Chapter 241 Attack
There have been no humans in the primeval forest for too long. For the animals living here, humans are equivalent to aliens that suddenly broke into the earth, making them curious and scared.
Many predators just watched from a distance and left soon after. Because they were not sure of their threat level, the predators did not dare to attack rashly.
But the ghosts hiding in the woods don't have so many scruples.
Most are animal ghosts, and only a few are humanoid ghosts. Even so, the humanoid ghost still relied on his intelligence to gain the right to speak.
Under their command, this group of ghosts from the underworld launched their first attack on the group of people.
Those flying in the sky and running on the ground rushed towards everyone from all directions.
Regardless of their strength, just looking at this number can scare someone to death. Countless ghosts are overwhelming, like a tsunami, as if they will be drowned in the next second.
But facing these miscellaneous fish, even Zhang Qiuyan's expression didn't change much, let alone others.
Huo Yunjing took a step forward, blocking Gu Qingyin and Huo Xingchen behind him, and then opened a restriction to block the ghost in front of him.
Gu Qingyin was not idle either. The moment she was blocked, the talisman in her hand flew out like a goddess scattering flowers. The moment it touched the soul body, it bloomed with soft light and was saved silently.
Behind him, Gu Ziqian stood on the spot, raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers. The attacking souls seemed to have hit something, and fell to the ground with a loud "bang".
Seeing that the situation was not good, the humanoid ghost hiding behind turned around and ran away. After another loud "bang", the forest returned to silence again.
After a few minutes, all the ghosts that attacked them were transcended, and the group continued on their way.
Similar small attacks will be experienced almost every half an hour. They are not even small setbacks. At most, they are small adjustments in the boring journey.
Soon, two hours passed, and Huo Xingchen's body became obviously tense.
Gu Qingyin understood and warned: "It's coming."
Zhang Qiuyan and Dongfang Ling, who were walking in the middle and were well protected, were both refreshed and took out their magic weapons to defend themselves.
The speed of everyone's movement remained unchanged, but the atmosphere became obviously tense. Their eyes scanned the surroundings from time to time, alerting them to the coming danger.
Knowing that there would be danger, but not knowing when it would come, Zhang Qiuyan felt that seconds seemed like years, and it was so depressing that she felt like she couldn't breathe.
This reminded her of the first time she accepted a commission, and she was so nervous.
But looking at the other people, although they were also wary, their brows and eyes were still relaxed.
Zhang Qiuyan couldn't help but smile bitterly. She had been in the industry for many years and was still a rookie when she came back. She must have been the one she was talking about.
At this time, Huo Xingchen, who was being held in Gu Qingyin's arms, suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
Huo Xingchen smiled slightly and looked away naturally.
Zhang Qiuyan was stunned for a moment, feeling even more bitter in her heart. Her mentality was not as good as that of a child, although children may not know what fear is at all...
After thinking wildly, Zhang Qiuyan became less nervous. She took a deep breath and suddenly paused.
Dongfang Lingjun, who was next to him, noticed something strange, turned around and looked over, and asked with concern: "Dayan? Are you tired?"
Zhang Qiuyan slowly raised her head, and at the same time, her hand holding the mahogany dagger stabbed Dongfang Lingjun very quickly!
Dongfang Lingjun's pupils shrank, and he reacted in his mind and wanted to hide, but his old body obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of his brain. He only had time to shake for a moment, and his skin felt the stinging pain from the sword tip. It’s over! Dongfang Lingjun thought, his time and space formation has not been arranged yet!
There was a "ding" sound, and the wooden sword that was thrust was blocked. It was a white jade fan, made by Gu Ziqian.
The next second, Zhang Qiuyan was also trapped by the magic locking talisman.
The crisis is temporarily over.
After the pure white jade fan was taken back, Dongfang Lingjun came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Qiuyan, who looked numb, with an anxious look on his face, "Has the wild goose been taken away?"
At some point, Gu Qingyin had put Huo Xingchen down and was looking at Zhang Qiuyan with her chin on her face. She shook her head and responded, "It's more like being controlled."
Huo Yunjing nodded, "Weak willpower, we were taken advantage of."
Dongfang Lingjun sighed, a little regretful that he had brought Zhang Qiuyan. He was a good seedling. If he failed in Ailao Mountain because of his decision, he would never forgive himself until his death.
"It's not a big problem, just remove it." Gu Ziqian took a step forward and was about to take action.
"You don't need to do anything about this little thing!" A milky voice came from below.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Everyone looked at the sound, and then their eyes were attracted by the thin black stick in Huo Xingchen's hand.
Gu Qingyin smiled understandingly, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Gu Ziqian looked at the little black stick and raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this a magic weapon for the soul to recognize its master?
Huo Yunjing was also surprised. After knowing him for so many days, this was the first time he saw Huo Xingchen take out this little black stick. Maybe it had a miraculous effect?
Compared to them, Dongfang Lingjun was much more impatient. He didn't think that such a young child could save his precious apprentice, "Xingchen, stop making trouble..."
"Grandpa, believe me!" Huo Xingchen jogged two steps, stood in front of Zhang Qiuyan, raised his little head, looked directly into Zhang Qiuyan's numb eyes, then raised his baton and said seriously: "Get out of here!"< br>
The next second, a gust of night wind blew by, Zhang Qiuyan rolled his eyes and fainted.
Dongfang Lingjun was startled. Just as he was about to go over, he was held down by Gu Ziqian, "It's okay."
Dongfang Lingjun: "Huh?"
In less than two words, Zhang Qiuyan, who had fainted, woke up again. She raised her head and looked at everyone with a blank look on her face, "What happened?"
Gu Qingyin canceled the effect of the talisman, and the support from the God-locking talisman suddenly disappeared. She staggered twice before standing still, and then said "Huh?" with a surprised look on her face, "Why do I feel so weak...What happened? ?”
For a moment, no one spoke.
Gu Qingyin and the other three were waiting for Dongfang Lingjun to speak, but Dongfang Lingjun was still shocked by Huo Xingchen's ability. In the end, Huo Xingchen, a pseudo-child, shook the baton in his hand with a proud look and explained briefly and concisely. What just happened.
Zhang Qiuyan was very shocked. Are all children today so powerful? Then there was shame. She had lived in vain for more than twenty years, and she still had to be rescued by a baby... Oh my god, she was so shameless!
Zhang Qiuyan's face turned red, but she still bravely looked directly at Huo Xingchen and thanked her sincerely.
Huo Xingchen shook his head and stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly tilted his head and grinned with an evil smile, "You're welcome."
Zhang Qiuyan was stunned, something was wrong? She subconsciously raised her head and saw Gu Qingyin, Huo Yunjing and Gu Ziqian both had cold faces, frowning and staring closely at "Huo Xingchen" standing in the middle of the crowd.
