Chapter 0476 - Enemy in the Shadows
The door creaked open, revealing Han Rou's figure. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Han Rou was wearing a wide robe, but the belt had not been tied yet, revealing the underwear inside, but she couldn't see anything, in general, she was still wrapped tightly.
"What's the matter, why are you waking us up in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Han Rou was obviously angry, and Xia Yu even saw that Han Rou was clenching her fists uncontrollably, and then let go.
"Let's not talk about that, let's see if they're all there, I'll go see Monroe!" I'll explain to you later!" Xia Yu said and walked quickly back to his room.
Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Meng Luo was still sleeping peacefully, but he instantly felt that something was wrong, why did he not react to Meng Luo in such a hurry, this is not like the reaction of a Jiupin master!
"Monroe! Monroe ......" Xia Yu hurriedly shouted, and stretched out his hand to push Monroe.
"Oops! It looks like it's really coming at us!" Meng Luo reacted under Xia Yu's push, and slowly turned over, Meng Luo said like a dream: "Who? What's the matter?"
"It's me!Monroe, wake up!" Xia Yu took out a dark bottle from his arms, opened the cork and shook the tip of Monro's nose, and Monro was completely sober.
"Xia Yu, it's not good!" As soon as Meng Luo woke up, he immediately realized his situation and made the most correct judgment.
"I know, let's go and see how the situation is on their side!" Xia Yu put away the bottle, praying in her heart that the little princess would not have an accident, otherwise how would she explain to Tianyun!
"How's it going?" Xia Yu asked aloud as soon as she arrived at the door of the witches.
"We're all fine!" it's just that we're sleeping a little ......" The witch rubbed her head, and after being woken up by Xia Yu just now, her head felt a little groggy.
"Didn't you lose anything?" Xia Yu asked uneasily.
"Why do you wake me up, I still have to sleep! I still have to sleep......" cried the little princess in a daze, and the little turtle was still clinging to the little princess's shoulder, and her dark eyes were unusually bright.
Xia Yu was relieved that the little turtle did not show any abnormality, and it seemed that there was no problem.
"Look at this ......" Xia Yu didn't care about the little princess, took out a small piece of mutton cut from the drugged fresh meat, and let the little turtle smell it first, and then handed it to the witch.
"This is ......" The witch looked at the blood-red mutton and held it in her hand without the slightest hesitation.
"This piece of mutton has been drugged, just now after the little turtle identification, although the effect of this medicine is not particularly strong, but it has a sleeping effect, if the dosage is more, it can make people fall asleep without realizing it. ”
"You mean that the mutton we eat is this kind of drugged meat?" said the witch with a frown.
"You should have felt it too, did you sleep a little too heavily just now?"
"Xia Yu is right! I have always been in the habit of cultivating spiritual power as a rest, but today I don't know why I am so sleepy, and I actually fell asleep during cultivation!" Leng Rushuang looked tired.
"But I didn't eat mutton!Besides, I tested it before eating, and I didn't find anything abnormal!" the witch said as she brushed the piece of meat carefully, but found nothing unusual.
"The characteristic of this medicine is that it is not easy to detect! Because this medicine is not toxic, it is generally used to calm the nerves, but if the amount is larger, it can cause people to fall asleep, which is why the spiritual power cannot detect it. As for you didn't eat mutton...... Xia Yu glanced at the witch, "Since you can medicate mutton, then other meals will be drugged as well, but I only found the remaining mutton......"
Xia Yu looked at the three daughters who were still sleepy-eyed, but still took out the bottle just now from his arms, handed it to the witch and said, "This is a sobering medicine, just put it on the tip of your nose and sniff it a few times." ”
This awakening medicine was prepared by Bao'er and the others for Xia Yu, but they didn't expect to use it now.
The witch and Leng Rushuang did as they were told, and the effect was really obvious, only to feel a strange smell that instantly burst through the brain, only to make the whole person feel extremely refreshed.
Xia Yu looked at the little princess with her eyes closed and leaning on the bed, and didn't bother to wake her up again after thinking about it.
"Shall we continue to go back to sleep, or wait for the enemy to appear?" Captain, you decide!" Xia Yu said to the witch lightly, with a look of indifference.
Looking at Xia Yu's appearance, the witch was inexplicably angry, and someone secretly drugged her just one day after she came out, it seems that this journey to the War Beast Forest must not be too peaceful!
The witch said indignantly, but she did not show any dissatisfaction on the surface, and after a deep groan, she said to the people: "Since the enemy has gone to great lengths to deal with us, I think that if we do not deal with them, I am afraid that we will all be at peace along the way! So, I think we will stay here for now, and tomorrow morning we will pretend to split up and find out who these people are trying to deal with!"
Xia Yu and Meng Luo glanced at each other, both nodded, and Leng Rushuang also agreed with this idea.
The experiences of several people are not the same, and from Xia Yu's experience, the witch's idea is very reasonable, first figure out the enemy's target, and then focus on protecting the target, which is one of the rules of the team's battle.
"Then everyone go back and continue to sleep, increase vigilance, maybe the enemy will hide in the dark, our every move is controlled by the enemy, not to be taken lightly!"
Xia Yu and Meng Luo thought it was true, and went back to the house together to pretend to sleep. Cultivators originally slept less, and spent their nights in cultivation as cold as frost.
The night was quiet, and the occasional cat or dog barked once or twice, making the quiet town full of mystery, who was snooping in the dark?
The witch and the frost-cold war beast were all released, a golden lion with a toned body, a snow-capped mountain giant that could fill the room, the two beasts were the same as their owners, there was no trace of breath, only the powerful momentum that occasionally leaked out made people shudder, they were all nine-grade war beasts!
Leng Rushuang has been fighting with Xia Yu since Xia Yu recovered from his injury, and one day, Leng Rushuang, who had not broken through for a long time, finally stepped into the Nine Ranks, and her war beast also entered the Nine Grades realm subsequently.
I don't know if this is the "auspicious star" playing a role again, but since then, the competition between Leng Rushuang and Xia Yu has also turned into a real fight.
Xia Yu didn't have the slightest pity for Leng Rushuang, because he knew what Leng Rushuang wanted-strength! If you want to get strength, you have to pay a lot, obviously Leng Rushuang understands this, and she is ruthless every time she makes a move.
It is precisely because of this that Leng Rushuang's strength has improved very quickly, although she is still only in the primary stage of the ninth grade, but with the special ability of her war beast, she can barely compete with Xia Yu.
There is no word in the middle of the night, and the sky is almost dawn!
It was originally a moonless night, and now the night in the sky is like a black hole before dawn, gloomy and quiet, this is the most sleepy time for people, and a few people who are secretly vigilant all night are even more tired, and staying up late is a very mentally draining drudgery.
Xia Yu looked towards Meng Luo and saw that Meng Luo looked like he was facing a great enemy, his whole body was extremely tight, like a leopard that pounced on its prey at any time, and his body was full of danger.
Meng Luo has maintained this position since he came back in the middle of the night and has not moved, which makes Xia Yu next to him feel ashamed.
This is the difference between Xia Yu and a real warrior, and Meng Luo is a warrior who has been tempered for thousands of years, unlike Xia Yu who is a half-baked nominal warrior, after all, his strength is not his own, but from the "life-taking" charity out of thin air!
Of course, Xia Yu thinks that this is the use fee of "killing his life" in his body, and he deserves it!
"Smack!" In the quiet dark night, a subtle sound came into the ears of several people at the same time, and Xia Yu instantly raised his consciousness and concentrated on detecting the situation in the place where the sound came from.
Now a few people are a team after all, if Xia Yu is alone, then Xia Yu will not hesitate to run towards the place where he spoke, but now he doesn't think about the others.
"Huh?" Xia Yu carefully probed the secret reaction a little strangely, but the result surprised him a little!
Xia Yu was not the only one who was surprised, but the cold as frost in the other room also changed his face greatly!
What did Xia Yu see?
Although this inn is not too big, it is also one of the better inns in Gnosis Town, and the witch Han Rou and the little princess took a fancy to this inn at the same time, so it seems that this inn is also medium-sized. But now this inn is surrounded!
Xia Yu came to this conclusion after careful probing, and the people surrounding the inn were all nine grades!
This is the most surprising thing for Xia Yu, after all, the master of Jiupin is not the cabbage on the street, but the facts in front of him make Xia Yu speechless, judging from the momentum on their bodies, it is Jiupin Yes!
Xia Yu and Meng Luo glanced at each other and saw the doubt in their eyes. The enemy may also know that Xia Yu and the others are on guard, so they no longer hide their figures, and brazenly come out of their respective hidden places, firmly guarding the inn.
There are not many people in this group, there are more than a dozen people, but if you add another decoration to this number - nine pins, it will be amazing!
I'm afraid that even Wu Liang, the city lord of the Imperial City, would not be willing to send such a large group of Nine Rank masters at one time, after all, the Nine Rank Realm is already a rare master on the mainland!
More than a dozen Nine Rank Masters were not the most surprising to Xia Yu, the reason why Xia Yu was so surprised was because he knew this group of people!
Needless to say, this group of people is naturally Carney, Holly and others, Xia Yu felt very ridiculous when he first saw this group of people: Could it be that because of the conflict with them in Shixianglou last time, they tracked him all the way here?
In Xia Yu's opinion, this idea is a little unacceptable, after all, the conflict was not intense, but if it weren't for this reason, Xia Yu really couldn't think of any other reason.
Didn't they come at themselves? Xia Yu had a flash of inspiration, it seemed that this was indeed the case, if it was because of what happened last time, even if they wanted to get angry, it wouldn't take a dozen people to deal with him alone!
Judging from Monroe's expression, this group of people probably didn't come to Monro, it was the other three, right?
"Monro, go meet the three of them first!'s target seems to be the three of them!" Xia Yu whispered, and then his body was like a ghost, and his toes lightly swooped towards the witch's room.
Judging from the induction stone on Xia Yu's wrist, there are no people from his own academy around, but if he relies on his five people to deal with the enemy's dozen people, there is almost no chance of winning, and the current situation can only rush out first and escape into the northern mountain range, so that with the complex terrain mountain range as a cover, there should be no problem for a few people to protect themselves.
The third floor was pitch black, fortunately they were not ordinary people, plus there were sensing stones that could distinguish each other, and the three witches naturally knew that it was Xia Yu and the others who came in. The little princess also came to her senses at this moment, unlike in the past, her whole body was wrapped in Lan Yingying's spiritual power at the moment, and from the perspective of the strength of her spiritual power, she also had the strength of about seven grades.
"Where did this group of people come from? Why are they all Nine Rank Masters?" the witch glanced at Xia Yu and looked downstairs with a solemn expression.
Xia Yu shook his head silently, "I just want to know!" However, I have seen this group of people, and there was a little conflict with one of them in the Shixiang Building last time, and the accent that listened to them did not look like people from the Heavenly Dragon Empire!"
"Do you know them? Are they coming at you?" The witch's face became gloomy, if it was a personal vendetta, then this group of people should not embarrass others, but as the captain, how could the witch watch her team members being bullied by others!
Although from a personal point of view, the witch is very happy to see Xia Yu beaten up, but at present, the two of them are partners, so they have to advance and retreat together.
Xia Yu looked at the witch's face, but did not make a sound, which was regarded as acquiescing to the witch's words. In fact, Xia Yu thinks that the most likely target of this group of people is the little princess, but now he can't reveal the identity of the little princess, so he can only acquiesce to the witch.
"Although I really want to see you beaten by this group of people, but ......" the witch said coldly, without looking at Xia Yu, "For the honor of our academy, I can only stand out for you once!"
Although the witch's words sounded awkward, for Xia Yu, it made him change his opinion of the witch a little.
"They didn't come to Xia Yu, I'm afraid they arrested me back......" The cold voice broke the silence, as if he had made up his mind, "Xia Yu, you know my identity, I know ...... of them"
Xia Yu looked at Leng Rufrost in surprise, it seemed that he had thought wrong before, but now that he knew the other party's goal, it would be much easier!
"Since we know their goal, then we ......" The witch's eyes suddenly changed, and her voice became heavy, but before she could finish speaking, Leng Rushuang spoke first.
"Their target is only me, so as long as you don't make a move, they won't do anything to you!" Leng Rushuang said as he put away his war beast, then opened the door and walked outside.
"......Slow down," the witch looked as cold as frost with determination, "I don't know your identity, but I know that you are now my team, if you don't want to go back......"
"What if you don't want to go back...... Leng Rushuang sighed, not at all like her who wasn't cold, "I don't want to involve you in this matter, otherwise ......"
"As long as you don't want to go back, we'll rush out together!I don't believe we can't beat or run!" The witch's voice suddenly rose high, "Don't forget, we're teammates!
"Han Rou is right!" Xia Yu slapped his palm hard, "Since you don't want to go back, then don't go back!"
Monro nodded silently at Leng Rushuang, the look that already made his meaning clear.
"It's too much for so many of them to bully your sister!" the little princess smiled sweetly, and then tilted her little head and said, "Sister, we will all help you!"
"You ......" Leng Rushuang looked at the sincere faces of the four people, she felt for the first time what a touching thing friendship was, which she had never experienced before!
"Thank you for your kindness, they are a group of unscrupulous people who will do anything to complete the task, I don't want everyone to have an accident because of my business, so I can just go out alone!" Leng Rushuang glanced at a few people deeply, turned around and jumped down from the third floor, but when she turned her back, her face was already full of determination!
The four people in the room glanced at each other, but the witch showed excellent leadership at this time.
"Xia Yu is ready to support Leng Ru Frost! Monro and I will go to deal with the people on the roof first! When it really can't work, we will flee into the Northern Mountains from the air!"
"Wait a minute!" the little princess smiled sweetly and said to the witch, "Sister, what about me?"
"You stay in the room first!don't go out!" Xia Yu didn't wait for the witch to answer, and spoke first.
The little princess pouted, although she was reluctant, but she herself knew that with her strength, she could only drag them back.
"Wait! I have two of them in the air, and we can escape from the sky in a moment!" the little princess pulled out two white feathers.
The witch shook her head and said, "Although this method is good, I'm afraid it's not so easy, there are no less than five people on the roof alone! It's not so easy to break through the defense line in the air! However, this is also a way!"
Monro said, "I have a feathered beast!"
The witch also said, "I have it too!"
After the two finished speaking, they looked at Xia Yu at the same time, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"See what I'm doing, knowing that I don't ......" Xia Yu said and took the two Yaokong from the little princess's hand, he didn't know if Leng Rushuang had a feathered beast, so he took both of them for insurance.
"Xia Yu, take the little turtle out!" The little princess reluctantly stroked the little turtle, although she was a little reluctant, but at this moment of life and death, the little princess still understood the importance of the matter.
"The little turtle is still here to protect you!" Xia Yu said, and his body had already jumped down, and the witch and Monro also rolled onto the roof.
"Princess, you better go back with us! Before I came, Your Majesty had instructed that we should invite you back no matter what method we use!"
Leng Rushuang stood not far in front of Carney, silent, his hand already clasped his war beast.
"Hmph, you go back and tell him that I will go back, but not now!" Leng Rushuang's face was extremely cold, and there was even a slight ice cube on her body.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, since you insist on doing so, then you will be offended!" Carney said as his figure flickered towards Leng Rushuang, and the four people around Carney also surrounded Leng Rushuang at the same time.
As soon as Leng Rushuang's words fell, his hand was raised, and at the same time, a delicate little hammer instantly grew larger in the air, just in time to meet Carney's figure.
As soon as the little hammer appeared, the air around it plummeted, and a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.
The other people who surrounded the cold as frost only felt that their bodies were stagnant, but they were not stuck like Xia Yu at the beginning, after all, each of them was a nine-rank master, and as a nine-rank master, they would naturally not be trapped so easily.
"Sticky ice, thorn!" With a cold cry, the ground centered on her suddenly protruded rapidly, and the ice that flashed with cold light slashed through the ground and stabbed straight up from the ground.
This made the unsuspecting four people suddenly taken aback, originally they thought that Leng Rushuang was still the original eight products, but the situation was obviously beyond their expectations!
"Carney, be careful! Her Royal Highness the Princess has reached the ninth rank!" one of the four shouted sharply at Carney in the air.
Hearing this man's shout, Carney's heart sank suddenly, and his punch had inevitably collided with the small hammer thrown by Cold Frost!
The little hammer is not small and exquisite, but the strength on it is very amazing, Rao is Carney has already exerted half of the strength, but compared with the power contained in the small hammer incarnated by the ice giant, it is a world of difference!
The earth-shattering power instantly hit Carney's body, and Carney only felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood rushed out irrepressibly.
"Poof!" Carney was seriously injured under the blow of the small hammer, originally thought that Leng Rushuang was still in the eighth-rank realm, so Carney seemed to pounce on Leng Rushuang with all his might, but in fact, he only used half of his strength.
The hot pain rushed to his brain from the bottom of his heart, and Carney's body shook and he almost fell.
"Carney, are you alright?" The person who reminded Carney just now roared hurriedly, seeing Carney spit out a mouthful of blood, the man's eyes suddenly turned cold, this princess is really ruthless, and the most powerful Carney was seriously injured under one blow!
"Don't you want to arrest me back? Why don't you do it yet?" Cold as frost flashed all over, and spiritual power like ice and snow gushed out, and the small hammer that was still in the air instantly turned into a huge body and smashed heavily on the ground.
The Ice Giant's massive body made the ground shake violently a few times, but the Ice Giant shook his head indifferently, and with a swing of the sledgehammer in his hand, he resisted it on his shoulder, and walked towards Carney step by step.
Besides, Leng Rushuang was surrounded by ice spikes more than one person high, and the layer of sticky ice on the ground still had suction, which made the few people surrounding Leng Rushuang unable to help but be restrained by their figures.
But these four people are nine rank masters after all, they glanced at each other, they had already put away their previous thoughts, and decided to go all out!
To say that cold as frost is really ruthless, as soon as she makes a move, Carney who is taken lightly is seriously injured. However, Leng Rushuang was unaware of this, and with the shamelessness he had learned from Xia Yu, Leng Rushuang's body shuttled through the tree-like ice without stopping.
Leng Rushuang's idea is very simple, with her facing the enemy head-on, the other four must have no chance of winning, only to sneak attack the other party with her own speed that is not affected in the ice cube first!
