The old man climbed lightly to Yifan's side, hid behind the tree with Yifan, and said softly with palpitations: "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect these demon armies to come so quickly, we didn't rest for a day and a night, and we were all caught up by them." ”

Yifan gritted his teeth and said: "These beasts, I wanted to find them desperately in Cangyue City, but unfortunately the master didn't let me." Now that they've finally encountered them, they have to let them come and go. According to his character, he couldn't wait to jump out immediately and fight those mutated skeletons.

"Don't be a child. Have you forgotten what the lord told you? The old man hurriedly dissuaded.

"I ......" Yifan just wanted to refute, but the words of the Fashen when he parted sounded in his ears again, and he looked down at the girl in his arms, and forcibly held back the anger in his heart. Shoved the little girl into the old man's arms: "Uncle, you take the child and go first." ”

The old man saw Yifan's thoughts, pushed the little girl back, and said, "Child, I know your mood 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 and his old man. If you want to go, you will also go first with your child. I'll break it off. ”

"How can I leave you here alone. Yifan flatly refused.

"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. ”

"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. "At first, Yifan wanted to stay, because he wanted to fight these mutated skeletons to avenge their blood-spattered beaches. Now that I listened to the old man's words, I knew that this was not the time to be rash, so I gave up this idea. I heard the old man say that he would stay alone to resist the demon army, and with the pride in his heart, how to do it.

While the two were arguing with each other, the sound of rustling footsteps began to be heard not far behind the tree, and the five mutated skeletons had arrived about five feet away from them. These five mutant skeletons were also very cunning, they didn't see the corpse of the person who was hit by the arrow, they knew that the situation was different, they just lingered in place, and they were not in a hurry to move forward. Yifan 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 took the child gently, his face full of reproach, but there was a hint of comfort in his eyes.

The five mutant skeletons lingered in place for a while, and finally searched in the direction of the tree where they were hiding, but the skeleton archers were still standing in place, armed with their bows and arrows, just in case.

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

Coincidentally, the four mutant skeletons that were searching forward were advancing in a straight line, each mutant skeleton was about half a zhang away from each other, and two small fireballs shot out, and the mutant skeleton knife soldier who walked in the front saw it and dodged to the side, and the mutant skeleton hammer soldier who walked in the second place saw it dodging, and hurriedly dodged away, so that all the way down, only the mutant skeleton archer standing five zhang away was left. 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 attacking. So when the fourth mutant skeleton dodged, it didn't dodge, but bent its bow and arrow, squinted one eye and prepared to aim at Yifan, just as it was hit by the oncoming small fireballs, one hit the head, the other hit the chest, and before the bow and arrow were full, half of the head and sternum were melted off. 'Bang la la' suddenly scattered into a pile of skeletons.

Yifan didn't expect to be able to hit with one hit, 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 knew very well that without the cover of the mutant skeleton archers, whoever went out first would become a victim. And after throwing out two small fireballs, Yifan didn't dare to rush over, because the closer he got to the mutant skeleton, the greater the danger to him. What's more, 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. So 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. Yifan certainly knows this. After a stalemate for a moment, he pointed sideways to the old man, signaling the old man to retreat slightly, and the old man understood, and crept out from behind the tree with the little girl in his arms and retreated to the west of the island. Yifan faced the big tree where the four mutant skeletons were hiding, and followed lightly backwards step by step.

Although both of them were light-footed, there was silence in this forest, and any slight 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 of the two of them. How could they agree, each other let out a strange 'coo' from the hollow Adam's apple, and the mutant skeleton knife soldier in front suddenly flashed out from behind the tree, and when Yifan saw this, he hurriedly threw a small fireball at it. However, the mutant skeleton knife soldier only flashed, and then burrowed into another tree next to it, and the small fireball smashed on the tree pole with a "coax", directly burning a bowl-sized scar on the trunk, but it did not hurt the knife soldier.

The other three mutant skeletons saw that the skeleton knife soldier was successful, and they also moved, looking at a tree next to them, and suddenly flashed from behind this tree to behind that tree, they were so prepared to move, and the speed was quite fast, the small fireball emitted by Yifan was half a beat slower every time, and they saw the four mutant skeletons jumping around, gradually getting closer, but there was no way, so they had to 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 directly to attack, and after another 'cooing', leaving two to continue to follow, the remaining two quickly detoured to both 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 been far 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 couldn't help but be very anxious, 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 mana and the body's endurance were far from catching up with the young man, if he used the mana he had gathered for half a day to hit it 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 waitingto save the mana you have gathered for the most 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.

The final moment finally came, and the four mutated skeletons swooped out from behind the tree they were hiding in after another 'cooing'. 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, and the two skeleton swordsmen were instantly melted through two large holes, and they fell apart in the air. But at the same time, two muffled hammers from the two mutant skeleton hammermen also smashed behind Yifan. Seeing that the hammer was about to hit Yifan, the old man suddenly roared, and a circle of light popped out of his waist, quickly spreading 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 zhang, but the two hammers also hit the air.

It turned out that Yifan first attacked the knife soldier with a small fireball, trying to use his back to catch the two hammers, and when he turned around to hit them, he didn't think about whether he could afford the two hammers. The old man made up his mind early in the morning, and when the mutant skeleton approached, he used the little magic power he focused on to use the "Ring of Resistance Fire" to push the mutant skeleton away and create a second chance for Yifan to shoot, but he didn't expect Yifan to attack the mutant skeleton that attacked him first, so this push did not 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. Yifan and the old man were back to back, although Yifan turned around later, the distance between the two was only half a foot. Therefore, this exertion just pushed the sail away.

Yifan's violent bouncing made the two mutant skeleton hammermen stunned, but then both raised the hammer and threw it at the old man, but Yifan still gave 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 it was completed in an instant, seeing that the crisis turned invisible, Yifan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and was about to thank the old man, but the old man "pounced" and spit out a mouthful of blood, his body fell backwards shaky, and Yifan hurriedly rushed up to hold it, and shouted again and again: "Uncle, uncle." After a continuous trek for a day and a night, the old man had already exhausted his physical strength, and with the use of the "Ring of Resistance Fire" too strong, 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
