Chapter 32: I'll Cover You
Xia Fan didn't answer, but looked at the broken part of the city wall for a while, "I have a better idea." ”
"Oh, what is it?" Fei Nian asked.
"Do you see the exposed beams and slabs? Just light them, and the whole gap is a huge torch. ”
"The technique I prepared didn't have the precise control to ignite an area. Luo lightly vetoed, "Once it is cast, the entire city wall will burn, not to mention that everyone is still resisting on it, if you use the last resort now, the fire time will not last until tomorrow." ”
"It's not for you to order, but for me to come. ”
"You?" Fei Nian questioned, "This is not something that can be done with ordinary magic techniques! the roof beams are not torches, and there is no hemp rope or fire oil on them, so you won't burn them even if you use the Flying Flower Flame in a row." ”
Luo lightly did not immediately deny it, but asked rhetorically, "How sure are you?"
"Luo lightly?" Fei Nian looked at her in surprise.
"If it's just lighting the wood, it's 100 percent. Xia Fan replied calmly, "But considering that you have to deal with demons, you have to reduce it by two percent as appropriate, plus one percent of modesty, it is better to count it as seventy." ”
"Taller than mine. Luo nodded slightly, "Do you need us to do anything?"
"Cover me close to the demon. This technique...... It's not about distance. ”
"I see. She took the torch and threw it to Fei Nian, "You keep the retreat, I'll try it with him." ”
Xia Fan smiled and took the lead in rushing towards the fracture.
"Are you serious, he's just a loose door!" Fei Nian said in disbelief, this attempt was definitely not the kind of thrilling trial in the past, ordinary candidates didn't even have the qualifications to stand here, and only the top disciples of the family dared to make such a move—and because of this, the teammates who fought side by side with them were naturally stronger and more secure. He didn't expect that Luo Qing would choose an ordinary scattered door to take risks, rather than a genius like him who could be as famous as him.
"As far as I know, he's not the kind of person who acts in a way that is unscrupulous. Luo chased after him without looking back, "I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Really...... Lose your marbles. Fei Nian had no choice but to raise the torch and light the way ahead for the two, "Okay, let me escort you again!"
Several flying flower flames rose into the sky, rushing towards the charms who were approaching Xia Fan like flowing fire, destroying them one by one at the edge of the firelight.
Taking advantage of this, the two of them had already crossed the flat area and climbed the collapsed city wall.
This section of the road was immediately much more difficult, and Xia Fan had to slow down, and with the help of the faint firelight, carefully chose each foothold. Lo lightly came first, easily overtaking him.
Is this really something that Fang Shi can do?
Xia Fan couldn't help but secretly stumble. The ruins of the collapse formed a small hill of irregular masonry, horizontal wooden beams, and fragile porcelain pieces that had to be climbed carefully even in broad daylight. But she seemed to have no weight, and with a slight tap of her legs, she could overcome one obstacle after another, and her agile posture was like that of an elf.
This reminded him of the legendary light work.
Not only that, Luo also lightly blocked several fluttering charms for him - it was close to the shimmering light area, and the ghost's figure was almost difficult to lock with the naked eye, but she was still able to control speed with slowness, and every time she struck the sword, she would be killed, as if those charms had deliberately crashed into her wooden sword.
Compared with the appearance of using both hands and feet, leaning over and climbing on the pile of rubble, Xia Fan once again felt the gap.
"Didn't your master ever teach you any body techniques?"
Luo gently cut down a charm and exhaled deeply.
Xia Fan noticed that she was not as calm as she looked, at least her breathing was much shorter than before, and her forehead was also covered with fine sweat, obviously exerting a lot of physical strength.
"What is that?"
"Sure enough. She showed a sudden expression, "You can understand it as martial arts, it did originate from the Jianghu martial arts at the beginning, but Fang Shi can play its role better." The body technique allows you to control your body more precisely, and can make up for the lack of agility before you have mastered the magic to a certain extent. ”
And this kind of thing...... Xia Fan finally knew why he was born in a professional class and always looked down on Sanmen.
"But when you enter the Privy Council, you will have to master it sooner or later. Luo paused slightly, "Now comes the point, how close do you mean?"
Xia Fan finally climbed to the top of the ruins, standing here, the wide gap stood above the heads of the two like a moat, and the beams sticking out on both sides were like a mottled old tooth. And in the center of the gap is the huge demon.
When viewed from above, it was not so frightening, but after looking up, the size of the demon seemed to increase several times, the palm of a hand alone was the width of two or three people, and its flat belly could be called a shield from the sky, if it was compacted, their fate would be terrible.
This sense of oppression is definitely not comparable to watching from a distance.
Xia Fan swallowed, "The closer the better, it's best to reach out and touch the target." ”
"In other words, we have to get under the demon's belly?" Luo gently looked at the demon's belly, "You wait for me for a while." ”
She stepped along, and as soon as she took two tentative steps, the demon reacted.
I saw a pitch-black rope swishing towards Luo, who rolled low and avoided it, and the rope that failed to hit was whipped on the city wall like a whip, and the force was so great that it left a deep mark.
Then came the second, which plunged straight in front of Lo's body, forcing her to retreat back into place. Again, the strength of the blow was still not small, almost reaching the depth of a few fingers in the green bricks.
"It doesn't seem to want anyone to go near its underneath. Luo gasped slightly, "Could it be that those hanging charms are its weak point?"
"But how is this going to pass?" Xia Fan frowned, he had already seen that he couldn't get close to the demon with his ability alone. And the genius of the Luo family seems to be able to cope with it alone, but it is difficult to say with his words.
However, the other party did not hesitate at all, "As before, I will walk in front, and you can follow me closely." ”
"Are you sure?"
"There's no time to think about it! if we wait for it to pounce again, the terrain will change, and we won't have a second chance to climb. Lowe lightly cut through the railroad.
Xia Fan naturally knew the meaning of her words, although it only took him less than half a quarter of an hour from deciding to support to arriving here, it was probably quite a long time for the candidates on the wall. The torches have been extinguished three times, and they have never been replaced, and the pressure brought by the charm is growing, and even if they can be safe and sound again, it will definitely be a collapse situation, and it will be impossible to change the situation by then.
"I see. He said in a deep voice.
"Very good, I have only one request. Luo took two deep breaths and lowered his body, "No matter what happens, don't stop." Believe me. ”
Xia Fan nodded silently.
"Up!"
When the words landed, Luo shot out like lightning, rushing straight towards the demon. The latter reacted immediately, and the rope on her abdomen was thrown at her as if it were opening its eyes.
The girl placed the wooden sword at her waist.
Her qi filled the tip of the sword, and for a moment it was like a star. When the rope approached, Luo gently drew his sword and slashed diagonally from the bottom to the top - the blade slashed through a crescent moon, splitting the black rope in two!
Xia Fan also rushed to the center of the broken wall, although he was far less agile than his teammates, but the wall built on the foundation of the brick house was so wide, and it shortened by half a meter with each step, and the distance could be said to be steadily narrowing little by little.
When Luo gently defused the third attack, he was close to the edge of the demon, and the target seemed to be within reach!
The demon also divided several ropes to deal with Xia Fan, but they were all gently blocked by Luo, who turned around. Although the situation was dangerous, she still caught up with the attack at the last second.
It's just that these few defensive blows also slowed down Luo's speed a lot, and the qi around the tip of the sword dimmed, and she couldn't cut those flying ropes anymore.
As if realizing that something was wrong, the demon let out a roar, and the ghost hanging from under his stomach struggled violently.
Not good!
Xia Fan instantly realized that the offensive and defensive balance that Luo had barely managed to maintain was about to be broken—she had already done her best just to deal with those tentacle-like ropes, and it was impossible to devote any more energy to dealing with Mei.
As if to confirm his suspicions, the two charms were the first to break free and land vertically in front of them.
The light here was darker than when she had climbed before, and the next moment she stood upright, she had already disappeared in place.
It is impossible for Luo to block two charms at the same time!
Xia Fan, who came to this judgment, subconsciously wanted to stop and dodge to dodge, but the other party's "believe me" suddenly came to mind, making him retract his retreat.
Just then, he smelled a faint fragrance.
Lo jumped straight in front of him gently!
After piercing one charm, she used her body to block the other one that attacked Xia Fan.
The black qi instantly wrapped around Luo Qingqing's body, and she barbed with her backhand, and at the same time kicked her knees, taking herself and Mei away from Xia Fan together!
Almost without stopping, the demon's attacks followed one after another—two ropes flew towards Luo lightly at one end, and the other came straight towards Xia Fan. Obviously, no one could cover him at this moment, Xia Fan simply gritted his teeth and rushed towards the rope.
But as it turned out, Lo had once again made good on her promise, drawing her wooden sword back and throwing it with all her might just before she fell to the ground, accurately smashing the incoming black rope.
It's just that she herself lost all means of defense, and was swept by another black rope, and a bright red crack suddenly appeared in her robe.
Luo snorted softly and was knocked out of the way.
Before she could hit the ground, the rope chased after her and wrapped it around her neck. No matter how much Lowe struggled gently, he couldn't stop the demon from tightening the ropes and hoisting her to her abdomen.
And Xia Fan finally arrived directly below the monster at this moment.
