After spending nearly an hour, Sun Huo set off again.
Although the traveling speed is still much faster this time, it is only about 60% of the previous speed.
After this encounter, Sun Huo realized how arrogant and ignorant he was from sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
I originally thought that with a few magical skills, I could walk around the land of the Immortal Cultivation Family and protect myself. Now it seems so ridiculous.
The strange snake that let him go was obviously the mountain guardian beast tamed by the cultivators. If it weren't for something similar to a mark hidden on the carriage, he would have been buried in the snake's belly.
He should have thought of this a long time ago. How could immortal cultivators occupy such a large territory without any means of protection? In that case, wouldn't it be possible for people to invade at will?
It seems that after luring the enemy this time, he really can no longer leave the convoy and act alone. Although he did not fight the strange snake before, Sun Huo also vaguely felt that this could not be won by just relying on a few magic weapons.<
/p>
Not long after, night fell again. Because of the lesson from the strange snake, Sun Huo did not dare to continue traveling through the night or leave alone.
He just stopped where he was and prepared to spend the night. In order not to reveal his position, he didn't even light a bonfire.
According to the original plan, he was going to take advantage of the darkness to conduct a search and carry out a counterattack against the pursuing killer.
After all, he doesn't need candlelight and can come and go freely in the forest, which will be those people's biggest nightmare.
Now because of the strange snake, I have to give up this plan. I can only adopt the relatively dangerous second plan and wait to be caught up and besieged.
For this reason, he had to recuperate and recuperate, lest something unexpected happen and the boat capsizes in the gutter.
At the same time, in an open space somewhere in the forest, under the cold moonlight, about thirty people were scattered into several piles, as if they were confronting each other.
Although everyone's clothing is slightly different, they all have black scarves covering their faces.
When the early morning sunlight passed through the gap between the trees and shone on Sun Huo's face, his slightly closed eyelids suddenly opened, and his eyes were already shining.
After moving my slightly cold hands and feet, I finally woke up completely.
After returning to the carriage, Sun Huo was not in a hurry to set off immediately. Instead, he took out the map from his arms and looked at it carefully again.
Since you are setting up a trap to let the other party ambush you, you must choose a terrain where it is difficult to escape.
After several comparisons, a location was determined. After estimating the time, Sun Huo set off in a hurry.
Liuyue Lake.
Different from the usually seen lakes that cover a vast area and can't be seen at a glance, Liuyue Lake is thin and long in shape, running north to south. It is about ten miles long, and the widest part is only more than one mile.
Judging from the shape on the map, the entire lake does look like a slender waning moon. What is strange is that there are no rivers or streams flowing into or out of the lake, but it has always existed here and never dried up.
On the opposite side of Liuyue Lake, which is sunken into the ground, there is a cliff next to it. Although the height of the cliff is only twenty or thirty feet, it is not something that ordinary people can easily climb.
Coincidentally, the route of the consecration convoy passes between Liuyue Lake and the cliff.
Perhaps the original intention was that the consecration convoy could rest and replenish here. But if an ambush was set up here, as long as there was a blockade in front and behind, there would really be no way to escape.
Sun Huo was very satisfied with this. Under such terrain, the field of vision was wide and unobstructed, and there was no need to worry about fish slipping through the net.
Seeing that the trees in front of him began to thin out, Sun Huo calmed down and began to deliberately slow down his speed to allow his pursuers to catch up.
But when Sun Huo walked out of the forest, he was once again shocked by the scene in front of him.
The entire surface of Liuyue Lake is as smooth as a mirror, so blue that there is no ripple.
He could feel a faint familiar scent in the water vapor blowing in front of him. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be exactly the same as the scent of the blue crystal stone in his storage bag.
Not long after he was intoxicated, Sun Huo suddenly woke up. He knew that after practicing the Golden Yang Jue, the increasingly powerful aura in his body was exactly the same as the energy in the golden crystal.
So there must be an immortal cultivator hiding somewhere here. Sun Huo, who was no longer calm, quickly used the Heavenly Eye Technique on his eyes.
Looking from a distance again, I saw that the surface and surroundings of Liuyue Lake seemed to be blocked by something, making it appear slightly blurry compared to the original view with the naked eye. Apart from that, there was nothing else out of the ordinary. After hesitating for a while, Sun Huo finally decided to force the carriage out of the forest.
At this time, he was already riding a tiger and was unable to get off, and there seemed to be no way out except to keep moving forward.
Just when he was a little absent-minded, thinking about what to do if a cultivator suddenly appeared, the horse pulling the cart suddenly stopped on its own.
When I looked up, I saw about two hundred paces away, a dozen men in black blocking the road.
But with his extraordinary eyesight, Sun Huo had already seen clearly that one of them was holding a large iron bow in his hand, but he had not yet nocked the arrow.
Sun Huo frowned, feeling a little surprised. He was just surprised that there was such a presence among the killers, and as long as he was careful not to face the heavy arrows, it was not a big problem.
Seeing Sun Huo's carriage suddenly stopped, and no one was seen giving orders, a few people began to raise their legs and approach. Only the archer walked behind, as if he was holding back the battle.
He quickly changed direction and was about to spur his horse to run away, but Sun Huo had already seen seven or eight figures running towards him in the distance.
Sun Huo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and no longer considered the possibility of the immortal cultivator.
He took out a black iron cuff from behind his back, slapped it on his right hand, and then quietly waited for the moment when he was surrounded.
"Why, it's already this time, are you still hiding yourself and not daring to come out and die?" A short and stocky man in black came out, raised the Bagua knife in his hand, and clicked it, closing the door tightly behind Sun Huo.
carriage.
Sun Huo whistled softly and narrowed his eyes slightly, "We are all friends on the road. We can discuss anything. If any of you are willing to put down your weapons now, I can spare his life."
A burst of laughter suddenly broke out, breaking the silence around them.
At this moment, a soft female voice sounded in Sun Huo's ear: "You, a high-ranking immortal cultivator, do you need to joke with a group of ants like this?"
"Who is it? Come out!" Sun Huo's smile froze, and he yelled without even thinking, and his voice suddenly drowned out the laughter around him.
