"If I'm not wrong, the mastermind has been following us for a long time and has surrounded us. Shouldn't we first consider how to get out of danger before talking about other things?"
Huangshan Mao looked quite smart, but he actually didn't think of this? Lin Yi only laughed because he felt that Huangshan Mao's attention was too easily diverted.
He should have thought of the follow-up ambush when he mentioned the other party's targeted conspiracy! After all, the nine-leaf Crimson Gold ginseng's goal was to increase the team's combat power, not to annihilate the entire team.
After killing the team's high-end combat power, there would definitely be a corresponding annihilation operation. This did not require any reasoning ability, and was an obvious thing.
In the end, when sixth brother woke up, Huangshan Mao, Jin ziduo and the rest actually started to ask about his well-being!
Please, you're about to be wiped out, what's the use of caring about the injured now! Wasn't it better to think of a countermeasure earlier?
The reason why the mastermind didn't attack immediately was probably because he didn't know if the nine-leaf red gold ginseng plan had succeeded. If it had, how many people had he killed?
Anyway, there was no hurry. The mastermind behind the scenes had a lot of patience to wait for the results. No matter how many experts died, as long as the remaining people left the cave, the difficulty of being ambushed would definitely be much lower than the difficulty of them attacking the cave.
Huangshan Mao was taken aback, and his face turned ugly. As the captain of an Adventure Team, his experience and wisdom couldn't be low, and with Lin Yi's reminder, he naturally understood everything!
Undeniably, Lin Yi was right. If he was the mastermind behind all this, he wouldn't just get the nine leaf red gold ginseng and everything would be over.
He had to follow them in the dark and wait for an opportunity to ambush them!
"Sixth brother, how's your current condition? Do you have the strength to fight?"
Huangshan Mao turned to sixth brother and asked in a deep voice,"If I haven't fully recovered, how long will it take? We're in a dangerous situation right now, so we can't lack your combat power!"
Although alchemists were considered weak in the same rank, but if they formed a battle formation, sixth brother's rank could still provide a significant boost. Especially since Huang shanmao's team had long been used to a battle formation of eight people, which was their strongest fighting force!
Without sixth brother, the seven-man battle formation could still fight, but its power would be greatly reduced. In such a critical moment, Huang shanmao did not dare to be careless. He had to use his full strength!
Sixth brother took out a few pills and threw them into his mouth like eating jelly beans. He crushed them and swallowed them in one bite, then replied,""Don't worry! Give me the time it takes to brew a cup of tea and let me circulate the medicinal power of the pill. I'll be able to recover to my best state!"
Being poisoned would indeed make sixth brother weak, but the poison had already been cleared. If he used a few medicinal pills to recover without caring about the cost, it would not have much of an impact.
In any case, the sixth brother was only forming a battle formation to provide amplification. In a real head-on battle, he didn't need to risk his life. The gold Tudor would be the main attacker!
Huangshan Mao nodded, and Yan SU's expression relaxed slightly, "That's good. The rest of you, get ready. Adjust your condition to the peak and get ready to fight at any time!"
"Yes!"
Jin ziduo and the others agreed in unison. They did not cower in the face of danger. Perhaps it was because they knew that there was no way to retreat and they could only fight to the death!
Previously, he had entered the cave to safely consume the nine-leaf red gold ginseng. Now that he knew that there was an ambush behind him, it immediately became the stinky move.
The cave was easy to defend and hard to attack, but it was also a land of death. To put it bluntly, Huang shanmao and the rest were simply turtles in a jar!
Huang shanmao glanced at Lin Yi, a strange emotion in his eyes, but he didn't say anything to Lin Yi. Instead, he gave orders to the other three newbies, including Qin wunian.
"You three, protect Sima Zhongda with all your might! In a moment, we will form a battle formation to clear the way. You don't need to participate, just protect him and follow behind us!"
"We've fallen into the enemy's trap this time. It'll definitely be a fierce battle when we get out. In a situation where the enemy is in the dark while we're out in the open, we can't linger in the battle. Therefore, we must prioritize breaking out of the encirclement!"
"Sima Zhong DA's combat strength is not strong, but his abilities in medicine are very precious. You must protect him well! At the same time, you must follow us closely and don't fall behind! If you fall behind, we might not have the chance to come back and save you!"
Huangshan Mao's intention was very obvious, to form a group to protect the healer!
The three newcomers, including Qin wunian, were recruited as cannon fodder, and Lin Yi was the same. However, after displaying his value, Huang shanmao naturally had a different plan in mind.
Lin Yi couldn't be hurt, and it didn't matter if the other three died-as long as they protected Lin Yi, they wouldn't feel bad even if the other three died!
As the team leader, Huang shanmao had regained his calm and had a clear plan in his mind. He knew nothing about the enemy's situation, so breaking out was the only choice!
Even if he wanted to take revenge, he would have to wait.
"Understood!"
Qin wunian nodded in agreement, and Shi Gandang and the other newbie could only follow suit. However, their expressions weren't too good, as if they weren't too happy that Lin Yi had become someone they needed to protect!
Lin Yi only smiled, not making any comments. These three mountain opening realm martial artists, how much protection could they provide?
The mastermind had calculated the possibility of the nine leaf Crimson Gold ginseng's poison killing plan failing, and then calculated the battle strength of all the people on this side to their peak state, arranging for a force that could absolutely crush them to deal with it.
Three mountain split cultivators, four including Lin Yi, were probably just cannon fodder in the eyes of the enemy.
Huangshan Mao turned to look at the Black Spirit Ferghana horse on the other side, his face revealing a pained expression, "Let's leave these Black Spirit Ferghana horses here for the time being! We need to use our full strength to break out of the encirclement, and we can't leave on our horses!"
Outside the cave was a dense forest environment, and riding the Black Spirit Ferghana horse would not be able to unleash the power of the battle formation. At the same time, it would not be very convenient to break out of the encirclement and escape.
If they were in the plains and wilderness without the Black Spirit Ferghana horse, there was an 80 - 90% chance that they would fail to break out of the encirclement. However, in the dense forest, it would be more agile to abandon the Mount, and the chances of breaking out of the encirclement and escaping would also be higher.
For the sake of his life, he could only give up on the Black Spirit Ferghana horses!
Qin wunian secretly cursed his bad luck. He was here to ride the Black Spirit Ferghana horse, but after riding it for such a short time, he was about to abandon it ...
Everyone nodded in silence. They all understood that this was a helpless move. As long as they could escape, it wouldn't be too difficult to find another Mount. At most, they could just snatch some!
After everything was arranged and sixth brother had recovered, Qin wunian shouted with a cold face,""Let's go!"
The old members of the group tacitly took out their weapons and formed a battle formation. With Jin ziduo as the vanguard and yellow-robed luxuriant man in the middle, they strode out.
He did not remove the formation he had set up. This was his last escape route. If he failed to break out, Huang shanmao still wanted to retreat to the cave and use the geographical advantage to defend.
