Chapter 79: Fleeing
“Don’t hold back.” Lin Jianguo emphasized to me again as if he was worried.
Or maybe it was the hateful gaze of the gray-eyed people that made my heart palpitate even more, so I impulsively released the power of the hand movements in my hands. The already spectacular fire dragon suddenly let out two muffled sounds similar to the wind fanning the flames, and suddenly it burst and grew a lot again.
The gray-eyed people who were originally in front were already running away. Only a few gray-eyed people were injured by the spreading fire and were struggling, squealing and screaming. But now the fire suddenly spread, almost drowning all the gray-eyed people and engulfing them in the fire.
In addition, the dense forest provided the most favorable conditions for the fire-starting technique. Even if I had stopped the technique, the fire would have spread anyway. As for how it would be extinguished, that was not something I could worry about.
In such a fire, the gray-eyed people had no chance of escape. Coupled with the dense forest engulfed by the fire, my heart was suddenly filled with a feeling of guilt and shock. I had never thought that the magic could be so powerful to a certain extent, and I had never thought that it would be so cruel under deliberate use.
“Those who are not of my kind must have a different heart! Chengyi, you don’t have to feel guilty, because almost all the beings here treat people as food, or food has the respect it deserves, but here it is not, it is crueler than you can imagine… As for this place, it is not destroyed by this trivial fire, this is a place created by heaven, so you can rest assured.” As if he had read my thoughts, Lin Jianguo suddenly comforted me, as if he had a lot of experience.
Could it be that there were also cultivators who had come here before and done the same thing? So Lin Jianguo was able to guess this secret?
Of course, these are all irrelevant details. I believe that this place is created by nature. Otherwise, how could the power of the magic arts be more than doubled here?
At this time, another cultivator had also finished his spell. What was very clever was that he used the art of summoning the wind. Under the unique conditions here, as soon as he finished his spell, a gust of wind swept towards the fire dragon I had previously summoned… The wind fanned the flames, and the entire area along the coast was engulfed in a raging inferno.
Indeed, one cannot underestimate anyone. This cultivator is meticulous in his actions and knows how to coordinate with my fire-starting technique. The power of his spell is not low, and the gusts of wind have not stopped so far. It seems that he is not a simple being.
Looking at the current situation, my heart is slightly relieved. Is this situation enough to scare away these strange gray-eyed people?
The other cultivators were still performing their magic, and I was actually secretly looking forward to seeing what kind of magic Ji Qing, who was always so proud, would perform. But when I turned around, I saw Lin Jianguo looking worried.
“What?” I couldn’t help but ask subconsciously, and I didn’t care about what Ji Qing would do.
“If it’s a small tribe, this level of magic will be enough to stop them. Even if the most powerful witch comes, it’s not a problem. But if it’s a large tribe, then…” Lin Jianguo’s face became even uglier.
“Then what?” I asked, and although it was against the wind in the dense forest, at this time, a faint smell of burning was faintly heard, presumably because several gray-eyed people had been burned to death. My heart was pounding… After all, this was the first time I had used magic.
“Then split up and run. You can’t beat them. Whether you live or die in the forest depends on fate! If you really are the one who can solve all this, you will always survive.” Lin Jianguo said in a low voice.
While he was talking, the second cultivator’s magic was also completed. Compared to the fire-starting and wind-calling magic, this cultivator might have limited abilities, and the magic he cast was also plain and unremarkable. He cast a magic similar to the “inviting gods” magic, which is to summon power and merge with oneself. It is not like the magic with strong Chinese characteristics, but more like the “shenduo” magic from Southeast Asia.
It will become powerful in the first instance, and its ability to withstand blows will also be strong. In other words, it is a kind of close-range defensive technique, of course, and it is incomparable to the power of the techniques once used by Lao Hui and Huigen.
However, it is not necessarily that he wants to use this mediocre magic. When I think about it, this person may be even more “cunning,” choosing the magic that is most beneficial to himself and that protects him from harm?
In this critical situation, he cast a useless spell, and I naturally couldn’t help but think more… But at this time, the sound of strange drums and an indescribable instrument resounded throughout the dense forest, accompanied by the even more noisy shouts of the gray-eyed people.
“It really came.” Lin Jianguo’s face suddenly turned pale. After entering Guidaowan, he took off his straw hat, so everyone who had almost finished the spell saw his expression.
I knew at once that it was the large tribe that Lin Jianguo had mentioned. Lin Jianguo had told me before that if we encountered this situation, it would be best to split up and run. I turned and asked Lin Jianguo subconsciously, “What are you going to do?”
Lin Jianguo shook his head and said, “They are the most unruly monsters in this place, but they wouldn’t dare to touch me! You guys should run away as soon as possible. Don’t struggle on this boat anymore. Do you know why this boat is so bloody red? It was once dyed red by the blood of the cultivators who fought with the various monsters here… As long as you encounter them, it will definitely be a bloody battle! But this time, we met these gray-eyed people, and there really wasn’t a need. They are the most annoying trash.”
From his tone, I could tell that Lin Jianguo hated these gray-eyed people almost to the point of loathing, but I didn’t have time to ask why. After Lin Jianguo finished talking about running in different directions, the two cultivators who had finished their spell jumped off the boat in a hurry. ran towards the shore as fast as he could, stumbling and falling. The other cultivator who had just been in the mouth of the huge water monster did the same thing. He rolled over and ran. At this time, he had just jumped into the water. Where was the look of being scared silly before?
Only Ji Qing did not know why, insisting on using his magic. Judging from the clouds gathering in the sky, he was trying to use thunder magic. However, thunder magic was not very helpful in this situation unless it was used on a large scale, and it was not a one-on-one fight.
I subconsciously wanted to run, but seeing Ji Qing’s determined face, I felt a little sorry for him.
Over there, another group of gray-eyed people rushed out. Naturally, they were surrounded by the fire spreading along the shore, and they were swept up by the fire in the same way as moths flying into a flame. But I discovered that this group of people were like ants crossing a river. They didn’t care about ‘sacrifice’ at all. One one by one, they threw themselves into the fire to create a path for the gray-eyed people to follow… And it did work. At least a few stone weapons have already been thrown at the boat we are on, making the boat ‘thump’ and ‘thump’.
“It really doesn’t follow the rules.” Lin Jianguo was a little annoyed, and he was as annoyed as the water monster, which once again emitted a bellowing howl that made me dizzy, as if to warn the gray-eyed people not to go too far and not to provoke them.
“Go, don’t use your magic anymore.” I shouted at Ji Qing, although I was also annoyed with myself, but if I didn’t remind him at this time, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I didn’t help him.
But Ji Qing simply ignored me and continued to stand still. If I interrupted him forcibly, he would be bitten back. Although he was in a state of meditation, he could make a basic judgment and stop the spell by relying on his senses of the surroundings.
“You should leave quickly. You’ve done your best.” Lin Jianguo valued me very much. Seeing me hesitate there, he couldn’t help but kick me, urging me to leave quickly.
“If the god values the cultivator so much, why does he just let the cultivator be killed?” I had no choice but to turn and run towards the ship’s railing, but I had been thinking about this question for a long time and couldn’t help but ask it out loud.
“In this place, not all monsters fear the gods, understand? This kind of petty matter of occasionally robbing food is not enough to make them turn their backs on us.” Lin Jianguo’s voice came from behind me, always making people feel a little sad and sad. Food, we are just food.
At this moment, my hands had already climbed onto the ship’s railing, and I was about to jump off the ship.
But then a strange sound came from the forest, similar to the sound of a witch casting a spell, but not exactly the same. However, the rhythm implied in the sound was even stronger than when a witch cast a spell.
“Oh no! Chengyi, run in the other direction, don’t run towards the forest, escape and then go ashore.” Lin Jianguo suddenly shouted at me.
I was about to jump off the boat, but when I heard Lin Jianguo’s shout, I forced myself to stabilize my body, but I almost fell into the water.
At the same time, Ji Qing’s thunder spell was finally completed. The sky was dark with clouds, and the rain that should have been light rain in the real world had become pouring rain here. A lightning bolt flashed, and the first thunderclap was about to form!
“Don’t!” Lin Jianguo only had time to shout this.
I happened to run from the other side of the ship to the water…
