Chapter 348 Chiduotu's Provocation
"What...what happened?"
Jingyue murmured, and when he saw the hunting dogs fall to the ground in an instant, he thought his old eyes were playing tricks on him.
Wen Luozhi and his group rushed over, each carrying something in their hands. Wherever they passed, not a single hunting dog could stand still.
Gu Yunqi looked at her as if she were a goddess descending from heaven, and even the hunting dogs seemed to know how powerful these people were, so they stopped coming forward.
When dealing with people, Wen Luozhi was still hesitant to use lethal force; at most, she would use her weapon to knock them unconscious.
The shadowy figure and the iron-clad woman were ruthless; they would pick up anyone she knocked unconscious and finish them off to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Wen Zixun was also on the battlefield for the first time, so he naturally didn't dare to take those people's lives directly. At most, he only did what he could to protect himself.
Several hunting dogs suddenly rushed over and bit the horse beneath him. The horse, in pain, threw him off.
The hunting dogs barked and attacked when they saw people coming down. Wen Zixun was wielding the spiked club that Wen Luozhi had given him, but he was still struggling to defend himself.
Two northern barbarian soldiers, seeing him alone, surrounded him with their knives. He forcefully swatted away the two hunting dogs, threw a grenade on the spot, and quickly ran away.
The hunting dogs, curious about the smoke rising from the ground, brought their heads close to sniff it.
The Northern Barbarian soldiers thought that Wen Zixun was scared and threw something out to distract them.
The smiles on their faces lasted only a moment before a loud "boom" rang out, sending the entire group of Northern Barbarian soldiers flying.
"Heh heh! Serves you right!"
Seeing the hunting dogs blown away, Wen Zixun threw another grenade at the spot where the dogs were gathered, and as expected, none of the dogs survived.
Hearing the noise, Chiduotu quickly searched for the source of the sound, exclaiming, "What is that?!"
He shouted a question to the soldier beside him, but before he could get an answer, he witnessed his precious pets being blown into the air.
He stood on horseback and looked over. Several more people had appeared on the battlefield at some point, including a woman from the Central Plains who looked quite heroic.
He scrutinized her closely; at this moment, Wen Luozhi was unaware that she was being targeted.
She was putting a neck brace on Jingyue, and seeing that he was a little weak, she handed him a water bottle filled with glucose.
Jingyue didn't know who she was, only that she had just wielded her spear with great skill and power, no less than a man.
"Luo Zhi, didn't you all leave?"
The surroundings were finally cleared, and Gu Yunqi took the opportunity to catch his breath.
He truly hadn't expected Wen Luozhi to come. Since she was a young woman, his worry outweighed his joy.
"There are too many dogs; I'm afraid Helian Yue will get bitten."
Wen Luozhi spoke succinctly, then stretched her slightly sore wrists. Her words made Gu Yunqi feel a little embarrassed.
I wonder if she's cursing the hunting dogs or the endless stream of northern barbarian soldiers?
"I'm going to find Helian Yue and protect my sixth brother."
She gave a brief instruction, left a few grenades, and rode her horse towards Helian Yue's side.
Gu Yunqi readily agreed, carefully putting the grenade in his pocket and charging towards the group of Northern Barbarian soldiers with Wen Zixun.
Jiang Zhongzheng was being dragged along the ground by a hunting dog, which was biting the half of his empty sleeve. Another hunting dog was chasing the two animals as if they were playing a game.
Wen Luozhi rushed over, hooking her feet on the horse's back so her body was almost touching the ground, and slammed a spiked club into the dragging hunting dog.
The hunting dog was hit on the head, bleeding as it howled and ran away.
When the other hunting dog saw its companion injured, it immediately bared its teeth and attacked. Wen Luozhi hit it twice on the head, and it could no longer bar its teeth.
"lady?!"
Jiang Zhong cried out in surprise and excitement. Wen Luozhi pulled him up from the ground, shoved the spiked club into his hands, and said, "Shoot those beasts in the stomach, on the top of their heads, and in their mouths."
As she fought her way through, she discovered that most of the attacks were directed at the hounds' backs, which didn't cause much damage.
Helian Yue naturally heard Jiang Zhong's voice, and when he turned around, he was almost scared out of his wits by what he saw.
Wen Luozhi, his face covered in blood, charged toward him, pursued relentlessly by several tall Northern Barbarian soldiers.
But then she stopped and threw several round things behind her.
Helian Yue kicked away one of the hunting dogs that was bothering him, and quickly flew over to protect her in his arms. After making sure there was no danger, he raised his hand to cover Wen Luozhi's ears.
After several explosions, hounds and people flew everywhere, making Balu, who was watching the battle, feel a chill.
What is that? Heavenly lightning?
He looked up at the sky, but where was the thunder? The sky was clear and blue.
At this point, he could no longer remain calm and went to find Chiduotu.
Wen Luozhi opened her eyes and looked at the hunting dog carcasses not far away. Their mouths were open and bits of flesh were hanging from their teeth. She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
"Lolo! You shouldn't have come!" Before she could recover, Helian Yue's voice rang out above her head, filled with an unprecedented seriousness and a hint of anger.
Wen Luozhi's heart skipped a beat, then she retorted defiantly, "They were just worried you'd get bitten by a dog!"
"Hmph, that's how Lü Dongbin died!"
She snorted coldly, secretly thinking to herself that it was truly a case of biting the hand that feeds you.
Helian Yue initially thought she was saying she would be killed by hunting dogs, but his voice softened in exasperation.
"I'm sorry, Lolo, stay behind me and don't run off."
"I'll tell you after it's over," he said, taking off his mask and putting it on Wen Luozhi's face.
In this situation, Wen Luozhi knew her place and obediently hid behind Helian Yue.
When Chiduotu charged over, he saw that the Central Plains woman he had just seen had already hidden behind the man in front of him.
Helian Yue caught a glimpse of him looking behind him, his eyes filled with a hint of amusement, and felt utterly disgusted.
Without a word, he flashed forward, the tip of his sword pointing directly at Chiduotu's heart.
Chidotu didn't expect him to attack so suddenly and didn't waste any words. He dealt with the situation while making sarcastic remarks.
"If only all the people of the Central Plains were as taciturn as you, hahaha!"
When he fought Qin Yu before, Qin Yu would always start by talking a lot of nonsense, which made him lose the will to fight.
He likes things to be direct like that!
"Your swordsmanship is far superior to that of your deputy general. May I ask your name?"
Seeing that Helian Yue remained silent, Chiduotu began to chatter on and on.
Wen Luozhi found it annoying to listen to, thinking to herself, "Doesn't this 2:1 ratio know that villains die from talking too much?"
She watched from the sidelines, occasionally raising her hand to help the Great Jing soldiers nearby launch "hidden arrows" at the Northern Barbarians.
Chidotu's arm had already been slashed by a sword, but that didn't stop him from talking a lot.
"Who is that woman to you? Is she your wife? Or your elder sister?"
He gave a sinister smile, suddenly threw a handful of powder at Helian Yue, and then rushed towards Wen Luozhi.
Thinking that many of his treasures had been lost in this woman's hands, Chiduotu wished he could tear Wen Luozhi to pieces.
But recalling the face he had seen from horseback, he felt there was no rush to kill him.
