The big beast was panting and glaring at them fiercely. The horse was restless because of fear. Shen Xihe's face was calm, and Xiao Huayong's jaw was tense. The two looked at each other, and Shen Xihe revealed her meaning to Xiao Huayong with her eyes: Leave the one at the back to me.
Xiao Huayong followed the corner of her eye, then looked at the three big beasts that could pounce on them at any time, and nodded to Shen Xihe imperceptibly.
At this moment, the two big beasts that were attacking Xiao Huayong pounced on him from the left and right. Xiao Huayong slapped the horse's back and jumped up with the force. The horse also rushed away. He twisted his body in mid-air and stepped on the back of a big beast that had missed the target and fell to the ground. With a touch of his toes, he leaped and flew far away.
Shen Xihe took the initiative and threw out a sachet of perfume on her body. Because they were going to the deep mountains and forests, she was also worried that she might encounter these huge beasts, so she always wore incense that would make these beasts dislike it and take a detour on their own. As soon as she threw the sachet of perfume out, the big insect that faced her dodged flexibly. Shen Xihe wanted to use this opportunity to pull the trigger and shoot a needle at the big insect.
However, she had never fought against a tiger before, and she underestimated its speed. Before she could pull the trigger after she stretched out her hand, the tiger had already pounced on her. Coincidentally at this moment, a shadow passed by and knocked her horse away, leaving several deep blood marks on the tiger's head, knocking the tiger away.
Shen Xihe's horse was running forward uncontrollably. She turned around and saw the tiger that was chasing her, but was entangled by a Saker Falcon that turned around and flew over. Xiao Huayong had already flown to the top of the tree and drew his bow and arrow at one of them. Shen Xihe saw blood on his arm, so he must have been scratched by the tiger.
As the king of the forest, the giant insect's strength, speed, and agility are beyond human imagination and estimation.
Shen Xihe reined in her horse. She did not leave, but she did not return to the battle circle either. If she got too close, she would only become a burden to Xiao Huayong. She kept an eye on the battle situation, waiting for an opportunity to move. Since Hai Dongqing was here, Tian Yuan must be on the way as well.
Shen Xihe had experienced how sharp and accurate Xiao Huayong's archery skills were in the past two months, but the arrow he shot was actually dodged by the big insect, which really made Shen Xihe shudder with fear.
A very violent insect was furiously hitting the tree root where Xiao Huayong had fallen. The force was so great that the tree shook rapidly. Shen Xihe was very worried as he watched Xiao Huayong stagger and almost fall down from the tree.
What frightened Shen Xihe the most was that after dodging Xiao Huayong's sharp arrow, and unable to draw the bow and shoot because the tree was shaking, the big insect actually jumped up and climbed onto the tree trunk, roaring at Xiao Huayong, with its leaps being extremely large and swift.
Seeing the branches shaking, it had no effect on the big insect on the tree, but made Xiao Huayong unable to move. The big insect below kept hitting the tree roots and guarding him. Even if Xiao Huayong jumped down, he could not avoid its attack.
Shen Xihe quickly glanced at the road beside her, and she saw Xiao Huayong's horse. She drove her horse towards Xiao Huayong's horse. Her horse was not in good condition at all, and its legs were almost weak when it was surrounded by the big beasts just now. However, Xiao Huayong's horse was a famous horse.
Jumping off her own horse, Shen Xihe grabbed Xiao Huayong's horse and leaped onto it. Perhaps because Xiao Huayong had taken her for a ride several times before, Xiao Huayong's horse did not reject Shen Xihe. Shen Xihe rode on it, pointed the whip in the direction of Xiao Huayong and charged forward.
