Chapter 086: Breaking Through the Void (Part I)
Immediately afterwards, the exhibition bird shot like the wind, constantly repeating the actions of taking arrows, wrapping oil, igniting fire, and shooting. It wasn't until he reached out and touched the arrow that he realized that he had actually launched a pot of arrows with a full thirty feather arrows in just a few breaths!
Seeing that the body of the tree was almost completely engulfed by the flames, both the sword and shield guards guarding the wood and the strong bandits holding the wood shouted and shouted in embarrassment to avoid the burning wood, and then they let out a long breath of turbidity.
In fact, his shoulders were now so sore and swollen that he could barely lift his arms. I didn't feel it at the moment when I was in a hurry, but now I relaxed and felt that my entire right hand was almost completely out of my own. However, in any case, for the most difficult crisis in the bandit attack, he finally resolved it invisibly with his own strength, and the sense of accomplishment and pride in it was self-evident, and this also made the Xie Mansion family inside the high wall look at him with a strong sense of worship.
Of course, it is also fortunate that Xie Fu is not a high-walled city, and the distance of the arrow shot at the striking wood is short enough that the Zhan Bird only needs half the strength of the normal winding. Otherwise, thirty powerful arrows in a row alone would be enough to destroy the entire arm. Now that this wave of attacks has been resolved, the attacking team has fled back to their own camp in embarrassment, and I don't know what other offensive methods the thief chief can come up with next.
After two futile attempts to attack and hit the wood, the thief chief should have understood that the bone of Xie Fu is really hard. If it is only a frontal attack, Zhan Bird can be said to be fearless, and if the bandits want to gnaw this hard bone, I am afraid that they can only think of some other ways from other aspects.
Thinking of this, Zhan Yu couldn't help but set his eyes on the location of the trail in the back mountain. There was no light, and it was completely enveloped in the thick of the night, and it was dark and dull like the monstrous maw of a silent beast. Zhan Bird frowned, looking at that side with eyes full of unconfidence, and couldn't help muttering:
"Young master, you shouldn't disappoint the birds!"
……
Xie Zuo squatted on the rock, and the two waves of the bandits' attacks were in full view. When I saw the raging fire ignited by the crashing wood, I couldn't help but wave my fist excitedly! Well done show birds! Only by guarding the Xie Mansion can he have the capital to settle down in this world. And even the famous Panshan Cottage can only return in front of the high wall of Xie Mansion, how can he not be excited and proud of it?
Just when Xie Zuo was overjoyed, a soft sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
The sound was soft, as if it were the impact of small pieces of rubble rolling and sliding. Mixed with the shouting and cheering from the direction of the Xie family's compound, it was not significant at all. Fortunately, the distance was close, and Xie Zuo had been paying attention to the movement under the mountain, so he keenly captured this sound.
It is a steep mountain road, but it seems not surprising that there is a gravel slide due to the mountain wind, loose rock walls, etc. But the sound came from the direction of the foot of the mountain, Xie Zuo didn't dare to take the risk, and quickly lowered his body, and the whole person lay on the rock, only raised his head, and looked intently at the road down the mountain.
The night was deep, and everything in sight seemed to be wrapped in a hazy night, and it was impossible to see clearly. Fortunately, Xie Zuo had been in the darkness long enough, and his vision had adapted to the darkness, so he could barely see clearly.
The trail up the mountain in the dark seems to be normal at first glance. If it weren't for Xie Zuo's intently staring at the way he came, it would have been difficult to notice anything unusual.
The mountain road is made of natural passages, and some of them are artificially repaired, and there are naturally many rocks on both sides of the road, so it is inevitable that there will be many obstructions to the view. Just between the two boulders about sixty meters away from Xie Zuo, a black shadow flickered by. If you don't pay close attention, you will almost think that it is just dazzling!
Suddenly, another black shadow flashed along the same trajectory. Immediately after that, the third and fourth ...... More than 20 figures flashed!
Probably not aware of the movement, the black shadow behind the boulder flashed again, like a spirit ape, sliding loach, actually slipped to the ground, and jumped behind another mountain rock on the other side of the road! As expected, more than 20 black shadows followed by also flashed, plunged, and hidden, and the movements were completed in one go, obviously all of them were masters of wandering in the mountains! They moved skillfully, connected closely, and under the cover of the night and the rocks, they quietly and slowly approached Xie Zuo's hiding place!
What a chicken thief! Xie Zuo scolded secretly. If it weren't for the sound of which buddy accidentally stepped on a slippery stone, with their weird way of acting, if they were not careful, it was really possible for them to touch the mountain without knowing it! Although they may not be discovered hiding on the top of the rock, if they are allowed to sneak up to the top of the mountain, and then sneak into the backyard of the Xie Mansion along the Eagle's Beak Cliff...... The consequences are really unimaginable!
Layers of cold sweat oozed from Xie Zuo's back. He didn't expect that the bandit was much more cunning than he expected. Calculating the time, this team that sneaked up on the back mountain should have set off at the same time as the attacking team that was holding the crashing wood. The bandits did not consider a roundabout way after the failure of the frontal assault, but chose to attack in two ways together, and arranged a sneak attack team while sending a siege team, and the sneak attack sent by them were clearly proficient in night raids and mountain marches, which was really not to be underestimated!
Seeing that the sneak attack team was less than thirty meters away from his location, Xie Zuo didn't dare to wait any longer, shrank up, and slowly retreated to the back of the boulder by the same path. Reaching into his arms, he took out the back order that had already been soaked in sweat, licked his lips that were a little dry, and silently pronounced the word "summon" in his heart.
For the back warrior who has high hopes for him, Xie Zuo is naturally full of expectations. Speaking of which, summoning this method is too fantasy after all, and Xie Zuo himself is a little unconfident. In what way will they appear? Did it fall from the sky, or did it come from stepping through the void? At this moment, Xie Zuo found that he was nervous for no reason, and his palms were soaked with slippery sweat.
His eyes stared at his surroundings without blinking, and just as his eye sockets began to be sour, suddenly there was a blurred fluctuation in the air around him.
As if the vision was distorted by the heat, a shaky tremor began in the space within five meters of his body. Then, in the distorted line of sight, there was a column of cyan smoke, then it was divided into two, two and four, and finally divided into twelve streams. The column of smoke expands and expands from the inside out, and gradually expands into a human form! When the distorted space around his body returned to normal, twelve fiercely armed warriors who were as silent as rocks stood in front of Xie Zuo like javelins!
