In the whole mine, all the branch roads extend in all directions, which looks complicated and abnormal, but there will be a slightly larger space every other distance, as a place for ore transfer and personnel distribution, and now the position of these fifteen people is such an intersection.

Bloodthirsty bats were constantly pouring out of almost every mine, but the vitality that Ling Xiao found was two branches that did not emerge from bats. The absence of bats indicates that either there is something unusual about these two branches and the bats dare not go there, or these two branches are dead ends and there are no bats in them.

And no matter which outcome it is, it is obvious that in the current situation, those two branches are where the vitality lies, at least they will not be besieged on all sides, and they only need to deal with bats on one side.

"Go this way!" Ling Xiao shouted to the crowd after shooting two more arrows to kill the two bloodthirsty bats, one pulled up the peach, and changed his weapon to a sharper short sword.

As the so-called dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, in the case of basically cornered, people's blind obedience psychology is still quite strict, since they can't find a way to live, then they might as well follow others.

It was under this mentality that even Zhang Yun, who had always looked at Ling Xiao unpleasantly, broke through the blockade of the bloodthirsty bat as quickly as possible and followed behind Ling Xiao.

To say that the danger is indeed quite dangerous, but these bats flying around in front of you and not entering the organization to attack are not in the eyes of everyone, but people will always have fatigue, and being able to block most of the bats' attacks at this time does not mean that they can be blocked all the time. The fear of the people is more because of the increasing numbers.

And the people gathered together staggered each other, and for a while, they also walked quite quickly into the branch road that was favored by Ling Xiao in advance.

As Ling Xiao expected, this branch road was obviously an abandoned mining site, but it was less than ten meters into it, and it was abandoned after finding that there was no ore. Of course, for Ling Xiao, there was no better place for them to hide.

The inside is completely closed, and the exit outside is only more than one person high, which is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Present. These people don't need to be negotiable, and they can still support themselves to stand in groups of two at the exit and just attack outward, so as not to give the bloodthirsty bats a chance to enter the cave.

For those who are more seriously injured, with the help of others, the wound is cleaned as quickly as possible to stop bleeding and bandage. The few people who were really tired to the bottom of the cultivation were planted on the ground, gasping for breath.

Temporarily out of danger, but it does not mean that it is safe, although the people who came to breathe a sigh of relief did not say anything, but the look of looking at Zhang Yun was full of resentment. Everyone understands in their hearts that they want to harm others. It's good now that others are not harmed, but I am in trouble.

Now I can only hope that the trialists in the back can do their best to discover the abnormalities in the cave, and quickly ask the masters of the Sword Sect and even the Elders' House to take action. With the fifteen people present, they didn't have the ability to rush out anyway.

Peaches bit her lip and looked at Ling Xiao quietly, but Ling Xiao was holding a bow and arrow and looking at the entrance, and sometimes shot a wind feather arrow to kill the bat that slipped through the net.

Arrows were shot quickly in his hand, but Ling Xiao was thinking quickly in his heart.

Everyone present was a high-ranking disciple of the Sword Sect, and there must be a large number of daily necessities prepared in the storage equipment, whether it was food or medicine. There will be no shortage in the short term, but no one can say how long this bat attack will last, and maybe there will be no one left in a while. Maybe it will last all day, maybe it will last longer.

Others didn't pay attention, but Ling Xiao could see it clearly, just as they retreated into this shelter. The bats scattered out a large part and went the way they came.

If things were really as Ling Xiao had discovered before, and the bats had unified command, then the group of bats that had left didn't have to think about it. It must be to block the follow-up team.

There are many roads in the entire mine, and although they basically follow the same route in the operation every year, when the bats in front of them are overwhelmed, they will still choose an alternate route to advance, which means that it is very likely that the subsequent trialists will not find out about the abnormality of their group.

After all, the ultimate goal of an annual operation is to collect a large number of rare ores, and killing bloodthirsty bats is just a pretext. At most, there are a very few trialists who really want to improve their strength to kill bats seriously, and more people's attention will focus on collecting ores.

In this way, there are only two options left for Ling Xiao to choose, either to wait for the help that does not know when it will come, or someone must rush out to report the news!

The two people who stood at the exit changed over and over again, and basically the fifteen had already been dispatched twice except for Ling Xiao. At this time, no one proposed Ling Xiao's special treatment, after all, no matter who stood at the exit, Ling Xiao always stood behind to provide the bow and arrow support that seemed to never be broken.

A full two hours have passed, but not to mention any masters, even the junior brothers and sisters of the follow-up trials are nowhere to be seen, Ling Xiao has already understood that his conjecture has basically become a fact, so all he has to do now is to select one person to go out and report the news.

Ling Xiao, who had just joined the Sword Sect not long ago, did not have the conditions to command these princes in terms of identity or qualifications, but looking at the pale faces and confused expressions of these people, Ling Xiao decided to go out and fight.

Try to use a gentle voice to tell everyone about the problems he found, but the situation still develops towards the worst side of Ling Xiao's prediction. Hearing that the bats had a unified command, hearing that it was impossible for their fifteen people to be rescued in a short period of time, and hearing that one of them had to rush out desperately to report the news, although the group of people did not collapse immediately, the morale that was obviously quite low suddenly dropped to the lowest point.

Even the two people who were holding on at the entrance were just instinctively killing the bats that rushed in front of them, and there was no longer the feeling of desperate work just now.

And among the fourteen people except Ling Xiao, only Peaches is still full of confidence in Ling Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I listen to you, what do you say, I believe you must have a way to take us out of this predicament!"

Momoko's words slightly stirred up the minds of others to survive, yes. It is this Ling Xiao in front of him who led everyone to find a hiding place, and it is also this Ling Xiao who discovered the abnormality of bats, or this Ling Xiao thought of the last way to live in front of him, then this Ling Xiao may really be able to take everyone out.

Invisibly, Ling Xiao's status as the commander of this temporary team was accepted by most people. And everyone began to look at Ling Xiao with a blank eye, hoping that he could come up with a good solution.

Things have come to this point, Ling Xiao didn't dare to delay any more time, and began to arrange it immediately, "The form of sticking to the exit in pairs remains unchanged, as long as you can hold on, you will definitely wait for rescue." Other than that. I know that your elders attach great importance to your safety, don't talk nonsense, take out all the signals and fireworks for your help in an emergency, preferably the kind that your seniors can come in the shortest possible time as soon as the messenger sends out. ”

Indeed, as Ling Xiao said, these princes have more or less such signal devices on their bodies, but in three breaths, a full thirty-two signal devices are concentrated on the ground in front of Ling Xiao, and some people even have three on them. Speechless, looking at these things. Ling Xiao thought maliciously, if there is a chance to put a signal, one is enough, if there is no chance. It's useless to bring even a hundred.

The most important signal of the plan was there, followed by the gathering of equipment, "In a moment, someone who risked his life will report the news." For his safety, we need to pool the best equipment and demand a high enough defense. But the weight must not be too heavy, mainly leather armor and inner armor!"

Listening to Ling Xiao's arrangement, these people felt more and more that rushing out to report the news was a plan that was very likely to succeed, and at this time, how could they take care of the equipment that they usually regarded as treasures, after all, their lives were gone, and everything was empty.

Pieces of armor were concentrated on the ground, and the treasures that were usually rare were mixed with the dirt, and even Peaches contributed a pair of gorgeous armour.

The preparations are basically ready, Ling Xiao is not an impulsive person, but Peach's storage zài makes him have to be the one who reports the news, because the others go out, he is not at ease, only the first time the person who rushes out to report the news has the highest success rate, since the bats outside have a unified command, then it means that at least one of them has produced extremely high intelligence.

If you can't hit it once, then you don't have to expect a second or third success rate, so compared to the flowers in the greenhouse in front of you, the person who is most likely to achieve your goal is yourself.

But he rushed out, but Peaches had to wait for rescue to have the possibility of survival, and he had to arrange Peaches' affairs, thinking of this, Ling Xiao's heart moved, and he said, "Zhang Yun......"

But before Ling Xiao could say anything, Zhang Yun suddenly became extremely excited, "Ling Xiao, I know you want to take revenge on me, but if I sue you, I won't rush out to report the news, my ancestor will definitely come to save me!"

Facing Zhang Yun, who had collapsed, Ling Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't understand how such a superb could appear in the famous Sword Sect, his heart was angry, and his mouth was naturally no longer airy, "Zhang Yun, you are sober, tell you clearly, my life is up to me, the person who wants to rush out to report the news is me Ling Xiao, and the person who wants to fight hard is me Ling Xiao, but I sue you, Zhang Yun, if it is a man, please hold your chest up, and protect the peach for me before you die!"

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, that Zhang Yun was stunned for a while, in his narrow and careful thinking, such an opportunity in front of him, Ling Xiao would definitely use it to deal with himself, the "opponent" who had repeatedly opposed him, but he didn't expect Ling Xiao to rush out to report the news and call him Zhang Yun, just for the safety of Peaches.

A huge humiliation came to my heart, selfishness, and brought everyone into a desperate situation, small belly, suspicious of Ling Xiao's intentions, cowardly and incompetent, I didn't dare to stand up and report the news, is I really so useless?

Zhang Yun began to reflect, but suddenly thought of one thing, this Ling Xiao was about to rush out and fight hard, the last thing he could let go of was Peaches, at this critical juncture, looking for someone to protect Peaches, but he chose his own head, so that means that Ling Xiao trusts himself.

A feeling of being valued by others that I have never felt before appeared in my heart, constantly surging, and the blood that was originally overwhelmed by fear also began to boil, I, Zhang Yun, am the junior of the Elders' House, and I Zhang Yun has always been known as the first young master of the Sword Sect, and I Zhang Yun also have my own pride.

It's dangerous to rush out and report the news, but it's not necessarily safe to stay in this hiding place, so what's the harm if you spill this blood here since you Ling Xiao has ordered me.

"Ling Xiao, before I die, the peach will be safe!" (To be continued......)
