Lord of the Star Ocean

Not only Wei Hongyi, but other hunters in the Bai Ling hunting team were also cautious.

They slowed down their forward speed, and were ready to fight at any time with swords and crossbows in their hands. Pairs of vigilant eyes swept across the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road from time to time.

Nie Feng couldn't help being infected by the tense atmosphere in the team, and he was very puzzled, so he lowered his voice and asked Tieshan who was traveling with him: "What's the matter?"

Tieshan said in a deep voice, "Beware of jackals!"

Jackal? Nie Feng was stunned for a moment, not understanding what jackals should be prepared for.

Jackals are the lowest level of savage beasts. They haunt the mountains and plains in groups, looking for carrion or hunting the cubs of weak wild beasts, and they also like to snatch and steal gifts from other savage beasts. Their behavior is shameless and quite cruel.

However, the fighting power of jackals is very low. Even ordinary hunters in groups don't have to be afraid of hordes of jackals. The latter dare not take the initiative to attack if they don't have a huge advantage.

How could the Bailing Hunting Team be wary of jackals?

Seeing Nie Feng's puzzled expression, Tieshan quickly added, "I'm not talking about real jackals..."

The jackals in Iron Mountain Pass refer to some bandits whose behavior is very similar to jackals. They dare not venture into the wilderness to hunt, but set up ambushes on the main road that the hunters must pass back to the city to snatch the spoils!

These bandits are very cunning. Usually they hide in the city. Most of them are members of Jianghu gangs. The team is composed of powerful leaders, and they specialize in attacking hunting teams or caravans outside the city.

The hunters hated these bandits so much that they called them jackals.

Knowing the origin of the "Jackal", Nie Feng was very surprised: "Dare the jackal to get our ideas?"

The Bailing hunting team is not an ordinary hunting team, but an all-star warrior hunter. Most of the members have the strength of high-level black iron cultivation, and forming a small battle formation is enough to compete with silver-level star warriors.

Nie Feng had never seen a so-called "jackal" when he went out hunting with other hunting teams before. Could it be that these guys dare to chew on such a tough bone as the Bailing Hunting Team?

Tieshan said solemnly: "Many hunting teams who have the same ideas as you have suffered a lot!"

Although the black iron warrior is much stronger than ordinary warriors, but without the condensed body armor, his own defense is not much different from that of ordinary warriors, and he cannot directly resist the attacks of swords and arrows.

In the past, many hunters relied on being star fighters and left the barren area to relax their vigilance. As a result, they encountered sneak attacks by jackals on the road, injured or died, and were often robbed of their trophies.

With the lessons learned from the past, the Bailing hunting team dare not be negligent, especially now that everyone has a lot of hunting, it is too easy to become the target of jackals.

Nie Feng nodded his head, it can be regarded as gaining insight again.

He took off the divine arm bow and held it in his hand, and buckled a feathered arrow at the same time.

Tieshan smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much. As long as you leave this mountain path, the front is very safe."

Out of the mountain road is the plain area outside Nanyuan City. The view is wide and unobstructed, and it is impossible to sneak attack.

"who!"

As soon as Tieshan's words fell, Wei Hongyi, who was walking in the front of the team, suddenly shouted sharply, and his sharp eyes fell on the mountain forest on the right side of the team.

Everyone's attention was attracted, and there was a bush shaking over there, as if something was hiding in it, and it was quickly retreating.

Without thinking, Wei Yingying pulled up her hunting bow and shot a feathered arrow in that direction!

The arrow entered the mountain forest, and there was no movement in a blink of an eye, obviously missing the target.

call out! call out! call out!

But at this moment, more than a dozen arrows shot from different directions on both sides of the mountain road, fast and ruthless!

"careful!"

A hunter immediately issued a warning, everyone reacted extremely quickly, and immediately dodged for cover.

Since the team had been prepared for a long time and the members of the hunting team were very vigilant, no one panicked in the face of the attack from the dark, and all the first wave of attacks by the sneak attackers fell through.

Nie Feng nimbly dodged a crossbow arrow that was shot at him. Relying on his keen perception, he instantly locked the position where the attacker was hiding, and responded with lightning speed!

Whoosh!

Among all the members of the Bailing Hunting Team, Nie Feng was the first to strike back. He drew the bow in the blink of an eye, snapped the arrow into the string like lightning, and shot it out completely relying on intuitive perception.

The attacker was 40 to 50 steps away from Nie Feng. He was very cunning, and immediately shifted his position under the cover of the forest after firing the crossbow.

But he never dreamed that Nie Feng's counterattack would be so fast. He took half a step just now, and a feathered arrow flew through the air and hit his shoulder!

Puchi!

The metal arrow made of hundred-forged fine iron easily pierced through his leather armor, pierced through his shoulder like a bamboo shoot, and nailed him alive to the tree trunk behind him.

"ah!"

The sneak attacker involuntarily uttered a pig-killing scream, but the scream stopped abruptly in the next moment, because the second feather arrow followed and pierced his throat!

"kill!"

Wei Hongyi's roar sounded again on the mountain road.

He originally kept the hunting team on alert, not because he had the foresight to know that jackals were ambushing here, but out of habitual precautions, but he did not expect to encounter a sneak attacker.

Although the attackers failed, Wei Hongyi was furious and gave the order to fight back.

call out! call out! call out!

The crossbows in the hands of the hunters were not vegetarian either. After Nie Feng shot and killed one attacker, they shot their own arrows into the forest and successfully shot down the other two enemies.

A hunter was not reconciled after shooting a crossbow, so he drew his sword and rushed into the forest.

"Stop chasing..."

Wei Hongyi immediately stopped his impulse: "Be careful there is an ambush inside!"

The mountains and forests are dense, and it is difficult to predict what traps are hidden in them, so it is not a wise choice to go in and hunt them down.

"It's cheaper for these jackals!"

The hunter spat on the ground bitterly, and retreated back into the team.

Speaking of jackals, there are almost no hunters who do not hate them.

Seeing that the enemy had fled, Wei Hongyi said decisively: "Let's go, speed up!"

As the leader of the hunting team, his first consideration was the safety of the team members, not how many enemies he killed.

For this reason, he even ignored the enemy's corpse and did not search for trophies. Anyway, jackals couldn't carry any good things with them, so there was no need to waste time.

Under the leadership of Wei Hongyi, everyone stepped forward and left the dangerous mountain road in a short time.

The front suddenly opened up, and the boundless wilderness appeared in the field of vision.

In the distance, Nanyuan City stands in sight!
