Under a series of ruins, a group of us hid inside.
At this moment, we are looking at the left front without any danger, which is exactly where we stayed before, but now there are nearly a hundred powerful dark energy waves gathered there, which are at least twice as powerful as us.
Probably realizing that we had escaped, the ghost babies quickly dispersed.
"Whizzing!"
Ghost babies kept flying by from a short distance away, but they failed to find us hiding behind the ruins. A group of us carefully hid behind the ruins, not daring to breathe for fear of attracting the attention of the ghost babies.
After finally waiting for the ghost baby to leave, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Liu Beihe also looked frightened, I couldn't help laughing and said: "Captain Liu, it's a good thing that we didn't have a head-on confrontation with the ghost baby, otherwise we would have been dead by now. Is it the turtle in the urn?"
I tried to persuade him with my words, and Liu Beihe's face suddenly turned green and white, and he argued: "How do I know that there is no movement at all in the barrier? It stands to reason that the barrier will react to the ghost babies in the ghost cave, so this group of people should be treated accordingly." The gathered ghost babies reacted!"
Although Liu Beihe was speaking arrogantly, he had to say that what he said was also a question. Everyone was thoughtful for a moment, but at this moment Xitu's voice rang out: "I think it may be because the barrier is also It has been eroded. The original barrier has been weakened a lot after more than five thousand years. If it is eroded by excessive dark air, the perception of dark air may become extremely slow, so... the breath of ordinary ghost babies It may no longer be possible to attract the barrier’s attention.”
"this..."
Hearing this, everyone frowned. We understood what Xitu meant. The general idea was that the barrier would only react to ghost babies that were extremely noisy or too strong, such as those in the two-star stage. There is simply no way to make the barrier react to them.
The prevalence of ghost babies in the Holy City is far more serious than we imagined, and there are only a few dozen of us at the moment. How dare we act without authorization? If we are not careful, we may be killed directly.
"Then what should we do now?" someone asked.
Everyone was in trouble for a moment, and then looked at Xitu and Galun one after another, hoping that they could give suggestions, but they couldn't come up with any effective ideas. Xitu said awkwardly: "Sorry, we are now There is no good way, other than waiting for other teammates to come in, otherwise it would be too risky to act if we are the only ones."
"Perhaps this is the only way." Yuan Liang sighed, then asked for advice, and said: "In this case, we are taking a risk by staying here, so should we go back the same way now and wait until the number of people has grown a few times? Come back after twice the time?"
As Yuan Liang spoke, he looked at the captains with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, I said I had no objection, but Tom and Liu Beihe had a big objection. They said that if they went back to wait for someone, they didn't know how long it would take, and if it was too late now, things might get worse, so they firmly opposed it.
The idea is reasonable, but it is easy to lose your life. Our team of thirty people may not even be able to finish the Holy City and die on the way. But if we delay important events because of this, we will become sinners.
Both ideas have advantages and disadvantages. Everyone was arguing about it for a while and couldn't come up with an idea for a long time. Finally, we finally reached a consensus, which was to divide the troops into two groups.
Send a few people back to wait for others, while the remaining people go forward first, and finally choose a place to gather.
Yuan Liang pointed to a tall tower that was still standing in the distance, and said in a somewhat excited tone: "Have you all seen the tower in front of you? That should be the Holy Tower. We will gather under that tower in a while. Are there any questions?"
Yao Wen once said that there was a holy tower in the holy city, which was once a treasured place for cultivators, but it was unknown whether it was destroyed. The tall tower still standing in the distance at this moment undoubtedly meant that the holy tower was not damaged.
"No problem." Everyone shook their heads.
"But who will go back and who will stay?" At this time, Galen's soul asked.
Hearing this, everyone was a little silent. Everyone knew that there were opportunities in the Holy Tower. As the saying goes, first come, first served, who would be willing to lag behind others in the face of such opportunities?
Yao Wen did not explain clearly what opportunities there were in the Holy Tower, but just by comparing the still standing Holy Tower with the surrounding buildings that had been reduced to ruins, he knew that this Holy Tower must be extraordinary.
Everyone has come here, how can they be people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? As long as there are enough benefits, everyone is not afraid of danger, so at this moment, most people are basically unwilling to go back, but want to take this opportunity to break out. Once you venture out, if there is a great opportunity to further improve your strength, you will make a fortune!
"..." Everyone was silent for a while, making the atmosphere a little awkward.
Seeing this scene, I thought that if no one wanted me to go back, just in time to see where Lin Wei and Ye Yuyou were. Just as I was thinking this, Liu Beihe suddenly glanced at me and said in a strange tone: " Let me tell you, if everyone doesn’t want to go back, then we have to choose people. It’s better for the weak ones to go back. If they stay, they won’t be of much use and they’ll be vulnerable to danger.”
When he said this, Liu Beihe almost put his eyes on my face, so everyone naturally followed Liu Beihe's gaze and looked at me. Seeing this, I was speechless. This Liu Beihe is really annoying.
Yuan Liang frowned and said: "Captain Liu, could you please stop targeting Captain Ye all the time? It will never be his turn to go back no matter what. He is one of the captains, there is no doubt about this."
"I'm not targeting him. Look at his strength. He hasn't even reached the mid-two-star peak. Is he worthy of the position of captain?" Liu Beihe said angrily.
"Captain Ye's strength is not limited, and his strength is no worse than the ordinary two-star late stage!" Yuan Liang said solemnly.
"Isn't that just equivalent to the late stage of a two-star team? Do you think any captain's strength is not at the peak of a two-star team?" Liu Beihe snorted coldly.
Seeing that they were about to start a quarrel, I coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, there's no need to argue. I'll just go back."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that I actually surrendered and chose to go back. Even Yuan Liang looked at me in surprise and murmured: "Captain Ye, you..."
"Someone has to go back, and everyone knows the current situation. The crisis in the ancient battlefield may not only be the possessed spirit itself, but also the invading ghost infant, so someone must bring this information back!" I said in a deep voice.
Seeing what I said, many people were immediately in awe. Not many people can give up their personal interests for the sake of the collective. Immediately, several people expressed their willingness to go back with me to report the news.
"You don't have to go back too much at once, otherwise the people left behind will be in danger." I said to them.
Hearing what I said, Anyang stepped forward and said to me with a smile: "Zi Zi, let me go back with you. The two of us will be companions, lest someone say that the weak person staying here will get in the way."
Hearing this, Liu Beihe suddenly felt like the bottom of a pot.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back together, but before that, everyone must give us a ride, otherwise it may be difficult for us to pass this distance."
"That's natural." Everyone nodded.
After confirming that there were no ghost babies around, a group of us hurried back. Compared with places such as the Holy Forest and the Holy Sea, where it is difficult to identify the direction, the Holy City is obviously easier to identify the location.
Soon, a group of us returned to the exit of the temple, but at this time we encountered a new problem, because we found that there were already a large number of ghost babies guarding the exit, including the one at the peak of the two stars. Azabu ghost baby is also among them.
Seeing this scene, our expressions all changed. The ghost baby actually waited at the exit, a necessary place. This kind of cunning behavior is quite rare, because most of the ghosts have quite a lot of intelligence. low.
I never expected that these ghost babies have such high IQs!
