While I was thinking, Tong Tong stood up and looked at me with a face full of self-blame.
"Brother, I felt like I was about to succeed, but the jade bracelet suddenly resisted. Not only did it push the spirits back, but it also pushed my Qi out …"
Then, her eyes turned red. She looked at the endless number of spirits and said with grievance, "I'm sorry, brother. Tong Tong couldn't help you …"
This silly girl. I stopped thinking and rubbed her head. "It's okay. It's not your fault that the jade bracelet suddenly lost its effect. You don't need to blame yourself.
Besides, even if I don't use the jade bracelet, I have other ways. You don't need to worry too much. "
As soon as I said that, the Snake Spirit heard us and understood what had happened. It laughed and moved closer to comfort Tong Tong. "Don't be afraid. It's just a bunch of ghosts. Tong Tong, watch carefully. I'm going to bite them one at a time. Before dawn, I'm sure I'll swallow them all. Not a single one will be left!"
After hearing our comforting words, the self-blame on Tong Tong's face lessened a little. After a short rest, she continued to fight against the spirits.
Originally, Tong Tong had held back against these ghosts out of instinct. But now, because of self-reproach, she used her full strength. Streaks of lightning turned into lightning whips in her hands. She didn't even need to use the Quintessence in her body. She only needed to wave her hand in a circle to destroy a large number of ghosts.
At that moment, my heart was filled with anxiety. The Snake Spirit had said that she would swallow all the spirits before dawn tomorrow. But the problem was that when I entered this place, it was daytime …
This place was probably a sealed space. If we couldn't find the exit, it would be a dark night and there would never be daylight.
I was fine on my side as I could protect myself for the time being. But as time passed, I knew nothing about the fatty's situation. Although I was confident in him, he wasn't a Heavenly Master yet. How long could he last?
While I was pondering, a golden lightning bolt suddenly appeared in the eastern sky!
With a loud explosion, Tong Tong, the Snake Spirit, and I stopped moving. We lifted our heads to look to the east.
At this moment, thunder boomed, lighting up almost half the sky. Even the ghost army on the east side of our position was illuminated by the lightning.
Judging from the sound, the lightning was very far away from us. However, I could still sense the strong aura of Tian Fa in the air.
I immediately reacted. It was Fatty!
"It's Brother Fatty!" Tong Tong's voice sounded at the same time.
Although Fatty had absorbed the Heavenly Dao Seal in his body, with his current cultivation, he couldn't activate such a powerful tribulation lightning. However, I was still very sure that it was Fatty.
This is because the power of the tribulation thunder is short and fierce. It is obvious that it came from the talisman. A month ago, when we were at the Heavenly Grand Ritual, in order to resist the conspiracy of the Xuande Wonderland, Wang Can asked me to give an entire bag of talismans to Fatty. At that time, I had a simple look at it, and it just so happened that the Tribulation Thunder Talisman was in that bag of talismans!
During the Allheaven Tournament, no one had thought that Fatty's Nine Bends Yellow River Formation would be so powerful. He had only used a few defensive talismans to protect himself, and after activating the formation, he had won the battle. He hadn't used the extremely powerful Tribulation Thunder Talisman at that time, but had instead used it now.
After thinking about it, I could guess Fatty's actions.
After receiving my message, he had to face the endless ghost army. Firstly, he couldn't free himself, and secondly, he couldn't think of a way to create a commotion to contact me. That was why he had been silent for so long.
However, everything was fine now. As long as I could confirm Fatty's position, I wouldn't have to stay here and get beaten up. I just had to find Fatty and start looking for the exit. Sooner or later, I would be able to leave this place.
Now that there was a change in the situation, my mood was much better. I suddenly strode forward and brandished the Armor Removing Sword in my hand, sweeping away all the ghosts in the surroundings. Then, I said to Tong Tong and the Snake Spirit, "Let's fight while we move. We'll head east and meet up with Fatty first!
I'll take the front while the two of you cover our backs! "
Hearing my command, the Snake Spirit roared and the True Yuan in its body surged. The originally three-meter-long body of the Flood Dragon swayed in the wind and became a hundred meters long. It opened its mouth and instantly swallowed a large portion of the ghosts behind us.
Tong Tong wasn't to be outdone either. He brandished the Heavenly Lightning Chain in his hand, which turned into two streaks of lightning that charged towards the ghosts behind us. After they collided with the ghosts, they shuttled back and forth. When the lightning dissipated, there was an even larger area that had been cleared.
In terms of killing the ghosts, Tong Tong was much faster than the Snake Spirit.
With the two of them covering our backs, I didn't have anything to worry about. I brandished the Armor Removing Sword in my hand and cleared the area in front of me. Then, I brought the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong to head east. When the next wave of ghosts gathered, I brandished my sword again and killed them.
The Snake Spirit Pupil was behind me. I didn't need to kill as many ghosts as I wanted to protect my back and focus on defense.
While we were advancing, I heard some movements coming from the east. However, they weren't as big as the previous ones.
I could roughly guess that the fatty must have used some kind of talisman or something of the sort.
The Tribulation Lightning Talisman wasn't the strongest one in the big bag of talismans that Officer Wang had given to the fatty. However, when it was activated, it created the biggest commotion. That was why we had noticed it earlier.
With the fatty's intelligence, he knew that in such a situation, it was best to save talismans for the critical moment to save his life. However, he had used them continuously. I was afraid that the situation was extremely dangerous.
I gritted my teeth but didn't say anything. I silently increased my speed.
I didn't know how many times I had swung my sword. I felt that I had moved forward at least ten kilometers. However, there was still an endless number of ghosts in the east. There was no trace of the fatty.
Although I had been using the true dragon energy in the jade bracelet to nourish my body, I had consumed a lot of it.
Feeling helpless, I had to temporarily switch places with the Snake Spirit. I asked him to go to the front while I retreated to protect him with Tong Tong.
That way, the pressure on me was reduced a lot. With the true dragon energy's nourishment, my True Essence gradually recovered. As I was about to switch places with the Snake Spirit, I suddenly felt a vibration in Xiang Liu's leather pouch.
A Sound Transmitting Talisman!
I got it and hurried to take it out. I urged my True Essence to check. Sure enough, it was the fatty who had sent me a message!
"Third Baby, you should have sensed the commotion when I used the talisman, right?
Why haven't you come yet?
I'm almost there … "
I only sent half of the message, and I didn't even finish the last sentence. It was obvious that the fatty had tried hard to find a gap. Before he could finish writing, the ghosts had dragged him into the swamp one more time.
I was even more anxious now. I hurried to reply to the fatty's message and asked him to hold on for a while. I told him that I had found his location and would be there soon.
After sending the message, I put away the Sound Transmitting Talisman and rushed to the front of the team. I brought Tong Tong and the Snake Spirit to the fatty's location.
I made a rough estimation in my head. Just now, I had walked more than five kilometers, and from the fatty's previous Tribulation Lightning Talisman, he was at least ten kilometers away.
According to our current speed, it would take us at least one and a half hours to cover the next ten kilometers …
Would Fatty be able to hold on until then?
Tong Tong seemed to have felt my anxiety, so she controlled the Heavenly Lightning Chain to destroy the large wave of ghosts behind her. She asked me, "Brother, is the situation over there very dangerous?"
The emotions on my face were obvious, and I couldn't hide them. I nodded and said, "Yes."
Tong Tong obviously thought of an idea and immediately said, "Brother, how about this, I'm also a Yin Soul, so these Yin Souls won't attack me … I can hide among these Yin Souls all the way, and go over there to meet up with Brother Fatty first.
You can bring the little snake and slowly kill your way over. What do you think? "
After listening to her, my eyes brightened. I was so excited that I almost hugged her and kissed her.
It was obvious that I was too worried. When I was teaching the Snake Spirit a lesson, I knew that the ghosts didn't have any hostility towards the Snake Spirit and Tong Tong, but I didn't think of this method.
