Chapter 138 The brave Mirror Immortal who is not afraid of death [three-in-one]
Snowmane will play dead, and look very much like it.
This is nothing new.
Xia Hong really didn't expect that the hundreds of barbs on his back could be fired out.
Dong Dong Dong…………
The ground was trembling under the feet of the hastily escaping Snow Manes. Behind them, among the snowflakes flying in the sky, were the figures of Xia Hong's twelve men who were chasing after them.
"It seems that the barbs on its back are its special skill. Fortunately, today I mainly use a bow, so this can be considered an accident!"
While he was chasing after him quickly, Xia Hong turned his head and glanced at the wound on his shoulder, with a trace of happiness in his eyes.
If it weren't for his lack of strength, he wouldn't have let the other fifteen people hide in the surrounding trees and hunt Snowmane with bows and arrows.
Thinking about it on the other hand, if everyone was relatively strong and not afraid of confronting Snowmane head-on, and adopted the method of a close siege with more than a dozen people, then Snowmane would not have waited until the end to do this.
He was so far away just now, and he led everyone to jump off the tree in advance, but his shoulder was still scratched by a barb shot by Snowmane, leaving a wound as big as a slap.
"Why are there three people missing?"
Xia Hong turned around to see how injured the others were, but when he saw there were only eight people following him, he immediately asked.
Zhu Shun and Zou Yuankai were injured. He left Qiu Peng and Ying Xuan to take care of them. There should be eleven people following him now, not only eight.
Xia Chuan replied with a hint of breath: "Zhao Long and the others were worried that we would have no use for arrows, so they stayed there to collect their arrows. They should follow soon."
Xia Hong nodded when he heard this, with a hint of approval in his eyes.
They were now chasing Snowmane, and indeed they only had bows on their backs, no arrows.
Just after hunting Snowmane, the fifteen of them shot all the arrows. Although most of them were still stuck in Snowmane's body, there were also quite a few on the ground.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...
"Chief, it's slowing down!"
The sound of Xuezong's footsteps changed, and Luo Yuan immediately spoke to remind him.
Xia Hong looked up and saw Xuezong running away. His figure began to stagger, and he was no longer in the running state before, and his face suddenly showed joy.
"Let's go slower, just hang behind it, be more secure, don't get close to us, and wait for Zhao Long and the others to send arrows over."
Although she was 90% sure, Snowmane was at the end of her rope.
But the previous scene still shocked Xia Hong. God knows if Xuemane has any other life-saving trump cards or tricks?
It’s better to be cautious!
Although Xia Hong thought so in his heart, seeing Xue Zong continuing to move forward, he raised his head and glanced ahead, with a trace of worry on his face.
Snowmane escaped just now, heading west, deeper into Redwood Ridge.
In just a short time, it had led him and others about three kilometers inside. These three kilometers did not start from the outside.
Counting the previous one kilometer, now the nine of us have reached approximately four or five kilometers of Redwood Ridge.
"We can't go in any further, otherwise we'll attract other cold beasts!"
At this moment, not only Xia Hong, but also several others discovered that the surrounding environment was completely unfamiliar, and there were many types of trees. Some huge creatures could even be seen faintly in the area not far away.
The environment here is obviously much quieter than the surrounding areas.
Apart from the movement caused by Snowmane's escape and the footsteps they were following, no other sounds could be heard.
Everywhere he looked, there were shadows and darkness.
They had never set foot in this deep area of Redwood Ridge.
Once something unexpected happens, the outcome is hard to predict.
Xia Hong was struggling a little in his heart, and his reason told him that he should not continue chasing, but his desire for the blood of the intermediate cold beast made him reluctant to leave behind the seriously injured and dying Snow Mane.
"Chief, we are here!"
Fortunately, the three Zhao Long brothers arrived from behind.
Not only did the three people arrive, they also each held a bundle of iron arrows in their hands.
"Speed up, keep it, don't let it run any further!"
Xia Hong's face was full of surprise, which was why he showed approval when he heard from Xia Chuan that Zhao Long and the other three were going to get the arrows.
When Snowmane fled in panic, he never thought that the arrow was gone.
He just thought that Snowmane was already on the verge of death and that he would be able to catch him if he followed for a while.
If Zhao Long and the others hadn't thought carefully, they would have been in danger no matter what method they used, except to continue to follow Xuezong in, or to risk their lives to stay.
On the one hand, most of the iron arrows were stuck in Xuezong's body. On the other hand, time was short and the three of them probably didn't have time to search carefully. The iron arrows that Zhao Long and the others brought were only about sixty or seventy, which was not a lot.
But just these sixty or seventy sticks were enough to issue a final death notice to the seriously injured Snow Mane.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Before shooting the arrow, the twelve people had already sped up and dispersed to both sides of Snowmane.
More than sixty iron arrows came rushing from the big trees on both sides.
The targets were all aimed at Snowmane's head.
Snow Mane's staggering figure was staggered by a series of iron arrows from both sides. It was already full of iron arrows. His severely injured head was shot so many times in a row that his walking posture began to deform. The huge The body also began to twitch and pause.
Finally, after stumbling forward for more than twenty meters, Snowmane's life force began to drain away at an accelerated rate, and an aura of decay gradually spread from his huge body.
Bang…………
Finally, its limbs finally fell limp.
The huge body then fell to the ground with a loud bang.
"Finally dead!"
Xia Hong in the tree finally breathed a sigh of relief this time.
Snowmane's head had been partially shot away by a continuous barrage of iron arrows. Not to mention blood, a lot of the brain matter inside had flowed out.
It will pretend to be dead again, but there is no chance this time.
"Don't get close yet, I'll go up and have a look alone!"
Although he was very sure, Xia Hong still adhered to the principle of caution and decided to go and take a look alone first.
"No need for the leader, I'll just go and see it."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Xia Chuan was already there before he could go out.
"There's no need for the leader to see it in person, I'll go."
"I'll do it."
…………
Even other people scattered on both sides started to grab it.
Everyone rushed forward to confirm for him, which made Xia Hong's tense heart immediately relax a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Just let Xia Chuan go alone, you all wait with me."
The behavior of everyone is heartwarming, but habits must be cultivated. With so many people rushing forward together, it will be too late to regret if something goes wrong in the future.
The eleven people did not wait long. After about ten breaths, Xia Chuan's slightly surprised voice came from the side of Xue Zong's body.
"No problem, come here, everyone is dead!"
Xia Hong jumped down from the tree and was the first to arrive.
Looking at the huge Xuemane corpse on the ground, Xia Hong's eyes were full of joy, and he felt that the fatigue on his body was instantly swept away.
Even the injury on his shoulder seemed to have eased a lot.
The other ten people also rushed over one after another.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s so big!”
"Hahahaha, mid-level cold beast, that's all!"
"This size is almost two or three times that of low-level Snowmane."
"With a body length of seven to eight meters, I'm afraid it weighs four to five thousand kilograms of meat."
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Not only is its body length, its legs and body are also several times larger than the lower ones. The amount of meat it produces must be amazing."
"You won't know until you take it back."
"This is an intermediate-level cold beast. No one has ever hunted this camp in Redwood Ridge before, right? Leader, have we made history today?"
…………
Everyone gathered around Xuemane's body, their words full of shock and surprise.
Not to mention, during the previous hunting process, except for Xia Hong who had a brief close contact with the snowmane, the other fourteen people hid dozens or even hundreds of meters away and attacked with bows and arrows.
They hadn't realized it just now, but now that they were getting closer, they could truly and intuitively feel what kind of behemoth the Snowmane they were hunting was.
"Okay, don't look at it. Five people will work with Xia Chuan to pull out all the arrows on its head. The other five people will cut down the tree and make some long wooden sticks. They will be carried back with the wooden sticks later!"
The admiration and exclamation of the ten people only lasted for a moment. Xia Hong gave an order and immediately split into two groups and started busy with their own affairs.
"You can't withstand its blood now, be careful when drawing the arrow, don't get it on your skin."
In fact, there was no need for Xia Hong to remind him. Xia Chuan, who came to confirm Xuezong's death first, was already drawing an arrow. Seeing his cautious movements, the others immediately followed suit and did not dare to touch the blood flowing out of Xuezong's body.
Hiss…………
Xia Hong took a breath, touched his sore cheek, and then looked down at his chest and arms, which were already torn apart. He immediately guessed that his face was probably beyond recognition now.
He didn't remind everyone for no reason. When he stabbed Snowmane's seven orifices with his instrument knife at the pit, the blood that burst out almost splashed all over him.
At that time, there was a strong burning feeling in his mind, but the battle was fierce at that time, and his attention was all on Snowmane, and he didn't pay attention at all.
As soon as the person relaxed at this moment, the pain immediately became severe.
"If I hadn't raised my basic strength to the limit of 30,000 kilograms in the last period of time, let alone hunting this snowmane, the blood it splattered would have been enough to kill me half of my life!"
When his basic strength was only over 20,000 kilograms, the Rat King's blood temperature could burn his skin through. Only with the cold light of the sun could he eliminate the burns and recover completely.
Now at the limit of 30,000 kilograms, although the blood still burned my skin and opened my flesh, it did not hurt the internal bones and flesh, and the pain was lighter than the previous time.
Although the skin was torn and the flesh was torn, it looked miserable, and it was also accompanied by strong pain.
But Xia Hong clearly felt that he could bear it, and in the process of bearing it, his skin membrane and basic strength improved significantly.
"It just looks a little ugly. It should recover soon..."
Fortunately, it was night, and because the position was too deep, he didn't dare to let anyone set him on fire. Everyone could only see that he was covered in blood. If they saw his terrifying appearance with his skin and flesh torn to pieces at the moment, they might misunderstand that he was a trick.
Phew…………
"Hurry up and clean up, we can't stay here for long."
Taking a deep breath, Xia Hong endured the severe pain in his body. After urging everyone to speed up, he climbed up a tree and observed the surrounding situation.
This is already a four to five kilometer deep area within the Redwood Ridge. Not only are the trees generally much thicker than those in the periphery, but there are obviously many more types.
Three or four kilometers away to the north, there is a huge cloud and mist area, with a visual range of five to six hundred meters wide. To the south, a towering tree with an unusually exaggerated diameter can be seen in the distance. On the giant tree, there are dozens of people. Each of the huge figures was similar to the snowmane that had just died.
The cloud and mist area in the north should be the territory of Tengjiao, but the cloud and mist area created by low-level Tengjiao is only fifty meters in radius.
Is this five to six hundred meters intermediate or advanced?
What is that giant tree in the south, the Snow Mane Group? Or a pack of frost wolves?
Judging from the size, it is very likely that there are dozens of intermediate-level cold beasts. If dozens of intermediate-level cold beasts gather together, then there must be a high-level cold beast leader...
Xia Hong withdrew his gaze, and while he was shocked, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.
Snowmane's escape just now was probably to avoid the territory of other cold beasts.
It can also be seen from this that there is also a strict hierarchy among the cold beasts.
Even if Snowmane was seriously injured and in that state, its instinct still prompted it not to dare to enter the territory of other cold beasts.
"It's already packed, leader."
Hearing Xia Chuan's shout below, Xia Hong jumped down.
The arrow pots on everyone's backs were filled again; the snow-maned prey was tied to two long wooden sticks with ropes, and two people at the front and back carried them together.
"Okay, go back quickly!"
Xia Hong gave the order and took the lead to the east periphery.
Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan were on two sides. Yue Feng and Yuan Cheng followed the team. The three Zhao Long brothers walked directly up the tree. The four people in the middle were carrying the prey.
Going out for hunting is no longer a day or two, and the formation arrangement on the return trip has long been a routine.
No need for Xia Hong to speak, everyone can do their own thing.
In an unfamiliar environment, and with the panting and howling of unknown cold beasts heard from time to time, Xia Hong almost had to run when he led everyone outside. Within a few minutes, we walked more than two miles east.
If we continue walking for another mile or two, we will reach the familiar outer area, and we will not be far from leaving Redwood Ridge.
Xia Hong turned his head and glanced behind him, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can finally take a breath. It's so depressing to stay in there!"
"Me too. It's too dark inside. I can't see a single cold beast, but it feels very oppressive from all directions. The cold beasts inside should have their own territory. Fortunately, we followed the snow mane in. It would have been a mess. If you break in, you will probably die in a few minutes.”
Luo Yuan and Xia Chuan couldn't help but speak directly. They had been in a tense state for a few minutes after they had just walked out, and they always felt like something was staring at them in the shadows.
Although the others did not speak, the expressions on their faces showed that they were obviously not feeling relaxed in those few minutes.
"Don't talk, keep walking, you'll be out soon!"
Xia Hong interrupted the discussion between the two and led everyone to continue moving forward at a faster speed.
Whoosh…………
Less than two hundred meters forward, suddenly, a swift arrow pierced the air, more than ten meters in front of Xia Hong's eyes, flew horizontally from left to right, and was directly inserted into a big tree on the right.
Click……Bang…………
Xia Hong looked a little nervous. Before he could react, the sounds of trees breaking and collapsing could be heard one after another on the left.
"Is there anyone?"
"Be careful."
"It's the north."
"It's that tree, it fell."
…………
The movement of the people walking was not too loud, and the sound of arrows piercing the air was extremely clear. Before Xia Hong opened his mouth, the others were already alert.
Xia Hong had turned his head and looked to the left, which was the north direction of Redwood Ridge, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
To the north, about a hundred meters away.
After the big tree Xia Chuan was talking about collapsed, a giant object eight or nine meters long rolled down from the tree and made a loud noise;
Arrows rained down from all around, shooting crazily at the behemoth;
At the same time, a figure holding a giant broadsword jumped down from the nearest big tree and jumped directly on the head of the behemoth.
"An outsider broke in to hunt!"
"Is it the group of people from last time?"
"It should be the people from Jingxian camp."
"It's just them, there's no other camp but them."
“I didn’t even say hello, I just came right in, hum!”
…………
This is obviously a group of people who are hunting intermediate cold beasts just like them. Xia Chuan and others still don't understand.
Everyone spoke one after another, with some anger in their tone.
After falling silent, everyone turned their attention to Xia Hong, who had not said a word.
"Go and have a look!"
Xia Hong naturally understood what everyone was thinking, and his face was a bit gloomy. He didn't find anyone from the Jingxian camp outside just now, so he thought they had not crossed the line.
Unexpectedly, the opponent not only crossed the boundary, but even penetrated two kilometers and started hunting directly here.
Hongmu Ridge has long been regarded as Daxia's territory by Xia Hong, and the resources inside are undoubtedly forbidden to Daxia.
The Jingxian Camp’s direct transgression clearly showed that they did not take Daxia Camp seriously at all.
"Put down the prey. Just follow Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan out. The other nine people will all find their positions first. I want to see how crazy this Jingxian camp can be!"
They chose to hunt at night; and just like themselves and others, the opponent also used bow shooting; in addition, when the man holding a broad sword fought with the behemoth, he basically used dodge and roundabout methods.
From these three points alone, Xia Hong could roughly judge that the opponent's staffing and strongest combat power should be similar to his own.
Xia Hong knew that the Jingxian camp had cold-resistant combat power.
However, Xia Hong would not believe that such a high-risk hunting event would hide in the dark and allow these diggers to fight against the cold beasts.
Since the cold-resistant strongman is not here, and the opponent's strength is about the same as mine, and is also being pestered by cold beasts, it would be a pity not to take care of the people in Guan Jingxian's camp with such a good opportunity.
After Zhao Long dispersed with the other eight people, he went directly to the big tree, set up a long bow in the shadow, and aimed at the exposed positions of the Jingxian camp. Obviously, they all understood what Xia Hong meant.
Xia Hong, on the other hand, took Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan and approached them directly.
As they got closer, the three of them saw clearly the true appearance of the behemoth.
It was a golden-eyed demon sheep that was familiar to all three of them, but it was nearly nine meters long and five or six meters high at the shoulders. It looked like a building when it stood, and the white mane covering its back came from both sides. Hanging down four or five meters, it looks like two large gray curtains.
The most terrifying thing is its back, which has sixteen pairs of golden eyes as big as lanterns.
Five of them have been shot by iron arrows, and blood is flowing out;
The other eleven pairs continuously erupted with dazzling golden light. Those bright lights were like sharp arrows, shooting at the man holding the broad sword and the other archers hiding in the surrounding trees.
The Golden Eyed Demon Sheep was so huge that when it ran wildly, it trampled on the surrounding ground and shook it. Its collision force was even worse than that of the Snow Mane just now, not to mention the surrounding big trees.
In just a short time, more than a dozen big trees around him had been broken and knocked down by it, and not a single intact tree could be found within a radius of nearly 100 meters.
When they saw the golden-eyed demon sheep clearly, they also saw clearly the person fighting it, Xia Hong and the others.
He was too far away to see his face clearly. All he could see was that he was tall and tall, dressed in black, and holding a giant broad sword about one meter and a half long and more than twenty centimeters wide in both hands.
Not only is the broad sword sharp, but its shape is also extremely exaggerated.
Most people probably can't even pick it up.
But in that person's hands, it was as light as nothing.
Slashing, blocking, slashing, retracting and releasing, extremely smooth.
What's even more rare is that he can also use the potential energy of the broad sword to adjust his body and constantly circle the demon sheep. From time to time, he can even use the sword to scratch a few deep scars on the demon sheep.
The iron arrows on the surrounding trees were constantly shooting at the demon sheep, and the targets were always the golden eyes on its back. Moreover, one of the iron arrows was extremely accurate. Every time, he grabbed the golden sheep and tried to burst out the strong light to suppress the black demon sheep. When he was wearing clothes, he shot it accurately, making the golden sheep unable to use the strong light.
Bang…………
The demon sheep seized an opportunity and lowered its head to swoop down. The man in black was caught off guard and could only use his broad sword to resist. As expected, he and his sword were pushed into the air together.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the golden sheep on the demon sheep's back opened at the same time. It ignored even the iron arrows shot from the trees in all directions, and directly burst out eleven golden lights at the man in black in the air.
Puff……Puff…………
"Roar..."
The sound of seven or eight iron arrows piercing the eyeballs in a row resounded throughout the audience, followed closely by the painful roar of the demon sheep.
But Xia Hong's eyes were fixed on the man in black, and he noticed a bright light shining through his abdomen, and raised his brows slightly.
"Brother, are you hit?"
"It was hit. The man in black must have been injured, and it was not serious."
Xia Hong only raised his eyebrows slightly, but Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan beside him didn't have so many scruples. Their faces showed joy and they spoke to Xia Hong.
"Don't say anything yet. They are quite powerful. This devil sheep is dead!"
Although the demon sheep succeeded in injuring the man in black, the eleven golden eyeballs on its back were also shot by a round of iron arrows, and not a single one was left.
"Hoo......Hoo......Hoo......"
All sixteen golden eyes on its back were shot blind, and the devil sheep's last ferocious nature seemed to be inspired. It jerked its body, raised its head and roared incessantly.
After the man in black in the distance landed on the ground and had just pulled off the strip of cloth to tie his abdominal wound, the demon sheep here rushed towards him.
"Boss!"
"Brothers, we can't let this beast hurt his head."
"This evil beast is blind, and he's still afraid of its eggs!"
"Go!"
…………
Several roars were heard from the surrounding trees. There were more than twenty people in total. Wuyangyang jumped down from the tree, and then rushed towards the demon sheep.
These twenty people had bows on their backs. It was obvious that those arrows were shot by these people. Each of them held a big sword in their hands. They roared and charged, exuding a fierce and fearless temperament.
Of course, they are fast.
But the devil sheep is faster.
The man in black, whom they called the leader, obviously did not place his hopes on these twenty people. After tying up his wounds, he raised his broadsword and ducked sideways.
The six sharp horns of this intermediate magic sheep are two to three meters long. When it charges straight towards it, its horizontal attack range is also astonishingly large.
The man in black is fast, but compared to the devil sheep, the human body has an inherent disadvantage in size, not to mention that the speed is not as good as it.
Pfft…………
Just as Xia Hong expected, the left shoulder of the man in black was directly pierced by one of the sharp horns of the demon sheep, but the next scene was completely beyond Xia Hong's expectation.
The man in black was stabbed through his left shoulder. Without any hesitation, he grabbed the broad sword with both hands and suddenly lowered it, bypassing the sharp horn of the demon sheep and reaching its neck.
Pfft…………
"This power is above me..."
Seeing the sinking broad sword, which was more than half a meter into the demon sheep's neck, Xia Hong's pupils shrank suddenly and his mind was slightly frightened.
He had just experienced the bones and skin of the intermediate cold beasts. At such a close distance, if he wanted to pierce the neck, the force that would burst out in an instant would be at least 40,000 kilograms, he conservatively estimated.
Now he can use the Changquan routine to explode up to 36,000 kilograms of power.
This man in black's basic strength must be above his own.
The demon sheep's neck was stabbed with a broad sword, and the severe pain caused its body to stagger.
It forced its limbs to stabilize its body, but on the other side, the more than twenty people who came down from the tree did not give him this chance.
The twenty people had a clear division of labor, ten of them went straight for its head, and the remaining ten were divided into five groups, attacking its limbs and tail respectively.
The Demon Sheep was so huge that it only took a few dozen people to chop it a few times before it was kicked away by its randomly bouncing limbs.
Bones were broken, blood was vomited, hands and feet were broken, knives were kicked away, people were thrown upside down for more than ten meters, and they were even seriously injured and fell into coma, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
The fate of those twenty people was nothing more than the following.
But what shocked Xia Hong and the other three people was that, except for the unconscious and seriously injured person whose life or death was unclear, the rest of them, as long as they could move, without exception, all continued to pick up their swords and charged forward again.
They don't seem to be afraid of death at all.
More than twenty people took turns to kill, and the leading man in black continued to use broad swords to inflict damage on the demon sheep's head. After more than a hundred breaths, the demon sheep's limbs finally began to tremble, and its body became weak and began to stagger.
"Brothers, hurry up, hold on a little longer, this devil sheep will fall soon."
"It's not in vain that I cut him more than ten times, and the blades were all curled up."
"It's okay, just go back and grind again. Iron is nothing."
"Boss, how are you?"
Seeing that the demon sheep was crumbling and still slashing with knives, everyone immediately shouted and talked excitedly. Finally, there was one person who became concerned about the man in black and asked with a slightly worried voice.
"I'm fine, please retreat first. This demon sheep has no strength to escape..."
Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, and Luo Yuan, who had been watching for a long time, heard the man in black speak for the first time. The three of them were startled. Even the man in black paused before he finished speaking. Not found.
The voice of the man in black was actually very young.
No, it’s too young.
Judging from his voice, he seems to be similar to Xia Chuan, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
"First come with me to welcome our friends from Daxia!"
The three people who were a little stunned on the big tree changed their expressions slightly when they heard what the man in black said behind them.
He was actually discovered by this person.
Now that they were discovered, the three of them stopped hiding and jumped down from the tree.
Xia Hong looked downcast and led the two of them forward slowly until they were only ten meters away from each other before stopping.
"Your Majesty brought so many people to trespass into my Daxia territory and come in privately to hunt. I, Xia Hong, do not dare to be called friends!"
