Bai Qingshan gave Liu Sanyi a sharp look.
“Head-on clash? We don’t have that kind of ability!”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
Bai Qingshan looked toward the distant Red Flame Snake and slowly said,
“Every magical beast has a weakness. The Red Flame Snake is no exception. Its skin is tough, and wherever its flames pass, not a blade of grass grows.
The saying goes: ‘Strike the snake’s seven inches.’ Its weak spot is just below its neck!”
“No way, Qingshan. That’s your solution? Everyone knows about hitting the snake’s seven inches!
The problem is, there are only a few of us here, and we’ll be burned to ashes before even getting close to the Red Flame Snake.
Even if we do manage to get near it, do you think we can break through its scaly armor?”
Liu San shrugged helplessly and continued,
“I think we should just retreat quickly. Don’t overestimate ourselves and go die for nothing. If we stay here any longer, forget about saving those people — we’ll all be finished!”
“Why the rush? Qingshan hasn’t finished yet. If he says there’s a way to try, then there must be a way!”
Qiu Wu still trusted Bai Qingshan a lot! Many times in dangerous moments, they relied on his knowledge and wisdom to survive!
“Qingshan, go on!” Qiu Wu looked at Bai Qingshan and asked.
“That’s right. We definitely can’t break the Red Flame Snake’s outer shell, but besides the seven inches, it has another weak point — its eyes.
If we can severely injure its eyes, maybe we can create a chance to rescue those three!”
Qiu Wu thought for a moment, then looked at Bai Qingshan worriedly:
“Qingshan, the Red Flame Snake’s strength rivals a human expert at the Purple Mansion realm. Are you sure we can break its defense?”
“The Red Flame Snake’s body and scales are tough, but its eyes are very fragile. We can try, but we only have one chance. Currently, it’s not targeting us.
If we fail this one chance, we must retreat immediately! The Red Flame Snake holds grudges — if it sets its sights on us, it’ll be like inviting disaster. We… will all be in danger!”
After Bai Qingshan finished speaking, he looked at Qiu Wu.
“Captain, do we still have those Xuan Iron arrows given by the corps leader?”
“Hm, there are still two left!”
The team members exchanged glances, then fixed their eyes on Qiu Wu.
“Captain, you decide. If you say we save them, then we save them!”
Bai Qingshan calmly looked at Qiu Wu.
“Captain, if we attempt to save them, there will definitely be some risk. You… think carefully!”
Qiu Wu thought for a while, then grit his teeth and gave the order:
“The Demon Extermination Army is the sacred guard of our Divine Martial Empire. And judging by those three’s armor, they’re definitely not ordinary members of the Demon Extermination Army! Their status and identity are exceptional. If we ignore them, the Divine Martial Empire will lose three of its military leaders at once!”
“But even if we risk it and try, we might still fail to save them. Maybe we’ll all die here!”
Bai Qingshan looked at Qiu Wu calmly and reminded him,
“If there’s a chance, then we try. Not to mention that we’re all Divine Martial compatriots, even passing Rangers would help if they saw this!”
Bai Qingshan said no more, but a flash of admiration passed in his eyes.
“Brothers, this action may be reckless, but my mind is made up. As captain, I should also be responsible for you. If anyone doesn’t want to come, you can leave now to avoid accidents!”
Qiu Wu stroked the long blade in his hand, his eyes growing more determined.
Bai Qingshan responded first:
“As a member of the team, I won’t abandon my comrades. I’ll go with the captain!”
Chen Yuan smiled at Qiu Wu to show her determination!
Liu San hesitated for a moment:
“Damn it, if I survive this, I can brag about it! I, Liu San, fought the Red Flame Snake and saved the Demon Extermination Army!”
“Haha… Liu San, you’re right. I’m also willing to go!” The last teammate, Li Qi, also made his choice!
Qiu Wu looked at his teammates, all smiling, and felt a warm surge inside.
“Alright, that’s decided!”
After speaking, Qiu Wu threw the large saber in his hand to Liu San, then took down a package from his back. Opening it, inside were two dark arrows!
“Xiao Yuan, hand me the bow!”
Chen Yuan passed him a hard wooden longbow.
“Let’s go. They should be nearby!”
“Yes, Captain!”
…
At this moment! Yuwen Tong and Han Liang were dodging the Red Flame Snake around the forest, repeatedly using the terrain to narrowly escape!
Now they were hiding behind a large rock.
“Damn it, this beast just won’t stop!”
Han Liang was panting heavily, but he was very anxious. He glanced at the fainted young general leaning against the rock. If this dragged on too long, the general might not hold on!
“I’ll go lure the beast away. You take the general and meet up with the army!”
Yuwen Tong was carrying someone on his back. After running this far, his strength was nearly exhausted, his face pale and bloodless!
“If anyone’s going to do it, it should be me. I don’t want the general waking up and not seeing you!”
“You’re still talking nonsense. Your stamina and strength are better than mine. It’s easier for you to carry the general out of the forest. Once you reach the forest edge, quickly lead the Demon Extermination Army back to Qingfeng City to find Marquis Hou to save the general. Also, report the Wild Forest’s situation truthfully to Marquis Hou for his decision!”
Yuwen Tong took a deep breath and looked at Han Liang:
“Han Liang, I’m just a warrior. Compared to me, you’re both civil and martial, and can help the general more in the future. We don’t know how many wars the Demon Extermination Army will have. Losing one warrior isn’t a big deal, but losing an outstanding deputy general like you would be a loss for Divine Martial.”
“Besides, the general was injured saving me, so for both reason and sentiment, I should be the one to go!”
Yuwen Tong grinned suddenly and said:
“To be honest, sometimes I really hate you, but I can’t deny you… really have some skill.”
“General, I’m counting on you!”
With that, Yuwen Tong stood up and ran out directly!
“Yuwen Mangfu, you…”
Han Liang hurriedly got up and tried to stop him, but his figure was already gone!
“You bastard, come back alive!”
Meanwhile, Qiu Wu and the others were weaving through the thicket searching for the Red Flame Snake. The team moved cautiously!
“Stop!”
“Listen, there’s a sound over there!”
The huge Red Flame Snake was roaming in the forest, hunting prey!
At this moment, a voice attracted its attention!
“You stinky bug, Grandpa’s here! Come chase your grandpa!”
The Red Flame Snake followed the voice and when it saw the figure, it suddenly let out a deafening, shrill roar!
“Damn, you really have a terrible voice!”
Yuwen Tong lured its hatred onto himself and sprinted!
“Haha, beast, come chase your Grandpa Yuwen!”
The Red Flame Snake chased closely, faster than before!
Yuwen Tong ran wildly in the opposite direction from Han Liang!
He exerted the little spiritual power left in his body, speeding past countless trees and thick branches!
