Chapter 227 Reinforcements
Chapter 227 Reinforcements
The sky is clear and sunny, and the sky is covered with snow.
In the fierce cold wind, a ball of red flame more than one meter tall was jumping in the air. It looked extremely enchanting and could be seen even from miles away.
The team that came to provide support from Xiaofengzhuang also noticed the strange phenomenon here.
"There's a fire over there, and I thought I heard the sound of a bell just now!"
A soldier pointed into the distance.
"Where did the fire come from in this icy and snowy place? Could I have seen it wrong?"
Against the light, Fang Chang put his hands on the pergola and looked at a ball of fire dancing in the air in the distance. He immediately showed an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Master Lu, may I ask what this is?"
Fang Chang knew that he was not very smart and had limited knowledge, but he was thick-skinned and asked questions when he didn't understand.
Lu Zixuan beside him sat upright on the sled, one of his legs hanging a little loosely, but his back was straight.
He has always been happy to show off his knowledge in front of others.
Lu Zixuan leisurely stroked the corner of his clothes, wiping off some floating snow. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he said, "That's the phenomenon that occurs when a warrior ascends the stairs. As the saying goes, the first step is like bathing in wind, the second step is like bathing in fire. You can tell by the blazing fire that the person is ascending to the second step. Wait a minute! The second step..."
An unnatural curve flashed across Lu Zixuan's lips, and a tall figure suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Impossible, it can't be him. He clearly just ascended the stairs not long ago..."
Lu Zixuan's sudden mumbling to himself aroused Fang Chang's curiosity, "Master Lu, who is he you are talking about? Do you know who this person who climbed the stairs is?"
"I don't know! I don't know anyone!" Lu Zixuan's face suddenly turned cold for some reason. He was very talkative just now, but now he became silent, which was unusual for him.
Fang Chang thought to himself that this guy was really weird. Since the other party was unwilling to say more, he didn't continue to ask.
He turned to look at the dog training sergeant in front of him who was controlling the reins, wanting to learn how others controlled the dog sled.
"Um...what has Chen Changfan been doing recently? I don't think I saw him today."
Behind him, Lu Zixuan's somewhat unnatural voice came, but the wind was too loud and Fang Chang couldn't hear it clearly.
The image of a master that he had been trying so hard to maintain was almost lost.
"Hmph! You're suffering for your dignity!" The burly old man next to him still had a bandage on his arm, but he looked serious.
"Hurry up! You must not be interrupted while climbing the stairs. If you fall, the consequences will be disastrous!"
……
In mid-air, the figure in the golden-red flames finally gained a firm foothold after taking the seventh step.
He had just taken his seventh step, and his usually steady figure began to shake noticeably for the first time.
The nameless flames were golden and red, as if they could burn everything in the world, constantly tempering his body and even the tendons throughout his body.
Compared with the previous steps, the pressure of this seventh step increases sharply. Correspondingly, the flame becomes hotter and the effect of quenching the body becomes more obvious.
call!
suck!
Every breath caused the surrounding air to vibrate, and terrifying power quickly accumulated in the body.
When this force gathers to a certain level, it flows like a river, circulating along the tendons throughout the body. You can clearly feel the changes in the tendons, which are somewhat different from before.
To outsiders, he seemed to have merged with the flames, but he could easily feel the changes in the outside world.
As if he had suddenly gained a God's perspective, he could clearly see the battle situation below, and his eyes could not help but become colder.
The greedy rat was seen dashing left and right in the crowd, and every attack was a killing move. Once hit, the person would be either dead or disabled. However, the soldiers still fought bravely and fearlessly, and the scene was extremely bloody.
"Climb the stairs in seven steps! Such a monster must not be allowed to stay. I will kill it today!"
The gluttonous rat slapped a soldier to death with one palm, snatched the spear from the latter's hand, and then stretched his arms and gathered strength at his waist, like a slowly opening bow.
"For such a major event as ascending the stairs, you only found this ragtag group of people to protect you. You are still too immature. This shot today will teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, the gluttonous mouse curled up a cruel smile, pointed the spear directly at Chen Changfan who was standing in the air, and then threw it fiercely!
Seeing this scene, Chen Changfan's pupils suddenly shrank.
But he had just stabilized his body, and it was impossible for him to dodge. But if he took the shot head-on, he would definitely be seriously injured, and it would be difficult for him to climb the stairs again.
Accompanied by a sharp scream, the spear pierced the sky and shot towards Chen Changfan with terrifying force.
When he was less than one meter away from it, just when Chen Changfan was about to end his ascent early, an arrow suddenly shot out and hit the spear accurately, forcing the spear tip to turn directly and pass directly past the ball of fire.
"Who is it? How dare you ruin grandpa's good deeds!"
The gluttonous mouse turned around in anger, only to see hundreds of hunting dogs running towards this place on the hillside not far away, dragging some strangely shaped "carts" behind them. Hundreds of soldiers on top of the "carts" had solemn expressions on their faces, and were advancing quickly in the wind and snow.
On the leading cart, a young man in a black robe held a longbow, aiming it at the target from a distance. His ruddy mouth curled up in an uncontrollable smile as he muttered to himself, "Hit it! I actually hit it!"
"Well done, disciple! Keep shooting arrows to hold that old dog back, so we can go and raid for our friend Changfan!"
Xiong Qing couldn't help wanting to applaud, but suddenly realized that one of his arms was still broken, so he had to give up for the time being.
shhhhhh!
Arrows were shot out one after another, and they all hit the gluttonous rat one after another. However, the defense of a fourth-level warrior was extraordinary, and the damage caused by the arrows was limited. However, they finally provoked the latter and diverted its attention to this side.
"Where did you come from, old man? You're not retreating immediately after seeing this sharpshooter. Do you think I'll kill you with arrows?"
Lu Zixuan prided himself on his extraordinary archery skills, and with so many people backing him up, he spoke much louder.
But the next moment, the gluttonous rat threw several javelins in succession, and everyone's faces changed.
"Get out of the way!" Xiong Qing shouted to the dog training squad. Fang Chang, who was not far away, patted Lu Zixuan on the shoulder and shouted, "Master Lu, quickly shoot arrows to stop those spears!"
Lu Zixuan shot three arrows in a row, all of which missed. He cursed awkwardly, "What a joke! That last arrow was just a fluke. How is it possible to intercept a spear with an arrow?"
Fortunately, the soldiers in the dog training class did not place their hopes on Lu Zixuan. They drove their hunting dogs to hide early, and the sled team escaped this round of attack without any danger.
"kill!"
