After a long while, the Snake Spirit turned to look at me. He shivered and asked, "Zhou … Zhou Yi, what should we do?
This thing doesn't look easy to deal with … "
I didn't need him to tell me that this thing wasn't easy to deal with.
I stared at the spirit for a while then said to the Snake Spirit, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's observe the situation first."
At first, I had some confidence in the current situation. However, after the appearance of this strange carriage, it was hard to say what would happen.
Not to mention anything else, the Yin spirit on the carriage was obviously sentient!
If the appearance of this carriage made the other spirits have intelligence, or if they organized to attack us, the result would be unimaginable.
However, the appearance of the carriage wasn't all bad. At the very least, the spirits around quieted down and didn't attack. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the time to observe the carriage.
I lifted my head and saw that the carriage was moving very slowly. It looked like it was only four or five hundred meters away from us, but after a long time, it had only moved dozens of meters.
At this speed, it would take a few more minutes to reach us.
I wanted to use this time to recover my True Essence and come up with a plan.
However, right at this moment, a shadow floated forward from the mist in the distance. I focused and saw that it was a similar war chariot!
It followed the carriage from before in a straight line, maintaining the same speed as it slowly moved forward.
The Spirit Snake also noticed the situation. It turned its huge head around and exchanged glances with me. There was fear in its eyes.
With this fellow's personality, if I wasn't standing on his back, he would have run away already.
I was also considering this problem.
Although the war chariot that had suddenly appeared was strange, it was moving very slowly. If we turned around and ran, we would have a chance to escape.
However, the problem was that the direction of the war chariot was in was the only way to the east. If we turned around and ran, we would be farther and farther away from the fatty and Tong Tong.
Before I could make up my mind, the Snake Spirit's trembling voice came again.
"How … How could there be more?!"
The Spirit Snake was a timid fellow, but sometimes, when people were extremely timid, they would throw caution to the wind. When the Spirit Snake saw the third war chariot emerge from the gray mist in the distance, he went crazy. His eyes turned red and he shouted, wanting to fight against the war chariot. I quickly pulled him back.
Although I had called out to him, I wasn't going to turn around and run for my life. Tong Tong and the fatty were still in front of me. No matter what, I couldn't abandon them and run away by myself.
The reason why I stopped the Spirit Snake was because I had made a new discovery.
The three carriages moved slowly in a straight line. The ghosts along the way were split into two groups by the long whip of the ghost driving the carriages.
The ones closest to us were still quiet and didn't move. They seemed to be waiting for orders.
As for the spirits on the other side, they seemed to have received orders. After being separated, they left and floated towards the east.
And to the east, was where Tong Tong and Fatty were at this moment!
In just a blink of an eye, I recognized that the soul in the war chariot was intelligent!
They had divided the army of ghosts into two groups. It was clear that they wanted to surround us.
After understanding this, my heart sank to the bottom. This was basically the worst case scenario that I had anticipated.
The only thought in my mind was that I had made a decision.
I didn't know how many more war chariots were behind us. At this moment, not all of them had appeared. Moreover, the army of ghosts was still in a quiet state. It was the best time for us to break the siege!
Of course, I wasn't going to break the siege. I was going to break the siege and head toward Tong Tong and the fatty!
I had made up my mind. First of all, I couldn't give up on the fatty. Secondly, even if I gave up on him and took the Spirit Snake to run away, I wasn't familiar with this place. I couldn't tell if I could avoid the army of ghosts and find the exit.
Thus, the best choice now was to meet up with the fatty and the others. Then, the four of us would join forces to deal with the ghosts and the war chariots that had suddenly appeared.
After making up my mind, I looked to the east. According to our speed, the fatty and Tong Tong were less than ten kilometers away from us. It wasn't impossible to run away from them.
I quietly rubbed the Spirit Snake's neck and whispered to him, "We should take advantage of the time when they haven't caught up to us. What do you think?"
Although the Spirit Snake was scared to the point that he was about to go crazy, he pulled himself together after hearing that I wanted to run away. He nodded and said, "I think so too. We shouldn't delay any longer. Let's go!"
He agreed so quickly that he didn't react even when I told him that we should go near the war chariots. He just urged me to move faster.
At this moment, the True Essence in my body had recovered a lot. I took a deep breath and covered my legs with True Essence. Then, I said to the Spirit Snake, "I'm going to count to three. Let's go there together.
As long as we can get past the war chariots, we can move forward quickly and meet up with the fatty and the others. It shouldn't be a problem. "
The Spirit Snake nodded and took a deep breath. His body swelled up and hissed. He was ready to run away.
I licked my lips and counted to three.
As soon as I said that, the Spirit Snake, which had been waiting for a long time, shot out like lightning and carried me on its back, heading towards the East.
There was an ancient saying that the dragon followed the clouds, while the tiger followed the wind.
After the Spirit Snake had transformed into a Flood Dragon, it had comprehended some divine powers. At this moment, its body was covered in clouds and mist. Its speed was much faster than when I was flying.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived next to the war chariot that had appeared first.
Because of the distance and the mist in the air, we couldn't see the appearance of the spirit driving the chariot.
Now that we were in front of it, I lifted my head and saw it clearly.
The spirit in the war chariot looked similar to the Ghost General in the ghost army. It was just that its body was taller and it was wrapped in black armor. There was a faint green light in its eyes.
Our sudden attack was out of the Ghost General's expectation. He reacted only when we were close to him. He wielded the long whip in his hand, aiming at us.
From a distance, the long whip looked very thin. However, when we got closer, we found that it was as thick as a bowl. When it was swung, the air crackled.
Compared to the Ghost General and the long whip in his hand, my body was small. I bent my body and dodged the whip easily. However, the Spirit Snake's body was huge, so it wasn't easy to dodge it.
After a loud explosion, the whip lashed at the spot where I had dodged. It hit the Spirit Snake's back.
This whip seemed to have a special restraining effect on ghosts. I could tell this from the way the Ghost General had chased the other ghosts away.
The Spirit Snake's body was solid, but after getting hit by the whip, a part of its body shattered. It turned into a mass of gray mist and vanished into the air.
At the same time, the Spirit Snake screamed. It was in extreme pain.
I turned to look. After his roar, a large number of ghosts in front of him vanished, leaving a large empty space.
Looking at the Spirit Snake's painful face, I felt distressed and scared. I didn't know what would have happened if I hadn't dodged the whip.
As for the carriage in front of them, after Gui Jiang lashed out with his whip, he sat there coldly without any expression. He retracted his whip and lashed out at the Serpent Spirit again.
His movements didn't look fast, and I could see the trajectory of the whip in the air clearly. However, it was extremely fast. I hadn't reacted yet, and the whip had already traveled halfway to the Spirit Snake's body.
I was anxious. I held the Armor Stripping Sword in my hand and used the Emotionless Sword Path to slash the whip.
At the same time I took action, the spirit snake lifted its head and roared at the whip and the Ghost General.
I felt strange. The whip hadn't lashed yet, so why was the Spirit Snake roaring? What was the point of that?
Before I could figure it out, a scorching flame shot out from the snake spirit's mouth, heading toward the whip and the descending ghost …
Dragon Flame!
I opened my eyes wide.
