Chapter 365 The Tide of Resistance (Part 1)

"Do you know where everyone is being held?" Fann asked Zhuoflan.

The girl nodded, "There is a flat open space to the left of the dock where I was hiding. It is the ceremony site for the Silver Star Tree Boat. It is less than a mile away from the dock area. That's where I escaped from."

"They want to send the prisoners ashore as soon as they arrive at the destination." Fang Xiandao said thoughtfully, "If the elves are concentrated in the open space, then the enemy will definitely guard around the ceremony site. We don't go through the entrance and cut in from the outside. It can catch them off guard.”

"Master, Qianzhi didn't see you using divination just now."

"Fool, does this require divination? You can understand it just by thinking about it." Fang Xiandao glared.

"Then let's set out separately." Luo said in a soft voice, "There is exactly one audio device on each side. If you encounter a difficult problem, don't try to solve it alone, just call."

"Then do you know where the spiritual tree is?" Shan Hui asked.

"Of course." Fann said without hesitation, "Plants grow in circles, and spiritual trees are no exception. The core of all tree boats must be in the center of it."

…

Around one o'clock in the morning, the rescue team crawled through the huge roots and sneaked into the ceremony area.

As Zhuo Fulan said, this is a rare flat area on the Silver Star. The ancient branches spreading out from the center of the tree boat seem to have avoided this place; countless vines are intertwined and layered to build a The surface is like a fabric, and you can even feel a slight collapse when you step on it.

The ceremony hall was brightly lit, and many bonfires piled in iron basins were burning brightly. Of course, the people of the Empire did not do this to hold a ceremony, but if there was not enough heating material, half of the elves who were bundled up and sleeping on the spot would freeze to death on the way home.

In order to monitor this group of prisoners, the Imperials also erected simple sentry towers around the venue. With the firelight all over the ground, every corner of the ceremony venue could be clearly seen.

There are also about two or three patrol teams, but unlike the island patrol teams encountered before, these people only circle around here, obviously to guard against possible escapees.

"Do you want to rush in?" Qianzhi stared at an enemy camp not far away and said eagerly, "Qianzhi can take the lead!"

"Save it for yourself." Fang Xiandao grabbed her by the collar and dragged her back to him, "We have to deal with the nearest sentry tower first. Who wants to go?"

"I can give it a try." Kong Xuanzi, who had been following quietly before, suddenly said.

"Are you sure?" Fang Xiandao glanced at him unexpectedly - in his original idea, he was more optimistic about Shanhui who could turn into an animal and approach the enemy.

"Yes. At that time, the research on magic was not as profound as it is now, and the theory of Four Symbols and Bagua was not popular yet, but the ancient Penglai method still had its merits." Kong Xuanzi took out the wooden sword and talisman, bit the tip of his tongue, and said A mouthful of blood spurted on the sword, and then he threw it out - "Tao method, sword control!"

The sword actually flew up on its own, flying straight towards the top of the sentry tower!

The distance of a hundred steps was reached in an instant, and the wooden sword accurately grazed the enemy's throat, wandered around, and then returned to Kong Xuanzi's hand. The imperial sentry clutched his throat and collapsed. Even if he wanted to scream, the gushing blood would completely block his trachea, making it impossible for him to make any sound.

What a neat technique!

Fang Xiandao did not expect that the alchemist he had just met today was actually a hidden master.

Zhuoflan was even more surprised and covered her mouth. Is this the Demon Holder from the mainland? Being able to kill people silently from such a long distance is just like... just like the Imperials! How could such a terrifying country be willing to form an alliance with the fleeing Noah's tree boat?

"Actually, this move is not as powerful as you think." Kong Xuanzi felt a little embarrassed under the eyes of everyone, "If we use modern methods, it is a kind of Sunda technique. By controlling the wind, the wooden sword can fly. It can have an unprepared effect.”

"How can Xun Shu have such an effect?" Fang Xiandao obviously didn't believe it. "I can understand manipulating the wind, but it's over a hundred feet away. How can it be possible to have the wind surround the sword body without any chaos?"

This distance makes it difficult to even see the sword clearly, let alone allow it to come and go freely.

"This is related to Penglai's secret art of raising swords." Kong Xuanzi said generously, "After we choose a sword, we will nourish it with Qi and blood. The longer it takes, the more like our own siblings, even if it is hundreds of years apart. I can still feel its condition." At this point, he stroked the sword with some pride, "For example, this sword has been with me for almost fifteen years, and I know every trace of it clearly. . It is said in ancient law that Qi is the soul and blood is the soul. When cultivated to the extreme, the sword spirit becomes the soul.

"So that's it..." Fang Xiandao suddenly said, "Then you should avoid dealing with Luo Qingqing from now on."

"Uh... why?"

Because she has a lot of swords like this even if she doesn't keep them. "Anyway, you believe me right." He turned to the others, "Now is the time to capture this camp first. Shanhui, you will take the lead - go in dog form, and prioritize those who may cause trouble. Enemies. Remember to stay hidden. It will be more advantageous for us if we can be discovered later!"

"What about you, young master?" Qianzhi pouted.

"I will hold the battle here for you." Fang Xiandao replied seriously.

Since someone was responsible for thinking about tactics, Shanhui didn't bother to think about it anymore. He turned into a small tengu and ran towards the camp first.

It's a tent, but it's actually more like a small camp - the imperial army dispersed the troops outside the ritual site, with one every three or four hundred steps, which is very convenient for watching over the elves. In other words, every time they get rid of a group of enemies, they can let some of the captives regain their freedom.

There were only two soldiers on guard outside the tent, but it was better to say that they were having fun with the elf captives than on guard. Several islanders knelt at their feet, one of whom had been beaten black and blue, but he didn't even dare to scream.

Shanhui rushed in front of the two people, and the latter had no vigilance at all. The first reaction when he saw the tengu was to draw his waist knife to add to the meal. He accelerated suddenly, almost instantly passed between the two people, then changed back to his original form and grabbed the enemy's neck with his backhand.

The power of the demon is far greater than that of ordinary people. He used all his strength and directly broke the cervical vertebrae of the two people.

The kneeling elves were stunned. The imperial soldiers who had been so arrogant just now were now limp corpses, and the figure standing in front of them seemed particularly tall.

At the same time, Qian Zhi and Kong Xuanzi also plunged into the big tent.

Dozens of soldiers lined up on both sides, sleeping soundly on the quilt. Two people were responsible for one side, one with fists and the other with wooden swords, and they were beaten one by one so that they would never wake up again.

When the remaining Noah warriors arrived, there was no living enemy in the camp.

"Who are you..." Seeing the figure of the same tribe appear, someone finally couldn't help asking.

"We are here to rescue you." Heim stepped forward to comfort, "Please keep quiet."

"Rescue?" Everyone's faces showed obvious surprise and suspicion. The World Island has fallen, so how can they care about their people?

"What these people said is true, I can testify." A clear voice sounded, and Zhuo Fulan walked in front of everyone, "They are from Noah's Tree Boat, and they want to help us take back the Silver Star."

"You are... the child of the elders!?" Someone recognized her identity.
