With their backs to the lake, the bandits spread out in three layers of formation.
The archers are inside and the crossbowmen are outside. The four leaders, Xu Ma Bang, Yang Dan, Wang Mazi and Liu Huaying, are not far apart and stand at the outermost corner.
Zhao Lin asked Liang Song to wait beside the motorcade and walked slowly towards the lake.
Liang Song knew that his strength was limited and he couldn't help at this time, so he opened the rickety carriage and looked through the contents.
When Xu Ma Bang and others saw Zhao Lin coming, they all stared at him nervously. Wherever his eyes looked, the bandits on the other side were frightened.
Just now, Zhao Lin took the lives of more than forty people with just one move. In the eyes of these people, he was no different from a killer.
Before Zhao Lin could get close to the shooting range, one of the bandits lost his composure, loosened his bowstring and fired an arrow.
Yang Dan glared at the man fiercely and said sternly: "No one is allowed to shoot arrows without my command!"
Zhao Lin moved and suddenly accelerated towards one side of the formation. All the crossbowmen immediately raised their arrows and took aim.
Yang Dan took a deep breath, but the sound of "shooting the arrow" in his mouth never came out.
When Zhao Lin rushed to a distance of about twenty feet, he saw that the bandits never took the bait, so he stopped taking a step forward.
The formations set up by the bandits have some tricks. They are like hedgehogs. If they charge in forcefully, the risk is not small. However, if they can delay until night, these people will become blind, and they will rule the world.
Wang Mazi made a sword dance with his iron sword, and whispered to Xu Ma Bang: "Second brother, it's not a problem to keep delaying like this. How about I take someone to cut off the queen, and you go back to report to the big boss?"
Yang Dan and Liu Huaying also turned their heads after hearing this.
Xu Ma Bang spat: "What did you say? You and I, brothers, how can we let you cut off the queen and I escape for my own life?"
"Besides, you may not be able to stop him. Instead, he will be defeated one by one. At this time, we must become one."
Wang Mazi scratched his head and said, "What should we do? If he doesn't leave, will it be wasted?"
Xu Ma Bang looked up at the sky and said, "The moon is out."
Wang Mazi was stunned, "Second brother, what are you talking about without making any sense?"
Xu Ma Bang looked at him and whispered: "What that boy relies on is nothing more than his unpredictable body skills, which neither you nor I can match. But have you noticed? From the perspective of Qi and blood, his cultivation Because I only have the first level of Qi Realm!"
"I guess this kid didn't know what kind of medicine he took to advance so fast to his current level of cultivation."
"The higher the realm, the more powerful the five senses..."
At this point, he smacked his lips twice and said, "I am at the third level of Qi Realm, you and Yang Dan are both at the second level, and Hua Yingzi is also at the first level. If we were competing for eyesight and ears, he would definitely not be as good as us."
"It's cloudy today. When it gets dark in the evening, the situation of strength will inevitably reverse!"
Wang Mazi grinned, "Second brother is so calculating!"
Yang Dan frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Second Master, I still have something unclear. That day I directed the arrow array to shoot at him, and he stopped in the air. Not only did he not fall, he also flew up high."
"Then you jumped off the mountain and didn't die. What's the reason?"
Xu Ma Bang was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I can't understand this matter. Not even me, not even the head master knows about it!"
"But I think humans are not birds. Without wings, they can't fly no matter what. They must have practiced some kind of brilliant light-weight technique, and they just used their strength to pause in the air."
"Taking a step back, so what if he can really fly? Can an eagle catch rabbits or tigers and leopards?"
After he said this, the bandits nodded and regained their confidence.
Zhao Lin listened calmly, thinking silently in his heart.
The bandits are planning to run away at night, and it can be said that they are playing into their own hands.
But in order not to let them see his intention, he deliberately walked back and forth around the formation, his behavior seemed a little anxious.
As the sky gradually darkened, Liang Song walked over with a few pieces of butcher's shop and dry food.
"What should I do tonight?"
Zhao Lin took the food and said: "You go to the mountain to hide, look for opportunities to shoot the approaching beards, don't go down the mountain easily."
Liang Song knew that this was all he could do, so he said "Okay" and turned around and walked into the night.
Zhao Lin casually sat down on the ground and ate in front of the bandits.
There is bound to be a big battle tonight, let’s fill our stomachs first.
When Wang Mazi saw this, he took a sip and cursed: "I should have put arsenic in his food and poisoned him to death!"
Night fell quickly, and the moon was covered by clouds, revealing a little light.
The mountains and forests were extremely silent, with only the cries of night owls coming from the distance.
Xu Ma Bang said in a very low voice: "Brothers, listen, follow me to the north now. After passing the hill in front, there is an old elm forest."
"As long as we enter the woods, we will be safe!"
The bandits cheered up after hearing this and followed him northward in small steps.
Zhao Lin slowly followed up, keeping parallel to the bandits. His Adam's apple vibrated at high speed and emitted ultrasonic waves, monitoring their every move.
It was dark at this time, and if we took action now, we could actually ensure our own safety.
However, he was worried that the bandits would disperse in a hurry, which would be troublesome to catch, so he was not in a hurry to take action, and was waiting for an opportunity.
Xu Ma Bang and others thought that Zhao Lin was afraid of the dark, so they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and quickly moved to the side of the lake.
A cool breeze suddenly started, and a dark cloud covered the moonlight.
The sky suddenly became as dark as ink!
Zhao Lin finally moved and ran towards the bandit formation with big strides. His feet stepped on the sandy ground, making a "rustling" sound.
Yang Dan faced the direction where Zhao Lin was rushing towards him. He was the first to notice it and immediately reminded: "Everyone, be careful, he is coming!"
The bandits immediately stopped, raised their crossbows, and looked into the darkness with their eyes wide open, but could not see anything.
Yang Dan's heart was in his throat when he heard the sound getting closer and closer. Xu Ma Bang, Wang Mazi and Liu Huaying also quickly approached.
"Shasha... Shasha..."
Just when Yang Dan was about to give the order to release the arrow, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped!
Yang Dan, Xu Ma Bang and others were stunned and tried their best to listen, when they suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the sky above their heads.
Wang Mazi raised his head and saw a figure flying through the sky through the faint starlight.
"You can actually fly!"
Even though he had always been fearless of heaven and earth, he felt a chill running down his spine at this moment.
"On top, cum!"
Yang Dan and Xu Ma Bang also noticed and shouted at the same time.
The bandits armed with crossbows could not see anything and could only shoot arrows into the sky randomly.
Zhao Lin had already detoured to one side of the formation in the air, and rushed directly into the bandits from the direction of the lake. He hit several bandits in the back of the head with his luck.
The bandits never dreamed that Zhao Lin would appear from behind. They only heard the sound of the corpse falling to the ground. They were all frightened and fled backwards.
During the escape process, people kept falling down, and screams occurred one after another.
"Stop running around and come to me!"
Xu Ma Bang and the others were unable to help outside. They were anxious and had no choice but to yell.
