When Lao Lu heard this, he was startled: "Come out soon?" He immediately turned back and made a series of gestures.
When everyone saw this, they immediately stood up and sneaked into the depths of the jungle without making a sound.
But obviously this is all a bit late.
A group of about fifty people from the Kongming tribe in the village were riding wolf-like mounts and headed straight for the hiding place. Their goal seemed very clear.
Lao Lu led everyone and quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests. As he walked, he asked Jade Owl: "Have those smelly people been chased out?"
The Jade Owl whispered: "Two of them chased them out, but the smelliest one is still in the village."
Hearing this, Lao Lu nodded, uttered a few bird calls, and the group quickly headed to a predetermined location.
Before each exploration, Lao Lu and others would be prepared in advance to be discovered, and would preset several locations suitable for ambush. If there were not many people chasing after them, they would all be eaten by them.
Along the way, this situation happened several times. Fortunately, the other party didn't pay too much attention to their group. Many times, they didn't even have the practitioners accompanying them, so they sent people to chase them, only to be killed by them.
By the time the other party reacted, Lao Lu and the others had already fled without leaving many traces.
This was also a bit careless. Unexpectedly, in this mountain village that seemed to have a small number of people, there were actually three cultivators from the other side. Although only two people chased them out, it was still a crisis for Lao Lu and the others.
Luo Fang, who was missing an arm, ran quickly and whispered to Lao Lu: "Lao Lu, something is wrong. The mountain village just now is probably an important taming place for the other party.
Those guys chasing out are probably the Yunlang tribe of the Kongming Tribe. In this jungle, you can’t get rid of those guys just by relying on your legs.”
Lao Lu nodded and said: "I understand, as long as we reach the fjord before they catch up, this group of Cloud Wolf Cavalry will not be a worry. What I am worried about is their practitioners!"
An old soldier carrying a black cloth package said: "I will stop it for a while. You can release the red hummingbird and let the practitioners come to meet us."
Lao Lu nodded and whispered: "Lao Luo, be more careful! Just delay it for a moment. Lao Xiao, let the hummingbird out and inform them of our destination!"
A bald man untied a bamboo tube from his waist, took out a handful of black corns, and opened the cover of the bamboo tube. A red hummingbird the size of a fist flew out and landed on the bald man's palm, pecking at the corns. A moment later
, fly to the sky.
Lao Luo, who was carrying a black package, turned around and ran toward the way he came from, unpacking the package on his back and taking out many small things.
Several more birds chirped from the old intersection, and the team speeded up again.
After everyone ran for a certain distance, there were bursts of mournful sounds of wild beasts and roars of people. It seemed that what Old Luo did was very effective.
Lao Lu and the others did not stop for a moment and continued to rush towards the fjord.
The fjord is on a tributary of the Wei River. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Moreover, Lao Lu and others have made some simple rafts before. If the situation is not correct, you can also just ride on the raft and go down the river.
Lao Luo's methods blocked the pursuing soldiers for a full moment, which bought Lao Lu and the others precious time.
Seeing the fjord not far ahead, Lao Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could issue an order, a black shadow passed by in the sky and landed on a big tree on the road they must pass.
Lao Lu looked at the figure on the treetops, and his heart slowly sank.
If you can fly, it means you are a practitioner in the Immortal Realm!
Among Lao Lu's entire team, there was not a single practitioner at this time. Although the signal was sent, the practitioners on his side were still on the road and had not arrived.
Everyone is still a hundred feet away from the fjord, and even if they can get to the fjord, facing a practitioner of this level, Lao Lu and others are just like ants in the eyes of the other party.
The other party has their heart set on it.
Except for a pair of pupils that are very different from the human race, that Kongming tribe's appearance is almost the same as the human race.
This Kongming Clan practitioner has a handsome appearance, with long black hair tied up by a crown. He is looking at the people on the old road below with great interest, and suddenly said: "You are the one who sneaked into this place and evaded several pursuits.
That team of humans, right?"
Lao Lu and others looked at him and remained silent.
The practitioner of the Nakongming Tribe looked at Lao Lu and said with a smile: "There are many tribes who are passing on news about you, saying that you are as cunning as snow foxes and can avoid the eyes and escape from the numerous encirclements and suppressions. It should be
Credit goes to the jade owl next to you!"
The Jade Owl looked at the Kongming Clan cultivator on the treetop with disgust and made a gesture of vomiting.
While they were talking, the pursuing Yunlang cavalry also approached Laolu's team, firmly blocking their retreat.
Lao Lu sighed secretly, knowing that it was impossible to escape safely, so he no longer hesitated and shouted: "Set up the formation!"
The soldiers behind them immediately dispersed into formation and took up their positions, forming the most common black turtle formation in the army.
This formation is good at defense. After the spiritual energy appears, it can turn the soldiers' spiritual energy into a force, and can even resist the attacks of low-level practitioners.
It's a pity that Lao Lu and the others are too small in number, only about a hundred people. If this formation has more than a thousand people, it can even compete with the first-level practitioners of the Human Immortal Realm.
The cultivator of the Kongming Clan stood on the treetops and watched the people on the old road below forming their formations, but did not stop them.
The Yunlang cavalry in the rear were a little restless, and Lao Lu and others were also stalling for time, waiting for the supporting practitioners.
The cultivator on the treetop did not take action, but waved his hand to signal the Cloud Wolf Cavalry below to attack.
The two leaders of the Cloud Wolf Cavalry are practitioners of the Ascension Realm. Those who looked at the old road ahead were already eager to try. When they saw the practitioners on the treetops waving their hands, there was a scream and more than fifty Cloud Wolf Cavalrymen waved their hands.
The weapons, like wild goose feathers, rushed towards the Black Turtle Formation of Lao Lu and others.
Lao Lu and others were as calm as a mountain. When the Yunlang Cavalry came close, they suddenly changed their formation, from the Black Turtle Formation to the Greedy Wolf Formation. The Cloud Wolf Cavalry, with the momentum of a wild goose, crashed into the Greedy Wolf Formation, like a
The wild goose was swallowed up by a giant wolf, and human soldiers were everywhere!
The Kongming Clan cultivator on the treetop frowned and did not take action.
As for the Yunlang cavalry who were caught in the greedy wolf formation, half of them were killed and fell to the ground in just a few breaths.
One of the cultivators in the Ascension Realm was even pulled down from his horse by Luo Fang and several other veterans, and was killed with random swords.
This frightened the Yunlang cavalry who were trapped in the formation, and they quickly huddled together to resist attacks from all directions!
The morale of the human soldiers was greatly boosted, but Lao Lu and others did not relax at all, because the real threat was still standing on the treetops, watching the two men and horses below fighting for their lives with a theatrical attitude.
The Yunlang cavalry huddled together, making it impossible for Lao Lu and others to capture it for a while, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.
This is not a good thing for Lao Lu and the others, because someone among the Yunlang Cavalry has sent out a unique signal. The foreigners within a radius of 50 miles will see this signal and quickly gather over.
The strange thing is that these severely injured Yunlang cavalry did not ask for help from the Kongming tribe practitioner on the treetop, but directly called the surrounding foreign tribes for support through signals.
Seeing this, Lao Lu no longer had any scruples, and directly said to Lao Xiao beside him: "Use the magic flame, and destroy this group of people first!"
Lao Xiao nodded, and a group of seven or eight strong men carrying a half-man high-speed iron tank immediately separated from the crowd, holding iron pipes and shooting at the group of Yunlang cavalry huddled together.
What was shot out were black oily substances that exuded a pungent smell. The shield-wielding Cloud Wolf Cavalry had no idea what these things were, so they cautiously blocked them with the square shields in their hands. As a result, they were all stained.
A large number of soldiers were sprayed with these oily substances.
If Zhang Sui were here, these black oily substances would definitely look very familiar.
Immediately afterwards, seven or eight soldiers from the human race holding bows and arrows lit their arrows and shot directly at the square shields in the hands of those people.
The Cloud Wolf Cavalry, who thought the oil was poison, didn't pay much attention to the scattered rockets.
As a result, I soon realized how powerful these things were. Those black oily substances ignited immediately upon seeing fire and could not be extinguished at all. Even rolling on the ground would not help. The tragic screams of grief could not be heard for a while.
But the Kongming Clan cultivator on the treetop still looked at him coldly, indifferently, and his cold-bloodedness made the hearts of Lao Lu and others tremble.
The few Yunlang cavalrymen in the first place collapsed instantly under the attack of this wave of fire.
The human soldiers holding sharp blades quickly stepped forward and killed the remaining Yunlang cavalry in just a few rounds.
After everything was over, the human soldiers were still in disbelief. They thought they might not be able to escape the high-level practitioners they encountered.
As a result, the cultivator on the other side was actually indifferent, sitting back and watching his people being killed by the human race without any reaction.
Before they even had time to clean up the battlefield, the human soldiers pointed their spears at the alien cultivator on the treetop.
Although he knew he was outmatched, his momentum was not lost at all.
The Kongming Clan cultivator on the treetop smiled, stretched out his palm and patted it. He praised in his mouth: "Awesome! It is true that the soldiers of the Human Race Dynasty who can sweep across the Eastern Continent, with a mere mortal body, can actually pass the advantage of the formation.
Cutting down all the practitioners will open my eyes!"
At this time, Lao Lu was no longer silent and asked: "Your Excellency, you are watching us kill your people. What do you mean?"
The cultivator smiled and said: "Life or death is completely meaningless to the weak. Their death will only be turned into food for the holy beasts, which is considered a worthy death. But the abnormalities on your body interest me very much.
!”
What this practitioner was talking about was the brilliance of the jade talismans that appeared on the human soldiers during the battle just now.
Being able to knock down the elite cavalry on the opposite side in such a short period of time was not only due to the formation, but more importantly, the role played by Zhang Sui's jade talisman.
These jade talismans make these soldiers fearless of death. When fighting hand-to-hand, the advantage is unimaginable.
The two Ascension Realm practitioners from the alien race just now did not attack the human soldiers, but those jade talismans could withstand the blows of the Human Immortal Realm practitioners, and it was no problem to deal with the attacks of these Ascension Realm practitioners.
Often, a single thought would send these two Ascension Realm practitioners into a place of eternal disaster.
The cultivator on the treetop was very shocked by this, because this kind of jade talisman was not worn by a few high-ranking human beings, but was worn by ordinary soldiers, which was a bit hard for him to imagine.
Although he himself said that the life and death of the weak were meaningless, in fact, he was extremely fearful in his heart, because he had discovered that even he could not easily break those jade talismans with one blow, which was a bit fucked up.
Got it!
Think about it, cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm like him are basically the most powerful people in the army. If they cannot kill ordinary soldiers in one blow, then when they face the top leaders of the human race, they will not be able to kill them with one blow.
Thinking about what it would be like made him shudder.
This is also the main reason why he is unwilling to do it himself.
Of course Lao Lu and others didn't know what he was thinking. They thought he was a practitioner who regarded life as nothing, and their hearts were even more heavy.
The practitioners of the Kongming Tribe on the treetops looked at them without saying a word.
Below, Lao Lu and the others were nervous and waiting anxiously.
Finally, the practitioner on the treetop said: "I can let you go, but you have to keep these things!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the jade talismans around the waists of Lao Lu and others.
Lao Lu and others' hearts moved, and they understood why the cultivator on the treetop did not take action.
But it is definitely not possible to hand over the jade talisman to this alien cultivator. Without this layer of protection, if this cultivator does not keep his word, he will really have no resistance to this cultivator.
.
Lao Lu shook his head and said: "Forgive me for not agreeing to your request. I advise you to think twice. With the protection of this jade talisman, you will not be able to do anything to us for a moment, and our support will be here soon."
It’s still unclear whether you can get away by then, so why don’t we just let it go and go our separate ways, what do you think?”
The Kongming Clan cultivator on the treetop chuckled and said: "If I don't take action, do you really think that I am worried about your backup?
If you, a mere mortal, were to talk to me like this, if you were among our Netherworld Saints, you would have pulled out your bones and fed them to the beasts of the underworld. Since you are not willing, then don’t blame me for being rude."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lao Lu and others to respond, a black light wheel fell on Luo Fang. Luo Fang's whole body burst out with a burst of brilliance, and the shadow of a black turtle floated behind him. After supporting it for a moment, it suddenly shattered, and his waist
The jade token in the room was also shattered into pieces, Luo Fang's face turned pale, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he collapsed on the ground.
Lao Lu and others were shocked and quickly stepped forward to block Luo Fang behind them.
The black halo returned to the cultivator on the treetop and shot towards the people below again. Without saying a word, Lao Xiao held a long blade and struck it directly on the black halo. As a result, the long blade in his hand turned into a
The jade talisman around his waist also turned into pieces.
Lao Lu's heart sank to the bottom.
The cultivators on the treetops were also amazed. The jade talismans worn by the mortals below could actually block his blow, which was more than enough. If he hadn't increased the power of the magic wheel to 80%, with one blow,
It can't even break the opponent's jade talisman.
The human soldiers below were also extremely united. After the jade talisman was broken, more people rushed forward to protect the soldiers whose jade talisman was shattered with their bodies.
This gave the practitioners of the Kongming Tribe on the treetops a headache. If they were to break the jade talismans one by one, it would consume a lot of energy.
In this case, he turned his attention to Lao Lu and the jade owl beside him.
After the fight just now, he also knew that Lao Lu was the leader of the group below, and that the jade owl, intentionally or unintentionally, was protected by the soldiers below, and it must also play an important role.
Thinking of this, the cultivator on the treetop rose into the air, turned into a ball of black mist, and pounced directly on the people below.
The people below quickly gathered under the command of Lao Lu and formed the Black Turtle Formation, which was the most defensive.
But at this time, the Black Turtle Formation lost its due role when faced with this alien cultivator from the Human Immortal Realm.
A huge black claw grabbed the old road head-on.
Before approaching the old road, Xiaoyu, the jade owl, suddenly fluttered its wings and flew into the air, crashing headlong into the giant black claw!
All I saw was that the jade owl was surrounded by phantoms, spinning endlessly. The feathers all over its body flashed with aura, blocking the giant black claws from the formation!
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Sui, who was far away in the military camp, felt the connection!
The cultivator of the Kongming Clan was a little surprised. Looking at the four phantoms that were constantly flowing around the Jade Owl, his own blow had no effect, which was hard for him to accept.
He did not expect that facing this group of ordinary human soldiers, he would feel helpless for a moment.
Even this young jade owl, which is only in the Feathering Realm, can rely on the jade talismans around it to resist the attacks of his human fairy realm without any fuss.
This makes the three views of the practitioners of the Kongming clan explode!
Moreover, in his induction, there were two figures of practitioners approaching this position quickly. Their auras were extremely unfamiliar and extremely powerful. They should be the support of the group of human soldiers below!
The Kongming Clan practitioner was a little hesitant. He desperately wanted to get the information about those jade talismans, but he was also worried that he would not be able to cope with the other party's practitioner when they arrived. It was difficult to make a decision for a moment.
Looking at the Black Turtle Formation below, which was strictly guarded, and then at the Jade Owl that was full of fear but stubbornly guarding the formation, the Kongming Clan cultivator felt his heart skip a beat and pulled out a pale green stick from his waist.
Ribbon, wave your hand to the people on the old road below!
The miserable green ribbon turned into a green curtain under the control of the Kongming Clan cultivator, directly covering Lao Lu and others.
Only Xiaoyu, the jade owl, broke out of the curtain, and the shadows around him continued to flow, and the brilliance was much dimmer than before.
The frightened jade owl took a moment to discern its direction, then turned around and flew in the direction of Zhang Sui.
The energy of the practitioners of the Kongming Tribe was spent on the soldiers below. Even though the miserable green curtain enveloped everyone, there was still light shining in the curtain. It was the jade talismans worn by the soldiers that were working.
The jade owl broke out of the siege beyond his expectation, and before he could react, the jade owl's figure turned into a silver-white stream of light and disappeared suddenly away.
The practitioners of the Kongming Tribe looked at the human soldiers in the curtain, then at the retreating figure of the jade owl, and finally gave up the plan of tracking the jade owl and focused their energy on the soldiers.
When Gao Hao of Taibai Kendo and a great monk showed up, the practitioners of the Kongming Clan had already put away their silk ribbons, with several figures wrapped in them, and flew quickly to the southwest!
