Chapter 247 Crisis Decision (1)
In trouble
This battle was like a lone boat in a storm. Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting fought desperately, but were still pushed into a desperate situation by the huge waves of the conspiracy group.
The conspiracy group was so numerous and powerful, like ants, swarming up in waves. And from time to time they pulled out some strange and bizarre gadgets, like fire-breathing cannons and small crossbows that could shoot poison needles.
The traps and mechanisms that Yun Mengting had carefully crafted were quite effective at first. Sometimes a spike would pop up, and sometimes a hidden crossbow would shoot out, which scared the enemy to death.
But they were well prepared and were easily defeated. The spike traps were blocked by iron plates, and the crossbows were deflected by a special shield.
Ling Xuan didn't gain any advantage in his fight with Lu Xiao and the other masters. Lu Xiao's attacks were brutal and accurate, and he was determined to kill Ling Xuan.
No matter how powerful Ling Xuan was, he couldn't withstand being surrounded and attacked by so many people. Without any care, Lu Xiao's palm wind cut a large gash on his left arm, and blood gushed out.
Another time, his weapon collided with that of a master, causing a tightness in his chest and nearly causing him to vomit blood. He knew in his heart that if he continued to waste time like this, he would be doomed.
Not only would the Secret Book of Heaven and Earth be lost, but Yun Mengting and he would also lose their lives here. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking around, thinking about how to rush out, or find some other way to deal with these bad guys.
As for Yun Mengting, she was reborn as a medical concubine, and her mind wasn't idle either. Her large eyes darted around, and memories of her past life flooded into her mind like a tide. Back then, she'd spent her days studying medicine in the palace, treating every possible ailment. The human body's meridians and acupuncture points were like engraved on her mind.
She had also learned a lot of tricks in the palace struggles. Now she knew that relying on these tricks alone would not be enough. She glanced at Ling Xuan's injured arm and came up with an idea.
"Lingxuan, let's run to the stone forest over there first. The terrain there is complicated and we can hide there."
Yun Mengting spoke quickly. She knew the stone forest was full of twists and turns, making it a good place to hide and perhaps even find some herbs. Ling Xuan thought it was a good idea, so he and she fought as they retreated toward the stone forest.
Once inside the stone forest, the conspiracy group became hesitant to venture forth. Yun Mengting hurriedly searched for herbs in the stone forest. Drawing on her memories from her past life, she quickly discovered several herbs that could stop bleeding and heal wounds.
She squatted down and picked the herbs with her nimble hands, muttering, "This herb can stop bleeding, and when combined with that one, it can also relieve pain." Ling Xuan watched from the side, full of admiration.
Yun Mengting chewed the herbs into pieces and carefully applied them to Ling Xuan's wound.
"Although this herb isn't as good as the palace's, it'll work for now and help stop the bleeding," she said as she worked on it. Then, her eyes flashed as she came up with another idea. "Ling Xuan, let's pretend we can't defeat them and lure them deeper into the stone forest.
I'll set up a few traps there, sprinkle some powder, and when they come in, I'll catch them off guard."
Ling Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "That's a good idea, but we're both injured, so we have to be careful." The two of them discussed it and started to act.
They deliberately left a gap at the edge of the stone forest, allowing the conspiracy group to take advantage and chase them in. Yun Mengting quietly set up traps in key locations and sprinkled her special powder in hidden corners.
This powder is magical. It will scatter when the wind blows, and can make the enemy's mind confused and see all kinds of messy things.
The members of the conspiracy group foolishly chased in, not realizing it was a trap. Suddenly, there was a scream, and someone stepped on the mechanism and was stabbed by the spikes.
Then, the powder started to float up, and those people seemed to be possessed by a ghost. Some of them shouted that a tiger was pouncing on them, while others walked around in circles, thinking they had walked into a maze.
Seeing their chance, Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting immediately counterattacked. Ling Xuan rushed towards Lu Xiao, sword in hand. Although injured, his momentum remained undiminished.
"Lu Xiao, today is your death!" he shouted, his swordsmanship as sharp as lightning. Yun Mengting was operating the mechanism nearby, helping Ling Xuan fight.
When Lu Xiao saw the situation, he knew that something was wrong and wanted to ask people to retreat, but it was too late. They were all trapped in the stone forest.
"Don't be complacent, this isn't over yet!" Although he shouted fiercely, there was already a hint of fear in his voice.
Ling Xuan and Yun Mengting's counterattack in the stone forest temporarily turned the situation around.
But they also know that the conspiracy group will not let it go like this, and there may be even bigger troubles waiting for them in the future.
They had to take advantage of this moment to devise a plan to completely defeat the conspiracy group and preserve the Secret Codex of Heaven and Earth. Yun Mengting, the reborn Medical Consort, would undoubtedly possess even greater abilities and wisdom in the coming crisis.
