It seems that since Xia Qiu entered Jinghua Village, the white bats have harassed the village more frequently. Although Elder Anhui continues to strengthen the barrier he has imposed around Jinghua Village, he still has many worries. Especially in the past two days, rumors have spread in the village, saying that it was precisely because of the appearance of the human girl that the originally peaceful Jinghua Village became the target of those monsters.
Soon, Xia Qiu felt the strange looks from the villagers, as well as their various discussions behind her back. When she thought that Elder Wan had asked her to stay in the village, she began to worry whether he would be embarrassed by leaving her here, so she decided to talk to Elder Wan. Xiao Mo happened to come to find her, so he went with her to the place where Elder Wan lived.
Elder Anhui was not surprised by Xia Qiu's visit. He invited her and Xiao Mo to sit down, and he slowly made a pot of hot tea and took out a few cups before sitting next to them.
Before Xia Qiu could speak, Xiao Mo complained to him angrily: "Obviously, villagers were arrested before sister Xia Qiu entered the village?! Why should we blame sister Xia Qiu for this?!"
"It seems that our Xiao Mo is more sensible than the others. They have all lived in vain for so long!" Elder Anhui smiled lovingly. He reached out and took a piece of fruit from the fruit plate on the table and handed it to Xiao Mo.
The house where Elder Wan lives is slightly larger than Xia Qiu's temporary residence. The rectangular living room is divided into two spaces by bookshelves. One side is used to receive guests, and the other side is where he reads and writes. The furnishings in the house are also very simple, and there is no way to imagine Elder Wan's noble status in the demon world.
"Elder Wan, I'm a little worried whether staying here will make you..."
Xia Qiu wanted to continue speaking, but Elder Wan raised his hand to interrupt her and said: "Don't worry, as the village elder, I was elected by the villagers. At least I still have the power to leave one person in this village. Right. Besides, I have promised Yuhe Sage to take care of you before he comes back, so you don’t have to feel embarrassed."
Hearing Yuhe Immortal's name, Xiao Mo pursed his lips and asked, "Eldest brother, there is still no news at all?"
"Yes, he was seriously injured when he came to me. I have always been worried about his condition, alas." Elder Anhui sighed after finishing speaking.
Xia Qiu cast her eyes into the tea cup in her hand, and the tea reflected her face. Even though she had been in the boundless heaven and the realm of soul separation for so long, sometimes she still felt strange. For example, everything in this world is so real. The pain when my soul is injured is just as severe as in reality, and the reflection in the water is the same.
She recalled what he told her when she saw Wei Dao in the Mirror of Kun. The purple-eyed monsters have been looking for ways to use the Kun Realm to return to the real soul world, and then let the undead army kill the monsters' souls. Death, and then replacing him, his ultimate goal is probably to use this method to control the Three Realms. Thinking of this, she felt a biting chill and couldn't help but tremble.
Elder Wan noticed that she was a little absent-minded, so he asked: "Xia Qiu, are you okay?"
"Well, it's nothing." Xia Qiu raised her head and smiled lightly.
Suddenly a villager rushed in and shouted: "Oh no, Elder Wan! The white bats... the white bats have broken into the village!"
"How is that possible?! I'll go take a look!"
Elder Wan stood up and rushed out of the room.
Xia Qiu followed closely behind. As soon as she walked out of the gate of Elder Wan's house, she found Xiao Mo following her, so she put her hand on her shoulder and ordered: "Xiao Mo, stay here, don't run out casually, wait for us to come back!" "
"Yeah!" Xiao Mo nodded sensibly and went back into the house.
Xia Qiu called out the plum blade and followed Elder Wan. Not far away, he saw two villagers surrounded by a group of white bats. They seemed to be greatly frightened, kneeling on the ground and shouting for help.
Elder Anhui suddenly rushed into the siege of white bats and rescued two villagers before the monsters could react. Bai Bat quickly discovered Xia Qiu who came with Elder Wan, so he shifted his target to her.
"Elder Wan, please see if they are injured. Leave the rest to me!" Xia Qiu said and attacked the white bat head on.
There were about a dozen white bats that sneaked into Jinghua Village this time. Xia Qiu used the clone technique to divide himself into twelve. She thought it would be easy to use twelve clones to deal with a dozen white bats, but in fact it was not the case. Somehow, the attack power of these monsters was greatly improved compared to the past. As a last resort, she had no choice but to continue to divide herself into twenty-four. This time, she had the advantage in numbers, and soon the white bats were unable to withstand them. Seeing them trying to escape, Xia Qiu decided to chase them, but Elder Wan stopped her.
"Don't go, be careful it's their trap!"
Elder Anhui felt that since these monsters had mastered the method of destroying the barrier, they could definitely attack Jinghua Village in a large scale. However, they only sent such a small number, probably because they wanted to lure Xia Qiu out of the village.
"Elder Anhui, look! This is what I knocked off the white bat just now!" Xia Qiu said as he handed a spear to Elder Anhui's hand.
Elder Wan looked back and forth carefully, and finally understood the reason why Xia Qiu asked him to observe this weapon, so he said: "The head of this spear is embedded with... green crystal! No wonder they can destroy my barrier. It seems It is precisely using the power of green crystal. It seems that the person controlling these monsters behind the scenes is quite smart. Oh no, this also means that they already know the function of green crystal. This is not easy to handle! "
"Could it be that the villagers who were kidnapped by them told them?" Xia Qiu asked after contacting the villagers of Jinghua Village who were kidnapped.
"It's very possible! But this kind of crystal stone is not common. If they want to get more crystal stones in a short period of time, there is only... something bad!" Elder Anhui shouted in panic.
"Jingshifang!" Xia Qiu suddenly thought of Elder Wan.
"It seems that those white bats just now were just a trick for them to attack the east and west, but their real target is the green crystal in the crystal shop!"
Elder Anhui and Xia Qiu flew towards the Crystal Square together. Before they reached their destination, they saw several white bats running out of the village carrying large bags filled with green crystals.
"Elder Wan, please go and see the workers in the crystal workshop. Let me chase them! I will definitely get the green crystal back!" Xia Qiu said and flew towards the white bats. .
The number of white bats sent to steal the green crystals was smaller, probably so as not to attract the attention of the villagers. Moreover, these white bats were too greedy, each carrying a bag full of green crystals, so they were stopped by Xia Qiu as soon as they flew out of the village.
They threw the bag containing the green crystal on the ground and stood facing Xia Qiu's direction calmly, neither escaping nor attacking. Xia Qiuzheng felt strange, but the distinctive shrill cries of white bats came from all directions. She turned around again and found that she was surrounded by about a hundred white bats.
She noticed that the tops of the spears of these monsters were embedded with green crystal stones, which should increase the attack power of their weapons. She made a simple calculation and found that with her current clone ability, she could form up to twenty-four clones. She had experience in using these twenty-four clones to deal with hundreds of white bats, but now she was facing weapons. It is difficult to say whether an upgraded enemy will win or lose.
After Xia Qiu went after the white bat, Elder Anhui entered the spar workshop and saw many injured workers lying around inside. They fought desperately with the white bat to protect the green spar and were all seriously injured.
"Elder... we... we failed to protect the green crystal." A worker said, covering the bleeding wound on his arm.
"Don't say that, you have already tried your best!"
Elder Anhui checked it over. Although the injuries of these workers were not serious, fortunately they were not dead, which made him relieved.
At this time, several other villagers also rushed to Jingshifang. Elder Anhui directed them to get a stretcher and send the injured to the hospital. Although he was worried about Xia Qiu's situation, many workers' injuries required immediate treatment and he was temporarily unable to go to assist her.
Xia Qiu knew that she could only rely on herself at this moment. If she couldn't get these green crystals back, then they might be used to make more weapons. In this way, it may not only be Jinghua Village that suffers. If the purple-eyed monster is behind the control of the white bats, then he is likely to bring these monsters and weapons with enhanced attack power to kill Wuliang again. skyline.
She mustered up her courage and concentrated her spiritual power to form twenty-four clones to fight the white bats. She had felt just now that the spear embedded in green crystal was different from the past when it came into contact. Now that she understood the reason, her experience became even more profound.
The air flow caused by the swing of the spear whizzed past her, and even if she was not injured, she would still feel a stinging sensation like being hit by a biting cold wind. It seems that these white bats not only have improved weapon attack power, but their attacks are also much faster than before, and they are more vicious and sinister.
One of Xia Qiu's clones was surrounded by more than a dozen white bats. They stabbed her at the same time with the spears in their hands. Although she lowered her body to avoid the attack, she was suppressed by the spears and unable to escape. Another clone was about to step forward to support, but was blocked by several white bats. Seeing herself starting to be at a disadvantage made her feel even more isolated and helpless.
A white light suddenly appeared, and for a moment, Xia Qiu thought it was Ouyang Xiaoleng who came to help her, but she soon discovered that the figure was actually the Yuhe Immortal.
The surprised expression on Yuhe Immortal's face was no less than that of Xia Qiu. How could he have thought that this human girl, whom he hadn't seen for so many days, had actually learned such a magical clone technique in the infinite heaven? Looking at the twenty-four identical girls, he was so surprised. He felt more and more that there was something incredible about this girl.
"Sorry, I am late!"
Immortal Yuhe summoned the long dagger, but she didn't know which of Xia Qiu's clones she should talk to, so she raised her voice deliberately so that her clones could hear her.
The twenty-four clones of Xia Qiu responded in unison: "It doesn't matter, it's great that you can come!"
She had just entered the realm of soul separation, and when she was caught by the white bat, it was the Yuhe Immortal who risked his life to rescue her, and escorted her to the dock where she could board the soul-saving ship. What she can't forget is the bowl of noodles that Yu Hexian Ren bought for her from Jinghua Village when she woke up in the tree house.
This time, she was surrounded by white bats, and he appeared in time to fight against the enemy side by side with her. In addition to gratitude, she felt honored in her heart. How lucky she was to have a friend like Yuhe Sennin.
