138. Pursuit
Qin Haiyan is here day and night, and she didn't close her eyes all night in order to hurry.
Those slaves were also very cooperative, and they clearly knew that this was for their own lives and to be able to live, so no matter how hard and tired they were, they did not complain at all.
Fortunately, few of these slaves are Terrans, although they are still a little weak now, their physique is still much stronger than that of Terrans, and their natural footsteps are much faster.
In addition, Qin Haiyan made some adjustments to them, such as a tall ogre, like a little giant, who can carry those who can't walk fast, for them, a hundred pounds of objects is not too heavy a burden.
What's more, there are not many people who need to carry it on their backs, and they can be divided and cooperated.
As a result, what used to take two days to travel has now been reduced to one day.
"Why haven't the cat and Burton come back yet!"
Emma turned back frequently, wanting to see Chen Nai and Burton's expressions, logically speaking, they should catch up, but so far there has been no human figure, which makes Emma very worried.
"Sister Qin, you said that Master Cat and Burton, it shouldn't have been an encounter with the pursuers!"
"Probably not!"
Qin Haiyan is not too sure, the soul contract makes her have a special connection with Chen Nai, she can feel Chen Nai's current state, there is no danger, but the specific situation is not known.
Coupled with the relationship between the distance, the spiritual connection, and the dialogue connection between the teams, it is not used now.
The only thing that can be said for sure is that Chen Nai is not in danger, as for what he is doing, it is unknown.
The current situation is a big challenge for Qin Haiyan, but as a leader, she can't show any fearful expression at this time, let alone panic.
There was only one thing she had to do, and that was to calm down and bring all these people back.
Not far ahead, faintly rippling water, she saw the river.
Not far from the river bank is the Berserker tribe, and after crossing the river, they are much safer.
Qin Haiyan thought so, and felt a little relaxed in his heart, but at this time, Charlie came with bad news.
"Your Highness, someone is catching up from behind."
Charlie stood relatively high, his eyes glowing with blue light, this is a reconnaissance skill.
"How many of them are there?"
"About 1,000 people."
Charlie's scouting skills can only be seen in a general way, after all, he is not a professional scout.
"Quick, cross the river immediately, everyone, hurry."
Qin Haiyan cast a spell and froze the surface of the river, and the ice was slippery and much less resistant.
Ogres and orcs have rough skin and thick flesh, but they are not afraid of falling and bruising, so they stride and sprint.
All of a sudden, they quickly slid to the other party on the riverbank, this effect was something Qin Haiyan didn't expect, but the result was good, and it bought them a lot of time.
When Randy hurried over, he saw that Qin Haiyan and the others had successfully crossed the river.
"Damn, let go of the arrows!"
The matter of chasing Qin Haiyan was originally quite simple, but now it has become a bit complicated.
It's not a big deal to be complicated at all, but if Qin Haiyan and the others escape, then things won't be as complicated as that.
Now Randy is a mile away from Qin Haiyan, which is a bit far for the average archer.
The arrow was shot out, and it is unknown whether it can reach people or not, and how much lethality is left.
Anyway, there are so many targets, just shoot a few random shots, and you'll always shoot a few unlucky guys, right?
Emma picked up the Holy Cross Shield, protected herself and Qin Haiyan, and blessed Charlie and the others with the Holy Word Shield, and she was powerless for the other slaves.
Bless more than a dozen people at a time, this is already the limit, and she can only give priority to those she is closer to.
"Water Mist!"
Qin Haiyan waved the Bubble Summer and cast a water magic, her magic attribute was ice, but that didn't mean she couldn't cast other spells.
The most basic fire-based magic like the fireball technique, as long as she learns it for a while, can also be used, but if the power is much weaker than the fire-based magician, the power is used to light a fire, and the magic power is more.
But the water system is different, water and ice are of the same origin, and the magic power of the ice attribute is used to cast water magic, and there will not be much loss.
It's just that compared to gentle water, Koto Haiyan prefers hard ice and a hard shell that can protect itself from harm.
Under the effect of the water mist technique, a thick fog appeared on the surface of the river, and the water mist quickly became thick, spreading along the river bank.
Under the cover of the water mist technique, Randy lost the figure of Qin Haiyan and the others, and it was no longer feasible to shoot arrows to stop them.
The only thing he can do now is to catch up.
At a distance of a few hundred meters, it will soon be able to catch up, although separated by a river, but the other party has condensed the surface of the river into ice, and a passage has been built.
When Randy arrives quickly, he doesn't find the ice, and sees only a little ice slag left, which has been destroyed.
What he could think of, Qin Haiyan could naturally think of, and when she performed the water mist technique, she asked Charlie to lead the knight to perform the Ground Splitting Slash, splitting the ice and cutting off the road.
In this way, Qin Haiyan bought some more time, enough for them to return to the Berserker Tribe.
Randy's face was ugly, but now he was also riding a tiger, and if he didn't take those slaves back and give the count a satisfactory explanation, then his position and his life would be difficult to protect.
"Cross the river, chase!"
What is on the other side of the riverbank, and what will happen to them if they continue to chase deeply, Randy knows very well, but now he has to chase it hard.
Just as Randy and the others were about to cross the river, Chen Nai crossed the river from upstream first.
When he and Burton arrived, they saw Randy ordering archery, and Chen Nai was still a little nervous at that time, but seeing Qin Haiyan deal with it properly, he was a little relieved.
But looking at Qin Haiyan's posture, it is clear that he wants to lead Randy and them to the Berserker Tribe, which is not good.
There are only a few hundred berserker tribes in total, and of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, the combat power they burst out can definitely eat these thousand private soldiers.
But as long as it is a battle, there will definitely be casualties, and how many berserker tribes will be killed or injured after eating these thousand people?
