to blame

The phantom of the long whip is like a wall, but it is not a wall after all.

Qingtan exerted strength instantly, and ran wildly along the direction of the long whip.At the moment when the energy wave of the long whip hit, it flew downwards, its four hooves almost stepped on the ground, and after a whirl, it rose rapidly.Ming Xia was startled by his sudden movement, the violent weightlessness almost stopped his heart.

He avoided the whip so dangerously, but was still injured by the energy wave brought by the long whip.Qingtan was better, Ming Xia's energy membrane covering her body was completely smashed, the demon core was hit, and her internal organs were all churning.

Ming Xia's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but he suppressed himself and didn't make a sound.Taking advantage of Zhu Huai's movement of raising his hand to retract his whip, he shot two more arrows in succession, aiming at Zhu Huai's arm.

The long arrow pierced through the dark night soundlessly, like a flash of lightning in the night sky.

Zhu Huai's reaction was also quick, as soon as he sensed something was wrong, he immediately dodged aside.This action allowed him to avoid the first arrow, but the second arrow still hit Zhu Huai's wrist.

Zhu Huai put the long whip into his left hand, and raised his hand for another whip

This time his movements were too fast, Qingtan carried Ming Xia on his back and was trying to get higher, the height of the whip was almost at the same level as them.Qing Tan was unable to dodge the whip at all, and only managed to draw out his demon power to protect him and Ming Xia behind him, and the blatant energy wave wrapped in the long whip had already hit his chest.

Qingtan was thrown out, and even Ming Xia fell from mid-air, and rolled into the bushes next to the gazebo with a chattering sound.I don't know what kind of strange plants are planted here. They are covered with sharp thorns, and half of his face is hurt and itchy.

Ming Xia didn't care about whether he would lose his appearance, so he got up and hurried to find Qingtan first.

Qingtan was thrown not far in front of him, luckier than Ming Xia was because he had always maintained the appearance of a fox, with rough skin and thick flesh, the sharp thorns in the bushes did not affect him much.Qingtan was mainly stimulated, he got up from the ground in a rage, and counterattacked at Zhu Huai.

Ming Xia, "..."

Day yo.

Partnering with such an inexperienced opponent is to take such a risk. He doesn't know when he will forget about his partner.

Ming Xia had a black line on his forehead, so he could only carry his weapon and sprint towards the place where the trees were denser.He had to make sure that before Qingtan remembered him, he would not be whipped to death by Zhu Huai.

The trees in the desert grow strangely. Some plants grow as low as possible to ensure their own water needs, while others grow straight upwards to gain more light.

The forest in front of Ming Xia is the former.

It was a tree he didn't know. Its trunk was as thick as an adult's waist, and its height was similar to that of an adult. According to the visual inspection, there was no tree in this forest that exceeded two meters.The canopy is not big, the leaves are small and dense, and it glows a cool blue-gray under the moonlight.

The trees grow sparsely, which is actually not conducive to Ming Xia's hiding.But no matter how unfavorable the environment is, it is better than him being directly exposed to Zhu Huai's sight.

Ming Xia checked his energy core, and found that after a whole day of fighting, his physical strength was at the end of his strength, barely supporting him.The energy core was also almost evacuated.

Ming Xia mobilized the energy membrane to barely cover his body.Using the cover of the trees, he quickly released an arrow, and then quickly shifted his position.

Dragon Tongue Arrow could sense his position, but Zhu Huai didn't have such a sensitive perception, especially when someone kept harassing him, he couldn't spare much energy to sense Suzaku's descendants for a while.But he still saw where Ming Xia fell, so he began to consciously move towards the bushes.

Zhu Huai's movements were not large, and the two sides in the battle were already dodging non-stop, so neither Qing Tan, Feng Ming, nor Ming Xia himself noticed that there was anything wrong with his actions.The only trouble is that this man is worthy of being a descendant of Suzaku, his arrow skills are elusive, and Zhu Huai is in a hurry to avoid his back arrows.

Zhu Huai carefully maintained the distance between himself and Qing Tan and Feng Ming with a long whip. These two possessed the ability to control the fire element, and it was not easy to dodge if they were close, which was extremely unfavorable to him.

With a whip from Zhu Huai, Feng Ming, who was diving in mid-air, flew away, turned around and grabbed an arrow that was shot at his back.The moment he held the arrow shaft with his hand, he suddenly sensed a very subtle energy wave.This feeling... is not like holding an arrow, but more like holding a little monster.

Arrows are alive.

This discovery made Zhu Huai terrified, but the advantage it brought was that Zhu Huai easily captured Ming Xia's position through the induction of the Dragon Tongue Arrow.The more he held on to the arrow and refused to let go, the stronger his feelings towards Ming Xia became.

Zhu Huai himself was quite surprised that the weapon had such a function.

With such a moment of stupefaction, Qingtan flew past him again, opening his mouth to spew out balls of fire.

Zhu Huai shook the long whip in his hand, the long whip vibrated slightly, and doubled in length in the blink of an eye.He pulled the fireball away with a whip, and took advantage of the time when the fireball hit Fengming, he whipped at Qingtan again.

Qingtan hadn't been so breathless for a long time.

He is best at close combat.He has great strength and powerful fists and feet. As the strongest member of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, his best weapon is double swords.Unfortunately, this time the two swords met the long whip.This made him even have no chance to sacrifice his weapon.

Qingtan avoided the long whip again unwillingly, he was looking for an opportunity to get close to Zhu Huai.

The long whip swept again.

Qingtan suddenly noticed that Zhu Huai was already very close to the lake.Something seemed to flash through his mind for a moment, but before he could catch it, he jumped up and rushed straight towards the lake.He was still holding the long whip tightly in his hand, and a person was wrapped around the whip.

Qingtan's heart missed a beat.

That's Ming Xia!

He knew when Ming Xia fell from behind him, but after weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Qing Tan felt that it was more beneficial for the two of them to separate.He can chase Zhu Huai more flexibly, and Ming Xia can also hide aside and take the opportunity to shoot arrows.As long as he always catches Zhu Huai's attention, Ming Xia is safe.

Qingtan's heart beat violently, he wondered if he saw something wrong.But before he rushed over to take a closer look, the long whip in Zhu Huai's hand pulled and tugged, and the person who was slightly caught by the whip was already brought into the lake.

Two adults fell into the water, and the water splashed Lao Gao.Qingtan only had time to clearly see a curved black shadow behind the person on the whip.That was the shape of a dragon tongue bow.

The person Zhu Huai took away was indeed Ming Xia.

Qingtan loses composure and jumps into the water together with them.

At night in the desert, the temperature is nearly [-] degrees lower than during the day, but the temperature of the day still remains in the lake, which is neither hot nor cold, comfortable and pleasant.

Qingtan remembered that the place where they fell into the water was not far in front of him, but he had been swimming for a long time without seeing anyone in the water.

Not only were there no people, there was no sign of even living things.No fish or shrimp swam past him, and he used his demonic power to detect, but he didn't receive the slight fluctuations caused by living creatures in the water.

He seemed to have fallen into a pool of stagnant water.

Qing Tan came out of the water, seeing Feng Ming carrying Li Youran on the lake, he also seemed a little confused.It wasn't until seeing Qingtan appear that Fengming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Qing, there is nothing in the water." Feng Ming stopped above him, flapping his wings anxiously, "In the whole lake, there seems to be no such small things as snails."

Qingtan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go down and take a look. Pay attention to the movements around you."

After speaking, he plunged back.The demon power was fully activated, and began to search the waters inch by inch.

As Feng Ming said, the lake is abnormally clean, there are no fish, shrimp, or small things like snail shells.There are even few aquatic plants.

Qingtan feels that this place is not like a lake, but more like a pool dug by hand.

Zhu Huai and Ming Xia seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Qingtan searched again from the beginning without giving up, this time, he searched extremely meticulously, and even used his hands to carefully stir up the sediment at the bottom of the lake.

After a while, he finally got something: he found Ming Xia's arrow in the sand at the bottom of the lake.

While Qing Tan and Feng Ming were entangled with Zhu Huai, the convoy led by Nan Jiang was also trapped halfway by the sudden appearance of enemies.

It was a long, pitch-black snake.Its head, face and upper limbs are thick black and gray.When flying out of the crater at the top of the dune, the figure almost merged with the night sky.

It was not as huge as the long snake that Qingqiu ate the demon pill, but it was more powerful and flexible.The speed at which it slides down the dunes can be described as fast as lightning.Especially standing in the position of Qingqiu and the others, they just needed to raise their heads to look at the long snake, so this angle made the long snake even more intimidating.

Nanjiang pulled the trigger, and the dense bullets slowed it down.But it only slowed down.It doesn't mean to stop.

On the contrary, its head was raised higher, as if the resistance it encountered made it more excited.

The long snake arched its back, like a elastic rubber band, it bounced suddenly in mid-air.The huge body kept twisting in mid-air, and flew above them in the blink of an eye.

At such an angle, it is very difficult to hit it.If it weren't for the very light gray stripe on the long snake's abdomen, it would be almost invisible to those standing on the ground.

Nan Jiang noticed that the long snake began to move its neck continuously in mid-air.

"Not good," Nanjiang hurriedly pulled Qingqiu under the car, and then notified the other team members through the communicator, "Everyone be careful! It's about to spray poisonous juice!"

Nan Jiang pushed Qingqiu into the bottom of the car, followed by him, threw himself on the ground, rolled and got into the bottom of the car.Before one leg was fully retracted, there was a crackling sound, like a rainstorm hitting a glass window.Immediately afterwards, they all smelled a familiar smell: sour, bitter, and a slightly familiar fishy smell.

Nanjiang turned his head to the side, and saw many black spots appearing on the sand that the car body could not cover.

Thin smoke rose and curled up in the night wind.

Qingqiu asked Nanjiang in a low voice, "Is this the one who took Xie Rong away that night?"

"It feels very similar." Nanjiang said, "They are all hiding in the sand and waiting for an opportunity to move. The movements are fast, the concealment is so strong, and it is such an imperceptible color."

Qingqiu nodded, "It's no wonder we didn't see anything clearly that day."

The long black snake lazily swam around the convoy twice, as if it was very proud of itself for forcing everyone under the car.

It pushed away the cart blocking the way with its short and thick forelimbs, and swam back to the crater slowly with its tail flicking.

Nanjiang, "..."

Qingqiu, "..."

That's it... let's go? !

A group of people crawled out from under the car in disgrace, looking at each other.

What is this guy doing here?Lonely in the middle of the night, come out to find someone to exercise your hands and feet? !

This fight was not very sincere.

Nan Jiang thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed, "Someone is here to drag us... Something must have happened to Qing Tan and the others."
