"Have you ever tried approaching the temple directly from the air?" Ouyang Hongye thought for a moment and asked Qian Qi and the others next to him.
"In the air?! Then we have really become a living target for those tree people! At least there are other trees as cover on the ground, but it is completely different in the air. In addition, the vampire bats in this deep forest There are a lot of them, and if they interfere with flying, it will be easier to be hit by the explosive fruit!" Orion leader Lao Yi shook his head helplessly in response to him.
"Also, although the Orions are great archers, they are not good at flying." Ling Yu added at the side.
Before he finished speaking, Lao Yi lowered his head and stopped talking.
Ling Yu continued to add: "But... if you want to get close to the Earth Temple, you have to rely on their power!"
"You have tried so many times. Do you have any specific experience or strategies?" Ouyang Hongye was still immersed in his own thoughts and continued to ask, ignoring what they just said.
"Taking the cat jackals alone, their main advantage is their numbers. If they wait for Wangcheng or Dongyao to send troops, they will definitely be able to break through their defenses, but now..."
Ouyang Xiaoleng then said Qianqi: "But now we have no time!"
"Yes!" Qian Qi nodded in agreement with his words.
"Then don't hesitate anymore. How will you know how capable they are if you don't give them a try?!" Ouyang Hongye suddenly interrupted them who were still distressed.
The three teenagers looked at him almost at the same time. He was really out of character today. As usual, he always tried to be safe, and it was Ouyang Hongye who advised them not to be impulsive every time. In fact, they don't know that Ouyang Hongye's desire to solve Xia Qiu as soon as possible is definitely as strong as theirs. This can be said to be the best opportunity he can seize now to make up for his previous mistakes in Chi Le Palace.
"We will succeed no matter what!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said firmly.
When they stepped into the primeval forest, they felt an extraordinary sense of oppression. The atmosphere in the forest was like two worlds outside. Every tree seemed to be alive, whispering in the air with the sound of wind. Their conversation was especially clear to Ouyang Xiaoleng.
"There is an intruder..."
"Inform the Lord of God quickly!"
"This intruder is unusual!"
"Hurry up and tell the Lord the Demon King Fox is here, as well as the red-haired Demon Fox Lord!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng had encountered this situation before, not long after entering Yongchuan High School, when young people controlled by Rakshasa Mother once again attempted to attack Xia Qiu. Xia Qiu could hear those young people using similar methods to communicate, and the forest seemed to have become a whole at this moment. This was why it was difficult for Qianqi and Lingyu to approach the Earth Temple before. The role of the God Lord is the same as that of the Rakshasa Mother, similar to the brain of the forest, and every plant and tree is his eyes and ears, and the birds and beasts and even the tree people are his weapons.
"Have you heard any strange sounds?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked the people around him.
"You mean the sound is similar to the conversation among the trees? Although there is a vague feeling, I can't hear what they are talking about clearly." Ling Yu asked him back.
"Yes, I just feel that they are communicating with each other." Ouyang Hongye also heard the whispers of the surrounding trees, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. The Lord of the Earth Temple might have been controlled by Qingyun.
"The God Lord must have taken refuge in that Qingyun you just mentioned!" Lao Yi, the leader of the Orion hunters, said angrily.
"What method is this Qingyun going to use again?!" Qianqi was already a little agitated. He pulled off his cloak and summoned the Shenlong Fire Bow.
The deeper he walked, the stronger the pressure around him became, and the sounds of conversations among the trees in his ears became noisier to Ouyang Xiaoleng. He suspected that it was because after the demon blood awakened in his body, his perception became more sensitive than before, and the various signals he received were stronger than before. At this moment, he only felt the pain and numbness in his brain that were like electric shocks from the signals he received from the trees to the God Lord.
The trees began to say again:
"The intruders are still approaching the Earth Temple!"
"The Lord God ordered the cat jackal to prepare for the first round of interception."
"Let them come as they please! We can also take a look at the new weapons given to you by the Lord God!"
"The soul-changing technique has reached its final moment, we must intercept them!"
Ouyang Xiaoleng suddenly stopped, called out Shenbing and gestured to everyone: "I heard them saying that the cat jackal will intercept us soon, everyone, be careful!"
"So fast?! In the past, at least we could walk further into the dense forest!" Lao Yi also took off the bow from his shoulder, took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, pulled it on the bow and set it up. His hands were covered with calluses, and there was a ring on his thumb. His eyes were scanning the front intently, waiting for the enemy's sudden attack.
The Orions are taller in stature, have extremely long arms, and have faces similar to those of the Demons. Some say they are the offspring of giants and Demons. Bows and arrows are their most commonly used weapons. In Lao Yi's team, every hunter can be said to be a sharp archer. For them, hitting the target with perfect accuracy is the most basic skill. In the dense forest full of all kinds of beasts, one shot at a time If you miss it, your life may be in danger.
The light in the dense forest is dim, and the pair of green eyes of the cat jackal can be easily spotted even from a distance. Sure enough, as Lao Yi and the others said, the number of cat jackals here is much greater than that in the Golden Fireflies Maple Forest. many. And just when a few of them leaned out from the bushes, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye saw that they were much larger than ordinary cat jackals.
The cat jackal they were surrounded by was very special. The rest of the cat jackals were all tawny, except for its dark and shiny body, and its eyes were not green, but bright red. But in comparison, its size But it is closer to an ordinary cat jackal, even thinner.
"Is that really their leader? So skinny?! We never saw it the first two times we entered the forest!" Qianqi asked doubtfully as he prepared for battle.
"You have to fight it to find out what abilities it has!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said and ran out directly. He just heard the conversation among the trees. Xia Qiu's soul-changing technique at the Earth Temple stage was almost complete, which meant that the time left for them was quite limited, and he didn't want to waste any more time in the same place.
This was the first time Ouyang Hongye and the others had seen such an impulsive Ouyang Xiaoleng. His figure dodged left and right in a curve and attacked the black cat jackal who seemed to be the leader. Then everyone understood why this cat jackal was the boss among them, and it actually started commanding the other cat jackals.
"The one on the left is closer to me, the one on the right is forward, and the one on the back is close to me."
"This guy can talk, and he's quite smart!" Qianqi sighed.
"Damn it!" Ouyang Xiaoleng's attack just launched was defused by the changes in the cat jackal array, and he had to retreat temporarily.
"It's up to me!" Qian Qi jumped up, jumped into the air, stepped a few steps in the air, and aimed an arrow at the black cat jackal's head with the dragon's fire bow.
It stared fiercely at Qian Qi with a pair of bloody eyes, but its body did not move but stayed in place. When the arrow arrived in front of it, it turned its head slightly and grabbed it with its sharp teeth, holding it tightly. Then there was just a "click" sound, and the arrow was bitten into two pieces.
"Tch, this is actually the first time we have seen the leader of this group of cat jackals! Didn't you expect that he still has a chance?" Qianqi said unconvinced as he fired several arrows at him, but he dodged them all. Or bitten.
"It seems that they are serious this time! Don't panic, let me think of countermeasures!" Ouyang Hongye said.
"There is no time to think so much anymore, they have decided to counterattack!" Ouyang Xiaoleng had already heard the leader of the cat jackals giving an order to attack to his subordinates.
The cat jackals hunched their backs and surrounded them, with countless green eyes overlapping each other densely. Gradually, the cat jackals hidden in the bushes also leaned out. At a glance, the number of cat jackals here was probably more than Thousands.
"Now I know why you and Lingyu can't attack!" Ouyang Xiaoleng came to Qianqi after he landed and said.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Qianqi looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng trustingly and asked.
"All we have to do is charge forward. You and Lao Yi are responsible for the cat jackals in the distance, and I, Hongye and Lingyu are responsible for attacking the ones in front of us!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said without hesitation.
"Lingyu, the attack range of your Jade Brocade is larger than that of Xiao Leng and I, and it can also attack in both directions. I leave the cats and jackals on both sides to you. Xiao Leng and I are responsible for the front. Listen to my command and master it. It's a good time to fire the arrow, don't hurt your companions!" Ouyang Hongye added.
"Okay!" Lingyu nodded and called out his jade brocade.
At this time, the leader of the cat jackals spoke again. He said to the other cat jackals: "Don't be afraid of them, charge forward!"
The other cat jackals heard the sound and started to attack Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ouyang Hongye gave an order, and Qianqi and Lao Yi fired thousands of arrows to kill the rows of cat jackals at the front, but those who got close to the back followed them one after another.
"Charge!" Ouyang Hongye yelled, rushing to the front of the team almost at the same time as Ouyang Xiaoleng.
Ling Yu was slightly behind them. He flew into the air, controlled his jade brocade to be entangled by several cats and jackals attacking from both sides, and then slammed them to the ground. Then they quickly retracted the jade brocade and released it again. Their front ends instantly turned into countless awls, piercing through the other cat jackals who wanted to surround them from both sides.
"It seems they are just bigger, not as powerful as imagined!" Ouyang Hongye swung his sword and killed two or three cat jackals.
"Yeah!" Ouyang Xiaoleng deliberately led a few cat jackals to surround him, and then killed them all with a roundhouse slash.
"Fire the arrow!"
Ouyang Hongye ordered Qian Qi and Lao Yi again, and then lowered his body while using his hands to lower Ouyang Xiaoleng's body at the same time.
"Whoosh whoosh" was followed by the sound of arrows streaking through the air, followed by the shrill screams from the cat jackals, and then many cat jackals with arrows in their bodies fell heavily to the ground.
Just when Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others felt that they had gained the upper hand, the leader of the cat jackal who was being protected by his companions said: "You think you can get through our situation so easily? Then you are totally wrong. It’s time! It’s time for you to see the secret weapon God has given us!”
As soon as it finished speaking, the cats and jackals that had fallen to the ground got up again like zombies, but their eyes had become hollow and the movements of their bodies had become uncoordinated.
"How could this happen?!" Qian Qi stood there and sighed, unable to help being shocked by what happened in front of him.
