Chapter 7 Juli III

We ran down the hill in a hurry, and Atto and Hogg screamed as they ran, as if they had lost their souls. I don't know what Ramru's screams mean, but they are suddenly so frightened, but they are also shocked by their sudden panic.www.biquge.info

By the time we reached the bottom of the mountain, Atto and Hogg were already sweating profusely, and my back was drenched in sweat. As soon as I stood at the foot of the mountain, I only felt my body collapse for a while, my head was dizzy, and it seemed that my feet were also dragged out of blood. If I hadn't had it for Atto and Hogg now, I'm afraid I'd have collapsed on the ground.

I tried to ask Atto what had happened, but Atto and Hogg didn't bother to talk to me, and when they got to the shore, they dragged me across the river.

And just as we stepped into the river, there was a chaotic shout at the corner of the woods on the north bank of the river, and I saw more than 20 people rushing out of the corner in a hurry, jumping into the river with all their might, and while scrambling to run, they turned their heads to look behind them, as if something terrible was approaching them.

When we saw them, they saw us too, and Ramru waved anxiously at us, signaling us to speed up as we rushed toward the opposite shore.

The more they did this, the more inexplicably panicked I became.

Could it be that Ramru and they have encountered some wild monsters?

But they originally made a living by hunting, and even if they encountered wild monsters, they wouldn't be scared like this.

I was wondering when suddenly, I heard a sound of breaking through the air coming from around the corner, and a spear shot out of the trees with a "whoosh" and went straight to Ramru and the others. A man who ran last tried to dodge sideways, but at this time he was already in the river, where could he still have time? Sideways was a step too late, and he was suddenly pierced through the head by the spear, and he fell into the water without even making a sound, splashing a pool of blood.

In the blink of an eye, a person died, so suddenly, I also chuckled in my heart. But he heard the neighing of a horse around the corner, and after the spear, forty or fifty flower-faced men on tall horses and in animal skins rushed out.

It was someone from another tribe who was chasing them!

I never thought it was a group of people who caused Ramru to panic, and in my heart I was still thinking that it was a feroculous beast like a wild monster. At this moment Ramru and the others let out a terrible exclamation, and Ato, beside me, followed suit, her cry was already a little crying, trembling, dragging my arms, her nails almost digging into my flesh.

These men were menacing, spears in their hands, and their mouths were screaming with a sharp and crooked scream. They sat down and galloped their horses, and as soon as they turned out of the woods, they rushed into the river with a thunderous gallop, and rushed towards us. Looking at them, it seemed that they were going to wipe out Ramru's group.

I immediately woke up from my trance. There are many crusades between the tribes of the Western Regions, and it is good to make alliances with each other and share resources, but when they meet each other at discord, they are killed, and there is no mercy at all. At this time, Ramru and the others were so frightened that they had already fled, and one of their clansmen had just died...... Could it be that these later people were the sworn enemies of the Ramru tribe?

Sure enough, as soon as the natives on horseback appeared, they rode their horses to chase and kill. Forty or fifty people rode horses and charged, and they went down the river, which was simply an unstoppable torrent, and the speed was not unfast. When they turned out of the woods, they were not far from Ramru's group, and at this time they were even closer to Ramru within more than ten zhang of them, and they were only twenty or thirty zhang away from us. The men stood up as they ran on horseback, but their spears rained down on Ramru. At such a close distance, Ramru was again in the river, and there was nowhere to hide, and the spears fell, and four or five men were nailed to the riverbed. Ramru and the others shouted again, and fled faster, and a man with a rope stuck in his back was full of spears, but he fled as if he didn't know. But he only ran a few steps, and his body went limp, and he fell into the water.

In just a few breaths, seven or eight more people died, and Ramru's original team of more than twenty people now had less than fifteen people left. I couldn't help but rush over to help, but I didn't know that my body was so moving, I couldn't withstand the drag of Atto and Hogg, I intended to go upstream, but I was pulled by the two of them and rushed towards the opposite bank.

I couldn't help but be angry in my heart, and said, "Ato, Ramru is in trouble, we should go and help, why do you just want to run away like this?!"

I said this with a deep sense of reproach, and my voice was a little loud, but Ato's whole body trembled, and he said tremblingly, "No...... Can't go, they eat people!"

I was startled, thinking I had misheard, and said, "Ato, what are you talking about!"

Probably dragging me like this made her finally a little unbearable, or maybe Atto didn't want to talk to me at this time, suddenly turned his head to look at me, and shouted heartbreakingly: "They eat people! They eat many of our children, and they roast our people on the fire to eat! Men, women, old and young, eat!"

"Let's go!"

When she said this, her eyes were full of tears, and the eyes that looked at me were already full of despair.

I felt like I had been beaten on the head, and my mind was "buzzing", and I no longer resisted the pull of Atto and Hogg, and looked at Ramru and the others who were fleeing in a hurry to the north.

At this moment there was a splash of water on the riverbed, and the forty or fifty men were less than ten feet away from Ramru, and three more of them were dead, but their desperate flight was more urgent than before. It was like a completely one-sided killing, and the people behind seemed to be chasing easily, and Ramru and they desperately fled, and there was no room to fight back. But now that they are chasing and fleeing like this, I only feel that the hairs on my body have stood on end.

My heart was beating violently inexplicably, causing bursts of blood vessels to erupt in my body. Even though I've experienced life and death scenes, I'm still a little flustered at this time.

If it's really as Atto says, then those of them are hunting people?

I simply can't imagine.

But at this moment, suddenly, a piercing sound suddenly sounded in front of me, and a spear shot like thunder from the woods on the shore, straight to Hogg's chest on my right.

The spear came so suddenly, only in the light of lightning, but it flew out and rolled up a cyclone.

Atto and Hogg were stunned, but their bodies were still running mechanically, and their grips on me never let go. I almost didn't react, I couldn't help but feel a wit, my left hand immediately let go of Ato, slapped the belt around my waist, the shadow chasing sword was already out of my waist in my hand, and I slashed at the flying spear without thinking.

I only heard the crisp sound of metal handover coming from the "ding", and the shadow chasing sword was slashing at the spikes of the long hair, but the spear was coming extremely fast, and I was already weak, so this block did not bounce the spear away, but my left arm trembled. In a moment, I couldn't help but let out a loud roar, and my whole body pressed down, and my left arm was pressed against the shaft of the spear. With my own weight, the spear lost its sights, but it was so powerful that I could deflect it, but I couldn't stop it, grazing my left arm and thrusting it at Hogg's feet with a "poof", its tail shaking.

The force of this hand was so great that now we were standing in the water, and the spear could penetrate the current and be firmly rooted at the bottom of the river, so that the person who threw the spear was not idle. Although the spear was blocked, this action made me suffer, and I felt like I was deflated, and I couldn't help but fall half-kneeling in the river.

Atto and Hogqi next to me exclaimed in surprise, and quickly helped me up, Atto opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but it was like being choked, and he couldn't say a word, just kept looking at the woods on the other side of the river, and his lips trembled.

I took a few breaths, the shadow chasing sword pestle was in the aragonite at the bottom of the river, and I turned my head to look at the other side of the river, only to see a dozen figures appear in the woods on the other side of the river.

The dozen or so men were also on horses, and when they came out of the woods, they stopped on the shore and lined up, and the leader was an extremely burly man. By this time we were not far from the shore, and we could clearly see the man's face. The man had three strips of red paint on each side of his face, holes in his earlobes and the bridge of his nose, small white animal teeth, black paint on his eye sockets and lips, and a hat with sun-colored feathers on his head.

A face that at first glance looks like a battered grimace.

The back road was fired.

It flashed through my mind, it seems that this time I ran into their tribe by no accident, otherwise they would not have intercepted them in the back.

Are they really here to ambush us for the purpose of eating people?

The way was blocked and we all stopped. The man hurried the horse to the shore, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the horses under him neighed. Probably this was their secret word, and I saw that the forty or so men who were driving Ramru not far to the north raised their arms and let out a cheer, and no longer threw their spears, but as if they were driving pigs and sheep, they used their spears as whips, and whipped Ramru and a group of them, driving us away.

I looked at Ramru not far away, he was already covered in many colors, and was slapped in the back by a thin man on a horse, and he shrank in pain, and gasped. Their ranks had been reduced to only eight men by this time, and one man had been shot through the chest with two spears, and blood was spilled all over his body, and before he could get close to us, he was thrown into the river by one of them, but he never got up again. Behind them, a number of natives were jumping off their horses to retrieve the bodies of the freshly dead, whose hands and feet were tied with ropes, and then carried by the men to the horses.

There was a cry from the crowd, but as the spear in the hand of the natives on horseback was drawn, there was a wail.
