Chapter 225 Qi Xuefei’s Dilemma (4400 words!!)
Just like when he was near Ma Hongwei's tree house before, Xu Xin specifically found a place on the ground where there weren't many fallen leaves to step on in order not to make any noise, and slowly approached the tree house, which was only three or four hundred meters away from them.
Li Wenxi also followed behind him, stepping on the places he stepped on step by step, moving forward cautiously.
Suddenly, Coco, who was lying on Xu Xin's shoulder, moved, probably remembering Xu Xin's warning just now. Instead of jumping down, it scratched the front with its small paws and called "嘤" in Xu Xin's ear. There was a sound.
Xu Xin stepped more carefully and said softly to Li Wenxi: "There is someone in front of you, be careful."
Soon, through the gaps in the trees, the two saw the scene under the tree house.
"That's...Sister Xuefei!" Li Wenxi exclaimed quietly behind Xu Xin.
Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
All the nearly 100 meters of trees around the tree house were cut down, forming an open space around the tree house. This was similar to the choice of Xu Xin and Li Wenxi.
Only ten or twenty meters away from the tree house, a woman wearing blue-grade steel armor was sitting on the ground. Her breathing was slightly rapid, and her face was flushed from exercise. She was covering her chest with a painful look on her face. He coughed twice from time to time.
On the ground around her, there were at least nearly twenty heavy crossbow arrows stuck crookedly, and a few more were lying scattered on the ground. The wooden arrows had been completely deformed.
Although Xu Xin has never seen Qi Xuefei's appearance, this blue-level steel armor is undoubtedly the one he made today, and Li Wenxi must have known her appearance through the video with Qi Xuefei, so this woman is undoubtedly Qi Xuefei.
However, her steel armor, which had just been made, already looked a little worn out. The armor was covered with dirt, and there were a few scratches and dents.
These marks were obviously caused by heavy crossbow arrows.
Xu Xin clenched his fists. If you are hit by a heavy crossbow arrow, you will still be injured even if you are wearing blue-level steel armor.
Blue-level steel armor is the most defensive suit among blue-level suits. From a defensive point of view, this steel armor set is not necessarily worse than purple-level scale armor set. Therefore, the crossbow arrows fired by the green-level heavy crossbow only made a few scratches and dents on the steel armor.
However, just because the armor does not take much damage does not mean that the people inside the armor will not be harmed.
Heavy armor is more about preventing small-scale sharp attacks, such as crossbow arrows, snake bites, wolf bites, spear or sword attacks, and even tiger scratches and bites.
As long as these attacks cannot destroy the armor, the person wearing the armor will not suffer much damage.
But if it's a powerful collision type attack, then heavy armor won't be of much use.
Just like Xu Xin was wearing blue-level armor before, he still didn't dare to withstand the collision of the wild boar head-on. If he was knocked away or hit hard against a tree, A might not suffer much damage, but he would definitely suffer internal injuries!
To take an extreme example, no matter how hard the armor is, if you are hit by a truck and fly dozens of meters, even if the armor is very hard and does not deform, the person will still be dead.
It is precisely because the armor is too hard to absorb the impact force that all the impact force will act on the human body. It is easy to cause internal injuries, damage to the internal organs and bones, ranging from trauma to severe injuries.
The essence of a heavy crossbow lies in its "heavy". In addition to its penetrating power, the weight of the heavy crossbow arrow itself is also huge. When shot by this kind of crossbow arrow, even if the crossbow arrow cannot penetrate the extremely tough blue-grade steel armor, it will still be hit. It can drive people wearing steel armor to the ground.
At this time, Qi Xuefei had obviously been hit on the ground several times by a heavy crossbow. She was covered in dust and coughing uncontrollably while covering her chest.
"...Does it mean that you have been like this? Are you kidding me?" Qi Xuefei slowly stood up from the ground, raised her head and faced the direction of the tree house, and said in an already weak voice.
Xu Xin and the others could not see the owner of the tree house from their current position. He was looking at Qi Xuefei from the window in the other direction.
"Click!" The sound of the amplifier twisting was heard, and another crossbow bolt was shot from the side of the tree house. Qi Xuefei turned around to avoid it, but was still hit in the shoulder by the crossbow bolt. The crossbow arrow with huge weight and kinetic energy knocked her to the ground.
Li Wenxi's face was full of anger, and she immediately took out the crossbow, but Xu Xin reached out and stopped her in front of her, stopping her from rushing forward.
"Wait a moment and observe the situation! Taking action hastily will not only put Qi Xuefei in more danger, but also put us in danger!" Xu Xin shouted in a low voice.
"But..." Looking at Qi Xuefei, who rolled twice on the ground and then quickly got up, Li Wenxi bit her lip.
"This person doesn't seem to want to kill her now, but if you take action, he might actually kill her if he sees too many people!" Xu Xin glanced at the treehouse canopy full of heavy crossbows and whispered.
If this person really wanted to kill Qi Xuefei, he could just fire thousands of arrows at once, why bother teasing people one by one.
Fortunately, Qi Xuefei is also a smart person. Xu Xin noticed that when she was rolling on the ground just now, she quickly stuffed a pill into her mouth very secretly, and then her movements became more agile when she got up.
Xu Xin from the side could see her little movements, but the people in the tree house certainly couldn't.
What she took should be the kind of pills that can quickly recover from injuries.
"Haha, yes, I'm just teasing you!"
A man's voice came from the tree house. The voice was relatively high-pitched and playful.
"It's not easy to see a beautiful woman. It would be wrong to kill you. Of course I have to have fun with it! The armor you are wearing is really strong. If it weren't for this armor, I would be really afraid of killing you. Wait. You are so tired that you are exhausted, hehehe..."
With that said, there was another loudspeaker sound, and a crossbow arrow was immediately shot at Qi Xuefei!
Qi Xuefei relied on her newly recovered body to dodge the heavy crossbow arrows. Then she suddenly turned and rushed into the jungle in the opposite direction of the tree house!
"Want to run?"
The three-tone machine amplified the sound, and three heavy crossbow arrows were fired fiercely!
However, these three crossbow arrows did not hit Qi Xuefei, but just passed her head and stuck diagonally on the ground in front of her.
Three crossbow arrows blocked Qi Xuefei's body, causing her body to stop suddenly and almost hitting it. She adjusted her body shape, trying to avoid it and continue running.
"Click!"
The fourth heavy crossbow arrow was fired at this moment, and it shot straight through!
The meter-long heavy crossbow arrow flew rapidly and accurately hit her right shoulder!
The steel armor still protected her from being pierced by the heavy crossbow arrows, but the huge force still knocked her directly to the ground, slamming her to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly.
What a precise shot!
He was still wondering just now. This was just a low tree house. Even if it wanted to be planted, it could only be planted within an area of about ten meters. He had spent so much effort to cut down such a large area around it. What?
Now it seems that this may be the effective range of his heavy crossbow shooting! If there are trees around, the effect of his heavy crossbow will be reduced!
"Ah!" Li Wenxi covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Qi Xuefei covered her shoulders and gritted her teeth. She felt like her shoulder had been broken.
"How could this happen..."
She now deeply regrets her rash actions.
She is actually quite confident in her personal strength, especially after receiving the steel armor set given to her by Li Wenxi.
Wearing this steel armor, she headed west, exploring the low tree house.
After tentatively stepping out of her protected area, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the protected area of this tree house was connected to her protected area!
This side can lead to the outside!
But she did not contact Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang, but walked towards the double-story tree house alone.
In her opinion, the double-decker is an ordinary survivor in the tree house who should be in the next area. She can solve it by herself without having to trouble Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang.
Although they are partners, it is always not good to trouble others before they have met. If you can handle it yourself, it is naturally better to do it yourself.
And according to Xu Xin, the ordinary survivors on the opposite side should not know about the regional opposition. She might be able to have a friendly communication and explain her purpose to the other party. If the other party agrees, that would be great. If not, , it’s not too late to take action then.
The idea was good, but she made the same mistake as Xu Xin just now.
A person with a double-story tree house can also be very powerful!
When she approached the tree house, which was only about ten meters away, all the heavy crossbow arrows on the tree house suddenly turned around and locked her!
She didn't expect that before she took action, the other party would take action first!
If she could see the heavy crossbow arrows filling the tree canopy, she would never enter this open area!
But as a person who has studied for a doctorate, it is normal for her to be a little short-sighted, so it was not until she was very close that she saw the rows of heavy crossbows hidden in the canopy of the tree house.
However, it was too late.
In this way, she was locked by this man's heavy crossbow and could not escape.
Although the other party aimed all their heavy crossbow arrows at her, they did not seem to have the intention to kill her, but they did not let her escape. Once she wants to retreat, the opponent will use his very accurate crossbow to restrict her movement.
During this period, she did not dodge an arrow, but because of the steel armor, she was not penetrated, and she was not even seriously injured. This made the people in the tree house even more unscrupulous, knocking her to the ground again and again, and even threatening her. , if she dares to escape, shoot her with thousands of arrows.
This man didn't come down, he kept manipulating the heavy crossbow and kept taunting him. It seemed that he should wait until she was exhausted and unable to move at all before coming down to clean up the mess. It was really prudent.
It's not like she hasn't considered contacting Xu Xin, Ji Chaoyang, Li Wenxi and the others, but... the screen of the watch is very conspicuous. As soon as she draws the screen, the heavy crossbow from the opposite side will be fired directly, leaving her with no way to contact other people. people.
In this way, she had been in a stalemate with the person above for almost an hour.
"Why are you running? Do you know that once you enter this 100-meter range, it is my territory. I can definitely kill you before you run out. If you don't believe it, you can try running again." On the tree house, A joking voice sounded.
"What should I do..." Qi Xuefei clutched her fractured shoulder and gritted her teeth.
She couldn't fall down here, otherwise, that person wouldn't know what he would do to her, but she didn't want to die either!
She quickly stuffed another pill into her mouth and felt the pain in her shoulder subside quickly. She got up from the ground and looked at the man with a disgusting smile in the tree house.
"Huh?" Qi Xuefei's eyelids twitched.
She found that behind the tree house, within the blind spot of the man's field of vision, two people were quickly walking towards the tree house.
That's...Li Wenxi?
She had a video call with Li Wenxi and knew what Li Wenxi looked like.
Then the man running over with her next to her was Xu Xin?
Her heart immediately became anxious. She wanted to remind the two of them not to step within a hundred meters of this person. This person's accuracy in manipulating the crossbow arrows was too high! This is completely equivalent to his domain!
But the two of them had quickly passed through the 100-meter open area and arrived at the tree house. The man in the tree house didn't notice the whole process at all.
Qi Xuefei's eyelids were twitching and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
These two people are a little too bold! Didn't they see what they had just done?
"Why, you didn't speak or move. Did you give up the resistance?" The man began to mock again, "I told you, if you give up the resistance, I will take off your hard tortoise shell, throw the backpack away, and hold it high Hands, wait for me to visit you.”
Li Wenxi under the tree house made a retching expression and frowned, expressing her feelings towards this man: How disgusting!
Xu Xin glanced at her and told her not to make any sound!
Coco also waved her little paw.
Li Wenxi nodded and looked at Qi Xuefei, her eyes full of worry.
Just when Qi Xuefei was giving them a wink, wanting them to leave the area quickly and then think of a solution, Xu Xin suddenly started signing to her.
After looking at it for a long time, she finally understood what Xu Xin meant.
Did he ask me to do as the man asked, take off my armor, throw away my backpack, and pretend to surrender?
Qi Xuefei's eyes lit up.
With them here, as long as she is seduced by this man, they can immediately take action to subdue this man!
It does work!
Qi Xuefei took a deep breath and decided to follow Xu Xin's method.
She held her shoulder that had fully recovered, pretended to be in pain, took two steps forward, and shouted: "I surrender! I will do what you say! Stop shooting with the heavy crossbow!"< br>
With that said, she threw her backpack more than ten meters away, and at the same time, she took off her steel armor one by one.
The steel armor fell to the ground one by one, making a sound of metal collision.
All the steel armor was removed, and the blue-grade leather armor padded inside was exposed, fully displaying her graceful figure.
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed.
This is of course not because of her figure, but because her leather armor has some blood stains on her shoulders, legs, abdomen and other parts. It seems that even if she is wearing steel armor, the injuries she just suffered It's certainly not light either. Fortunately, it should be restored now.
She was really strong enough to be able to hold back and remain silent despite being hurt like this.
"Huh? It seems you have given up? Come on, raise your hands, come closer and let me see!" The voice of the man upstairs was obviously a little impatient.
Qi Xuefei listened to his words, raised her hands, and slowly approached the tree house.
"Yes, come closer, oh, with this figure and this face, I'm so lucky!"
"Come closer, come closer!"
Finally, the man upstairs couldn't bear it anymore and screamed: "Oh! Little beauty, I'm coming down!"
As he said that, the canopy opened below the tree house, and a thin-looking man jumped down from the tree house with tree house roots wrapped around his waist. He stared at Qi Xuefei with her hands raised in the air and rushed directly towards her!
"Now!" Xu Xin's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly waved the halberd in his hand at the man who was still in the air!
