Chapter 188: Attack from all sides
The remaining four dwarf mules all looked at Li Hai behind them when they saw their companion lying injured and fell to the ground.
Li Hai saw the dwarf mule looking at him fiercely, showing a fierce appearance with bared teeth and grinning, and he didn't feel a little worried in his heart.
He blocked his backpack in front of him and said tremblingly: "Don't come here, I have been studying martial arts in Shaolin Temple since I was a child, and a few of you are not my opponents at all, if you don't want to die, leave here quickly, otherwise I will let you die ugly!" ”
The dwarf mule couldn't understand Li Hai's words at all, but he could tell from his tone and expression that he was threatening himself.
So the dwarf mules looked at each other and continued to walk in the direction of Li Hai.
Seeing that he couldn't deter them, Li Hai hurriedly pulled the backpack on his chest and took out dry food and bread from it.
threw it on the ground next to him, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't you like to eat these things, I will give you all these dry food and bread, so that you can eat enough, hurry up and pick it up, it's delicious!" ”
Several dwarf mules stared at Li Hai and did not glance in the direction of the dry food at all.
They walked towards Li Hai with a murderous aura, and it seemed that they would not give up until they killed Li Hai.
Seeing that Li Hai was in danger, I immediately struggled to get up and took the red silk sword directly from my back.
As soon as the long sword was unsheathed in his right hand, he heard the red light of the sword body flowing, and a low sound came from the sword body.
At this time, the dwarf mule was only less than two or three meters away from Li Hai, and Li Hai had already retreated to the end of the cliff, and there was no way back.
Seeing that Li Hai was cornered, I quickly stepped forward with my sword, raised the red silk sword in my hand and slashed at one of the dwarf mules.
I thought that these dwarf mules would not notice when they turned their backs to me, but what I didn't expect was that just as the sword blade was sideways, the dwarf mules flashed lightly and immediately turned their heads to look at me.
The other three dwarf mules also turned around, their eyes full of anger, as if they wanted to eat me alive.
"Brother Chen, you and Brother Li are waiting over there, I'll go over and save you!"
Just when the two sides were confronting each other, Su Dingqin's voice came from a distance, and following the sound, Su Dingqin was unloading his equipment and crossing the bridge again.
Seeing this, I hurriedly shouted to stop me: "Don't come Brother Su, this wooden bridge is in danger, if you come over again, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back!" ”
Su Dingqin stopped when he heard this, although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to take another step forward.
After all, Li Hai had stepped on the wooden bridge just now, and if it was trampled by many people, it would probably break.
At that time, not only will we not be able to get by, but Ning Nanxi and others on the opposite side will not be able to come back.
"Brother Chen, then you and Brother Li should be more careful, although this dwarf mule does not eat meat, it is brutal by nature, and its body is extremely sensitive, you must pay attention to safety!" Su Dingqin stood in the distance and shouted loudly.
As soon as Su Dingqin's words fell, the four dwarf mules standing in front of me suddenly attacked me.
The four dwarf mules at the same time, with their sharp claws, struck at the door of my chest.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that the opponent has eight claws.
In the panic, I didn't have time to resist, so I directly waved the red silk sword in my hand and slashed into the air, accompanied by the swing of the long sword, a red light sword qi burst out from it, and there was a swishing sound in my ears.
Although these moves were messy, they were extremely effective, because the undisciplined dwarf mule did not know where the long sword would attack, so he had no choice but to retreat first.
I was overjoyed to see the mule retreat a few steps, I thought that the mule was afraid and ready to flee from here, but what I didn't expect was that the four mules looked at each other, and their figures flashed and surrounded me directly.
Four dwarf mules are located in four directions, south, south, north, and west, and their bodies are bowed and their claws are sticking out, and they may attack me at any time.
I only have one pair of eyes, and even if I can see the traces of three dwarf mules at best, one of them standing behind me, and if I try to fight the other three, I will inevitably be attacked by this dwarf mule.
Just as I was thinking about what to do, four dwarf mules attacked me from four directions at the same time, and when I saw the danger coming, I immediately waved my long sword in my hand to block.
The blade was so sharp that the oncoming mules didn't dare to parry easily, and just as I knocked back the three mules in front of me, there was a sudden stabbing sound behind me, and then I felt a burning pain in my back.
Immediately, a stream of heat flowed down his back, and bright red blood continued to drip down his back, making a crackling sound.
Looking back, the mule was looking at me with sinister and strange eyes, a grim smile on the corner of his mouth, and his sharp nails under the moonlight carried a strip of flesh several centimeters long, and the flesh was stained with blood.
I was furious at the sinister and cunning expression of the mule, we had only set a trap and taken their straw hats, and had apologized afterwards and distributed food to them, but I did not expect them to want to kill us, and since they were so hard pressed I had no need to be polite to them.
Thinking of this, I placed my finger on the red silk sword, only to hear a sharp blade pass through my fingertips, and in an instant, blood flowed out of the wound and dripped directly onto the blade.
In an instant, the red silk sword was as red as blood, and there was a red halo around it, and the dwarf mule saw the change of the red silk sword, his eyes suddenly changed, his body bowed, and he raised his sharp claws and attacked me with a leap.
Since the mule had not consulted with the others beforehand, the three mules behind him did not act.
Seeing that the time had come, I stepped forward and raised my sword to slash at the oncoming mule.
When the dwarf mule saw the sword falling, he raised his sharp nails to block, only to hear a splash of blood, and the dwarf mule's left arm was directly cut off by me.
The bloody palm fell to the ground, and the mule let out a piercing roar.
The sudden change shocked the three deep mules, I took advantage of them not to come forward to attack directly raised my sword and stepped forward, raised my hand horizontally, a violent sword qi swept, the head of the short mule was directly cut off by the sword qi, and suddenly the blood from the wound on his neck splashed out like a fountain, and after two or three seconds, he fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Brother Chen is so good!" Su Dingqin and the others, who were standing on the opposite side of the wooden bridge, praised loudly after seeing that I had successfully killed one of the short mules.
Seeing the dwarf mule die, my confidence doubled, and I turned to look at the dwarf mule behind me with the red silk sword in my hand, and said in a cruel voice: "If you want my life, you have to see if you have the ability to do this, since you want to kill me, then don't go back alive!" ”
As I spoke, I rushed forward with the red silk sword in my hand, and engaged the remaining three dwarf mules in one place, although this dwarf mule was sinister and cunning, but it was by no means the opponent of the red silk sword, after a few moves, the three dwarf mules had been killed by me, and the remaining one just wanted to turn around and flee into the dense forest, I directly stepped forward and took advantage of its lack of spare long sword through its chest, only to hear a pop of the sword blade through the chest of the dwarf mule, and then he fell heavily in a pool of blood, and after a few struggles, he stopped moving.
Li Hai saw that I had killed the four dwarf mules and walked in front of me with his backpack, raised his thumb and praised: "Chen Mo, there are really you, I killed all these dwarf mules in such a short time, by the way, what should I do with this dwarf mule, I think he fell to the ground and was probably injured a lot." ”
Hearing this, I turned my head to look at the dwarf mule that was smashed to the ground by Li Hai, at this time his face no longer had the fierce and violent look before, but became frightened, he kept retreating with both hands, and his eyes showed a look of horror, although this dwarf mule had no power to fight back, but I knew that if he was kept, it would be a tiger returning to the mountain, thinking of this, I looked at Li Hai and said in a deep voice: "The wildfire is inexhaustible, the spring breeze blows and grows, if you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it will be a disaster in the end!" ”
With that, I raised my sword and stabbed the sharp blade directly into the mule's chest, killing him with a single sword.
Looking at the stump and broken arm of the dwarf mule on the ground, I have some mixed feelings in my heart, if they didn't come back to seek revenge, maybe it wouldn't be this result, but this is also their own blame, no one else is to blame, after a moment of silence, I put the long sword back into its scabbard, looked at the wooden bridge not far away and said: "Let's go, Lao Li, Brother Su, they are still waiting for us." ”
Li Hai nodded and then walked with me in the direction of the wooden bridge, Li Hai walked in front, I followed closely behind, although Li Hai's body was heavy, but the wooden bridge withstood his weight, and finally after ten minutes, the two of us crossed the wooden bridge without danger, after crossing the bridge, I looked back at the mountain stream hundreds of meters deep, and I didn't feel a little afraid in my heart.
"It's okay Chen Mo, did you let the dwarf mule scratch just now?" Seeing that after I landed, Ning Nanxi asked worriedly in front of me.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little bit of skin, and it's not in the way." I looked at Ning Nanxi and smiled.
After hearing this, Ning Nanxi pressed my shoulders with both hands and turned me around directly, and then exclaimed: "It's okay to say that there is nothing wrong with such a long opening, there are many poisonous insects in Xiangxi Miaojiang, and there is also miasma, what if the wound is infected, I will disinfect and bandage you now, you bear with it." ”
Seeing that Ning Nanxi was making a fuss, I hurriedly said that it was not so serious, but Ning Nanxi did not comply, and after helping me to sit down in front of the stone, he took out the prepared alcohol and gauze from my backpack to disinfect and bandage me.
"Brother Chen, Miss Ning is really good to you, but she's a little younger, otherwise I think you two are quite suitable." Chen Xiaohu walked up to me and said with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, what are you talking about, I'm just ......"
Without waiting for Ning Nanxi to finish speaking, Chen Xiaohu smiled and said, "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, you go on, I'll take a look around first." ”
After seeing Chen Xiaohu walk away, I glanced sideways at Ning Nanxi, whose cheeks were crimson, and said, "Thank you, Miss Ning." ”
"Be polite to me, I'll be the same if I were someone else, I can tell you don't think about it, this girl doesn't mean anything to you." After speaking, Ning Nanxi put the alcohol and gauze in his hand in my palm and said, "I bandaged you, you can take this alcohol and gauze yourself, change it again tomorrow, and the wound should be able to scab over after two or three days." ”
After looking at the alcohol and gauze in my hand, a warm feeling rose in my heart, although I have no family now, but I still have friends, whether it is Li Hai or Ning Nanxi, they are all my friends, friends who can entrust my life, and they will not feel lonely even if I am alone in this world.
After resting in place for more than ten minutes, Su Dingqin walked in front of a few of us and said: "This place is too close to the Gu worms, we must not stay for a long time, according to my opinion, let's continue to walk forward to see if there is a suitable open space for camping, let's spend the night in this forest tonight, and wait for tomorrow morning to go to Shengmiao, by the way, Brother Chen, how far is it from Shengmiao?" ”
After hearing this, Chen Xiaohu glanced around, and said that there are still about twenty or thirty kilometers to reach Shengmiao after getting off this mountain, but this is only the first of the eighty-one difficulties, and there are more dangers waiting for us behind, and it is not easy to reach Shengmiao smoothly.
