20, rescue

Chen Ting calmed down, pulled out a bamboo arrow and clipped it to the beef tendon bowstring, pulled it hard to the saturation point, squinted one eye and aimed at the back of one of the cannibals who was carrying Xiyu in the distance.If it goes well, this bamboo arrow can pierce that person's heart in an instant.

In the exclamation of Xiyu and another female, Chen Ting released his middle and index fingers without hesitation, and the bamboo arrow shot out of the air accompanied by the shrill shout and strange music, towards the back of the cannibal. Heart away.

With a sound of 'poof', the sharp bamboo smoothly pierced through the flesh under the impact of swift and violent force, and pierced into the man's heart. Before he even had time to shout, he stopped moving and fell to the ground.

The accident happened in an instant, because bamboo arrows cannot make a huge noise, so only the four or five people who were responsible for carrying the female found the abnormality.When they saw their companion lying on the ground with a bamboo stuck in his back, blood gushing out, they began to scream in panic.

The cannibals who were eating the baby's corpse heard the shout and hurried towards this direction, while Chen Ting, who was far away on the tall pine branch, shot the second arrow again.This time the aim was not enough, the bamboo arrow pierced the neck of a cannibal, but accidentally pierced his main artery from the side, blood gushed out like a fountain, the man convulsed twice in pain and died.

The cannibals were completely shocked by this sudden accident, they looked around in a panic, at the same time, the third, fourth and fifth arrows were shot one after another, and three more people fell down.The ferocious but experienced cannibals immediately judged the direction of the attack from the three arrows. The leader-like man pointed in Chen Ting's direction, and the others picked up their spears and followed him. In the past, but there are still three or four cannibals left to guard the remaining three females and a baby.

Lue Shang and Mike, who were hiding in the grass on the other side, were waiting for this opportunity. They quietly approached the bonfire square in front of the cannibal tribe. When shooting arrows, they hit each other's body with their slingshots, and at the moment when they were dodging from the pain, they quickly rushed in front of them, and stabbed each other's heart with the spear in their hands without hesitation.Three or four people were quickly killed, and Lueshang and Mike hurried over to untie the ropes on the three females and their children. Mike took Xiyu and one female, and Lueshang held the child and pulled the other female, turned around and walked towards Run for the planned escape route.

When Chen Ting saw them running away from a distance, he was really relieved.However, he knew that the crisis in front of him had not been resolved, and the dozen cannibals under his feet were still searching for his trace.The closer they were to each other, the more he couldn't shoot arrows again, otherwise his behavior would be easily exposed.And in terms of climbing trees, I am definitely not as good as those cannibals who can pull vines to come and go freely between branches.Chen Ting slowly squatted down, using the cover of pine branches to hide himself.He was waiting for the cannibals to go away. As long as they left, he could climb down the tree and escape by the way, which was the safest way at present.

The cannibals are greedy and cruel, but they have been able to scare other tribes for so many years, it is absolutely impossible to rely on these two points alone.Most of the time, they have smarter minds and more flexible bodies than other tribes, and they are very adaptable in the face of crises.Shot from the third bamboo arrow, the tribal leader had accurately located the attacker. He led the clansmen carefully approaching where Chen Ting was, using his excellent night vision ability to capture everything around him.They searched under the pine tree for a long time. Judging from the leader's experience, the archer should be nearby, but they didn't find anyone.The others looked at the chief, waiting for his order.The other party looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one there, he made a forward gesture and continued to search forward.

Chen Ting waited on the tree for a long time, the night was getting late, he couldn't see his fingers in the forest, and he couldn't see clearly after the cannibals walked about thirty steps.After cautiously waiting for a while, until the surroundings became a little scary, he was sure that the other party had gone far away, put the bamboo bow on his back, and returned to the ground with the dagger.The environment around the ground was still very quiet, and no one seemed to think that the other party might be hiding in the trees.Chen Ting breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the way he came.However, after walking about thirty or forty steps, he suddenly stopped.He clenched the dagger in his hand and looked around vigilantly.At this moment, the depths of the dense forest were obviously deathly silent, but he always felt that a pair of cold eyes were staring at him in the dark, as if... the sense of threat from the unknown creature in that huge pit.

Chen Ting tensed his body, turned his head and continued to walk forward. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from a high place...

………………

Lue Shang and Michael ran for a long distance with three females and a baby in their arms. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they left the forest and came to an open area by a river.After helping the three weak females to sit on the stones by the river, Lueshang carried the child to the river and put a handful of water on his chapped lips from crying.Dad has been thrown into a pothole to feed to unknown monsters. The little guy has long been hungry and thirsty. As soon as he feels the sweet river water, he actively opens his mouth and sucks slightly Shang's hand. Poor look.

"Mike, where's Ah Ting?" Xiyu, who came to his senses, suddenly thought of Chen Ting, and hurriedly grabbed Mike and asked.

Mike patted him and comforted him: "Don't worry, Ah Ting came out from the other side. We made an appointment to meet here."

"But Ah Ting can't run fast, he will be in danger by himself." Xiyu said worriedly.

Mike and Lueshang looked at each other, Xiyu's words were also worrying in their hearts.But under the circumstances at that time, they had no other choice but to adopt Ah Ting's plan.

"Xiyu." Lueshang walked up to him with the child in his arms, "A Ting's leg is injured, but even such an injured A Ting led us to rescue you. I believe he must have a way to escape." Yes. He asked us to wait here for him, so we will wait a little longer. Trust me, if Ah Ting doesn’t come back before dawn, Mike and I will definitely go back to find him.”

Xiyu looked at Lue Shang tearfully for a long time before nodding his head with difficulty, "I'm worried, but I believe in Ah Ting." He didn't know what else he could say, but for now, they could only wait.

This open land is close to the middle section between Yinla tribe and Lueshang tribe, so it is relatively safe.Even at night, the moonlight above the head shines on the river surface, forming a layer of silver-white light, which will not make people fall into the darkness and be at a loss.Lue Shang and the others didn't dare to light the bonfire, so they could only use the moonlight to dig out the food they brought and put it in the river water for the three females to eat.Xiyu felt sorry for the child, so he hugged him and chewed up the food before feeding it to the child.The little guy lost his father and suffered so much torture and starvation in the cannibal tribe, so he was very enthusiastic about the food Xiyu fed him.

Time... I don't know how long it took while waiting anxiously, until I saw the looming orange light in the distance in the east, Lueshang and Mike, who had been trying to keep calm all the time, finally couldn't sit still.They looked at each other, then at the remaining three females and their children, and made a decision.

"Xiyu, Mike and I are going back to find Ah Ting. Although this place is far away from the range of cannibals, it is still not guaranteed to be safe. Do you remember the way back? I hope you can take them back to us first. This is the safest way." Lue Shang said to Xiyu who was fidgeting anxiously.

"Xiyu wants to be with you." Xiyu grabbed his hand and said expectantly and beggingly.

Mike shook his head and said: "No, the two of them don't know the way back to the tribe at all now. And there is a child, you go back with us, if you encounter cannibals again, we will protect you, which is inconvenient You are obedient and go back first, we promise, we will definitely bring Ah Ting back."

Xiyu bit his lower lip sadly, with tears in his eyes, with a pitiful look, "Xiyu is useless, he can't do anything." Trouble, "Xiyu just wants to find Ah Ting, even if Xiyu is arrested, it doesn't matter, please, let me follow." He blinked his watery eyes and looked at Lueshang and Mike pleadingly, and said.

Lue Shang frowned and sighed, then shook his head resolutely and said, "If you are captured again, then our adventure with Ah Ting would be in vain this time, Ah Ting dragged the cannibals by himself and asked us to take you out. He just wants you to return safely..."

"what is that?"

Before Lueshang could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the female in the gray-white animal skin clothes. He pointed in the direction of the forest in the distance, and a figure was staggering towards him.

"Ah Ting." In the dim light of the morning sun, Xiyu saw his partner's blood-stained but familiar face.

"Xiyu." The injured Chen Ting reached out to catch Xiyu who was rushing over, and hugged him tightly in his arms.

"Ah Ting, Xiyu is so worried." His heart was constantly tightening every moment of waiting, imagining the danger that A Ting might encounter, he felt his hands and feet were cold and shivering, unable to control his fear and worry.

Chen Ting smiled, and kissed Zhong Xiyu's forehead, "It's okay, don't worry, it's over."

"Are you injured?" Lue Shang saw the blood on his abdomen from the side and asked anxiously.

After he said this, Xiyu noticed the wound on Chen Ting's body, "Ah Ting, you are still bleeding." He took out a clean animal skin from his animal skin bag, and covered Chen Ting's wound.

"It's okay." Chen Ting smiled and waved his hands.

"Have they still met you?" Mike asked with a serious face.

Chen Ting pursed his lips and nodded, "I ran into the leader of the cannibals not long after I got down from the tree. He probably guessed that the archer should be hiding in the tree, so he turned back. He His action is really fast, I almost died, but fortunately I have this." He took out the dagger on his waist.

The opponent's shot was too fast, and he had no chance to draw the arrow on the bow before he was kicked to the ground.The leader was very angry when his clansman was killed, and he only wanted to kill Chen Ting.The two fought for a long time. In the end, Chen Ting felt that he was a little weak, and the lame injury made one leg unable to use his strength. The leader had obviously begun to gain the upper hand.Just as Dufang's hands were pinching his neck and it was becoming difficult to breathe, Chen Ting accidentally touched the dagger while struggling. He clenched the dagger tightly and stabbed him hard in the back of the heart, only to save him. He was killed, but his abdomen was also stabbed by the opponent's spear during the struggle.

"It's the best if you can escape back." Lueshang said with a sigh, and then said: "Now is not the time to delay, and no one knows whether the cannibals will come after them. We have to hurry and go around Go to the cave, now your wounds need healing."

"Yeah." Chen Ting nodded in approval, and Xiyu on the side obediently put one of his arms on his shoulder, supporting him with his weak shoulder.

"Xiyu will support you, Ah Ting is not afraid." Xiyu smiled at him gently.

Chen Ting was moved in his heart, and kissed his forehead lightly.

'Little fool, with you by my side, I'm never afraid! '

Afterwards, Mike opened the way in front, two females walked behind him with their babies in their arms, Xiyu and Chen Ting followed, Lueshang walked at the end, and began to walk along the river to the mountains upstream.
