Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Excitement All the Way Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Excitement All the Way Seeing his curved eyebrows and eyes, everyone felt nothing but terror.
Old Uncle Qiu cursed his luck; it was only their first day heading toward Biluo, and they had already encountered a second wave of bandits.
At this rate, they feared they might indeed have to deal with bandits every day.
The group exchanged glances, and although reluctant to part with the Immortal Water in the bamboo tube, seeing that the bandits clearly had higher Combat Power, Old Uncle Qiu and his companions could only compromise and silently set down the bamboo tube.
However, the other party didn’t seem to understand the true meaning of ‘knowing when to stop,’ and only smiled, saying, “Leave your bows and arrows behind too!”
“!” The expressions of Old Uncle Qiu’s family changed instantly.
They weren’t fools; how could they possibly leave their bows and arrows behind? If they did, would they even leave with their lives?
The eldest and Lao Er quickly drew their bows and nocked their arrows, and the atmosphere became tense as both sides prepared for conflict.
“Ha! You don’t drink a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty instead?”
“We have left behind what you asked for, but you are never satisfied. If we really gave you our weapons, what would we have to defend ourselves with afterward?”
Old Uncle Qiu argued with sound logic.
The leader spat and said, “To pass through here, you must listen to me. It’s not just about leaving your weapons; if I tell you to leave your children behind obediently, you must do so, or prepare to die!”
With that, the man brandished his knife and charged over.
Bows and arrows were unsuitable for close combat. As the bandits swarmed over, the Qiu family had no time to shoot and could only pull out their knives to fight for their lives.
By then, Bai Junjun had already signaled to Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu to follow her.
As soon as the fight broke out, she immediately dragged Madam Liu and Xiao Shan back the way they came.
Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu also followed their eldest sister in retreat.
The men of the Qiu family immediately blocked the way forward.
Seeing the ‘little lambs’ split into two groups, the bandits assigned a brother to lead the group of women in pursuit, while the remaining five stayed focused on confronting the four Qiu men.
The four Qiu men were skilled in the jungle; although they lacked experience in conflicts with others, they were not afraid when it came to a physical fight.
The bandits here had clearly become outlaws only recently. Despite their fine weapons and supplies, subduing several skilled hunters quickly wasn’t such an easy task.
As the battle heated up, Bai Junjun had already led her siblings to a clump of grass a hundred meters away, where she crammed them in before running out herself.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to instruct Sasa.
“Get your slingshot ready. If anyone comes close, show them no mercy.”
“Okay,” Bai Sasa nodded solemnly.
Before she could think further, Bai Junjun was already covering the entrance to the grass.
From the outside, one couldn’t tell that three children and a woman were hiding inside the bushes.
The pursuers hadn’t expected that the woman and children had disappeared without a trace in just a short while, leaving only a young girl standing at the edge of the grass.
However, before they could jeer, the young girl suddenly grabbed the vines nearby and, after a strong kick with her legs, she quickly ascended the tree like an arrow released from a bowstring.
With the activation of her Special Ability, Bai Junjun had the vines wrap around her, making it look to onlookers as if she had tied herself up.
In midair, Bai Junjun quickly drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the arrow feathers slicing through the air as they fell.
The leader fell to the ground with a thud, blood gradually spreading from his chest.
The women who had come to capture them were stunned by the sight, their eyes flashing with fear as they looked at the girl hanging in the air.
Someone said, “She has only 4 arrow feathers left. We outnumber her; why fear her? Once she’s out of arrow feathers, she’ll be like a lamb to the slaughter.”
