Chapter 60: Evacuation
Luo Nanyi lay in a simple tent, saying that it sounded like a tent, but in fact, it was a wide tarpaulin hanging on a few erected branches, although the night was getting darker, but he was not sleepy, and a few small gravels on the ground made him feel panicked, but it was useless to change several positions in succession, so he simply stopped tossing.
After discovering that Luo Haoyang had sent a signal, their team changed their original direction and moved all the way towards the location of the signal, in order to support Luo Haoyang as soon as possible, they did not choose a safer route, but took the shortest route directly through the dense forest.
The secluded realm at night is full of dangers, and the hungry predators are eagerly looking for food, Luo Nanyi's way of acting naturally attracted the attention of many demon beasts, and the weaker demon beasts are afraid of the aura emitted by Luo Nanyi and dare not move forward, so they have to hide in the forest and wait for the opportunity.
But some powerful demon beasts couldn't help but be hungry and launched an attack on Luo Nanyi, but Luo Nanyi and his party were already ready, only to see him summon a copper bowl from the sea of qi, and then raised his hand and threw the bowl into the air, and the copper bowl emitted bursts of black gas outward, forming a cover that protected every attendant in it.
The cover seems to be fragile, but in fact it is extremely tough, the claws and teeth of ordinary demon beasts are helpless, even if the occasional powerful demon beast tears through the defense, the black gas emitted from the copper bowl can quickly repair the broken cover completely, with Luo Nanyi's continuous mana support, this cover can be said to be indestructible.
The entourage that followed Luo Nanyi was different from the one led by Luo Haoyang, among them were the old entourage who had participated in the mission of the Netherworld, and there were also some outlaws who used to make a living licking blood from the knife edge, but were later recruited by the Luo family.
These people often fight together, and the cooperation is also very tacit, holding the blade and constantly slashing and killing the attacking demon beasts, once a demon beast rushes into the black gas, it is bound to be attacked by more than three people at the same time, and it will fall in a pool of blood in an instant, although this team is less than ten people, but it has played the momentum of dozens of people, and it is hard to kill a bloody path in the demon beast group.
In less than an hour, most of the monsters with slightly stronger strength were killed and injured, leaving a piece of severed limbs on the ground, and those weak monsters gave up the idea of getting a piece of the pie, and immediately picked up the stumps of the dead demon beasts that still had residual warmth, and fled back to the dense forest in a hurry.
After killing the demon beast, Luo Nanyi and his party were also able to breathe for a while, they were all covered in blood at this time, and they couldn't tell whether it was the blood of the demon beast or the blood flowing from the wounds on their bodies, and the blade of the sword in their hands also appeared a lot of gaps in the collision with the bones of the demon beast, but everyone was in high spirits, their eyes flashed, and they couldn't see a trace of fatigue.
Although there is a black qi body protected by the magic weapon, but in the fierce battle, the entourage was more or less injured, after a simple inventory, except for the two retinues with slightly inferior strength who were seriously injured, the remaining five were slightly injured, which basically did not affect the next action. Under the leadership of Luo Nanyi, the group continued to move towards the destination, and the two seriously injured entourages needed to be supported, so the speed of the whole team was also reduced, and it took nearly an hour before they reached the location where Luo Haoyang sent the signal, but it was empty at this time.
Luo Nanyi did not rush to investigate the surrounding situation, but ordered his entourage to set up a simple tent first and prepare to rest here tonight.
Luo Nanyi naturally has his considerations for doing this, although Luo Ting is the nominal leader of the Luo family's team, but Luo Nanyi, who belongs to other elders, is not directly under his jurisdiction, and he is naturally responsible for helping him, because no matter how they are said to be a family, they have common interests, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy.
But after all, this kind of help is still limited, at this time he has come to the location where the signal was sent as agreed, but he has not found any trace of Luo Haoyang, and the two of his entourages are not lightly injured, he does not need to risk losing two of his subordinates to continue to move forward, after all, their battle just now has caused a lot of commotion, if they don't settle down quickly, I am afraid that they will provoke some powerful existence that they cannot match.
And in all fairness, he didn't believe the story Luo Ting told, not to mention whether there were any thieves who dared to steal from the Luo family, just this person was hiding in the army, and he happened to come with them to carry out this exploration mission, and he was found in the process of using the treasure, this series of things was too much of a coincidence, so Luo Nanyi guessed that Luo Ting must have hidden something from everyone, but what it was is not clear at present.
The place where they camped was not far from a pond, and after setting up the tent, Luo Nanyi asked everyone to clean the blood stains on their bodies first, and then let the two seriously injured entourages rest first, and arranged two entourages to take care of them, and the remaining three entourages were responsible for keeping vigil, and the other two went to the surrounding area to investigate first, hoping to find the traces of Luo Haoyang and others.
The two entourages skillfully covered the wounds of the two seriously injured entourages with the gold sore medicine they carried, and then tore off their sleeves as bandages to tie the wounds tightly above the wounds to reduce the outflow of blood as much as possible.
Anyway, he couldn't sleep lying down, Luo Nan easily sat up, and took out a Gathering Spirit Pill from his arms, compared to the rest of the team, he was not too outstanding in attack, and he was very good at defense, the purple gold bowl could not only expand to protect others, but also concentrate on protecting itself, in terms of defense alone, with all his strength, even in the face of the Qingxu monk, he could resist for a moment.
However, the mana to drive this magic weapon is also a lot, and the period of time when he protected everyone just now almost exhausted Luo Nanyi's mana, relying on the natural speed to recover alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover completely by tomorrow morning, but under the effect of the Gathering Spirit Pill to temporarily improve his perception ability, Luo Nanyi's speed of absorbing the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth has accelerated a lot, and the mana can be fully recovered in less than half an hour.
Suddenly, a short whistle came from not far away, but the second whistle stopped abruptly before it could be heard, and when the whistle came, Luo Nanyi, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, got up, gave up continuing to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and lifted the tarpaulin on the branches and walked outside, and the attendant who was keeping vigil also heard the whistle, he stood by the fire, vigilantly checking the situation around, and subconsciously put his hand on the quiver behind his back.
The bandits and bandits who gather in the mountains and forests often use the whistle as a code, and these entourages also often use this method to transmit information to each other, Luo Nanyi has been with them, and naturally understands that the two consecutive short whistles are obtained as the meaning of "three long and two short", three long means that there may be danger ahead, and two short means that there is a sudden encounter with major danger.
Luo Nanyi, who understood the meaning, immediately raised his vigilance, and his divine consciousness spread rapidly around him as the center, including all the camping areas, but after some investigation, his divine consciousness did not find anything abnormal, which means that the area around the camp has not been invaded for the time being.
But Luo Nanyi suddenly remembered that he had sent two entourages to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and the two had been away for a long time, so it was said that they should have come back now, could it be that the two of them were attacked by demon beasts and were already dead at this time?
The two attendants who were originally taking care of the injured brother also walked out of the tent at this time when they heard the whistle, and seeing that the three of them were there, and the divine sense just now had not detected any abnormality, Luo Nanyi prepared to go to the location where the whistle sounded to check.
"You stay here and be on guard, I'll check on the situation, and I'll be back soon." After Luo Nanyi finished speaking, he summoned the purple gold bowl, stepped on it, and flew away in the direction where the whistle came from.
A moment later, he came to the vicinity of where the whistle sounded, and through the gap in the trees, he saw a man kneeling there.
Luo Nanyi drove the purple gold bowl to the ground, and walked in front of the person in three steps and two steps, but strictly speaking, it used to be a person, and now it is just a corpse, this corpse has no head, and it is impossible to judge the identity, but the plain robe on the body is the one that Luo Haoyang is wearing!
No wonder they couldn't find the trace of Luo Haoyang and his party, it turned out that these people had already encountered an accident, Luo Nanyi looked at the blade fragments scattered on the ground around him and the blood that had not completely penetrated into the ground, his face gradually became gloomy, what kind of realm was that thief, who could actually wipe out a team led by a Jade Void Monk? What is the lost treasure that Luo Ting said, and how can it have such power?
Suddenly, a monster beast that looked like a badger came out of the bushes, with a bloody finger in its mouth, Luo Nanyi suddenly realized something, he ignored the monster beast that fled in a hurry, but walked straight to the bush, and after pushing the bushes with his hands, the bodies of the two missing followers were revealed.
One of them died from a penetrating wound to the chest, the other had his throat cut open with a sharp blade, and the fingers of one hand were also cut off, Luo Nanyi could imagine the scene at that time, two attendants found Luo Haoyang's body, and when they came forward to check it, they were attacked, one was killed on the spot, and the other wanted to give a warning, but was killed before it was done.
Although I don't know how the thief completely wiped out Luo Haoyang and his party, it is obvious that after killing Luo Haoyang, he did not leave, but wanted to wipe out the Luo family!
A scream from the camp broke the silence of the night, and Luo Nanyi was startled to realize that he had been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain.
