Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Shooter
Whew—
As the sharp-horned demon wolf in the middle of the arrow let out a final scream, its corpse landed on Xiuin's left hand side due to the inertia of the bow.
Looking at the corpse of the demon wolf that fell to the ground, its retreat seemed to be still twitching, Xiu Yin was a little stunned, and the arrows that suddenly appeared surprised him, there was still someone here with such superb archery skills?
At this time, the remaining demon wolf saw Xiu Yin standing still and thought that it was an opportunity, and after a short run, he flew towards Xiu Yin again.
Sou!
The sound of the crossbow bolt breaking through the air made Nuo wake up from his stunned thoughts, but the first thing that came into his field of vision was a sharp-horned demon wolf that was pierced through the head by an arrow, and the head was instantly pierced, and the demon wolf that had fallen to the ground could still twitch a few times before it died.
"What a superb archery!"
Xiu Yin knew that this was not a coincidence, and it could be seen that the archer's bow skills were of a very high level, and his arm strength was also very large, and the bow shot could actually pierce the head of the demon wolf.
As for why Xiuin dared to be sure that the bow was not a crossbow, you can see by looking at the length of the arrow, the bow is longer than the crossbow arrow, and the tail is still a wide feather.
"Young Master Xiuyin!" At this time, Jack had already solved the demon wolves besieging him, and hurriedly looked at Xiuyin's situation.
For Jack, with a level 11 physique, he is not afraid of the demon wolf who only has level 1 or 2 soul power, and Jack found that the demon wolf that appeared this time was the same as the usual sharp-horned demon wolf, unlike the two in the mine that actually had a particularly unusual speed, which should not be the speed that the demon wolf has.
"This is?" When Jack walked to Xiuyin's side, he found that the wolf head of the demon wolf's corpse was actually running through the bow, Jack suddenly protected Xiuyin behind him, and at the same time raised the round shield on his left hand, and looked at the other side of the night with his eyes very vigilant.
"It's okay Uncle Jack, if this archer really wants to harm us, he should cooperate with the attack of the demon wolf. Xiu Yin deliberately amplified his voice when he said this, and the archer who was hiding in the darkness naturally took a stand when he heard it.
Sure enough, as Xiuyin's words fell, there were some footsteps in the night, and it seemed that there was not just one person!
"Haha, that's right, huh, isn't this the old soldier of Lai Star City, Captain Jack!" a voice led several figures to pass on the cause and Jack's ears.
The voice was familiar to Jack, and as the figure got closer, Jack lowered his shield.
"Captain Cassel, oh, I haven't seen you in two years!" exclaimed Jack in surprise.
The first thing that appeared from the night was a burly man, wearing a standard light armor similar to Jack's, "Hey, old Jack, I haven't seen you for a long time, when I first arrived here, Bill said that you had a leg injury, and I haven't seen you, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"Thanks to your good luck!" Jack pushed Xiu Yin from behind to the front at this time, and introduced to Captain Kassel, "This is the second son of Baron Xiu Ke, Young Master Xiu Yin!"
"It's an honor to see the young master again, in fact, I also saw you when you were young!" Captain Cassel stretched out his right hand forward, since Xiu Yin did not have any knighthood, so Cassel would not salute him, but would shake hands to show friendship and cordiality.
"Thank you for Captain Kassel's rescue this time, and I also heard my father praise Captain Kassel's bravery!" Xiuin praised Kassel with his words, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to shake Kassel's right hand, and compared the two hands, Xiuin's hand seemed to be two times smaller.
"Haha, the young master is really good at talking!" Cassel listened to Xiuin's praise, and his face immediately bloomed, and then he and Jack wanted to hug each other, and it was obvious that they had known each other in the past.
Xiuin's gaze swept over Cassel's body, he was wearing a standard light armor similar to Jack's in the Starlight Kingdom's army, and he also had a round shield hanging from his left arm, and a long sword stuck diagonally at his waist.
"He didn't put those two bows and arrows!" Xiu said in his heart, Cassel did not have the equipment to carry a bow and crossbow on his body, and his outfit looked like the same standard warrior outfit as Uncle Jack.
At this time, several figures stood behind Captain Kassel, who were Captain Kassel's men, and there were four people in total.
Cassiu's gaze crossed over Captain Cassel and rested on the second fighter on the left behind him.
The warrior was relatively small in size, especially conspicuous among several people, and his body was not made of iron light armor, but leather armor made of leather material, and he was also wearing a leather helmet, it seemed that this warrior liked to go into battle lightly, but what attracted Xiuyin's attention the most was that he held a bow in his hand!
"That's right, it's him, and he's carrying a quiver behind him. ”
Xiu Yin had already determined that the two arrows just now were from the hands of this warrior, and to Xiu Yin's surprise, he just thought that the person who shot the bow must have a muscular arm, but he didn't expect that this warrior looked a little thin but pulled out so much strength, strong enough to penetrate the head of the sharp-horned demon wolf.
"As the saying goes, people can't be good-looking!" Xiu Yin admonished himself in his heart, to survive well in this otherworldly continent, of course, you can't judge people by their appearance, otherwise you will really suffer a big loss!
As Xiu Yin looked at the dwarf warrior, the other party seemed to notice the gaze that fell on him, so when the eyes of the two met in the air for a moment.
Just for a moment, both of them hurriedly avoided it, and of course Xiu Yin knew that it was not polite to look at a person for a long time, so he smiled at the warrior and apologized, while the other party turned his gaze away and stopped looking at Xiu Yin.
"It's not a bad archer, with a good pair of eyes. When Xiu Yin saw the warrior's eyes, he felt that those eyes were particularly sharp and bright, and at the same time, it was possible that he was influenced by the original "him", and Xiu Yin actually had a trace of jealousy.
After a few pleasantries between Jack and Cassel, they both knew why they met here.
Cassel and the others had just gotten a few horses from Baron Schuk to improve the efficiency of guarding the surroundings of Fort Lexing, and after galloping on the plains of Heidel for a long time, they rode back to Fort Lexing, but when they were about to return to Fort Lexing, they noticed the aura of the demonic beasts, and after confirming that they were a few sharp-horned demon wolves, they found that their direction of action was also from Fort Lexing.
Several people chased all the way and found that the demon wolves stayed in the middle of the road and seemed to be waiting for something, and then they dismounted and prepared to quietly surround the demon wolves and annihilate them, but they saw a carriage driving along the road here, and the next thing they didn't expect to meet turned out to be acquaintances.
One of his men led the horses over, and Cassel turned over and said, "Ha, old Jack, let's just get back to Fort Lysing, and tell me about the interesting things you've seen in the past two years!"
