Shen Hao jumped down, and the flame armor around him made a roaring sound, and there was a dense explosion of sound, like fried beans.
There is a constant crackling sound.
Shen Hao could clearly see what the things that rushed towards him were burned and crackled by the flame armor on his body. They were insects as dense as rain.
Not one or two kinds, but countless types and countless quantities. The area illuminated by the firelight was almost full of these things, with very few gaps.
Four commanders followed Shen Hao. They also had shields on their bodies, but they were not in flame armor like Shen Hao.
It is already difficult to condense the flames into armor, and it also needs to emit the raging temperature and violence like Shen Hao's body, which almost breaks the common sense of fire magic. The four of them were very curious about how Shen Hao did it, and even the clothes underneath showed no signs of being burned.
These four people would not know that Shen Hao was using the fire method on the outside, but the cold air was generated by the water method on the inside. However, the cold air was very thin and attached to his clothes, offsetting the temperature of the fire method that was violently raging inwards. It will not scorch clothes or even make Shen Hao feel hot.
From jumping down to stepping on the ground, it took three breaths. The depth of this deep pit really shocked Shen Hao. If it weren't for the skill of lightening his body and using chops to use the pit wall from time to time, he would have been able to smash down from this height. If you dabble in physical training, you will definitely get injured.
The same was true for the other four people, who all underestimated the depth of this pit.
After stepping on it, including Shen Hao, the expressions on their faces were all ugly. It was not that they were shocked because of the poor unloading force of the fall, but because they fell along the road. With the light of Shen Hao's flame armor, they saw that there were tunnels in all directions of the pit! They are about half a person tall and can be easily passed by while bending down.
Coupled with the deep pit that took three breaths to reach the ground, at least one result is certain, that is: this place was definitely not dug out today, this is the escape route that Li Xinghe had prepared for himself long ago!
What is an accident? That's it.
Now Shen Hao realized that his previous preparations were still hasty, and he lacked predictions for a beast-controlling monk like Li Xinghe who didn't know the way. Or to put it bluntly, I took it lightly.
No wonder Li Xinghe didn't panic at all when he found himself in jail before, and even stood there without even escaping. It turns out that the bottom of this tavern has been covered with tunnels for a long time. He only needs to open up the last layer of cover and support to enter the preset escape environment.
Chase? Of course I have to chase him. But once you step on the ground, the snakes, rats and mosquitoes rushing towards you like waterfalls from all directions are also very troublesome.
There are too many, and the fire will not turn into fly ash in an instant. The smoke raised will obscure all sight, and it will have the opposite effect of blocking the densely packed holes around it.
Freezing is also not advisable. After freezing, stacking up is much larger than killing it directly, and it is also not beneficial to subsequent actions.
So the best way is actually to use Zhenqi or Zhenyuan to directly shock them to death and turn them into mud and water. Although the smell is a bit unpleasant, it kills quickly and does not block the road or line of sight.
But this is still too slow for Shen Hao. Now I can still feel the slightest trace of Li Xinghe's soul remaining in the air, but if it takes a little longer, it will all be gone.
"You guys go up and follow my soul mark! I'll chase him!" Shen Hao didn't explain much at all. After saying this, he immediately used his escape technique and quickly followed Li Xinghe's soul aura to catch up. The four commanders were left frowning and hesitating to speak. In the end, they could only stomp their feet and throw a soul mark from Shen Hao to climb up again, preparing to cooperate with the people on the ground.
"Is Mr. Shen too impulsive? The traces of the soul dissipate very quickly. Can he keep up with him? Besides, you can't detect too many subtleties when you are fleeing from the earth, right? It's better for us to look for traces to pursue them. Go down."
"Humph, what does it have to do with you and me whether you are impulsive or not? Just obey the order. There is no rush to pursue the pursuit. If Mr. Shen returns without success, it will not be too late to pursue it again. Just act according to the order now, don't Make your own decisions.”
The four commanders are all at the lower end of the Yuan Dan realm, and all four are at the seventh level. In terms of cultivation level alone, they are higher than Shen Hao. But none of the four dared to underestimate Shen Hao. Without mentioning his identity, they talked about the "sense of danger" they sensed from Shen Hao. It all showed that when it came to fighting ability, Shen Hao, a guy at the sixth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, seemed No worse than those at the seventh level.
Although it is not easy to accept, it is not impossible. After all, Shen's name as a "genius" has spread throughout the Xuanqing Guard, and some people even arrogantly called him a "proud monk."
Don’t underestimate it, don’t underestimate it. But some common sense still needs to be taken into consideration. Therefore, in the eyes of these four people, even if Shen Hao knew how to escape, chasing him would be futile and a little too impulsive. But they knew the weight of Xuanqing Weili's orders, and they were not allowed to make decisions on their own, whether it was self-protection or rules. After all, it was agreed upon before coming here, and Shen Hao has the final say here.
So even though these four people felt that 70% of them might have let Li Xinghe escape, no one said anything.
But what the four people didn't know was that Shen Hao's methods were different from their common sense. What seemed impossible to them would have another result for Shen Hao.
underground.
Shen Hao relied on the Earth Escape Technique to move forward at extremely fast speeds. Others can't do other things in the state of earth escape and can't understand the surroundings, but Shen Hao can. His "Five Elements Profound Qi" is as stable as a mountain rock, and the possibility of its deviation is extremely small. In addition, the strength of his soul and meridians far exceed the realm of cultivation, so there is no need to worry about "multitasking" when performing spells.
"Sniff...over here! Why are you moving so fast?"
The four commanders thought that Shen Hao relied on perception to track the remaining soul aura of Li Xinghe, but in fact, Shen Hao did not rely on perception alone, but relied more on his "nose".
That's not right. To be more precise, it should be the black beast tattoo on his chest that gives him a keen sense of soul energy. Just like a glutton who can smell the aroma of food from a long distance and even distinguish the types of dishes. As for the obsession with soul energy, Shen Hao is extremely sensitive to the remaining breath of the soul because of the black beast tattoo.
Combined with his perception, Shen Hao's ability to track the remaining soul aura is more than twice as strong as that of ordinary monks.
Therefore, the combination of these two items gave him the confidence to catch up with Li Xinghe.
But at first, Shen Hao thought he could intercept the opponent in the pre-set encirclement, but after chasing him for a few breaths, he discovered that the opponent was moving surprisingly fast underground against the tunnel, and soon he was directly out of the pre-set ground. Not to mention the encirclement set up, it also went directly outside the scope of the town.
"According to the direction, is this going to the mountains to the east?"
