Chapter 207 - 207 – The Rescue (4)

"Okay, okay! I will handle this!" Miro tried to control his horse which was moving wildly, while keeping the Merman's body from falling.

"Sorry, we go first!" Leva passed Miro along with Eric.

Jia looked back, took out a wooden tube bomb with a wick from under his robes, and clasped it in his armpit. Then, he rubbed two fire stones against each other. One time he couldn't do it because he had to keep his balance, and on the second try, he failed too. Only on the third occasion did he manage to burn the bomb's fuse, which immediately began to smoke.

"A gift!!!" The bastard threw the bomb backward. The bomb rolled on the ground toward the horse Leva was riding.

The red-haired woman had tried to swerve her horse, but her ride only moved slightly from the track. Maybe it happened because Leva wasn't good at riding a horse.

"Shit!" Levi cursed.

The bomb exploded with a thunderous sound. Leva's horse wasn't directly hit, but the explosion's impact was enough to knock him down. Leva's body was thrown far away before finally landing with a loud thud.

The woman groaned in pain. She held onto her left forearm that bent in the wrong direction.

I checked the red-haired woman. And when I found out she was still alive, I went back to Eric. Well, Leva didn't need help because she would definitely get better on her own.

Fortunately, Miro had managed to control his horse and joined the chase.

Now, we left the meadow, passing through a barren stretch of land with no plants at all.

"Are you sure that rifle won't explode again!?" Eric shouted.

The female Merman took aim with her weapon again.

"I don't know, but we have no other choice!" Miro answered while shrugging his shoulders. "She has been fiddling with this thing. We can only hope for the best."

"Shoot it! Aim for the horse's body!" I gave the order when Miro's horse distance had advanced enough.

The rifle managed to spray high-pressure water this time, hitting Jia's horse directly. The horse immediately fell, sending Kat and Jia flying. Kat was the one who had the most impact. If Jia was fully dressed, the girl was rolling on the ground completely naked and tied up. I could see her whimpering in pain, but she didn't break a bone. Her head also didn't hit the ground. Only the wounds on her body made me wince. The multiple friction wounds on his body were flesh-colored and bloody.

Jia got up with difficulty and removed his mask, revealing his head which was apparently full of burn marks. The top is only covered with sparse hair. The man looked more like a monster than a human.

"How dare you get in the way of our love!" Jia took out a rope with stones tied at both ends, twirled it in the air, then threw it.

The rope sped through the air, spun around, then entangled the leg of the horse Miro was riding. The horse fell hard. Fortunately, Miro had time to hug the Merman's body tightly. The two of them rolled on the ground, with Miro protecting the Merman.

When they finally stopped, the Merman on top of Miro looked at the man's face. Miro just closed one eye, did not look in pain at all. Meanwhile, the Merman did not get injured. The half-fish seemed to be talking, perhaps thanking its savior.

Why can Jia throw like that? This is not normal. I checked the parameters of that bastard.

[Jia, 33 years old (Nomad Leader)]

Ranged Attack: 78/100

Melee Attack: 83/100

What the fuck? Last I saw, this bastard's ranged attack stat was still in the single digits. Is there a trait that allows him to increase stats in a short time?

Jia starts twirling the second rope. I immediately shouted at Eric to just jump. Controlled jumps are much better than sudden and unplanned jumps. I'm also sure Eric can do that well. He's well trained.

Before the horse's legs caught the rope, Eric jumped and rolled on the ground with his arms folded across his chest. Sure enough, he didn't get any significant injuries and could get up straight away without any trouble.

However, now the rocky rope threw at Eric. The man still managed to dodge, though his temples were grazed by the rock on the rope. It did bleed, but luckily it wasn't too deep.

Ah, maybe Eric jumped too fast, so Jia still had time to change the direction of his throw.

Sitting on the ground, the Merman tried to shoot with her rifle, but the weapon wouldn't respond properly. So, the half-fish creature was hitting the thing to get back to work.

Miro patted the Merman's shoulder, then stood up. Eric's horse had run off to nowhere. Miro's horse was able to untie its legs and run too, while Jia's horse lay covered in blood.

In the area full of dust flying like smoke, Eric was already walking towards Jia with his katana drawn. Miro took the oversized hammer from his back and stepped forward too, ready to strike.

Their goal is clear, to save Kat, who is struggling to untie her body. She squirmed on the ground, a few meters behind Jia.

Jia's teeth gritted, his eyes glaring at my two male colonists. He took out other things from under his robes. Two brass knuckles made of metal.

"I was already intending to leave the group so that the two of us could live happily!!!" Jia roared like a hungry beast, already wearing the brass knuckles. "Why did you have to destroy our dreams!!!"

"I think your definition of happy is different from ordinary people," Miro replied in a cold tone. "Let me guess, you forced Kat to see the torture you put on those women, right?"

"Kill Him." I snorted in anger. People like this shouldn't exist in the world.

"I will kill you, and I will live happily with Kat!!!" Jia started to run forward to my two colonists, already standing in a row. "Argggghhhh!!!"
