Wait for Me (Two Chapters Combined)
The Horse-Headed Men were almost completely wiped out, and the other Strange Monsters, not wanting to be cannon fodder any longer, were all watching from the canyon entrance.
Qiu Luoye simply took the lead himself, bringing along a dozen or so loyal subordinates as they charged into the canyon. With each step they took, the entire valley trembled.
Li Banfeng ran towards the mouth of the valley and soon saw the shadows of Qiu Luoye.
Li Banfeng manipulated the pendulum on the rock wall, cutting off a large patch of vines.
The boulders bound by vines fell one after another, and a boulder the size of Qiu Luoye struck her.
Ugh~
With a flick of its nose, Qiu Luoye shattered a boulder into pieces, just like swatting a fly.
"Shui Yongquan, come out! Show us your true skills!"
He didn't stop for a moment and kept rushing forward.
Despite its enormous size, it moved quickly like Qiu Luoye. According to Li Banfeng's estimate, it would take him at most five minutes to rush out of the canyon.
What should we do with only seven minutes left?
What can we use to stop him?
The gate can hold them off for three minutes.
Could the traps along the way hold him back for four minutes?
Li Banfeng jumped onto one cliff face and then manipulated a paper figure to jump onto another cliff face.
Why are there paper figures?
Aren't the paper figures all scattered and broken?
Those were printed paper figures, this was drawn, and it was hidden in my Portable Abode beforehand.
Li Banfeng spent two and a half days drawing three pictures. The paper figures Li Banfeng drew were imbued with his hard work and were quite different from the printed paper figures.
These three paper figures can stand still for half an hour, and under intense combat, they can last for three minutes.
Paper figures and Li Banfeng cut vines one after another on the cliff, triggering traps, while a pendulum helped out from the side.
A dozen or so giant nets woven from vines blocked the way for the falling Qiu Luoye.
This is a carefully crafted trap by Centipede Mother and Daughter. Li Banfeng has tried it; these vines are extremely sturdy and cannot be cut even with a pendulum.
The Qiu Luoye walked straight ahead, bumping into the giant web of vines, much like an ordinary person bumping into a spider web. Apart from feeling a little annoyed, it did not affect their speed at all.
More than a dozen giant nets shattered one after another, and the Qiu Luoye did not stop for a moment.
Not a second was wasted.
This is the Local Earth God.
At 5:11, the Qiu Luoye had traveled five miles through the valley in less than two minutes.
The second ambush point is around the corner ahead, and this ambush point is crucial!
There was a pit in the ground, dug by the wild boar and two bears for Li Banfeng.
The pit was twenty meters deep, and the Centipede Mother and Daughter had done exquisite camouflage on the pit, making them completely undetectable from the outside.
Once Qiu Luoye fall, it won't be easy for them to get back up.
Could someone with the Local Earth God's wisdom fall into a trap?
How could Centipede Mother and Daughter, with cultivation levels of three or four, possibly deceive the Local Earth God?
Boom!
Qiu Luoye stepped on the trap and fell into the pit.
He actually fell.
As the Shui Yongquan says, Qiu Luoye are not very clever.
This is also why he prefers to fight in his true form; if he transforms into a will-o'-the-wisp, he might be outmaneuvered.
But he has still been outmaneuvered by Li Banfeng. According to Li Banfeng's estimate, this deep pit can trap him for at least a minute.
Li Banfeng was mistaken.
Five seconds later, Qiu Luoye raised her head, shook her nose, and jumped out of the pit with her limbs together.
Five seconds! The wild boar spent a whole day painstakingly digging the hole, and it was only delayed by five seconds!
These five seconds also gave Li Banfeng a chance to make a move.
In his hands, the water in the Old Teapot boiled!
Two barriers rose in the valley, one in front and one behind, trapping the fallen Qiu Luoye.
Qiu Luoye bumped against the barrier.
The Old Teapot coughed several times. "This old elephant has great strength."
A large amount of tea quickly gushed out from the ground, the scalding tea submerging the elephant's ankles.
The Old Teapot is the key to the second ambush point.
Although he had lost most of his memory, Old Teapot was confident in himself. "Brother, I didn't think the Local Earth God would give me a chance to act, but if I succeed, I can at least hold him off for two minutes!"
Two minutes!
How precious those two minutes must be!
The tea quickly spread up to the elephant's knees. The elephant stared at the tea for a moment, then stuck its long trunk into it.
Slurp!
The tea that was spilled all over the floor has been drunk clean!
"That's good!" the old elephant burped.
The Old Teapot exclaimed in surprise, "This old elephant... I'm afraid I can only hold out for a minute."
Without tea, the Old Teapot thought its barrier could hold for a minute.
He's too optimistic.
Boom!
The elephant swung its long trunk and rammed its tusks against the barrier.
The Old Teapot trembled, and the screen cracked.
Ugh!
The elephant roared and rammed into something again.
The Old Teapot spat out a mouthful of tea and then fell silent.
The barrier shattered, and the Old Teapot fell into a deep slumber!
The Old Teapot's barrier was broken by the Qiu Luoye with just two impacts!
"A body cultivator!" The Wine Gourd exclaimed in surprise. "I've never seen such a powerful body cultivator before!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wine Gourd shot into the air, spilling out all the remaining wine.
Li Banfeng struck a match and was about to light it when the elephant swung its long trunk, sucking in all the alcohol mist from the air.
The Wine Gourd gritted his teeth and said, "Let this bastard get drunk!"
This is the wine of the Medicine King!
Qiu Luoye swayed slightly and rubbed its eyes with its nose.
Was he drunk?
No.
"Good wine! Strong enough!" Qiu Luoye continued walking forward, and apart from her skin turning a little redder, there were basically no other changes.
What kind of monster is this?
Even the Medicine King's wine didn't work?
What could possibly stop him?
Li Banfeng recalled his initial tactics: leading ten thousand archers to ambush the enemy on both flanks of the valley, unleashing a hail of arrows.
Looking back now, it's no wonder my Wife laughed at me.
Even if you set up two rows of cannons, let alone bows and arrows, would it be of any use to him?
Are those two rows of missiles even useful?
The paper doll cut a vine, causing a pile of boulders to fall.
The boulder did not damage the Qiu Luoye, but the paper doll was scattered and broken.
The intensity was too high; she had reached her limit.
The fox approached the elephant, pointed to the cliff, and cried out, "Master, there are people on the cliff!"
She saw Li Banfeng.
Qiu Luoye sneered, "A piece of trash, I saw him a long time ago."
The fox volunteered, "Master, we should capture this person first!"
"No need!" Qiu Luoye's tactics were very clear. "Don't linger in the valley. Quickly get to the territory of the Shui Yongquan, destroy his lair, dig out the contract, and let him become a wandering ghost."
The elephant roared forward, followed by a dozen other creatures singing loudly as they charged ahead!
The main force was still observing at the mouth of the valley. Since they couldn't get the first credit anyway, they decided to wait until the Qiu Luoye broke through the valley before charging up.
Li Banfeng glanced at the clock on the back of the calendar; it was 5:13.
Two minutes passed, and for a minute and a half, the Qiu Luoye were walking.
The second ambush point, which was originally planned to delay the enemy for two minutes, has now only delayed them for half a minute.
What should we do if we have seven minutes left?
Without a second thought, Li Banfeng rushed toward the third ambush point.
The third ambush point was located eight miles from the valley entrance, only two miles away.
At this ambush point, Li Banfeng had to take action personally.
He ran to the front of the Qiu Luoye and saw Qiu Luoye approaching from afar, his whole body trembling along with the ground.
Facing the Local Earth God is a very difficult thing.
Li Banfeng tensed his body, controlled his trembling hands, and rushed into a patch of vines.
Bitter Granny was walking on the dirt road in the Bitter Vegetable Manor when she saw a vegetable leaf fall at her feet.
Did I rely on luck again?
This is the second time?
This kid seems to have encountered quite a few things.
Li Banfeng darted into the vines, and Qiu Luoye arrived in the blink of an eye. Seeing a large patch of vines blocking his way, Qiu Luoye swung his long nose, sending the vines flying in all directions.
Li Banfeng emerged from the vines and unfurled a calendar in front of the Qiu Luoye.
He was more than ten meters away from the Qiu Luoye. If the Qiu Luoye didn't stop, it would be too late for Li Banfeng to run away.
Because Li Banfeng cannot move when the calendar poster is in use, which is the foundation of the calendar poster.
Not only can he not move, but nothing around him that has a spirit can move either.
The magical artifacts must not be touched, nor can the Spiritual Object.
Once that's done, the calendar poster tactic will lose its effectiveness.
Qiu Luoye retracted its long trunk and glanced at Li Banfeng: "You've come here to die?"
He moved and spoke.
But did he really move?
No.
Li Banfeng didn't answer, but the beautiful woman in the calendar poster spoke up, "Stop!"
Qiu Luoye was taken aback. "You think you can just stop like that?"
"I am but a weak woman, begging you, sir, to stop for a moment, won't you?"
But for some reason, upon hearing what the beautiful woman said, Qiu Luoye actually stopped in his tracks.
The fox beside him was startled and looked at Li Banfeng, who was holding up a calendar poster.
De Xiu?
The beautiful woman on the calendar continued to ask the Qiu Luoye, "Why did you enter the valley?"
Qiu Luoye answered her question earnestly, "Today is the day the war begins, of course I can come in!"
The beautiful woman pointed to the calendar below the monthly display and said, "The war starts tomorrow. You've got the date wrong!"
"Tomorrow?" Qiu Luoye were stunned for a long time.
Did I really get the date wrong?
He looked back at a pine tree covered in needles and asked, "Isn't today the day of war?"
The pine tree thought for a long time and then replied, "I don't know what a day is, but I do know what a year is. Every year that passes, I grow a little thicker..."
"Get lost, you piece of trash!" Qiu Luoye turned around, looked at the calendar poster, and shouted angrily, "Just because you're wrong doesn't mean you're wrong!"
The beautiful woman on the calendar poster shouted sternly, "I am the calendar poster! If I say you've got the dates wrong, then you're wrong!"
What she said makes so much sense!
Calendar posters never get the dates wrong!
The beautiful woman continued to scold, "You barged in before the appointed time! You don't follow the rules at all. What kind of Local Earth God are you?"
The Qiu Luoye felt ashamed and wished they could leave immediately with the people.
He looked down and saw the fox at his feet, but found that the fox neither spoke nor moved.
The fox is about to wake up.
The calendar poster was a magical artifact that Red Lotus crafted using the Singer Flower and Pan Dehai's Folding Fan. Li Banfeng named it Dream Virtue.
The moment Li Banfeng unfolded the calendar, Dream Virtue plunged Qiu Luoye and a group of his subordinates into a dream, and using De Xiu's techniques, made Qiu Luoye fall into deep self-blame.
This is risky; given the level of the Singer Flower, it's impossible for her to quickly induce dreams with Qiu Luoye.
However, Pan Dehai's fan is of a very high level. With the refinement of lotus flowers, Dream Virtue's level is comparable to that of the fan, and there is a certain chance that Qiu Luoye can enter the dream.
The odds depend on Li Banfeng's luck.
But even though the Qiu Luoye have entered my dreams, it's not without its risks.
Even if one of Qiu Luoye's subordinates is not in the dream, the dream will shatter as soon as that person moves.
Just now, Qiu Luoye was talking to the Treant, and he seemed to be moving the whole time.
Actually, he didn't move. He was talking to the Treant in his dream. He stood in the same spot, right in front of Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng was very lucky; Qiu Luoye and all his subordinates appeared in his dream.
He was holding the calendar poster, sweat dripping down his face. The clock face on the back of the poster was still there, showing the time as 5:15.
The Qiu Luoye had been standing still for more than a minute, and the calendar had already exceeded its target.
For Li Banfeng, the wisest choice now is to immediately take back the monthly billboards and run away.
But Li Banfeng wanted to delay a little longer.
Less than two miles from the mouth of the valley, if the Qiu Luoye continued to rush forward, they could rush out of the valley in less than a minute.
The door can only hold for three minutes. What should we do when there's still more than a minute left?
Let's just wait and see!
Just one more minute and we'll see hope.
But Li Banfeng didn't expect that the fox next to Qiu Luoye had already woken up, because this fox was also Dream Cultivator.
Despite having only reached the second level of cultivation, this fox possesses extremely high intelligence and is Qiu Luoye's capable assistant.
From the moment he entered the dream, he sensed something was wrong. Now his consciousness had broken out of the dream, but he didn't rush to wake Qiu Luoye.
This fox had a different idea from Qiu Luoye. He believed that the hidden dangers in the valley should be eliminated first before attacking the territory of the Shui Yongquan.
Li Banfeng, who is right in front of us, is both cunning and persistent, and is the one who should be eliminated the most.
He pretended to still be dreaming, planning to kill Li Banfeng first, then wake Qiu Luoye, in order to prevent Li Banfeng from escaping.
The fox's toes barely touched the ground, making a slight sound as they hit the soil. The Thread-Pulling Earring immediately gave a warning. "Something's happening!"
Li Banfeng took the calendar poster, turned and ran. The fox leaped up and pounced on Li Banfeng's back. A Tang Blade flew over and chopped off the fox's head.
The Insect Chief's tentacles weren't eaten for nothing!
"Every Strike Takes a Head!" Tang Blade praised himself before catching up with Li Banfeng and fleeing for their lives.
From the moment the fox moved, the Qiu Luoye had already awakened.
He trampled a large patch of vines to pieces, and before reaching the valley exit, Li Banfeng used one last trap.
It's unclear whether this trap works or not, but the chances of it not working are extremely high.
In front of him stood a paper doll, holding Judge's Brush, drawing a circle, and waiting inside the circle.
Li Banfeng rushed through the circle, but the paper figure didn't move.
Qiu Luoye rushed into the circle, and the paper figure shouted, "Fly!"
The Judge's Brush didn't even move his pen; he was too lazy to do so.
If it didn't move, it didn't move. Li Banfeng hadn't had much hope for the Judge's Brush's Pen anyway.
With a flick of its nose, Qiu Luoye smashed the second paper doll into pieces, and the Judge's Brush fell to the ground.
In the Bitter Vegetable Manor, Bitter Granny saw another vegetable leaf fall in front of her.
Has my third chance run out?
It was used on a good product, and this product is quite high-end.
The Bitter Granny smiled.
Nephew, you're going to have to pay off debts again.
The Qiu Luoye continued to rush forward, and by sheer coincidence, one of them stepped on the Judge's Brush.
"I'll kick you..." That kick really hurt the Judge's Brush.
He was angry.
He suddenly flew up, carrying with him the Qiu Luoye.
As the Qiu Luoye were moving forward, they suddenly found themselves off the ground.
Before he could figure out what had happened, he had already flown back more than two miles.
Did something prick your foot just now?
The Qiu Luoye bowed their heads, but did not see the Judge's Brush.
Judge's Brush burrowed into the grass to hide, knowing that if he were caught by the Qiu Luoye, he would surely die.
It flew two miles carrying fallen Qiu Luoye, exhausting all the strength it had accumulated over the years with its Judge's Brush.
He lay quietly in the grass, without making a sound.
These two miles bought Li Banfeng a minute.
Li Banfeng had already rushed to the mouth of the canyon and erected the Water Falling Gate.
He unfolded the calendar and glanced at it.
The dial on the back shows the time as 5:16.
We can only hope that the Qiu Luoye will fall more slowly.
At 5:17, Qiu Luoye didn't arrive, but his Treant came running over.
Li Banfeng didn't wait any longer and had the last paper doll, Jiaoniang, pour two jin of water on the Water Falling Gate.
Water droplets flowed down the lintel, and as the Water Falling Gate quickly took root, forming an invisible barrier that spread to both sides of the valley.
Before the barrier was sealed, the Treant crashed into it.
Li Banfeng, who was standing behind the door, was knocked off balance Treant's head pierced through the crack in the door and headed straight for Li Banfeng's chest.
Whoosh!
With a swing of his Tang Blade, he severed half of the Treant's head.
After three slashes, the Tang Blade was shrunk back into Li Banfeng's pocket.
The Treant seemed oblivious to pain and kept ramming into it. Li Banfeng swung his sickle and hacked at the Treant repeatedly.
The Paper Delicate Woman hugged the Treant from behind with all her might, and under the combined attack of the two, the Treant took half a step back.
He turned around, grabbed the Paper Delicate Woman and tore it into pieces. He turned back to deal with Li Banfeng, but was blocked by the barrier.
The barrier has taken shape!
The clock on the calendar showed 5:17:08.
It's done!
It was a success!
The Water Falling Gate can hold out for three minutes, until 5:20!
The Treant was frantically ramming against the barrier outside, while Li Banfeng was bracing the door tightly from behind.
The Water Falling Gate was very powerful. The Treant tried to ram it, but Li Banfeng only felt a slight shock on his arm. Most of the force was neutralized by the Water Falling Gate.
Li Banfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just needed to wait until 5:20, then make his escape, and then go find Shui Yongquan to ask for the things back. If Shui Yongquan refused...
Bang!
Li Banfeng flew out from behind the door and fell backward to the ground.
The two doors opened, about a foot wide.
Qiu Luoye stand outside the door.
He just kicked the barrier casually, sending Li Banfeng flying.
Li Banfeng immediately got up, rushed to the door, and closed both doors.
Bang!
With another kick, Li Banfeng flew out again.
The blow broke two of Li Banfeng's ribs, and he became somewhat disoriented.
Squeak squeak squeak~
The two large doors slowly opened, Li Banfeng immediately got up from the ground and rushed over to close them.
The gate must not be opened more than three feet, otherwise the barrier will disappear.
Bang!
The door panel slammed into Li Banfeng 'Li Banfeng face, causing him to bleed from his mouth and nose, and shattering his cheekbone.
He had just closed the gate when, in a fit of rage, the Qiu Luoye outside the barrier crashed into him.
Li Banfeng leaped into the air, flew a great distance, and landed heavily on the ground, breaking his leg.
"Damn it, that old dog Shui Yongquan only knows how to use this piece of junk!" Qiu Luoye was a little dizzy from the impact.
Squeak squeak squeak~
The two large doors opened again, nearly two feet apart.
It's almost three feet long...
Someone has to hold the door shut, otherwise the water will Water Falling Gate and make it grow bigger and bigger.
Li Banfeng never expected that he thought he had succeeded once the Water Falling Gate was erected.
He hadn't expected that holding the door open would be so difficult.
The calendar was in the grass, and the clock showed 5:18.
Two minutes left.
What can last for two minutes?
There's no hope.
That's all...
Whew~
Portable Abode, the record player's breathing was as faint as a wisp of smoke.
Red Lotus sighed, "You Wicked Woman, you've been a force to be reckoned with your whole life, but in the end you still couldn't survive this ordeal. I wonder if that madman is still alive?"
If he goes with you, it will be a happy ending for you both. What about me, trapped here for eternity?
Li Banfeng propped himself up in the tangled weeds; he was still alive.
His leg was broken, so he couldn't stand up. He struggled to crawl to the door with both hands.
He closed the door, pulled a vine from his waist, and threaded it through the two door knockers.
These vines are very strong; even a knife can't cut them.
He leaned against the door and tied himself to it with vines.
Bang!
The door shuddered, Li Banfeng vomited blood.
The blood tasted very fishy and salty.
Bang!
Qiu Luoye crashed into the barrier again.
Li Banfeng saw only darkness.
Bang!
Li Banfeng felt no pain; he felt nothing at all, only that blood was constantly gushing from his mouth.
Bang!
I don't know your name.
You probably don't know my name either.
Bang!
From the day we met, you called me husband, and I called you Wife.
Bang!
My Wife, wait for me to come back.
Bang!
When I returned that time, I invited Bagworm Moth Madam into the house.
Bang!
I'm so sorry.
Bang!
You escorted me to the outer room, and I stood outside the door, listening to you and Bagworm Moth Madam's desperate struggle...
I stood outside the door...
Bang!
I know you're fighting desperately against the bagworm moth.
You saved me, but I can't save you.
As a result, you were injured like that.
I'm so sorry...
Bang!
That time, I couldn't save you.
Bang!
This time, you must wait for me to come back.
Bang!
The vine broke.
Li Banfeng lay on the ground, his body mangled and bloody.
Squeak squeak squeak~
The door opened.
Qiu Luoye are right behind the door.
The door was opened two feet.
We need to close the door.
The time hasn't come yet.
We need to close the door.
The door shouldn't be opened more than three feet...
Li Banfeng's hands groped on the ground; he couldn't stand up.
He looked up, wanting to see the time on the calendar.
At the exit of the canyon, a gigantic body appeared.
Bagworm Moth Madam...
How could thinking of Bagworm Moth Madam lead to seeing Bagworm Moth Madam?
Hallucination?
It's not a hallucination.
Ma Wu rode the Yanzi and rushed to Li Banfeng's side.
"Water Falling Gate!" Yanzi recognized the Spiritual Object and immediately blocked the gate.
Bang!
Yanzi was bounced away slightly, Ma Wu stepped forward to close the gate.
Bang!
Ma Wu was thrown back by the shock, breaking his left arm. Zuo Wugang stepped forward and closed the door.
Bang!
Zuo Wugang took two steps back, and Xian Xian and Qiao Cui rushed up, the three moths blocking the gate together.
Bang!
Ma Wu rushed back again.
Bang!
Little Genzi and Little Chuanzi rushed up together and blocked the gate!
Bang!
Rumble!
After holding out for more than a minute, there was no more sound from outside the door.
The Qiu Luoye no longer collide?
He can't be pushed anymore?
There's no way he couldn't break through it.
The barrier at the gate has failed?
Li Banfeng glanced at the clock on the calendar.
5:19.
It's not even 5:20 yet.
How could that be...
There should still be time...
How could the Water Falling Gate possibly fail?
The sound of Shui Yongquan came from mid-air:
"Qiu Luoye, you've lost."
A flower appeared in Li Banfeng's hand, its petals swirling around the flower's center.
PS: My Wife, wait for Ban Feng to return.
