Xiaocao didn't say anything more, but Lin Yao could feel a sudden, enormous pressure hitting his body, almost making him lose his balance.
Horse stance, a horse stance that unleashes all of Lin Yao's power. Lin Yao stood firmly, wondering if the little grass was using its own strength to deflect the rocket. If the little grass were to use its other tentacles to gain leverage from the ground, it would require even greater ability from it.
It works!
Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised to see that the second batch of rockets had changed direction. Even by sight, he could tell that they had deviated from their original trajectory, and the angle of deviation was relatively large. It seemed unlikely that they would hit the intended target.
Continue! Lin Yao felt a second thrust and quickly increased his strength to stabilize his body. At this moment, the first batch of rockets had already hit the bus, and a huge explosion followed, accompanied by a violent shockwave.
The shockwave was blocked by Lin Yao's protective inner energy. Lin Yao continued to stabilize his body, and he needed to work with Xiao Cao to deal with the third wave of rockets.
Finally. Two seconds later, a third push came, but this time the push was much gentler. Perhaps the grass had gotten used to this operation. Lin Yao felt relieved because he felt that the Yi family members were saved.
With the pressure binding his body gone, Lin Yao knew that Xiao Cao had loosened her "binding" on him. It seemed that things had come to a perfect end, and he could finally sit down and rest.
As Lin Yao regained his composure, he suddenly realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat. It seemed he was still not used to this tense situation.

"Yaoyao, something's happened!"
Just as Lin Yao was about to catch his breath, he suddenly felt a tightness in his body. He was pulled up by the grass and shot down the hillside towards the road.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao asked nervously.
"The last car has had an accident, let's hurry over and save them." Xiaocao's answer was concise, and in a moment she was back on the road, flying towards the vehicles behind her.
Lin Yao noticed that the Yutong bus he had just been on had disappeared, leaving only a large pothole and numerous parts on the road, indicating that something must have been there before.
Lin Yao was certain that many of the Yi family members had already escaped before he left, and they had plenty of time, so the accident Xiao Cao mentioned definitely did not refer to the companions in this car.
The next one?
As the grass swiftly changed direction in mid-air, Lin Yao noticed that the second Yutong bus was also unharmed, with only thick smoke billowing from its original location, clearly the effect of a large number of rockets exploding.
Although it was late autumn, the dry weather should have easily caused forest fires. However, the humid heat in the south and the still dense forests were not suitable for burning. In addition, the unusual weather brought heavy rainfall in the past two days, so it only caused thick smoke and dust, and the forest was not destroyed by open flames.
The next vehicle appeared in sight unharmed, clearly demonstrating that Xiaocao's handling of the previous two waves of rockets was very effective, deflecting them both.
There were no Yi family members gathered next to the empty bus. With the danger still lingering, the Yi family members who had escaped would not make the mistake of making themselves a target again.
The car involved in the accident was the fourth one. Before even passing the third car, Lin Yao noticed thick smoke in the distance, smoke coming from the wrecked Yutong truck. There were also traces of explosions on both sides of the road, indicating that the area had been attacked by numerous rockets.
Xiao Cao pulled Lin Yao directly down the road. About ten meters away from the road, several members of the Yi family were gathered, crouching low. The surrounding bushes became a concealed obstacle. If Lin Yao hadn't been looking down from above, he wouldn't have noticed these members of the Yi family.
"The last batch of rockets was too fast, and I didn't have time to deflect them all." Xiao Cao instantly stopped Lin Yao next to the gathered Yi family members. "There's no one else around, so it should be safe."
"Get out of the way, I'll handle this." Lin Yao, no longer able to chat with Xiao Cao, shouted at the Yi family disciples who were blocking his way and instantly made defensive moves, "Is everything alright here? Are there any other wounded? Bring them all over."
The injured member of the Yi family was attacked by an explosion from the right. Judging from the wounds and the situation at the scene, he must have been lying on the ground after escaping, with his head facing the road, when the rocket-propelled grenade passed over him and exploded not far away.
His right shoulder and right back were mangled beyond recognition by the explosion; a large chunk of muscle in his shoulder was gone, the wounds showing that shrapnel had torn away that area of flesh. His right scapula was comminuted fractured, and his third, fourth, and fifth right ribs were also broken, with shrapnel embedded in his right back piercing his lung and causing massive bleeding.
Removing shrapnel, stopping the bleeding, and treating the wound. Lin Yao quickly saved the life of this member of the Yi family and then proceeded to treat the next patient.
According to reports, the accident occurred because the last bus delayed everyone's escape by five seconds when it stopped.
The most crucial thing is not those five seconds, but the reaction of the Yi family members after escaping.
According to Yi Potian's arrangement, the Yi family disciples with higher cultivation levels rode in the first car, and so on. In the fourth car, apart from a leading mid-stage Earth-level elder, the rest were all early-stage Earth-level disciples who had just been promoted. Many of these people had never seen Lin Yao, let alone heard his voice.
The leading elder happened to have come from western Hunan and had not had much contact with Lin Yao, so he was not very familiar with Lin Yao's voice.
Upon hearing Lin Yao's order, the elder carefully searched his memory and realized that he had indeed been misled by Lin Yao's voice when they met as guest elders. In the end, he still chose to believe the sudden order because the Heavenly-level Grand Elder Yi Potian was not far away. His belief that it was better to be safe than sorry led him to obey Lin Yao's order and save the people in the car.
This doubt and hesitation infected the Yi family members in the car. After receiving the order to escape, some of them lay in wait not far away, based on their experience. They judged that the rockets with lock-on capabilities would definitely hit their targets, and that moving a dozen meters away, combined with the terrain, would not cause them any harm. In fact, several members who were not vigilant enough did not move to defend themselves, and were thus pushed off course by Xiao Cao. However, the rockets that were locking onto and adjusting their flight exploded on both sides of the road, severely injuring five members.
Two people died and three were seriously injured; this was the result of the ambush.
After treating three seriously injured people, Lin Yao's anger was ignited like never before. Seeing his own people injured or even killed for the first time touched him like never before. Recalling his kidnapping experience and the subsequent report from Ge Yong that someone was watching Min Hong and his parents, a murderous impulse immediately burned his mind. He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill!
"Little Grass, let's go help Yi Potian." Lin Yao ignored the leading elder who looked remorseful in the firelight and briefly told Little Grass about his decision.
Flying through the air across the mountain stream, Lin Yao rushed towards the other side of the hillside. The information he received from the leading elder's walkie-talkie was that the First Elder, Yi Potian, had already led many Yi family disciples to pursue the attackers. The forces on the other side of the mountain stream were relatively weak, which was just the right time for Lin Yao to show off his skills.
The forests in the south are dense, the climate is warm, and there is plenty of rain. Wherever there are no large rocks, there are grasses, shrubs and various large trees.
The dense forest makes it difficult and strenuous to traverse, but this obstacle is ineffective against the Sky-class, because they can fly.
Lin Yao can also fly. He relies on the grass.
With the help of the grass, Lin Yao moved quickly through the forest like a giant spider. The uneven ground was supported by the grass's tendrils, allowing Lin Yao to levitate and fly. The tall trees were the best points of leverage for the grass's tendrils, giving them leverage to pull Lin Yao through the air and leap quickly.
Although the Jiang family's attackers were very familiar with this dense forest, their escape speed far exceeded that of the pursuing Yi family members. Apart from a few Yi family members at the mid-stage of the Earth level, the other pursuers were left far behind. If these fleeing Jiang family members hadn't been destined to return to the Jiang family headquarters for defense, the Yi family members would have even lost their way, since the night and dense forest are the best environments for escape.
Because he was treating the injured members of the Yi family, Lin Yao's start time was delayed by about twenty minutes, but this did not hinder his pursuit. At this moment, his ability was greater than that of the Great Elder Yi Potian, because Xiao Cao had tendrils that could extend a kilometer at any time to explore and find the direction along the Yi family members scattered in the dense forest.
In the darkness of the forest, a speed of twenty yards per minute is already extraordinary, but Lin Yao's speed directly increased to over fifty yards per minute. The wind whistled in his ears as he overtook one Yi family member after another. Ten minutes later, Lin Yao spotted three Jiang family members who had fallen behind.
