such a chattering side, but Rao was like this, he didn't get a reply from the woman in red, and he didn't even get a look.

"Forget it, it seems that you are really deaf and dumb." In the end, Zhanbai had to give up and find a place to breathe the fatigue of the previous battle.

What the two didn't know was that at this time, in the middle of this jungle swamp, a fierce battle was unfolding.

On every big tree within a radius of 100 zhang, there are almost two figures fighting each other, and in the splash of blood, there are screams from time to time, and corpses are planted from the big trees. The swamp below has turned a dark red, attracting enough man-eating crocodiles to make your scalp tingle.

……

Sitting on the treetops, Zhanbai took out the painting scroll given by Liu Chengying from his arms, and once again confirmed the physical characteristics of the smoke flower.

"It's not too early, we need to speed up the search." Zhan Bai glanced at the hourglass and said to the woman in red.

The woman in red did not respond, but stood up first, closed and opened her eyes, looked for a direction, and galloped away.

"This woman...... Mo Fei, like Yu Du, has an inexplicable intuition...... "Looking at the departing figure of the woman in red, Zhan Bai groped his chin, his eyes were full of interest, "Hey, wait for me." ”
