Zhizhi...
Two yellow birds hovered in the sky, then swooped toward the convoy below, and finally landed in the hands of Qian Kai.
The two birds are only about the size of a palm, with bulging soybean-sized eyes that look quite agile. There is a wooden cylinder hanging beside the bird's legs, with a red paper flower stuffed in it.
Qian Kai took out the paper flowers, with two numbers 1 and 3 written on them.
"Why are there only one team and the message from Third Squad sent over?"
Qian Kai frowned slightly. The yellow bird in his hand was a messenger bird specially trained by Town Mountain Tower to deliver messages. The red paper flower in it represented safety and security, and the numbers one and three on it represented the first and third transportation teams respectively.
"After all, the distance is different. We may be on our way."
Wang Sanyang on the side said.
"That should be the case, just wait."
Qian Kai nodded slightly, thinking so in his heart.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and it was already dusk.
Apart from the little incident caused by Lin Sheng along the way, there were only a few blind beasts that bit a team member, but they were quickly dealt with. Other than that, there were no other abnormalities.
"Captain Wang Commander, if we leave for another hour, we can rest for a while and let my guards come on duty."
Qian Kai's eyes fell on Wang Sanyang and he spoke lightly. Although he seemed to be asking, his tone was unquestionable.
"It's better to change the guard. After all, Captain Qian, the guards you brought are elite, but they still need some rest."
Wang Sanyang said with a frown.
"No need, this matter is settled, but there is still one night left, this time is nothing to us."
Qian Kai spoke coldly, then turned away, obviously no longer interested in speaking anymore.
Hearing this, Wang Sanyang no longer asked for trouble. He understood that the other party looked down on hunters like them who were from poor backgrounds, so he turned to talk to the captain of the eighth team beside him.
It seemed that something interesting was mentioned, and everyone chuckled from time to time during the conversation.
"Hmph."
Seeing this, Qian Kai just snorted slightly. He really looked down upon these hunters who were hunting for food in the mountains.
Although some old hunters are reasonably strong, they are only targeting wild beasts. Multi-person combat is not about fighting alone, and cooperation between each other is equally important.
Although the guards he brought were not large in number, only a dozen or so, there were eight Body Tempering warriors among them, and the remaining few were also extremely talented and tall and majestic.
They often experience fighting, and their opponents are basically the same type, so they have rich fighting experience with each other, and they can form small battle formations with each other to give full play to their respective advantages.
Therefore, they are the real elites among Town Mountain Tower, and they are also Town Mountain Tower's real opponents of external violence.
After a while, the sun was about to set, the surrounding light became dim, and the sky was filled with clouds at some point, and it looked like it would probably rain.
Behind the team, Lin Sheng looked around from time to time.
Ever since he discovered that someone was spying secretly, he had never relaxed at all.
It's just that nothing happened after so long, which made him have a flash of doubt in his heart.
"Did the people before just pass by?"
This thought came to his mind, but he quickly shook his head in denial.
"No, that person is definitely not passing by. He is obviously spying on them. With such light kung fu skills, why should he be so hidden?"
He was careful and had already made a decision in his heart. Once he found out that Blood Circulation realm warriors really appeared, he would definitely run away without hesitation.
At this moment, Lin Sheng suddenly heard a subtle rustling sound in his ears, like the sound of clothes rubbing against bushes. The source of this sound was the bushes on the left side of the road. Although it seemed to be some distance away from them, he could tell that the rustling sound was getting closer and closer.
"Are you coming?"
He muttered to himself and immediately issued a reminder.
"If possible, be careful on the left side."
His voice was so loud that everyone in the entire convoy could hear it clearly, startling the people who were immersed in their journey.
"What are you doing again?"
Several guards in the team found out that it was Lin Sheng who made the noise again. They immediately frowned and looked over, scolding him unceremoniously.
"Chief Captain Wang, you should take good care of your team members. If..." Qian Kai also frowned and subconsciously said to Wang Sanyang.
However, before he could finish speaking, he heard dense footsteps coming from the bushes on the left. He immediately reacted and shouted loudly.
"Enemy attack!!"
But as soon as he said these two words, the whistling sound of the wind was already coming from the bushes.
The dark crossbow arrows passed through the bushes, making them difficult to detect in the dim light. Before the transport team member on the left could react, they were hit by sharp crossbow arrows.
The powerful force directly penetrated the transport team member's body without losing force, and did not stop until it penetrated one or two people again.
This wave of arrows took away more than a dozen team members.
At this time, everyone just reacted, drew their bows and arrows, and fired back into the bushes.
It's just that they are equipped with ordinary crossbow arrows, which are difficult to parry against the opponent's powerful crossbow. Even if they hide behind the carriage, they can't resist the opponent's powerful crossbow penetration.
"Damn it, how come this bandit has such a thing as a crossbow!!"
Wang Sanyang was also hiding behind. Even though he was a warrior from the Muscle Forging realm world, he did not dare to face this powerful crossbow head-on.
You must know that although Great Yan has always had some control over things like crossbows, there are no excessive requirements for general bows and short crossbows. General forces can basically equip them as long as they spend money to manage them, but things like strong crossbows are different.
Official controls on attitudes toward such powerful ordnance are extremely strict.
Even the leading forces in the county like Town Mountain Tower dare not deploy too much to avoid being held accountable.
How could he not be horrified that this group of robbers actually had such a thing in their hands?
Also in the same mood is Qian Kai.
He couldn't figure out why.
But he knows better that he cannot continue like this, otherwise his losses will become greater and greater.
"The arrow gap of the powerful crossbow is long. When they have time to change arrows, they rush over and fight hand-to-hand, without giving them a chance to shoot again."
Qian Kai quickly thought of a countermeasure and immediately gave orders to everyone.
In the rush to respond to the enemy, I don't know how many people heard it.
Before the opponent launched the attack, Lin Sheng had already pulled Xiao Shi and several others to hide on the right side of the road.
Although the wooden plank tarpaulin of the carriage could not stop the crossbow's attack, it also greatly shortened its speed and was easily dodged.
Because of this, several people were not injured at all under the crossbow.
"It's actually a crossbow!?"
Old Zhou's face turned slightly pale. When he saw the thick crossbow arrow with cold light, his face was full of fear. If Lin Sheng hadn't pulled him and Xiao Shi just now, he wouldn't have had the slightest confidence that he could survive under the powerful crossbow.
"Stand back and fight back, I'll block the crossbow bolts."
Lin Sheng reacted quickly and spoke to the old Zhou He Xiao Shi and others beside him.
At the same time, he took the iron gun from Xiao Shi's hand and raised the tip of the gun to fly away a powerful crossbow that was fired from the gap in the carriage. The strong force made his hand feel heavy.
He immediately understood that even if ordinary people could react, they would not be able to withstand the huge impact of this powerful crossbow.
If this continues, I'm afraid 99% of people will die under this powerful crossbow.
Fortunately, after two waves of crossbow fire, the opposite side fell into a brief calm just as Qian Kai thought. This also gave the transport team time to take a breath.
"Come on me now!!"
Qian Kai shouted loudly, drew out the steel knife and rushed towards the bushes first. The guards behind him also formed a battle formation and followed.
However, the next moment Qian Kai's figure flew back at a faster speed.
It hit hard against a carriage that was riddled with holes, and with a muffled bang, the carriage was directly knocked down by it.
Then there was a rough laugh.
"Go on, leave no one behind!"
The laughter fell, and figures dressed in black were quickly approaching the convoy.
Not only in the bushes on the left, there were figures in black approaching quickly from both sides of the road.
No, more than that, Lin Sheng even heard the same dense footsteps approaching from the right.
They were actually surrounded!!
Lin Sheng looked a little ugly, and even he didn't know when the team was surrounded.
Judging from the dense footsteps and the constant strange laughter, the number of people was probably no less than two hundred.
"Let's go!!"
He was very decisive and immediately gave a low shout and rushed towards the bushes on the right with Xiao Shi and others.
Judging from the footsteps, the right side has the smallest number of people and is the most suitable for breaking out.
Facing an enemy of this size, he had no desire to fight.
Firstly, the opponent has a large number of people, and secondly, there are definitely experts among the opponent.
The Qian Kai just now didn't pass through a single move. It was obvious that the opponent's strength far surpassed his own. It would be hard to say if he left while there was still a chance. It would be difficult to delay any longer.
"What are you doing standing still? Let's go!"
Xiao Shi was stunned in place at this time, as if he was frightened. Although he had hunted Strange Beast on Yangping Mountain several times, this was the first time he saw such a battle. It was not until he was slapped hard on the head by Old Zhou that he realized what he was doing and followed him quickly.
Qian Le and Liu Shunjie were worse than Xiao Shi. Each of them was so scared that their legs were shaking. Fortunately, they were not fools. They quickly reacted and followed Lin Sheng towards the bushes.
At this time, on the road, men in black collided with the hunters, and the collision of weapons was mixed with a series of wails.
Two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked out of the bushes on the left with fists in their hands, with playful smiles on their faces.
"Brother Wang, you were able to solve the problem quickly enough. It seems that the power of this crossbow is really powerful."
The tall man in black was a bald man with bulging muscles and an explosive sense of strength. He looked at the short and thin figure beside him and said with a smile.
"There are still some experts in Town Mountain Tower. I came here to see if there are any unexpected gains to avoid any surprises."
The short and thin figure is only a little over 1.6 meters tall. If she doesn't speak, she looks more like a woman from the body shape.
"It seems that I have disappointed Brother Wang. This group of people are all useless."
The muscular man is called Zheng Tao. Among the leaders of Black Wind Bandits, he is ranked Third Brother. He is the master of late Muscle Forging. Qian Kai was knocked away by his punch just now.
"That's not necessarily true. When I followed and spied on this group of people before, someone was able to discover me. Maybe there was an expert."
The short and thin man Wang Luan spoke calmly, his eyes constantly scanning the battlefield, as if he was looking for his target.
"Oh? There's also this matter. If I can find you, Brother Wang, I do have two brushes. Let me see who you are!"
Zheng Tao had a look of surprise on his face. He was very aware of the abilities of the short and thin man next to him. It was said that he was a killer, and his skills were very good at concealment, and his body skills were very good. He was like a poisonous snake in the dark. Even if he didn't know about it, he might not be able to discover the opponent's concealment method.
And it is also the third-ranked existence among Ten Tigers of Lin'an, which shows how powerful it is.
Wang Luan searched but did not find his target.
However, Zheng Tao soon realized something was wrong, and his eyes fell on the bushes on the right.
"Why haven't the people on the right come over yet?"
In order not to miss anyone alive, he arranged people on all sides. Although there were fewer people on the right, there were still twenty or thirty people. Logically speaking, they should have rushed over at this time.
Hearing Zheng Tao's words, Wang Luan also realized this. He focused his eyes and looked carefully. However, the sky was already dark at this time, and the bushes were complicated. He could not see anything at all. He could only vaguely see figures falling down one after another in the distance.
"Go over and have a look!"
Wang Luan The two made eye contact and immediately rushed forward.
Peng... Peng... Peng...
In the bushes, Lin Sheng led Xiao Shi and several others and rushed straight in one direction.
Although their speed was not slow, the surrounding enemies still discovered that men in black were blocking their way with weapons in their hands.
"It's over!!"
Seeing no fewer than twenty men in black rushing toward him and others, Xiao Shi Old Zhou had despair on their faces.
"Don't let these guys escape, kill them."
One by one, men in black were charging towards them with strange smiles on their lips. The weapons in their hands reflected a bit of cold light under the dim moonlight.
"Fight with them! Even if you die, you will have to drag a few backers with you."
Old Zhou drew out the short knife from his waist, held the knife in one hand and a gun in the other. He gritted his teeth and roared before rushing forward.
But as soon as he took a few steps, he saw several men in black who had looked menacing a second ago trembled, and then fell to the ground, wailing continuously from their mouths.
"This..."
Old Zhou The others were stunned for a moment.
"Don't stand still, just move forward."
Lin Sheng's deep shouts woke up a few people. Only then did they react and immediately rushed forward.
The man in black who rushed towards them was knocked to the ground by Lin Sheng, who shot a few pebbles at him.
With his strength, these hard pebbles can also explode with considerable power in his hands. One blow can knock these men in black out of combat effectiveness. If they hit the vital points, they will die directly.
However, when the man in black saw this, not only did he have no intention of retreating, but he rushed over even faster without fear of death.
Dang Dang Dang!
There was a crisp sound of gold and iron colliding, Lin Sheng The iron gun was raised to hold the two chopped long knives, and with a flip of the wrist, the two men in black had already slashed across their chests before they could react.
The chests of the two men in black were slashed with deep blood, and large streams of blood mixed with broken bones and organs flowed out. They fell to the ground, heaving and twitching, and it was obvious that they would not survive.
