This night, although Xia Qiu slept late because of the game of intercepting Kong Ming's lantern in the middle of the night, the fatigue caused by practicing during the day and staying up late afterwards also made her sleep relatively heavy than usual.

It was already early morning outside the window, but the sky was much darker than usual, and it was rare to have such a cloudy day, and a large dark cloud shrouded the sky over Bauhinia Island. In fact, it was past the usual time to get up, but she and Xiao Libai were still dreaming.

Bang bang, a quick knock came from downstairs, although she subconsciously heard it, but her body couldn't get up at all, turned over and fell asleep quickly. But then, there was another hurried knock on the door, and she had no choice but to get up. She lifted the veil, put on another garment, and staggered down the stairs.

I hadn't woken up yet, so I tried a few times before I pulled the door open. Standing outside was Ouyang Xueye, he looked extremely energetic, if it weren't for the obvious dark circles under his eyes, it would be difficult to think that he hadn't slept all night. As soon as he saw Xia Qiu, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and prepare, you're leaving here today!" ”

"What?!" Xia Qiu rubbed his eyes, looked at his expression carefully, and saw that his eyes were blazing and his face was serious, which showed that he was not joking with himself, so he continued to ask, "What about you?" What about all the plans? Are they all ahead of schedule?! ”

"Hmmm! Because if we drag it any longer, I'm afraid it's not good for us, remember the group of white bats that chased you in the Soul Away Realm? It's likely that they're under the control of the Extraordinary Dao, and if he lets those guys infiltrate the Immeasurable Heavenly Realm as well, our chances of victory will be even smaller!" ”

"Is it too late to notify anyone else about the temporary change of plans?"

"I've already sent the Sanssouci Holy Child to inform the others, but I don't know how the weapons and supplies on the bear man's side are being prepared......" A trace of worry flashed in Ouyang Xueye's eyes, and then she continued to urge, "Hurry up, everyone on Bauhinia Island will set off at noon, and our large army will finally land on the hedge island closest to Xuanmiao Palace." It will be used as the main battlefield, but since the island is far away from the Great Waterfall, Jinshan and I will lead the men to escort you to the middle of the Fence Island first, and the rest of the way will be up to you and Libai to complete it together! ”

After listening to Ouyang Xueye's arrangement, Xia Qiu was already sleepy. She felt guilty when she thought that he had to escort her to a relatively strong place from the waterfall at the expense of delaying the time to join the army.

She knew that her own strength was not enough to reassure Ouyang Xueye that she was acting alone, they had obviously reached the most critical juncture of the enemy, but she had still become a burden to them. But she really didn't know how to persuade him to change his mind, after all, she had already understood that in such a tense situation, no one would be more thoughtful than Ouyang Xueye, so after hesitating for a moment, she had to nod and respond: "Okay!" ”

Back upstairs, she simply packed up two pieces of clothing, carefully rolled up the letters that had not yet had time to memorize, tied them with rope, and put them together into a bag that she had sewn on her body under the guidance of the elk fairy. While packing up her things, she would look out the window from time to time, the low dark clouds outside the window seemed to be overhead, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and the lake was calmer than she imagined.

When he took her to the platform with her bags and Little Libai, he found that her bow and quiver had already been wiped by the Elk Fairy and neatly placed aside. Seeing her come down, the elk fairy brought her a steaming breakfast as usual, and looking at his calm appearance, she always had the illusion that this was just an ordinary morning in the Infinite Heavenly Realm, and it was still far away from the moment when she was leaving, at least not today.

Elk Immortal brought her a note left by Ouyang Xueye, and he left first to complete some of the last preparations before the battle, and when it was time to leave, he would return to Ziyunju to pick her up again. Elk Fairy's cooking skills were as good as ever, but she barely drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and couldn't eat it anymore. Now she only feels cold in her hands and feet, and her whole body is extremely uncomfortable. She felt that although she was not experienced in a hundred battles, she had also experienced life and death tribulations, but she didn't expect that she would be so nervous at this moment.

At this time, there was a rumbling sound under the platform, which made her involuntarily suddenly put down her chopsticks and ran to the edge of the platform. She looked down, and under the guidance of eagles and dragonflies, the spirit horses in the meadow were running in the direction of the lake. She suddenly remembered that Ouyang Xue Ye had said that these spirit horses would be responsible for going to Chizhao Island to pick up the bear man and his souls. Unbeknownst to her, the spirit horses had other responsibilities in this operation, which was to transport the weapons and supplies they had prepared to the Bear Man to Fence Island.

In order to calm herself, after eating, Xia Qiu began to review the archery movements again, and also tried to distract herself, when she focused on drawing arrows, arranging arrows, and pulling strings, the feeling of cold hands and feet disappeared unconsciously.

The sky was still dim, so she couldn't tell how much time had passed, as if it had only been a while before Ouyang Xue came back from outside. As soon as he saw her, he smiled and asked, "How are you preparing, Xia Qiu?" ”

"All set!" She nodded in response.

"Then let's go! I'm afraid I'll ask you and Xiaoli Bai to give me a ride, and Eagle Yan and Dragonfly will be responsible for guiding the spirit horse herd for the time being. ”

"No problem!" Xia Qiu said as she took the little pear white off the table, touched its head and gently lowered it, and it changed into a huge form with understanding, and then proudly shook the fluffy hair on its body. She praised her bags, put the quiver on her back again, and then flew to ride on Xiao Libai's back, and then turned her head to Ouyang Xueye and said, "Come on!" ”

So Ouyang Xueye also turned over and stepped to the position behind her, and instructed the elk immortal: "Everything in Ziyunju will be handed over to you!" ”

Elk Fairy nodded silently, but Xia Qiu saw tears flickering in the corners of his eyes. For each of them, it is a parting of life and death, and in front of them is an unknown battle, a mysterious enemy, and an uncertain fate, but at the same time, it is a trial before Nirvana, and it is also the dawn after the darkness.

She was thinking about it when the sky suddenly lit up, and when the layers of dark clouds spread out in all directions, the sun shone on them again, and for some reason the rain didn't start after all. Xia Qiu drove Xiao Libai to leave the platform in the sunshine, and jumped into the air, Xiao Libai carried her and Ouyang Xueye and continued to step upwards and rise.

Ouyang Xueye pointed forward and said, "Look, the others are there!" ”

Xia Qiu looked in the direction of his finger and found the team waiting for them on the shore on the other side of the island, but it was only about a hundred revenants, and she asked puzzledly, "Didn't Jinsui and Naganaruko lead a total of two hundred revenants?" ”

"Naruko has already taken the lead in going to Chizhao Island to meet the bear man, and the most important part of this battle is to have enough weapons and supplies, and all of this is on the ten search boats that the bear man and they escorted." Ouyang Xueye explained.

Xia Qiu controlled Xiao Libai to reach the top of Jinshan's team, and Ouyang Xueye flew down from behind her and landed beside Jinshan. She saw the jade cicada in the team at a glance, originally she thought that the jade cicada was only responsible for contacting the souls involved in this operation, but she didn't expect that she would also participate in the battle.

Today, she still wears a pale yellow shirt on her upper body, and a silver armor like fish scales on top of her shirt, but the lower half of her body is white trousers made of the same luminous material as everyone else, which are connected to her boots and should be waterproof.

Seeing Xia Qiu in the air, she smiled and beckoned to her, looking as calm as Ouyang Xue Ye, which made Xia Qiu have to admire. It's Jinshan, the whole face is tense, and the expression and movements are not very natural.

Ouyang Xueye obviously noticed his abnormality as well, and directly put her hand on his shoulder and patted it twice, asking, "Are you okay?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay! ”

"You were experienced in a hundred battles before you died, why are you nervous now?"

"Alas, it's not because of the time spent in the immeasurable heavenly realm that my whole person is lazy, and I suddenly enter this state of tension again, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it." Jinshan sighed and answered truthfully.

"Don't worry, the fairy spirit beast in the lake gave me a dream last night, and it said that this time we will definitely win!"

Listening to Ouyang Xueye's appearance, Jinshan also relaxed a lot, looking at his rough and heroic appearance, but in fact, he was very persistent in believing in things like fortune or signs, and he said again and again: "That's good, that's good!" ”

Xia Qiu, who also landed not far from them, knew in his heart that the so-called dream was made up by Ouyang Xueye, and he couldn't help it for a while, but he could only turn his face and smile. When he looked up, he found that the jade cicada was also grimacing at himself, and the two looked at each other and smiled even more happily.

Some of the other faces in the team, she had seen at Tamachan's house last time, but most of them were still fresh faces, and the big head was not among them, and she guessed that he might have been assigned to Nagarumo's team, so she didn't think much about it. Originally, she wanted to ask Ouyang Xueye if the traitor had been caught today, but she never found a chance, so it was even more impossible to ask him at this time.

Ouyang Xueye calculated the time again, and then nodded towards Jinshan. Everyone understood that the time had come, they turned over and rode their respective spirit horses, and Ouyang Xueye still had to temporarily control Xiao Libai with Xia Qiu. Jinshan was the first to ride his horse in the direction of the lake, and everyone followed, according to the original plan, Ouyang Xueye and Xia Qiu were temporarily at the end of the line.

The last time she was at the bottom of the lake, Xia Qiu had already seen the nature of the spirit horses, but this was the first time she had seen how they actually traveled on the water. Even with their heavy loads, they are only half submerged in the water and can swim on four legs at an astonishing speed.

Xia Qiu tried to make Xiao Libai fly as low as possible, almost sticking to the surface of the lake, it was not too satisfied with the position at the end of the line, and always wanted to look for opportunities to overtake the person in front, but as long as Xia Qiu stopped it sharply, it would slow down again. Today, it seems to be much more obedient than usual, and perhaps even it feels the tension at this moment.

There was still no shadow of the enemy on their side, but a cloud of smoke had already risen from the lake far away from here, and under the thick smoke was a raging flame, Ouyang Xueye said as if talking to himself: "It seems that you have no worries!" ”
