Chapter 509: Diverting Trouble to Others
A few days later, Angel and Qili had traveled tens of thousands of miles. The direction of the Sword of Meirui finally shifted a little, but it was still very small. From the angle of the shift plus the distance traveled, substituting a few data, it can be simply calculated that they should have just traveled half the distance. It will take some time to reach the final destination.
In the past few days, they have been attacked continuously, not to mention the monsters; there are five waves of wizard apprentices who came to snatch the Sword of Meirui. Only the first wave had ordinary apprentices. The other waves were led by elite apprentices. However, even if they were elite apprentices, they were still far behind them in terms of combat power.
Especially after Angel cast the Nightmare Illusion, basically no one could resist it.
In the past, Angel had to find an opportunity to release the illusion, but now with Qili burning with the nether fire in front, he only needed to use the illusion in an orderly manner to lay the foundation for the final victory.
This feeling of cooperation made Angel understand why many exploration adventures are rarely done alone, and most of them are done in teams. Cooperating with each other, complementing each other, and improving combat power are completely geometric.
But teaming up is not always good.
Angel unconsciously probed his mental power into the bracelet. In a corner of the bracelet, a small purple flower was quietly placed there. In the stamen, Frode was curled up and hugged his legs, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just look at Frode and you will know that no one can guarantee that all team members are good. Even if they have signed a contract, even if they have known each other for a long time, even if they are brothers from the same school, there will always be some interests that will cause the team to collapse, or even turn against each other.
Qi Li and him have no conflict of interest for the time being, but they can form a team. Who knows what will happen after the conflict in the future.
Although Angel enjoys this feeling of cooperation, he actually prefers to go alone. Unless there is an extremely reliable teammate, for Angel, the most reliable teammate at present is probably... Toby.
Angel moved his eyes away from the purple flower and fell on Toby, who was lying in the middle of a pile of soul beads.
Since leaving the Black Castle, although Toby has been unconscious, Angel can feel that Toby's blood is getting stronger day by day, and the vigor of his blood has increased by many times compared to before. Not only has the strength of his blood changed, but Toby's appearance has also changed a lot. His body has grown a whole circle. He used to be a small bird, but now he is as big as a young eagle.
The feathers on his body are also slowly changing color, from the previous grayish white to gradually approaching the rosy red.
If Toby is put in front of old friends such as Sarum now, it is estimated that no one will recognize him.
And these changes have all appeared in a short period of time, and even the size has increased. The feathers have changed color in the past two days. According to Angel's inference, Toby should be close to the end of the first metamorphosis. When the metamorphosis is completed, Toby will wake up.
So, in the past two days, Angel was not fighting, while rushing on the road, while paying attention to Toby's changes.
Just when Angel's mind was wandering, the black cat Luna suddenly meowed a few times.
Upon hearing Luna's call, both Angel and Qili's faces immediately became serious.
He and Qili had to speed up their journey, so they gave the gray scale they got from Ixu to Luna, and Luna was responsible for monitoring the scale situation within a hundred miles at all times.
Luna was very human, and Angel even felt that Luna was much higher than Qili in terms of emotional intelligence. Therefore, Luna would judge for herself what the scale she sensed was like, whether it was a mermaid or a snatcher.
Once it started to call, it basically meant that there was a situation.
Qili took the scale and quickly communicated with Luna. Angel watched from the side. Every time he saw a person speaking human language and a cat speaking cat language, and the communication was particularly in-depth, Angel felt funny. Could they really understand each other's words?
While Angel felt funny, he didn't think that when he communicated with Toby, it was basically the same situation.
After a while, Qili raised her head and said to Angel: "Someone is approaching us, but Luna speculated that it may not be for robbing."
"If it's not for robbing, then what is it for?" Angel was confused.
Qili spit out four words expressionlessly: "Divert the trouble to others."
Angel took the scale and felt it slightly, and then found the trick. A few dozen miles away, a scale was approaching their position quickly, but at the same time, ten miles behind this scale, there was another sword of Meirui chasing this scale.
Luna called a few more times.
Qili: "Luna said that no matter how we change directions along the way, the target of that scale is still us. It can be seen that the other party has locked our position, and it is estimated that he wants to transfer the hatred of the sword of Meirui behind him to us. Of course, it is also possible that it is not diverting the trouble to others, but setting a trap, but the probability is very small."
Angel threw the heart scale to Luna again, and Luna bit her mouth and swallowed it into her stomach.
Qili looked at Angel: "What do you say now, fight?"
In fact, there is also an option of not fighting, for example, the sword of Meirui should not have scales on it, so it cannot detect their positions. They only need Angel's soul to leave his body, speed up, and run out of the scales' detection range to avoid this battle.
But Angel saw clearly that although Qili was asking him a question, her expression with hidden anger had already told Angel that she already had the answer in her heart.
Angel shrugged helplessly: "Okay."
Qili's lips curved into a bloodthirsty smile, and her whole body was filled with fighting spirit.
They continued walking toward the southeast unhurriedly, and Luna called out from time to time to report the other party's location.
A few minutes later, without Luna taking the initiative to report her location, they had already seen the dim firelight in the distance, and this firelight was rapidly approaching them.
"Here we come." After Qi Li finished speaking, she raised her portable oil lamp with fighting intent, and a stream of dark white cold fire had already appeared.
Luna jumped behind Angel and bit his hem. In the past two days, they encountered continuous encounters. Qili stood at the forefront and frantically attacked instead of defending. Luna used to dig a sand pit to hide in order to avoid harming Chiyu. Now it understands that it is actually the safest to stay by Angel's side, not to mention that Angel is only using illusions from behind and is not at the forefront of the battle. Angel's own compassion for the body alone cannot be tolerated. Injure yourself.
Angel seemed to be standing lazily behind Qili, but he had already begun to prepare a complete set of defense methods. In the dark sea current, there were even more illusion nodes.
As the flames came, and Qili burst into laughter, she rushed forward, with flames surrounding her body blocking all the opponent's routes.
At the same time, the other party also saw Qili's figure, with a look of fear in his eyes, and he actually encountered another tough fight!
"Die!" The flames around Qili continued to burn as she rushed towards the opponent.
Seeing that she was about to die in the fire, her expression was full of despair.
At this moment of life and death, she suddenly felt the water flow behind her, and then her body was suddenly pulled to the other side. There was a flash of gold stars in front of her eyes, and she appeared behind Qili.
"Angel? What are you doing?" Qili suddenly turned her head to look at Angel. Although she didn't see the situation clearly, the only one who could save people at this time was Angel!
"Angel? Is it Angelpat?" There was a surprise in her eyes, and she turned to look at her person. Although the bottom of the sea was dark and the firelight was dim, she could clearly see Angel's face: "It's really little brother Angel?! That's great!"
Seeing the name the visitor addressed Angel, and the fact that Angel took the initiative to save people, Qili also reacted: "Do you know her?"
With a look of surprise on his face, Angel pushed away the little girl who kept trying to wrap her arms around him: "Shan, don't you go and see the big guy?"
Shan originally wanted to seize the opportunity to get close to Angel, but as soon as she heard Angel's words, she immediately remembered the big man Ganke sitting next to her when she was attacked by Qili.
She looked back and saw that Gan Ke's whole body was burning with flames and half of his body was frozen.
"No, Ganke!" Shan rushed over.
Qili frowned slightly and waved her hand to remove the cold fire from Ganke's body. Then he landed next to Angel.
"Her name is Shan, she is also an apprentice in the Savage Cave, and she has a relationship with me." Angel explained.
"This is not enough to erase the fact that she caused trouble to the east." Qili said coldly.
"I understand." Angel sighed slightly. He and Shan were indeed not familiar with each other, but Shan and Nausicaa seemed to have a good relationship, and saving her was just a matter of effort.
"Don't you still want to stop her pursuers?" Qili asked Bu Yu.
Angel was also thinking about this issue. He saved Shan because of their relationship and for Nausicaa's sake, but helping her to fight off her pursuers was obviously beyond the limit of their relationship. .
At this moment, Shan swam over on Ganke, who was covered in scars. An anxious look appeared on her face, and she said with a little hesitation: "Angel, Nausicaa and Shiliu are in danger, can you save them?"
Shan naturally knew that this request was too much, but she had no one else to turn to for help at the moment, so she could only tentatively ask Angel for help.
However, Shan obviously underestimated the relationship between Nausicaa and Angel.
Originally, Angel was still thinking about how to send Shan away, but now that he heard the news, he couldn't care about anything else and immediately asked: "What happened to Nausicaa? Where is he now?"
"I don't know her location. I was separated from her when I was escaping. By the way, Shiliu knows! Shiliu left his blood on Nausicaa. When we entered the Purification Garden, it was Shiliu Xun. Find us with the smell of blood.”
Angel frowned: "Where is Shiliu?"
"Tulip Palace, when Shiliu sent me and Nausicaa away, we were trapped in the Tulip Palace by the two witches."
Qili stood aside, watching Angel still asking about the location of the Tulip Palace, with a subtle sneer on her lips. It seems that Angel is going to save that Nausicaa.
What a ridiculous kindness. Qili secretly thought, if Angel really wants to go, should she go with him? She was deeply unwilling, but when she thought of her instructor's instructions, she hesitated.
According to Angel's strength, it shouldn't be a problem just by himself, right?
When Angel asked about the location of the Yujin Palace, he still had doubts on his face. He still didn't know what happened to them: "Shan, what on earth is going on?"
"It's Jiebo! Jiebo was injured by Shiliu. He didn't know what means he used. He hired many people to stop us..."
Before Shan finished speaking, Qili's face suddenly turned extremely dark. He rushed to Shan and grabbed her collar:
"Who are you talking about?"
