Chapter 054: Earthfire Molten City (22)
Seeing that Captain Zheng Hongzhi was in danger, Lieutenant Du Xuyao immediately chased after him with a few soldiers, while the two brothers Wei Zede, Li Daoyi, and Qi Wei and Qi Meng protected Liu Ru and Professor Liu Kai'an, and followed closely behind.
"This way!"
The two brothers, Qi Wei and Qi Meng, have outstanding survival ability in the wild, and the two of them are like fish in water in this mysterious valley.
Suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out in front of Wei Zede and the others on the right, which slowed them down.
"Qi Wei (Kastor), Qi Meng (Pollux), you brothers are here to protect Professor Liu Kai'an's father and daughter, Wei Xiaoning and I will go to the front to take a look at the situation!"
As he spoke, Li Daoyi (Taoist priest) waved his hand and motioned for Wei Zede to keep up with him.
Soon, the figures of the two men disappeared into the grass.
After leaving everyone's sight, Li Daoyi held a talisman in his hand and recited a mantra in his mouth: "One step and a hundred steps, the ground shrinks itself." Every mountain is flat, and every water is dry. Haste as a law! Absorb! ”
As soon as the voice fell, Wei Zede, who followed Li Dao, only felt that his body was as light as a swallow, and there was wind under his feet.
"Ahh Yes! ”
At this moment, several screams came from the front, and at the same time, the originally fierce gunfire became sparse.
"Be careful! Looks like the situation ahead isn't good......"
In the midst of the rush, Wei Zede loudly reminded Li Daoyi, who was running in front of him.
"Ahh
Another scream came, and the sparse gunfire stopped completely.
"Attack the ...... of the rescue team What the hell is it? ”
After losing the [Tarot Card], Wei Zede's combat power has been greatly weakened, and now he has no skill value but cannot use it, this embarrassing situation is very worthy of reflection.
However, this place was full of dangers, and Wei Zede, who was holding a one-handed sword, was on high alert, and he didn't care about the thoughts that flashed in his heart.
"Whoosh!"
A faint sound of breaking the air sounded, and Wei Zede, who had a high perception attribute, only felt that his scalp was numb suddenly, and a strong sense of crisis surged out of his heart.
"Enemy attack!"
Without having time to think about it, Wei Zede slammed to the side, rolled, and got up again, completing a standard tactical dodge.
Wei Zede looked up, and saw seven or eight black-brown tentacle-like vines piercing through the ground where he had been before.
"Demon vines? That's impossible! ”
In order to avoid the attack, Li Daoyi had already separated from Wei Zede, and when he saw these vines, he let out a surprise from his mouth.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking the air sounded again, and this time Wei Zede could see clearly, several vines were like squeezed springs, flying towards his body rapidly.
Calm your mind.
As the vine was about to hit him, Wei Zede stepped to the left, twisted, and slashed upwards with his one-handed sword.
With a "poof", the long sword slashed through several vines that flew over, and a fishy liquid sprayed out from the section of the vines.
Just as Wei Zede succeeded in attacking, the sound of breaking the sky sounded behind him again!
With his attention in front of him, Weizel had to hurry to respond to the attack from behind...... As he turned, he quickly withdrew his longsword, holding it up in front of his chest.
"Bell!!"
Wei Zede's face turned red, he only felt that he was hit by a car, and flew out directly.
Then, with another "poof", Wei Zede fell heavily to the ground. [HP: 89%]
If it weren't for Wei Zede's timely reaction and the long sword just resisting the attack of the tree vine, I'm afraid that the moment just now would have pierced his heart directly.
Shaking the long sword and turning the palm of his hand, Wei Zede, who had only suffered a slight skin wound, jumped up.
"There is no limit, and the wind and thunder are ordered; The dragon fights in the wilderness, and all directions are destroyed! Haste as a law! Absorb! ”
With the sound of Li Daoyi's mantra, a thunderclap exploded out of thin air.
"Boom!"
In the midst of the thunder, Wei Zede saw a large number of vines being blown away from Li Daoyi's position......
Immediately afterward, a sharp whistling sound sounded.
The vines, which seemed to have been greatly damaged, quickly disappeared into the grass.
"Daoist! Are you okay? ”
Wei Zede, who was holding a sword in his backhand, hurriedly took two steps forward and supported Li Daoyi, whose body was shaky!
"Whew! Ok......"
Li Daoyi, who was pale, waved his hand: "Although the physical strength can be recovered in a while, the skill value I saved is exhausted!" ”
"Let's go! Let's go back to the team first! ”
In the attack of the demon vine, Zheng Hongzhi and others did not see anyone alive or dead...... In desperation, Wei Zede had to help Li Daoyi, who had a large physical exertion, to return first.
"Is Comrade Li injured?"
When Wei Zede and the others returned to the team, Professor Liu Kaian hurriedly asked, "What about Captain Zheng and Lieutenant Du?" ”
"That's ......"
When Wei Zede recounted what had just happened, Liu Ru asked in disbelief, "What?" What attacked you was a tree vine? It's incredible! ”
"That's not a vine......"
Li Daoyi, who had recovered a little strength, opened his mouth and said, "It's a demon vine!" ”
"Demon vines?"
Professor Liu Kai'an looked puzzled, as if he was thinking about something.
"How is that possible? How can it be! ”
Professor Liu's body was shocked, and he exclaimed repeatedly: "This 'demon vine'...... Wasn't it in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was already ordered by Zhuge Liang to be wiped out? How could there be anything in this valley? ”
"Elder Liu, what is this demon vine? Why does it still have something to do with Zhuge Kongming? ”
Wei Zede looked at Li Daoyi, who was resting, and asked Liu Kai'an.
Professor Liu Kai'an froze, he did not directly answer Wei Zede's question, but asked rhetorically: "...... Did you know? ”
"King Wu's war, the battle of Muye, why did the division 'fall to fight to open the king of Wu'?" "During the Warring States Period, the Battle of Changping, why did Bai Qi kill 400,000 Zhao army prisoners?"
"The dispute between the Three Kingdoms, the southern expedition to the barbarians, why would Zhuge Liang rather lose Yangshou than burn the rattan armor soldiers?"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Professor Liu replied to himself, "...... According to the records in the esoteric texts, these historical events are directly related to the 'demon vines' we encounter today......"
Speaking of this, Professor Liu's voice suddenly stopped, and his face changed suddenly.
"We need to get out of this place as soon as possible!"
Professor Liu said anxiously, "...... If you don't leave, it'll be too late! ”
"But why is that?"
Liu Ru asked dissatisfiedly: "You have to give a reason!" It's been a long time for everyone to get here......"
"Demon vine! This danger has something to do with the demon vine......"
Professor Liu was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Get out of here first!" I'll explain it to you as I go! ”
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Zede and the others still followed Professor Liu's advice and turned back towards the cliff from which they came.
"Old Liu? The demon vine has been injured by me, how can we still be in danger? ”
Walking on the road, Li Daoyi, whose physical strength had not fully recovered, asked out loud.
"It's because ...... Whew...... In places where the 'demon vines' are infested, there are often a large number of puppets manipulated by it......"
Due to the rapid hurry, Professor Liu Kai was already gasping for breath.
"Could it be that the Shang army in the Battle of Muye, the capture of the Zhao army in the Battle of Changping, and the rattan armor soldiers in the Southern Barbarians of the Three Kingdoms are all puppets made by the 'demon vine'?"
Weizel smacked his tongue for his speculation: "If all this is true...... The truth hidden under the veil of mystery of history is really amazing! ”
Just as Wei Zede was making a guess based on Professor Liu's words, a low roar rang out around the rescue team.
"Oops! I was really told by Professor Liu......"
