Chapter 224: Crow's Mouth Cliff escapes
People often say that a good man cannot be defeated by four hands, and a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter how brave the golden snake is today, it will show signs of physical exhaustion over time.
When Xue Meijiao looked up, that was when the golden snake began to lose its strength.
At this moment, three blood bats stared with blood-red eyes, flapped their wings, and attacked the golden snake at lightning speed.
The golden snake waved its golden tail and long tapered mouth as it faced the three blood bats.
Using this counterattack, the golden snake could only withstand the attack of two blood bats at most, but the third one couldn't resist it anyway, so it could only use its golden body to block the attack.
The blood bats' attacks came like lightning, but the golden snake seemed a little unable to defend itself. At this critical moment, the three attacking blood bats fluttered their wings and slowly fell down before they could get close.
The little golden snake was about to suffer a loss, but unexpectedly defused the opponent's attack. It shook its golden head, and with a "swish", it rushed to Zhao Fan and crawled quietly at Zhao Fan's feet.
Xue Meijiao looked back in confusion, and saw Zhao Fan leaning sideways, with one right hand still in the air, but his eyes were shooting out streams of light, which was obviously a sign of recovery of physical strength.
Indeed, just when the golden snake was about to attack the three blood bats, Zhao Fan suddenly woke up from his sleep. Seeing that the golden snake was unable to cope with the attack, he had no choice but to help.
What Zhao Fan didn't expect was that as soon as he woke up, his physical strength would return to its original state. How did he come back? Even he couldn't explain clearly.
As the golden snake landed to rest, Zhao Fan became the main team member attacking the blood bats.
Zhao Fan turned to look at Xue Meijiao and said in a low voice: "Hurry and throw the cloth bag over."
Xue Meijiao didn't have time to think too much and handed over the cloth bag.
Zhao Fan caught the cloth bag, opened it quickly with one hand, took out more than ten copper coins from the bag with the other hand, and hit the blood bats hovering in the air.
This time, Zhao Fanmo used his magic power to forcefully raise it to the eighth level before hitting the copper coin.
The copper coins seemed to be drunk and flew forward staggeringly. Just when they were about to reach the blood bat's position, suddenly, the copper coins collided with each other in mid-air. In addition to making a harsh sound, there were countless strong wind sounds.
The moment the copper coins collided, they suddenly turned into countless mung bean-sized copper pieces and exploded where the blood bats were hovering.
It was too late, but it was faster than that. The blood bats that were originally hovering in mid-air were hit by the sound of copper pieces coming from all directions. In an instant, they broke the formation of the blood bats' attack and tore a hole.
Zhao Fan slowly stood up and looked at the golden snake, "Thank you, golden snake, let's get out of here quickly!"
The little golden snake seemed to understand Zhao Fan's words, swaying its body and followed Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan took out more than ten copper coins from the cloth bag and handed the cloth bag to Xue Meijiao, "Are you okay? Don't make any mistakes again and rush out with me."
Xue Meijiao nodded sheepishly, "They are eager to find you. Look at you, why are you still blaming others? I will listen to you this time and I will never dare to walk around again."
Zhao Fan smiled and said: "This time I have paid off the power of the blood bat. Let's see who dares to break into Crow's Mouth Cliff again in the future."
"If we can safely evacuate from Crow's Mouth Cliff this time, firstly, it is the credit of the golden snake, and secondly, it is the credit of Jin Zihao's bag of copper coins. You also have the credit, but you also have the fault. You want to offset each other, neither reward nor punishment. That's okay, right?
?”
Xue Meijiao shook her head, "As long as I'm alive, it's good. How dare I have any opinions? However, if you look at me and go out, I'm afraid it will damage your image as commander, right?"
Zhao Fan turned around and glanced at Xue Meijiao, only to see that she had no complete clothes on her body, and most of her exposed skin was covered with bloodstains.
Zhao Fan's nose felt sour and he almost burst into tears. He turned around quickly, hugged Xue Meijiao, and said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't take good care of you, and you were wronged."
Xue Meijiao choked up and replied: "I don't blame you. I didn't listen to the words of the eldest sister and the second sister. In order to take a shortcut, I put myself in danger, and you almost lost your life in vain."
Zhao Fan reached out and gently covered Xue Meijiao's lips, "It's not a good place to stay. Let's go out first."
As he spoke, Zhao Fan took off his coat and put it on Xue Meijiao's body. Although it could not completely cover the exposed skin, it could be considered that the beauty was preserved.
Zhao Fan held Xue Meijiao with one hand and the copper coin with the other, and climbed up.
With the help of the golden snake, Zhao Fan dealt with the blood bats much more easily than before. An hour later, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain safely.
Zhao Fan took a deep breath and was about to pull Xue Meijiao to join Wang Xiaowu when the golden snake behind him suddenly emitted a golden light and disappeared with a "swish" sound.
Xue Meijiao asked in surprise: "Brother Fan, is this little golden snake enchanted? It seems to know you and is like an old friend. Could it be sent by God to protect you?"
"Are humans, like the golden snakes, gods or messengers sent to the world by God?"
Zhao Fan smiled and said: "You have so many questions, but I really don't know how to answer the questions you asked?"
"I met the little golden snake on the mountain peak next to Lingji Temple. I was picking anti-inflammatory medicine. It may be a spiritual beast that guards anti-inflammatory medicine. However, this is just a hearsay, and I don't actually believe it."
"While picking anti-inflammatory medicine, I had a fight with a little golden snake. The little golden snake almost fell to death on the boulder on the cliff without paying attention. When I saw this, I couldn't bear to let it die, so I rescued it."
"There is nothing else, but the little golden snake seems to have been following us. Several times when we were in the most dangerous situation, the little golden snake rescued us, but after the rescue, it disappeared."
"I am also very confused about this. Is it true that I and the golden snake are destined? As for you mentioning me, I can tell you clearly that I live in Xiaoyao Villa in Xiaoyao Mountain."
"For some unknown reason, a fatal disaster was caused. The villa was destroyed and the villagers were killed. I escaped unexpectedly. It was Su Quyun and her father who saved me. Otherwise, I would have passed away long ago."
"I bear the responsibility of avenging the folks of Xiaoyao Villa. I am not a strange person at all. If you said that, this revenge would have been avenged long ago. How can I wait until now? How many opponents and who are the participants?
I haven’t figured it out yet.”
Xue Meijiao watched Zhao Fan speak sincerely, not as if he was making up a story at all, but as if he was telling his bizarre life experience and the heavy responsibility he shouldered.
Xue Meijiao did not interrupt Zhao Fan's words, just like a loyal listener, deeply attracted by the protagonist of the story.
Suddenly, there was a burst of footsteps on the right side of the mountain, and a familiar voice came from the distance.
"Brother Fan, Brother Fan..."
There were also mixed shouts from the crowd, "Commander, Commander..."
The screams and shouts were getting closer and closer. Zhao Fan was also disturbed by the sound. He immediately stopped the painful memories, looked at Xue Meijiao whose face was full of surprise, and said softly:
"After talking so much, even I don't understand it myself. You may not understand it even more. After the killer of Xiaoyao Villa is found, I will tell you everything that happened to me in detail."
Xue Meijiao smiled softly, "Brother Fan, you are so great. I used to think that you were not afraid of the underworld and sinister forces because you were against the Flying Eagle Hall. Now that I heard you say this, I finally found some answers."
"From now on, your business is my business. I have a share in avenging the fellow villagers. You must not throw me away. I am your wife who shares the joys and sorrows with you."
Zhao Fan smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your understanding. This matter may involve relatively large forces and is extremely difficult to deal with. I don't want you to be involved in this vortex."
Zhao Fan politely declined, not because he did not trust Xue Meijiao, but because he made a choice to protect her from harm.
Just when Xue Meijiao was trying her best to persuade Zhao Fan to participate in revenge, Wild Rose and Ouyang Huixian, who came from a distance, as well as Jin Zihao, Wang Xiaowu and others, arrived in the blink of an eye.
Xue Meijiao could not continue to pester her, so she could only follow Zhao Fan and walk towards the crowd.
When the two sides were still thirty or forty meters apart, Ouyang Huixian asked loudly and anxiously: "Brother Fan, Fourth Sister, how are you? Stop and rest quickly, so as not to injure the wound again."
Wild Rose also shouted loudly: "I have sent someone to ask the eldest sister to come over and help you two treat your injuries."
…
People were getting closer and closer, and the voices were getting more and more mixed. Faced with everyone's chattering, Zhao Fan didn't know which of them to answer first? Or who to answer first? He could only choose to smile.
Ouyang Huixian quickly ran to Zhao Fan, and immediately fell into his arms. He choked and said, "Brother Fan, brother Fan, are you okay?"
"When Jin Zihao took me and my fourth sister to the foot of the mountain, he found that you were missing. We were all frightened and didn't know what to do?"
"If you take away three advantages and two disadvantages, how will our four sisters survive? This time it is all my fault. If you want to punish me, just punish me. It has nothing to do with the fourth sister."
Zhao Fan caressed Ouyang Huixian's shoulders with both hands and said softly: "Brothers, we will be here soon. It will not be good for us to do this. If you have any questions, we can wait until we return to the molten cave to talk about it, okay?"
Ouyang Huixian reluctantly left Zhao Fan's arms and walked towards Xue Meijiao.
In a short time, everyone had surrounded Zhao Fan. Everyone looked left and right, their eyes full of doubts.
Zhao Fan smiled and said, "Brothers are worried. Xue Meijiao and I are both fine. If you don't believe me, just look at me. I don't look injured at all."
Then, Zhao Fan looked at Jin Zihao and said, "Everyone is almost rested. Please quickly organize your team and follow the first battalion commander to the molten cave."
Jin Zihao asked doubtfully: "Let the first battalion commander lead the team to the melting cave. Wang Xiaowu and I made a simple stretcher for you. We will carry you the rest of the way."
Zhao Fan stretched out his hand and beat his chest vigorously, and said in a firm tone: "You can rest assured, I haven't needed to ride on a stretcher yet, so I'll leave the stretcher to the brothers who need it most. I will follow you, and at the same time, I will be responsible for cutting off the back.
