Chapter 65: The Night Attack of the Heavenly Mountains
Flickering bonfires, silent darkness. The cold wind wreaks havoc on the only light in front of you. A strong wind blew in the depths of the rustling woods, and a large beast leaped up from the bushes. Lore stared coldly at the silence of the depths of the woods, and the hand holding the sword at his side was calm and persistent, like a beast that could torture its prey at any time.
The shadow hides in a large tree not far away, closing his eyes and listening to the movements around him. The thrush lies on her side with her back to the fire, as if asleep.
Ethan tossed the branches of the tree that were about to burn out in the campfire, and threw the rotting wood beside him into the fire. He didn't know if the trip would go well. He had read an essay about the 'Valley of Death', and after hearing that he was going to enter the 'Valley of Death', he knew that the trip was extremely dangerous, and the twenty elite warriors were assigned by him to gallop along the main road to the Heavenly Mountains, so as to give up those unnecessary sacrifices. Xi Ning's character is very clear to him, he will not change his decision because of the danger that has not yet been proven, and she will make any sacrifices in order to save Miao Ren. If the injured person was herself, she would have sacrificed so much for herself.
Looking at the shadows of the trees dancing in the firelight, he made up his mind that no matter what the road ahead, his mission was to protect Xi Ning from harm. If he really wanted to urge the seal, he would do it. It's just that I'm sorry for my mother, once the seal is lifted, the danger that comes will bring ruin to the people around me, if that's the case, then I can only leave, leave Ning'er and go away.
"Sen'er, the matter of the seal must not be mentioned to anyone, including your future wife. Your abilities will bring ruin to those around you, you have to remember! Thinking of his mother's repeated words before he died, Ethan still had palpitations, for the sake of Xi Ning, he had almost forgotten about the seal over the years.
A faint melancholy lingered between Ethan's eyebrows, and his eyes looked at Xi Ning, who was meditating, gently.
Xi Ning sat on her knees, her eyes and nose and her heart, all her thoughts were empty, and her divine sense slowly shot towards the outer edge, and the breath of all creatures within a radius of ten zhang was under her supervision.
No one knew what would happen this night, only some predators at night under Xi Ning's detection, and some black granular microorganisms inhabited the damp decaying wood, she felt that this kind of microbes were particularly destructive, and the decaying wood that had been invaded by the black microorganisms shattered into slag after a few 'crackling' sounds.
The black, granular microorganisms quickly gathered and flew into the woods in a clump, suddenly forming a circle, suddenly forming a line, converging with other members of the same kind not far away, coming to the side of a dead skunk, quickly covering it, and in the blink of an eye, the skunk's corpse was left with a blackened head.
Xi Ning was secretly frightened, these microorganisms are the things that attack the horses, and they are so destructive. She searched carefully, and found that these little black things were clustered all over the woods, and there was only one place where they were not visible, that is, in the middle of the fire, could it be that these things were afraid of fire?
At this time, there was a strange appearance in the southeast direction, as if someone had invaded. About a dozen people came, silently jumping on the branches. If it weren't for Xi Ning's already figuring out the aura around him, it would have been difficult to discover the aura of these people. Although I can't see my outfit, I can't tell where I came from, and I don't know if I'm coming for myself or others, but I still have to be prepared.
"Lore, someone is coming, there are about dozens of people, all of them are top masters, get ready, notify the shadow to strengthen vigilance."
Xi Ning suddenly opened his eyes and said to the lore of Ning Shen.
Lore quickly got up, flew to the shadow and whispered a few times, the two nodded to each other, and quickly separated in meteors, flying in both directions.
Ethan opened his eyes half-asleep and looked at Xi Ning.
"Yi'er, you have to follow me later, and you must not leave half a step. Got it?" Xi Ning took off the fur cloak on his body and draped it on Ethan's shoulders, and his tone was solemn to make Ethan nervous. He was nervous that Xi Ning would be distracted from taking care of himself in the battle and was injured, he never looked at life and death, and only Xi Ning cared about the most.
I always thought that the lore move was clean and ruthless, but I didn't expect the shadow to be even worse. The shadow is a slender man, but his movements are agile, and his moves are as fast as thunder and lightning. He was like a ferocious descending tiger in the jungle, ending the lives of three people in the blink of an eye.
The cultivators who came were not weak, but against the opponents whose shadows were like phantoms, they were killed before they could make a move. Perhaps they have a better chance of winning alone in the daytime.
At this time, in Xi Ning's view, the shadow is just like a fish that has got water, and it is like its own territory in the jungle.
"Yi'er, the person you picked out is really not simple!"
"Is Ning'er talking about shadows? He is like a shadow, and such an opponent is undoubtedly the most difficult for an enemy. He named himself 'Shadow' at the place of his debut, and this is the meaning. ”
Ethan couldn't see the battlefield, but he could guess the general situation. The lore was with Xi Ning who had been to Mobei, so Xi Ning must be familiar with the lore move. Only the shadow's skills are something that Xi Ning has never seen.
"Hmmm! It's really as difficult as a shadow, and before you know it, you've been locked in by him, which is the deadliest against the enemy. ”
Xi Ning said slowly: "The lore is not weak, fast enough, ruthless enough, and accurate enough, but she is not bad at the enemy." Looking at the figure, it is also experienced in a hundred battles...... Not good! ”
Xi Ning hurriedly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the lore. In the direction of the lore, there were many black microorganisms waiting for an opportunity, which was exactly what Xi Ning was vigilant to avoid. She glanced at the sleeping thrush, and at Ethan, who looked worried, and finally resisted the intention of going to the rescue.
At this moment, only Ethan is the one she needs to protect.
However, when he shot out of his divine sense to watch the battle again, the lore was in the realm of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and Xi Ning could no longer wait and see what happened. Even if it wasn't for the three people in front of her to kill her in seconds, there were black species that were quickly rolling behind her.
Xi Ning hurriedly shot out and lit the thrush's sleeping hole. It's like an arrow from the mystery rushing to the battlefield of lore. Appeared on the battlefield in an instant, and disappeared in front of the enemy before he could see clearly, and at the same time disappeared the prey that had been hunted.
Lore knew that Xi Ning's speed was fast, but he didn't know that it was so fast, and he shifted his position almost in the blink of an eye.
Xi Ning, who appeared next to Ethan again, came to Ethan's side in a few steps and said, "I'm sorry Yi'er, I left you just now and frightened you." ”
Ethan was really frightened, and was surprised by the speed at which Xi Ning came and went. It's so fast! Because I don't worry about leaving myself here, that's why I'm so anxious!
"Ning'er, I'm not so easy to deal with, I've traveled in the deception over the years, and I also have a little ability to protect myself, next time you don't have to worry so much, I'm afraid it will hurt your body, you know?"
The thrush listened to their affection with her eyes open and resentful, pretending to be unsolved, and did not dare to move.
