"What happened?"
When Ling Huan saw that Han Shang was suddenly so serious, it was difficult for him to speak. I saw Han Sheng looking into the depths of the courtyard. It was dark and extremely quiet, as if no one had ever been there. He said solemnly:
"Do you still remember how to light this candle?"
"Did...you light it up?"
"These two flames are not ordinary fires and will not be extinguished easily. I have set up a magic spell to connect them. If there is nothing strange here, then there must be some accident on their side."
Although Han Chang's tone was very cautious, even he was too sure of what he said. Because wherever you look, the entire courtyard is very quiet. At this moment, the moon emerged again, looking pale and dim on a land that had lost the protection of candlelight.
"We should go..."
Before Ling Huan finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the ground seemed to be shaking. She thought it was an illusion, but she also saw the shock on Han Chang's face. The two heard the metal ring on the door slamming hard on the wooden door, and turned around at the same time. The dust on the door was falling, and the walls were falling off one after another. It seemed that something was knocking hard on the door outside.
The two of them retreated step by step, gradually moving away from the door.
Snapped!
There was a loud noise and the board fell to the ground. What suddenly appeared in their eyes was a pair of huge stone lions. They were burly and grinning. They stepped onto the wooden planks and approached them step by step.
Ling Huan's face turned pale, Han Sheng pulled her back slowly. In the face of such a thing, turning around and running away is a life-threatening choice. Hanshang's mind quickly thought about countermeasures: What should we do? Fire attack? Stone is not afraid of this. This pair of lions must have been cursed by the Wuyong family and alarmed them. I'm afraid the Wuyong family will know about it soon. Sure enough, he was still wondering why there were no precautions in this courtyard... It seemed that he was right.
As soon as he raised his hand, a fire shot up from the ground. But of course it was of no use. The two lions came through the fire unscathed. Han Chang clenched his fists and pushed Ling Hu behind with his other hand, asking her to find Xie Zhe and the others. She naturally refused, and in this situation, no one dared to do anything easily. The lion suddenly rushed toward him, and Han Zhang had to draw his sword to fight. To say that this sword from heaven is indeed strong, even if it can be cut in two by an ordinary sword, it would leave a huge gap. In order to withstand this powerful force, Han Chang's feet were pushed out of two deep ravines. Fortunately, he reacted in time and adjusted his movements quickly enough, otherwise it would not be a joke to have a sprained foot and a broken leg.
He turned around and wanted to shout "Go quickly" to Ling Huan, but unexpectedly found that she was holding a book in her hand.
Wanguishi...?
when? She...had it with her all the time?
Looking at Ling Huan's determined expression, he felt a little dazed. Shigeyue-kun used amber to "heal" the scar on her arm, but it is unknown whether that special ability was taken away. And if I continue to do this, I wonder if there will be any bad consequences - such as being sucked into the book? This was not something I was scaring myself from, it was something that really almost happened in the past. But before he had time to think about it, the stone lion increased its strength on its forelimbs. He immediately concentrated on it, used his sword to move it away, and threw it aside.
The lioness was approaching step by step in the direction of Ling Yu. They seemed to be breathing - their chests really rose and fell, and the heavy, ferocious breathing could be heard next to them. Their expressions and limbs are more vivid than when they were seen at the door before, and they seem to be larger. I saw Ling Huan flipping through Wan Gui Zhi, holding down a page he was turning with his index finger, and then reaching out with his right hand. The moment her fingers touched the paper, she suddenly pulled her hand away. A thick black smoke spread outwards along her fingers. Soon, a large cloud of mist erupted from the book, forming something extremely tall. Ling Huan closed the page and stepped back, shouting "Be careful" at the same time. Han Zhang had no time to get away when he was parrying with another stone lion, so he had to move aside after a few steps. He only stepped back a foot, and suddenly his back touched something rough.
wall? No, the wall is still far away.
He turned around and saw a tall tree.
Han Chang's eyes widened, he was startled, and he immediately stepped aside. That tree was not just a tree. Its bark was rugged and raviney, and its burrs and hollows formed an old and deep face, no different from a human being. When the lion in front of it pounced, it stretched out a pair of strong branches to resist it. The lioness was pushed away by the old tree spirit, then shook her head, stood up from a short distance away, and rushed towards it unwillingly. This time, the human-faced tree spirit entangled it tightly with its coiled roots like a crouching dragon. If it was really just an ordinary lion, I'm afraid he would have suffocated to death long ago. However, for this monster, the restriction of movement also made it feel uncomfortable. It kept stirring its body, twisting its limbs, biting and tearing at the roots that trapped it.
Han Zhang and Ling Hu were about to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but the lioness broke free from the restraints, escaped from the roots and rushed towards them. Han Zhang quickly pushed Ling Hu aside with quick eyes and hands, but he was violently knocked out. He fell to the ground hard, and next to his head was a raised stone on the wasteland. If I accidentally smashed my head just now, everything would be over. But Han Zhang didn't have time to be afraid, so he stood up straight as a carp and jumped onto the back of the oncoming lion. Although Ling Huan was not injured, Han Zhang's pushing of her just now was an internal force, and now her body bones are about to fall apart. The lion who fought with the human-faced tree spirit was slightly better and defeated this behemoth. As soon as she managed to hold herself up, she saw the giant tree falling down, disintegrating into black dust and disappearing into ashes the moment it hit the ground. However, the stone lion was also injured and one of its hind legs was broken. It could no longer pounce and had to limp toward the eagle. Ignoring the pain all over her body, she immediately got up from the ground in a hurry, clutched Wan Guizhi and ran towards Han Chang who was fighting hard.
It doesn't seem like a wise choice to fight a stone monster with a metal sword. Even such a special weapon can only guarantee that it will not be destroyed when defending, but it cannot attack. However, Han Zhang seemed to have mastered some key points. He poured his inner strength and demonic energy onto the divine sword, and the sword was glowing with golden light like it had been in the past. He slashed at the attacking stone lion again and again with his sword, as if the sparks really burned it, making a "sizzling" sound, and also left black marks on the stone, with a deep hole in the center. of depression. The sword's light became brighter and brighter, as if it had been forged again and had been tempered for thousands of times under the hammer.
This is extremely draining of energy, and Han Chang is constantly adjusting his breath. His arm felt sore and numb, and he felt no pain for the time being, only feeling a little weak. Although the stone lion looked riddled with holes, it actually seemed to have only been tickled, attacking him tirelessly over and over again. When he took off this time, Han Zhang just raised his sword, preparing to withstand the impact. The protection on the sword had just been washed away, and he had not yet had time to gather more spiritual power.
Bang!
A huge, flaming wheel rushed towards the lion from the side. There seemed to be a bare human head in the center of the wheel, with a hideous face like an ox's head and a horse's face. Before he could see it more carefully, the wheels flew from here to there and disappeared without a trace. The stone lion received this strong impact and was shattered along the cracks cut by Han Shang, scattered all over the ground before landing. Rubbles flying everywhere fell like hail, Han Zhang covered his face, and was hit in several places all over his body. There was nothing I could do, he was too close and I couldn't hide. But being hit by the flying rocks is much better than being crushed by a whole stone lion.
"ah!"
It was Ling Huan's cry. She was not far away and was hit on the head by a large rock. Stars flashed across her eyes and she fell to the ground again. No need to think about it, she must have used Wangui Zhi to summon the demon named Rinnerdo. The disabled lion was slowly approaching her, and Han Chang rushed forward. In this short distance, he noticed a detail.
Some of the broken stones were dark in color and had red fire spots, burning up the weeds beneath them.
Can't rocks be attacked with fire? No, everything in the world can be baptized by fire. He was able to burn the porcelain cup before, so why not the stone? Common sense concepts tend to lead to preconceptions. So there can only be one reason why they are not afraid of fire.
The fire is not strong enough.
Han Zhang rushed forward, suddenly threw his sword to the ground, and stood in front of Ling Huan. Ling Huan's vision was still blurry, and he could barely see the silhouette of Han Shan in front of him. That red dress is really eye-catching.
He stopped the stone lion head on.
The impact of a lame lion is naturally not as strong as it was just now. He grabbed the lion's head with force, and his whole body suddenly burned. Ling Huan felt a burst of heat in front of him, which made his face feel hot. She covered the hit head and felt a damp heat, fearing it might bleed. She pushed herself up with one hand and staggered just as she stood up. But now her vision was much clearer, and she could see the scene in front of her at a glance.
She could clearly see that in the dazzling, almost pure white flames in front of her, there were nine enchanting smoke waves...like the tails of a fox. She seemed to have seen this scene more than once.
The light was too harsh and she raised her arms to cover her eyes. After the light dissipated, she finally slowly lowered her hand. In front of her, in addition to a somewhat tired figure, there was also a pool of dark lava in front of him. The lava covers a large area and glows with an orange-red shimmer. Occasionally, a golden magma bubble rises, but it disappears in an instant.
Han Chang wiped his sweat and said nonchalantly, "Okay, we have to get there quickly... Hey, you're injured!"
In his eyes, Ling Huan's face was covered in blood, which looked really scary. Ling Huan just waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter! It's just a skin injury. But, your ears..."
He hurriedly touched his face. In addition to the fox's pointed muzzle, there is also a pair of furry ears. Han Chang was a little embarrassed, but Ling Huan laughed.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
