The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2758 Plans and Means

The fireflies' attack continued, and everyone was busy fighting back against them.

Everyone felt that even though the number of fireflies was much smaller than the number of mosquitoes in the previous few days, they were still more difficult to deal with than mosquitoes.

After all, no one expected that the fireflies here could actually explode, but mosquitoes were not, they just wanted to suck blood with their mouthparts. There was a big difference between the two in nature, so no matter how many mosquitoes there were, they could still be dealt with, but not fireflies.

They rushed up one by one and exploded directly. This made everyone who wanted to catch fireflies not let them get close. They could only detonate them when they flew over. Otherwise, they would be blown up after getting close. An attack equivalent to the first level of the acquired realm could be endured once, but what about two or three times?

If there are too many of them, there will be no way to deal with them.

Therefore, it was very difficult for everyone to deal with fireflies.

The other three families saw what happened to the Han and Ouyang families just now, but they also had the same thoughts as the Han family. They really wanted to use the branch. After all, a branch could drive away the attacking fireflies, so the defense range would be much smaller.

Just look at the Ma family and you will know that since they got a branch, dealing with fireflies has become much easier. Even many warriors have gradually recovered and no more injuries have occurred. Moreover, the elder of the Ma family, this innate master, has also become much more at ease than before.

But other families, including the Qian family, are now in a state of panic. Every warrior's blood and qi are exhausted, and the replenishment cannot keep up with the consumption. Gradually, people will be injured, and if this continues, someone may even die.

At this moment, all the warriors were looking at the Ouyang family and the branch, wondering if they could take it over, maybe they would be better off.

Qian Ying felt that this was a very critical time, so he was thinking, should he ask for branches from the Ouyang family, or even the one from the Ma family, and then get the Qian family to agree and arrange it, and have several families use it in turn, wouldn't that be better?
Thinking of this, Qian Ying looked towards the Ouyang family, and his heart was moved. But asking for the branch now was a bit too much. After all, the branch was brought by the Ouyang family, and they also lent one to the Ma family. If he asked for the branch from the Ouyang family, it might be a bit unreasonable.

If it was someone else, it would be easy, like Han Chengye, who might be able to get it if he went up to make a scene. But if it was Qian Ying, it would be hard to say, after all, he was the leader of the entire team, and he couldn't do anything unfair.

Otherwise, when something happens later, the members of other families will not obey.

Otherwise, you can use the excuse of asking for the Ma family's branches, so that you can also ask for the Ouyang family's branches, and then in the name of fairness and justice, let each family take turns using the branches. Wouldn't that be more face-saving?
In secret, the Qian family can also use it for a longer period of time. Thinking of this, he also looked at the distance, which was the location of the tiankeng, but because of the darkness, he couldn't see far.

Although the fireflies deserved to die, they illuminated the entire surrounding area, which was a good thing in a bad situation.

Qian Ying retracted his gaze and decided in his heart that if the man hadn't come back after a while, he would start to implement the method he had just thought of. After all, the main goal was to survive. If there were too many casualties, the mission might not be carried out.

As time went on, more and more people were injured in the circle of warriors defending. It was like a vicious cycle, people were injured by fireflies, and then fewer people were defending, which increased the chances of others being attacked, and then caused others to get injured again.

The weaker the people, the more injured they were. Now the remaining ones were all strong. Moreover, at this time, one of the Han family warriors died because of untimely rescue. Even the warriors who were covering the surroundings were injured, so they were directly attacked by the fireflies and could not dodge in time, and one was sent away.

Suddenly, Han Chengye and Han Chengwen's eyes turned red. They looked at the many family warriors, looked at each other, and made up their minds to take action to snatch the branch of the Ouyang family. As for the branch of the Ma family, there was no need to think about it. They were not stupid. Both of them were at the tenth level of the acquired realm, while Ma Sanxing was at the first level of the innate realm. They could not beat them, they could not beat them at all. How could they possibly snatch the branch of the Ma family?
But at this time, Qian Ying shouted to Ouyang Nan: "Ouyang Nan, your family's Li Mo, how long has he been gone? Why hasn't he come back yet? Everyone is a little fed up!"

Qian Ying's words made the warriors from other families empathize with him. Yes, some of them couldn't hold on any longer.

Ouyang Nan frowned when he heard Qian Ying's words. Dealing with the fireflies was already a bit hectic, but fortunately, because of the branches, the family warriors were also fine. Although there were injuries, they were all minor and there were few injured people.

But Qian Ying's words made her feel awkward. All the warriors who participated in the battle of the Ten Thousand Silver Silk Trees knew where the tiankeng was located. The round trip might take more than six hours according to the warriors' speed. Now only less than three hours had passed. Why were they rushing?

Ouyang Nan is not a naive person. He immediately thought about why Qian Ying yelled at him, because the Ouyang family still has a branch.

Before Ouyang Nan could speak, Qian Ying shouted again: "Ouyang Nan, the people who went to get the branches can't come back in time, but everyone is in great danger now. Can we discuss it? Based on the principles of fairness, justice and openness, we can collect the branches of your family and the branches of the Ma family, and then let each family take turns to use them. This will also allow each family to have some time to relax, so they can hold on longer."

After hearing this, Ouyang Nan felt helpless. Sure enough, they were planning to take this branch, and they even said something nice, something fair and just, damn it, if it was fair, then don't mention the branch, the branch belongs to the Ouyang family, okay.

But she couldn't say what she was thinking, so she could only find an excuse and delay it temporarily. She also hoped that Li Mo would come back soon.

Before she could reply, Zhou Zixing shouted, "Elder Qian's proposal is very good. I support it."

The Zhou family was also having a hard time, with several people injured. Fortunately, because of his high strength, no one had been sent away. So they gritted their teeth and were able to deal with the Fireflies, but they couldn't hold on for long. Hearing Qian Ying's words, he naturally understood what Qian Ying was planning.

However, it was also a good thing for him. After all, if the Qian family could use it for a period of time, then the Zhou family could also use it for a period of time. Unless Qian Ying was shameless and only cared about his family using it, but this was impossible. Later, he would have to rely on the help of these families to explore this place together.

Ma Sanxing rolled his eyes when he heard Qian Ying's shouting, and was extremely unwilling. But when he thought of Qian Ying's strength, Zhou Zixing, and other warriors from other families, he suppressed his unwillingness. After all, there were so many warriors now, and the branch in his hand was obtained from the Ouyang family. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn't say it clearly, and it all depended on how Ouyang Nan handled the matter.

"Haha! Elder Qian's suggestion is very good, and my Han family also supports it." Han Chengye quickly echoed Qian Ying's call, and said to Ouyang Nan: "Ouyang Nan, did you hear what Elder Qian said? Why don't you hand over the branches quickly and let everyone use them in turn? This is what a team should do."

"Damn Han Chengye, do I need you to argue with me when I do things?" Ouyang Nan said harshly, actually venting her anger. But she had no choice, Qian Ying also made it clear that if the Ouyang family and the Ma family handed over all the branches, then she would have to hand them over.

After all, his strength here is only at the tenth level of acquired realm, while Qian Ying's strength is at the third level of innate realm, so naturally they are different.

Besides, whether there are branches or not, the three innate families protect the Ouyang family and the Han family in a protective circle, which also reduces the frequency of being attacked by fireflies accordingly. Ouyang Nan has to take responsibility for this benefit.

Therefore, Ouyang Nan could only try to delay it for a while. He shouted to Qian Ying, "Elder Qian, it's fine if you let us hand over the branches to you. But you still need to tell us how long each family can use the branches, and how to rotate them. What if a family that doesn't get a turn is in danger?"

After hearing this, Qian Ying was speechless. He hadn't made a plan yet, but he couldn't tell Ouyang Nan about it. He could only say, "Ouyang Nan, the situation is quite critical now, so I can't think of a good plan. I can only use it first according to which family needs it the most. Once the crisis is resolved, the next family will use it. What do you think?"

He did not mention the rotation time, but he actually just wanted to use it for a while longer so that his warriors could recover better.

After hearing this, Ouyang Nan could only laugh, feeling helpless. This was the problem of being weak. If he was strong and had a congenital master, then why would he waste words and just refuse. This was his own branch, why should he let everyone use it, especially in such a dangerous place?
For a moment, there was no other sound except the sound of the fireflies' wings and the sound of explosions. Everyone was waiting for Ouyang Nan's reply.

Ouyang Ruoxi understood Qian Ying's words just now, as well as those of other family members, but she could not say anything, nor could she make any decisions. After all, the leader of the Ouyang family was Ouyang Nan, and facing the innate master, her aunt could only compromise.

But she was thinking in her heart, it would be great if Chen Mo was here, at least she would have confidence, after all, Chen Mo was also a congenital master.

Hey! Ah Mo, please come back soon.

Looking back again, Ouyang Ruoxi saw something moving faintly in the darkness in the distance, and immediately thought to herself, could it be that A'mo has returned?
