Chapter 297: Crisis
Following the guidance of the lamp god Topol, Li Ran led the few remaining people to see this village after climbing a small hill, the area of this village is not large from a distance, there are about hundreds of houses in it, and in the middle is a slightly higher village center.
As if to highlight the danger of the battle map, the village was surrounded by log fences several meters high, on which stood a villager with a spear every few dozen meters. As for the surrounding area of the village, there are scattered plots of land and some common eggplant fruits.
It may be that the sound of the hooves of the wild cattle is too heavy, and several villagers who are cultivating the land can't help but put down the production tools in their hands, and look curiously and worriedly in the direction where the sound came from. It wasn't until they found out that it was such a large herd of cattle that they screamed, and then ran to their village.
As for Li Ran and the others at this time, they fled desperately along the edge of the hill, not letting the barbarian cattle behind them catch up, and at the same time, they tried to get as close to the village as possible without letting the people above find out. He didn't want to be caught in front and back.
Really! The herd of brute cattle that was chasing Li Ran and the others was startled by the village that suddenly appeared in front of them, and their running pace couldn't help but be a little disordered. But at the same time, people in the village may be more nervous.
They knew that there were wild bulls around the village, and these villagers had beaten away the wild bulls who came to make trouble several times before. But those wild bulls are only in groups at most, and few of them come in herds like this. And for creatures like the Wild Ox, despite their violent tempers, their interest in lush aquatic plants is far higher than the muscles of the villagers. So at most, it's just a little friction out of curiosity. But at this time, such a large group of wild cattle came over at once, and it looked quite imposing, and the villagers really couldn't figure it out.
However, in the midst of a battle-torn and monster-infested campaign map, there is a reason why this small village exists, in addition to the log fence that is several meters high, and the inhabitants are considered to have been war-hardened for a long time.
With a light and crisp metal knock, this small village with only a few hundred inhabitants immediately took action, and dozens of villagers armed with various long-range weapons quickly went up to the sentry post amid the shouts, and another team of villagers wearing simple armor and holding hunting knives quickly rushed out of the village gate, squatting on the ground outside the village to activate all kinds of traps that had been laid long ago, and then several groups pulled up many logs one or two meters long that had been sharpened from the ground, and these sharpened logs were like arrows and leaned on the ground. The other end is pulled up at a 45-degree angle, and some simple guards form a good defense system.
The villagers' defensive behavior clearly made the bulls angry, especially the rudimentary and vicious log cones, which were undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of the bulls.
Especially for the leader of the wild bull running at the front, chasing them for so long and not killing all the invaders who dared to hunt their own kind was already a thing that made it very angry. At this time, seeing all this, it was even more determined that the previous invaders were from this village.
Looking at the villagers who were still busy setting up traps outside, the leader of the bull mooed and rushed towards them. At the same time, some companions were separated to continue to hunt down those people. At this moment, it was enraged and decided to kill all the invaders with the blood of its own kind in their hands.
Although he successfully used the village to attract the attention of the herd, Li Ran obviously didn't expect the herd of barbarian cattle to divide into two ways, and glanced back at the dozens of brute cattle chasing behind, Li Ran couldn't help but smile bitterly. It's already a stroke of luck to be able to make it here alive, and it's impossible to run any further than to run into another village. Because there can be no second threat to their existence near a village.
Unless you can meet a bunch of guys who have a grudge against the bull right now, the odds are not much worse than buying a lottery ticket and winning the first prize. What's more, no matter what kind of creatures they are, they will definitely kill them before they see the bulls, and then they can't run anymore. Except for the lamp god Topol, who is slightly better, the rest of the two Maruk warriors Dagenai and Tristan, as well as the Tucker swordsman Gilro, have been running a little out of shape, and judging from the data, their physical strength is declining rapidly.
Is that all there is to it? Li Ran thought unwillingly. Turning his head and glancing coldly at the brute bull that was getting closer and closer, Li Ran ordered the Tucker swordsman Gil Luo to delay the speed of the brute bull with his own life.
Nodding heavily to Li Ran, Tucker swordsman Gillo stood still and turned to face the herd, unlike the minotaur Thun, who relied on his own strength to resist the enemy and relied on the terrain to resist the enemy, knowing that he could not win in the face of any brute bull, he took a deep breath and quickly jumped to the right side of the herd. Hitting the outermost bull is a side slash. So the brute bull in pain crashed into him angrily and flipped him backwards.
Without bothering to wipe away the scarlet blood that was spilling from the corners of his mouth, Tucker Swordsman Gillo was ready to be knocked into the air, and took advantage of the opportunity to turn over and continue to run.
If one of the thousands of threads was pulled, the whole herd of brute cattle was pulled by him and immediately deviated a little to the right. Then he repeated the same trick again, slashing the body of a leading bull outside, only this time he was hit more seriously, although he had been mentally prepared, but when he landed, he almost failed to stand. Dozens of seconds later, the tired and badly injured Tucker swordsman Gillo could no longer run, at this time he resolutely chose to climb a small dirt slope, and after holding on for dozens of seconds, he was dragged down by the sharp horns of the bull inserted into his calf and disappeared into the herd.
Listening to the almost mechanical prompt sound of the system, Li Ran knew that the Tucker swordsman was also hanging, and at this time, he did not hesitate at all, and suddenly turned a corner and ran away from the small village. In front of him, he pinned all his hopes on that small village, hoping that they would surprise him a little. But if the village has fallen, he will face the front and rear of the two brute herds, and completely lose the opportunity to escape.
may have spent enough time with Wu Tongtong to taint her luck. When he saw the small village in front of him, Li Ran's eyes lit up and he knew that his opportunity had come. I saw that many carcasses of wild cattle had fallen all over the village, and although the log fence of the village was broken in a few places, most of them were blocked by some carts with spikes. Only one or two loopholes and gates were in the midst of a fierce battle at this time.
The sudden arrival of dozens of brute bulls obviously attracted the attention of the warring parties, and under the call of the leader of the brute bulls, they finally abandoned Li Ran and ran to the battlefield ahead.
Li Ran took a long breath, except for the Moon Stone Beast under the seat, at this time, only the two Maruk warriors Dagenai and Tristan and the lamp god Topol were left in the eight arms, if it weren't for the luck of this way, they might have died here a long time ago. Thinking of this, even if he was as calm as he was, he couldn't help but sigh a little at this time.
took out some food and water and fed it to the Moonstone Beast, and Li Ran, who was squatting in the bushes, ordered the three of Dagenai to use expensive medicine to recover. At the same time, he summoned an elemental lamp god from the talisman. This time, he had collected a total of six Lantern Talismans, one of which he had already hung up before. If he wants to summon Qi, but with his current status as a ranger, he can only summon one class every two hours until he summons eight, so Li Ran can only wait another two hours before he can summon another.
After confirming that the villagers in the village did not find them, Li Ran was squatting quietly in the grass at this time, and did not seem to have any intention of taking the opportunity to escape immediately. This made the curious Topol puzzled and kept asking.
However, this kind of performance is very normal for Li Ran, except for the heart of the town that has established the territory, and the group players with strong support behind him. Ordinary people see territories in the campaign map, who doesn't want to occupy them, only the vast majority of territories are owned, and players who have just entered the campaign map really don't have the capital to challenge, and now they see a territory that is at war, as a third world worker, Li Ran will definitely not let it go easily.
Crisis~~ Danger and opportunity! Li Ran was in danger at this time, waiting for such an opportunity. At this moment, he squatted in the grass like a cheetah, coldly watching the battle between the villagers and the wild bull under the hill, if the wild bull once achieved a large-scale advantage, he had to flee as soon as possible. And if the inhabitants of the village can easily win, he will also evacuate quickly, a village of this size is not something he can take with his current strength, if he knows that the brute herd was attracted by them, he will not be able to wait for him in another pursuit, with his current strength, he can't afford to take this risk
