God left

Now Huangzhong holds the highest decision-making power is Qi Yuan transferred from the Chang'an sub-altar and Xiao Xia sent by Jianzong. There are many who do not know him.

Qi Yuan was always a chatterbox, and working with Xiao Xia was like singing a single-reed show to him. Xiao Xia didn't even bother to do superficial work, and left immediately after finishing the business, and didn't say a word of nonsense.

Fortunately, there is still a lively Shi Lian, Shi Huan, who has already met him in Chang'an, who is polite and polite on the surface, but actually doesn't want to talk to you at all.

At this time, the Huangzhong city was in a mess, and the incident happened suddenly. They urgently assigned more than a dozen disciples to the inner city to evacuate the people, and the rest took turns to guard the tower.

Huangzhong was attacked non-stop for two days. The people in the city almost reached the critical point, and the whole city seemed dead silent.

In the entire city tower, only the wounded and the dead could be seen being carried up and down, and the blood on the gray and white stone steps had solidified and remained still, like a strange pattern.

There are a total of 3000 disciples from each faction, and after two days, there are only less than [-] left.There are less than [-] sets of armor in the warehouse that can withstand poisonous arrows. The time of peace is too long, and the management of the local sub-altar is neglected. For many years, the weapons and armor are only superficial, and there are not many disciples who come down from the main altar to check every year. Take care, and if things go on like this for a long time, when you really want to go to the battlefield, you will find that you don't even have a good sword.

Fortunately, when they were transferred to Huangzhong, just in case they delivered food, grass and bows and arrows a few times, otherwise they would have shot empty arrows long ago.

Although those demon soldiers attacked ferociously, their number was also decreasing sharply. After two days, their movements also gradually weakened, but the city did not dare to relax at all.

In the evening, Qi Yuan seized the time to call a few people in for a discussion. Everyone was exhausted, not to mention sleeping, and they didn't even have time to wipe off the cannon fodder rubbed on their faces.

Shi Lian collapsed by the table, Xiao Xia listened to their analysis for a while, and suddenly said: "Don't you think there is something wrong with those demon soldiers?"

Shi Huan immediately raised his eyes, and Qi Yuan said: "It's true that something is wrong. Whether it's a demon or a demon, there is no reason not to be afraid of death. Today we set up all the artillery, and they can retreat first, so they just resisted. His arms and legs were blown off, and he was still moving forward."

Shi Huan raised his hand slightly, trying to attract their attention, and then said: "I don't think those are monster soldiers, but puppets."

In fact, they had already guessed this in their hearts, but they were not sure. Xiao Xia said: "If it is true, considering the current situation, when these puppets are exhausted, we will lose the battle."

He paused, and then said, "I just don't know how to kill these things completely."

Shi Lian looked at them on his stomach, and said, "Aren't those things getting less and less these days? Is this considered dead?"

Qi Yuan said: "I don't know, who knows if they are like iron utensils, as long as there is a master, they can be repaired and then used again."

Shi Lian shuddered: "How can this be finished..."

Shi Huan's eyes lit up: "I think their puppets must be limited. You see, we are human beings, and we can't bear consumption, but if we consume it, it will kill us. If I take advantage of the victory and pursue it, I will be able to do it in two days." Take Huangzhong——Obviously, we are almost exhausted, and we will definitely not be able to hold back."

Xiao Xia looked at him: "What do you think?"

Shi Huan said: "Just take a gamble, it's only tomorrow. I took a general look today and found that their number is less than half compared to the beginning. Tomorrow, we will take out everything. If we can't kill them all this time, they will die." We are gone. Can't consume any more."

Xiao Xia frowned and looked at him: "I disagree, it's too risky to bet all on one guess."

Qi Yuan hesitated for a while, and said, "It's really too risky, and we only have less than 1000 people left..."

He sighed, and continued: "Just let us be martyrs. There are still so many people in the city. If we lose, our lives will be ruined."

Shi Huan gritted his teeth, wanted to say something, but pursed his lips again without opening his mouth.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly cooled down, Qi Yuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "We are close to Chengzhou, and the red smoke has been lit for two days. They must be thinking of a way for us, right——"

He turned to Shi Lian: "Isn't your brother also in Chengzhou? He won't ignore it, let me see, you guys go back to sleep for a while, you really can't take it anymore."

Xiao Xia also rarely said soft words: "The letter for help has also been sent, and it will be fine after a few more days."

Shi Huan looked tense, and said, "Even if we fight hard, how many days can we carry it? There are not many pairs of armor in the warehouse. No more, the whole city has been emptied..."

Qi Yuan shouted at him, interrupted him and said, "What are you afraid of! If there is no cinnabar, use blood. If the iron armor is broken, repair it. If it can't be repaired, use iron to cover it. So many of us can't die in vain! Take out the magic weapon, things are dead, people are alive, and we haven't reached the point where we have to put all our eggs in one basket."

Shi Huan lowered his head, made a difficult swallowing movement, and was silent for a while before saying, "Got it."

Xiao Xia also said: "Don't be so pessimistic, there is still hope before our people die. Since we are here, keeping Huangzhong is the only goal."

Qi Yuan knew that what he said was serious, and said again: "I'm not attacking you, everything on the battlefield is unknown, and what we hold in our hands is not only our own life, we can only be more cautious."

With both hands on the table, he said wearily, "Go to sleep, I will be busy again in a few hours."

They walked out in silence, and Shi Lian asked Shi Huan in a low voice: "Shi Huan, do you think we can still see the brothers and the others?"

Shi Huan patted him heavily, Shi Lian was the youngest among them, Shi Huan could only comfort him and said: "Don't say bad words, it will be fine."

Shi Lian smiled at him: "Brother knows we are here, so he will definitely find a way to help us. This year has not been a good one, and we will have to make up for it later."

Shi Huan's face was frighteningly pale, and he said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, let senior brother treat you..."

The more he talked, the more uneasy he felt, and he patted Shilian's shoulder again: "Go back to sleep, it'll be fine if you get over it."

Jiang Lizhou and Lin Qinghe jumped off the cliff in the white star lantern, and there was a long and gentle stream under the cliff. According to Jiang Lizhou's experience, regardless of the illusion or the world, mountains have no momentum and water has no source, and this stream comes from the cliff Waterfall, then this cliff is definitely the junction of the world and the world.

They walked along the stream, with the crimson moon always above their heads, covering them like a huge shadow, making them uncomfortable all over.

Because Jiang Lizhou couldn't see, he would be more sensitive to the perception of things around him, so he stopped suddenly: "Don't move—what's in front of you?"

Lin Qinghe also only felt the danger intuitively, but saw nothing: "It's the same as here under our feet, nothing else."

Another cluster of fire sprang out from Jiang Lizhou's fingers, he felt it silently for a while, and asked him, "Is there any wind?"

Lin Qinghe saw the fire between his fingers tremble slightly: "Yes, it came from behind you."

Jiang Lizhou smiled: "Then let's move on."

Lin Qinghe glanced back, only to realize that the road they walked just now had been merged into the vague darkness, and under the influence of the red moon, it looked like a monster.

Before he looked back, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing past. Instinctively, a gleaming white long sword appeared in his hand. Jiang Lizhou held a cluster of fire in his hand. The fire seemed to hit something soft, and with a short scream, countless black and thin skeletons emerged from the surrounding darkness, like corpses crawling out of the ground. The mist was pushed away by their sharp fingertips, and they crawled out one after another.

After a while, Lin Qinghe and Jiang Lizhou were tightly surrounded by these things. Someone among these black and thin skeletons screamed, and the skeletons immediately rushed towards them as if they had received an order.

Shang Ting suddenly appeared in Jiang Lizhou's hand, and he waved his hand to ignite a big fire, making those skeletons scream. Lin Qinghe's wrist moved quickly, and the bursts of cold light sliced ​​the crawling skeletons into pieces. .

It's just that these skeletons are like the incarnation of the black mist, and they can't be killed no matter what.

Lin Qinghe approached Jiang Lizhou and said in a low voice, "You can't kill like this, you won't be able to kill them all in one lifetime."

Jiang Lizhou's breath was also a little hurried, and he said, "What do these things look like?"

Lin Qinghe looked around carefully, and said in surprise: "It looks familiar—slim and small, with big eyes... No, it seems that there are no eyes!"

Lin Qinghe looked back at Jiang Lizhou and said, "This is... a human gu!"

Jiang Lizhou smiled at him: "I'm an old acquaintance."

A thought came to Lin Qinghe's mind. He looked at Jiang Lizhou and said, "There should be someone who takes the lead among them. Just now, someone started attacking us with a bewitching cry."

Jiang Lizhou hummed: "It seems that the hit I just casually irritated them."

Lin Qinghe gave him a quick hug and said, "Let's hurry up."

The Shang Ting in Jiang Lizhou's hand was turned into bursts of flames by him. He bent down and struck suddenly, setting off a raging fire on the ground. Seeing a skeleton retreating, he slashed his palm with the tip of his toe, and the skeletons around the human gu quickly and spontaneously blocked it, and were chopped into pieces.

Jiang Lizhou sensed his movement and immediately understood it. As his position kept changing the attack direction, the human Gu circled in a big circle until Jiang Lizhou burned the entire area into a sea of ​​flames. It was still hidden in a large pile of people. Gu Zhong refused to show his face.

Lin Qinghe's pursuit just now drove these human Gu to one place. He saw that it was almost done, and called Jiang Lizhou. Jiang Lizhou's thumb brushed against the stick, and instantly set off a billowing fire. The white light on Lin Qinghe's hand somehow turned into a long rope. , trap these human Gu inside, as long as they take half a step outside, there will be a thunderbolt falling.

A burst of fire ignited by Jiang Lizhou raised his hand and burned all these human Gu, and the human Gu that was rushing from the darkness to the battlefield screamed and melted into bone foam.

Jiang Lizhou listened carefully and asked, "Are they all dead?"

Lin Qinghe took a deep breath and came over to pull him: "Dead."

Jiang Lizhou handed over his face: "Reward."

Lin Qinghe kissed him on the face with a smile, and looked around: "It doesn't seem to have changed?"

Jiang Lizhou raised his eyebrows: "Go ahead and have a look."

After they walked a few steps, they heard the sound of running water in the creek next to them getting louder and louder. It didn't seem like a stream, but a turbulent river.

Jiang Lizhou pulled him, turned his head and said, "The real guy is coming out."

Lin Qinghe tugged at his sleeve and said softly, "Don't move rashly."

Jiang Lizhou clicked his tongue: "Don't move."

Lin Qinghe was terribly frightened by him, and the shadow lingered, for fear that even if a man-eating beast sprang out from under the water, this one would poke his throat.

The stream water became more and more lively, and had already splashed onto the mud bank. Jiang Lizhou took half a step back in disgust, and said, "Do you smell anything suspicious?"

Lin Qinghe sniffed it carefully, frowned and said, "It seems to have a rotten smell."

Jiang Lizhou covered his mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice, "Is this a little bit?"

Lin Qinghe also smelled the smell getting stronger and stronger, pulled him into his arms, and said in a low voice: "It can't be..."

Jiang Lizhou's expression was also ugly, and he said, "It's unlikely that one... will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stream instantly swelled into a water curtain several feet high, and a deafening roar suddenly appeared from the water.

They were almost unable to stand still, and took a few steps back, and saw a giant snake rising from the mist of the small stream that was several steps wide, with two wings on its back, and its body was dark yellow, hovering over the stream for a while, condescendingly facing them confrontation.

Jiang Lizhou's clothes were splashed wet, he patted him and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Qinghe squeezed his hand uncertainly, and said in a low voice, "It seems to be... a snake."

Jiang Lizhou paused, and said, "Then you are both considered beasts, how about a relationship?"

Lin Qinghe looked at him helplessly: "You are not afraid of anything - but it doesn't seem to want to talk to us very much."

The Teng Snake stared at them for a while, then let out a piercing whistling sound, and suddenly swung its tail. Lin Qinghe quickly pulled Jiang Lizhou away, and Jiang Lizhou laughed: "Does it understand?"

Lin Qinghe said: "I don't know, what should I do? Shall I fight?"

Jiang Lizhou sighed: "It should be the key. The creek just now shouldn't be deep. How could it hide such a big snake? It's probably an imitation—is there anyone who looks good? If it looks good, keep it. "

Lin Qinghe pinched his face bitterly: "Thank you for being able to say that."

Jiang Lizhou held his hand, tilted his head and smiled: "I raised a child, why can't I say that."

"Be careful!" Jiang Lizhou dragged him to dodge again, narrowly avoiding another blow from the snake.

Jiang Lizhou rolled up his sleeves, tore off a strip of fabric to tie up his hair: "I'll buy you new clothes when I come back—after all, I blame you for not changing them for me."

Lin Qinghe stroked his hair smoothly: "This is not beautiful."
