Chapter 280 Li Ji
Li Ji frowned, probably thinking that although this guy's words sound nice, they may not be useful. Can I beat that guy named Yang? Don't I know the answer myself?
The other assassins were not as skilled as Li Ji, and although they surrounded the horses, they were still unable to do anything. One assassin became anxious and simply took out a slingshot and threw stones at the ponies.
The little zebras didn't know that this group of people came to catch them for meat, so they didn't know how to avoid them. One of them was hit by a flying stone and fell to the ground, making a groaning sound. Seeing this, the other zebras seemed to be able to sense their companion's pain, and they also made childish groans and gathered around it to prevent outsiders from hurting it.
The Claw Tribe members were overjoyed and rushed towards the nine ponies, shouting and quacking.
Among the horses, a small black figure dashed left and right, avoiding other horses of different sizes, and ran towards the nine little dragon zebras at a flying speed. It was Cheng Huang Qisheng. Although it was a bumpy and rocky ground, it could run as fast as if it was on flat ground.
Chu Xiaomu was shocked, but could not stop it. He could only watch Qisheng rush into the encirclement formed by the Claw Tribe.
Qisheng's eyes were wide open with anger, his right hoof kicking and scraping on the stone ground, he made a fighting posture to meet the enemy, and made a humming sound of protest from his mouth.
The Claw tribe members found it strange that this little black horse was not afraid of death and rushed in, while most of the other horses were afraid and avoided. One of them laughed and said, "This horse is so stupid that it came here to die. We are worried about not having enough food!"
Li Ji pulled his claws out of the wild horse's neck and ordered: "Everyone, hurry up and catch a few and get on the road. It will be troublesome if the people from Bicheng catch us." The wild horse fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out like a few small springs, and it twitched on the ground for a while before it stopped moving.
After hearing this, several of the other Claw tribe members took out slingshots and flying stones from their pockets and spun them above their heads, making a whirring sound.
Chu Xiaomu knew that Qisheng was Chenghuang, the reincarnation of the divine horse that had saved everyone's lives, so he had to save him. He hurriedly said to Su Mishun, "Shunzi, aim more accurately and shoot the one who is the farthest away."
Although Su Mishun was timid, his archery accuracy was the best among the ten members of the horse herding team. When Chu Xiaomu said that he wanted to shoot people to save the horses, he was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "Are you going to...save the horses? Won't we be exposed?"
Chu Xiaomu said angrily: "Don't worry about that, just shoot!" He rarely gets angry, but he suddenly spoke in a harsh voice, which scared Su Mishun.
Su Mishun had no choice but to bend his bow and draw his arrow, then shot an arrow at the Claw tribe member who was standing farthest away.
The Claw Clan assassin was screaming and waving his claws to grab a few ponies, not realizing that he was about to die. The arrow seemed to have eyes, and it flew over and shot into the middle of his forehead and out of his head. The Claw Clan assassin didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground on his back, motionless.
The Claw tribe members were shocked to see one of their companions suddenly fall down. They had no time to catch the surrounded ponies, so they shouted loudly and retreated quickly.
After Su Mishun shot an arrow, he immediately hid his head, fearing that he would be discovered by the Claw Tribe. No one dared to stick their heads out, waiting for Chu Xiaomu's order.
I only heard a Claw tribe member say: "Ciruk, there are people from Bicheng!"
After a while, Li Ji shouted, "Who is hiding in the dark and hurting people? Come out and die quickly. Our Claw Clan warriors can leave you with an intact body!"
Chu Xiaomu and the others were shocked by his ferocious method of killing a wild horse with one claw, and dared not say a word. Chu Xiaomu quietly looked up and saw that this section of rocky road was still very long. Even if he crossed the Shishui River, the other side did not seem to be flat. He was very anxious.
After a while, no one from the Claw tribe answered. The skinny assassin said, "Ci Luke, I think the people from Bicheng are afraid of your reputation and dare not come out."
Li Ji gnashed his teeth and said, "The people of Cangmu Country are full of tricks. Everyone, find that man. We will not be able to relieve our hatred unless we skin him alive!"
The Claw Tribe searched for a while in the rocky ground, but could not find even a shadow. Li Ji pointed toward the herd of horses and said, "The man should be hiding among the horses. Let's go in and pull him out!"
But the horses were a little scared of them. When they saw them approaching, they all crowded inwards, one after another, so that the Claw Tribe could not pass through at all; moreover, most of these people were injured, and they did not dare to force their way into the herd. Some were even trampled by the military horses when Bicheng raided the camp, and they were still a little scared when they saw the horses. They just stood outside the herd to observe for a while, and then reported to Li Ji that they could not find the archer.
Li Ji cursed, "What a bunch of useless things!" He suddenly jumped onto the back of a wild horse, stood on the horse's back and looked around the herd.
The wild horse was frightened and started running and jumping around.
Li Ji grabbed the horse's ears with his claws and stood on the horse's back as if he were standing on flat ground. He looked at the herd for a while, but saw only densely packed black, white, red or yellow horse heads, and no human beings at all.
Chu Xiaomu and everyone else huddled under the horses' bellies, carefully following the herd, not daring to even breathe.
After searching for a while, Li Ji became impatient and jumped off his horse, saying, "The people of Bicheng are all cowards, there is no need to be afraid. We can just catch a few wild horses and leave, no need to worry about them!" He thought that they were still in the territory of Bicheng and were still in danger, so they could not stay here for too long. He ordered his men to surround Qisheng and the zebras again.
Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to ask Su Mishun to shoot the man again, but Su Mishun said he dared not to do it again.
Zhou Weide called him a coward, took the bow and arrow from Zhou Weiyi, stood up and shot an arrow at Li Ji.
But the leader of the Claw Clan was different after all. He noticed the sound was different and knocked the flying arrow to the ground with a wave of his claw. He also immediately found Zhou Weide's location and pointed at him and shouted, "Kill that kid first!"
A few Claw Clan assassins who were less seriously injured no longer cared about the horses and pushed their way towards Zhou Weide, shouting and cursing in the Chisha native language, which was unpleasant to the ear.
Zhou Weide was not afraid either, and he shot arrows at the assassins who were pushing forward. One assassin was unable to dodge and was hit by an arrow on the shoulder, bleeding immediately. He became even more ferocious, scratched a military horse that was blocking the road with one claw, and pushed forward a few steps.
Chu Xiaomu saw that everyone had been discovered and was being approached by these assassins in the herd. His spears and swords were simply no match for the opponent's sharp claws, so he could only shout, "Everyone, use your bows and shoot, and fight them!"
Everyone climbed onto their horses. Lin Zhen, Ling Weidou, Wu Sheng and Zhou Weide, who had horn bows and arrows in their hands, drew their bows and shot at the approaching Claw Clan assassins.
