I'm also desperate.
Chapter 374 Different Hearts
Before, when Fang Yue went to Manshui Village.
It was clear he had just arrived, but the Lan adult of Manshui Village seemed to know his identity, as if he had communicated with the Han adult.
Previously, Fang Yue didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Now, thinking about it carefully, Fang Yue suspected that these two actually had some kind of special communication method, and the speed of information transmission was much faster than conventional means!
Hearing Fang Yue's question, the Han adult looked at Fang Yue in surprise.
"How did you know? I do have a way to contact Lan, but he can't leave Manshui Village. Even if he knows the crisis on our side, he can't provide assistance."
"No! He can't move, so he can't help us alleviate the pressure, but if we can attract some of the Crow Rain Clan's strange creatures into the village, he will have room to maneuver. We don't need him to lure away too many, just involve a part, and it will greatly relieve the pressure here."
Han adult frowned: "...This is like pushing him into a fire pit."
"Han adult, we can hardly protect ourselves, are we still concerned about moral bottom lines? Besides, we are just telling him the situation. Whether he is willing to help or not is all voluntary. If he really refuses to help, we can't do anything about it."
Not to mention that Fang Yue can't beat the Lan adult; even if he could, it would be unrealistic to travel such a long distance to fight.
So what they can do is actually just talk.
"Okay, let me ask."
Han adult raised his hand and drew a few symbols that Fang Yue found somewhat familiar, and soon condensed a letter made of frost out of thin air.
"Han adult… were you drawing ancient script just now?"
"Oh? You recognize it?"
Han adult said with a slight surprise.
"Yes, I saw it in the Desolate Strange Ruins, but I don't know ancient script. I don't know what those characters mean."
"It's too early to learn ancient script. At least wait until your strength has improved before you can withstand the power of ancient script."
The power of ancient script?
Fang Yue was thoughtful. Han adult didn't bother him, and after writing some words on the frost letter with his hand as a pen, the frost letter shattered with a bang, and the fragments fell all over the ground.
"Okay, we just need to wait for his message now."
Han adult's expression was a little more tired than before, as if this way of transmitting information required a lot of strength.
This made Fang Yue a little worried.
Han adult is the pillar of Guyue Village. If he can't exert his due strength when he really encounters the Crow Rain Clan because of excessive consumption of strength, then it's all over.
Fortunately, after Han adult closed his eyes and rested for a while, his complexion recovered a lot.
Seeing that no message had returned yet, Fang Yue couldn't help but continue practicing the Ningtai (Solidified State) Ring under the guidance of Han adult.
Under such terrible pressure from the Crow Rain Clan, Fang Yue burst out with two hundred percent of his effort.
Originally, Fang Yue was only able to solidify and fix one-tenth of the blade, but in hard practice, he advanced a few more steps and mastered three-tenths of the blade.
At this moment, Han adult received a reply.
Han adult suddenly seemed to sense something, and then used the same method as before, but with different ancient characters, and after drawing for a while, a sealed frost reply appeared in front of the two.
Han adult picked it up and looked at it immediately, but his face quickly darkened.
Fang Yue's heart skipped a beat and asked, "What does it say?"
"...They in Manshui Village are willing to help, attracting some of the Crow Rain Clan's strange creatures into Manshui Village, to be dealt with by Lan. And… they in Manshui Village can already see the Crow Rain Clan's dark clouds hanging high in the sky, like sesame-sized black spots."
What?!
Fang Yue's pupils shrank, and his face changed drastically.
It was certainly good that the Lan adult of Manshui Village was willing to help.
But, but…
"How can it be so fast? The Crow Rain Clan's dark clouds are almost at Manshui Village??"
"No, it will still take a while for the distance to pass through Manshui Village. The letter said that the dark clouds are very high in the sky, so they can be seen from afar in Manshui Village. Also… there are heads hanging in the dark clouds.
Like our humans drying cured meat for the New Year, hanging a string of heads, hanging long.
It is said that one of the heads… is the head of Luo Shenyi (Doctor Luo), and the head of Lin Duoduo, the captain of the guard team of Luoye Village (Falling Leaf Village)…
In short, these hanging heads are likely to be people from your escort team who had contact during the escort process.
Ma Ling'er, or rather, the Crow Rain Clan's princess, is gradually and step-by-step sweeping away and severing the entanglements of cause and effect!"
Luo Shenyi, and Lin Duoduo…
Just hearing these messages, the anger in Fang Yue's heart surged up.
"Ma Ling'er, that beast!"
Fang Yue clenched his fists, his face slightly twisted.
"It was never human to begin with." After a pause, Han adult continued: "Ma Ling'er's move is actually beneficial and harmful to us. The benefit is that it can greatly delay the arrival time of the Crow Rain Clan. The disadvantage is… Ma Ling'er's notoriety will make people in other villages afraid to provoke them."
The news is temporarily only known to Fang Yue and Han adult. Thinking that Lin Ling and Hua Wuye don't know that their family members are very likely to have encountered misfortune, Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness for them.
"If the Crow Rain Clan comes along the route of the escort team, then in addition to passing through Luoye Village, they will also pass through Chaoyue Village (Surpassing Village), Manshui Village, and other villages. If we can gather this force together, we might be able to further weaken the Crow Rain Clan's strength!"
Fang Yue expressed his thoughts, but Han adult rejected them.
"Not all villages are willing to cooperate, and not everyone has the strength to fight against the strange. Most villages, most people, will choose to abandon their villages and flee after encountering the strange. Our Guyue Village has no choice, we are bound by Ma Ling'er's trial, otherwise I would also like to take the people of Guyue Village away."
Obviously, the Crow Rain Clan's difficulty made Han adult also feel upset.
And to have the assistance of the Lan adult is already a pleasant surprise.
The affairs of one's own village are still only taken to heart by the people of one's own village.
Next, Fang Yue discussed with Han adult how to deal with the Crow Rain Clan while practicing the Ningtai Ring.
Under heavy pressure, Fang Yue's progress advanced by leaps and bounds, and when he left Han adult's closed-door training chamber, he was already able to solidify half of the flame blade.
After leaving Han Mansion, Fang Yue first informed Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu (Light Ink Paper Kite Dance), and then went to interrogate Ma the Blacksmith.
Fang Yue did not mention the imminent invasion of the Crow Rain Clan, but asked sideways about information about the Crow Rain Clan, especially information related to weaknesses.
As a result, there were quite a few gains.
When Fang Yue returned to his residence and began to cultivate his internal strength mental method, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu suddenly knocked on the door and entered.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"Ye-ge (Brother Ye), I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I feel like we should still run away!"
