158 Severe Injury

The archer seemed to only have discovered Su Jiu at this moment. He immediately took a step back and looked at her cautiously. He asked, “Who are you?”

That was not Dapao’s voice.

Su Jiu frowned, feeling disappointed. She then hastily asked, “Why are you in the mountains? Do you know Hu Dapao?”

The black figure kept silent for a moment, before asking Su Jiu nervously, “Who the hell are you? How do you know our general?”

At that moment, Su Jiu’s heart almost jumped out, and she suddenly stepped forward. “You are a Daliang soldier! Where is Dapao at?”

The man retreated immediately. He pointed his bow and arrow at Su Jiu, bellowing coldly, “Back off!”

The soldier directed his bow and arrow at Ah Shu. “A few days ago, there were Naye soldiers who came up the mountains pretending to be Daliang people. We were almost fooled, so I’m sorry, but I don’t trust you!”

Seeing this person so resolute and composed, Su Jiu realized that he was not an ordinary soldier. She grabbed Ah Shu, who wanted to charge forward, and expressed in a deep voice, “We are indeed Dapao’s friends. My name is Su Jiu. Just go and tell Dapao that his brothers from the Dragon Conqueror Gang are here! He will come out to see us!”

The person was startled. “Dragon Conqueror Gang? You are the people of the Dragon Conqueror Gang!”

“Yeah!” Ah Shu shouted angrily.

The soldier had apparently heard Hu Dapao mention about the Dragon Conqueror Gang before. He immediately lowered his bow and arrow and said respectfully, “If you all are friends of the general, I’m sorry if I have offended you. Please forgive me!”

Su Jiu replied, “It’s okay! Where is Dapao? Take us to him now!”

“Okay, everyone! Follow me!” The man waved his hand and dashed towards the depths of the mountain gap.

Su Ji and the rest immediately followed.

As they got closer, they saw that the soldier was tall and thin. He had a composed face and a sturdy build. He nimbly jumped across the thistles and rocks, his body as light as a swallow.

Thank goodness they were not late!

Although Hu Dapao was unkempt and utterly embarrassed, he still stayed alive as he waited for them!

That was enough!

“Chief, Ah Shu, Chang Huan!” Hu Dapao said their names in a deep and hoarse voice.

He knew about the situations on top and below the mountain. A thousand soldiers that had accompanied him were down to three now. His wound was worsening, and he thought that he would be trapped and die in the mountains. However, his friends were here now.

They came from Shengjing City, which was thousands of miles away, to Northern Xinjiang, to the Camelback Ridge, and finally to him!

They would not give up on him even if it would cost them their lives.

The nine-foot-tall man’s tears rolled down his cheeks for the first time. His heart overwhelmed, surging with a myriad of emotions.

When he was besieged by the enemy forces in the thousands, he did not flinch. When he was critically injured, he did not fear. And when he faced death, his heart did not panic. But at this moment, he was overwhelmed with emotions, and the tears that he had been holding in contempt finally fell.

The tears he would only shed for his loved ones.
