Chapter 09: Attacked Halfway

Xuanguo crossed two passes to the north, is a turbulent river called Yusui River, a rope bridge on the river across hundreds of meters of the river, across the Yusui River is a vast prairie, the Misa tribe lives here by this grassland and the river with abundant water.

Crossing the Yusui River to the northeast is a barren desert, after the desert is the mirage in the world's mouth, rows of high-rise buildings stand on this oasis, this is the settlement of the Jingguo people, the sworn enemy of the Xuanguo. The Yusui River extends northwest to the territory of the Misa country, and the mountain range that is close to the river to the north is neither the territory of the Xuan Kingdom, nor is it included in the territory of the Jing Kingdom.

The Moonlight Key Valley is located in this natural depression, and in order to enter this valley, you need to cross the layers of passes and then cross the Yusui River.

Su Moyan sat on the main hall of the palace and drew a topographic map leading to the Moonlight Key Valley on a piece of white rice paper, saying that it was a topographic map, but in fact it was just a few simple circles and a few arrows, and the circles referred to Xuanguo, Jingguo, and Misa respectively.

Then she used arrows to point out the route into the Valley of the Moonlight Key, and as she traced, she told about the topographical map that only she could understand.

The entrance to the Valley of the Moonlight Key was extremely hidden, and she gushed like a river:

"Don't underestimate these crooked neck trees in the valley mouth, and a few red plums that seem to be out of order, in fact, they may all be the eyes of this array, the medicine master Mu Xiuchen has a magic circle at the entrance, and there are array spirits guarding the formation here, as long as they touch the array eye, the array spirit will never die." Add at the end the phrase "Do you understand?" ”

Xuan Huaiyu took the lead and nodded, and among them, diligent and inquisitive classmates such as Archmage Bai Shuangran actively asked: "Then let's just take this road, why bother to break into this dangerous magic circle." After speaking, he pointed to a dark path next to the valley mouth.

Just like when a teacher gives a lecture in a school, there are always one or two students who claim to be erudite and talented, and have a unique vision to raise some questions that they think are very clever, but in fact ignore the most important premise and common sense.

Su Moyan rolled his eyes and said, "This place is a black swamp, and there are all kinds of poisons hidden in the swamp, so if you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try." ”

“......”

"Of course, even if you pass through this formation, you still can't enter the valley, because there is also a spell enchantment of moonlight tranquility here?"

Su Moyan paused and beckoned, the palace maid Kite immediately put the teacup in her hand in her hand, she took the teacup and drank it all, and for a moment all the eyes in the hall focused on her face, waiting for her to continue.

She gestured, closed her eyes, and listened with her ears pricked up, but it was so quiet that she could hear a silver pin on the ground. She rolled her eyes again and said speechlessly:

"Is there anyone who can break the barrier? Got it? ”

"I can give it a try."

This moonlight tranquility is a high-level spell of the medicine master, only Mu Xiuchen in Xuanguo has learned this spell, the spell needs to be guided by external forces, and when the spell is cast, it is like the fall of the stars in the nine heavens, causing fatal damage to the enemy within a radius of ten miles.

Use this spell to set up an enchantment, and whoever breaks into the enchantment, the higher the spell, the higher the spell, but will be eaten by their own spells, and finally suffer the pain of severe backlash, and the heart pulse will be broken and die. This moonlight tranquility was only heard of in legends, and no one present had ever seen it, even Xuan Huaiyu, the prince of Xuan, had only seen it in an ancient book in the library pavilion, but there was no record of the method of cracking it. There is no other way but to give it a try.

"No, it's too dangerous, Brother Yu, let me go." White frost dye hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, let his subordinates go down, and his subordinates will swear to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince." Ling Yu, His Royal Highness the Prince's personal bodyguard, hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's not like you're going to die right away!"

“......”

On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, it was the auspicious day for the great master of Xuanguo to set off for divination to find the five generals, Su Moyan followed the prince Xuan Huaiyu and they set off to the Moonlight Key Valley to find the whereabouts of the pharmacist Mu Xiuchen.

The two carriages hurriedly drove out of the imperial city, followed by five hundred followers, Archmage Bai Shuangran and Prince Xuan Huaiyu sat in the same carriage, and Bai Jinse and Mu Qingyun rode in a carriage.

Su Moyan wanted to experience the heroic demeanor of riding a high-headed horse, so she rode a white horse and followed the carriage, and after a whole day of bumping on the horse, she was about to vomit, so she lowered her head and fell on the horse's back and beat her legs that were a little numb, but at the moment of bowing her head, a cold arrow flew over her head and stabbed at Xuan Huaiyu and the carriage dyed by white frost.

She was just about to raise her head, when Xuan Huaiyu flew out of the carriage, hugged her waist and flew into the air, and a cold arrow flew under her feet.

"Quick, protect the prince!" The prince's personal guard, Ling Yu, held a long sword to resist hundreds of cold arrows that kept flying, and many of the hundreds of followers fell one after another.

White Frost Stain raised the staff in his hand and saw a raging fire on the black-clothed man hidden behind the rock, and a terrible cry came, and the black-clothed man was burned to charcoal.

The man in black who appeared in mid-air with a sword in his hand disappeared into the air, and in an instant, the big knife in the hand of the man in black came straight to Su Moyan's head, and their target was Su Moyan.

The long sword in Xuan Huaiyu's hand was blocked, the swords collided, the sword light was cold, he held the sword and fought with the man in black for several rounds, the man in black did not love to fight, and after a few rounds, he disappeared in mid-air.

The scene in front of her was chaotic, the man in black was good at stealth, the white robe on Su Morou's body was cut by the sword of the man in black, and several cold arrows attacked, Xuan Huaiyu held her sideways and dodged the cold arrow on the right side, the cold arrow passed by, cutting her right arm, and a bright red cut appeared on her white skin in an instant.

Blood gushed out from the wound, Su Moyan frowned, his eyebrows and eyes were entangled in pain, and in the chaos, he saw that a big tree in front of him was set on fire, and the clothes of the man in black were on fire, and he fell heavily from the branch to the ground.

The silver frost bow in Bai Jinse's hand fired three arrows in unison, shooting through the chest of the man in black, Bai Jinse, who was dressed in red, jumped to the top of the carriage, the horse was frightened, pulled the carriage and galloped all the way, Bai Jinse pulled the bow upward, and the silver arrow in the black-clothed man hiding in the tree rolled to the ground, Bai Jinse jumped to the horse's back, tightened the reins, and the carriage turned around and stopped in place.

A sharp flute sounded out, and the men in black covered their ears when they heard the flute, with a pained look on their faces.

Xuan Huaiyu covered Su Moyan's ears, layers of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, her white little face became red, she suddenly felt a splitting headache, her eyes were dark, and she fainted.

"Brother Yu, she will only drag us down! Without her, we would have been able to find Mu Xiuchen and the other four generals. ”

The white frost saw Su Moyan faint in Xuan Huaiyu's arms, his arms were cut by the sword of the man in black, and the blood stained the robe embroidered with golden auspicious clouds and dragon patterns.

She examined Xuan Huaiyu's wound with a worried face, carefully cleaned up the blood stains on the wound, tore open a corner of her skirt, and carefully bandaged him.

"Don't say it again, only she can take us to find the five generals, she can't be fine." Seeing that his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his expression was displeased, he didn't dare to say more.

Su Morou only felt a splitting headache, as if she was in a dream, surrounded by fog in front of her, removing the layers of fog, it was an altar, the altar was painted with a blooming golden six-petal lotus, the golden lotus was flooded with layers of halo, she stepped on the halo of the golden lotus, the staff of light stood in the heart of the golden lotus, the white and slender fingers covered the staff, and the body was injected with an endless stream of mana.

The mana was like a powerful air current, and like a powerful water current surging in the blood of her body, she was eager to release this majestic mana.

"Ahh Su Moyan opened his eyes, got up, flicked his fingers, and the staff of light burst out with a strong light, and the majestic mana was like a huge wave surging, and the trees within ten miles were broken from it, and dozens of black-clothed people and injured guards covered their chests, spitting blood from their mouths, and fell to the ground one after another.

White Frost Dye was also rushed out of the distance by this powerful mana, and looked at the girl holding the staff of light incredulously.

"You, how could it be?" White frost has been practicing magic since he was a child, and he has been practicing for ten years, and his conceited mana is profound, and he can't release such a powerful mana.

Su Moyan spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell straight backwards, Xuan Huaiyu supported her light body, the blood on her face gradually receded, her pale little face was almost transparent, and a halo of six-petal golden lotus seemed to faintly bloom on her forehead.

The injured man in black hurriedly got up from the ground and disappeared into midair.

A seriously injured man in black struggled to get up and looked at Mu Qingyun, who was dressed in white with a jade flute in front of him.

"Two... The second prince..."

"Don't get out of ...... yet"
