Chapter 157: Storm Monster
When both of them were about to be devoured, it was Meng Qin'er who grabbed Song Shilin and used the recoil of her cannon to push the whole person into the air.
Meng Qin'er waved her hand absently and said, "Don't thank me, if it wasn't for the captain who split a hole in the quicksand monster just now, let me find a flaw, we wouldn't have been able to get out at all." ”
Song Shilin looked at Jun Wunian again, and seemed to want to thank him, but the "thank you" lingering on his lips couldn't be said. After all, in Song Shilin's impression, Jun Wunian was still the weak mercenary who followed her, and Song Shilin had not yet adapted to Jun Wunian's current identity.
Jun Wunian didn't care about the communication between the two people, but frowned and looked at the ground: "The quicksand monster ran away?" Inadvertently, Jun Wunian's gaze looked in one direction, and there was a trace of doubt and vigilance in his eyes.
"The quicksand monster can't be killed, and if it is broken, it can be reunited again—its escape is already the best outcome for us—" Zhan Hongyue said lightly.
"This is just a quicksand monster, it's already so difficult, how are we going to get past the hordes of quicksand monsters behind us-" One of the Song family's mages spoke, his tone tinged with decadence.
"If you don't touch the earth, what if you walk from above?" Ye Zhen asked. Ye Zhen has been very silent since he joined the team, and he has hardly opened his mouth, but this time he asked extremely seriously.
For this Ye Xu, Jun Wunian has always been a little uneasy. After all, the other people in the team more or less know some details, but this Ye Zhen is unknown and unknown.
According to common sense, most of the loose cultivators would choose to withdraw from this operation, and they couldn't afford to take such a big risk to complete this escort mission because of the remuneration provided by the Song family. Therefore, in the scattered cultivation, except for Shi Zhuoye, only this Ye Zhen remained, which made Jun Wunian suspicious.
"It's impossible to walk in the air, because we can't fly, and once our feet are off the ground, we can't move an inch in the strong wind and sand. "Shi Zhuoye and Ye Zhen were in the same camp a few days ago, although they didn't have any communication, they were still relatively familiar.
"Of course, I don't travel in the sky all the time, but I can sense what is going on ahead, and in a section of the quicksand, pass as far as I can. Ye Chen's tone was a little sensible, his eyes were very bright, giving people a sense of wisdom.
Jun Wunian thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes-then let's change the formation." The Trouble Captain is at the front to find out the situation for us-"
Zhan Hongyue did not refuse, in her opinion, after all, her cultivation was the highest among everyone, her spiritual power was relatively high, and her perception was more keen.
Shi Zhuoye walked to the end of the crowd and was responsible for breaking the back.
The next part of the road went a lot smoother. Whenever Zhan Hongyue detected the quicksand monster, he tried to bypass the road as much as possible, and if he couldn't get around, he forcibly used Jun Wunian's wind track to pass from above.
Jun Wunian frowned, releasing his perception to the maximum. But Jun Wunian didn't pay attention to the road conditions in front of him, but was observing the rear of everyone.
For some reason, Jun Wunian always felt that someone had been monitoring his group, but after being vigilant, he didn't find anything.
Therefore, although Jun Wunian's spiritual power was not weaker than Zhan Hongyue, Jun Wunian still chose to let Zhan Hongyue be the pathfinder, and he was still carefully probing the dynamics around him.
Seeing that he was about to get out of the Storm Formation, Zhan Hongyue stopped at this time.
"We can't go any further—" Zhan Hongyue looked solemn, "There's a bunch of storm monsters ahead, and we can't get around them." But if we go straight to it, we will be swept away. ”
Storm Monster? Jun Wunian looked at the scene in front of him, wasn't this a tornado? No, it was a group of tornadoes.
However, these tornadoes seemed to have their own thoughts, and they slowly and leisurely turned around, as if they had discovered Jun Wunian and them, and with a violent attitude, they attacked Jun Wunian and the others in a mighty manner.
"What should I do—what should I do?" a mage of the Song family panicked, looked at Jun Wunian and asked again and again.
"What else can I do!" Jun Wunian said angrily, running towards the left. Actually, the best direction would be to run backwards, which will increase the distance between the crowd and the storm monster more quickly.
But Jun Wunian felt that there was an invisible hand behind him, and since everyone stepped here, he was controlling everything.
Therefore, Jun Wunian chose the left, and everyone hurriedly followed Jun Wunian.
But the storm monsters didn't let them go, and chased after them, pushing harder and tighter.
"This—how can I run away—" Song Shilin said as she panted, "The storm monster is getting closer and closer to us—and I really can't run—"
The physical strength of girls is much worse than that of boys, and Zhan Hongyue's strength is strong, and she doesn't feel anything. Lan Sheng Mengqin'er and Song Shilin were already sweating profusely, and they had reached the limit of their physical strength.
Jun Wunian grabbed Lan Sheng, who almost fell, and said to everyone without looking back: "Don't stop, keep running." ”
"How long is this going to be—" The sweat on Meng Qin'er's face dripped down drop by drop, and her lips turned white and trembled slightly.
Shi Zhuoye frowned, pulled Meng Qin'er directly, and picked up Meng Qin'er without saying a word and continued to run forward. Lying on Shi Zhuoye's broad back, Meng Qin'er's heartbeat accelerated slightly, and a flush appeared on her face, but at the same time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Jun Wunian ran as he observed the situation of the storm monster behind him. The Storm Monster is a monster that can merge together, and once two tornadoes are combined, it doubles its power and travels faster.
And there are countless tornadoes gathered behind it, which is why the speed is so fast!
Jun Wunian gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Everyone scatters and runs-"
It's risky to run apart, but if you run together, the combined tornado will be so powerful that no one will be able to run away if you catch up.
So far, I can only gamble on it.
Jun Wunian pulled Lan Sheng and ran in one direction, luring away five of the storm monsters. Shi Zhuoye drew the gourd in the same way, and ran in a direction with Meng Qin'er on his back, Chen Yixiao hesitated, but still chose to run with Shi Zhuoye. Although Shi Zhuoye's strength is the strongest in their team, in Chen Yixiao's opinion, the combination of Jun Wunian and Lan Sheng together is the safest side, and there should be no big problem, so he decided to follow Shi Zhuoye and Meng Qin'er.
And Zhan Hongyue took the rest of the people and also ran in one direction, Ye Zhen glanced at Jun Wunian and Lan Sheng, hesitated for a moment and decided to follow the large army.
