"Since the barbarians dare to go deep into the alliance area to besiege this stronghold, they must have made a thorough plan. It is probably hopeless to expect him to come to save us." Shi Mu shook his head.
"This..." Feng Li's heart sank when he heard this.
"There is no time to think too much. The longer we delay, the greater the danger. Let's go." Shi Mu said and stepped forward.
Feng Li nodded and followed.
"Two senior brothers, please wait a moment." There was a sound of footsteps, and the Talisman Masters also rushed over from behind in fear.
Shi Mu raised his eyebrows, but still stopped.
"Brother Shi, can we follow you?" A young man wearing a green robe from the Miaoyin Sect looked at the corpses on the ground, his face turned pale, and he said.
Several other people also looked pale and looked at Shi Mu hopefully.
Most of these Talisman Masters were well protected when they were in the sect and lacked the experience of fighting with others, let alone fighting directly with barbarians.
Now that the barbarians are invading and the stronghold is in chaos, Shi Mu's calmness and strength make them subconsciously want to follow him.
Shi Mu glanced at a few people, showing a slight hesitation.
These people have little actual combat experience. Even if they have some strength, they may not be able to show it when encountering barbarians. They are a bit burdensome and far less flexible than him and Feng Li.
It's just that after all, everyone has lived in the same stronghold, so it would be too ruthless to refuse.
"Brother Shi, after all, we are all companions, so just take them with you. You can use them as shields as a last resort..." Feng Li came over and said a few words, but when he said the last sentence, he became insignificant.
Shi Mu shook his head, ignored Feng Li, and simply said to the others:
"If you want to leave, you can come with us. But whether you can survive encountering barbarians depends on your own abilities."
Several Talisman masters were overjoyed when they heard this and nodded in agreement.
The group of people immediately ran towards the passage ahead, led by Shi Mu. Not long ago, a fork in the road appeared.
"Junior brother Feng, let you lead the way." Shi Mu said.
Feng Li responded. After pondering for a moment, he turned and walked towards the left passage. Shi Mu followed without any hesitation.
Although the other people were a little surprised by Shi Mu's move, they didn't say anything and followed closely behind.
Although the Rat's Nest stronghold is not too big, perhaps in order to cope with the current situation, in addition to the four main passages in the southeast, northwest and northwest, there are also many branch roads interspersed in it.
Under the guidance of Feng Li, the group of people turned left and right in the passage, gradually heading towards the northern exit.
We encountered almost no barbarians along the way, and even if we occasionally encountered one or two, they were able to survive without any danger due to the bombardment of Shi Mu's meteorite black sword and the series of talisman spells from other talisman masters.
…
After a meal, Shi Mu leaned sideways against the stone wall. At the end of the turning ahead was the northern exit of the stronghold.
Shi Mu tilted his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the exit, then immediately stepped back, where he could faintly see some tall barbarian figures walking back and forth on guard.
"The opponent has a total of thirteen people. Two of them are in the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and the rest are in the middle stage of the day after tomorrow." Feng Li stood beside him, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, and whispered.
A trace of surprise flashed across Shi Mu's face. At close range, not only the number of barbarians, but Feng Li could also sense the opponent's strength.
"Go back first." He waved his hand, and the two of them retreated inside, arriving at a remote passage inside.
Shi Mu reached out and patted the wall twice. A gap opened in the passage. The two of them ducked in and the gap immediately closed.
Inside is a small stone room. It was originally a place where the stronghold stored some sundries, and the location is remote. It has not been discovered by the barbarians for the time being.
Several other people were here, and when they saw Shi Mu and the others approaching, they immediately gathered around.
"Brother Shi, how is the exit in front now?" the young man in green robe asked anxiously.
Shi Mujiang told a few people about the situation, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"Now the only way out is to fight hard. The shouts of killing in other places have been reduced a lot. It will only become more and more dangerous to stay here." Feng Li quickly analyzed.
The young man in green robe and others looked at each other for a few times and nodded in agreement.
"Well, there are more barbarians than us, let's lay out our tactics first..." Shi Mu said in a deep voice.
At this moment, the door of the stone chamber clicked, a gap opened, and a green figure jumped in.
This man was wearing barbarian clothes and a barbarian animal skin mask on his face. When he saw someone inside, his eyes were startled.
There was a flash of cold light, and a point of sword light pierced the visitor's throat. It was Feng Li who had taken action.
The person coming was obviously unprepared, and the distance between them was so close that it was too late to dodge.
Seeing that the man was about to be killed by Feng Li, a long black sword appeared out of thin air, and with a "clang" sound, the long sword in Feng Li's hand was cut away.
"Brother Feng, wait a minute, this person is not a barbarian, he is just wearing barbarian clothes." Shi Mu grabbed Feng Li's wrist and said quickly.
Several other people also jumped up at this moment, each took out their talisman weapons, and were about to rush forward. When they heard Shi Mu's words, their movements suddenly stopped.
"Everyone, it's me." The man pulled down the mask on his face, but it was Qingfeng.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Qingfeng." Feng Li was stunned and put down his sword. Several others also breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons.
"Junior Brother Shi has really good eyesight, otherwise I would have died unjustly." Qingfeng closed the stone door and said with a bitter smile.
"Although senior brother has changed into barbarian clothes, he has not changed into shoes. And if you are a barbarian, junior brother Feng will not know about it." Shi Mu said calmly.
When Feng Li heard this, his face turned slightly red.
He was indeed too nervous just now. As soon as he saw the barbarian clothes, he reflexively took action and forgot about his abilities.
When Qingfeng heard this, he had a puzzled look on his face and glanced at Feng Li, obviously a little strange about the meaning of Shi Mu's words just now.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Looking at Senior Brother Qing's appearance, he is also planning to escape from the stronghold through the north exit, right?" Shi Mu coughed dryly and turned around.
"Yes, I just took a look. There are quite a few barbarian totem warriors guarding the entrance. I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave." Qingfeng sighed and said with a wry smile.
"We are also about to rush out from here, how about we do it together?" Shi Mu asked without thinking.
Qingfeng frowned slightly when he heard this, showing some hesitation.
"If Senior Brother Qing has other plans, forget it. We'll just split up and act separately." Seeing Qingfeng's expression, Shi Mu said even though he was a little surprised, he was extremely decisive.
Qingfeng is just a sorcerer apprentice. One more person is not more than him, and one person less than him is not a lot.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Shi, for your understanding!"
Qingfeng could only reply awkwardly, and watched Shi Mu and others discussing countermeasures.
"Everyone, remember, you can release as many talismans as you can in the next breath, and try to disrupt the opponent's formation as much as possible. Then take advantage of the chaos and rush out. Whether you can rush out depends on your luck." Shi Mu said quickly.
Under the current circumstances, the only option is to create chaos and then rush through.
Feng Li and others nodded, holding the talismans in their hands, with a look of determination on their faces.
"Let's go." Shi Mu opened the stone door and the group walked outside.
"Wait a minute, Junior Brother Shi, let me take action with you." Qingfeng's eyes flashed. He seemed to have made some determination, and he suddenly followed him and said.
"Why did Senior Brother Qing suddenly change his mind? Forget it, we don't have time to say more. Then let's act together. You have heard what we just said. If you have any powerful talismans on your body, let's use them together." Shi Mu shook his head.
Didn't ask any more questions.
Qingfeng sighed, nodded, and turned over his hands to take out two shining green talismans. The runes on them were tangled together, looking like a blue tornado.
Shi Mu took a second look at the talisman in Qingfeng's hand. Although he felt it was very strange, he naturally didn't ask any more questions at this moment and headed for the exit first.
"rush!"
After turning the corner, Shi Mu shouted, and as soon as his legs got up, he turned into a faint shadow and rushed away at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, he waved his hand, and six fiery red talismans flew out, transforming into six fire snakes about three feet long, exuding bursts of hot air, and with another bang, they turned into dots of fire and rained towards the barbarian cover near the exit.
…
These are fire snake talismans, which can be regarded as low-level talismans and some of the few range attack talismans.
Qingfeng also threw out the two green talismans in his hand. With a flash of blue light, two wind pillars about ten feet high appeared. They merged into one and rose up like crazy. They roared like giant beasts and rolled towards the entrance.
Roll away.
Wherever the strong wind passed, the seemingly hard stones on the walls cracked and shattered, and were swept into the wind. The passage ahead seemed to expand out of thin air.
"It's an intermediate wind talisman!"
Others were overjoyed to see this and immediately threw out various talismans. Fireballs, ice picks, lightning and other spells rained down like raindrops.
Naturally, the barbarians at the exit saw Shi Mu and others, but their movements were slow for a moment, and before they could attack, they were overwhelmed by various spells and strong winds.
Ho ho ho!
In the face of the crisis, the barbarians were shocked and used totem secrets one after another, causing various changes in their bodies.
Attacks such as fireballs, ice cones, wind pillars, etc. bombarded these barbarian totem warriors. Although they knocked them to the ground or knocked them away, the attack power of these low-level spells was limited. Unless they hit the vital points, they could not lose their combat effectiveness.
.
However, even this was enough. Many barbarians were also staggering in the strong wind. The originally neat defensive formation was suddenly broken and chaos broke out.
Shi Mu took the opportunity to sway a few times and rushed out several feet in the blink of an eye. The exit of the stronghold was not far away.
At this moment, with a "Woo" sound, a blood-red spear emerged from the smoke in front, piercing Shi Mu's chest like a poisonous snake.
This shot was so fast that it reached Shi Mu's eyes in a flash.
Shi Mu was startled, but his reaction was not slow. His feet stopped and his body suddenly stopped. At the same time, he turned his arm and hit the side of the gun head with his elbow like lightning.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the gun head bounced back with a shudder as if it was hit by a heavy object.
There was a cry of surprise in the smoke, and the gun tip suddenly shook, turning into seven or eight blood-red gun flowers that rolled back and stabbed Shi Mu's chest and lower abdomen.
Shi Mu snorted coldly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly punched out, hitting one of the bloody gun flowers. (To be continued.)
