"What's going on? It's... dark?" Shanhui looked around in surprise. The big ship that was just in front of him was now shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to distinguish its outline. This is true even for such a huge target, let alone the booby traps floating from upstream.
This accident can be said to be a fatal blow to the plan.
Just relying on the water flow to propel it, it is definitely a small probability event to accurately hit the enemy ship temporarily docked at the dock. What's more, they only have four booby traps. If they don't use Xun Shu to intervene, they will be resigned to their fate.
"This is not mentioned in the plan. Should we continue to wait for the signal?" Luo Youer asked, somewhat at a loss.
Li stared at the shore for a long time, and suddenly raised his tail, "The plan is aborted, let's get out of here!"
"No wait?"
"This is not an ordinary change in the sky, this is the Great Desolate Night!" She bit her lip and said.
Through the darkness, a black shadow on the shore has broken away from its original fixed position and crawled on the ground.
It was just early morning, and there wasn't even a lit torch around Jinxia City. If they were surrounded by evil spirits in the open area, even if they could escape, none of the hundred people responsible for placing booby traps behind them would survive!
"Hold on to me!" Li hugged Luo Youer, used both legs at the same time, and jumped out of the side of the ship.
The huge impact made the boat almost turn over.
This jump took the two of them directly over a distance of six or seven meters, and landed steadily on the river bank.
"Ouch!"
The tengu jumped ashore soon after.
"where are we going?"
"Anywhere will do, as long as we don't stay in the open space!" Li ran all the way to the west, and soon ran into the Sword and Shield team who were still pressing the formation behind.
"Miss Li?" The captain who took the lead couldn't help being stunned, "Why are you back? And this day..."
"Don't ask so many questions yet, light a torch quickly! Or anything that can shine!" Li reminded loudly.
"Torches?" The other party responded quickly and immediately asked his subordinates, "Hey, did any of you bring a torch?"
After a while, four or five torches lit up one after another.
The moment the firelight dispersed the darkness, the husband took a deep breath!
I don't know when there were several black shadows around them. These shadows were like human figures with slender limbs. They were crawling towards where they were on their hands and feet - but they were clearly in a running posture, but they seemed to be frozen in the night. , there was no movement for a long time.
This is the first time he has seen such a battle!
"Is this... evil spirit?"
"It's much more troublesome than a simple evil spirit." Li took a breath and said, "Call your people over quickly. We must open up a safe base immediately. No one should leave the scope of the firelight!"
"But the booby traps are still in the box on the shore—"
"Don't worry about those things!" The fox demon interrupted loudly, "The mission is over!"
The captain looked hesitant. After all, the order given by the princess was to protect the lightning strike team from obstruction and ensure that the caster could concentrate on operating the booby traps.
"Let me do it." Luo You'er took a deep breath, walked out from behind Li, looked directly at the captain and said, "I am the warlock responsible for controlling booby traps. I think the current situation is no longer suitable to continue the mission. I hope you can take the lead." My subordinates will evacuate with me. No matter what the consequences are, I will be responsible, okay?"
After staring at her for a moment, the husband bowed his hands and saluted, then turned around and said, "Everyone listens to the order. The lightning protection team is now withdrawing back into the city. The torch bearer must ensure that everyone is within the light!"
"yes!"
Li patted Luo Youer's shoulder and said, "Well done." Then he took the lead and walked into the darkness, "Follow me, everyone!"
…
Beicheng District is now in chaos.
Whether it is the soldiers of the princess or the warriors of Dongsheng Kingdom, in addition to keeping an eye on the original opponent, there is now a new enemy.
And the charm in the darkness is far more threatening than the sword.
Not only did they move extremely quickly, they were not afraid of pain. Ordinary slashing and prodding were unable to stop their approach. In almost the blink of an eye, dozens of people were swallowed up by the charm and turned into wriggling cocoons.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, there happened to be people in the Privy Council who had gone through the Qingshan Town Shishi Examination, such as Wei Wushuang; there were also quasi-alchemists who had been eliminated in the early stage, but had conducted detailed inquiries and reviews of the Shishi Examination after coming to Jinxia City, such as Sun Haotian. Their immediate reminders and countermeasures saved the large army from destruction. New torches were constantly being lit on the battlefield. In order to expand the light, the army even set fire to two empty houses next to the stockyard.
In this blazing fire, the two sides were fighting each other, with the sound of swords clashing and roars everywhere. Sometimes people couldn't even tell whether their opponents were the same kind or evil.
"嚓————"
Ning Wanjun's thrust penetrated An Youlang's robe and made a crack nearly as wide as the palm of his hand on his right rib.
The latter's fingers also landed on her shoulders, tearing off a piece of flesh.
The two sides once again distanced themselves.
"Huh, huh..." Ning Wanjun felt as if her lungs were burning, and she could only keep breathing by breathing with all her strength. This was the first time she encountered such a difficult enemy since she awakened her ability to sense energy. Compared with the huge pressure exerted by the other party, the pain of the wound was actually less obvious.
After several rounds of fighting, she confirmed one thing.
That is, whether it is speed, strength, or reaction ability, this person is superior to me. The reason why she was not knocked down was due to the experience accumulated from many life-and-death battles on the battlefield.
That's right, this An family man is actually not good at battle duels.
She could sense the unfamiliarity and deficiencies in the opponent's skills.
But this shortcoming is being made up for little by little.
The opponent is also learning how to fight on the battlefield.
It was already difficult for her to exchange for the other party's injuries without being injured at all.
"Your Highness, let me help you!" A chief came out from the side and slashed at An Youlang with a knife.
"No, step back—" Before Ning Wanjun could finish her words, she saw An Youlang tilted his body, easily avoiding the attacker's chop, and clasped his face with his backhand.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the long hands that tried to break free fell down.
When he fell to the ground, his entire face was crushed into a ball.
"So that's it," An Youlang looked at the flesh and blood in his palm, "Use large and small attacks to force the opponent to give in, and at the same time consume his physical strength and will. If such attacks are formed into a continuous offensive, the opponent will Losing the initiative when tired of parrying, until there is no chance to fight back. It is difficult for ordinary people to maintain powerful and heavy moves while ensuring the speed of the shot, but those who sense Qi can take care of these two points. It is indeed a simple but effective strategy. "
"However, its problem is also obvious, that is, when facing an opponent who is not afraid of trauma, the effect will be greatly reduced." An Youlang covered his waist, and a black mist emerged from his palm, filling the into the lacerated wound. Under the binding of the black mist, the injuries on his ribs began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Tsk." Ning Wanjun gritted her teeth. Compared to her opponent's strength and speed advantage, this was what troubled her the most. No matter how many wounds the previous battles left on the An family, the effect was extremely limited. For an ordinary person, just bleeding would be fatal, but the man in front of him still maintained the same state as when he first fought.
It can be said that on the entire battlefield, she is the only one who can confront An Youlang head-on.
"Do you think you are still a human being? It's almost like an evil spirit."
"Human?" An Youlang glanced at her with interest, "Of course not. In my eyes, you and I are no longer human."
