Hai Wan squinted for a while to regain some strength.
The more dangerous the time, the more one needed to seize the opportunity to rest, this was the experience left behind by generations of sailors.
“Chief.”
Hai Yuantou, who had returned from his reconnaissance, said in a low voice, “The enemy is transferring their troops, it looks like they are not prepared to continue to test the waters, and have already locked onto the area we are in.”
He looked to the Echidna Rabbit in his arms and said, “It’s a good thing we brought this guy with us, otherwise we’d have to suffer a lot of losses in scouting, their scouts have some skills.”
Hai Wan nodded and looked to Hunting Sinker, who was polishing his bow and longsword to the side, “How many consumables are left?”
“There are still two jars of anaesthetic juice left, capable of creating a local anaesthetic effect, but it’s hard to really stop them.”
Hunt Sink sheathed his longsword back, “The Stinking Pill of the Stinking Phoenix Butterfly can also be ignited and used, but it won’t last either.”
“There are still 32 arrows left.”
“The others are gone.”
Hai Wan said, “Listen to me. You guys take the Echidna rabbits and escape to the north, split the arrows in half with me and I’ll lead them to the south.”
“Give me both the stink pills and the anaesthetic juice.”
“We’ll rendezvous back on the northern continent.”
Both young men couldn’t help but want to petition.
“That’s an order!”
Hai Wan interrupted them, “Tell the Prophets of Yao City and Salt City truthfully what you have seen here. They will give follow-up arrangements.”
“I got out in one piece at the Dragon’s Nest, these people are nothing to me.”He had a confident look on his face.
Hai Yuan hesitated, “Chief, of course we trust you. Look, you don’t have much use for the Stink Pill and Anaesthetic Juice, so why don’t you give us ……”
Hunt Shen also chimed in, “Indeed. With your bargaining skills as the headmaster, even if the language doesn’t make sense to the other party, there’s no need for weapons at all. Just give us the bow and arrows, we can save a little, we need weapons to save our lives.”
Hai Wan froze for a moment and blasted the two young men in the head, “You two bast*rds, do you want me to die? Have I ever docked your salary? Have I ever asked you to die? Ah! One by one, you give me this hand at the critical moment, right!”
All three of them couldn’t help but laugh.
Hunt and Sink and Hai Yuan picked up their travelling bags.
“Then, chief, see you in the northern continent. We’ll wait for you to go drink honey wine together, of course, your treat.”
“Get lost.”
Hai Wan waved his hand.
Sending away the two young men, he then pulled open his trousers, the arrow wound on the knee of his right leg had festered, even bandages and herbs could no longer ease the injury.
On the contrary, the arrow in his knee made him not be able to walk fast at all, but would instead drag the other two down.
Hai Wan sighed and could only say that the luck was not very good.
Discovering a new continent and finding a brand new transcendent creature, the Sand Lizard, but the result was to be surrounded by a group of chaotic troops in armour ……
He suddenly remembered the days of his youth when he was studying at the seminary.
At that time, he listened to the scholars’ lectures every day, discussing the hard and brown pastry of the seminary, and started a pilgrimage in the company of a few close friends. Memories from many years ago came to him for no apparent reason.
At that moment, Hunt and Sink and Hai Yuan ran back again.
Hai Wan felt a warmth in his heart, these little brats were still heavy-hearted.
He kept his face serious: “Don’t get out yet!”
“It’s not that we don’t want to leave.”
“It’s that we can’t leave, chief, the outside is already surrounded.”
The two young men looked bitter.
Hai Wan gritted his teeth and said, “Then we’ll fight them!”
Just then, the enemy men surrounded from all sides.
They were all dressed in lockjaw armour, holding shields and spears, and there were even sand lizards carrying heavy crossbows, completely enclosing this part of the hill.
The enemy numbered two to three hundred, and there were scouts and rangers on horseback on the flanks, so it was impossible to break through after the formation was drawn out.
Hai Wan’s three men held bows and arrows and shot towards the enemy actively.
Unfortunately, the bows and arrows could not penetrate the armour and could not form effective damage, and the pace of the imperial soldiers’ advance was completely unaffected.
Seeing that the enemy’s spears were getting closer and closer, Hai Wan pulled out his longsword with a shine, “North Sea Adventure Corps, follow me and attack!”
The three of them were about to launch a charge when a blazing fire suddenly started in the enemy camp, and there was a commotion. The fire spread all the way, tearing out a long unmanned path directly from the enemy’s military formation.
A dry and thin old man with thinning hair stood in front of the imperial army.
He was dressed in a thin linen robe, his bandaged right hand facing forward, palm upwards, and white gas rising from his body.
The old man gazed ahead and slowly said, “Salt City Salt Long, please instruct me.”
The soldiers froze for a moment, then the archers and crossbows simultaneously opened fire on the eccentric old man.
Salt久 was ablaze with flames, trailing a fiery red figure as he tumbled through the enemy army, and wherever he went soldiers were sent flying in all directions, wreathed in flames.
Seeing this, the enemy army drove their sand lizards towards him.
As a result, the huge sand lizard was pushed to the ground by the old man’s arms, and his metal right arm choked its throat. The lizard struggled desperately, and its limbs and body twisted wildly, stirring up a field of debris and sand.
It wasn’t long before the iguana collapsed and stopped moving.
The old man coldly looked at the other lizards.
One by one, the remaining sand lizards were so scared that they turned their heads and ran wildly, and these heavy beasts overturned the soldiers along the way and disappeared from view.
The soldiers behind them shot arrows frantically, but the arrows fell on the old man’s body and were swallowed by the flames, completely unable to hurt a hair on his head.
The old man was like a god of fire descending into the world, wherever he went no one was able to defeat him, those who dared to wield their swords against him were burnt to a crisp.
Seeing this scene, Hai Wan froze for a moment, then immediately rejoiced wildly, ”Reinforcements have arrived! Grand Cultivator Mr Saltjou himself has come! It’s safe, it’s safe!”
The other two young men were looking at the tiger entering the sheep’s flock, Saltjou, their lips slightly parted, their faces filled with reverence.
“A martial cultivator’s power can actually reach this point, using flames as a weapon.”
“Shiohisa-san alone can fight these hundreds of people …… I’m afraid it’s not even close to the Apostle adults.”
“I shouldn’t be an adventurer, I should have gone to practice.”
“I also think it’s time to change careers …….”
At that moment, a Fighting Shovel Armour descended from the sky and blocked the two arrows flying towards the three adventurers with its hard shell.
Tie Sai, who was carrying a drawing board, and Medicine Put, the ghost healer, also ran all the way over.
Medicine Put took off her jacket, revealing the brass Ghost Armour inside, and punched a spearman. Her punches and kicks were fierce and wide-open, and her combat healer’s style was evident.
After the Dragon’s Nest pilgrimage trip, Tie Sai and Hai Wan reunited with their classmates after many years, and both of them had a sigh of relief.
Hai Wan’s smile was a bit awkward, “I haven’t seen you for many years, and as a result, I let you see the humiliating side as soon as I came here.”
“It’s good that it’s okay, it’s time to go home.”Tiese smiled as he looked to the side.
In the helmet that the Ghost Armour lifted up, a valiant female face emerged, a clean and pure smile on her face. Medicine Put was truly enjoying the battle.
Tie Sai looked dumbfounded for a moment.
Innocence and ferocity, slenderness and fierceness, innocence and fury, beauty and wildness.
All sorts of strange elements converged on this ghost lady, fascinating him.
……
The battle ended quickly.
Shiohisa alone crushed this army head-on, leaving the enemy army more than half dead. He also captured a sand lizard, a transcendent creature that was honest and obedient in the face of a powerful human.
In addition he captured several living prisoners.
Tiese compared with them and finally extracted a bit of information from them.
The three corpses were hung on a newly constructed spike to show off the imperial force. The location was still the same, right where the camp was before.
Learning that the group of horrible humans were actually bringing back the corpses, the captive soldiers could not understand one another.
They thought that corpses were just corpses, they were just rotten meat, was it worth attacking the army for corpses? It was no surprise that they ate corpses when there was a shortage of food.
This reason confused them.
It wasn’t until they saw the horrible old man who could start fires rush into the camp and return carrying corpses that they were sure that these people had come for real.
After being released, the soldiers ran back to the army and told their officers about this odd and peculiar incident. An army had been routed and annihilated because of three corpses ……
The officer listened in silence and gave a wink to the guard next to him.
The group of deserters were then arrested and executed on the spot for treason and rumour mongering to disturb the army.
……
Lu Yao was paying close attention to the battlefield.
A reminder suddenly popped up in the simulator.
