The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body
Chapter 66 Enemies in the Woods
Two consecutive sneak attacks caused the opponent to lose two people, which slowed down their pace a little and they were no longer chasing so closely. However, they also had to consider killing Zeng Wenyu here quickly and not let him be dragged on indefinitely.
"Whoosh..."
A sound of breaking air was heard behind him, and he quickly turned his body to the side. An arrow flew past him. The Daliang soldiers who were chasing him had put down their weapons and picked up the bows behind them. In order to prevent him from launching a sneak attack, they kept the monsters under them at a distance of about twenty steps from him and kept shooting at him with the bows and arrows in their hands.
If the opponent was chasing him closely, Zeng Wenyu would not be afraid, but the opponent just hung from a distance and did not give him the chance to fight back, so he could only hope that the armor on his body could block the arrows shot by the opponent.
He was circling in the woods with the people behind him, constantly dodging the arrows shot from behind. The only ones who could help him now were Xiaoxue and Xiaoli who kept making sneak attacks on him. However, their sneak attacks were becoming less and less effective. Xiaoxue was okay, but Xiaoli had been noticed by the other party, and it was almost impossible for it to launch a sneak attack now.
"clang!"
Another arrow hit the armor Zeng Wenyu was wearing. Although it was difficult for the armor to block the sharp claws of the monsters, it was still able to block the arrows shot by the soldiers. However, as he was hit by more and more arrows, many parts of the armor were damaged, and some places even had small holes shot by arrows.
Knowing that he could not continue to passively take the beating like this, Zeng Wenyu stopped and hid behind a big tree. The pursuers behind him did not take this opportunity to catch up. They stopped where they were, drew their bows and waited for Zeng Wenyu to show up. Once he dared to come out from behind the big tree, a large number of arrows would fly towards him in an instant.
Zeng Wenyu, who was leaning against a tree, stretched his head slightly to see what was happening behind him. As soon as he stuck his head out a little bit, an arrow flew past his eyes with the sound of breaking wind. He suddenly retracted his head. Fortunately, he only stuck his head out a little bit and then retracted it, otherwise the arrow would have hit his helmet directly. Judging from the speed of the arrow, it might not penetrate his helmet, but it would have shocked him to the point of dizziness.
He turned around and looked at the big tree in front of him. The tree was very tall and also very thick. He put his fingers together and inserted his left hand into the tree trunk as it shook violently.
He moved his fingers slightly and looked at the tree in front of him. He dug his hands into the hole in the tree and pressed down with his arms. His body flew upward for a distance along with the force. Then he inserted his right hand into the tree trunk to stabilize his body. He climbed up the smooth tree trunk in this way. By the time the soldiers of Daliang realized something was wrong, he had already climbed to the top of the tree and hid in the dense leaves.
Zeng Wenyu could not hide on the top of the tree for long. A large number of arrows were shot from below the tree, and his figure was soon exposed. However, this was what he wanted. Although the arrows shot from below were fast, he could catch them better. He reached out and caught several arrows shot near him, and pulled out some of the arrows stuck in the branches. He leaped up and jumped onto the tree next to him before the next round of arrows came.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew down from the treetops, faster than the arrows shot from the bows in their hands. Although the accuracy was not very high, there were people everywhere below, and the arrow still pierced a soldier's thigh and got stuck in his armor.
At the same time, a large number of arrows were shot at the trees, and Zeng Wenyu was hit by many arrows. Fortunately, his armor was still strong, and the arrows were pointing upwards. Even if they penetrated his armor, they would only make a small wound on his body due to the loss of power. He was relatively relieved.
The soldiers below soon discovered his intention. They dispersed and stopped shooting arrows, while also being on guard against the arrows that Zeng Wenyu threw from the trees.
Time passed little by little. The soldiers in the woods did not want others to discover the situation here and alert the enemy. Zeng Wenyu also had no better way to deal with the people and monsters below. The two sides were deadlocked here, and neither could do anything to the other.
Unfortunately, the stalemate did not last long. As a cluster of blue fireworks rose in the sky in the distance, the soldiers surrounding the tree immediately lit torches. They glanced at Zeng Wenyu who was still hiding in the tree, took out kerosene from their backpacks and sprinkled it around, setting the place on fire.
The fire quickly spread along with the kerosene on the ground, igniting the dead leaves on the ground and also the nearby trees.
When the soldiers left, they threw a lot of kerosene on the nearby trees. The flames burned fiercely. Seeing that all the trees were on fire, they no longer cared which tree Zeng Wenyu was on. Anyway, the fire had been lit. The surrounding area was a sea of fire. The only one who could escape from this sea of fire was a Qi-refining cultivator who could fly. As for whether Zeng Wenyu was a Qi-refining cultivator? Isn't it obvious? If he was really a Qi-refining cultivator, why would he fight with them like this?
A fire set the place on fire, and the soldiers urged the monsters they were riding to go towards the border city. Watching these people leave, Zeng Wenyu did not chase after them. He was looking for Xiaoxue and Xiaoli. He was sure that Xiaoxue and Xiaoli must be nearby. With such a big fire, even if a monster was trapped in it, it would be burned to death.
He turned his head and kept searching on the surrounding trees, jumping on the trees. While the trees were not yet burned down by the flames, he kept looking for Xiaoxue and Xiaoli.
"Meow~"
A cat's cry came from the tree on his right, which was a bit far away, but it didn't matter. Zeng Wenyu jumped hard and grabbed the branches with both hands. However, he didn't expect that the bottom of the tree had been almost burned. When his hands grabbed the branches, the whole tree suddenly tilted and began to fall towards him.
Using both hands, he climbed up the branch before the tree fell down. He stuffed Xiaoxue into his arms and let Xiaoli climb onto his shoulders. Zeng Wenyu stomped hard on the branch and jumped a little upwards. Unfortunately, this little distance was not enough for him to jump to the tree next to him. It only delayed the time he fell to the ground.
"Damn it!" There was no way to jump onto the tree, Zeng Wenyu could only stand on the ground.
The temperature of the flame was very high. Zeng Wenyu ran quickly. The kerosene on the ground stuck to his feet and the flame began to burn upwards along his body.
Run! Zeng Wenyu could only run madly. There were burning flames everywhere. He had to run away from here before his body could no longer bear the flames. Not only that, he also had to run away from here before the little fox on his shoulder could no longer bear the temperature of the flames.
His steps were very quick. Because of his previous dodging, he had gone very deep into the woods. When the soldiers left, they were still throwing kerosene everywhere. There was fire everywhere, and the little fox on his shoulder could hardly bear it anymore.
