Chapter 31: The Assassin Attack
After receiving the task, the four of them set off from the east gate of White Rock City and headed towards Panshi Ridge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the way, it will take about a day to reach Yau Mai Village.
Along the way, Sha Anna and the eighth master walked in the front to open the way, while Mo He had to lead the horse with Ren and Ren in the back.
Sha Anna happily sang "I am a good girl of the dwarf clan", and the eighth master also sang along, and what was even more despicable was that the eighth master also cooperated with the lyrics and used ice magic to conjure up a dwarf girl, and the ice crystal mini version of the dwarf girl danced in front of Sha Anna with the beat of the two, which made the little girl feel very happy.
Mo He always had an inexplicable sense of loss after being occupied by the eighth master, he didn't care what the people around him thought of him, but he cared very much about the little girl's attitude towards him. Now the little girl seems to have basically forgotten herself, which makes him a little envious and jealous of the eighth master's means of teasing the little girl.
There were still a lot of people on the official road from Baishi City to the east at the beginning, but as the road branched out more, there were gradually fewer travelers traveling together, and in the end, only Mo He and the four of them were walking alone within a few hundred meters before and after.
Seeing that the sun is almost setting, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the village today, and I will have to spend the night in the wilderness. Now there are some dwarf pine trees on both sides of the official road, Mo He originally wanted to find a vacant place nearby and set up camp to rest, but the eighth master said that there is a river ahead, and there may be some other travelers there, and it will be safer for everyone to camp together at night.
Following the advice of the eighth master, I walked another kilometer or two, and sure enough, I saw a river. The river is not deep enough for people, horses and carriages to easily walk through, so there is no extra bridge to build.
As the eighth master said, there are three groups of travelers resting here, there are mercenary groups, and there are solo travelers, there are about thirty people in total. In this way, it seems that there is no need to worry too much about the beasts when camping here at night, but the things that take turns to guard still need to be done.
So Wren, Mo He, and the eighth master began to choose a leeward place and began to set up tents. Shaanna put the large package on the ground, took out three water bladders from it, and went to the river to fill it with water.
The tents were set up quickly, a total of mountaintop tents, one for Mo He and Sha Anna, one for Ren and one for Ba Ye, all of which were double tents with plenty of space.
Wren went to get horse grass to feed the horses, Mo He went to find firewood, and the eighth master helped Sha Anna wash the utensils and prepare dinner.
Some of the other travelers were busy making fires and cooking, some were setting up tents, and some were just laying out a mat or finding some hay leaves to sleep on the ground, as Mo He and Sha Anna had done when they were wandering around.
The eighth master returned to the camp and looked for stones to surround the camp, which was considered to have demarcated the location of the bonfire.
Shaanna continued to wash the potatoes and put them into the pot one by one.
Stampede - the sound of galloping footsteps sounded on the riverbank.
A man in black running along the river beach with a hat and black veil, two Japanese samurai swords crossed over his body, and a black robe, ran along the river beach with a very strange pace. The man in black was followed by a group of people who did not wear hats, black scarves and masks, and were covered in black tight-fitting suits.
The group seemed to be chasing the men in black with hats, and their weapons ranged from katana to two-handed scythes, to a short-handled spear with a spear head at each end.
The eighth master hurriedly got up when the footsteps sounded, just in time to see the man in black wearing a hat rushing in the direction of Sha Anna. Shaanna saw a group of people coming towards her, hurriedly threw away the potatoes in her hands, and squatted with her head in her hands.
At that moment, the eighth master saw something strange from Sha Anna, which made the eighth master distracted. At this moment, the man in black wearing a hat had already come to Shaanna's side, bent down to pick her up, but "Ah!" and his hands bounced away like an electric shock.
It's a young woman! The eighth master can tell the gender of the other party according to the cry. However, he was not in the mood to pity the jade at the moment, he had already condensed the magic in his hand, and he could attack at any time. But Shaanna was too close to the woman in black with a hat for him to look like casting a spell.
But fortunately, the woman in black did not hurt Sha Anna further, she heard the footsteps behind her approaching, quickly got up, and then turned her back to Sha Anna and stretched out her hands to protect Sha Anna.
The group of men in black who were chasing her quickly came near her, and then surrounded her and Shaanna.
At this time, the other mercenaries all took out their weapons one after another, and spontaneously gathered together to guard against this group of uninvited guests.
The eighth master ran towards Sha Anna, but the two men in black who had surrounded the woman in the hat and Sha Anna turned around to stop the eighth master.
"If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" The eighth master shouted, and his clothes and robes let out a large amount of cold air, blowing his clothes all over his body.
The two black-clothed men who were blocking the eighth master were so shocked that they took two steps back and crashed into the others, and then the two looked at each other, raised their weapons and forced the eighth master again.
And the other black-clothed people were frightened by the eighth master, and shouted loudly one by one in non-Rongen Emperor Chinese: "Ya roar, Ya roar!"
Seeing that the two black-clothed men actually dared to stop him, the eighth master directly shook his right hand holding the cane. Two thumb-thick ice crystal nails dragged two cold qi visible to the naked eye and shot directly into the heads of the two black-clothed men, and the two black-clothed men fell to the ground and died one left and one right without even reacting.
As a result, the eighth master not only did not scare the remaining dozen or so black-clothed people away, but instead came over four more to deal with the eighth master. The others began to attack the woman in the hat.
"I don't know how to lift!" The eighth master waved his left hand, and four ice crystal nail thorns flew towards the four black-clothed people with cold air.
Ding Ding Ding
Three men in black with katanas blocked the attack of the eighth master with their swords, and the other one with a double scythe failed to block and was stabbed by ice crystal nails in his chest, but he did not fall.
"A little bit of a skill. The eighth master didn't expect the other party to stop almost all his attacks.
Two with katanas rushed towards Hachima, while the other two supported on the flanks. The eighth master saw that the speed was quite fast, and he didn't dare to slack off, and as soon as he stomped on the floor with his cane, the four ice jade shields sprayed out from the ground, levitating around the eighth master.
These shields were half a finger thick, a basin wide, and the katana of the two men in black at the front slashed at the eighth master's ice jade shield almost simultaneously. As a result, the ice jade shield was only slashed out of a crack with a bang, but it was not broken.
The eighth master would not cut almost them again, and with a wave of his left hand, four ice crystal nails shot out, two of which hit the one on the left and two on the right.
Regardless of whether the two of them were shot or not, the eight masters' four-sided ice jade shields were stacked in pairs, resisting the black-clothed men who came to assist on both sides.
The ice jade shield that had cracks in the outermost layer was broken, but the back layer blocked the weapon.
The eighth master took two steps to the right, and swung his staff at the man in black with a double scythe, but he blocked it. But then the man in black found himself with a thumb-thick ice crystal spike inserted into his abdomen.
"I can't do it. The eighth master kicked away the man in black with a double scythe.
The remaining two ice jade shields flew behind the eighth master, overlapping each other, blocking the katana of the black-clothed man attacking behind him, and the ice jade shield exploded from the direction of the eighth master to the black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man holding the katana absorbed almost all the ice jade shield ice jade fragments, and the whole person was as rotten as a hornet's nest.
After eliminating the four men in black, the eighth master looked at Sha Anna again.
The little girl was fine, still holding her head and squatting. But behind her, the woman in black was desperately defending against the attacks of the other men in black.
There were too many people on the other side, and she couldn't move an inch, so she could only protect herself and Shaanna behind her.
A person who seemed to be the leader of the man in black noticed the end of the battle on the Eighth Master's side, and immediately gave an order, and everyone stepped back to keep a distance from the woman in black and the Eighth Master not far behind him.
Then a few of them pulled out some four-horned darts from their bosoms and threw them at the woman in black from multiple directions.
The eighth master saw it clearly, with a horizontal cane in both hands, the two ice jade shields were instantly formed, and flew to Sha Anna's side to guard.
And the woman in black did something that surprised the eighth master very much at this time, she didn't dodge or dodge, and the katana waving both hands knocked most of it away. A few of them were stuck in her body, and not a single dart flew to the little girl Shaanna behind her.
"Look for death!" Mo He's voice exploded like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the person was still more than ten meters away, and a silver iron spear had already flown towards the leader of the man in black like a thunderous sword.
The leader of the men in black was shocked and raised his weapon to block, but the weapon was knocked away, and the silver iron spear flew past his body.
Before the other men in black could react, more ice crystal spikes than they had still sent out before, raining down from the sky.
This round of ice crystal nail piercing rain instantly wiped out half of the men in black, and most of the remaining ones were also seriously injured.
Wren was slow to fetch his weapon, and it was only then that he appeared in front of the woman in black, shielding her and Shaanna behind her with his shield.
Mo He had already arrived at the silver iron spear inserted in the ground at the end of the ice crystal nail piercing rain, he reached out and pulled out the silver iron spear, and slapped a man in black who got up with a small shield in his hand with one hand. Then with a gun in one hand, his internal strength spread all over his body, and he stabbed the leader of the retreating man in black with one shot.
The man in black next to the two leaders both brandished their weapons to block the front of the head, but they were all pierced by Mo He's shot, and when the tip of the gun was about to stab the leader of the man in black, the leader of the man in black bent backwards and narrowly avoided Mo He's blow.
Mo He shook and freed the two men in black from the barrel of the gun, while the leader of the men in black quickly got up from the ground, turned around and fled quickly. While running, he shouted in a language that Mo He didn't understand, and the other black-clothed people who still had the ability to move also turned around and fled for their lives after hearing it.
"Eighth Master, leave them!" Mo He turned around and shouted at the Eighth Master behind him.
"Calm down, you're too murderous. Spare their lives for now. The eighth master put down the cane in his hand and gently shook his head to persuade Mo He.
