Chapter 268: Encountering a Monster on the Road, Hill Rock Helmet King
Beside the river road of the stone bridge, Ye Li stopped his horse with a serious look, drew out the black sword behind him, jumped to the ground, looked at the hill people rushing out from the woods, and said:
"What a trouble! I ran into you guys just because I sneezed. Now that I'm here, I'll help you get rid of it."
"ah!"
When the Hilichurls saw that their prey had stopped, they picked up their weapons and rushed towards Ye Li without hesitation. The Hilichurls who were responsible for long-range crossbows also placed arrows on the bowstrings, and the subtle fire elemental power on them began to condense.
Looking at the agile Stick Hillbillies who were not as clumsy as in the game, Ye Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly even though he was aware of the gap between reality and the game. The sword in his hand drew a circular trajectory, blocking the six rapidly attacking wooden sticks and knocking them away with his force.
Oddly enough, this road is safe enough for caravans to pass through as it is patrolled and protected by the Thousand Rocks Army and generally no monsters pass through it. Even if there is something unusual, the Thousand Rocks Army will quickly discover it.
However, these hillbillies who suddenly appeared seemed to have evaded the detection of the Qianyan Army and rushed to the station on the road to block his way, leaving Ye Li no time to think.
While quickly thinking about the reasons for the appearance of these monsters, the black sword in Ye Li's hand flashed a cold light, and with a horizontal slash of the sword, he directly split the wooden shield in the hand of a stick-holding hillbilly, completely cutting off one of its arms. The scarlet and purple blood spilled and quickly turned into black mist and disappeared.
Ye Li frowned, looking at the effect of his attack. He couldn't help but slightly relax his perception to analyze the components of the scattered blood, and he immediately understood.
He kicked the armless Hilichurl away, then Ye Li turned sideways and swung his sword to chop off several flying elemental arrows. His body was as agile as a snake, and he used his hands and feet to knock away the approaching Hilichurl with a wooden stick.
At this moment, the Hillilchur who was shooting elemental arrows in the back realized that this was useless, so he could only babbled a few words, as if reminding his companions who were kicked away around him to adjust their tactics.
Looking at the Hilichurls in front of him who were cooperating well with each other, Ye Li dodged sideways to avoid the hidden arrows shot by several Hilichurls in the dark forest, and his expression became helpless.
"This is quite troublesome. I'm afraid there are more than just these few."
Looking at the dozens of Hilichurls rushing out and more than a dozen Hilichurls with crossbows, Ye Li couldn't help but glance at the horses and carriages behind him that were nervous but unmoved. He knew in his heart that if he delayed any longer, he might be surrounded.
To be on the safe side, Ye Li decided to use the maximum strength he could exert in his mortal form to quickly resolve the battle and avoid affecting the two people in the car behind.
Thinking of this, Ye Li quickened his pace without hesitation, leaped out like a gust of wind, and rushed towards the first group of crossbow hill people at an extremely fast speed.
Two elemental arrows flew over, and the obvious marks of fire and thunder elements made Ye Li's eyes focus. He swung his sword quickly and knocked away the two arrows that were about to collide from a tricky angle, avoiding the overload reaction caused by the collision of thunder and fire.
However, just as Ye Li swung his sword to deflect two attacks, the vibration sound coming from under his feet made Ye Li realize that he had hit the opponent's trap.
A Hillichul thug carrying a large wooden shield rushed out of the forest quickly. When Ye Li blocked the flying arrow with his sword, he rushed towards Ye Li in the moment of stalemate.
"If this kind of combat quality and coordination were put into the game, I'm afraid that novice players would be so abused that they would quit the game."
Ye Li complained in his mind without stopping his steps. He accelerated and brushed past the edge of the wooden shield, then swung his sword without hesitation to kill several crossbowmen in front of him.
A bright sword light flashed by, and Ye Li bent down to avoid the axe attack from the Hillilchur thug behind him. He supported his body on one leg, and swung the other leg upward like a whip, flipping in the air with a high-legged movement, and stepped hard on the Hillilchur thug's chest, making him feel suffocated and his strength reduced.
With the help of the reaction force from the chest of the Hilichurl thug behind him, Ye Li stepped lightly on the treetops of the forest and came to the back of a dozen or so Hilichurls with crossbows at an extremely fast speed. He stabbed quickly with the long sword in his hand and killed the three closest Hilichurls first.
While Ye Li was fighting wits and courage with the hillbillies and attracting firepower, the panicked horse stood still, while Yaoyao in the carriage listened to the noise outside and clenched her spear, the Eye of the Grass Elemental God on her body flashing a faint light.
"Master, Brother Yeli is in danger, Yaoyao wants to go over to help."
Yaoyao said this, but her hand had already opened the curtain and rushed out of the carriage. The gun that she had felt very heavy during training was wielded easily as if it were an arm. Her small body burst out with strength that did not belong to her age.
Looking at Yaoyao who lifted the curtain and rushed out, Grandma Ping smiled helplessly, but when she looked at how Ye Li used thundering means to solve the biggest threat, the long-range crossbow hillbillies, she silently used her own immortal power to cover Ye Li.
At this moment, Ye Li, who had just dealt with the crossbowmen, heard the sound of the curtain being lifted. He couldn't help but look at Yaoyao, who was holding a spear and could walk three meters in one step. The power in his body suddenly exploded, and he rushed towards Yaoyao's position at a faster speed.
Yaoyao threw out several laurels behind her with a serious look, and then the yellow rabbit laurel sprayed out spherical elemental nets to wrap up the hillbillies who discovered Yaoyao.
Yaoyao seized the opportunity and swung her spear hard, stabbing the nearest Hillilman to death with one shot. This scene also eased Ye Li's inner worries a little. He then dealt with the Hillilman blocking the way at a faster speed and came to Yaoyao's side.
"Yaoyao, didn't I tell you and grandma to wait outside? It's not the behavior of a good child to come out like this."
"I'm sorry, Yaoyao saw that there were too many Qiuqiu people outside, and she was worried that her brother would get hurt, so she came out."
Seeing Yaoyao bow her head slightly to admit her mistake, Ye Li said helplessly:
"Forget it, let's not do it again. Yaoyao is now directing the throwing of the net in the back, and brother will kill them step by step. If you understand the command, just say "oh". "
"Oh~!"
Seeing Yaoyao perked up and became serious, Ye Li gave a wry smile. He did not worry too much about how many variables Yaoyao's presence would bring to the battle. After all, Grandma Ping behind him was a backup, so Yaoyao would basically not get hurt.
As for myself, in order to act more realistically, I had a few more wounds on my body, but they had just been healed by the balls sprayed by Laurel, who was good at healing.
After only a few seconds of chatting, Ye Li quickly left Yaoyao's side, swung his sword and killed the hillbilly trapped in the net. In terms of efficiency, he was much faster than before.
A few minutes later, Ye Li dealt with the last Hillichul thug who had held on until now without taking a breath. The long sword in his hand had cut through the axe in the opponent's hand, chopping his huge body into two halves, which turned into a black and red object and disappeared, completely freed.
Yaoyao looked at the spear in her hand that killed eight hillbillies. She still had enough strength to run to Ye Li. The few yellow rabbits behind her also jumped back into the basket that Yaoyao was carrying.
"Brother Ye Li is so powerful. That sword move just now was so beautiful."
"Okay, we'll talk about Yaoyao's praise later. Go back to grandma first. A big guy is coming soon."
"But it would be dangerous for Brother to deal with it alone, and we just worked well together, so it should be okay if we deal with it together."
Seeing Yaoyao's serious look, Ye Li looked helplessly at Grandma Ping who had been observing behind him and said:
"Grandma, is this okay?"
"It's okay, Xiaoli. Yaoyao won't get hurt as long as I'm here."
"Okay then, but grandma has to help me. Without elemental power, it won't be easy for me to chop down that tough big guy quickly."
As Ye Li finished his words, a bang bang bang sound was heard under his feet. The trees and dead branches in the woods beside him were reflected by a golden figure. A masked and covered in golden rock armor, the Rock Helmet King, appeared.
