Chapter Seventy-One: Race against time and fight in all directions

Aoki Lin pulled Wang Kun and said: "Sixth, you go to help Fu Ke, he has been out for so long and has not come back, I'm afraid it's dangerous, you go to investigate secretly, if there is an accident, come back and report it quickly." ”

Wang Kun nodded, disappeared into the night, and disappeared.

Aoki's side hadn't seen any movement in the past seven days since they had encountered a group of centaur soldiers seven days earlier and ambushed them on the side of a hill.

In the past two days, everyone has even deliberately exposed their whereabouts, but there are still no pursuers coming, which makes everyone even more nervous.

After everyone discussed, they felt that they should send someone to investigate first, but they should not be in a hurry to startle the snake, and then return to discuss countermeasures after finding out the news.

Fu Ke volunteered, he was originally a dart master, and he has been in Kanchanaburi for many years, and he knows more about the situation in Kanchanaburi than anyone else, and everyone thinks that it is most suitable for him to go.

Aoki Lin and Wang Kun were also ready to go together, but Fu Ke said: "Since you have already said not to startle the snake, we should try not to reveal our identities, it is not good if there are too many people." ”

Everyone was right, so he went to the town alone, while the others hid behind a small hill.

However, from after dinner, until it was dark, and he didn't return, Aoki Lin couldn't sit still, so he asked Wang Kun to go and have a look.

Wang Kun went out for only a while, and then came back with Fu Ke, and there were three more people with him, who turned out to be Xu Xun, Peng Mu and a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons and One Heart Sect.

Qing Mu Lin looked at Peng Mu who was seriously injured, his face was blue and white in the moonlight, very scary, and he was supported by Wang Kun. And Xu Xun and the disciple of the Ten Thousand Poisons and One Heart Sect also had minor injuries, covered in wind and dust, and the whole seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Aoki Lin and a few fellow Daoists hurriedly stepped forward to pick them up and asked, "What's the matter? Second Brother and Eighth Brother, why are you here? What about the other fellow Daoists?"

Xu Xun shook his head and said: "We were caught up by Mitarion's cavalry, outnumbered, and sacrificed a lot of comrades, we went separately, I thought it would be better to disperse the enemy army, but the hateful thing is that they actually have a team of knights!" he said, clenching his fists with a clucking sound.

Aoki Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, I can't blame you, we have already prepared for the worst before we set off." Are the three of you the only ones who escaped? The Zeng brothers and Mei Shenshi also ......."

Xu Xun stared at the ground stunned for a while, and then shook his head and said: "Lao Ba was injured, he and I were originally going to the south to break through, but unfortunately the enemy army had expected our way out, and we were forced back by several teams of cavalry, so we had to go west, at that time everyone had been scattered, there were battles in several places, I only saw a team of knights on the other side of the other side killing along the north, along the road there were our people falling, vaguely saw the Zeng brothers also walking in the same direction as us, but they were more north, and then I never saw them again." ”

Fu Ke walked over and said, "I went into the city to inquire, this place is relatively remote, the people in the city don't know about us, and there are not many guards. So I went out of the city, and as soon as I walked out of the first or second mile, I saw Brother Xu carrying Brother Peng on his back and preparing to enter the city. As soon as I saw that Brother Peng was injured, I hurriedly helped go into the city to buy medicine, and when I came back, I saw that Brother Wang was also here, and we came back together. ”

Aoki Lin asked, "The eighth child's injury is okay, right?"

Fu Ke said: "It's all skin trauma, it's not a big deal, but they are too tired, and Brother Peng's wounds have not been treated, and they have lost too much blood, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover in a short time." ”

Aoki Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, second brother and this brother, you can eat something first." ”

Xu Xun waved his hand and said, "Brother Fu bought us some bread and water just now, we have eaten it, and now there is no big problem." The eighth asked him to rest, and we still discussed the next step first. ”

"Oh, by the way, this is Wu Renjia of all poisons and one heart, Brother Wu, thanks to him, we can get rid of the pursuers. ”

Aoki Lin and Wu Renjia met, and everyone went to the fire to discuss the next step.

Xu Xun said: "Judging from the current situation, Mitarion seems to have discovered our intentions, your way has been ignored by them, and our way has also been broken by them, I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Honghuazi?"

Aoki Lin said: "I'll put a grass kite over first, tell them about the situation here, and let them be prepared." ”

Xu Xun nodded and said: "I also want to remind them, don't fight hard, be prepared to disperse and retreat, how long can it be delayed." It's been more than ten days, and the people should have walked a long way, as long as it drags on for another ten days and half a month, Mitarion will no longer be able to catch up. ”

Wang Kun said: "Shall we also bring a letter to Senior Brother Zhao Yan?"

Xu Xun shook his head and said, "No, it's still unclear whether Mitarion has discovered our true intentions, let's take a look at the situation on Senior Brother Honghuazi's side first." If it is intercepted by Mitarion, the people will be exposed, and with the speed of Mitarion's cavalry, I am afraid that the people are not safe enough now. ”

Aoki Lin got up and went to put the grass kite, Fu Ke said, "What should we do now?

Wu Renjia said: "It's not safe in the south, we definitely can't go, and we have walked all the way, I feel that the enemy army in the south is already advancing here, I'm afraid it won't be long before we come here, I propose that we reroute to the northwest, go to join Honghuazi and them, the strength is stronger, and we can drag more enemy troops." ”

Xu Xun said: "I have discussed it with Brother Wu on the road, and I agree with his point of view, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

A disciple of the Shenwei Hall said, "Now that we have achieved our mission, of course we don't want to die in vain, so why don't we go back to the north and escort the people?"

Fu Ke said: "If we turn around now, I'm afraid we will be caught in the net." Along the way, we have all encountered the search party of Mitarion, and the enemy brigade must be behind us, and we don't know where they are going, but the reconnaissance will definitely be more rigorous, and we will not be killing ourselves when we go back?"

Xu Xun said: "Yes, at this moment, going to meet Senior Brother Honghuazi and them, and then going to the northwest is probably the only way out for us." ”

The disciple of the Divine Power Hall thought for a moment, and finally did not speak again.

Another disciple of Sunset Mountain Villa said, "What if Honghuazi's side is also the same as your south side and has been wiped out by the enemy?"

Aoki Lin said with a smile: "How can the disciples of Sunset Mountain Villa be greedy for life and afraid of death?"

The disciple stood up and said angrily: "If I were greedy for life and afraid of death, I would not have followed you to this desperate road in the first place, I just didn't want to die in vain, and I just died silently!"

Aoki Lin also stood up and said loudly: "Fellow channel brothers, everyone chose this path, of course, they came with the determination to die, the lives of more than 100 of us can save the lives of nearly 10,000 hometown fathers and elders, how can we say that we died in vain? If Senior Brother Honghuazi is no longer here, can't we fight to the death? Even if Mitarion wants to keep us, it can't make it easy for them to stay, how can we say that we died silently? Moreover, you are all elite talents who have been sent out by various sects to train or become masters of art, will Mitarion definitely be able to keep us? My second brother and eighth brother have only a few dozen people all the way, and they can still escape under the siege of thousands of enemy cavalry, so aren't we as good as dozens of them with nearly 100 people along the way?"

Aoki Lin's words made everyone thunderous, and a few people from various sects who couldn't sit still jumped up and said: "Brother Xia Yan, how can you let Mitarion be underestimated?

Aoki Lin hurriedly beckoned everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Since the decision has been made, everyone should have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will move towards the northwest." ”

Xu Xun nodded and said, "I believe that Senior Brother Honghuazi's reply should also arrive at that time." ”

In the dark night sky, a few stars flickered and dimmed, and in the silent night, there was only the sound of the campfire "crackling" and beating.

"Senior Brother Xuanyi's true power is exhausted, go and come down for him!" Honghuazi, who was wearing a light cyan Dao crown and was wearing a light cyan Dao robe, was holding a disciple of the Divine Fire Sect in his hand, and was sending a fiery red pill to his mouth, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that a disciple of the Dao Yuan Palace had exhausted his true power, and he was slowly kneeling on the ground.

Another disciple of Daoyuan Palace hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xuanyi down, and Honghuazi put the Divine Fire Sect disciple in his hand flat on the ground, and rushed over to feed Xuanyi a pill.

At the moment, they were in a cave, and there were only a dozen of them. And the outside of the cave was leaked by Mitarion. Thousands of cavalry formed a semi-circular formation, and hundreds of other magicians took turns unleashing various colors of magic into the cavern, such as flames, ice crystals, whirlwinds, and a greater number of various elemental creatures, ready to rush into the cavern.

Half a day earlier, they had passed through the Minas Forest and entered a hilly area. Locals call this the Minas Hill, and through this hill, you reach the west coast of Kanchanaburi.

Honghuazi was rejoicing that he would soon be able to complete his mission, turning north to join the large army, and at this time, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison One Heart Sect who was in charge of reconnaissance in the rear came with news that a small group of Mitarion's cavalry was approaching in the rear.

Honghuazi consulted with several leading disciples of various factions, and felt that the other party was not many in number and could take the other party down, so they set up an ambush in the Minas hills, preparing to take the other party by surprise.

Unexpectedly, when they suddenly attacked and forced the opponent to death at once, the commander of the opposing party had no fear, but calmly commanded his subordinates to resist.

Honghuazi immediately felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ignore the enemy army in front of him, so he had to let Qunhao attack with all his might, trying to quickly solve this small group of cavalry.

Just as the battle between the two sides was in full swing, Mitarion's cavalry quietly appeared around the battlefield, along with hundreds of Mitarion's magicians.

These cavalry formed a formation, swarming down from the surrounding highlands, with a rainbow of momentum, and with the assistance of magicians from the side, the Dao methods of the heroes did not cause damage to the cavalry at all, but were quickly dispersed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Honghuazi retreated to the center of the hill with Qunhao, but where could the manpower outrun the cavalry, and Qunhao was constantly chased and besieged by the cavalry.

When they retreated to this cave, there were only more than ten people left in the hundreds, but fortunately, the entrance to this cave was narrow, and only one person could enter, and several Taoist friends joined forces to close the entrance of the cave, so that the other party's pursuers could not rush in.

However, this cave is also a dead end, although Honghuazi and others have saved their lives, they have also been forced into a dead end. Mitarion surrounded the entrance to the cave and began to send people to rush in, but after losing a few people, hundreds of their magicians prepared to use magic to force the passage open.

The magicians formed a formation outside the cave, and the ban on the entrance of the cave was quickly broken. Qunhao had to impose another ban, and Mitarion broke it again, so on both sides of this cave, Mitarion's magicians and Qunhao started a tug-of-war between prohibition and breaking.

Honghuazi is a senior disciple of Daoyuan Palace, Daoyuan Palace can be regarded as the first sect of the world's outer pills, relying on Honghuazi's refined elixir, more than ten people and hundreds of magicians in Mitarion have spent a full half a day, and nearly half of Mitarion's magicians have exhausted their mana.

Xuanyi was helped to Honghuazi's side, and Honghuazi poured out all the remaining pills in the pill bag, leaving only four red ammunition and more than a dozen white pills. Honghuazi sighed softly and said, "Senior brothers, I don't have much elixir on my body, instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death, maybe there is still a way to live." As he spoke, he gave one of the white pills on his body to each person, and then gave the red pills to the three disciples of the Divine Fire Sect and the Dao Yuan Palace, and said, "The white pill can heal injuries and remove poison, and the red pill is to replenish the vitality of the Dao Law." Everyone brought a white pill with them, and they could heal their wounds. Then he deliberately said to the three disciples of the Divine Fire Sect and the Dao Yuan Palace: "The three of you are good at attacking and injuring the enemy's Dao method strongly, you will do the first wave of offensive later, go all out to beat the strongest Dao method, and open the passage for the senior brothers behind, don't care about the loss of Dao vitality, the red pill can help you replenish, understand?" The three of them nodded in unison.

Honghuazi saw that Xuanyi had also come over, Huo Ran got up, and said to the three fellow Daoists who were trying to seal the ban at the entrance of the cave: "Everyone stop, let's kill it!"

The Mitarian magicians at the entrance of the cave only felt that the power of confrontation in the cave suddenly disappeared, and the prohibition at the entrance of the cave was broken almost instantly. But before they could come back to their senses, several surging fire dragons surged out with a strong Gangfeng, and several magicians closest to the entrance of the cave were hit head-on by the fire dragon Gangfeng, and without even making a sound, they were torn into several pieces by the Gangfeng and disappeared into the surging fire dragons.

Immediately following the fire dragon and the wind, more than a dozen fearless figures flashed from the darkness of the cave entrance, and on the hill opposite the cave entrance, Mitarion's commander showed a hideous smile, and with a wave of his right hand, a rain of arrows shot at the figure of the group of heroes.

The sky was white, and Aoki Lin, Xu Xun and the others looked at the sleeping Peng Mu, his face had eased a lot, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Aoki Lin said: "Second brother, do you think we can go back to our hometown?"

Xu Xun shook his head and said: "I don't know, but we must not give up, the master said that even if there is only one percent hope, we must do one hundred percent of our efforts, and we should believe that Lao Qi, he will definitely come back with rescuers." ”

Aoki Lin also nodded vigorously.

On the vast sea, the waves are calm. Guo Xinzhu tried his best to manipulate the flying sword, and Chenguang closed his eyes and sat down at the end of the flying sword, his face full of gray.

Guo Xinzhu looked at the morning light, gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on a little longer, we will be there soon." ”

Chenguang raised his eyelids vigorously, his eyes were full of blood red, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Don't care about me anymore, you have been flying alone for three days and three nights, and your vitality is overdrawn, and if you take me like this, even you will not be able to reach the Shenzhou Continent." Guo Xinzhu bit her lip, but did not speak.

Chenguang looked at her, laboriously took out a sparkling pearl from his bosom, and said to Guo Xinzhu: "This is the Xuanzhu of the water, I will give you the formula, and then I will wait for you on this sea, you find a rescuer and come to save me." ”

Guo Xinzhu said: "Don't talk nonsense, you are highly poisoned, throwing you down is just to feed the fish, we have been flying for more than 20 days, I believe we will be there soon, you hold on a little longer." ”

Chenguang shook his head, and only cared about reciting the mantra of the water Xuanzhu. Guo Xinzhu covered her ears and shouted, "I don't listen! You don't want me to leave alone!"

Chenguang smiled and said: "There is only one mantra, I believe you should remember it, if you don't remember it, I can't help it." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sea again and smiled: "I have been drifting on the sea for dozens of days, and I have not fed the fish, this time I am highly poisoned, and the fish will not eat me." ”

Guo Xinzhu seemed to have discovered something, stopped the flying sword, but Chenguang pointed to the direction of the sunset with a trembling hand, and said: "Go, follow the guidance of the sun, you can return to your hometown soon, please be sure to save the people from your hometown from the Beichanaburi continent, if you can, also come and save me." As he spoke, he pulled out a smile at Guan Xinzhu, tilted his body, and fell towards the blue sea.
