Chapter 721 Let’s fight and retreat! (First update)
Compared with the bright spring scenery around the Agate Stone Plain, the climate in the South China Sea jungle area after crossing the Indigo Mountain Gorge is always unacceptably humid. Not to mention the mist and poisonous insects that permeate the forest, the continuous rain alone is unbearable.
Shao Xiahui led the mountain people in the convoy to suffer a great deal.
Although they are also natives of Nanling, the two names "Forest People" and "Mountain People" fully illustrate the environment and climate to which they are adapted. This is also a shortcoming caused by the Terran people's excessive adaptability.
As long as they adapt to one extreme environment, they will also lose their tolerance to other extreme environments.
Fortunately, as a lord, Ian did not insist on speed. He was extremely kind and allowed everyone in the convoy to rest for a while in Trois-Rivières, allowing a group of members who were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization to have time to recover.
Of course, in addition to this, there are other reasons for the convoy to pause: the flooding of rivers caused by seasonal rains has also affected the roads around Trois-Rivières, and many lurking monsters have become active during this time. The creatures in the Flying Flame Land last year
The attack has not yet been completely resolved, and several small caravans have already suffered heavy losses.
The convoy led by Xia Hui is naturally not afraid of attacks by any monsters, but it is best to do as little as possible.
Under the dark rain clouds, the white-haired lord was walking in the foggy jungle, while the green-haired swordsman looked around vigilantly, as if observing whether there were any followers.
The torrential rain washes away everything in the world, the sound of raindrops colliding with leaves fills the world, coupled with the occasional thunder,
It was almost impossible for anyone to hear the conversation between them.
Except for a group of assassins who had been lurking in the dark for a long time, patiently waiting for the two men to take action.
(The target and his escort have left the city and are heading to the suburbs. What are they doing?)
Although Ian and Qingchao escaped from the crowded area, which was very much in line with their expectations, because they could not figure out the reason, the members of the Feiyan Land Dragon Worship Cult led by Grenade said in a deep voice: (Wait a minute, listen to what they want to talk about
What - they deliberately chose this time to come out to communicate, they must be talking about something more important!)
This is indeed the case. When Ian spoke, everyone's attention was attracted.
--prophet.
——Foresight Futaba!
A piece of information that shocked all members of the Dragon Worship Cult came out from Ian's mouth. It turned out that the reason why the alchemist lord personally went to Harrison Port from Xiahui Leader was not only to return to his hometown to visit relatives and old superiors, but also to visit his relatives and old superiors.
It's because he got a crucial piece of news in the giant redwood forest!
There is an ancient prophetic inheritance about the Sequoia Aboriginal people. It is said that the treasure "Foreseeing Twin Leaves" can predict storms and disasters!
The spirits and demi-humans who had originally criticized the actions of the Glimmer and wanted to attack Ian directly gathered together to listen after hearing the news. It was not because Ian's voice was attractive, but as long as the prophet was involved.
The information on Terra is far more precious than gold and potions.
(There are also prophetic treasures in Nanling?)
The Spirit Worshiping Dragon Cult asked with some doubts, but it was not the Grenade or the demi-human who answered, but a member of his own team responded quite excitedly: (Yes, Director! Foreseeing that even though Futaba is in Nanling
It’s just a legend, but in the face of major storms in recent years, the local redwood natives have always been able to respond in advance. In fact, the local natives have never suffered too many disasters due to natural disasters)
(Even if Foresight Futaba is not a prophetic treasure, it is at least a rare item that can predict weather and natural disasters!)
——That is precious enough.
Hearing this, everyone's breathing became a little heavier. But this also brought some flaws.
"who is it?!"
Ian, who was about to talk to Qingchao until he could foresee where Futaba was, suddenly raised his head alertly. His eyes were flashing with spiritual energy. He was a little shocked and asked: "Who is here?!"
Because it has been known for a long time that Ian has the ability to detect psychic powers, this time, the assassination force united by the Dragon Worship Cult of the Three Kingdoms specially used a rare artifact called the Night-Covering Membrane, a magical weapon called the Light-Covering Snake.
Biological snakes shed as equipment.
This kind of creature cannot completely make itself invisible in psychic energy, but it can have a deflection effect, making it
A person's psychic feedback becomes as small as an ant, and even an ascendant is as big as a brittle-bone sparrow.
In Nanling, what should we be wary of about a group of brittle-bone sparrows? Unless the observer is extremely suspicious or has extremely keen observation skills.
Now it seems Ian is both.
"attack!"
Now that they have been discovered, they no longer hide, but take action brazenly, attacking Ian directly - and the leading spirit ordered in the communication channel: (Change the target! Don't kill him, but capture him.
interrogation!)
(I predict that the people above will definitely like this treasure of Futaba!)
When one side captures the other side alive, it represents absolute crushing in terms of strength, just like a close-quarters fight. The person who can feed the other side is definitely much stronger than the other side.
So, does the Dragon Cult really feel that their side's power has absolutely crushed Ian?
——Although we are not professional killers, we feel that we are stronger than Ian!
Generally speaking, this is true.
(Ten people?!)
Seeing the ten black figures leaping out from the woods in the distance, even Qingchao, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help but feel his mind and sighed: (No wonder the boss said that the entire convoy can't stop it -
—Three second levels, combined with seven well-equipped first levels, to assassinate us? It’s enough to attack us!)
(If the original rebel mountain people had such an army, then I would not dare to lead it alone!)
(The front is handed to you.)
Ian squinted his eyes, quickly looked at the enemy, and then he understood in his heart, and then resisted Qingchao: (Remember - let's fight and retreat!)
(Um!)
Qingchao also entered a fighting state at this moment. He shouted loudly: "Sir, you go first!"
Snap, he reached out and grabbed Ian's right hand, and with a flick of his arm, he threw Ian towards the exit of the forest behind him, and he drew his sword with his right hand and slashed forward to create a wave of more than ten meters long.
"The main target is the White People!"
Without any hesitation, the assassination team divided its forces. The demi-human captain of the Cangtian Royal Court faced the Qingtide. His weapon was a huge alien-shaped crescent shovel that resembled a paddle. The dark shovel flashed with the cold and thick earth element.
, cut into the Sword of Waves, smashed it directly, and then without changing its momentum, it smashed towards the swordsman.
"Dust-condensing iron?"
Qingchao dodged to the right. He realized that the material of his opponent's weapon was the precious metal that restrained all "Essence Void" splitting air blades and advanced skills. He fully understood what Ian said before, "They will specifically target us."
ability, so be careful, what does this sentence mean?
Fortunately, he had already prepared to dodge, so he dodged and retreated. Captain Yaren's huge crescent shovel hit Qingchao's original position hard, and a large crater eight meters in diameter and three meters deep suddenly appeared.
, a huge wave of mud and sand swept nearly a hundred meters in all directions, and the rolling sound was like thunder exploding on the ground.
Qingchao avoided this powerful blow, then took the opportunity to raise his sword, rushed back into the mud wave, and pierced the throat of the demi-human captain with his sword - relying only on pure physical strength to hit this blow, even for the extremely talented sub-human.
People also have to exert too much force and temporarily lose their breath!
But facing Qingchao's extremely accurate turning sword, the demi-human captain simply raised his head and breathed out a breath of dragon breath.
Buzz! The gray dragon's breath carried a strong corrosive aura. Wherever it passed, the rain reacted violently, bursting and rising into steam. Qing Chao, who originally thought he was about to cut off the opponent's head, suddenly did the opposite.
To face a life and death crisis.
At the critical moment, Qingchao suddenly lay down close to the ground, hiding his body in the muddy water, and then relied on the lifting ability of controlling water to push himself sideways like a torpedo - this torpedo maneuver he learned from Ian
There is no doubt that it is very useful, and it indeed allows him to avoid the enemy's fatal blow.
boom!
The gray corrosive breath passed through the place where Qingchao originally was and bombarded the ground. A large amount of mud, cement and soil directly rose and burned. In addition to corrosion, the heat energy carried by this breath was also extremely terrifying. The extremely active dragon-type acid liquid was not so much
To melt a substance is to dismantle the substance, and then activate the molecules to move at high speed, generating huge heat energy!
Given time, this ordinary acid breath may evolve into 'fission breath' or 'electromagnetic collapse breath'!
Almost instantly, a radius of tens of meters turned into a sea of fire, and a huge heat wave surged, evaporating all the mud and rainwater.
The last time Qingchao encountered such a life-and-death situation was when he dealt with the Frost Moth in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. Since following Ian, he has not encountered any dangerous situations even in the civil war among the mountain people.
After breaking through the second energy level, with his increasingly advanced swordsmanship and increasingly stronger hard power, his combat ability has improved by leaps and bounds. It can almost be said that he is the strongest combat power that Xiahui Leader can dispatch.
But the enemy is not easy either. This demi-human captain has a dragon-shaped breath organ and can kill almost any existence of the same level instantly. If Qingchao hadn't always been cautious and listened to Ian's teachings, he would have been killed just now.
But now, the demi-human captain's trump card has been exposed, so he is no longer a dangerous opponent.
"I can definitely hold him back or even kill him - but where is the boss?"
At this point, Qingchao even had the energy to observe the battlefield on the other side with the corner of his eye to see what Ian's current situation was like.
Then, the swordsman's pupils vibrated rapidly.
Because, he saw that his lord unfolded his demon wings, made a rapid attack, and almost teleported to the side of an enemy, while the steel-patterned sword that appeared like a ghost cut off his head.
The person whose head was cut off didn't even realize that he was dead. His body charged forward a few more steps before he stumbled to the ground and died with blood flowing all over the ground.
"Damn! He's faster than we thought!"
"Is this a demon? Be careful, he can fly, suppress it!"
Qingchao heard the enemy's shocked and angry voice: "Don't scatter, work in pairs!"
