Only then did Chu Jianghe find out that Mr. Ji actually possessed psychic skills. Psychic skills were a spell that allowed communication between creatures with psychic powers. They could cross species. He thought to himself that this guy was by no means an ordinary warden. He was also a man with hidden powers.
Fortunately, Zhang Chi saved him. Without Mr. Ji, he and Zhang Chi would have struggled alone in Netherworld Ruins.
They obtained weapons and equipment and two horses from the two black knights they killed, and they also rescued some dry food from the house.
Zhang Chi came to another horse and without saying a word, he just pulled the reins and got on the horse. He had worked in Tianting in Tianma Garden before, and Tianma could be tamed. These horses in Netherworld Ruins are just better than the horses in the mortal world.
If you have more spiritual energy, it will be no problem.
Among the three, the one with the best riding skills was Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi got on his horse and Mr. Ji and Chu Jianghe rode on the same horse. There was no choice. At least for now, Chu Jianghe could not control the mount alone.
Chu Jianghe asked Mr. Ji for his opinion, where should they go now? Mr. Ji said, "It's better to listen to Zhang Chi."
Zhang Chi said: "Follow their marks and catch up."
Chu Jianghe reminded him: "Catching up means meeting those ten people head-on. Do you want to save those old, weak, women and children?" He became more and more convinced that Zhang Chi was a good person, and Chu Jianghe did not agree with the kindness of women.
, under the current situation, we should choose to protect ourselves wisely rather than risk our lives through military means.
Zhang Chi said: "The three of us don't understand the situation here. Those people who escaped are definitely not seeking death. If these black knights catch up with them, they will definitely start a massacre. I think the three of us still have some chance of winning."
Chu Jianghe said: "If we save them, those villagers will repay our kindness."
Zhang Chi said: "I don't know if they will repay the favor, but I think this is an opportunity for us, not to mention that the little girl helped us."
Mr. Ji looked at Zhang Chi quietly and secretly praised in his heart that Zhang Chi did indeed have a far-sighted view than Chu Jianghe.
Chu Jianghe nodded, shook the horse's reins with his right hand, and followed the horseshoes left by the black knights in pursuit through the wind and snow.
Two horses were riding side by side in the ice and snow. The marks of the sled and the horses' hooves on the ground were very clear. These marks made tracking very easy. There was a shrill whistle above their heads. When they looked up, they saw several gray streaks in the air.
The shadows passing by were the evil owls that Mr. Ji mentioned. One of them flew very low. The evil owls looked like vultures, but their feathers were all gray and they were larger. Their wingspan was visually over three meters.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Ji, are they really not going to attack us?"
Mr. Ji said: "I don't know, but the information I read said that evil owl are only interested in dead people. Their sense of smell is very sharp and they can smell the breath of death."
Zhang Chi's heart sank. In this case, the villagers who escaped had probably been overtaken, and there should have been casualties, so these evil lords rushed over.
There were bursts of shouts of death coming from the front.
In a naturally formed snow pit, more than a dozen villagers were overtaken by black knights. Although the villagers also had weapons, the disparity in strength between the two sides was so great that five of them were killed on the spot.
The hunchbacked old man was protecting Xiao Hongying and the other two children. A knight in black rushed towards them with a sword and a leaping horse. The hunchbacked old man waved his hands, Peng! The snow in front of him burst open, revealing a trench half a meter long.
, seeing that his mount was about to stumble and fall into the trench, the knight in black lifted the reins with his left hand, and his mount jumped into the air, crossing the trench easily.
The old man slapped his hands on the snow, and a wall of snow rose up two meters in front of him. The old man shouted: "Xiao Hongying, take your brothers and run away first!"
The three children turned around and ran away.
The horse's hooves shattered the snow wall, and the knight in black waved the long knife in his hand and struck the old man on the head.
call out!
An arrow was shot from behind and went straight to the neck of the black knight. The flaming arrow penetrated the black knight's throat and then exploded. The explosion of the flaming arrow was so powerful that it completely blew up the upper body of the black knight.
The mount was frightened and fled with half of its body.
Zhang Chi was the one who shot the arrow. Although Chu Jianghe's shooting skills were accurate, his riding skills were poor, and the arrow missed the target. However, he missed the target by mistake and hit the snow between the two knights in black. The flames
The arrow detonated on the snow, sending ice and snow flying. The shock wave caused by the explosion knocked the two horses to the ground. The two knights in black also fell to the snow with their mounts. The villagers who had been sitting back and waiting for death saw this opportunity and immediately took it.
He rushed forward with the steel fork and stabbed the steel fork into the knight's neck.
The knight in black grabbed the steel fork and twisted it off, then punched the villager in the face. The full blow directly penetrated the villager's head, and a bloody fist protruded from the back of the villager's head.
Unlike these black knights, the villagers are all ordinary flesh and blood.
Chu Jianghe jumped up from his horse, and before he landed, he shot three arrows in succession. The three arrows hit three targets, and explosions were heard one after another.
Immortal Zhang has excellent riding skills. He controls his mount to rush through the enemy group. The black knight who has just fallen off his horse has just climbed up from the ground. Zhang Chi rides the black horse and rushes over. The black horse's powerful hoofs directly step on the black knight's face.
.
The black knight was kicked to the ground. The horse stepped on the black knight's body and continued to run forward. The black knight had a strong physique. Although he fell, he was not seriously injured. He immediately got up from the snow and let out a roar because of his rage.
He turned around on horseback, bowed like a full moon, and shot an arrow at close range.
The flaming arrow shot into the black knight's open mouth, and the flaming arrow hood exploded. The black knight's head was blown to pieces, and black blood and smoke rose up from the broken cavity.
After the three people joined the battle group, five black knights had been eradicated in an instant. The situation of the battle immediately reversed. The surviving ten villagers and Zhang Chi's party joined forces to launch a siege on the remaining five black knights.
The old man was mumbling words, and ice spikes like tree roots and bamboo shoots suddenly appeared on the snow. A black knight was unable to rein in his horse, and he and his horse rushed into the ice spikes. The ice spikes suddenly grew and pierced into the bodies of the black knight and his mount.
Two villagers rushed forward and chopped off the black knight's head with a knife.
Zhang Chi and Chu Jianghe aimed at a black knight at the same time. Two explosive arrows shot into the black knight's body almost at the same time. The power of the explosion was unprecedented. The black knight turned into a ball of black blood and dust in the explosion, and even the slightest bit of flesh was missing.
Not here anymore.
Zhang Chi said to the Chu River: "I'll save people first!"
On the snowy field in the distance, Little Hongying held the hands of her two younger brothers and ran forward as hard as she could. Behind them, a black knight galloped in pursuit, and he was already approaching.
Zhang Chi urged the horse to chase. As the black horse ran wildly, he reached out for the flaming arrows in his quiver, but he missed it. He was only focused on killing the enemy, but he didn't notice that the flaming arrows had been used up.
The Black Knight brandished his machete and rushed towards the three children, slashing them across the street. He showed no mercy to the children.
Immortal Zhang was beyond reach, and seeing a tragedy about to happen, the black knight's mount suddenly let out a long and rhythmic hiss, and suddenly nailed itself to the snow, its front hooves raised high, and the black knight was caught off guard and was overturned by the mount.
Unfortunately, it was Mr. Ji who took control of the dark horse in time.
Zhang Chi didn't know what happened, but the important thing was that the three children escaped. He jumped off the horse, put a horn bow around the black knight's neck from behind, and pulled the bow string backwards.
The black knight grasped the bow string with both hands. How could the relaxation give him a chance to fight back? With both arms, the tough and slender bow string cut the black knight's throat like a blade. Black snow mist flowed out from the wound on the black knight's neck.
.
Zhang Chi's right knee pressed hard against the Black Knight's back. He had already reached the second level of bone refining. The bones all over his body could be soft or hard. When soft, they were as soft as boneless. When hard, they were as strong as gold and stone. The body was refined with real fire.
The purpose is to forge the body into an indestructible weapon. After completion, every part of the body can become a deadly weapon.
The right knee was like a heavy hammer, hitting the Black Knight's lumbar spine. While the right knee was pushing against it, he used both hands to pull the Black Knight's shoulders back hard. There was a clear sound of bones shattering, and the Black Knight's lumbar spine was broken by Zhang Daxian.
When the black knight lost his resistance, Zhang Chi pulled out his sword and cut off the black knight's head with one blow. The head rolled to the ground. Before it could stop, a gray shadow swooped down from the air, and it turned out to be a huge evil owl, with its huge mouth open.
With his beak, he picked up the black knight's head in one gulp. His wings shook, and the strong wind blew up the snow. Zhang Zhang subconsciously blinked his eyes. When he looked again, the evil owl had already risen up again and tossed the black knight's head away.
When it came out, another evil owl opened its huge beak, caught it accurately, and with a click, bit the black knight's head into pieces.
Zhang Chi kicked the black knight's headless corpse away. Although the corpse had lost its head, it was still struggling on the snow. The two evil lords swooped down almost at the same time, each grabbing one of the corpse's thighs. They tore apart the black knight's corpse.
For two, the black blood mist spread everywhere, and the evil owl devoured the black knight's body and absorbed the flowing blood mist.
Seeing the scene in front of them, Xiao Hongying and her two younger brothers were so frightened that they collapsed on the snow and could not walk. A bold evil owl actually took the idea of these three children and swooped towards them.
Mr. Ji rode up to him and with a wave of his right hand, a blue aura of lightning shot towards the evil owl's head.
Bang! The blow hit the spot, and lightning flashed out for a moment, and the feathers on the evil owl's head were burnt to a crisp.
Mr. Ji said angrily: "Why don't you get rid of this evil obstacle quickly!"
Zhang Chi also rushed over and filled up his bow string in a posture to shoot. With a crash!, the evil owl was so frightened that he ran away. In fact, there was no arrow on Zhang Chi's bow string at all.
Mr. Ji smiled and said, "I'm really frightened."
The three children were so frightened that Xiao Hongying was still strong and did not cry. The other two boys started crying.
Immortal Zhang smiled and said, "Why are you crying? Are you boys worse than girls?" After saying this, the two boys forcibly stopped crying, but they couldn't control their body's reaction and still kept sobbing.
Seeing how painful they were holding it in, Mr. Ji sighed and said, "You can cry if you want to. Holding it in is not good."
At this time Chu Jianghe and the surviving villagers came over, Xiao Hongying's grandfather was also among them, and all three children gathered around the old man.
The old man touched the children's heads, turned around and glanced at the evil lords who were eating the corpses, and whispered: "Let's go! Leave this place as soon as possible."
Chu Jianghe originally thought that the old man would be grateful to them, but the old man didn't seem to see them, let alone thank him.
Chu Jianghe said: "Old man, where are you going?"
The old man said coldly: "What does it have to do with you strangers?"
"gone!"
The surviving villagers went to pack their sleds. When they were being chased just now, the sled dogs fled in all directions and no one knew where they went. The old man picked up the whistle hanging on his chest and blew it. He opened his arms and muttered something.
They saw more than a dozen sled dogs running towards them.
Zhang Chi only saw the old man's movements but did not hear the sound of the whistle. He secretly thought that the whistle should emit ultrasonic or infrasound waves, which dogs can hear but normal humans cannot.
Chu Jianghe came to Zhang Chi and shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Chi was not surprised by the old man's reaction. Maybe the old man thought they were the cause of this disaster. Seeing the group of people preparing to leave, Xiao Hongying got off the sled again, and she ran towards Chujiang River.
He handed Chu Jianghe a dagger, then turned around and ran away quickly.
Chu Jianghe looked down and saw that the dagger was wrapped in a layer of leather. When he unfolded it, he saw a map drawn on it. Chu Jianghe looked up and saw that the group of villagers had already driven away quickly on their sleds.
Chu Jianghe handed the map to Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji looked at the map under the snow light and said excitedly: "This is indeed the Netherworld Ruins! This is the map."
Zhang Chi leaned over and Mr. Ji was sitting on the horse, so he couldn't see what was drawn on the map.
Mr. Ji said: "You can reach the city through the cedar forest due north."
Zhang Chi said: "Is there a city here?"
Mr. Ji said: "There are many mountains, rivers and lakes, and Netherworld Ruins is also a small world."
Zhang Chi said: "The surrounding fields are so vast, how can we tell the direction?"
Chu Jianghe said: "I have a way." There was a small compass inlaid on the end of the handle of his dagger. They all brought the compasses with them, but when they arrived at Netherworld Ruins, they all failed. Little Hongying gave him the compass.
This looks good at first glance.
Zhang Chi got on his horse and smiled at Chu Jianghe: "That little girl likes you."
Chu Jianghe actually blushed at what he said, and spat: "If you are so shameless, how old are you?"
Zhang Chi said: "If we can't get out in ten years, won't she become a big girl?"
Chu Jianghe still rode with Mr. Ji, and there were two horses around him. Zhang Chi tied up the two horses, and then swept the battlefield to collect some weapons. In this strange world, they must be ready to fight at every turn.
