Start with a red name

Chapter 138: Rock-Breaking Torrent, Canyon of Despair

Just as Xie Hang saw the rising red sun, Geng Xuan, who was at the other end of the gorge, also saw the opposite slope illuminated by the first light of dawn.

But he did not move and continued to wait quietly.

While waiting, Geng Xuan swallowed several blood-replenishing pills.

Soon, the medicinal power of the blood-replenishing pills filled his body.

Finally, the faint sound of horse hooves passed through the winding canyon and reached Geng Xuan's ears from afar.

Hearing the sound of swallowing behind him, Geng Xuan turned his head and took a look. He comforted the gang members whose expressions were tense and whose breathing became gradually heavier:
"Everyone, relax."

……

When Xie Hang and Geng Xuan saw the red sun rising and the light of dawn descending upon the earth, Wu Youxin and others who were riding their horses through the winding canyon naturally saw it as well.

However, because the canyon was too deep and too narrow, they could only see the morning sun shining on the high cliffs and barren hills above.

As they walked through the canyon, they seemed to be still walking in the darkness, and the cold night wind was still blowing around them.

Wu Youxin looked up at the sunlight shining on the distant barren hills and ridges, and said to the man riding a horse behind him on his left:

"Give the order to wait until we pass the Yixian Gorge and rest for two hours before setting off again."

"Yes." The man responded and reined in his horse to move aside.

As he dodged, another man rode forward and rode slightly to the left of Wu Youxin, ready to take Wu Youxin's orders at any time.

Soon after driving his horse into Yixian Gorge, Wu Youxin realized that the team was stretched too long, so he consciously slowed down the speed of his horse, shortening the distance between the front and rear of the Xuanyou cavalry, and also bringing him closer to the logistics convoy further behind.

Wu Youxin knew very well that for them, who were far away from their home turf of Anleji and Baiyuanji, the biggest weakness was this logistics team.

Not to mention, behind him is the sinister alliance of Santongji and Qingyuanji watching his retreat.

He would rather be more conservative, even more conservative, to avoid exposing any obvious flaws.

Wu Youxin, who was riding slowly, also took the opportunity to make arrangements for the next move.

Of course, he also saw the several open spaces in Yixian Gorge, with many signs of campfires and night camps.

This is certainly sufficient for a normal-sized caravan.

But it was too crowded for the huge team he led.

The team can only rest and recuperate after they have completely left Yixian Gorge and entered the open wilderness.

Lu Kuan, who was walking on the right side of Wu Youxin, said:
"Those rangers from 'Dongwuji' should be fighting with the silver transport convoy now. If we rest for two hours before setting off again, will this convoy be able to successfully return to Lifang?"

Wu Youxin said:
“It would be great if they could really delay the convoy’s movements and prevent it from returning to Lifang before we arrive.

But even if they failed to do so and the convoy successfully returned to Lifang, it would not matter.

We must not ruin our own rhythm because of this!
...Do you know what is the most taboo thing about our actions?

They are easily influenced by their opponents' situations and adjust their strategies at every turn."

Lu Kuan bowed sincerely and said, "Thank you for your advice!"

Although they had tried their best to shorten the length of the team, the three Xuanyou cavalrymen riding in parallel stretched the team to nearly a mile long.

The convoy of two cars running parallel at the rear extended the team by another mile or two.

The entire team, from beginning to end, was nearly three miles long, winding through a winding canyon.

Finally, when Wu Youxin, Lu Kuan and others turned a narrow road again and looked at the scene ahead, their moods all became cheerful.

The exit of Yixianxia is less than two miles away and can be seen from afar.

As they moved forward, the canyon became wider and wider. About a mile ahead was the widest area of the canyon, with bright sunlight even shining directly into the valley bottom.

Until the mouth of the canyon, the width of the canyon narrows again.

Through the narrow exit, the vast wilderness fully illuminated by the sunlight was clearly visible.

"Everyone, work harder. We'll take a break after we finish the last section of the journey."

Some riders have already loudly conveyed Wu Youxin's order to the team behind, injecting a strong momentum into the team again.

Wu Youxin rode his horse in front, and when he entered the most open area, the rising sun shone directly on him.

Hearing the shouts of the entire team from behind, he turned his head and looked back while riding on the tall Xuanyou horse, and saw that all the Xuanyou cavalry had already walked out of the narrow corner.

Following closely behind, convoys loaded with supplies have also begun to move out one after another.

Seeing the team marching in an orderly and strict manner, Wu Youxin inexplicably felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

He led the team forward another hundred or two hundred steps, and the gorge was just one hundred or two hundred steps ahead.

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came over him like a huge hand that suddenly appeared and grabbed his heart.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a fleeting black shadow in the brightly lit sky.

He instinctively raised his left hand to protect his forehead.

"when!"

The next moment, he felt his left hand with the armor sheath being torn apart, and a sharp pain as if his palm was pierced and torn instantly attacked his mind.

Faced with this sudden blow, Wu Youxin had no time to scream, or even to think about what was happening.

Because almost the next moment when his palm was pierced and torn, another fleeting black shadow had already hit his chest hard.

Wu Youxin only felt that his chest was hit by a meteorite falling from the sky.

The unrivaled speed, accompanied by unrivaled power, not only easily tore through the armor defense, but also forcibly tore apart the power defense that he quickly mobilized from all over his body.

When the swift blow collided with the power mobilized from all over his body, it was like triggering a fuse, and a surge of power, wave after wave, forcefully invaded his body.

His own strength was immediately shattered, and then it ran rampant in his body, "burning, killing and looting".

Completely in a daze, Wu Youxin only had time to exclaim "Wow" and spit out a lot of blood, and then he felt his feet leave the stirrups and his body flew high up.

"Oh!"

He crashed hard into another rider next to him.

"Snapped!"

Wu Youxin and the rider both fell to the ground.

From having his palm pierced through to being forcibly knocked off his horse and falling to the ground, Wu Youxin, who had been in a daze, finally came to his senses.

Wu Youxin, with blood still gushing out of his mouth, stared at the two heavy iron-feathered arrows that pierced his palms and chest, filled with shock and disbelief.

"Young Master was attacked!"

"Protect the young master!"

At this moment, the shouts one after another instantly filled the entire canyon.

Some people are in a panic and don’t know what to do;
Some looked left and right, searching for the murderer;
More people rushed towards where Wu Youxin fell to the ground and pulled him into the formation.

In an instant, the team was in complete disarray.

Wu Youxin's reaction to everything happening around him was very slow.

His eyes followed the direction from which the two iron-feathered heavy arrows came, and he saw a figure standing on a distant barren hill ridge, bathed in the morning sun.

The figure seemed to be drawing a bow, and when he looked over, the figure was just releasing the bowstring.

The next moment, a dozen tiny black dots came from far away.

Within a breath or two, those black spots came above the cavalry, dispersed, and fell rapidly towards somewhere in the crowd.

The black spot also turned into a black line in Wu Youxin's eyes.

"Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh..."

The sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh.

Obviously, they were much quieter than the panicked shouts in the canyon, but these subtle sounds seemed to strike directly into the heart, deafening all witnesses.

"It's over!"

When Wu Youxin saw this scene, his heart sank to the bottom and he murmured in despair.

He allowed the guards to take him into the formation without any resistance.

Also rushing into the formation with him was Lu Kuan, who was also attacked but also injured but not dead.

As well as two other powerful Marrow Refining Realm masters who were also attacked and injured but not killed.

Without exception, they are the strongest and most relied upon core of this Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

Although they did not die, they were all disabled by the sudden first wave of attacks.

Compared with the four of them, there is another person in the cavalry whose strength is just below theirs. He has reached the peak of the Bone Refining Realm and is able to remain undefeated even when facing attacks from ordinary Marrow Refining Realm masters.

However, he had already been hit by two arrows, one through the head and one through the heart, becoming the first person to die in this team.

……

Geng Xuan didn't know who Wu Youxin was, nor did he know who Lü Kuan was.

What's more, Wu Youxin was wearing full body armor and was impossible to identify.

He also doesn't need to know Wu Youxin or Lu Kuan.

He simply selected the five people with the brightest red names on their heads as the targets for his first attack.

When taking action for the first time, of course you have to target the most threatening and powerful person.

How to judge the strength of a person? In addition to those mysterious things like aura and power, Geng Xuan has a more convenient and intuitive reference.

Just sort from top to bottom based on the concentration and scale of the red names.

There may be some errors. After all, strong cultivation and heavy sins of killing cannot be completely equated.

But putting it in the team in front of him, Geng Xuan felt that the overlap between the two was at least 90%.

More importantly, this is the most convenient and intuitive for him.

In order to show respect for their strength, Geng Xuan assumed that they all had the cultivation level of the Marrow Refining Realm.

Therefore, he chose the more powerful iron-feathered heavy arrow.

Moreover, each target was "taken care of" by two arrows successively.

Because he assumed that every target had the cultivation level of the Marrow Refining Realm, Geng Xuan did not expect that the first arrow of the sneak attack would achieve decisive results.

It was because the sense of crisis of the Marrow Refining Realm was too strong. Even if he had the advantage of a sudden attack, they would be able to make some responses when the crisis approached.

Therefore, this first arrow is used as a "trick".

The second arrow that followed was his killer move that he had high hopes for. He hid the power of "Wanjun Jin" in it.

Once it collides with the opponent's force, it will be like a ignited explosive, immediately erupting with a terrifying force of sixteen times the force, running rampant in the opponent's body, trampling and plundering.

In order to ensure that the result could be as stable as possible, Geng Xuan chose the chest instead of the head with the second arrow.

Even if he achieves victory, for a strong man in the Marrow Refining Realm, he can only be injured but not killed.

But this was the best solution Geng Xuan could think of.

The heavy iron-feather arrow can not only carry more and stronger force, but due to its mass and weight, its kinetic energy far exceeds that of the iron-headed feather arrow, and its overall power is even more comprehensive.

The price is that Geng Xuan's energy consumption will be greater, and he can only hit ten arrows in a row at most.

This is the limit of what the copper-framed, iron-backed bow can support.

Because of this reason, when Geng Xuan suddenly attacked for the first time, he only chose the five with the most red names in the team below as his targets.

As he expected, four of them successfully blocked the first arrow's sneak attack at a relatively small cost.

Then, without exception, they were all pierced through the chest by the second arrow.

The powerful kinetic energy of the heavy iron-feather arrow, combined with the powerful "ten thousand jin force" it carried, turned them all into half-disabled people who were injured but not dead.

Only one was pierced directly through the head by the first arrow.

When the second arrow pierced his chest, he was already dead.

However, soon, as the canyon below suddenly became chaotic, with voices shouting "Young Master is under attack" and "Protect the Young Master", and rushing towards a rider in iron armor with pierced hands and chest, Geng Xuan had a rough idea of the results of this wave of attacks.

However, this did not affect Geng Xuan's subsequent performance in the slightest.

He was like a ruthless arrow-raining machine.

He did not choose the heavy iron-feather arrows that had fewer arrows in a row and consumed more energy. Instead, he used iron-headed feather arrows, shooting eighteen arrows in a row.

Every time an arrow is shot, it brings a rain of death.

Eighteen iron-headed feathered arrows fell, and eighteen unarmored riders were shot in the middle of their eyebrows and fell off their horses.

Faced with such a horrific blow, the cavalry, which had been thrown into chaos by the attack on their young master Wu Youxin just a moment ago, was completely at a loss and did not know how to respond.

I was completely stunned.

It was not until Geng Xuan launched the third wave of deadly arrows that the crowd screamed in terror.

"quick!"

"The armored knights escort the young master out of the gorge!"

The enemy was in a dominant position and had such terrifying shooting skills. They were at the bottom of the valley and were completely sitting ducks for the enemy.

The gorge ahead is right in front of us. With the speed of Xuanyou horse, we can rush out quickly with just a whip.

In this situation, even if you are faced with a straw, you must grab it and see if it can save your life.

Everyone made the choice that seemed most correct and most instinctive.

But before the armored knights could take action, Geng Xuan, who had completed three waves of efficient death harvest, only pulled out an iron-headed feather arrow this time.

The longbow in his hand shook, and then his hand, which had drawn the bow to full length, loosened its grip.

This iron-headed feather arrow was not shot at the crowd, but at a rock at the bottom of the 80-degree steep slope on the opposite side of the Chiwu Mountain.

The riders who had been nervously following the movements of this terrifying shooter were all stunned when they saw this scene.

The people closest to the front can see it most clearly.

The long arrow instantly crossed the void and hit a rock at the foot of the mountain that was as big as a human head.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, the stone turned into a pile of rubble and shattered into pieces.

Gravel flew everywhere.

The next moment, something happened that left them dumbfounded and terrified.

As the stone exploded, the steep slope, which originally seemed normal, spread like ripples.

It first started at the foot of the mountain where stones were shattered. The rocks around and above shattered into pieces of stone, the largest no bigger than an egg, and the smallest only the size of rice grains and peas, which flowed down like water.

As they flowed down like water, the rocks further up the steep slope lost their support, hung in the air, and then shattered.

Soon, this became an unstoppable trend.

However, in just a few breaths, the terrifying "crackling" sound of cracking rocks resounded throughout the canyon.

The shattered rock was like the shattered heart of every witness.

"Crash-"

Broken rocks poured into the canyon along the eighty-degree steep slope like a flood.

In the blink of an eye, the canyon entrance that was so close that one could rush out of it with a whip of the horse was no longer visible.

The narrow road ahead, which was more than ten meters wide and sandwiched between two mountains, disappeared in an instant.

In its place was a gravel mountain that was more than ten meters high even at its lowest point.

Moreover, the height and scale of this gravel mountain are rapidly expanding, and it seems that it will not stop until the canyon is filled.

While the people in the valley were still shocked by the torrent of broken rocks before their eyes, Geng Xuan, who had shot the rocks into pieces with one arrow, did not stop at all. He continued to draw out eighteen iron-headed feather arrows from the quiver handed to him by Hong Quan.

Then another wave of deadly arrows was poured into the cavalry.

Then, another wave came.

The two waves of death blows that followed once again awakened everyone whose emotions were in turmoil.

The riders who were closest to the gravel mountain, seeing it rapidly expanding in size and about to invade their sight, began to retreat quickly.

Some rode away on their horses, while others simply abandoned their horses and ran away.

For a moment, people and horses neighed in fear.

"Xilulu——"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Back off, back off, back off!"

"Run, run, run! Run!"

Some smart people immediately made the most correct choice based on the current situation.

Of course, there are also "not so smart ones".

"Fight him!"

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only one person!"

"……kill!"

Someone whipped his horse and charged towards the ridge where Geng Xuan was standing in a Don Quixote-like manner.

Someone abandoned his horse and hid in the ravine nearby, trying to avoid his sight.

There were also those who were like headless flies, without their own opinions, who passively made similar choices under their influence. For these warriors, without exception, they all received "special care" from Geng Xuan.

The moment they make their choice, they will be greeted with a special rain of arrows.

In order to ensure the efficiency of dealing with them, Geng Xuan would even bear the pain of shooting more arrows at each person.

A few people with nimble bodies took advantage of the protection of others' bodies and slipped into the nearby ravine.

Geng Xuan, who could not see them visually and could only judge their position through experience, would directly shoot five or six "tracking arrows" to cover the area where they were hiding.

Although more iron-headed feather arrows were wasted, the result was that the red gas that floated towards him showed that no fish had escaped the net.

When Geng Xuan "sprinkled" another wave of death arrows, no one would have any hope of survival anymore.

They each used their unique skills and rushed towards the narrow path they had just turned.

The reason why they ran for their lives like this was that, in addition to believing in their own means of escape, they placed greater hope on "probability theory".

No matter how terrifying the killing efficiency of that terrifying archer is, each wave of deadly arrows he "sprinkles" out always takes time.

With so many companions around him now, the probability of the next wave falling on him is not that high.

The longer you delay, the fewer companions you will have around you, and the probability of a rain of death arrows falling on you will increase dramatically.

Even death is certain!

At the beginning, perhaps only a few smart people figured out the key points.

But when a group of people appeared who gave up everything and struggled to escape, the others naturally understood under the "pressure" of the rain of death arrows behind them.

Those who don’t understand are dead.

Geng Xuan cooperated and deliberately spared the fugitives.

They specifically target those who "do not cooperate" and choose to find other ways to attack.

So, those who were still alive also followed suit and fled for their lives.

At this moment, as Geng Xuan was chasing him all the way, he and the "arrow-holding guards" Hong Quan and others who followed closely behind him had already left the ridge where they originally stood.

During this period, Geng Xuan also used the iron-feather heavy arrows several times to take away those people who were wearing armor and their movements were relatively slow, but they were not taken away by the iron-headed feather arrows.

——It’s not that no one tried to escape from the bottom of the valley, but to escape towards the barren hills on the right or the remnants of Chiwu Mountain on the left.

However, the slopes of the remaining ranges of Chiwu Mountain are too steep, making it impossible to perform.

On the other side of the barren hill was where Geng Xuan himself was, and there was someone who took the opportunity to escape into a ravine that he could not look directly at.

But soon, Geng Xuan only needed to cross one or two ridges to shoot through the enemy from a high position.

In such a short time, no one could escape his attack range.

It is better to blend in with the crowd and with the help of the magic of "probability theory", you will have a greater chance of surviving to the end.

As long as you are lucky enough, it is not impossible to survive and run out of the gorge from the other end.

In a blink of an eye, those who were fleeing for their lives had arrived at the corner of the narrow road.

……

Geng Xuan's first few waves of attacks were all directed at the group of riders riding Xuanyou horses closest to the gorge.

The chaos also started from here and spread to the rear.

Therefore, when Wu Youxin and others were attacked and seriously injured, and then Geng Xuan quickly poured down the first three waves of deadly arrows.

The driver, who had just turned the corner and was only focused on urging the horse to go faster, had no idea what was happening in front of him and was still pushing the carriage forward by inertia.

It was not until they saw a rubble mountain forming in front of them, filling up the gorge ahead, that they fully realized that something big was happening.

At this moment, the chaos of the Xuanyou cavalry had completely spread to the rear.

The first group of escapees were already approaching.

The road was already narrow and winding, and now with so many carriages stuck there, it soon became a complete blockage.

"Go away!"

"Stay out of the way!"

"..."

But no matter whether he turned around or dodged to the sides, he couldn't do it.

No matter how much those people shouted and cursed, the carriages just stopped there and couldn't move at all.

Faced with the hysterical attacks of those who were fleeing, the drivers seized the opportunity and quickly crawled into the horses' bellies and hid under the carriages.

Just as chaos was "accumulating" at this bend, Geng Xuan, who had been following slowly on the ridge behind, suddenly had his eyes move.

"This is the moment!"

Geng Xuan suddenly pulled out ten heavy iron-feathered arrows from the quiver held by Cheng Hui next to him.

Soon, ten heavy iron-feathered arrows flew towards several figures who were about to escape into a bend.

In the blink of an eye, just as the arrow broke through the air, flew across half of the void, and was about to hit the crowd.

A figure who was no different from the other fugitives the moment before, except that he had luckily avoided wave after wave of death arrows, suddenly accelerated and shot towards the top of the carriage blocking the road in front of him at a speed much faster than before, and was about to turn around and disappear around the bend.

But those ten heavy iron-feathered arrows seemed to have predicted the future, just when the man broke away from the crowd and was about to jump onto the carriage.

The ten heavy iron-feathered arrows flying through the air all drew a small arc in the air and scattered in several directions where the person might escape.

Just as this person landed his foot on the roof of the carriage and was about to use the force to slip into the corner.

Four heavy iron-feathered arrows hit the carriage almost at the same time.

The arrow missed.

An arrow grazed his left ankle as he was about to use it to gain leverage on the carriage.

An arrow pierced his right thigh which was raised in the air.

An arrow pierced his body diagonally from the waist and ribs.

"what!"

The man who was severely injured let out a scream, and under the powerful impact of the iron-feathered heavy arrow, his body lost control and crashed into the rock wall in front of him.

But before his body could actually hit the rock wall, another heavy iron-feathered arrow caught up with him and pierced his right temple.

The next moment, a heavy arrow with sticky iron feathers shot out from his left temple and was deeply nailed into the rock wall.

His body hit the rock wall belatedly, making a loud "bang" sound.

His body was suspended in the air, supported by a heavy iron-feathered arrow that had pierced his head. The remaining momentum of his body had not yet dissipated, and it was still swaying gently from side to side.

There is no doubt that this is also a strong man in the Marrow Refining Realm.

In order to deal with him, not only did Geng Xuan waste eleven heavy iron-feathered arrows, he also forced himself to endure it for a long time.

It was not until he seized the most appropriate opportunity to strike that he was able to take him down in one fell swoop.

From this attack, we can also see how difficult it is to launch a sneak attack with arrows against a well-prepared Marrow Refining Realm expert.

With his superb shooting skills and sufficiently "insidious" layout, he was able to take it down in a very dangerous way.

At first, Geng Xuan did not notice the Sixth Man hiding in the crowd, and did not know that he was the fifth Marrow Refining Realm expert in the cavalry.

Because compared to the five people he attacked first, including Wu Youxin and Lu Kuan, although the reputation on his head was very strong, if quantified by his luck, it was only about twenty points.

Such murder, among the group of people below, is really insignificant, even a little too ordinary.

The reason why Geng Xuan noticed him was because this person had "luckily" escaped his deadly rain of arrows three times in a row.

——It was not that he successfully dodged Geng Xuan’s arrow. If that were the case, Geng Xuan would have noticed him long ago.

But every time this person was able to leave the area he was targeting before Geng Xuan shot out his rain of deadly arrows, thus escaping his lock.

If it were someone else, he would have been able to get away with it in such a chaotic situation.

But who can blame Geng Xuan for having the Eyes of True Vision and extraordinary eyesight?

His continuous "good luck" exposed him to Geng Xuan's eyes.

This also made Geng Xuan realize that there was another Old Six in the Marrow Refining Realm who was trying to fish in troubled waters and get away with it.

Therefore, Geng Xuan simply took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the fact that this person had entered the most chaotic situation, with the least options and the closest corner to success, to completely kill his hopes.

In order to prevent this person from being alerted again in advance, Geng Xuan did not even deliberately lock on him when shooting the heavy iron-feathered arrow.

The target is not a specific person, but that area and every choice he might make.

Completely blocking his way.

All he needs to do is be hit by an arrow, even the slightest injury, which will only slightly affect his movements, and a truly fatal blow will follow immediately.

The result was better than Geng Xuan expected. Although this man had a premonition before the arrow hit him and took countermeasures, he chose the roof escape area which seemed to be the easiest to escape from danger, but was actually the area he had paid special attention to.

Geng Xuan's move this time completely crushed the last bit of spirit left in these people.

He looked at those figures who, regardless of everything, jumped onto the carriages one after another, using the momentum of the carriages to run away, completely exposing themselves to his arrows.

Geng Xuan already knew that these people had become so desperate that they had lost the last bit of their sanity.

In other words, their rationality had been completely shattered by Geng Xuan's ruthless attack.

Geng Xuan did not immediately rain down a rain of death arrows on these figures who did not care about being exposed or not and just ran away for their lives, allowing them to successfully escape from the convoy.

Instead, he focused his main energy on clearing out those figures who were hiding in the carriages.

During this process, the first four powerful Marrow Refining Realm warriors who were attacked but not killed were taken away and then abandoned one after another.

In addition to the "young master" Wu Youxin, there are three other powerful Marrow Refining Realm masters, including Lu Kuan, whose name Geng Xuan still does not know.

They were all ruthlessly abandoned before they could turn the dangerous bend while carrying their escaped people, and the last Marrow Refining Realm cultivator was nailed to the rock wall.

They were wounded but not dead, and they were roaring in despair.

They wanted to launch a final desperate struggle against Geng Xuan, who was looking down on them and bringing down a ruthless death blow.

Unfortunately, what greeted them was only a cold, iron-feathered heavy arrow.

Even though they sensed the danger, their severely injured bodies and slow reflexes prevented them from making any effective response. They were pierced through the skull by heavy arrows and fell to the ground dead.

It took Geng Xuan a lot of time to completely clear out the one or two mile long convoy.

This caused those who fled along the gorge towards "Dongwuji" to be several miles away from him.

After passing the last carriage, Geng Xuan did not immediately chase after those desperate people, but said to Hong Quan:

"You don't need to follow me from now on. Call the others over and control those who are still alive. Don't let them run around."

Yes, some people survived.

And not one or two.

These survivors were basically the team drivers who knew that they could not compete with the riders who were madly trying to escape. In desperation, they tried to escape by lying under the belly of the carriage.

As a result, many of them really succeeded.

As for the reason for their success, it is certainly not because their hiding skills are really superb.

The only reason was that the red names above their heads had not reached the "kill line" set by Geng Xuan in his mind.

Hong Quan, who probably guessed the reason why the gang leader did this, immediately responded and asked the two people next to him whose quivers had already emptied their quivers to stay and help him deal with the next step.

After making some simple arrangements, Geng Xuan, armed with a bow and arrow, continued to pursue.

Cheng Hui and others carried quivers and chased Geng Xuan hard.

Ask them how they feel now?
The only feeling they had now was that if they couldn't catch up with the leader before his arrows ran out, they would die.

……

Being carried by several Wu family members who were in the Bone Refining Realm, he ran wildly towards "Dongwuji", overtaking one fleeing person after another.

Wu Youxin finally managed to suppress the heart-wrenching power in his body - it was truly heart-wrenching, and he had no time to feel sad about the devastating blow he had suffered in such a short moment.

There was no time to reflect, as the so-called clues they found this time were actually a sinister trap carefully set up by someone.

He looked at the tribesmen who seemed to have completely lost their minds and were driven by the fear of death, running wildly along the canyon towards the direction of "East Fifth Collection", and endured the pain and whispered:

"Don't go forward, don't go forward!"

Several members of the Wu family who were running forward with his hands and feet held heard his voice and immediately turned to look at him.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

"Can you still hold on?"

One person was so overjoyed that he burst into tears and said, "Young Master, don't worry. Even if it costs us our lives, we will get you out of this dangerous place safely!"

At this time, because they were talking to Wu Youxin, their speed slowed down a little, and several waves of desperate people immediately overtook them.

Several members of the Wu family were immediately startled, and they grabbed Wu Youxin's hands and feet and accelerated as fast as they could.

The whistling sound of the wind passed by him. Wu Youxin opened his mouth several times, but the excruciating pain in his body made his words distorted and inaudible.

Apart from filling my stomach with cold air and making my body more painful, it didn't have any effect at all.

It was not until several members of the Wu family, accompanied by Wu Youxin, had left those waves of fugitives who had surpassed them behind them that they breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their speed, which had been pushed to the limit, a little, taking the opportunity to catch their breath.

Wu Youxin also took this opportunity to speak again. His face was distorted, and he gritted his teeth while enduring the physical and mental pain.
"Don't go any further, don't go any further!... Move aside, quickly, quickly!"

This time, several members of the Wu family finally understood what Wu Youxin was saying.

But they still kept walking with hesitant expressions on their faces.

They turned their heads to look at the terrain on both sides of the gorge.

The remaining range of Chiwu Mountain on the left is an almost completely vertical cliff.

The only options seemed to be the barren hills on the right and the ravines with slightly gentler slopes.

But previous lessons have shown that all the "smart people" who made this choice died.

Moreover, they all died very early.

Another thing is that they don’t have the ease and calmness of that terrifying shooter who can walk across the mountain ridges as if it were flat ground.

Although the slope of the barren hill on the right is much gentler than the steep cliff on the left, the steep slope of sixty or seventy degrees is enough to reduce their speed to less than half of its current level.

In that case, wouldn't you be using your own life to create more chances for others to escape?

Compared to all being buried in this horrific gorge, what they could not accept was that due to their foolish choices, they used their own lives to create a chance for others to escape!
Having simple ideas and being obedient are the most important criteria for Wu Youxin when selecting his confidants and even when forming the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

He doesn't need a group of subordinates with too many distractions and ideas.

But now, for the first time, Wu Youxin became angry about the selection criteria he set for himself.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots, there is a trap ahead, there must be a trap ahead.

The only way to survive is on both sides, hurry, hurry!"

He made his words so clearly that the Wu family members no longer dared to hesitate. They rushed into a ravine on the barren hill on the right and rushed up the 70-degree steep slope.

Compared to escaping in the gorge below, the speed was not only reduced by half, but had been reduced to less than one-third of the speed on flat ground.

At this moment, two black shadows suddenly jumped out from the right ridge, which they had not noticed at all.

The two black shadows that crossed the ridge swiftly and silently crashed into the legs of two Wu family members on the right who were holding Wu Youxin's hands and feet and running quickly.

Then, at least half a pound of flesh and blood was taken away from the right calves of the two members of the Wu family.

As they screamed and fell to the ground, rolling down the slope, two large dogs with blood in their mouths rushed into the ridge on their left at a faster speed.

“Dog, dog, dog!”

someone exclaimed.

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!"

Wu Youxin lost his balance and fell to the ground, rolling down the slope with the two unlucky guys.

When he was held down by a member of the Wu family who rushed to rescue him and stopped from rolling, he could not help but spit out two mouthfuls of thick blood again.

"Hurry up!"

Wu Youxin urged repeatedly with a weak voice.

"Going up further?"

A member of the Wu family said in despair.

"Up, up, up!"

Blood was oozing from the corner of Wu Youxin's mouth, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

At this moment, several screams accompanied by "Dog dog dog" came from the distance.

Several members of the Wu family looked at Wu Youxin with miserable expressions.

Wu Youxin was desperate.

He not only despaired about his own fate, but also despaired about the IQ of these idiots.

If he still had the chance, he would really want to kill these idiots immediately!

At this moment, a series of voices rescued him and freed him from this painful state of mind.

It was like the flapping of bees' wings, or the low buzzing of night insects.

But for Wu Youxin and others, this sound is the death warrant.

The sound was still approaching from behind at a very fast speed.

Wu Youxin could already imagine that the terrifying shooter was approaching from the ridge behind, reaping the lives of all living people along the way.

No chance.

Wu Youxin's heart was filled with complete despair.

　Hello everyone, I've increased my monthly votes by more than 100 yesterday. At this rate, it's very likely that I'll reach 1,000. In order to avoid cramming at the last minute, I'm starting to squeeze out 10,000 more words in the next few days. Well, I've already squeezed out almost 3,000. Once the monthly votes exceed 1,000, I won't wait until the first of next month to fulfill my promise to update more.
