Just as Ling Yan and the others were about to take further action, suddenly, the deafening howl stopped in an instant. Fire Ranenacom

It was a real momentary stop, from deafening to silence.

This sudden change made Ling Yan have the illusion that he was deaf for a while, and his body stiffened unconsciously.

The others also stopped their movements, looked at Ling Yan with stunned expressions, and then looked around nervously.

You Heng frowned and muttered, "This ...... Why? ”

This time, Ling Yan's reaction after coming back to his senses was very calm, he gestured to everyone to keep quiet, and continued to move forward slowly.

After a few more steps, several people stopped again.

Ling Yan looked at the environment and terrain in front of him, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, so he stopped the team - in front of them, there were still a few trees, and further on, there was a clearing, but around the clearing, there were still woods, as if the trees had surrounded a clearing that was not too small, which looked very strange.

At this time, Ling Yan's nerves were highly tense, staring at the clearing tightly, although his vision was gray and black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but his intuition told him that there was danger looming.

You Heng seemed to be saying to himself, "Here...... How can there be such a terrain? ”

Ling Yan naturally couldn't answer You Heng's question, but he also understood in his heart that this place was very unusual, and judging from the location, the place where the beast howled before seemed to be near here.

Suddenly, a low roar came from behind him: "Whew-"

This roar frightened Ling Yan, who was in a high degree of nervous tension, jumped up, and the other three also turned around with extremely rapid movements, but this was not like their active action, but it was like a conditioned reflex after being frightened.

Among them, You Heng's reaction was quite fast, and as soon as he turned around, he immediately raised his arms, palms facing forward, and soon a blue light appeared.

Sure enough, as Ling Yan expected, after he jumped up and turned to land, he saw a pair of hungry wolf-like green eyes staring at them in the forest not far away, and the roar just now was obviously coming from its mouth.

Although a few people were taken aback, they were not completely unprepared, so when Ling Yan saw You Heng's palm aimed at the glowing eyes, his heart was somewhat relieved.

At this time, Lian Ruiqi raised his hand, and the palm of his hand was also aimed at the beast's eyes.

Maybe it was because it took a short time for the internal qi to gather, or because it was because of waiting for Ling Yan's order, in short, although You Heng and Lian Rui both transported the internal qi, neither of them emitted internal qi waves.

As it turned out, it was a wise choice for them not to rush into the internal qi waves, because when Lian Rui transported the internal qi, the beast seemed to take a step back, because its green eyes moved, and then, more than a dozen glowing eyes appeared in the darkness one after another, and soon, these eyes were almost in a row.

Lian Rui was startled, and his internal qi dissipated instantly; You Heng was also surprised, and he didn't consciously put down his arm, but the internal qi was still attached to the palm of his hand.

Ling Yan immediately became nervous again, there were seven or eight that could be seen in front of him, naturally there must be some who did not appear in the dark, then I don't know how many, now it seems that which beast called it just now is completely uncertain.

At this moment, a low cry rang out again, and Ling Yan couldn't determine which mouth it came from, or which ones, but one thing he could be sure of was that the beasts took a step forward at the same time, as their glowing eyes moved from side to side almost simultaneously.

Ling Yan subconsciously took a step back, and the other three followed Ling Yan and did the same.

The eyes of the beasts moved almost simultaneously, and then several pairs of glowing green eyes appeared next to them.

Ling Yan and the others also took several steps back, and at this time, Ling Yan realized that there were no less than ten beasts in front of him.

Being stared at by more than two dozen bloodthirsty ghosts, Ling Yan only felt that his whole body was hairy, his nerves were tense, and his whole body was stiff and unable to move, except for his feet retreating like a machine.

"Flame ...... General Yan, now ...... How to ......" Lian Rui's voice trembled.

Ling Yan's eyes were fixed on the front, he didn't dare to look away, and for the question that Lian Rui hadn't finished, Ling Yan naturally couldn't answer it, so he simply didn't answer.

Although Ling Yan was extremely nervous, he still "busy" and found a detail that moved him quite a lot-the four of them slowly retreated, but Lu Gong was always in front of him, which made him feel a warm current in his heart. But Ling Yan also knew that in the current situation, Lu Gong had no ability to protect himself at all, and it was unlikely that he would even protect himself; On the other hand, once these beasts attack, it makes no difference whether it is Lu Gong who is standing in front or himself who is standing behind, and the biggest possibility is that none of them will be able to escape. Therefore, Ling Yan did not persuade Lu Gong to retreat more.

In fact, in this dark mountain forest, in the face of the beasts, the distance is still so close, it is almost impossible to turn around and escape. Such an obvious truth, naturally it was not only Ling Yan who saw it, but the other three should also know it in their hearts. However, Lian Rui still unconsciously retreated quickly, and the speed of retreat was obviously faster than Ling Yan, so that he was behind Ling Yan.

In ancient times, it was natural for a soldier to defend a general, and running behind the general was a very serious matter most of the time. Lian Rui has experienced the experience of being a guard soldier under a general like Colonel Zuo, so naturally he will not know this "rule". But maybe he was too frightened in his heart, forgot this rule, or was a conditioned reflex, and unconsciously retreated faster. However, in this crisis situation, not only Lian Rui himself, but also the other three people did not have the extra energy to pay attention to this "insignificant" problem.

The tense nerves made Ling Yan have no time to care about anything else, until Lian Rui sounded on his back with some frightened screams, Ling Yan turned around sharply as if frightened, only to see Lian Rui with his back to him, his body seemed to tremble slightly, and he looked stiff and stepped back - it was obvious that Lian Rui was frightened by the scene in front of him.

Ling Yan continued to look forward along Lian Rui's back, and instantly understood the source of Lian Rui's fear—not far in front of Lian Rui, several pairs of green demonic eyes appeared.

They were surrounded by wild beasts.

"Flame ...... General Yan ......" Lian Rui raised his trembling hand and pointed it in front of him.

Ling Yan didn't reply to Lian Rui's words, he quickly looked left and right, although it looked pitch black now, and it seemed that there was no "thing", but he knew in his heart that since the beast had set up an encirclement, there was no reason to leave such a big loophole, and there must be countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark.

Ling Yan "took the time" to pay attention to the "open space" he had found before, and as he expected, they were now in the middle of this open space, just like actors standing in the center of the stage, and the "audience" around them were waiting to watch their "performance".

"General Yan, General Yan......" Lian Rui thought that Ling Yan hadn't heard his words, so he looked back at Ling Yan and shouted again in a trembling voice.

Ling Yan half-turned around and nodded at Lian Rui, meaning that he noticed the beast behind him.

Not only did Ling Yan see it, but Lu Gong and You Heng also found out that they were surrounded, and You Heng said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, you retreat from that side first, and I will break it off." After saying that, a blue light appeared on his hand again.

Ling Yan smiled bitterly, which was regarded as responding to You Heng's suggestion.

You Heng also knew what Ling Yan meant, and he was busy trying to persuade again: "Virtuous brother! Retreat! I'm afraid I'll ...... late."

Ling Yan shook his head: "Brother You, the four of us will either have dinner with them or kill them together." In fact, Ling Yan also understood that even if he was timid and afraid of death, he would not have a chance to escape if he did exactly what You Heng said.

Hearing Ling Yan say this, You Heng didn't say anything more, just nodded heavily at Ling Yan.

Lu Gong also seemed to be greatly moved, and immediately put on a defensive posture, and his voice was not consciously raised: "General Yan! The last general swears to protect the general to the death!"

Ling Yan was convinced of Lu Gong's words, but at the same time, he also believed that in front of these beasts, Lu Gong's "protection" was almost useless.

Ling Yan didn't say what he thought in his heart, he just smiled and said, "Okay, General Lu, I will always remember your loyalty and bravery." Ling Yan has seen it, and naturally knows that praising the loyalty and courage of his subordinates is the best encouragement and praise for his subordinates.

Lu Gong didn't speak again, but Ling Yan noticed that his hand holding the spear seemed to be tightened.

Since the beast appeared behind them, the beasts in front of them didn't move, as if they were concentrating on enjoying the panicked and nervous looks of Ling Yan and the others, but at this time, the beasts in front of them took a step forward almost at the same time.

Ling Yan saw with his peripheral vision that the eyes of the beast behind him also moved left and right.

It can be seen that they want to narrow the encirclement and attack in a small area.

Ling Yan and the others also took a small step back at the same time, Ling Yan saw that the eyes of several beasts seemed to be staring at the internal qi in You Heng's hand, maybe they were still very afraid of the internal qi waves, but even so, the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable.

Because immediately after, these beasts approached Ling Yan and the others, although their steps were very slow, but that kind of aggressive momentum, if it was replaced by ordinary people, they might have been frightened long ago.

However, after all, You Heng and the others are excellent civil and military generals, and they are not too out of shape, and Ling Yan is also a person who has experienced life and death on the battlefield and has seen big scenes, although his psychological quality is definitely not as good as that of ancient generals, but most of the critical times, he can still achieve "life and death".
