Chapter 21: Escape

"Why did the speed suddenly become so fast?Is it really a hidden strength?" Xia Lei had been intently feeling Jiang Hua's traces, and found that the movements of the three of them suddenly accelerated, and his heart moved.

"It's a light talisman! a bunch of idiots!" Xia Lei scolded secretly and began to speed up.

The dark jungle was to Xia Lei as much as daytime, and the monk's perception was able to quickly locate nearby terrain and objects. Xia Lei narrowed the distance between himself and Jiang Hua in a few dodges, and was about to catch up and stop the three of them, when suddenly his heart tightened, and a sense of danger struck, and there was something or something in front of him that could threaten him. The higher the monk's cultivation, the keener his perception of danger became, Xia Lei's footsteps stopped suddenly, and he used all his body vitality, and white flames instantly filled his palms.

Jiang Hua, who was walking quickly, was startled by a black shadow that flashed around him, and hurriedly pulled Mu Qingyun to hide behind a tree on the side. Immediately after, the sound of squirming objects scraping against the ground quickly passed by itself, and disappeared into a loud shout behind him.

"Han Feng, arrest someone. A loud shout resounded through the forest. Before Jiang Hua could react, several figures had already surrounded them. He Ming stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Hua by the collar and threw him to the ground.

"If you want to run, hehe, you don't weigh your own ability, if you want to kill our senior brother, I'll kill you. He Ming said that he was about to step forward to clean up Jiang Hua, but Han Feng stopped him and asked him to be optimistic about Jiang Hua first, and wait for the Xia Hall Master to arrive. Han Feng and the three of them surrounded Mu Qingyun's mother and daughter, He Ming tore off Jiang Hua's light talisman, kicked Jiang Hua with his foot, and a group of people rushed to meet Xia Lei.

Xia Lei hadn't been so nervous since he had broken through to the high level of the Qi Acceptance Realm. He hunched over as if he were facing a great enemy, the flames in his palms were at their fullest, and his eyes stared at the front without letting go. Directly in front of Xia Lei, a snake-like creature about three meters long with the thickness of a bucket standing high, and with Xia Lei's eyesight, he could clearly see a cold and bloodthirsty light flashing in the dark green eyes like a big snake's fist. Neither side of the confrontation acted rashly, and the white flame in Xia Lei's palm also made the big snake feel threatened, and it kept spitting out letters, and its body slowly twisted, as if looking for an opportunity to attack.

Han Feng and the others were all stunned by the scene in front of them, and then reacted immediately, and quickly gathered behind Xia Lei with Jiang Hua and the others. The big snake turned a blind eye to the appearance of other people, perhaps in his eyes, Han Feng and the others were just insignificant and weak creatures, and they could not threaten him in the slightest. Clusters of firelight appeared behind Xia Lei, Han Feng and the four of them all stimulated the Flame Devouring Skill, Xia Lei's nervous performance fell in the eyes of the four people, even if they couldn't perceive it, they instantly understood that this big snake was at least a middle-level and high-level existence in the Qi Realm, this was a spirit beast. The spirit beast at the same level is much stronger than the monk, Xia Lei is at least a high-level cultivator in the Naqi Realm, and if this snake can threaten him, it must be a mid-level or even higher level of the Naqi Realm. The blazing flames made Han Feng and the others slightly more confident, and the light of the flames also made Jiang Hua see the scene in front of him clearly.

gasped, Jiang Hua smiled bitterly, he really hadn't come out of the tiger circle yet, and he encountered the wolf's mouth again. The size of the big snake in front of him made Jiang Huasheng, who didn't know Xia Lei's strength, not have a glimmer of hope. Jiang Hua was most afraid of snakes, the slippery scales and soft and boneless body made him feel chills every time he thought about it, but when the size of the snake reached a certain level, Jiang Hua was not so afraid. So when he saw the big snake in front of him, Jiang Hua's first reaction was not fear, but he was worried that Xia Lei would not be able to stop it, at least Xia Lei would not directly ask for his own life, but if he fell into the mouth of the big snake, his body was not enough for him. What Jiang Hua hopes most at the moment is that Xia Lei and the big snake can fight and lose both, and he can take the opportunity to escape.

The idea is beautiful, the reality is cruel. The flames made the big snake start to be restless, it suddenly launched an attack, its huge head was lowered, and its body rushed to Xia Lei with a few twists, and its open blood basin mouth bit Xia Lei with a strong fishy smell. Xia Lei took two steps back, raised his hand and slapped the snake's head, and the pure white blazing flames forced the big snake to twist its head forcibly, swept it away, and its tail pumped towards Xia Lei like lightning. Xia Lei jumped into the air, spit out his palm, and a ball of flame floated out of his hand and floated towards the big snake, which rolled twice on the spot to dodge. The white flames dissipated with a pop half a meter from the snake's body.

"It's just a little bit, and sure enough, I have just entered the high level of the Qi Acceptance Realm, and the realm is unstable, and I can't manipulate the flames out of my body like an arm command. Xia Lei saw that he didn't hurt the big snake, and he thought to himself with regret. The high-level cultivation of the Naqi Realm can stimulate the Flame Devouring Gong, so that the flames can be separated from the body and hurt the enemy, and the basic cultivation techniques handed down in the valley are the most common goods, and they can only be cultivated to the high level of the Naqi Realm, Xia Lei also got a thousand-year-old spirit grass by chance not long ago, and successfully advanced to the high-level after absorbing the essence, otherwise he would have to cultivate for at least twenty years with his qualifications.

Xia Lei had the heart to try again, and he sent out a ball of flames, and the big snake hurriedly avoided further, and the flames still disappeared at the same distance. The big snake found that Xia Lei's flames couldn't hit it, and writhed closer, but due to the power of the flames, it did not enter the attack range, but its body contracted for a while, and a black mist with a thick fishy smell erupted from its mouth, instantly enveloping everyone.

"Hold your breath!" Xia Lei exhaled, his palms drew a circle in front of him and pushed out violently, and a stream of air blew away the black mist with Xia Lei's palms. But everyone still felt that their spirits were starting to be in a trance, Mu Qingyun and Ji Bu had fallen to the ground in a coma, Jiang Hua only supported it for a moment before fainting, and Han Feng and the four of them ran the exercises, but they quickly improved.

Xia Lei also inhaled a trace of black mist, but he was fine. "Bring your palms together in front of your chest, and the flames will dispel the poison. After Xia Lei explained everyone's defense methods, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a homemade antidote pill into his mouth, and rushed towards the big snake.

One person and one snake began to fight, one palm with flames, the other mouth sprayed poisonous mist, and for a while, no one could help anyone, and they didn't dare to get too close to each other.

The four of Han Feng also obediently gathered their palms in front of their chests, and used enough exercises to resist the poisonous mist that came from the drift, and no one noticed that a petite figure was quietly approaching Jiang Hua who was lying on the ground.

Jiang Hua was choked by a somewhat familiar smell, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a clump of red fluff and a short tail, and the crimson fluff still had an unknown liquid remaining on it, and his face was also wet. Jiang Hua struggled to raise his head, and only then did he see a crimson animal standing on his body, holding his ass to his face.

"It's it!" Jiang Hua instantly recognized this animal, wasn't it the "red rabbit" who had played with Jiang Hua. Seeing that Jiang Hua was awake, "Red Rabbit" looked down at his crotch, and seemed to grin at Jiang Hua with some pride. Jiang Hua understood that he was woken up by the urine of the "Red Rabbit", and before Jiang Hua could get angry, the scene in front of him stunned him again. Seeing a few ups and downs of the "Red Rabbit", Han Feng and the four of them fell to the ground one after another. "Red Rabbit" quickly jumped back to Jiang Hua's side, biting Jiang Hua's placket and pulling the belt, as if signaling Jiang Hua to leave with him.

"It's you little brute again!" Xia Lei, who was fighting with the big snake, accidentally saw the scene here, and immediately became furious. "Red Rabbit" is the same thing that bites him outside the village. He didn't lie to Jiang Hua about this, he thought that he was visiting the village in the name of a merchant, but he was bitten by the "Red Rabbit" and fell into a coma under the carelessness of the businessman, but he got an unexpected joy. Xia Lei understood that if he hadn't been rescued, he wouldn't have been able to find out the news of Mu Qingyun, so he wasn't angry when he saw "Red Rabbit" at first glance, but Han Feng's four people fell to the ground one after another, but Xia Lei was annoyed, and Mu Qingyun couldn't afford to lose.

Jiang Hua didn't care if he was urinating on his face, the situation in front of him was very favorable to him, he could run away immediately, Xia Lei was entangled by a big snake, he shouldn't take care of himself, and Han Feng and the four of them couldn't stop him, but, what about Mu Qingyun and Jibu?

Jiang Hua looked at "Red Rabbit", then at Mu Qingyun and Ji Bu, who were still unconscious, and finally his eyes fell on the crotch of "Red Rabbit". As if knowing what Jiang Hua was thinking, "Chitu" shook his head vigorously, but just pulled Jiang Hua's clothes with his mouth. Jiang Hua was unmoved, staring at "Chitu" with begging eyes, he knew that "Chitu" understood what he meant. "Red Rabbit" did understand Jiang Hua's expression, it let go of its mouth a little helplessly, jumped on Mu Qingyun's chest in a few steps, sprinkled Ganlin with some hesitation, and gave Ji Bu a few drops in the same way.

Mu Qingyun and Jibu woke up one after another, and the fear brought by the big snake to the two of them disappeared a lot in a moment of dizziness. Jiang Hua saw that the two of them had woken up, so he hurriedly got up and rushed over, picked up Jibra and Mu Qingyun, "Red Rabbit" was already waiting at the edge of the forest, and Jiang Hua and the three of them followed "Red Rabbit" and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Xia Lei found that Jiang Hua had fled with Mu Qingyun, and he was immediately angry. The master made a move, and he couldn't tolerate half-heartedness, and the big snake noticed Xia Lei's absent-mindedness, and his offensive was a little stronger. Xia Lei, who wanted to get rid of the big snake and chase Jiang Hua, had to raise his spirit to deal with the attack of the big snake.

Without the light talisman, Jiang Hua and the three of them couldn't escape faster, and the "Red Rabbit" who was leading the way in front could only slow down their speed and keep waiting for Jiang Hua. The more anxious they are, the more mistakes they make, the dark night has become the biggest obstacle for several people, Jiang Hua is too anxious, Mu Qingyun didn't keep up with Jiang Hua's movements when he crossed a raised rock and twisted his foot. With a slightly painful cry, Jiang Hua reluctantly stopped galloping.

"Leave us alone, you can escape by yourself!" Mu Qingyun endured the sharp pain in his ankle, and his tone was resolute.

"Then what's the matter, I ran away alone, what should you do with Jibu?" Jiang Hua resolutely rejected Mu Qingyun's proposal.

"You are a smart man, only you can escape safely in the current situation, their main purpose is me, they will not spend a lot of effort to chase you, and Jib and I will not be in danger for the time being. ”

"But ......" Although Jiang Hua knew in his heart that Mu Qingyun's words were right, and it was already the best result for him to escape smoothly alone, how could he bear to throw Mu Qingyun's mother and daughter behind.

"Do me something, if you can escape to Aoki City alive. Mu Qingyun's expression was a little gloomy.

"You say, Sister Mu, no matter what, I will do my best. Jiang Hua wanted to persuade again, but found that Mu Qingyun was determined not to leave, and combined with the current situation, he could only give up, but he had to agree to Mu Qingyun's request no matter what.

Mu Qingyun untied a bamboo plaque from his waist and solemnly placed it in Jiang Hua's palm, "Brother Jiang, help me keep it, what if...... I mean, if you're going to see Blana again, give him this thing. If you don't see ...... Then it's up to you to do with it, and you can throw it away. ”

"Sister Mu, this ......" Jiang Hua held the bamboo card in his hand and looked at it, it was an ordinary piece of bamboo wearing a silk rope, and he was a little puzzled.

"This is the ancestral treasure of the Mu family, and that bead is just a lie to them. ”

Jiang Hua couldn't hide his surprise, looking at the ordinary bamboo pieces in front of him, and then thinking of the beads that Mu Qingyun took out that could shine, he was a little incredulous.

As if knowing that Jiang Hua would be puzzled, Mu Qingyun continued, "That bead is just a prop handed down by my ancestors for the Mu family's bloodline strength test, I am the highest bloodline strength in these generations, so the bead was passed on to me." The real Mu family is inherited on this piece of bamboo, but no one else can activate it except for the people of the Mu family. When you get to Aoki Castle, you're ...... like this."

Jiang Hua thought about it for a while, and then understood the meaning of Mu Qingyun's words, carefully put away the bamboo chips, and in Jibu's reluctant expression, he followed the impatient "Red Rabbit" and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
