"Let's withdraw too..." Zhang Yan slowly retreated.
The crushed place is only twenty steps away from Luotang's group. If another
torch falls, they will bear the brunt of the attack.
And Luo Tang didn't respond, his eyes vacantly moved back and forth on Luo
Qingnian who was not far away, obviously at a loss.
Zhang Yan hadn't withdrawn two steps before she found something hard against
the back of her neck.
He turned around and found that Xia Fan had put the wooden sword in his
throat.
"What do you mean?"
"Stay where you are, don't go anywhere, or I will cut you off the wall." Xia
Fan said in a deep voice.
"Brother Yan!" Zhang Shi yelled, and when he picked up a hoe, he wanted to
pounce on him. Xia Fan didn't step back and raised his sword to swing it down,
forcing Zhang Shi to retreat.
"Xia Fan...?" Luo Tang had some reaction at this time. She looked at the
deadlocked three people, a little confused for a while.
"Don't forget what you are here for!" Xia Fan suddenly raised the volume and
shouted at her.
Luo Tang shook suddenly and finally recovered.
"I... we must hold our torches." She clenched her fists and said to the Zhang
brothers, "If we run away, who will accept those retreating companions? You
two don't want your back to be completely dark. Right? Take a step back and
say, where can everyone run away? This is the Great Wild Night!"
"But you have also seen... the bench has escaped, and the charm will continue
to flood into the city wall!" Zhang Yan argued.
"I will fill in the missing torch——"
"No, your responsibility is to stay here," Xia Fan interrupted her, "Let me
go."
"You?" Luo Tang said in surprise, "Don't you know how to do long-distance
alchemy?"
In the defense just now, Xia Fan has not taken any action, but instead took
the role of guarding the torches, because he did not have the means to attack
Mei through the city wall.
Of course, all of these problems are attributed to his cheap master. Among the
seven or eight skills he taught him, few can attack, and they are basically
used for running away.
"The problem is that you can't either!" Xia Fan gave Luo Chang angrily.
The latter was a little confused at once. She had tried to attack evil
creatures with her own procreate before, and the effect was minimal.
"Anyway, do as I said! I won't be able to do it at a long distance, but it
doesn't mean it won't work at a short distance." He retracted the wooden sword
and said coldly to Zhang Yan, "Don't forget that the invigilator is probably
watching this last one. Fight, leave everyone and escape first, guess what
kind of evaluation you will get? If you get a penny, let alone three years,
I'm afraid that you will miss the Privy Council for 30 years."
"Uh..." Zhang Yan gritted her teeth, "I can't go anymore!"
"At least don't walk in front of everyone." Xia Fan turned to Luo Tang, "Help
me get a spare torch, hurry!"
Luo Tang took a deep look at him, and then took out a paper crane and said,
"Go to you, give life to you!"
The paper crane soared into the sky, pierced into the small square, grabbed
the wooden torch dropped by the bench in its claws, and tried to return to the
owner.
After dropping the torch, Luo Tang's body couldn't help swaying-obviously
flying with a heavy object would consume a lot of energy, and it would be
difficult for her to do it again in a short time.
"Be...be careful." She gasped.
"You don't need to say that I can too."
Xia Fan picked up the torch to light it, held it on his shoulder, and ran
towards the break in the city wall.
He knew it was risky, but it would only be more dangerous to stay in place and
watch. Transforming the town against Sha Ye certainly can gather the strength
of all the candidates, but it also tied everyone to a boat. If there is a flaw
in the whole plan, it is that he overestimated the examinee's will and
ability.
Xia Fan originally thought that he had only dealt with Xiaohui Xiaomei with
his master, and he really couldn't get hold of it in actual combat.
Unexpectedly, most people were worse than him. From Luo Tang's words, it can
be heard that even among the disciples of the aristocracy, only the top
talents are qualified for actual combat training. Insufficient experience,
coupled with psychological immaturity, makes candidates successfully fight the
charm at a long distance in the city. Once a contact battle is fought, the
situation is completely reversed.
As soon as the Western Wall collapsed, the replacement team in charge of the
Western Wall fled. This shows that the defense circle of Qingshan Town may
collapse at any time. The current persistence is due to inconvenience in
communication and poor vision at night. Although the defenders on the other
three walls can see the situation on the west wall, they are less affected and
do not have the pressure to face the demon at close range. There will not be
too many problems for the time being, but if the torch on the west wall One by
one will go out, no matter how stupid people will realize it is not good. Once
they fall into adversity, how much courage they still have to stand firm, Xia
Fan has no bottom at all.
In other words, if you don’t take immediate action to reignite the torch and
drive the demon out of the breach area, the situation at the Western Wall will
get worse. If someone runs away first at this time, it will probably cause a
collapse immediately. Without the city wall as a reliance, personal power will
become extremely limited. At that time, whoever lives and dies is completely
resigned.
This sign must be contained before the collapse!
Just when Xia Fan rushed to the edge of the collapse, the demon stood up
again.
It's bad!
This thought just came to his mind, the other party’s huge body has been
pressed against the city wall——
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, he felt the planks under his feet disintegrate in the
tremor, and many bricks and stones in front of him were even shaken up!
The only thing Xia Fan can do is to grab the torch and try his best to jump up
so that the burning end of the wood stick is always up.
……
Oops--
At the moment when the demon pounced, Luo gently sank to the bottom.
She was entangled by two charms, and she couldn't stop the other's actions.
She could only watch the wall under her feet split apart. She also lost her
footing and was about to fall down the city wall.
Behind the demon who was close at hand, Luo lightly saw the fire approaching
at the other end of the fracture. Perhaps the substitute team finally arrived.
Unfortunately, the situation took a turn for the worse. This torch alone could
no longer illuminate the enlarged gap. .
It would be nice if she could hold on for a while...
At this moment, a blue ripple suddenly spread, covering most of the collapsed
area!
"The hurdle is at the end, the flowers in the water!"
Her falling speed slowed down in an instant, and more than that, even the
sight of the falling stones became clear and recognizable, as if all the
surrounding objects were wrapped in invisible water, and the speed of her
walking was greatly slowed down.
The only thing that does not change is the caster-Fang Xiandao.
She was surprised to see that Fang Xiandao shuttled between falling rocks and
broken wood with a smooth pace, while shooting a talisman at her. When the
talisman paper hit her forehead, the influence of the cyan ripples on her also
disappeared suddenly.
Luo lightly knew instantly that she swung her sword towards the nearest blue
brick, adjusted her posture with the help of the force of collision, and then
imitated Fang Xiandao's appearance, jumping back and forth among the floating
stones, and finally as follows Stairs generally land smoothly.
"I didn't expect you to help me."
"Huh, there are priorities. Forgetting big plans because of the small section.
Only idiots can do this." Fang Xiandao opened the folding fan with a snap,
half covering him, "Since the ground defense is a foregone conclusion, I don't
have to go against the trend. What is best at arithmetic is that no matter how
the form changes, I can find the best solution for myself."
"You...recalculated?" Luo gently couldn't help but curiously asked.
"Yes, and the hexagrams are extremely clear. This time the Great Desolate
Night is all dependent on our first way. As long as we can persist until dawn,
our family will definitely be the first of the three!" He raised his mouth
slightly, "Look, the situation is now It's fulfilling, isn't it?"
As his fan closed, the ripples that swayed disappeared, and the falling
objects returned to their normal speed, smashing in front of the two one after
another.
"Are you okay." Feinian, who had been blocking the charm under the city wall
before, also rushed over, "The effect of this homing technique is really eye-
opening!"
"The Fang family is not only good at fortune-telling." Fang Xiandao pointed
directly at the demon lying on the fracture, "Now that the three families have
gathered, it's time to kill the monster in one go! Go!"
The two of them were motionless, looking at Fang Xiandao together.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"That technique just now...you don't use it again?" Luo gently asked in
surprise.
"That's right," Feinian nodded in agreement, "If we can hold the devil, we
will surely win."
"This..." Fang Xiandao was stunned, "Do you think this technique can be used
casually? The materials it requires are rare treasures, even I only brought
one copy!"
"Then you now..."
"I can help you in the battle." Fang Xian said confidently.
"Be careful!" Feinian warned suddenly.
Unfortunately, it is too late. I saw a dark shadow falling from the sky, and
hit Fang Xiandao with a thud!
Because Mei Mei can't fly and the three of them are not within the collapsed
area, few people pay attention to the situation in the air. This fall can be
described as unpredictable, Fang Xiandao was stunned to the ground before he
could react.
Luo was slightly surprised to find that the figure of the uninvited guest was
quite familiar.
"Xia...Fan?"
Xia Fan coughed twice, and finally stood up on the torch—the one just now was
really not light. If it weren’t an aspirator, he would have to break a leg if
he fell from a height of seven or eight meters. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
changed to a white-haired master, and it was normal to fall to death.
Fortunately, the torch did not go out after all.
"I brought a torch to support, I hope it's not too late."
Luo lightly couldn't help but startled, it turned out that the fire she saw
before was Xia Fan.
Just when the city wall was broken and the nearby groups were fleeing to a
place where there was still light, he walked against the flow of people,
trying to fill in the missing light.
She has fought him, and because of this, she knows that he is not the kind of
person who knows his skills.
Even so, he still came.
Luo could not help but feel a complicated feeling gently in his heart.
"Why... is it you?"
"The bench team can't be busy, I'll do it for the time being." Xia Fan
pretended to be relaxed, "With this torch, can I still fill the gap now?"
"I'm afraid it won't work." Feinian shook his head, "The light below is
difficult to shine on the city wall, and if you want to insert a torch, you
have to face the attacks of demons and charms."
"Well, I think so too..."
"In short, if we don't defeat the demon, we can't stop the breach." Feinen
paused, "but this torch has given us a great help-at least it won't let the
demon approach us easily. Leave the matter to me and Luo gently."
"Only you two?" Xia Fan frowned.
"There is another one under you."
Xia Fan quickly jumped away, only then did he find a Fang family man lying on
the ground, "Uh, I didn't notice--"
"Know, it's just an accident." Luo interrupted gently, "There are fewer
people, but the numbers here don't make much difference. As long as you stay
here, we will have a safe retreat. Even if we fail, You can also retreat all
over."
