Seeing Zhang Xu and others getting closer and closer, Chen Ming and Li Hufa glanced at each other more than ten meters away. They were both wary of the other party making the first move. It wasn't until the two agreed to take action at the same time through hand gestures that they unanimously signaled to everyone.
They took out long silver needles from the storage bags hanging on their waists.
This long silver needle is a necessary item for walking deep in the mountains and old forests all year round in search of "mountain treasures", ginseng and other celestial herbs. There is a thin red rope tied to the silver eye of the silver needle. As long as mountain treasures, ginseng and other things are found, it will be shot out.
The red rope binds it, so it cannot escape through the soil. Even if you encounter a transformed ginseng, as long as the silver needle is nailed to your body and the guidance message conveyed by the red rope, you can find it even if you run to the ends of the earth.
Everyone held the silver needle in their hands. Under the urging of their true power, the silver needle emitted a dazzling white light, and the red rope was pulled as straight as a steel wire. Under the command of Chen Ming and Protector Li, everyone remained calm.
They quietly approached the edge of the cliff and each of them traced a target.
"Let go!" The two men gave the order, and with a thought, the silver needles drove a stream of red light directly into the crowd at the foot of the cliff.
"Rush! Don't let the elixir of immortality escape!"
"Quick, surround us, don't let anyone slip through the net!"
"Separate manpower and stop the opponent. Don't let them get there first. Anyone who blocks the path will be shot to death!"
Amidst the shouts, more than thirty people from Beidou Tianxuan Holy Land and Haotian Mansion each divided into two teams and rushed down the cliff like a whirlwind.
After walking for about two or three hours, Zhang Xu and others walked through the dense forest and came to the bottom of a trapezoidal cliff. This cliff was like a ten thousand-foot sharp sword, standing straight in the clouds and piercing the blue sky.
It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky. However, the high cliffs blocked the western sun so much that the woods under the cliffs looked dark, gloomy and silent. The cypress trees were dense and dense.
It forms a large area. Thousand-year-old trees stand upright, and they are closely nestled together, forming a thick wall. In the middle of the endless green and withered grass, there is a trail trampled by wild beasts, extending from the feet up to the hill.
It invades the middle of the steep cliffs on both sides and disappears into the vast sky.
Suddenly a strong cold wind blew across the treetops, and the forest seemed to wake up and immediately became noisy.
Cheng Yuanming screamed like a pig, first breaking the deep silence in the forest. "Oh my god, it hurts me so much. My buttocks were stung by a wasp."
Then, like a hornet's nest, screams of pain broke out among everyone.
"No, we encountered a swarm of bees, and the pain from the bites on my back was unbearable!"
"I was bitten too and my butt was swollen!"
"Run quickly. If you don't run, you'll get stung all over your head..."
Zhang Xu looked around in the panic of the crowd. Even though he searched carefully, he could not find a wasp, and he could not hear the sound of the swarm of bees. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his heart felt as heavy as lead.
"Everyone, don't panic. There are no swarms here at all. I'm afraid there is something else going on! Let's look at each other and see what we were injured by." Zhang Xu's words made everyone quiet down for an instant, and they turned their backs to let each other examine them.
It didn't matter at this sight, everyone was startled. They saw that everyone had a big bright needle nailed on their back or buttocks, which was as deep as the bone. There was a red rope tied behind each needle, fluttering in the wind.
.
"Hurry up and dial it down for me, it hurts me so much!"
"This needle is nailed to my bone, please move slowly..."
After everyone took out the needle, they remembered to find the source of the needle.
"Where did this come from? The needle came from the barren mountains and wild ridges?" Xiao Yi burst into tears of pain and asked, covering her buttocks with her hands.
Liu Lei was rough-skinned and thick-bodied. He pulled out the needle as if nothing was wrong. He opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn you, there is an old Chinese doctor emerging in this deep mountain and old forest. I am not sick either. What kind of acupuncture treatment are you doing? You have the guts."
Just come out, it’s nothing to hurt people with hidden needles!”
"No, why do I think this needle is tied with a red thread? It's like our parents, Bai Chang, found wild ginseng when they put their heads in the mountains. To prevent the ginseng from escaping, they tied the ginseng with a red thread?" Wang Meng's family originally said
He is from Jilin in Northeast China and fled famine to Longcao Village on the Yellow River, so he is quite familiar with Fangshan.
"It's not like there are some people here who treat us as mountain treasures or ginseng dolls, right?" Huzi said seriously.
Zhang Xu looked around and saw a strong gust of wind blowing by. He felt the cold air coming from the top of the cliff. He couldn't help but shudder. He felt that death was approaching. His heart sank and he quickly reminded everyone: "Hurry up."
Be prepared, something is bound to happen. Once a vision occurs, Liu Lei and I will break up, and Hu Zi will lead everyone to rush across the cliff area quickly, and we will meet again at the front!"
Just before everyone could figure out what was going on, a "swish, swish, swish" sound came from above their heads, the sharp wind broke through, dozens of figures shot down, and the sharp blades brought out cold light.
, volleyed directly towards Zhang Xu and the others.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Don't let these "mountain treasures" escape!"
"The 'Elixir of Immortality' is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking one will extend your life for thousands of years. Whoever dares to compete with me will have a falling out with me!"
"The sect has an order that those who obtain the 'Elixir of Immortality' will be heavily rewarded if they present it. A tree of ten thousand-year-old ginseng king can be exchanged for two top-notch magic weapons! Get out of the way, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
There were screams above the cliff, and the sound of killing shook the sky. The people from Beidou Tianxuan Holy Land and Haotian Mansion rushed through, descending from the sky like soldiers and generals from heaven.
When Zhang Xu and others heard the voice of the human race for the first time, they couldn't help but feel excited and overjoyed to see the shadow of the human race. This was the first time they saw a living person since they traveled across the earth. This was extremely important to them. There were human beings.
The world has hope of survival, and it is possible to return to the earth! Only after a lot of hard work can we have today's exciting encounter! At this moment, everyone has mixed feelings and tears in their eyes.
Although the voices above their heads could not be completely understood, they were indeed human language. Liu Lei, Xiao Yi, Cheng Yuanming and others could not help themselves. They simply faced the sky, opened their arms, and were filled with joy and prepared to welcome this extremely exciting event.
time.
Just when everyone was excited and overjoyed, Zhang Xu understood the meaning of the shout in the air, and his heart trembled. He hurriedly took the Qingming Shield in his hand and danced with the shadow of the shield all over the sky.
Zhang Xu shouted to everyone while waving: "Stop dreaming, these people regard us as ten thousand-year-old ginseng, the elixir of immortality, and are here to kill us!"
Everyone was startled, and the next moment they saw the sky full of swords and sword shadows coming toward their faces. Then they suddenly realized what they were doing. They hurriedly shouted explanations into the air, and picked up their weapons to face the air to deal with the murderous intent coming from afar.
People in the Beidou Tianxuan Holy Land and Haotian Mansion also heard shouts from below. Firstly, they were still far away from each other, and they were in the sky. They could only hear the strong wind passing by, and they couldn't hear the voices below at all. Secondly, they could hear them.
Qingya couldn't quite understand it. After all, the language of modern people on Earth is somewhat different from the ancient language of foreign lands. The louder the shouting from below, the more urgent it was from above, thinking that the "Elixir of Immortality" was trying to escape by connecting with each other through its own voice.
"Quick, get to the ground, surround them, don't let any of them escape!"
Zhang Xu suddenly heard the sound of "Lili" arrows in the air, and was frightened. He knew that the enemy was approaching, and he fired the sleeve arrows to prevent them from escaping. He quickly unfolded his Qingming Shield to block the incoming sharp arrows.
Under the urging of Zhang Xu's tens of thousands of pounds of arm strength, the Qingming Shield was danced so that water could not enter it, and the sky was filled with green clouds. The whole area within ten feet of the square garden was shrouded, and the rain of arrows shot down was collapsed.
flying around.
There was a lightning flash in the air, and everyone descended from the cliff.
Chen Ming, an elite disciple of the Beidou Tianxuan Holy Land, wearing a black battle suit, swooped down from a height of 10,000 feet like a flying eagle at extremely high speeds. When he was two or three feet above the ground, he suddenly bent his body backwards and raised his chin at the same time, like a swallow.
When skimming the water, in an instant, you draw back your fists and feet, move your head and feet forward one by one, sweep forward more than ten feet, and then stabilize your body.
Li Hu of the Haotian Mansion fluttered his broad robe sleeves like two wings, as fast or slowly as he wanted, floating in the breeze, and his figure fell vertically to the ground in a flash.
As soon as the two forces landed, the head-on confrontation began. Both sides ordered to separate their manpower and attack the other side with all their strength to prevent the other side from getting the "Elixir of Immortality" first. There were killing cries and the sound of clanking weapons.
, sparks flew everywhere. Attacking talismans and magic weapons were vaguely visible all over the sky. During the fight, tragic death cries were heard from time to time.
They surrounded Zhang Xu and others and stood on the slightly higher ground, with protruding boulders on all sides. Knowing that their hiding place was exposed, they did not want to pretend to be mysterious anymore. They thought it was too dark in the forest and they lit the torch without scruple.
