Chapter 264 - SILVER ARROWS (1/2)
As the place continued to 'bled', hot steam also started to drift from the ground where they stood.
It burned on their skin but they could not care less about it because apparently, there is something more that they should worry about.
From afar they could barely make out the sound of hooves rushing to their direction!
From the way it sounded, it seemed like there are too many of them.
There is no doubt that they will be at the disadvantageous side once those rushing hooves caught up with them.
The sound of galloping hooves started to drew nearer and nearer to them on each passing second.
While the 'bleeding' of the place does not look like it will stop any time soon.
This only added up on the pressure and the bad premonition that was heaping on them.
They knew very well that if they won't make haste to leave the place now, they will be forced to face the owner of those hooves, soon enough.
When that happens, it will surely be a bitter fight for them. Considering the measly sized of their group with only six members.
So without any delay, they immediately dashed as fast as they could away from the old mansion.
But before they could go even further away from the house a barrage of arrows rained on them.
They already expected things as much as this, was bound to happen anytime soon.
So before those arrows could even do them any harm, Long Fuzi already prepared his wand and was ready to cast a protective barrier over the group.
”ASPÍDA!!!!!”
Long Fuzi chanted as he raised his wand and the others did the same as well to further fortify their defense.
White light shoot from the tip of their wands and this white light combined created a barrier of light that act as their shield
The sound of the arrows coming in contact with the protective barrier sounded like the pattering of the rain in the roof of a gazebo.
Also, every time that an arrow hits the barrier, something that looks like a ripple of water appears on their protective barrier and it will be followed by a series of vibration.
This vibration can be felt within their wands and it only makes it harder for them to sustain the barrier.
Nonetheless, they still persevere as to make sure that their protective shield won't be breached by any means.
It continued like that for a few more minutes before the rain of arrows finally subsided.
If not for the protective barrier cast above them, there is no doubt that they won't be able to escape those arrows.
For the number of the arrows that just rained on them can easily be accounted into thousands!!!
Good thing, that they were able to cast an instant shield or else, they would have been pierced by those arrows already and they won't be any better than dead meat by now.
Mu Lingxi and her friends managed to remain safe and unscathed.
But because of this sudden lapse in their attention, they did not notice that the owners of those galloping hooves already managed to catch up with them.
”Halt right there!!!!”
Said the lady that was riding at the forefront of those galloping horses. There was something like a horn that hung around her neck.
Just by her disposition itself, one could easily make out that she was the de facto leader of the group
She and the rest of the beautiful women that ride alongside her all have a sheath of arrows within their belt and each of them was mounting a graceful dapple-grey horse.
