Compared with the bright spring scenery around the Agate Stone Plain, the climate in the South China Sea jungle area after crossing the Indigo Mountain Gorge is always unacceptably humid. Not to mention the fog and poisonous insects that pervade the forest, the continuous rain alone makes many people feel uncomfortable. Xiahui led the mountain people in the convoy to suffer a great deal.

Although they are also natives of Nanling, the two names "Forest People" and "Mountain People" fully illustrate the environment and climate to which they are adapted... This is also a shortcoming caused by the Terran people's excessive adaptability. , as long as they adapt to one extreme environment, they will also lose their tolerance to other extreme environments.

Fortunately, as a lord, Ian did not insist on speed. He was extremely kind and allowed everyone in the convoy to rest for a while in Trois-Rivières, allowing a group of members who were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea due to acclimatization to have time to recover.

Of course, in addition to this, there are other reasons for the team to pause their progress: the flooding of rivers caused by seasonal rains has also affected the roads around Trois-Rivières, and many lurking monsters have become active during this time. The creatures in the Flying Flame Land last year The attack has not yet been completely resolved, and several small caravans have already suffered heavy losses.

The convoy led by Xia Hui is naturally not afraid of attacks by monsters, but it is best to do as little as possible.

Under the dark rain clouds, the white-haired lord was walking in the misty jungle, while the green-haired swordsman looked around vigilantly, as if observing whether there were any followers.

The torrential rain washed away everything in the world, and the sound of raindrops colliding with leaves filled the world. Coupled with the thunder that exploded from time to time, it was almost impossible for anyone to hear their conversation.

Except for a group of assassins who had been lurking in the dark for a long time, patiently waiting for the two men to take action.

(The target and his escort have left the city and are heading to the suburbs...what are they going to do?)

Although Ian and Qingchao escaped from the crowded area, which was very much in line with their expectations, because they could not figure out the reason, the members of the Feiyan Land Dragon Worship Cult led by Grenade said in a deep voice: (Wait a minute, listen to what they want to talk about. What - they deliberately chose this time to come out to communicate, they must be talking about something more important!)

This is indeed the case. When Ian spoke, everyone's attention was drawn.

--prophet.

——Foreseeing Futaba!

A piece of information that shocked all members of the Dragon Worship Cult came out from Ian's mouth... It turned out that the reason why the alchemist lord personally traveled from Xiahui Leader to Harrison Port was not just to return home to visit relatives and old superiors. , and even more so because he got a crucial piece of news in the giant redwood forest!

A treasure "foreseeing twin leaves" that is passed down by an ancient Sequoia Aboriginal prophet and is said to be able to foresee storms and disasters!

The elves and demi-humans who originally criticized the actions of the Glimmer and wanted to directly attack Ian immediately listened attentively after hearing the news... It was not because Ian's voice was fascinating, but as long as the prophet was involved. Information on Terra is far more precious than gold and potions.

(There are also prophetic treasures in Nanling?)

The Elf Dragon Cult asked with some doubts, but it was not the Blade or the demi-human who answered, but a member of his own team responded quite excitedly: (Yes, Director! I foresee that even though Futaba is in Nanling It’s just a legend, but in recent years, in the face of big storms, the local redwood indigenous people have always been able to respond in advance... In fact, the local indigenous people have never suffered too many disasters due to natural disasters)

(Even if the Foresight Futaba is not a prophetic treasure, it is at least a sublimated magical object that can predict weather and natural disasters!)

——That is precious enough.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a little heavier... but this also brought some flaws.

"who is it?!"

Ian, who was about to talk to Qingchao until he could foresee where Futaba was, suddenly raised his head alertly, his eyes flashed with psychic light, and he asked with some surprise: "Who is here?!"

Because it has long been known that Ian possesses 'detective psychic powers', this time, the assassination force jointly organized by the Dragon Worship Cult of the Three Kingdoms specially used a sublimation rare object 'Night-Covering Membrane', a sublimation called 'Light-Covering Snake' Biological snakes shed as equipment.

This kind of creature cannot completely make itself invisible in psychic energy, but it can have a deflection effect, making people's psychic feedback as small as an ant, even if it is an ascendant, it is as big as a brittle bone sparrow.

And in Nanling, what should we be wary of about a group of brittle-bone sparrows? Unless the observer is extremely suspicious or has extremely keen observation skills.

Now it seems that Ian is both.

"attack!"

Now that they have been discovered, they no longer hide, but attack boldly and directly attack Ian - and the leader of the elf ordered in the communication channel: (Change the target! Don't kill him, but capture him interrogation!)

(Foreseeing Futaba...this kind of treasure, the people above will definitely like it!)

When one party captures the other party alive, it represents absolute crushing in terms of strength... It's like a close-up fight. The person who can feed the other party is definitely much stronger than the other party.

So, does the Dragon Cult really feel that their side's power has absolutely crushed Ian?

——Although we are not professional killers, we feel that we are stronger than Ian!

Generally speaking, it is.

(Ten people?!)

Seeing the ten black figures leaping out from the woods in the distance, even Qingchao, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't help but feel his mind agitation and sighed in his heart: (No wonder the boss said that the entire convoy couldn't stop it - —Three second levels, combined with seven well-equipped first levels, to assassinate us? It’s enough to attack us!)

(If the original rebel mountain people had such an army, then I would not dare to lead it alone!)

(The front is given to you.)

Ian narrowed his eyes, quickly looked at the enemy, and then he understood clearly, and then told Qingchao: (Remember - let's fight and retreat!)

(Um!)

Qingchao also entered a fighting state at this moment. He shouted loudly: "Sir, you go first!"

Snap, he reached out and grabbed Ian's right hand, and with a flick of his arm, he threw Ian towards the exit of the forest behind him. He drew his sword with his right hand and cut forward a wave of more than ten meters long.

"The main target is the White People!"

Without any hesitation, the assassination team split up, and the demi-human captain of the Cangtian Royal Court faced the Qingtide. His weapon was a huge alien-shaped crescent shovel that resembled a paddle. The dark shovel flashed with the cold and thick earth element. , cut into the Sword of Waves, smashed it directly, and then without changing its momentum, it smashed towards the swordsman.

"Condensing iron?"

Qingchao dodged to the right. He realized that the material of his opponent's weapon was a precious sublimated metal that could restrain all sublimation techniques such as "Essence Void" and "Air Splitting Blade". He fully understood what Ian said before, "They will specifically target us." Ability, so be careful 'what does this sentence mean.

Fortunately, he had already prepared to dodge, so he dodged and retreated. Captain Yaren's huge crescent shovel hit Qingchao's original position hard, and a large crater eight meters in diameter and three meters deep suddenly appeared. The wave of mud and sand swept nearly a hundred meters in all directions, and the rolling sound was like thunder exploding on the ground.

Qingchao avoided this powerful blow, then took the opportunity to raise his sword, rushed back into the mud wave, and pierced the throat of the demi-human captain with his sword - relying only on pure physical strength to hit this blow, even for the extremely talented sub-human. People also have to exert too much force and temporarily lose their breath!

But facing Qingchao's turning sword with extremely precise timing, the demi-human captain simply raised his head and breathed out a breath of dragon breath.

Buzz! The gray dragon's breath carried a strong corrosive aura. Wherever it passed, the rain reacted violently, bursting and rising into steam. Qing Chao, who originally thought he was about to cut off the opponent's head, suddenly turned around and faced him. To a life and death crisis.

At the critical moment, Qingchao suddenly lay down close to the ground, hiding his body in the muddy water, and then relied on his sublimation ability to control water to push himself sideways like a torpedo - this torpedo maneuver he learned from Ian There is no doubt that it is very useful, and it does allow him to avoid the enemy's fatal blow.

boom!

The gray corrosive breath passed through the place where Qingchao originally was and bombarded the ground. A large amount of mud, cement and soil directly rose and burned. In addition to corrosion, the heat energy carried by this breath was also extremely terrifying. The extremely active dragon-type acid liquid was not so much Melting a substance is more like disassembling the substance, and then activating the high-speed movement of molecules to generate huge heat energy!

Given time, this ordinary acid breath may evolve into 'fission breath' or 'electromagnetic collapse breath'!

Almost instantly, the area within tens of meters turned into a sea of ​​fire, and a huge heat wave surged up, evaporating all the mud and rainwater.

The last time Qingchao encountered such a life-and-death situation was when he dealt with the frost-baiting moth in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. Since following Ian, he has not encountered any dangerous situations even during the civil war among the mountain people. After breaking through the second energy level, with his increasingly sophisticated swordsmanship and increasingly stronger hard power, his combat ability has improved by leaps and bounds. It can almost be said that he is the strongest combat power that Xiahui Leader can dispatch.

But the enemy is not easy to deal with. This demi-human captain has a dragon-shaped breath organ and can kill almost any existence of the same level instantly. If Qing Chao hadn't been cautious and listened to Ian's teachings, he would have been killed just now.

But now, the demihuman captain's trump card has been exposed, so he is no longer a dangerous opponent.

"I can definitely hold him back or even kill him - but where is the boss?"

At this point, Qingchao even had enough energy to observe the battlefield on the other side with the corner of his eye to see what Ian's current situation was like.

Then, the swordsman's pupils vibrated rapidly.

Because, he saw that his lord unfolded his fairy wings, made a rapid attack, and almost teleported to the side of an enemy, while the steel-patterned sword that appeared like a ghost cut off his head.

The person whose head was cut off didn't even realize that he was dead. His body charged forward a few more steps before he stumbled to the ground and died with blood flowing all over the ground.

"Damn! He's faster than we thought!"

"Is this a goblin? Be careful, he can fly, suppress it!"

Qingchao heard the enemy's shocked and angry voice: "Don't scatter, work together in pairs!"

"He can't escape from our grasp!"

I was harassed by mosquitoes all night yesterday and couldn't write anything. Why are there still mosquitoes in November?

I will try to write more later today, but I can’t update it all at 8 o’clock, so please forgive me!
