Chapter Thirty-Four: Disobedience and Self-Righteousness
As soon as Lan Qian came out of the woods to the foot of the mountain, he heard the faint sound of fighting behind him. Unlike other living beings, the voice of the Essence of Wood is extremely penetrating and can be transmitted to great distances. If you are in the Jianmu Forest, if you are an elder of the Jianmu Essence clan, you can also communicate with each other through GuòJianmu, even if you are at the two ends of the farthest Jianmu Forest, you can talk as if you are facing each other.
Lan Qian heard the cry with fear, his heart trembled, and a trace of regret slipped in his heart, at the critical juncture of this big battle, he really shouldn't have run out as the captain of the guard, but Lan Yao was clearly in danger on this mountain, and he couldn't help but come. However, there are so many Jianmu spirits in the Jianmu Forest, and it is not the first time that the attack on the mountain rat is not the first time, although without his command, there should not be too much of a problem. At present, the only way to do this is to hurry up the mountain to see the situation clearly, and bring Lan Yao and another Jianmu essence who came to investigate back as much as possible. Thinking of this, Lan Qian quickly touched the mountain.
But Lan Qian didn't know at this time that this time the attack of the mountain rat was very different from every previous one. To the surprise of all the spirit of the building wood, thousands of mountain rats were divided into left, middle and right three ways, digging holes in the ground until they were hundreds of feet away from the building woods, and then emerging from the ground, each of which had at least tens of thousands of mountain rats, making a squeaky sound, which was extremely uncomfortable to listen to. If it weren't for the fact that this piece of Jianmu Forest itself had formed a kind of magic circle, which could form a natural barrier of hundreds of zhang underground, otherwise those mountain rats would have directly burrowed into the Jianmu Forest.
All the essence of Jianmu shoots arrows together in the first time, which is basically a beaded archery. While the hands are spinning, the arrows shoot out like meteors, falling like rain in the mountain rat swarm, and each batch of arrow rain can harvest the lives of hundreds of mountain rats. The movements of those Jianmu Spirits were skillful and fast, so fast that it was almost impossible to see the movements, and only the dense sound of countless bowstrings could be heard, and one after another Jianmu arrows had been shot.
Because it had already been sensed that these mountain rats were attacking in three directions, all the Elements of Jianmu gradually gathered together, and with the random reinforcements of the Essence of Jianmu, there were more than a thousand Essence of Jianmu in about every place to shoot arrows towards the surging tide of rats. Listen only to the sound of swishing and the screams of the mountain rats when they are shot to death. One after another. And so on. If someone were looking down from the top of the forest at this time, they would see as if there were three black rivers spreading out of the forest, but they stopped abruptly at a distance of ten feet, as if they were being resisted by something. The black river is blocked. Spills to both sides. It accumulates like a lake. It was all the mountain rats that had been shot to death and had piled up on the hill, and then they were squeezed to both sides by the mountain rats that had sprung up from behind, and they had slid down.
Even though it's just a humble and weak mountain mouse. But the fact that so many creatures were dying in the screams at the same time was a huge shock to the heart. Especially those Jianmu Spirits who sent arrows, after the high tension and hatred of friend and foe at the beginning, in the face of the mountain rat corpses that kept accumulating in front of them, their arrow-firing hands unconsciously became softer and slower! The scene in front of them was no less than a strong divine sense attack, sweeping through the hearts of all Jianmu Spirits.
These mountain rats have almost no ability to resist, but they keep going forward and die one after another. Lan Cang no longer knew how many arrows he had fired, nor how many mountain rats he had shot, his hand followed the mountain rats that appeared in his field of vision, and instinctively sent arrows to shoot the outcropping mountain rats to death, and then continued to the next one. The scene in front of him made him feel more and more of an unbelievable hallucination, the doubts in his heart became heavier and heavier, and the surrounding sounds seemed to be evacuated at this moment, leaving only the sound of his own heavy breathing, and then he found himself constantly shouting to the other Jianmu spirits: "Kill, kill!" The excited tone and his hideous expression made him feel so strange!
No! All the doubts in Lan Cang's heart suddenly found a breakthrough, and a light brightened up. He suddenly realized, why are there only these ordinary mountain rats, shouldn't there have been mountain rat demons to block most of the arrows in the past? Why can't even a mountain rat demon be seen at this time, no wonder it feels that something is wrong. It was too easy to shoot these mountain rats today, and it was easy to keep the three mountain rat tides out of the Jianmu forest.
Where did those mountain rat demons go, how could they let these mountain rats die here in vain? When he realized this, Lan Cang chuckled in his heart, today's situation is really too weird, none of those mountain rat demons have appeared, you must know that according to the previous loneliness, they have almost three hundred mountain rat demons?
Lan Cang's heart became more and more frightened, but no matter what, he couldn't figure out the possible conspiracy of those mountain rat demons. You must know that this building wood forest has a natural enchantment of hundreds of zhang underground, and there is also a condensed aura around the forest to resist foreign objects, not all kinds of monsters can enter casually, otherwise they would have been sensed by them as the spirit of building trees. Where have all those mountain rat demons gone, and what is the conspiracy?
Just when Lan Cang was worried, but he could only stick to the Jianmu tree and couldn't get out, Lan Qian had already reached the top of the mountain, he did not show up immediately, but quietly hid behind a tree, concentrating on the situation on the top of the mountain, he didn't dare to release his divine sense, he could only sense Lan Yao's location with his mental intuition. He has been following Lan Yao all the year round, and naturally has a special feeling, but at this moment, for some reason, he clearly feels that Lan Yao does not seem to be on the top of the mountain.
What is going on? Should I choose to go back now or continue to search at the top of the mountain? Should I trust my feelings, or should I do a good search? Lan Qian hesitated for a moment, and quickly ran around from behind the tree, looking for Lan Yao's figure, and just as he showed his figure, he suddenly felt an awe-inspiring killing intent lock on him in his heart, and he instinctively shrank his neck.
With a 'whoosh', an arrow flew swiftly past his ear, bringing up a string of blood. Lan Qian rolled on the spot and quickly pounced behind a big tree. A few slight sounds sounded, and Lan Qian counted them very clearly, knowing that there were six arrows shot at the big tree where he was hiding.
Hearing the sound of the arrow hitting the tree, Lan Qian held eight arrows in his hand while his heart was cold. The sound of the arrow hitting the tree was all too familiar to him, only the arrow made of Jianmu hitting the trunk was such a slight sound, but although the sound was light, the arrow had a strong penetrating power. Although the arrow was on the other side of the trunk of the big tree where he was hiding, Lan Qianxin, these six arrows must have penetrated most of the trunk, only exposing the tail of the arrow outside, if it wasn't for the fact that this big tree was thick enough, he was afraid that a few more inches would be able to shoot through the trunk and pierce his body.
Only the Jianmu clan used Jianmu arrows, and it was a Jianmu spirit who sent arrows to themselves, Lan Qian said loudly: "I am Lan Qian!"
A voice responded in a deep voice: "I know you are Lan Qian, come out!"
"Lan Ji, it's you! Why did you shoot arrows at me, didn't you come out with Lan Yao to find out the movements of the mountain rats?" Lan Qian could discern from this voice that the other party was a Jianmu spirit named Lan Ji in his escort team, but he did not rashly obey and turned around from behind the tree, the other party spoke like this, obviously intending to kill himself, although Lan Qian was extremely surprised, a little confused, and was also very worried about Lan Yao's safety, but he did not lose his cool, and wanted to open his mouth to confirm some things.
Lan Ji was standing only a dozen zhang away from Lan Qian at this time, he was hiding behind a tree, leaning out his upper body, with a bow in his hand, and six wooden arrows on the bow, aiming at the tree where Lan Qian was hiding.
"Don't be verbose, I'll call you out! Why, Lan Qian, who is usually so majestic, has become a coward at this time, you are afraid of me Lanji, right?" Rangi yelled.
Lan Qian frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Lan Ji, where is Lan Yao?" He didn't know why Lan Ji suddenly attacked him, but at this time he was more concerned about Lan Yao's safety.
Rangie suddenly laughed strangely, and said, "Why, are you worried about her? Haven't you been following her all day? Why don't you know where she is, but you want to ask me?" Hahaha. ”
Lan Qian sensed a hint of Ranji's madness, so he had to ask directly: "Ranji, I know why you did this, you also like Lan Yao, don't you?" But now is not the time, didn't you hear the sound of fighting? The mountain rats have already begun to attack, I don't know why they didn't pass in front of us, we should go back to fight immediately, do you understand?"
Rangie continued to laugh and said, "Lan Qian, aren't you very smart, then why don't you know how the mountain rat got to the Jianmu Forest from under your nose." You don't know, hehe, I know, if you beg me, I'll sue you, how about it?"
Lan Ji said and laughed again, at this moment, suddenly Lan Qian's figure behind the big tree flashed, it seemed that Lan Qian wanted to snatch it out and launch a sneak attack, but unexpectedly, Lan Ji seemed to have already penetrated his mind, and six arrows were fired in succession, quickly shooting out from the side of the big tree, forcing Lan Qian back. And at the same time as the six arrows flew out, Rang Ji had already quickly mounted the bow and quickly aimed at the big tree where Lan Qian was, and all the movements were without gaps.
"You want to sneak up and kill me? Is it that easy? Don't think I don't know your methods. Rangie's voice was filled with anger and pride, and he suddenly raised his voice and said, "I know you best, I know everything about you, your tricks, your meanness, are in my eyes." You follow Lan Yao all day long, haven't you ever noticed me in the corner, watching your every move?
Oh oh oh, I was wrong, of course you won't notice me, your eyes will only look at Lan Yao, your eyes will only keep looking at her back, where will you notice anything else!But I'm different, every time I look at my Lan Yao first, and then at you, you! Lan Qian, you damn it, make me gnash my teeth. When I looked at Lan Yao, I was so happy, but you made me so miserable, because of you, I could only secretly look at Lan Yao in the corner......"
The more Rangi spoke, the more excited he became, already hysterical. Lan Qian interrupted: "Is it because of this that you betrayed the Jianmu clan and took refuge in the mountain rats?" His voice was extremely low, but with a terrifying chill, the deepest murderous intent was raised. (To be continued......)
