To be honest, Xia Pingan was also startled. He did not realize that there were people hiding underground in front of them.
Those desert bandits were like poisonous snakes hiding underground. They dug a hole underground and covered their bodies with soil and stones. They hid in the path of the camel caravan and jumped out of the ground as soon as the camel caravan appeared.
The desert bandits that jumped out of the ground were wrapped in black cloth from head to toe. Their faces were not even exposed. Only the eyes of the desert bandits could be seen wearing a wolf-head mask inlaid with crystal lenses. On the mask, there were a few breathing copper pipes that extended from the lower jaw. They looked wild, murderous, and a bit punk.
After the first desert bandit jumped out of the ground and killed a guard of the camel caravan, he viciously slashed at a nearby camel caravan rider with his knife.
Desert bandits and arrows constantly jumped out of the ground and shot out. They were sharp, fierce, and tricky …
Each of the centipedes was accompanied by one to two bodyguards. In the blink of an eye, five bodyguards and one rider of the camel team had been wounded or killed by the bolts that drilled out of the ground. They screamed miserably and fell to the ground.
There were not many desert bandits who came out of the ground. There were only about ten of them. Including Xia Pingan, there were only about twenty people in the camel caravan.
"Bang …"
A gunshot sounded. A desert bandit that was rushing towards Mu Li and Xia Pingan was shot in the wolf-head mask by Mu Li. There was a hole in the wolf-head mask and blood spurted out from it. The desert bandit did not die. He only staggered and shook his head. Then, he screamed and continued to rush towards Mu Li and Xia Pingan.
Mu Li, who was smoking a cigarette, suddenly had a copper revolver in his hand. He was firing at the desert bandits.
"Bang … Bang …" Mu Li's revolver spun and hit the desert bandit's chest twice in a row, knocking him to the ground.
The other camel guards and riders also reacted very quickly. From the moment the first person shouted the word 'desert bandits', the guards and riders took out their swords and guns to fight with the desert bandits who were charging at them from a close distance.
However, these desert bandits were ferocious and far more powerful than ordinary people.
Three more guards and riders fell. Only one desert bandit was shot in the lower abdomen and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, as soon as the two sides came into contact, almost a third of the camel caravan had fallen, while only two desert bandits had fallen.
Mu Li swiftly shot down a desert bandit with his gun. Then, he took out a pitch-black iron spoon, put it in his mouth, and blew hard. The iron whistle made a sharp whining sound. Hearing that sound, all the The Centipedes in the caravan quickly changed their formation. Originally, The Centipedes were advancing one after another, head to tail. But when Mu Li blew on the spoon, all the The Centipedes suddenly curled up into a circle, like a wall, protecting all the people in the caravan in the middle.
The Centipedes were huge and moved fast. When these Centipedes reflexively changed their formation, two desert bandits who rushed over were hit by the Centipedes' huge bodies. They immediately spat out blood and rolled down the slope.
"Brothers, desert bandits rob goods and never leave anyone alive. Fight with these desert bandits and we still have a chance to live …" At this critical moment, Mu Li summoned the courage of a camel caravan captain. He roared and fired continuously with his pistol, injuring the arm of another desert bandit not far away.
Just as Mu Li finished firing six bullets and was about to reload his pistol, a desert bandit seized the opportunity and nimbly jumped up from the ground. Like a wolf, he passed through The Centipede's defense circle and pounced in front of Mu Li in an instant.
The defensive formation of The Centipedes only gave the camel caravan a little defensive advantage. This advantage was lost in the blink of an eye in the face of some agile desert bandits.
"Go to hell …" The desert bandit roared and slashed the machete in his hand directly at Mu Li's neck.
It's over …
Mu Li's face changed. These desert bandits were highly skilled in martial arts. Once they got close, it would be over.
Then, at this moment, Mu Li saw an icicle flying from the side. It accurately pierced through the wolf mask on the desert bandit's head, smashing the head of the desert bandit into pieces like a watermelon. His entire body flew backward and landed heavily on the ground.
Mu Li was overjoyed. He turned his head and saw the gentle-looking Xia Pingan raising his hand at the flying desert bandit.
Another desert bandit screamed and jumped from the outer circle onto The Centipedes' back. The desert bandit held a crossbow and aimed at Mu Li. Without thinking, he pulled the trigger at Mu Li.
The arrow shot towards Mu Li's chest, but just as it was about to pierce through Mu Li's body, a light blue water shield appeared in front of Mu Li. The arrow was immediately blocked by the water shield.
Before the desert bandit could take out his machete, Xia Pingan rushed over with a long sword in his hand. He directly stabbed the desert bandit in the chest and killed him on The Centipedes' back. In the next second, Xia Pingan jumped onto The Centipedes' back and threw a fireball. Twenty meters away, a desert bandit who had just killed a guard was turned into a burning torch.
The moment Xia Pingan made his move, he killed three desert bandits in a blink of an eye, almost turning the situation around at once.
Originally, Xia Pingan didn't want to take action. If he did, it would increase his chances of being exposed. However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to take action. Therefore, Xia Pingan had to take action.
Summoner!
The remaining desert bandits turned pale with fright, but the remaining guards and riders of the camel caravan were suddenly invigorated. Just as the few desert bandits were about to turn around and flee, one of the guards seized the opportunity and took out a short rifle with a sawed-off barrel. With a single shot, he shot a desert bandit in the head and killed him.
Mu Li, who reacted, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brothers, we have a summoner. We are not afraid of them …"
Mu Li's mouth seemed to have been blessed. Just as he shouted this sentence, a loud rustling sound came from behind a small hill not far away. Then, one, two, three … A large group of desert bandits appeared on the hill.
There were about two to three hundred desert bandits. All of them wore wolf masks on their heads and rode on three-meter-long scorpions. They looked at the camel caravan in the middle of the valley with murderous intent.
The leading desert bandit was still wearing armor. Beside him were two other desert bandits who were holding maces. They stared coldly at Xia Pingan and the others.
F * ck!
There were more than these few desert bandits!
Xia Pingan thought to himself. There weren't many desert bandits in front of him. He could summon the Storm Cavalry and kill them all in one charge. However, this would expose more of his strength …
Mu Li's roar came to an abrupt end.
The desert bandits on the hill didn't hesitate at all. As the leading desert bandit waved his hand, all the desert bandits rode on huge scorpions and charged directly at Xia Pingan and the others, causing a large amount of yellow sand to fly.
Not only that, the desert bandits also spread out like a pack of wolves and surrounded Xia Pingan and the others.
"Brother, you are a summoner. If you can run, run. You just killed a few desert bandits. If you fall into the hands of these desert bandits, you will definitely suffer a fate worse than death. I am sorry that I didn't send you to Serene Mountain this time …" Mu Li's face was already pale. His lips trembled as he turned his head to speak to Xia Pingan.
Not only did Mu Li's expression change, but the others in the camel caravan who were still alive also revealed looks of despair when they saw so many desert bandits.
Upon hearing Mu Li's words, Xia Pingan didn't want to run anymore. He was thinking about how he could quickly kill all these desert bandits while minimizing the exposure of his own strength.
The aura of the leading desert bandit was different from the surrounding people. The bandit leader was staring at him and seemed to be a summoner. His aura was probably at the Two-Sun realm.
When Xia Pingan had shown that he was only a One-Sun realm summoner, the bandit leader felt that he could definitely defeat Xia Pingan.
Just as Xia Pingan was about to make a move, Xia Pingan suddenly stopped and looked at the sky.
In the sky, three summoners broke through the clouds and flew directly towards them. Judging from the attire of the three summoners, they seemed to be … seemed to be the summoners of the Great Shang Nation's border troops …
Indeed, the leading desert bandit leader who was charging forward also saw the three summoners flying in the sky. The bandit leader didn't even think and immediately turned his huge scorpion around to run.
However, no matter how many legs the scorpion had, it couldn't be faster than the summoners flying in the sky.
The three summoners descended from the sky and flew above the desert bandits. One of the summoners waved his hand and a large amount of fire rain fell from the sky, igniting dozens of desert bandits and their huge scorpion. The desert bandits were burned until they wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves. All of them were turned into human-shaped torches that scurried around on the ground.
The other summoner was even more ruthless. With a wave of his hand, a black fog surged in the sky. Hundreds of icicles flew down from the sky and directly nailed the hundreds of desert bandits who were charging at the front to the ground.
Amidst the sizzling sounds, the desert bandits and their huge scorpion mounts were bloodied and sent flying. Their bodies were all covered in bowl-sized bloody holes.
Another Summoner quickly caught up with the fleeing bandit leader. He pointed at the ground, and the sand on the ground suddenly turned into a large area of sliding quicksand, directly sinking the fleeing Scorpion and burying it.
The bandit leader riding on the huge scorpion was shocked. He immediately jumped off the huge scorpion and wanted to run. The summoner who summoned the quicksand trap waved his hand, and a pitch-black assassin suddenly emerged from the black fog behind him.
The summoned assassin moved as fast as lightning. With a tap of his foot on the ground, his figure flickered in and out of existence. In a few flashes, his figure seemed to be dancing as he easily dodged the net, icicles, flames, and the encirclement of the summoned warriors. In an instant, he appeared beside the bandit leader. A cold light flashed in his hand, and the head of the bandit leader, who was still wearing a wolf mask, flew into the air and rolled on the ground …
A Two-Sun Summoner had been easily killed by an assassin summoned by another Summoner on this stretch of yellow sand.
