Chapter 88: Cemetery Spiral
Mo Xinke and Sasou were suddenly startled by a strange noise behind them, turned around, and were stunned. There were about eight or nine giant beasts forming a team, rushing towards them, with Han Jin and Xian Ni'er standing on the back of the first giant beast, looking down at them.
"What is this?" Mo Xinkai exclaimed.
"Let's talk about it again." Han Jin controlled the giant turtle to stop there.
Moxinke, Sasou, and Qili all climbed onto the giant turtle's back. With Han Jin's gesture, the giant turtle slowly stood up and started running forward with big strides.
Mo Xinkē narrowed his eyes and looked back, all the villagers squeezed onto the turtle's back, it was unclear whether it was out of gratitude or excessive excitement, a faint sobbing sound came from afar.
Qīlí curiously approached Hán Jìn's side and touched the somewhat rough **: "What kind of magical beast is this?"
(Note: It's a typo, because it needs to be colloquialized, one word is omitted, and the person who daydreams is punished by standing outside!)
"I don't know what that is either." Han Jin shook his head. The Four Sacred Beasts, that was a Daoist term, and he couldn't explain it to Qili.
"Raphael, I... hate you!" Moshenko gritted his teeth and said: "Why didn't you use this thing earlier?"
"I've already asked," Xanthe said with a smile.
"How is this guy explaining?"
"He said he had mastered too much magic. So for a moment, he couldn't think of it. Fortunately, Leizhe reminded him."
"How... how many spells can you cast?" Moshinkel shouted: "Now. Release them one by one, and then we'll tell you when to do what!"
"What a pity I've lost my magic now. Otherwise... do you believe it? I could turn someone into a statue. Who to experiment on..." Han Jin thought to himself.
Moxinke's face changed. He suddenly remembered that some additive and effective magic must first lock the spiritual power on a certain life, then release it. In other words, if he continued to force him, Han Jin would definitely take him as the target. Moxinke dryly laughed: "Haha... don't be too serious, we're just joking with you."
"I think you're absolutely right," Han Jin said with a smile.
Moxinke felt a bit nervous. He started looking around, finally fixing his gaze on Sasou. He was also making eye contact desperately. Sasou was both angry and amused. He said in a low voice: "Raphael, you released these few puppet beasts. Didn't you waste a lot of magic? I didn't expect... your heart to be so soft."
"It has nothing to do with me." Han Jin pointed at Xian Ni'er, and he still felt heartache for the energy that had been consumed: "If she hadn't cried and made a fuss..."
"What did you say?" Xian Ni'er said with a scolding tone.
Han Jin smiled, before they also had a good tacit understanding. But Xian Ni'er's face had an extra mask, always with a sense of estrangement. Now that Xian Ni'er has revealed her true appearance, that sense of estrangement has gradually disappeared. In the past, generally no one would dare to make fun of Xian Ni'er.
"Indeed, you are a kind spirit..." Mosuke praised.
"Raphael, have you exhausted your demonic powers? Can you still fight?" Sasori asked.
"No problem..." Han Jin's smile suddenly froze on his face, he sensed that a group of densely packed vampires had burst into the mirror and were now chasing in their direction.
"Heaven and earth are mixed up, the nine palaces shine with illusions. Open!" Han Jin started his incantation, letting out a low shout.
In the distance, the nine small mirrors suddenly emitted dazzling light. Beams of light shot into the vast starry sky, and the group of flying vampires suddenly felt a flash before their eyes. Then the entire world became another scene, with stars twinkling everywhere above, below, left, and right. The formation of the vampires immediately became chaotic, and they didn't know where to fly.
When pilots or migratory birds fly over the ocean at night, they fear encountering this situation the most. The former will result in the destruction of the aircraft and loss of life, while the latter will cause them to crash into the sea in large groups. They or their senses have become severely disoriented, a phenomenon known as graveyard spiral, which can be imagined to be terrifying when one's sense of direction is reversed.
For that group of vampires, since mastering the flying skills, they had never encountered such a thing. The formation changed from disorder to chaos, and finally completely chaotic, even constantly colliding with each other. Those with poor physical strength were almost knocked down like a stone, but struggled to flap their wings again, only to be knocked down once more. Even the vampire leader was confused.
There are some vampires locked onto a star, flying forward with all their might. Locking onto a reference point is a good idea, but the positions of those phantom stars are constantly changing. As a result, the vampires are all turning in big circles, some going up and down, others left and right, each thinking they're correct, shrieking at their companions to follow them, resulting in more chaos.
Xian Ni'er found Han Jin's expression was somewhat off and hastily asked: "What's wrong?"
"Those vampires are catching up." Han Jin let out a long sigh.
Mo Xinkē, Sāsī ōu and others suddenly turned around and looked back together.
"What's this? Now they're all trapped by my magic circle."
"Trapped?" Sasori exclaimed in surprise and delight. "How long can you keep them trapped?"
"It's hard to say, depends on luck." Han Jin said with a bitter smile: "If we're lucky, we can trap them until dawn. If not, they'll catch up to us right away." His energy was limited and the materials he could use were of poor quality, so the Nine Palaces Illusory Light Array he set up couldn't exert its due power. The vampires occasionally fell to the ground, and as long as one of them happened to shatter any of the mirrors, the entire array would collapse immediately. Even if the mirrors remained intact, the vampires could still walk out of the array's range if they closed their eyes and walked forward continuously. The problem was, when would they calm down?
"What's the point of luck?" Sasori asked, perplexed. In his understanding of magic, you could either do something or you couldn't - what use was luck?
"Let's talk later." Han Jin turned his head to look at Lei Zhe: "Lei Zhe, you lead the way, the farther we are from the main road, the safer we'll be!"
"Me... can I control it?" Lei Zhe said in surprise.
"Just tell me where to go."
Han Jin was the least willing to gamble with luck, there was an uncontrollable feeling, but this time. He actually won the bet. He ran until the giant turtle's spiritual power disappeared, and then he made eight or nine more giant turtles, and finally ran for a whole night, and the vampires never caught up.
Faintly visible in the distance was a village, and the giant turtle's spiritual energy had once again been depleted. Han Jin jumped down from the giant turtle's back, and the entire team also stopped behind him. He simply didn't have the energy to make any more talismans for an entire night. Mo Xinkuo and the others were still able to eat and sleep soundly. Only he and Lei Zhe couldn't.
Leizhe only needed to point out which direction to go, but he had to divide his attention to firmly control the nine giant turtles, and was now exhausted.
These two batches of Xuanwu Qiseng Zhou. Successively consumed nearly 10,000 yuan of his energy, and his total energy was only a little over 100 Jia. Suddenly consuming nearly one percent of his energy... it's unbearable to say that he wasn't heartbroken... but seeing everyone's emotions and those villagers' emotions also gained some small consolation.
Xian Ni Er, Sa Si Ou and others jumped down to the ground, but Mo Xin Ke was still sleeping soundly on top. Sleeping were also Xi Er Na and those mercenaries. Han Jin felt a bit angry, as it was too unfair. He waved his hand. The giant turtle suddenly disappeared. Mo Xin Ke and others fell from mid-air to the ground, making the ground thud loudly.
But Moxinke's physique was beyond words. He was so strong that he jumped up from the ground and roared: "What's going on? Vampires are here?!"
"It's okay, the Puppet Beast's effect suddenly disappeared." Han Jin smiled and said.
"Yes, it was quite sudden." Xanthe sighed lightly.
Xier Na couldn't hear anything unusual, she only knew that something was off. Mo Xinkai looked at Han Jin with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, then looked at Xian Ni'er: "How... how come the puppet beast behind us hasn't disappeared, but we're the ones who have disappeared?"
"I'm not clear either."
"...". The man, Mo Xin Ke, opened his mouth to speak, but the situation was stronger than him. He could only mutter something and sat down on the ground with a thud. To be honest, he was still very sleepy.
"Sasseur, you go ahead to the town and ask around, where we are." Han Jin said.
"Hmm." Sasuke nodded.
"I'll go too." Lei Zhe stood up.
"Your wound..."
"It's still okay to walk." Lei Zhe smiled and said. He really had no face to mix and drink, he just wanted to do his best to do something.
"Then you go together, be careful." Han Jin said in a low voice.
"It was you who saved us all." Xanier slowly said as she watched Sasou and Reze's backs disappear into the distance.
"I'm also doing it to save myself." Han Jin smiled.
"A few months ago, you managed to escape from the siege of hundreds of knights in Holy Crown City with ease. There must be some special magic at play? I'm quite skeptical... Can those vampires really harm you?"
"Am I going to escape alone?" Han Jin paused: "But my wealth is still here, am I supposed to abandon everything?"
"Wealth? You mean..."
"For example, Stillberg, for example, Mo Xinkuo, Sasou. Han Jin revealed a sly smile: "And you, Qiuli."
Xian Ni'er was both angry and amused. If Han Jin was being serious, who would compare people to private wealth? If Han Jin was joking, but he really didn't abandon everyone.
"Friendship is priceless!" Xian Ni'er gave Han Jin a white eye.
"Of course, so I will never give up no matter what."
"You..." Xanier looked at Han Jin's profile, half a year ago, Han Jin still seemed very ordinary, a seer without predictive abilities. Now, Han Jin set up magic arrays to trap those vampires and released puppet beasts to lead everyone to escape. It can be said that if it weren't for Han Jin, their consequences would be unthinkable. In a short period of time, he transformed from an ordinary person to a mid-stream pillar in the team, his growth rate was astonishing.
