When Li Yue returned to Strange Rock Slope, her state was obviously different from usual.
The battle just now, the consumption of five natives on her, coupled with the full running during the return process, made her feel exhausted as a first-time participant in the battle.
Originally, she wanted to kill Zheng Kang in one go, but when she personally tried to do it but failed, she finally agreed with the saying that she will lose her temper again and again, and she will be defeated in three attempts.
"Xiao Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Tong Feifei couldn't help being surprised when he saw Li Yue leaning behind a boulder with his eyes closed as soon as he came back.
Li Yue adjusted her breath for a while, then exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Have you met Zheng Kang?"
Li Yue nodded lightly: "We had a fight, but it was still a little bit close. I'm sorry to everyone."
What does almost mean?
Tong Feifei was a little confused, but it was not convenient to ask.
Did he almost kill Zheng Kang, or did he fail a little and was killed by Zheng Kang?
Qin Guoao, who was squatting aside and being honest, couldn't help but said: "I just said that Zheng Kang is an evil person and difficult to deal with. His own strength may not be particularly outstanding, but the pendant on his chest is very strange and mysterious, as if
There is a strange power that can drive ghosts, concoct evil ghosts, and communicate with ghosts..."
Li Yue said slowly: "The pendant is powerful, but I damaged it a little bit, so the damage should be serious."
Tong Feifei's eyes lit up: "So, Xiao Yueyue, you almost killed Zheng Kang? If he is powerful because of the pendant, and the pendant is damaged, doesn't it mean that he is a lost dog now?"
"Don't think too much. He has a protective evil ghost. He is very powerful and always protects him. As long as the evil ghost is there, it will be very difficult to kill Zheng Kang."
Even with the help of the masking spray, Li Yue was unable to complete the attack.
Now, no matter who is present, it is impossible to get close to Zheng Kang, let alone fight against that terrifying evil ghost.
Qin Guoyao seemed to want to prove that he had foresight: "I just said that your plan is too aggressive. Fortunately, you are fine. By the way, where is brother Jiang Yue? Didn't he go with you?"
"He'll be fine."
Although Jiang Yue has not returned yet, Li Yue has always had infinite confidence in Jiang Yue.
"I also hope that he is okay. In short, taking the initiative to take this kind of plan is still too aggressive. We should take advantage of the geographical advantage..."
"There is nothing wrong with the plan. At least it has the effect of shocking Zheng Kang, and it also destroys his defense system and serves the purpose of psychological shock."
In terms of the results of the battle, Zheng Kang could not be eliminated, which obviously failed to achieve the tactical intention.
But from a grand strategic perspective, it shocked Zheng Kang and was more or less a deterrent to him. Moreover, Zheng Kang's rhythm would definitely be disrupted.
In this confrontation of mutual consumption, one loses and the other rises.
Once the momentum over there is suppressed, the situation here will naturally be better.
If Zheng Kang was seriously damaged, he might not have the confidence and strength to cause trouble again.
On the other hand, Tong Feifei seemed extremely calm at the moment.
"Brother Yue hasn't come back, so we can't take it lightly. Qin proudly, please stop beeping a few words. No one will think you are mute if you don't speak. If you want to survive, be honest and don't pretend to be dead when it's your turn to help."
Qin Guoao moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything back.
Just when everyone was worried about Jiang Yue's delay in returning, Jiang Yue's situation was actually very relaxed.
Wu Dingchao was walking around in his ghost form, with several fierce ghosts following behind him.
Jiang Yue didn't intend to fight these ghosts in a bloody battle, he just led them in circles.
It's not that Jiang Yue doesn't have the strength to fight, but because of the current situation, Jiang Yue doesn't want to fight with all his strength.
After all, the night is still long now, and it will be a long time before dawn.
Fighting too hard at this time and using all the trump cards may not be a wise and rational choice in this long night.
The most important thing is that he is not afraid of Wu Dingchao, but he is also followed by several other vicious ghosts. If these ghosts are entangled, they may cause trouble.
The main purpose of this trip is to buy time for Li Yue to hold off these powerful ghosts.
As long as Li Yue can successfully defeat Zheng Kang, these evil ghosts who have lost control will inevitably become stragglers.
Ghosts that cannot unite together cannot cause much destructive power.
As time passed by, Wu Dingchao's violent temper did not change even though he turned into a fierce ghost.
As Jiang Yue kept going around in circles, Wu Dingchao's ferocious spirit was constantly aroused, and his hatred for Jiang Yue quickly accumulated. It was obvious that he wanted Jiang Yue to get the better of him.
Jiang Yue copied Qin Guoao's form, and the order Wu Dingchao received was to kill Qin Guoao.
But despite such a fierce pursuit, Wu Dingchao could never catch up with him, which undoubtedly made Wu Dingchao's anger rapidly intensify.
Jiang Yue kept hanging on to these evil ghosts, neither throwing them too far away nor getting too close. He always kept a glimmer of hope for them, making them feel that if they continued to pursue them, they would definitely be able to catch them.
It was this illusion that he could surely be chased away that kept these ghosts hanging on him, always clinging to Jiang Yue's back like gummy candies.
Jiang Yue would occasionally observe to see if he could find an opportunity to launch some surprise attacks on Wu Dingchao's ghost form.
What surprised him was that although Wu Dingchao had turned into a ghost, his fighting instincts had remained very good, leaving no obvious opportunity for Jiang Yue.
After transforming into a ghost form, Wu Dingchao's whereabouts became even more erratic. As an opponent, he actually became more difficult to deal with.
The intertwining of these factors made Jiang Yue give up the plan of surprise attack and concentrate on leading the opponent in a circle.
All the while keeping an eye on the time.
His previous agreement with Li Yue was within one hour.
After going around in circles like this for several times, it was almost an hour. Considering that it would take some time to return, Jiang Yue decided not to tease them anymore.
Quickly restore the original form, activate the magic talisman with all your strength, make a circle, and quickly turn back.
Wu Dingchao and Li Gui were trying their best to track down the clues of Qin Guozhi, but unexpectedly, the clues were suddenly interrupted and seemed to disappear out of thin air.
This caused these evil spirits to fall into a temporary confusion.
After all, it is a ghost, not the kind of old ghost that has been around for hundreds of years. It is still somewhat inferior in intelligence after all. It lingered in the area where Qin Guoao's aura was interrupted for a while.
Finally, they found a clue.
This clue is another remnant of human beings.
A completely different atmosphere.
What to do now?
Zheng Kang's order is to hunt down Qin Guoao, and it must be completed.
But now Qin proudly's clues were suddenly interrupted, which undoubtedly left these ghosts at a loss.
Although another human aura was found, it was not Qin Pride at all.
If he follows the human aura and chases after him, even if he catches up, what's the use? On the contrary, Qin Guoguo may slip away.
Although the intelligence of ghosts is not as good as that of humans, they still exist after all.
Qin Aoao had escaped tracking once before by using the golden cicada to escape from its shell.
This time, another human aura suddenly appeared. Could it be a repeat of the same trick, another version of the golden cicada escaping from its shell?
Yes, that must be the case!
Wu Dingchao found that this possibility was extremely high.
The abominable Qin Ziguo actually wants to escape using the same trick?
After some communication between several ghosts, Wu Dingchao firmly stated that he must not follow the human aura, otherwise it must be another puppet stand-in. This is Qin proudly repeating the same trick.
He had to search in other directions carefully. Wu Dingchao must have used something to temporarily hide his aura by using this cicada-escaping trick.
As long as you are more careful and in-depth, you will definitely be able to find clues.
Wu Dingchao's preconceived judgment did not even occur to Jiang Yue, and it invisibly provided great convenience for Jiang Yue's return.
He didn't even expect that the group of ghosts that were chasing after him and stalking him would actually stop chasing him?
Jiang Yue once wondered if the other party was up to some conspiracy?
However, in this case, it seems that there are not many tricks that can be done.
Either pursue it or not.
Not chasing will only lead to the distance getting further and further away. Even if there is any conspiracy, there must be room for it to be used?
The distance is getting farther and farther, and this conspiracy has no place.
Jiang Yue deliberately slowed down and did not wait for Wu Dingchao and other ghosts to catch up several times.
"That's weird. Could it be that if I switch back to myself, they won't be able to detect my clues?"
Jiang Yue knew that this was impossible.
The fighting power of ghosts may be strong or weak, but their sensitivity to human aura is absolutely astonishing.
Even the D-class imps he met back then had an instinctive sensitivity to humans, and could easily lock on to human auras and track them.
As long as there is a little bit of breath left, it is impossible to catch up.
It is Qin Aoao's bottle of spray that has this magical effect of temporarily hiding human aura. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to avoid the tracking of ghosts.
"Forget it, if you don't chase me, it won't be a bad thing after all."
Jiang Yue kept Li Yue's situation in mind.
The agreed time has come, and Li Yue is a steady-tempered person. Regardless of winning or losing at this time, the outcome of the battle will definitely be decided.
Although Jiang Yue repeatedly told Li Yue not to force it if something couldn't be done, judging from Li Yue's reaction, Jiang Yue estimated that Li Yue would not stand still.
She has a strong desire to attack.
After a while, Jiang Yue approached the area where Zheng Kang was.
However, from a distance, he discovered that there seemed to be no movement in that area.
No matter whether they are people or ghosts, they all seem to have dispersed.
Jiang Yue quickly approached and found that there were indeed no human traces at the scene, and there were no ghosts lingering around.
However, the scene was in a mess, and the void was still filled with the residual aura after the fierce battle. Especially in the core area, there were several large holes.
Jiang Yue investigated for a while and found that there was no blood or debris at the scene.
There are some residual auras of the dissipated ghosts, but they are already quite weak. If Jiang Yue wasn't so sensitive, he would hardly be able to feel them.
"She took action after all."
Jiang Yue sighed lightly. Although he didn't know how the battle was going, judging from the scene, at least Li Yue should not have suffered a loss.
Jiang Yue knew that Li Yue had the skill of manipulating earth attributes, but Jiang Yue didn't know exactly how to use it in combat, but judging from the scene, the traces on the scene clearly fit the characteristics of Li Yue's skills.
Unable to find any new clues, Jiang Yue did not stay and quickly headed towards the strange rock slope.
He made an agreement with Li Yue that if they didn't meet at the battle scene, they would return to the strange rock slope.
This place is not very far from the strange rock slope. He activated the magical talisman with all his strength, and soon Jiang Yue arrived at the outskirts of the strange rock slope.
Before he could get closer, Jiang Yue noticed something was wrong.
In the dense forest ahead, there was some faint movement.
These movements should not be small, but they seemed to be blocked by some unknown force. When they reached Jiang Yue, the movements were obviously so subtle that they were almost undetectable.
But Jiang Yue's powerful senses still sensed this subtle movement.
This dense forest is the deepest and most secretive area outside the strange rock slope.
If the strange rock slope is used as a camp, then if the outside world wants to attack the strange rock slope, the best ambush terrain is actually this dense forest.
Because it's really easy to hide.
"Is that guy Zheng Kang lurking here, preparing to attack the strange rock slope?"
Jiang Yue came up with an idea.
An idea came up instinctively, so I went closer to check it out.
Zheng Kang controls so many ghosts. It is extremely difficult and almost impossible to get close to them without being discovered.
But Jiang Yue had no intention of meeting Zheng Kang. As long as he found out that the ghost was entrenched in this dense forest, he could basically be sure.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue, as light as a swallow, jumped into the dense forest, using the big trees as cover, and sneaked into the depths of the dense forest step by step.
What surprised him was that he didn't encounter a single ghost along the way, let alone Zheng Kang.
The area of this dense forest is not small, but when Jiang Yue went all the way in, it was already almost one-third deep. No matter how ambitious Zheng Kang was, he should arrange a few little devils to symbolically stand guard at this position, right?
not at all!
Not a single ghost was seen.
"Am I paranoid? Zheng Kang is not here?" Jiang Yue once wondered if there was something wrong with his judgment.
But the obviously suppressed movement just now was definitely not an illusion. Jiang Yue asked himself that he still had this sensitivity.
Jiang Yue was not discouraged and slowly radiated his mental power, trying to find some living creatures in the 30-meter area around him.
In such a huge dense forest, there are always some small animals and so on.
Jiang Yue could borrow any living creature.
In this way, Jiang Yue can undoubtedly observe the situation around the dense forest from multiple angles. Within a circle with a radius of thirty meters, Jiang Yue can capture any situation immediately.
But what surprised him was that after walking for so long, he didn't find a single living creature.
In this huge dense forest, there is not a single small animal? Not even a perching night bird?
No, no!
With the ecology of this dense forest, even if there are no large ferocious beasts, there will always be some insects, snakes, frogs and rats, and it is impossible that there will not be even one living creature.
Jiang Yue's pores stood up slightly.
At this moment, he already knew that something was definitely wrong with this dense forest.
Is this dense forest connected to hell? Is it the entrance to hell? Otherwise, why can't even a small animal be found?
