The crossbow arrows came from a hidden angle. One of the cultivators who was wandering in front of Yang Ruoxi was hit in the back, and his body suddenly fell forward, his four limbs spasming.
Blood sprayed in front of Yang Ruoxi's feet, her eyes immediately lit up, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Good archery skill! One arrow after another, truly a god! "
The surrounding cultivators were like frightened birds. The moment that cultivator fell to the ground, they scattered and dodged, constantly looking around in every direction. Qin Tianyu's body trembled as he hurriedly hid in the forest.
Hearing Yang Ruoxi's clamor, Qin Tianyu's face sank. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up!"
Of course Yang Ruoxi wouldn't shut her mouth. She proudly said, "I'll let you guys catch me, now you regret it, right? I have helpers, the kind you can't afford to offend! "
"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you first!" Qin Tianyu let out a roar from his throat.
Yang Ruoxi raised her delicate chin, completely unconcerned, "If you have the guts, then come over, do you dare to show your face?"
Of course, Qin Tianyu did not dare. After this sudden arrow, there was no sound of a pin dropping. Just this arrow alone, no one could determine Cheng Qing's position — perhaps he had already changed his position after shooting the arrow.
The eerie silence continued, and no more arrows flew out of the forest. Qin Tianyu and the others did not move. They did not know when the next arrow would fly over, where it would fly from, or who it would land on.
Qin Tianyu's forehead was gradually covered in sweat. With the appearance of the crossbow, it also meant that the four people he sent out were already dead. Now, out of his twelve subordinates, only four were still alive. He had already lost more than half of his manpower, and did not even know who the other party was.
An older, slightly plump cultivator cautiously approached Qin Tianyu and whispered, "Young master, we suffered heavy losses. That person is obviously not easy to deal with, we should still … "Let's leave!"
Qin Tianyu turned around and angrily glared at the other, growling like a wild beast, "You want me to let that stinking Yang Ruoxi go when eight of my men are dead? Retreat with my tail between my legs?"
The elderly cultivator whispered, "If the stalemate persists, we have no chance of winning. If the other party doesn't show up, then we won't dare to move. We can't even try to search. Otherwise, he might end up like Yang Lin and the others. The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light … Young master, the greater picture is the most important. We are here on a mission! "
As he spoke, the elder cultivator whispered into Qin Tianyu's ear for a moment.
Qin Tianyu's face was ashen. In the end, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Let's go." He took the lead and dashed into the forest.
Seeing that Qin Tianyu and the others had retreated, Yang Ruoxi let out a resounding laugh, showing her pride.
After Qin Tianyu and the others left, the surroundings quieted down. Only Yang Ruoxi was still tied to the tree trunk.
No one came to save Yang Ruoxi. Two hours, four hours, and six hours had passed without anyone appearing.
Yang Ruoxi didn't cry out, she lowered her head as if she was asleep.
In the woods, Qin Tianyu gritted his teeth.
They pretended to retreat, but when they actually went into the woods, they turned back and hid nearby. This way, they naturally wanted to wait for someone to untie Yang Ruoxi and rescue her. Then, they would suddenly jump out and launch an attack to capture the opponent. But now, no one came.
Furthermore, Yang Ruoxi didn't shout out. It was obvious that not only was the person secretly preparing for this, even Yang Ruoxi was cleverly guarding against it.
