In the middle of the night, there was a vibration in the dense forest.
Several big trees fell down a hundred meters behind, birds and animals scattered in the forest, and the quiet forest suddenly became lively.
Ayu, who was standing overhead, whistled, and the sleeping people all woke up, each holding their weapons on guard.
A hundred meters away, as the light of the sword flashed by, a person suddenly screamed: "Ah! My hand!"
A severed arm covered in blood hit Xu Zhen on the face. The blood on his face stimulated his nerves and made him unable to suppress his violent emotions.
Xu Zhen shouted: "You hide your head and show your tail, you are sneaky, how can you be a hero? If you have the ability, come out and fight!"
Following the sound, the master-level true energy dispersed, and the demonic wind blew in the mountains and forests, making a whistling sound.
But what was left to Xu Zhen was only a vague shadow, which disappeared so quickly that it was impossible to tell who it was in the dark night.
Xu Zhen punched out and the ground exploded, leaving a deep crater.
But it was just a deep pit, not even a hair of the enemy was left behind.
This was the most frustrating battle Xu Zhen had ever experienced in his life.
The opponent's movements were strange and he came and went without a trace. Under the cover of darkness, one person had killed seven people in Xu Zhen's team.
A team of twenty people was reduced to half before entering the sea of insects, and there were still a few people left covered with injuries.
If this continues, a team will be eaten up sooner or later.
"Master Xu, is the other party a human or a ghost? Why... why can't you see or touch... what should I do?"
The people under Xu Zhen's command were frightened out of their wits.
They followed the orders of the new Tang Crown Prince and went to Snake Island to track down the whereabouts of the Giant Deer Sword. They thought it would be a simple job to follow the owner of the Hero Manor.
With Xu Zhen's skill, even the leader of the Holy Lotus Sect can easily crush him.
Unexpectedly, only three days into Miao territory, we would encounter such an unmanageable situation.
How do you play this when several people are dead and you can't even tell whether they are humans or ghosts?
Xu Zhen was already very angry. Hearing such words that shook the morale of the army, he wanted to give this man a slap in the face.
"Shut up, the opponent must be a human! It's just that his movement is weird, something I've rarely seen in my life! There's too much cover here, so I can't see my opponent clearly. Go forward, out of this forest, and arrive at the Miao village. I can see that he's still there
Is there any means?"
"ah!"
There was another scream, and another person died.
Everyone's scalp was numb and they quickly moved forward.
Everyone followed Xu Zhen, because the opponent seemed to realize that Xu Zhen was not easy to mess with, and it was safest to follow Xu Zhen.
But, is this really the case?
The opponent was just waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity for Xu Zhen to relax his vigilance out of anger.
The long silence not only brought misunderstandings to others, but also to Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen believed that the reason why the other party did not attack him was because he was a master and his own internal strength had already put enough pressure on the other party.
At this last moment, Xu Zhen naturally focused more on other people.
However, just when Xu Zhen's attention was diverted, the turf on the ground suddenly became loose.
Something was approaching Xu Zhen so fast that the ground shook beneath the feet of the other people.
At the same time, Xu Zhen felt a chill in his body, and an unprecedented pressure enveloped his whole body.
He looked around, but didn't notice any danger or see any movement.
"Everyone, please pay attention and move forward carefully."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhen felt a stinging pain under his feet. When he lowered his head, a black shadow actually came out of the ground.
A short knife with a cold light pierced the calf from the sole of the foot.
This time, no matter how strong Xu Zhen's energy was, he could not withstand the sharpness of the short sword.
Blood spattered, and Xu Zhen could almost feel his muscles being broken down like a butcher.
"court death!"
Xu Zhenbang shouted, and his true energy reached an unprecedented intensity. The surrounding men were accidentally injured by the true energy, and were knocked away like sandbags one by one.
It also includes the sudden appearance of dark shadows.
The black shadow flew out after a blow, fell into the darkness and disappeared again.
But Xu Zhen was already half-crouching on the ground.
A large gash of nearly one meter was made on his left foot from behind along the bone.
The bones of the entire leg can be seen, from the sole of the foot to the thigh!
Xu Zhen felt like half of his life was gone. He couldn't use his legs at all, and big beads of sweat were pouring out one by one.
"If I catch you, you will be cut into pieces! Ah!"
This is a great shame!
Xu Zhen couldn't tolerate such an ending.
But this is far from the end.
The shadow in the darkness appeared again, this time it was facing Xu Zhen head-on, and it was the same bloody dagger, moving very fast, right between Xu Zhen's eyebrows.
There was no cover around Xu Zhen. He wanted to get out of the way, but he kept using his feet and running his energy to prepare for a counterattack.
The pain in his leg stimulated Xu Zhen's nerves, making him unable to gather his energy.
Just as the sword was about to penetrate Xu Zhen's head, a crossbow arrow shot out from the darkness, grazing Xu Zhen's ear and heading towards the black shadow in front of him.
The black shadow reacted quickly and immediately dodged. The crossbow arrow fell into the air and the black shadow disappeared.
"Who?!" Xu Zhen shouted angrily, looking back into the darkness.
Bai Song's laughter came from the darkness: "Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Master Xu. I didn't expect to meet in this way. It's really fate."
"Bai Song?!" Xu Zhen said in surprise.
Bai Song rushed out of the darkness with several Miao people and Uncle Mo, and surrounded Xu Zhen.
At the same time, he also brought two Japanese people with him to serve as human shields at the front and rear.
After the observation just now, Bai Song has determined the origin of the opponent, and he must be a Japanese warrior or ninja.
They had two Japanese people on hand, and Bai Song asked the two Japanese people to pass on the message, saying that they could sit down and talk.
At this moment, the two Japanese people understood Bai Song's intention and kept shouting into the darkness.
Xu Zhen looked at Bai Song, and his words were a little unclear: "You... why did you save me?"
"There is strength in numbers. There are Insect Sea and Snake Island ahead. Even if there are no people from the Holy Lotus Sect, it is extremely dangerous to enter alone. If the village owner can put aside his grudges and cooperate with us, we can consider saving you this time."
How could Xu Zhen have any room to think?
He immediately agreed: "Okay, let's cooperate!"
Bai Song nodded.
The people who wanted to wait are finally here, and all that remains is to convince the Japanese people in the darkness.
This Japanese man is extraordinary. He can make Xu Zhen so embarrassed. After cooperation, he can be used as a big help.
Bai Song smiled and waited silently for the black shadow to appear.
He believed that with the persuasion of two Japanese people, his cooperation plan could be realized.
But just when Bai Song was feeling proud, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the ground, and no one saw how he took action.
After disappearing, the stomach of the Japanese man in front had been broken, and various internal organs were spilled on the ground, but the black shadow disappeared instantly.
In the darkness, the other party left a sentence in standard Chinese: "No prisoner deserves to live in the name of the Emperor."
