Chapter 244: Hunting, ambush, and fleeing in all directions
To the west of the Hongyan Mountains, natural caves and cracks are scattered all over the place, making it a difficult place for people from Hongyan City to enter.
Even if the most elite soul guards in the city enter, they may be overwhelmed by the poisonous gas, ground fire, etc., and no bones will be left.
However, such a harsh environment is an excellent hiding place for the half-humans who live in it. They can hang out in various caves and multiply without having to go to flat areas to compete with tall humanoids such as Soul Hunters.
living space.
Even now, when the world is in decline and the sun is dim, the impact is not great for half-people who are accustomed to darkness and whose skin is as pale as a corpse soaked in water.
The only thing that has an impact on them is that the entire group has started scavenging, and they have to go outside the territory to capture the soulless people who fled and died until they were turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
Under Yu Lie's distant tracking, Fang Men and his party chose the nearest hunting location in the Half Man's territory.
The rather difficult environment for the undead in Red Rock City was easily overcome by the Taoist disciples' various methods.
What made Fangmen and his party feel a little uncomfortable was that after entering the demihuman territory, a thick mist filled the surroundings. The toxins in it were nothing to the three Taoist disciples, it was just a swamp.
Just miasma, yin, etc.
But when the fog appears, no matter how good their eyesight is, what they can see is limited to about ten steps around them.
However, this situation is a good thing for the rest of the group who are following the three people from a distance.
Relying on the cover of the thick fog, the rest of the group ventured a lot closer. From at least one mile away from the opponent, they directly approached to about thirty steps.
At such a distance, under the obstruction of the thick fog, the two sides could basically not see half of each other's fingers, but their voices could be faintly heard.
A burst of Katcha's voice immediately appeared in Yu Lie's ears, followed by a frightened roar.
boom!
After a few more roars of magical light splashing out, the screams suddenly stopped, leaving only the sound of cutting grass, which continued loudly.
At this time, Yu Lie clearly heard the sound of the square door coming from the front.
The other party said in a disgusted tone:
"A group of natives also want to surround me and kill me? But it's okay, they are gathered together, so I don't have to wait to dig out cave after cave."
Two more voices echoed, and the three people from Fangmen harvested the half-human heads and put them whole into their pockets while chatting.
Yu Lie listened carefully for a few times, and the only thing that seemed useful was the promise Fang Men made to the two people beside him:
"When Fang breaks through and becomes a lower-level Taoist disciple, then you and I can live comfortably in this realm. Why bother hunting around like hunting dogs anymore? Or you can just gather people and rush into the red rock city..."
Such words made Yu Lie, who was peeping in secret, feel relieved.
He secretly thought in his heart: "Sure enough, during the period of my retreat and suppression, this Fangmen was still trapped in the realm of the last Taoist disciple. And according to his words, the other two Taoist disciples should also be the last Taoist disciple.
only."
Three low-ranking Taoist disciples gathered together are already a powerful group. If they cooperate with each other tacitly, with offense, defense, and protection, even high-ranking Taoist disciples can look away from each other and have a chance of facing each other head-on.
Escape.
Fortunately, the three people on the opposite side only met during the assessment. Even if they have cooperated for some time and have their own plans, there is no way they can have a tacit understanding.
With Yu Lie's current strength being one head higher than the three opponents, his advantage is not small. If he defeats them one by one, perhaps all three of them can be harvested.
But to win steadily, Yu Lie muttered, he just looked around, a talisman paper in his hand burned again, covering his body, and then like a gecko, he climbed up the cliff on one side, slowly
Moving forward, getting closer.
Several vague figures appeared in his sight, and when they were only a dozen steps away from the opponent's group, Yu Lie had to stop again.
Although there is a barrier of miasma and there is a lot of movement around him, if he continues forward, even if he has a breath-containing charm attached to his body, there is no guarantee that he will not be discovered by the other three.
This made Yu Lie miss the sleepy bug given to him by the Master of Blackwater Temple for a moment.
It's a pity that this time is an assessment, and he cannot bring living creatures like sleepy bugs into this world.
The rest of the group landed on the cliff and stared at Fangmen and his group quietly.
For the next time, Yu Lie remained in this state, following Fangmen and the others from a distance or near, just watching the hunting actions of the other three.
For three consecutive days, he carefully kept his distance and did not act rashly.
Twice during this period, Fangmen and his party were besieged by half-men. The opportunity looked good, and Yu Lie felt the urge to take action.
But when he saw that the three people from Fangmen didn't panic about this, and just continued to kill half of them in an orderly manner, he suppressed the idea of adding fuel to the flames.
Finally, on the fourth day, the situation changed.
The three opponents were once again besieged by a group of half-men, the number reaching fifty or sixty. Among them was a half-man who was taller than ordinary people, and seemed to be the leader of the half-human tribe.
As they roared, the indifferent expressions on the faces of the three people from Fangmen changed and became quite nervous.
The three of them were forced to get closer together, and each of them superimposed at least two layers of protective spiritual light on themselves. They did not dare to look down on the enemy anymore, and they also spent their spiritual energy to use the spells and other means they had mastered.
One of the flying knives flew out from Fang Men's sleeve, in an arc shape, buzzing around the three people, emitting a cold light, chopping down half of the people who were coming towards them like chopping melons and vegetables.
Another long stick was held in the hand of the thin Taoist disciple. He could splash water without hitting it, and could split mountains and rocks with one blow. There was also a long bow in the hand of another person. The other person was holding it and shot half a person from a distance.
The leader of the group is half human.
Such a scene made Yu Lie, who was eager to try, frown slightly and could only watch carefully again.
Especially the arc-shaped flying knife made him pay special attention for a few times. He was not sure what grade the object in the square door was. It could actually fly in the air!
Yu Lie pondered: "Could it be a seventh-grade magic weapon? But even if it is a seventh-grade magic weapon, this Fangmen is just a Taoist disciple. He has true energy in his body but no spiritual consciousness. How can he be able to control the weapon from such a distance..."
Although Yu Lie's floating sword can float in the air, the distance cannot exceed the distance where the true energy is released, and it cannot span more than ten or dozens of steps like Fangmen!
Immediately afterwards, Yu Lie discovered a clue.
He noticed that after taking out the flying blade, Fangmen was standing higher than the other two Taoist disciples, and the other's fingers were pinching the magic formula without stopping for a moment.
A closer look shows that Fangmen is not casting a spell, but more like plucking the strings of a piano.
Yu Lie focused his eyes and vaguely spotted a cold light flickering in mid-air, as if there was a spider-like rope connecting the flying blade and the square door.
As a result, Fang Men performed the trick of using a flying blade to harvest the enemy's lives.
This calmed Yu Lie's mind, and he watched for a few more times, clearly seeing the methods of the three people opposite him.
"This opportunity cannot be missed. After this wave of hunting, these three people will probably return."
Yu Lie turned over his hands, and several yellow-brown talisman papers appeared in his hands, and he was about to take action.
His body flickered, jumping between the cliffs like an ape. He patted the talisman in his hand, and the talisman that cracked the mountains and cracked rocks turned into fragments of different sizes, rolled down the rock wall, and rushed in with a rumble.
The scene of the fight between the Fangmen group and the half-man.
Oh, there were several screams immediately!
The falling rocks hit a large number of semi-crowds first, smashing a few unlucky guys into a pulp, but more of them hit the three people from Fangmen with snarling faces.
Such movement immediately disrupted the opponent's formation.
The three people in Fangmen all stopped their movements to avoid the falling rocks, and no one tried to resist, lest the enemy would have a back-up move later.
Although Yu Lie's move of throwing rocks from the cliff was ordinary, it was very effective.
Moreover, several of his spells were just introductions. The cliffs of the mountain collapsed and more rolling stones were produced on their own, which fell down the cliffs.
Seeing the enemy's confusion, a shrill roar suddenly came from the mouth of the half-human leader:
"Owl!"
The golden-red flames in the eyes of all the demi-humans instantly expanded and turned red, and they went crazy. Because of the immortality of the creatures in this world, the demi-humans who fell to the ground in pieces also screamed miserably and rushed towards the three people from Fangmen.
Just one plan of falling rocks and remaining columns increased the risks for Fangmen and his party a lot.
Angry stern voices also sounded among the three people in Fangmen: "Be careful, another scavenger is coming!"
Fang Men dodged and cursed: "That guy, you are looking for death."
He looked around, apparently convinced that someone was behind the scenes. It seemed that this was not the first time they had encountered this kind of thing in the wild.
What surprised Yu Lie even more was that after the three people gathered together again, they decisively gave up on the half-human corpses on the ground and immediately rushed behind them, not wanting to stop fighting for a moment.
All these show that the level of the three Fangmen fighting in the wild is not low.
But Yu Lie was also someone who had been hanging out in the wild. He was secretly prepared and had already prepared.
Seeing that Fang Men's group was about to retreat, Yu Liexiu threw a few more bottles of medicine powder from the cliff. The targets he threw were not the three people from Fang Men, but the half-people who were in a crazy state.
These bottles of medicinal powder are all tiger and wolf medicine that he has modified based on the creatures in this world. They have the effect of stimulating the mind and stimulating qi and blood.
After receiving the leader's order, half of the people were hit by the medicine powder scattered by the rest of the group. Each one of them went crazy, their strength also temporarily increased, and they quickly bit the three people above the door.
Especially the half-human leader among them, Yu Lie threw a few pieces of flesh and blood mixed with Qi and blood elixirs at the opponent. The opponent was in a bloodthirsty state, so he opened his mouth and ate it, and his injuries recovered a lot.
.
With the help of Yu Lie, the situation in the valley changed instantly.
From Fangmen and his group killing half of the people, to now they are being chased and killed by half of the people.
What also surprised Yu Lie was that the nearby area was a territory that was familiar to half people. Although the three people from Fangmen escaped quite quickly and had vaguely planned their retreat early in the morning, the half people dispersed, climbed over mountains and ridges, and took small paths.
, biting tightly behind the three people from Fangmen, making it impossible for the latter to escape.
During this process, Yu Lie walked through the air, with wisps of air wrapped around his side, chasing the opponent at a faster speed.
Now that the other party has seen through it, Yu Lie naturally no longer has to hide his head and tail.
After a while, the three people from Fangmen fled to a hill. The three people occupied the high ground and took a breather.
The half-human tribe also caught up and surrounded them, and it seemed that the two sides were about to get into a fierce battle again.
The terrain seems to be quite favorable for the former. They are not easily dealt with by secret Taoist disciples, and they can more easily deal with the fighting of half-people.
But it was a pity that Yu Lie used the wind control spell and landed on the three people. He took out several crystal-like objects from his sleeves and smashed them down, hitting the three people's footing.
Bang bang, streams of hot flames rose from where they landed, as if a volcano was about to erupt underground.
Such a movement was so frightening that the three people from Fangmen could only jump down from the high ground, with shock and doubt in their eyes:
"What kind of spell is this?"
They looked around, trying to find where the enemy was, and racking their brains to think whether the three of them had offended someone.
Otherwise, they didn't get a powerful treasure in their hands. Even if they were unlucky enough to be spotted in the wild, the other party shouldn't have spent so much money.
The crystal block that Yu Lie threw down was the earth fire essence crystal that he extracted.
After the test, he didn't make a move, and when he did, he simply took out his trump card.
The effect was also obvious. The earth fire was so powerful that Fangmen and his party were suddenly caught between the earth fire and the half-human tribe. Although they had just escaped, the three of them were also splashed by the earth fire, and their auras began to shake.
's flashing.
Bloodthirsty demi-humans were beating around the outside. Although they were also afraid of earth fire, as creatures in this world, they yearned for fire and were not afraid of it.
These half-men were delighted to see their enemies enveloped in flames, blocking their retreat, and jumped forward one by one.
In an instant, an even fiercer fight appeared on the field.
There were roars, the wind howled, and the smell of burning.
At this time, the faces of the people in Fangmen also showed pale faces, and they began to feel frightened.
The more this happens, the more chaotic the cooperation between the three people becomes. They often only care about themselves and ignore others. Without Yu Lie taking action, these three people fell into the hands of half a man.
Suddenly, Fang Men among them looked around, his eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Two Taoist friends, we don't know the enemy, and we don't know who caused it, so we can only accept our destiny!
Everyone, run away!"
Seeing that something was wrong, this guy broke away decisively, took out a spell with cloud patterns from his sleeve, slapped it down, and mist immediately appeared under his feet, lifting him out of the fire and the half-human encirclement.
Then, without looking back, he flew towards the location of the bunker and fled, leaving the other two Taoist disciples dumbfounded.
Fang Men indeed has some wealth. The Soaring Cloud Talisman in his hand is very fast, and the clouds and mist still cover him, preventing him from being hit by the half-man's rocks and flying axes.
But this person didn't know that Yu Lie was standing in mid-air, watching with cold eyes, waiting for the other party to leave the group.
"Fellow Taoist, your death has come."
Yu Lie muttered to himself, flicking his sleeves and swaying.
Two fleshy membranes sprouted from Yu Lie's armpits, flying in the wind, falling from the sky toward each other, like eagles falling from high in the sky, directly killing the sparrows jumping to the ground...
