Chapter 1: Attacked

Next Chapter

The Forest of Hope is huge, with tall trees growing in a staggered manner, shaking, and shining green with their leaves.

On a small road in the forest, a group of people wearing different colors of clothes drove dozens of cars to walk slowly. The cart had the game they had hunted, as well as the food they had brought with them. There were some young men, who would run back and forth from time to time, making a few innocuous jokes.

When they arrived at a place, the group stopped, and then divided into five groups. One of them stayed to watch the car, and the other four were people in the same color. Obviously, the group left behind was arranged by four groups of people to stay.

One of them, dressed in yellow, consisted of dozens of adults and four teenagers, who headed northwest. Each of them carried a bow and a pot of arrows, and each of them had a long sword in his hand, and a dozen of them carried a large shield on their backs.

Some of the teenagers kept running back and forth, and the adults around them would call them together from time to time to explain some things in the forest. Occasionally, when they encounter an animal, the boys will rush to shoot the arrows in their hands.

At noon, they arranged for people to guard the surroundings. Then they skinned a grizzly bear and prepared to roast the meat to eat. Suddenly, a piercing scream was heard, the sound of wolf smoke being fired, and they knew that it was one of the four groups of people who had been attacked. The attack here was beyond everyone's expectations, because this is the depths of the Forest of Hope, and no one usually comes here to attack. But everyone was well trained, so they all drew their swords and prepared to rush to the place where they were attacked.

At this moment, there was a bird's cry around, and everyone knew that it was a warning from the person in charge of the guard. Everyone stopped to look around, and then, they heard the sound of "whooshing" footsteps, which was very dense, and it felt that there were no less than 100 people around. At this time, everyone heard the sound of "bang" falling to the ground, and everyone turned their heads to see that the person who had just made the bird call had been injured, and an arrow was stuck in his body and fell from the tree.

"Attack," shouted one of them, a man in his thirties, with a long and broad, dignified appearance, who looked like the leader of the group, "defense." ”

At this time, more than a dozen adults with shields immediately took out their shields to protect everyone, but there were already arrows shot over, and in an instant, five people fell to the ground with arrows.

The leader saw it and knew that it would not work, there were many enemies, so he had to break through. So he shouted loudly: "The enemy is strong, break through, everyone, break through to the southeast." ”

The southeast direction was actually the direction where the carriage was reserved for four groups, so a group of people began to run in the southeast direction. Several adults held their shields at the head, a few others behind them with shields, and the leader led four teenagers in the middle, with other adults on either side to protect them.

There were arrows shooting down all around, and people in the crowd kept falling, and those who fell would be shot by the arrows again and killed.

The boys were dumbfounded, they had never experienced this kind of battle, they only knew how to run forward with the others. The leader kept using the sword in his hand to remove the arrows that were being shot, and he kept shouting for everyone to run forward.

After running for about fifty feet, I saw more than a dozen gray-clothed men shooting arrows in front of me. Each of the men in gray was masked with a black cloth, and it was impossible to tell who it was. A few adults in front rushed into the enemy's group, followed by the leader with several teenagers. By this time, there were fewer arrows flying, but more people were killed by hand-to-hand combat.

All the teenagers also ran over, although this was the first time they had seen this kind of battle, but they knew that if they didn't fight, they would definitely not survive. Therefore, although all the young people were still afraid to die, they all developed their swordsmanship and fought with the gray-clothed man.

After the leader cut down a few people, he saw the man in gray chasing after him. Hurriedly rushed over and stabbed a young man's opponent to death, and then shouted: "Don't fight, run." ”

There were some adults who stayed behind and held off the enemy. The others avoided the enemy and continued to run southeast. The group ran out of the enemy's encirclement, and there were only a dozen people left. One of the teenagers was shot dead, and the others are still there.

Running like this, you can still hear the sound of wolf smoke from time to time. They knew that all four groups of people had been attacked, and now they just wanted the convoy to be okay.

After running for a quarter of an hour, dozens of arrows suddenly came from the front, and five more people fell from the arrows. If someone hadn't blocked the arrows with their swords and bodies, I'm afraid the three teenagers would have died.

The leader shouted: "There is an enemy in the direction of the convoy, scatter and run, run home, and tell the family that we have been attacked." Then he grabbed a young man's hand and ran northeast. The rest of the people were also separated, and the other two teenagers were grabbed by two adults and ran together.

The leader took the young man with him, and not long after he ran, two men in gray rushed from the side, very fast, both of them wearing black veils. By this time, the bow and arrow in the hands of the leader and the young man had been thrown away. And the other party has no bows and arrows on him, so it seems that he must fight in close combat.

The leader felt the speed of the other party, knew that this was a master, and whispered to the young man: "After a while, I will rush up, stop the two of them, you run." Remember, you must persist in your life, and remember to avenge us when the time comes. ”

Before the boy could reply, the leader rushed forward and struck one of them at one of the medium-sized men, and the other was a tall man. The tall man saw that the man of medium stature was blocking the other and rushed towards the boy.

But the leader suddenly turned around and stabbed the tall man with his sword. The medium-sized man shouted, "Be careful!" The tall man didn't expect the other party to rush over, and when he heard the "be careful" behind him, he turned his head, and the other man's sword slid past his face, cutting the veil on his face.

When the leader saw it, he was taken aback: "Zheng Wenhe, it's you." "The leader knows this Zheng Wenhe, and Zheng Wenhe alone is not something he can deal with. But there was a gray-clothed man who was similar to Zheng Wenhe in the back, and the leader knew that if he fought normally, he would lose.

Zheng Wenhe saw that the other party recognized him, and he didn't speak, but stabbed the other party with a sword. At the same time, the gray-clothed man behind also rushed over, stabbing with his sword.

The leader sensed the attack from both sides, and knew he had to make a choice, or he and the boy would die. So he dodged the sword behind him, and then quickly stepped back.

The gray-clothed man behind saw that the other party was retreating towards him, and the long sword was too late to be withdrawn, so he slapped his palm at the other party. But the leader did not dodge, and the sword in his hand was thrust backwards. The man in gray was stunned when he saw it, and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. The sword pierced through his left chest, and he died before he could scream. His palm, in the end, did not take a slap.

Zheng Wenhe was shocked to see his own people dead. But his own sword momentum was already old, and he didn't get to adjust his posture, so he rushed up again.

When the leader saw it, he shouted: "Feng'er, run quickly, tell the family that it is the Zheng family of Mingqin City." ”

The boy hesitated for a moment, he didn't know whether he should run or rush to fight hard.

When Zheng Wenhe heard this, he was anxious and stepped up his attack, he knew that he had to kill this person before he could kill that young man. The leader continued to shout while desperately: "Run quickly, if you don't run, you won't have a chance." Go back and tell the family, the Zheng family in Mingqin City will definitely not dare to fight us, they should have other tricks, you go back and tell the family, let them be careful. ”

The young man shouted loudly: "Third uncle, leave me alone, you run quickly." ”

"Silly boy, I can't run, if no one stops him, how can I run. Run, while I can still hold him off. ”

The young man thought about it, what the third uncle said was right, but if he ran away, what would the third uncle do. "Third uncle, if I run away, what will you do?"

"Feng'er run, I'll find a way if you run, run!" The third uncle's words were already roared.

When the young man heard the roar of the third uncle, he knew that he had to run, otherwise he would live up to the third uncle's wishes, so he ran in one direction quickly.

The young man didn't care about the battle situation behind him, he just started his body and kept running. He didn't know how long he had been running, and he couldn't remember the direction. He has been thinking about his third uncle in his heart, but he has no choice but to keep running.

When it got dark, he couldn't run. So he climbed to a tree, found a branch, and prepared to rest for a while before running. Fortunately, the dry food was still there, and since they were out hunting, they always had some dry food with them, so as not to go hungry, so even if there was no game, they would not be hungry. He ate a little dry food, and then fell asleep.

This young man's name is Nangong Feng, and he is a member of the Nangong family in Dangyang City, and his father is the contemporary head of the Nangong family. The other three groups of people are the other three families in Dangyang City. This time, the four major families brought a group of teenagers to the forest to hunt, and by the way, they taught these teenagers some fighting and survival skills in the wild. Nangong Feng is twelve years old this year and is one of these teenagers.

Nangong Feng was about to take a short break and leave, but he woke up suddenly and saw that it was already dawn. I'm still on that branch, and it seems that I'm not moving. But he was going to rest for a while and leave, but he didn't expect to fall asleep, and he slept all night. He knew he had never run so far, so he was tired and slept for so long. Fortunately, no one found him.

He didn't know what happened to his third uncle, but it looked like he had to go home first before he could know.

He quietly descended from the tree, ate some more dry food, and licked some dew in the bushes beside him. Recognize the direction, he ran too far yesterday, and he can't remember where he is, but he knows that the forest is just east of Dangyang City, so as long as he runs west, he will definitely be able to get out of the forest. When you get out of the forest, it's easy to go home.

He made his way and ran west. Running to a mountain pass, he saw two mountains, not very high, there were no trees on the mountains, they looked bare, but there was a valley between the two mountains, and he ran fast to the valley, trying to pass through the valley.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting, which came from the valley. He didn't know who was fighting, but he knew that he couldn't help if he went, so it was better to stay away. So he ran towards a mountain where there was no sound, ready to climb over the mountain and move on.

But when he climbed to the top of the mountain, he saw a fight he could not imagine.

Two men, one a young man with a burden on his back, stepped on the sword, and the other an old man, also stepped on the sword. Both of them were flying in the air, and two weapons were flying around colliding with each other when no one was holding them.

Among them, the young man had an earthy brown ball on his body that could see through it, and there seemed to be a trace of red light on the ball. From time to time, the young man sent out a series of fireballs towards the old man. And beside the old man, there is also an earthy brown ball that can be seen through. From time to time, pieces of ice arrows were sent out in his hands, shooting towards the young man.

Nangong Feng understood that since people could fly, they must have flown here from the valley fighting, and he had been climbing the mountain without paying attention, but he didn't expect to bump into it. Although he didn't know what was going on, Nangong Feng knew that he had met a cultivator, otherwise there would be no flying weapons, no ice arrows and fireballs, and no flying people. Nangong Feng didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only hide aside.

Suddenly, he heard a little movement, and unconsciously, he ran out of front of him, but he already felt the left side of his back being pierced by a weapon. Although it didn't stab deeply due to his sudden escape, it made him feel pain like a bone. The pain in his heart made him unable to control his body, and he slid down the mountain all at once.

Before sliding down, he glanced back, it was that Zheng Wenhe.
