Chapter 623: The Four Great Guards
Xiao Chen dug two large pits in the ground, about ten meters apart, and put branches and leaves on them, and finally covered them with soil to camouflage.
The treatment of the two pits is different, the first is empty inside, there is nothing, and the second is full of sharp spear heads and sharpened bamboos at the bottom.
As soon as he had done this, the sound of horses' hooves came, and he quickly left, hiding three hundred meters away.
Hua Changwen became a frightened bird, and he didn't dare to delay for a minute on the road.
He was so anxious that he kept urging the four guards to speed up, so that he didn't notice any abnormalities on the road.
Crash...... Puff ......
The two horses in front of them were planted in the pit at the same time, because of the experience of the previous horses' stumbling hooves, and the two squire soul warriors were quite high-level, they jumped high before falling into the pit.
But they didn't expect that the foothold they chose in the panic turned out to be a trap.
This time, they couldn't jump up in relay and fell into the pit steadily, but after all, the two of them were soul masters, and they avoided the spear heads and bamboos in the pit between the lightning and flint.
"Hmph, carving insect skills," one of the guards sneered, and was about to jump out of the pit when he was suddenly entangled in his feet by black vines that broke through the ground.
The same goes for the guards next to him, and then the four walls of the pit explode at the same time, and there is a fire oil mixed with metal powder buried in it, which has a strong adhesion, and once it sticks to the person's body, it is difficult to extinguish.
The pit suddenly became a sea of fire, and the two of them were caught off guard, although they struggled, they couldn't put out the flames on their bodies because they were entangled by vines.
Screams shouted out of their mouths, and Hua Changwen, who was standing in front of a pit, shouted: "Why are you two still stunned, go and save people,"
The two guards slapped their horses around the pit, took the kettle hanging from the saddle, and poured water on the bodies of the two burning companions.
The fire is fierce, a few pots of water can not extinguish the fire at all, and the cause is the addition of metal powder to the fire oil, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, causing the fire to be more violent.
The black vines also burned, but new vines continued to arch out of the ground, continuing to entangle them.
"My lord, there is no way to extinguish the fire," said one of the guards, looking back.
"Stupid, hurry up and cover the soil, in this case, only soil can extinguish the fire," Hua Changwen shouted,
The two suddenly realized, waved the weapons in their hands and quickly dug the soil, and for a while, the clods of soil flew and fell into the pit.
This is indeed the most effective method, but the two people in the pit have already been seriously injured, and the one on the right is even worse, when the oil jar burst, there is a large lump splashed on his face, after such a long time of burning, one face has been bone,
Three hundred meters away, the little marquis quietly took out a strong crossbow, hung up the crossbow arrows, and aimed at Hua Changwen.
Hua Changwen didn't come forward to help his subordinates, his mind was heavier, and he felt that he should be more careful, and he would definitely be distracted if he went to the rescue, in case someone sneaked up on him, it would be difficult to dodge.
The man whose head was burned to the head of a roasted sheep fell into the clods of soil, and his neck was almost burned off, and the gods could not save him.
The fire on the second person was successfully extinguished, but he was also seriously injured, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to save him.
The encounter between the two is so miserable, it is simply shocking,
Xiao Chen's first aim was Hua Changwen, and the moment before pulling the crossbow machine, he changed his target to the guard standing on the left,
Sou......
With the movement of the crossbow strings, the bolts shot out and flew towards the man's neck.
Almost subconsciously, the man dodged to one side, but the crossbow bolt came in an instant, and although he was lucky to let go of his neck, he couldn't let go of his shoulder,
Burst......
Sharp arrows pierced his soft armor, shot through his shoulders, and peeked out from his shoulder blades,
"There is an enemy," Hua Changwen jumped off the horse, took off the shield on the saddle casually, and protected his body,
He moved quickly, came to the wounded, and asked, "How are you, do you matter?"
The man gritted his teeth and broke the shaft of the arrow, endured the severe pain and said, "Half of his body can barely move, my lord, go quickly,"
Another guard said, "Yes, you go quickly, we'll break off,"
Hua Changwen frowned and said, "Don't you think things are very strange, why do I think we were fooled?"
"Fooled, you mean,"
"We have been ambushed by the enemy, but we have never seen the real face of the enemy every time," Hua Changwen analyzed, "It is not difficult to conclude that there is only one enemy."
"Only one," the two guards widened their eyes,
Hua Changwen nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, that's why he didn't dare to show up, I have to admit that under his tricks, we were fooled one after another, and the team of dozens of people became a few people,"
The two glanced at each other, and the analysis of the deputy hall master was very reasonable,
"Who is it that has been chasing us all along?"
Hua Changwen smiled bitterly: "It is likely that we left behind the broken people, they chased after them without waiting for the enemy, and the funny thing is that we actually threw their locals far away,"
The uninjured guard said proudly: "Since there is only one person on the other side, I will deal with him, and you stay and wait and see,"
"Be careful," Hua Changwen handed the shield to him,
"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely cut off that man's head,"
He picked up his shield and got on his horse, and ran in the direction where he had shot his crossbow arrows.
As everyone knows, the little marquis has already changed places,
As soon as he ran a few dozen meters, four leaves suddenly flew up on the ground, two of which shot flying needles at him, and two flew towards his neck.
Whoosh......
When the flying needle hit, the leaf left a deep wound on the sides of his neck,
Blood spurted out, and then he fell off his horse and died.
"How can this be," Hua Changwen was almost frightened, his level was only level six in the Xuanwu Realm, there was still a big gap compared to the four guards, these four people were not opponents, let alone himself,
Although there are still guards, but he is already injured, and it is difficult to protect himself, how can he ensure his safety,
"Your Excellency, you are leaving," shouted the wounded guard,
"Didn't you find out, it's too late," he said with a wry smile: "The other party's target is me, don't resist again, he may let you go,"
The guard frowned, lowered his voice and said, "My lord, when the enemy approaches a certain range, I will suddenly launch a sneak attack to create a chance for you to escape, you are ready,"
His eyes lit up: "Okay,"
The guard nodded: "It must be possible, the subordinates will send a fatal blow with the heart of death, even if the other party is a master of the Holy Martial Realm, he will be injured by surprise, maybe I can kill him,"
Hua Changwen couldn't help but get excited in his heart, the person at the peak of the Xuanwu Realm fought hard to strike, and the lethality was naturally not to be underestimated.
But at this moment, a second crossbow arrow flew and hit the other shoulder of the guard accurately.
This arrow is different from the one just now, the arrow is highly poisonous,
Before the guards could make a cry of pain, the words of the little marquis came first: "Do you think I will give you a chance to fight back, if you surrender obediently, the little master will really consider letting you live, and remember it the next time you are reincarnated, don't forget to arrange the sound barrier when you whisper, you are talking too loudly,"
As the words fell, the poison had already attacked the heart, and the guard's head tilted and breathed,
Hua Changwen was discouraged, but he still picked up the weapon lying at his feet, and it seemed that he was not ready to surrender on his own initiative.
