While running for his life, Yan Liqiang was getting farther and farther away from the cave. He intended to lead the Black Wind Bandits away from that place, and every time a Black Wind Bandit rushed close, Yan Liqiang would stop, turn around and shoot an arrow. In this situation, the remaining twenty or so arrows in Yan Liqiang's quiver were quickly used up in less than half an hour.
Yan Liqiang’s arrows never missed their target. More than 20 arrows were shot, and more than 20 Black Wind Bandits who were chasing him fell. However, the remaining Black Wind Bandits were still chasing him like hungry wolves. During the chase, those Black Wind Bandits also made angry screams one by one. To Yan Liqiang, the meaning of those screams was probably "kill him" or something like that...
The old man must be some kind of priest. He seems to be very important to these Shatu people, otherwise they would not have been chasing him so closely.
At this time, without any replenishment of arrows, Yan Liqiang could only continue to run for his life after shooting all the arrows in his quiver.
Yan Liqiang originally thought that he could quickly get rid of the Shatu people chasing him because of his solid foundation. The physical fitness honed by the Yi Jin Xi Sui Jing, the cultivation of the Nine Palaces Wind Shadow Step, and his super eyesight made it difficult for the Shatu people chasing him to catch up with him in such a forest as long as they were not riding on a horse.
But Yan Liqiang was only half right.
After being left far behind by Yan Liqiang, most of the Black Wind Bandits who were chasing him were slowly thrown away by him. They could not keep up with his pace and the distance between them and him became increasingly larger, and finally disappeared behind him. However, there were still two Black Wind Bandits who, after noticing that Yan Liqiang had run out of arrows, suddenly stood out from the crowd of Black Wind Bandits and slowly closed the distance between them and Yan Liqiang during the chase.
The two Black Wind Bandits before were hiding among a large group of Black Wind Bandits and did not rush to the front. They seemed very cunning and kept a low profile. Even Yan Liqiang did not notice that there were two such people among the Black Wind Bandits chasing him. When Yan Liqiang ran out of arrows and did not shoot any arrows for a long time, the two Black Wind Bandits slowly rushed to the front, surpassing all the other Black Wind Bandits and began to chase Yan Liqiang relentlessly.
Even in the mountains and forests, the speed of the two Black Wind Bandits was not slower than Yan Liqiang, and they were even a little faster than Yan Liqiang.
What made Yan Liqiang even more nervous was the burning and fierce murderous intentions of the two Black Wind Bandits towards him. They were as firm as iron and completely unshakable. Yan Liqiang even had the illusion that even if he ran to the ends of the earth, the two Black Wind Bandits would keep chasing him and would never give up until they killed him.
Could it be that the old Shatu man is their biological father
Such a thought popped up in Yan Liqiang's mind.
Yan Liqiang ran at full speed, and all he could hear was a rustling sound, which was the subtle sound of clothes rubbing against the vegetation around him.
The only thing Yan Liqiang had that was better than the two Black Wind Bandits chasing him was his vision in the dark. Because of this, Yan Liqiang's reaction and judgment while running were faster than those of the two people chasing him, which was why those two people had not caught up with him.
As Yan Liqiang ran, he left behind trees and piles of bushes and weeds. At the same time, some birds were startled by Yan Liqiang and flew away from the trees.
When passing by a small ravine several dozen meters deep, Yan Liqiang had to throw the Horned Python Bow he was carrying into the grass in the ravine, because it was indeed very inconvenient to run in such a jungle with a Horned Python Bow. At such a life-and-death moment, a Horned Python Bow was certainly not as important as his own life. As long as he was alive, he could get the Horned Python Bow back, but if he died, no matter how good the bow was, it would be useless and would instead benefit the two Black Wind Bandits who were chasing him.
The only thing that made Yan Liqiang feel a little comforted at this time was that he found that Huangmao seemed to be not far away from him, running after him. Huangmao made little noise when running in the woods, and Yan Liqiang did not see any trace of Huangmao, but he had such a feeling in his heart.
Yan Liqiang climbed over the valley, and the two people chasing him also climbed over the valley!
Yan Liqiang waded across the river, and the two people chasing him also waded across the river!
Yan Liqiang jumped down from a cliff more than ten meters high, rolling all the way down the weed-covered hillside. The two people chasing him also jumped down from the cliff, rolling and running on the hillside, chasing Yan Liqiang closely like leeches.
In this intense chase, Yan Liqiang had already deviated from his previous route and entered an unfamiliar area in the wilderness. His body, which had already been exhausted from the long-distance running, became overdrawn and heavy again.
Yan Liqiang felt that his feet were becoming weaker and weaker, while his lungs were becoming hotter and hotter, and his breathing was becoming heavier and heavier.
After passing through a rocky hill in front of him, and just passing through a beech forest, and just turning a hillside, Yan Liqiang's heart suddenly skipped a beat when he saw the scene ahead...
This is a U-shaped slope with steep rocks beside it. A canyon that is almost a hundred meters deep stands in front of him, winding for thousands of meters. There is no road ahead. The rock walls of the canyon are steep and it is impossible to climb down. If you want to jump, the only result of falling to the ground at this height is to become a very environmentally unfriendly meat paste. The steep rock next to it is dozens of meters above the ground and as smooth as a mirror. It is impossible to climb up without any tools.
Depend on!
I really have to fight to the death!
The sound of footsteps came from behind, approaching within a hundred meters, and it was too late to turn around and find another way...
Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, took a look at the surrounding environment, and dived into the dense grassland between the canyon and the rock.
This patch of grass, which is usually sparsely populated, is nearly one meter tall and larger than a football field. It is located on the edge of the canyon.
When the two Black Wind Bandits chasing him turned the hillside and rushed over, Yan Liqiang also hid in the dense grass, motionless...
The two Black Wind Bandits who had chased Yan Liqiang here also saw the terrain clearly. After a brief discussion, one of them turned around and climbed up the hillside next to him, overlooking the entire grassland, while the other one immediately drew out his scimitar and carefully moved into the bushes...
Yan Liqiang, who was hiding in the bushes, also saw the actions of the two men. At the same time, he began to think nervously in his mind, trying to judge his own chances.
The two Black Wind Bandits knew they could not escape, so they hid in the grass. In order to prevent themselves from being found and slipping out by chance after both of them entered the grass, they left one person standing on the hillside, overlooking the entire grass, while guarding their retreat route to run out of the grass again. The other person entered the grass to look for them. Once the person who entered the grass found them, or they were discovered by the person on the hillside, they would be besieged by the two people.
To be honest, if they really had to fight at close range, Yan Liqiang didn't even have the confidence that he could deal with one of them, because the strength of these two people, Yan Liqiang judged, should at least be the best among the Dragon Tiger Warriors, and might even be close to the first-level martial artist. Because of his three-level archery skills, he could completely and thoroughly suppress the Dragon Tiger Warriors and the first-level warriors. Before, the two people were very afraid of him and hid among the Black Wind Bandits and didn't dare to approach him, which meant that they were not sure that they could take or resist the arrows he shot. If the two people were already masters of the first-level martial artist, the arrows he shot, although dangerous to them, would not make them so afraid.
After a night of tossing and turning, at this time, although the sky was still dark, it was not far from dawn. The dark sky was in his favor and was an advantage. However, once the sky was completely bright, this advantage would disappear.
Since the two Black Wind Bandits have separated, the key to whether I can leave here alive is whether I can defeat them one by one. If I want to do it, I must kill one of them in the shortest possible time, so that I will have a slight chance when facing the other one...
