Hunter or Prey (1)
Chapter 118: Hunter or Prey (1)
The teacher shouted, and the horse was now opening up a bloody path for the students, and everyone ran all the way and finally climbed a large tree, and finally got a moment of rest.
However, before the students could catch their breath, the teacher said to the class leader: "Class leader! You are responsible for taking care of your classmates here. ”
"Rescue teams are expected to be there soon."
"During this time, it's hard for you."
The class leader instantly understood what the teacher meant, he looked down at the ground under the tree, which had been crowded with groups of gray rabbits, and hurriedly shouted at the teacher: "Teacher! You don't want to go to Jiajia and Lan Lan now, do you? ”
The squad leader understood that his teacher was only a monk who had built the ninth layer of the foundation, and it had taken a lot of effort to lead them out of the beast tide before.
If you return to the beast tide now to rescue the students, I am afraid that you will be more than lucky.
The teacher smiled slightly: "You are all my students, even if I try my best, I have to protect your thoroughness, and I want to bring you back safely." ”
The teacher said that, regardless of the crying persuasion of the other students, he was about to jump under the tree with his sword.
However, before he could do anything, he saw a white rainbow suddenly flash in the distance.
The white rainbow was like an extremely fast bolt of lightning, dragging the corpse of the spirit beast that dared to block its path, and flew straight towards the trees where the group of teachers and students lived.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Hong had already landed on the tree, and when everyone looked at it, they found that the person who came was the dean, the fifth-order monk of the Jindan period, Luo Chan.
"Dean!" Seeing the dean fight his way out of the beast tide to rescue everyone, the teacher couldn't cry for a moment, and immediately bowed to Luo Chan.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and the dean has to come to the rescue in person, which is really dereliction of duty!"
The group of students in front of him was the fifth team rescued by Luo Chan today, although they were already the fifth-order cultivators of the Jindan stage, but in the face of the attacks of the beast tide from all sides, even if Luo Chan intended to restrain himself, it was still difficult to hide the slightest fatigue on his face.
She took a breath and said straight to the point: "In special times, these etiquettes will be waived first." ”
"How is your class doing so far?"
As soon as these words came out, a look of shame appeared on the teacher's face again, and Chao Luo Chan responded in a difficult tone: "No one is injured at present, but ...... Two female trainees are missing. ”
As soon as he heard this, Luo Chan's eyes that were as indifferent as the surface of a lake flashed a trace of worry.
After thinking for a moment, she didn't hesitate to speak, "Show me the direction you just went." ”
After learning the general direction of the disappearance of the two female students, Luo Chan nodded slightly and said, "I will go to find the two students." ”
"The academy has already made contact with the Inner Elders' Council, and at present, the elders of ten teams in the Fourth Ring have begun to turn back to come to the rescue."
"Chances are you'll be sent back to safety in about an hour."
"So your current role is to protect the remaining students, and as for the rest, we'll take care of the rest."
Luo Cicada said, kicked the trunk with one foot, and turned into a white rainbow and flew away again.
Luo Chan struggled to forge a path forward in the beast tide, and at the same time used his divine sense to explore the location of the two missing female students.
Suddenly, Luo Cicada's gaze fell on a dense forest to the north.
She quickly approached the dense forest, relying on the guidance of her divine sense, and soon found the traces of the two students.
I saw that the two of them were hiding in the hollow of a thousand-year-old banyan tree, hugging each other and shivering.
"Great." Luo Chan let out a long breath, and his eyes showed a relieved lightness.
However, before she could get closer to the banyan tree, she noticed that a strange shadow-like object suddenly appeared on the ground below the banyan tree.
The object slowly climbed up the tree, and two figures sprang out of it, restraining the two students at great speed, and trying to drag them into the shadow-like swamp.
"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, a cold glint flashed in Luo Chan's eyes, and his body rushed towards the banyan tree like lightning.
"Stop!" At the same time, Luo Chan urged the magic trick in his heart, gathered the aura in his hand, and flew out a sword qi towards the two figures with his finger as a sword.
The two figures didn't seem to have expected that someone would come here to rescue the students of the outer courtyard despite the chaos and danger of the beast tide.
The two of them were immediately caught off guard by this sword qi, and they didn't have time to dodge when they saw the sword qi flying towards them.
One of them barely hesitated, and directly pulled the other colleague to his side, treating him as a substitute for the dead.
The sword qi directly cut off the head of the dead ghost, but let the other person get away with a life.
"Jindan period!" A flash of panic flashed in the eyes of the surviving black shadow.
Seeing Luo Chan getting closer and closer to him, coupled with the desperate resistance and struggle of the two girls.
The black shadow glared at Luo Cicada extremely unwillingly, and jumped towards the pool of black shadows, while not forgetting to take away the corpse of his companion.
Like a fish falling into the water, the black shadow and the corpse disappeared without a trace in an instant after touching the 'swamp' on the ground.
"Great."
Luo Chan finally rushed to the tree hole, and saw that the two girls in the cave were safe and sound, and a faint smile rarely appeared on her cool face.
The two girls also immediately hugged and cried, and began to wantonly vent their excitement after escaping death.
Seeing the two students crying like this, Luo Chan regained his composure again, and hurriedly stopped him: "Don't cry, the danger hasn't been lifted yet." ”
"With such a loud sound, it's easy to attract some large spirit beasts."
As soon as these words came out, the two girls were instantly frightened and obediently closed their mouths, and they could only hold tears in the corners of their eyes, and then looked at Luo Cicada pitifully and twitched.
"Dean, what was that just now?"
"That's right, Dean, that thing seems to be more terrifying than a spirit animal."
The two little girls asked Luo Chan with sobs.
The questions of the two woke up Luo Chan, and for a while, she recalled the case that her grandfather Qian Huaiyi said before - the case of the disappearance of female students in the outer courtyard.
Due to the sudden disappearance of the case in recent times, Luo Chan has not connected the beast tide with these two before.
But now, seeing the two girls who were almost abducted by the black shadow, and recalling the various points of the previous outbreak of the beast tide, Luo Chan seems to have a guess.
That is, the outbreak of this beast tide is likely to be related to the disappearance.
It is even said that the initiator of the disappearance of the college girl is to take advantage of the chaos to continue the crime.
Thinking of this, Luo Chan looked down at the ground just now, the ground that was like a black shadow swamp before, there was already only a pile of weeds and dirt left, and there was no trace of the existence of a black shadow at all.
"That thing was ...... just now" Luo Chan thought quickly in his brain, rummaging through the book knowledge he had learned for many years.
Soon, a spell that was very much in line with this dark shadow swamp was turned over from her brain.
"Shadow Swamp!" Luo Chan's eyes lit up at first, as if he was glad that he had found the corresponding spell, but soon the joy on his face flashed away, and he was replaced by a solemn look like water.
The Shadow Swamp Technique, unlike the aura used in regular spells, uses the opposite energy of the aura, the evil energy.
Between heaven and earth, Reiki represents endless life, while Evil Qi represents chaos and death.
According to what Luo Chan knew, there were only a few people in this world who used evil qi.
First, it is the Yin Soldier Rakshasa of the underworld, because the underworld itself is the place where the deceased want to go, where the evil energy is full and the spiritual energy is exhausted, so it can only use the evil energy to perform spells.
Second, it is some monks in Dahua who have gone astray and practiced demonic cultivation, these monks are either in a hurry to increase their strength, or they have been deceived and led astray, or they may simply go mad, and then abandon the tradition of cultivating with spiritual energy, and thus use evil qi to practice instead.
And the third type is the most likely group of people that Luo Chan thinks of now, which is the Northern Demon Clan who wanders on the northern border all year round and is eyeing the Great Chinese Race.
The composition of this group of demons is quite complex, and their internal management is also extremely chaotic, but most of the monks of the demon clan use the yin and vicious sacrificial techniques as the source of energy for their cultivation and improvement, and most of the moves that use these spells are driven by evil qi.
Thinking of this, it seems that all the previous things can be connected into a line.
Luo Chan soon had a basic idea in his mind.
When her grandfather Qian Huaiyi saw Luo Chan, he told her that the disappearance of the woman in the outer courtyard of the Immortal Cultivation Academy was likely to be related to the demon clan.
At the beginning, my grandfather was worried that this matter was serious, so he reported the case to Dahua's night non-collection organization.
It is likely that it is because this case has attracted the attention of Ye Buhui, which has led to the recent period of time, the demons have converged, and the case has stopped during this period of time.
At the same time, although Luo Chan didn't know what the purpose of this group of demons was to capture the female students, she was sure that this group of people must have been in great need to continue committing crimes recently.
Otherwise, it would never be possible to take a risk and choose the autumn hunting activity of the Immortal Cultivation Academy to release such a large-scale beast tide in order to hide people's eyes and ears and snatch female students.
"It seems that whether the guess is right or not, I have to continue to investigate." Luo Chan took a deep look at the air just now, and muttered to himself with a cold look in his eyes.
Immediately after, she immediately looked up at the two students who had almost been robbed by the demons just now, only to see her raise her hand and set fire to a piece of rune paper.
Then he said to the two girls: "I have lit the beacon for you, and help will arrive in about ten minutes." ”
"You guys just hide in the hollow of the tree and don't go out for now, I have more important things to do."
Luo Chan said, turning over and going down the tree hole.
Although it is indeed unsafe to leave these two frightened students alone here.
But for Luo Chan, tracking down the whereabouts of the two black shadows just now is more important than protecting these two children.
Because as long as the main messenger behind the black shadow can be found, once the other party is uprooted, not only can the riot of the beast tide be completely quelled, but more importantly, the whereabouts of those missing girls can be traced.
Even if Luo Chan had already predicted in her heart that the first few girls who disappeared were likely to be dead, even if there was a little hope left, she must not give up.
Even if she gets the worst possible outcome, she will have to make the wicked people pay the price.
