In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 41 No.40 One
team leader!

Baili Shouyue was pleasantly surprised that Hua Mulan resisted the black sand king snake by herself!

Seeing Wu Nan and Kai fighting, he didn't realize that Hua Mulan was breaking free.

There is only one chance, and Wu Nan must not be noticed here.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

Baili Shouyue fired three shots in a row, and his marksmanship pierced Yang with a hundred steps. However, since Wu Nan saw through the concealment method, Wu Nan would take precautions against all his attacks in advance.

The three bullets were all blocked by Wu Nan's magic jade shield.

Wu Nan stretched out his hand and grabbed a large piece of jade from the magic jade shield: "Since you are in a hurry to seek death, I will help you!"

"call out--!"

The magic jade whizzed out and turned into six daggers in the air!

His life was hanging by a thread, but Baili Shouyue was staring at the big shield in Wu Nan's hand.

He clearly noticed that the shield had become thinner!
He had noticed before that every time Wu Nan split the magic jade to attack, it would reduce the number of magic jade around him, which seemed to mean that the total amount of magic jade that Wu Nan could control was limited.

These magic jades of his should have been specially refined by him, and they are already similar to puppets, and can be manipulated like arms and fingers.

Restricted by Wu Nan's ability, the total amount of magic jade is only so much, and the farther he is from Wu Nan, the weaker his control over the magic jade will be.

"Puff puff!"

Baili Shouyue twisted his body at the last moment to avoid the vital parts of his body, but there were still two daggers piercing Baili Shouyue's shoulders and thighs!
"This half-demon, life is really tough." Wu Nan knew very well that Baili kept his promise because he relied on the sensory ability of the half-demon, who could dodge in an instant and cause him the least injury.

But even so, he was just dying.

The corner of Baili Shouyue's mouth was bleeding, but there was a smile in his eyes. He saw that Hua Mulan, his captain, finally came out.

The heavy sword broke through the black shell, and then Hua Mulan stretched out two powerful palms, tearing the spherical shell apart.

At this moment, Hua Mulan also saw Baili keeping the promise.

I saw Kai fighting fiercely with Wu Nan.

Baili Shouyue had sword wounds all over his body, and one leg seemed to have lost the ability to move.

And Kai has been demonized, his whole body is covered in blood, and he has suffered heavy injuries. Although his attack is still brave, his movements have gradually slowed down.

Damn!

Hua Mulan blamed herself, if he hadn't been surrounded by this black shell and wasted too much time, how could he have ended up like this.

She grabbed her epee and was about to rush up to support Kai, but at this moment, Hua Mulan saw Baili Shouyue crossed his hands from a distance, and made a stop gesture.

what?
Baili told me not to attack?

Hua Mulan was stunned for a moment. She didn't know the current situation on the battlefield. In comparison, Baili Shouyue had been fighting Wunan all the time. Of course, Baili Shouyue knew Wunan's abilities better.

Hua Mulan has been cooperating with Baili for so many days, and she has deeply trusted this teammate. Even now that Kai's life is at stake, she did not act immediately.

She saw that Baili Shouyue drew a rhombus in the air with his fingertips facing each other.

diamond?

Hua Mulan turned her head and glanced at Wu Nan, the diamond-shaped thing was that big jade shield!
Is Baili reminding me to pay attention to this large jade shield?

The sign language from the beginning to the end, this kind of silent communication is obviously to avoid Wu Nan, and the position where Hua Mulan tore off the black shell, because her back is facing Wu Nan, is also in the blind spot of Wu Nan's vision.

There is no doubt that in Baili Shouyue's view, there is only one chance to attack.

But what does Baili mean?
Finally, Hua Mulan saw that Baili made a small "X" on her right lower abdomen, and then Baili pointed at herself.

This "×" is...

weakness! ?
Suddenly, Hua Mulan had a feeling in her heart. The three seemingly incomprehensible gestures made Hua Mulan aware of Baili's possible intention of keeping the contract.

This is an indescribable tacit understanding.

Maybe she got it wrong, but at this time, I can only take a gamble!
"Armor! Knock him into the air!"

Baili Shouyue suddenly shouted!
Kai's figure paused, he obviously heard Baili Shouyue's shout, his blazing blue eyes were a little confused at that moment, but then became firm again.

He tightly grasped the handle of the knife that had become sticky due to the blood, and drew out the knife! !
Wu Nan suddenly felt something was wrong. He didn't know what Baili Shouyue was up to, so he could only use all his energy to resist Kai's final pounce!
At the same time, he paid attention to Baili's promise-keeping actions.

But this also made him more and more ignore Hua Mulan hiding behind the black shell, which was a corner he couldn't pay attention to.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

The crisp gunshots echoed among the clusters of jade mines.

Baili Shouyue dragged his seriously injured body and shot three times in a row!

This is Baili's covenant-keeping trick, and it is also the strongest attack he can use.

Come again?

There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of Wu Nan's mouth, what's the use of using exactly the same moves, even if he faced the motives of the two at the same time.

With a thought in his mind, the large diamond-shaped shield in front of him moved horizontally, directly blocking Baili's bullets.

No matter how many shots it took, it would be futile in front of the large-area defensive diamond-shaped shield, block them all!
But at the same time, in a corner that Wu Nan didn't notice, Hua Mulan had already spotted Wu Nan, holding an epee, and stretched out to the outside.

With her body twisted and her feet on the ground, she had accumulated all her strength and exploded at this moment!
"Whoosh!!"

The epee weighing dozens of kilograms was thrown out by Hua Mulan with all her strength!
Hua Mulan has always thrown a light sword, this is the only time she threw an epee!

And her attack target is... Wu Nan's lower abdomen on the right side!
To be precise, it is the location of the "×" drawn by Baili Shou promise!

This is what she understood, whether right or wrong.

The distance of tens of meters was fleeting, when Wu Nan heard the whistling of the sword wind, Hua Mulan's epee was already in sight!
what! ?

Wu Nan immediately tried to recall his shield, but his shield had already been used to defend against Baili Shouyue's gunshots, so the speed of recall slowed down slightly.

It was this slow time that made Wu Nan's whole body cold.

Hua Mulan……

Wasn't she sealed by the black sand king snake?How is this possible! ?
The epee crossed the void and shot into Wu Nan's right lower abdomen!

Flesh and star-patterned iron were torn apart by the epee without any fanfare, and there was nothing that could resist Hua Mulan's terrifying power.

Penetrate and enter!

Wu Nan's body was brought out by the huge inertia of the epee, and flew directly onto the jade ore wall.

Boom!

The epee penetrated deeply into the stone wall, nailing Wu Nan to the wall.

Wu Nan's magic jade shield had just been recalled at this time, but... it was meaningless.

Wu Nan was stunned. He stared blankly at the position of his lower right abdomen, the piercing wound pierced all over his body, which was completely different from the first time Baili Shouyue pierced his body with bullets.

In this position, the jade that he used to carry his memory was placed!
It is also the core of his soul.

An epee pierced through and shattered the jade!

The expression on Wu Nan's face was almost frozen, he looked at Hua Mulan...

Why... can you break free...

And why... know...

Hua Mulan looked at Baili Shouyue, and Baili Shouyue pointed to a circular mechanism on the scales of the black python.

"The eye of observation... When I attacked you before, I could see clearly even the hidden things, not to mention the energy fluctuations in jade, just like you noticed the little jade next to Hua Mulan."

Baili Shouyue moved his lips lightly, and finished speaking silently.

Wunan's strongest is defense, the magic jade shield, defense without dead ends.

In addition, I am afraid that Wu Nan's body's weakness is also protected.

Only with Hua Mulan's extraordinary strength can she penetrate this defense in one go.

And Baili Shou's attack was just a cover to lure Wu Nan to block with the magic jade shield.

There is an upper limit to the number of magic jade controlled by Wu Nan, and it is no longer able to resist Hua Mulan's epee.

There is only one chance, whether Hua Mulan misunderstood, or they failed to cooperate, the result is a dead end.

However, the goddess of fate, after all, favored them.

"Bah!"

The jade in Wu Nan's body completely shattered at this moment...

Wu Nan looked unwillingly at the black sand king snake not far away, his eyes gradually lost focus.

Wu Nan, die!
As for the black sand king snake, without Wunan and the supply of life energy, it lost the ability to move.

The quicksand rolled, and the huge black python's head slowly sank into it.

But at this time, his whole body was covered with wounded armor, which had already lost his strength. The magic armor on his body turned into blue dust and disappeared. He was holding an epee and fell heavily to the ground.

Hua Mulan walked over to support Kai's body, she looked at Baili Shouyue, and Baili Shouyue also looked at her.

The two were speechless.

ended……

For Hua Mulan, this battle seemed to take her life away...

In the end she still... won.

……

Before I knew it, it was already dawn.

The three of Hua Mulan were exhausted to the point of collapse, and with the help of Ligu, the girls were rescued one after another.

They also found the sand boat left by the anaconda not far away.

It has been somewhat damaged, and a lot of sand has entered the core power mechanism, but Ligu is confident that it can be repaired within a day.

This sand boat will be regarded as Ligu's in the future, which makes Ligu very motivated.

……

The sunrise in the desert, the golden sun dyed the sand, and the undulating sand dunes in the distance were coated with a layer of sharp golden edges by the sunlight. Hua Mulan, Kai, and Baili Shouyue walked on the yellow sand, heading towards the east. Walking toward the sun, the sun cast long shadows behind them.

There has never been a quieter moment than now.

Baili Shouyue just turned over a sand dune, stepped on the broken sand, and the quicksand rushed down.

Baili Shouyue had a wound on his leg, and the wound hurt when he walked, so he simply didn't go, and lay directly on the sand dune, looking at the magnificent and gorgeous desert sun in the east.

"There's an oasis ahead."

Hua Mulan pointed, and there is a small meandering river faintly visible between the sand dunes on the horizon. Looking from a distance, the sparkling blue waves water the Populus euphratica on both banks. The meandering branches and leaves are connected together like a dragon swimming. .

"I said Captain." Baili Shouyue crossed his hands on the back of his head.

"Ok?"

"I heard that you never wanted to be the captain. You have been a soldier for ten years. Why?"

When Baili Shouyue asked, Kai also pricked up his ears to listen.

After a long silence, Hua Mulan said, "I have always served in the army for my adoptive father. My adoptive father gave me his sword. To me, the epee is like my father. Seeing this sword, I remembered my mission, but..."

"This mission has always been given to me by my adoptive father. Although I have been undertaking it, I don't know why."

"I don't want to be the captain because I don't think I have the awareness of a soldier. I fight and kill the enemy, but I just want to be myself."

"I don't have the ability to only be a soldier. I am afraid that if I make a wrong decision, my brothers will die by my side. Therefore, I am always just a soldier."

Hua Mulan opened her heart for the first time, she just looked at the oasis without looking back.

Baili Shouyue quietly chewed on Hua Mulan's words, and after a long time, he asked slowly: "What about now? Did you say before that you will resign when you go back, and you won't be the captain anymore?"

"Well, resign!" Hua Mulan said without thinking.

"Why?" Baili Shouyi was puzzled.

Hua Mulan suddenly turned her head, and she smiled, revealing a bright smile that was very rare on her body, even Baili Shouyue felt that Hua Mulan was a bit playful at this moment.

"I think... I can also try to be a general!"
