341 Sudden ambush

The design led to the red-eyed skull, and the Tai Sui Zhi was successfully harvested, and we were finally able to go back happily.

Almost everyone was thinking about how to spend the money they got after Tai Suizhi made the move, and before they knew it, the formation was a little loose, and they didn't pay enough attention to the surrounding situation. And such carelessness almost cost us a lot!

As soon as we walked out of the Pink Forest, we arrived at a clearing. In normal times, we would have to be cautious when passing through such an open area, but today we were so carried away that we didn't notice anything unusual.

"Bang!"

Bursts of fog suddenly rose all around, and it looked like the magic circle launched by Ximenji, which just surrounded our expedition team, and we could only see the scenery in the clearing, and twenty meters away it was all foggy gray-white.

Everyone was startled, quickly tensed up, regained their positions, and continued to maintain their original cone-shaped formation. But this reaction is still a beat slower!

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

After the two sounds of breaking the sky, two cold lights suddenly flew out of the mist, directly taking Liu Yuxin in front of me and Ximen Ji at the end of the team.

Liu Yuxin was still fighting with bird meat just now, and she was not prepared for defense at all, and besides, she didn't have any decent protective gear except for a set of light leather armor.

Fortunately, I have always kept my hand off the shield, and hurriedly raised my hand to block it. There was a crisp "ding", and a long arrow was blocked by my shield!

"Ahh

But Ximen Ji, who walked at the back, was not so lucky, I turned my head to see that he was half-kneeling on the ground, and a deep scar appeared on his left calf, and blood flowed. At his knee, a short arrow was nailed to the ground, and its tail was still shaking.

"There's an ambush!" Long Xiaoyan shouted, "Quickly change to a circular formation!" ”

"Whoosh! Sou! ”

But as soon as his words were shouted, before everyone had time to change positions, they heard two terrifying sounds of breaking the air again.

However, this time, everyone is prepared. Long Xiaoyan saw a cold light shining directly in front of him, so he hurriedly lowered his head and dodged.

"Ding!"

A long arrow grazed Long Xiaoyan's helmet, and then went straight to Liu Yuxin behind him. Liu Yuxin's second reaction was also fast enough, and as soon as she raised her head slightly, the arrow swept over her forehead, and the tail feathers also drew a bloody mark.

The bird meat on the other side was also screaming, but he was able to knock off the short arrow he shot at in a hurry, and he was not injured.

Liu Yuxin suffered a series of fatal killing moves, and suddenly her eyebrows rose, and she raised her hand hatefully and shot two crossbow arrows in both directions where the cold arrows were released. However, after the crossbow bolts flew over, they sank into the sea like a stone, silently.

"There are two archers on the other side, and one in front and one behind, everyone should be careful!" Long Xiaoyan shouted again, "Cloth the circle formation, Lu Dian and Xiao Zhai pay attention to protecting their teammates!" ”

"No, it's just an archer!" Liu Yuxin said with a gloomy face.

"Just one?" I was stunned, isn't this obviously a cold arrow shot from two different directions in front and back?

Liu Yuxin calmly explained: "It was a professional archer who shot me and Long Xiaoyan. He knew that I was also an archer, and Long Xiaoyan was the captain, so he had to deal with the two of us first. Both long arrows came with the purpose of killing two birds with one stone! It was another novice who shot Simon and Birdmeat. Although he also used a crossbow, his archery skills were very average, so Simon's foot was not shot through, and the bird meat could block the second arrow with his cane alone! ”

Well, such an analysis is really in place, and sure enough, only archers really know archers!

"So what should we do now?" Long Xiaoyan couldn't see the enemy at this time, so he had to listen to Liu Yuxin.

"The number of opponents is unknown, and they are hiding in the shadows and firing cold arrows, which is very bad for us. Therefore, our first tactic is to break through this fog array! Liu Yuxin sneered, "Secondly, they have crossbows, hum, don't we have them?" ”

With that, she took down the quiver with two short arrows, and divided it with two ** to the bird meat and Simon Ji. Bird meat is the weakest against the enemy, and giving him ** is to strengthen his attack power. And Ximenji's foot is already injured, so he can't just watch with a crossbow arrow in his hand.

After splitting the **, Liu Yuxin took off her longbow again. In this way, with her and Long Xiaoyan, who is good at throwing ghost fireballs, there are a total of four ranged attackers on our side.

In addition to bolstering their ranged attacks, the six of us also sat in a back-to-back circle. Lu Dian and I are responsible for defending against each other's cold arrows with one with a shield and a wok, and one with a stone tablet.

But all this was prepared, but the enemy hiding outside the fog array did not move. And there was no third round of cold arrows. This also makes us, who have always been on high alert, uneasy, and don't know what the other party's idea is?

Long Xiaoyan didn't dare to look back, so he asked in a low voice, "Ximen, do you have a way to break this fog array?" ”

Although Ximen Ji was injured, his face was still expressionless, and his eyes were constantly observing the situation in front and back. "I'm still observing," he said. This fog array hasn't changed since it was first activated, and I won't be able to tell where he is until the setter manipulates the array flag again. ”

I felt that this was too passive, so I asked him, "Can we just focus on breaking through in one direction?" It's just a fog array anyway! ”

"No!" Ximen Ji directly shook his head and denied, "The other party just wants us to rush out in a panic." They must have set up some other traps outside the formation, and if they run out like this, they will definitely fall for it! ”

"What then? Are we just standing here and being a live target for each other? Birdmeat cried anxiously.

"Don't panic, it should be fine for the time being." Liu Yuxin was still very calm and comforted: "The other party may also see that we also have crossbows and arrows in our hands." In order to avoid revealing their positions, they don't dare to release cold arrows easily, for fear that there will be some tricks to use later! ”

Sure enough, as he was talking, the fog array changed. The wall of fog that surrounded us rolled and tightened like a huge wave, as if it were about to roll us up!

"Does Simon see any flaws?" Long Xiaoyan shouted.

But Ximen Ji didn't answer, and kept staring in one direction, but there was nothing but the rolling fog and waves.

Gradually, the fog waves have rolled to a distance of only five meters from us, and I am afraid that in another minute, we will be swept into the thick fog!

At this time, Ximen Jian finally shouted loudly: "The opponent is standing outside the fog array, and they are approaching us with the fog, and they plan to besiege and attack us!" ”

"Someone in which direction?" Long Xiaoyan asked.

"In either direction! And there should be more people than us! ”

"Get ready, it's time to fight!" Long Xiaoyan roared angrily.

Everyone clenched their weapons and gritted their teeth. However, we are surrounded by fog arrays, and the enemy can see us, but we cannot see the enemy, how can this battle be fought?

At the last moment, Ximen Ji shouted again: "Everyone who has crossbow arrows in his hand is under my command, and shoot in my direction at two o'clock together!" ”

The direction that Simon Ji said was his right front. Fortunately, we have always had a tacit understanding of communication in this direction, Liu Yuxin, Bird Meat and Ximen Ji, a longbow and two **, and then shot three arrows at the same time, directly taking the invisible "enemy"!

"Humph!"

After a muffled snort, the scene in front of us immediately changed, the fog that was originally as thick as an earthen wall suddenly dissipated, and seven figures appeared ten meters away from each of us, and sure enough, they had surrounded us.

No, it should be eight!

A little farther away just now, where Ximen Ji and the others were aiming and shooting, there was another person who was getting up from the ground in embarrassment. He was hit by an arrow from Liu Yuxin in the arm, and a formation flag was falling from his feet. It's obvious that this guy is the formation mage who manipulated the fog array!

These eight figures, five people and three ghosts, are dressed similarly to us, and they turned out to be the "Expedition Reinforcement Company" with eight team members!

"It turned out to be you, He Biao!" Long Xiaoyan said coldly to one of them.

The guy who was recognized by Long Xiaoyan was wearing a golden armor and holding two long swords, and at first glance he was a particularly arrogant person, and he should be the captain of the other party. However, at this time, the fog array had just been broken, and he and his men were still a little suspicious, and did not have time to launch a siege on us.

"Long Xiaoyan, meet again!" That He Biao snorted, but he didn't smile.

"What are you trying to do? Could it be that the Qiu family is openly going to declare war with the Teng family? Long Xiaoyan scolded angrily. It turned out that it was the Qiu family's expedition team that attacked us on the other side!

"Hey, hey, hey! There is no need to declare war, you just need to hand over that Tai Sui Zhi, and we can let you go!" He Biao said.

"Humph! It turns out that you are ambushing here to cut off your beard! Long Xiaoyan laughed angrily and asked, "How do you know that we have picked Tai Sui Zhi?" ”

"What else? We've been watching you from afar! Since you're willing to take the risk, let's be spectators, hahaha! ”

"Hahahaha!" The other members of the Qiu family's expedition also laughed in unison.

"If we give Tai Sui Zhi to you, will you really let us go?" This time, it was bird meat that was questioned. He is really not bold enough, and he is probably a little timid when he encounters this kind of scene.

"That's right! Well, I'll guarantee it in the name of the Qiu family! He Biao sneered, obviously with a sarcastic expression.

"Fuck off, promise!" Long Xiaoyan scolded, "You and the Qiu family are both notoriously treacherous, and ghosts won't believe your words!" Let us go back and complain, can your Qiu family still mess around in Zuoqiu City? ”

"Hehe, that's no way! It seems that we have to decide life and death based on our real skills! ”

As soon as these words came out, the two sides directly lit up their weapons, and a big war seemed inevitable!
