Chapter 445: All Things Are Straw Dogs (27)
One could feel Lin Feng's body stiffen.
Si Cen buried his face in "Lin Feng's" chest, entwined his arms and legs even more tightly, and raised the corners of his lips quietly.
Didn't expect that, hehehe.
After all, the protective barrier on his body was opened by "Lin Feng" himself, so even if they both had protective barriers on their bodies, logically nothing would be able to break through the barrier and touch them, and the same went for other people's touch.
But this protective barrier, which comes from the same person and origin, cannot protect oneself.
That's why Si Cen can rely on "Lin Feng" without any hindrance.
Just like a drowning person will cling to the person who saves him regardless of everything - this is "Lin Feng's" guess about Si Cen's reaction.
He thought that the little guy might have suffered psychological trauma from the incident that just happened.
I couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity in my heart.
After all, he was the child I raised, and I really couldn't bear to see him suffer.
So in the second half of the journey, "Lin Feng" really did not "tear" Si Cen down. Instead, he took him to the front of the team.
There is no other way. There is a high possibility that a giant python is waiting on the shore on the other side. Among all the people present, only "Lin Feng" can take the lead to minimize the casualties.
It was very dark underwater, and in order to avoid alerting the enemy and causing trouble, it was impossible to cast magic to illuminate the water.
Therefore, the only one who could see clearly all the movements of "Lin Feng" from beginning to end was Jiang Huaizhen.
When Jiang Huaizhen saw Si Cen being almost completely held in Lin Feng's arms and walking to the front, he no longer knew what he was feeling.
He didn't even know what exactly happened to Si Cen.
Those who were originally behind the eldest brother didn't know why he left suddenly, but when they saw him coming back, they were shocked but automatically made reasonable assumptions about his behavior.
It turned out that something happened to Si Cen.
What could happen to him?
It might have something to do with his strange poisoning.
After all, wasn’t his appearance changed because he was poisoned in the cave?
The restrictions in that cave are so strong, the poison inside is probably not a simple thing. Perhaps Si Cen's departure induced some changes in the poison.
In short, there was no need for Lin Feng to explain, and they wouldn't ask any more questions.
But Bai Xiaoxiao’s mood was the same as Jiang Huaizhen’s.
For the last section of the waterway, people actually no longer had to immerse their entire bodies in the water, because they had already entered the cave area and they could expose their heads from the surface of the underground river.
There is air in the cave.
However, in order to avoid being discovered by the giant python, everyone agreed with Lin Feng's plan and did not show their heads.
It was not until they dived to the area closest to the cave exit that they collectively surfaced at the signal of "Lin Feng".
Even though "Lin Feng" was accompanied by someone, it did not affect his speed and reaction ability at all.
So the moment he emerged from the river, he summoned the magic sword in his hand, and with one swipe he slashed away the giant python that was waiting on the shore for them to fall into its trap.
"Hurry up."
"Lin Feng" he shouted in a low voice. Fortunately, his fellow disciples behind him and even the two cultivators from other sects did not let him down.
It was also thanks to the fact that during the time they were in the cave, they were not only studying restrictions and practicing, but they were also constantly practicing coordination.
So as soon as "Lin Feng" finished speaking, the monks who flew up had already completed the formation and surrounded the giant python.
The giant python was already extremely jealous when it saw these enemies who dared to break into its territory and steal its precious flowers, not to mention that they even dared to try to attack it without knowing the consequences. It was immediately furious and rolled on the ground. Every swing of its tail revealed a terrifying force that shook the earth and mountains.
After all, the monks were all low-level. They knew the gap between them and the giant python from the beginning and were very receptive to advice.
The formation that "Lin Feng" and they practiced was not meant to kill the giant python, but only to hold it back.
"Walk."
"Lin Feng" judged that the formation was successfully completed and could temporarily trap the giant python, so he made a prompt decision and issued another command.
In fact, his calculations were very accurate and if everyone listened to his instructions, they could all escape from the cave successfully.
However, there are some people who are overconfident and greedy, and they always lose their brains at critical moments.
That person is Xu Chuan.
A loophole appeared in the position that Xu Chuan was responsible for. The formation that should have been able to trap the giant python for a few minutes, enough time for everyone to escape the cave smoothly, was actually cracked by the giant python.
"Oh no! The formation is about to break, run!"
"Ahhh what's going on? I was clearly trapped just now and it shouldn't have been broken so quickly!"
"It's Xu Chuan! Xu Chuan, are you sick? You are holding back at this moment. What on earth are you thinking about?!"
Some people were shocked and angry, while others took a look at the formation that was breaking apart bit by bit and discovered its weak point.
Xu Chuan was not justified but still confident, "I didn't hold back, I just did what I agreed to do. There's nothing wrong with my low cultivation level and spiritual power not being stronger than yours!"
He was holding back because he had to save more spiritual power so that he could escape faster. Otherwise, if he fell behind and the time the formation trapped the giant python was inconsistent with what Lin Feng had deduced, and he ran out early, wouldn’t he be dead?
He did not admit that the problem with the formation was caused by him. Instead, he felt that the facts proved that the formation taught by Lin Feng was indeed useless. The time he said was inaccurate, and the giant python was about to come out!
Xu Chuan shouted and ran faster.
The monks of Yunlu Mountain were so angry that they felt humiliated.
How come someone like Xu Chuan appeared in their Yunlu Mountain?
They were so embarrassed in front of Jiang Huaizhen, the person they despised the most, as well as disciples from other sects, and Si Cen, an outsider.
"Xu Chuan, you wait for me, I will report to your master and the elders after I go back, and I will expel you from the mountain gate!"
"What right do you have to slander me? I want to report to my master that you are in collusion with each other. Not only do you disobey the orders of the master, but you also exclude and isolate the children of the master's beloved daughter every day, and you also tell lies to frame your fellow disciples!"
"Fuck you...how can you be so shameless!"
"you……"
"Shut up!"
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore.
Is now the time to quarrel?
Obviously not. As she shouted, the formation shattered and the giant python's huge and powerful tail swung over with a roar.
The eldest brother is still behind to cover the retreat.
The most infuriating thing is that he has a burden in his arms!
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the snake's tail that was smashing down towards Lin Feng like a mountain, and shouted, "Big Brother!"
She wanted to rush back regardless of the consequences, but was held back by her fellow brothers and sisters.
"Junior Sister Xiaoxiao, hurry up and leave!"
"Xiaoxiao, go quickly."
Without saying anything, the two of them dragged Bai Xiaoxiao towards the cave entrance.
Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't break free if she didn't want to hurt them.
They didn't ignore the life or death of the eldest brother.
But as the eldest senior brother said when making the plan, if the formation went wrong and the giant python could not be trapped, he would stay behind to cover the retreat and let everyone run first.
He said that he still had a life-saving magic weapon given to him by his master, which could help him escape with his life.
The disciples never doubted the strength of Immortal Master Xuanxiao.
This is not the time to act foolishly. If they rush back and die, it will be in vain. Not only will it waste the efforts of the senior brother, but it will also force him to take care of them, making him a burden. It will be a disaster for the senior brother.
At least there are still people who can tell the difference clearly.
