Chapter 71: Arrows! Arrows!!
The Odin warriors who came running from afar suddenly stopped in their tracks and shouted at Xia Ya with swords and knives from a distance.
Just at this moment, a strong gust of wind blew by, and a huge axe chopped down. Xia Ya had no choice but to hold up his fire fork to block it!
Clang!
A loud humming noise, the axe head broke on the spot, but Xia Ya felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his arm almost unable to lift. He looked up to see a bear warrior standing beside him, holding half an axe!
What great strength!!
Xia Ya retreated quickly while facing the sacrificial altar and roared in anger: "Don't you dare let these monsters continue!"
As he spoke, he raised the fire fork and fiercely poked another hole in the thigh of the sacrifice.
The old priest finally let out a scream, shouting a few times in the Odin language, and those beast soul warriors suddenly seemed to have heard an order, stopping one by one, staring at Xia Ya with green flames flickering in their eyes, panting heavily through their mouths and noses.
Xia Ya swiftly retreated to the side of Sharba and Kato, grasping the neck of the sacrificial victim, without paying attention to what those Odin people were shouting from afar. Anyway, he couldn't understand those intimidating curses.
He raised his hand and cut off the cow tendons on the two men's bodies with a fire fork. The two immediately jumped up and surrounded Xia Ya, who swung his hand to chop down a branch, handed over the sacrifice to Sharba, and then poked at the green flames in the fire pit with the branch. Suddenly, one end of the branch ignited into a green flame, turning it into a green torch.
Xia Ya waved a green torch at the beast soul warriors around her, who were apparently very afraid of this green flame and retreated several steps. Xia Ya and two companions quickly retreated into the forest.
On the one hand, they confronted Odin's people and retreated on the other. These Odin's people obviously attached great importance to this sacrifice and were extremely cautious about its safety, constantly shouting and drinking.
Xia Ya and others soon left the forest and came to the side of the mountain slope, which was about 4 or 5 meters high.
"Jump down, quickly!"
Xia Ya turned her head and shouted loudly at Sharba, Sharba and Kato exchanged a glance, grabbed the sacrificial person and rolled down the mountain slope.
A height of 45 meters is not too high, and the slope is not too steep. When the two landed, Xia Ya also came down, but Tu Bao jumped down directly.
At this moment, those Odin people on the mountain slope had chased to the edge of the mountain slope, looking at Xia Ya and others jumping down, and suddenly shouted loudly.
Xia Ya only then saw clearly, the opposite side was also a mountain slope, and the low-lying flat terrain in the middle of the two mountain slopes, which was only about a few hundred meters wide, had become a battlefield! The ground was full of corpses, as well as dead war horses and reindeer abandoned by cavalry, and shattered knives, swords, weapons, and armor were also visible everywhere!
There were also some Odin warriors who were clearing the battlefield, and as soon as they saw Xia Ya and the others, they immediately surrounded them from all sides. Xia Ya forced the high priest to shout a few times, and those Odin people retreated far away, not daring to come forward again.
Looking south, the exit of the valley was only over a hundred meters away. The three Xia Ya quickly ran south with the sacrifice, while the Odin people behind them were in hot pursuit, but Xia Ya occasionally stabbed two forks on the sacrifice, making the Odin people dare not pursue too tightly.
Those beast soul warriors were charging at the front, Xia Ya still held that green torch in his hand, but the branches had already burned more than half, and the torch was getting shorter and shorter.
At this moment, on a nearby hillside, Keke Lan looked at Xia Ya and his two companions with a gloomy face.
He has received the following report.
"Scoundrel! How could you let a lurking Byzantine hijack the sacrifice!" Kekulan's face no longer showed that gentle and warm smile, twisted in anger - his current anger was much stronger than when he knew his brother had died in battle.
An Odin warrior pointed at Xia Ya in the distance and said a couple of words, and Keke Lan's eyes lit up instantly!
"Oh? So this is the Byzantine warrior who killed my brother? Haha... interesting... " Kekelan's anger on his face instantly subsided, he narrowed his eyes and gazed at Xia Ya, who was retreating in the distance, suddenly laughed and turned to take down a half-person-high large bow from behind the chair made of beast bones.
The bow's body was also a snowy white, and it was unknown what kind of beast bone it was made from. On both sides of the bow's horns were inlaid two fist-sized gemstones that shone with a milky whiteness.
Keke Lan lightly drew her bow, but there was no arrow on the string. She took aim at Xia Ya in the distance.
"Since we can't save the adults, then there's no need to save them! Rather than being captured by the Byzantines and taken back, it's better to die here." Kokolan's tone was very calm, with a hint of cold smile at the corner of his mouth: "Besides...the murderer who killed my brother must be killed, otherwise how can I explain myself to my beloved father?"
Buzz!!!!!
Xia Ya was retreating when he suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound in his ear! He raised his head and saw a silver light spot in front of him on the left! The light spot quickly transformed into a ball of light in his line of sight, getting bigger and bigger, flying towards him!
In an instant, a chilling sense of danger enveloped his entire body! The light seemed to carry a crisis that made Xia Ya desperate! He suddenly let out a loud roar and frantically used the fire fork to block the light with all his might!
Bang!!
Xia Ya's entire body flew backward, heavily slamming into the ground. His right hand, which was grasping the fire fork, had several cracks burst out on his forearm, with fresh blood spurting out! Even a few of his fingers were broken!!
Great! So strong!!
Xia Ya's heart sank to the bottom of the valley! Just a single arrow shot from afar had easily shattered his own dragon-blood enhanced body!?
Fortunately... the fire fork is still intact.
Kato rushed over to help Xia Ya up, but Xia Ya suddenly pushed him away and shouted loudly: "Run! Run!!"
After finishing speaking, he grabbed Katuo and threw it southward with all his might.
"Hmm, he can actually block one of my arrows... This guy is indeed the brave warrior who killed my brother, at least a mid-tier Byzantine warrior."
Keke Lana's pale face had a increasingly soft and gentle smile, her fingers once again pressed against the bowstring...
Buzz!!
The sound that rang out again made Xia Ya's heart skip a beat, but this time the silver light didn't shoot towards him!
The head of the sacrifice held by Sharuba was shattered under the silver light! The silver light not only shattered the sacrifice's head, but also blasted Sharuba's shoulder into a bloody mess!
Even if Sharuba was tougher, he couldn't withstand this heavy blow. He let out a grunt and fell backwards. Xia Ya exerted himself to rush forward, grab Sharuba and put him on his back, then turned around and sprinted towards the mountain valley entrance with large strides. He ran with all his might, each step jumping out several meters!
The death of the sacrificial ritual, those Odin warriors behind had no scruples, especially those beast soul warriors, suddenly let out a loud roar and rushed up!
Kato had already run to the valley, seeing Xia Ya still behind, just about to turn back to help, Xia Ya was already frantically yelling: "Don't wait for me! Run fast! Damn it, run!!"
At this time, the third chord of the bowstring sounded!!
Buzz!!!!!
The sound came from far away, Xia Ya's heart skipped a beat, with Sharuba on her back, she couldn't let this guy get shot! Xia Ya gritted her teeth and turned around fiercely, puffed out her chest, and faced the incoming silver light, swinging out her fire fork again!
But he was injured after all, and this time the fire fork finally couldn't block the silver light...
With a loud crash, the silver light shot directly at Xia Ya's chest! His outer leather armor instantly turned to dust in the silver light! Then the inner armor also shattered in an instant!
A crisp and clear sound, this sound fell into Xia Ya's heart, but was filled with despair...
Dragon scales... have been pierced!!
A chill ran directly through the dragon scales and into Xia Ya's chest, he let out a loud roar, his eyes turned black and he flew backwards, flying over ten meters in an instant! As he was still in mid-air, a large mouthful of black blood spurted out from his mouth, that blood instantly froze into ice blocks!
When Xia Ya fell to the ground, Sharba behind him let out a painful cry, several bones were broken, and the dragon scale on Xia Ya's chest also split in two!!
Xia Ya's chest wound was deep enough to see the bone, but the wound had already frozen into a piece of ice crystal! Not even fresh blood flowed, but all turned into a layer of crimson frost.
Xia Ya spat out a mouthful of black blood, but suddenly became clear-headed. He saw the Odin people rushing over from afar, and at this moment, he had just fallen to the entrance of the valley.
Kato grabbed Xia Ya's arm and pulled him up with all his might, then the three of them rushed out in a fluster...
※※※
“…………”
Ke Ke Lan's face was calm and a bit strange, he watched Xia Ya rush out of the valley, his fingers originally placed on the bowstring, but at the last moment, a hint of weirdness flashed in his eyes, yet he finally relaxed his fingers, turned around and put that strange big bow on the bone seat.
This effeminate Odin noble's face broke out into a strange smile.
"Hmm... being shot in the chest by my arrow and still able to run, this guy is quite interesting..." He immediately lifted his head and coldly said to the people beside him: "Pass down the order, no need to chase them out of the valley."
After finishing speaking, Keke Lan sat down on the bone seat, with one hand supporting the armrest and gently pressing against her forehead, closing her eyes to think for a while...
Being able to withstand two arrows and not die is already a strong person. A strong person should not die in humiliation... A strong person should have a matching identity death method. This guy from Byzantium, I hope to kill you with my own hands on the battlefield.
