Chapter 93: Horned Horse Mounts

"Kill!" Liu Dong, however, turned a deaf ear, raised his battle axe high, and charged forward with all his might, regardless of everything.

His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to burst from their sockets; his Spirit was highly focused, and everything around him seemed to have come to a standstill. In this moment, between heaven and earth, there seemed to be only him and the enemy before him.

He had no way back!

"Add points!" A thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and a powerful surge of heat gushed out once again, instantly restoring the stamina he had just exhausted from the Continuous Shot.

He took a Heavy Arrow from his quiver, his gaze icy as he watched the rapidly approaching Liu Dong.

"Everything should end now."

This time, Lu Yu felt a trace of resistance on the bowstring, but in an instant, he pulled the bow into a full moon.

At almost the same moment, Liu Dong felt the hair all over his body stand on end, as if he had been locked onto by something extremely terrifying.

"His target is me?" As soon as this thought flashed through Liu Dong's mind, an unprecedented fear, like a surging tide, instantly engulfed him.

He had a feeling that disaster was imminent and he was doomed.

When he launched his charge earlier, that person had been aiming at others, which made him both angry and somewhat lucky.

Because many people skilled in archery in the past had made him their primary target, yet the arrows they shot were all successfully blocked by him.

And this person? He seemed to know he had this ability and kept picking others to attack.

Yet at this moment, he had aimed his arrowhead at him. Could it be that he already had the certainty of a Sure-Kill?

"No! Impossible!" Liu Dong let out a desperate roar in his heart, I must not die here! I must not!

"Pop!" The moment the explosive sound rang out, the arrow flew before his eyes like a ghost, the powerful wind of the arrow making his face ache.

"Block it for me!" Liu Dong roared, the muscles on his arms instantly bulging, veins protruding like hideous Poison snakes.

Relying on his intuition, he swung his Long Axe down fiercely at a spot in front of him!

"Clang!" A crisp collision sound rang out.

Blocked! Liu Dong felt a surge of joy, but immediately felt something was wrong, because his entire right arm instantly lost sensation, and the Long Axe flew out of his hand, the axe head shattering into iron pieces of various sizes, splashing in all directions.

"This arrow, there's something strange about it!"

Just as this thought emerged in his mind, the next moment, the sound of wind whistled in his ears, and a sharp pain came from his chest.

He looked down with difficulty and discovered that he was actually flying, a blood hole the size of a bowl appearing in his chest; he could even see the scene behind him through the hole. As for that arrow, it was long gone.

"Perhaps... I shouldn't have charged..." He slowly lowered his head and completely lost consciousness.

"!" The two remaining horse bandits watched this scene with their own eyes, their mouths wide open, yet they couldn't even say a single word.

Boss, even the boss is dead?

Over thirty people! In the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left?

However, their shock did not last long; soon, they were struck by two arrows that followed in quick succession and died on the spot.

"Hoo..." Lu Yu let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, his whole body was already soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of water.

From the start of the battle to the end, it hadn't even been a minute, but the slightest mistake could have led to total ruin. Fortunately, everything was within his expectations and control.

First, use the kite-flying tactic to gradually eliminate the opponent's main force, seizing the opportunity to break through and restore stamina during the process.

Once the opponent's numbers were reduced to under ten, use Rapid Shot to strive to kill a certain number of enemies in the shortest time possible.

At this point, stamina was exhausted again; it was impossible to recover on his own, and the opponent wouldn't give him that chance.

Thus, he decisively used his last enhancement opportunity, using the Heavy Arrow he had prepared long ago to first knock away the weapon in the bald man's hand, then kill him with one arrow.

The remaining horse bandits were already scared out of their wits and were not to be feared at all.

"Right, Qin Hai should have been watching this side the whole time, right?" Lu Yu turned around and made an OK gesture toward the northeast.

In the distance, Qin Hai was still immersed in shock. It wasn't until he saw Lu Yu's gesture that he woke up as if from a dream.

One person taking on thirty-two well-equipped horse bandits alone, and in the end, actually annihilating them all—this strength was simply terrifying to the point of being jaw-dropping.

Qin Hai took a deep breath, recalling how he had previously boasted about going with Lu Yu, and couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate.

It was a good thing he didn't follow; otherwise, not only would he have been unable to help, he might have dragged Lu Yu down, and both of them would have died at the hands of those horse bandits.

"I feel like his strength has grown quite a bit more since we last met." Qin Hai's face was full of complexity, and he couldn't help but ponder: could he really catch up to this guy's footsteps?

"Forget it, now is not the time to think about these things." He shook his head, casting these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, "I must hurry back and call everyone to regroup."

After all, Zhou Family Fort was not a place to stay for long; the longer he lingered here, the easier it would be to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

He put away the Telescope and ran back quickly.

Two kilometers away, Lu Yu estimated that the time was about right, so he turned and looked at the pile of corpses in the distance.

"I suppose I've also rid the common people of a scourge," he thought to himself. If he had let this group of horse bandits continue their evil deeds, who knew how many innocent people would have met a tragic end.

"Eh?"

Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw that on the open wilderness, more than twenty Horned Horse Beasts were standing there in groups of three or five, some already leisurely lowering their heads to graze on wild grass, as if nothing had just happened.

"Hmm?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment; he had originally thought these Horned Horse Beasts would scatter and flee once they lost their masters.

"Perhaps, I can bring these guys back to the Zhai?" This thought flashed through his mind.

With this group of mounts, it would be much more convenient to go hunting outside the Zhai or come to Zhou Family Fort to exchange for supplies in the future.

However, there were so many Horned Horse Beasts, and he didn't know how to ride a horse, so he really didn't know how to bring them back.

"Right, perhaps I can lead them all back?" A smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. If one person led one, they could only take fifteen at most, but if one person led two, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that letting Qin Hai and the others join the Zhai was a wise move; there was truly strength in numbers.

"Right, while there's no one around, I must hurry and loot the things on these horse bandits; I estimate Dad and the others will be here soon too."

With his mind made up, Lu Yu walked toward the corpse of the bald man, thinking that this guy should have the most items on him.

That corpse's eyes were wide open, and a look of pain still remained on its face.
