After getting rid of the two gnolls, Chu Wen and the two successfully infiltrated the village, and after the previous investigation, Chu Wen learned that about half of the more than sixty gnolls were distributed around the village to patrol or stand guard, and the remaining half were guarded in groups of ten to guard the hostages in the three rooms.

Chu Wen's plan was to first hunt down these scattered gnolls on the periphery unknowingly, and then find a way to deal with those in the house.

The two of them circled around the village, and dealt with thirty-four gnolls without danger, Zhao Jun's physical strength was already a little unable to keep up, and he almost missed several times during the period, but fortunately Chu Wen made up for it in time.

The two finally came to a house where the hostages were held, and the house was not the original in the village, but was built by the jackals in the original subspace.

At this time, there were two gnolls standing in the doorway, and the other eight were guarding the house, these gnolls were obviously much taller and stronger than those patrolling the perimeter, and they were also wearing some crude metal armor, and the strength of their breath had reached the first order.

"These gnolls are obviously stronger, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent anymore, what are you going to do?" Zhao Jun asked in a low voice on the side, he had fully seen Chu Wen's strength along the way, and his previous contempt was long gone.

"There's no other way, wait for you to go out first to attract the attention of the gnolls, and when they go to chase you, I'll come out to rescue those villagers, the gnolls will definitely give up on you and come back to kill me when they see the hostages released, and then you don't have to worry about it, I should be able to solve it." Chu Wen replied.

"Wouldn't that alarm the gnolls in the other two places if they started a fight, and wouldn't our actions be in vain if they hurt the hostages?"

"Don't worry, it's just two of us, and the jackals will definitely feel that they can handle it and won't do anything to the hostages. ”

"Okay!" Zhao Jun thought about it and had no other choice but to agree, and then swaggered out of the hiding place.

"Hey, wolf cubs, look here!" Zhao Jun shouted as he waved at the gnolls at the door.

Of course, the gnoll people didn't understand what he was shouting, but this did not prevent them from being provoked by Zhao Jun, and the two gnolls roared angrily, and then howled, and chased after Zhao Jun, and five gnolls also ran out of the house and chased after them together.

"Not finished?" Chu Wen frowned, but he was still somewhat sure of dealing with the three-headed first-order gnolls at the same time, so after the seven-headed gnolls chased them out, Chu Wen jumped out and rushed towards the house.

Seeing that someone was coming again, the three-headed gnoll men inside rushed out with bone knives and roaring.

Chu Wenyi was not afraid, and slashed down vertically with a knife in one hand

With a "click", the blade sank deep into the neck of the previous gnoll, the gnoll was still struggling, Chu Wen frowned, the defense of the first-order gnoll was too strong, and he couldn't kill it with all his strength.

The other two jackals had already attacked, Chu Wen pulled out his long knife, kicked the seriously injured and dying jackal to the side, and raised the long knife horizontally, holding the two bone knives that were chopped off at the head.

I don't know what kind of animal bone the bone knife is made of, and it is not damaged at all when it collides with the best alloy steel knife made by the army.

Chu Wen held the back of the knife with his left hand, lifted it hard, and opened the bone knife, and when the two jackals couldn't contain it, the long knife slashed horizontally, and a long knife edge appeared in the abdomen of the two jackals at the same time, and blood gushed like a spring.

The two gnolls were completely oblivious to their injuries, their eyes were red, and they roared again and rushed forward.

The corners of Chu Wen's mouth hooked, although these jackal warriors were brave and fearless, they were irrational in battle, and no reason often meant more flaws.

In the face of the two bone knives, Chu Wen did not retreat but advanced, deceived himself, grabbed the right hand of the jackal holding the knife on the left with his left hand, and held the knife in his right hand, and at the same time inserted it from the gap in the armor of the jackal's chest, blood suddenly gushed out of the jackal's mouth, and the hand holding the knife also lost its strength.

The bone knife of the other gnoll was about to slash at Chu Wen, but Chu Wen made a mistake and hid in front of the dying-neol, so the bone knife of the gnoll slashed at the back of his companion.

At the moment when the jackal man was stunned, Chu Wen had already drawn out the long knife and sent it into its abdomen.

In fact, it took less than a minute for the three gnolls to successfully solve it, and the gnolls who were led away by Zhao Jun found that there was a situation on the hostage's side, and sure enough, they returned again.

At the same time, facing the seven-headed jackals increased the pressure on Chu Wen, but fortunately, Zhao Jun was on the side to assist, Zhao Jun's marksmanship was very powerful, and he could always kick Chu Wen to relieve the siege at a critical time.

"Whew"

A loud cry came from the only stone house in the village, and the ten gnolls in the wooden shed on the other side rushed out at the same time, howling at the same time.

"Quick, you run, I will protect you when you get out of the village!" Zhao Jun urged the dozen or so villagers in the house who were being taken hostage, and shot a group of gnolls who were rapidly approaching.

More than a dozen villagers, old and young, had already been frightened at this time, and they rushed to the direction of the village entrance, but they were all tied up with straw ropes by the jackals, and it was inconvenient to run.

He hadn't gone far before he was stopped by four more muscular gnolls rushing out of the stone house.

Seeing that the four jackals were about to attack the villagers, Chu Wen was anxious, he knew that the critical moment had come, and he couldn't care so much.

Chu Wen took out a translucent silver-gray bead from his arms and held it in the palm of his hand, this bead is called a soul bead, which contains a lot of soul power, which Chu Wen dug out from the ghost demon later, and at the same time dug out a third-order demon core, but the value is much worse than this soul bead.

Chu Wen's sea of knowledge had already been opened up when he was in Mount Tai, but he had only recently touched some doorways in soul power cultivation, so his soul power was still too weak, and he would be dizzy if he could use his soul attack at most twice, and this soul bead could just replenish his soul power, so that his soul attack could be used many times in a short period of time, and this was also the key to his confidence in dealing with these gnolls.

As Chu Wen ran the soul decision, a trace of soul power that was difficult to see with the naked eye was transmitted from the soul bead into Chu Wen's body, poured into the sea of knowledge, and turned golden through the filtration of the golden rune seal, and then was pinched into small golden arrows by Chu Wen, and shot towards those few gnolls under the control of Chu Wen's consciousness.

In the face of Chu Wen's attack with golden soul power, these gnolls who had not cultivated soul power at all had no power to resist at all, and they bled and collapsed to the ground the moment the golden arrow was gone.

Seeing the death of the gnolls who blocked the way, the villagers were overjoyed and continued to flee for their lives.

"Whew"

Another long howl came from the stone house, and a short, thin, wrinkled old gnoll walked out with the remaining eight tall gnoll warriors.

One or twenty villagers were tied hand and foot tied and dragged behind.

With the ten gnolls who had just come out of another wooden shed, a total of nineteen gnolls surrounded the two of them in a circle, surrounding Chu Wen and the two in the middle.

"How...... What should I do?" Zhao Jun, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, was also a little panicked when he saw this battle, and saw that Chu Wen was quite calm, and then thought about the previous events, so he pinned his hopes on Chu Wen.

Chu Wen was actually confused, and he didn't know what it meant for the jackals to besiege and not attack like this.

At this time, the old gnoll who was obviously the leader stood up with a black wooden cane, and with a finger of the cane, he picked the tallest gnoll man, and said something, and the tall gnoll stood up, walked into the circle, grinned at Zhao Jun with a hideous smile, and hooked his finger at him.

"This ...... Are you provoking me?" Zhao Jun's face was ugly, and he was provoked by a monster like this. No one will be happy, but Zhao Jun has no confidence to win it, which makes him even more uncomfortable.
