Chapter 816 Revealing One's Own Flame
Li Ming had heard the name Qin Suying not long ago, from Qin Baijiang, and even earlier, before he transmigrated. Qin Suying was the master of the seventh sword of the Seven Swords of Taixu.
However, at this moment, Li Ming simply carried Qin Suying on his back. This time, he not only agreed to Qin Baijiang's request, but also to his wife's.
I was just here to do a task, but I've inexplicably ended up with several favors owed to me.
The swaying azure flames undoubtedly informed the survivors and the wandering assassins of their location.
"Uncle-Master, isn't this too dangerous for us?"
Su Mei found it strange. Her martial uncle had been unusually cautious before, and after entering the island, he had been extremely careful... well, it didn't seem like he was that careful.
Upon entering the island, they began indiscriminately cutting down trees, seemingly unconcerned that the noise might attract the demons. When the assassins appeared, my uncle merely tested his skills before refraining from further action, ostensibly observing the situation, but in reality, he was assessing the surroundings. Even this act of starting a fire...
Su Mei realized that her caution seemed to be just her own perception; her martial uncle hadn't actually shown any signs of it, after all, he had been observing her the whole time.
"Well, it's mainly because it seems a bit different from what I expected."
Li Ming had initially thought that there would be many people on this island, since Qin Baijiang's tone at the time made him believe that Qin Baijiang's entrustment of his children was only because it was not safe here and he needed to take his wife and daughter with him. Now it seems that the island has definitely been completely lost.
It was entirely that dragon's private territory, and all those who survived were either the dragon's retinue or people who were about to be corrupted by Honkai energy and become undead.
Almost everyone who couldn't withstand such a high concentration of Honkai energy turned to ashes, so there might not be many left on the entire Li Island now.
Perhaps when Qin Baijiang left, Li Island still maintained its most basic ecology, was still able to trade, and had a basic market and living environment, only it was rather harsh.
Bi Yan completely burned down all the surrounding houses, whether they were thatched houses or mud houses. After they were burned down, a golden and precious light appeared on the exposed ground.
This made Li Ming take another look. When the wind blew, it revealed its true form. It turned out that those were all gold and silver treasures. He had originally thought that Qin Suying was a young lady from a prominent family on Li Island, but now it seemed that they were all Qin Baijiang's acquisitions over the years.
This also explains why no one coveted Qin Suying's gold hairpin, which she wore so openly. Everyone was starving and thirsty, so what would they need gold for? Gold can't be eaten anyway.
"Um, Mother..."
The blazing blue flames stirred up waves of air, but Li Ming didn't feel anything. However, Qin Suying, who was on Li Ming's back, was very uncomfortable, her little face burning red from the fire.
"Uncle-Master, something has arrived."
Since Li Ming intends to use this as bait to lure the wandering assassins and Honkai beasts on the island, Su Mei will naturally pay more attention.
Cheng Ling Shuang was even faster. As soon as the assassin in the forest poked its head out, the plasma spear in her hand flew out and pierced through the tree trunk.
However, unlike Cheng Ling Shuang's prediction of killing the assassin directly, this assassin looked more like a small dragon.
It even had a long tail on its back, making this assassin look more like a monster than a human. It held a sharp spear engraved with light patterns in its hand, looking extremely fierce.
"This is......"
Cheng Ling Shuang was somewhat surprised, but that was not enough. Now Cheng Ling Shuang could be said to be familiar with the weapon [Plasma Lance].
Even though the assassin in front of him looked somewhat peculiar, he was still no match for Cheng Ling Shuang.
"Uncle-Master, there are other things."
Seeing that Cheng Ling Shuang had made the first move, Su Mei naturally didn't retaliate. However, it was clear that there were more than just these assassins on Li Island. Li Ming simply glanced at Su Mei. "Can you handle this?"
"no problem."
Su Mei had no problem with it, after all, she had encountered many such things with her master.
"Okay, those are yours. If they're not resolved in half an hour, I'll just give them a big one."
"Yes!"
Li Ming remained seated in the spectator section, but this time, with the cover of the firelight, the vision of all the assassins was illuminated.
Half an hour is only seven minutes. To be honest, if Su Mei and Cheng Ling Shuang can really defeat these assassins, Li Ming feels there's no need to do any more archaeology. Let's just kill that dragon first.
What gathered behind them were not only suicide soldiers, but also Honkai Beasts.
However, this was an easy task for Cheng Ling Shuang and Su Mei. Li Ming, on the other hand, found a tree, stood at the highest point, and looked down.
Further ahead was a hill, around which a wide river meandered. Because some Honkai Beasts had climbed up from the river, Li Ming took a second look at the riverbed.
Those Honkai Beasts all resembled eagles, with fish bodies and bird wings, two wings growing from their backs, and fierce teeth and fangs.
However, Su Mei was difficult to deal with before because she was at sea, but now that she is standing on the shore, she can take them down one by one without much trouble.
Li Ming placed the blushing Qin Suying on a tree and hung her high up. Except for large Honkai Beasts and special types of zombies, no one would usually notice Qin Suying's location.
However, seeing Qin Suying's appearance, Li Ming reached out and touched her forehead. Her burning forehead made Li Ming frown, as if she had a fever.
Perhaps it's because they haven't eaten for too long, which has led to a decrease in their body's resistance. However, what's more dangerous is that if this is the case, their resistance to Honkai energy may also decrease.
Li Ming glanced at the little guy a couple more times, switched to [Ice Yama - Other Shore], and gently stroked Qin Suying's forehead. Her symptoms seemed to have improved considerably.
However, it seems like we can't wait even half an hour.
After all, it's unclear whether there are any medications available on this island that can alleviate the symptoms.
Li Ming landed on the riverbank. This wide and deep river could not possibly only support these Yingyu fish, since these creatures were merely their relatives. Moreover, in that case, the collapse energy of the dragon would not affect the river surface.
Floating above the river, with the waves beneath my feet, a chill constantly emanating from me, it felt rather awkward without [Scattered].
With a flick of his wrist, a black scythe appeared in his hand. He cleaved it in two as the blade entered the water, as if splitting the entire river in two.
As the blade entered the water, the chill penetrated deep into the riverbed, freezing the entire riverbed solid.
Furthermore, Li Ming did not stop his actions; the ice layer gradually spread, even affecting Su Mei, who was engaged in battle.
A fleeting moment in the underworld
The cold air immediately suppressed the flames.
