Chapter 157 Four parties meet
Hearing Zhang Xu say this, the Moon Worshiper's face turned gloomy, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "You are looking for death!" After that, he chanted magic towards Zhang Xu and prepared to attack.
Zhang Xu looked at the other party calmly. The series of words she had just said were deliberately meant to provoke the other party. Her purpose was to make the other party lose his composure so that she could gain an advantage in the battle later.
After all, the other party was still a priest, and his strength should not be underestimated, so he raised his staff again and mobilized the thorns around him, and the battle was about to break out.
………………
On the other side, Qi Yu was running on the deserted street, followed by a dozen Moon Worshipping cultists. Qi Yu was slightly surprised by this.
After all, they were now escaping with the help of "Forest Fury", so their speed was quite fast. Ordinary people would have been left behind long ago, but they were like dog-skin plasters and could not be shaken off no matter what they did.
There was another thing that also puzzled Qi Yu. The distance he had run at this time was at least more than three streets.
But when he looked around, he found that he was still on the deserted street. This feeling like being trapped in a ghost wall made him very confused.
"Is this what they call a lockdown? What should we do? This is not going to work."
Qi Yu was thinking in his heart, and turned his head to look at the pursuers behind him. Seeing that they were all Moon Worshipers, Qi Yu relaxed a little, and then thought:
"Zhang Xu is not around now, how about we just use the magic sword Muramasa to kill them all?"
As soon as this thought arose, he rejected it. After all, after using the demon sword Muramasa, he would be no different from a useless person. He couldn't find a way to escape. What if the other party had reinforcements? Wouldn't he be killed without a burial place?
Just when Qi Yu was unable to make up his mind, several arrows shot towards him from behind. He felt a chill at the back of his head and then barely dodged them.
Qi Yu cursed inwardly: "There are actually archers among the people behind me. Now I can't get entangled with them. I must find another way out quickly."
Just as Qi Yu was twisting and turning, dodging the attack from behind and anxiously looking for a way out, he suddenly saw a group of people walking towards him not far away on the street.
That group of people were all wearing robes of the Water Element Academy and masks with wave patterns on their faces. This group of people were none other than Teacher Huo and his group who came to cause trouble for Qi Yu.
Qi Yu was slightly stunned when he saw this. He didn't know why the people from the Water Element Academy appeared here, but he couldn't care less at this moment. As the saying goes, "I would rather die than have a friend die." Qi Yu could only say sorry.
Qi Yu turned around quickly and rushed towards the group of people, waving his hands and shouting, "Hey! I'm here! Come and save me!"
The dozen or so Moon Worshipers who were chasing him from behind were startled when they heard his shouting, and looked towards the people in the distance who were also wearing robes.
One of the cultists turned his head to the leader and said, "What should we do? He seems to have reinforcements. Should we still chase him?"
After the leader shot an arrow, he said, "The High Priest has ordered that we must find him alive or dead. Since he already knows of our existence, it is safer for him to die. Let's keep chasing him!"
"What about those elemental mages who came to reinforce him..." asked another cultist holding a dagger.
"Kill them all! They are now inside the High Priest's formation, so no information about them can leak out. No one will know that we killed them." The leader interrupted him and gave the order.
"Yes!" Then the people behind quickened their pace.
...............
A few minutes ago, at the Water Element Academy.
At this time, the group was looking around at the situation around them. Teacher Huo, who was in the lead, looked impatient and turned to ask the apprentice beside him:
"Are you sure you're taking the right route? That guy is right here? Why do I feel like something is wrong with this street? I've seen this street light four times!"
As she spoke, Teacher Huo kicked the lamp post, which made a "duang" sound and a hole was created by her kick.
The apprentice who was leading the way scratched his head and looked around in confusion. He was also very confused at this moment, because he had discovered Qi Yu and the other two here before.
But when he returned here after reporting the news, he found that the two people had disappeared, and they seemed to be affected by something and kept walking in circles.
"Teacher Huo, I don't know. We did find them on this street before, but why are they now..."
Another apprentice following behind asked, "It seems like we are going around in circles."
"Yes, I left a mark on the wall over there before, and now I see the mark again." Another apprentice said, pointing to a wall.
When everyone looked, they saw a big word "demolition" written on the wall with red paint. It was very conspicuous. Everyone then looked at the apprentice who had just spoken in silence.
The apprentice waved his hand quickly: "It's not this one, it's the one next to it."
Everyone looked back again, and saw that next to the conspicuous word "拆", there was a medium-sized "x" carved with a knife.
An apprentice stroked his chin and analyzed: "That means something is affecting our cognition or senses."
"Could it be a trap?" Someone in the crowd came up with this hypothesis.
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent for a moment, and then turned their eyes to the apprentice who led the way.
The latter was stared at by everyone, feeling very uncomfortable as if being pricked by needles. He shouted loudly: "Why are you looking at me? I didn't know this place would turn out like this. You don't think I deliberately framed you, do you? You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"
Then, seeing that everyone was still looking at him with distrust, he looked at Teacher Huo: "Teacher Huo, you have to believe me, I definitely did not betray the academy, and I didn't know this place would become like this."
Teacher Huo also had the same idea, but she was a teacher, and as a teacher she had to make her own judgment, so she slowly said:
"Stop arguing, don't lose your composure before the battle even starts. This shouldn't be a trap. How could a mere apprentice like him set up such a big trap to trick us? This must have been set up by someone else."
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this: "Did someone else arrange this? Could it be that besides us, there are others chasing that kid?"
Although Teacher Huo was a bit willful, she was very smart. She analyzed the situation and said, "I don't know if it has the same goal as us, but judging from the effect of this thing, it should be mainly used to trap people, but not to kill them. This means that he wants to kill the target with his own hands, so the caster must be among them."
But soon a new question arose: "But this is the Elemental City. To be able to arrange it so openly, it must be a powerful force or a person with great ability. Who could it be?"
Teacher Huo was thinking, when suddenly an apprentice beside him called out, "Teacher Huo, there seems to be something going on ahead!"
