Chapter 23: Don't Kill Yet
At night, quietly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At night, horse thieves are also most active.
Stiena also got into her tent, and before entering, she didn't forget to extinguish the campfire, leaving only some charcoal fire glowing faintly red.
For some reason, Stiena couldn't fall asleep, her eyes stared at the top of the tent, as if looking at the stars in the prairie night sky through the thick fabric of the tent, and she listened intently, and it was quiet in Chris and Pandis's tent.
They're all asleep!
Sighing softly, Stienne closed her eyes and rolled over slightly, allowing herself to lie down more comfortably, and her breathing slowly became heavier.
When her consciousness was about to blur, Stiena suddenly woke up and did not get up, but paid close attention to the movement outside the tent.
It's quiet!
It's so quiet!
There wasn't even the sound of insects.
Oh, no more bug chirping!
Stiena immediately got up, knelt on one knee in her sleeping bag, and leaned out to listen, if not hide the appearance of the elf, you could see that the tail end of Stiana's long ears was turning slightly.
Elves have always had a superior sense of hearing.
Someone's footsteps!
Stiena hesitated for a moment, and gently stepped out of the tent.
The night was dark and dreary, and it was impossible to see clearly from six or seven meters away, and the sound of squirming came, as well as Demut's deliberately lowered voice:
"Miss Styanna, someone looks like they're coming!"
Stianna nodded, but did not speak.
She made a name for herself and dived ahead.
After walking a distance of more than twenty meters, the sound of footsteps was not far away, and Stiena stopped and lay on the ground.
A few minutes later, the footsteps were close at hand.
There seem to be a lot of people!
The footsteps were soft, but they were cluttered.
This means that the number of these horse thieves should be no less than twenty.
This is rare in the grasslands!
In the past few days, the most horse thieves encountered by the three of them were only six.
So there was a hint of surprise in Stienna's eyes.
She whispered a spell in her mouth, sat up abruptly from the ground, raised her hands, and suddenly burst into flames in the crowd ten meters away, engulfing several figures in an instant.
"Ah~"
"Oh~"
They screamed and were on fire, and the pain was so severe that they lost their sense of reason and direction in an instant, and they scattered in all directions, and two of the horse thieves carried the fire from their bodies to the other two companions.
A few more lost their lives after barely a few steps, and fell straight to the ground, allowing the fire to burn them to ashes little by little.
The stench of the corpses immediately permeated.
The sudden flame made many of the horse thieves fall into a stunned state for a while, and the pupils of the people were dilated in the dark in order to get more light, but when the bright flames suddenly tore through the darkness, the surrounding environment suddenly brightened, but the pupils did not have time to shrink to get too much light, so they would feel dazzling, this sudden glare was no less than the effect of flashing, but the blinding time was not so long.
In battle, though, that's enough.
Stiana's right hand was aimed at the still panicked crowd, and one fireball after another burst out, six explosions in a row, and several more corpses fell to the ground.
The rest of the horse thieves, who had already reacted, had spotted Stianna's form and began to rush at her desperately, some of them throwing their weapons at her and then pounced on her.
Then, a meter in front of Stiana, another wall of fire was raised.
The three horse thieves, who had too much momentum to retract their feet, rolled to the ground with a miserable howl of flames, and after a few seconds they would not move, and the rest of the horse thieves bypassed the wall of fire and continued to advance towards Stiena from both sides.
The successive falls of their companions did not stop them in the slightest.
The distance between the nearest horse thief and Stiena is already less than six meters!
Stianna didn't retreat, and after a fireball in her hand hit the horse thief in the front, a glimmer of light flashed in her hand, and the two-handed sword had already appeared in her hand.
The body only shook slightly, the orange fighting spirit rose, and even the two-handed sword was covered with a layer, and the orange light on the tip of the sword was uncertain and translucent, which showed that the condensation of Stiana's fighting spirit still needed to be strengthened, but if the opponent was just these ordinary people, it would not be a problem at all.
Stiena stood still with her sword in hand, and when all the horse thieves rushed closer, she clenched her sword with both hands, spun around, and stabbed into the crowd, the great sword swung in a circle, and in the darkness only a few dazzling orange circles of light raged in the crowd, followed by a series of screams, but always could not hide the sound of the great sword slicing through the bones and muscles of the human body.
The blood flashed, flew and fell in the darkness, falling into the grass one step ahead of the human body, and the hot temperature made the blades of grass shiver even in touch.
Stiena paused slightly, looking at the only two horse thieves left three meters away, the orange light on the tip of the sword swallowed, and with a slight flick, the sword qi cut one of the horse thieves into two sections, and he couldn't die for a while, half of his body rolled a few times, his eyes stared at Stina, determined the direction, and took his hands and feet to crawl towards her little by little, and after a few steps, all the intestines in the abdominal cavity flowed out, at this time, his body lost its strength, and his eyes dimmed.
Looking at the eyes that were still staring at her, Stiena couldn't help but feel chills all over her body.
The last one had rushed in front of her, unarmed and with his hands on her neck, and Stiena could almost clearly see his dirty and hideous face.
"Bang"
He also fell to the ground, unconscious, before Chrisse appeared beside him.
Styanna was slightly stunned, and was about to cut it down with her sword, but Chris said softly:
"Don't kill it yet, it's useful to keep this person. ”
Stiena nodded and put away her sword.
Chris looked around and nodded to Stiana, "Go get some rest." ”
"Hmm!" replied Stiana, but still standing.
Chris entered the meditation horizon, looked around, and after making sure that there were no more horse thieves, he crouched down and turned the unconscious horse thief over.
This horse thief should not be very old, and his skin is still somewhat elastic, because the living conditions are very poor, he is almost so thin that only bones remain, his eye sockets are deep, his bones are protruding, and his blue blood vessels are protruding on the epidermis, and he looks more like a beast than a man from a distance.
A person with such physical fitness, once unconscious, will not wake up so quickly, Chris nodded slightly, took out the Mao Jing from his chest with one hand, held it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, hesitated a little and put it in front of his chest, and stretched out his other hand and pressed it on the horse thief's forehead.
"Don't let anyone disturb me!"
Stiena was stunned, answered, and took out her two-handed sword and put it in her hand. (To be continued.) )
