Chapter 205: Love to join in the fun
The way back was blocked by skeleton soldiers. This situation made the hyena people's inner fear become even more intense.
My heart has long lost the will to fight, and now it is considered good to be able to exert 70% of my original strength.
Afterwards, I don’t know who took the lead first. The moment the first hyena man turned around and ran away, the hyena family’s offensive also collapsed.
No matter how much the hyena queen hiding in the dark scolds, she cannot change this reality.
Also unable to change this reality is Zhou Xu.
Finally hardened up, he faced the hyena man at his home court. Relying on the tactics he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, he was wearing down the opponent while also making the opponent sink into the 'skeleton quagmire' .
Seeing that his tactics are gradually taking effect, the fatal weakness of his tactics at this stage has been exposed in just a moment.
That is, if the opponent wants to break through forcefully, he will most likely not be able to stop him.
The skeleton soldiers are relatively fragile and not strong enough, which is partly why they are unable to forcibly intercept them.
Another reason is that even with the BUFF of 'Skeleton Soldier Speed Enhancement', the speed of the Skeleton Soldier is basically maintained at a normal level, which is far from fast.
This also allows the hyenas to quickly leave after breaking through the skeleton soldiers' interception net.
Zhou Xu knew this, so in the midst of the chaos, he quietly mobilized skeleton soldiers to cut off the other side's retreat.
But it turns out that when the opponent wants to force a breakout, this interception cannot have the desired effect.
He wanted to pursue him, but according to the speed of the skeleton soldiers, this approach was just a waste of time and mantra power.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Xu, who was about to release the mantra, immediately stopped, and then while instructing the skeleton soldiers to maintain the momentum and continue the pursuit, he quickly gave an order...
"Mount the horse and pursue! Hurry! !”
While speaking, Zhou Xu took two quick steps and quickly got on his horse.
In Prairie Village, not all the soldiers have gone out to perform tasks, and some are still staying in the village.
There were too many hyenas before, so Zhou Xu naturally did not swell to the point of chasing them out with a few cavalry.
But the situation is undoubtedly different now...
With the sound of horse hooves, the cavalry team headed by Ye Jinghong, who went out to perform a mission, returned!
During this period, when the hyenas saw them chasing them, they immediately dispersed, which greatly increased the difficulty of their pursuit.
Judging from this situation, even if they invest a lot of time and effort in chasing them down, I'm afraid they won't be able to kill a few.
When Zhou Xu saw this, he immediately changed his plan.
"Leave them alone, the Hyena Queen is hiding nearby, kill the Hyena Queen!"
Zhou Xu, who chased them all the way on horseback, shouted loudly when he saw the person.
Hearing the order, Ye Jinghong reacted quickly, pulled the reins, and turned the horse's head directly.
“Look for it!”
Although they have just returned from the mission, in order to build them into an all-round force, the soldiers do a lot of physical training on weekdays.
Now, the value of this training has finally been reflected.
At this moment, the status of each of them is not bad at all. After receiving the order, they immediately took action.
But in their opinion, the hyenas actually look similar. It is not that difficult for them to recognize them.
【Eye of Insight! 】
In order to improve efficiency, Zhou Xu directly opened his eyes of insight.
[Logically speaking, the Hyena Queen should be larger than the average hyena man, but these hyena men seem to be about the same size! 】 His eyes swept quickly, and Zhou Xu also had a headache at the moment.
At this moment, a howl suddenly came from the snow in the distance!
“Chitose?!”
This familiar howl made Zhou Xu confused, and he subconsciously looked back in the direction of the village.
At that time, all his energy was focused on controlling the skeleton soldiers, and he really didn't notice where Chitose went.
Now that he heard the noise, Zhou Xu had no time to think about it. He hurriedly pulled the reins and rushed in the direction of the sound.
The distance is not that far. At this moment, Chitose is howling frequently and confronting a hyena man.
“Chitose, this kid, really loves to join in the fun!”
Zhou Xu was greatly troubled by Chitose's temperament.
But then I thought about it, from the perspective of a cat, at this time, it should be in a stage of liveliness and strong desire to hunt.
Anyway, wherever there is "liveliness", it must be there.
Qiantose’s urinary attitude made Zhou Xu speechless for a while.
But after being speechless, he quickly realized a problem...
[Wait a minute, looking at Chitose's current position, he may have slipped out a long time ago, but the problem is that the hyena has just started to escape. How did it meet so quickly? 】
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu, who had already guessed a certain possibility, felt his heart beat faster.
[Could it be that this is the hyena queen who was hiding outside at the beginning? ! 】
Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through, on the snow in the distance, Chitose and the hyena man suspected of being the hyena queen had been fighting back and forth for several rounds. Zhou Xu couldn't help blinking his eyes several times.
In his impression, Chitose is still a naughty kid. Although he has some fighting ability, he can only howl twice and launch a noise attack.
It is basically impossible to win against a hyena man alone.
With this doubt in his heart, Zhou Xu was not so anxious now.
"Go and call Zhou Chongshan over."
He gave the instructions to a cavalryman who was following him. During this period, Zhou Xu's eyes were on Qiantose and the hyena man. , never moved away at all.
Under careful observation, Zhou Xu soon discovered that the hyena man's physical condition was not good. He looked like he was suffering from long-term malnutrition and was starved to the bone.
But even so, there is no denying the ferocity of the opponent's attacks. Every attack carries a threat that cannot be ignored.
Chitose, on the other hand, is a bit out of her depth. She can only interfere with the opponent by howling every time, but she cannot easily kill him and cause effective damage to the hyena man.
While Zhou Xu was thinking this, Zhou Zhongshan was already riding over.
"Leader."
"Shigeyama, have you seen the hyena man fighting Chitose? If something goes wrong later, just shoot the hyena man directly to ensure Chitose's safety. Safe.”
"Yes!"
With a response, Zhou Chongshan directly took the horn bow in his hand. At the same time, the arrow was lightly placed on the string, ready to fire the bow at any time.
Specially asking Zhou Chongshan to do this was undoubtedly an archery issue.
Zhou Xu himself is busy with various internal tasks on weekdays and has little time to practice martial arts. His archery skills can only be said to be so-so.
When it comes to Chitose's life, Zhou Xu doesn't dare to gamble.
