Chapter Ninety-Six: The Umbrella Bearer
"Flowing ......"
The rain was still falling, as if the clouds in the sky would not disperse, and there was no sign of it fading, but it became darker with the passage of time.
"Stepping on ......"
A slight stampede sounded on both sides of a dirt road, and it was Erlin, who was still in a hurry.
They quickly shuttled through this majestic rain, jumping one vertical and one leap, and each vertical leap could travel more than ten meters.
Rainy and sunny days are two different concepts, and once the road is wetted with rain, it will be potholed and muddy, so it is better to ride on a horse than to walk on foot.
"Sister, there are still six or seven kilometers to reach that little village. Lin Xiuran's voice penetrated into Lin Zixian's ears through the sound of rain.
"Well, I see, I'll rest there when the time comes. ”
......
"Remember, except for the children, there is no one left!" said a man in black coldly, the rain flowing through the slashed side of his face, adding a bit of coldness out of thin air.
"Yes!" ×n
"Okay! ”
A village is located near the waterfront lake, and if you look down from the hill next to it, you can see that the village is spread out in a belt, with about 100 families, all of which are low wooden houses.
Now a group of men in black are approaching the village at a very fast speed, and looking at their murderous appearance, you know that this is a precursor to killing.
It's just strange that these people don't have any weapons in their hands, just antique yellow oil-paper umbrellas, and they can't see anything unusual.
These black-clad men carried oil-paper umbrellas and deftly stepped through the trees and flew over.
"Smack!"
The seemingly hard wooden houses were vulnerable to the whips of the umbrella bearers, and they cracked one after another.
"Who are you?" said a woman's panicked voice, and the next moment her head was separated, and only the baby in her arms was snatched up.
"Woo whoa, whoa!"
The baby, who was a few years old, seemed to be unable to see his mother, and suddenly burst into tears.
"you!!!" the sleeping man heard the movement, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a scene that made him grief-stricken.
The man pulled out a spear from under the bed and stabbed frantically at an umbrella bearer.
Living in this troubled world, even ordinary people will always be around to prepare weapons in case of accidents, and no matter how bad they are, they can have peace of mind.
However, his haphazard moves meant that any umbrella wielder here could kill him in one hit.
"Poof!"
An umbrella bearer's oil-paper umbrella suddenly opened, and he swam close to the man, spinning the oil-paper umbrella and piercing the man's flank.
"Poof!"
The man was disemboweled, and he fell to the ground weakly, only his angry eyes were still staring at his woman's corpse.
"Ahh
A similar scene was still unfolding, where the umbrella bearer passed by only a hideous corpse.
"Stone! Something's wrong! Come and help—"
An oil-paper umbrella wrapped the person, and when the umbrella was opened again, the person was smashed by unknown things above the chest, which was strange and scary.
"Bang!"
An umbrella bearer was knocked out of a room, smashed through several wooden walls, convulsed a few times, and stopped moving, I don't know whether he fainted or died.
Most of the umbrella bearers stared coldly at the source of the attack.
In the continuous rain, a young man in a gray robe with a resolute face was glaring at them, like an angry King Kong.
"You are the people of the Windless Umbrella Sect! My homeland and you have always had no grievances, why do you want to slaughter these innocent people?!" the young man's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of grief and anger.
"Kill him for me!"
The boss didn't talk nonsense with him, the villains who talked a lot are now growing taller, and there are not many such villains in reality, and they don't live long, and it's not a novel, where are there so many stupid villains?
"Boom!"
Another white lightning bolt pierced the already somewhat dark sky, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
"Drink!"
The young man with a steel sword took three steps and two steps closer to the umbrella bearer closest to him.
"Ding!"
The umbrella holder's oil-paper umbrella can be opened up and down, and when fully opened, the outer umbrella surface is steeper, and it looks like an unfinished umbrella, and their umbrella is thicker, and there should be a hidden mystery inside.
"Whew!"
The man's oil-paper umbrella was violently opened, and the stainless steel sword pierced the surface of the umbrella, not piercing the oil-paper umbrella, not even leaving a white mark, but the stainless steel sword slid forward.
The surrounding umbrella bearers divided some of their hands to surround the youth group, and the pace was swift and constantly changing positions.
The man's oil-paper umbrella was withdrawn, and the top of the umbrella popped out with small spikes and large bottoms, cutting horizontally towards the young man, and at the same time his left foot kicked straight over.
"Ding!"
The young steel sword stood erect in front of him, took a few steps back, and then looked at the blade, which had been knocked out of a small hole by spikes.
Although the steel sword sounds like a very high-end appearance, judging from the forging technology of this world, the steel sword is not a rare commodity, otherwise a young man from an ordinary family would not be able to have a steel sword of his own.
"Stepping on ......"
The umbrella bearers around jumped up and down, one after the other, and were only a few meters away from the youth.
"Huhuhu......"
The oil-paper umbrellas of the umbrella holders were opened at the same time, after all, the umbrellas they brought were not used to block the rain, how could the umbrellas be easy to use?
The paper-yellow oil-paper umbrella had now taken off the oiled paper on the outside and was replaced by a chilly silver glow.
It was a weapon made of hydrocarbon silver, and it was several notches stronger than the young man's steel sword in terms of hardness and sharpness.
"Dingding......
The next moment, more than a dozen umbrella bearers covered the youth with oil-paper umbrellas.
The umbrella bearer turns, presses, or stabs, and there are all kinds of attacks, and at the same time, all the retreats of the young man are locked.
"Drink!"
The young man roared wildly, and with all his strength, the sword flowers shot out head-on, and the sharpness of their edges forced two or three umbrella bearers to abandon the umbrella and retreat.
The leader standing at the top stepped lightly, and the oil-paper umbrella above was slightly separated, allowing the leader to face the top of the young man's head.
"Huh!"
A full circle of small scimitars appears on the edge of the leader's umbrella, which looks like a large flat spinning top.
"Drink—"
"Ding!"
The surrounded youth knew that there was no hope of survival, so they gave up the defense, and every move was in a desperate posture.
In fact, he had some chances to escape at first, but how could he let these wicked people slaughter his relatives and friends, he couldn't do it!
The bloodied young man clutched the two oil-paper umbrellas that had been stabbed into his body and pulled them back, revealing the two umbrella bearers hiding behind the umbrellas.
"Boom!"
"Puff puff!"
Two great heads flew up and fell into the puddle.
At the same time, the flawed youth was seized by the remaining umbrella bearers to launch an attack.
"Puff puff puff ......"
"Huhuhu......"
The umbrella bearers quickly dispersed and turned to find the villagers who were still alive.
There was no good meat left on the young man in the same place, and he was directly cut into a pile of minced meat, and the blood stained the small puddle near him.
It wasn't long before the clashing of weapons and screams died away in the rain, and large swaths of wooden houses were destroyed, and corpses lay on their backs, allowing the rain to wash over their bodies.
"Boss, Boss, I've found the baby!" an umbrella bearer ran toward their leader with a baby girl about three years old.
"Huh?!" the leader was a little surprised, and then turned to surprise.
"Are you sure?" said the leader, in a deep voice, this is not a trivial matter, if you make a mistake, you will be killed.
"It's true! Look at the reaction of this sensing stone. The man pulled out a stone the size of an adult's fist and a reddish color overall. At this moment, this stone is red and flashing.
"Well, it's her, and the other babies will be killed!" the leader coldly ordered the ground.
"Yes!" ×N
"Puff puff puff ......"
"Zheng Zheng!"
"Puff puff!"
Suddenly, two black figures scurried into the crowd and killed three umbrella bearers with two swords.
"Zheng!" ×2
"Puff puff!"
Two black figures suddenly appeared here, and they also slashed three people with two knives, and Lin Zixian's secret weapon also killed two umbrella holders who were caught off guard.
It's Erlin!
They came here for a while, and when they saw the tragic situation here, they originally wanted to follow the principle of "nothing to do with themselves, hang high".
After all, they are not good people, and it is impossible for them to "draw a sword to help each other when the road is uneven," and no matter what happens to those people, what does it matter to them? With their character of "not seeing a rabbit and not scattering an eagle," they will never take action if they do no good.
It's okay for people to do anything, as long as it's not in their way, everything is easy to say. Don't want to trigger a side quest when these umbrella bearers are leaving only the baby girl.
[Trigger side quest (chain quest, currently the first ring): Blood Collector 1!]

【Do you want to pick it up?】
“!”
The leader's eyes froze, and he didn't realize that the two people in front of him just now were definitely not low, and they were only high compared to themselves.
But they killed their own people for no reason! This is absolutely unbearable! Don't say so much, just do it!
"Dingding......
The battle began to heat up.
"Qiang—"
Lin Xiuran slashed at an oil-paper umbrella, leaving only a few millimeters of slash marks, which is not serious for an oil-paper umbrella with a thickness of two or three centimeters.
Judging from this situation, Lin Xiuran had to make at least ten consecutive cuts in the same place to break these oil-paper umbrellas.
However, in this situation of fighting more with less, it is difficult to hit only one enemy all the time, so it is not a good idea to break the enemy's oil-paper umbrella by slashing.
"Sister, these people's weapons are a little special. ’
'Well, I know, it doesn't have too many points of force on the contact surface, don't hit the umbrella surface, don't push too hard, use skill!'
'Got it. ’
