Arrows rained down one after another, hitting the protective light curtain, like raindrops hitting the lake, causing ripples but unable to break through the protection of the light curtain.
Seeing that there was no worries for the time being, the cavalrymen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Wen also calmed down, and then ordered Captain Li next to her: "Send a signal and ask for help!"
Captain Li had already prepared a cylindrical flare about a foot high. Hearing this, he pulled the trigger, and the runes on the bottom of the flare flickered. In an instant, a firework shot into the sky. He was about to fly out of the valley, but was blocked by a gray-black streak.
A curtain of light blocked the sky, and the fireworks were like a bird hitting a fine net, unable to escape. Finally, it exploded into a ball of blue smoke and dissipated into the night.
Seeing this scene, Wen Wen's face turned pale. It seemed that the other party had already prepared. He had set up a ban here in advance to prevent his side from sending a signal for help. He also set up a phantom formation in advance to hide all the ghost warriors who were ambushing here, allowing himself to
Relax your vigilance and step into the trap.
If this is the case, it seems that the information obtained three days ago was deliberately spread by the other party, in order to use the news that a living soul refining ceremony was held here to lure him into taking the bait.
Thinking of this, Wen Wen's face gradually turned pale, but she understood that the more critical the moment, the more calm she had to be, so she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and ordered: "Captain Li, the protective shield will not last long, I will be the vanguard, you
Come and hold on, let's rush out of the valley."
Seeing Master Wenxian's calm and composed demeanor, all the cavalrymen became more confident and said in unison: "Promise!"
Then the soldiers from behind changed to the front, and the villagers were also wrapped in a cloud of mist. Under the leadership of Wen Wen, they accelerated towards the entrance of the valley.
Behind him, the high priest of the Guifang tribe was still standing in the valley, not making any movements, but there seemed to be a mocking smile on the bronze mask.
Seeing that a group of people were about to rush to the entrance of the valley, a sudden change occurred. The originally dark and quiet scene at the entrance of the valley suddenly changed. It was like a piece of black cloth being torn apart with great force. Hundreds of beasts with green faces and fangs appeared out of thin air.
, blocking the valley entrance.
The first beast monster was more than ten feet tall, full of fangs, and had a black-red horn about a foot long on its head. However, it tore off the rough leather armor on its body, revealing its upper body covered with black hair.
The muscles on his body bulged one by one, as strong as a statue carved in stone.
The beast monster let out a deafening roar, jumped up, picked up the thick mace in his hand, and hit Wen Wen on the head.
Wen Wen tightened the reins and turned the horse's head, barely able to avoid it. The mace grazed the horse's body and hit the ground hard, creating a large crater with a radius of more than ten feet. The huge shock caused the horse to hoof up.
He went weak, let out a mournful roar, and fell to the ground.
Wen Wen didn't care to check the condition of the horses, she had already jumped into the air, pulled out the three-foot long sword on her back, the fairy sword came out of its sheath, the aura flashed, the white light on the sword bloomed, and it struck at the beast monster with a deep cold air.
Although compared with the mace in his hand, the fairy sword looked vulnerable, the unicorn demon did not dare to lift it up, and held the mace tightly in his hand to face the three-foot green sword.
There was a loud bang, like thunder exploding in the sky. With these two weapons as the center, a huge shock wave brought up strong winds and spread to all directions. The cavalrymen paused in their momentum and tightened their reins, while the beast monsters
He also involuntarily took a few steps back.
The man and the demon in the center were still in a stalemate. Seeing that the offensive was blocked, Wen Wen did not engage in any more entanglements with the opponent. She used her strength to jump back and returned to the cavalry team.
The unicorn demon shook his slightly numb wrist, thought twice, gave up the pursuit, and stood on the defensive at the mouth of the valley.
…
Wen Wen looked at the beast monster in front of her, turned to face the rear and said sternly: "I didn't expect that the Guifang clan would collude with the monster clan to harm the people of my human race and intercept and kill the Taoist monks. It seems that the war between your two clans is inevitable.
!”
The bronze mask remained unmoved and sneered a few times and said: "There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in this world, there are only eternal interests. Our clan and the demon clan are just getting what they need."
Then he smiled playfully: "As for provoking a war, the fairy is overly worried. The demon clan will only take the blame for this matter. Of course, they are not afraid of taking the blame. After all, the war between the Taoist sect and the demons has not stopped for more than ten thousand years.
Fairy, it’s better to just let it go. I’ve set up this dragnet. Fairy, don’t take any chances, and think more about these soldiers under your command.”
Wen Wen knew very well that what the other party said was true. The hope of our group to break through the encirclement was almost zero. It might be the best choice to surrender. After all, there is a chance to go back alive. Wen Wen took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
He came down and asked: "It's okay to be captured without mercy, but, High Priest, I am just a young monk in the Supreme Realm in the Taoist sect. My practice is low and I have no important status. Why do you spend so much time targeting me?"
"Kekeke, why do you ask the question knowingly? The moment you saw me having a private conversation with Mr. Yuan, you should have known the fate that followed."
Wen Wen's heart tightened when she heard this. She didn't want to believe it, and she didn't want to face the answer. She felt bitter in her heart and murmured: "Why don't you believe me? We have been Taoist lovers for ten years, sharing the same bed with different dreams. I am really pathetic."
Staring at the bronze mask, she asked with a wry smile: "You really put a lot of effort into it. Didn't you start laying out this trap a month ago when I first arrived in the Northern Mountains?"
"No, since the first time we met. Alas... Fairy Wen, don't be sad. I didn't expect Yuan Shouzuo to be so decisive. It's a shame, it's sad, it's sad." The bronze mask said with a hint of regret.
Wen Wen's face turned pale, and her heart ached even more. She shook her head gently, raised her eyes and looked straight to the south, and murmured: "I didn't expect you to be so cruel."
After hesitating for a moment, she looked at the long sword in her hand. This sword was called "Binghe" and it was one of the famous spiritual swords in Kaiyang Palace. The sword was filled with the soul of ten thousand years of ice, making it extremely cold.
Wen Wen seemed to have made up her mind, clenching the Ice River Immortal Sword in her hand, and her heart became as firm and cold as ten thousand years of ice. She said to the soldiers around her: "Captain Li, please surrender."
Captain Li was surprised when he heard this: "But, Fairy Wen..."
Wen Wen raised her hand and interrupted him: "They want to arrest me. As long as you surrender, there will be no fear for your life. As long as you are alive, you will have a chance to escape."
"What will you do, fairy?"
"I must try my best to deliver a message, a message that endangers the safety of the Taoist sect."
Captain Li looked at the dozen or so knights around him. Although everyone looked frightened, their expressions gradually became resolute under his resolute gaze. Captain Li nodded in approval, then clasped his fists and said loudly
: "Fairy Wen, please don't underestimate us. Although we are just mortals, as border guards of the Great Earthquake Dynasty, it is our responsibility to fight against demons and protect our home and country."
"It is better to live an ignoble life than to be wrapped in horse leather. Fairy, let us take the lead for you!"
After saying this, Captain Li did not wait for Wen Wen's objection, raised his halberd and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me to kill the enemy!"
