[Sword Three] End Times and Tang Dynasty

Chapter 82: The Devil's Nest ([-])

There were roars from time to time around, and the poisonous fog was so thick that only the hazy outlines of nearby buildings could be vaguely discerned.If an ordinary person were to experience this terrifying scene, they would be scared out of their wits, but Miao Shiyi and Tang Huai were just looking for their way while on guard.

Unconsciously, 4 minutes passed, and Tang Huai moved his fingers, feeling his skin exposed to the poisonous mist slightly numb.

This is much better than in city s, after all, it is a long distance away from city s.When Tang Huai went back to city S secretly to test the damage of the poisonous fog before, he had such symptoms after only standing there for more than 1 seconds, and the blood bar continued to decrease after just one minute passed.

"Let's go in the direction of City S." After walking for a while, Miao Shiyi scratched his skin in distress, and took out a compass to compare carefully.

The visibility in the poisonous fog is only a dozen meters. Although the entire earth's magnetic field has changed after the end of the world, and the compass is occasionally unstable, it is better than two people catching blind together.

Finding a good position, Miao Shiyi turned an angle: "My martial arts system has its own poison resistance, and now I'm starting to feel uncomfortable. It's very dangerous here, don't get too far away from me."

Tang Huai followed silently.

The two walked in the poisonous mist for about ten minutes. Miao Shiyi didn't do anything to cover up, allowing the smell of living things to spread, and finally attracted the attention of the surrounding monsters.

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream from the ruins not far away, accompanied by the sound of bricks and tiles collapsing.

Tang Huai aimed the Zhuge Liannu in that direction at the same moment!

The two originally wanted to test the strength of the mutated creatures around S City, and by the way, get some wood-type energy cores. Of course, it would be more convenient for the two of them to find the mutated creatures delivered to their door.

Miao Shiyi also changed the worm flute in his hand into a fighting posture, and frowned to distinguish the strange heavy footsteps with the feeling of tumbling sticky liquid: "The size seems not small... what is it?"

Across the poisonous fog, Tang Huai certainly couldn't see what kind of mutated creature was attacking with clumsy steps.After buckling the base of the Qianji Transformer, he whispered, "We'll talk about it after we kill it. Be careful."

Ten seconds later, a huge monster broke into the vision of the two of them.

In the past six months, a group of people traveled all over the world and met a lot of what they should see.But when he saw this enemy, Miao Shiyi was still shocked—because it was... no, to be precise, it was a huge humanoid monster made up of a large group of mutated zombies!

It is covered with ferocious vines, as if a group of mutated zombies were randomly entangled together to reconstitute an enlarged version of a clumsy humanoid handmade toy.

On the two thick "thighs" of the monster, a few bony hands protruded from the left, and a few pus-drenched legs protruded from the right. There were dozens of stiff and green zombie heads on the knees.Both of them could smell the weird stench coming from it through the masks.

Compared with the disgusting monster in front of you, the corpse giant that everyone saw in Famen Temple before looks a bit cute.

Shocked and shocked, the two had experienced many battles, and Tang Huai's Qianji Transformation had already fired several energy bombs in succession after the monster stepped into the attack range, all of which were concentrated on the left knee of the huge monster!

The vines that entangled the monsters were surprisingly tough, but the ones entangled by the vines were just ordinary mutant zombies.The heavy crossbow had a ferocious attack, but within six or seven blows, the monster's left knee was crushed, and some tattered limbs that could no longer be recognized from its original appearance were scattered in all directions.

Under the attack of the two, the monster was shattered into a pool of rotten meat within 10 minutes.

Looking at the messy "head", Tang Huai was planning to endure the unpleasant smell and search for the energy core, so that Miao Shiyi would grab it.Two spirit snakes swam past Tang Huai, plunged into the hillock-like pile of flesh and blood, and searched carefully.

Pulling Tang Huai back for more than 20 meters, Miao Shiyi coughed a few times until he was no longer surrounded by the stench, and then he barely let go.

Not long after, the two spirit snakes swam back, and the blue one had a fist-sized wooden energy core biting into its mouth.

Miao Shiyi put on gloves and wiped off the excess pus on the energy core on the ground, put it in the backpack, scratched the dull aching skin, sacrificed the spirit snake, and called Bi Die to fill up the blood bars of the two of them. Continue walking into the fog.

He didn't say a word for so long, no matter how dull Tang Huai was, he knew that he was a little awkward.

The biggest reason for Miao Shiyi's behavior could only be Tang Huai himself, but Tang Huai didn't rush into the fight just now, and secondly, he didn't suffer any serious injuries - Miao Shiyi had healed a few small scratches a long time ago. He didn't understand which muscle Miao Shiyi suddenly put in the wrong place.

Tang Huai was thinking about it when Miao Shiyi suddenly stopped, heaved a long sigh, and stretched out a hand.Tang Huai felt quite self-conscious. Instead, he held the Zhuge Liannu in one hand, and as soon as he stretched out the other hand, Miao Shiyi, who seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, firmly grasped it tightly.

Bi Die fluttered around the two of them, the energy powder from the shaking wings minimized the damage of the surrounding poisonous mist, Miao Shiyi didn't take half a step forward, Tang Huai also stood quietly with him.

It was foggy all around, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and strange roars still sounded from time to time in the distance. This scene seemed like a nightmare with no end in sight.

The sun in the sky only sprinkles a little bit of light miserly, but refuses to give even a little bit of heat.

The only warmth Tang Huai could feel came from the person holding him.

After a long silence, Miao Shiyi said quietly: "I don't want to gamble at all."

His words were a little out of his head, but Tang Huai didn't even think about it, so he blurted out: "If there is only one person who can survive, for Miao Xia, that person must also be you."

The strength of holding his hand suddenly intensified, and the bones made a slight sound.

It's still so far away from city s, and the mutation is already so serious, it's not hard to imagine what kind of difficulties they will encounter when they really return to city s.

But they have no room to back down!Like the other team of system boarders, they have too little time left.

The task is very clear: they must conduct a blanket search of City S within dozens of days before the next wave of energy erupts, and find the way to prevent the next wave of wood-type energy eruption without any reliable clues or any effective support. method.

——Even if it cannot be stopped, the destructive power of this damage must be minimized at all costs.

No matter the cost.

There are only four of them, two ancient weapons, and their opponents are the most powerful senior cadres.

What a cruel and ruthless organization Yuanyuan is, they have fully experienced it from the tragedies they saw with their own eyes in the past six months.

Yes, Miao Shiyi discovered some subtle doubts, such as Mu Ze's exact motives, such as Mu Ze's real purpose.But from their standpoint, the last thing they should have is illusions. Even if they know that the enemy is Konoha’s younger brother Muze, the best situation right now is that when they meet Muze, that conscienceless boy let go of him. His only blood relative.

Thinking of the dense ink blobs and the last number on Miao Xia's paper, Miao Shiyi felt like a knife was twisting his heart. He couldn't persuade himself to imagine the moment of losing Tang Huai.

"Get more energy cores." Tang Huai took another step without delay, "You must at least cultivate the Five Elements Stone to level six."

But he couldn't go out - Miao Shiyi's feet seemed to be stuck on the ground, and he clenched his hands stubbornly: "You are more important than you think."

Tang Huai was silent for a moment, then gave a soft "hmm" and continued, "Let's go."

Miao Shiyi slowly let go of his hand.

A few hours later, the two returned to City N, and the surrounding environment changed from cold and damp to warm and bright in the blink of an eye.

The carriage was filled with the smell of food, and Tang Huai saw Miao Xia stop his chopsticks at a glance and looked up eagerly at him, while Uncle Jiu waved his hand in greeting.Konoha held a bowl of hot soup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Master, Officer Miao."

Shi Mingjie sat a little further back, opened his eyes and clapped his hands together to salute, then closed his eyes and chanted scriptures silently.

The joy of reunion quickly diluted the depression in his heart. Miao Shiyi grabbed Miao Xia who jumped up, sat down with him in his arms, rubbed his head, turned to Konoha and asked, "When did you arrive?"

Konoha set out the soup, and said while serving the rice: "I just arrived before dark. After a short rest, I made some simple meals by the way."

It is said to be a casually cooked dinner, but in fact there are four dishes and one soup.The crisp and tender vegetables are as thin as hair, and the meat slices of the same size are almost transparent, which shows how vividly Konoha has used the knife function that has been systematically added.

Shi Mingjie's eating habits are different from everyone else's. He ate vegetable porridge alone in advance, and the small table is just right for four adults and one child.

When Konoha was also seated, Uncle Jiu took out a bottle of wine from under the table, placed a few small bowls, and filled them up one by one: "I finally got it, and you can drink today. You are planning to leave tomorrow ? I have made an agreement with my brothers here to take Miao Xia to live here during this time. Where did you find a reliable person from the imperial capital? When will you arrive?"

Entering S City is a task they must face. After so many days of construction, everyone's mentality has been sorted out, and this topic is not shy away from the dinner table.

Miao Shiyi held up his chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Miao Xia: "We will leave around noon tomorrow. The people from the imperial capital will arrive within five days."

He and Tang Huai did not choose to let Miao Xia stay in the imperial capital. The biggest reason was that there were too many dangerous factors remaining in the imperial capital.

A month or two ago, the imperial capital was still under the control of Commander Ding. Although Tang Huai later killed a large number of high-ranking officials under Commander Ding, there were undoubtedly more left behind.

Miao Xia's background is a mystery, and she follows several system boarders all day long.Even though he often pretends to be a child of the same age, as long as he pays close attention, it is not difficult to find his special features.

Taking a step back, even if Miao Xia is really just an ordinary child, a child with the same surname brought by Miao Shiyi is really suitable as a bargaining chip for negotiating with Minister Miao. It is much safer to be beside the system boarder.

This is not a formal occasion, and Konoha also picked up the wine bowl casually, respected the three people across the table, drank the bowl upside down, and said with a smile: "I also asked some friends, if there is any news, I will tell you in time Conveyed here. Uncle Nine, let you bother."

Uncle Jiu drank it all in one gulp, and put the empty bowl on the table with great pride: "Of course I'm my own son, I have to watch it carefully!"

Miao Shiyi also picked up the bowl, and Uncle Jiu didn't want to be compared to someone else, so he quickly filled his wine bowl again.

"Uncle Jiu," Miao Shiyi put his arms around the silent child and rubbed his head, "I have to offer you a bowl for what you said. Do it!" He also emptied the wine bowl and poured it out Come here, there really isn't a single drop left.

After receiving the bowl, Uncle Jiu said solemnly: "You are the ones who do great things, and those of you are even better at it. I won't say more. On my side, I will definitely protect my godson, but you also have to remember that you are still the one There is a child, if something happens, he will fight hard, and if he is about to die, he will have to think about the child and fight hard. I will not raise him for a lifetime."

The adults said it bluntly, and Xiao Miaoxia felt even more uncomfortable. After scrambling to eat the food, she wrenched out of Miao Shiyi's arms with a puffed face, ran to Shi Mingjie's side, hugged her knees and curled up into a ball.

Shi Mingjie was chanting scriptures with his eyes closed, when he heard Miao Xia approaching, he opened his eyes and reached out to him.Miao Xia pursed her lips and stretched out her hand, but was held by Shi Mingjie.Shi Mingjie no longer recited scriptures silently, but chanted aloud in a low voice.The gentle sound of chanting sutras lingered in Miao Xia's ears, gradually calming down his mind.

Seeing Miao Xia's expression gradually calm down, Miao Shiyi was also relieved, and turned his head to continue drinking.Uncle Jiu prepared several bottles of good quality wine, and it was not easy to get these things, so they couldn't waste them.
