Chapter 354 Return
In the following days, Xue Huang spoke less and less. Apart from hurrying on her way, she practiced qigong and regulated her breathing.
Before reaching the Chishui River, her skills had already recovered to their peak.
For her now, Shangyang City is her way home, but it is also a battlefield.
On this day, the team stopped to rest and Xue Huang finally received information about the Shanhe Sect.
Mo Yunchen took a note from the carrier pigeon, opened it, took a look at it, and then handed it to Xue Huang.
The above content is that Mo Ruilin and his team have arrived at the Chishui River, and know their whereabouts, and are waiting for them to meet up.
The Chishui River is the only chance to stop Mo Ruilin from returning to the city, but it is also very risky to kill the prince there.
Xue Huang was still worried about Mo Ruilin's situation. As a border army, the defenders of Muhua City were not allowed to enter Shangyang City without permission, let alone station on the banks of the Chishui River. They must have turned back by now.
The remaining people alone would not be able to cope with the unexpected events.
Xue Huang immediately decided that she would go over and meet up now.
"I'll go first."
Mo Yunchen did not object, but directly said: "Together."
Xue Huang was a little surprised.
"What?" Mo Yunchen looked at her expression and chuckled, "You thought I would stop you?"
"I thought you would at least negotiate terms."
"Let's go."
So the two of them rode their horses and rushed to the Chishui River first.
They rode at full speed all the way and finally arrived near where Murilin and his men were stationed the next night.
But from a distance, Xue Huang had already noticed that there were flames rising into the sky ahead, screams, sounds of fighting, and even the roars of wild beasts.
She immediately quickened her pace and saw that the riverbank where they were stationed was filled with smoke and she couldn't tell which side was fighting.
As for the roar of the beast, it was because jackals, tigers and leopards were constantly pouring out of the dense forest.
Xue Huang smelled a strong smell of blood. She leaped up and cast a palm of black ice spell. The white mist condensed into water drops when it got cold and fell down.
The scene in front of me gradually became clear. I saw that the beasts were like crazy, biting anyone they saw, as if they were hunting.
Broken arms and limbs were scattered all over the ground, covered with blood.
The entire team suffered heavy losses, and only a few people from the Shanhe Gate were protecting Mo Ruilin, but they were all seriously injured.
The wild beasts kept pouncing on them, and they were barely able to hold them off by setting the tent on fire.
Seeing this, the Snow Phoenix's body became extremely cold, and the frost spread at an extremely fast speed, freezing the beast that pounced on it in an instant.
Then, she landed in front of Mo Ruilin and the others, and with one palm she repelled the tiger that tried to attack again.
At this moment, dozens of vultures suddenly swooped down from the sky, and the wind brought by their flapping wings almost extinguished the flames.
Mo Yunchen's cold aura had arrived at this time, and together with Xue Huang, he forced back his attack.
Xue Huang hurriedly checked the injuries of the remaining people, and saw that Zhuo Yang's left arm was empty, his face was pale, and he was just trying hard to keep from falling down.
Mo Ruilin was also covered in blood, with scratches on his back and shoulders so deep that the bones were visible.
Yun Qing and Cuinong were also seriously injured and were already at the end of their strength. Haitang fell to the ground and was unconscious. The conditions of the others were not much better.
"Sorry, I am late."
"Be careful." Murilan clenched the sword in his hand, "The enemy is still in the dark. These beasts are controlled by people."
Xue Huang was still finding it strange. How could so many ferocious beasts attack people at the same time? Moreover, they were not afraid of fire and rushed up desperately.
"I've never heard of anyone who can control so many beasts. Who is he?"
"Have you ever heard of the name of the beastmaster Lu Chengjia? The beast taming method originated from the Western Regions and was used to tame birds and beasts for one's own use. But it is said that Lu Chengjia is gifted and can communicate with birds and beasts by nature. He is known as the king of beasts in the world."
Xue Huang glanced at Mo Yunchen and said, "Don't you know that Shen Congfeng has such a person under his command?"
Mo Yunchen looked at Mo Ruilin meaningfully, and then replied: "The highest level assassins of Phantom are always top secret."
Xue Huang looked at the surrounding terrain, "Although his ability is strange, he doesn't have the advantage of terrain. There aren't that many beasts here. I'm afraid that all he can control is right in front of him."
"Not necessarily." Mo Yunchen looked coldly towards the dark area of the jungle. In the distance, he could still hear the low roars of wild beasts.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge white tiger jumped out.
It was different from the tigers that attacked them before. Just standing there, it was as tall as an adult, and its limbs looked as thick as human thighs.
Even the aura of this tiger is different from that of other animals. Its eyes are blue, cold and sharp, and there is murderous intent in its steps, as if it is born to be the king of beasts.
Xue Huang was extremely surprised. What did this thing eat to grow so big?
The white tiger circled around, staring at them eagerly.
The vultures circled in the sky again, waiting for their chance to strike.
Mo Ruilin asked people to burn everything that could be burned. The scorching fire did hinder the small beasts, but the white tiger was not afraid.
Mo Yunchen drew out his two swords and walked forward, "I'll deal with it, I'll leave the air to you."
Xue Huang nodded and looked at Mo Ruilin and the others, "Stay by the fire and protect yourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, she directly used the third level of the Mysterious Ice Curse, and the icy blades in the sky were like circling green dragons.
Except for the fourth level of her Profound Ice Curse, which required a huge amount of internal energy, the first three levels actually had no distinction between levels. She had already mastered it, so when she cast it, ice and snow grew long ago, and three feet of ice was frozen, with blades flying all over the sky.
This cold air can restrain the opponent. Ordinary opponents cannot get close at all. And when combined with the dragon-like ice blade, it can kill opponents in a large range.
And she also merged the Seven Killing Sword Qi with it, which was simply terrifyingly abnormal.
The birds in the sky were quickly shot down by her. They fell to the ground one after another and turned into ice sculptures in an instant when they were touched by the cold air.
Mo Ruilin and the others even had to carefully protect the campfire because the Snow Phoenix's cold air was too strong and almost extinguished the fire.
On the other side, Mo Yunchen dealt with the white tiger alone. With his agile body, he blinded one of its eyes.
However, the white tiger was very strong and he was unable to withstand a slap from it.
Upon seeing this, Xue Huang struck out with one palm, freezing it firmly.
The remaining beasts were not to be feared and were soon dealt with by them.
The main reason was that the coldness of the two of them was so strong that these ferocious beasts were no match for them at all.
Xue Huang looked into the darkness, "It seems that you didn't expect us to show up before you came here? If you have any other skills, why not use them all?"
In the darkness, there was no sound or movement, as if no one had ever existed.
The next moment, Xue Huang suddenly made a move, using light skills, and flew straight into the darkness of the jungle as fast as a wild goose.
The icy energy of the Mysterious Ice Curse also spread, and all that could be heard in the jungle was the sound of branches being crushed.
The Snow Phoenix attacked, and snow fell all over the sky. A cry of pain was heard from the forest. Then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
Xue Huang immediately stepped back, and saw a few more wild boars jumping out of the forest.
She swung her sword and the wild boar was immediately scared away.
Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. It looked like the beastmaster really had no other beasts he could control, so he could only use wild boars.
She pulled a wild boar she had killed back to the campfire and threw it at Mo Yunchen's feet.
Then go and heal the injuries of Mo Ruilin and others.
