Chapter 706: But We Can't Go Up
Hearing Ding Hengzhi's almost collapsed voice, Li Qingyun almost burst into laughter, but Tao Datan could only sigh helplessly.
When is it, and are you still in the mood to fight? Surrounded by dense vampire bats, if it weren't for the presence of Shangguan Zheng, a spiritual cultivator of the Three Realms, with their martial cultivators, they would have been unable to support it a long time ago.
"You find some dry firewood and light it quickly, my spiritual power is a little unbearable. In the face of the overwhelming array of mutated vampire bats, Shangguan Zheng's heart was not as calm as he looked.
It's not that he's not strong enough, it's that there are too many mutated vampire bats that are too terrifying. They are not afraid of death, they will pounce on them at all costs, his spiritual power is constantly consumed, and there is no time to replenish it.
As long as time passes, the spiritual power of the spiritual cultivation will be exhausted, and it will be no different from an ordinary person, and everyone will not be far from death.
Before the words fell, Li Qingyun had already lit a small torch and threw it in the air, instantly scaring the dense vampire bats into fleeing.
Their eyes are not good, but they are sensitive to light sources, and they do not know whether they fear or hate light, whether it is the sun or fire, they can always be frightened.
"Li Qingyun, where did you get the torch?" Tao Datan and Zhao Cheng asked in amazement.
"As a guide in the deep mountains, do you dare to enter the mountain easily without a few torches?" Li Qingyun said, his hand reached into his backpack, took out another torch, and lit it with a windproof lighter.
This time he didn't throw it out, lighting up the nearby area, he pointed to the forest and said, "There are a few pine trees here, whether they are dead or alive, cut them down first." Drizzle it with gasoline and it will always set it on fire. ”
"Do you have gasoline ready?" the group asked in surprise again.
"As a guide in the mountains, don't prepare a few gasoline bottles, do you dare to enter the mountain easily?" Li Qingyun said seriously, as if he was talking about the only rule of being a guide, and no one could see that he was talking nonsense.
"......" The crowd was completely speechless. However, he did not dare to be idle, and cut down two small pine trees with thick bowls in a row.
The trunk was wet, but there were some dry branches, which were broken and gathered together and lit with torches. The firelight, mixed with the scent of pine oil and the green smoke mixed with moisture, slowly rose into the air, dispersing most of the vampire bats.
There were also thousands of vampire bats that were reluctant to leave, hovering over everyone's heads, but they did not dare to pounce for fear of the fire.
Shangguan Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and stood by the fire, closing his eyes and recuperating. Quietly restore aura.
Zhao Cheng took a firewood knife from Li Qingyun's hand, used his martial arts, and split the two small pine trees into small pieces suitable for burning, and put them on the fire to smoke and roast. Only by baking off the serious moisture on it can it burn, and at this time, no matter whether Li Qingyun has a gasoline bottle or not, the fire will not be broken.
So one fire became two fires, and two fires became four fires. Surrounded the three of them in the middle, a few people were relieved. Find a sense of security.
On the side, enough firewood has been piled up, ready to be thrown into the fire.
It was the middle of the night, and the outside world was as dark as the underworld. Li Qingyun and his party were already hungry, so they had the opportunity to eat and grill some sausages and cooked food. A pot of boiling water was boiled, and everyone ate it improvised. Even Li Qingyun, who has always been particular about food, did not go overboard, and after filling his stomach, he laid a layer of moisture-proof mat. Meditate in a narrow open space in the middle of the fire.
This temporary safe area was too small for the four of them to sleep, so they had to sit and rest. Fortunately, several people are cultivators, whether it is spiritual or martial arts, meditation is the basic skill. This cultivation method can replace sleep in a short period of time, and the quality of rest is even higher than sleep.
In the cave on the top of the mountain where Ding Hengzhi was, several people were in rags and guarded at the entrance of the cave. Although the entrance to the cave was covered with rags and rags, vampire bats still crept in, killed by the personnel on duty, and let out a terrible scream.
When they heard that the bottom of the hill was gradually calming, there was no sound of fighting, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy, and they immediately became anxious.
"What's the matter, Li Qingyun won't really leave, right? He won't be the only one to save us, right?" Ding Hengzhi's face was pale, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he asked worriedly.
A middle-aged man from the Western Holy See family shook his head and said, "No, it's not just Li Qingyun, judging from the aura fluctuation just now, there should be a Three Realms spiritual cultivation master who is using a wide range of attack techniques. ”
"Then why didn't they answer me? I shouted for so long, and they didn't even answer a word, are they here to save us?" Ding Hengzhi began to be suspicious.
“…… I don't know about this. The middle-aged foreign man shook his head solemnly, he didn't know about the grievances in the country, as well as the political tendencies of the special management organization, so he naturally had no confidence in this.
I don't know whose stomach is so hungry that it makes a strong protest. This sound seemed to be contagious, and the Western spiritual cultivator who was on duty at the entrance of the cave also screamed in his stomach.
Two vampire bats took the opportunity to burrow through the crack in the cave, squeaked and pounced on his neck. The man dodged in panic and tried to cast a spell to attack the bat. But there was a void in his body, and he should have used the magic that he should have performed, but because his spiritual power was exhausted, nothing appeared, and the bat suddenly pounced on his neck and bit his veins fiercely.
There was no pain, and there was even a hint of numbness, but the man screamed in fright, slapped his hands fiercely, and finally tore off a piece of flesh before pulling the vampire bat off its neck, slamming it to the ground, and stomping it to death.
"Oh shit, I got bitten by a vampire bat. Who has pure water? I need to rinse my wounds! Damn, I need antibiotics and rabies vaccines...... I know, I know, you don't have anything...... I think I'm going to die, like Tom, who didn't get sucked dry of blood by bats, but who died of an infection, ulcerated and pus-shedding. Oh God, that was terrible......"
"Calm down, Owen, you'll be fine. Damn, this vampire bat is so hard to kill, come and help me, a few more are coming in......"
In the cave, there was a panic, they had no torches, only a few searchlights, and a flickering flicker frantically killed all the vampire bats that broke in.
It's just that no one is happy, because the injured people, they don't know what to do.
Ding Hengzhi was so scared that he was going to die, for fear that when he closed his eyes, a vampire bat would lie on his neck and suck blood. The companion who was even more afraid of being injured would suddenly go berserk and tear him to pieces...... Humans who are sucked by vampire bats can contract many diseases, one of the most deadly of which is rabies.
Like in purgatory, Ding Hengzhi spent the longest night. Looking at the time, it was more than five o'clock in the morning when the sound of Tao Datan came from the foot of the hill.
"I'm Tao Datan, the director of the Special Management Office, are there any living people on the top of the mountain? If so, answer quickly, don't delay us in saving people. Tao Datan gave Li Qingyun a chance to vent his anger, so he didn't speak until he arrived here for a few hours.
Li Qingyun is also quite satisfied with Tao Datan's cooperation, the face is given by others, the face is lost by himself, everyone has different positions, it is impossible to talk about who is right and who is wrong, as long as they can get by, it doesn't hurt to endure it for a while.
"Yes, there are living people. Director Tao, you're finally here, I'm Ding Hengzhi, help me, we're trapped in a cave, there are a lot of vampire bats here...... Many of our people have died, and there are still seven still alive, but last night two more were injured and not in good condition, they have started to develop a fever, and the wounds are clearly infected. ”
Ding Hengzhi's tears were about to come out, screaming in a hoarse voice, like grasping the last straw, for fear that he would get rid of it and never live again.
"Well, but we can't go up either. Tao Datan seemed to cry out with regret.
Instantly, there was silence at the top of the mountain and below.
What kind of trouble is this, after talking for a long time, you actually said that you can't go up. Zhao Cheng was carrying four torches on his back, and he had already moved his muscles and bones, and was about to climb to the top of the mountain to save people in one go.
Li Qingyun was also puzzled, not knowing what Tao Datan wanted to do.
"Since there are too many vampire bats outside, in order to avoid more casualties, we can only throw a few torches on it, you receive the torches, jump down as fast as possible, I will let the spiritual master build a buffer net, so that you can come down safely. ”
Tao Datan is not only to help Li Qingyun get angry, but also to consider the safety of his own people, and he also has selfish intentions. The mission only appointed him to save Ding Hengzhi, as for the Western cultivators around Ding Hengzhi, he hoped to die a few more, because these people, when attending the national mission, were mostly mortal enemies.
"Damn, you didn't save us...... What is the difference between now and murder?" Ding Hengzhi was furious, he had heard of Tao Datan's full stop, and he also knew what kind of person he was, but since he came to save himself, it must be someone from his own family who was behind his back, in this case, how could this person dare to treat himself like this?
Tao Datan sneered at the bottom of the mountain, and said in a voice that only a few people nearby could hear: "Forced by the order from above, I saved Ding Hengzhi. But if he colluded with cultivators from abroad, or even people from the Holy See family, then I couldn't pretend not to see it. Many of the members of our Anomaly Management Division have been killed by them while on missions in foreign countries. Therefore, Ding Hengzhi can be saved, but the foreign cultivators around him must die. ”
Li Qingyun looked at the murderous Tao Datan and seemed to understand something. And Shangguan's face was calm, as if he had known about it for a long time. Wu Xiu Zhao Cheng was obviously a little stunned, but he quickly understood, and nodded with the same peace of mind, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
"I'll count three and start throwing torches, ten torches in total, I hope you pick them up as soon as possible, it's not good to extinguish them. Three, two, one......"
As Tao Datan's cold timekeeping sound sounded, the cursing and whining on the top of the mountain stopped abruptly, and when he saw the torch fall on the platform on the top of the mountain, a figure suddenly rushed out and snatched the torch.
Seeing this situation, Li Qingyun secretly shook his head, Tao Datan was more ruthless than he imagined. Of these people on the top of the mountain, it is estimated that only Ding Hengzhi can survive, and the others have already embarked on a dead end since they snatched the torch.
