Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages-Chapter 165 - Be Prepared
165 Be Prepared
“The behavior of this group of beasts is too abnormal. The beasts live according to their packs and don’t have a unified leader. I’m even more curious. What makes them cooperate?
Their actions were also premeditated. This has nothing to do with whether I killed the adult Lightning Dragon or not.”
“Reporting to Captain, the cavalry and Lancers are ready.”
“Got it. Wait for my order.”
“Yes, Sir.”
James unfastened the spear from his back and held it in his hand. He took a piece of leather and carefully wiped the tip.
It shone coldly.
“I’ve already sent out the message. The reinforcements from Machete City should arrive soon.”
Su Dongxiong looked up. “Sending a message from here? Can they receive it?”
“The Vatican can receive it.”
“Vatican, what are they here for?”
“I don’t know, but this time, Demon-Hunter General Van Helsing is personally leading the team. The Vatican doesn’t dare to be too arrogant.”
“Hahaha, is there anything the Vatican doesn’t dare to do?”
Su Dongxiong laughed, jumped off the carriage, and sped up.
“No matter who comes, we still have to walk this path ourselves.
“Three minutes later, charge.”
Fang Ping lowered his head and estimated the time. It was probably already midnight. The team still had no intention of stopping to rest. Even their speed did not decrease.
From the looks of it, he wanted to walk out of the cave in one go.
Looking ahead, it was still dark. How long was this cave?
Fang Ping’s position was at the back of the group. Qing Niao, who was beside him, turned his head and looked behind suspiciously. “Is there some sound? Fang Ping, did you hear it?”
Fang Ping’s head was spinning. He was too tired. He could not hear any sound clearly, so he decided to use his ability.
“Characteristics failed. Target: Poison Bat. Not the target.”
Sure enough, they didn’t leave. They came back.
Continuing to investigate, there were quite a number of bats in the surroundings. Their voices were still very soft. It was unknown if they were very far away or if they were quietly following.
If Fang Ping’s mathematics was good enough, theoretically, he could change positions. He could calculate the distance between the two positions and the angle between the two positions and the target.
It was a pity that Fang Ping’s mathematics was not good. He had completely forgotten about sine and cosine.
As expected, he was only at the peak of his intelligence in high school. After graduating for a few years, he returned all his knowledge back to the school.
“Miss Elsa, they’re following us.”
As Fang Ping spoke, he quickened his pace and caught up with the team.
“Everyone, run forward. Fang Ping, continue to pay attention to the situation at the back.”
If those bats had returned earlier, Fang Ping’s team would not have been able to deal with them. They could only put some distance between them before they attack.
Once they started running, Fang Ping was left behind again.
The difference of 10 to 20 points in attack power was really not just a difference in value. When it was reflected in the physical fitness, the difference was very big.
Sometimes, the difference between humans was even greater than the difference between humans and pigs.
“Fang Ping, give me your backpack.”
Looking at Qing Niao’s outstretched hand, Fang Ping took off his backpack and handed it to him.
“Thank you.”
Fang Ping’s team was running forward. From time to time, Fang Ping would look back. The bats were always behind him, but Fang Ping did not know if they had caught up.
‘I hope not.’
After running forward for a while, a light appeared in front of them and they caught up to the carriage of the Lord’s Guards.
A row of carriages stopped in the middle of the cave and did not advance. Two or three people stood by the roadside and looked ahead. Some people were sitting on the ground and talking in low voices. When they saw Fang Ping’s team appear, they stood up one after another and bowed respectfully.
Where did the soldiers go?
Elsa stopped. “Where did they go?”
The standing men looked at each other in silence for a moment. Then someone pointed to the front of the cave. “Up ahead.”
Fang Ping propped himself up on his thighs and bent over, panting heavily. It was pitch-black ahead. They had gone to the front. Were they going to leave these carriages where they were?
Elsa frowned and said, “Everyone, get in the carriage and move forward. You can’t stay here.”
They were just a group of logisticians, not soldiers. Faced with Elsa’s order, they all looked in the same direction.
It was a carriage in the middle.
After a while, someone stuck his head out. He was wearing armor and his face was pale. “Let’s go.”
Fang Ping had an impression of this face. As the vice-captain of the Lord’s Guards, it should not be a problem for him to get up and move around.
With his words, the logistics staff took action. They found their own carriages and drove forward.
The vice-captain pointed to a carriage behind them. “That one is empty now. You can rest.”
Elsa glanced at Mai Wen.
The crutch he was leaning on was made of temporary wooden sticks. He had not rested during the entire journey. Coupled with the fact that he was jogging, the wooden stick had been broken many times. It could only wrap around the wooden stick layer by layer. It became more and more bloated and turned into a big wooden stick.
...
Mai Wen’s expression wasn’t good either. He gritted his teeth and shook his head. “Teacher Elsa, I can do it…”
“If you force yourself, not only will you harm yourself, but you will also kill others.”
Mai Wen took a deep breath and nodded. He took the backpack from the person beside him and walked towards the carriage, leaning on the thick wooden stick.
His empty pants fluttered in the wind.
As the carriage moved forward, Elsa walked toward the vice-captain. “The Lord’s Guard, what’s going on?”
The vice-captain pointed ahead. “The exit of the cave is less than two thousand meters ahead. The Lord’s Guards have already charged.”
“2,000 meters, charge… Where’s Su Dongxiong and Ivan? Did they charge together?”
“Ivan set off ahead of time, and the Lord’s Guards charge three minutes after. Ivan is powerful. If there’s an enemy ahead, he can disrupt the enemy’s lineup. Cough, cough, cough!”
Halfway through his sentence, the vice-captain suddenly coughed violently. He clutched his chest. “Sorry, I’m not in a good state. I need to rest again.”
“Okay.”
When the vice-captain returned to the carriage, Elsa’s voice rang out. “Fang Ping’s team, run forward!”
...
Fang Ping had just taken a sip of water and his waterskin was almost empty. He took out another pinecone from his backpack and prepared to fill his stomach. With Teacher Elsa’s order, he quickly stuffed the pinecone back and was about to run again.
Fang Ping’s team ran forward. Fang Ping was at the back of the team. He tilted his head and glanced at the carriage. Mai Wen sat on the carriage, his backpack and wooden stick placed at the side. He did not run forward with Fang Ping’s team, but sat quietly on the carriage.
Fang Ping saw his eyes. They were not as resentful or disappointed as he had imagined. Instead, they were very calm.
In a flash, Fang Ping continued running forward.
He did not know what had happened earlier, but Fang Ping felt very sleepy now. When would these things be resolved so he could finally sleep?
As for those horse carriages, Fang Ping did not dare to sleep. There was still a large group of bats behind them, and he did not know when they would appear.
Those logistics personnel were only Class 1 and 2 Professionals. Without the protection of soldiers, being attacked by bats was a dead end. It was safer to follow the team.
