C483 Weird Five
The arrow was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder. In the span of a single breath, it had already arrived in front of Black Team Leader, bringing with it a biting cold wind, as if it could pierce through everything in the world.
Black Team Leader was someone who was used to the world, so this kind of attack did not scare him. Although he was alone, he would not give up on himself just because of this degree of attack.
Just in time, at that moment, Black Team Leader extended his feet forward, and quickly placed it under one of his comrades. Using his strength, he lifted up the already heavily injured black clothed man, and coincidentally blocked in front of his body, using his companion's body as a shield.
With the power of the crossbow, being able to shoot through a person's torso at a close distance was enough for Black Team Leader to use as a shield. Of course, Black Team Leader knew this, so he used himself as the center and started to revolve.
In front of him was his companion in black, and behind him were two large, silver bags, both covering him from the front and the back. Coupled with his fast rotation at the center, he could easily deflect the incoming arrows.
After the rain of arrows, there were more arrows on the cloth bag. The man in black who was acting as the 'shield' was now completely dead, arrows shooting out from his body from head to toe. Many arrows had even landed on his vital parts.
"You sure are ruthless!" They actually used your subordinates to block the arrows for you! " bearded old horse sarcastically said. Although in his eyes, the concept of companions and subordinates still did not exist, bearded old horse knew that he still could not do such a cold-blooded thing.
"His injuries are too severe. Even if all of you are killed, he won't be able to continue on his journey. It would be better to just let him die right now, as this will lessen his pain!" Black Team Leader replied coldly. As he spoke, he pushed away his companion who had already died. He didn't even take a glance at the entire process, as if he had thrown away a insignificant piece of trash.
"Humph, despicable is despicable, what's the point of finding so many reasons? And in the end, wasn't it for your own sake? " bearded old horse retorted coldly.
"Cut the crap!" Whatever tricks you have up your sleeves! " Black Team Leader was too lazy to continue the debate. After many days of trekking and fighting, he had expended a lot of energy, so he could only conserve a portion of his strength. Even if he won in terms of words, he did not change his current situation.
"Move forward in close combat. Do not stop the crossbowmen. Continue shooting!" the old horse roared.
The battle began again.

On a distant mountain, a dozen of people were watching the battle from a hidden position.
"saltpetre, I think that those people in black are going to die soon. Do we need to help them?" The one who spoke was Qiao Wu. Under Xian Da's lead, they followed Old Ma's group to this place. In order to prevent them from being discovered, they chose a place to observe from afar on the mountain slope.
"Be honest. Even if they are all dead, we can't do anything. We're here to see what they are up to. We can't care about anything else!" Xian Da instructed with a serious expression.
"Oh, isn't that boring?" Qiao Wu replied with a grudge.
"Keep your spirits up, have you all forgotten the order from the hall master? No matter what happens, we cannot afford to miss out. As soon as we discover an expert appearing, we must immediately retreat! " Xian Da's face became even more unfriendly, and angrily shouted at Qiao Wu.
They always say that what kind of people bring what kind of soldiers, Qiao Wu was like this, could it be that Xian Da was not such a person? But Su Wanyue's orders were absolute. If Xian Da dared to disobey Su Wanyue's orders, Su Wanyue could really kick all of them out of Baishang.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Xian Da had no choice but to follow his orders. Although he really wanted to charge down and fight, he couldn't afford the consequences.
"saltpetre, is the hall master making a big fuss over nothing?" Qiao Wu carefully asked.
"Let's not talk about making a fuss first, this is an order! You should understand what an order means. " Xian Da replied unhappily.
"Yes, an order means obedience!" Qiao Wu said in all seriousness.
"Very good! "Everyone, concentrate on watching for laozi!" Xian Da nodded, and continued to watch the battle.

The battle was getting more and more unfavorable for Black Team Leader. He, who had expended too much energy, already felt that his strength was insufficient. His arms felt like they weighed a thousand kilograms.
However, this sort of 'burden' could not be easily discarded. It was not for the mission, more importantly, without these silver taels, how could he resist the cold arrows shooting from behind?
But how long could he last like this?
Black Team Leader could not help but think: "Should I use a secret technique or not? If he used it, he would be finished for life! But if we don't use it, we'll be finished now! "
Black Team Leader looked at the number of enemies and clenched his teeth. He decided to use a secret technique to protect his life!
"Remember, you forced me to do this! "Ah ?" Black Team Leader bellowed.
Everyone around was stunned by this sudden sentence, some even subconsciously stopped their attacks, and stared blankly at Black Team Leader. He screamed in extreme pain, and at the same time, a kind of smoke appeared out of nowhere from Black Team Leader's body that could block their line of sight.
As the smoke spread wider and wider and thicker, everyone slowly retreated. Some of the more astute ones even used their hands to cover their noses and mouth, afraid that there was an unknown poison in the smoke.
Seeing this situation, bearded old horse was also stunned, he even forgot to urge the soldiers to continue attacking! He could only foolishly watch as this bizarre scene continued to unfold.
After a long time, the thick smoke started to dissipate, as if there was a super powerful blower quickly absorbing the thick fog.
When the smoke completely dissipated, what appeared was a monster-like figure. The reason why they were called monsters was because from their height, size, and appearance, it was impossible to tell what they looked like.
"This... "What is this..."
"Demons... "He's a monster ?"
"Oh my god ?"
"..."
Discussions, sounds of fear, and endless voices rose and fell. Almost everyone spoke with a trembling voice.
What everyone saw once again was a huge creature over two metres tall. Although it still had human limbs, its entire body was covered with dense scales, and its hands and feet even had long sharp claws.
The most terrifying thing was his head, which seemed more like the head of some reptile than a head. There was no hair, and it was still covered by scales. The pupils of the pair of eyes were shaped like spindles, and there were many dots densely distributed on both sides of the eyes. It seemed like there were many eyes.
If one were to say that the appearance of these materials could be used as camouflage material, then he would constantly stick out his long and thin tongue, just like a snake sticking out its tongue. This was not something that could be disguised.
"Run!" It was unknown who shouted this, but everyone in the vicinity started to flee in all directions.
But was it really the one that was easy to escape? The tongue that kept spitting out, unexpectedly grew incredibly fast and coiled itself around a person who was just about to escape. After that, the person uncontrollably followed after the tongue.
The person brought back by the tongue didn't even have the chance to struggle. In the midst of his screams, the monster had actually swallowed him alive.
That's right, it was something to be swallowed! This monster actually dared to eat humans!
When the 'prey' was brought back by the tongue, his mouth suddenly became big, as if he could swallow a person whole. Following the devouring of the monster into its stomach, its body expanded once again. Its height of over two meters suddenly became three meters, and its body also seemed to have doubled in size.
"Arrows ready, fire!" The old horse stopped the fleeing men and ordered the surrounding archers to shoot continuously.
It was unknown if it was because the monster's defense had increased in a straight line, but the crossbow did not injure the other party at all. After it had made contact with his body, it quickly bounced off his body and landed on the ground.
He ate human again, but was unable to injure it. This caused the fear in the surrounding people to reach a few points. Some people didn't even have the strength to run, and sat on the ground, not even able to stand up.
Even the battle-hardened bearded old horse had the urge to pull his horse and run away.
? ?.
At this moment, a teasing voice suddenly sounded out, only to hear the voice saying: "Oh, I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene right after leaving Yunshan Mountain!"
That voice attracted everyone's attention. When everyone turned around, they discovered that it was not only the one who spoke. There were also four people beside him, and in addition to the person who spoke, there were exactly five people.
These people were all dressed strangely. The one who spoke was covered in green, not just his skin, but also his clothes. He was even wearing a huge green hat.
Beside him was a giant man over two meters tall. Apart from the tight leather pants on his lower body, he was almost completely naked except for a pair of heartguard mirror on his chest and two axes on his back.
The one in the middle was the most normal one for all of them. He was handsome like a beautiful woman, and the first impression he gave was that it was a pity that he looked like this. In his hands was an ancient zither. It looked extremely ancient. It didn't look like a weapon, but more like an antique.
The other two people on the other side of the handsome man were not much better. First, they were a man who was less than half a meter tall with a stooped back.
His mouth and nose stuck out, and his huge mouth almost split open his cheeks. His nostrils flared up, and he saw a pair of large and exaggerated ears, with a forehead full of creases, and a pair of eyes that looked extremely intelligent!
With his appearance and figure, it would be better to say that he was a pig than a dwarf!
Beside the pig was the only woman among the five of them. She was extremely seductive, and her figure was even more enchanting. She was the kind of gorgeous woman who would pounce on anyone she saw.
However, what was strange was that there were actually three Mimi in front of her chest. Moreover, they were covered by a hazy veil that appeared to be very tightly covered, but it was actually completely visible.
However, such a seductive woman actually had a greatsword that was about the same height as her. He really doubted if she could swing it.
