The old man climbed lightly to Yifan's side, hid behind the tree with Yifan, looked at the arrow feathers on the trunk, and sighed, "I was still caught up by them." ”

Yifan thought that the old man was afraid, and hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, uncle, with me, I will never let them hurt you." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, it's just that I finally came here." I was about to go to the shipyard, but I still lost all my efforts. It's nothing for me to die. But you and this kid are still young. It can't just be destroyed in their hands. Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly stood up from the ground, as if he had made a great determination, and said, "In this way, you take the child and go first." I'll break it off. ”

"How can I leave you here alone. Yifan flatly refused. Then he stood up and grabbed the old man.

"No, child, I'm already so old, and I don't have a few days to live, but the two of you are different, and the hope of Cangyue City is pinned on you. The old man insisted.

"That's not going to work, either we'll go together or we'll not go. Death is death together. Leave you an old man to this group of monsters, and what kind of person will I become! Even if the master and his old man are here, they will never agree. Yifan grabbed the old man tightly. Sneaking in from behind the tree, he saw that there were only five figures, and his heart was relieved: "Don't be afraid, there are only five of them." As he spoke, he handed the little girl to the old man with one hand: "Uncle, you help me hold the child first." I'll meet them. ”

The old man grabbed Yifan with his backhand and said, "Don't be a child." Have you forgotten what the lord told you? ”

Yifan gritted his teeth and said: "This group of beasts, I wanted to find them desperately in Cangyue City, but unfortunately the master didn't let me." Now that they've encountered them, they have to be left to have no return. ”

The old man shook his head. "I know how you're feeling right now. But the city lord sacrificed his life to stop the demon army from buying us time to retreat, hoping that we could reach the shipyard safely. Now that the life and death of the city lord are unknown, among the younger generation, you are the most important person in him, and you should take the responsibility you should take in such a dangerous moment. How can you rely on a moment of righteousness to ignore the overall situation of Cangyue City. If something happens to you, how can you be worthy of the city lord's bloody battle on the beach. ”

"I ......" Yifan just wanted to refute, but the words of the Dharma God's parting words sounded in his ears again, and the decisive back of the Dharma Body when he rushed to the beach also appeared in front of him, he looked down at the girl in his arms, and slowly retracted the foot that stepped out.

I heard the old man say again: "Although there are only five of them, you have been dragged down with this child." If you still think about me in your heart, you won't be able to let go of your hands and feet. This is not the time for righteousness. You should think more about what to do behind the Cangyue people. ”

According to Yifan's temper, even if he fights for his life, he has to go out and fight with the mutant skeleton. But now that I listened to the old man's words, I knew that I had a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and my desperate heart was suddenly blocked by concerns. I was in a hurry for a while, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. At this moment, there was a rustling of footsteps not far behind the tree, and the five mutated skeletons had arrived about five feet away from them. Yifan's tangled heart suddenly became clear, and he handed the little girl to the old man, and whispered in his ear: "It's too late to say anything now, you hide behind the tree, and I will deal with them." ”

The old man knew he was right. At this moment, the demon army has arrived in front of him, and he can't leave even if he wants to. took the child lightly at the moment, his face was full of reproach, but there was a trace of comfort in his eyes.

The five mutant skeletons were also very cunning, and when they saw the arrow feathers stuck in the trees, they knew that the situation was different, but they just lingered in place, and they were not in a hurry to move forward. After wandering in place for a while, they finally couldn't help but search in the direction of the big tree where they were hiding, but the skeleton archer was still left standing in place, holding his bow and arrows, just in case.

Listening to the footsteps from far and near, Yifan secretly gathered two small fireballs with both hands. When the four mutant skeletons walked to a distance of only about three zhang from the big tree, they flashed out from behind the tree, and smashed the two small fireballs in their hands towards the mutant skeleton swordsmen who were walking in the front.

Coincidentally, the four mutant skeletons happened to be in a vertical line to search, each of them was about half a zhang or so apart, a sail flashed out from behind the tree, they were immediately alert, seeing the small fireball hit, the mutant skeleton knife soldier who walked in the front hurriedly dodged to the side, and the mutant skeleton hammer soldier who walked in the second place saw that he was busy and followed to dodge, so all the way down, after the two mutant skeletons in the third and fourth places dodged, only the farthest mutant skeleton archer remained.

The mutant skeleton archer had also seen a person flash out from behind the tree, but due to the obstruction of the mutant skeleton in front of him, he couldn't see the small fireball coming. With joy in his heart, he hurriedly set up arrows and drew his bow, squinting his eyes and crooked his mouth. Before the bow and arrows were full, two small fireballs were already attacking head-on. One hit the head, the other hit the chest, and it scattered into a pile of skeletons.

Yifan didn't expect to be able to hit with one hit, and he was overjoyed, and grabbed it with both hands in the air, and two small fireballs gathered in the palm of his hand. However, the four mutant skeletons who had escaped had already found a tree to hide behind and refused to come out. They are cunning and know that without the cover of the mutant skeleton archers, whoever goes out first will be a victim.

Yifan didn't dare to rush over, after all, the Cangyue people were good at long-range attacks, and the closer they got to the mutant skeleton, the greater the danger to him. And more importantly, if he rushes over, the old man and the little girl will be out of his control, and they may be attacked by mutant skeletons at any time.

Yifan crossed his legs and opened his hand, two small fireballs swirled faintly in his hand, and the mutated skeleton hid behind the tree, hiding its head and shrinking its tail, waiting for the incident to happen. The two sides were at a stalemate, and no one dared to cross the thunder pool.

However, there is no doubt that this will be beneficial to the mutant skeletons, because there may be time when another mutant skeleton or mutant cow will catch up from behind. After a moment of stalemate, Yifan didn't dare to delay with them endlessly. Sideways pointed to the old man, signaled the old man to retreat slightly, the old man understood, crept out from behind the tree with the little girl, and retreated to the west of the island step by step. Yifan faced the big tree where the four mutant skeletons were hiding, and slowly followed backwards.

Although both of them were lightly-footed, there was silence in the forest, and the slightest movement would be magnified to a large extent, and the four mutant skeletons did not dare to stick their heads out to visit, but they could know their intentions from the slight footsteps. How could they agree, and each other let out a strange 'coo' from the hollow Adam's apple, and the mutant skeleton swordsmen in front suddenly flashed out from behind the trees, and hurriedly threw small fireballs at them. However, it flashed and burrowed into another tree next to it, and the small fireball smashed on the tree pole with a "coaxing", directly burning a scar the size of a bowl on the trunk, but it did not hurt the skeleton knife soldier.

The other three mutant skeletons saw that it had succeeded, and they also moved, and when they saw a tree next to them, they suddenly flashed from behind this tree to behind that tree, they were so prepared and fast, and the small fireballs sent out by Yifan were always half a beat slower, and they all smashed into the tree. Seeing the four mutant skeletons jumping around, gradually getting closer, there was nothing they could do, so they had to speed up their pace and retreat while fighting to maintain the distance from the mutant skeletons. However, the old man was already physically exhausted, and now he was holding the little girl, how could he walk fast, and after a while, the distance between the two sides was only about a zhang.

Fortunately, the mutant skeleton was afraid of a small fireball after all, although it was only a foot apart, but it did not dare to rush up and attack directly, and after another 'cooing', leaving two to continue to follow, the remaining two were far away to the sides, the purpose was obvious, to surround the three in the middle, in order to attack.

After a while, the mutant skeletons on both sides have circled in front of the three people, forming an overall encirclement of the three people, and slowly shrinking the encirclement more and more, the old man saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was very anxious, and he wanted to help Yifan several times, but he couldn't make a move with the little girl in his hand, and secondly, he didn't dare to make a rash move, he must have been old, and the time to gather magic power and the body's ability to withstand it were far from catching up with the young people, if he easily beat the magic power he had gathered for half a day in the form of two small fireballs, then he had to gather for half a day before he could shoot again, so he had been waiting, waiting until the last critical time。

At this moment, they were surrounded by mutant skeletons in the middle, and the three of them could no longer move to the west of the island, so they had to stand back to back, and soon the four mutant skeletons were only about a zhang away from them, and the small fireballs in the palms of Yifan and his palms were flashing with blue light, just waiting for the demon army to finally pounce on them and fight to the death.

This final moment finally came, and the four mutant skeletons probably felt that they had taken advantage of the time and place, and after another 'cooing', they simultaneously scurried out from behind the tree where they were hiding. Attacking the three men in the middle from four directions, two machetes aimed at the old man, and two hammers aimed at a sail.

The attacking mutant skeleton lost the cover of the tree pole and was completely exposed to the attack of a small fireball, but when he saw Yifan turn around, the small fireballs in both hands came out of his hands and smashed into the two mutant skeleton swordsmen who attacked the old man.

The two skeleton swordsmen were instantly melted through two large holes, and they fell apart in the air. But at the same time, the two mutant skeleton hammermen's two muffled hammers were less than a foot away from the back of the sail.

Seeing that the hammer was about to hit Yifan, the old man suddenly roared, and a circle of light popped out from his waist, quickly spreading out in all directions, Yifan only felt a strong force to push himself to the side, and his body couldn't help but fly backwards for more than a foot, but the two hammers also hit the air.

It turned out that Yifan attacked the knife soldier with a small fireball first, trying to use his back to hard-catch the two hammers that came from behind, and when he turned around to hit them, he didn't think about whether he could afford the two hammers. I only think about solving the crisis of the old man first.

The old man made up his mind early in the morning, and when the mutant skeleton approached, he used his focused magic power to cast the "Ring of Resistance Fire" to push the mutant skeleton away, creating a second chance for Yifan to make a move. It's just that he didn't expect Yifan to attack the mutant skeleton attacking him first, so this push didn't push the mutant skeleton away, but pushed Yifan aside.

This "Ring of Resistance" is also a magic skill of the Cangyue people, which is different from the "Wall of Fire" and "Magic Shield", which is a skill that focuses on defending and attacking, gathering mana to pop a force from the waist, bouncing enemies close to you before performing a real attack. This trick is very useful when encountering the enemy's close attack, but it inevitably has its own flaws, that is, it must be mastered at the right distance and timing, because it is useless when it is far away, and it is inevitable that it will not be able to use it when it is close. The old man was holding the little girl in both hands, and it was impossible for him to cast a small fireball like a fan, so he could only use this trick.

Yifan was bounced away from the expectations of the two mutant skeleton hammermen, and he was stunned and then raised the hammer and smashed it at the old man, but how could Yifan still give them a chance. With both hands raised, two small fireballs had already come out of their hands. One of the two mutant skeleton hammermen scattered into a pile of bones.

In fact, all this is a long story, but when it happened, it was only in an instant, seeing that the crisis turned into invisible, Yifan breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to thank the old man, but the old man spit out a mouthful of blood with a "pounce", and his body fell backwards with a shaky body. Yifan hurriedly rushed forward to hold him up, and shouted again and again: "Uncle, uncle." ”

After this continuous trek for a day and a night, the old man had already overdrawn his physical strength, and now after using the "Ring of Resistance to Fire", his body could no longer support it, and he fainted in Yifan's arms. At this time, in the woods next to it, there was another chaotic sound of footsteps.
