Chapter 21: The Stone Rat Tide
Stone rats, one of the more common rodent beasts in the mountains. Its reproductive ability is extremely strong, and its number can increase three or four times a year. Whenever there are too many stone rats, there will be an outbreak of stone rat tides. Although the stone rat is only defined as a first-level fierce beast, its speed and damage are extremely amazing, even if a seventh-level cultivator falls into the endless tide of stone rats, he will definitely die.
The two sides of the original melee became even more chaotic, especially the scar man, the moment he found the stone rat tide, he immediately lost his formation in panic, and the scar man directly rushed out. The limit speed of the seventh-level cultivator could reach one hundred and fifty meters per breath, and although he was limited in the dense forest, under his desperate efforts, all the obstacles along the way were shattered by his powerful attacks, and everyone was instantly left behind.
As soon as the rest of the black-clothed people reacted, they also desperately dispersed, and they directly threw the divine weapons in their hands into the air, turning their heads and running wildly, completely ignoring the impact of the fog on their vision.
"Don't panic. Jing Chao roared, and then the battle knife drew a brilliant arc of light. Boom, the earth collapsed, and countless tree trunks fell sideways, blocking the path of the stone rat tide.
"Triple waves of flowing clouds. ”
Like the sound of waves crashing against the stone wall, I saw the endless blue streamer not far away like a tsunami coming, spreading out layer by layer, and everywhere I went, all the stone rats turned into a blood mist. At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Jing Chao, it was Ye Tianxun's mentor - Gu Huahao.
"I'm going to inform the military forces in Weishui City, help will come soon. Now there is only one road to the south, hold on for a while, be careful. After speaking, Gu Huahao disappeared in one jump, and the direction of disappearance was the direction in which he left Ye Tianxun before.
Gu Huahao's set of attacks bought everyone a short reaction time, and everyone quickly untied the reins of the black dragon horses, whipped them a few times, and let them run from all directions. Then they quickly marched towards the south, not caring about the four carts of divine soldiers, compared to life, the divine soldiers worth 20,000 gold coins suddenly seemed insignificant.
"Steward Liu, what should I do with the eldest lady?" several Lu family guards hurriedly said to the man surnamed Liu.
The man surnamed Liu's face was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We don't know the specific location of the eldest lady at all, and now we can only follow the people of the Drifting Cloud Sect to retreat first!"
――――――
Ye Tian is looking for Lu Shui Yan is on the way to find a large team.
"You were brave today. Lu Shuiyan on her back leaned on Ye Tianxun's shoulder and said approvingly.
Ye Tianxun sighed, "Actually, I'm very scared in my heart, I didn't have the courage to fight that spy before, and I'm not qualified yet." ”
Lu Shuiyan smiled, "But you saved me, in my opinion, you are already a qualified cultivator." ”
Ye Tianxun smiled reluctantly, and suddenly, his smile suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Sensing the change in Ye Tianxun, Lu Shuiyan asked suspiciously.
Ye Tianxun fell into deep thought, and just now he dimly sensed that a large number of lifeforms were gathering in the distance, which was the most dangerous feeling he had ever had. Ye Tianxun carefully sensed the surrounding environment, and suddenly found that he could barely sense the breath of any fierce beast within a radius of several miles, which was almost impossible in the mountain range where the fierce beast had reappeared.
"I suddenly remembered that there was a record of animal tides in the Hengduan Mountains. After pondering for a moment, Ye Tianxun said in a slight panic.
"Are you worried that there will be a beast tide?" Lu Shuiyan is also a smart person, and she guessed what Ye Tianxun was thinking at once.
Ye Tianxun nodded, his special ability to sense the environment was an innate talent, he never made a mistake, and the feeling of many lifeforms gathering in the distance was extremely strong.
Lu Shuiyan chuckled: "You think too much." It's rare for a beast tide to happen once in decades, how could we be so unlucky. ”
"I hope so. Ye Tianxun also hoped that he had thought too much, but after just a few breaths, his face changed drastically.
"There is definitely a beast tide!" Ye Tianxun's legs suddenly exerted strength, and he ran directly towards the south, because the south was the direction of the non-dangerous aura he sensed.
Lu Shuiyan on her back was completely in a state of confusion, "Is there really a beast tide?" she couldn't believe it, but seeing Ye Tianxun's state of fleeing for her life at this time, it shouldn't seem like a random judgment.
The fog dissipated somewhat, but it still affected the vision, and the night sky was like lightning, flashing like a flutter, and as flexible as an ape.
Ye Tianxun didn't notice that as he ran, the gaze of a figure stayed on him for a moment, his gaze hesitated for a moment, and finally disappeared.
After a quarter of an hour, the fog had become soft
At this time, Ye Tianxun's expression moved, "I sense the team, but it doesn't seem right." ”
"Boom, boom, boom. There was a turmoil ahead, and I saw the scarred man dressed in rags, with wounds all over his body, rampage all the way. At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, and his legs were also unconscious, and he was supported by the idea of survival. Before, he blindly fled for his life and fell into the siege of stone rats, but fortunately, there were not many stone rats surrounding him, and he rushed out with strong force, but he ended up in this tragic situation.
In front of the scar man were Jing Chao and others, Jing Chao was holding the Shadow War Knife, and while rushing forward, he slashed out the Dao Dao Mang, and wherever the scar went, all the obstacles turned into powder, which made everyone hurry up much faster.
Sensing the scarred man behind him, Jing Chao sneered, "You can't live by yourself." ”
Suddenly, the scarred man stopped, and his blood-red eyes suddenly looked at the location of Ye Tianxun.
"Oh no!" was shocked because he immediately understood what the man in front of him was trying to do. In a desperate situation, some people will always become very scary, terrible and crazy.
"Haha. The scar man smiled evilly and went straight to the right rear, and his speed was actually increased by a cut, which was the effect of the extreme squeezing himself.
"Ye Tianxun!" Jing Chao was also immediately aware of Ye Tianxun's existence, and after seeing the scarred man's movements, his face instantly turned ugly, "Didn't Deacon Gu take him to a safe place?"
"Looking for death!" Jing Chao's legs appeared, like a peng spreading his wings, sweeping a long trajectory in the air, and a leap was hundreds of meters.
"Dawn stabs. ”
The Xuan Pattern on the Flame Shadow War Knife was bright to the limit, and countless blue air currents were intertwined, and in a trance, it seemed that he saw a colorful brocade chicken in the air looking up to the sky and crowing. Suddenly, the sky and the earth were dark for a moment, and in just a moment, a bright arc of light burst into brilliant light, like the sun falling to the ground.
This is Jing Chao's strongest move. Dawn knife technique, mortal-level high-grade martial arts, slashed out with one knife, and the night becomes dawn. If it was in the past, it would have been difficult for Jing Chao to use this move, but at this time, with the blessing of the magic weapon Flame Shadow War Knife, it was not only successfully used, but also even more powerful.
"What a strong attack. Although he lost his mind, the man with the scar did not lose his sense of danger, and when he saw the dawn of the sword slashing fiercely, he immediately retreated into the distance, trying to dodge the blow.
But how can the power of martial arts be dodged at will? When the upper cultivation condenses the Xuan Pattern, it has already formed a certain connection with the environment of heaven and earth, and under this connection, the attack has a certain lock, and the stronger the connection, the higher the lock, and the more difficult it is to dodge. Although Jing Chao is only a seventh-level cultivator, and the connection is not strong, it is also difficult for the scar man to dodge.
Poof
The knife grazed the scarred man's right shoulder, and an arm was thrown into the air, blood gushing down. At the same time, Ye Tianxun took the opportunity to rush to the vicinity of the team.
"Great, Miss, you're alright. Seeing Lu Shuiyan, who was looking for peace on her back in the night, a group of men surnamed Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Just as Ye Tianxun was about to hand over Lu Shuiyan to the man surnamed Liu, "Hehe." Wang Dong in the distance smiled miserably, only to see the Xuan pattern on his right leg appear, and he kicked a boulder under his feet to pieces, and countless gravel shot at several times the speed of sound towards the people in the night sky.
"Ahh......h
Whew...... Ye Tianxun's spirit was extremely concentrated, and his steps were ethereal, and he actually dodged all the rubble that shot at him, but the speed of his progress was much slower.
"How is this possible?" The man surnamed Liu's face was full of disbelief, he could easily dodge the attack from behind while carrying someone on his back, he couldn't believe that this was something that a lower cultivator could do, because even as a sixth-level cultivator, he couldn't do it.
"Your eldest lady will be protected by me. "In the current situation, it is obvious that only Ye Tianxun, who has excellent perception, can ensure Lu Shuiyan's safety.
Jing Chao was even more angry and launched an offensive again. The scarred man roared angrily, and blood broke out from the wounds all over his body. "Die with me. He kept shifting his form and changing positions, and while dodging the sword qi, he kept shooting the boulders around him at Ye Tianxun and the others.
Under the interference of the scarred man, the speed of everyone's progress was greatly reduced. Boom, the earth shook, obviously, the stone rat tide was approaching everyone!
Jing Chao's face was ugly, the tide of stone rats was close at hand, and if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by stone rats immediately. But he can't leave yet, and if he doesn't kill the scarred man, maybe he'll rush into the crowd and bring huge casualties.
At this time, the man surnamed Liu glanced at Lu Shuiyan, who was lying quietly on the back of the night sky, and suddenly stopped.
"Them?" Ye Tianxun glanced back quickly, and he understood the intentions of the man surnamed Liu and the others. He thought of Lu Shuiyan's words in his heart, "...... The most important thing a cultivator should do is to know that he cannot do it. I didn't understand what that meant, but I didn't understand it until the day of the family disaster. ”
Ye Tianxun sighed in his heart: "Take care." Immediately, his legs exerted his strength again, trying to distance himself from the stone rat tide, and a human wall had been built behind him......
Ye Tianxun didn't know what he was feeling in his heart at this time, but he felt as if his heart was blocked by something intangible.
Maybe life and death are nothing more than that. Just like when Ye Tianxun saw Yang Pingshan and several guards die a few days ago, although he knew that in the world of choosing cultivators, contact with death would become a "common thing", but he still couldn't accept it calmly.
