The lush vegetation did its best to interfere with their return journey. Shanhai kept using the scabbard of his mahogany sword to cut away the grass, but it was very laborious. In the past, he could use a sword. Although it was made of wood, as long as he mastered the strength and skill, he could use the wooden blade to open a path with almost no damage to it. not now. The scabbard is dull and hollow, and it is hard to control the strength when swinging it.
Dai Luan chased him closely, her toes touching Shan Hai's heels with every step she took, just enough not to step off her shoes. This tacit understanding has been formed for a long time. Although she still has this worry in her heart, the memory of her body is already very deep. Of course, she had done this a lot before. If she were to take a step slower now, she would be hit in the face by the rebounding branches and grass, causing burns and pain.
They were not the only ones running towards that place, there were many people approaching them. But at this time, Shan Hai felt that there was an aura that went against the mainstream. Not far from me, someone was trying to escape. And he was probably very familiar with this person. While he was running, he suddenly stepped onto a branch and used Qinggong to pursue him for a few steps. Dai Luan was stunned and chased after him in a panic. After the crisp sound of the sword being unsheathed, Dai Luan pushed aside the bushes in front of him and saw Shan Hai stopping someone and confronting him.
"Wu Yuan..."
"Where are you going?" Before Dai Luan could finish speaking, Shanhai asked him, "Where is Liangqiu?"
Wu Yuangui raised his sword with a sideways hand and squinted his eyes, looking very alert although not hasty. Shan Hai heard that his meridians were flowing smoothly, but his breathing was chaotic, and most of his internal energy was lost. The clothes on his body were somewhat damaged, and it didn't look like he had been cut by a sharp object. The edges of those breaks were a little rough, and Shan Hai knew that Mu Wan's umbrella tip and umbrella air could achieve this effect. So the two of them must have fought each other.
"It seems that there was no winner in that battle." Shan Hai looked at him up and down, "Did you become a deserter?"
"Haha, Taoist Master Lin is too underestimated." Wu Yuangui didn't know whether he was being harsh or seriously disdainful. He sneered, raised his sleeve with his other hand, and said stubbornly:
"Besides, you are unarmed right now. I don't think you can fight me."
"Shan Hai didn't use iron when fighting before!" Dai Luan ran to Shan Hai and started making noises.
"If you are wise, I advise you to get out of my way quickly and stay out of the way!"
Shan Hai was not afraid of his sword swing, but said calmly: "You are just bluffing."
Surprisingly, Wu Yuangui rushed forward. Shanhai turned his face sideways, raised the wooden scabbard, and blocked his wrist. His strength was indeed less than what it should have been, but there was a desperate brute force. Shan Hai's fly whisk didn't have time to pull out, so he could only use the scabbard to fight back. What he said just now was just a test. He vaguely felt that Wu Yuangui was indeed not running away, but had another purpose, a purpose that he had to achieve despite all odds.
"Back off!"
Shan Hai roared at Dai Luan. He knew that in this situation, Wu Yuangui would use her as a shield at any time. Dai Luan understood his intention and immediately dodged back. He threw out a spell from Shan Hai's sleeve and threw it on the ground in front of Dai Luan. Dark green vines shot up from the ground and rolled in Wu Yuangui's stabbing sword and his right hand. He struggled twice in panic and found that the vine was biting very hard and could not be pulled out. Before Shan Hai made any other moves, Wu Yuangui turned his sword sideways, and the sharp sword energy suddenly expanded, cutting off many plants. The next moment he was able to break free, more Mufa talismans were deployed, and his entire arm was entangled in intricate rattan, making him unable to break free no matter what.
"Let's take it easy. Tell us, what other goals do you have? Where is Liangqiu? Where is She Ji?"
Shanhai's cold eyes were menacing. Although in Dai Luan's eyes, he was no different from usual. But there was a hint of interrogation, a hint of harshness in his tone and expression. Wu Yuangui looked at him. When he heard She Ji's name, the corner of his mouth suddenly twitched, as if he was smiling.
Suddenly, he raised his left hand and slapped the thick wall made of dense vines with his palm. The impact pushed Dai Luan away, and the structure of the entire vine became loose. Shan Hai noticed that in order to get rid of control, he let go of the nearly useless sword between the gaps in the plants. If he gripped the sword hilt tightly, the gap wouldn't be enough for him to escape. But at this moment, Dai Luan, who was pushed away, suddenly exerted force in the air, causing a weak blue-purple airflow to rush towards the vines. A layer of white frost was attached to the place where the air flow came into contact, and it spread at an extremely fast speed, freezing the vines that had just become distant, and biting Wu Yuan's forearm that had not yet been separated.
Dai Luan fell heavily to the ground. There was a stone next to her head, and she almost broke her head. But now her chest and back were aching, and she had not yet recovered. Shan Hai didn't have the energy to care too much. He only quickly analyzed in a short period of time that Dai Luan's power might be related to Qing Nu's soul. Furthermore, Wu Yuangui...he was too desperate. why is that?
Before they could figure it out, the master and apprentice heard a crisp sound at the same time - Wu Yuangui's arm was dislocated.
This is the result of his own efforts. The severe pain for a moment made him grimace, but his hand was finally pulled out successfully. After regaining his freedom, he ran in one direction without looking back, and neither of them had time to stop him. It would be better to say that he didn't react at all. Through the hole left by the Qingshuang vine wall, Shanhai looked at Aluan who was getting up slowly, feeling uneasy not just for her.
"What is he in a hurry for?"
Shanhai couldn't answer her question. He could only shake his head.
"Then, should we chase him now, or go find Mu Wan? By the way, where is Xiao?"
"Yun Waijing is on Miss Chi and Shaoxia Mo. I suspect that the change at that time was related to them."
"Shall we look for it separately?" Dai Luan patted the soil, "It's faster this way."
"No." Shan Hai refused.
"Why did you refuse so quickly? You should give it some thought..."
"No, I can't take the risk. Fortunately, the Xie Huayao you met is still somewhat sensible. If they succeed, she won't be able to retain any consciousness at all, and you may be dead long ago!"
"But, but you also saw it!" Dai Luan stretched out his hands and looked at his left and right palms, "I feel that I am... not as weak as before. You don't have to look after me all the time to use it, and I can't do it either. It won’t always be a drag…”
"Not negotiable."
No matter how much they quarrel, She Ji's whereabouts are indeed unknown. This left everyone worried, no one excepted. They were worried that She Ji had run away - he was more capable of doing such a thing than Wu Yuangui. After all, he had not taken care of all this property by himself. Compared with Wu Yuangui, he is extremely hypocritical. He only has goals in his eyes. His means are not important, nor is his dignity or chivalry.
Chi Li, Mo Liang and Mu Wan are in a tricky situation. Although some people were defeated by them, among the individuals they killed, tiny snakes crawled out of their mouths, ears, and noses. It is the same as an earthworm, but more agile than an earthworm; if it is like a loach, it is also as agile on land. Perhaps the metaphor of a leech is a better one. Once they bite someone, they never let go. It is unknown how toxic it is, but those who were bitten felt numbness in the wound, dizziness, nausea, and were unable to fight at all.
"too disgusting."
Mu Wan commented like this. I don’t know whether he is talking about these snakes or She Ji’s behavior.
Because some of them are small, it is difficult to prevent them. Soon some disciples said that if the opponent was killed by stabbing into the heart instead of cutting off the artery, the poison would not attack. Maybe some people have it and some don't, it's hard to judge. More and more people are giving more and more ideas: some say to attack the head, some say to attack the Dantian, but there is no definite answer. More and more comrades fell, but snakes kept coming out, making people helpless.
"Don't stay here!" The disciples who responded turned around and said to them, "Go and think of other ways. Find Wu Yuangui, or Master She... We've known something was wrong with him! As outsiders from the valley, you have done so for us. Thank you very much.”
"What if this turmoil was also caused by them?" A disciple said while fighting back, "There is no doubt about it. I advise you not to move around, maybe there is some conspiracy! We are doing this for the sake of our junior sister. Help out of face!"
"Let them go." The third person said. She wielded two swords with one hand and her movements were astonishingly fast. "We don't have any treasures for others to covet. At this point, although everything is not made clear, the matter is resolved. You must give an explanation later."
Chili was stunned briefly. The mixed feelings were probably like this, but her emotions were a bit dull and she couldn't fully comprehend the meaning. But what they said was so simple and straightforward. Perhaps what is really complicated is her own thoughts. Mu Wan was too tired to fight and had no chance to look at her, but she felt in her heart that all this would touch Chili in some way.
"I won't harm you." Chili suddenly said, "Because I am..."
Is she going to say it? Mu Wan thought to himself. Bai Di's scattered fluff blocked her vision a little, and she couldn't catch Chili's eyes.
"Okay, let's go." The fourth man cut off a flying snake for her and said, "before we regret it."
She and Mo Liang looked at each other, vaguely guessing that someone knew something. Although it may not be accurate, at least more people are willing to believe that they have good intentions. She felt that her estrangement towards Xue Yanzong had faded, like a piece of ice melting.
Therefore, Chili can't leave so easily now.
But what can be done? As the daughter of the sect master, she must come up with countermeasures quickly to preserve the sect's combat strength to the greatest extent. She couldn't completely count on Mu Wan, she was already very tired. Xiao was hidden back by Chili in the chaos. She was worried that someone would recognize him and do something dirty, which made it even more difficult to guard against. Therefore, at this critical moment, Yun Waijing cannot be used to deal with them.
"Mo Liang, go find Taoist Master and the others! If you encounter bad people, avoid them and never confront them head-on! It's not that I don't believe you but I hope..."
"I hope I can survive -" Mo Liang turned around and took a few steps back against the sword, "I understand, I'm going to... take care of myself."
With that said, he rushed down the hillside like a rock. Chi Li is still thinking of new ways to deal with the crisis at hand. While she was thinking hard, an arrow suddenly hit the ground behind her. The arrow feathers scratched the corner of her clothes, and she noticed it. Looking back, I saw a rather large venomous snake that had been stung for seven inches. The two parts of its body struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.
Mu Wan turned around at the same time and looked at the owner of the arrow - the visitor who didn't know when, with a look of joy on his face. The visitor once again took out an arrow from the quiver on his side and placed it on the bowstring.
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Ye Yuejun said.
