At the critical moment, Shen Yanchu held her hand and aimed an arrow at the skink's chin. The open flame burned quickly, and the skink kept struggling in the firelight.
"Come out." He let go of Liu Ruyan and stood aside.
After all, these people lacked the experience to face the enemy in battle, and the skinks moved quickly, so the crossbowmen frequently missed. Fortunately, they had shields as the second line of defense, so they would not fall short.
After A Lan fired a rocket, he found that all the arrows he had brought with him had been used up. Not only him, but the other crossbowmen also fired a lot of empty arrows in panic, so that all the arrows had been used up early.
Liu Ruyan noticed this, she quickly gave them the arrows in her hand, and glanced towards the end. At this moment, she was only less than a hundred steps away from the stone gate. It seemed like a very short distance, but it was harder than climbing to the sky.
After Shen Yanchu finished dealing with the reptiles in front of him, his brows darkened, and he glanced at the herd of beasts that kept pouring out of the cracks in the rocks: "These skinks have stiff leather armor and are extremely difficult to deal with."
Liu Ruyan nodded slightly, and then heard him whisper: "There should be a way out after the stone gate to the outside world. Let's find a way to escape from here first."
The arrows everyone brought were almost used up. Liu Ruyan looked at the last five arrows in her hand, quickly loaded the arrows, ignited them, pulled the trigger, and fired the rockets in four directions.
As the arrow clusters pierced the sand and gravel, Shen Yanchu immediately took action. With a wave of his palm, four flames suddenly shot up. He forced the beasts back behind the wall of fire at the cost of consuming his own energy.
It was at this time that Liu Ruyan raised her hand and made the last gesture. In the chaos, Bai Zhi and Dong Qingxian saw it and immediately led everyone to evacuate in the direction of Shimen.
Elder Jiang of the Xuantian Sect, who excelled in lightness skills, was the first to cross the stone gate, followed by disciples from the Qingyan Sect, Mingjian Sect and other sects.
When Jin Buhuan passed by Liu Ruyan, he couldn't help but stop and look at her a few more times.
Liu Ruyan was holding the crossbow, with only the last arrow left. Her lips were tight. Seeing Jin Buhuan's delay, she quickly urged: "Hurry up and leave now!"
"Brother Liu." Jin Buhuan saw her back, standing tall like a pine tree in the vast firelight. This scene was deeply burned into his mind. The man's bohemian eyes shone with an inexplicable light. He finally smiled sincerely, "Thanks."
At the same time, the system sounded a prompt again: "Loyalty value is 20, totaling 60. The plot character cannot be exchanged for gold and has successfully returned to our camp."
Correspondingly, "Allies" is displayed at the bottom of the character bar. Judging from the current progress, everything is going smoothly.
After Jin Buhuan left, there were only a few people left in the long and narrow alley.
The Tufuzi's kung fu was mediocre and he could only run as fast as he could. Miss Qiushi was withdrawn and was alone at the moment, running behind the Tufuzi.
After all, Shen Yanchu had not healed from his old injuries. For a time, his true energy was sluggish and he was gradually defeated. The two brothers Ling Yun and Ling Feng arrived in time and said to him: "Once the stone gate falls, the beasts can be blocked out. It's not too late. Let’s get out of here quickly.”
Shen Yanchu nodded slightly. When he saw Liu Ruyan still standing still, his brows furrowed slightly: "What are you still doing?"
Liu Ruyan stared in the direction of Qiu Shi and said without looking back: "Devil, you go in first."
"Lord," Ling Yun couldn't help but urge.
Shen Yanchu nodded calmly and walked towards the stone gate with his two subordinates.
Qiushi was already at the back, and the scene just now was so chaotic that no one noticed that there was another girl in danger.
In the passage, as the fish oil gradually burned out and the open fire was almost extinguished, the beasts that had just been forced to retreat became restless again, and a skink opened its mouth full of fangs and pounced on Qiu Shi.
Amidst the falling gravel, Qiu Shi tapped her toes and leaped into the air, narrowly avoiding its claws. The skink jumped in the air, climbed up the rock wall, and then bit her on the back of the neck.
Qiushi turned pale and dodged away. She continued to use the Light Body Technique and rushed towards the stone gate. Behind her, the skink chased her like crazy until she heard a shout from the front.
.
"Get out of the way!" Liu Ruyan shouted, her bright eyes half-opened, staring at the two figures shrouded in darkness.
Qiu Shi understood immediately. She turned her body, revealing the skink flying from behind.
The skink opened its huge mouth, and Liu Ruyan could even see its jagged fangs clearly, and she stood motionless in front of the giant beast with a steady gaze, just like countless nights when she stood in the school grounds, raising her hand
Crossbow, pull the trigger, aim and shoot over and over again.
The index finger moved slightly, and the flying arrow shot out with a cluster of firelight, piercing the skink's mouth!
The blood splashed suddenly, instantly dyeing her clothes red. Before there were any reptiles chasing her, Liu Ruyan immediately abandoned her crossbow, took Qiu Shi's hand and ran towards the end of the road.
"I'll take you away." She held Qiu Shi's hand and said without looking back.
"I, Qiu Siniang, don't like to accept other people's favor, let alone say thank you!" Qiu Shi swept away the blood on Liu Ruyan's chest and spoke coldly.
Liu Ruyan frowned, how long had it been since she had made trouble for her: "The worst thing is, I won't let you commit yourself to me."
"You're a little girl, always trying to take advantage of me!"
They were running all the way, and the stone gate was getting closer and closer. Inside was a huge stone cave, and various murals could be vaguely seen. Everyone was hiding in the cave, staring nervously at the beasts in the alley, with their swords in their hands not moving for a moment.
Dare to let go.
"Coming, coming, they're coming again!"
Ah Lan was also frightened to death and shouted: "Who has any arrows? Hurry, shoot!"
The crossbowmen looked at each other in confusion. In desperation, Bai Zhi grabbed a bunch of torches and rushed out.
"You're crazy!" A swordsman held him back, running out now but risking his death in vain.
Bai Zhi couldn't break free, so she simply threw the torch in her hand and shouted: "Ruyan, follow on!"
The torch passed through the air and scattered countless sparks, which immediately illuminated the stone alley. Everyone saw with numbness that the alley was filled with dense reptiles, and the scales reflected a strange light.
Dong Qingxian was also frightened. He saw Liu Ruyan grabbing a woman in red and running as fast as she could in the alley. Not far behind them, a skink suddenly jumped out. Dong Qingxian didn't dare to think about it carefully and knocked it away.
The person in front of me ran towards the door.
At this moment, there was a loud roar in my ears, and the stone door closed downwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dong Qingxian turned his head and saw Elder Jiang standing behind the door, his palm pressed against the mechanism, and he said gloomily: "If those beasts come in, we will all die."
"But Miss Liu is still outside!" Ah Lan shouted loudly, with a very anxious look on his face.
"At this time, do you still care about others?" Elder Jiang sneered.
In the stone alley, as soon as Liu Ruyan caught the torch, she noticed that the stone gate was gradually sinking, but Qiu Shi curled her lips and smiled in her ear: "You know, reptiles can't stand the slightest bit of blood smell after being hungry for a long time, guess what?
, what am I going to do now?”
Before Liu Ruyan could react, Qiu Shi broke away from her hand, then turned it around, held her wrist, pushed and released Liu Ruyan.
Behind Liu Ruyan was a hungry beast.
"I don't want to die so early, so I have no choice but to wrong you!" Qiu Shi said, rushing into the stone door that had not yet been closed.
