Chapter 207 Cry for Help
Recalling the fear of dying during that sneak attack, Ning Xiaoxi still felt a lingering dread. Her quick recovery didn't mean she wasn't in pain; her speed was due to her maxed-out skills. Otherwise, she might have truly been killed that time!
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years!
Jiuyu leaned against the small nest, his dark eyes watching intently as the figure was extinguished by Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue extinguished the shadows and, in a good mood, lay down on the grass again.
After Ning Xiaoxi finished her porridge and tidied up, she turned to look at the small valley, which was quiet and still, only becoming lively at night.
Thinking back to those little birds and insects from last night that I couldn't bring back into my cave, it's such a pity!
Let's use spatial positioning then. Draw a teleportation talisman, and whenever her cave can hold living things, she can take some time to come and collect some good stuff.
Looking at the map, we've already covered half of Yuzhou. It's mid-June now, and if we rely on walking, we won't have enough time. That makes things easier!
They set their sights on the west and began surveying the lands of the three western states of Great Xia.
Traversing mountains and ridges, moving against the wind, relying on the wind and the earth, and thanks to her spiritual energy, she is not afraid of being depleted, and travels thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
The terrain of Sili Province is complex, with abundant wild animals, making it unsuitable for agriculture. Therefore, although it is rich in resources, it is sparsely populated. Within Yu Province, one needs to avoid cities and inhabitants, but in Sili Province, the restrictions are much more relaxed.
Stepping into a flat grassland, the grass is lush and green, and the trees provide ample shade.
Deep in the grassland lies a large lake, where waterbirds roost and fly, wild horses drink at the lake, and cheetahs hide among the trees.
A hundred miles from the Great Lake, there is a county town called Yingcheng. Yingcheng is backed by Yingshan Mountain, which produces gold. The royal court set up a mining office here, but there is no Tianshi Pavilion stationed here.
Ning Xiaoxi entered the city, found a large inn on the street, washed up, and sat in the lobby to have lunch.
Unlike the north, the prefectural and county towns near the west have a predominance of noodles, with countless varieties of noodles and snacks.
The lobby is semi-open, where you can sit by the window and watch people come and go outside, or if you want some peace and quiet, you can sit in the inner hall.
Ning Xiaoxi enjoyed the lively scene in the city and sat by the window, ordering several signature dishes.
We're not far from Yanzhou now; just two more cities and we'll reach the border between the two provinces.
The lobby was already full of diners, including guests staying at the restaurant and passing merchants. There were also private rooms on the second floor, where elegantly dressed ladies and refined gentlemen came and went.
After looking around, they didn't find a single Taoist priest.
Ning Xiaoxi poured herself a cup of tea and sat peacefully in such an environment, truly feeling that there were no demons or monsters in this world!
Just then, the waiter brought over the dishes Ning Xiaoxi had ordered. Before Ning Xiaoxi could even look at them, the jade pendant at her waist vibrated so much that her hand trembled and she almost dropped her chopsticks.
As he took out the jade token, he activated his spiritual power, and a line of red text appeared: "Attacking Fuyun Mountain, a hundred miles west of Yingcheng, Earth Flying Star."
Looking at the signature, Ning Xiaoxi was stunned. The Earthly Fiends were attacked. What was going on?
He casually put the dishes on the table into his spatial storage, left the money for the food on the table, and then disappeared.
When the waiter came over with a tray, he saw only an empty table. If it weren't for the money, he would have wondered if a customer had just been there.
After leaving the city, the scales on her armor shimmered, and Ning Xiaoxi gradually faded away until she disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the foot of Fuyun Mountain.
Di Fei, along with his five subordinates, was surrounded and attacked by a force of over a hundred people, layer upon layer. Scattered corpses could be seen along the way from east to west. The only saving grace was that none of the corpses belonged to any Celestial Masters dressed as subordinates or guards.
Di Fei was in relatively good condition; at least there were no obvious injuries on his body. His five subordinates all had some injuries, one of whom had a serious knife wound to his chest and abdomen that almost cut him open.
It seems that these people chased and killed him until they flew to this place and surrounded him.
The people surrounding them were strange; though they appeared human, they were shrouded in a dense demonic aura, and their methods of attack differed from those of humans. Oddly enough, Di Fei and his subordinates did not use magic, but instead relied on martial arts to fight off the enemy.
Two members of the attacking force moved with lightning speed, their claws sharp as knives, frequently launching sneak attacks when the enemy was out of position, causing considerable disturbance. Several others would occasionally leap into the air and swoop down like eagles. The rest attacked in all sorts of bizarre forms, fighting for their lives without any regard for consequences.
Amidst the battlefield, spiritual energy occasionally surged between the Earth-bound warriors and their subordinates, but because they couldn't draw upon the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish it, their spells dissipated before they could fully take shape. One subordinate, protecting a severely wounded officer, suffered a deep, bone-revealing gash on his left arm, from which blood gushed forth.
Ning Xiaoxi didn't have time to observe any longer. She took a step forward and appeared next to Di Fei. She casually slapped six defensive talismans on the six people. "Ning Xiaoxi, Heavenly Secrets Official." After saying that, she touched the ground with both hands. A rumbling sound rang out, and earthen walls surged up all around, surrounding the group.
Di Fei was slender and had a cold expression. Looking at the earthen wall protecting them, he said, "We are under a binding spell and cannot gather spiritual power to activate our magic."
As they were speaking, some people jumped onto the earthen wall and began to attack downwards.
Ning Xiaoxi waved her hand, and the Spirit Crystal Heart transformed into a long whip, whipping up a fire dragon and lashing it out. It swept up and flung the fastest jumpers, and as the whip straightened, fireballs attached to it flew one after another toward the others.
Di Fei's sword missed its mark, and he was sent flying too fast.
Six enhanced purification talismans were affixed to the ground-flying group, the runes flashing and the fluorescent light flashing from top to bottom.
"My lord, I can use my spiritual power now," an official said excitedly.
A smile appeared on Di Fei's usually cold face. "Now that we can move, let's go out and kill!"
Ning Xiaoxi pulled the two injured men off with one hand each, saying, "You're already this badly injured, why are you still charging forward!"
Di Fei had already sheathed his sword, and slapped his two subordinates with one hand, saying, "A mere hundred corpses are nothing to worry about!" After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared, and the three subordinates beside him also rushed out in a cloud of smoke and fire.
Ning Xiaoxi had the wounded official lean against the earthen wall and tore open his clothes. The wounds didn't look like those from knives or spears, but rather like those from sharp claws. One wound was the deepest, running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, while three other shallower ones covered his entire chest. Black, putrid gas was emanating from the wounds, and the surrounding flesh had already begun to change color.
Wow, even in this state, he still wants to charge forward, that's really fierce!
Using her own skin as paper, she dipped it in the juice of the Spirit Gathering Grass and drew healing talismans. She only used the detoxification function and dared not cure the patient all at once, as she was currently at the eighth level of the intermediate stage and could not be too powerful.
Once the runes were drawn, black smoke began to rise from the visibly decaying and discolored flesh, dissipating in sync with the screams echoing outside.
