At the command, the charging Demon Sect disciples suddenly dispersed. They no longer concentrated on attacking Shen Lang at one point. Instead, they used scattered and roundabout methods to attack Xia Qianjie, Hu Xiaomei, and thirteen people from Daqian behind Shen Lang. The maiden of the kingdom rushed away.
Attacking the enemy's must-save person is often more effective than attacking the enemy directly. It must be said that Blue Ghost's decision-making is very smart.
Shen Lang frowned slightly. This result was not beyond his expectation. He had never thought that he could stop enemies one by one on his own. This was simply unrealistic and he did not have that ability.
And the reason why he rushed out first just now was actually just to try to attract the attention of the Demon Sect disciples and try to kill a few powerful enemies in the seventh team... In addition, the most important thing is You can try to delay it for a while.
Time! The most important thing now is time!
There is still at least half an hour before the time agreed with the fairy. He cannot delay that long. The only hope lies in the righteous monks who are attacking the mountain!
Those righteous fellow disciples may break through the mountain gate at any time, so every time he delays, he is one step closer to victory. But now it seems...
Shen Lang glanced at the direction down the mountain, then looked at the ninety or so Demon Sect disciples who were outflanking him. He couldn't help but sigh, turned around and retreated to Xia Qianjie and the thirteen girls.
"Shen Lang..."
"Big brother..."
"Brother Shen..."
Xia Xiaoniu, Hu Xiaomei, and even thirteen girls gathered around, with concern in their eyes. But Shen Lang's shoulder was still bleeding.
Shen Lang touched the little girl's head, looked at Xia Qianjie again, and then said some very cold words to the girls: "Now I will give you two choices."
"First, choose to retreat. After a while, I will use the magic talisman to forcibly open a gap in their encirclement, but Xia Qianjie and I can each lead two people to rush out. There are thirteen of you, including Hu Xiaomei. Fourteen people. This means that the ten of you who cannot be taken away will definitely die."
The cold words pierced the hearts of the girls like a knife. Only four people could be taken away, and the remaining ten people would undoubtedly die. Such a decision was not cruel.
There was no expression on Shen Lang's face, only a kind of extreme indifference. Survival is inherently cruel, and it is also a cruelty that everyone should face.
Xia Qianjie raised her head and glanced at Shen Lang. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but finally acquiesced to Shen Lang's approach. Because she knew that the current situation could not be treated like a woman. She knew even better that Shen Lang had done a good enough job. , which is enough.
If Shen Lang was really hard-hearted and refused to save anyone, then Shen Lang could have charged in and rushed to the vicinity of the encirclement before, and then used the magic talisman to completely destroy the encirclement of the Demon Sect disciples and escape with ease.
He is now willing to take more risks and take one or two more people out as much as possible, which is undoubtedly a kind of kindness.
The girls were silent, their eyes flickering, as if countless thoughts were rushing into their hearts in an instant.
"Hurry up and decide who lives and who dies." Shen Lang listened to the movements of the Demon Sect monks, "You only have the last three breaths."
"So what's the second option?" Unexpectedly, the relatively younger Lu Chenjia was calmer than most people. At least she remembered that Shen Lang mentioned two options before.
"If you like the first choice, there is no need to waste time by talking about the second choice." Shen Lang said.
"I must choose the second one." Lu Chenjia clenched her fists and said firmly: "No matter what the second choice is, it is always better than leaving behind classmates, sisters, friends and relatives, right? That way
It is better to die than to live in vain."
Shen Lang seemed very satisfied with this answer, and a rare smile appeared on his face. He had always been afraid of death and cherished his life, but he always believed that some things were more valuable than life...
"Second, choose hope. Keep fighting. Everyone must fight and survive every second they can. Waiting for the rescue of the monks at the foot of the mountain. But I must remind you that hope is very slim and no one knows hope.
When will it come? It may not come until all of you are dead."
When Shen Lang said these words, the Demon Sect disciples were already more than ten meters away. The cold knives and swords reflected the cold moonlight and fell on the faces of the girls.
"You still have one last moment to think about it," Shen Lang said.
The girls hesitated for a moment, but Lu Chenjia immediately pulled out a slender sword.
"Thank you, you are a good person. At least you gave us a choice." Lu Chenjia said.
"Are you a good person?" Shen Lang touched his nose, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit sarcastic. It seemed to him that he had never been a good person.
"At most, he can be considered a bad guy with a little bottom line, right?" Shen Lang thought in his mind.
And when Shen Lang was almost drifting away thinking about all this, the Demon Sect disciples had almost rushed to him.
"Kill them all!"
"Don't leave any behind!"
The cold shouts of killing seemed to ring in the ears of the girls, but just when the Demon Sect disciples wanted to take a step forward again and wave the butcher knife.
Very strangely, the air suddenly became extremely hot. Shen Lang raised his hand, and red-white fire suddenly rose up in a radius of five meters around him! The red-white fire light illuminated the night as brightly as day,
The raging true fire was like an insurmountable wall of fire, blocking the dozen Demon Sect disciples who rushed forward. It spread to all directions like a torrent that broke a dam, instantly turning everything into a sea of fire!
The screams of the Demon Sect disciples, the flames burning their flesh and blood, and the hissing sounds of their bodies quickly drying up and being scorched black were endless. In just this short moment, there were at least seven weaker Demon Sect disciples.
died, and nearly twenty Demon Sect disciples were injured.
But such a terrifying large-scale attack consumes extremely terrifying amounts of real energy...
Shen Lang did not look at the miserable situation of the Demon Sect disciples, but looked back at the thirteen girls with a slightly pale face.
Under the dancing firelight, at some point, the thirteen girls had clenched the swords in their hands, and the hesitation and fear in their eyes no longer existed, because they were convinced that they had seen hope.
That was the hope they saw when the Demon Sect disciples charged, and they all thought they would die, and Shen Lang killed four True Spirit monks alone! At that time, the knife and sword representing death were already in front of them, but they were blocked by the dazzling fire.
The hope they saw when it burned into nothingness!
They had despaired over and over again that they were certain to die. But now they are still standing here fine, without even losing a hair. In this case, why can't they believe in hope?
The expressions of the girls under the fire gradually became firm, a kind of determination to live towards death!
At the National Academy of Education, some people taught them benevolence, justice, etiquette, how to sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and even how to fight the enemy. However, no one ever taught them how to live.
How to die.
But today, they are convinced that they have learned. Of course, they must live happily and live with all their might! If they die, they must also die happily and without any regrets!
The girls looked at the raging flames and Shen Lang, who looked like a mentor or an instructor against the background of the flames, and said in unison: "Maybe we will all die, but we still decide to choose hope!"
