Chapter 22: The Attack (1)
In winter, the night is cold and windy, especially in the mountains, and the temperature is surprisingly low. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The heat from the info turned white, and several people in Team 6 were still shivering from the cold, even though they were wearing cotton clothes.
"Let's take a break," Li Dingrui stopped and rubbed the tip of his nose, which was a little red, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find it tonight, let's rest here and continue tomorrow morning." ā
Xie Lingmo rubbed his somewhat wooden fingertips, sighed, and nodded. Although she was unwilling, although she was very worried about the members of the fifth team, she couldn't risk her own team members after all.
There was no cave nearby, so they could only choose a relatively flat place to rest for a while.
Qin Hai placed several white jade statues that had been illuminated with the blood of an exorcist around him, and tied the cinnabar-dyed red rope between several trees and straightened it. Xie Lingmo's hand lit up with a little white light, injecting spirit into this defensive array.
Once everything was set up, everyone was together.
Winters in the north are very dry, and they can't light fires, either to prevent fires or to attract attention. I could only huddle together as much as I could, ready to deal with this cold winter night.
"Why is there no trace at all?" Xie Lingmo muttered to himself, puzzled. They started their search from where Team 5 had disappeared, and until they got there, they didn't find a trace.
This is strange, judging by the bloodstains, the five teams should have been hit very badly, and they could not have the ability to hide their whereabouts so perfectly.
So, were they taken away? By whom? Something that was attacked on them?
Xie Lingmo's face became more and more ugly, and his whole body almost trembled.
"Don't think about it yet," Li Dingrui firmly held her head with both hands, "It's going to be fine, and they were rescued." There are some youkai around here who have registered with the organization, and it is possible that they took five teams with them. ā
Jiang Yu hugged Lu Yaoyao in his arms, blocked most of the cold wind for her sideways, and comforted her softly: "Don't think about it, boss, the blood we see may not be theirs." Maybe it's the youkai? ā
"That's right, the fifth captain is so powerful, it's fine," Lu Yaoyao shrank into Jiang Yu's arms as much as she could, and whispered, "Captain, you have to be calm, you are our core, you can't mess around." ā
Xie Lingmo covered his face and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. Yes, she is the core of the entire sixth team, and the fifth team still needs her help, and she can't mess around.
Xie Lingmo cheered up and beckoned to Qin Hai to come to his side.
Qin Hai obediently came over, and it was rare that he didn't have a seizure, but just lay on Xie Lingmo's lap obediently.
Xie Lingmo whispered to everyone: "Everyone rest here, and we will continue to look for it tomorrow morning." But you all know what's going on here, don't sleep to death, you know? ā
Several people nodded their heads.
Li Dingrui said: "I came to keep vigil in the first half of the night, and Jiang Yu came in the second half of the night." All three of you sleep for a while. ā
Xie Lingmo shook his head and reached out to touch Qin Hai's soft hair. The hand was grabbed by him and placed under his cheek, with a look of attachment.
"I'll keep vigil, and you all sleep." Xie Lingmo said.
Lai put one hand around her shoulder and let her lean on his shoulder. Ignoring her struggles, she said softly, "You're too nervous, this can't work." You close your eyes and sleep for a while, with me, you don't have to worry. ā
Xie Lingmo wanted to push him away, but Li Dingrui insisted on not letting go, and whispered: "Don't push me, I don't mean anything else, I just see that you are too nervous." You'll sleep with me for a while, and you'll have to command tomorrow." ā
Jiang Yu also echoed: "Boss, go to sleep, I will keep a good watch with the deputy team." You are our pillar and must be in the best spirits. ā
Xie Lingmo hesitated for a moment and put down his hand. They were right, she was a little too nervous, and it wouldn't do the search tomorrow any good. What's more, this night is so cold, it's not bad to have someone leaning on it like this.
Several people got together, except for Lai Dingrui, who was going to keep vigil, the others fell asleep in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, Xie Lingmo suddenly heard a rapid wind. She opened her eyes instantly, and before she could react, she was thrown to the ground by Li Dingrui, and several other team members were swept to the ground by him at the same time.
"Get down!"
Xie Lingmo didn't react to what was happening at all, only heard the sound of something rubbing violently against the ground. Immediately after that, a violent wind swept around, and an overwhelming loud noise came, and the small number of trees around was broken by the waist.
A black strip with a diameter of about one meter and a thickness of about one meter collided with everyone, and the defensive circle that had been laid out suddenly emitted a dazzling white light.
A crane chirped faintly, dissipating in the white light, and a white crane with a glowing body rushed out of it. The crane hissed in the air, and with a wave of its wings, it slammed into the black giant shadow that hit it, blocking the blow for everyone, and at the same time turned into countless light powder and disappeared.
The cinnabar red ropes of the defensive circle broke one after another, and several pieces of jade shattered into powder, which were blown away by the cold wind.
At this time, everyone in the six teams had all come to their senses, and Li Dingrui summoned a bright glass lamp to slowly rise into the air, illuminating the area for everyone.
Only then did they realize that standing a few meters away from them was actually a huge black snake!
The black snake was two stories tall and about two meters in diameter at the thickest part of its body. At this time, he was standing with his head bowed slightly, a pair of orange-yellow snake eyes staring at them deadly, and the snake hyacinth kept shaking and hissing, exuding a strong sense of threat.
This is not an ordinary giant snake, this is a snake demon, a snake demon of nearly a thousand years! What's going on? The snake demon of nearly a thousand years actually appeared here!
The thought of the equally broken trees at the missing place of the fifth team, and the purple-black blood stains on that place, everyone's faces were hard to look at.
Everyone in the six teams took a defensive stance, but the giant snake did not move. It turned its head, and the snake's eyes looked at a few people, creepy.
Not far behind the giant serpent, a man in a gray cloak and a hood slowly walked out. The man's eyes were thin and long, his eyes were sharp and full of edge, and he had a thin, slightly bulging Lei Gong mouth under the hooked nose.
He stood behind the giant snake, his eyes carefully examined everyone, and finally stopped at Li Dingrui's body, his eyes were very complicated, and there was some fanaticism mixed with anticipation.
Xie Lingmo looked at this person and snake vigilantly, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ā
The serpent turned its head, its mouth opened, and it let out a human laugh.
The gray-clothed man's voice was hoarse, with some eerie majesty: "Human, you are not worthy to know my name. Starsha, eat them! ā
