Chapter 81: Meet the Enemy!
.......
The more you go inside, the more panicked the rows of houses become, most of the houses in the old city are bungalows, densely packed like fish scales, plus in disrepair, the abandoned earthen houses were crushed by heavy snow, and the whole city collapsed in the east and fell in a row in the west, looking full of devastation.
There are also a few houses that have not been crushed, and they are used as shelters by roaming beasts to avoid the snow, and the whole city is extremely silent except for the creaking sound of a few people stepping on the snow.
"Boom ————"
The sudden loud noise startled a few people, Zhao Lei hurriedly activated the Elemental Tree and entered a state of alert, Fei Xiaoliu consciously hid behind Zhao Lei, and Fei Wu was directly frightened into the snowdrift and remained motionless.
Zhao Lei stared at the place where the sound came from, and used the wind to probe the swarthy hole in the collapsed place.
"What's the situation?" Fei Xiaoliu asked.
Zhao Lei closed his eyes and felt the information fed back by the wind element, but he didn't find anything.
"It should be that the walls are too fragile, and the ripple effect of our footsteps. Zhao Lei relaxed his guard and explained.
Hearing Zhao Lei's explanation, Fei Wu, who was hiding in the snow like an ostrich, got up with a painful face, "I thought I was going to die." ”
Fei Xiaoliu pondered for a moment and said, "We have to get out of here quickly, although this sound is not loud, it is likely to attract other fierce beasts." ”
The two nodded in agreement, and hurriedly continued to march in the direction of the watchtower.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, Fei Wu suddenly said: "Xiao Qi said that she will leave traces along the way, and following her traces can avoid the gathering places of those fierce beasts." ”
"Fifth brother, you are responsible for finding traces, Zhao Lei, you are vigilant, now that we have entered half a kilometer, we may be attacked by fierce beasts at any time. ”
"I got it, but there's one thing I don't know if to talk about or not. ”
"What's the matter?"
"If we go at this pace, if there is a little accident, it is estimated that we will have to toss until dark to come out, will it be too slow. Zhao Lei looked at the sun in the sky, although it was not one o'clock in the afternoon, but the winter night came unusually fast, and it might have been dusk at four o'clock.
Fei Xiaoliu pondered for a while and asked, "Since you said so, is there any way to speed up?"
"Wind. Zhao Lei also suddenly remembered that his wind system was not only used for fighting and training, but also for traveling.
Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, Zhao Lei basically fought with physical skills during the game, and almost forgot that this guy was an elemental envoy, "Then you don't hurry up, you can have dinner if you go back early." ”
"Gotcha. Zhao Lei skillfully used the wind element to make a pair of wind boots with a downdraft, giving the two of them a support, slowing down their physical strength and speeding up their movements.
"If you don't use this good thing early, Xiao Zhao, aren't you a pit person. "The fifth brother is obviously a little unhappy, he is the most homely in the team, and his poor physical strength is unimaginable, and he almost went into shock after walking on a snowy road for a mile.
"Didn't you just think about it, I also want to save a little mental power, otherwise what if I can't release my skills when I encounter a fierce beast. Zhao Lei looked weak-hearted, how could he not have enough mental strength, just casually quibbling.
Fei Xiaoliu gently kicked Zhao Lei like a little penguin, and hurriedly urged: "Then hurry up and act, if you feel inconvenient, you can lift it at any time, don't force it." ”
Zhao Lei let out a few perfunctory sounds, and hurriedly continued to walk forward.
didn't walk for a while, Fei Wu, who was running at the front, suddenly shouted: "I see the traces left by Xiao Qi." ”
Zhao Lei and Xiao Liu leaned over to see that it was the footprints left by the cat's meat pad.
"Come with me, there's still here!" Fei Wu trotted excitedly, and now his strength was restored, and he was as excited as a child.
Zhao Lei and Fei Xiaoliu followed Fei Wu closely, following the cat's footprints all the way.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhao Lei suddenly realized that something was wrong, after accelerating, the speed of several people had reached the speed of a normal walk, but after walking for half an hour, he didn't see the so-called watchtower.
"Are we going wrong!" Fei Xiaoliu noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly called out to Fei Wu, who was walking in front.
But Fei Wu did not look back, and continued to walk forward as if he had heard nothing.
Fei Xiaoliu thought that Fei Wu didn't hear it, so he hurriedly caught up.
Zhao Lei looked at Fei Wu, who was acting strangely, and hurriedly grabbed Fei Xiaoliu, "Wait!
"I found out that we seemed to have deviated from the direction from the beginning, you look at the position of the sun, at first I thought it was to avoid the beast deliberately walked like this, but the more we walked, the more we deviated, this is not Xiao Qi's style. ”
"That is, there is a problem with the fifth brother. Zhao Lei lifted the Wind Boots on Fei Wu's body, but Fei Wu still kept moving forward.
"But the fifth brother won't harm us. ”
Seeing Fei Xiaoliu's anxious appearance, Zhao Lei hurriedly touched Xiaoliu's head and said, "Don't worry, it should be the fifth brother who has been recruited." ”
"Then what should I do!" Xiao Liu didn't have time to joke with Zhao Lei, so he hurriedly opened Zhao Lei's salty pig hand and looked at him angrily, the atmosphere in the city was very strange at this time, not only was there no sound, but there was not even a gust of wind.
Zhao Lei sighed for a moment that the hand of Xiaoliu's beret was not bad, and then burst into a shout: "Wind wraps around the armor!"
An invisible gust of wind converged into an invisible armor, and the irritable air currents blew up waves of snow, which directly fell on Fei Wu's body not far away, dragging him back.
Fei Wu seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and with his feet off the ground, he kept waving his arms and legs, and kept walking forward, like a robot executing instructions.
Fei Xiaoliu and Zhao Lei hurriedly approached Fei Wu, Fei Wu's mental state was a little wrong from the beginning, but he has always been timid and introverted, but he has always been at the front, and he has never looked back.
Zhao Lei felt that the situation was very bad, if they took the wrong path, where would their current position be, and why did the fifth brother take them down this road.
"Fifth brother!" Fei Xiaoliu grabbed Fei Wu, who was tied back by Zhao Lei with wind wrapping armor, Fei Wu's eyes were dark at this moment, as empty as ink, which scared Xiao Liu.
"The eyes are pitch black and delirious, it's the poisonous urine illusion of the three-eyed cat demon!" Fei Xiaoliu hurriedly recalled the reason for this phenomenon.
"You guessed it. Zhao Lei made another wind wrapping armor and wrapped Fei Xiaoliu in it.
Fei Xiaoliu looked at Zhao Lei in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Lei hurriedly explained: "Don't panic, we are surrounded. ”
Fei Xiaoliu looked at the direction of Zhao Lei's finger, and two snow-white big cats poked their heads out of the ruins, with a weird smile on their faces.
Unlike other cats, this cat demon is the size of an adult cheetah, and has a blood-red vertical pupil on its forehead.
Behind the two big cats, there was also a little white cat, this little white cat was almost the same size as Xiao Qi, no wonder there were such petite footprints left on the snow.
It seems that Xiao Qi's whereabouts were detected by the cat demon, but Xiao Qi did not find himself exposed, the cunning cat demon took advantage of this to set a trap, and Fei Wu was just used by the cat demon, running around aimlessly with Zhao Lei and Xiao Liu, wanting to consume the physical strength of a few people by relying on the snow, and when the three of them were exhausted, the two big cats would come out again to catch them all.
Recalling the loud noise just now, it was really not without reason, it should be that the three of them were targeted by them not long after they entered the block, but the camouflage of this group of cat demons was too good, and Zhao Lei did not find any trace of them.
"Little beast, it's quite treacherous, even your grandfather and I dare to lie!" Zhao Lei clenched his fists, and he was also relieved to see that there were only three cat demons.
He once saw the introduction of the three-eyed cat demon in the Encyclopedia of Strange Beasts, the most dangerous thing about this kind of beast is that it can confuse people's minds, and its combat effectiveness is at most an ordinary leopard.
If it was an ordinary person, it would definitely be helpless, but for an elemental envoy with a perverted physique like Zhao Lei, this kind of fierce beast with high agility and low blood volume is suitable for training.
"Zhao Lei, Fifth Brother will leave it to you!" Fei Xiaoliu shouted to Zhao Lei.
The most effective way to remove the illusion is to kill the spellcaster, which Zhao Lei naturally understands that as long as these initiators are eliminated, the fifth brother will return to normal, and only then can he contact Xiao Qi to return to the right route.
A soul tree in the depths of Zhao Lei's pupils began to stir, and the surrounding wind elements all let out a faint whine.
"Leave it to me!!"
