"It’s up to you now. All I can do is to put them in a situation where they feel ashad and force them to win. If they still lose under these circumstances, I suppose they will understand more, and we will also learn more," Brack said with a bitter smile.
To be honest, if it wasn’t necessary, he really didn’t want to do this. Winning would be best, but if they lose even under these conditions, they would truly need to learn from their sha and beco braver!
Putting aside the war between Yizhou and Kushan, the Han and Huns conflict began to follow the path set by the Han Dynasty the mont Zhou Yu and Chen Xi withdrew.
"Run, run, run, or sothing will go wrong soon." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, showing no concern about being caught and killed by the Hun people, with a playful expression. Even Zhou Yu had to admit admiration for this kind of ntality.
"I feel like following you is going to get in trouble sooner or later. Should I just leave you here?" Zhou Yu said gloomily as he rode his horse, feeling helpless about Chen Xi’s attitude.
"Haha, if you leave here, you might be the one getting caught and killed," Chen Xi laughed.
He wasn’t worried about Zhou Yu actually doing it. These two unlucky guys were now in the sa boat. Running together ant that even if they were caught, they’d have so strength to resist. If they separated, whoever got caught would be in big trouble.
Zhou Yu pouted. He wasn’t stupid. Last ti, he kicked the Northern Huns at their ho but didn’t finish them. Surely this ti, the Northern Huns would use super moves like Heavenly Demon Disintegration. If they received such a move, the Hun tribe would definitely squeeze out so people for revenge.
After all, compared to centuries-old blood feuds, this more explicit, deeply felt hatred makes people more frantic. So both Chen Xi and Zhou Yu knew that more Northern Huns were pursuing them than they had seen before. Naturally, the defense of the Northern Huns’ rear was even worse.
But the defense of the Northern Huns’ rear was no longer their concern. They just needed to run fast, avoiding being chased and hacked. Just thinking about tens of thousands of furious, organized elite cavalry from the Northern Huns behind them was thrilling for Zhou Yu and Chen Xi.
But if they got caught, it would be more than thrilling—it would be dangerous. So Zhou Yu and Chen Xi just bantered while their feet never stopped moving.
"Hey, I rember you couldn’t ride a horse, always taking a carriage. Now I see you’re riding pretty well," Zhou Yu teased, as Chen Xi closed a half-length gap on horseback. "I didn’t expect you to ride so well."
"Huh?" Chen Xi scoffed without turning his head, "Northerners ride horses, Southerners sail. If you can ride, wouldn’t it be a disgrace for , a Northener, not to?"
"A Northerner?" Zhou Yu suddenly looked serious, frowning at the back of Chen Xi’s head. "The Northern Huns are better at mounted archery, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Xi also frowned and slowed down his horse, leveling with Zhou Yu. Turning his head, he said, "Now that you ntion it, that does make sense."
"When do you think the Northern Huns will catch up with us?" Zhou Yu suddenly asked, "If my prediction is right, the Northern Huns may try to intercept us; they know this area better than we do."
"Hmm, I estimate that before the Northern Huns arrive, our reinforcents will be here," Chen Xi said confidently, "So there’s no need to worry too much. However, it’s true they know the terrain here better than we do, but they can’t determine our exact route."
"Caw~" Just then, an eagle’s cry ca from the sky. Zhou Yu and Chen Xi exchanged glances and looked up. Under a cloudless sky, a golden eagle circled above their heads.
"Shoot it!" Zhou Yu and Chen Xi almost simultaneously ordered Hua Xiong and Wen Pin. The Northern Huns using eagles for reconnaissance was no surprise, but against the archery of Inner Qi Separation, few of these hard-trained eagles could dodge the near-death arrows.
Hua Xiong and Wen Pin imdiately drew their bows and shot arrows infused with Inner Qi, like streaks of light, at the black spot high in the sky. To Chen Xi and Zhou Yu’s astonishnt, the golden eagle first dived swiftly to dodge Hua Xiong’s arrow, then flicked its wings to deflect Li Yan’s arrow with a golden light blade, and then flew northward at unimaginable speed.
"..." Zhou Yu and Chen Xi exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishnt in each other’s eyes—a golden eagle of Inner Qi Manifestation!
"What do we do now?" Chen Xi awkwardly asked Zhou Yu. This had completely exceeded his expectations.
For years, Chen Xi had never seen a wild beast or bird of prey achieving Inner Qi Manifestation being tad, and it was clear that this would be a hopeless task with such a predator as the Great Roc. But that wasn’t the point; the point was, how on earth was it tad?
"What else can we do? In this situation, everything we’ve done to cover our tracks has beco pointless, and our route has lost its relevance," Zhou Yu said seriously. A clairvoyant reconnaissance eagle held too obvious an advantage in scouting.
Eagles and hawks are intelligent, and being trained for reconnaissance already indicates a lot. Animals achieving Inner Qi Manifestation naturally possess spirituality, bringing their intelligence to about the level of a ten-year-old child—advantages that cannot be ignored.
