Chapter 389 Zhao Da
Duan Heng fixed his eyes on the map. After carefully examining it, he turned his head and looked at Li Zhi, asking in a low voice, "How about it? In your opinion, is this map credible?"
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he replied slowly: "From the drawing and detailed annotation of this map, it doesn't look fake. However, I have an idea in my mind..."
"What idea?" Duan Heng's curiosity was instantly aroused, his face full of surprise, and he couldn't wait to ask.
Li Zhi slowly raised his head, straightened his back, looked at the three people with a sharp gaze, and slowly said, "Whether this map is true or false, let's ask these three to take us on a tour, and then we will know everything at a glance, right?"
Duan Heng was stunned at first, then he laughed with a cunning and proud laugh, and said: "Hehe, this is really a brilliant idea! If this map is fake, and they are malicious and want to plot against us, then by then, they themselves will be dragged into this mess and stuck in the quagmire, and they won't be able to escape either!"
He rubbed his hands together, looking eager to try, as if he had already seen the other party suffering the consequences of his own actions.
The leader of the three people, upon hearing the conversation between Li Zhi and Duan Heng, showed a helpless expression on his face. He smiled at them helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I say, it's not appropriate for you two to discuss this in front of us so blatantly and fearlessly, right? At least give us some face."
He spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
Duan Heng didn't give him any face at all. He squinted his eyes, looked at him with disdain, and said provocatively: "We said it in front of you, so what? Can you still fly away with wings?"
As Duan Heng's provocative words fell, Captain Yang took a step forward in tacit understanding.
The next moment, a hundred soldiers from the Qiongqi Camp stomped their feet on the ground in unison. The sound of their footsteps was as deafening as thunder. Then, they all roared in unison, resounding through the sky: "Tiger!"
The roar was so majestic that it seemed to be able to shake the sky. The rolling sound waves were like surging waves, rolling and echoing over this desolate desert.
The hot air was filled with tension and solemnity.
At the same time, Zhang Wenchu, Nangong Wen, Chen Hua, Jia Zhen and others also responded quickly, and each of them took a defensive stance as if facing a great enemy.
Their eyes were as sharp as eagles as they stared at the mysterious three people, their muscles tensed, ready to deal with any possible changes at any time.
Duan Heng took a step forward, with a hint of pride on his face, and said loudly: "With the six of us plus the Qiongqi Camp, I don't believe you can still turn the tables!"
The man's expression remained calm, like a bottomless lake, without any ripples.
He slowly scanned the area, taking in everyone's expressions and movements, and said calmly, "You six are quite strong, and the Qiongqi Camp is famous for its ferocity. Facing you, we naturally don't have the power to turn the tables..."
The man was speaking, but suddenly paused.
Li Zhi's eyebrows jumped for no reason, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He thought to himself that something was wrong, but before he could make any reaction.
The man continued, "But...if we want to leave, you can't stop us."
There was an unquestionable confidence in his voice.
Before he could finish his words, something strange happened.
The figures of the three of them gradually became illusory, like smoke blown away by the wind.
Seeing this, Li Zhi's face suddenly changed. The uneasiness in his heart instantly turned into fear. He shouted: "Where are you going! Stay here!"
As he was speaking, Li Zhi, Duan Heng and others reacted quickly and took action together.
A light burst out from under Li Zhi's feet, and a giant hand made of sand grabbed the three people.
Duan Heng was waving the nine-ring broadsword in his hand. The blade flashed and the iron rings on the back of the blade clanged.
Nangong Wen shook the silver spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear flashed with cold light, piercing straight at the illusory figure.
Zhang Wenchu swung the palm-leaf fan in his hand forward fiercely, and several wind blades attacked the three people directly.
Jia Zhen and Chen Hua also rushed towards them at the same time.
However, no matter the spells they cast or the weapons in their hands, all the attacks actually penetrated the bodies of the three people directly. They were completely useless and could not hurt them at all.
"Hehe... Help me tell Fengzi Cheng and Yan Huaiyang... Tell them that I, Zhao Da, have repaid their favor..."
The voice echoed in the air, with a hint of etherealness. But the figures of the three people disappeared completely like a dream bubble.
Li Zhi's face looked extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and waved it violently, and the five ghosts revealed themselves instantly.
These five little ghosts had hideous faces and exuded a strong evil aura, which created a strange chill in this scorching desert.
Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Let's see if those three are still around here!"
After receiving Li Zhi's order, the five ghosts immediately turned into a gust of cold wind, whistling and dispersing in all directions.
They were extremely fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhi and the others all looked very ugly. They never expected that someone could escape so easily from under their noses.
They thought they had a sure win, but they didn't expect the other party to have such a strange method.
Not long after, Li Zhi's five ghosts returned quietly.
With disappointment on their lively faces, they came to Li Zhi, spread their hands and shook their heads at him, indicating that they had not found the three people.
Li Zhi had a gloomy face, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger, and he took the five little ghosts back.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
Zhang Wenchu stepped forward and asked Li Zhi with concern, "What should we do now?"
Li Zhi looked down at the map in his hand, then he raised his head and said with a firm look: "No matter whether what that person said is true or not, we need to avoid the monster blocking the road. In this case, we must take a detour. Follow this map first, and everyone stay alert and be on guard at all times!"
…
In a sand dune far away from Li Zhi and his companions, the surroundings were so quiet that only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard.
Suddenly, a strange wave appeared in the sky above the sand dunes, and three figures slowly emerged.
At first, the three figures were vague and unclear. But as time went on, the illusory outlines gradually became clearer, and the figures turned from virtual to real.
When their bodies were completely solid, Zhao Da, who was in the lead, shook violently, as if he was hit hard by an invisible force.
He groaned, and then his face turned extremely pale. From the corner of his mouth, a trace of blood slowly flowed out, leaving a shocking blood mark on his pale face.
When Zhao Er and Zhao San saw this, their faces suddenly changed, their eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
They reached out their hands almost at the same time and firmly supported Zhao Da's shaky body.
Zhao Er asked anxiously: "Brother, how are you?"
Zhao San was standing aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep concern.
Zhao Da waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay..."
However, his weak voice and pale face made it hard to believe that he was really okay.
The worry in Zhao Er and Zhao San's eyes did not diminish at all. Others might not know it, but they knew it very well that performing the Phantom Demon Body Technique was a huge burden for the caster.
This spell not only consumes a large amount of Qi, but also causes serious backlash to the body.
Their eldest brother cast the spell twice in such a short time, and the last time covered such a long distance. Even their powerful eldest brother could not withstand it. He might have suffered a strong backlash from the spell at this moment.
Zhao Da pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to force a smile, but the smile looked particularly forced on his pale face. He said softly: "It really doesn't matter... The backlash of this spell is easier than owing favors to others."
There was a hint of relief in his voice, as if repaying a favor was more important to him than the physical pain.
