Chapter 19: An Unexpected Sneak Attacker
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi didn't have time to think about it immediately, and immediately took the initiative to fall forward.
There is no doubt that this correct response saved Zhang Yi's life.
At the same time as he fell forward, a dagger that appeared out of thin air in the direction of his back stabbed at Zhang Yi's previous position.
What is certain is that if Zhang Yi did not take the initiative to fall forward, but still stood in place. Then this dagger that appeared out of thin air will definitely stab Zhang Yi's back firmly, instead of just making a small hole in his leather armor like now.
After saving his life by relying on the basic skills he practiced in the army. Of course, Zhang Yi would not continue to be passive like this, and when the person was still in mid-air, he began to turn around.
So, when Zhang Yi fell to the ground, his posture had changed from landing on the front to landing on his back. Facing the enemy head-on, this means that Zhang Yi does not have to continue to passively withstand the second attack of the sneak attacker, he has the opportunity to fight back.
With the opportunity, Zhang Yi certainly won't miss it.
When the gnoll man with a dagger came up for the second time. Zhang Yi, who was lying on the ground, saw the opportunity and kicked his legs together.
And then, because the Gnoll is at a low altitude that is worse than a fifth-class cripple. Coupled with Zhang Yi's counterattack method, it is really a bit different.
The gnoll man was kicked firmly by Zhang Yi, and it flew up with a snort, and then directly hit the stone wall behind it, and then slid from the wall to the ground in a rather joyful way.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yi quickly got up from the ground, clenched his short sword and counterattacked.
Unfortunately, the attacker on the other side was a little more powerful than he thought. When Zhang Yi stabbed with a sword, the jackal also shook his head and came to his senses, and the dagger was raised upward, and it was easy to block Zhang Yi's attack.
The blow was ineffective, and Zhang Yi, who knew that the target was not easy to deal with, did not dare to be greedy. Taking advantage of the strength of the opponent's parry, he took the initiative to take a half step back, ready to find an opportunity to attack again.
And this obviously a new breed of jackal attacker, he didn't expect that this human who was targeted by him would not only be aware of his sneak attack, but also give himself a bite in such a strange way. If it weren't for his high enough resistance to vertigo, that moment would have been enough for him to capsize in the gutter.
Therefore, out of prudence, this jackal also chose a relatively conservative approach, not in a hurry to attack, but to observe first.
Both sides of the battle chose the tactical idea of observing the situation first and waiting for the opportunity to attack again. As a result, this battle, which started with a sneak attack, suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Zhang Yi and the gnoll man were separated from each other a little distance and began to test each other.
As far as Zhang Yi was concerned, after a few temptations, he found that the jackal who used the dagger was weaker than him in terms of strength, but he was a little more flexible than himself.
Moreover, this guy's attainments in close combat are obviously a little higher than his own. If it weren't for the relatively small space of this house, which limits the swing space of this guy. Coupled with the short sword he used, which just pressed this guy's dagger in terms of attack range, it was a question mark whether he could maintain the current situation.
Fortunately, Zhang Yi is not fighting alone.
After continuing to accompany the gnoll for a while, the key weight to break the deadlock appeared.
Two kobolds appeared at the doorway of the room, each holding a crossbow. And what is even more perfect is that now Zhang Yi and this gnoll man are standing in a position where Zhang Yi is facing the door, and this gnoll man is facing the door.
Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Yi immediately seized the opportunity and gritted his teeth violently and took the initiative to attack.
The opponent suddenly took the initiative to attack, which made the gnolls who were worried that they would not have a chance to find a flaw. also took the initiative to meet it, preparing to break through Zhang Yi's defensive circle, and then completely solve this human being who gave him a headache.
The gnoll man didn't think about what was causing the human to change his combat style. In his opinion, this human should have lost the patience to continue the stalemate, so he took the initiative to attack him.
So this kind of assumption has become the last element of the guy who crashes headlong into the abyss of death. At the same time that the goods parried Zhang Yi's short sword with a dagger, preparing to take advantage of the situation to cut into Zhang Yi's inner circle.
In the direction behind him, the kobold sisters, who were quietly in position, pulled the trigger of the crossbow together. Then, almost at the same time as the bowstring rattled, two crossbow bolts were fired into the gnoll's back.
Zhang Yi, who was in the front, seized the opportunity to launch an additional attack and stabbed the front of the cargo with a sword.
Twisting the hilt of the sword vigorously, he was sure that the gnolls who almost killed themselves were really dead. Then, after glancing at the magic map again, he made sure that there were really no red dots around.
This time, Zhang Yi really breathed a sigh of relief.
Stretching out his hands and touching the two kobolds in front of him, Zhang Yi said with a sigh:
"This time it's thanks to you two little ones."
It was also Zhang Yi's luck, after watching Zhang Yi rush into the gate to deal with that gnoll brute. Xiao Yisa, who had been following Zhang Yi, turned around and went back to her sister to prepare for the two of them to collect the loot together.
As a result, when little Issa walked to the back of the house with her sister Isha and Zhang Yi used the crossbow to kill the three gnolls.
Isha rolled her ears and immediately said to her sister in a very affirmative tone:
"The host is in trouble and needs our help."
Because of the tacit understanding between the two sisters, Issa didn't have to ask why, as described in many bloody plots.
Instead, she immediately trusted her sister's judgment and asked Isha to pick up the simple crossbow used by the gnoll man who had been on the sentry. Two kobolds, one of them carrying a crossbow, lightly touched the door of the house.
It just so happens that he is now in a confrontation with the jackal who uses the dagger, Zhang Yi.
The next thing is what happened before.
Seriously, if it weren't for Zhang Yi's brains at that time and accepting these two kobolds, this time he would probably really have to confess here.
After all, this gnoll with a dagger is obviously a little more experienced in close combat than Zhang Yi. Without two kobolds secretly working behind his back, relying on Zhang Yi alone, it is really difficult to solve this gnoll.
Hawkers, in short, things are in the end, and it's a happy ending.
interacted warmly with these two kobolds, and it can be regarded as adjusting his mood.
After that, Zhang Yi waved his hand and asked the two little guys to go about their own business, such as tidying up the house, sorting out the loot or something.
It's not that Zhang Yi doesn't want to do it himself, but these two kobolds take the initiative to take on these more trivial chores. It just so happens that Zhang Yi also has a more important matter now, which needs to be dealt with personally.
Therefore, this one simply left these things to the kobold sisters to deal with
