Chapter 20: The Ambush of the Demons
"Did we really just give up?"
On the way, Han Qingluo wanted to take the initiative to reconcile and come to Jue's side.
"Hmm......" Jue said indifferently, although his tone was insensitive, the movements in his hands revealed the truest thoughts in his heart.
He took the initiative to take her hand as naturally as before, and continued to speak: "The demons will not give up when they find out that their people have died at our hands, instead of entangled with Revorno, it is better to get out as soon as possible, and our goal is not only them." ”
Han Qingluo held Jue's cold big hand back, brought it to his chest, and held it with his other hand, tilted his head to look at Jue, and gently hummed "um" from his nose, and very deliberately dragged out a long tail.
Is she being coquettish to me?
Looking at Han Qingluo's smiling face, Jue meditated in his heart, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise upward, grinning in a brilliant arc.
Her flattering coquettishness made the old deer in his heart start to jump, if the situation wasn't too complicated now, he would definitely not be able to hold it back, and he would have a good kiss Fangze.
Jue's throat twitched, he first suppressed the desire in his heart, pursed his lips, took his eyes off Han Qingluo, looked straight ahead, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Let's go back and rest earlier!" ”
"Hmmm......"
Han Qingluo responded quietly, but buried his head unconsciously......
Just as they were enjoying the world of the two, a figure interjected indifferently.
"Ahem!"
Jia Luo reminded in advance, instantly pulled Han Qingluo out of his shyness, pretended to be calm and pinned the broken hair on his sideburns, and took the initiative to relieve the embarrassment and said, "You talk!" Then Fei Fei took a few steps back.
Jue watched Han Qingluo leave dotingly, and then fell his gaze back on Jia Luo, and his tone returned to his previous coldness: "What's the matter?" ”
"I felt weird, it felt like something was messing with my thoughts, it felt terrible, like some evil force was watching over me, and it was getting stronger."
Jia Luo himself thought it was ridiculous, but he had never felt this kind of feeling, it was very profound, and he endured it for a long time before he planned to tell Jue.
Jue lowered his eyes and thought for half a second: "There is a problem with that blood." ”
"You mean, the blood that the Nine Holy Envoys deliberately sprayed on my face?"
Galo remembered this scene, and at first he was a little suspicious, but he only treated it as ordinary blood, but he didn't expect that there was really a problem!
Jue nodded and continued to analyze: "I'm afraid, that blood has been marked." ”
When Galo heard this, he was not calm for a moment, and then he realized that "Then I have become a moving target?" Seeing Jue's expression was also solemn, he immediately made a decision: "I have to leave everyone!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Jia Luo's blue eyes were instantly covered with scarlet, and he turned around to leave, but he was pulled by Jue, and he said in a deep voice: "It's too late!" ”
As he spoke, his hand was raised behind Garo, and a black shadow who tried to sneak attack was knocked away by Jue in the air.
In the next second, many surging figures appeared around the dark forest, bringing a lot of movement.
"When did you come?"
Jia Luo was surprised that Lian Jue didn't notice the arrival of the demons.
Jue looked around vigilantly and kept waving his hands: "Maybe they hid their aura early and didn't use any power. ”
"What do you mean...... They have already laid an ambush? ”
Garlo drew the sword at his waist, ready for battle.
"I'm afraid so."
Just flew a demon who came closely, Jue responded.
On the other side, the rest of the people were also forced to retreat again and again by the surrounding demons, and the entire guardian team was directly divided into two parts.
Han Qingluo, as a key object of protection, was surrounded by Sevi, Kim, Yuke, and Lunson in the center.
"Don't waste my arrows!"
When the ambush began, Servi decisively abandoned her bow and arrows and handed them to her, armed with a melee weapon.
"Hmm!"
Han Qingluo handed him a firm look of "please rest assured", and began to show his superb archery skills, although he hadn't touched it for a long time, his muscle memory was still there.
The problem was that her night vision was not as good as that of the Bloodline, and under the protection of the other four Bloodline men, she quickly rummaged through the oil lamps in her backpack.
He tore off a piece of cloth directly from his body, smashed the glass of the oil lamp, poured all the oil on it, tied it to the position where the arrow was close to his head, lit it with a fire fold, and immediately aimed it at the dry grass and shot it.
In autumn, the forest is full of dry and flammable leaves, and when it hits a spark, it immediately burns.
The fire spread quickly, like a fire snake, where there is hay, it winds to wherever it goes, many of the demons in ambush were exposed by the firelight, and some demons didn't have time to dodge, and the robes on their bodies were directly bitten by the flames that sparked, and they affected themselves.
With the light, Han Qingluo began to show his skills, bending his bow and arrows, aiming at one demon race after another to shoot quickly, striking accurately, and every arrow played its role.
On the other hand, in order to preserve his strength, Jue directly drew out the long sword on his waist and fought side by side with Galo, and the two blood clans cooperated with each other to kill batch after batch of demon guard pawns who kept coming.
……
On the other side of the birch forest, there was no threat, and Zach and his party were hurrying on foot.
"You smell, is there a fire somewhere?"
Mar's nose fluttered, and he sniffed hard at the faint smell wafting through the air, and he could be sure that something was on fire.
Hearing this, all Revorno stopped and looked behind him.
Thousands of kilometers away, the birch forest flickered with a light that was not in harmony with the darkness around it, and it seemed to be the light of fire.
Eli looked at Zack, "It seems to be in the direction of the aliens." ”
“……”
Zach stared at the firelight, silent.
At this time, Edward secretly observed everyone's expressions, and muttered in a low voice, "Shall we go and see, what if something happens to them?" ”
"Nosy!" Zach gave Edward a blank look and said to the others, "Let's go!" ”
Looking at the back of his companion's resolute departure, Edward sighed helplessly and complained in a low voice, "Actually, they are not very bad! ”
Edward's complaints, Zach heard all the ears, he still treated it as nonsense, looked intently at the road ahead, and quickened the pace of his feet.
——
The fire spread quickly, and when the night wind blew, sparks scattered everywhere, and many places were already surrounded by firelight.
As the temperature rises, some birch trunks are dried and even burned, and the fire in the whole forest has grown to an uncontrollable level.
At this moment, the fire not only dispersed the demons, but also threatened Jue himself, and as far as the eye could see, there were golden flames that were flickering.
Some of the demons who were injured and fell to the ground were engulfed in tongues of fire before they could escape, wailing and rolling on the ground until they turned into a ball of black charcoal, and for a while, all kinds of scorching odors mixed and diffused in the forest, plunging everything into chaos.
Not far away, Stark, the Holy King of the Demon Clan, and the ten Holy Envoys retreated to a safe high ground due to the oncoming fire, looking down at the chaotic scene in the distance.
The fire blocked the direction of the demon guards' attack, and most of the surviving ones retreated to the bottom of the high ground, and under the command of the Great Sage, they cut down a tree in the front row, cleared the accumulated fallen leaves on the ground, and organized a wide safety belt.
A large area of firelight reflected in Stark's cloudy eyes, and the face under the black robe also loomed in the flickering light. His hands, hidden under the black robe, clenched firmly, as if he remembered something.
"Lord Saint King, this is a great opportunity, when they are burned to death, the great revenge will be avenged!"
Beside him, a holy envoy could not hide the excitement in his tone and reported the good news to Stark in advance.
Stark's slight distraction was restored by the words of the Holy Messenger, and he let go of his hands without a trace, and said in a deep voice: "Stupid, the holy weapon is still on them, it is burned, is your life worthy of this crime?" ”
The Holy Envoy bowed his head in fear: "I'm sorry, Lord Saint King! Then, he jumped off the ground and led a group of demon guards to put out the fire.
"What can I do?"
Yuke's broadsword swept away a pile of fallen leaves in front of him, revealing moist soil, and a small part of the fire was brought under control, but the frightening heat dissuaded him from trying to poke out again.
The culprit, Han Qingluo, stood in the middle, looking at the fierce fire around her, and couldn't help frowning, she just meant to make it clear, but she became an arsonist.
The wave of demons that hit him retreated, but he dug a pit in a blink of an eye, not only burying himself, but also affecting his teammates, which is really a strength to deduce pig teammates.
But she was not idle, she even swept away all the fallen leaves, and her deep sense of self-reproach made her ignore the scorching flames and work hard to remedy it, even the hair on her forehead was on fire without knowing it......
"You want to set yourself on fire to apologize, it's too cheap for you!"
At this time, Se Wei, who was constantly consuming blood power to create cold qi, found the reckless Han Qingluo, grabbed her by the back collar, dragged her back, covered the cold qi in his palm, and extinguished the small fire.
The extremely cold breath sprayed on Han Qingluo's forehead, which was really a bit stimulating, and this ice and fire were both heavy and exciting, which made her mind dazed, and she unconsciously let out an exclamation.
Jin, who was fighting the fire on the side, heard Han Qingluo's "scream", and hurriedly turned around to check, but saw that Se Wei was holding Han Qingluo's collar with a hideous face, and his big palm hit her head with murderous aura.
Jin Zhan's blue eyes turned red, and he moved to the two of them, vigorously pushing away Sevi, who was intent on committing murder.
"Sevi, what do you want to do!"
Jin protected Han Qingluo in his arms and angrily scolded Sevi, who had retreated several times.
When the rest of the people heard this, they also came over: "What's wrong?" ”
Jin looked at Sevi angrily and said to Yuke and Rensen, "I saw with my own eyes that he wanted to poison Han Qingluo!" ”
At this time, Sevi had already stabilized his figure, stared at the three demon clan clans who were not kind to him, and denied it righteously: "I didn't!" ”
"Wow, I'll just say that dogs can't change their, it's time for you, you guy still wants to hurt people!"
Yuke has long been tired of seeing Sevi, so at this time, he grabbed the handle, can he take the opportunity to rectify him?
"I said, I didn't!"
Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Sevi's anger rose and his tone became unkind.
As soon as his attitude changed, Yuke was even more convinced that he was a dog jumping off the wall: "Look, I was caught first, and the fox's tail is about to be exposed!" ”
At this time, Lensen, who did not say a word, had already clenched the big knife in his hand.
The contradiction between the three demon clan clans and one secret clan is about to erupt......
