Chapter 118
After killing two prey in quick succession, the mastiff charged towards the men in front of it again, as if nothing had happened. And when the lion mastiff attacked the two, the archers who were protecting the emaciated man in the distance could not help at all due to poor sight. There were other archers to help, but to no avail.
One more group was lost all at once, and now there are two teams left. Lin Xuanzhong and Qing Yi, Wu Yu and one of their mercenary team, while Lin Xuanzhong and the other person continued to be responsible for rescuing the wounded, those archers who had lost their protection now all joined the remaining two teams, just because the remaining wounded were in the center of the melee area, and if they wanted to cover Lin Xuanzhong, they had to keep moving their positions to avoid the personnel of other warbands and the lion mastiff, and they had to get to the right position before they could shoot their arrows.
As the melee area became more and more chaotic, the warbands on the periphery were almost impenetrable inside, so even if they wanted to help Lin Xuanzhong and the others, they wouldn't be able to help for a while.
On the side of Red Tears, "Uncle Zhou, do you want us to go over and help," Seeing that there were still two of the original six teams left, after dealing with the injuries of the injured people who were sent, a member of the Wind Mercenary Army couldn't help but ask the elder.
"No," the old man replied crisply. Because judging from the previous situation, a fourth-order martial cultivator with a certain body technique was completely unsuitable for going deep into the melee area. Now he and another fifth-order martial cultivator have to protect the Red Tears sisters from participating, and judging from the situation just now, even if they themselves participate in person, it may not be of any use, because those lion mastiffs don't care about the strength of the martial cultivators at all.
Now only Lin Xuanzhong and another martial artist with outstanding body skills can still help, so whether or not they can successfully save people mainly depends on their body skills, not how many people there are and how strong they are.
After observing for such a long time, the elder recognized Lin Xuanzhong's posture very much. Although he saw that Lin Xuanzhong often encountered dangerous moments, he could always avoid danger at critical moments. Moreover, Lin Xuanzhong's footwork when he went deep into the melee area alone was even more incredible, and he would not delay a little time, and it was better to go to save people. In short, in the eyes of the elder, Lin Xuanzhong's body is fully capable of saving people, and he just hopes that there will be no mistakes.
"Brother Qingfeng's body is so powerful, I want to learn from him. After repeatedly observing Lin Xuanzhong's rescue, red tears couldn't help but say. In fact, Lao Zhang on the side also wanted to learn Lin Xuanzhong's body method, but when he thought of the terrifying and strange figure when Lin Xuanzhong used his body method to the extreme that night, Lao Zhang felt that that body method was not something he could learn, and the body method should be one of Lin Xuanzhong's secrets, if Lin Xuanzhong didn't say it, Lao Zhang naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it.
"His body is really unique, but I can't see the specific characteristics. Not long after Red Tears finished speaking, Red Medicine followed suit. The tone was still as cold as before, but there was already a hint of amazement between the words.
"He didn't use the body continuously, you can't see through it, it's natural. After Hongyao said his opinion, the elder nodded and explained to the two of them.
In fact, as such people say, Lin Xuanzhong did not use the body method continuously. The continuous use of the Eight Desolation Steps as a powerful body technique is very energy-consuming, not to mention that it is still in the case of carrying another person. Moreover, Lin Xuanzhong felt that intermittently using the Eight Desolation Steps to delay time, sometimes it was more convenient to dodge in a simple way.
After a long time, Lin Xuanzhong found that he could use this to improve his dodge experience and save some energy, so after seeing through the attack habits of those lion mastiffs, except for the critical moment, Lin Xuanzhong rarely used his body technique under normal circumstances.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that because he is often stimulated by the lion mastiff and experiences some dangerous situations, if he doesn't have to save people, Lin Xuanzhong wants to join the battle. Although it may not be of any use, Lin Xuanzhong is confident that he will not let the lion mastiff hurt him. Anyway, under the cover of Qing Yi, Lin Xuanzhong quickly rescued the two from the center of the melee area.
On the other side, Wu Yu's situation was not so smooth, and the person in charge of saving people was a middle-aged man, with a burly physique, a cold appearance, and a face full of traces of weather.
Before the man could save the man after running into the melee area, a mastiff had already turned sharply and took the man as a target.
In the face of the lion mastiff's sudden attack, this person was not flustered at first, and quickly stood with several other martial cultivators by moving flexibly.
A long time has passed since the beginning of the battle, and the several martial cultivators who stood with the cold man were scarred one by one at this time, as embarrassed as the lion mastiff they had been attacking, and in the case of a large consumption of energy, they all did not seem to have the momentum of the cold man.
Of course, they were fifth-order martial cultivators after all, so they couldn't underestimate a few people, and after several fifth-order martial cultivators successfully blocked the lion mastiff at the same time, the cold man quickly left the battle group and ran towards a mercenary lying on the ground inside.
The mercenary lying on the ground was covered in wounds, and was gasping violently at this time, if no one came to save him, this person would probably be too injured to hold out until the end of the battle.
I saw a cold man come to the injured and pick him up without saying a word. He then hurriedly observed the surrounding situation, and then left directly with the injured person through the passage he thought was safe.
But things are not so simple, a lion mastiff is knocked down by some mercenary members at an inopportune time, and only to roll over and sit next to the cold man. Frightened, the grim man immediately retreated to the side and back.
At the same time, the injured lion mastiff quickly reacted, stood up sharply and quickly rushed towards the cold man and the injured man.
In a panic, the cold man had just taken two steps back, but there was a wargroup blocking the way behind him. When the cold man hurriedly changed direction and ran with the injured man in his arms, the lion mastiff quickly rushed towards him, and he was about to approach the two of them.
At the critical moment, Wu Yu in the distance finally saw the situation on the cold man's side, and when he was about to shoot the arrow, he was blocked by obstacles in other positions. In desperation, I had no choice but to move to another location in a hurry. At the same time, two other archers were also looking for a place to shoot their arrows.
There are still so many warbands in the center, there are so many mercenaries here, they are not completely sure, they don't dare to shoot arrows casually, otherwise if they hurt their companions, it is better not to help.
Maybe it was bad luck, after looking for a long time, Wu Yu still hadn't found a suitable position, and the cold man was quickly forced to a dangerous position by the lion mastiff along with the injured man when the nearby people couldn't help.
Suddenly, an arrow feather was shot at the lion mastiff, but it didn't work. In the blink of an eye, Wu Yu found that one of his companions was in the right line of sight, but the opponent's archery skills did not seem to be very good, and he only shot at the back of the lion mastiff.
Seeing that the arrow feather had no effect on the lion mastiff at all, Wu Yu couldn't help but mutter, "waste", and then hurriedly walked over to the person's position. But it was too late, because the cold man who had no way to escape had been forced into a corner, and there were war bands on both sides of the back.
There was not much space between the two warbands, and the gap was left by the lion mastiff, although the two lion mastiffs paid attention to the mercenaries attacking them, but the cold man did not dare to take the risk, so he was in the middle of the three lion mastiffs and did not know what to do.
The lion mastiff apparently didn't give it any time to think, and bit it directly at the cold man and the injured man he was holding. As a result, just as the grim man was considering whether to throw the wounded man back, an arrow feather came from behind, flew almost close to his ear, and shot directly into the mastiff's mouth.
In severe pain, the mastiff's large mouth snapped shut, completely halting its attack, and before the grim man could even realize what was going on, its huge body collapsed with a bang. The crisis was resolved, and the cold man quickly turned around and glanced back, and Qing Yi in the distance was still holding a longbow.
Obviously, at the critical moment, it was Qing Yi who came out to save the lives of the two, and at the same time, Wu Yu had already rushed to the position of the archer just now, and after letting the original person get out of the way, Wu Yu saw the lion mastiff fall first, and then Qing Yi who was standing dozens of meters away.
His face turned cold, and Wu Yu quickly changed his position. Originally, Wu Yu was not optimistic about the combination of Qingyi and Lin Xuanzhong at all, but who knew that the two rescued far more people than they rescued. Now Lin Xuanzhong's role is not only greater than that of his companions, but Qingyi's archery skills are better than his own, how can Wu Yu, who made it clear from the beginning that he was not optimistic about the two, can accept such a fact calmly. But that's the case, so whether you want to admit it or not, Wu Yu can't change anything.
In the following period of time, Lin Xuanzhong quickly rescued several people from the melee area, all of whom were members of the Fengyun mercenary army. As the main fighting party, the Storm Mercenary Army has a lot of casualties, but the Lion Mastiff is only interested in prey that can move and move slowly, as long as they give up the struggle completely after being injured, then there is generally no danger problem.
From the beginning to the present, although there are often emergencies in the process of rescuing people, Lin Xuanzhong has ended up successfully every time. With Qingyi's cover, many times you can successfully avoid those fierce beasts without eight desolate steps. Now Lin Xuanzhong is more and more able to realize the importance of a bow and arrow, with Qingyi, his own safety is indeed strongly guaranteed.
During Lin Xuanzhong's rescue, more than a dozen lion mastiffs died in the melee area, and the mercenaries had a greater advantage. As long as you pay a little more attention, it is difficult for a living lion mastiff to hurt everyone.
In the tall man, one of the original three lion mastiffs died, and the middle-aged team leader was already helping others, and both of them had rich combat experience, so it was not too difficult to deal with the lion mastiff with comparable strength, but it took a little longer.
