Start a mysterious island

Chapter 365: Twists and turns, an unexpected scene (two chapters in one)

"Made, there are so many people!" A guard suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw the figures in the grass, and shouted in surprise.

"Shoot an arrow." The guard captain made a decisive decision without hesitation, and immediately gave the order to attack to his companions.

The guards with crossbows in their hands immediately aimed at the distant grass and pulled the triggers one after another.

"call out."

"call out."

"call out……"

The arrows shot tore through the air, making a harsh sound, and instantly enveloped a large area.

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

"Pfft..."

The dense arrows that plunged into the grass hit their target, and shrill screams came from the thick grass.

"ah……"

"Fight back." The rich voice drowned out the screams coming from the grass, and then a series of tiny noises sounded in the grass.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

I saw the same rain of arrows shot out of the grass, hitting the guards hiding in the circular fortification.

"The robbers have counterattacked. Everyone, please avoid, fill up your arrows, and wait for my order to attack them..." As the commander, the guard captain saw the robbers fighting back in the grass and immediately shouted to his companions.

After hearing the reminder, the guards immediately knelt down and began to take out arrows from the quivers on the side and load them into the crossbows.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

At this time, the advantages of connecting the carriages end to end to form a circular fortification came to light. The guards hiding behind the carriage were not hit by the counterattacks of the bandits in the grass. The dense rain of arrows was all fell on the carriage.

"Illumination." A deep voice shouted in the grass, and then a ball of white light flew out from the grass, hanging dozens of meters high in the air, illuminating a large area like daylight.

The caravan manager, who was hiding in the carriage, looked at the situation outside through the window and found dozens of white light balls floating in the sky. The situation in the camp was clearly illuminated, and his face became bloodless. , a sudden paleness.

The grooms who gathered around the caravan manager's carriage were so frightened that they became weak and screamed again and again when they saw this formation.

"Shopkeeper Wu, what should I do?"

"Will we die here?"

"No! I don't want to die."

"If I had known that I would encounter such danger on my trip to Dongwu City, I wouldn't have come out even if I were beaten to death."

"Father, mother, I'm sorry, the child is unfilial and cannot support you until the end of your life."

The caravan manager who was hiding in the carriage was originally very scared. After hearing the cries from outside, the fear in his heart actually subsided a lot. He got out of the carriage with a serious face and greeted the crowd. said the people around the carriage.

"Shut up and be quiet. Didn't you see that Captain Wang is leading his brothers to help us resist the bandits? You are disturbing the morale of the army by crying like this.

By then, if Captain Wang and the others are defeated by the bandits because of their crying, none of us will survive. "

"Well..." After hearing the caravan manager's reprimand, the crying grooms immediately raised their hands and covered their mouths to prevent their cries from affecting the guards who were resisting the bandits.

"Don't worry, everyone, nothing will happen to us. Captain Wang and the others will definitely be able to defeat the incoming bandits..." The caravan manager saw that the people were no longer crying loudly, and then opened his mouth to encourage the frightened people.

The situation was just as the caravan manager said. The guards who were resisting the thieves were disturbed when they heard the cry from behind.

Suddenly, they heard the cry from behind disappear, and their troubled minds immediately calmed down. Then they followed the command of the guard captain with concentration and attacked the incoming bandits.

"Listen to my command...shoot the arrows." The guard captain saw that his companions had filled up their arrows and immediately gave the order to attack.

"call out."

"call out."

"call out……"

The dense sound of breaking through the air sounded again, shrouding the bandits hiding in the grass.

"Raise your shield, raise your shield quickly..."

"Fight back, shoot them for me..."

A thick voice sounded, and the bandits hiding in the grass raised their bucklers to resist the rain of arrows.

At the same time, they also used their few bows and crossbows to fight back against the attacking guards.

"Brother, the opponent has prepared enough arrows. It's not okay to continue to waste them like this!" A hoarse voice sounded in the grass.

The caravan manager came out this time and specially set aside a carriage to hold arrows. He did this because he was afraid that if he encountered bandits on the road, he would not have enough arrows to fight back.

At the beginning, everyone felt that the caravan manager's actions were a bit redundant. After all, a carriage was dedicated to loading arrows instead of loading goods, which was a big loss.

Now, as the caravan manager feared, he encountered a robber. At this time, everyone had enough arrows to attack the robbers. Everyone could not help but admire the caravan manager's decision.

"You Mad, how come this caravan has so many arrows? It seems like they can't shoot them all..." After a wave of arrows, a rich voice cursed.

"Brother, we don't have many shields. If we continue to stay here and let them consume us with arrows, we will lose a lot of people. In my opinion, let's just charge!" said the hoarse voice.

"Okay, after the next wave of arrow rain passes, we will launch an attack immediately." The rich voice responded.

Then, he gave the preparation order to his brothers, "Brothers, pay attention. After the next wave of arrows passes, everyone rushes with me."

"Okay, brother." The robber boy hiding in the grass responded one after another.

A guard with a light golden aura emerging from his ears listened intently to the conversation in the distant grass.

Although there was a long distance, he used the awakened power to strengthen his hearing and was able to hear the conversation between the robbers clearly.

"Captain, those bandits are planning to wait for our next wave of arrows to pass before launching a charge."

When the guard captain heard the information provided by his companions, his eyes suddenly condensed, and then he said to the other companions who were waiting seriously.

"Everyone, please pay attention. After the next wave of arrows is fired, the bandits will charge us. Everyone is ready to fight."

These guards escorting the caravan, as the guard captain said to the caravan manager earlier, they are all experienced professionals.

Facing a gang of robbers whose number was nearly twice theirs, although everyone looked solemn, they did not show any timidity.

"Made, damn robber, come on!"

"My ax is thirsty."

"I want to see whether these robbers' Tianling Gai is stronger or my mace."

The guards knew that after the next wave of arrows was fired, the bandits would charge, and everyone was gearing up for a big fight.

At this moment, under the hazy night, a large group of dark creatures were quickly approaching the battlefield on the shore of the lake, but the humans fighting were unaware of this situation.

"Fire arrows..." Following the command of the guard captain, a wave of arrows shot into the grass in the distance again, shooting many unlucky bandits to the ground.

"ah……"

The robber who was not directly killed by the arrow fell to the ground, covering the area where he was shot, and screamed in agony.

"Brothers, rush with me..."

After a wave of arrows, the bandit leader ignored the younger brothers who were hit by arrows and fell to the ground but were still breathing and could be saved. He raised the spiritual sword in his hand, shouted, and then took the lead and rushed out of the grass. go out.

"Kill, kill, kill..."

When the robber brothers saw that their eldest brother had rushed out first, they immediately shouted and rushed out of the grass.

For a moment, the sound of killing was loud, the momentum was like a rainbow, and it looked unstoppable.

"Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy..." The guard captain saw all the bandits in the grass swarming out, and gave the order to fight. He jumped out of the fortifications first. Seeing this, the guards followed.

The reason why they did not choose to hide in the fortifications and wait for the enemy to rush in was because there were many incompetent people hiding in the fortifications.

If the guards chose to stay within the fortifications to face the enemy, it would be easy to accidentally injure them.

In the business of escorting a caravan, the first priority is to protect the personal safety of the caravan members.

If all the caravan members died after the escorts defeated the incoming bandits, then their escort mission would have failed.

Such a failure would damage their reputation, and no caravan would dare to hire them to escort them in the future. Therefore, they had to go out to fight and protect the safety of the caravan personnel.

The white light balls hanging in the sky clearly illuminated the battle that was about to break out.

With their backs to the carriage behind them, the guards armed with weapons looked at the group of bandits who were attacking quickly with burning eyes.

The leader of the bandits was a muscular man with a broad waist and a height of 1.85 meters. He exuded mid-level second-level psychic energy fluctuations.

There were ten bandit leaders who were one step behind him, and each one had the psychic energy fluctuations of the first stage of the second stage.

Then there were more than a hundred bandits, twenty or thirty of them with cultivation levels from the beginning to the peak of the first level, and the others were ordinary people.

The strength of such a bandit gang, with more than forty practitioners as its backbone and nearly two hundred people, should not be underestimated.

One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters...

The bandit gang that launched the charge kept closing the distance with the guards who were preparing to fight.

When the distance between the two sides shortened to fifty meters, a sharp beastly roar that made people couldn't help but cover their ears suddenly sounded.

"Roar……"

The guards and robbers who were about to fight were stunned for a moment when they heard the sudden roar of a beast.

The bandit gang that launched the charge stopped and turned their heads to look in the direction where the beast's roar came from. The guards who were preparing to meet the enemy also looked over.

"Shashasha..."

There was a sound in the thick grass not far away. Under the light of the light balls in the sky, everyone saw an extremely huge figure moving in the grass.

"What a big guy." A bald robber had better eyesight and could see the huge creature in the grass more clearly than others. In an instant, he let out a horrified cry.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge creature crawled out from the grass. It was a super giant centipede with a body length of 25 meters.

If you want to use something to describe this centipede, you can use the green train on Blue Star as an analogy.

The body parts are connected together like train carriages.

After this giant centipede climbed out of the grass, it raised its body and looked down at the humans present. It exuded extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Oh my god! Second level high level, no, this is a strange beast that is about to break through to the second level peak, with second level high level cultivation."

The practitioners with second-level cultivation present opened their senses and immediately detected the huge centipede in front of them, and the extremely powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from it.

Ordinary second-level high-level alien beasts are already extremely terrifying, and this second-level high-level alien beast that is about to break through is even more irresistible.

At this moment, the guards and the robbers, who were about to have a fierce battle with each other, all gave up the idea of ​​fighting. The same idea came to their minds... to escape, and to escape with all their strength.

It is normal for everyone present to have this idea of ​​​​escape.

Because even if the total number of humans present is nearly 350, when everyone faces such a strange beast that is about to break through to the second level peak, even if they put aside their past grudges and work together, it is impossible. is its opponent.

Therefore, decisively choosing to escape is the most correct decision at the moment.

"Brothers, let's retreat..." The bandit leader turned around and shouted to his younger brothers.

"I'm going to die! Run away." The originally aggressive gang of robbers changed their previous appearance and ran away with frightened expressions.

"Captain, what should we do?" A guard asked the guard captain with a trembling voice, his palms constantly sweating.

"Let's go, we can't take care of the goods anymore. Let's take Shopkeeper Wang and the others and leave here quickly." The guard captain, who had a mid-level second-level cultivation level, acted like a bandit leader and decisively gave the order for all members to retreat.

And just when all the guards and robbers chose to escape, the giant centipede beast that was looking down at the human beings on the scene and was about to break through to the second level peak once again let out a sharp beast roar that stung people's eardrums.

"Roar……"

As this sharp beast roar came out, the grass around the battlefield shook and there was a rustling sound.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, a completely black creature with a body length of one meter and two, two long tentacles on its head, and a body segment by segment, with a pair of legs on each segment, emerged from the grass and attacked those present. , surrounded by humans preparing to escape.

Centipedes, lots of big black centipedes.

Under the illumination of the white balls of light in the sky, looking around, it feels like there are huge black centipedes all over the mountains and plains, numbering at least tens of thousands.

"We are surrounded by a swarm of centipedes. We are doomed now..." The escaping bandits saw that all the ways to escape were blocked, and they looked miserable and let out desperate wails.

"Brother, what should we do now?" The bald robber looked at the big black centipede that was approaching, and shouted to the thief leader in a crying voice.

"Back off, everyone back off." Faced with this situation, the leader of the thieves had no solution. He shouted to his brothers in a panic.

Next, an unexpected scene happened. The guard and the thief, who were originally on the same side and wanted to fight to the death, actually got together.

Everyone hid in the circular fortification formed by the carriage, and together they resisted the swarm of centipedes that surrounded them.
