Chapter 152 The beast tide recedes and the cavalry arrives
"Be careful in everything. If you can't do anything, run away and don't worry about me." Lu Dingtai gave the final warning.
"Don't worry, Master, I have a sense of discretion."
After saying that, Zhao Ya turned around and walked towards the battlefield.
Looking at his back, Lu Dingtai's eyes were full of love.
This young man is not only the only thought left to him by Junior Brother Meng, but he is also good enough in his own right.
The key is to act calmly and skillfully, so Lu Dingtai dared to let him go up and give it a try.
He knew that if he really couldn't beat him, Zhao Ya would give up without anyone else telling him.
Although this mandrill has been seriously injured, no matter how seriously injured it is, it is still a strange beast from the Five Realms.
It would be extremely difficult for Zhao Ya, who had just entered the Fourth Realm, to kill it.
Zhao Ya also knew this very well.
Therefore, he did not rush forward recklessly, but very cautiously swam around the mandrill.
At this time, the strength of this mandrill has dropped a lot due to serious injuries, but even so, the strong wind caused by his fists and feet is still frightening.
However, with the blessing of being as light as a swallow, Zhao Ya was still able to cope with it. Every time he seemed to be touched, he dodged it at the critical moment.
At the same time, the three people on the hill also noticed this scene.
A light flashed in front of the woman's eyes, "You two, this Japanese doll has been seriously injured. Why don't we go down together and get a bargain?"
"No, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. If Miss Gu wants to go, please feel free to do so." The honest man refused directly.
The woman looked at the young scribe again.
"Senior Brother Xu, can you come with me?"
The young scribe chuckled and opened the folding fan.
The rain stopped at some point, and he said slowly: "Junior sister Gu, there are still people fighting with the mandrill below, how about you wait a moment?"
A gloom flashed in the woman's eyes.
The reason why she insisted on inviting these two people to go with her was not that she couldn't deal with the seriously injured Japanese doll.
She just didn't want to be too conspicuous and get targeted by the Beast Taming Sect.
With these two people protecting him, the Beast Taming Sect would only hold grudges against three people.
And if the sects behind these two people were added together, even the Beast Taming Sect would have to weigh it up.
Unfortunately, this little thought of mine was easily seen through.
She could only chuckle and said: "Senior Brother Xu said it politely, but I see that the three warriors have all been seriously injured. The one who is fighting now is just a warrior from the fourth realm. Even if the Japanese doll has been seriously injured, it cannot be a mere four warriors." The environment can kill you."
"You have to see whether you can kill or not. After all, we are all outsiders in this matter. When all the warriors in this county are defeated and there is no one left to fight, it will not be too late for Junior Sister Gu to intervene if she wants to." The young scribe said calmly. .
The woman was filled with disdain when she heard this.
Why are you pretending to be an outsider?
Isn’t your purpose of coming here the same as mine?
It sounds high-sounding, but in fact it is just because he is afraid of being remembered by the Beast Mastering Sect again.
But on the surface, there was nothing strange about him, and he even smiled and nodded.
"Senior Brother Xu said yes, then just wait."
On the battlefield.
Zhao Ya turned sideways and avoided the mandrill's punch as if he was unable to do anything.
Immediately afterwards, the meteorite iron knife in Zhao Ya's hand moved from bottom to top, slanting against Mandrill's left rib.
The mandrill should have easily dodged the blow.
But this time, for some reason, the mandrill's movements were slow for a moment.
puff.
The light of the knife flashed, and a wound was opened on the mandrill's left rib, revealing the ribs underneath that looked like bone armor.
Zhao Ya's eyes lit up.
After fighting for so long, this is the first time that the mandrill has been harmed.
This also proves that the mandrill's injuries are getting more serious and have reached the point where it is affecting his reaction speed.
But just when Zhao Ya was secretly happy, the mandrill suddenly did something amazing.
I saw it suddenly stuffing back all the intestines and organs that had flowed out of the wound in its lower abdomen, then turned around and ran away.
Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he couldn't help but feel reassured.
Since this mandrill ran away without a fight, it proved that it had indeed reached the end of its strength.
How long will it take if we don't take action now?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya was just about to run after him, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.
Because this mandrill runs too slowly.
You must know that although this mandrill's reaction speed has slowed down a bit, it is not running so slowly.
It was as if he was waiting for something on purpose.
After the battle just now, Zhao Ya knew that this mandrill had a very high IQ and was even more cunning than ordinary warriors.
Is there some fraud in this?
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya secretly took out a few things and then chased forward pretending to be excited.
really.
As soon as he rushed behind the mandrill, he saw it suddenly turn around, and hit Zhao Ya's head with its fist that was ready to go.
This punch was extremely powerful. If it hit, not only Zhao Ya, but also Lu Dingtai would be punished.
But Zhao Ya was prepared for this. He had already stopped when the mandrill turned around.
When its shoulder moved, Zhao Ya threw the thing in his hand.
Bang.
Several clouds of white mist exploded in front of the mandrill.
The smell is very pungent.
It is the upgraded lime bag that Zhao Ya has treasured for a long time.
In fact, Zhao Ya has never used this thing since he entered the Half-Step Fourth Realm.
The reason is simple. With the growth of strength, the effectiveness of lime bags has become more and more useless.
Because all warriors who can advance to the Half-Step Fourth Realm are basically veterans for many years.
Trying to use it to deal with these people is tantamount to wishful thinking.
So Zhao Ya gradually gave up on this thing and just kept it in his luggage out of habit.
Unexpectedly, this lime bag actually came in handy this time.
It is indeed not powerful enough to deal with warriors, but it is perfect for dealing with this seriously injured mandrill.
as expected.
When the lime mist spread, the mandrill was choked and roared repeatedly, but the more it went on, the more uncomfortable it became, and it couldn't even open its eyes.
At the same time, Zhao Ya avoided the limelight, quietly sneaked behind the mandrill, and stabbed out with a sharp knife, aiming directly at the deformed monster on the mandrill's back.
Zhao Ya had long suspected that the real culprit of this beast tide was not the mandrill, but the deformed monster.
Even the mandrill is commanded by this monster.
Regardless of whether this guess was correct or not, Zhao Ya decided to kill the deformed monster first.
The knife was very fast, and when it was about to hit, the deformed monster suddenly let out a sharp cry like a baby crying.
The mandrill, which was disturbed by the lime mist, turned around desperately and tried to cover it with his own body.
Zhao Ya's eyes lit up.
I know that most of my guesses are right.
This mandrill not only obeyed its command, but was probably even parasitized by it.
So before the sword failed, Zhao Ya raised his hand and shot a sleeve arrow at the deformed monster.
The sleeve arrow flew through the air and was about to be nailed to the monster's forehead.
It suddenly opened its huge mouth and caught the sleeve arrow in one mouthful.
It's now.
Zhao Ya certainly didn't expect to kill the monster with one arrow.
All he wanted was to delay time and create opportunities.
In this limited time, Zhao Ya detonated the sea of blood stored in his liver without hesitation, and then slashed out with a knife.
This is an extremely fast knife.
It was also the strongest blow Zhao Ya had ever delivered since he started practicing martial arts.
Regardless of the aura or timing, including the power of the sword, Zhao Ya did the best he could.
On the hill, after seeing the sword, the honest man's eyes suddenly flashed and he blurted out: "What a sword!"
Although the young scribe and the woman were not experts in swordsmanship, they could still see the extraordinary nature of this sword, so they all fell silent.
puff!
The deformed monster let out a shrill scream like an evil spirit.
Zhao Ya felt relieved.
It’s done.
Everything can be faked, but the smooth feel of the knife tip piercing the monster's body cannot be faked.
At the same time, the mandrill also let out an earth-shaking roar, and slapped Zhao Ya's head with his palm like a cattail leaf fan.
Zhao Ya ducked down to avoid the blow, but the knife in his hand did not stop at all and struck him more than a dozen times in succession.
The vitality of this deformed monster was really tenacious. Even though it was pricked into a gourd of blood, it still did not die completely. Instead, it stared at Zhao Ya with extremely malicious eyes.
Zhao Ya was unmoved.
joke.
Zhao Ya had killed so many evil people, and none of them were filled with resentment before they died.
In comparison, this big-headed doll-like monster is still far behind.
As the deformed monster was seriously injured, the mandrill's movements also became much slower, and there was a hint of hesitation in its eyes.
At the same time, Zhao Ya flipped his wrist and slashed with his sword.
puff.
The neck, which looked slender but was actually as tough as a hemp rope, was cut off by Zhao Ya with a knife.
The huge head fell to the ground and rolled far away.
All of a sudden.
The entire forest fell into silence.
Then these strange beasts fled in all directions, as if they were waking up from a dream.
The mandrill regained its composure, with a look of relief on its face, and then collapsed to the ground, dying.
Zhao Ya leaned on the ground with his knife, breathing heavily.
Even though he had not fought with this mandrill for long, Zhao Ya was still very tired due to the huge gap in realm.
But the results are still gratifying.
The deformed monster lost its head and the mandrill died.
The huge herd of beasts that was originally so menacing now dispersed like birds and beasts.
The fashionable Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming helped Lu Dingtai, and the three of them staggered closer.
"Master, you two seniors, fortunately you have lived up to your orders. Both the mandrill and the monster have been beheaded," Zhao Ya said.
"Hahaha, cough, cough..." Lu Dingtai laughed first, and then coughed violently.
Shang Tiefeng slapped him on the back helplessly, "Okay, okay, I know your disciple is very powerful, stop laughing, be careful not to laugh at you again."
Lu Dingtai finally calmed down, "What do you mean by knowing that my disciple is powerful? My disciple is already powerful."
Shang Tiefeng looked helpless.
This Lu Dingtai is good at everything, but sometimes he is too protective.
While they were talking, the three people on the hill in the distance also had different expressions.
The honest man stared at Zhao Ya, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.
The young scholar shook his folding fan and smiled without saying a word.
The woman's face looked a little ugly.
She originally thought that Zhao Ya would never be able to kill the Japanese doll.
Unexpectedly, he actually did it.
This disrupted her original plan.
Why don't you go down and grab the loot yourself while these warriors are injured?
But when she looked at the two people next to her, the woman gave up the idea.
If it's easy for me to handle it, but with the two of them here, if I do it again, I will commit a taboo.
Although the world is in chaos these days, on the surface everyone still has to maintain some basic moral principles.
No matter what you do behind your back, no one dares to go too far on the surface.
of course there are exceptions.
For example, these demonic sects represented by the Beast Taming Sect are typical examples of doing everything possible.
I hope this guy doesn't know the value of these five realm beasts and Japanese dolls.
A woman can only pin her last hope on this.
But soon she was disappointed again
On the battlefield, Zhao Ya cut open the bodies of the mandrill and the Japanese doll very neatly, bent down to look for something, and quickly picked up two things from them.
Not only that.
Zhao Ya didn't even let go of the corpses of these strange beasts in the field.
Disciples from three martial arts schools cut open the corpses of each strange beast, looking for the meat field.
The results are also gratifying.
Soon they harvested more than a dozen meat fields, large and small, which was quite a harvest.
After cleaning the battlefield, everyone was a little happy.
After all, so many meat fields are a considerable fortune.
Such a generous reward also diluted the gloom caused by this battle.
"Senior Brother Zhao, is there anything else that needs to be cleaned?" someone asked.
Zhao Ya looked around the battlefield, and after making sure that nothing was missing, he shook his head and said, "No, we will pile the bodies of these strange beasts together later, and then light them on fire when the weather clears."
"yes!"
The rain had stopped long ago, but there was no kerosene around, and everything was very humid, so the only way to light a fire was to wait for the weather to clear.
Soon, all the corpses of the alien beasts were piled together.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do next?" Someone asked Zhao Ya again.
Today, Zhao Ya has even replaced Lu Dingtai and others and has become the backbone of the disciples.
In response, Lu Dingtai and the three of them just looked at each other and smiled without saying much.
"Back to the city!"
After Zhao Ya said that, he carried Lu Dingtai on his back.
Although Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming were also seriously injured, they could at least move around on their own, so they refused the disciple's offer to carry them on their backs and walked slowly underneath.
At this time, Zhao Ya glanced towards the distant hills intentionally or unintentionally.
"Brother, what's wrong?" someone asked.
"Nothing, let's go!"
Zhao Ya didn't say anything more, and strode away with Lu Dingtai, who had fallen asleep, on his back.
But he still had some doubts in his heart.
strangeness.
When I was fighting just now, I always felt like someone was secretly peeping at me in that direction.
But when I looked over, I couldn't find it.
Could it be on that hill?
But the distance is so far, is it possible?
Just when Zhao Ya was hesitant, a woman said coldly on the hill.
"Let's go, the battle is over, there's nothing left to see."
"Wait a minute!" The honest man suddenly called out to the two of them.
"Is there anything else?" the woman said angrily.
She has never seen anyone like Zhao Ya, who has not even spared a strange beast. It seems that her trip will be in vain.
"Listen, is there the sound of horse hooves?" the honest man said in a deep voice.
The two of them listened attentively when they heard the words.
really.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly outside the distant mountains and forests.
The young scribe's expression changed, "Could it be that a cavalry team was passing by?"
The honest man shook his head, "No, these hoofbeats are uniform and uniform. They have obviously been strictly trained, and there are many of them. They are definitely not ordinary horse teams."
Speaking of which, the expressions of these three people changed. They looked at each other and said, "Dayan Iron Cavalry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a military flag passing quickly outside the mountain forest, and then the cry of a messenger was heard.
"The Yan cavalry guards are here to help. Commander Wei has given orders. There will be no offense in Qiu. The people of the county and city should not be alarmed."
