Chapter 95: Planning
After chasing for nearly two days, they could still drive at first, but the further back they went, the farther away from the road they chose, they had to abandon the car and start hiking.
It was at this time that the speed of Tao Wu's progress began to slow down.
This is judged by the inudemon brothers based on the concentration of the smell in the air, and it is said that they can judge the time of the other party's stay in this place very accurately, and the error is only fifteen minutes.
Sun Yang didn't know if he had deliberately slowed down so that they could catch up, or if he was starting to get tired from using the Escape Technique continuously. But later, not only Bai Qi and the others began to show fatigue, but even Long Qingting was a little sleepy.
"He should be waiting for us right in front." Bai Qi said to Long Qingting.
The other party deliberately kept a distance from them according to the speed they tracked, and such signs became more and more obvious, which made Bai Qi and the others gradually put away their contempt for Tao Wu.
It's one thing to be able to escape from Long Qingting's hands by luck, and after causing them a lot of trouble, they can calmly escape, and then have the spare energy to keep an eye on the location of the tracker behind them along the way, adjusting the direction and speed of their actions anytime and anywhere, which is terrifying.
Although they still believed that Long Qingting had few opponents in Great Xia, it was obvious that this Tao Wu of unknown origin was one of them.
Long Qingting's attitude gradually began to become cautious.
When they were approaching the area of the An Giang Reservoir, he even stopped and found a place for everyone to sleep.
"The Dragon King?" Bai Qi was a little puzzled.
"He's obviously spotted us and led us by the nose, so why follow his pace?" Long Qingting said. "Don't worry, I'll go to him when I've rested enough."
Lu Xiaoling's fatigue is the most obvious. After her body was occupied by Qiu Niang at night, she was easily sleepy. This may be the sequelae of the body being occupied by two souls and not being able to rest effectively for a long time.
But Sun Yang offered to let her go back to Jianghai several times to wait for the results, but she was always unwilling.
"Such a scoundrel, I want to see his demise with my own eyes!" She said to Sun Yang.
The fate of the couple who were cursed by Tao Wu and then suffered a series of terrible fates had always been a pain in her heart, not to mention what Tao Wu had done before fleeing.
"I can help!" She said to Sun Yang. "Even if I can't, as long as the time is right, Qiu Niang should be able to help."
Sun Yang never knew how strong Bai Qi's true strength was, and she seemed to have always existed as Long Qingting's assistant, handling trivial matters that required a lot of time and energy for him. But she was able to stay by Long Qingting's side all the time, and Sun Yang believed that her strength would not be very weak, but it should not be very strong.
The man named Lou Fan who was good at formation and the five-headed dog demon were obviously not as good as Sun Yang's ability, and the meaning of their existence was more as a support for Long Qingting, looking for the location of Tao Wu and his possible accomplices, and setting up a formation to prevent him from escaping again.
From this point of view, Qiu Niang's combat power can even rank second among these people, and Sun Yang may have to rank behind Bai Qi when he is not using the genuine service ghost talisman.
"Your mission is to protect Lou Fan." Long Qingting said to Sun Yang. "I won't let the five brothers of the family go to a place very close to Tao Wu, only on the periphery, but Lou Fan must help me trap Tao Wu in that place."
Sun Yang nodded.
On the way here, they have been analyzing how strong Tao Wu really is.
But it's really hard to make an accurate judgment.
He's obviously a youkai who is good at wind spells, or a kind of wood-based monster himself, and in general, such a monster will be very good at thunder. This is arguably the most powerful offensive spell in the traditional Dao arts.
The spell that Sun Yang has never been able to forget about Lu Lou and Heihezi's monster dying together is the Five Thunder Righteous Method.
The power that devoured everything made him tremble to this day.
However, Tao Wu showed no signs of being able to use the thunder method.
In the process of entanglement with Long Qingting, he has always used a defensive spell similar to the wind shield technique to defuse Long Qingting's inevitable attacks again and again. And when he fled, he obviously used a very advanced wind escape technique.
"I think he should be a monster like Lou Fan, who is good at magic circles, curses, and wind spells." Bai Qi judged. "If he has the ability to fight back, there's no reason why he shouldn't use it at all."
"Maybe he's deliberately showing weakness?" Sun Yang asked.
"It's possible." Bai Qi nodded. "But it's too unlikely that he'd started setting a trap here three months ago to deal with the Dragon King, and then deliberately lured us here to do it. If he had the ability to fight back, the effect he did in Jianghai would definitely be thousands of times better than in such a poor country. Their purpose should be to create chaos and influence, not to snipe the Dragon King specifically. ”
Such an analysis makes sense.
"And his strength can also be explained. If he is an elite specially cultivated by a certain sect or demon clan to infiltrate big cities to create chaos, then it will definitely be much more efficient than distracting his energy on learning complete spells, and only specializing in learning magic circles and curse techniques used to create chaotic destruction, and retreat techniques specially used to ensure his own safety. ”
Although Sun Yang felt that her assumption was a bit too wishful thinking, her speculations made logical sense.
"Then what do you think will be waiting for us at the An Giang Reservoir?" Lu Xiaoling asked.
"If what he said to the Dragon King before wasn't all a lie, then it should be the people who set up the snake hooks here." Bai Qi said. "If I had to guess, it would be a water-based youkai."
"We are now forty kilometers away from the An Giang Reservoir, so let's set off at ten o'clock in the evening. I will deal with the strongest of the other party, Qiu Niang will deal with the second strongest, Bai Qi and Lou Fan are responsible for setting up a formation to trap them, and Sun Yang is responsible for protecting Bai Qi and Lou Fan. Long Qingting said.
"If there are too many strong people on the other side...... Sun Yang asked.
Long Qingting laughed: "There are not many people in Great Xia who can defeat me, and I have arranged it like this to be foolproof. If there are many strong people on the other side, then it is up to me to contain the others, and Qiu Niang will deal with the strongest. With her current strength as a seven-tailed sky fox, it is impossible for an ordinary youkai to be her opponent. ”
Lu Xiaoling closed her mouth tightly and didn't say a word.
"I'll talk to Qiu Niang." Sun Yang said with some embarrassment.
"Then let's eat and rest now, recuperate, and then go and destroy them!"
