Chapter 12

"Ah!"

The thief behind was pierced through the left shoulder by the blood-stained spear and was dragged down from the dragon mammoth!

A single move, two targets hit!

Bu Ye was quickly untying the rope around his neck, and even he couldn't help but pause at this scene. That spear, thrown after Liang Xiong activated his Heart Cloud Blood Star, had such incredible power!

However, the results of the remaining seven spears were much worse. Two of them were directly deflected by the thief leader's iron wolf-tooth club, and the remaining five only hit two people.

At this moment, the eight people in the back row rushed forward, raising their shields to protect the front row. Hong Zhongwei roared, stood up first, activated his Heart Cloud Blood Star, and all eleven stars lit up, his entire aura surging as he was about to throw the spear in his hand!

At the same time, the thief leader let out a sinister laugh and turned his dragon mammoth, charging straight toward Hong Zhongwei.

Hong Zhongwei's spear had not yet left his hand when he saw a dark cloud pressing down on him, which was the thief leader's iron wolf-tooth club!

This wolf-tooth club was made of pure iron, weighing at least 400 pounds, and with the thief leader activating his Heart Cloud Blood Star and swinging it at full speed, the force was already at a terrifying level!

"Get out of the way!!"

Hong Zhongwei didn't expect the thief leader to come so quickly. He only had time to shout and then directly threw the spear in his hand at the thief leader from close range. However, although he was at the Heart Cloud Eleven Star level, the thief leader was even stronger, at the Heart Cloud Twelve Star level, and had the help of the dragon mammoth!

Bu Ye had just figured out the pattern of the rope knots behind him. When he raised his head again, he saw that the thief leader had already broken through the village defense team's two layers of formation and, instead of continuing to charge forward, turned the mammoth and entangled Liang Xiong. Behind the formation, a village defense team guard lay motionless, his face and chest smashed flat, clearly hit by the thief leader's club.

The remaining Mang Mountain thieves had all rushed to close range, charging the formation head-on! Although the village defense team had large shields, they couldn't withstand the charge of the dragon mammoths!

In a blink, the second, the third...

More and more Mang Mountain thieves broke through the village defense team's line of defense, turned their mammoths, and engaged in battle with the village defense team and the young men in the village.

The small battlefield couldn't accommodate so many people. When the Mang Mountain thieves charged again, they no longer stopped but directly broke through the entire battlefield and charged to the back!

Bu Ye's position was still about twenty meters from the battlefield, and he had been left alone, tied up, with no one paying attention to him. But now that the Mang Mountain thieves had broken through the battlefield and charged to the back, he was completely exposed to their view!

The foremost dragon mammoth, carrying a thief in simple leather armor, charged directly at Bu Ye, moving incredibly fast!

Activating the Heart Cloud Blood Star consumes energy, and untying the rope is a task that requires skill and patience, not brute force. So Bu Ye had already deactivated his Heart Cloud Blood Star and was using the fastest speed to untie the rope!

Eighteen meters, ten meters!

The thief was coming at an incredible speed, already raising a one-meter-long curved saber in his left hand, a sinister smile on his face, ready to strike!

They say one should remain calm in danger, but such people are few. Bu Ye was experiencing this kind of situation for the first time. Even if he didn't take life and death too seriously, he was still anxious. Five meters!

The thief on the dragon mammoth was only five meters away from Bu Ye, but at the same time, Bu Ye finally grasped the key to untying the knot and quickly pulled it apart!

It opened! But there was still one knot left!

Three meters!

The thief was already using the momentum to swing his arm, the curved saber directly aiming for Bu Ye's neck! He didn't care why Bu Ye was tied up here; the Mang Mountain thieves didn't ask questions before killing good people! They didn't care about their own lives, so they cared even less about others'.

Bu Ye's fingers moved swiftly, and the second knot of the rope was finally untied!

Seeing the blade coming at him at an incredible speed, if he didn't dodge, he would be decapitated. Bu Ye didn't care that the ropes were still wrapped around his neck and the wooden stake behind him. He directly activated his Heart Cloud Blood Star, and the Heart Cloud and seven large stars in his body all lit up, and he struggled forward and downward!

The knots were already untied, and the ropes were loosely wrapped around Bu Ye's neck. When he struggled with all his might, the two ends of the rope flew to the sides like they had come to life.

"Whoosh!!"

The curved saber almost grazed Bu Ye's scalp, then struck the wooden stake, cutting it cleanly in half!

The thief clearly saw the light of the Heart Cloud Blood Star on Bu Ye's body and was startled. He didn't stop but charged straight into the village, shouting, "Ruuuohohohoh..."

Except for those in the fierce battle, the remaining Mang Mountain thieves all looked over with surprise.

However, Bu Ye didn't see this because his feet were still tied to the wooden stake! He couldn't crouch down, so he had to bend over, almost touching his knees, and use his hands to quickly untie the ropes on his feet! If he didn't untie them, he would be completely immobile and a live target!

The Mang Mountain thieves who had charged through the formation clearly noticed this and all whistled and charged toward Bu Ye as fast as they could, planning to cut him down with their swords before he could untie the ropes!

At this moment, Bu Ye finally calmed down, and his hands moved incredibly fast.

However, the speed of the Mang Mountain thieves on their dragon mammoths was even faster. The foremost one was already five meters away from Bu Ye, and Bu Ye was still bent over, trying to untie the ropes! It wasn't that he didn't want to break free, but with the way he was tied, it was much harder to use his feet to break free than his hands.

Most of the Mang Mountain thieves used curved sabers, and the one charging at Bu Ye was no exception. In the afternoon sun, the blade of the curved saber glinted, drawing a beautiful arc as it aimed for Bu Ye's back, who was bent over, trying to untie the ropes!

However, at this moment, a bowstring sound suddenly rang out from the roof on the right, and an arrow shot down like lightning!

The Mang Mountain thief only saw something flash in his peripheral vision, then felt a tremendous force on his neck, and his entire body was thrown to the right.

"Whoosh!"

"Ziiii!"

The arrow pierced through his neck and was heavily embedded in the ground. The arrow's feathers still trembled, and the blood droplets from the thief's neck immediately splattered on the ground next to the arrow.

A moment ago, Bu Ye had actually felt the warning from the cancer cells in his body, but he was only a little away from untying the ropes on his feet, so he decided to take a chance and planned to dive to the ground as soon as he was free.

Now the ropes were finally untied, and the warning from the cancer cells had also faded.

He quickly straightened up and raised his head, seeing a riderless dragon mammoth rushing past his left side, and not far away, a body lay on the ground.

As he quickly pulled his feet out of the ropes, he turned his head to look at the roof on the right and saw the old cripple from the village defense team climbing down the ladder at the back of the house. The cripple's right leg was broken, making it awkward to climb down, but he wasn't slow.

It was clear that the old cripple had saved him.

"At this moment, is there still someone who cares about me?" Bu Ye asked himself sarcastically.

His original intention was to leave Dongmang Village as soon as he was free, even after encountering the Mang Mountain thieves today. He had no sense of belonging to this world and didn't want to have any ties with Dongmang Village.

However, if it weren't for the old cripple's arrow just now, would he already be dead? Of course, he might not have died, or even been injured.

But he had received the old cripple's favor, which was much heavier than the few dinners from Luo Xiu.

Bu Ye frowned, seeing a Mang Mountain thief charging toward the old cripple behind the house, and finally rushed over!

Even if he was going to leave, he had to repay the old cripple's favor first.

With no more restraints on his body, all seven Heart Cloud stars were fully activated, and Bu Ye's speed was like the wind, even faster than the dragon mammoth!

This was the first time Bu Ye had run at such a speed. He felt full of strength, his body so light that he could almost fly, a feeling of comfort and power that was indescribable.

For a moment, he completely forgot about the intense battle in the village and was immersed in his own world.

However, that was only for a moment, because the Mang Mountain thief charging behind the house saw him coming and finally gave up on chasing the old cripple, swinging his saber at Bu Ye!

The agitation of the cancer cells instantly made Bu Ye clear-headed. He roared and suddenly exerted all his strength in his legs, charging forward with his left shoulder like a cannonball directly at the thief's dragon mammoth!

Iron Mountain Crash!

In this world, Bu Ye had learned martial arts from Hong Zhongwei in the village defense team and mastered several simple but practical techniques. This Iron Mountain Crash, though it looked like a simple collision, actually required precise angles and force, making it extremely powerful.

"Bang!!"

A dull sound, accompanied by the mournful cry of the dragon mammoth and the thief's scream of pain, Bu Ye's collision not only broke several ribs of the dragon mammoth but also broke the thief's right leg! The thief's saber, under Bu Ye's super-fast speed, didn't even have time to come down.

Bu Ye himself didn't stand steady and directly crashed into the eastern wall of the house the old cripple had just climbed down from, along with the thief and the dragon mammoth.

"Boom!!"

The wall was not sturdy, and under the force of the impact, it caved in, the thief on the dragon mammoth was knocked unconscious, and the dragon mammoth was almost embedded in the wall.
