The enemy was coming from behind!
At the moment of the intense pain in her face, Bailin's mind instinctively came up with many countermeasures against the enemy in a flash. She held back the meaningless scream, quickly raised the one-handed sword in her hand, blocked it in front of her, and at the same time, let go of her other hand and fell freely.
With her physical constitution and the skill of unloading force, the height of the third floor wouldn't cause her any injury.
After landing, Bailin immediately looked in the direction from which the arrow had been shot. There were tall buildings standing side by side across a street, but they weren't as tall as the building she had just climbed. Because of this, she instinctively thought that the enemy would lie in ambush in this tallest building instead of choosing a slightly shorter building beside it.
Although it was just a quick glance out of the corner of her eye, she still noticed that the arrow had flown diagonally down from the top of the building.
The enemy was on the top of the building!
When she looked up, she happened to see a small figure standing up in a sunken part of the collapsed wall on the top of the building. Holding a bow and arrow, the figure quickly nocked an arrow and aimed at her to shoot again!
"How... could it be him!"
When Bailin saw the face of this figure, she was suddenly a bit dazed, and the shock in her heart even made her forget the pain on her face.
She would never have imagined that the person she was planning to kill with a "little trick" would appear outside the Wall, and right in front of her. Moreover, he had tracked her, laid an ambush for her, and even almost killed her!
Whoosh!
The arrow came through the air, and the sound woke her up. She quickly waved her sword to block it.
At this moment, her intermediate Hunter's physical constitution and superb swordsmanship were immediately demonstrated. Although her reaction was half a beat slower, she still cut the arrow in half with a single sword strike just as the arrow flew close, and the arrow fell to the ground in pieces.
At this time, Dudian continued to nock a third arrow and shot it the moment he nocked it, as if he was so confident that he didn't even bother to aim properly.
However, Bailin didn't notice this. Seeing the third arrow shooting towards her so quickly, her face changed slightly. She knew that standing there and letting Dudian shoot at her wasn't a solution after all. She quickly turned around and hid in the building behind her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into the building, her foot suddenly stepped into empty air.
At the moment of stepping into the void, she reacted as if aided by a god and quickly lifted her foot backward. However, at the moment when her foot was lifted and she was about to retract it, a rope suddenly shot out from the collapsed area and wrapped around her foot. This rope was a slipknot. With a little force, it tightened directly.
At the same time, the other end of the rope suddenly tensed up under the force of the ejection.
Bailin's foot that had stepped into the void was already weightless. Pulled up suddenly by the great force, she couldn't exert any strength. Her leg was pulled straight like a split, and her body was turned around as well.
In less than a tenth of a second of panic, she quickly swung her sword to cut the rope on her foot.
However, at the same time that the rope was cut, the upper floor where the rope was attached also collapsed and pressed towards her.
She quickly rolled to the side to avoid it. Hearing the loud bang as the stones hit the place where she had been standing before and seeing the dust rise, her face turned pale. She was both frightened and angry. As a dignified intermediate Hunter, she had been almost killed by a newbie. If she hadn't reacted in time and cut the rope, a little later, these stones would definitely have seriously injured her.
You know, there was still an arrow piercing through her face. If the stones had hit the arrow, it would have made the wound even worse!
Dudian frowned slightly when he saw that the trap hadn't worked. There was a trace of shock and helplessness in his heart. An intermediate Hunter's physical constitution and combat experience were indeed far beyond those of an ordinary person.
Bailin covered the part of her face where the arrow was, her chest heaving slightly. Standing in front of the building, she stared fixedly at Dudian on the opposite tall building. She didn't dare to go into the building behind her to take cover anymore. Who knew what other traps were inside? She was seriously injured at the moment, and the previous unexpected attacks had left her with a bit of a psychological shadow. She would rather stand here and block with her sword for now.
She believed that Geli and the dark-skinned girl should have already noticed the situation here. The other party was just one person. As long as she held her ground in the front, with Geli and the dark-skinned girl, they could easily capture Dudian!
However, she saw Dudian put away his bow, turn around... and run away.
Run?
You want to run away after injuring me?
The trap didn't work and you've used up your tricks, and now you want to run away?!
She was so angry that her body trembled slightly. The movement of the muscles on her face pulled at the wound of the arrow, and the intense pain made the killing intent in her mind go wild. But she held back the urge to chase after him. Firstly, there was a trace of concern in her heart, worried that there were some traps in that tall building. Secondly, the injured part on her body was too serious at the moment. If she didn't pull out the arrow, she had to hold it with one hand. Otherwise, when she ran, the arrow would keep shaking, and the pain would be worse than death.
Moreover, she felt that the arrow was smeared with poisoned blood. She could tell at once from the familiar foul smell that it was smeared with the blood of a zombie.
She gritted her teeth tightly and pulled the arrow out little by little with her backhand. The barbs at the back of the arrow hooked the tender flesh inside her mouth when she pulled it out, and the pain almost made her cry. Although this wasn't the most life-threatening injury she had ever received in her hunting career, it was definitely the most painful one!
Finally, with a determined effort, she pulled out the arrow. She quickly took out the first aid supplies from her waist bag and bandaged herself to avoid any hidden dangers and other infections.
At this time, Geli and the dark-skinned girl rushed over. Seeing the serious injury on Bailin's face, they were both greatly surprised.
"Quick, chase after him! We mustn't let him get away!" Bailin said vaguely with the other side of her mouth.
Geli and the dark-skinned girl exchanged a glance and quickly chased towards the building where Dudian was.
"He smeared the blood of a Bone-Eating Rat. Damn it!" Geli sniffed the air and smelled that Dudian had climbed down the wall from the other side of the tall building. Immediately, he no longer entered the building. He called out to the dark-skinned girl and bypassed the building to chase after him.
Before, the smell of the Bone-Eating Rat had lingered on this tall building. He had smelled it but didn't pay attention. Bone-Eating Rats were very common small monsters and could be seen everywhere. But he never expected that this was the real hiding place of the other party!
And what he had been tracking was just a replaced fake target! It was even possible that the other party's original intention from the beginning was to deliberately let him feel that he was being tracked!
Thinking of this, Geli felt a chill in his heart.
When the two of them rounded the corner, Geli's face suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Hurry up and chase! He's about to get away!"
The dark-skinned girl was slightly taken aback and didn't understand what he meant, but she still quickened her pace and at the same time scanned the surroundings warily, in case there were any traps in ambush.
"Damn it!"
After chasing for half a street, Geli couldn't help but curse. He quickly said to the confused dark-skinned girl, "He imprisoned three Bone-Eating Rats in advance. Just now, when he ran to the meeting point, he mixed his scent with theirs. Now these Bone-Eating Rats have scattered and run away. We have to chase after them separately!"
The dark-skinned girl was stunned.
