Chapter 287: Catching Up
Chu Xuan told him about the assistance of the dream world, and Baguio was also overjoyed. Now that there is already the assistance of the Dream Realm, there is hope that these Miao people will be successfully taken away. Time was precious, so the two of them simply settled the women and children they brought, and then quickly flew to the place where the team rested.
Back at the place where the team stopped, the Miao people had finished resting and could hit the road again.
Chu Xuan found the wizard Mantu again and explained the current situation to him.
"The trip was closer than we had expected at first, and with a little bit of speed, we should be able to get to safety before dark."
"yes, that's great!" , Mantu is a little delighted.
The mental weariness brought on by the constant hurry, the pain and guilt of being forced to leave behind the people, the panic brought about by the inexplicable danger that is approaching...... Everything was tormenting his heart. Now that he had heard a rare piece of good news, he finally relieved himself a little.
Some hesitated for a while, and then suddenly spoke, "Wizard Chu, look, since we are so close to our destination, can we take those old people who stopped to rest before?" ”
Chu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, but when he saw Mantu's eyes full of pleading, he felt a little unbearable in his heart. He tilted his head, avoiding Mantu's gaze, "You can send someone back to inform them and take them on their way, but I won't stop the line and wait for them." I need to get my current team to safety first, and then I will go back and take them with me if I still have time. ”
"No problem! No problem! Mantu said excitedly. He was already very satisfied with giving those people who had left behind a chance to leave, and he didn't want to drag down the current team because of this.
After saying that, Mantu left happily. He couldn't wait to arrange for his people to go back and inform those who were left behind to catch up.
Then Chu Xuan said to Baguio again, "For the next journey, I need you to fly over in advance with some children." This will speed up the team and be just in case. How, can it be done? ”
"Of course, for my business, you have been busy, and Aunt You's life and death are uncertain until now, it is rare that I need to contribute, so it is naturally incumbent on you!" , Baguio replied without hesitation.
Chu Xuan smiled with relief.
Then, many things were arranged, and the team was on the road again.
……
At the same time that the Miao team was on the road again, Agasang also began to run towards the previous road. He was the messenger who had been sent back by the brute to inform the backward people.
Agesang was a good hunter when he was in the clan, he was used to walking in the mountains and forests, and with several spells to increase his speed that Chu Xuan specially blessed him before leaving, he was almost shuttling like a leopard.
At such a fast speed, the whole team walked for half a day, but it only took Agsang two hours to run most of it.
Agasang estimated the distance and found that he could run the rest of the distance in half an hour. So, he stopped, ready to rest. He sat down with his back against the tree, gasping for breath, pumping his lungs hard to absorb the fresh air. After a few moments, his breath calmed down.
Agasang wiped the sweat from his face, opened the water bladder he was carrying, and took a few sips gently. The thirsty throat was a little stinging, and it was only slightly relieved by the cool cold water. But after only a few sips, Agasang stopped drinking. Later, he will continue on the road, and it is not advisable to drink too much water.
Pursing his lips, Agasang reluctantly covered the water bladder. I stood up and moved my body a little, and then I started to continue on my road.
After running for half an hour, suddenly a whistling sounded in the sky. Agosang looked up, but a purple light flew through the sky.
"Huh? Isn't this a spell unique to the wizards of Middle-earth? Agesang had seen Chu Xuan and others rush away with the light before, so he naturally knew the light of the cultivator's unique magic weapon.
He was a little puzzled, "Could it be the Middle-earth woman wizard who left before?" ”
Agsang thought that this was Yuhime's escape, so he didn't pay attention to it, and he continued to run forward.
After running for a while, the camp where the remaining clansmen stayed was already in sight. Agsang was overjoyed, and quickly quickened his speed and ran forward.
When the general saw the camp, Agsang's face changed.
Endless beasts surrounded the camp as if they were hunting, eyeing the people in the camp. Above the sky, there is a huge bone demon flying.
"How so?!" , Agsang's face suddenly turned pale.
……
Inside the camp, a group of old and weak people formed a weak circle. Although these old and weak people trembled with fear, they still firmly held rudimentary weapons in their hands to confront the fierce beasts outside. They also know that they are just a dish for these fierce beasts, but they still hope to fight for a glimmer of life for the people in the circle.
In the human circle, a man and a woman sit cross-legged to pranayama, it is Qinglong and Youji.
"These beasts are here again." , Qinglong said bitterly, with a thick exhaustion on his face.
"Damn! These damn beasts, and the damn golden bottle! We've escaped the danger, but we've been lured by the damn golden bottle to bring these beasts again! Yuhime said hatefully.
"Ugh." Qinglong sighed softly, "You're wrong, in fact, we never escaped, but that monster deliberately let us go." ”
"He's like a cat playing with mice, playing with us, watching us struggle, watching us resist. Give us a little bit of an illusory sense of security, give us hope of escape, and then press us deeper into despair. What's even more tragic is that in order to survive, we have to go according to his ideas. ”
Qinglong's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of despair in his expression.
Yuhime's face was also pale.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fear rising in her heart, and asked, "What do we do now?" Baguio she led the team in front, and we can't lure the beast to her. ”
Qinglong smiled miserably.
"yes, I can't run away anymore."
He closed his eyes suddenly, "When that monster catches up again, let's separate and flee." To choose a different direction from Baguio, at least to lure that monster away......"
"Now, let's hurry up and breathe and try to regain as much strength as possible."
Yuhime was silent.
But for a moment.
The beasts outside the camp suddenly became agitated. Then, the crowded herd of beasts slowly parted paths. The bone demon flying in the sky also fell respectfully to the ground.
Qinglong and Youji's faces changed.
"He's coming!"
