Chapter 786: The Ghost Standing Face to Face
The night obscured everything that could be seen, and everything that was already invisible became even more confusing.
Chen Xi broke away from the group with a team of more than thirty people, and then bypassed the camp of the Demon Domain Army, stabbing all the way to the back of the Demon Domain Army. In fact, up to now, Chen Xi's heart has never been at peace, and the development of the war has become more and more strange, and it seems that everything is developing in an extremely bad direction.
First of all, there are all kinds of signs that the people of the Demon Domain have been preparing for war with the army of the Divine Domain from the beginning to the end, in this case, why have they not seen the army of the Demon Domain until now? The few armies that have appeared now are far from being comparable to the army that has entered the Divine Domain in terms of numbers. Secondly, so far, I haven't seen any strong people in the Demon Domain appear, is there no strong person in the Demon Domain?
First of all, the idea that the Demon Domain does not have many troops must be wrong, if it has been prepared for hundreds of thousands of years, how can there not be many troops. And then the idea that there is no master in the Demon Domain must be wrong, if there is no master in the God Domain, why be so careful?
Chen Xi knew that Xu Ji must know a lot of secrets, but these secrets couldn't be told now.
The group hurried through the night, and their perception was all raised to the extreme. This is the Demon Domain, and the people of the Demon Domain can appear at any time, and it seems that the danger is in the dark. Chen Xi always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes in the shadows looking at his people so directly, and they were all sneering. This feeling makes him doubt immediately no matter what judgment he makes.
Once a person begins to doubt himself endlessly, then it is not far from making mistakes. Chen Xi forced himself to stop thinking about the mess and concentrate on feeling the surroundings.
There is a breeze blowing from the other side, and in this silent night, it is like a ghost floating in front of you face to face and blowing air on you. The distance between it and this ghost is no more than three centimeters, and it can lick your face just by sticking out its tongue
Judging from the speed of the march, Chen Xi was sure that he had left the Demon Domain army camp for at least dozens of miles. He stopped first, and the procession froze there as if a train had been told to move had suddenly braked. These dozens of people were trained by Chen Xi by hand, and everyone's reaction was extraordinary. They quickly moved closer to Chen Xi, and at the same time, some people were always facing outward to make defensive preparations.
"From the feeling point of view, it's still a flat ride. ”
Chen Xi lowered his voice and said, "I originally suspected that the army of the Demon Domain was trying to lead our army to an extremely dangerous environment, and the army of the Demon Domain would definitely set up an ambush in that place. But now it has come out for dozens of miles, and the perception can be released for hundreds of miles, all of which are plains. ”
Everyone knows that it is almost impossible to set up an ambush on the plains. As long as the army of the Divine Domain maintained sufficient vigilance and released more scouts and rangers, the idea of a sneak attack by the enemy was basically cut off.
"Could it be that I'm wrong?"
Chen Xi squatted there and said to himself, "Could it be that the number of troops in the Demon Domain is really small?
The fat emperor Rufeng said: "Instead of doubting ourselves, it is better to doubt the enemy, we know ourselves, and we don't understand the enemy, in my opinion, let's rush forward, isn't it a distance of hundreds of miles, and it is nothing for us." Extend a few hundred miles back, and if there is indeed no ambush, then you can rest assured. ”
Chen Xi said: "I don't doubt myself, I can be sure that there must be an ambush of the enemy, but this kind of ambush must be very special, and it may be placed there that we can't see." Now I divide the team into two parts, fat man, you take half of the people to follow behind, keep a distance of ten miles, this distance support is too late, if the danger is too great, you can retreat. ”
"No"
The fat man shook his head: "I am now your pro-soldier leader, and I will follow you." ”
Chen Xi was silent for a while and then rearranged: "Then Su Xu, you take half of the people in the back team, pay attention to the jade pendant used for communication at any time, and I will notify you in case of danger." ”
Su Xu clenched his fists: "Subordinates obey orders." ”
Chen Xi took half of the people and continued to move forward with the fat man. Although the night is very dark, the perception of the demigods is already terrifying, it is like some kind of signal that is released, if the terrain changes in front of them and mountains appear, then they will perceive it very clearly. Even if there are large trees, they can sense it. But now, nothing has changed.
The terrain is always flat, and no matter which direction you perceive, there is no change. At this time, it was already almost a hundred miles behind the Demon Domain Army, and it didn't seem to be in any danger.
But at this time, Chen Xi's steps stopped, and then turned back sharply. Because he didn't warn before, the people behind him were a little unresponsive and almost collided.
The fat man found that Chen Xi's face was different by the moonlight, and he couldn't help but raise his heart: "What's wrong?"
Chen Xi stretched out his hand and counted the number of people: "We have one less person." ”
When you do something, you will always be asked if you are ready. We also always answer, ready.
But when you think about it, are you really ready? For example, if you want to go far away, you will prepare all kinds of things, buy necessities, and then ask the car and horse shop when there is a car. If you're walking around your own home, you'll need to pack more. If you go out confidently with a large bag or a small bag, you will still encounter all kinds of problems, then you are actually not ready. In other words, the necessary things are ready, but there are still many things in your heart that are not ready.
You don't think about whether you will encounter any danger, you don't think about what to do if you get sick on the road, and questions like this will always be around you.
So Chen Xi was always ready, but he didn't feel that he was completely prepared at any time. When others followed him and hurried forward, he not only paid attention to the environment in front of him, but also paid attention to the changes in the aura around him, he even listened to the footsteps of everyone behind him. There are not many people in this world or in other worlds who can multitask, and Chen Xi is the most outstanding one.
When he heard the footsteps and suddenly there was one person missing, Chen Xi suddenly stopped, and then he turned around and found that there was indeed one person missing.
When was there one person missing? No one noticed, and no one even felt that one person was missing. What's even more terrifying is that the person who is less is not at the back of the line. Chen Xi stopped and inquired, the young person was called Du Congrong, and he had been rushing forward side by side with Liu Xiao. It is common sense not to open the line as if it were a line when scouting, and it is necessary to keep at least two people in each position. However, even Liu Xiao didn't notice that Du Congrong was gone.
"I don't know. ”
Liu Xiao's face turned a little pale: "If you hadn't stopped, my lord, I wouldn't have noticed that Du Congrong was gone." ”
Chen Xi nodded, he knew that Liu Xiao was telling the truth. According to Chen Xi's training, even if the two people who are moving forward side by side will not exceed two feet even if they move forward quickly, the distance between the two people will not exceed two feet, such a distance, Liu Xiao, the best among the demigods personally selected by Chen Xi, still does not notice anything, how terrifying and weird this matter is can be imagined.
"Everyone stays where they are and doesn't move, remembering who the people around them are, and their perceptions are raised. ”
Chen Xi commanded, and then pulled the fat man: "I'm going to walk around our team and take a closer look at everyone." You and I walk shoulder to shoulder, and we can't be separated. ”
The fat man also knew that he was in big trouble this time, nodded, and Chen Xi and Chen Xi always kept shoulder-to-shoulder and began to walk. Chen Xi carefully observed everyone, because he had to wonder if something terrible had come in the team unconsciously. Is everyone in the team still the same person?
"Questions?"
The fat man asked after walking around with Chen Xi.
Chen Xi nodded, his voice was very low, but every word was clear, making all those who heard him start to feel furious in their hearts.
"We're one less person. ”
The team was not large, only a dozen people, and the place occupied by the team was small while on guard. Therefore, the time it took for Chen Xi and the fat man to walk around the team was very short, but when Chen Xi returned to the original point, he found that there was one less person.
The person who disappeared this time was called Zheng Long, the person on his left was Huang Zhong, and the person on his right was Li Ao.
"Notice anything?"
Chen Xi asked Huang Zhong and Li Ao, both of them were frightened, and their faces were white and scary. They shook their heads at the same time, because they really didn't feel anything terrible happening. By the time they felt that their surroundings were empty, Zheng Long had already disappeared. It was so fast that there was not even a little resistance. With Zheng Long's reaction, he didn't even have time to warn.
"Everyone was in a circle, their faces facing outward. ”
Chen Xi immediately made a decision.
The remaining dozen or so people subconsciously did what Chen Xi ordered, and then formed a circle, with their faces facing outwards and shoulder to shoulder. Chen Xi and the fat man stood back to back, standing in the center of the circle. The circle is not big, so there are almost no dead spots in the line of sight of the two people. Chen Xi first contacted Su Xu and asked Su Xu to stop with the team and wait for news.
After Chen Xi sent the news, he felt that the fat man's shoulders suddenly trembled slightly. Chen Xi hurriedly asked what was wrong, the fat man stretched out his hand and pointed forward that the round team was missing an opening, and another person disappeared.
Everyone was shoulder to shoulder, so the two people around them felt it when the person disappeared. But even so, nothing was found. There is no enemy appearing, nothing terrible happens, and of course people disappear like this, which is already the most terrible thing.
"This place is fucking weird. ”
The fat man pulled Chen Xi: "Let's retreat first, this place is very evil." ”
Chen Xi nodded, now he must go back and find Su Xu and them to meet.
The fat man lowered his voice and said: "I always feel that there is a ghost standing in front of us, standing face to face with us, there is not even an inch between its eyes and yours, it can lick your face with its tongue, but we just can't see it." It is no longer possible for us to move forward, retreat and join the team behind the palace, and then make plans. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Chen Xi's voice say in a strange voice: "Maybe the situation of Su Xu and them in the back is worse than ours." ”
