He Zhen's eyes were burning, and he kept staring at the path in the distance - there were many branches and leaves in the forest, and some of them were always blocking the view, which was indeed an obstacle for them to go deeper.
But this does not hinder He Zhen's progress.
The opponent is at the end of its rope. As long as they withstand this wave of attacks, they can kill the opponent completely and completely defeat the opponent physically and mentally.
But will it really be so smooth?
——
"Um?
Is there any movement?"
Suddenly, as everyone was advancing steadily, there was a sound similar to arrows being fired in the jungle ahead. Someone exclaimed. Naturally, most of the soldiers immediately raised their shields to protect their bodies. But the problem was that after a while, there was no one.
No arrows struck, and no one was attacked.
This feint made many people suspicious, and everyone relaxed their vigilance.
But at this moment——
"No! It's not in the forest! It's above!"
He Zhen's exclamation shocked everyone, but after all, it was just a slightly slow reminder after he discovered it——
Rumble…
Huge tree trunks rolled down the hillside, with several branches in their faces, showing no signs of slowing down.
At this moment, the army led by He Zhen had become much slower because it had put on armor, and because it missed the best opportunity to escape——
He Zhen showed a face of hatred, but after gritting his teeth, he could do nothing. He could only duck into the bushes on his own, and then hoped that his colleagues behind him could move faster to avoid being too injured by the giant tree.
But he never thought that this wave of rolling log traps was just the first round of planning carried out by Ying'er, Ning'er and others to carry out his beheading operation.
...The giant logs rolled across the uneven ground. Because of their high momentum, the route of action was even more unpredictable. Some of the logs were extremely fast and only hit small rock protrusions on the ground, causing them to bounce high into the air.
, the tree trunk was so thick that it almost took two or three adults to open their arms to surround it, and it fell straight down with a terrifying weight. The cavalry who were hit were crushed into meat patties without even struggling.
Not only that, because the rolling logs kept coming one after another, He Zhen, who had dodged early, had to separate from his team. He only took his deputy and a few people to escape to the side - and he was about to get further and further away from the team.
"hiss…"
Seeing the tragic death of his subordinate, He Zhen's thoughts were a little confused. He seemed to realize that something was wrong, but before he could really react, the roar of the deputy beside him dragged him back to reality.
"Commander! Be careful of hidden arrows!"
"Tsk, damn it..."
Fortunately, although his brain didn't turn around, the habits He Zhen had developed over the years made his body move extremely quickly.
Driven by his reflex nerves, he immediately raised his arm and blocked the shield in front of him - puff puff, puff puff, several dull sounds came from the shield. He Zhen was shocked that the power of the arrow was very different from before.
Not to mention his numb arm, an arrow actually penetrated the shield completely. If he hadn't tilted his head, he would have been hit by the arrow at this moment.
A sense of crisis suddenly struck, and He Zhen finally understood the reason for the strangeness:
"No! Meet the army quickly! Their target is me!"
He Zhen gritted his teeth and quickly ran out with the confused deputy general and others, intending to immediately dodge to the other side of the log separation.
However, how could Ning'er and Ying'er let go of the prey that had fallen into the trap so easily?
"Want to escape?
It’s too late!”
In the dark, Ning'er's eyes couldn't help but reveal a sharp look. Different from Ying'er's intelligence, Ning'er used to be a lively and cheerful girl. She was always carefree and smiling, as if she didn't have any scheming, but in fact it was not the case.
——
Between Ying'er and Ning'er, Ning'er was stronger and more scheming from the very beginning. However, Ying'er's image and personality were more suitable for being the one who gave orders and communicated with outsiders, so Ning'er would be the main one.
The position was given to Yinger.
Just like she did in Jackal Guard.
But when the critical moment came, Ning'er's determination and action were the key to supporting the two of them.
For example now...
"Go and stop them!"
"It's up to us to end this!"
She turned around and said to the companions behind her who were ready to die. Everyone understood and immediately blended into the night and killed the enemy army driven away by the rolling logs - this time, they were almost certain to die, but everyone
They have no regrets, because they know that Ning'er and Ying'er will let them die well!
The moment she issued the order, Ning'er endured the severe pain and looked at Ying'er beside her.
And in the next moment, Ying'er quickly cut off a rope connected to an unknown place beside her——
Click...
The rope broke, and He Zhen, who was about to rush out in the distance, also caught this subtle sound. While he was alert and confused, something extremely unexpected happened to him——
There was a loud bang, and his feet instantly lost support.
For a moment, everything in front of him collapsed, and he and the frightened lieutenant, who had lost their footing, fell towards them wailing.
It turns out that this place is a steep cliff.
Ning'er and Ying'er had prepared such a large trap a few days ago. They were just waiting for the enemy to arrive and would use this trap to kill a large number of enemies.
However…
But now, this trap was only used on He Zhen. It can only be said that He Zhen was very lucky - if Ning'er Ying'er was not forced to a dead end, this trap would have only been used on his subordinates.
But...it's too late to say anything now.
He Zhen, who was the first to land on the steep cliff, immediately realized that he had been ambushed again.
Feeling the fall of his body, he turned around forcefully, only to see the valley bottom very close to him - if he really fell on the rocky beach at the bottom of the valley without any support, he would definitely die.
At this time, He Zhen's desire to survive burst out. It had nothing to do with his loyalty, but only with his own life safety.
So he did something that no one else could imagine.
"Commander! Ahhh! I caught it!"
The fall stopped abruptly, and the deputy's frightened voice came from above.
He was lucky enough to grab a dead branch protruding from the rock wall, and he also desperately hooked He Zhen beside him.
For this reason, his arm hanging on a dead branch has been completely dislocated——
He Zhen was shocked by the current situation and couldn't help but look at the abyss beneath him - it was at least a few dozen feet away. Although there was a stream at the bottom of the valley, the stream was not enough to withstand the impact of the two of them.
The key is…
"Commander! I...I'm about to...I can't hold on anymore..."
The deputy almost wailed and said these words. He felt that his right arm was about to be torn off. His mind was blank. How could he do anything else?
But he can't do anything, doesn't mean He Zhen can't do anything -
"Do not worry…"
"ah?"
"I will avenge you..."
He only heard He Zhen mutter these words below him, and then he felt a pair of hands tearing hard——
His arm was broken, and as he continued to fall, he looked at the arm hanging on a dead branch in the distance, and he couldn't even feel any pain.
only…
Only the man holding him tightly under him made the last look in his life look extremely desperate.
