Chapter 248: Ambush on All Sides
The sky is above, and the blue is like the sea.
The sea is below, and it is as blue as the sky.
The sea and sky are the same color, and the blue and faint are connected to the horizon of the cape, forming a scene of refreshing beauty.
On the beach of Pearl Island, Xu Zhixing and Lear are having a discussion.
Xu Zhixing's two seeds of cocoon breaking and rebirth grew in the wind, plus four vicious man-eating flowers, surrounded Lear on the lookout.
Lear held a peachwood sword in his hand, three charms twisted on his fingers, and looked around calmly, braking quietly.
Xu Zhixing stood outside the circle, his fingers slightly, and two spiritual energies shot through the encirclement and shot at Lear's knees.
Lear stepped back, avoiding the two psionic powers, and as his body moved, the man-eating flower opened its bloody mouth and pounced on the blades as sharp as knives.
The cannibal flower is huge, and its blades are like giant machetes, cut down on all sides, forming an impenetrable knife array. Coupled with those big mouths, it puts Lear in a cage full of deadly murderous intentions.
Lear is not afraid of this embattled danger. The peachwood sword in his hand swung, and three charms shot out, and the peachwood sword pierced a hole in each of the three charms like lightning.
"Bang bang bang!" The first of the three spells exploded into a cloud of mist, the second into a whirlwind, and the third into a cloud of frost.
The mist was swept up by the whirlwind, blocked on all sides, and instantly enveloped the cannibal flowers. The frost centered on the peachwood sword, blooming with an endless chill, and the low temperature immediately caused the mist to condense, and it was tightly attached to the stems and leaves of the man-eating flower.
The cannibal flower had a layer of ice crust attached to it, and its movements immediately slowed down. Lear took this opportunity to sweep the peachwood sword out, and a warm yellow light swept by, and the four man-eating flowers were cut off at the same root, and fell on the sand, struggling for a moment, before popping into a cloud of green juice.
"Good!" Xu Zhixing applauded, and with one hand, he took back the two seeds of cocoon breaking and rebirth.
Lear put away his peachwood sword, stroked his beard, and smiled, "I'm ashamed." ”
The two put away their soaring spiritual energy, their eyes met, and they exchanged glances, both a little disappointed.
This is the third day in a row that they have been fighting on Pearl Island, and each time they deliberately let their spiritual energy spread, and there is a strong sense within a radius of five hundred miles.
According to Rivers, this level of psionic effect caused by the battle should have been felt by Helmos from fifteen hundred miles away. However, calculating the time, if he had really come to hunt, he should have arrived a long time ago.
It's a pity that for three days, Helmos didn't even show a shadow, not only Xu Zhixing and Lear, who were the "prey", were disappointed, but Mo Lin and others who were ambushed in the shadows were also a little discouraged.
"Did he sense something?" Zhu Pingman shook his head and came out of the ambush pit.
Xiaobai also got out of Mo Lin's arms, and with an annoyed face, he used his claws to dig the soil on the ground to relieve his boredom: "This guy is really cunning!" ”
Rivers also looked puzzled, and he muttered, "It shouldn't be like this, with Helmos's current condition, if he doesn't seek more souls, he won't be able to defeat me at all, and he won't be able to break my seal." So what the hell is he doing? ”
Mo Lin saw everyone's anxiety and comforted: "Don't worry, it's only been three days." Now that he is in the dark and we are in the light, we must not be in a hurry. Once the ambush is discovered by him, it will be even more difficult to lure him out. ”
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with Mo Lin's statement. Anyway, Helmos is nowhere to be found, and if he is not caught for a day, this kind of performance will have to continue.
Just as everyone was about to go back to rest, Rivers suddenly stopped, frowned, and looked at the western sky.
Mo Lin saw the subtle changes in his face, and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”
"I seem to sense some ominous signs." Rivers' face became more and more ugly, and Mo Lin noticed that his fists were clenched, and he seemed very angry.
"What's there?" Mo Lin tried hard to expand the sea of knowledge, but he could only expand to a radius of five hundred miles, and he couldn't feel any abnormalities.
"To the west, far away, Helmos is slaughtering." Rivers' body trembled with rage, his teeth gurgling, a sentence that had taken a great deal of effort to squeeze out between his teeth.
"Slaughter!" Mo Lin exclaimed, "Where?" ”
"To the northwest, a huge city, where there are many people screaming, there are many people whose souls have been devoured by him. They were crying, screaming, and running away, but no one could escape Helmos......" Rivers said, trembling.
Mo Lin's pupils dilated, the giant city in the northwest, it should be Bian Que City. Bian Que City is the territory of the medical family, and it is also the least defended city among the seven great families. The medical family is mainly based on the medical way, and the study of martial arts is slightly weaker, and the power of the guard is simply useless in front of the powerhouses of Helmos's level.
"Why did he massacre civilians?" Mo Lin only felt that his chest was clogged with a wave of anger, and he wanted to explode but had nowhere to show it, which was very sad.
"He seems to have known the defenses of the powerful on the mainland, and he also guessed that we would set up an ambush, so he shifted the target to the civilians." Rivers Road.
"Although the souls of the Pingming people are of little help to his strength, if there are enough of them, they can greatly strengthen him." Rivers went on to say, "I think he's going to build up his strength by slaughtering civilians before he can deal with us." ”
"I will not allow him to do that." Mo Lin said, "I'm going to Bian Que City." ”
"Even if you go now, it's too late." "We should be cutting off his route to continue the slaughter." ”
Mo Lin listened and couldn't help but calm down, he drew a simple topographic map of the continent on the beach and analyzed it with Rivers.
The city of Bian Que is located in the northwest of the mainland, and from there there there are two options for the next densely populated place. One is from west to east, entering the territory of Taoism, where there is the main city of Taoism, "Daodaojing". The other is to follow the direction of the Sunset Mountains to the south, and you will enter the territory of the Mo family and reach the Ink Village.
After drawing the route, Mo Lin gasped, although he had been kicked out of the Mo family a long time ago, there were still many of his friends and relatives in the village. Even if many people have no affection for him, and even regard him as an enemy, he doesn't want anyone to be hurt by Helmos.
"We have to act now." Mo Lin said, "I'll go to Moshi Village, you go to Daodaojing, and we'll join forces and cut off the route of Helmos." ”
"If we are separated, won't we be broken by each of us? Maybe that's exactly what Helmos was thinking...... "Rivers hesitated.
"I can't care about this, I can't let my relatives be slaughtered by him!" Mo Lin ignored Rivers' objections and went straight to Zhu Pingman and Xiaobai.
Moments later, everyone on Pearl Island knew what Helmos was doing. Lu Yueren, who has always been elegant, has a heavy face, and his eyes are full of grief and anger.
"I'm on a team with Grandpa, Xiaobai, Juzi, and the Snake King." Mo Lin assigned the team, "Please ask Senior Lear and Rivers, Zou Mo, Lu Yueren, Xu Zhixing, and Sun Qi to form a team." We split up and keep in touch, and once we find out about Helmos's movements, we will fight in two directions, and we must not let him endanger the world again. ”
"Okay, just do it." Everyone nodded in agreement with Mo Lin's distribution, and the communication between the two teams was connected by the spirit of the soldiers between Linghu Ye and Linghu Zi's father and daughter.
After assigning the team, everyone did not dare to delay, and immediately set off, and the troops were divided into two ways. Mo Lin went straight to the west, through the swamp, to the village of Mozhi. Rivers headed northwest to Daodaojing.
Non-stop, hurried, Mo Lin and the others did not stop for a moment, and spent a whole day crossing the entire continent, from the coast of the East China Sea to the Moshi Village under the Sunset Mountains.
Standing on the ridge of the Sunset Mountain Range, looking at the village with mist cooking smoke, Mo Lin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had caused the village to suffer a catastrophe because he had been one step too late, he would never forgive himself.
After a whole day of running, the team looked a little tired, Mo Lin and Zhu Pingman were fine, even Xiaobai and Snake Jiuyou were a little out of breath, not to mention Luo Qianqian, Ling Huzi and Yueyao.
Mo Ren was a little worried, and just breathed a little, and was about to enter the village to see, but was stopped by Mo Lin.
"Giant, don't be impatient." Mo Lin said.
"How?" Mo Ren stopped his small steps.
"If we go into the village now, Helmos might find some clues. I don't think it's better for us to stand still and spy secretly around the village, and once he dares to appear, it will become that he is in the dark and can get the first move. Mo Lin said.
Mo Ren nodded and said, "That's right, I'll listen to you." ”
"There is one more thing, maybe it will trouble the giant." Mo Lin whispered a few words in Mo Ren's ear, and the two whispered a little, then quietly dived down the mountain, and came back after a long time, and I didn't know what to do.
△△△
In the dead of night, the silent shadows sink into the wall, and the moonlight caresses the ink village, like a gentle hand, soothing the night and the sleeping people.
Mo Chong is a member of the Ink Lord's Shadow Division, and he is responsible for guarding the entrance of the village on the north side.
Only two or three years ago, Mozhi Village was all about not leaving a trace of roads and not closing its doors at night, and only one or two dark sentry posts were needed at night. But in the past two years, the world has not been good, natural disasters have been one after another, and the number of night guards in Moshi Village has increased to more than 20.
The leader of the dark tribe tonight is Wolf Tan, and he patrols back and forth between several secret posts, lest there be any mistakes. I don't know why, Wolf Tan always feels a little uneasy, but he can't say why.
When he came to Mo Chong's sentry post, he saw that he was intently looking at the wind and grass around him, so he made a gesture of praise. After the two of them used sign language to inform each other of their safety, Wolf Tan was relieved to continue patrolling to the west.
Wolf Tan left on his front foot, Mo Chong continued to observe, he held a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, which could see things in the dark, and he could also see the subtleties within a hundred steps, which was very effective.
Holding up the clairvoyant mirror, Mo Chong looked at the intersection in front of him, but the front of the mirror was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chong thought that there was a problem with the focal length, so he twisted a clasp in the middle of the clairvoyant to adjust the distance between the two lenses.
No matter how he adjusted it, it was still pitch black in the mirror. Mo Chong was a little puzzled and took off the clairvoyant mirror to see what was wrong.
As soon as he took off the clairvoyant mirror, Mo Chong was stunned. Only then did he know that it was not the clairvoyant mirror that was wrong, but that he was blocked by a dark shadow in front of him.
"You ......" Mo Chong wanted to ask who the other party was, and at the same time grabbed his hand to his side, there was a mechanism there, as long as he pulled, it would immediately warn the village.
But his mouth opened a little and was restrained, and his fingers were less than an inch away from the mechanism, but he could no longer move forward even a fingernail.
The black shadow clasped Mo Chong's chin with one hand, making him unable to speak, and the other hand restrained his chest, making his whole body soften, and he didn't have the slightest strength.
Next, the black shadow's hand moved slightly, and Mo Chong felt that something in his body rushed out, and his consciousness gradually blurred, and then he didn't know anything.
The shadow was none other than Helmos, who swallowed Mo Chong's soul and licked his lips.
"This soul is okay, it's kind of interesting. The souls in that city are too weak, and eating a few thousand is worth an ordinary powerhouse, and there seem to be a lot of strong players in this village, if you can eat one or two hundred, it is worth a top powerhouse. Helmos scanned greedily, looking for a place to start.
Searching, an aura stronger than Mo Chong slowly approached. Helmos's eyes rolled, and he hid in Mo Chong's secret whistle, quietly waiting.
When he was in Bian Que City, he was completely unscrupulous in slaughtering on the street, and swallowed people when he saw them. But in the Ink Village, he used a different method, sneaking in the dark and breaking each one.
This is the cleverness of Helmos, he found that there are many strong players in the Ink Village, and these are all the food in his eyes, and he refuses to let go of any of them. It would be a pity if someone escaped. Anyway, there was a whole night, and he was going to enjoy this gluttonous night slowly.
It was Wolf Tan who came, he had just left Mo Chong's post, and suddenly felt some abnormal fluctuations in his breath behind him.
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart made him return, and he decided to take another look and make sure everything was business before continuing his patrol.
When he came to Mo Chong's secret whistle, Wolf Tan was nowhere to be seen. Startled, he walked up quickly to see where Mo Chong had gone.
As soon as he approached, Wolf Tan suddenly felt something strange behind him, and he turned his head sharply, but his neck was already in the hands of the sneak attacker.
The cold hand clasped his neck, and a cloud of cold qi poured into his body, sealing his spiritual energy, making him unable to use his skills without exerting them.
"This is good, it must taste good." A smile appeared on Helmos's face, "If the quality of every soul is that high, then after tonight, I will be able to challenge Rivers." ”
As he said this, his hands were not idle at all, and the black qi rose to envelop Wolf Tan, who only felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, and the power in his body rushed towards the top of his head with an illusory feeling.
Then he tore through the general feeling, leaving Wolf Tan's consciousness in a vague state, and he was terrified inexplicably, and the last bit of clear consciousness was unable to maintain, and his soul was about to leave his body.
At that moment, there was a loud bang, like the sound of a huge bowstring breaking, and with the roar of the sky falling apart, a huge arrow was shot at Helmos's vest.
There is nothing wrong with saying that it is a giant arrow, because this one arrow goes beyond the definition of an arrow.
It was an arrow made from a huge trunk of a tree, the trunk of which was enough to be hugged by three people, and the tip of the arrow was sharpened into a very sharp arrow, and I don't know what kind of bowstring it would have to use to fire it.
Of course, the huge arrow made a loud noise, and the arrow almost woke up the whole village.
Helmos, of course, was no exception, the wind whistled behind his ears, and the huge arrow was half shot and half smashed, and the momentum was amazing, and it seemed that it was going to smash him flat at once.
For some reason, Helmos took the safest approach, he sandwiched the wolf sandalwood under his ribs, temporarily gave up the idea of devouring the soul, and flew up on tiptoe.
The arrow passed under his feet, much to Helmos's relief, and the village that had been awakened by the arrow was lit up with countless lights, disrupting the wonderful plan that Helmos had secretly devoured.
It was such a sigh of relief that it became Helmos's biggest mistake.
The giant arrow was still flying, but two breaths appeared from below the giant arrow, and from nothing, the two breaths instantly swelled, and attacked behind Helmos at a lightning speed.
These two sneak attackers are Mo Lin and Mo Ren, they use their own way to govern their bodies, Helmos is best at sneak attacks, but now they are hidden by Mo Lin and Mo Ren under the giant arrow, and when he is negligent, he suddenly launches.
Helmos sensed the attack from behind and was alert, but it was a little too late.
In his haste, he could only fly forward and sprint forward, hoping to rely on his speed to dodge the attack from behind.
Unexpectedly, several breaths also appeared in front of him, and the three masters of Zhu Pingman, Xiaobai and Snake Jiuyou had long been hiding in the Ink Village, waiting for the launch of the giant arrow and the sneak attack of Mo Lin Mo Ren, they had already calculated that Helmos would react, and just caught him in the front and back.
Helmos was caught in a dilemma with interception in front and pursuers in the rear.
If it is about the strength of fighting alone, none of the five masters present is by no means his opponent. But the five strong men attacked back and forth, but when Helmos's breath was not smooth, they didn't give him any opportunity to adjust, which was tantamount to using the long over the short, completely putting Hellmos at a disadvantage.
Thinking about the electric turn, Helmos chose the method of minimum loss, he stopped abruptly, turned back suddenly, and fought hard to take a hard blow from Mo Ren, and pushed out his palms fiercely, the black light was fierce, and the colorful spiritual energy attacked by Mo Lin collided hard.
"Poof" Mo Lin only felt a strong surge, quickly invading his limbs and hundreds of remains, and impacting heavily on the five bright points and seven chakras, making his blood almost flow backwards, and his breath was disordered, his body trembled, and a mouthful of black blood spurted out.
Mo Ren's full force hit Helmos's body, coupled with Mo Lin's impact, Helmos was also injured, but compared to Mo Lin, his degree was much slighter.
Mo Lin flew out a few steps upside down, floating in the air, covering his chest, breathing the chaotic aura in his body, shocked and inexplicable.
I thought that the well-crafted trap would take the lead, at least to give Helmos a dismount, but I didn't expect his strength to be so fierce that he could actually take a hard blow in a situation where he was surrounded and hurt himself.
After Helmos injured Mo Lin, his body flicked with a bow, shaking Mo Ren away, and then he rose into the sky, turning into a cloud of black light, and was about to flee.
"Don't go!" Zhu Pingman turned into a cloud of rainbow light and rushed into the sky, blocking Helmos's way. He connected his fingers and flicked his fingers, and a cloud of psionic energy flew all over the sky, shuttling and whistling, shooting towards Helmos.
Xiao Bai also conjured up a giant three-tailed civet cat, rising into the sky like a fierce tiger, and the snake Jiuyou spit out a cloud of black gas, rendering the moonlight in the night sky to lose its brilliance at once.
The three strong men shot at the same time to block, and Helmos was slightly injured, and it was not so easy to rush out, so he could only fall back to the ground again.
The corners of Helmos's mouth were slightly raised, and he sneered at the net of heaven and earth in all directions. He simply no longer wanted to run away, but calmly began to breathe.
Mo Lin saw that he was going to fight back, and he was also suppressing the breath in his body, and gradually returned to normal.
"Mo Lin, are you alright?" Mo Ren came to Mo Lin's side and asked.
"Don't worry, Giant, but please appease the villagers and ask them to go to a farther place. I think it's going to be a tough battle soon. Mo Lin said.
Mo Ren nodded, he also saw that the village was in chaos, and many dark and ink people came over, but they couldn't help at all, but they would distract everyone.
Helmos stood in an open field, staring coldly at the crowd around him, thinking in his heart. Overhead, Zhu Pingman, Xiaobai, and Snake Jiuyou were scattered, each holding one direction, while Mo Lin was far away from Helmos, controlling the other direction.
The four strong men joined forces, and Helmos also had to think about it a little, what he was thinking about was not how to escape, but how to swallow the souls of these strong men. According to his calculations, as long as he swallowed these powerful and powerful souls, he would definitely be able to compete with Rivers.
Mo Lin didn't know what Hellmos's mind was, and when he saw his eyes wandering around, he knew that he must be planning some new conspiracy.
Mo Lin waved his arms at the three companions in the air, reminding them in sign language to be careful and never fight with Helmos. This is the plan they had made before, to use the advantage of numbers to fight with Helmos, not to give him a chance to devour his soul, and to drag him down.
Helmos had an idea in a moment, and he walked slowly towards Mo Lin.
Seeing that Helmos moved, Zhu Pingman was the first to launch, and the psionic beams shot towards Helmos's vest one by one.
Xiaobai's civet cat scratch and Snake Jiuyou's demonic aura were also launched at the same time, causing trouble for Helmos to attack back and forth.
Mo Lin was in a tight position, the breath of his whole body disappeared in an instant, his muscles and bones were in a relaxed state, and the snake rage would be launched at any time.
Helmos was originally walking very slowly, waiting for Zhu Pingman in the air to start, and suddenly his figure flashed, but instead of rushing towards Mo Lin, he turned halfway and rushed straight to the crowd of Mo Shi Village.
"Not good!" Mo Lin was taken aback, his body tensed up again, what he was most afraid of was Helmos's trick of fishing in troubled waters, if he rushed into the crowd, let him escape, he was most afraid of making and killing.
In a hurry, Mo Lin followed and rushed into the densest place of the crowd.
At this moment, calm had been restored in the village, and Mo Ren appeared in time to appease everyone and let everyone evacuate outside the village immediately.
The discipline of the ink is very strong, but it has been restored in a moment, and under the organization of the dark department, he is walking out of the village in an orderly manner.
At this time, Helmos rushed over, and the shadows tried to block it, but before they could get close, blood splattered, and they fell down screaming.
Mo Lin chased after him, and when he saw this, he was furious and shouted: "Helmos, there is a kind of you fighting with me!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd, and Helmos, who was still in front of him, came out like a ghost, and within two steps of Mo Lin's side, he grabbed Mo Lin's head with one hand.
