The long chain of bones intertwined into a large web suddenly collapsed, and the bones that had been buried for centuries hit the ground like falling rocks.
The men chased after her and fired crossbows at the girl.
Just like before, the girl jumped to the ground, became lighter, and ran to another place.
She was extremely fast, and in an instant she climbed up a high pillar, turned back and cut off the rope, and in the blink of an eye another piece of bone collapsed, making a crisp sound on the ground.
The sound of crossbow arrows was drowned out, and their vision was disturbed. Several men took a detour and ran towards the pillar on the other side, trying to intercept them on the way forward.
Dozens of arrows did not harm the girl at all. At the same time, as pieces of white bones collapsed, the bone chain tied to the same long rope fell. The whole row collapsed, making a noise like dancing beads falling on a plate, with the same momentum.
landslide.
The underground open space was already covered by long chains of bones. From such a collapse, no one could be spared.
One person yelled "No!" and turned around to retreat. He had nowhere to retreat and was held down by several long ropes.
Not to mention how heavy it is, but the strands form a web and the bones fall on it, making it too difficult to move.
In just such a moment, the girl hiding behind the pillar suddenly ran out. As she was running, a crossbow arrow in her hand pierced a person's throat. She used the force to do a forward somersault in the air and dived into the darkness in an instant.
The others watched helplessly, broke away from the bone mesh and rushed over, only to see their companion's mouth full of blood, his face suffocated and red, and his eyes frightened.
"Chase!" one person said angrily, chasing the girl in the direction where she disappeared.
The woman tore off the thread on her body and ran to see her subordinate who had not yet breathed his last and was waiting for death in pain. She frowned, and there was no trace of mercy or kindness in her heart. She said angrily to the subordinate in front of her, "There is no need to leave her alive! Kill her!"
As she said that, she turned to the men who were with her behind her and said, "Something may happen. You should go back and report it to the lord first and ask him to send more men."
"Yes!" the subordinate responded and turned to face north.
Xia Zhaoyi leaned against a pillar. The rapid movement made her dizzy.
The white bones on the ground made the pursuers slow down a lot. Some old bones were trampled to pieces and cracked. The powder was lifted up by the strong wind and passed through dozens of tall pillars on the open land, looming into the darkness.
A strangely vigorous spectacle.
It was these movements that allowed Xia Zhaoyi to clearly identify the movements around her, including which direction people were closest to her and which direction they were moving away from.
She gripped the dagger tightly, preparing to attack, counting down the seconds in her mind, preparing to jump out and strike with another blow, and then run again.
In the darkness, the crossbow arrows flew through the wind, passing through the rows of pillars, and several of them were stuck on the high pillar where she was hiding.
Therefore, even if she makes a surprise attack secretly and has the initiative, she still has to bear the risk of being shot by random arrows.
The men did not dare to take it lightly. They had already seen the girl's skill and fierceness.
The fire spread inch by inch, and behind the pillars was their primary target. Every time they approached a row of pillars, they would fire several crossbow arrows.
After walking to a row of pillars and confirming that no one was around, there was a sudden loud noise from the top, large pieces of gravel burst and fell, and dust rose in the orange light.
After the loud noise, there was another loud noise, with gravel pouring down, and sand and dust pouring down. The entrance to the cave that was blocked when Xia Zhaoyi came down was dug open by people, and the hole was even bigger.
Away from the noise, I could hear the young man Qingyue shouting in the distance, "Master, someone ran over over there!"
Xia Zhaoyi paused, then raised his voice and said, "Master, they have crossbow machines."
The old man was about to hammer down the sledgehammer again. Hearing the sound, he looked in the direction Zhili was pointing.
When he came, he placed a lamp in the open space. The weak light illuminated a limited area, and he could hardly see the figures running past.
The speed of the split was not as fast as that of the old man. He was still crawling on the rocks next to the pool. Hearing Xia Zhaoyi's voice, he shouted happily, "Is Senior Sister really down there? Master, be careful. What if a stone falls and hits Senior Sister!"
"
"How many crossbows?" The old man looked away and asked his apprentice.
"Six frames, there are about ten people coming." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Everyone who reacted looked towards the source of the sound, and one of his men shouted, "Kill her!"
The woman looked up at the high hole that had been smashed open, and took a step back, her expression unspeakable.
If only one person comes, it won't matter. But beside the old man, there is a young boy.
When they came to Longdan Mountain half a month ago, they heard the young man's voice. If it was really that young man, then this old man was beyond their ability to deal with at present.
After a moment of hesitation, his men rushed toward the crossbow.
"Back off!" the woman shouted at the same time.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound, and one of the men who had just fired two crossbow arrows was grabbed by the collar and thrown back.
The woman was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Thinking that the girl was as quick as lightning, killing people without batting an eyelid, and that she would no longer negotiate with her, she felt a chill in her heart and did not dare to stay for a moment. She helped her men up and whispered, "Let's go."
Another subordinate was thrown towards him, and when he fell to the ground with a painful sound, the torch in his hand also fell, making him dodge in response to the heat.
The rest of the people turned towards the direction of the movement, their crossbows missing their target and hesitating in their hands, while the man holding the sword rushed over to strike.
The opponent was too quick to see the figure, so they swung away the sword in their hands, and someone grabbed their wrists. At the same time, they removed the weapon. With the crisp sound of the sword falling on their bones, their bodies were thrown back by a force.
go.
One after another, in the blink of an eye, the three people were pushed away.
Several crossbow arrows were shot at the figures in confusion, and then they were knocked away randomly. After falling to the ground, they didn't even see how the other party took action.
Several torches were extinguished, and the remaining ones fell to the ground, greatly reducing the intensity of the fire.
The men were a little unyielding and got up immediately. When they looked up, they saw an old man holding a sledgehammer in his hands, with cold and sharp eyebrows, standing next to a pillar. His tall and straight body was pulled out of the ground by the fire.
, a dim shadow.
"How do you raise the pool?" the old man asked.
A man looked at him angrily, then looked at his other companions, suddenly took out a pill and fed it into his mouth.
The old man frowned, but did not stop him or step forward to take the pill from his back. He watched coldly as the effect of the medicine took effect and he died on the bones.
The rest of the people didn't have the courage yet. Another person took out the pill and was about to feed it into his mouth when he heard the old man say, "Let's go."
He and his companions were stunned and looked up at him.
"Remember to collect the body," the old man said again, then ignored them, turned and walked towards the pillar where the girl was hiding, twenty steps away to the right.
One person suddenly had evil thoughts, rushed to pick up the crossbow, and shot it towards the old man's back as quickly as possible.
The crossbow arrows were easily dodged by the old man, and he walked towards his disciple without turning his head or even glancing at him.
The attacker gritted his teeth and his face turned ugly.
The companion beside him helped him up and said, "Let's go."
"Remember to collect the corpse." The old man turned his back to them and said again.
After the old man passed by, Xia Zhaoyi asked, "What happened?"
"One person takes poison," the old man said.
