Chapter 21: The Way Home
Early the next morning, Kun Ba and the others packed up and prepared to leave, Mu Hao whispered a few more words in Kun Ba's ear, and then, Kun Ba set off with everyone.
Yang Hao and Ye Xie also followed the team according to the previous arrangement. In the queue, Yang Hao saw a slightly familiar figure, Jinyue was also in the team, Mo Bing asked to bring it, although she was only a recruit, but in the previous battle, the combat effectiveness he showed was definitely not inferior to that of veterans, and even more powerful than some veterans, so he brought her with him.
The crowd rode fast horses, carried food, and went directly on the road, without saying a word all the way, and set off towards the fortress in the rear.
"Brother Li Jing, what are the circumstances to report to the marshal when we go back now?"
"Alas, there is not much to say, but there is a lot. ”
Mo Bing looked at Li Jing, not knowing what he meant by this. On the other hand, Kun Ba on the side showed a somewhat helpless expression, because what Li Jing said was really right, in fact, there were a few things to say, one was that the intelligence network was chaotic, the enemy army was weird, and the other was that the purpose of the spirit might be a few fortresses on the front line, and then there was the existence of ghosts in the team. But there are only a few things, and it will take a few hours just to explain how they were discovered.
"And ....."
"And what?"
"Nothing. ”
Li Jing inadvertently glanced at Yang Hao secretly.
Suddenly, as if something had been thought, everyone stopped.
"Monkey, what's wrong?" Kun Ba couldn't figure out what Li Jing wanted to do.
"If what we inferred before, there really is an inner ghost, do you think, will we encounter it?"
"This ....."
"So, I'm still a little bit ahead of me. ”
Kunba wanted to stop it, but when he thought that Li Jing was doing this, he didn't say anything, but he still pointed out that the two of them accompanied Li Jing.
"Mo Bing, you also follow Li Jing. Both of them are in the realm of agility, so if something happens, it's also convenient. ”
"Okay. ”
So, the team of more than 20 people was divided into two groups of actions, and I have to say that Li Jing was indeed safer to explore the road in front, and the soldiers who followed Kunba naturally relaxed. But Kunba did have a faint sense of unease.......
After a few hours of traveling, the team began to be a little tired, Li Jing touched the mount, Li Jing asked the team to stop, and sent a person to the rear to intercept Kunba and them, asking for repairs.
Sitting on a stone on the side of the road, Li Jing took out his water bottle, drank a big sip desperately, and then poured some more on the horse's back.
"Brother Li, how long are we going to go?"
"At our pace, if there are no obstacles along the way, if we reduce the rest time in the middle, we can get there in two or three days. ”
"But where are we now?"
Mo Bing took the map and looked left and right.
"You, you're already leading the team, you can't read the map yet, it's usually Ling Hui's kid who reads it, right?"
was said by Li Jing, Mo Bing was also a little embarrassed.
I just haven't seen this map before, so I'm a little unfamiliar. ”
"....If you quibble, I'll hear if there's any reason I haven't heard of it. ”
“.............”
"Now, we're here now. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a point on the map, which was on the road connecting Lingyun Fortress and the Radiant Fortress behind it.
"Then we're going to get to Radiant Fortress first, aren't we?"
"Yes, it would be more convenient if we could use the teleportation array there, if not, then we would have four or five days. ”
The two were discussing, it was almost noon at this time, and the soldiers who reported it had also returned, but they brought back a message from Kunba, saying that they would leave after lunch first, and Li Jing didn't say anything else, so he asked everyone to prepare for dinner.
"Come, give me all the kettles, I'll go fetch water. ”
"General, how can I let you come, let's just go. ”
"Okay, okay, you hurry up and cook, I'll come back and eat in a while, if you don't eat, you won't be punished!"
"Yes!"
Li Jing has always loved nurses, and began to collect water bottles as he spoke.
"Brother Li, wait for me, I'll go too. ”
Mo Bing behind him chased after him.
The two of them went to a nearby water source to fetch water, and according to the map, there was a small stream nearby. The remaining two soldiers were cooking the meal to be eaten at noon, saying that it was a meal, and the army was fighting, how could there be any food at all, at this time, the small marching pot was cooking the meat of the Lingyue Sparrow, which was still hunted by the White Front Army's baggage team before, this kind of finch is huge, and it is more delicious than ordinary chicken, but in addition to this, the rest are wild vegetables.
Li Jing and Mo Bing walked together, turned over a small high ground, and finally saw the water source, and immediately took out the kettle and began to draw water.
"Brother Li, who do you think the inner ghost will be?"
"This kind of question, before there is no evidence, it is best not to guess, after all, once people have preconceived ideas, it will affect judgment. ”
"I know, but I really can't figure out what kind of purpose it is to be with the spirits. ”
"Do you know the era of 'gangsters'?"
"Haven't heard of it. ”
"Hehe, it's not surprising that you don't know, not many people know about it now. That was a long time ago, when I heard about it from the Dark Minister of the previous man. ”
Li Jing narrated quietly.
"It should have been a few decades ago, you know, there are many schools among the spiritual masters, not to mention so many scattered cultivators, do you remember what the master said before, our own spirit is actually our own faction, and at that time, there was a strange person in the spiritual cultivation institute, combined with his own spiritual power, and borrowed the power of the spirit to form a new spiritual power. But when combining the two powers, he gradually became lost in himself, and finally caused a catastrophe, being hunted down by the high-level of the monastery at that time, and finally heard that he was killed, but when he fled, there were some forces that helped him. ”
"Certain ?!?!"
"Yes, but you have to remember that you just know what you said today, and there is no need to tell others about these things, so it's better not to make them known to everyone. ”
As he spoke, the four kettles were already filled with water, and Li Jing sprinkled some water on his armor to cool down. When the two were about to leave, Li Jing suddenly pulled Mo Bing and put one hand around her waist.
"Lee... Brother Li!" Li Jing's other hand immediately pressed her mouth tightly.
"Shhhhhhh
"Two, six,....... seventeen, twenty-eight,.................. Sixty-seven, eighty ......." Listening to Li Jing's count, Mo Bing also reacted and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Listen, you can run along the stream later, turn right back the way we came, and go back to join the Kunba. ”
"Hmm...... Uh-huh!" Mo Bing shook his head desperately, as if he had guessed what Li Jing was going to do, and Mo Bing's eyebrows were so anxious that they were almost together.
Li Jing always looked at the grass closely, and suddenly, he pushed Mo Bing's waist violently.
"Run!!" Then he pulled out the two daggers from behind his waist and rushed directly towards the spirit.
Mo Bing glanced back, and more than forty spirits on the left, right, and right jumped out and rushed towards Li Jing, and there was a sound of rustling in the grass in the distance. There is a spirit figure moving. The man in front of him was fighting alone, just like when he first got to know him, always so lonely, but so determined. There was a thought in her heart, she didn't want the figure she cared about to be invisible, so she grabbed her spirit wand and turned back.
The dagger in Li Jing's hand was flipped, one hand was holding it right, the other hand was holding it back, his body was rotating around and borrowing strength, fighting with the spirits, but there were more and more spirits coming around, and as far as the eye could see, there were not hundreds, but more than hundreds.
Suddenly, a flash of fire struck, rolling up a fire tornado, sweeping through the spirit, and suddenly there was a wail.
"Why are you back again?!?!"
"I don't! my position is the same as yours, and you are not qualified to order me!"
Looking at the dense spirits in front of him, Li Jing was helpless, pulled up Mo Bing and ran in the opposite direction of Kun Ba them.
"Ice Prison!" A spirit spell was shot out in his hand, and a spirit was trapped by the ice prison, and the ice crystal cage suddenly contracted, and the spirit inside was killed in the cage. The spiritual spells in Mo Bing's hands were endless, and even if he was running, he still hit the spirit accurately. But there are too many spirits.
"No, there are too many of them, and if we continue like this, we will be surrounded. ”
"I know it without you saying it. ”
The two of them galloped through the trees, the mud under their feet stepping on the footprints, and behind them was the roar of the spirit. ran to a relatively open area, and finally was caught up by the spirit and surrounded them.
"Brother Li, I can use the spiritual method to open the barrier to block for a while, you go first!"
"So, you're going to trade your life for mine?"
“......... I do."
Mo Bing said resolutely, but Li Jing was suddenly stunned, this person who had always been regarded as a stupid girl by himself unknowingly ......
"What nonsense are you talking about, this place is just right. ”
"Huh?"
Before Mo Bing could react, Li Jing released the dagger in his hand, and the two ghost rakshasas who snatched their lives suddenly appeared beside them.
The giant scythe in his hand drew a graceful arc, and the spirits fell one by one, while on the other side, the arrows feathered and flicked, and each feather arrow carried a sharp murderous aura. Mo Bing also came back to his senses, the spirit staff in his hand had not yet been released, but it emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and the next moment, Li Jing saw a line of tree roots rushing out of the ground, tying up the spirits one by one, Li Jing was dumbfounded, but he also felt that this level of spiritual method required a lot of consumption, because at this time, drops of sweat continued to seep out along Mo Bing's forehead.
"Don't consume too much!
After speaking, the dagger in his hand spun and came out of his hand at a spirit, only to see the dagger spinning in the air, slashing through the head of the spirit, and splitting into two!
At the same time, the hidden weapons in Li Jing's hands were scattered one after another, and the spirit didn't even know how he died.
Mo Bing saw that he had already killed Ling Ling for a while, so he wanted to pull Li Jing away, but Li Jing pulled her in turn. It made Mo Bing look puzzled.
Soon, those chasing and killing spirits were killed more than fifty times, Li Jing and Mo Bing had a series of outbursts, and there were also beads of sweat dripping, and at this moment, Li Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly pulled Mo Bing back, just when he just left the place, but suddenly a figure appeared in their original place, holding a knife in his hand, slashing down, and then suddenly disappeared again!
"Oops!"
Li Jing pushed Mo Bing away violently, and a sharp knife swung down. Li Jing's arm was cut open.
"The response is not bad, you guy is kind of interesting. ”
The figure holding the scimitar said coldly, and the scimitar in his hand was aimed at Li Jing again, Li Jing lifted the dagger and could block it, but then the second knife followed, Li Jing blocked the dagger with both hands, although he had the advantage of both hands, but Li Jing felt that he couldn't keep up with the speed of the opponent, not only a little surprised, because his strength in speed has always been very confident, which also let him know that he was afraid that he would hit the steel plate today.
"Mo Bing, go quickly, don't look back, you must ...... No. ”
Mo Bing looked at Li Jing's eyes, this time, Li Jing no longer pushed her away, but she knew that she was a burden here at this time, and there were tears in her eyes.
Then, he turned around firmly, with a little spiritual power under his feet, and hurried away.
Li Jing looked at the enemy in front of him: "It seems that you can have a good time." ”
Li Jing, the twin ghosts, rushed straight out. 10645215400
