C53 The Blocking Battle Began

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a man rushed to the river like a whirlwind. It was obvious that he was the leader of the group. He first looked at the fire that had not been completely extinguished, and then his eyes fell on the raft on the other side of the river. Finally, he gave a cold snort.

Following that, a large group of people flocked to his side.

"Sir, they crossed the river!" One of them said in a low voice.

"Send a portion of our men to make the raft first. Try to make a few as soon as possible. Send a batch of people over first!" The leader waved his hand and ordered decisively.

Someone started to take action immediately. Their movements were uniform, as if they had received professional training.

The few people hiding in the dark were secretly delighted when they heard this. Sure enough, it was as they had expected. In order to make the best use of their time, this group of people decided to send half of their people over first. This proved that Lee Xiang's previous guess was correct.

At the same time, they also discovered another surprise. In order to chase after them, this group of people had indeed taken off their heavy armor. This way, they would lose the last line of defense to resist the arrows and arrows.

However, what made Lee Xiang curious was that he still could not see their faces clearly. Even though they had taken off their armor, they were still wearing masks on their faces. It seemed like this group of people was really cautious.

In any case, the situation was developing in the direction that Lee Xiang had expected. This was a good start.

"Master, I have a feeling that something is not right. " It was the same person who had spoken just now.

"What's wrong?" The leader turned his head slightly and glanced at his subordinate beside him.

"Did you notice something strange?" the leader asked.

"Do you mean this forest, or. . . " The leader thought for a while and asked in a deep voice.

"Both, but it doesn't seem to be the same. I can't grasp it. But I can feel it. Think about it. Originally, we had several chances to catch up to them. But we got lost twice in the middle for no reason. You know, we followed their footsteps completely. Why did we suddenly get lost while walking?"

The leader nodded. "I thought about this question as well. It might be a trap they set up when they ran away. That way, we would be able to chase in the wrong direction! However, this forest does have some reputation, so we have to catch up to them as soon as possible. After that, as long as we get rid of that Lower Race, we will return at full speed. Try to avoid the deeper parts of the forest. . . "

Lee Xiang and Bill, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other. At the same time, they saw the fear in each other's eyes. Obviously, what they said just now meant that they could catch up to him before dark because they had lost their way halfway and missed the opportunity. This proved that they still underestimated them. There was another point, Because when Lee Xiang was fleeing, he had deliberately left behind obvious traces. There was no reason for them to be suspicious. How could they possibly get lost? Could it be that someone was helping them on purpose? How was that possible? Or was it really because this forest had some sort of reputation?

"But why would they set up a fire here when they were running for their lives? Were they not afraid of revealing their target? Even if they were so hungry that they did not have the strength to do so, why would they do that? But why would they set up a fire here when they were running for their lives? Were they not afraid of exposing their target? They would also clean this place before they left in order to avoid being discovered. According to the psychology of normal people who are running for their lives, this kind of thing absolutely wouldn't happen. The last and most crucial point, why did they happen to see their last raft when we were chasing after them? "

Lee Xiang, who was in the dark, was secretly shocked when he heard this. He knew that he had still underestimated the other party's intelligence. At the same time, he also broke out in cold sweat.

The leader nodded slightly. "En, your analysis is very reasonable. To be honest, I also have this feeling, just like they have been waiting for us. . . What do you think of this matter? "

"From the subordinate's point of view, I'm afraid that they have an ambush here!"

Lee Xiang, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked. He didn't expect this man to be so cautious. It was indeed out of his expectation. At the same time, he also felt Bill's body trembling slightly. Obviously, the shock in his heart was no less than his own.

"Then where do you think they should be lying in ambush? On the other side of the river, or on this side?" The leader thought for a moment and asked. He even glanced around.

His casual action made Lee Xiang and the others' hearts jump to their throats. One should know that once they were discovered, they would never have the chance to escape today.

"The subordinates thought that they wouldn't be so foolish as to hide here and ambush us. This is definitely an irrational action. I speculate that they are hiding on the other side to ambush us. After all, our raft can't send everyone to the other side at once, and they need to find a hidden ambush location. Then wait until we get to shore and shoot arrows in secret. This should be the most ideal choice! "

"Mm, your speculation is possible in theory. But do you think they have the guts to ambush so many of us with just a few of them? Moreover, the most powerful one among them is only a rank 6 Knight. I'm afraid they have already escaped. . . Of course. I admire your bold hypothesis, so in order to prevent them from having such an ability, I've decided to cross the river first, and then you guys will support me from behind. I don't care about normal archers. . . "

Lee Xiang and Bill secretly let out a sigh of relief at the same time. They were extremely happy in their hearts. They had never thought that they would be wrong and send their most powerful enemy away first. This was the most ideal result. As long as this man wasn't around, everything else would be fine.

Initially, Lee Xiang had planned to let Bill secretly kill a few enemies who were going to make the raft. However, because he was afraid of alerting the enemy, he forcefully endured it in the end.

"Why isn't the raft ready yet?" That leader was a bit anxious.

"Three rafts that are enough for five people have already been prepared!"

"Let's go into the water right now. Let's go there first. I think there are only a few of them left. It should be more than enough to deal with them!"

Lee Xiang, who was in the dark, made a gesture to Bill, indicating the success of the plan. Bill's eyes also lit up with excitement.

After the middle-aged man jumped onto the raft, more than a dozen followers followed. When they were about to reach the center of the river, Lee Xiang gave Bill a look, signaling him to get rid of a few enemies who were busy making the raft.

Bill understood what he meant. After all, one less person meant one less threat.

Lee Xiang had been staring at their rafts. He originally planned to wait until they were all ashore before he started moving. This way, he could buy more time. However, at this moment, he changed his mind. After all, the two guards were also there to protect him. If he really let these people go ashore, they would definitely lose their lives. He only needed to vent his anger on them at the same time. They could still make it in time to turn back. If they launched an attack before they went ashore. . . He was almost certain that they would return on the spot. This was a normal psychological reaction, a conditioned reflex.

Seeing that the few rafts were about to reach the shore, Lee Xiang hurriedly chanted a spell in a low voice. More than ten magic fireballs flew towards the enemies by the river. It was beautiful and dazzling. At the same time, several arrows of magic shot towards the enemies who were still by the river silently. This was the limit of his magic.

The first shot of the counterattack was finally fired by Lee Xiang!
