Chapter 21: Enemy Attack
"That's your instinct! Adjutant Lee! You have to trust your instincts! A loud voice came.
Li Ling looked up and saw Kurban walking towards the two of them, and his injuries seemed to have recovered.
"Do you also trust your instincts? Kurban! Li Ling shouted excitedly, thinking that no matter what he had with him, Kurban was at least a smart guy. Although the last duel was provoked by Kurban, he won it! The two hideous scars on Kurban's face are proof of this.
Kurban replied loudly: "Intuition is a special way of thinking, but it does not arise out of thin air, but is based on your insight and instinct, based on subconscious thinking. So, believe in it and be guided by it! β
If those two hideous scars, he must have a resolute and confident face at this moment.
"You're right! Kurban! That's enough! Li Ling made up his mind, stood up and ordered Ma Qiang: "Tell everyone, concentrate near the bonfire." Let the guards stay on the perimeter, pack their weapons, and be ready to fight at any time! β
"Yes! Sir! Ma Qiang immediately replied loudly, but then he frowned and said, "But...... Who is the enemy?! If I can't say anything, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry out your orders well! β
"Enemy!?" Li Ling thought of the huge black shadow that flashed overhead, he was sure that it was the flying beast he had seen, but he was not sure if it would be attacked.
Seeing that Li Ling was silent, Kurban shouted at Ma Qiang: "You dare to question the commander's order?!" I'm tired of living! β
Kurban, who is tall and tall, with a hideous scar face, looks even more sturdy and abnormal. One sentence frightened Ma Qiang into two steps back.
"Wait!" Li Ling felt the need to make it clear, so he stretched out his hand to block the rude Kurban, and said to Ma Qiang: "I'm not very sure. But I just noticed some movement in the sky, probably some ferocious flying beasts. The outcome of our discussion now is a cautious approach. So, you know what to say, right? β
Ma Qiang opened his mouth wide, as if he was surprised by Li Ling's statement.
"Yes! Sir! Out of trust in Li Ling, he yelled like a soldier under review.
Li Ling was taken aback, but he was relieved to think that these guards were all elites selected from the army. Although the experience and knowledge of young people are far less than those of the scholars, their passion is unmatched.
"And ......," Kurban also advised, "Send a few men to keep watch around, and if anything unusual happens, come back to me immediately...... Our chief's report! β
Ma Qiang glanced at Li Ling, Li Ling nodded, this is exactly what he was going to say next.
"Yes!" Ma Qiang took the order, although his voice was far less loud than just now, he obviously realized the importance and urgency of this matter, and quickly ran towards the crowd in the distance.
Li Ling let out a sigh of relief, he had already explained it clearly, and he also believed that Ma Qiang would arrange everything. Now, it's time to let the tense nerves relax for a while.
He saw that Kurban was still beside him and did not leave, so he quipped: "Kurban! You're hiding so deeply! β
"What do you mean? Sir! Kurban was a little surprised. He didn't seem to be bothered about the last time he was knocked out by Li Ling.
"Where did you learn that rhetoric? What a subconscious, instinctive! Scared everyone! Honestly, did you go to college? β
"University?!" Kurban was stunned for a while, and then suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't graduate from junior high school." According to the selection criteria of our guardians, if you go to college, you are basically overage! β
"Oh, that's too!" Li Ling nodded, thinking to himself that he was a self-taught guy.
"It's Ni Jia, when that psychology aunt was chatting with others, I listened to a few words, and I am learning and selling now." Kurban seemed to hear Li Ling's heart, explained, and said, "Do you want me to help you call your aunt...... Staff Officer? β
"No need! Another day! Li Ling hurriedly waved his hand. What is needed now is a soldier like you, not a talkative aunt. β
"That's good! I'll go see if that kid Ma Qiang is seriously carrying out the order! He's the captain of the guard, it's really unsettling! Kurban shook his head and ran towards the crowd.
"How does this Kurban feel weird, as if he has changed someone!" Li Ling muttered.
He thought about it for a while, and guessed that it was because after Kurban was injured, Ge Jin asked Ma Qiang to take his place as the captain of the guard, so he was indignant and tried his best to show himself.
"No wonder he has been yelling at Ma Qiang in his own name, it turns out that he is a fox and a fake tiger! This dog said! Li Ling scolded secretly, crying and laughing.
β¦β¦
"I'm sorry, Li Ling!" After everyone walked away from Li Ling, Qin Xiaoyu came to Li Ling's back, wrapping his hands around his waist. "It's me who is too willful to cause you so much trouble! Maybe I'm too weak to watch those sentient animals being brutally killed. β
Li Ling felt Qin Xiaoyu's body trembling slightly. "She's a beautiful and kind girl!" He thought.
Maybe a little willful, but isn't that what distinguishes her from men by being called a woman?
If a beautiful woman has clear grievances, iron bones, and even is mighty and domineering, standing up to the sky. It's hard to imagine how she could marry herself off.
Li Ling turned around, wiped the tears from the corners of Qin Xiaoyu's eyes, felt that she was even more beautiful, and gently kissed her forehead and said, "Fool, how can I blame you?" And your performance today is not weak at all, but brave and kind. How can kindness be wrong? β
"Really!?" Qin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up. "But why do you seem worried? Do you want to make such a big move? In fact, we can catch more of the animals that look like wild boars, dry them into jerky, and collect wild fruits. There is absolutely no need to slaughter in this beautiful place. β
"Yes, everyone is too anxious to collect more supplies." Li Ling explained. "But tonight's action is not because of this, I have seen some weird scenes before, and I have a premonition that something bad is going to happen."
"What can it be? Li Ling! Qin Xiaoyu was puzzled. This is just a temporary place for us to stay, and we will soon leave to cross the Lingjin Mountains and join the precursors......"
"It's not as simple as you think, Xiao Yu!" Li Ling became impatient, his eyes staring directly at the space in the distance, feeling that danger was coming.
"Why? What the hell are you hiding from me? I want to tell you everything, but you're always secretive. Do you think that by taking care of me repeatedly, you can ignore my feelings? Qin Xiaoyu was sad.
Li Ling's head began to buust and sting, as if there were many spikes piercing vigorously, and he couldn't help but roar: "Stop talking nonsense, go away, go back to the crowd!" That's an order! β
Qin Xiaoyu was stunned! It felt like there were a few thunderbolts across the sky on a sunny day, and the sky was about to fall.
She couldn't believe that Li Ling would yell at herself so roughly. For as long as she can remember, whether it is her parents or her majestic grandfather, they have all doted on her and never scolded her. What's more, an outsider!
"Am I wrong? Mistook an excellent man for his beloved. He's not my family after all......"
Qin Xiaoyu's heart was extremely heavy, and he felt that he had completely lost his support in this strange world.
The distant sky lit up, and she looked up in confusion, thinking to herself that the night of Sirte had never been so bright.
"Click!" There was a bang. Qin Xiaoyu suddenly discovered that the thunderbolt on a sunny day was not her illusion, but really appeared!
"Let's go!" Li Ling shouted again. "Back to the crowd!" After that, he didn't care whether Qin Xiaoyu wanted it or not, and anxiously pushed her.
The lightning appeared more and more frequent, thicker and brighter, and seemed to be moving rapidly in the direction of the camp. Everywhere you passed, you could see the dark clouds rolling in the sky completely covering the sky, like a cage imprisoning the earth.
Li Ling looked at the scene in front of him as if he had returned to a dreamβthe dark night sky, the lightning dancing like a silver dragon, and the angry barbarians and the scorched earth......
A gust of wind blew up the dirt on the ground, and Li Ling couldn't help but take a few steps back, but he was still staring at the sky.
Another flash of lightning illuminated the dark clouds rolling around them. A large black shadow appeared beneath the dark clouds in the distance, moving rapidly in the direction of the camp.
"Enemy - Attack ββ!" Li Ling used all his strength and let out a long roar in the direction of the camp. With no spear or bow at hand, he pulled out his dagger from his back.
Qin Xiaoyu was stumbling back, and after hearing Li Ling's howling, she saw the vision in the sky clearly, she was frightened, and her feet were pulled as if they had taken root.
Overwhelming black shadows flew in the direction of the camp. A few flying beasts noticed Li Ling and Qin Xiaoyu in the outer clearing, and swooped down towards the two of them, they obviously possessed excellent night vision.
Li Ling noticed that Qin Xiaoyu was in a daze, shouting as he ran towards her, and at the same time saw that those flying beasts were exactly the kind of appearance they had encountered before, but they were much smaller.
A flying beast flew to the top of Li Ling's head first, and its claws grabbed it fiercely, Li Ling lowered his head to dodge, and continued to run in the direction of Qin Xiaoyu.
It was only at this time that Qin Xiaoyu recovered from his shock and ran quickly in the direction of the camp.
In the dark night, he couldn't see the road under his feet clearly, and Qin Xiaoyu tried his best to raise his steps to prevent himself from tripping. She didn't want to be carried back by Li Ling again because she broke her foot.
Even though the scene in front of her was so tragic - the crowd around the campfire was already in chaos, the black shadows and the screams of the people were frantically stimulating her nerves, but Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to be the one to be taken care of anymore.
Don't want to think again!
