Chapter 297: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
() The luck of the "Sanhua Gathering Top" team is really bad, the demon clan did not meet it, but ran into a group of "robbers". It was supposed to be a balance of power with four enemies and four enemies, but because of the other party's sneak attack, the three girls were covered in the net and couldn't move at all. Although Xiao Tianhe didn't know what kind of material the "Dragon Tendon Net" was made of, he had already tried it with a Huangyan knife just now, and it was very tough. Therefore, it is obviously impossible to break the net and save people under the noses of the other four.
So, Xiao Tianhe planned to trick one or two people from the other party to leave first, and when he got to a place where there was no one, he summoned Shi Haoming and they could solve it. As for the explanation to the three girls afterwards, Xiao Tianhe had already thought of an excuse, and only deduced that it was enough to say that there were masters to save him, anyway, the three girls would not think that Xiao Tianhe had solved the enemy by himself. Considering General Yong's care for Xiao Tianhe on the way, maybe they will associate this matter with General Yong.
As the saying goes: "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch comes behind." Just when both sides were full of confidence in their respective plans, the "Yellow Sparrow" that had been hiding in the shadows suddenly appeared!
Xiao Tianhe had just walked out a few steps, only to hear a strange sound behind him, and turned his head to look, but vaguely glimpsed a black shadow falling into the pile of rocks from mid-air. The "eldest sister" obviously noticed something unusual, and hurriedly turned around and rushed back. Unfortunately, the speed of the black shadow was too fast, and before the two of them could rush back, a sharp scream resounded throughout the mountain stream.
"Little sister!" "Big sister" exclaimed, searching around for the enemy's figure, but the enemy was not in the open space at all. The "little sister" who collapsed on the rock had a dull gaze and seemed to be frightened. The "eldest sister" hurriedly jumped on the rock to protect her, and while keeping an eye on the surroundings, she asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"
"Little sister" did not answer. The "eldest sister" glanced down, but this glance made her heart tremble, and her eyes widened - there were several blood marks on the body of the "little sister", and it turned out that she had been cut into several pieces!
Several scars appeared on the knees, waists, chests, necks, and even the skull, and I don't know what kind of blade the black shadow used, which was so sharp that it would cut off the body without killing it instantly!
"Flutter", belated blood finally burst out of the wound, and the body of "Little Sister" was neatly broken into several pieces, and the situation was terrible.
The "eldest sister" was stunned for a moment, and in just a moment, the "little sister" died so miserably! She looked at the two men standing not far away, they were also at a loss, it seemed that they did not see clearly how the black shadow came out, nor did they see where the black shadow went.
"Damn!" "Big Sister" was furious and stabbed Xiao Tianhe with a sword, she thought it was Xiao Tianhe who made a ghost.
Xiao Tianhe raised his knife and shouted, "Calm down! It's not me!" Even if the black shadow killed the enemy, Xiao Tianhe couldn't tell if this person was a good person. What's more, the three girls are still tightly wrapped in the dragon tendon net, if the black shadow is not good for them, they can only be slaughtered.
With a "whoosh", the disappearing black shadow flew through the air again, wiping the faces of Xiao Tianhe and the "eldest sister" and rushing towards the two men at the entrance of the clearing.
This time, although the two of them still couldn't see it very clearly, the general shape of the black shadow was already clear - it was not a human, but a small beast!
Because the black shadow was coming head-on, and the two men had been vigilant about abnormal movements, so they had time to raise their swords to resist, and after a crisp sound of "choking", the black shadow turned to the other side, and fell sharply into the ground, and the stones on the ground shook slightly, and the black shadow disappeared.
"Will this thing escape?" "Big Sister" stepped forward and dug into the place where the black shadow had disappeared. When the rubble on the surface was removed, a small hole was revealed in the dirt.
With such terrifying speed and attack power, it must be a demon beast. It's just that there were a total of eight people in the open space just now, but that little beast dared to sneak attack, which shows that it is not afraid of cultivators at all. Therefore, it is very likely that the demon beast will attack again from a tricky angle when a few people are not paying attention.
Sure enough, the black shadow repeated its old trick and burst out of a corner of the clearing. At the same time, three other black shadows attacked everyone from different directions. There is not just one, but as many as four!
A black shadow attacked the two men, the other headed towards the three girls in the dragon tendon net, and the targets of the remaining two demon beasts were "eldest sister" and Xiao Tianhe.
The two men danced their swords to protect their bodies, and the black shadow could not attack, and began to rotate around the two of them rapidly, and a whirlwind actually blew. The two men couldn't get out, so they had to continue wielding the sword curtain to prevent the demon beast from taking advantage of it.
The three girls in the dragon tendon net couldn't help but panic when they saw the black shadow coming. They now struggle to even move, let alone fend off or dodge.
"Spell!" Su Ziyi had a spirit in his head, anyway, the three of them were close together, and using a golden talisman could temporarily ensure the safety of several people. A pale yellow light wave spread out from Su Ziyi's chest, enveloping the three girls like eggshells. The black shadow slammed headfirst into the light mask, and the three of them were unharmed.
"It's a good time!" Fan Lingyun shouted, and a piece of purple smoke erupted from her mouth, enveloping the black shadow. After hearing a sharp and piercing hiss, a small maroon demon beast lay on its back on the dragon tendon net.
The two black shadows attacking Xiao Tianhe and the "eldest sister" did not take any advantage, but they immediately turned around and rushed to the side of the two men, joining the rapid rotation of the black shadow from before.
The whirlwind was even bigger, and the sound of "whooshing" was endless, and three black shadows rotating at high speed were looking for the flaws in the two men's sword dance.
The two men panicked, no matter how fast the sword danced, they couldn't seal all the angles, not to mention that the two of them were already a little weak at this time. One of them had a slight flaw, and he was been
A black shadow approached, and the other two black shadows immediately left the other person, and swirled around the man from bottom to top like a windmill, and suddenly the blood mist was filled, and the meat crumbs flew sideways, and the man was as if he had been cramped and shaved, and in a moment only a white bone remained. The poor man didn't even have time to wail, and even the flesh and blood were gnawed clean.
After the three black shadows devoured the man, they rushed to the three places and disappeared. At this moment, the skeletons, white bones, and immortal swords fell together and scattered to the ground. A few people were stunned.
Two of the four brothers and sisters died at once, and the "eldest sister" didn't know what to do for a while. Staying here and waiting for the demon beast to attack, or leaving the only remaining brother to follow Xiao Tianhe to get the storage magic weapon, it doesn't seem feasible.
Finally, the "eldest sister" made up her mind: "Second brother, you go with me to get the storage magic weapon!" and then leave the Yaoming Forest quickly!"
In this way, Xiao Tianhe was naturally unhappy: "That's not good, when is it, are you still thinking about the magic weapon of storage? My three teammates are still in the net, wouldn't you leave them alone and let the demon beasts kill?" If you want to go, let them all go together, otherwise I won't move a single step." ”
"Eldest sister" stared at her bloodshot eyes, and Hengjian shouted angrily: "Do you want to die? Dare to negotiate terms with me? Do you really think that I will not kill you?"
Xiao Tianhe smiled contemptuously: "Whatever you want." Now the demon beast must still be staring in the dark, one less person, the more dangerous it is. ”
The tragic situation of the dead man made the "eldest sister" shudder. Now it seems that it is wise to cooperate with Xiao Tianhe and others for the time being. But once the three women are released, I'm afraid that there will be no way to get the storage magic weapon, there are four people on Xiao Tianhe's side, and there are only two people left on his side, so if you don't do it, the other party will take away the demon spirit orb.
After weighing it repeatedly, the "eldest sister" sighed and walked to the side of the dragon tendon net, intending to release the three girls.
Fan Lingyun grinned: "Don't bother you to do it!" She raised her arms and struggled violently, and the dragon tendon net cracked a big hole, and with another pull, the three of them all came out of the net.
"Poison refiner!" "Eldest Sister" glanced at the fracture of the dragon tendon net and understood, Fan Lingyun had corroded the dragon tendon net with poison just now.
After tearing off the dragon tendon net, the demon beast that died on the net rolled to the ground. A few people looked at it, and it turned out to be a bat more than three feet long. The bat's body is reddish-brown in color, with short, fine body hair, and a wing membrane that is not there, with only a small patch in the costal fossa. The front paws are sharp, the ears are close to the scalp, and the two long teeth stick out of the mouth, like steel nails, no wonder the bite is so powerful!
What kind of demon bat is this? No one has ever seen it. Now is not the time to study carefully, and you must leave this pile of rubble with a poor view immediately.
The four members of the "Sanhua Gathering Peak" team, together with two people who had just been "enemies", walked back to back to the wide mountain stream. Once in the open realm, the sneak attack of the demon bat will not be so difficult to prevent. Whether it was Fan Lingyun's poison, Su Ziyi's talisman, or even Ye Linglong's formation, it could make everyone feel a lot calmer when dealing with attacks.
Ye Linglong quickly set up an auxiliary array on several people, and the effect was to reduce the speed of the enemies in the magic circle. Of course, two people who did not belong to the "Sanhua Gathering" squad were excluded.
"Arrayer?" "Big Sister" was surprised. She also saw the situation when Su Ziyi used the golden talisman in the dragon tendon net before, Fan Lingyun was a poison refiner, and now there was a formation maker, and three of the four people had stunts, which was really rare. She looked at Xiao Tianhe again, and wondered, "Could it be that the man who leads the way also has something unique?"
Seeing that he was not included in the auxiliary array, the "second brother" quit, if the demon bats attacked, their speed would be slowed down, but his own speed was also affected. "Why don't you include me and my eldest sister in the circle?" he asked dissatisfiedly.
Ye Linglong smiled coldly: "The thief who kills people and sells goods, and still wants to be protected by my magic circle? If you don't want to die, get out of here!"
"You!" "Second brother" was speechless for a while, the current number of opponents is superior, not to mention the assistance of the magic circle, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the fight.
"Second brother, let's go!" "Eldest sister" forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart. This robbery was too unsuccessful, I wanted to lure people into the bait with the demon spirit orb, but I didn't expect to be stirred up by the demon bat that came out of nowhere, not only did I not grab the demon spirit orb, but also lost two people. At the moment, the danger is still not over, and getting out of here is the best choice.
"Want to go, it's not that easy!" suddenly came a loud roar from the ramp of the mountain stream, and one person rushed down, heading straight for the "eldest sister" and "second brother". He was extremely fast, leaning forward almost level with the ramp, and holding a bright weapon in his right hand, but it was impossible to see its shape in the shaking.
Seeing that there was only one person, the "eldest sister" pushed the "second brother" away and raised her sword to meet the man. The man's hand was raised, and the weapon in his hand hovered and flew out quickly, drawing an elegant arc in the air, bypassing the "eldest sister" and slashing towards the "second brother". The "second brother" hurriedly bowed his waist and let go, just as he was about to step forward to help the "eldest sister", the weapon that flew to the back of his head flew back in the opposite direction, and when the "second brother" heard the wind, the weapon had already flown to his ears, and it was too late to dodge. He used his sword to block it with his backhand, but the "elegant" weapon contained a terrifying killing machine and indestructible power, and with a crisp sound, the fairy sword was cut into two parts, and the weapon then swept over the head of the "second brother" and flew towards the "eldest sister".
"Second brother!" The "eldest sister" caught a glimpse of the "second brother" standing still, knowing that something was wrong, flashed the weapon that flew back, and ran to the side of the "second brother". The weapon flew back into the hands of the mysterious man. Before the "eldest sister" could take two steps, the head of the "second brother" suddenly staggered, and half of the head slowly slipped from the bridge of the nose upwards, blood gushed out from the fracture, and the body fell to the ground on its back.
"Ah——!" "Big Sister" was completely crazy, and raised the fairy sword with a strange scream, facing the mystery
The man swung and slashed indiscriminately, his sword moves were disorderly, and his steps were very messy, only thinking about the other party's death. But the difference in strength was there, and her crazy onslaught of losing her mind was no threat to the mysterious man at all. I saw the man flash a gap at random, and as soon as he raised his hand, the left arm of the "eldest sister" flew out with his shoulder broken.
The sudden pain seemed to have made the crazy woman sober up a lot, and it was just a cup of tea to die if she continued to fight like this. The mysterious man's weapon is obviously not a magic knife or a fairy sword, but it is tough enough to cut off the fairy sword, so it can be seen that this person must be a demon clan.
None of the demon clans in the "fatal" forest are easy to mess with, even the unknown demon bats are extremely fierce, not to mention the guy in front of him who has cultivated into a human form? The "eldest sister" endured severe pain, waved a few swords indiscriminately, and wanted to escape, but the mysterious man's weapon firmly hooked the fairy sword. In a hurry, the woman didn't even want a weapon, skimmed the fairy sword, and fled downhill in a panic.
The stones and gravel on the slope were wet and slippery, and the woman lost an arm, making it difficult for her to maintain her balance, so she accidentally fell to the ground and rolled down the steep slope when she fled. The mysterious man smiled "hehe", leaned over a few steps and chased after the woman, raised his blade and slashed cleanly, and the woman's head was suddenly different. The body stopped rolling, but the head was dragging and rolling more "happily".
"Escape!" Taking advantage of the mysterious man chasing and killing the "eldest sister", Xiao Tianhe shouted in a low voice, and the four members of the "Sanhua Gathering Peak" team rushed towards the uphill direction like arrows off the string.
Fleeing for their lives in danger, the four of them showed their posture vividly. Su Ziyi and Ye Linglong had similar speeds, Fan Lingyun was slightly inferior, and Xiao Tianhe was at the end. It's not that "Dragon Swimming Body Method" is not as powerful as the body skills of several girls, but Xiao Tianhe has other plans.
After going uphill, we have reached the exit of the mountain stream. Outside the mountain stream is a large meadow, and there are huge rocks or mounds several feet high everywhere on the meadow, and the path twists and turns, and you can't see the situation in the distance, and the whole meadow is like a labyrinth. The terrain is perfect for escaping.
"What rank is that guy?" Xiao Tianhe suddenly asked.
"Who knows, it's the level that can kill us anyway!" Fan Lingyun said.
Looking back, the man had caught up uphill, and his running speed was a few points faster than the speed of the "Three Flowers Gathering Peak" team!
"No, run away separately! Escape one by one!" Xiao Tianhe slowed down, I am afraid that this is the last time he will give an order to the three "little flowers" in the tone of a captain.
The three girls were a little hesitant, according to the earlier agreement, it was indeed Xiao Tianhe who dragged the enemy at the critical moment, and the three girls took the opportunity to escape. But what should Xiao Tianhe do? Although he boasted that he was unique, the speed of the mysterious man was amazing, and there was probably no hope of escaping smoothly.
"Why don't you go quickly, do you want to die here?" Xiao Tianhe was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he almost shouted out this sentence. After pushing each of the three girls on the back, he turned around and walked away to meet the mysterious man who was chasing him.
The three girls glanced at each other, seemed to have made up their minds, and fled in three directions. Suddenly, their figures disappeared behind the rocky mound.
Xiao Tianhe glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief. The mysterious man went up to the top of the slope, but suddenly stopped his steps and stood in front of Xiao Tianhe with a smile.
Xiao Tianhe looked at the man calmly.
The man was not short, half a head taller than Xiao Tianhe, but he was very thin. The shoulders are not broad, the shoulders are not broad, but the body does not show the slightest feeling of "thinness", but has a slim and strong beauty. Her hair was neatly combed back and tied up in a thin blue band. He was wearing an indigo shirt with a tight-fitting black shoulder on the outside of his shirt. Behind the hem of the shirt is white pants and a pair of delicate leather boots. Looking at his clothes, he looks quite elegant. His face was also very clean, with clear eyes, a sharp nose, thin smiling lips, and no stubble on his lips or chin. As he looks, he looks like a down-and-out and generous son of a famous family, if it weren't for the blood stains on his legs, it seems difficult to associate him with the "demon clan who kills people without blinking" just now. At this moment, his hands were empty, so Xiao Tianhe had no chance to see that strange weapon clearly.
"You're very righteous. The mysterious man said lightly, "I appreciate it." ”
Xiao Tianhe didn't say a word, not knowing what the mysterious man meant.
"But you still have to die. Including your three friends who escaped, they all have to die. The man continued.
"It doesn't matter who lives and who dies. "Xiao Tian Dao.
The man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, his clear voice sounding particularly pleasant. After laughing for a while, he spoke again: "I admire you for not being afraid of death, but you are too self-conscious. If you want to kill you, you don't need me to do it myself. The man raised his arms and jumped up from the mountain stream behind him and jumped up to his arms.
Xiao Tianhe saw that it was the terrifying demon bats he had encountered earlier. The demon bats bared their teeth at Xiao Tianhe, and roared in a low voice.
The man suddenly showed a fierce face, and said viciously: "If you want to blame the hateful person who formulated the absurd requirements of the evaluation competition, he actually caused so many weak miscellaneous things to disturb the tranquility of my sect's floating realm. Don't let any of you run away!"
Xiao Tianhe was amused, and he said jokingly: "I'm afraid that's not the case, right? As far as I know, three contestants left the Yaoming Forest under the protection of a high-level demon cultivator a few days ago, how do you explain it?" he was referring to Bi Gongzi and his party. It stands to reason that Bi Gongzi's itinerary should have passed through this area.
"Hmph! Those three guys are a different matter! If you are righteous and not afraid of death, I will personally send you on your way!" The mysterious man who was ridiculed by Xiao Tianhe became angry and showed his weapon again.
