Chapter 116
Now in addition to the five lion mastiffs, there are thirty-three lion mastiffs alive, and on the mercenary side, there are more than a hundred people on both sides in addition to the wounded. The ratio of the number of mercenaries to enemy lion mastiffs has not changed much, and the situation is still the same as before, except that the state of the beast and the mercenary is different.
At first, after shooting the dozen or so lion mastiffs, the mercenary team was stronger, but under the onslaught of the lion mastiffs, the momentum was weakening. On the other hand, the ferocity of the lion mastiff is even more powerful, so the situation in the field is naturally more and more unfavorable to the mercenary team. And because the battlefield was constantly expanding, the melee area was getting closer and closer to the convoy, so that Lin Xuanzhong and the others had to retreat a little.
"Do any of you want to go over and rescue the wounded?" While everyone was anxiously waiting for what to do, an elder next to Red Tears suddenly made a proposal to everyone.
Although the person who spoke did not belong to his own mercenary team, Lin Xuanzhong had no objection to this, there were indeed many injured people in the melee area, and if they could not be rescued in time, they could be in danger at any time.
After the elder explained this, the other party's mercenary team immediately lined up seven people, and on Lin Xuanzhong's side, Qingyi was the first to stand up.
"Qingfeng, you go to the melee area to save people, and I will cover you with a bow and arrow. When Lin Xuanzhong noticed Qing Yi, Qing Yi was talking to Lin Xuanzhong with a serious face.
Regarding Qingyi's request, Lin Xuanzhong naturally has no opinion.
"I'll join too," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong nodding, Lao Zhang on the side also wanted to participate.
"Both of you are third-order martial cultivators, and your strength is too low to pass. However, just after Lin Xuanzhong and Lao Zhang came out of the ranks, the elder who spoke just now said coldly.
Hearing the other party say this, the expressions on Lin Xuanzhong and Lao Zhang's faces froze and were a little embarrassed, it is true that most of the more than thirty people are fourth-order martial cultivators, and it is true that in terms of strength, it is not the turn of the two of them.
"Senior, Qingfeng's body is very good, I think I can let him go. However, when he thought of Lin Xuanzhong's ghostly body, Qing Yi didn't intend to completely follow the other party's instructions.
"It's useless to be naked, it's far more dangerous to save people from there than you think!" Seeing Qingyi fighting for Lin Xuanzhong's opportunity to participate, Wu Yu on the side said lukewarmly.
"Time is of the essence, if you think you can then let him go. After Wu Yu finished speaking, the elder answered in a cold tone. In fact, the reason why this person said this, firstly, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to participate, and it was Lin Xuanzhong's business if there was danger, and secondly, the elder had seen Qingyi's archery skills before, since Qingyi felt that Lin Xuanzhong could, it was really difficult to oppose this person.
It didn't take long for twelve people to come out, except for Lin Xuanzhong, the others were all fifth-order martial cultivators. Divided into five teams, each with one archer for cover, and one for the other to go deep into the melee to remove those who were incapacitated from the danger zone. They have to do it without much effort, but the dangers they may encounter along the way are great, and if they become the target of the lion mastiff, everyone is in danger of dying.
After the elder clearly assigned the work to the people, he briefly explained the smiles that they might encounter in the process of saving people, and then explained that everyone should be careful, and then let everyone set off.
"Brother Qingfeng, be careful," when Lin Xuanzhong left with the others, he thought that Lin Xuanzhong's realm was the same as his own, and he reminded him with concern.
At the same time, Lao Zhang on the side also looked at Lin Xuanzhong with a concerned face. Turning to meet the eyes of the two, Lin Xuanzhong smiled at the two, giving them a reassuring smile, and then turned back to the queue.
Half of the twelve people were from the convoy, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't want them to be in danger, but he couldn't keep them going. Now listening to the old man say that saving people is very dangerous, Lin Xuanzhong only hopes that he can save more people as soon as possible and reduce the pressure on them.
It didn't take long for the twelve to split into six groups. According to the instructions of the elder just now, after separating the action, because the melee area is too wide, the archers need to follow the people they want to protect, Qing Yi is naturally with Lin Xuanzhong.
After understanding that Qingyi would use a bow and arrow to protect himself, Lin Xuanzhong was much more relieved. Lin Xuanzhong has always trusted Qingyi's swordsmanship.
Now the wounded in the melee area are distributed in different positions, some are sitting, some are lying, the injuries are different, the only common thing is that they have all lost their mobility, at least the ability to attack. In the melee area, they can't move casually because of their injuries, otherwise once they are regarded as targets by the lion mastiff again, then with their current physical condition, they can't stop the lion mastiff's attack at all.
In addition, the lion mastiff is fierce, and even if others come to their rescue, it is still difficult to ensure their safety, so the best way is to get them out of the melee area, and treating their injuries in time will also help them heal later.
Before the actual start, everyone divided their respective areas of responsibility, so as to avoid some unnecessary trouble. After a brief exchange with Qing Yi, Lin Xuanzhong saw a wounded man on the periphery of the melee area, and without saying a word, he rushed towards the man quickly, avoiding the two battle groups and approaching the injured man directly.
"I'll help you leave," briefly explaining his intentions, Lin Xuanzhong was about to help the other party up.
On the other side, the man had actually been in fear for a long time, and now that Lin Xuanzhong came to rescue him, the man immediately got up. With Lin Xuanzhong's support, the two wanted to get out of the gap step by step. But the truth is not so simple, a lion mastiff discovers the presence of the two men, and immediately rushes despite other attacks, trying to knock down the two slow-moving prey.
At the same time, Lin Xuanzhong noticed that according to his original idea, it seemed impossible to carefully help the other party out and try his best to avoid the threat of the lion mastiff. So, seeing the lion mastiff rushing towards him, he didn't need to be reminded by others, Lin Xuanzhong and the person he was holding accelerated their movement speed at the same time.
It's a pity that it can't be faster than the lion mastiff, and when the two were about to get out of the melee area, the huge head of the lion mastiff collided, and in a blink of an eye, it was less than a meter away from the two. If they continued to move at the speed they had just had, the two of them would definitely be hit by the lion mastiff's head.
In a hurry, Lin Xuanzhong ignored everything else, and took another person with him in eight desolations. As the mastiff's head goes further, teleport to the other side to avoid the mastiff's attacks.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuanzhong continued to take a step back, suddenly widening the distance between the two and the lion mastiff. And when the lion mastiff found that the prey was no longer in its original position, the other mercenaries had already rushed to the front to block the lion mastiff, and Lin Xuanzhong and the people who were supporting him left the battle group smoothly.
Although the situation just now was a little dangerous, Lin Xuanzhong still helped the other person to use eight out of the wilderness. With a wounded, it is impossible to achieve continuity in the use of the Eight Desolation Steps, but it can still be used to avoid the main attack of the lion mastiff, and Lin Xuanzhong can do it even if he moves one step at a time.
It was the first time to take someone to use the Eight Desolation Steps just now, and it was indeed different from using the Eight Desolation Steps alone, but after succeeding once, Lin Xuanzhong really wanted to try the second time. So, after handing over the injured mercenary to the others as soon as possible, Lin Xuanzhong rushed into the melee area again without stopping.
The person to be rescued this time was relatively close to the center of the melee area, and in the use of the Eight Desolation Steps, Lin Xuanzhong's figure shuttled between those battle groups like a gust of wind, and soon arrived at the position of the injured mercenary.
"Are you?" After Lin Xuanzhong suddenly appeared, the man looked at Lin Xuanzhong, who had just stopped, and immediately asked with a surprised expression.
"Hurry up, I'll take you out!" didn't have time to explain his identity, Lin Xuanzhong hurriedly said what he meant. Fortunately, the man just noticed that someone was helping their seriously injured mercenaries out, so he immediately nodded at Lin Xuanzhong very understandingly.
It's just that this person's injuries are obviously more serious than the ones Lin Xuanzhong rescued just now, and he finally helped him up. Moreover, this person far exceeded Lin Xuanzhong's weight, so after Lin Xuanzhong helped the other party up, he felt that it was not easy to take the other party out. After a brief observation of the situation in front of him, Lin Xuanzhong and the other party left from the side of the fierce battle group, because the more fierce the battle, the less easy it was for the lion mastiff to notice the two.
But after all, there were still many lion mastiffs, and before they had taken two steps, the slow-moving figures of the two attracted the attention of a lion mastiff. I saw that the lion mastiff opened its mouth, and suddenly repelled the several mercenaries who were originally struggling to trap it, and then turned around and rushed directly towards Lin Xuanzhong and the two, obviously treating the two as simple targets.
"Be careful," the man in charge of the mastiff immediately reminded the two of them as the mastiff approached quickly.
Following the direction where the voice came, Lin Xuanzhong was shocked to find another huge lion mastiff rushing over. The ferocious momentum obviously wanted to knock the two down, and in a hurry, Lin Xuanzhong briefly reminded the mercenary who was holding him to catch him. Then he sped up and ran outside, but just like just now, the two were quickly caught up by the lion mastiff.
Seeing that the lion mastiff was getting closer and closer to him, Lin Xuanzhong was about to use his body technique when an arrow feather suddenly shot from behind and shot directly at the lion mastiff's head.
The lion mastiff was in pain, and its forward momentum was blocked, and its forelimbs were raised high but did not rush towards Lin Xuanzhong and them again.
Through the gap in the battle group, turning around, Lin Xuanzhong saw that it was Qingyi who was helping him with a bow and arrow, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace. But it was soon noticed by the lion mastiff next to him. Somehow, the lion mastiff seems to be interested in its slow-moving prey, and it is easy to spot the presence of the two, and another mastiff has escaped the mercenary army that had besieged it.
Since it was in the center of the battle group, Qing Yi didn't have many opportunities for archery, so the lion mastiff rushed towards Lin Xuanzhong without any obstacles. While lamenting that the lion mastiff was huge and could easily get rid of the siege of a fifth-order martial cultivator, Lin Xuanzhong had to take the wounded to a safer area as soon as possible.
