Chapter 676: Achilles' heel
"Right!"
Tian Xian pointed to the right, took the map in his hand and walked first. All followed.
"Left!" Soon Tianxian changed direction, still moving forward without hesitation, and everyone did not speak, and continued to follow.
In this way, the direction was determined by Tian Xian, everyone had been traveling in the forest for three days, and the original plan to arrive at the elf territory in fourteen days was obviously about to come to naught, because in three days, Tian Xian only walked out of the original half-day journey, and most of the time was in the same place.
"It's the most laid-back adventure I've ever had. Hank appeared at the front of the route he had chosen and was relaxing in a hammock.
"yes, but it doesn't seem like it's easy to always go the same way. Mo Sang was lying in the hammock next to him, "I said, little ghost, you have already come here for the fourth time today, can we just lie here and watch you?"
Tian Xian looked around Hank and Mosan, and everyone in the party had already stayed here to rest, except for Luna.
"Yes, I think I'll be here two more times today. Tian Xian nodded and continued to walk forward.
"Hey...... What the hell are you doing?" After turning the corner again, Gu Li couldn't help but lean in, "Didn't you say that you already had a plan, could it be that the plan is to go around in circles? It's already the fourth day!"
Tianxian stopped and looked back at the people who were still following him, "I'm carrying out my own plan, don't you believe it?"
Everyone including Gu Li nodded.
Moreover, after Gu Li nodded, he unceremoniously grabbed Tianxian's ear and twisted it hard, "You bastard who pretends to be a ghost! Of course we believe you, but why do you take us around in circles like this, if you have a plan, let's make it clear!"
Tianxian endured the pain. said with a wry smile: "I'm really sorry to say it, but ...... I can't explain. ”
"What!?" Gu Li immediately grabbed Tianxian's other ear again, "Stinky little ghost, if you don't explain it to me, I want you to look good now." ”
"Sister...... The fourth girl walked up and gently grabbed Gu Li, "Brother Tian...... Maybe it's a bitter one. ”
"If you have a hard time, tell me about it!"
Tianxian looked at Xue for help, but found that Xue quickly glanced at Gu Li. Then I turned my attention to the "beauty" of the forest.
At this time, Tianxian finally found out that at present, no one is Gu Li's opponent in the "physical confrontation", especially when Gu Li has found that Xue and the four girls are afraid of itching.
"Okay, okay! I said, I said!" Tian Xian still chose to hurry up and save his ears.
Gu Li smiled with satisfaction, "It's pretty much the same!"
Rubbing his ears, Tianxian's eyes wandered in the forest, "But I can't go into too much detail, because as long as we are in the Eastern Kingdom, all our movements will be controlled by the other party." ”
"What's going on?" said Guli, scanning the forest alertly. "Then you can always say it in the Hangu Tower, right?"
Tianxian shook his head, "No." ”
"Why, the Cold Ancient Tower, which is fully deployed, is safe, that's a fact!"
Tian Xian looked at Gu Li with a serious gaze, "No, the Hangu Tower that is completely defended is not absolutely safe, this is the truth, when Babarot first appeared, he broke through several layers of the Hangu Tower's defense formation with one sword, and almost broke the window of the Hangu Tower directly. And that's just the first blow!"
Gu Li was stunned for a while, and then her face couldn't help but change. "You mean...... He can break through the Hanguta in a fully defensible state?"
"Yes, I think he has the ability, no...... That's why I have to keep the Hangu Tower, as long as she has flexible scheduling, the Hangu Tower will not be lost, and the worst-case scenario can hold out until we come back to help. So Hanguta is safe now. ”
"And now we already know that Barbarot can affect the forests of the Eastern Kingdoms, and even launch a small Kuroshio, but this threat has been greatly reduced under the premise that we already know his ability, so now he does not dare to act rashly, there are many of us. There are many possibilities, and he is now alone, exposing his hole cards every time he strikes, he has already failed twice, and if he fails again, it will be a huge blow. ”
"But......" Tian Xian's expression was solemn, "every attack he attacks in the next place will be like thunder, and we can only be extremely careful, which is why I have been going around in circles here these days." ”
Gu Li was a little stunned, "What is the reason?"
"I can't say. ”
Gu Li was suddenly angry.
The fourth girl really couldn't stand it, so she came up first and gently grabbed Gu Li, and said softly: "Sister, Brother Tian didn't mean not to say it, but now I can't say it." ”
When the fourth girl said this, Gu Li was a little puzzled, "Could that Barbarot really hear it?"
"The concubine doesn't know much about formations, but since Brother Tian said so, he shouldn't be wrong. ”
Gu Li glared at the fourth girl: "You are obviously dead set on him, and you listen to him for everything." ”
The fourth girl couldn't help but smile, "Sister is not the same." ”
Guli: "............"
Looking at the forest, the four girls' eyes were full of thoughts, " Sister don't be upset, no one knows what means that Barbarot has mastered, but it is a fact that he can drive the forests of the Eastern Kingdom, which means that we may all be enemies around us, and our words and deeds are likely to be under surveillance, and Hanguta seems to be safe now, but he has already shown the strength to break through Hanguta before, and now he obviously does not dare to act rashly, we can't guarantee that the words in Hanguta will not be eavesdropped, and now Tianxiao Brother is the safest and most correct choice to make decisions alone. ”
"But......" Gu Li found that the fourth girl couldn't find a reason to object with a few words.
"Sister don't worry, if my sister feels lonely, just talk to my sister, there are many things about the little brother, my sister doesn't know. ”
"I ...... I didn't ask him to speak because he was bored, I was ...... I'm here for everyone!" Guli's voice rose up.
The fourth girl smiled and nodded, "So my sister has always been a role model for my sister, but my sister is weak and not as powerful as this sister, if I have time." Can my sister teach my sister basic swordsmanship, my sister has also studied for a while. ”
watched the conversation between the two on the sidelines, and now it is basically determined that Gu Li has been said by the four girls......
"Swordsmanship...... No problem!" Gu Li really assured with confidence!
"Keep walking!" Tian Xian continued to walk forward.
Now, the sky is like walking on thin ice, and the territory of the elves is still far away. And there is a demon peeping in the dangerous forest, which has to make Tianxian extremely cautious.
Barbarot can drive the forests of the Eastern Kingdom, which is one of the worst news, but using the time of the past few days, Tian Xian has also determined one thing: he can't do it indefinitely, obviously driving the Kuroshio is very difficult, and even has a price, otherwise such a near-invincible offensive will definitely crush all the enemies of the Eastern Kingdom, but except for that attack on Hanguta. Barbarot no longer drove the Kuroshio, but disappeared.
But although his people were gone, the abnormal reaction of the forest was always telling everyone that he was by everyone's side, listening to everyone's every word and watching everyone's every movement.
But now Tianxian can't find the location of Babarot, and he can't even find the general direction, and Tianxian has been drawing circles in place during this time, in fact, he is building a large formation with footprints. And be familiar with the changes in the nearby forest, and recognize the energy fluctuations of the forest again and again. Hopefully, we can find out some useful information from Barbalot's formation to drive the forest.
But the information that Tian Xian got was almost zero.
The abnormal movement of the forest is indeed affected by a certain formation, but the area that Tianxian passes through is only a corner of this formation, and Tianxian can't peek at the whole picture of the formation, and this corner also makes Tianxian in the clouds, and he can't help what this formation is.
At the same time, the energy induction array established by Tian Xian was also unable to capture any valuable energy fluctuations.
This made Tian Xian realize a very bad situation: Barbarot could build a super-large formation to control the movement of the forest, and at the same time, he could cleanly erase the traces of energy from his movements. His location is not revealed.
That is to say, the current Eastern Kingdom is almost Barbarote's backyard.
Elven Territory...... It's so far away! Tian Xian looked at the place marked on the map with the territory of the elves, and his heart was not without melancholy.
On the fifth day, Tian Xian had to move forward.
Half of the lions stayed behind in Hanguta. The other half served as a reconnaissance scout in the front, carefully advancing forward, and Tian Xian and others acted in the center as the core of the team.
As for the route forward, Tian Xian chose a straight line.
"At the moment, there is no special movement of Babarot, so any movement is superfluous, so ...... Let's go straight. ”
Tian Xian's almost no strategy was supported by everyone, and the whole team began to advance towards the elven territory in the shortest distance.
For three whole days, everything was calm.
Although the lions are not a powerful race in the Eastern Kingdoms, few creatures dare to provoke them when they act collectively, especially when they find a leader like Tu Ge, who is obviously not easy to mess with.
At dusk, while the sunlight had not completely disappeared, the lions who stayed behind protected the fully defended Hanguta to keep up with the large army and landed on a flat ground.
"Ahead, it's the territory of the cavemen. ”
In the defensive circle of the Hangu Tower, everyone sat down around the fire, Tu Ge briefly repeated the situation of the forest today, and then pointed to a place on the map, "The cavemen are a troublesome race, and they may not let us pass easily." ”
"Caveman?" Tian Xian looked at Tu Ge, looking confused.
"It's a race that lives in the crypt. ”
Tian Xian still turned his attention to Luna, in fact, it was obviously a mistake to rely on Tu Ge for a detailed description of racial characteristics.
Luna frowned, "Cavemen are indeed very troublesome, they are a special race in the Eastern Kingdom, all the large groups of races in the Eastern Kingdom live on the ground, only they dig the crypt and live underground. ”
"Living underground...... Is it deep underground, can you avoid the Kuroshio?"
"No, the land of the Eastern Kingdom was seriously affected during the Great War of the Gods, and the reason why the forest is so twisted is because there are too many twisted forces left over from that time in the earth, it is said that there is a terrible curse precipitated in the depths of the earth, and the cavemen will inexplicably go crazy and even die if they dig too deep in the crypt, their crypt is not deep, so when the Kuroshio Tide comes, it ......"
Tian Xian was surprised: "Wouldn't it be wiped out without warning!"
"Indeed!" Luna sighed helplessly, "The roots of the Kuroshio Tide will pierce the earth, and they will be torn apart along with the crypt, so the population of the cavemen has been decreasing for thousands of years, and now it seems that there are only 10,000 people, but they still choose to live in the crypt." ”
This is a race of death, an idea popped up in Tianxian's heart.
Luna continued, "They are said to be very stubborn because they are close relatives of the Dwarves, but at the same time they are also very cunning and ...... Some make other races uncomfortable. ”
"Uncomfortable?"
"They don't like other people entering their territory, and if there is a fight, they will drag the defeated enemy directly back to the crypt, and the corpses will not be spared, and no one knows what happened afterwards. ”
When I heard this, I felt really uncomfortable......
"These guys are small, but they're very strong and their skin is so hard that they can't hurt them with a normal punch or kick, but if they hurt, they'll run away as fast as they can, and if you can catch them before they get back into the crypt, they'll definitely get down on their knees and beg for mercy. ”
Tu Ge suddenly interjected: "To put it simply, if you hurt them, we will be able to pass through their territory." ”
Luna nodded, "Lionhead is right this time. ”
It's really a barbaric place, can't you just sit down and talk? I thought helplessly......
Just as he was about to make a statement, his body suddenly froze.
Holding down the Great Sword of the Wasteland, Tian Xian slowly got up, and his eyes locked on a certain location in the dark forest.
"It feels so sharp, how can I find a chance to win this game?" a soft, pleasant voice came from the darkness of the forest.
Everyone immediately got up, scattered into battle formations and stood up, their nerves tense instantly.
"What are you doing here? Is it because you're too lonely by yourself?" said Tian Xian coldly in that direction.
Barbarot slowly walked out of the forest as if he had seeped out of the darkness, still with his strange hand, and his fair face was full of smiles.
"I don't have that much to spare, there are so many things to do in this forest, I'm just going to say it today, I'm ...... Find your weakness!" (To be continued.) )
