In the barren mountains, in the mountains and forests, a circle of rotating spirit arrays appeared out of thin air, and after a faint halo flashed, five embarrassed figures appeared in the array. As they fell, the turning formation quietly dispersed.
"You can't rest, the distance is only two or three miles away from the cave, if the monster wants to pursue, it won't take much time!"
Bai Liwen drank it, and hurriedly pulled Han Jing, who wanted to sit down and rest, to get up.
"Well, get out of here as soon as possible."
Ning Yue nodded, secretly put the sword scabbard on his back, held his arms together, and hugged Zhili horizontally in his arms, the other party was petite, weighing up to seventy catties, but for him now, it was also a big burden.
"Unexpectedly, Xue Che, the strongest among us, died inside, harming others and harming himself." Yin Jintong shook his head, because Xue Che saved him once just now, there was still a trace of regret in his heart, but thinking about the other party himself, he didn't feel much guilt.
Holding a giant axe, he reached out and patted Ning Yue's shoulder, grinning: "If you can't hold on, talk to me." Nothing else, it's just a lot of strength, in fact, you can carry both of you on your shoulders together. ”
"Not yet."
Ning Yue shook his head and refused, the pace of the step was very fast, but it was also obvious that it shook violently and was not steady.
Seeing this, Yin Jintong carried a giant axe and followed behind him, his pace was not slow, but he deliberately did not overtake him, and waited behind him to answer at any time.
The four of them quickly walked through the forest, the time was already dawn, and the fog was still heavy, but those hazy pale could not hide Bai Liwen, who was a sorcerer, and in her eyes, all paths could be seen clearly, leading her companions to shuttle at will.
Half an hour later, everyone finally stopped, found a stream and sat on the spot, Han Jing took off his skin to get water, Yin Jintong fell directly down and lay on the ground to gasp, and Bai Liwen looked vigilant, pulled out a short stick on his waist that looked like a sword, not a sword, and drew traces on the ground, as if he was laying down some spiritual array.
Slowly put Zhili down and made her lie on the ground, Ning Yue was able to catch his breath a few times, his tired eyes turned, looked at Bai Liwen, and asked, "The previous escape spirit array, in fact, you have been prepared for a long time, right?" If I'm not mistaken, the place where you came out, when you came, you deliberately stayed for a while, just saying that there were stones in your shoes. ”
"After all, if you go to such a dangerous place, you must leave a trick behind. It's just that the identity of the sorcerer is too special, and I'm just a beginner now, so it's best for fewer people to know it, so I've been hiding it from you. ”
While Bai Liwen answered, the movements in her hands did not slow down at all, and she continued to outline the lines of the spirit array.
"This is a safe spot that I have set in advance before I met you. The odds of the Demon Beast coming over are far less than the odds of us encountering other sects earlier. ”
"It seems that you have everything ready for a long time."
Ning Yue smiled faintly, in this temporary team, Bai Liwen, who has always been the most inconspicuous, did not expect to play the biggest role at the critical moment.
"Of course, the fundamental purpose of this trip is to rescue Brother Tianxu from the Demon Haze Mountain Range, so naturally all the routes must be planned. What I never expected was that the person had not yet encountered it, but it had encountered the phantom demonic beast. Speaking of which, I don't know how many people will not believe that the Phantom Demon Beast can already transform into a human form......"
Bai Liwen replied casually, and suddenly, she reacted to something, turned her head to look, and her eyes met Ning Yue, and she also read his surprise from the other party's eyes.
"This time, the Phantom Demon Beast has maintained its human form and has not regained its beast form. Although I have never seen a demonic beast that can transform into a human before, I have also heard that the true strength of a demonic beast still needs its own form to be able to exert itself. ”
Ning Yue took the first step to express the doubts in his heart, the power displayed by the phantom demon beast Huo'er did not seem to have the rumored Wind Riding Realm, and in the subsequent confrontation with Zhili and him, he did not have the upper hand steadily, but he still maintained his human form, and did not transform back into his original form.
"It's not that she doesn't change, but she can't?"
Han Jing, who had returned from fetching water, said in a deep voice, the previous battle was so tense that he had been ignoring this issue. Now that I think about it, it's really weird.
Nodding, her pale face was slightly gloomy, Ning Yue continued: "She also said a little bit before, she became a phantom demon beast because she absorbed an ancient spirit weapon, which was mutilated. Perhaps, while the mutilated spiritual weapon brought her incredible power, it also had drawbacks and its own limitations. If that's the case, another thing can be explained. ”
"What's clear?"
Not far away, Yin Jintong, who was resting, was attracted by the conversation here, and a carp stood up, looking at it with doubts in his eyes.
"I think that the Fantasy Demon Beast's Wind Riding Realm is probably not a rumor, but that Huo'er has indeed reached it. However, but ......" voice became weaker and weaker, and suddenly, Ning Yue's eyes closed and he fell straight down.
"Hey, it's okay!"
Seeing this, Han Jing threw down the water bladder in her hand directly, jumped over, and hurriedly reached out to support Ning Yue's collapsed body, but she also consumed a lot in the previous fierce battle, and her strength was not enough for a while, so she was pressed and fell down together.
Boom.
The two figures fell at the same time, Han Jing's right arm was pressed by Ning Yue, half of his body leaned over, and fell directly on the other party's chest, a faint heat came, and his face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly struggled to get up, his eyes swept at will, and he was suddenly shocked, his fingers pressed a little on his dress, and when he lifted it, there was a sticky dark red on his snow-white fingertips.
"No, he's so badly injured!"
Bai Liwen looked at the extra dark red blood stained on Han Jing's dress, her eyes glanced down at Ning Yue, and took a step forward to tear open his somewhat scorched chest, leaving only a few pieces of ragged rags, and further inside, dark red blood scabs condensed on the burning-like scars, which was shocking.
In the previous battle, except for her, the rest of the people were more or less stained with the blood of the demonic beast in the battle, and after a long time, the blood condensed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was their own or the enemy. However, how a person is injured is naturally clear in his own heart.
"Injured like this, just now he was analyzing the situation of the Phantom Demon Beast with us as if nothing happened, can't he feel it himself?"
Han Jing screamed, hurriedly turned out two jade bottles from his clothes, and then turned his head to look at Yin Jintong: "Help drag it and take him to the creek to clean his wounds." ”
"Hmm."
Yin Jintong understood, dragged Ning Yue with one hand, and walked towards the side of the stream as carefully as possible.
Looking at the movements of the two people, Bai Liwen stayed in place and did not take a hand, with a pensive expression.
"What Ning Yue wanted to say just now...... It should be, the strength of the phantom demon beast has indeed reached the wind riding realm, but it is unstable, and it can only maintain its human form is also a temporary backlash. And in order to be able to get out of this state as soon as possible, she had to capture a large number of human powerhouses and eat their essence blood to speed up her cultivation. If that's the case, there are some points that make sense. However, there are more doubts. That's it, don't think about these things yet, and then finish the spirit array. ”
The moment she turned around, her gaze lingered on one of the most conspicuous tall trees in the distance, then shook her head slightly, and continued to trace the lines.
In the distance, on the back of the big tree, a figure leaned on it and snorted lightly: "It's really a good reaction, the new generation from Chaowu Prefecture is indeed much stronger than those on my borders." ”
"But, with the way they are in such a mess now, if I make a move, none of them will survive."
Above him, a figure sat on a branch that stretched out horizontally, the branch was so thin that it seemed to reach its carrying limit with a slight sway, but it would not break in any way.
The person below shook his head and replied, "I'm afraid that a few of them have a lot of backgrounds, so it's better not to act rashly." Don't forget the purpose of our trip, and don't make a fuss. ”
"So, that little wild cat of yours is left alone? After raising it for so long, he disobeyed the order and ran to help an outsider at a critical moment. The man on the branch smiled playfully, stroked his fingers, and the row of daggers pinned to his belt glowed with a strange cold light.
"Why don't I find a chance to help you solve it."
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my own way of disciplining that kitten, and it's not bad to be locked up for a long time and let it run around occasionally. We have nothing to lose by giving them a good impression. Maybe in the future, you may be grateful for the choice, why not? ”
……
At night, the hazy moonlight shrouded the misty forest, and the miserable white mist removed the coldness and a bit of mystery.
Fiddling with the bonfire, in the entire temporary camp, only Bai Liwen was still awake, Ning Yue and Zhili had been asleep, and Yin Jintong couldn't hold it in the afternoon, his eyes were closed, and his snoring was high and low.
As for Han Jing, she was also persuaded to rest a quarter of an hour ago. The spell spirit array has been laid, and she just needs to guard it alone.
"If you think about it, some things are too bizarre. Even if the Phantom Demon Beast gained power with the help of a crippled ancient spirit weapon, there was no reason why its spiritual intelligence had increased so much in a short period of time, and it would even come up with multiple tricks to lure us into the tiger's mouth. Perhaps, we are not the first ones, and there are people in front of us who have been fooled, but unfortunately we have not been able to escape from the cave. ”
With her head down and muttering to herself, Bai Liwen quickly recalled everything she could remember.
The short stick that looked like a sword, not a sword, randomly traced a few lines on the ground, and one figure after another appeared in her mind, inextricably linked to each other in the speculation, sifting through the possible outcome.
Time passed slowly, and her brow furrowed higher and higher. In the end, the short stick in his hand slammed into the ground, and the sketch drawn was no longer recognizable. But in her heart, there are already eyebrows.
"It's a misunderstanding again...... In fact, the answer has been known for a long time, and as we have already said, we have always thought that as long as it is a human being, it must be the enemy of Warcraft. However, there are also existences like Xiaofei who are threatened by Warcraft to persecute humans. So, is there still ...... Secretly, another human force cooperating with Phantom Demon Beasts? ”
When the words fell, she herself was incredulous, but she could not come up with any other reasonable explanation other than this conclusion. On the surface, the major sects came to encircle and suppress, but they were suspicious of each other and had little cooperation with each other, so they gave the possibility of being broken by the demonic beasts one by one.
From the beginning, maybe it was a conspiracy. Whether it is a phantom monster or a human being, they are all just pawns to be used.
Thinking of this, Bai Liwen snorted softly, subconsciously stood up, and was about to look back to wake up Han Jing to discuss with her. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
Not far away, in the mist, there was an extra figure out of thin air......
