Section 121 All or Nothing
When the lizardman was confused, Zhang Lan had run more than 100 meters out of the pain of breaking his ribs and rubbing against his lungs, and with the help of the trees in the forest and the gloomy environment, he barely escaped from the sight of the lizardman team. At the moment, he hid in a pit in a tree that was almost completely enclosed by the roots, chewing on the jerky while fumbling for the quiver, hoping to speed up the healing of the wound in his lungs by replenishing energy, and the broken ribs needed to be bandaged to recover. This can only be done after escaping from the lizardmen. Fortunately, his recovery ability was perverted, and after resting for a while, the pain in his lungs was not so obvious, and his breathing was much smoother.
Swallowing the remaining jerky in his hand, pinching the only three arrows left on his body, he hesitated to think about what to do if he encountered the lizard man again, just after he inserted the arrow into the quiver, the familiar breathing sound of the lizard man came from the forest again, because the sound was numerous and violent, which made the quiet forest seem to enter the summer on the earth at once, and the insects and cicadas sang endlessly.
Zhang Lan cautiously peeked out through the gap in the roots of the tree, and saw that in this shadowy spot in the forest, there were lizardmen standing under the shadows of the trees, and some of them were sniffing around with their noses, as if they were exploring something, and there was a tendency to move closer to Zhang Lan's side.
"Oops, it's not going to be the lizardmen team chasing this time, how did they catch up with me?" In Zhang Lan's observation, the lizardman's sense of smell does not seem to be as strong as he imagined, otherwise he would not have succeeded in ambushing many times, and now there is no reason to sniff out himself hiding in the pits of various smells overlapping trees. But the actual situation does not allow him to think too much, so many lizardmen chase, the situation is several times worse than just now, he may be found at any time, this tense situation oppresses him, the anxious mood makes the lungs recover a lot, and begins to ache faintly, and he can't help coughing, he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and suppressed those coughs in his throat. In addition to being anxious, his eyes inadvertently fell on the blood stains on the back of his hand.
"By the way, it's blood! It must have been the blood that he coughed up when he ran just now that brought them here," seeing the blood on the back of his hand, Zhang Lan suddenly realized that when he fought with the goblin team, it was his own blood that made the lizardmen's eyes red and almost crazy, it seems that these lizardmen are extremely sensitive to blood, and the blood scattered in the forest has become a sign for the lizardmen to pursue him, thinking of this, he hurriedly licked the blood on the back of his hand into his mouth, and at the same time covered the blood where he was standing in the sand and stones.
When Zhang Lan disposed of the blood around her, the lizardmen who were sniffing in the air suddenly lost their clues, and the hounds that had lost the smell of their prey became at a loss and began to wander in the forest without purpose.
Seeing that the rhythm of the lizardman's search was disrupted, Zhang Lan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her heart was not removed, as long as they searched around here, it was only a matter of time before he was discovered.
"Do you want to try the strategy of retreating again?" Zhang Lan thought in his heart, tightened the bow and arrow standing beside him, and just as he was aiming at a certain gap in the lizardman team and was about to gamble for his life, the corner of his eye suddenly found that a lizardman hidden in the shadow of the tree suddenly disappeared, while another lizardman who was only five meters away from him was unconscious, and he was still spitting snake letters to search under the surrounding craggy tree roots, ravines, and boulders.
The lizardman disappeared too quickly, Zhang Lan looked at the place he had just glimpsed, but there seemed to be no lizardman before, quiet and harmonious, everything seemed to be his own illusion. But when the searching lizardman didn't crawl out for a long time after jumping into a ravine, Zhang Lan understood that what she saw was not an illusion, and that something must have taken action against the lizardman.
This discovery immediately gave Zhang Lan hope that she was finally not alone against these lizardman soldiers. After the lizardman who jumped into the ravine, no lizardman disappeared for a while, and Zhang Lan understood that it was because the search gap between the other lizardmen was too dense, and it was difficult to find an opportunity to sneak attack, which made him can't help but be secretly anxious in his heart. As the lizardmen's search range moved closer to Zhang Lan's side, Zhang Lan's pressure doubled. He peeked and counted the number of people in the search team, there were a total of twenty-seven people in the forest, whether bright or dark, including three officers, after he finally determined the number of lizardmen, Zhang Lan completely abandoned the strategy just now, because with the number of these people and the search formation he maintained, he could not form psychological pressure on the lizardman team like he did just now, and without psychological pressure, he would not have the slightest chance of escaping from the encirclement.
When the search team was only about fifty meters away from him, Zhang Lan knew that he couldn't wait any longer. He could only bet that the person hidden in the darkness could form a tacit understanding with him. Then, without hesitation, he stabbed an arrow on his wooden bow with most of its tail feathers removed, aiming at one of the lizardmen at the back of the search party.
The wooden arrow that had most of its tail feathers removed did not make the same sound as usual, but its target was also lost, the lizardman three hundred meters away, was only shot in the shoulder but was not killed by a blow, although the accuracy was missed, the force on the arrow did not decrease by a fraction, but because the air resistance was reduced by more force, the target's large head close to four meters was knocked more than six or seven meters away, and then nailed to the tree, because it was not the key to the lizardman who was nailed to the tree let out a violent howl, Struggling to pull out the arrow from his shoulder, but because the arrow pierced the shoulder blade, it seemed to grow together with the tree, and he couldn't pull it out, and the great fear made him scream even louder, which made the other lizardmen startled, and looked at it, and the few people nearby wanted to come forward to help.
At this moment, Zhang Lan suddenly jumped out of the hole in the tree, enduring severe pain and fled in the opposite direction of the scream, but even though he tried his best to hide his voice and figure, he was still heard by a lizardman soldier closest to him, and suddenly turned his head to stare at Zhang Lan's back, and at the same time his mouth let out a sharp whistling sound of warning.
