Hailewei nodded, not thinking about the truth or falsehood of these words. In short, these people were unwilling, so forget it.
In the mountain col in the distance, Tang Shi and the others had already arrived at the lair and were quietly selecting the most suitable breakthrough point.
The Ghost King Flower is still deeper inside the nest, but here, you can already see it with the naked eye. On the cliff behind the nest, there are those black and white flowers that look like a ghost face when they bloom.
There are a large number of ghosts and other kinds of undead guarding there. What Tang Shi and the five men have to do is to suddenly attack after getting close to a certain distance, get the things and retreat immediately.
On this side, the spiritual master Jiacheng and others have begun to arrange various means on the retreat path of the five people, including camouflage, traps, and formations.
These are all actions to prevent the undead from pursuing them. For actions like this, this group of elite mercenaries are obviously already familiar with the process, and every link is done very seriously.
"Captain Hailewei, what kind of cultivation level does that red-headed ghost have?" Seeing how meticulously the team arranged it, Shen Chen couldn't help but ask.
Everyone around him was also very curious.
"The eighth-level god master's cultivation and actual combat power are much stronger than the average human eighth-level god master, and can reach the point where one versus five." Helewei said solemnly.
"So powerful?" Old man Kun Ao exclaimed. The further you advance in the realm of the divine way, the more difficult it is to shake the position occupied by the cultivation level.
The same is true for fighting more with less. For those God Lords of the same rank, it is difficult to tell the difference in a one-on-one battle. If it is one-on-two, most of them will almost definitely lose. Now the red-headed ghost is in high-level It's incredible that at the level of a god, he can still be so fierce.
"How does the leader compare with it?" Shen Chen asked curiously. The monster was indeed much more powerful than they expected.
"If I were at my peak, I could fight him for hundreds of rounds, but it would be difficult to win, and I would probably lose in the end. But now, I have a stubborn disease, and it would be good if I could fight for more than ten times. So once that monster appears, we will We have to retreat immediately!" Captain Hailewe said inexplicably.
Shen Chen and everyone else were amazed, secretly sighing that such a powerful mercenary who licked blood from his blade was indeed incredible. Even with the same combat power, he was also formidable and terrifying.
In the distance, Tang Shi's five men finally took action. With the help of three layers of cover, they found a position very close to the cliff in the lair. With four people covering the cover, Tang Shi's deputy leader attacked violently, sweeping his broad sword and slashing towards the cliff. Those ghost king flowers above.
boom!
This blow was quite powerful. Deputy Captain Tang Shi was ready to attack and directly opened a gap in the forbidden barrier on the edge of the cliff.
Then he grabbed those ghost-shaped flowers with his big hands. Due to the excellent position, he directly grabbed dozens of Ghost King Flowers, and the number was more than enough.
Roar!
Ouch!
The undead around them all rushed forward with ferocious looks. There were two Yin ghosts, very tall and obviously powerful leaders. They were guarding the place under the power of the red-headed Yin ghost.
The four Lalu people took action in time to block it.
"retreat!"
After deputy leader Tang Shi landed, he waved the four people away without hesitation.
Everything happened in a flash of lightning. The five of them showed no interest in fighting and fled immediately after they succeeded.
This is the nest of ghosts. If they are surrounded inside, they will be doomed. Even if the leader brings his people to kill them together, it may not be of any use.
Fortunately, the five people's actions progressed very smoothly to this point, and they rushed out of the lair as soon as possible.
However, there are a large number of undead in the mountain col, pouring out densely. At the front, an undead monster with a blood-red head, like a squid, is coming with murderous intent.
"The red-headed ghost!"
Tang Shi and the five others changed their colors. Although they knew that this action would definitely alarm the big monster, they did not expect that the monster would come so quickly.
In fact, it was their bad luck that the red-headed ghost had just woken up and was about to come out to eat the Ghost King Flower. When they started taking action, it was already approaching the cliff.
Such an unexpected encounter was obviously a variable. The five of them gritted their teeth and ran away quickly. It was impossible to confront them head-on.
At the rear, all the things that the spirit master Jiaocheng and others had just arranged were revealed to organize the counterattack of the undead.
However, with the red-headed ghost taking the lead, those things seemed to be vulnerable to being seen through. Whether they were temporary magic circles, traps, puppets, or plant barriers, they were all destroyed.
That monster is too strong.
"Prepare for disarming operations!"
In the bushes, Captain Hailewe looked serious and made no mistakes in his actions, but it seemed that they were out of luck.
The red-headed evil ghost is not only extremely powerful, but also extremely fast. It is difficult for Tang Shi and the five of them to get rid of it easily. They must help each other.
But once you take action, you may fall into a war, so you must prepare a dual strategy of retreat and defense.
For the mercenary group, this meant that they were already in trouble.
The other members are also very serious. Usually at this time, it is easy for a member to die, but this is the life of a mercenary. Death is around you at any time, and it comes without warning.
"You don't have to go out, we have a way to help the five of them escape." Shen Chen raised his hand to stop the mercenaries' movements.
Then he made his hand seals, and streaks of light and shadow flew out of his eyes.
After those lights and shadows flew around the five Tang Shi people who were running away, they turned into their appearance, and started running away in exactly the same way.
In an instant, there were more than a dozen groups of people running for their lives on the mountain road, and their actions and appearance were exactly the same, but they were running in different directions.
Helaway and his team members were all in disbelief. What kind of illusion could this be? It could be released from such a distance, and the scene it performed was so huge, yet still so real.
Even the five Tang Shi people present at the scene were astonished. There were several of them around them. This feeling was very dreamy.
"Go around a few more circles and then run back." Shen Chen said from a distance.
"good!"
Tang Shi, the deputy leader, didn't waste any time. He led his companions and began to run around irregularly in the woods.
Next, an even more incredible scene appeared. Those figures who had figured it out were actually under the control of Shen Chen, moving around in circles quite vividly, which was dizzying.
Even Hailewe and the others, who were paying close attention to their companions, became dizzy after a moment, and were no longer sure whether the people they were following were real people.
Ouch!
The undead that surged toward them were even more disoriented, lost their coordination, and chased their targets around without a clue, instantly becoming a mess.
Even the red-headed ghost was floating in circles, violently showing off its power everywhere, apparently losing sight of its target.
It pounced on one of the batches, and its terrifying tentacles swept out, carrying a large red killing light, shrouding the figures of the batch.
Bang bang bang!
The figures were shattered, and the pupils of Hailewe and the others standing here shrank sharply. Some of them thought they were real people and had been staring at them just now.
But in the end, it was a false alarm. After those extremely real lights and shadows were shattered, there was no blood and no bodies left in place.
"Roar!"
After being tricked once, the red-headed evil spirit roared and went crazy, waving its tentacles and directly tore apart many of the undead boys around it.
"Let's go, they have escaped safely." Shen Chen said calmly.
"Really..." Hailewei was a little surprised. They had not seen any group of people escaping. Could it be that they had gone back to a safer place?
This is indeed more appropriate, because once Tang Shi and the five people run this way, they will definitely attract a large number of undead.
Although they have prepared a good response, it is not absolutely safe.
But the question is, how did this young man always lock the true bodies of the five Tang Shi people, and it seems that the other meeting point chosen was also led by him.
In the Dark Wind Highlands, even he, the group leader, had to use special means to fight with scattered group members.
But that method requires some time to prepare, and it is difficult to use it in this emergency situation.
"Walk!"
However, he had no worries, and the experienced Hailewei immediately chose to believe this young man and ordered the evacuation.
This customer made them feel more and more extraordinary.
About a quarter of an hour later, at a place far apart, the two groups of people successfully fought and both got rid of the pursuers.
"Captain, are you okay?"
Tang Shi and four others came up and asked with concern. They had just arrived here in advance according to the young man's message.
To be honest, even from such a long distance, the young man's voice could always echo in their ears, which even they found a little strange.
But they also chose to believe it, because the process of escaping just now was quite thrilling. They originally thought that they would fall into a dangerous situation and even have members sacrifice themselves, but they ended up getting out of the siege in this way.
"We are all fine, don't delay, continue on the road!" Hailewei glanced at the young man incomprehensibly, and then urged his companions to continue on the road and return to the original route.
Although this unknown and unfamiliar area is not within the red zone, it is still not safe.
"Brother, thank you." Along the way, Tang Shi came over and hugged Shen Chen. He was a powerful seventh-level god master, but at this time, he was like a simple and honest old friend reunited, without any airs of a strong man.
This is also the most primitive personality of a mercenary. Even the leader rarely regards himself as a superior. They are cold-blooded and ruthless towards their enemies, but they can treat helpers who help them in times of need as friends, even if there is a huge difference in cultivation between them. big.
"You're welcome, you were taking risks for us just now." Shen Chen said with a relaxed smile.
Deputy Captain Tang Shi then took out the Ghost King Flowers that he had obtained. The quantity was very sufficient, and there were many leftovers.
Doctor Michelle took away six flowers and used them to refine a potion to resolve the curse on the spot, but there were still twenty-two flowers left.
"Half on each side." Captain Hailewei was quite straightforward and asked Tang Shi to take twelve flowers to Shen Chen.
The latter also contributed just now, and when variables appeared, they played a very practical role, making this operation a near miss and completing it with zero casualties. Taking away half of the Ghost King Flower was not too much.
"This is a plant unique to the Dismal Wind Highlands. It has many uses in the alchemist system. In addition, if you don't need it, you can bring it to the outside world and sell it at a good price." Michelle prepared the potion and put it in a clay pot. , handed it to Shen Chen and the others, and explained with a smile.
"Thank you." Shen Chen took the clay pot and asked everyone to take a sip.
Afterwards, everyone could clearly feel that the root of the curse suppressed by that mark in their blood was quickly dying...
In a corner on the western edge of the Dark Wind Highlands, the strong men of the Dark Holy See had just escaped from a trouble and lost several people.
