to blame

Ming Xia jumped off Nan Jiang's shoulder, turned around and patted for him the places he stepped on.However, they were all covered in water, and the footprints they stepped on were all wet mud footprints, and they couldn't be wiped clean.

Nan Jiang took his hand, "Stop taking pictures, go over and have a look first."

Ming Xia ran two steps away, and when he turned his head and saw Nan Jiang shaking his arms, moving where he had stepped on, he immediately felt guilty, "I'll give you a good massage when all these troubles are resolved."

Nan Jiang couldn't help but laugh.

"Really." Seeing him smile, Ming Xia thought that he didn't believe what she said, so she quickly explained: "My grandparents' waist and legs are not very good, so I specially learned a few tricks from a health care doctor."

Nan Jiang couldn't hold it back, and touched his head with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait."

Ming Xia was already old, and her head was being patted like a child. She felt a little embarrassed, so she turned and ran forward.When running past the water scorpion, I don't know if it was his illusion, but the body of the water scorpion seemed a little smaller.

Ming Xia took a closer look, but didn't see anything, but although the strange feeling was vague, it was hard for him to ignore it.

Running out from the side of the water scorpion, I saw at a glance that Zhu Huai was holding a strange looking weapon in his hand. At his feet, the place where the arrow from the beauty pine should have fallen, but now there was only the long arrow lying crookedly on the ground and a piece of mud. Soaked turquoise juice.

Ming Xia suddenly became hairy, and he looked at Zhu Huai with a terrified gaze that he didn't realize.

Zhu Huai turned his head to the side, sighed slightly, he was unwilling to believe that just such an ordinary human being, without any impressive force value, and even not courageous enough, under his nose, with just one A long arrow killed Meirensong's clone.

What has become of the outside world?

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Huai's yearning for freedom became more and more urgent.

Nan Jiang chased up from the front, and he understood what was going on with just one glance.

This is not the body of the beauty pine.

Pine trees are a very strange monster race, their bodies have thousands of well-developed root systems.Each root can extend to a new place, where a new tree can grow.And every small tree that grows from the root system can be used as a puppet by the body of the beauty pine.

This is what happened to them.

Thinking of this, Nan Jiang's heart was aroused, and he turned to look at the water sparrow, and sure enough, he saw its huge body shrinking into the mud bit by bit.

Not an illusion.

Ming Xia finally realized that the body of the water pheasant was indeed shrinking, and while shrinking, it slowly sank into the mud by the lake, and then slowly slid into the lake along the muddy river bank.

Nanjiang's heart sank slowly.

They were cautious all the way, but in the end they were fooled by the monster.They want to delay the enemy and buy time for the comrades in the technical team to repair the formation.But now it seems that this pair of monsters is also trying to hold them back.

why?

Nanjiang pondered intently, and various thoughts came to his mind, and finally settled on the most likely hypothesis: Meirensong and Shuizhi were also planning something, something related to breaking the formation, and they were afraid that they would encounter obstacles. So they arranged clones to trap them one step ahead - not only the action team, but all the demon hunters who were close to the pine tree cliff were their targets.

The scales of the water gnats left by the lake that Ming Xia noticed before were the bait they laid.

Failed.

Nan Jiang felt annoyed for a moment, and began to think nervously about what to do next.

Ming Xia approached cautiously, and took back those long arrows with special coating on the ground.He had an intuition that Zhu Huai couldn't let Zhu Huai discover the secret of the coating on the arrowhead.

In fact, Zhu Huai did not expect it.

There was no such thing, or such technology, at all in the era before his arrest.He couldn't imagine that the thing that could restrain the demon power would be concentrated on the thin layer of coating on the outer layer of the arrow.

Zhu Huai watched Ming Xia vigilantly, and began to suspect that there was something extraordinary about this man's archery skills.

Ming Xia gave him a dry laugh, and ran back behind Nanjiang with his crossbow in his arms.

At this time, several people who were entangled in the tree also climbed down one after another, and Li Youran and Baiying also slowly surrounded Zhu Huai with a crossbow, forming a circle around Zhu Huai.

Zhu Huai showed a gentle and harmless smile to the people around him, and then stretched out his hand in front of everyone, letting them watch the pair of horned weapons slowly melt into his body.

Zhu Huai noticed that the people around him didn't look relaxed because of this.

After so many years of recuperation, the gang of demon hunters seemed to be more cautious.Zhu Huai thought with some distaste, didn't it mean that the outside world has become quite peaceful since their batch of old goods were sealed up?If it's really peaceful, why do all these demon hunters look like they have experienced many battles?

Zhu Huai asked himself again: What is the outside world like?

Nan Jiang and Zhu Huai looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Zhu Huai, I heard that you can't hide anything from the aquatic world."

Zhu Huai smiled very modestly, "How should I say this? It's so-so, not so sharp."

Ming Xia thought that this monster was good at beautifying himself. Nan Jiang said that he had a gossipy mind and liked to inquire about things, so he said that he had good ears and eyes.Sure enough, changing the adjective sounds different.

Youkai are not only narcissistic, but also super proud.

Nan Jiang didn't care about his words, "In other words, you actually know what Meirensong and Shuizhi are doing."

Zhu Huai smiled and said nothing.

Nanjiang's intentions towards him were beyond even a thought, and Zhu Huai didn't even try to hide it, he had already clearly stated what he had in mind.

"There's no need to think about bargaining," Nan Jiang looked at him calmly, "The attitude of the demon town master has always been very clear. Since you have indeed played a role in assisting our actions, do you have any requirements in life that you can ask? The organization will study it carefully. However, you don’t need to talk about letting you out, I won’t pass it here.”

This was an expected answer, and Zhu Huai was not surprised.

"I will seriously consider it, and when you leave the formation, I will tell you my thoughts." Zhu Huai still looked very sincere, even in the face of guarded and hostile eyes, his attitude Also still free and easy.

Nan Jiang nodded slightly, "Yes."

At this time, Ming Xia already knew that the water gnats and beauty pine trees that they took so much effort to kill were just a cover-up.

While frustrated, he also had a new understanding of the abilities of the monster species.

It's no wonder that monsters think that humans are food.Just from the perspective of physical strength and force value, only a very small number of human beings have the ability to contend with monsters.

This is a natural difference between species. If human beings want to survive under this disadvantage, they must find a way.If the old ways don't work, find a new way.

For example, the new composite material launched by the "Sixth Group" R&D Department, such as this coating with a mysterious composition.

In the harsh struggle for survival, nature still left a glimmer of life for human beings.

Their destination was Pine Tree Cliff. Although they were delayed for a day in Shenxing Lake, it seems that this destination has not shifted.

When the big guy lit a fire to dry his clothes, Ming Xia couldn't help muttering, "No wonder I thought this big snake was better at the beginning. It turns out that his mother is a clone."

Nan Jiang knew that he almost died the first time he met the water scorpion, and even the protective shield in his own body was almost destroyed.In such a comparison, the trouble just now is really nothing.

Nan Jiang patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, "Then get ready, maybe the real battle will happen later."

Ming Xia honestly checked his weapons and counted the remaining arrow boxes in his hand.The same goes for the others. Tang Xun led people to re-adjust the equipment, and the others counted the food and weapons, but Zhu Huai did not leave for some reason. Look at them.

Ming Xia grabbed Nan Jiang's hand and wrote in his palm.

[This one is also a clone? ]

[Zhu Huai's body must remain in the seal.This one in front of you can be regarded as a ghost. ]

[Spirit and body separated? □□Sealed, this part is the spirit? ]

[When a person is asleep, the brain waves are still active.The same goes for monsters, but their energy fluctuations are more intense.Think of him as a projection of brain waves in the real world. ]

Ming Xia felt that her knowledge of monsters had been refreshed again.

Monsters can instantly kill human beings with their own spiritual power. When the main body comes out, the spiritual and physical abilities are combined into one, so what kind of power should it be? !

[Who made the big formation?When did the battle of ten thousand monsters happen? ]

Nan Jiang laughed helplessly, "These two issues are relatively complicated. When I go back, let Mr. Hu teach you a few lessons."

When he smiled, Zhu Huai looked over.Examining eyes, full of curiosity.

Ming Xia sneaked a glance at Nanjiang, um, a handsome young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes.

Ming Xia was a little worried, thinking that Zhu Huaiming knew that Zhenyaosi would not forgive him, and even took a green luan's feather to make a relationship with them, there must be something that he couldn't tell others the reason?

Two hours later, the group bypassed Shenxing Lake, followed the previously scheduled route and continued northward, arriving at the No. [-] Supply Station of the Great Array at four o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, there were already scattered snowflakes in the sky.

Compared with the No. [-] supply station, the No. [-] station is much simpler.It directly uses a natural cave on the mountain rock for transformation and reinforcement.A courtyard wall as high as a man was built around the cave with stones to block passing wild animals. There is also a well in the small courtyard separated from it. The edge of the well is quite high, and the mouth of the well is small. Things that have been repaired over the years.

The cave is divided into several areas, including living areas and storage areas.

Nanjiang re-collared the training uniforms for the players to deal with the cold weather.Food, equipment, and weapons also needed to be supplemented. All of these required him to fill out the application form and take the supplementary page back to the logistics department of the "Sixth Group" for review.

On the outer rock wall of the second floor of the cave, several lookout openings were cut. Standing here, you can clearly see the movement of most of the valley.In this magical place where electronics don't work, the lookout is useful.Although the monsters move fast, it is very important to be able to give an early warning, even if it is only a few minutes and a few seconds.

Nan Jiang made arrangements for night shifts, and gathered the rest of the people in a big cave on the first floor to rest.This place is already very close to the territory of Meirensong, and there is also a Huai of unknown attributes outside, so it is always right to be careful.

Zhu Huai couldn't get in places like supply stations.Even if Nanjiang invites him, he cannot enter.In the words of Nanjiang and the others, there are also seals around the supply station.

Ming Xia looked at it twice from the window, Zhu Huai was like a ghost, sitting far away on a big tree, his white robes fluttering around, there was a sense of desolate beauty in the night, but... ...indescribably lonely.
