Chapter 45: Sudden Attack in the Dark of Night (1)

  The night quietly arrived, the moon climbed up to the top of the trees, bringing people a rare tranquility.

  Li Yun, despite having the power of the law on her side, still needs to rely on something. Thinking of Chen Long's warm smile and his calm demeanor in handling things, her heart trembles slightly. Hopefully he'll return soon! And take all the living people out of this place.

  "What are you still standing there for? Come and help quickly!" Jiang Feng's loud voice rang out at the same time.

  Before Yin Rou and others could react, Li Yun had already rushed up, "What's wrong? Ah! What happened to Chen Long?"

  Chen Long lay on Jiang Feng's back, looking at Li Yun's concerned eyes. "It's okay, just treat the wound and then give me something to eat, I'll be fine." His mouth curled up slightly, revealing a reassuring smile.

  Yin Rou and Zhu Xiao Cui also rushed up, supporting Jiang Feng and Yuan Tian. Chen Long was also helped down to the ground by Li Yun.

  The three of them were in a terrible state. Chen Long's clothes were all tattered and worn out, the wound on his shoulder was charred from the fire, although it hadn't become infected, it was blackened, and there was still blood at the corner of his mouth. Jiang Feng's dark face was covered with a layer of mud, almost obscuring his small eyes, his hair was disheveled, and his knee was bleeding, clearly he had fallen several times on the way. Yuan Tian looked slightly better, but his eyes were swollen, without any energy, his expression was very tired, and his right hand was still dragging the hunting rifle on the ground.

  There's a saying that goes, "Men and women working together, never get tired." It seems to be quite reasonable. Chen Long and the others may have been strong against their enemies, but when it came to taking care of the wounded, Li Yun and the others were more experienced. Miss Zhu took charge of taking care of Jiang Feng, first letting him take a bath, applying medicine to his wounds, changing into new clothes, and then letting him rest. Yuan Tian wasn't injured, he took a bath, changed his clothes, and Yin Rou carefully made a pot of chicken soup, letting him drink several bowls.

  Li Yun was more troublesome, Chen Long's injury was very serious, so she could only blush and wipe his whole body of course, under the condition that Chen Long wore underwear. Then she applied medicine to the wounds on Chen Long's shoulder and hand, and then fed him the soup simmered by Yin Ruo one spoonful at a time.

  "What about Yuan Hua?"

  "Huh? I think he's probably dead!" Chen Long replied indifferently, seemingly not very concerned.

  Li Yun fell silent for a moment, "How did he die."

  "He might have been shot dead, but he might also survive." Chen Long said indifferently and closed his eyes.

  Li Yun didn't ask any more questions, watching Chen Long drink the chicken soup she fed him mouthful by mouthful, her eyes flickering with a faint warmth.

  After drinking a bowl of soup, Chen Long sat up.

  "What are you doing?" Li Yun said with some reproach, wanting to press him down, "Don't you hurry up and rest properly!"

  "I'm also helpless!" Chen Long sighed with a bitter smile, but his eyes were exceptionally bright. "I discussed it with the two of them on the road and told them to come back here and rest well. I'll use a small trick to keep watch. To be honest, I was just comforting them, but now you can also help me complete this task. Now I'm just a useless person, I don't have much combat power left, I can only rely on them. You must have guessed it too, we encountered those people, they're here to rob the tomb, they're very fierce and won't let us off easily. There may be another battle tonight."

  Li Yun nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this! Can't we just move to a different location and avoid them?"

  "It won't work, they're also familiar with the terrain here, and the other side has cultivators too, it's not difficult for them to find us."

  "What? There's still a monk! What are we going to do?" Li Yun covered her open mouth with one hand, saying in surprise.

  "What's so strange about it? There are many people in the world, and having a cultivator is nothing special. The most important thing now is to withstand their first wave of attack. My injuries will take at least two days to recover from. Fortunately, the cultivators on the other side are being forced to listen to their orders, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back alive."

  Chen Long's tone was very calm, as if he were discussing a trivial matter, without any tension, which also made Li Yun's hanging heart slowly put down. "Our only chance is that the old man will show mercy, otherwise we'll all die here. As long as we can heavily injure those people, I don't believe they won't retreat. Now you and I will go out and set up an array, everything will be according to my orders. Your abilities are not weak, it's up to you to figure out how to withstand the old man who is showing mercy, without letting others notice."

  Li Yun's eyes sparkled with excitement: "You want to teach me your battle formation? Is this for real?"

  "What's wrong with that?" Chen Long was surprised, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you slowly later."

  Chen Long felt a bit uneasy after finishing speaking, thinking that he would teach her slowly later, wasn't this intentionally getting close to her? So he continued saying, "Of course, if you're not willing, it doesn't matter, anyway, the repair technique hasn't fallen behind and there aren't many opportunities to use it."

  "What I want to learn, who says it's useless? As long as I master it, can't I help you?" Li Yun blurted out what she was thinking in her heart, and after speaking, she realized it sounded a bit ambiguous, and her small face suddenly turned red.

  Li Yun supported Chen Long and slowly walked out of the house, sitting down in the courtyard.

  "I'm teaching you this formation called the Cloud Mist Obstruction Formation. It doesn't have much attacking power, but it can greatly delay time, and for us now, time is the most precious thing." Chen Long's words were soft and slow, and Li Yun almost heard every word clearly. "I know a lot of formations, but your magical powers aren't very high, and you haven't learned these before, so I can only teach you the simplest ones. This formation is simple, but it can still hold off the opponent for a while."

  Then, Chen Long began to explain the key points of the formation to Li Yun in detail. Half an hour passed quickly, "Try to make the fog range bigger, so that when the old man intentionally releases water, we can drag it out for a while longer. Also, use your remaining magic to summon the six Ding and Jia to help, of course, they are not as powerful as they sound, but just some combat tools condensed from your magic."

  Li Yun looked very hard, almost completely remembering every word he said. Chen Long felt a little relieved: "The incantation is like this: Ding Chou prolongs my life, Ding Hai confines my soul. Ding You controls my spirit, Ding Wei wards off my disaster. Ding Si passes through my danger, Ding Mao passes through my calamity. Jia Zi protects my body, Jia Xu guards my shape. Jia Shen solidifies my fate, Jia Wu guards my soul. Jia Chen calms my spirit, Jia Yin nurtures my truth. Actually, this incantation can only help you better condense your magical power. I've studied incantations for many years and found that it's a way to concentrate spiritual energy. Specific incantations can increase the power of the magic you use. But when facing strong enemies, generally high-level cultivators don't speak out loud."
