The Xuan Ning Chalcedony has been obtained, and there is no need to stay here. Wu Gen is ready to take people away from this place. Looking at the dense insect beasts in front of them, as well as the arrows shot from hidden places from time to time, several people looked a little grim.
The roads going up and down the mountain were crowded with orcs who came after hearing the news. Dots of torches hung like bead curtains all over the Cyanwood Mountain. It was impossible to leave from the main road.
For now, we can only go down the mountain via that path. Although it is steep, it also means there are fewer enemies to block us. But the most urgent task is how to break out of this platform.
Not to mention these all-pervasive insect beasts, the densely packed orcs up and down the high platform really thought they could be defeated in one fell swoop. When breaking through an enemy army, various accidents will always happen, including stray arrows, traps, sneak attacks, and even a sprained foot.
Wu Gen looked at the people around him. Except for Baoxiang, everyone was more or less injured. The sky is getting brighter, and if we don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.
Wu Gen tightened the package around his body and prepared to lead someone to rape him. From the high platform to the entrance of the path, there is still a distance of more than ten feet. Although it is climbed from the cliff, it does not pass through the main road. But if these orcs were pressed against each other, the distance of more than ten feet would be the difference between life and death.
After greeting Wu Gen, just as he was about to stand up, Liu You put away the skin bag handed over by Bao Xiang and suddenly stopped him, "If you run over like this, we will inevitably become a living target. We have to block the orcs." As he said, He took out his own round wheel and said, "Later, I will push the flywheel to the edge of the stone platform and let it self-destruct to block the orcs' attack. I will use this opportunity to escape from this place."
Wu Gen couldn't help but be stunned. This round flywheel looked like a good magic weapon. Liu You was really willing to bring it all the way to Dayizhou.
"That's not right. This is your magical weapon. Just throwing it here is a waste. It's not far from here to the path, so it's better to keep it with you. This time, Brother Liu can risk his life to accompany me to retrieve the treasure. , I'm already grateful, don't let Brother Liu suffer too much loss." Wu Gen quickly tried to persuade him.
Liu Shu waved his hand and used his still mobile right arm to take off the round wheel, "No matter how precious the dead things are, how can human life be important? I got so many chalcedony this time, all thanks to you Wu Gen. I don't know if I can save them." How many tribesmen can repay such kindness with a small flywheel? However, there is a lot of negative energy hidden in my flywheel, so you should be careful to avoid accidental injury."
Holding the flywheel in his hand, Liu Youyou gently rubbed his face, feeling reluctant to leave. Immediately, his face became solemn, and while he was mumbling something, the flywheel suddenly flew up and flew straight towards the edge of the high platform. The orcs blocking the mountain road shot arrows at the flywheel.
Liu You pointed forward with his hand, and the flywheel immediately started spinning faster and faster. The friction between the edge and the air made a harsh buzzing sound.
"Open." Liu You yelled, and the flywheel exploded suddenly. The dazzling light made the Cyanwood Mountain seem like a daylight rising, and it stung people's eyes.
A faint smoke appeared from the self-destruction point of the flywheel, gradually sinking, and landed on the top of the orc's head. At first, the orcs were a little confused. They didn't know why these infiltrators wanted to set off such a big firework.
While he was wondering, suddenly there was an orc who was trembling all over and looking strange. Immediately afterwards, the person tore at his body, screamed wildly, and kept rolling like insects crawling under his skin. In pain, the orc stabbed his body with a knife like crazy, as if he wanted to take out the foreign object inside.
Everyone was shocked by his weird behavior and stayed away. Soon, the orc became more crazy, salivating, eyes confused, panting heavily and scanning the people around him. He suddenly let out a howl that didn't sound like a human voice, and rushed towards his companions with weapons in hand.
Caught off guard, several orcs were injured by it. Seeing that the situation was not going well, other people tried to step forward to stop him. But for some reason, this person's strength suddenly became much stronger, and several people worked together to pin him to the ground.
The orcs just breathed a sigh of relief, and soon someone else showed such symptoms. Suddenly, the mountain road was full of chaos, with the sounds of fighting and angry shouts mixed together, and there was no one to care about those few sneaking in. Cave thief.
"Let's go." Wu Gen asked Shui Congyue to protect Baoxiang, and asked Feng'er to look at Qihe. He and Liu You supported each other, taking advantage of the moment when the light after the self-destruction of the flywheel disappeared and everyone's eyes went dark, from the entrance of the cave. Climb up the cliff and rush towards the path not far away in the dark.
Fortunately, fortunately, due to the commotion just now, the attention of the pursuing orcs was diverted. Only some people shot a few arrows here and there, and the six of them successfully entered the path.
On the path, the six people used the small trees and vines on the mountain wall to escape quickly downwards. The orcs will react sooner or later, and they are more familiar with the mountains. Only by taking advantage of this gap can they run as far as they can.
After running about half the distance, there was movement from behind. You can see through the starlight that some orcs are using their hands and feet, screaming strangely, and moving quickly across the cliffs like apes.
"Don't stop, let's go." Wu Gen took out the snake eagle and shot it behind him from time to time. Soon a piece of sky crystal was consumed. There's just one drawback to this thing. Without the sky crystal, it's just scrap metal.
Finally, the six of them arrived at the exit of the path at the foot of the mountain. After passing through the narrow cave, Wu Gen suddenly stopped, pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "Smash it."
The six people started working together, their swords flew together, rocks fell down one after another, and the narrow entrance to the cave was quickly blocked. After the cave, I soon heard the sound of someone digging into the rocks.
After rushing out of the ravine, there were a lot of people outside. Many people were still running up the mountain. There were torches everywhere in the camp. The six of them finally rushed back to Dao Hei's camp under the cover of darkness.
There were a few people standing sparsely in the camp, sleepy-eyed, watching the movements on the mountain with confusion. Most of the people in the camp here have been taken away by swords and hyenas, and the only ones left behind are the old, weak, sick, and slaves accompanying the army.
Seeing Wu Gen and others, someone asked in confusion: "Why do you look like this, and what happened?"
Wu Gen and others said nothing, and passed through the empty camp like the wind, leaving only a few people who didn't know what was going on and looked suspicious. All the way through the wilderness, the six people did not dare to stop at all. In flat areas, the orcs' numerical advantage will become even more prominent.
Running around the Cyanwood Mountain all night, Wu Gen insisted on wading through the water even though it was difficult to walk on his feet and took a long detour when encountering water. These orcs will inevitably have some tricks to follow the group of people by smelling their scent.
When it was getting brighter, Wu Gen just stopped and asked a few people to find a hidden place to rest. This night of climbing mountains, digging rocks, killing enemies, and running wildly was a bit too much for everyone, even if they had advanced cultivation skills. Especially Liu You, who had suffered a serious love injury, it was really hard for him to hold on.
On the other hand, Wu Gen was in better condition. He was injured many times and even had his ribs broken, but he was still alive and kicking. However, his belly was much smaller. Wu Gen knew that the whole Bailang fruit was constantly replenishing his vitality.
While resting, Wu Gen held a few healing ammunition brought from Zhao State and looked at Liu You with some worry. Liu You belongs to a foreign race, and these elixirs contain more or less spiritual energy. It is not impossible for him to become violent on the spot after eating them.
Liu You, who was resting against the tree, noticed Wu Gen's embarrassment and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Thank you, I just need to rest for a while, don't worry."
Wu Gen sat down against him and sighed: "I feel a little sorry that you broke a magic weapon this time. I still have some treasures I picked up along the way. You might as well pick a few over."
Liu You smiled and shook his head, "Why is that? This time I got Xuan Ning Chalcedony and Seven Star Grass. This trip is complete and I don't want anything more."
Liu You suddenly turned his head, "Wu Gen, you know, my father died of spiritual energy. I have been a riding slave since I was a child, and my ancestors all made a living by herding cattle. In order to give me a way out, my father was willing to sacrifice Go to the mine that contains spiritual energy to collect medicine for the master of the clan.
As a result, he was unfortunately infected with spiritual energy and died of pain after returning. My father sacrificed his life to buy this path for me. Ever since I was little, I have often dreamed of him in the dead of night. Therefore, I have long been satisfied with the chalcedony that can cure spiritual energy poisoning during this trip to the Great Relic Continent. "
Wu Gen did not expect that this seemingly cheerful man would have such a miserable life experience, which was somewhat similar to his own. It can only be said that under this sky, no matter who you are, the suffering at the bottom is the same. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat Liu You's shoulder lightly.
Liu You looked up at the sky, where a few floating clouds suddenly gathered and dispersed, and sighed: "If there was no spiritual energy and adverse energy in the world, like the Great Relic Island, how many human tragedies would be avoided."
For a moment, everyone was speechless, and even Qi He, who had the deepest prejudice against Liu Youcheng, had dim eyes. Yes, from childhood to adulthood, they have all been taught that aliens are immoral and cruel, and monsters often appear where spiritual energy and adverse energy meet. Naturally, they think that aliens are all monster-like existences. However, as the contact with Liu You deepened, he discovered that the aliens were just like the human race, with flesh and blood, joy and sorrow, family and close friends, and they were more human than some so-called human races in Da Yizhou.
The existence of spiritual energy and adverse energy caused the two clans to become undying enemies, which inevitably made the group sigh.
After resting, the six people got up again to look for the remaining people. When it got dark, we finally met up with Ye Ziming and others.
How could the orcs be content with such a big commotion here? The group of people did not dare to stay near Cyanwood Mountain and hurried south. Sure enough, two days later, seven or eight orcs appeared behind Wu Gen and others. These people all have human heads and horse bodies, and they come and go like the wind on the plains. They should be scouts sent by the orcs. Seeing Wu Gen and others, the orcs whistled and crowded over, ordering several people to stop and look carefully.
The leading orc took out a piece of tree bark with a human figure drawn on it. After carefully comparing it, the orc's expression suddenly changed and he turned around to leave.
"Kill them." Before Wu Gen could finish speaking, Shui Congyue and others had already rushed out. Let these people escape and wait for the large group of orcs to arrive. No matter how good they are at fighting, how can they be defeated?
After a chase and fight, these orcs were killed. Only then did Wu Gen remember that he should be left alive to inquire about the situation. In the midst of his annoyance, Yang Zheng stood up with some shame, "I didn't seem to strangle the orc just now, he should still be alive."
Several people were overjoyed and hurried over as Yang Zheng pointed out. Sure enough, the orc was not dead, but all four legs were broken and he was struggling to climb on the ground.
After asking about the situation, Wu Gen looked a little gloomy. The orcs were extremely angry at the attack on Cyanwood Mountain. They even stopped fighting with the feathered men and sent a large number of troops to search for the whereabouts of Wu Gen and others. Nearly 700 people came from the direction of this small team of scouts alone.
"Let's do it." Wu Gen waved his hand towards Yang Zheng, frowned and walked forward.
Yang Zheng was stunned, but he obediently took off his belt and awkwardly put it around the orc's neck. The latter struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
Ten days later, Wu Gen and others hid on a low hill and looked into the distance. Everyone had a lot of injuries, and even the holly bird had lost a large piece of its feathers.
In the past few days, two groups of orcs had caught up with them, and they escaped and hid here after experiencing a desperate fight.
Looking at the dust on the distant skyline, Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little desperate. Only a large group of people running could bring such a huge momentum.
