Chapter 211: Unkillable

The sound of footsteps grew clearer, and soon, three figures appeared at the cave entrance.

Without any visible light source, three long shadows were cast outside the cave.

Ruidar quietly poked his head out from behind the Jushi, and as the shadows swayed, those three people appeared in his field of vision.

They were all burly in build, standing around 1.8 meters tall, with little difference between them.

Their clothes, made of animal skins, made them look like savages.

Ruidar muttered to himself, "Could they be from a savage tribe?"

Among the four savage tribes, the leader of the strongest, the Heiling Tribe, Qiaofuli, was only an Advanced Knight.

If these people living in the cave were part of the same group of fugitives as Qiaofuli and the others, their strength could not be much higher.

His anxious heart settled down.

He saw the three of them walk outside the cave entrance, stretch, and breathe in the outside air deeply.

They had been chatting and laughing, but suddenly they froze and went quiet.

One of them sniffed the air, "What is this scent?"

"Heavens, I smell the scent of a living person?"

"Without a doubt, this is the scent of a living human!"

"Haha, let me sniff out where they are!"

The three of them sniffed the air desperately, their faces growing increasingly excited.

Ruidar's heart jolted slightly; was the opponent's sense of smell this sharp?

He hurriedly pulled his head back and made a gesture for silence to the others behind the Jushi.

Tangmu and the others had all heard what the opponents said, and at this moment, their hearts were pounding, their nerves taut, and they didn't dare to move at all!

Step, step, step...

There was no conversation, only the sound of footsteps, and they were getting closer and closer to the Jushi where the five were hiding.

Ruidar's expression darkened; he knew they had been exposed.

Since that was the case, rather than sitting and waiting for death, it was better to take the initiative and catch the opponents off guard.

Whoosh!

With his long sword in hand, Ruidar flashed out from behind the Jushi.

Under the moonlight, his speed was as fast as a ghost, and his momentum was as fierce as a roaring tiger.

"Hahaha, there really are people!"

"Meat to eat~"

"Take him down!"

The three of them were not scared at all; instead, they rushed up excitedly.

Bang, bang!

The battle broke out, but it was one-sided.

Using his agile footwork, Ruidar dodged the joint attack of the three opponents, then used a powerful leg technique to kick two of them away, and the long sword in his hand successfully pierced the third person's heart.

"Commander is so strong!"

Tangmu and the others had just walked out from behind the Jushi and saw this scene, their mouths immediately dropping open in an 'O' shape.

Ruidar finally let out a sigh of relief.

This valley was indeed strange, but the people here were not strong.

But just as he prepared to pull out his long sword, the enemy whose heart had been pierced curled his lips, revealing an inexplicable smile.

"Caught you!"

He raised his left hand to grab Ruidar's arm, then raised his right hand, the long sword in his hand stabbing toward Ruidar's chest.

The sudden turn of events gave Ruidar a sense of alarm, sending a chill down his spine.

He had no time to think, pushed off the ground with both legs, and immediately pulled away.

Slash~

The blade still cut through Ruidar's leather clothing, leaving a bloodstain on his chest.

Ruidar opened up some distance, wanting to use Battle Qi to seal the wound, but it seemed to have no effect.

As for his opponent, despite having his heart pierced, he lunged at him as if nothing had happened.

"What is going on?"

Ruidar did not understand, dodged the opponent's attack while injured, and simultaneously pierced the opponent's body with his sword again.

This time he pulled back immediately to prevent any accidents.

Pierced for the second time, the opponent still seemed to have suffered no damage, and at the same time, the two people Ruidar had kicked away also surrounded him!

"What kind of monster is this?"

Ruidar had never encountered such a phenomenon; he could easily kill them, yet he couldn't kill them dead!

Bang, bang!

Kicking the people away again, a brilliant light erupted from Ruidar's long sword.

"Explosive Flame Slash!"

This was a Battle Technique in Ruidar's memory after promoting to Silver Grade; although it was very difficult to master, its power was proportional to the difficulty of learning it.

The extremely compressed Fire Attribute Battle Qi emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire valley.

With a boom, the Explosive Flame Slash landed directly on the lunging monster, actually blasting the opponent into powder!

Ruidar was full of question marks; his entire train of thought was a beat slow.

The power of the Explosive Flame Slash was indeed strong, but not enough to blast a person into powder; what was going on here?

What happened tonight truly exceeded his understanding.

"Aobi!"

"You killed Aobi!"

Two heart-wrenching cries shook the valley, and the loud noise just made by the Explosive Flame Slash startled the people in the cave.

"Go!"

Ruidar shouted in a low voice, simultaneously hacking out two flame slashes to hinder the opponents from rushing over.

This scene was too bizarre; he had to take his men and retreat first.

Just as they had barely left, seven or eight figures surged out of the cave. After hearing the report from the two survivors, they roared with surging anger and then chased after Ruidar and the others.

In Ziguo Village, Tangmu recounted the experience of that night with lingering fear.

"One of those people was extremely strong. The speed of the four of us, including Qiaozhi and me, was too slow, and we were caught up to. To protect us, the commander had no choice but to stay behind to cover our retreat."

Tangmu's face was full of gratitude and respect for Ruidar.

"Although the commander's strength was on par with the opponent's, after being entangled in the fight, another Bronze-level person from the other side caught up."

"Fighting one against two, the commander relied on the Explosive Flame Slash to force the two back, fighting while retreating. They fought like that for a full three miles before the other side stopped the pursuit and withdrew."

Luoning's expression was grave, "Was Ruidar seriously injured during the struggle?"

"Yes, besides the chest wound from the very beginning, he was also stabbed through the left arm in the subsequent battle."

Tangmu looked dejected, "With the Healing Spell Scroll you issued, my lord, we originally thought it could be healed quickly, but bizarre things happened one after another. The wound on the commander's arm actually could not be healed; not only did it keep bleeding, but it also showed signs of rotting!"

One must know that the skin and flesh of a Silver Knight had already been strengthened back at the Bronze level; even without a Healing Spell, non-serious external injuries would slowly heal on their own.

Although the time for recovery might vary, it would absolutely not result in rotting.

"How is Ruidar's condition now?"

Luoning vaulted onto his Tayunjv; originally prepared to return to Shanlin Town, he now had to head to Heitu Town to see what was going on.

"The situation is not good!"

Tangmu said bitterly, "It took us ten days to return, and for the last two days, the commander was so weak that we had to carry him on our backs."

That two external wounds could ravage a Silver Grade Knight to this extent was simply too inconceivable.

Moreover, the fact that those guys in the Guiyi Shangu could not be killed even after being stabbed was even more unbelievable.

What on earth were those things?

Were they even human?

How could such things exist in the Wubei Territory?

Would they follow the route and chase them into the towns?

Luoning's mood was heavy, but he had to face it.

"Huoen, you go to Shanlin Town and find Maiken, and have him bring Babulin to Heitu Town."

"Yes, my lord!"

Whether for defense or to investigate that Guiyi Shangu, Luoning needed to assemble his men.

"Tangmu, come with me."

Luoning called out and urged his Tayunjv, rushing toward Heitu Town at top speed. (End of this chapter)
