Her face is gentle, like a mother's.

She said, "Do you remember? Yaya. ”

And so—

"Ah......h

In Xia Jing's ears, a soft sigh like a mosquito chirped sounded.

Ye Ya completely lost his strength.

The whole person collapsed in Xia Jing's arms, and closed his eyes-

Ya fell into a coma.

……

"Hey! Cheer yourself up! ”

Xia Jing shouted at Ye Ya with clichéd lines while patting her on the cheek.

But she just didn't react.

Anye was also like a master of the six gods, just staring blankly at Ah Le's face.

Ironically, Xiao Xia Jing, who stayed out of the matter, was the calmest person.

He tried to run his head as fast as he could, analyzing the situation.

The reason for Yasuno's embarrassment. Burst out but she's ...... This sentence.

Then Ye Adam called out his mother in front of Ah Le.

Jian Shuzhi, does this mean that person is not Ah Le, but Ye Ya's mother?

If that's really the case—

Who is behind the Deer Rebellion?

"Autumn groan."

Ah Le—and perhaps Ya's mother—sneered in the flames.

That face looks very similar to Ye Ya if it is cold and age.

"The body isn't quite obedient yet. I'll leave it to you later. ”

"Yes."

Qiu Yin, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be satisfied and nodded his head to show obedience.

Leaving Xia Jing full of questions, Ah Le turned around and left.

Xia Jing could no longer say the word stop. Now is not the time to care about that.

Because the phantom beast returned to Qiu Yin's side.

Xia Jing, what are you going to do now?

Qiu Yin stood up.

"My duty is to kill you all here. But seriously, I hope you guys have a way to get through this. Otherwise, things wouldn't be interesting, would they? ”

As harsh as it sounds, this guy is right.

Xia Jing and the others are now forced into a desperate situation. Before trying to retrieve the sword, it may be best to prioritize how to get out of the house alive.

"How else would it be interesting to you? …… Shall we beat you to the ground on the spot? Or do you have other purposes? ”

Xia Jingqiang played tricks and tried to calm his mood.

Hearing his listening, Qiu Yin began to laugh loudly.

"Wow, you're great."

「…… What the hell are you talking about, idiot."

It seems that she really looks like she has another purpose. For that purpose, the premise is that Xia Jing and the others must leave here alive - no, or is she expecting some good show after Xia Jing and the others leave alive?

That being said, it doesn't necessarily mean that she will let people run away.

“…… Anyway, you mean, if we were defeated by you so easily, all the talk would be, right? ”

"That's right. I'm so glad we know a little bit about it. I will do my best and show no mercy...... After the end, Xia Jing can still be in good condition and without faults. ”

"Stop making a fuss, we're not toys."

Xia Jing refuted and glanced behind him.

"Anye, can Ye Ya trouble you to take care of it?"

continued to hold the unconscious Ye Ya down, and only became the other party's meat.

"Hmm...... I know. ”

Anye walked over and took Ye Ya's body from Xia Jing's arms.

"Are you alright? ...... just now."

"Now is not the time to worry about my body. Right?"

"That's right."

- Come on.

Xia Jing confronted Qiu Yin and the phantom beast.

The other side does not seem to have any intention of initiating an offensive. Of course, that doesn't mean she wants to play a showdown. Tongues of fire continued to burn in the house during this time. She decided that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Xia Jing and the others, so she deliberately slowed down her pace and waited to see what kind of actions they would take.

"Keep dragging on like this, okay? You're going to burn to death."

Sure enough, Qiu Yin said something like this.

So Xia Jing replied with a deliberate smile.

「…… Is that really the case?"

This is not procrastination, but patience.

It would have been nice to have arrived a few minutes earlier, but now I can't afford to be so competitive.

The white blade that suddenly appeared in front of the phantom beast's eyes struck its huge body away with a single blow.

「…… Huh?"

A white shadow then pounced on Autumn Moan, who was looking reflexively towards him.

Although the invisible wall that opened automatically blocked the attack, Qiu Yin's body still couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"Tsk!" The shadow smacked his lips and gave up the deep chase and jumped back in the direction of Xia Jing.

「…… Is it seven paints! Such a tricky treasure was used!"

The shadow that landed in front of Xia Jing's eyes while cursing was Lin Yu.

"Xia Jing, are you okay?"

Lan Yang, who was holding the treasure, then appeared from the room on the right.

"Brother Xia Jing, the current situation is ......"

Lin Yu glanced behind him, and then his eyes widened.

「…… Sister Ya!"

"I'll tell you later. Rest assured, she's not hurt."

An Ye, who was holding Yeya, soothed Lin Yu's uneasiness.

"I just need someone to take care of me."

The two of them didn't seem to notice that the sword had disappeared from Ye Ya's hands, so Xia Jing deliberately didn't mention it. After all, I don't have time to explain more now, and making Lin Yu and the others nervous is just creating unnecessary trouble.

"Yasano-sama, Anai will come and take care of Miss Yaya."

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

"Yes."

Anai took Ye Ya from Mu Yinye's hand, held her waist and gently picked her up.

It doesn't seem to have an impact on her movements.

"Oh, you've finally increased."

Qiu Yin, who had regrouped his situation, continued to shout to Xia Jing and the others.

The phantom beast also took on an attack stance, just waiting for her to give orders.

"You don't think you're going to win with them here, do you?"

"Hmph, what do you say......

You can't go on any longer.

Xia Jing bent down and put the treasure golden branch on the floor.

Make a part of the floor high and raised.

The barrier separating Qiu Yin and Xia Jing and the others came out like a sudden tsunami.

"Go this way!"

When Qiu Yin's vision was obscured, Xia Jing shouted to everyone.

The group turned and ran.

I came to the corridor, but the yard had already turned into a sea of fire. It seems that Qiu Yin is cautious, and even the fire has been planted outside.

In short, I can only run in the direction that has not yet been swallowed by the tongue of fire. Although it happens to be in the same direction as the entrance, it's hard to say whether it's safe over there.

On the way to escape, Lin Yu couldn't help but ask questions.

「…… Brother Xia Jing, what are you going to do!"

Lan Yang also raised his gaze to look at Xia Jing.

"As long as this wind blows, we can escape safely."

She pulled a pitch-black fan out of her pocket.

Xia Jing thought about it.

At this point, it was impossible to regain the sword. Nine times out of ten, the girl in the fox mask had left the house. If this assumption is correct, then it is better to go. Although we had the advantage in numbers, Ye Ya was unconscious, and the house was surrounded by fire.

However, at the invitation of the enemy, he attacked mightily, but not only did the sword fall into the hands of the enemy, but our side also ended up with his tail in the desert and fled, Xia Jing really couldn't swallow this breath. In this way, isn't it equivalent to just being played with by Qiu Yin?

I want to take revenge with one stone.

Of course, if you cause everyone to be in danger because of your own impulsiveness, it is too foolish.

Now that Ye Ya has become like this, it is her turn to be responsible for making decisions-

After more than ten seconds of silence, Xia Jing stopped.

「…… Just once."

This is the conclusion of Xia Jing.

"Just fight back once. Regardless of the outcome, we'll slip away as soon as we counterattack."

"Summer view, but ......"

Autumn Yin, who should have been chasing and killing in the rear, reassured Yasano.

"Well, I guess Akiyin probably expected us to want to escape. I don't think she'll sit idly by and watch us escape...... So, we have to fight back and fight our way out."

That's right, I'm not going to go my own way for meaningless impulses.

Autumn has indicated that she will attack with all her might. As a corollary, she probably won't sit idly by and watch us escape.

So it was necessary to find a way to get her smacked - and at the same time create a chance to escape.

"Have you figured out a way?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Even if you want to fight back, she has a seven-song amulet."

"Where's that weapon of Senior Sister Lanyang?"

Xia Jing glanced at Lan Yang's weapon. But—

"I don't know if I'll be able to get through that transparent wall. I'm not familiar enough with this weapon myself."

"Yes. That's just a scatter of chips."

"What do you mean?"

Yasuno was puzzled.

Xia Jing first squinted behind him, and then held the golden branch hard.

「…… I'm going to crush the phantom beast. Of course, I knew it would be a less probable bet."

Now that we have been robbed of a weapon, we will also consume the enemy's combat power in return for a tooth.

Xia Jing looked around at everyone.

Anye, Lin Yu, Lan Yang, and Anai.

"You only get one chance. In case of failure, no matter how unwilling you are, you have to flee with all your might. Do you all know?"

The group found a spot that had not yet been affected by the fire, so they decided to wait there for Akiyin's arrival.

It seems to have been a warehouse or something. Except for the entrance, there are stucco walls on all sides, and if it weren't for the collapse of most of the wooden doors, the space inside would have been shrouded in darkness.

The space is quite spacious. The ceilings are also high. It should be enough for Lan Yang to swing that big knife.

The conditions are quite ideal.

Try to touch the wall and you can't feel the heat. It seems that the fire has not spread to the next door, and as long as the wall is destroyed, it should be able to escape. Even though it's a warehouse, there's not a single farm tool in it, so it looks like a weapon that can be used - is that a fly in the ointment?

Without further ado, Xia Jing immediately explained the plan to everyone.

Assign their respective tasks by the way. After a succinct explanation, Anno said in a disturbed voice, "The one you said...... Can it succeed?"

"I'm not sure."

Xia Jing confessed.

"So I said it's a bet, right? Moreover...... Even if you fail, you will only lose a hand."

"It's okay for us. The problem is that you ...... summer scene."

"It's nothing compared to your father. Anyway, it can be cured with treasures."

"That's true, but ......."

Lin Yu's brows furrowed.

The first person to say yes was Lan Yang.

"I believe in Xia Jing."

"Really?"

"Even if Xia Jing is unfortunately injured, I will protect you. Definitely."

"I can't help you. Let's give it a try."

Yasuno smiled wryly.

"Anyway, I wish I could show half of my mother's strength."

「…… Alas, how are they all fools with courage and no strategy."

Sighing verbally, Lin Yu also showed a smile that swept away his doubts.

"Let's hurry up and end this unfavorable situation and go home early."

"Then it's settled."

Xia Jing stood up.

That's the code for action, and everyone is getting ready for it.

Xia Jing accepted Anye's magic harp and slashed it over the bow with a golden branch. It doesn't look like it's scarred. But his instincts told him that it was already under control.

"You take it and try it."

Xia Jing handed the bow back to Anye, and she flicked the bowstring as if she was afraid.

The sound didn't sound - it worked.

"I'm so surprised."

Anno praised unabashedly.

"I didn't expect it to be effective on treasures......

"This has increased the success rate."

Whether the dominating effect of the golden branch covers the treasure. That's the first hurdle.

However, the threshold for the next hurdle is higher.

Although when I experimented with other things, a cup and a pen holder, it turned out to be a success......

"Anyway, that's the end of the preparations. Next ......."

The group led by Xia Jing looked at the closed door together.

After counting for a full ten seconds.

"Hey, so you're hiding here."

Through the cracks in the broken warehouse door, Qiu Yin smiled faintly.

Then there was a loud bang.

The door panel was knocked away by the phantom beast, and flew into the warehouse in flames.

"Is the battle meeting over?"

Qiu Yin swaggered in, as if to say, "You're running out of options."

"Hi, Sister Lin Yu. If you are weak, you should be weak."

"Are you ready?"

Xia Jing poses out of the shelf——

"Do it!"

The counterattack began.

The first to take the lead was Lin Yu.

She didn't hesitate to kill Qiu Yin.

"Wow, I don't want to be weak. That's so arrogant."

For a moment, Lin Yu seemed to hesitate, but she immediately gritted her teeth, grinning at Qiu Yin as if she was boosting her morale, and charged forward desperately.

"I ......"

The iron claws of both hands emitted a cold light, lowering the center of gravity of the body.

"It's not a weak ......!"

「…… Phantom Beasts."

The electric spirit beast leaped in front of him.

The white light rushed towards Lin Yu, intending to burn her to ashes.

"Don't succeed."

Whispering, Lan Yang swung his six-foot-long blade and slashed upwards from diagonally below.

It's not that fast. I'm afraid it's not as good as the previous sand.

But that's enough. As long as you can catch up, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow now.

The blade appeared in front of the phantom beast and slashed to the side. Just like the track that Lan Yang swung on, it came from diagonally below.

After the electric shock and the white blade clashed, the phantom beast showed fear.

「…… It's not over yet."

Lan Yang muttered, but made a clear and powerful declaration.

With the residual strength of the sword, he used horizontal slashes, stabs, and slashes one after another.

The phantom beast was defeated by the sharp attack and retreated.

"Lin Yu, it's now."

Lin Yu responded.

"Understood!"

The second assault. Qiu Yin naturally opened the wall of the seven songs.

This time, Qiu Yin put on a defensive posture, but he was still not timid in the face of the impact, Lin Yu's iron claws were bounced back in the opposite direction, and his body leaned back sharply. Lin Yu flipped a somersault along that momentum, and jumped up again.

「…… Uh-huh!"

Use all your strength to attack-that's what Xia Jing explained to Lin Yu. He also said that since she has a protective wall, it is better to break that protective wall and clean her up. Lin Yu did live up to Xia Jing's expectations, flexibly using his petite body to launch an offensive against Qiu Yin with all his might.

That's when a flaw appeared.

Lan Yang switched the target of his attack from the Phantom Beast to Qiu Yin.

With a blank face, she aimed at her enemy, and without saying a word, she raised her knife and slashed diagonally.

The blade appeared in front of Akiyin's eyes, apparently within a distance of the inner side of the barrier.
