9. Elimination (medium)
Seeing Zhang Long sneaking up, Xiaoxue on the side immediately flew down to her shoulder, chattering non-stop, looking very worried. Stretching out his hand to appease Xiaoxue, Zhang Longqian looked at Cang Yan who was silently looking around, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start, just between hesitation, he found that Cang Yan frowned, and his body shook against the wall.
This made Zhang Longqian immediately worried, and subconsciously leaned over: "Cangyan, are you okay?" Did that illusion leave some effect? ”
Seeing that Zhang Long unconsciously stretched out to support his arm, Cang Yan stopped her coldly: "Don't touch me." ”
The serious voice made Zhang Long stiffen, and then obediently withdrew his hand, but the expression on his face was a little gloomy.
Cang Yan didn't look at Zhang Longqian again, he just looked at the darkness in the depths of the corridor, and then flicked his fingers, and a wisp of flame appeared on his fingertips, which was the golden flame that had made Xiao Yingru and Nangong Piao fearful before. Xiao Xue also seemed to be afraid of this flame, as soon as the fire appeared, it chirped weakly, and then retracted into Zhang Longqian's coat pocket, and Zhang Longqian was also alarmed by Xiao Xue's movements, and turned his attention to Cang Yan's hand.
Vibrant, dazzling, still the same warm and bright flame.
Just when Zhang Longqian was thinking like this, the sudden appearance of gorgeous fiery red suddenly surrounded her, and in the blink of an eye, a hollow flame sphere was formed that wrapped her and Cang Yan, and the strange flame on Cang Yan's fingertips also merged into the fireball, swimming along the jumping ball wall, that trace of gold was so conspicuous, like a golden swimming fish.
This series of changes made Zhang Long dive at a loss, no matter how he looked at Cang Yan, he was on guard, but the surroundings were still empty, and he didn't understand what he was guarding against, but soon, she found that there was no regular sound of water droplets in her ears, and it seemed that the translucent ball wall composed of flames was to isolate this sound. Although Zhang Longqian had always felt that the voice that was easy to guard once he realized it was not to be feared at all, Cang Yan's performance of attaching great importance to it also made her cautious.
"I thought that illusion was like a psychological suggestion, and it was easy to crack, but it seems that I was thinking too simply?"
Glancing at Zhang Longqian, Cang Yan, whose face was slowly getting better, said in a deep voice: "That's not a psychological suggestion, but a spiritual resonance, it only takes a moment to completely disrupt the spiritual power in the body, causing the will to collapse and be powerless to resist." The voice is just a disguise, that's what it really is. ”
As he spoke, he looked up at the top of the translucent ball wall.
Looking up with Cang Yan's gaze, Zhang Longqian was surprised to find that the surface of the flame ball wall there actually rippled in circles, as if something invisible was dripping on the ball wall that wrapped them, and the ripples went down layer by layer.
"This illusion will have a huge impact on all creatures with spiritual powers, and now you are only fine with the emptiness in your body, but if you touch me again, you will be affected by me and suffer the same injuries as me."
The cold and usual voice came to his ears, and he was stunned, and Zhang Longqian realized that Cang Yan was explaining why he had to stop her from approaching before, and couldn't help but look over with some surprise, but saw that Cang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze was still looking upward, unwavering.
The calm expression, the cold eyes, the indifferent tone, everything has not changed, just like the cold and gentle fingertips when treating her injuries.
Looking at Cang Yan, who seemed to be thinking about something, Zhang Longqian blinked and pulled his thoughts back, only then did he realize the message conveyed in his words just now: "Are you injured?" Seeing that Cang Yan had no scars on his appearance, and remembering that his spiritual power would be affected and cause disorder, she asked with some concern: "Is that the ...... Internal...... Is it? ”
Seemingly a little surprised by Zhang Longqian's words, Cang Yan glanced at her sideways, then looked at the top of the fireball wall, and said lightly: "Almost, not serious." ”
Then, without waiting for Zhang Longqian to say anything more, Cang Yan raised his hand, and a golden flame ignited in his palm, and then turned into a fire finch and rushed up, passing straight through the center of the circle of ripples on the flame wall, but it did not destroy the flame wall that wrapped them, nor was it weakened by the flame wall, the flame on the fire sparrow was even more dazzling, and then, like a fish entering the water, it sank into the upper part of the road.
The firesparrow flickered away, as if it had been swallowed by the top of the road, and no trace of its existence could be seen anymore, but in the next moment, a sharp and poignant sound came from a far away place above, like the crazy cry of a wounded magpie, which was so piercing and terrifying that Zhang Longqian had to cover his ears, only to find that the ripples that had been waving on the flame wall had disappeared.
"That illusion is gone? You were ...... just now."
didn't open his mouth to answer, Cang Yan just raised his hand and casually beckoned into his arms, and the fireball wall disappeared, and the sound of water droplets that had been ringing regularly in the corridor was indeed gone. Glancing at the top of the Yongdao above, which seemed to have not changed, Cang Yan immediately walked to the depths of the Yongdao, and at the same time said to Zhang Long behind him: "It's just a temporary interruption, hurry up and go." ”
"Where?" Hurriedly followed, Zhang Long subconsciously asked, and immediately reacted: "Looking for Nangong?" ”
didn't open his mouth to answer, Cang Yan just walked forward quickly, and Zhang Longqian could only be quiet, and there was no trace of unhappiness in his heart.
Although Cang Yan and Zhang Longqian still didn't say a few words, it was much more than she expected, after all, when the two were alone before, in addition to treating her injuries, the silent Cang Yan only said one word, and it was to prevent her from continuing to make noise. And now in this environment of hidden crisis, although Cang Yan's words are still not much, and the sentences are short, he has already explained all the necessary information clearly, simple and direct, without superfluous words, this kind of communication not only does not make Zhang Longqian unhappy, but makes her feel very comfortable.
Compared to Nangong Piao, who talks a lot but can't always tell why, Cang Yan is really much better.
With a slight sigh in her heart, Zhang Longqian's mobile phone that served as a flashlight flashed twice at an inopportune time, and she immediately looked at the screen, only to find that the power supply had already reached the bottom. Come to think of it, it's been a few hours since I first fell here, and if I keep turning on the flashlight like this, it's almost time to run out of power.
As if to confirm Zhang Longqian's thoughts, the light of the mobile phone flickered again, and then it went black without a fight. Without this only light source, the surroundings immediately returned to darkness, but Cang Yan seemed to be completely unaffected by the darkness, and still walked forward calmly, which made Zhang Longqian, who subconsciously stopped, immediately hurriedly followed, but she couldn't see anything, she completely lost the most basic sense of direction, and she didn't know how she walked.
Covering her sour nose, Zhang Longqian's tears were almost about to follow, and when she was secretly sighing why she could be so directionless, she suddenly found that a light appeared behind her. Zhang Longqian covered his nose and turned his head to look, and saw Cang Yan standing quietly in place, as if waiting for her, but he didn't look at her, and he held a dancing flame in his palm.
It is not mixed with a special golden flame, but a very ordinary but very gorgeous fiery red, which makes the surroundings become a little warmer.
Rubbing his still sore nose, Zhang Longqian walked behind Cang Yan in embarrassment, and he immediately took a step forward and walked straight forward.
With the reflection of the firelight, Zhang Longqian was finally able to keep up with Cang Yan's pace. It was obviously a small flame, but it could illuminate a long distance, and it also emitted warm heat, which made Zhang Longqian, who had been staying underground and a little cold, slowly warm up.
What a powerful and convenient ability......
Looking at Cang Yan's back in front of him, Zhang Long couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but then he couldn't help but have some doubts.
…… I just think that I'm not qualified to stay here, and I want to go as far as possible, don't I?
In the dream, when facing the old man sitting in the shadows, the young Cang Yan once questioned so coldly, and the performance of the old man who gave him the order was obviously acquiescing in this sentence.
Why was such a powerful Cang Yan expelled from the family because he was "weak"?
Unconsciously recalled the past that belonged to Cangyan that she saw in the illusion, Zhang Longqian hesitated slightly, but her character of not being able to hide things still made her speak.
"That...... Is what you see in the fantasy world your past? ”
It didn't seem that Zhang Longqian would suddenly bring up this topic, and after being silent for a while, Cang Yan let out a cold "um".
"I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to see it."
"It's fine."
"And ......" hesitated, looking at the unwavering back, and couldn't help but think of his young figure pretending to be strong, Zhang Longqian still didn't want to hide it, and said it directly.
"It's not the first time I've seen your memory."
Cang Yan finally shifted his gaze to her.
