Chapter 265: Pursuit
Seeing that the commander was not dead, the commander of Xiazhou Army breathed a sigh of relief and started to think about the word "bounty" again.
While He Chunhua was fleeing from the giant ape, He Lingchuan had already rushed in the opposite direction. He took out the Tenglong Spear from his storage ring and stabbed the giant ape's right eye. This big monkey was more than ten feet tall when he stood up. Even if he was riding on a horse, he still needed a spear to pierce it.
When the giant ape saw him, his eyes suddenly turned red, obviously remembering the aggrieved past when he was pressed under the walnut boat. Then the bone armor above the eye suddenly stretched out, completely covering the right eye.
He Lingchuan's spear, then immediately pushed up.
The black gold spear head was also mixed with meteorite iron from outer space when it was forged, and its sharpness and hardness were not comparable to ordinary swords.
The bone plate was broken, and the Tenglong Spear pierced into the giant ape's right eye, and blood spurted out.
However, the resistance of the bone armor was very large, and He Lingchuan's remaining strength was old, so the tip of the spear did not penetrate deeply into the eye. He was hanging in the air, and was just trying to find a way to pull out the gun and stab it again, when the giant ape let out a terrifying roar and grabbed him!
The speed of the hand was even faster than before.
He Lingchuan thought it was slow because of the word spell, but he was not prepared for it. The word "stagnation" on its forehead shattered at the same time and dissipated into nothingness. It can be seen that this shot greatly stimulated its ferocity, and even the word spell could not restrain it.
He Lingchuan suddenly felt that his body was imprisoned, and his blood and qi were squeezed out of his limbs and head, and only one hand was still waving outside. He was like a balloon, which could be easily squeezed and burst.
The Fusheng knife was also stuck at the waist and could not be pulled out.
Elder Liang witnessed this scene and said in a lost voice: "How is it possible!"
He practiced this word spell for a full twenty-five years, and in the middle, he practiced the closed mouth formula for fifteen years, that is, fifteen years to pretend to be dumb and not say a word. In this way, the usual efforts of intensive practice were all concentrated on the nurturing of the word spell, which became deeper and deeper.
This one-word spell has less burden and backlash on him. As for its power, even if it is cast on the master of Chuanyun Pavilion, it cannot be removed in just a few breaths.
But this giant ape did it. Why?
He Chunhua's eyes were bloodshot: "Chuan'er!"
Other Xiazhou soldiers bravely stretched out their guns to poke, but how could they break the bone armor of the ghost ape?
It was just a tickle.
The giant ape would not be polite. As soon as it caught He Lingchuan, it squeezed hard! With its strength, it could easily squeeze He Lingchuan to yellow.
But it suddenly felt empty in its hands, and the full feeling of squeezing was gone.
It opened its palm and saw that the little thief who hurt it twice had indeed disappeared out of thin air!
However, there seemed to be something in the palm of its hand, very small and light. Before the giant ape could take a closer look, it was blown away by the wind.
At the same time, He Lingchuan suddenly appeared behind it, and before the ghost ape could react, Fusheng had already unsheathed.
The cold light cut through the ghost ape's ankles, cut through the gap in the bone armor here, and cut the Achilles tendon in half!
The ghost ape howled in pain, turned around to grab him, and took a step back at the same time.
This step was heartbreaking.
He Lingchuan was also shocked.
If he hadn't thrown out the ghost shadow cicada shell in time and performed the technique of replacing a dead body with a dead body, he would have burst like a balloon.
He Chunhua's sadness and joy changed instantly, and he immediately said: "Chuan'er, give me the ghost eye bow!"
He Lingchuan dodged the ghost ape's attack, took out the ghost eye bow and arrow with one hand, and threw it without thinking.
Yes, how could he forget this treasure?
But he was reluctant to exchange his life for power.
He Chunhua took the bow and arrow in his hand, but did not use it himself, but stuffed them into the hands of the guard beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Shoot!"
The guard also took the bow and arrow without hesitation and aimed at the giant ape.
The ghost eye on the bow began to spin around, whispering in his ear. The personal soldier said in a serious tone: "I will sacrifice five years of my life!"
After accepting the sacrifice, the ghost eye opened immediately and locked onto the giant ape's face.
With a "swoosh" sound, the arrow was shot off the string.
The giant ape not far away seemed to know how powerful it was, and sat down to avoid the arrow shot at the face.
However, it knew nothing about the characteristics of the ghost eye bow, so it suffered a great loss. The arrow flew behind it, and it turned a corner and accelerated back again.
After all, it actually had eyes behind its head, and it temporarily grew another hand from its back and grabbed the arrow fiercely.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
With a muffled "bang", the ghost ape was shot in the right back, and a large mass of flesh and blood was blown away.
From He Chunhua's angle, he could see a big hole in its right chest.
"Kill it!" He gave an order, and the Xiazhou troops rushed up.
The ghost ape's right eye and right chest were severely injured, and its left Achilles tendon was cut off, and it was no longer as brave as before. As the saying goes, a broken drum can be beaten by thousands of people. The bone armor at the wound has fallen off and can no longer withstand human swords and guns.
The pain of the wound made it retreat. The ghost ape stood up, jumped and crawled, and ran quickly to the suburbs, ignoring the arrows and spears behind it. Any obstacles in front of it were knocked away.
Its left leg could not touch the ground, but it still had three limbs to run. Now it was running for its life, so its speed was really not slow.
The Xunzhou people also knew that the situation was over. It was impossible to compete for merit today. The Xiazhou people became more and more capable as they fought. There were also many practitioners mixed in. The magical skills blessed by Yuanli were really unbearable.
If they didn't leave, they would be wiped out here. The armless Lord Baili, under the protection of his personal soldiers, sounded the retreat.
It was called retreat, but it was almost the same as running away.
The Xiazhou army was in high spirits. He Chunhua pointed out Zeng Feixiong and two other generals and ordered them to chase them fiercely.
In the military camp, He Lingchuan rushed to comfort He Chunhua: "Dad, are you okay?"
"Maybe a rib was broken." He Chunhua's face was a little pale, "It's not a big deal."
He Lingchuan looked around and saw that many soldiers in Xiazhou were killed and wounded, especially the ghost ape's throwing, which directly crushed more than 20 people. The disciples of Chuanyun Pavilion joined the army for the first time, and several of them were injured.
Medicine ape Lingguang came out from nowhere and began to help treat the wounded.
Food was thrown everywhere, and many tents and carriages were still burning.
But compared with the serious consequences of the military supplies being robbed, this loss is really negligible.
If this batch of military supplies was really robbed, not only would the northern front be shaken again, but the prestige that He Chunhua had worked so hard to establish would also be hit.
He said to He Chunhua: "Dad, you take charge here, I'll go chase that monkey."
He Chunhua knew that the ghost ape was seriously injured and the threat was greatly reduced, so he nodded: "Be careful of Dong Rui."
He Lingchuan blew a whistle, and the mount beast ran out from nowhere and stopped in front of him. Just now, it was a mess here, and he was worried that the beast would be injured. Now it seems that this guy is very smart, and his body is still smooth and not damaged at all.
After changing horses, he called Mao Tao, Shan Youjun and others to chase after the giant ape.
Before leaving the camp, he seemed to hear He Chunhua assigning another task: "Go to Bailu Town to check the situation, quickly!"
Yes, Xinhuang was attacked here, and I don’t know what the situation is in Bailu Town. The defeated Xunzhou army also retreated there. However, the direction of the giant ape’s escape was exactly the opposite of the Xunzhou people, so he couldn’t check it along the way.
It’s not difficult to track the giant ape. This guy’s wound is like a waterfall, and the bloodstains left are very obvious even in the dark.
The most important thing is not to let it disappear from sight. He Lingchuan didn’t forget that this thing can grow or shrink.
Fortunately, the terrain outside Xinhuang Town is quite flat. There are only one or two small hills after walking for a few miles. There are very few big trees and shrubs all over the ground.
This kind of terrain is the least popular with monkeys.
He Lingchuan led his men to follow it, and only needed to keep the back of the giant ape in his field of vision.
The wounded beast was the most terrifying. Now they had less than ten people and no army to assist them. The best solution was to try to consume the ghost ape's physical strength.
The bigger it was, the harder it would be to last.
Sure enough, after following for ten miles, the speed of the ghost ape slowed down significantly.
It was not easy to walk on three legs, not to mention that there were so many wounds on the body that were bleeding. The faster it ran, the faster the blood flowed.
Just at this time, Shan Youjun suddenly reminded him: "Boss, in the sky!"
He Lingchuan looked up and saw that there seemed to be a flying bird circling in the night sky, and it was not small.
Strictly speaking, it was circling over the giant ape's head.
"That's Dong Rui's other demon puppet." He Lingchuan squinted, but it was impossible to see if there was anyone on its back in the night.
In other words, the rock wolf did not complete the task.
Just at this time, a few wolf howls came from not far away.
He Lingchuan looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw a black dot running from a distance, getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision.
Speaking of rock wolf, the rock wolf is here.
Its tongue was sticking out, white mist was coming out of its mouth, and everyone could hear its huffing and puffing. Judging from its appearance, it had been running for a long time.
"What's going on?" When the rock wolf and the beast were running parallel, He Lingchuan asked it, "Where is Dong Rui?"
"On the back of the bird!"
It turned out that the rock wolf left the battlefield after receiving the order, and sniffed the scent of the ghost ape all the way back. Since Dong Rui sent it, it should be able to find its owner by sniffing back in the opposite direction, right?
This idea was indeed correct. Soon it found Dong Rui's figure more than a hundred feet away from the Xiazhou military camp.
He was squatting on the roof of a civilian house and looking at the battlefield, wearing the bronze mask on his face, and a bald bird on his shoulder.
When it was close, the rock wolf could also smell his scent -
It would never mistake this scent. New and old hatreds suddenly surged into his heart.
It hid itself in the shadows under the house and approached quietly.
However, Dong Rui's spiritual awareness was too sharp, especially the bald bird on his shoulder, which seemed to be able to sense the coming of danger. It cried out "quack", forcing the rock wolf to jump and attack in advance.
Unfortunately, it was a step too late.
The bald bird suddenly became larger, kicked its feet and spread its wings, taking Dong Rui with it.
The rock wolf missed the first pounce, accelerated on the roof, pounced for the second time, bit its tail, and then dragged it to the ground desperately.
The giant bird stretched out its claws desperately to scratch it, almost scratching its eyes.
The upper and lower parts were struggling, and Dong Rui took the opportunity to cast a spell and injured the rock wolf's front paw.
This big bird was also quite powerful, flapping its wings upwards, and finally got rid of the extra burden.
The rock wolf only bit a mouthful of hair.
It was unwilling to give up, and followed the big bird in the sky all the way here, just in time to meet its master.
