The moment it was formed, many "twigs" stretched out from the demon's cone part.
Xia Fan's pupils shrank, turned around and ran back, "Everyone, get out of here!"
The next second, these black twigs spurted out and hit the surrounding area like raindrops!
Each twig is a mass of black mist condensed into substance, and the force of impact is no less than that of artillery. The soldiers still remaining in the stockyard—whether they were the princess's subordinates or the Dongsheng people—were all within the scope of this wave of attacks.
Following a series of dull roars, a cloud of blood mist suddenly rose from the yard!
The machine beast created by Mo Yun was also hit by a cloud of black mist and turned into splinters of wood.
But this is not the most dangerous situation.
The demon's attack was clearly targeted, and most of the "twigs" it sprayed fell on the burning houses at the edge of the yard. Although the continuous bombardment failed to extinguish the fire immediately, it greatly weakened the fire light, and with the smoke and wood chips rising, the area covered by light was greatly reduced.
Oops. Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat - without the restriction of light, the charms transformed by the black mist would obviously become the formidable enemy of harvesting survivors!
Facing the evil spirits that were surrounding him from all sides, he had no choice but to take out a talisman again and cast the thunder technique on the spot.
This purple electric light instantly lit up the ground, incinerating the two evil spirits closest to him, and at the same time, it also temporarily stopped the other evil spirits that were coming towards him.
"Xia Fan, this way!"
A familiar voice sounded from his side.
Xia Fan turned around and saw a huge red fox and Shiba Inu running towards him!
It was Li He Shanhui who rushed to the yard!
He jumped up without hesitation, grabbed Li's fur and turned over, pressing it tightly against her warm back.
"Go help the princess!" Xia Fan shouted towards Shanhui, "She is not far behind!"
The latter nodded, turned around and ran towards the street.
And the demon's second round of attacks has arrived.
The focus of this black mist attack became Xia Fan.
"Hurry up!"
Li Sa spread his arms and legs, drastically changed his direction, and suddenly ran an S-shaped route in the yard. The muffled sound of the impact was almost close at hand, and the flying fine stone particles even landed on Xia Fan's head.
Relying on the flexibility and speed of the beast form, Li Shengsheng avoided all the black mist falling from the sky, and made a circle before carrying Xia Fan into the street.
This time, he didn't need to remind him. The returning soldiers set fire to several houses on the street one after another to stop Mei's hunting.
"Ouch——!"
Suddenly, Shanhui, who was lagging behind, let out a scream.
Xia Fan turned around and found that he was hit in the hind legs by a cloud of black mist and fell to the ground.
Qiuyue and Ning Wanjun he was carrying also fell down.
Apparently the maid wanted to push the princess away first when she climbed up Shanhui's back, thus delaying the Tengu's evacuation time.
Without any time to hesitate, Xia Fan immediately asked Li Zhen to go back, letting her drag away the lame Shanhui, and then went to pull back the other two.
Ning Wanjun obviously fell badly, her eyes were closed tightly and she was unconscious.
Qiuyue also seemed to be injured. She stood up and shouted, "Take the princess and leave first, leave me alone!"
Xia Fan noticed that several thin branches stretched out from underneath the demon again.
At this critical moment, another figure rushed into the yard.
"I knew you would need me!"
Xia Fan was stunned. That person was actually Fang Xiandao, and there was a little girl over one meter beside him.
"Qianzhi,!"
"Yes, Master. Freezing - Technique!"
A thick wall of ice rose from the ground, blocking the five people completely!
Four thin branches followed one after another, two of which hit the ice wall, causing huge cracks in it. But even so, the demon's attack failed to penetrate the ice wall at all.
Qianzhi walked around with short legs in front of the Xie Sui who was getting up, and smashed their "heads" to pieces with one slap.
Xia Fan was stunned by this scene.
After working together to bring the princess and Qiuyue back to a safe area, everyone finally had a chance to breathe.
The demon transformed by An Youlang began to move slowly southward, and no longer launched wave after wave of attacks as before - which meant that it needed time to replenish the black mist. The problem is that as long as the Great Wild Evil Night does not disappear, Mei, who was defeated by everyone, is likely to continue to return to the demon's body.
Fortunately, its moving speed is not very fast. Even if the whole thing is suspended in mid-air, it is probably no different from ordinary people walking.
The best decision at this time seems to be to withdraw from Beicheng District, or even temporarily evacuate Jinxia City, but without the cover of fire, even if only one charm enters the team, it can pose a considerable threat to everyone.
Not to mention the tens of thousands of people still stranded on the outskirts of Xicheng.
Even if the army could follow orders and march in an orderly and orderly manner, keeping the distance between torches, untrained civilians would never be able to do this.
As long as there is a little chaos, it will inevitably lead to an unstoppable stampede. By then, even if the enemy does not take action, Jinxia City will suffer immeasurable losses.
"Ahem -" At this moment, the princess lying in Xia Fan's arms opened her eyes. She tried to get up, but struggled several times but failed, "Ahem... where is An Youlang... ahem...?"
"It's still far away from us," Xia Fan briefly told the situation. "Just leave it alone. I will find a way to solve it next."
Ning Wanjun looked at him deeply, "Then... I'll leave it to you."
After handing the princess over to the care of his personal guards, Xia Fan looked at Fang Xiandao - the latter stood with his head slightly raised and said nothing, as if waiting for him to ask questions.
Xia Fan sighed secretly, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't I ask your demon partner to take the lead?" Fang Xiandao immediately answered, "If you choose to stay, I will do my best to find a solution to this upcoming storm. Facts have proved that, Without my help, you would not be able to escape the waves of the storm!"
"Thank you so much..." Xia Fan withdrew his gratitude halfway through. After all, according to the other party's original words, he did this not because of feelings for fellow candidates, but to break through himself. "Did you find it?"
"That's right." As if he had been waiting for him to ask this question, Fang Xiandao crossed his arms proudly, "I used up all the rare materials, set up the magic circle, and concentrated on divination all day long, and finally got a result."
"What is it?" Xia Fan's curiosity was also piqued.
"I have repeatedly confirmed that what is shown on the hexagram plate is exactly -"
"-Water!" Qianzhi raised his hands and shouted.
"Don't take my word for it at this time!" Fang Xian said urgently.
"Water?" Xia Fan was stunned, "Then what?"
"… Gone."
"Can this also be considered the answer?"
"Of course," Fang Xiandao replied without any doubt, "This is what I finally saw from the hexagram plate - laymen have no idea how difficult it is to find a trace of results in the ever-changing turbid water phenomena! "
"But how can water break the situation? We are facing a demon."
Moreover, the demon's body was still hanging in mid-air, and with the black mist's long-range attack, there was no way to deal with it using conventional shock techniques. The electromagnetic gun can reach it, but let alone the destruction of the machine beast, a fist-sized projectile alone cannot cause any fatal damage to such a huge demon.
"This..." Fang Xiandao averted his gaze, "You can't be too specific with your arithmetic, otherwise it will easily lead to misjudgment. In short, I have figured out the key to divination. Whether you can use it reasonably is your problem."
