161. Assault
The forest is undoubtedly beautiful. But even the most skilled hunters have to admit that at night, the so-called beautiful forest has a bit of a terrifying meaning. Not to mention that these forests are the best hiding places for countless beasts and monsters, the eerie chill of the forest at night and the sound of the wind blowing through the dense treetops that resembles the terrible howl of a banshee are enough to make ordinary people feel creepy.
In the magical world of Yber, it's not uncommon to encounter wandering undead creatures and monsters in the middle of nowhere at night. Even if you are lucky enough to encounter these supernatural and terrifying ghosts, if you are unlucky enough to bump into the outlaws who are outside the laws of the kingdom and city-state, the result will not be much better.
The bright moonlight shines through the shade of the trees, sprinkling dapples on the ground.
In the clearing in the woods, the man in black who had watched the castle of Prailly from afar sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands on his lap and his eyes closed. His men, with the exception of the two who were on duty at night, were huddled in tents or curled up in sleeping bags.
Suddenly, the corners of the black-clothed man's eyes jumped suddenly, and then he opened his eyes and looked around suspiciously.
Perhaps instinctively, the man in black always felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at his every move. This feeling has not been around for a long time, and it seems that it only appeared today. However, when he first felt this way, he carefully probed and confirmed that it was impossible for anyone within a radius of a few hundred meters to follow him, so he barely dispelled his doubts.
But after nightfall, the feeling of being watched became more and more intense.
The man in black twisted uncomfortably, then yawned as if he was sleepy, and stood up and went to the place where the luggage was stacked next to the tent, as if he was about to take out a sleeping bag to rest. Just as he bent down to pick up something, he saw a sharp kick under his feet, and the whole person shot out like a sharp arrow from the string, rushing to the edge of the clearing and trying to hide into the depths of the woods.
Meanwhile. A red light flashed on one side of the woods, and a flaming arrow grazed his back, striking hard at the trunk of a large tree. Just listen to the "boom". The thick trunk of a tree hugged by a man was pierced by a fire arrow, bursting a hole the size of a human head. The battered tree shook violently, then snapped and fell down with a terrible "rattle".
The man in black broke out in a cold sweat, it was obvious that the shooter who shot this flaming arrow was already aiming at him, probably waiting for a more suitable opportunity to attack. And his sudden start disrupted the other party's plan, which caused the other party to make a hasty move that made the accuracy a little bit worse. However, judging by the power of this arrow, even if he was grazed by such an attack, he would be seriously injured.
"When it comes to bow and arrow attacks, the strongest is undoubtedly Flavi." The man in black quickly speculated in his mind while avoiding the arrows: "However, Flavis's cultivation is the 'wind' attribute fighting qi, how can it be possible to cast the 'fire' attribute 'Flame Arrow', and it is still so powerful?" ”
Despite the cranky thoughts in his mind, the speed of the man in black did not slow down at all, and he continued to rush towards the woods under his feet. After all, he was in an open area, and it was obviously a rather unfavorable situation for him to confront an opponent who was hiding in the shadows and could perform long-range attacks. So he decided to rush into the woods to make it difficult for his opponent to perform ranged attacks, and then try to engage them.
But just as the man in black was a few steps away from the woods, a blocking figure appeared in front of him.
"Sure enough, there is more than one enemy......" The man in black sighed secretly, and then a cruel look flashed in his eyes. However, just one person is like intercepting me, isn't it too much? ”
The man in black wiped his hands around his waist, and the two scimitars were in his hands. With the weapon in hand, his body rushed forward three points faster, and at the same time, he swung his right hand to wipe the throat of the opponent in front of him.
Facing the oncoming man in black and the cold scimitar in his hand, the person who blocked it also took out his weapon blade and met it.
With a "dang" sound, the scimitar and the blade slashed together, sparks bursting out in all directions.
"It's not over yet!" The man in black let out a loud shout, and with a twist of his left scimitar, he held the handle and slammed it into his opponent's chest. "Reverse Blade!"
After the slash, the figure of the person who came suddenly lay backwards.
"Solve a ......" The man in black was about to turn and escape after seeing his opponent fall to the ground, but he tripped over something under his feet, and his body lost balance and fell. Fortunately, his reaction was extremely fast, and when he was about to touch the ground, he raised his hand to support it, and rolled over to regain his footing.
"What a quick response, such a quick hand." Just as the man in black had just stood firm, a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"What? When?! The man in black was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly raised his twin knives in front of him, and turned to face the direction from which the sound came. I saw a young man in a black cloth shirt with a long stick on his shoulder, his arms around the stick, and he happened to be looking at him for a long time.
The young man in black looked at the man in black who was staring at him with a look of vigilance, and with a look on his face that seemed to be smiling, he raised his voice: "How is it, Dapeng?" If you're not dead, move and show your presence. ”
"Shut up! Old Yang! Next to him, Ruan Kunpeng, who was 'cut down' by the man in black, jumped up. He raised his hand and rubbed his chest a few times. "Hmph, this guy's knife is really fast enough, if I am half a second at night, I am afraid that I will be cut open and broken."
From the man in black who suddenly started to the time when he was finally intercepted, the whole process took only a dozen seconds. At the time when Ruan Kunpeng answered Yang Qianyu, the rest of the accomplices of the man in black who were resting had already woken up, tore open their sleeping bags and rushed out of the tent to prepare to meet the enemy. At the same time, more than twenty figures appeared around the clearing, forming a loose encirclement around these people.
Seeing that his group was surrounded, the man in black simply stopped running away, faced Yang Qianyu and stepped back with his accomplices, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the origin of Your Excellency?" Why attack us? ”
"Humph!" Yang Qianyu stopped chatting with Ruan Kunpeng, and after turning his attention to the opponent in front of him, the playful expression on his face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Doesn't this friend think that his question is ridiculous?" Why did we attack you, you really don't know at all? ”
"You turned out to be from the Count of Prailly?" The man in black was shocked when he heard this: "No! There are no of you among the Earl of Praile's men! Are you mercenaries? ”
"Mercenaries? Ah, even if it'......" Yang Qianyu replied coldly. "So what?"
"I don't know how to help the Leopold family fight against Lord Bilgard!" The man in black said in a deep voice: "No matter which mercenary group you belong to, you have been involved in the battle between the two nobles. If you know each other, retreat now, or Lord Bilgard will not spare you. ”
"I don't know what's wrong?" Yang Qianyu's face turned angry when he heard this. "You have smashed our inheritance, but you have not allowed us to seek justice, how can there be such a good thing in this world? Well?! ”
"You are from the Xuanyuan family?!" The man in black was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly said.
The Aborigines of Yber did not understand the Chinese surnames of the Crossing Crowd, so they misunderstood the word 'Xuanyuan' in the 'Xuanyuan Adventure Group' formed by the Crossing Crowd as the surname of the Crossing Crowd, and then regarded the Crossing Team as members of the same family. And the traversers simply followed the local customs and formed a so-called 'family' under the name of 'Xuanyuan'.
"That's right!" A fierce color flashed on Yang Qianyu's face. "Today you will pay for what you have done!"
