The village elder shouted to the surrounding villagers at the head of the bridge: "Calm down, calm down, calm down, stop them, as long as we hold on until the strong man repairs the bridge, we will have hope!"

A villager shouted at him in horror: "Uncle! There are several third-level demon beasts! We can't stop them!"

The village elder was full of despair when he heard this, he looked at the surging group of demon beasts, he couldn't help but cry on the spot, and said: "How is this good, my Chen clan is going to be buried in the mouth of the demon beasts today?

Zhang Teng's people are in the middle of the bridge, the suspension bridge is extremely simple, the wind is blowing on the bridge, the whole suspension bridge has been shaking, and there are not many newly built bridge plates, so it is very difficult to walk.

It will take him a little time to get back to the bridge, and he is afraid that all the villagers will be killed by the monsters.

Those demon beasts seemed to appear out of thin air, too close to the villagers, and the distance between the humans and beasts was only a few feet, and the situation was extremely critical.

Zhang Teng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he was also helpless, and he couldn't help.

Actually, this should not have happened.

The village elder had arranged for two people to go to the sentry before Zhang Teng repaired the bridge, so that the other party would immediately send a warning to everyone when he saw the demon beast coming.

But now, for some reason, the demon beasts have rushed in front of everyone, and the two of them haven't even sent a message back, which is really incomprehensible.

If everyone had received the warning in advance and had been prepared, they would not have been so anxious and helpless.

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly jumped out of the mountain forest on the left side of the bridge, and the man shot sharp arrows at the demon beast almost in the blink of an eye. Those sharp arrows were extremely accurate, and they fell into the eyes of the demon beasts like life, and after a while, the front row of demon beasts became blind.

"Roaring ......"

The demon beasts who were hit by the arrows were blind, and under the pain, they roared again and again. They spun around frantically, scratching and biting everything around them, and even tore apart with other demon beasts, making a mess.

This sudden change gave the villagers a chance to escape, and they hurriedly dodged to the far left of the bridge, avoiding the onslaught of the demon beasts in time.

At this moment, the demon beasts at the head of the bridge are still blindly tearing and killing each other, and the overall impact momentum of the beast group has slowed down a lot. Some blind monsters pushed each other, and under the bite, they didn't know that they were on the cliff, and they fell down one after another, and were washed away by the turbulent river below, and disappeared.

"Whew!"

Seeing this, Zhang Teng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he couldn't care about continuing to repair the bridge, and hurriedly returned to the bridgehead and ran towards the villagers.

On the left side of the bridge, I saw some demon beasts rushing towards the villagers like a tide, and a tall and delicate figure was standing in front of everyone, bending his bow and arrows, constantly shooting the demon beasts that came and blocking them fifty steps away.

"Whoosh ......"

The bowstring sounded again and again, almost without any intermission, and the arrows flew towards the demon beast like meteors. Some low-level small demon beasts were nailed to the ground on the spot, while some large second- and third-level demon beasts were shot at the vital point, lost their combat effectiveness, and lay in place and howled miserably.

One man, one bow, is like a continual fire of war arrows, blocking the herd of beasts like a tide.

"It's ...... Seeing this, the village elder's eyes widened, he looked at the tall figure in front of him, and asked the other party with some uncertainty, "Ning girl, is it you? It's you, it's you, right? Uncle won't recognize the wrong person, it must be you!

The tall figure didn't look back, didn't make a sound, just kept bending his bow and arrows, and kept shooting the demon beast.

However, the village elder was completely sure who the other party was, and when he shouted "A-Ning girl", the other party's body moved obviously. Even if she refuses to respond, this subtle gesture is a silent acknowledgment.

On the other side, Zhang Teng pulled out a wooden plank to serve as a temporary weapon and killed it from the group of demon beasts.

"Village Elder, give me back my knife!" he shouted to the Village Elder as he ran, "Throw them all out!"

When the village elder saw Zhang Teng returning, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and while wiping away his tears, he replied loudly: "Okay, the strong man waits, Xiao Ke will send it to you immediately!"

As he spoke, he staggered in the direction of Zhang Teng while holding two knives.

"Wait, don't mess with him, old man. Give me the knife, I'll just send it over!" the tall figure stopped him with one hand and complained, "When you're old, you're confused, really, can't you change someone else? ”

When the village elder heard the other party speak, he was not only happy, but also a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Hehe, okay, okay, Ning girl, you send you and you send you!hehe...... I won't mix this old bone with me, and I won't trouble you. Here, take the knife, you all be careful. ”

As he spoke, he held the two knives in his arms to the other party.

The other party wore a mask from beginning to end, but the crisp and soft voice, the intimate and rude tone, the tall and brilliant figure, and the exquisite arrowing technique all showed who she was.

She took the two knives handed by the village elder, and said with a little reproach: "The old bones should go back to the back and rest, tossing around all day long, and they are not afraid of falling apart." ”

The village elder was unceremoniously counted down by her, but he didn't see any annoyance, but smiled.

He glanced at her slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my eldest lady, the little old lady will rest on the side." ”

With that, he honestly returned to the crowd.

The entire Chen Village could count him down so unceremoniously, and the people who were happily called Miss by him, except for Chen Ning. The village always watched Chen Ning grow up, and he spoiled her since she was a child, and her spoiling degree was even better than that of his own grandchildren.

Chen Ning didn't pay any attention to him, she turned around and quickly threw the frost and black tiger in her hand to Zhang Teng, and then bent her bow and arrows, and continued to shoot the surrounding demon beasts.

Zhang Teng caught the two knives, he carried the black tiger behind his back, pulled out the frost reflection, returned to the group of demon beasts, and constantly jumped and moved, repeatedly rushing to kill. Chen Ning bent his bow and arrows on the side, and turned to assist Zhang Teng.

I saw the sword light flickering, the sharp arrows rained down, and the two joined forces, and the efficiency of killing the demon beasts was greatly improved, and this wave of attacking demon beasts was quickly cleaned up completely.

At this time, Zhang Teng put away the knife, came to Chen Ning, and said breathlessly: "Huhu...... Pander to...... Miss Aning, since you have revealed your whereabouts, it will not help you to hide it. In this way, let's divide and work together, you go to build the bridge, and I will block the demon beasts, so that everyone can cross the bridge as much as possible before the next wave of beast tides arrives. ”

As he spoke, he handed the remaining rope in his hand to Chen Ning.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”

Chen Ning nodded and didn't say much, she put away her longbow, quickly took the rope from Zhang Teng's hand, ran to the bridge to pick up a bundle of planks, and took over Zhang Teng's original work.

Zhang Teng quickly came to the people of Chen Village, and asked the village elder to give him a few people, and they went to both sides of the mountain road to cut down some trees, made a few simple horse rejection fences, and placed them in the middle of the road at a certain distance to use as an obstacle to buffer the attack of demon beasts.

During this period, Zhang Teng and the others saw the blackened corpse of the previous sentry.

It turned out that the man was bitten by some unknown poisonous insect, and it seemed that he died suddenly before the monster attacked, no wonder he didn't send a message to warn the villagers.

Of course, the shortage of manpower and too few sentry posts are also the main reasons.

Some of the previous bridge materials were scattered along the road, and the rest were busy making new bridge ropes. The village elder only sent two sentry men to watch the wind behind the mountain road.

However, because the sentry in the back was bitten to death by poisonous insects, no one received the signal from the sentry in front of him, which eventually led to the fact that everyone in Chen Village was almost buried in the belly of the demon beast.

Having said that, the first sentry from before is still missing, but I am afraid that it is more than lucky.

Zhang Teng frowned slightly, he thought that the mountains and forests were full of poisonous insects and beasts, and it was not safe and reliable to let a few ordinary villagers who came with him stand guard like the people before.

In order to prevent the previous situation, Zhang Teng set up three sentry barricades. A group of them, together with Zhang Teng himself, was a total of five people.

Zhang Teng personally guarded the front sentry barricade, and assigned two people to guard the back two sentry barricades. The remaining two, one is dedicated to patrolling, and the other is dedicated to delivering news.

Several people agreed to pass the signal every quarter of an hour or so.

If Zhang Teng in front of him can't hold it and is blocked by the demon beast breaking through the barricade, the middle sentry must ensure that the signal is transmitted to the last sentry. At that time, the last sentry will use the sound of arrows as a signal to notify everyone in Chen Village in time, so that everyone can prepare early.

After the arrangements were made, Zhang Teng ate something, brought a bamboo tube filled with water, sat on a tree trunk on the side of the road, and waited quietly.

He knew very well that the previous wave of beast tides was only afraid of attacking those demon beasts in the three major villages. Perhaps for some reason they finally broke up and fled, panicked, and finally met Di Zhang Teng and his party by mistake, and attacked them.

The beast tide created by the mysterious man this time, the number of demon beasts is huge, even if most of them are lost in the attack on the three major villages, there are still many demon beasts surviving.

Normally, as the people of Chen Village get farther and farther away from Suining, the scope of their activities expands, and there should be fewer and fewer demon beasts encountered.

However, something is not quite right at the moment.

The number of demon beasts they encountered increased instead of decreasing, and the number of them increased, and the level became higher and higher.

All kinds of indications show that if all this is not deliberately manipulated by the mysterious person to drive these demon beasts to chase and kill the people of Chen Village, then there is only one situation that can be explained.

It is likely that there is some kind of existence behind the mountain road that makes the demon beasts fear, and at this moment it is on the same route as the people in Chen Village. And those demon beasts were just forced to flee for their lives, and they attacked Chen Cun and his party.

Of course, this is just a guess by Zhang Teng.

Zhang Teng is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, so he does not know the real situation.

All he could do was to block the demon beasts that kept coming and buy time for Chen Ning and them. Let everyone cross the suspension bridge as soon as possible, and after entering Wuning Town, it will be broken into pieces, and finally everyone will be safe.
