Xia Ruize, who was constantly observing the air vents on the four sides of the attic, became dignified, and he found that the situation in the city below had new changes.
Some barbarians started to run and gathered towards the north gate of the city. Before long, he vaguely saw dozens of barbarians gathered in the north of the city.
Xia Ruize felt a little uneasy. The barbarians were scattered throughout Bianlu City before, and they had never gathered on such a large scale. He wasn´t sure if this change had something to do with them
Xia Ruize informed Cheng Huaiqian of his discovery by gesture, Cheng Huaiqian's expression sank, and he thought about it in his heart. While he was resting, he got up and dragged the barbarians' corpses to the backyard, closed the door of the small courtyard, and then began to arrange in the small courtyard.
The barbarians had already shown a tendency to gather before, and it couldn´t be ruled out that the barbarians gathered to search for them, he must prepare for the worst.
Xia Ruize continued to observe the surroundings nervously, paying attention to the movements of the barbarians in the north of the city.
After a while, he found that the barbarians gathered in the north of the city began to move together. Thirty strong and sturdy barbarians, led by a barbarian leader, came aggressively towards the direction of the Jixiang restaurant.
Xia Ruize realized that it was not good, and quickly informed Cheng Huaiqian of the specific situation, telling him instinctively that these barbarians had come to look for the two of them.
Cheng Huaiqian didn't panic, and instead gesticulated to inform Xia Ruize of his tactical arrangements, and finally smiled and gave Xia Ruize a thumb up to appease him.
Xia Ruize fixedly looked at Cheng Huaiqian, feeling very complicated.
He had realized that this would be the most difficult test they had encountered, after all, there were too many barbarians!
Compared with Xia Ruize who was in hiding, Cheng Huaiqian had a greater risk of being found by the barbarians, but on the other hand, Cheng Huaiqian had a greater chance to leave this area and hide after learning the situation.
However, Cheng Huaiqian did not choose to run away and hide alone, but decided to stay and fight with Xia Ruize.
This was a reliable companion who will not leave his teammates behind at critical moments!
Suppressing the emotion that swelled in his heart, Xia Ruize knew that the focus now was to solve these barbarians who came to the door, he didn't want to die.
Xia Ruize looked at his watch, the basic time function showed that it was only 1:43 pm now, there were more than ten minutes before he could obtain a new batch of arrows, and the barbarians were already rapidly approaching the area.
Two gems appeared in Xia Ruize's hands, one was a white gem to temporarily upgrade the weapon level, and the other was a dark green poison gem. He was ready to use these two trump cards at any time.
Soon, the barbarians approached the area where the two of them were, and began to search the courtyards one by one, and four or five barbarians entered the Jixiang restaurant and searched.
Xia Ruize sat on the floor, trying not to make a sound.
Cheng Huaiqian had arranged the small courtyard, placed various obstacles at the entrance of the small courtyard, and then hid behind the courtyard door.
Soon, three barbarians searched the front of the courtyard where Cheng Huaiqian was located. Cheng Huaiqian, who was hiding behind the courtyard, pressed the white gem into a dent in the handle of the knife.
The large knife in his hand flashed white light, and a new reminder popped up on the watch:
[Large knife (white top grade) (temporary): strong attack power and strong hardness. Additional sharpness attribute, continuous bleeding attribute1]
When the barbarians kicked open the courtyard door and rushed in to search, Cheng Huaiqian handed up his knife and killed two barbarians in quick succession, the third barbarian was a small leader, he had a stronger and faster reaction, he turned around and raised his sword to fight Cheng Huaiqian.
The small leader yelled and exposed the location of Cheng Huaiqian. The barbarian leader noticed the movement there, and with a wave of his hand, the surrounding barbarians began to gather in the courtyard.
At the same time, Xia Ruize pressed the white gems and poison gems into the front ends of the crossbow in his hand. After the white light and dark green light flashed, the crossbow had new changes:
[Crossbow (white medium grade) (temporary): The attack power is greater, the rate of fire is faster, and the range is longer. Thirty arrows are replenished every hour, and one arrow is automatically added every two minutes. The number of arrows cannot exceed the upper limit. Additional poison attributes]
The increase in the number of arrows was good news for Xia Ruize now, and he noticed that the arrows of the medium-grade crossbow were replenished as they were used, and there was no need to wait until the next hour to replenish them together. It suitable for him to face a large number of enemies.
Xia Ruize set up the crossbow and aimed it at the small courtyard.
He heard the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from the stairs. The barbarians who searched the Jixiang restaurant had received the news and left the restaurant and rushed to the courtyard.
In other words, next, Cheng Huaiqian would bear the greatest pressure.
Knowing that his location had been exposed, Cheng Huaiqian, who had already killed a small barbarian leader, simply stood in front of the gate and blocked the entrance.
Since he couldn't hide, let's fight!
The first barbarian who ran to the gate of the small courtyard received an arrow and a knife in front of him.
He fell too fast, not only blocking the path of his companion behind him, but also causing his companions to not notice his lips turning black.
Cheng Huaiqian stood at the gate of the courtyard, slashing with a sharp knife in his hand at the barbarians who rushed towards him with great power. The man in the gate had a momentum that even ten thousand people wouldn´t be able to break, one barbarian came, he killed one, two barbarians came and he killed a pair.
Limited by the small courtyard gate, the barbarians could not rush too many at the same time, which gave Cheng Huaiqian more room for display.
On the other side, the arrows in Xia Ruize's hand shot out one after another. He shot one arrow to the one closest to Cheng Huaiqian, then he shot two to a little farther away barbarian, and even picked a few threatening small bosses and shot three arrows in a row, getting rid of it in one step at the time and relieve Cheng Huaiqian's pressure.
Xia Ruize was very cautious. He didn't attack the farther barbarians at all. In this way, even if the barbarians rushing in front realized that there were still people hiding in the dark, they were dragged by Cheng Huaiqian, and they had no time to escape and couldn't turn back to find Xia Ruize. The barbarians farther away just wanted to rush forward to grab the record, regardless of whether their front companions were attacked by a crossbow.
Before the barbarians had time to understand their fighting style, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize quickly joined forces to kill more than a dozen barbarians.
At this time, the barbarian leader came with his guards, and saw his fellow clan fall, his eyes were even more fierce, he shouted a few times, and immediately, the barbarian's offensive became fiercer.
Cheng Huaiqian couldn't hold the gate anymore, so he simply stepped back. After retreating to the obstacles he placed, the barbarians were blocked by various obstacles and couldn't surround him all at once. The time difference in between gave Cheng Huaiqian a chance.
Xia Ruize was fully absorbed, and quickly shot an arrow at the barbarians who entered the courtyard. As time passed, the poison spread across their bodies with the blood circulation. Their movements were affected, they became slow and stiff, and their sights were affected. Unable to focus accurately, even some of the weapons in the hands of the barbarians almost slashed their companions.
