Chapter 286: Stratagem
There was nothing to do all night, and it was safe until dawn.
Chu Xuan opened his eyes, and a trace of melancholy flashed on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Yuhime hasn't returned yet, it seems that my guess is correct, we do have some problems behind us, and there are big problems."
"I don't know how Aunt You is now, is she still safe?" , Baguio said with some concern.
"Don't worry, she should still be safe now." , Chu Xuan comforted, "Youji Dao is profound, even if you encounter any powerful enemies and are invincible, you should be able to escape." And before leaving, I cast a spell on her. If she falls, I'll feel it. I didn't feel the spell trigger until now, and she should still be safe. I'm just afraid that there will be some trouble, and I won't be able to come back for the time being. ”
"Really?"
"Yes, trust me."
Chu Xuan's face was straight, which made Baguio breathe a sigh of relief.
However, in fact, Chu Xuan didn't know the kind of spell that could sense other people's lives, and naturally he didn't cast spells for Youji. So, he lied.
In order to calm Baguio's mind, he had to lie.
"So what do we do now? As you said, we still have two days to go. Baguio asked with a solemn expression.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Xuan made a decision, "You go and invite the Barbarian Wizard, I have something to say to him." ”
Baguio hesitated for a moment, but still got up and went to invite Mantu to come.
Chu Xuan looked at the burning embers of the fire, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.
But in a moment, Baguio invited Mantu to come.
"Wizard Chu, is there something you are looking for me?" , Mantu said in a Middle-earth dialect that he was not very proficient in.
Chu Xuan's face showed a hint of worry, and he said in a heavy tone, "Barbarian Wizard, I invite you here because I need to talk to you about something. ”
Seeing this, Mantu felt a sigh in his heart, and he forced a smile and said, "Wizard Chu, if there is anything, just say it directly." You are anxious and anxious about the affairs of our people, and we believe in you. ”
Chu Xuan nodded and said slowly, "Last night, I asked a companion to go back to the past to investigate one or two, but she still hasn't returned. According to the agreement we agreed in advance, she was afraid that she was in big trouble. So, I guess there's some danger behind us......"
Mantu's face turned pale, and cold sweat flowed down. He looked at the number of people and understood that it was Youji who had left, and knew that it was a person with great magical powers and profound mana, but even such a great monk couldn't get out, so he could imagine what kind of danger was behind them.
"Wizard Chu, how long do you think it will take for the danger behind to catch up?" , he asked, a little flustered.
Chu Xuan sighed lightly, "There is no news from my companion, so I don't know the specific situation. But this is undoubtedly the most dangerous scenario, and it will take our team two days to reach safety. ”
Mantu's face was ashen. After a moment, he said with difficulty, "The two wizards have already made their minds? ”
Chu Xuan shook his head, "That's not the case, it's a matter of being entrusted by others." I have no intention of leaving you behind. I invite you to come here to discuss a solution with you. ”
When Mantu heard this, his spirits suddenly perked up, and his face was a little more happy.
"If Wizard Chu has any ideas, please feel free to give me orders."
Chu Xuan glanced at him and said slowly, "The situation is urgent, I plan to let some people with weak physical strength and impaired mobility stay in a hidden place to rest for the time being, and then use all their strength to encourage the blessing of spells, so that the rest of the people can reach a safe place as soon as possible, and finally come back to pick up these people." ”
When Mantu heard this idea, his face immediately became extremely ugly. Why didn't he know what it meant? If there is nothing to do, everything will be fine, but if there is danger, these people who stay must be abandoned pawns!
His heart fluctuated for a moment, and the look on his face struggled.
Chu Xuan didn't urge, and quietly waited for Mantu's decision.
But after a while, Mantu finally made a decision.
It is the old people who are left, and the women and children who are leaving, do you need to say more? In the face of crisis, the continuation of the ethnic group is the most important! All the sacrifices were worth it.
"It's according to the idea of the Chu wizard!"
As he spoke, he closed his eyes in pain.
"Good!" , Chu Xuan said expressionlessly.
Time is urgent, and since a decision has been made, Mantu will no longer waste time. He returned to the ranks of the Hmong and announced the news to them. The Miao people were in an uproar, but after only a moment, they slowly quieted down again. There was a faint suppressed cry of a woman in the team, but she was scolded by the old man. After another moment, there was no sound in the procession.
Immediately after, the silent Miao people began to divide into formations. The old people came together consciously, and there were about forty or fifty people. They took nothing but food and water for a few days.
Looking at this scene, Chu Xuan and Baguio were unconsciously silent.
After the team separated, there was no further delay, and everyone hurried to the road. Without the procrastination of the old men, and the blessing spell of Chu Xuan regardless of consumption, the speed of the team was much faster. However, it has only been half a day, but it has already traveled most of the distance.
It wasn't until noon that the procession began to stop to rest, eat and drink.
Chu Xuan was not happy with such a speed, but was quite worried. He found the brute again.
"It's still too slow. The sense of crisis in my heart is growing, and if we continue to walk at this pace, we will definitely be overtaken. ”
"So what? There's no way to divide the team this time! Mantu's face was ugly and authentic.
"Nope! I can divide it again! ”
Chu Xuan's eyes burned as he looked at the mantu.
"The rest of the road is not long, and the speed back and forth between me and Baguio is very fast. I plan to fly with Baguio and some women and children to a safe place first, and after dropping them down, we will come back, and then fly over with another group of women and children. ”
"The rest of the team can move on. In this way, minus some of the children who were slowing down the line, the speed of progress was much faster than it is now. ”
Mantu's body trembled, but in the end he gritted his teeth.
"Good!"
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, without further ado, then let's go now!" ”
So, the Miao people all stopped to rest and replenish their water, while Chu Xuan and Baguio flew towards a safe place with some people. Because of the problem of carrying the magic weapon, Chu Xuan and Baguio only brought four or five people each, except for a woman who took care of the child, the others were children.
The two flew for about an hour, but still did not reach their destination.
Baguio frowned, "Little Taoist, haven't you arrived yet?" ”
"It's not far ahead, just fly a little longer." , Chu Xuan replied calmly.
After a few more moments, the two of them flew across a large river, and then a small village appeared in front of them.
Chu Xuan's face showed a little joy, "We're here!" ”
"This is it?" , Baguio looked at the small village at his feet, a little suspicious. This is an extremely ordinary small village, at a glance, it is inhabited by mortals, where does it look like a safe place to block the danger in the rear?
Chu Xuan smiled confidently, "This is already Middle-earth. This is the place where the laws of the dream path radiate, the shelter of the dream world projection. Standing here, we have a whole dream world to support us! ”
As he spoke, Chu Xuan retreated part of his mind into the dream realm.
After entering the dream world, Chu Xuan did not waste time, and directly asked the three goddesses of the dream world for help. After Chu Xuan told about the current situation, the goddesses gave him a reply.
"We can mobilize most of the power of the dream world to weave a dream fairy boat, and then project the fairy boat into the present world. With this immortal boat, you can quickly transport the Miao people here away. It's just that this immortal boat can't get rid of the radiation of the law of the dream path, so there is no way to go to the south to attract the Miao people. ”
Chu Xuan had expected this, but he was still slightly disappointed. But after only a moment of regret, he cut off the shadow in his heart. Time is precious, how can there be effort worthy of him to lament.
After a while, Chu Xuan returned from the Dream Realm and said happily, "Okay, the three goddesses of the Dream Realm have promised to help us." ”
