Chapter Ninety-Eight: Jungle Counterattack
Although Ji Meiqiu was at the back of the team, the voice of the bandit leader clearly came to his ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 An elder in the info caravan whispered: "Little brother Tianya, the Nine Heavens can't protect you, hurry up and run, you have completed the escort mission." ”
In the past few days, Ji Meiqiu has become familiar with other mercenaries and caravan people. Ji Meiqiu's elegant temperament and generous conversation won everyone's favor, and all the elders knew his name.
Time does not allow them to hesitate, the bandits on the opposite side have already let go of all their momentum, more than 30 bandits, there are seven or eight general-level masters, and the other bandits also have division-level realms. If it is only these bandits, the escort team is not afraid of them, the key is how many bandits there are in secret, no one is sure.
Ji Meiqiu glanced at the nervous Pi Qiu and Guixiong, and the three of them turned around and ran, rushing towards the woods more than a hundred steps behind them.
The purpose of the bandit's shouting was to startle the snake. They also knew that the Nine Heavens were fully prepared for this escort, and if they came by force, the bandits would not have an absolute advantage.
"Archery. The bandit leader saw the three mercenaries running behind him, and knowing that his strategy had worked, he looked up to the sky and laughed triumphantly.
The distance of 100 steps is still in the most powerful range for general-level masters, and for Ji Meiqiu and the others, it is tantamount to a test of life and death.
Ji Meiqiu and the three of them had the intention to escape, so they naturally improved their skills to the extreme, a distance of a hundred steps, a few breaths arrived, and when they came to the edge of the woods, the sound of arrows breaking through the air came harshly, and they had to turn around and pull out the rain of arrows.
There was a "jingle" sound, Ji Meiqiu pulled out all the arrows, but her arm was sore, Gui Xiong was as if nothing happened, the arrows touched his double hammer, and all of them were easily knocked away, and Pi Qiu had the most difficulty coping, and the last arrow finally failed to open and pierced his thigh.
In this rain of arrows, the skills of the three people were all exposed to the bandits: Guixiong has the highest skill, at least at the level of a military general; Ji Meiqiu's skill is second, and he should not be a general; and Pi Qiu's skill is the weakest, and he is definitely not a general.
No one knew that Guixiong was a freak, and in the realm of martial artists, his skills were not half a point weaker than that of military generals.
The bandit leader got the information that the three people of the Qiuxue mercenary group were all martial artists, and seven or eight generals concentrated on shooting, and all of them thought that even if they were not shot on the spot, at least they would lose their ability to act, so the first wave of arrows was fired, and he let out a smug laugh: This time the credit came too easily.
When the bandit leader looked up to the sky and smiled, Ji Meiqiu seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed to Piqiu's side, but he didn't have time to pull out the arrow, Piqiu rose behind his back, and instantly rushed into the mountains and forests behind him.
The laughter of the bandit leader was interrupted by the cronies around him, and the leader was about to lose his temper, when he saw the broken Guixiong burrowing into the mountain forest, he was so angry that he thundered and shouted: "Bastard, don't chase it quickly." ”
Ride quickly to the place where Ji Meiqiu just entered, and it only took a few breaths. This time, the bandits did not need to be ordered by the leader, and all of them jumped off their horses, and with a roar in their mouths, they chased them deep into the woods with their swords.
The caravan and all the escorting mercenaries looked at what happened in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but applaud the reaction of Ji Meiqiu and the others, but the head of the Nine Heavens woke up in the blink of an eye, scolded loudly, and led the caravan to leave in a hurry.
The principal knew in his heart that the bandits had solved Ji Meiqiu and the others, and they would definitely be dealt with when they turned around, and the murderous bandits would definitely not allow witnesses to exist.
The caravan and the Nine Heavens Mercenary Regiment were like chicken blood, passing through Yuping Mountain at the fastest speed, and they didn't dare to rest along the way, taking turns to rest and hurry. To their surprise, this encounter seemed to have changed the bandit's temperament and did not trouble the caravan and the Nine Heavens again.
In fact, they didn't know that this group of bandits could no longer trouble anyone.
When the bandits dismounted and entered the woods, they saw that Ji Meiqiu and Guixiong had climbed the ridge in front of them, and the leader shouted loudly and chased after them.
After turning over several mountains, the bandits behind him were getting closer and closer, and Ji Meiqiu's breathing was getting thicker and thicker, and the skin on his back was getting heavier and heavier.
"Guixiong, running like this is not the way. Ji Meiqiu gasped, pointed to the dense woods in the distance and said, "You take the skin and ask to hide in the woods in front, I will block the people behind, and then you will arrive." ”
Guixiong said anxiously: "Big brother, you run first, and I will stop the enemy." ”
Ji Meiqiu wrenched his face and shouted: "If you dare not listen, don't call me eldest brother in the future." ”
Guixiong said with a bitter face: "Big brother, can't I be obedient? ”
Ji Meiqiu didn't have time to pay attention to Guixiong's pitiful expression, took off the Xuantie bow, and aimed the arrow at the bandit leader who was running at the front, and the phoenix feather arrow broke through the air.
The bandit leader looked at Ji Meiqiu blocking him, and accelerated forward excitedly. The martial artist's arrows posed no threat to him, but he didn't pay attention to the sound of the phoenix feather arrows breaking through the air. When the arrow approached, the leader did not avoid it, but swung his sword at the arrow.
If you dodge and dodge, Ji Meiqiu's goal of blocking the enemy will be achieved, and of course the leader will not let Ji Meiqiu wish, but he didn't expect Zhongzheng Ji Meiqiu's arms.
The big knife latched on the phoenix feather arrow, and a strong force poured into the arm of the bandit leader, and the big knife almost flew out of his hand, but the phoenix feather arrow only deviated slightly, and with a "flutter" sound, it pierced into the left shoulder of the bandit leader.
The huge impact knocked the bandit leader over, and his body rolled down the mountain, where he was helped by his cronies who came later. Unexpectedly, Ji Meiqiu's second arrow arrived again, shooting the bandit who was holding the leader squarely, and he died immediately.
All the bandits who came were stunned, and the general-level masters couldn't resist the opponent's arrow, and for a while, the bandits all stopped.
Shooting two arrows, the aura in Ji Meiqiu's dantian was already exhausted, but he didn't dare to show his cowardice, and calmly took out the third arrow and aimed it at the bandits who were crowded together.
"Come on, whoever catches this little stinky cub, I will promote him to be the second master. The voice of the bandit leader came into Ji Meiqiu's ears, and he smiled proudly: One arrow shot the second master of the bandits, no wonder the remaining bandits were afraid.
At the moment when the thief hesitated, Ji Meiqiu ran the Great Yan Jue with all his might, and failed to restore the aura in the dantian, but his breathing was already stable.
A bandit who made a sword regarded himself as extremely skilled, and after listening to the shouts of the leader, he thought that the throne of the second village lord would be in his hands soon. He didn't want to fall behind the others, so he got up and threw himself at Ji Meiqiu, who was a hundred paces away.
Ji Meiqiu's third arrow went off the string, so that the sword thief had just taken a few steps, and when he saw the arrow coming quickly, he made the same mistake as the leader. He originally thought that the master of the big village and the master of the second village were hit by the arrow because of carelessness, as long as he was careful, the bow and arrow shot by the martial artist would not pose a threat to him.
The skill of the sword thief was poured into his feet, the strength of the long sword in his hand was not enough, his skill was very different from the leader, the long sword and the arrow were connected, and the arrow was only slightly off, and the arrow pierced into his left chest, and he was out of breath on the spot.
Ji Meiqiu's magic skills once again shocked all the bandits. These bandits all looked at each other, and none of them dared to rush forward first.
