Chapter 129: The Verge
In the last few days of autumn, Bai Junqian spent the days of hurrying, and today happened to be the first day of winter.
He stayed up all night and spent the night when the two seasons intersected.
At this time, the sun had not yet fully risen, and the earth seemed cold and quiet, but Bai Junqian's mood became more and more uncalm.
The same goes for everyone else in the barracks.
"Let's just hurry up, shall we?!" Bai Jun said.
Going to Yunyao City was a very dangerous thing, so Bai Junqian did not force anyone to go with him, and those who volunteered to go were Sima Rong, Chang Yuechen, Lan Huanxi, and Huawei Immortals.
Of course, Yin and the others were also clamoring to go, but Bai Junqian was worried that they would refuse the request.
Several people were ready to go, Lan Huanxi and Chang Yuechen were in mid-air, as a backup aid, in case something happened to Bai Junqian, they could also react in time.
Bai Junqian, Sima Rong, and Hua Wei Immortals rode all the way forward, observing along the way.
The main method of communication between the two of them is the fireflies, and they will use spells to remove the fireflies, red for danger, blue for moving forward, and cyan for retreat.
After a long time, they arrived at Yunyao City, Bai Junqian and their team, they couldn't see clearly beyond ten zhang, and Chang Yuechen and them were even worse, they could only see those relatively tall buildings in the city, and the rest were swallowed by the white mist, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Da-da-da.
With the sound of horses' hooves, Bai Junqian and the others entered Yunyao City, and the city gate was not even closed.
"Last time, I arrived here, and the gates were not closed. But ......." Sima Rong seemed to remember something, his brows furrowed, and the green tendons of his hand holding the reins appeared.
Hearing this, Bai Junqian comforted: "Let's be careful this time." β
The flower micro fairy lays vines around, and once the vines sense something, she will find it as soon as possible. This is also an extra guarantee for their personal safety.
Then he cast a blue firefly to launch it into the sky, and with a "boom", the firefly bloomed in the air with an obvious blue light, and Chang Yuechen could see it very clearly in Lan Huanxi.
I don't know how long it took, Bai Junqian and the others had already advanced for a long time, but they didn't even see a single person, and there was no sound around them.
An eerie atmosphere permeated the city.
Suddenly, Bai Junqian found two red dots in the white mist, and he pulled out his sword to signal that Sima Rong and Huawei Immortal might be in danger.
But the strange thing is that the two red dots did not even move their positions, and they were still flickering, flickering on and off...... When Bai Junqian and the others cautiously approached the red dot, they found that they were just two lanterns swaying in the wind.
But who would light the lantern in broad daylight? Just when Bai Junqian was still thinking.
"Eat me with an arrow!"
In front of them, there was a loud bang and an arrow shot at the roof of the wooden building with red lanterns hanging in front of them.
After Bai Junqian and the others found out, they immediately dodged.
And the arrow was a "poof", and it made a sound when it collided with the ground of the bluestone slab.
Bai Junqian and the others immediately dismounted.
Suddenly, another arrow came, this time obviously aimed at Bai Junqian.
Bai Junqian looked at the arrows that were getting closer and closer, turned over and jumped backwards, and suddenly spread his wings to Lingyan in mid-air, changing direction.
But the arrow stabbed Bai Junqian's horse, the horse let out a roar, and then ran uncontrollably towards the white mist, and in a moment, it disappeared.
Sima Rong wanted to chase after him, but Bai Junqian hurriedly stopped: "It's better not to separate the few of us." β
Hearing this, Sima Rong nodded.
The flower fairy flew to the height of the wooden building.
In the white mist, there was a crisp crashing sound of "ding".
Then there was a flash of fire, and a scream came out, "Let me go!"
Hearing this, the flower fairy hurriedly withdrew her sword, almost a step too lateβher sword was just like that at the man's neck, almost stabbing into it.
"Let me go!" said an ordinary-looking teenager.
Suddenly, an unbelievable light flashed in the eyes of the Flower Micro Immortal, but it was immediately extinguished.
"Who are you?!" Hua Wei asked trustingly, then moved the sword to the side of the boy's neck.
Before the boy could answer, there was a sudden muffled sound, and the boy suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, fell forward, and fell directly out of the railing.
All of this happened in a split second.
Bai Junqian under the wooden building also clearly saw a black shadow flashing in the white mist.
Sima Rong caught the boy in time, but the boy was already breathless, and he was carrying an arrow basket behind him, but the arrow basket had been pierced - the arrow that had been black all the time was wedged into his left shoulder blade behind his back and through his chest.
"It seems that there are still a few people in this city who are not controlled and know how to resist. Hua Wei Immortal jumped down from the wooden building and said lightly.
Hearing this, Bai Junqian nodded slowly, "The unit saw a black shadow just now, I'm afraid it was that black shadow that killed this young man." β
When Bai Junqian and the others looked around, the black shadow appeared again, but there was more than one.
Dozens of black shadows surrounded Bai Junqian, Sima Rong, and Hua Wei, and they stood on the buildings around Bai Junqian like ghosts.
When Sima Rong saw this, he suddenly let out an angry roar from his mouth, his figure bounced up from the ground, and the silver sword shadow "clicked" to split the white mist into a gap.
In the next moment, an arrow was shot from the gap.
The arrow shot straight at Sima Rong's face, who raised his sword and stabbed at the black shadow, and the arrow and the blade collided violently.
Unsurprisingly, the arrow was split in half by the blade of the sword, and it flew out to the sides.
Those black shadows hidden in the white mist naturally gradually appeared, and began to release multiple arrows.
Bai Junqian and they could only try their best to resist.
"We have to find a way to break out of this encirclement. β
After shouting at Sima Rong and Hua Wei, an arrow happened to be shot at the back of Sima Rong's head, and according to Bai Junqian, Sima Rong was likely to be unable to resist.
So Bai Junqian immediately rushed behind Sima Rong, turned around and explored, his sword blade was picking up the arrow, and the sword qi poured out along the spine of the sword, and the arrow was suddenly shattered, like a flower composed of sharp iron filings, blooming in mid-air.
"Hiss-" Sima Rong and Bai Junqian took a cool breath at the same time, and both of them were injured by iron filings.
"Be careful!" The vines of the Flower Micro Immortal suddenly appeared in front of Bai Junqian's eyes, and then quickly formed a strong barrier, and several arrows shot at the vine.
Bai Junqian's heart sank, and after saying thank you to the Huawei Immortal, it was in the resistance time delayed by this vine that he puffed up his sword qi, and the red light on the blade of the sword was ignited like a torch.
In an instant, the white mist began to surge.
Sharp ice cubes fell from the sky with a roar, and when the flower fairy saw the situation, it immediately spread the vines to the top of her and Sima Rong's heads.
Just in case.
However, the shadowmen seemed to be caught off guard, and jumped down from the building, ready to find shelter, but the shadowmen who were a little slower to react were pierced through their bodies by the ice that fell from the sky, stabbing through the air and nailing to the ground.
