Chapter 42: Junction
The highest cultivation among the four of them was Cao Lingyan, who was at the beginning of the foundation building period. The second is Ye Yousheng who is in the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period, and the rest of Qiu Sixian and Qin Zhen are all at the seventh level of the Qi Refining Period.
And the demon beasts surrounding them, to say the least, there are dozens of them, although there is no problem to fight alone, but once there are many of them, it is inevitable that they will have too many scruples and be difficult to parry.
Cao Lingyan clenched his sword: "Let's deal with one side first, you two hold on for a while, and Ye Daoyou and I will help you after solving our own side." ”
Although Qin Zhen didn't seem to have any combat power on the surface, she knew her ability and was prepared, so she didn't have any panic about it. It's just that although Ye Yousheng is now moving freely, she has just been poisoned, and her state can't be seen as usual, so she looked at Ye Yousheng with some concern.
Ye Yousheng felt Qin Hao's gaze and shook his head at her gently, signaling that he was fine.
There was not much time left for them to recuperate, and the surrounding demon beasts were vigilant for a while, and when a loud howl came from the back of the demon beast group, the entire demon beast group became restless, roaring and rushing towards the four of them.
The four of them looked at each other and then dispersed.
Qin Hao's right hand moved, and on the wrist that was covered by the sleeve, the black snake jade bracelet did not react at all, and seemed to be just sleeping quietly, just like an ordinary bracelet.
Qin Hao couldn't hold the weapon in her hand, looking at the demon beasts that rushed straight over, she jumped into the air on her toes, her hands were staggered in the air, a huge circle of light appeared from under her feet, and the green branches stretched out from the aperture, curling and winding towards the demon beasts below.
This branch is not the same as usual.
Although it looks thin and soft, it is actually very tough, and after a branch wraps around the body of the demon beast, it divides into many small branches and wraps around the limbs of the demon beast.
Qin Zhen took advantage of this gap to glance at the other three.
Ye Yousheng didn't look weak, and he was comfortable dealing with the demon beasts. Qiu Sixian's side was jumping with chickens and dogs, he seemed to be just playing with those demon beasts, and from time to time he led them to Cao Lingyan's side, and only laughed a few times after hearing Cao Lingyan scold him angrily.
The cultivation of these demon beasts was not high, and it didn't take long for the four of them to solve it.
They each came back closer, and although they relaxed a little, they still remained vigilant in order to prevent the accident from breaking out again.
"Why are they attacking us for no apparent reason?" Cao Lingyan glanced around, and there was no trace of other demon beasts yet.
Qin Hao looked down at the corpses of those demon beasts, as soon as their corpses touched the ground, they immediately disappeared, and they didn't even leave any traces of fighting, as if the battle just now was just a dream, but the four of them kept standing in place.
"Who knows what the monster thinks?" Qiu Sixian said casually.
Qin Hao said suddenly, "Before they attacked just now, didn't there be a louder beast roar from the rear?" ”
Ye Yousheng understood what she meant, but he was still puzzled: "However, among the demon beasts we fought just now, none of them are strong enough to dominate them. ”
"Forget it, it's useless to think so much, let's go back first." Qiu Sixian shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the crack in Qin Hao's teleportation formation, "It's all done now?" Is this just left alone? ”
"I'll ...... later" As soon as Qin Zhen spoke, the Spirit Gathering Array in her body suddenly began to operate rapidly.
An unknown, dying premonition enveloped her.
Qin Hao raised her hand to block, but her speed was not as fast as the oncoming attack. She only heard Ye Yousheng's shouting, and the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, followed by the sound of broken bones in her body.
She collapsed on the moat, and the barrier automatically recognized as attacked, warning those holding the Suzerain's Token. And the crack that was originally waiting quietly in the corner of the protective formation swam wildly.
Qin Zhen only felt a suction force coming from behind her, pulling her injured back, and the cracks in one arm that could only expand violently, devouring her whole person.
At the last moment when the crack was about to swim away, she struggled to throw the sect master token that was still ringing in her hand to Ye Yousheng.
"Senior sister!" Ye Yousheng only had time to catch the Sect Master Token, his hand grabbed the crack in the city protection formation, but he could only watch the crack swim away like a fish, and it disappeared in front of his eyes at once.
He could also sense the teleportation formation laid by Qin Hao, and he was about to step on it without hesitation.
"You're going to look for her now to hurt her!" Qiu Sixian's eyes were quick, and he dragged Ye Yousheng back the moment before the teleportation formation was about to start.
"Lingyan." Qiu Sixian glanced at Cao Lingyan.
"......" Cao Lingyan was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth or raised his sword, and stabbed towards the center of the teleportation array.
With a loud bang, the teleportation array that had just been laid out was shattered, turning into ownerless spiritual power and disappearing into the air.
Ye Yousheng clenched the Sect Master Token in his hand, and it seemed that Qin Zhen's body temperature was still left on it.
But he didn't get angry this time, he just looked at Qiu Sixian calmly: "If someone comes over later, I will say that the two of you are the people I found for Senior Sister to help repair the city protection formation." As for the senior sister, she went back to the sect to deal with the matter of recruiting new disciples. Because I was worried that we would not have identity credentials, I left the Sect Master Token with me before leaving. ”
Senior sister has an accident, he must not let the current situation worse, he has to calm down and think about how to deal with the problems for a while.
If the city protection formation is attacked, it will be notified to the other people who hold the suzerain's token, and the teleportation formation here has not had time to be concealed, and it must be destroyed before the others come, otherwise it will be a clear handle.
Saving my sister doesn't mean throwing away all my reason and making meaningless sacrifices.
He believes in his sister, and he also believes in his sister's trust in him, so he must learn to handle all this in his sister's way. He will stabilize those who are knocking on the side and delay time for Senior Sister, who will definitely protect herself on the other side of the Protective Formation.
The teleportation array is gone, and he can still find a way to reopen the passage for his senior sister. But if he is also impulsive, then no matter how many teleportation arrays are opened, he will not be able to save his senior sister.
Cao Lingyan looked at his sword with a complicated expression.
Although she didn't trust Qin Zhen and was on guard against her everywhere, she didn't think about harming her.
However, just now, it was she who personally destroyed the teleportation array, ruining Qin Hao's hope of coming back. Even if he wanted to say that he did this for the good of everyone, he really sacrificed Qin Hao.
Qiu Sixian noticed her emotions, shook her fan and comforted, "Let's find a way to rearrange the teleportation array and take her back." She'll understand what we're doing and won't blame you. ”
Cao Lingyan put the sword back into the scabbard: "Did you see clearly what attacked her just now?" ”
"No, that's too fast." Qiu Sixian shook his head, "But it should go straight to Qin Daoyou, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stand here like this now." ”
……
The noisy turbulence echoed in his ears, and Qin Zhen subconsciously covered her ears, but she still couldn't stop the noise from seeping into her brain through her eardrums.
There was a piercing pain in the abdomen, and there seemed to be something sharp on it, pressing on the wound.
Qin Zhen struggled to open her eyes.
The black snake jade bracelet on his wrist turned into the appearance of the snake bone again, tightly binding Qin Hao. The snake's head bit on the branch, and the sticky black mist covered Qin Hao, and the snake body tied Qin Hao to prevent her from falling from the tree.
Sensing Qin Hao wake up, the black snake turned its head and spit out the snake letter at Qin Zhen in a solemn manner.
Immediately, the black mist dissipated, and the black snake's body dissolved into the black mist, lying quietly on Qin Hao's wrist again.
Without the support of the black snake, Qin Hao fell from the tree, fortunately there was grass underneath, and she fell into the dense grass, and her body was cushioned, which did not make the injury worse.
She pressed her trembling hand against the top of her abdomen.
Spiritual power spilled from her palm, covering the wound in her abdomen, causing it to heal slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. But at the same time, the poison that had been adsorbed in the body also became active, burning Qin Hao's bones and flesh.
She closed her eyes and continued to heal, not allowing herself to bother with the pain.
This is her sharing the price of poison gas for Ye Yousheng.
On Ye Yousheng's birthday, she originally thought that she already had a way to solve his poison, and she was going to surprise him, and she wanted to tell him after it was completely successful.
However, she still underestimated the strength of this toxicity, and the elixir prepared in advance was useless, so she could only use herself as a container for poison gas to share Ye Yousheng's pain.
In order to suppress the poisonous gas that had just arrived in her body, she had to retreat for a while, and therefore missed Ye Yousheng's birthday. By the time she came out of retreat, it was already half a month later.
She didn't want to tell Ye Yousheng what she had done, after all, she originally wanted to help him get rid of the poison gas completely, but now there is still a part of it left in his body, even if she says it, it is just like saying "Look how good I am to you, I am willing to share the poison gas myself, even if I don't do what I say to detoxify you, you can't blame me", it is simply making up for his incompetence.
So she kept silent and only said that she had something to do and went out for a while.
She could see the loss in Ye Yousheng's eyes clearly, but he still didn't have any objections to her words as usual, just accepted it like that, and thoughtfully didn't ask questions.
The wound in the abdomen healed.
Although the broken bones inside have been connected with spiritual power, it will take a long time to recuperate before they can grow completely.
Qin Hao struggled to stand up from the grass, the sun was shining, and the tip of her nose still had the fragrance of grass.
"Master, there's someone ahead!"
What was supposed to be a no-man's border between the two states was heard by someone else.
