Chapter 3 (1) The mysterious island is in a state of flux
In the dense forest not far from the coast, a man held a pheasant in his hand and greeted happily: "Senior sister, Senior Brother Lin, there is a harvest." This person was none other than Meng Song, a young disciple of Aoba Mountain.
Lin Yifan saw this scene and said with a smile: "Haha, it's really lucky, I'm blessed tonight." β
At this time, Meng Song and Liu Ruxu and Phoenix Mountain were tasked with patrolling and looking for food, after coming down from the mysterious temple, they were together with Zhou Baohu and others, and built a temporary camp on the edge of the island. The resources on the island are a little barren, and the past few days have been really tense, so when the disciples go out to patrol and explore, they also have the task of gathering and hunting. Due to the large number of people in the Demon Sect on the island, Zhou Baohu discussed with everyone to form a group of five people, and each group of people acted together to prevent the Demon Sect from being encountered on the road.
Meng Song held the pheasant in his hand, with a wry smile on his face, and said, "Twenty-four or five people may only have this pheasant, and I don't know if I can get a leg."
Since the day of the battle from the temple, the Demon Sect has been like crazy to attack the people of the martial arts faction on the island, and the people in the rivers and lakes who were teleported to the island have about 20 people in addition to the people who appeared on that day, and half of them have been found and harmed by the people of the Demon Sect in just three days. People who have not been found and have heard or witnessed the massacre of the Demon Cult have run to the Zhenshan Gang to seek refuge in order to avoid being poisoned. As a long-standing leader among the decent people, Zhou Baohu has always taken it as his responsibility to unite his colleagues to defeat the Demon Sect, and at this time, it is unreasonable for someone to come to vote, and he also included them in his own team. As a result, food and other supplies that were already scarce became even more scarce, and most of the team's energy was spent searching for food and building camps.
Liu Qianyuan looked at the layers of woods and said to Lin Yifan in a low voice: "In recent days, the Demon Sect's actions have been so rampant, and the attack is so ruthless, I'm afraid I didn't believe the words on the stone tablet." β
Lin Yifan smiled bitterly and said: "I can't help but believe it, according to my observation, if that formation is not automatically unraveled from the inside if certain conditions are met, I am afraid that no one in the world can break it." β
Liu Qianyuan sighed lightly and said, "Then wouldn't I have to stay on this island for the rest of my life." β
Recently, everyone has often been discussing all kinds of bizarre things such as why they came to this island, but even the most well-informed Zhou Baohu, Huang Shengyun and the others don't know anything about it, such a large-scale teleportation, such a large-scale action seems to be not planned and arranged by human beings at all, Lin Yifan is a member of the Lin family of the Immortal Array, and he has read a lot of classics earlier, the teleportation array existed in ancient times, but it has been lost for thousands of years, and even if it exists, this teleportation array can only teleport two or three people, such a large-scale teleportation is really incomprehensibleγ
Yilin Fan smiled and said: "That's also a matter to consider after destroying the Demon Sect first, but it doesn't hurt to live on this island for a lifetime, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, accompanied by beauty, except for a little less wine and a retreat to the mountains and forests." Saying that, he touched Nan Feiyan's head, Nan Feiyan puffed out his cheeks, glared at Lin Yifan and said, "Hmph, who wants to stay here with you for the rest of your life." Yifan and the others looked at him pretending to be angry, and suddenly felt that they couldn't help laughing and laughed.
The five of them had been out for about half a day this time, and they began to set off to return to the camp after watching the sun set. Although he was hungry at this time, but through the forest sea, feeling the slightly salty wind blowing past his face, and there was a childhood sweetheart next to him, Lin Yifan only felt that his heart seemed to be relaxed all of a sudden, and he deliberately slowed down his pace. Meng Song next to him seemed to have this intention, looking at Liu Ruxu next to him from time to time, and the mood of slowly returning was a bit of a stealing half a day. Liu Qianyuan walked and suddenly found that there seemed to be no one around him, but when he turned his head to look, it was two teams of men and women walking side by side, it seemed to be a beautiful picture scroll under the sunset, and a smile also appeared on his face, and his pace was faster, slightly widening the distance between him and the four people.
It was getting late when the five approached the camp, and it was supposed to be the time to light the bonfire and start cooking. However, when Yifan waited outside the camp and looked from afar, he saw that the camp was dark, and there was no sound at all, and the huge camp seemed to be empty. Lin Yifan and the others looked at each other, and they all spoke, Meng Song took the two girls to stay behind, and Lin Yifan and Liu Qianyuan cautiously probed into the camp.
Although the camp was empty, the two of them looked carefully and found no traces of fighting, and they were secretly relieved. There were no tents or other sheltering tools on this desert island, so they just built a few densely packed shelves with bamboo as mats, and placed some palm leaves on their heads to protect them from the rain and sun, and they only slept in their clothes when they rested at night. The seats of each team are very close, Lin Yifan is the case with five people, three men share a couch, and two women are together, the distance between the two is very close, but the palm leaves are used as curtains.
At this time, on the couch where the five people were, a bamboo knot was placed, on which was a small paragraph carved by Shi Hong with a knife, on which the book said: "The whereabouts of the Demon Sect have been found in the southeast direction, I will go first, and Senior Brother Lin will come quickly after seeing the note." The handwriting was sloppy, and it was obvious that it had happened very suddenly, and I left this note in a hurry.
At this time, Meng Song and the three of them had also arrived at the side of the couch, and Meng Song was puzzled: "Even if you find the traces of the Demon Sect, you don't rush to this time, why did Master Zhou and the others act first without waiting for us to come back." β
Liu Qianyuan frowned and said: "There is indeed something strange about this matter, but Master Zhou and the others have profound skills, and the number of people is also above the Demon Sect, so there will be no danger in the future." β
Lin Yifan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw the scribble of Shi Hong's note, planning and moving is the criterion for the survival and action of people in the martial arts, and this island is so weird, so there are obviously a lot of disasters in this way, and hurriedly said: "I'll wait and catch up quickly to see what happened." Little Yan, Senior Sister Liu, you hide near the camp first, and we will go after Master Zhou and them. β
Liu Ruxu, who had been silent, suddenly shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Lin, when this kind of enemy is present, I can't choose to stand behind you. Nan Feiyan also nodded and said, "Senior brother, I won't go to protect you." Lin Yifan groaned slightly, seeing that the two of them were so firm, and he was really worried that he was not around, and the two of them had any mistakes, so he could only nod and agree.
The nameless island that entered the night seemed to be a little more mysterious, except for the footsteps of a few people hurrying quickly, the huge forest did not make any sound at all. The wind stopped at some point, and the island was suddenly extremely hot, and it made people sweat after running for a while. After walking for about half an hour, several people still did not find any trace of everyone, and everyone not only gradually became anxious.
Suddenly, Yi Fan, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly waved his hand, and several people slowed down their pace and walked silently towards an open space not far away.
In the open space under the shade of the woods, some thinner tree trunks and branches and leaves have set up several tents, which are sturdy and weatherproof, and the ability to withstand the weather looks much better than Yifan and the others' own camp. However, Yifan and the others had no time to pay attention to such a masterpiece at present, and everyone's eyes were focused on the front of the camp, and in an open space in front of the camp, there were several corpses lying horizontally.
A few people walked into the camp, and Nan Feiyan suddenly shouted, "Li Xingyun!"
Everyone seemed to be stunned by the scene in front of them all of a sudden, and no one spoke for a while, as if after a short while, they only heard Liu Ruxu say softly: "Why are all these ten corpses from the Demon Sect?"
Meng Song said: "Maybe this is just a small part of the Demon Sect, and they were accidentally discovered by Master Zhou and others, and they were all wiped out." β
Lin Yifan looked at the camp of the Demon Sect, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and said: "You see, the scale of this camp can accommodate twenty or thirty people, all of them are Demon Sect corpses, all of them are Demon Sect corpses, could it be infighting?"
As he was talking, Lin Yifan suddenly remembered the warm feeling and the faint feeling of improving his skills when he killed someone before, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and said: "No matter what the reason is, the top priority is to find Master Zhou and them first, but I don't know if I want to continue to look for them in the southeast." β
Meng Song said: "Why don't we divide our troops into two roads and look for them in the southeast and northeast respectively?"
Lin Yifan was shocked when he heard this, and said: "If Master Zhou and the others also have this kind of thought, divide their troops to pursue, if they run into the Zuo Protector and the four elders, wouldn't it be ......?"
Meng Song said: "Then what should we do?" β
Liu Qianyuan said: "If we are separated, there are only two or three people in a team, if Yifan's assumption is wrong, it's okay, in case it is true, I think that the strength of Zhou Shibo and others is not enough to change the situation, it is better to act in unison." But in this way, the chances of finding them are greatly reduced. β
Nan Feiyan, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "If we can't find their traces, why don't we find a way for them to find us?"
Yifan listened to Nan Feiyan's words, stroked his palms and smiled: "Sure enough, Xiao Yan is scheming, this is a good way." β
Meng Song was puzzled: "Having said that, how can people find out that we are waiting, there is no sound arrow in our hands."
Lin Yifan and Nan Feiyan looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "Fire." β
The two have affection for each other since childhood, although there is no prohibition in the division, but the two live on different peaks of Phoenix Mountain, both need to practice and learn during the day, and there is a curfew at night, the division commander also often checks, whenever the division commander checks the two often use torches to signal to each other, complain to each other, for this reason they have created a set of flags that only each other knows. At this moment, the two naturally remembered the days when the fire was the number, and said in unison the method of using the fire as the signal and revealing their positions.
A fiery red suddenly appeared on the dark island, accompanied by thick smoke gradually getting bigger and bigger against the background of the night, and the direction of this fire was exactly where the previous camp of the demon cultists was, for a while, the escape, the chase, the searching, the lost, everyone's eyes were focused on this place at once. At this time, the group of five who set the fire was making further plans for those who might be attracted to it.
In the open space in front of the Demon Cult camp, Lin Yifan collected a few thick branches, and then used a dagger to quickly carve some strange patterns and words on them. As the carving of the branches was completed, I saw that I suddenly stepped on the seven stars, suddenly moved back and forth, and inserted the branches into the corresponding positions one by one, which was a little more careful than when depicting the branches. When the last branch was inserted into its place, the clearing suddenly changed, and the many corpses that had been lying in the clearing suddenly disappeared. Seeing such a scene, Liu Ruxu and the others couldn't help but grow their mouths in surprise, Meng Song looked at Yifan and said with a smile: "Brother Lin is very capable!"
Only Nan Feiyan seemed to have thought of something, and her playful face suddenly turned red.
Not only did all the corpses in this immortal array disappear within its range, but Lin Yifan could not be seen outside when he entered it. Yifan's plan was to use this strange clearing to lure the enemy over and ambush him in it. Liu Qianyuan and Meng Song were responsible for lurking in the clearing, while Lin Yifan took the two girls to observe not far away, confirming whether they were friends or foes, and were ready to reinforce at any time.
Soon after, there was a rush of footsteps, which grew louder and louder, and soon reached the ears. When Yifan looked down from the canopy, it was Shi Hong and two disciples of the Zhenshan Gang who were coming, these three people were all in tattered clothes, everyone had blood, Lin Yifan was about to call him, but he saw that there were eight or nine people chasing after the three people, and these people were members of the Demon Sect.
I saw that Shi Hong and the three of them entered the open space in a blink of an eye, and then disappeared as Yifan planned, and even a little sound disappeared, obviously the formation laid by Yifan can not only hide the figure, but also have the effect of shielding the sound.
The Demon Sect people rushed quickly under Yifan's feet, and it was obvious that the smell of blood on Shi Hong and the others was an important clue for them to chase. Outside the camp, the leader waved his hand, and everyone stopped in unison. Lin Yifan secretly looked at it, and the two people standing at the front were none other than the Demon Sect's Left Protector Fei Wen and the Fourth Elder Wei Li. Standing behind them were the other five members of the Demon Cult and two of the few who had previously come to the Orthodox Church for protection.
Obviously, the sudden fire on the camp and the sudden disappearance of the corpse made Fei Wen and Wei Li a little puzzled. Fei Wen waved his hand, and the two Demon Sect disciples behind him jumped out and cautiously touched the camp. Suddenly, the two Demon Sect disciples who had walked into the camp disappeared at once.
Fei Wen snorted coldly and said, "The kid of the Immortal Array clan is just a trick. Before the words fell, he and Wei Li put their weapons in front of them, and walked towards the center of the clearing without hurrying, while the disciples behind them were already surrounding the momentum and approaching the past.
After a few breaths, the emptiness in the clearing disappeared at once, but Fei Wen and Wei Li were standing in the middle of the clearing, not far from them, Meng Song and a disciple of the Zhenshan Gang were lying on the ground, blood was constantly spilling from their bodies, and Shi Hong lost his right arm, and half of the yellow monk's robe was also stained red with blood.
Yifan, who was hiding next to the clearing, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this situation. Shi Hong and Meng Song are both leaders in the young generation of martial arts, and their cultivation is by no means weaker than themselves, although Fei Wengong's participation in creation is far superior to others, but thinking that the four elders Wei Li are similar to the three elders of the Demon Sect, even if they are defeated in the end with the strength of everyone, they will not fall into the disadvantage within twenty or thirty moves, but they did not expect to be defeated by the two Demon Sect with the momentum of destroying and decaying.
I only heard a sword sound beside me, but it was Liu Ruxu who moved, she and Meng Song grew up together since childhood, and had long regarded Meng Song as a relative, at this time, seeing him fall to the ground and bleeding nonstop, how could he endure it, a white-clothed sword tip forward, like a meteor rushed down, for a while, the white light and white clothes were like a fairy who descended to earth.
Lin Yifan saw that Liu Rufu moved, and he didn't hesitate, and started with a thunder sword, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and rushed towards the nearest enemy. In the blink of an eye, he surpassed Liu Ruxu, who had previously drawn a sword, and stabbed a sword into the back of a Demon Sect disciple. At the same time, a warm feeling poured into Yifan's body again.
On the other side, Liu Ruxu failed to achieve a blow as he wished, and the demon cultists in front of him reacted very quickly, and quickly turned around when they heard the sound of the sword, Liu Ruxu's sword penetrated his entire left arm and inserted into his ribs, this person was seriously injured but finally picked up a life and came back.
Liu Ruxu did not hesitate after the blow, and quickly retreated to the edge of the clearing, standing side by side with Lin Yifan, who had already retreated.
