Zhao Lin succeeded in the sneak attack. He originally wanted to go up and hit him, but he saw Diao Liuye holding a dagger in his hand, staring at him with red eyes, waiting for him to pass by, and ran back without saying a word.
The opponent is a dying person and cannot move, so there is no need to take risks.
Furthermore, Zhou Paotou and Liang Song were outnumbered and needed help. He had to quickly eliminate Huzi's effective forces.
"Boy, you are seeking death!"
The bandit who ran towards Zhao Lin was a big man with a black face, waving a saber and looking fierce.
Zhao Lin had just pinned Master Diao Liu to his horse with one shot. His confidence increased and he pulled out the short ax from his waist to fight.
The black-faced man took advantage of his weaponry and struck down with his sword first. Zhao Lin raised his short ax to resist.
Unexpectedly, the black-faced man feinted a shot, and the knife drew an arc in mid-air and slashed across the waist.
"You are indeed a rookie. Use your full strength when you come up. Die!"
The dark-faced man had a sinister smile on his face.
Zhao Lin knew he had been fooled, so with his strong physical strength, he stopped abruptly and moved five feet laterally.
The big black-faced man had a look on his face as he slashed into the air.
Is this an action a human can make?
Zhao Lin narrowly avoided the blade and broke into a cold sweat.
Too big.
He took care of the bearded leader and thought he could kill the remaining bandits at will.
Only then did I realize that strength alone was not enough. Regardless of fists, kicks, or experience in facing enemies, I was far behind.
"You can't fight him in close combat."
A thought flashed through Zhao Lin's mind, and he quickly retreated, then assumed a throwing posture and threw the ax in his hand with all his strength.
"Buzz..."
The ax blade scraped against the air and made a sharp whistling sound. The black-faced man saw a cold light coming towards his face, and before he could dodge, he raised his knife to block it.
There was a "clang", sparks flew everywhere, the saber broke in the middle, and the ax hit the black-faced man hard on the chest.
The black-faced man felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and all his strength disappeared in an instant. He staggered and lowered his head, and saw a big hole in his chest...
When Zhao Lin was dealing with the black-faced man, Zhou Paotou and Liang Song were fighting with the three bearded men.
Both Zhou and Liang were born as hunters. Although they were good at melee combat, their melee abilities were still not as good as that of Husband, who was skilled in swords and horses. They were in a two-on-three situation and quickly fell into passivity.
After only seven or eight rounds of fighting, Zhou Paotou was stabbed in the shoulder. If he hadn't been wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket in winter, he wouldn't have been able to save his arm.
He held the knife in his other hand and retreated while fighting.
"Did him!"
Goldfish saw an opportunity, called his companions, and attacked from both sides.
Zhou Pao's head was bent from left to right, and he couldn't resist it.
At this moment, two black objects flew over.
Goldfish Eyes casually slashed out a knife, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the blade was clamped by an iron guy.
It turned out that Zhu Dachun was watching the battle from the side and was so anxious that he took out two animal traps from his bag and threw them over regardless of his injuries.
The other bearded man's sight was blocked by Zhou Paotou. He didn't pay attention to his feet. He stepped on the animal trap that fell on the ground and fell to the ground with a howl while hugging his calf.
Goldfish looked around and was shocked to find that there were only two people left on his side. The rest were dead and injured. The accomplices sent to kill Zhao Lin also fell to the ground.
He shuddered suddenly and ran away. At the same time, he whistled, and a bay-red horse galloped over.
The goldfish jumped onto his horse, slapped the horse's butt, and fled away.
Huzi, who was fighting with Liang Song, heard the sound of horse hooves and turned around to see that he was alone. He was frightened and turned around to escape.
Liang Song saw the opportunity, took off his hunting knife, and hit the back of the beard, causing a deep pain in his heart.
"Don't let him get away!"
Zhou Paotou picked up the bow and wanted to shoot the goldfish's eyes, but his arm was injured and he couldn't draw the bow, so he shouted to Zhao Lin who was coming.
If Huzi was allowed to go back to report the news, everyone would be destroyed.
Goldfish Eyes rode on the horse, and he flew seven to eight feet in just a few breaths. He was sure that he was out of danger, and turned around and shouted: "Just wait, I will definitely come back before tonight and kill you all..." "
Whoosh!
A flying ax hit the horse squarely on the hindquarters.
Zhao Linfei's ax throw was inaccurate, but the target with Goldfish Eyes on horseback was too big and he hit it with one hit.
Goldfish Eyes exclaimed, and he and his horse fell to the ground, half of his body was pinned down, and he screamed loudly.
Zhao Lin walked over, took the ax off the horse, and prepared to kill him.
"Wait a minute, leave it to me to kill!"
Liang Song ran over and shouted loudly with his saber in hand.
"Okay...come on."
Zhao Lin knew that he wanted to take revenge by killing Hu Hu personally, so he stepped aside.
"Hero, have mercy on me, grandpa, have mercy on me..." Jinyu saw Liang Song's face full of murderous intent and begged for mercy loudly.
Liang Song ignored him at all and slashed at him more than a dozen times as if to vent his anger, tears welling up in his eyes.
Jinyu's eyes were dying, and his consciousness began to blur. He vaguely saw tears on the face of the young man in front of him, and he felt a little confused.
"You are the one who suffered from the mother-in-law, and the knife slashed me, why are you crying..."
When Liang Song dropped the knife, he also hacked the horse to death. The horse's spirit gathered above the body, and Zhao Lin's heart moved.
"I already have the spirit of power, and the ability that I can think of right now is speed."
"Horses are good at running. I will absorb its soul first. If I encounter a faster animal or strange beast in the future, I will replace it with it."
Zhao Lin thought for a while and made a decision, but when he was about to absorb the horse's soul, he found that the spirit animal diagram had no response at all.
This means he cannot absorb the horse's spirit.
what's the situation?
Zhao Lin was stunned, carefully searching for the relevant memories of the spirit beast map, and quickly figured out the reason.
The beast souls that the spirit beast map can absorb not only have abilities that surpass those of most species, but also have a very important point.
Even stronger than other beasts in the spirit beast map.
In other words, the horse must run faster than the bear, otherwise there is no point in absorbing the soul.
But the actual situation is that even if Xiong Zan is old and seriously injured, he can run at full speed as fast as a galloping horse.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
The body strengthens, the strength becomes greater, and the running speed will also increase.
So absorbing the horse's soul will not bring him any benefit.
"It seems that only leopards or faster animals are suitable for me."
After thinking about it, Zhao Lin gave up the idea of absorbing the horse's soul.
…
After the fight, several people cleaned up the battlefield and stabbed Beard in the heart regardless of whether he was dead or not.
Zhao Lin didn't feel any discomfort when he killed someone for the first time, mainly because he was killing a beard who had done all kinds of evil, and he didn't regard them as human beings.
When they came to Diao Liuye, they found that he was still breathing.
"None of you...can survive..."
The martial arts master was different. He was so seriously injured that he still managed to hold on and cursed viciously.
"Let you be tough!"
Liang Song took the bow and arrow, shot one arrow in Master Diao Liu's shoulder, and another arrow in the thigh...slowly tormenting him.
"Don't waste your arrows, save them to shoot at those horses." Zhao Lin stopped Liang Song and said.
Five of the mounts brought by Beard were still alive, wandering uneasily near the corpses, as if they didn't know where to go.
Liang Song was startled and said: "Shooting horses? These are strong horses. It would be a pity to kill them..."
Zhao Lin shook his head and said: "Huzi's mount must have a mark and cannot be left behind!"
Zhou Paotou agreed: "Brother Zhao has thought carefully. As the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. If you run back, you will be in trouble."
Liang Song said nothing more, shot the bearded leader to death with one arrow, then went around behind the horses and fired the arrow.
Zhao Lin followed and touched up the damage to reduce their pain.
It was getting dark, and several people gathered together to discuss the aftermath.
"Nothing to say, destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces!"
Zhu Dachun just threw the animal trap to rescue Zhou Paotou, which caused the wound to bleed again. He couldn't help but grin when he spoke.
"The corpses and traces will be destroyed for sure."
Zhou Paotou took over and said, "I am familiar with the terrain in this area and know a few hidden potholes."
Liang Song looked at the bodies of Xiong Zhen and She Hao and said, "I don't think we should take this strange beast out, otherwise people from all over the country will know about it, and Huzi will easily suspect us when he hears about it."
"Well, forget about making a name for yourself."
Zhou Paotou sighed regretfully, and seeing that Zhao Lin remained silent, he asked, "What does Brother Zhao have to propose?"
Zhao Lin undoubtedly contributed the most to this narrow escape. Not only did he kill the bearded leader, but he also intercepted the escaping Goldfish Eyes, which invisibly established his own prestige. All three people looked at him.
"We need to create an alibi." Zhao Lin said slowly.
