Chapter 62

"See what it is?" Zhao Mai, with his shield, could only see the silhouette. Those creatures are so cunning that they don't come out of the woods at all. Similarly, they don't leave. From time to time, they throw a few stones or branches to declare their existence.

This kind of harassment bothers the group of four. They have to keep an eye on what's going on in the woods. They can't relax for a moment. But if we say to rush in and launch an attack, because we don't know the situation of the enemy, no one dares to make this decision easily. They can only pick up the group and walk downstream along the river bank, hoping to find a more suitable terrain. If only we could reach some human village.

Zhao Mai had some impressions of the maps on both sides of the Youyan River and knew that it was basically a barren area. In the past many years, the river has been slowly moving to the west by constantly eroding the ground, leaving a large number of damaged old riverbed. For a long time, such actions have created a strange scene of vitality on one side of the Youyan River and desolation on the other. On the side close to the farmer's forest, the river flows under the tree roots, while on the side of Zhao Mai, the old river bed is barren.

As far as the Raven plain is concerned, there are only a few small villages, all built around some sweet wells, not on both sides of the Youyan river. A few people may have to walk all the way to Langer, near the shore of ash lake, to get help. This news will have a very bad impact on morale, so Zhao didn't say it.

Anxious mood unconsciously began to appear in several people's hearts, but no one showed it. The three exchange students in Yingyi community, who are also the best among the Druid apprentices, have excellent psychological quality. At least up to now, they have not complained or quarreled with each other.

"I can't see clearly. Maybe it's a group of dog heads." The person with the best eyes should belong to Lucius, who uses bow and arrow to suppress, which is one of the reasons why the other side has not rushed up yet. Zhao Mai analysis, it is very likely that he shot the first arrow hit the target, otherwise it is difficult to explain the other party's sudden timidity.

"Doghead can see things in the dark. If it's dark, we'll be in trouble." Zhao Mai looked at the sky: "it's noon now. These people still don't want to give up after they've been with us for several hours. It's very unlikely that they will give up in the next few hours. Now we have to decide whether to find a place to defend or... "

"We'd better try to cross the river and let the river become our defense."

"Is it necessary to run for a few koeheads?" Lucius also thought Zhao Mai's idea was a good one, but he just didn't want to admit it.

"Take the initiative in the battlefield first." "Even wolves will move, surround and fight back," Zhao said

"But it's very dangerous for you to cross the river with such a heavy load. Although the current here is not very fast, the water surface is wide and the depth below is unknown. You can't swim through it. " Said afra. But when she said that, she had already agreed to the plan of crossing the river.

"There's a bundle of rope in my backpack, but it's almost enough." Zhao Mai unknowingly took the command of the team: "let the owl fly by, fly around the tree twice, and then let the gibbon pass. Aphra, see if you can get the monkey to hold on to the rope all the time. Two ladies go first. Lucius, don't you have a problem with that? " Lucius shook his head.

"I'm good at swimming. Shall I swim first?" Purple month volunteer said. "I can hold my breath for five minutes. Most fish can't swim me."

"Then you are responsible for dealing with emergencies, OK?" Zhao Mai arranged: "you are our security guarantee."

"No problem!"

They walked a few hundred meters and came to a place where the river looked wider but the current was relatively gentle. Ziyue opens Zhao Mai's knapsack and praises "a lot of things" while taking out a bundle of ropes and throwing them to the owl. Then she used gestures and whistles to command the bird, let it grasp the rope to fly across the river, found a tree, made a few circles on the branch, and even wrapped the rope tightly.

Of course, you can't expect the rope to be completely tied up. Afra then grabbed the side of the river bank and let her gibbon climb over. The rope was loose, but it held on. "Hold on to the rope!" It's the first time that the girl called so loud.

"I went first, hee hee!" Ziyue rushes into the river and plunges into it. With the help of a rope, he swims fast. When she got ashore, she tied a knot on the rope and waved to afra.

The enemy in the forest is not a fool. He rushed out immediately when he saw this scene. Lucius raised his hand, shot two arrows, hit one, knocked one of them down, and rolled on the ground, howling. However, there are still ten koeheads, holding various weapons, shouting wildly and rushing across the Bush line.

"Who can entangle the skill, casting one at the place where there are many people!" Zhao Mai still calmly commanding: "afra, you go quickly!"

Afra grabbed a little grass from the ground and scattered it. With the sound of her chanting, a lot of vines came out of the barren ground. Too late to react, a few koeheads bumped in, or tripped, or tied hands and feet. Unfortunately, the original vegetation here is too sparse, and the effect of entanglement can not be fully exerted.Zhao Mai took advantage of this time to take over the rope and tied it to his waist. "Lucius, come to me and shoot. I'll cover you!"

Doghead is already throwing his javelin. Although none of them can hit, it also reduces Lucius' shooting percentage. Lucius would love someone to cover for him. Standing behind Zhao Mai, many javelins are the things Zhao Mai needs to worry about with shield.

The cheetah has rushed out, got into the dog's head crowd, and disturbed each other with its sensitive pace. Koeheads carry weapons, whether spears or machetes, which still pose a great threat to underage cheetahs. Lucius's shooting skills are not enough to support the animal partners in the melee, so he dare not give the order of full attack.

When a javelin flies in, Zhao Mai looks at the right time, tilts the shield at an angle, and then shoots out. Fortunately, the Kobold is not strong enough to block the javelin without much effort. At this time, a Goutou man threw out his dagger and used it as a throwing weapon to kill Zhao Mai. How to defend a multi-directional attack has been discussed by Ranger Karl. Even without the absolute defense of the spare tire shield, Zhao Mai can take care of it.

After all, this wooden shield is much lighter than the spare tire.

A bow and arrow shot past, but also down a dog headed man. But next, it's going to be close combat. Zhao Mai half squatted body, clenched the giant tooth beast gun, ready.
