009 Return(1/2)
Someone is attacking!
Zhou Jing's spirit was highly concentrated in an instant, and the speed of dozens of arrows seemed to slow down, and the flight path of each arrow became clearly visible.
Sharp bone arrow clusters, pitch black arrow shafts, trembling tail feathers...
Damn it, I'm injured, my movements can't keep up with my thinking!
It was too late to escape from the range of the arrows. Zhou Jing could only drag his injured and weak body and try his best to hide towards the area with the fewest arrows. At the same time, he drew out his hunting knife and dagger, trying to block the incoming arrows.
Dang! Dang! Puff-puff-puff——
The arrows aimed at the neck and legs were narrowly missed, but three more arrows broke through the knife's perimeter, and with a burst of flesh-piercing sounds, the sharp bone arrowheads pierced into the body.
First there was a chill, followed by severe pain, and Zhou Jing almost lost strength.
Although this body's physical strength is good, it is not enough to support him in instantly blocking five arrows shot at the same time, not to mention that he was injured before.
My own weapon mastery of hunting knives and daggers is only at the entry level for beginners. Although the feel is not unfamiliar, it is not enough to complete more difficult operations.
With one weapon in each hand and accurately deflecting two bone arrows, it was already a display of high concentration.
At the same time, the sound of arrows hitting was also heard from all around, mixed with the screams of pain from two or three hunters.
"Sneak attack! It's the Earth Bone Man!"
"When did they come?!"
In the shadowy forest, groups of earth-skeleton men appeared in the darkness of night. They could only sweep away at least fifty people. They held black short bows in their hands and kept raining down arrows.
This group of earth-skeleton people... seems to be the same group that was defeated by the night attack a few days ago.
Everyone recognized the origin of this group of earth-skeleton people and were shocked and angry.
At this time!
There must have been too much noise from the hunting just now. The fire shone far away and the roar resounded through the forest, attracting the Earth Bone Man wandering nearby.
It is also possible that this group of earth-skeleton people has been quietly following us, looking for an opportunity, keeping a distance so as not to be discovered. They noticed that we were fighting alien beasts from a distance, and then waited for both sides to be harmed, and then launched a brazen attack to take advantage of the situation!
The existence of the white spider monster is also a threat to the earth-skeleton people living in the forest... This group of earth-skeleton people deliberately waited for us to deal with the white spider monster and remove the threat to them before they chose to take action!
"A bunch of mean little beasts!"
The crowd was burning with anger.
A few days ago, the hunters were not timid at all, but they had just hunted the white spider monster and sacrificed three of their companions. The remaining people were exhausted, each had injuries, and was in poor condition. And Ba, who was the most seriously injured,
Long, he said he was fine, but in fact he was almost exhausted.
Whoosh whoosh!
The arrow rain attack was too sudden, and everyone was caught off guard when handling the trophies. A total of four hunters, including Balon, were hit by arrows, and the most one person was hit by seven arrows.
Only the other three people survived because they stood farther away.
"Escape into the woods!!" Baron shouted.
In order to dig underground traps and rain down arrows on strange beasts, they deliberately chose a relatively empty area with less dense trees, but now it became their disadvantage.
Only by escaping into the forest can we use a large number of trees as cover to block the Earth Bone Man's arrow rain.
They didn't even care about the trophies and the corpses of their companions, so they ran away.
The two hunters who were hit by the most arrows were too seriously injured to run. They were hit in the back by the next wave of arrows and fell to the ground, drowned by the swarming Earth Bone Men.
Three arrows were inserted into Zhou Jing's body, causing bone-chilling pain every step he took.
He suddenly noticed the whistling of arrows from behind, gritted his teeth and threw himself aside.
Duh duh duh!
Seven or eight arrows were immediately inserted into the ground where it was originally.
In the process of dodging, he felt pain in his back and shoulder blades, and was hit by two arrows. The pain made him gasp.
After being blocked by a hail of arrows, when Zhou Jing got up from the ground, the Earth Bone Man who was at the front was already approaching and stabbed out with a bone knife, straight to his heart.
Zhou Jing endured the severe pain and loss of strength and fought with two swords.
Bang!
The hunting knife and dagger intertwined, jamming the bone knife that was being stabbed.
Then he raised his left hand and swung it, and the dagger instantly wiped away the earth-skeleton man's neck without any hesitation.
Blood spurts out!
Even if he is injured, his physical strength is still much stronger than these skinny earth-skeleton people.
Although the Earth Bone Man is a human construct, Zhou Jing did not hesitate at all.
When I was hunting exotic animals just now, it was as if a switch in my heart had been turned on, as if the constraints of a stable life had been released, and a breath of bad breath swelled in my chest.
Zhou Jing's hunting knife in his right hand went straight into the earth-skeleton man's eye socket, and the last knife penetrated the enemy's head.
Poof!
He drew out his sword, bringing out a line of blood mixed with white liquid, and watched expressionlessly as the Earth Bone Man in front of him spurted blood and fell to the ground.
But even if he killed the enemy instantly, his steps stopped for a moment.
In his field of vision, the earth-skeleton man fell down, revealing three or four earth-skeleton men behind him, as well as more earth-skeleton men chasing after him.
'You can't turn around, you will be stabbed to death if you turn around...'
Zhou Jing understood the situation in an instant, and while retreating, he clenched his two swords and prepared to face more Earth Skeletons head-on.
At this moment, a strong gust of wind roared past.
call!
Baron's huge ax was seen spinning out and slamming into the Earth Bone Man team with overwhelming force.
Bang bang bang——
The few Earth Skeletons at the front were unable to dodge and were smashed to the ground.
For a time, broken limbs and broken arms were flying all over the sky!
The performance is not obvious when fighting alien beasts, but when attacking mortals, the crushing power of the alien-blood warrior against mortals is revealed.
"Let's go!"
Not far away, Baron shouted towards Zhou Jing.
The physical strength of the alien-blood warriors far exceeded those of ordinary people. Balon was the most seriously injured, but he was still the fastest. He ran to the front, but when he turned around and saw his companions in danger, he stopped and threw his weapon without hesitation.
It's a pity that we only had time to resolve Zhou Jing's danger.
But Baron threw the weapon with all his strength, causing injuries all over his body. His physical condition further deteriorated, and he almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Grif and another hunter who happened to run up to him grabbed his arms and dragged him away.
The few Earth Bone Men at the front were smashed into rotten flesh, while the Earth Bone Men at the back were frightened and stopped in their tracks.
Zhou Jing did not dare to hesitate for a moment and took advantage of the opportunity created by Balon to turn around and run away.
Only a few seconds before the next wave of arrows from the Earth Bone Man arrived, he finally rushed into the forest with the surviving hunters.
Duh duh duh - dense arrows were nailed to the tree they just ran past.
With the cover of trees, the threat of the Earth Bone Man's arrow rain is greatly reduced.
Zhou Jing followed Baron and the others and ran wildly in the forest. He ran for who knows how long. The shouts behind him gradually faded away. It seemed that the Earth Bone Man finally gave up the pursuit and went back to search for loot.
But no one dared to stop and rest. They treated their wounds urgently, then held on to their exhausted bodies and continued to run away.
After running for a while and confirming that the Earth Bone Man was not chasing after them, everyone finally stopped. They were all looking ashen and miserable.
"Is... is it safe?"
Grif gasped violently.
Zhou Jing was also panting rapidly, and the wounds on his body were painful and itchy. The injuries severely reduced his physical strength.
Baron fell to the ground, coughed violently, and spit out bloody droplets.
His weapon had been thrown out, obviously unable to be recovered, and now his hands were empty.
"These Earth Skeletons are despicable and shameless! Sooner or later we will destroy them and burn their lair to the ground!"
Grif punched the tree trunk bitterly, his face filled with grief and anger.
With the loss of two more companions, only half of the hunter team was left, which was a heavy loss.
"Ahem... Let's talk about this later." Baron couldn't stop coughing and felt weak. He pointed at Zhou Jing and said intermittently: "Thanks to you this time, you saved us."
"Didn't you save me?" Zhou Jing gasped, a little confused.
If Balon hadn't thrown an ax to force the Earth Bone Man back, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
Grif took a deep breath and explained: "We originally wanted to use delaying tactics to kill the white spider monster, but if the Earth Bone Man attacks, we will be attacked from both front and back before we can deal with the alien beast.
We're dead... Fortunately, you killed the white spider monster in advance, otherwise none of us might survive."
To be continued...
