"Prepare the bows and arrows!"
Hong Yi raised his hand and gave the order. More than three hundred soldiers immediately spread out under the leadership of the Commandant and Corporal. They found cover and at the same time, took out the bows on their backs and nocked the arrows.
At the same time, the three brothers of the Black Hawk Stockade and the Five Elders of the White Cloud also became nervous. They each took out their own strong bows and paid close attention to any movement in the surroundings.
The soldiers of the Green Battalion all used silk bows that weighed sixty kilograms. They could shoot within a hundred and eighty steps and were lethal. As for the three brothers of the Black Hawk Stockade and the Eight Silver Moon Guards who were disguised as men, their martial arts were at the Martial Warrior realm. However, their bows were made of tendons that weighed sixty kilograms.
As for the Five Elders of the White Cloud, Mu The Younger, Shen Tiezhu, and Hong Yi, they were all top Martial Masters. They used the Ironwood Blackbone Divine Bow, which had a shooting range of four hundred steps. They could shoot from the forest into the Serpent Gorge.
After the ambush was hidden, there was a deathly silence. In the Serpent Gorge, there was only the sound of flowing water. There was no sound at all. There was no one in sight. Some protruding rocks blocked the view of the outside of the gorge.
From the looks of it, there was no ambush at all. However, the low voice of the two Lion Kings and the erect fur clearly told everyone that there was a powerful ambush ahead.
"I'll go take a look." Chi Zhuiyang's body was like a cat. He held the Penetrating Rainbow in his hand and leaped out like a leopard.
Recently, Chi Zhuiyang's martial arts had improved greatly. This move was clever, swift, and silent. It was a vivid display of the realm of a Xiantian expert.
When Hong Yi saw Chi Zhuiyang go out, he silently used his spirit. A cold wind rolled up and he came out of his shell. He followed behind Chi Zhuiyang.
Just as Chi Zhuiyang sprinted out of the forest and landed in the Serpent Gorge that was filled with streams and pebbles, he sprinted for seventy to eighty steps. All of a sudden, on both sides of the long gorge that blocked his vision, many archers wearing steel scale armor and black helmets suddenly appeared. They looked like iron demons.
There were a total of twenty archers, and the bows in their hands were all jet-black. They were all Black Ironwood Blackbone Divine Bows! The arrows were also carved feathers.
At the same time, each of these people had a large saber on their back. The hilts were wrapped in gold and silver threads.
Hong Yi felt a little numb. These people were actually shooting in rapid succession. They turned the arrows in their hands and held them between their fingers like a fan. Then, they nocked them on the bow, sealing off all of Chi Zhuiyang's escape routes.
With this skill, even the archery experts and elite troops of the Da Qian army could not compare.
"How can there be such elites among the pirates?" Hong Yi was shocked, but he did not use any Taoist techniques. Because he knew that these arrows could not cause any harm to Chi Zhuiyang.
There was no other reason, because Chi Zhuiyang was wearing a full set of Silver Shark Armor.
A superb Silver Shark Armor that was impervious to swords and spears.
Indeed, Chi Zhuiyang lowered his body, retracting his limbs and head. His whole body was like a ball, rolling around. More than 10 arrows hit his body, but they did not penetrate him. Instead, they bounced off the ground.
Following which, Chi Zhuiyang leaped up and sprinted back. In an instant, he had taken more than 80 steps and retreated to the edge of the forest, just out of the range of the Ironwood Black Bone Mystical Bow. Then, he opened Penetrating Rainbow in his hands. Shua, shua, shua! Five arrows pierced the eyes of five soldiers.
A Xiantian expert using Penetrating Rainbow could kill from 700 to 800 steps away. Although these people were wearing fish-scale armor, they were only 480 steps away. With the power of Penetrating Rainbow, it was enough to pierce through the eyes that were exposed through their helmets.
Five corpses fell to the ground!
A sharp whistle came from the canyon. This group of iron demons immediately flashed back into the crevices in the rocks, as though they had never appeared.
"These are the archers of the Iron Demon Army, Yun Meng's elites! Their archery skills. Yes, it's their archery skills. I can be sure that they are from the Iron Demon Army! "
Chi Zhuiyang flashed back into the forest and said to Hong Yi. At this moment, Hong Yi had also returned to his shell and opened his eyes. "As expected! On this Giant Whale Island, there are not only pirates, but also experts from the Yun Meng Empire. How could Yun Meng not know that the Pacification Navy has mobilized such a large force to suppress the bandits? I just don't know who else is hiding inside. "
Although Hong Yi had just used dao techniques and activated the Evil Vanquishing Peach Sword, he might have been able to kill all of them. However, by doing so, he would expose himself too much. Secondly, he wanted to train the troops under him. Thirdly, the Peach Sword was an unparalleled treasure. On this Giant Whale Island, there might be people who cultivated dao techniques and knew their stuff. If they were discovered, he would be in trouble.
"What do we do now?" Chi Zhuiyang asked Hong Yi.
"One word. Wait!" Hong Yi waved his hand. "Our whereabouts have not been exposed. You went out alone and killed five of their elites. They don't know our background. Even if there are Yun Meng's men, there are not many pirates on this Giant Whale Island. Now that the army is pressing in, they will panic. This group of experts is lying in ambush here. I think they want to take the opportunity to quickly annihilate our men, and then switch to other places to engage in guerilla warfare! This will cause people to panic and be on guard. Now that they have not annihilated us, it is impossible for them to keep lying in ambush. They will definitely not be able to resist and make the first move. "
"My Lord is wise. We will lie in ambush here and compete in patience!" Yang Yingming listened to Hong Yi's clear thinking. It was the intelligence that a commander should have. He was impressed and could not help but go forward to flatter him.
Just as Hong Yi was biding his time, an incomparably strange and indistinct sigh suddenly rang out from the canyon. It sounded like someone was whistling.
"What's this sound?"
Just as everyone was wondering why, a large stench suddenly blew through the canyon with the wind, causing them to feel depressed and want to vomit.
The two Lion Kings raised their fur again and bared their teeth.
"Snakes! So many snakes! "
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier exclaimed. Hong Yi's eyes moved. He had already seen it clearly. In the stream of the Snake Colony Valley, there were suddenly many densely packed, colorful snakes. They followed the stream and swam rapidly towards the forest. These snakes were like pancakes with triangular heads and beautiful patterns on their bodies. One look and anyone could tell that they were venomous creatures that sealed their throats the moment they saw blood.
These venomous snakes numbered in the hundreds and thousands. Just looking at them was enough to make one's scalp go numb, let alone killing them. Eight hundred steps … seven hundred steps … one six hundred steps … five hundred steps … Everyone's palms were sweating profusely.
A few soldiers could not help but draw their bows and shoot into the distance. However, before they could touch the snakes, they fell into the water.
"Who fired the arrows without permission? Who fired the arrows without my orders? When we return, you will receive ten strokes of the stick! "Hong Yi's eyes glinted coldly as he looked at the few soldiers who couldn't help but lower their heads.
Just as the snakes were about four hundred steps away, the Golden Spider suddenly let out a strange cry. Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of water splashing could be heard. The snakes that were originally neatly swimming over seemed to be frightened by something. They suddenly became a mess and scurried backward in panic.
The Golden Spider cried out repeatedly in a very pleased manner. The venomous snakes became even more alarmed and scurried backwards in a disorderly manner. The Snake Canyon was in chaos for a moment.
The Iron Demon Army archers hidden in the crevices finally couldn't help but rush out one by one to avoid the venomous snakes' bite.
In their panic, these venomous snakes had scurried to their feet and even climbed onto their bodies!
"Sunchaser, Iron Pillar, Mu The Younger, White Cloud Five Elders, follow me out and shoot these people! The rest of you, follow closely behind! "
When he saw this situation, Hong Yi jumped up and scurried out of the forest. Soon after, a group of experts followed him out and swiftly closed in on the panicked Iron Demon Army archers.
The many experts beside Hong Yi were like wolves and tigers, ruthlessly pouncing over. When they were three to four hundred steps away from them, they retaliated with arrows.
A dense rain of arrows landed on the metal armor with clanging sounds. These were the arrows of the White Cloud Five Elders. The arrows of Hong Yi, Mu The Younger, Shen Tiezhu, and Chi Zhuiyang all landed squarely in the eyes of the Iron Demon Guards.
Some of these Iron Demon Guards had snakes wrapped around their bodies, so they had no time to retaliate. Their eyes were instantly pierced and they fell to the ground.
By the time the three hundred soldiers had gathered at the center of the canyon, the Iron Demon Guards were all dead.
The aura of the Golden Spider pressed closer and the venomous snakes hurriedly retreated. By the time Hong Yi's group arrived beside the corpses of the Iron Demon Guards, the venomous snakes had long since fled.
"Strip off their armor, put away their bows and arrows, and pick up their sabers! Gather the corpses together. "Hong Yi gave the order.
As soon as he gave the order, dozens of soldiers immediately swarmed over and stripped the fish scale steel armor and helmets off the bodies of the 20 dead men. Clattering sounds could be heard.
"These Fish Scale Armor are authentic Iron Demon Dace Armor forged by Master Yun Meng. It's forged from cold steel and doesn't require fire. It takes a lot of effort, but it's light and sturdy. Each set is worth a thousand taels of silver." Chi Zhuiyang said, "These people are all powerful Martial Masters. In this forest, they can easily annihilate hundreds or even thousands of people if they fight in a mobile battle!"
Clang!
Hong Yi pulled out a huge saber. It was snow-white, and the blade was extremely sharp. It was forged from top-notch black steel.
"Twenty sets of Iron Demon Dace Armor, twenty sets of black bone bows, thousands of eagle arrows, and twenty Xuanmeng Steel Divine Sabers. The harvest is not small! These twenty experts are enough for Sir to make a great contribution! "Yang Yingming said.
"Hahahaha, haha, haha, if you make a contribution, you have to be alive to go back to get it." Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the depths of the canyon, and a voice came out, "I underestimated you. There's actually someone in the Pacification Navy with a Golden Spider?"
Hong Yi looked over and saw a green-robed man with green eyebrows at the end of the canyon. This person stood there alone, not afraid of Hong Yi's army of three to four hundred people.
"Green Eyebrows!" Hong Yi moved, "Take him down! This is the Second Island Master of the Giant Whale Island Pirates, Green Eyebrows! "
Hong Yi had read the information of the silver merchants and knew that there were three Island Masters among the Giant Whale Pirates. One of them was Green Eyebrows.
If they could take down Green Eyebrows, they would have made a great contribution!
