Astral Apostle Chapter 9: Return

Someone attacked!

Zhou Jing's spirit was instantly condensed, the speed of dozens of arrows seemed to slow down, and the flight path of each one became clearly visible.

Sharp bony arrow clusters, dark shafts, quivering tail feathers...

Damn, I have injuries on my body, and my actions can't keep up with my thoughts!

It was too late to escape the coverage of the arrows. Zhou Jing could only drag his injured and weak body and try his best to dodge towards the area with the fewest arrows. .

Clang! clang! puff puff puff——

The arrows shot towards the neck and legs were sent flying, but three more arrows broke through the knife circle. With a sound of piercing flesh, sharp bone arrows penetrated the body.

First it was cold, followed by severe pain, Zhou Jing almost lost his strength.

Although this physical fitness is good, it is not enough to support him to instantly block the five arrows shot at the same time, not to mention that he was injured before.

My own weapon mastery of hunting knives and daggers is only at the beginner level. Although it is not unfamiliar, it is not enough to complete more difficult operations.

With one weapon in one hand, two bone arrows can be accurately squared, which is already a highly focused performance.

At the same time, there were also sounds of arrows hitting the surroundings, mixed with the screams of two or three hunters.

"Sneak attack! It's the Earth Skeleton!"

"When did they come?!"

I saw that in the shadowy woods, groups of Earth Skeletons appeared in the dark, barely swept away fifty people, holding black short bows in their hands, pouring down arrows.

This group of Earth Skeletons... seems to be the group that they were scared to retreat after they failed to attack a few days ago.

Everyone recognized the origin of this group of Earth Skeletons, and they were shocked and angry.

At such a time!

It must be because the hunting movement just now was too loud. The fire light went out far away, and the roar resounded through the forest, attracting the nearby Earth Skeletons.

It is also possible that this group of Earth Skeletons have been following quietly looking for opportunities, keeping a distance from being discovered, and when they realize that we are fighting against alien beasts, they wait for both sides to suffer, and then launch an attack brazenly, to take advantage of the emptiness!

The existence of the White Spider Monsters is also a threat to the Earth Skeletons living in the forest... This group of Earth Skeletons deliberately waited for us to deal with the White Spider Monsters and removed the threat before they chose to do it!

"A bunch of despicable little beasts!"

The crowd was furious.

A few days ago, the hunters were not at all cowardly, but they just hunted the White Spider Monster and sacrificed three companions. And Baron, who was the most seriously injured, said that he was fine, but in fact he was about to lose his strength.

Whoosh whoosh!

The arrow rain attack was too sudden, and everyone was caught off guard when handling the spoils. Including Baron, a total of four hunters were hit by arrows, and the most one was hit by seven arrows.

Only the other three survived because they stood farther away.

"Escape into the woods!!" Baron shouted violently.

In order to dig crypts and traps, and to facilitate the rain of arrows on the alien beasts, they deliberately chose a relatively open space. The trees are not so dense, but now it has become their disadvantage.

Only by escaping into the woods can you use a large number of trees as cover to block the arrows of the skeleton people.

The crowd couldn't even take care of the loot and the corpses of their companions, so the girl ran away.

The two hunters with the most arrows were too seriously injured to run. They were hit in the back by the next wave of arrows and fell to the ground.

Zhou Jing had three arrows stuck in his body, and every step he ran brought piercing pain.

He suddenly noticed the arrow whistling behind him, and threw his teeth aside.

Duh duh!

Seven or eight arrows were immediately inserted into the ground where it was originally located.

During the dodging process, his back and shoulder blades hurt, and he was hit by two arrows, which made him gasp.

After being blocked by the arrow rain, when Zhou Jing got up from the ground, the Earth Skeleton Man who was at the forefront was already approaching, and the bone knife stabbed fiercely, cutting his heart.

Zhou Jing endured severe pain and loss of strength, fighting with two swords.

Boom!

Hunting knives and daggers staggered, jamming the bone knife.

Then he raised his left hand with a wave, and the dagger wiped away the Earth Skeleton's neck without any hesitation.

Blood spurts!

Even if he is injured, his physical strength is still much stronger than these scrawny Earth Skeletons.

Although the Earth Skeleton Man is a human structure, Zhou Jing has no hesitation.

When I was hunting alien beasts just now, it was as if a switch in my heart had been turned on, as if the shackles of a stable life had been untied, and a bad breath swayed in my chest.

Zhou Jing's right hunting knife was inserted straight into the eye socket of the skeleton man, and the knife pierced through the enemy's head.

Pfft!

He drew his knife out, and brought out a stream of blood mixed with white pulp.

But even if he killed the enemy in an instant, his footsteps stopped for a while.

In his field of vision, the Earth Skeleton fell, revealing three or four Earth Skeletons behind him, as well as more Earth Skeletons chasing after him.

'You can't turn around, if you turn around, you'll be stabbed to death...'

Zhou Jing understood the situation in an instant, and while retreating, he clenched his swords tightly, preparing to face more skeletons head-on.

At this moment, a heavy wind whistled past.

Phew!

I saw Baron's giant axe spinning and flying out, smashing into the skeleton team with a mighty force.

Boom Boom—

The few skeletons in the front couldn't dodge and were smashed right in the face.

For a time, the stump and the broken arm were flying all over the sky!

When fighting against alien beasts, the performance is not obvious. When shooting against mortals, it shows the crushing power of alien blood warriors against mortals.

"Go!"

Not far away, Baron shouted at Zhou Jing.

The physical strength of the alien blood warrior is far beyond that of ordinary people. Baron was injured the most, but he was still the fastest. He ran to the front, but when he turned his head and saw his companion in danger, he stopped and threw himself without hesitation. The weapon, unfortunately, only had time to resolve Zhou Jing's danger.

It's just that Baron threw the weapon with all his strength, affecting his body with injuries, his physical condition further deteriorated, and he almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Griff and another hunter, who happened to run to him, grabbed his arms from left and right, and dragged him to run away.

The front skeletons were smashed into rotten flesh, and the skeletons behind were frightened.

Zhou Jing didn't dare to hesitate a little bit, and took advantage of the opportunity created by Baron, turned around and ran.

A few seconds before the next wave of arrows from the Earth Skeleton Man, he finally rushed into the woods with the surviving hunters.

Du Du Duo - The dense arrows are pinned to the tree that has just run by.

With the shelter of trees, the threat of the Earth Skeleton's arrow rain is greatly reduced.

Zhou Jing ran wildly through the forest with Balon and the others. He didn't know how long he had run, and the shouting and shouting behind him gradually faded away.

But everyone didn't dare to stop and rest, and after emergency treatment of the wound, they forced their exhausted bodies and continued to run away with great strides.

After running for a while, they confirmed that the Earth Skeletons were not chasing after them, and then everyone finally stopped.

"Are... safe?"

Griff gasps violently.

Zhou Jing was also panting rapidly.

Baron plopped down to the ground, coughed violently, and spewed **** droplets.

His weapon has been thrown and apparently cannot be retrieved, and he is now empty-handed.

"These Earth Skeletons are despicable and shameless! Sooner or later, they will be destroyed and their nests will be burned!"

Griff thumped the tree trunk angrily, his face full of grief.

With the loss of two more companions, only half of the hunter team remains, which can be described as a heavy loss.

"Cough cough... Let's talk about this later." Baron couldn't stop coughing and was weak, pointed at Zhou Jing, and said intermittently: "Thanks to you this time, you saved us."

"Didn't you save me?" Zhou Jing panted, a little puzzled.

If it wasn't for Baron throwing his axe to force the skeleton man back, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

Griff took a deep breath and explained: "We originally wanted to use the delaying method to kill the White Spider Monster, but if the Earth Skeleton attacked and we hadn't dealt with the alien beast, we would be killed by the front and back. Flanking, then it's dead... Fortunately, you killed the White Spider Monster in advance, otherwise we might not survive alone."

From the hunter's point of view, they could see the role played by Zhou Jing.

If they didn't bring this Will Wood along the way, they would follow the original plan and fight with alien beasts for a long time, and the **** would be stolen by the skeleton people without being aware of it. That would be a situation of annihilation. .

Just thinking about the scene of being attacked by two groups of enemies, everyone was terrified.

It can be said that Zhou Jing saved their lives indirectly. Although people may not realize how much help he has helped, the hunters cannot pretend that nothing happened.

"You saved us, this kindness, we will keep in mind."

Griff looked serious.

It turned out to be this... Zhou Jing let out a sigh of relief.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case. If they didn't meet him in the middle, the original trajectory of this hunter team might have been completely destroyed in the forest.

Zhou Jing gasped for a while, then shook his head:

"No need, we are helping each other..."

After just half a sentence, his eyes twitched, top-heavy, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone was startled.

Griff hurriedly squatted down, checked Zhou Jing's body, and soon found clues, shocked and angry.

"The group of Earth Skeletons smeared poison on their arrows, and the poison erupted!"

The other two who were not hit by the arrow were shocked, and hurried to check the situation of Baron and the shot hunter.

I saw the Arrow Hunter leaning against the tree without making a sound. He had passed out of a coma, his whole body was hot, and his head was covered in cold sweat.

Baron waved his hand, his face was pale, and he tried to cheer up: "Take care of them first, don't worry about me, my body is different from yours, I can stand it."

In front of Zhou Jing's eyes, Venus was flying, and everything in his field of vision became blurred. He only felt the pain in his body intensified, and a wet, scalding heat filled his chest, as if the lungs were bleeding, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Originally, the poison didn't strike so quickly, but running all the way to promote blood flow, the poison of the arrow was like a volcanic eruption, which not only deepened the poisoning, but also caused the injury to deteriorate rapidly.

"Brother, hold on, don't fall asleep!"

Griff shouted anxiously and kept patting Zhou Jing's cheek.

Zhou Jing tried to keep his eyes open, trying to stay awake, but after holding on for a while, his consciousness gradually became dizzy and fell into a coma.

…

In the hazy consciousness, Zhou Jing vaguely felt that he was being carried on his back, and he stopped and walked, ups and downs.

Someone seems to be anxiously shouting the name "Will Wood", again and again, sometimes saying "we're almost there" and sometimes "hold on".

Everything can't be heard clearly, as if there is a layer of medium, as if hiding under the water, listening to the sound coming from the water.

Zhou Jing woke up intermittently, and each time he quickly fell back into a coma. He didn't know what happened outside, and how much time had passed.

Until a certain moment, he suddenly became conscious and became sober again~IndoMTL.com~ Bass!

The angle of view suddenly leaves the body, as if consciousness were lifted into the air.

He overlooked that the body of "Will Wood" was being carried by Griff, while Baron, who claimed to be able to withstand it, and another hit arrow hunter were carried by two other hunters who were not injured.

The three of them carried one person on their backs, staggering and marching through the forest.

In the next second, the figures of these few people quickly became smaller in the field of vision. Zhou Jing's angle of view gradually increased. He crossed the canopy and overlooked the forest from a high altitude. The scene he saw suddenly turned into an endless dark green forest.

This is the edge of the forest, and outside the forest, a village with smoke curled into view, too far away, can't see it, it is the direction Griff and others are heading...

Before Zhou Jing could think about it, a familiar attraction came from overhead.

He looked up and saw a radiant crack quietly opening above.

It was the fissure that sucked him in when he came, the bottom of his feet when he came, and the top of his head when he returned.

Zhou Jing's body lightened, and with a swish, he was sucked in by the crack.

It is the familiar streamer channel, the familiar colorful... The difference is that when you come, you fall, but when you return, you rise.

And at the end of the ascending passage, the starry space loomed and gradually became clear.

At the same time, a flood of information flooded into my mind.
