Chapter 81
After everyone else left, the middle-aged man let go of his hands and feet at this moment, and the long sword kept hitting the armored beast. Although it can't hurt the armor, it can completely attract the attention of the armor. Now, even though everyone else is gone, the armored beast still pays attention to the middle-aged leader.
Due to the bite and the frequent breathing of the armored beast, fortunately, every time the middle-aged leader can rely on the advantage of physical flexibility to dodge or block with sword qi, and time flies quickly.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged team leader to feel that there was no need to drag it down, so he directly used the giant tree in the forest to get rid of the armor beast, and then rushed to the location of the team alone.
"Someone is coming over there!" At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong, who was listening to Ye Yun and their discussion, suddenly saw a few figures in the forest behind him, and immediately interrupted the conversation of several people.
Following what Lin Xuanzhong pointed out, not only Ye Yun and them, but also the other people in the convoy also looked back.
"It's Lao Li, they," the stubble man recognized at a glance as their companions. Immediately afterward, the entire convoy stopped and looked back. The figures of several people in the forest became clearer and clearer, and after a while, everyone could be sure that the five people who were rushing were their companions.
"Lao Li, why did you come back first? Big brother, what about them?" When a few people approached, someone in the team immediately asked out loud.
"Big brother and Qing Yi are still dragging the fierce beast, and it's useless for us to stay there, so big brother will let us come back and join you first. The middle-aged man named Lao Li briefly explained the reason for their return, and then briefly described the situation there.
By the time Lao Li finished speaking, the rest of the team already understood what the situation was over there. Thinking about it, since it was their eldest brother who asked the five to come back first, there should be no problem over there. So, everyone naturally relaxed.
"Well, the convoy continues to set off. I don't know when the second person in charge of the team, a tall and thin middle-aged man, nodded to Lao Li, and then ordered everyone. Under the direction of the tall and thin man, the convoy continued to move forward.
Not long after, Qingyi and a few others came back, and naturally brought back some information about the situation over there. When Qing Yi talked about the dangerous scene before, everyone became nervous for their team leader, but after Qing Yi said that there was nothing to do in the end, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Now that they think about their leader left alone, some of the team members can't help but be a little worried, but many more think that their eldest brother will be fine. Then, under the instructions of the second person in charge, the convoy continued to set off.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a gust of wind blew, and all of a sudden, everyone smelled a fishy smell in the wind.
"There's a smell of blood up there," soon said someone in the group.
"yes, I smell it too. ”
"When Lao Zhou comes back, he will naturally know. The people in the convoy talked about their findings one after another, and many people began to talk about it. As for the old Zhou in their mouths, he was naturally the one who was inquiring about the situation in front.
When everyone realized that there was a problem ahead, the tall and thin man did not stop the convoy. Because when there is no wind, everything around you is normal, and everyone can't smell anything.
Not long after, under the expectation and suspicion of everyone, Lao Zhou and another member returned. Although the two were running, they did not show signs of panic.
"What's going on?" asked the tall thin man standing at the front of the convoy when the two of them ran close to the convoy.
"There is a mercenary team in front of them, surrounded by a gang of bandits, and the two sides are fighting. ”
"What's the specific situation?" After Lao Zhou finished speaking, the tall and thin man nodded thoughtfully, and then asked another question.
"Judging by the service, there should be about fifty people in that mercenary team, and there are eighty robbers, the difference in the number of the two sides is too big, and Da Zhuang and I see that the overall strength of the mercenary team is much weaker than that of the robbers, so we are fighting hard. If you don't get support, I'm afraid everyone in the mercenary team will have to die. In one breath, Lao Zhou told everyone what they had discovered.
"Second brother, should we go over and help?" Seeing that the situation was urgent, a mercenary immediately asked the tall and thin man. The bandits are the common enemy of regular mercenaries, and many in the convoy feel that they cannot stand idly by. After all, when you go out, everyone has the possibility of encountering danger.
"The convoy went southeast instead, and the decision was made when the big brother returned. Without replying directly to the companion, the tall and thin man simply gave a simple order to everyone, and then looked at the man named Lao Zhou and said, "You take me over to see first." ”
Regarding the tall and thin man's request, the man named Lao Zhou naturally had no opinion, and the three of them hurried forward. After the three of them left, the others naturally continued to take charge of the convoy. Since the tall and thin man had no other instructions, the rest of the convoy did not dare to act rashly.
"Did you say that it was too late to wait for the eldest brother to come back?" Not long after changing direction, Ye Yun, the stubble man walking next to Zhang Qi, said casually. In fact, Ye Yun's problem is also the problem of many people present.
"Maybe, there are too many robbers over there, and we have to make sure that the people in front of the convoy can't all go, and those who can go may not be able to help, so it's better to wait for the big brother to come back. Helplessly speaking his opinion, Zhang Qi only hoped that the middle-aged team leader would come back as soon as possible.
"Maybe Big Brother will be back soon, let's hurry as soon as possible, the rain is getting heavier. After the two finished speaking, the middle-aged woman Shui Lian followed and said. Before you know it, the rain is indeed a lot heavier.
Elsewhere in the line, many were engaged in the same discussion, but all ended with statements similar to those of a middle-aged woman.
The raindrops kept falling on his body, looking at the gloomy sky, Lin Xuanzhong's emotions fluctuated and could not be calm for a long time.
In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, since there were innocent people in front of him who were being besieged by a group of bandits who were doing evil, how could the mercenary team not help.
What's the point of waiting for the middle-aged leader to come back, when the battle over there is almost over. Besides, Lin Xuanzhong had always felt that Ye Yun was a good person, so he couldn't figure out that the tall and thin man just now didn't directly ask everyone to come over to help. It's just that Lin Xuanzhong is not a member of the mercenary team, and he can't ask for them, Lin Xuanzhong can only listen to them silently, and move forward with the team in a low mood.
While Lin Xuanzhong struggled with some problems, several mammoths were still tireless, pulling the vehicles to maintain their original speed, and the rain would not affect them in any way. The raindrops are now denser, but the ground in the forest hasn't changed much, and the marks left by the wheels haven't deepened much.
Since the gust of wind blew just now, no wind blew again, everything in the forest was very quiet, and Lin Xuanzhong only had the sound of some people talking in his ears.
"Where is the second brother?" After a while, the middle-aged leader finally returned, and when he saw that there was no tall and thin man in front of the team, he asked the others.
"The second brother and Lao Zhou are in the south, and there is a mercenary team over there that is fighting against a group of robbers, and the second brother and they are checking the situation over there. Under the inquiry of the middle-aged team leader, a relatively young person quickly stood up in the team and repeated the information that Lao Zhou had brought back just now to the middle-aged team leader.
After the man finished speaking, the middle-aged team leader briefly analyzed the situation, and then instructed everyone: "Leave ten people in charge of the normal progress of the convoy, and the others will join the second brother with me." ”
Now a quarter of an hour has passed since the three tall and thin men left, so the middle-aged man feels that there is no time to wait for the tall and thin man to come back and inform him of the specific situation.
"Yes", a cadre and others should be. Dozens of people immediately stood out of the team, and the ten people left behind naturally continued to be responsible for catching the car.
"Qingfeng, do you want to stay or come with us to have a look?" Ye Yun and Lao Zhang didn't forget to ask Lin Xuanzhong what he meant before leaving.
As an outsider, Lin Xuanzhong was naturally not within the requirements of the middle-aged team leader, but Lin Xuanzhong could choose to stay or go with them. was already very concerned about the situation over there, and without thinking too much, Lin Xuanzhong nodded directly to the stubble man.
Led by the middle-aged leader, more than thirty people quickly rushed to the place where the battle took place.
After a while, three people came in front of him, it was the tall and thin man in charge of the previous two people and Lao Zhou.
"Big brother, are you back?" the two sides converged, and the tall and thin man greeted casually.
"En," nodded at the tall and thin man, and the middle-aged team leader asked again, "Lingyun, how is the situation over there?"
"By the end of the battle, the surviving members of the mercenary team had fled in all directions, and the goods that had been left behind had been seized by more than sixty bandits. ”
Briefly describing the situation over there, the look on the tall and thin man's face did not change, and he didn't seem to care about the situation over there.
"In that case, let's go back. Looking at the place where the battle was engaged, the middle-aged leader shook his head and finally said helplessly. For the middle-aged leader, there were too many bandits over there, and although they had just experienced a battle, the middle-aged leader still didn't dare to risk their team.
didn't stop long, and soon the middle-aged leader went back with a group of people.
On the way back, Lin Xuanzhong had a lot of thoughts, constantly thinking that if they could go over earlier to help. Then even if you can't beat those robbers, it should be okay to scare those robbers away. But after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the middle-aged leader came back, and it took a while to hurry, and now everything was too late.
I don't know if it was right or wrong that they didn't participate in the rescue in time, Lin Xuanzhong only knew that he wanted to help those mercenaries. The scene when he encountered those robbers before is still vivid, and the feeling of despair and helplessness is still unforgettable even now when he looks back on it, just that experience made Lin Xuanzhong hostile to all the robbers in the world, and he wanted to kill every robber.
