Chapter 136: Choice
The base camp of the vulture bandits is not far from Ak'amu City, and the reason why it has not been discovered by Ak'amu City so far is entirely because of a natural barrier.
The most terrifying things in the desert are tornadoes, skeletons, desert worms, and quicksand.
And the natural barrier of the base camp of the vulture bandit group is quicksand, and it is also a pile of quicksand.
The people in Ak'amu City know this location, they call it the Eastern Forbidden Zone, it's only half a day away from Ak'amu City, if you ride a camel or horse, this time will be shortened quickly, no wonder the vulture bandits are always haunted.
And every member of the vulture bandit group has lived here since childhood.
When they reach adulthood, they naturally become members of the vulture bandits.
Those who did not become part of the vulture bandits were killed by their companions, and some were devoured by quicksand.
Because of this, every member of the Vulture Bandits is fierce and familiar with the terrain of the Eastern Exclusion Zone.
is also because the Eastern Forbidden Zone is famous, and naturally no one thought that the vulture bandit group was hiding here.
However, this is a no-go zone for humans, but not for skeletons.
Quicksand can bury humans as well as skeletons.
But skeletons are not afraid to bury, they don't breathe, and they are very good at walking in the desert and burrowing.
The so-called forbidden area is just a back garden in their eyes, and there is no threat at all.
Led by the skeleton, Sophia and his party of ten people see the bandits' den they have been "longing for" for a long time.
This robber's den was located in a flat area between two sand dunes, where a simple tent of 100 pounds was built around the well in the middle.
The robbers, on the other hand, hid in a cool and ventilated place to chat and sleep, while some women and children were busy.
Looking at this scene, Sophia's hand stretched into her arms trembled slightly.
In the palm of her hand, there was a bottle of potion, which Angela had extracted from the black sword, and it was incredibly toxic, and if it fell into that well, it could destroy it.
Then, the vulture bandits will lose their home, and they will only need to wait silently on the periphery for the bandits to fall into the net.
But...... But the women, children, and children were definitely dead.
Cannibalism is not uncommon in the desert.
If you are cornered and you can survive by eating people and drinking blood, most of the desert people will do it.
Sophia is a warrior who is cold as iron in the center of the battlefield.
But at the same time, she is also a woman, and she can't bear to kill so many children and women in one go.
Sweat dripped from her forehead, across her eyelids, resting on her eyelashes, and with a blink of an eye, dripping into the yellow sand, which was then evaporated by the hot yellow sand, bringing up a wisp of green smoke.
Now, all she needs to do is give the flask to Ark, who will then tie the potion to an arrow and shoot it into the well, which will reduce a lot of losses.
However, his arm was stiff and he couldn't lift it at all.
Eventually, she spoke, "Withdraw!" ”
The voice was eerie and terrifyingly hoarse.
Ake and Iron Palm gave Sophia a strange look, then slowly retreated to the rear.
At the entrance of the stone forest, a group of ten people arrived here covered in ashes.
As they were about to pass, Sophia, who was at the front, suddenly stopped.
The camel neighed, and its slender four legs kept pacing, stirring up a patch of yellow sand.
The people behind him also stopped, and Sophia paced back and forth on the camel for two steps, and then shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
As he spoke, his legs slammed, and the camel ran out on his long legs.
"Withdraw!" Iron Palm yelled, following Sophia.
The rest of the people shouted loudly, and the camel turned its head and galloped after it.
Ake looked puzzled, he knew that there was an ambush at the intersection, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Because as long as they are fast enough, they can still get rid of the group of robbers who are ambushed at the intersection without danger, and even for this reason, he has already wound the bow in advance, and the group of robbers do not dare to go deep, because they are afraid of the stone forest, so there is no need to do more.
However, as a warrior, he still obeyed orders very well, and slowly drew arrows while riding the camel wildly.
Behind them were shouting, and more than 30 vulture robbers rode the desert's unique brown oasis horses after them.
More professional robbers prefer horses to businessmen who occasionally make cameo appearances as robbers, and although horses are more delicate and difficult to raise than camels, they are more powerful in short-range explosiveness than camels, and camels cannot outrun horses in such chases.
So, robbers like horses, while merchants like camels, which are more viable.
Of course, the vast majority of robbers cannot afford to use horses, they simply do not have the ability to feed them.
And because horses are expensive, you should be careful if you see robbers on horseback, and it is better to prepare your belongings to satisfy the greed of the bandits, otherwise it is likely to cause a massacre.
"We can't run away like this!" Iron Palm caught up with Sophia and roared.
"I know." Sophia was very calm, and her tone was like ice: "I'm going to kill them all!" ”
With that, Sophia pulled out the javelin hanging on the camel's back, and turned around to throw a shot.
Sophia is good at using spears, followed by javelins, her explosive power is extremely strong, javelins are as fast as lightning, she can throw more than a hundred yards on flat ground, and shoot enemies accurately, she can shoot through the enemy's wooden shield within 70 yards, and she can pierce through iron armor within 30 yards, which is terrifying.
And even if you are riding on a horse and throwing back, you can't run, and you can't use your legs to exert power, but you only reduce your range by half.
Even if it's only half the range, it's still terrifying.
However, it was not Sophia who attacked the enemy first, but Acre.
Aka consciously fell to the end, heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him gradually approaching, carefully identified the position of the place, and when the other party was close enough, he suddenly turned around and was an arrow.
A blackened feathered arrow made a "boom" sound, and before a robber could react, it was pierced through the chest and fell from his horse.
The robbers shouted loudly, and those with bows and arrows took out their bows and arrows at the same time and shot at Acre.
However, bows and arrows in the desert are too rare, and good bows are even more difficult to find.
Therefore, the bows used by the sporadic robbers are not very good bows, and the desert environment is too destructive for the bows, and the environment where the robbers live is even worse, and the bows are not very properly kept, so the arrows are shot out of the way and look a little soft, and they are easily dodged by Acre or used a small round shield to get away.
Immediately afterward, a javelin whizzed by, and a robber with a bow let out a strange scream, and then was pierced by a javelin, and the force of the javelin flew and slammed into the chest of a horse behind him.
