Chapter 112: The Great War against the Dark Phoenix
After walking about thirty paces, the three of them had not yet reached the opposite bank, but the drawbridge shook even more.
The entire suspension bridge was like a big pendulum at this time, and at its highest, the bodies of the three people were almost parallel to the ground level.
At this moment, the three of them heard the cry of a bird of prey.
Following the voice, they all pointed the magic weapons in their hands towards the possible bird of prey.
"This, it may be some kind of eagle demon beast, in this kind of cloud, they rely on the return of sound to determine the location of their prey, everyone should be careful."
Suddenly, Ji Chen felt a crisis coming from his right, and he hurriedly pointed the tip of his sword to the right.
With a "bell", Ji Chen was driven to the left front by the violent impact, and then fell to the ground.
"Be careful, it's very powerful, get down!" Ji Chen reminded the two.
Wu Hui and Guan Zhilan immediately paused, looked around, and listened carefully with their ears.
"Chirp", a bird call sounded from the left of several people.
I saw a black shadow, in the clouds and mist, swooping down towards Guan Zhilan from left to right.
"Be careful!"
By the time Ji Chen saw the black shadow clearly, the two claws on the black shadow had already grabbed Guan Zhilan's long sword.
Guan Zhilan grabbed the rope of the suspension bridge with one hand, and the sword in her hand with the other, and focused on the black shadow horn.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the black shadow holding Guan Zhilan's flying sword was actually a black-feathered peacock.
The peacock flapped its wings vigorously, hoping to snatch Guan Zhilan away from the bridge. While screaming loudly, hoping to interfere with Guan Zhilan and make her unable to use all her strength.
Guan Zhilan also mobilized the spiritual power of her whole body to compete with the peacock.
But compared to strength, where are humans the opponents of demon beasts?
I saw Guan Zhilan slowly standing upright, and the suspension bridge naturally hung down, and then it became that Guan Zhilan and the suspension bridge were parallel to the ground.
And the rope on the suspension bridge that was pulled by Guan Zhilan has begun to deform. The connection between the rope and the wooden planks of the suspension bridge deck also began to be pulled up by Guan Zhilan one by one.
"Let it go!" Ji Chen shouted at Guan Zhilan.
Ji Chen estimated that this black peacock must be some kind of alien species, and its strength was huge, and with Guan Zhilan's current strength, it must not be its opponent.
And all this happened between lightning and flint, and Ji Chen didn't have time to use the flying sword.
Guan Zhilan heard Ji Chen shouting to herself, and she didn't know how to deal with such a big demon beast for a while.
So as Ji Chen said, he let go of the hand holding the sword.
The black peacock lost its strength and immediately fell backwards, its pair of claws snatching the sword away.
Ji Chen saw that the black peacock had disappeared for the time being, so he took Guan Zhilan's hand, sped up his speed, and ran forward.
After running for a while, Ji Chen saw that there were white clouds and mist in front of him and behind him, but he couldn't reach the other side.
At this moment, the familiar birdsong sounded above the heads of several people.
Ji Chen hurriedly took out two "puppet talismans", plucked out his and Guan Zhilan's hair, wrapped them around the puppet talismans, and then threw them in front of him.
Another Ji Chen and a Guan Zhilan appeared on the suspension bridge, and they ran forward hard.
And Ji Chen shouted and lay down.
The three of them were lying on the suspension bridge at the same time.
Then Ji Chen felt that the black peacock, with a cold wind, swept over the heads of the three people, grabbed the two puppets, took off into the air, and flew into the distance.
After a while, Ji Chen couldn't feel the breath of the black peacock, so he stood up and continued to hurry.
The further you went inside, the thinner the air became, and there was a peculiar scent.
I don't know how long the people walked, but slowly, the three of them felt the world spinning and fainted.
"Uh", Ji Chen shook his head and sat up.
"Are you awake? Just wake up! An unfamiliar voice rang out.
Ji Chen opened his eyes and looked around.
It is a house made of wood, and the tables, chairs, and beds are all made of wood.
Talking, listening to voices, was a young woman, a mortal.
But looking at her appearance, she wore a white veil on her face and a small white round hat on her head.
"You are?"
The woman didn't answer, but said, "I'll go and call the village chief!" ”
Ji Chen sat up and walked out with him.
As soon as he went out, Ji Chen stayed for a while, then returned to the room, and then poked his head out and looked out.
The sun was harsh outside, and the temperature was quite high. It's just that after staying for a while, Ji Chen's face has a burning feeling.
And the ground outside the door was full of sand and gravel, and there was not a trace of dirt.
And the periphery of the house was all stones.
Originally, it was a house with an outer ring of stone and an inner ring of wood.
After a while, the woman entered the house with an old man and a young man.
Looking at the people who came, Ji Chen could see that several people were mortals, but their clothes were different from the outside world.
Because the old man and the young man, both of whom were also wearing veils and hats, showed only a pair of eyes outside. The whole body is also tightly wrapped, and the image cannot be seen clearly.
"Are you awake? Outsiders! The old man said.
"Where is this, I have two friends, where are they?" Ji Chen asked.
"Your two friends haven't woken up yet, but they're all right, they're in the opposite room, and they should be awake in a while. As for where this is, you wait a moment, and when both of your friends wake up, I'll tell you. ”
"Can I meet my friends, then?"
"Hehe, of course. But before you go out, you should apply this ointment to avoid getting sunburned. ”
The woman took out a wooden box containing a green plaster.
Ji Chen looked at the woman, the woman smiled slightly, picked a little with her fingers, and applied it to her hand.
Ji Chen saw that the woman's hand had only become smoother, and there was nothing else unusual.
He then applied the ointment to his exposed skin, and as soon as he finished applying it, a feeling of coolness spread all over his body. Even the slight burns just now are slowly recovering.
"Senior, your ointment is really good."
All three laughed when they heard this.
"Hehe, I'm not a senior, I'm just an ordinary mortal. I am the head of this village, you can call me Village Chief Gan, or call me Uncle Gan. ”
Village Chief Gan pointed to the young man and the woman on the side and said, "His name is Limeng, and her name is Yueyi." ”
Then, the three of them took Ji Chen to another big house, which was the village council hall and the largest house in the village.
It didn't take long for someone to walk in with Guan Zhilan and Wu Hui.
Ji Chen saw that the two of them were fine, so he was relieved.
Then, the village chief Gan introduced them to the village.
