No matter how much confidence Qian Weining had accumulated earlier, he should have known that the arrow had missed its mark. It was impossible for it to hit any of the bandits.
However, after the arrow disappeared into the night, the bandits on the opposite hillside continued to wail.
Qian Weining first asked the guards beside him, "Were they the bandits you were aiming for?"
The guard next to him said, "President Qian, we were suppressed to the point where we couldn't even lift our heads. No one fired an arrow."
Qian Weining's expression turned strange. What was going on?
But before he could think further, another group of bandits who had sneaked up from the foot of the mountain were slowly approaching. When Qian Weining saw the moving figures, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't be distracted! Hurry up and stop the enemy!"
When Ren Xiaosu saw Qian Weining stunned, he knew that things were not going well.
Just now, when Qian Weining drew his bow, Ren Xiaosu controlled Old Xu to ambush the bandits. It was like an assembly line and he did not notice that Qian Weining's arrow had been shot at an incorrect angle.
He had been too careless!
But it didn't matter. Ren Xiaosu knew how to remedy the situation.
At this moment, it was as if everything had returned to normal. Qian Weining was still shooting an enemy with each arrow, while the number of bandits was decreasing rapidly.
In just half an hour, there were only about ten bandits left out of more than a hundred. Furthermore, they were still unable to get close to the wall surrounding the caravan's carriages.
The leader of the bandits was filled with hatred. He really wanted to kill the caravan's guards to avenge his brothers, but he also understood that he had lost the upper hand.
"Retreat!"
With that order, the dozen or so surviving bandits turned around and ran into the mountains.
Some of the guards wanted to give chase but were stopped by Qian Weining. "Don't chase after them. Collect the bandits' longbows and arrows first. Then, split into teams and follow me to examine their corpses!"
With that, Qian Weining leaped out through the gap in the wall surrounding the carriages and headed straight for the hillside where the bandits had been. He did not care if there were any ambushes outside.
The guards looked at each other and followed closely behind. No one knew why the usually calm President Qian had suddenly become so impatient.
When everyone climbed up the hill, everyone saw that the corpses of the bandits were strewn all over with an arrow stuck between their eyebrows. The guards exclaimed in admiration, "President Qian's archery skills are truly godly!"
"That's right. Every arrow hits the forehead. How did he train to do that?"
Everyone said this to flatter him, but most of the time, it was from the bottom of their hearts. Looking at the entire Sorcerer Kingdom's Royal Army, there were not many people who could practice archery to this level.
However, Qian Weining did not pay attention to the guards' flattery. Instead, he looked around for any suspicious corpses.
In the next moment, he suddenly saw a corpse that didn't seem right. Others had been pierced through the forehead, but this person's arrow … was pierced through the top of his skull.
It was as if an arrow had fallen from the sky and landed straight on the bandit's head.
One of the guards praised, "President Qian is really amazing. I thought the arrow that missed just now was a miss. I didn't expect President Qian's archery skills to be so amazing. It looked like it missed, but there was actually a hidden trick."
These words made Qian Weining confused. Listening to everyone's praises, he himself was a little confused about the situation.
However, he still felt that this arrow might have been a little too much …
Just as the guards were flattering him, the dozen or so bandits fled all the way into the deep mountains. The extremely embarrassed bandits did not notice that there was a black figure quietly following behind them.
Suddenly, the bandit leader slowly stopped in his tracks. He pulled out the saber at his waist and stared straight ahead. "Who's there?!"
A figure dressed as a bounty hunter flashed out from the end of the mountain road, holding an orange Eye of Truth tightly in his hand. "You guys are really disappointing."
In the night, the orange Eye of Truth had a purple eye that flickered and dimmed, flashing like it was breathing. The bandits all looked at this bounty hunter with fear and immediately tightened the muscles all over their bodies.
"You didn't say that the other party had a godly archer in the team," the bandit leader roared angrily. "Dozens of my brothers have all died in his hands. I've never seen someone with such accurate archery. Who is this person you want us to kill?! How can there be such a powerful expert protecting him? "
The bounty hunter sighed. "You're stupid, but you say that the opponent is powerful. There's no so-called godly archer in the team at all."
"How is that possible? Is it also fake that all my brothers were nailed between their eyebrows?" the bandit leader said.
"Forget it, I don't need to waste time with you." The bounty hunter asked, "Where's the gold coin? Since the mission is not completed, I can't let you take the gold coin away."
The bandit leader sneered. "Then didn't my brothers die in vain? I won't tell you where the gold coin is. Also, you'd better think carefully. I know what you look like. If the fact that you want to assassinate a wizard today is exposed, you know very well what the consequences will be. "
Bounty hunters were supported by a wizard family, but they were also pawns that could be abandoned at will by the wizard family. According to the rules of the wizard organization, anyone who assassinated a wizard would be attacked by all the others.
This was a rule that everyone had to follow. You could bypass this rule, but you couldn't directly break it.
Therefore, even when killing a small wizard like Mego, the person behind the scenes had to find a scapegoat in advance.
The bounty hunter smiled calmly. "Are you threatening me? No wonder you have fallen to this remote mountain and become bandits that cannot see the light of day. "
After saying that, the Eye of Truth in the bounty hunter's hand lit up, and he faintly chanted a spell.
The bandits saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape, but before they could run far, a blue line of ice burst out from the bottom of the bounty hunter's feet. The ice line emitted a dense chill, and the winding shape on the ground was as irregular as a crack on a glacier.
The ice line was extremely fast. The moment it caught up with the bandits, they suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The chill spread along the soles of the feet, and white frost covered the bandits' bodies at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bandits turned into ice sculptures running with their backs facing the bounty hunter, and their skin all turned ice blue.
It was now early summer, and the sudden appearance of more than ten ice sculptures in the hot air looked very scary.
The bounty hunter did not stop. Instead, he chanted the spell for the Wind Binding Spell again, turning the invisible wind into invisible ropes and forcibly crushing all the ice sculptures into pieces.
However, when the bounty hunter cast the Wind Binding Spell on the last bandit, he realized that his Wind Binding Spell did not crush the other party.
The bounty hunter was stunned for a moment. "What's going on? How can it not be broken? "
After a stalemate of silence for three seconds, Old Xu, who was wearing a white mask, turned around, picked up a branch, squatted down, and wrote on the ground. "Why don't … you try again?"
