When Lin Yan came over, Lan Xing and Wen Xue had already made arrangements, and everyone was moving quickly.
I found a large rock on the edge of the cliff, one to two meters higher than the ground. There was a platform on the large rock. One side was in the direction the blood scorpion was chasing, and the other side was suspended in the air.
Climbing up, Lin Yan took a look. For now, he could only take the risk and hide here.
"Everyone, hurry up, gather all the firewood there, and throw the rest up to me." Lin Yan shouted while taking the dead branches thrown up by someone unknown.
Fortunately, the platform is big enough, otherwise it would be crowded just by standing on it.
Guessing that Lan Yue was about to reach her limit, Lin Yan jumped off the stone and shouted, "You all go up, and I'll change Lan Yue back."
Lan Xing looked at Lin Yan's running figure, did not hesitate, and quickly ordered the people collecting firewood to get on the platform.
Seeing everyone coming up, Wen Xue said, "When Lin Yan and Lan Yue come back, I'll hold on for a while. If I can't hold on anymore, I'll light the fire again."
Blue Star: "Okay."
Their eyes were fixed on Lin Yan and Lan Yue. They had not yet seen what the blood scorpion looked like.
Within a few minutes, Lan Yue and Lin Yan came quickly, followed closely by a red line not far behind them, rushing towards the big stone.
The two moved very fast, like a gust of wind. As soon as they came up, Lin Yan shouted: "Hurry up and light the fire. Wen Xue, set up a defense line one meter away."
Wen Xue understood it instantly and activated her mental power.
Without any hesitation, Blue Star threw the torch in his hand. In order to burn quickly, they just sprinkled some of the hemp oil they had eaten, and the fire started instantly.
The fire was so fierce that it formed a line of fire two meters away from the stone platform, and the rushing blood scorpions rushed into the sea of fire.
But there was a braver blood scorpion who was not burned to death. He rushed through the line of fire and hit Wen Xue's mental protective layer.
Lan Xing and others were already prepared, raising the swords in their hands, preparing to fight the blood scorpion, but they were shocked by this scene and stopped.
They all know that people with mental abilities are extraordinary. Their vision at night is unrestricted and they can detect danger earlier and faster.
However, this was the first time I saw that mental power could be used in this way. It was just in imagination before, but this time it was very concrete.
The blood scorpion charged fiercely, as if it was unstoppable, but it was blocked by something invisible. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't succeed.
Seeing that their expressions were slightly relaxed, Lan Yue said hurriedly: "Don't be too happy too early. Wen Xue can't hold it anymore. You have to move immediately. Wen Xue and Lin Yan are responsible for adding firewood. The rest of the people and I will kill the blood that rushes over." scorpion."
Lin Yan said: "You and I will kill the blood scorpions, and Wen Xue and Gao Qiang will add more firewood." Her fighting power is not weak, and it would be a waste to keep more firewood.
Lan Yue had no objection. At this time, if they can kill one more blood scorpion, their hope will be greater.
When they were blocking them there, some of the blood scorpions had already retreated when they saw that they couldn't rush forward. The remaining ones seemed like a large group, but not many could cross the line of fire. As long as they persisted for half an hour, they would be alive.
Through the flames, Lin Yan also saw that some of the blood scorpions behind had turned around and no longer rushed towards the sea of fire. This is a good sign. As long as you hold on, the Blood Scorpions will not be able to defeat them.
Wen Xue held on for seven or eight minutes. Her face turned pale and her body was shaky. She had obviously reached her limit.
Lan Yue hurriedly let her rest, and led the men to kill the blood scorpions that had crossed the line of fire and headed towards the stone platform.
There were only a few blood scorpions that could rush onto the stone platform. Lan Yue and Lin Yan were nimble and could raise and lower their knives quickly and accurately, leaving no room for others to use.
Jian Fang raised the knife in his hand several times, but before he touched the blood scorpion, it had already been dealt with and the body was thrown down.
He looked at Lin Yan and Lan Yue who were like ghosts. The two were equally matched, and their speed was definitely beyond what he could achieve. Not only him, they are the only ones among these people who can do it.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Lan Xing looked at him like a fool.
Thinking about his dissatisfaction with Lin Yan, Jian Fang felt that he was really a fool.
Along the way, Lin Yan's ability has been unparalleled. She is someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lan Yue. Why should he look down on such a person?
Just like the blue moon, he knew that he would never be able to catch up or surpass him throughout his life, he could only look up and catch up.
As for Lin Yan, he was even worse than Lan Yue.
They are all elusive people. Just like the sun in the sky, it is dazzling and brilliant, illuminating countless people. It is too difficult to compare with it.
Seeing Jian Fang's expression, Lan Xing silently reached out and patted his shoulder, whispering: "What are you thinking about? Cheer up, you can't let go of a blood scorpion."
After more than half an hour, the blood scorpions finally faded away, and their firewood was also used up. If the blood scorpions persisted stubbornly for a while longer, they would rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Lin Yan sat slumped on the stone, being roasted by the fire on a hot day and having to keep moving. The feeling was really sour.
Lan Yue wasn't much better, but she didn't lie on the stone regardless of Lin Yan, her face was red, holding a knife in one hand, and arranged: "Lan Xing, you take people to find firewood, and hurry up."
Although the Blood Scorpions have retreated, they don't know if they will come back, so they need to be prepared. In this situation, there is no better defensive place than here.
Wen Xue did not take action just now and recovered a little, leaving behind to guard the luggage. Except for the three of them, everyone else got off the stone platform.
Lan Yue and Lin Yan took the time to rest, nibbling on the cold steamed buns to quickly regain their strength.
At the critical moment, it's up to them to step up.
When Lan Xing brought the people back, Lin Yan and Lan Yue gradually recovered, and there was no sign of Blood Scorpion again, so everyone gradually felt relieved.
At this time, it was already around six o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting in the sky, and it would not be long before it would be dark.
After running and fighting for most of the day, I finally had a chance to breathe.
While cleaning the wounds on her body, Lin Yan asked, "Gao Qiang, is the meal ready?" She was about to starve to death. She had consumed too much this day and needed to have a good meal.
"Right now, wait another ten minutes." Gao Qiang stood by the fire, staring at the iron pot, adding some seasoning to it from time to time.
The meat in the pot was leftover from the day before. Fortunately, it was not lost, otherwise I would have been hungry by now.
This area may be dominated by blood scorpions, and it would be too difficult to find prey.
The remaining piece of meat became the only thing that could fill their stomachs. There were still a few dry steamed buns, but they had been chewed clean long ago.
A group of people guarded the iron pot eagerly, just waiting to eat.
Someone's stomach rumbled, as if some kind of switch had been turned on. One after another, the rumbles never stopped.
The people who were originally quiet could no longer hold back their laughter.
Lin Yan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that after escaping for his life, he would have to face such a dilemma.
