The twilight air in the mountains is churning like a ghost.
Lie Xiling and Qian Chi Zheng Sheng gave some instructions, and everyone returned to the thatched hut under the basin vent to rest.
The dusk mist dispersed, the night gradually darkened, and the wind in the mountains and forests was threatened by the cold weather, whizzing towards the narrow part of the basin.
At the dead valley in front of the basin, a group of people came meandering over. The night was so dark that they couldn't see their figures clearly. All they heard was an unruly voice urging: "Hurry up. Others say the weather is ominous, but I just don't believe it. Wait."
It’s not too late to take a rest after catching up with everyone in the Chenwu Sect!”
By the time we arrived at Dehai, we could not see our fingers in the entire basin. In the middle thatched hut, the lights were not bright, and the sound of conversation was low, and we were about to fall asleep.
Everyone in the room was in a different situation. Although Li Mu beside Qian Chi did not speak, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Lie Xiling and Chen Chong, who were not far away, looked at each other.
One glance, vaguely asking if the other party is ready.
Zhao Xin looked at Yun Ziyi and saw her resolute look, but a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to shake her Rouyi and gave her a faint smile.
As for the other eight people, they were not with them, but were separated in a thatched cottage not far away. The situation was also vigilant, and their expressions were solemn.
Until three quarters of the hour, there was still no movement in the sea of grass. The mountain wind became stronger, blowing the grass and trees upside down.
Lie Xiling nodded towards Qian Chi, and saw Qian Chi wave his hand, and the big dim red light in the thatched hut was immediately extinguished. Soon after, the thatched hut not far away also fell into darkness.
Another hour passed, and the sound of steady breathing came from the thatched cottage with all the lights out. It was blocked by the half-foot-high vegetation around the thatched cottage, and the breathing could be heard.
The midnight hour comes and goes, and the sea of grass falls slightly. On the periphery of the basin, a few figures gradually appear, and then hide in the tall grass and trees, making it difficult to find their traces.
Wuwu, like the sound of wind blowing through cracks. The sound is subtle and not noticeable.
"Here we come." Lie Xiling suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.
"Junior Brother Hunter, Junior Sister Zhou, you two sneak into the wind outlet first." Qian Chi said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, we can only see them until the second watch, and they won't make any movement for the time being. If we leave, it will arouse suspicion." Lie Xiling replied in a low voice: "Let's go out again at three o'clock."
Between the eaves, a small wind chime hung by someone unknown was blown by the wind, making a crisp sound.
Three sounds, followed by three more. In a moment, they were buried by the sound of falling vegetation.
There was still no movement in the other room, the night became darker and darker, and apart from the sound of the wind, the sea of grass was as quiet as death.
The rustling sound among the grass was covered up by the sound of falling wood. No matter how weird it was, dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes were suddenly revealed at the edge of the sea of grass thousands of feet away.
And further away, on the foothills on the edge of the basin, thousands of pairs of blood-colored eyes stared at the two thatched cottages in the middle of the sea of grass, motionless.
"At this moment, Senior Brother Qian, I have to ask you to take good care of Li Mu. I will go out to visit first, and everyone will evacuate later." Lie Xiling estimated that it was the third quarter of the hour and whispered.
"This damn weather has suddenly turned cold. Are we going to let people live?" A man walked out of the thatched cottage, his eyes soft from time to time, as if he hadn't yet had enough sleep. He muttered and walked for a while before pulling away.
When I reached the distance from the thatched cottage, I was about to undress and take off my belt, when my expression suddenly became shocked.
"Fire Fox, it's Nanli Fire Fox who's following us." After saying that, he was about to run back, but unexpectedly his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.
This person was none other than Lie Xiling, who was the first to explore the road. He looked panicked, and after a while of running quickly, he tripped over vegetation and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, he didn't panic. Instead, he clutched the thatch as if he was angry, feeling sorry for himself.
stand up.
Woo! Less than a hundred feet in front of him, dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared. Seeing his panic, they rushed out in a flash, intending to tear the person who made the sound into pieces.
When the dozens of Nanli Firefoxes followed, Lie Xiling had already retreated into the house and caught Wu Feng in his hand. "Quickly go, Brother Qian, you two will stay here for the time being. We will fight and retreat to the haystack."
Go. Remember, don’t kill these firefoxes yet. Lead them into the middle of the haystack first. The more chaotic the scene, the better.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations in the room, and the lights were bright, as if everyone had just woken up from their sleep.
"Are you afraid?" Lie Xiling passed by Yun Ziyi, suddenly stopped, and asked lightly. Yun Ziyi, who was wearing a light red military uniform, glanced at her, and although his expression was cold, he shook his head firmly.
"How dare you sneak attack me?" As soon as Lie Xilingfang went out, the edgeless sword whizzed around him, killing the dozens of Nanli Fire Foxes in front of him.
The edgeless sword seems to have lost its strength. Often when it attacks the Nanli Firefox, it will slowly fly back as if it has lost its strength. The faint golden light on the sword's edge makes the dozens of Nanli Firefox in front of it fly back.
As if being teased, he suddenly becomes furious and roars unknowingly.
Zhao Xin casually killed a few Nanli Fire Foxes, then led Yun Ziyi and ran upwind towards the haystacks. At first glance, it seemed that he was outnumbered and could only find a place to hide.
At this moment, the Yuanli arrows of the giant bow of 'Feng Yin' sounded softly. But it was Lie Zhuang, Yuan Wen and Wei Qingxian who also ran out of the house in the dark of night. There were more fire foxes on their sides to the south.
No less than dozens.
Although there are many in number, judging from their speed, they are only around the level of the fourth level of Yuanli. The Lie brothers were chased and fled by them back then, but now they have changed their appearance. The hunters of those days have become the prey of today.
The square weapon glowed brightly and flew up and down. No single sword attack killed a Nanli Fire Fox. At most, it only slightly injured it. In this way, the Nanli Fire Fox showed its fierce appearance.
A group of people seemed to be out of control, so they had to fight and retreat, heading in the direction of the haystacks. Dozens of stacked haystacks formed a laneway, which was a hundred feet wide and stretched across the wide basin, as if the basin was cut into two ends.
"Turn left, turn left..." Lie Xiling entered the haystack and saw the wormwood branches used as markers inside, and shouted.
Dozens of layers of maze-like lanes cut the road into twists and turns. After a while, all the Nanli Firefoxes who entered the haystack maze got sidetracked from everyone else. Even though they were separated by a grass wall, they were still unable to climb.
In addition, when stacking the haystacks, Lie Xiling did not cut off the grass and trees used to build the maze, but simply weaved them. Even if Nanli Fire Fox wanted to get under them, he could not.
Wuwu, the Nanli Firefox, which had been unable to attack for a long time, was in chaos, as if it was locked in a bitter battle with everyone. Just as they were screaming and fighting, the sword light flew into the thatched house, easily killing the Nanli Firefox who had entered the house.
Harvest.
Lie Xiling led everyone out of the haystack maze and waved to Lie Zhuang and Yuan Wen. Wang Xiao and Han Li immediately hid in the grass and followed them. Then Lie Xiling told Zhou Wan,
Leading Chen Chong, Zhao Xin and Yun Ziyi, they lowered their bodies and sneaked away in the opposite direction to Lie Zhuang and others.
No one noticed that the gap at the edge of the haystack was changing. Not long after, the entire narrow Caohai Basin was faintly cut into two sections by the haystack, but on both sides of the foothills, there were dozens of feet in size left on each side.
Entrance.
The Nanli Firefox trapped in the middle of the haystack screamed loudly, and at the hut where Qian Chi and Zheng Sheng stayed, the number of Nanli Firefox gathered was increasing, and there were no less than a hundred.
The stubborn young man Li Mu said nothing and waved his long sword desperately, cutting off the approaching Nanli Firefox in half. Before he had time to wipe off the blood on the sword, he pierced another Nanli Firefox who was planning to attack.
After holding on for about an hour, Yinshi arrived early. The cry of the fire fox in Zhongnanli in Caohai was still heard. A sharp cry was heard from the foothills around the basin, and hundreds of black figures were seen galloping down toward the illuminated thatched cottage.
.
In less than half a cup of tea, the sounds of fighting in the thatched cottage became more urgent.
There was a slight movement somewhere in the haystack, and Zhou Wan appeared: "Junior Brother Hunter, I'm worried that Senior Brother Qian and the others can resist it?"
Lie Xiling looked at the sky, then turned back to look at the dark foothills around the basin, and said: "Senior Sister Zhou, don't worry, it's already two quarters past two o'clock. Before Mao o'clock, I will definitely let Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Zheng take care of themselves."
Come out of the sea."
Yun Ziyi looked at him, pursed her lips, but didn't say a word.
Unable to break out of the formation, the Nanli Fire Fox began to bite the haystack lifelessly. It was no longer as cunning as before, but more ferocious and ferocious, showing its instinct for survival. Lie Xiling, however, remained unwavering, standing around the haystack.
After going back and forth several times, he killed the Nanli Fire Fox who was about to break out of the formation with one sword strike.
The shouts of Zheng Sheng and Qian Chi came from the direction of the thatched cottage. It was the faint attack of the all-pervasive Nanli Fire Fox, which caused them to be in chaos. From a distance, they could only see 'Fei Bai' carrying a golden light, easily harvesting the lives of several Nanli Fire Foxes.
However, Nanli Firefox continued one after another, and gradually, he could only resort to fighting.
On the eve of Demao hour, the mountain forest was still silent. Lie Xiling could hear Zheng Sheng's voice was thick and heavy, which must have been due to excessive consumption of Yuan energy. Although Qian Chi was also a bit of a stickler, he was much better than Zheng Sheng.
"That's it, let's wait for half a stick of incense. If the last Nanli Fire Foxes still don't move, let them come back first." Lie Xiling looked at the sky and thought to himself: 'It seems that the number of these Nanli Fire Foxes is too large.
, In the days to come, I will probably have to let him follow me all the way.'
At this moment, the whistling on the mountain ridge started again. Before a cup of tea could be had, the sound of Qian Chi's shouting became more urgent. And at this moment, Lie Xiling heard the rustling on the mountain ridge, which was vaguely other small animals.
shadow.
It was estimated that all the fire foxes from Nanli had gathered towards the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain. Lie Xiling let out a whistle, and the same whistle came from the foot of the mountain in the north. In less than half a cup of tea, the dozens of feet of empty space that had been reserved in advance were instantly opened.
The haystacks blocked it.
"Hey!" The whistle sounded again, and four sword lights were seen rising from the thatched hut, roaring towards the place where the whistle came, and arriving in a blink of an eye. At this moment, a pine resin torch had been lit, far away
Once thrown, it landed dozens of feet behind the haystack formation. Immediately afterwards, more rosin torches were pulled out from the haystack, ignited, and thrown out one after another...
The mountain wind became more violent, rushing towards the narrow part of the basin. In an instant, the screams of thousands of south-facing firefoxes rang out in the basin. The sea of dry grass in the entire basin rose into flames several feet high, and the screams were about to begin.
submerged.
Everyone looked at the basin that was engulfed in flames in the distance and couldn't help but be fascinated. After looking at it, they all turned back to look at Liexiling.
I saw him calmly walking towards the foot of the mountain to the north. Lie Zhuang and Yuan Wen had already stood in the middle of the valley: "Brother, now only the Nanli Fire Foxes who are trapped in the formation are left. I am the one to take action."
, or do you do it yourself?”
Lie Xiling looked at Lie Zhuang, but seeing that Lie Zhuang remained silent, he raised a torch and lit it, handed it to Lie Xiling, and lit another one.
"Ten years." He said lightly, tears suddenly left in the corners of his eyes, and the torch drew an arc and left his hand. Lie Xiling thought for a moment, then suddenly threw the torch in his hand towards the other side.
The fire burned for a full two hours, and it was early morning. At this time, half of the vegetation in the basin had been burned to dryness, and in some places where early wood was thick, thick smoke was rising.
At the same time, the Five Elements Stones in Lie Xiling's package suddenly became scorching hot. He put his hand inside and saw the light gradually flashing on the five-color stones.
When the burning sensation subsided, a blood groove appeared on it. Several particles danced on the blood groove, and finally stopped at 300 points. Except for the blood groove, the entire square stone returned to being as warm and moist as jade.
At the entrance of the basin, on a hidden foothill. After a long time, the pale young man pursed his dry lips and stared at the dimming firelight, absentmindedly. Finally, he cursed dryly: "What the fuck!"
Damn it!"
The young man next to him also looked pale, and after a long time he asked: "Senior brother, do you still want to chase me?"
"Chase!" The young man thought for a while before speaking the word with difficulty.
--------
The hatred accumulated for ten years was finally paid off, and this clue was no longer retained. Next, I will spend a lot of time shaping the characters of the protagonist and supporting characters, which is an extremely difficult job.
As Brother Zhan Mou (Zhan Er) said, a good novel is naturally about story construction on the one hand, and characterization on the other hand.
By bringing the characters to life, this story is 40% alive. So don’t feel bored. Please continue.
At each stage, the psychology will be different. This is an obvious growth stage in everyone's life, although some people's personalities are born.
In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. This is generally the case in life, but not always.
The protagonist in Buyi's novels will not be identified initially until the time is right. You will think, "Oh, he has experienced so many things, and his personality is not an exaggeration."
Therefore, those who say that the character is not obvious enough should not be impatient. A good novel takes you into a scene, rather than dragging you into a situation and trapping you in it.
Not much to say, the results are terrible, gentlemen, your assistance is not good enough, I want to vote, click, and collect. The new book period is about to pass halfway, I am anxious...
