Chapter 2 An Unusual Enemy

In the darkness of the forest, there was a sudden scream, and arrows that were almost invisible flew straight towards the unprepared warlock on horseback.

Wang Jian, who was well prepared, kicked the warlock's horse from behind in advance. The horse was frightened and ran forward. A sound of strings exploded in the dark forest. The arrows grazed the warlock's shoulders and sank into the rear.

In the shadow of the trees, he instantly disappeared into the darkness behind him.

Everything happened in an instant, and no one could realize what was happening. It wasn't until the warlock's horse ran a few steps in fright and threw her into the pile of leaves that several soldiers realized what was going on. They all showed their weapons and looked for the enemy.

More than thirty steps ahead, two figures appeared on both sides of the road. They also looked at Wang Jian who was kicking his horse in surprise.

After regaining his composure, the confrontation began immediately. Wu Yi unsheathed his long sword at his waist and walked as fast as flying. He pulled in front of the two of them in a few strides, without giving them a chance to fire arrows again. The enemy on the right dropped his short bow and replaced it with a scimitar.

response.

Wu Yi wore the least armor among the group. He only wore soft leather armor with shoulder pads to protect his torso. It was made of high-quality rhinoceros leather, and its light weight was immediately taken advantage of.

The three soldiers behind had complete armor, made of cowhide and sheepskin, painted with lacquer (resin), with better defense and heavier weight. They were a few steps behind and moved closer to Wu Yi on the left and right sides. They held a spear nearly ten feet long in tacit understanding.

Taking advantage of the distance, he pressed forward and prepared to attack from both sides.

But the other party didn't look like a thief at all. He was actually covered in hard leather armor that protected his torso. The surface was shiny and it was obviously carefully maintained with animal fat.

At the same time, he showed good combat experience and skills. When faced with an outnumbered enemy, he did not panic. He took a few steps back and relied on a big tree to protect the blind spot behind him. Then they faced off back to back, left and right.

No one on either side made any move for the first time.

Until the soldier on the left took advantage of the crowd and moved in small steps on the bow, he began to push the tip of his spear forward to test, and then suddenly thrust out, but was quickly pushed away by the opponent's quick eyes and hands.

At the same time, the soldiers on the right also cooperated and suddenly launched an attack. The spear was thrust out at the enemy's waist and abdomen in an instant. The enemy on the right reacted beyond ordinary people and grabbed it.

The soldier did not hesitate, and pulled hard with both hands. Because of the leverage, the opponent could not hold it at this time. The palm of his hand was destroyed by the tip of the spear.

However, the soldier quickly realized that something was wrong. The opponent seemed not to be afraid of injury or pain at all. He squeezed the spear point tightly and refused to let go even if his palm was bruised. The scimitar in his right hand followed the trend and struck fiercely.

"Boom!" There was a dull and harsh metallic sound, and with a flash of sparks, Wu Yi's long sword parried the long sword. With a twist of his wrist, the sword light was like flowing water, and it was sent into the enemy's chest.

The opponent dodged sideways, but it was too late. His left forearm was stabbed with a sword and only the skin and flesh were connected, and his palm hung dangling on his arm.

But the man didn't even snort! It was as if the palm wasn't his...

The soldier who had saved his life was sweating profusely. He looked at the two enemies whose faces were unclear under the shade of the trees opposite in fear. The spears in his hands were shaking a little. Aren't these two guys afraid of pain or death? Are they human!

Both sides became cautious, breathing heavily, and neither dared to underestimate the enemy after a brief confrontation. After a few steps of confrontation, even Wu Yi did not dare to advance lightly.

The enemy on the opposite side is too weird, too inhuman, nothing he has seen or heard before.

Just when the battle situation was at a stalemate, Wang Jian felt an unusual fluctuation of spiritual power.

The reason why it is unusual is that he cannot feel any other spiritual thoughts, but he can clearly feel the gathering and changes of spiritual power. The power is like a castle in the air, which a cultivator like him cannot understand at all.

What's going on?

After a short while, dim spiritual energy began to move near the two enemies in the distance. Before they had time to react, the two lost their balance and staggered because the soil under their feet suddenly softened, making them unprepared and unable to stand.

"Awakening of the Earth!" The warlock's voice echoed behind him.

In a life-and-death confrontation, this staggering imbalance was very fatal. The soldiers on the left and right seized the opportunity to attack from a flank, piercing the enemy cleanly with their spears, and then nailed them to the old tree with both hands to prevent them from struggling to death.

Wang Jian turned around and found that it was the yellow-robed warlock covered in fallen leaves behind him who had taken action.

She muttered something while waving a wooden sword in her hand, like a goddess doing the magic. This was something he had never heard of or seen before. She made the edge of a piece of soil in the distance become softer after more than ten steps. What kind of power is this? He is a cultivator.

understand.

The sorceress had just fallen into a pile of fallen leaves and was very embarrassed, but as soon as she took action, she defeated two powerful enemies in an instant.

The three soldiers facing each other in the front stabbed several times with their spears. After confirming that the enemy was dead, they breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to thank the yellow-robed warlock.

"You have delayed enough, otherwise I would be helpless." The warlock nodded slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief.

While breathing and relaxing, the group also felt lingering fears.

The enemy came well prepared and experienced. They set up an ambush in advance and may have discovered their traces early. Then they used the cover of darkness in the forest to preemptively eliminate the most threatening warlock with a fatal arrow.

The ambush was so precise and sudden that it was almost successful.

However, the second son of Duyang Hou, whom everyone considered to be the most useless, kicked the horse away, causing the ambush to fail, allowing the warlock to save his life, and the situation was completely reversed.

This incident was unexpected to everyone. Unexpectedly, Wang Jian turned out to be a key figure.

Is it a coincidence, an accident, or just a coincidence?

Everyone looked over in surprise and hesitation, not knowing how to view this matter for a while.

The warlock over there probably glared at him because he was so embarrassed just now, but felt embarrassed and avoided his eyes. After a while, he looked over and whispered: "Thank you."

"What did you say? Didn't you hear me clearly? Say it again." Wang Jianke still remembered what this girl said about him just now.

"."

The yellow-robed warlock turned his head and stopped talking.

Without too much entanglement, everyone began to check and clean the battlefield. Moreover, there were many suspicious things about these two "robbers" that attracted everyone's attention.

The soldiers checking the corpses over there quickly exclaimed: "They are aliens!"

These words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Wu Yi took a few strides over and split open the chest armor of the two men. The blue-black skin and the blood flowing out of the wound had quickly condensed and turned into dark red and almost black. Mixed with the soft soil under their feet, it had become sticky. "It's a stranger."

"Weren't they stopped by the Han army in the north of Yinshan Mountain?" The soldier next to him who had just recovered from the shock said in surprise.

From word of mouth, people from all over the world have heard rumors about the aliens. It is said that they are numerous, good at fighting and bloodthirsty, have black and hard skin, can eat people's hearts and livers, are fierce and not afraid of death, etc.

We also know that they have fought bloody battles with the Han army for many years, and have been blocked by the Han army in the bitter cold north. How could they now go south to the hinterland of Zhao State!

You must know that the hinterland of Zhao State is at least thousands of miles away from the foreigners' territory in the north. Did they fly here?

The sorceress also became serious, "If you go south from the north, you have to pass through Niangzi Mountain, Yanling Fortress, Gaoliu, Pingyin, Daizhou, Lucheng Avenue, and pass through Jinyang. Along the way, there are not only Han army fortresses, but also

It's impossible for them to come quietly to Zhao State's big city."

"We must go back as soon as possible to report to the Marquis!" Wu Yi glanced around and said cautiously: "The view from this place is only ten steps away. I don't know if there are any remnants of them nearby.

Or maybe these two people are just their scouts!

We are short of manpower, so we will bring the news back first and make long-term plans."

Finally, everyone came to a unanimous opinion, "Take the head back and ask the Marquis to send more reinforcements."

Two soldiers went to chop off the stranger's head, but Wang Jian was filled with doubts.

According to what they said, the Yiren group lives in the cold north, probably at high latitudes, where solar radiation is weak, so they shouldn't have such dark skin.

Based on his knowledge of biogeography, this planet is not the earth, but the laws of physics will not change. The closer to the equator, the stronger the radiation. The human body needs to release more melanin to resist radiation. The darker the skin, anyway, in high latitudes.

The radiation is weak and the human body releases less melanin, so you should not have such a dark skin color.

According to the description, the aliens are all in the bitter cold land in the north, and their blue and black skin looks a bit strange and inconsistent with common sense.

But Wang Jian didn't think much about it, because when he looked up, there were three moons hanging in the sky, two small and one big. The order and brightness of the moons are how people count years today. This place is obviously different from the earth, and many things cannot be explained and are reasonable.

.

After that, the group of people did not dare to stay and immediately began to retreat north, because they did not know how many strangers were going south, and whether there were any reinforcements or even camps nearby. It would be very dangerous if they encountered a team of strangers.

To deal with strangers, it may be necessary to assemble an army, rather than a small-scale raid like this.
