  Chapter 721 Let's fight and retreat! (first update)

Compared with the bright spring scenery around the Agate Stone Plain, the climate in the jungle area of ​​the South China Sea after crossing the mouth of the Indigo Mountain Gorge is always unacceptably humid. Not to mention the smog and poisonous insects in the forest, the continuous rain alone makes many people feel uncomfortable. The mountain people in the convoy led by Xiahui suffered a lot.

Although they are also natives of Nanling, the two names "People of the Forest" and "People of the Mountain" fully explain the environment and climate they are adapted to... This is also a shortcoming caused by the strong adaptability of the Terra people. As long as they adapt to one extreme environment, they lose their tolerance to other extreme environments.

   Fortunately, as the lord, Ian did not insist on speed. He mercifully let everyone in the convoy rest in Sanhe City for a period of time, so that a group of members who were vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization had time to recover.

Of course, in addition to this, there are other reasons for the convoy to suspend its progress: the flooding of rivers caused by seasonal rains has also affected the roads around Three Rivers City, and many lurking monsters have become active during this period. The attack has not been completely resolved, and several small caravans have suffered heavy losses.

  The convoy led by Xiahui is naturally not afraid of any magical beast attack, but it would be better if there are fewer things to do.

  Under the dark rain clouds, the white-haired lord was walking in the misty jungle, while the blue-haired swordsman looked around vigilantly, as if observing whether there were followers around.

  The torrential rain washes away everything in the world, and the sound of raindrops colliding with leaves fills the sky and the earth, coupled with the thunder that explodes from time to time, it is almost impossible for anyone to hear the conversation between them.

   Get rid of a group of assassins who have been lurking in the dark for a long time, patiently waiting for the two to act.

   (The target and his **** left the city and are heading to the outskirts... What are they going to do?)

Although Ian and Qing Chao's departure from the densely populated area was in line with their expectations, but because they couldn't figure out the reason, the members of the Feiyan Worshiping Dragon Cult headed by Gian Ren said in a deep voice: (Wait a minute, listen to what they want to talk about. What - they deliberately chose this time to come out to communicate, it must be to talk about some more important things!)

  The fact is true. When Ian spoke, everyone was attracted.

  —Prophet.

  —Foresee Futaba!

A piece of information that shocked all the members of the Dragon Worship came from Ian... It turned out that the reason why the alchemist lord personally led Xiahui to Port Harrison was not just to return home to visit his relatives and old superiors, It is because he got a crucial news in the big redwood forest!

  A treasure "Foresight Futaba" about the inheritance of the ancient prophets of the Sequoia natives, who is said to be able to foresee storms and disasters!

Originally, the elves and demi-humans, who were quite critical of the action of the imitation blade, wanted to attack Ian directly, and immediately listened attentively after hearing the news... It's not because Ian's voice is fascinating, but as long as the prophet is involved Information, in Terra, is far more precious than gold and potions.

   (There are also prophetic treasures in Nanling?)

The elf Dragon Worshiper asked with some doubts, but it wasn't Gian Ren or Yaren who answered, but a member of his own team responded quite excitedly: (Yes, Director! Foreseeing that although Futaba is in Nanling It’s just a legend, but in recent years, in the face of big storms, the local redwood aborigines have always been able to respond in advance... In fact, the local aborigines have never encountered too many disasters due to natural disasters)

   (Even if Foresight Futaba is not a prophetic treasure, it is at least a sublimation wonder that can predict weather and natural disasters!)

  —That is precious enough.

  Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a little more heavily...but this also brought some flaws.

"who is it?!"

  Ian, who was about to chat with Qing Chao and foresee where Futaba was, suddenly raised his head vigilantly, his eyes flashed with psychic light, and he asked in some 'shock': "Who is here?!"

Because Ian has known for a long time that he possesses the 'reconnaissance ability', so this time, the assassination unit of the Dragon Worship of the Three Kingdoms deliberately used a sublimation strange thing 'Night Covering Membrane', a sublimation called 'Shading Snake' The creature snake slough comes as equipment.

   This kind of creature can't completely make itself invisible in psionic energy, but it can have a deflecting effect, making people's psionic feedback as small as an ant, and even a sublimator is as big as a brittle finch.

   And in Nanling, what is there to be wary of a flock of brittle sparrows? Unless the observer is extremely suspicious, or the observation ability is extremely keen.

   It now appears that Ian has both.

   "Attack!"

Now that they have been discovered, they no longer hide, but attack Ian brazenly, and the elf in the head ordered in the communication channel: (Change the target! Don't kill him, but arrest him for interrogation !)

   (Foreseeing Futaba... This kind of treasure, the people above will definitely like it!)

  One side captures the other side alive, which represents absolute crushing in terms of strength... It's like a personal fight, the person who can feed the other side is definitely much stronger than the other side.

  So, does the Dragon Worshiper really feel that their power has absolutely crushed Ian?

  —Although we are not professional killers, we think we are stronger than Ian!

  In general, yes.

   (ten people?!)

Seeing the ten black shadows jumping out from the woods in the distance, even Qing Chao, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help but feel excited: (No wonder the boss said that the entire convoy couldn't stop— Three second energy levels, with seven well-equipped first energy levels, assassinate us? Assault us are enough!)

   (If the rebel mountain people had such a force, then I would not dare to lead the team alone!)

   (The front is handed to you.)

   And Ian narrowed his eyes, and after quickly looking at the enemy, he understood, and then told Qing Chao: (Remember—we will fight and retreat!)

(Um!)

  Qing Chao also entered the fighting state at this moment, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly: "My lord, you go first!"

  Crack, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ian's right hand. With a shake of his arm, he threw Ian towards the forest exit behind him, while he drew his sword with his right hand and cut forward a wave more than ten meters long.

   "The main target is that white people!"

Without any hesitation, the assassination team divided up, and the demihuman captain of the Royal Court of Heaven greeted Qing Chao. His weapon was a huge crescent-shaped shovel that resembled a boat oar, and the dark shovel shone with the icy-cold and thick earth-type source quality brilliance. , cut into the Sword of Waves, smashed it directly, and then fell towards the swordsman without changing the momentum.

   "Condensed Dust Iron?"

Qing Chao dodged to the right, he noticed that the material of the opponent's weapon was the precious sublimation metal that restrained all sublimation skills such as "Essential Void", "Splitting Air Blade" and so on. He completely understood what Ian said before, "They will specifically target us ability, so be careful' what that phrase means.

Fortunately, he had already prepared to dodge, so he dodged back, and the huge crescent shovel of the demihuman captain slammed down on Qing Chao's original position, and a big pit eight meters in diameter and three meters deep suddenly appeared. The tide formed by the mud and sand swept nearly 100 meters in all directions, and the rolling sound was like thunder exploding on the ground.

And Qing Chao avoided this powerful blow, then took the opportunity to raise his sword, recoiled into the mud wave, and stabbed the demihuman captain's throat with a sword—only relying on pure physical strength to deliver this blow, even a demihuman with extraordinary talents You have to use too much force and temporarily lose your breath!

  But in the face of Qing Chao's extremely precise timing of the turning sword, the demi-human captain just raised his head and breathed out a mouthful of dragon's breath.

   Hum! The gray dragon's breath carried a strong corrosive aura. Wherever it passed, the rain reacted violently, bursting into steam, and Qing Chao, who thought he was about to cut off the opponent's head, turned to face To life and death crisis.

At the very moment, Qing Chao suddenly lay on his back close to the ground, hid his body in the muddy water, and then relied on his sublimation ability to control water to push himself sideways like a torpedo—this was learned from Ian's torpedo maneuvers. Undoubtedly very useful, indeed let him avoid the enemy's fatal blow.

  Boom!

The gray corrosive breath passed through the place where the blue tide was originally, and bombarded the ground. A large amount of mud and cement directly rose and burned. In addition to corrosion, the heat energy carried by this breath is also extremely terrifying. The extremely active dragon acid is not so much Melting matter is more like dismantling matter, and then activating molecules to move at high speed, generating huge heat energy!

   In time, this ordinary acid breath may evolve into a 'fission breath' or an 'electromagnetic collapse breath'!

   Almost instantly, within a radius of tens of meters became a sea of ​​flames, and a monstrous heat wave surged up, evaporating all the mud and rain.

The last time Qing Chao encountered such a life-and-death situation was when he dealt with the Frost Lure Moth in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea. After breaking through the second energy level, with his increasingly sophisticated swordsmanship and hard power, his combat ability has improved by leaps and bounds, and he can almost be said to be the strongest combat force that the Xiahui leader can routinely deploy.

   But the enemy is not easy to deal with. This demi-human captain has a dragon breath organ, which can kill almost any existence of the same level in seconds. If Qing Chao has not been cautious all the time and listened to Ian's teachings, he was killed in seconds just now.

  But now, the demi-human captain's hole cards are exposed, so he can't be regarded as a dangerous opponent.

   "I can hold him down, and even kill him—but what about the boss?"

   Now that things are going on, Qing Chao even has enough energy to observe the battlefield on the other side from the corner of his eye to see what Ian's situation is like now.

  Then, the swordsman's pupils vibrated rapidly.

  Because, he saw that his lord spread out his fairy wings, made a quick attack, and almost teleported to the side of an enemy, and the steel-patterned sword that emerged like a ghost cut off his head.

  The person whose head was beheaded didn't even realize that he was dead. He charged forward a few steps before staggering and falling to the ground, bleeding all over the ground to die.

   "Damn! He's faster than we thought!"

   "Is this the goblin? Be careful he can fly, suppress it!"

  Qing Chao heard the surprised and angry voice of the enemy: "Don't disperse, cooperate in pairs!"

   "He can't escape our palms!"

   I was harassed by mosquitoes all night yesterday, and I couldn’t write anything. Why are there still mosquitoes in November!

   I will try to write more later today, but I can’t update it at 8 o’clock, please forgive me!
