How to Raise a Cannon Fodder

Unlike the dome full of stars, the bottom of the stone steps is pitch black. I don't know how deep and how big this valley bottom is.

But if you stay overnight at the entrance, you are worried that your whereabouts will be exposed.

"Am I completely blind?" Seeing that Li Xin and the others could walk freely, Jian Xiaoshu had to wonder if his eye disease had finally deteriorated rapidly under the wind and sun these days, making him a veritable the blind man. "You don't need to comfort me... I'm prepared..."

"Senior brother, then I'm going blind too!" Shan Xiaoti suddenly stopped and grabbed Jian Xiaoshu's clothes, crying in her voice.

Yan Zhi and Li Xin looked up at the shadowy figure, a little bit dumbfounded.

"There is too little light here, and my master and I are the same people, so it won't be affected." Yan Liu explained patiently. His sleeves had been grabbed by Jian Xiaoshu and Shan Xiaoti, and he was dragging the two The soy sauce bottle went very hard.

"Oh, I thought I was finally blind..." The blind Jian Xiaoshu straightened Li Yanliu's sleeves as if flattering, and pretended to look back at the place where they came down, "They won't chase in?"

"No." Li Xin said firmly, holding Yan Zhi's hand and continuing to walk down, "Last time we only stayed on the steps for one night, and we suffered a lot from not knowing about the bugs. This time we stay away from the bugs. point."

Although Yan Zhi did not want to set up FALG, he felt it necessary to remind everyone: "I think it is unreasonable that phototropic insects will appear in caves that lack light. If this cave has an owner, then his The intention must be to drive us down, so we are at a disadvantage in the dark, and now we can only rely on Li Xin and Yan Liu."

"Silence."

Li Xin made a gesture, and then quickly walked down the stairs. Seeing that Li Xin was going to be brave again, Yan Zhi hurriedly followed, and forcibly borrowed Li Xin's vision through the symbiosis contract, "You want to be brave again, and you want to be young again?" died?"

"That's right, I'm getting smarter." Li Xin nodded with a smile, agreeing with Yan Zhi's approach.

The sight that appeared in front of them made both of them silent—at this time they had reached the bottom of the valley, and it was a majestic stone city. All the houses were made of neatly cut stone blocks, and the houses were well-arranged. , I can see the designer's intentions, but now it is shrouded in dead silence.

Yanliu arrived late dragging two oil bottles, and Keji followed closely behind.

At this time, Yan Zhi noticed a pile of ashes under his feet, and moved his foot, and found that there seemed to be bone residue in it.Immediately, his hair stood on end with horror, and he retreated to the open space, "This...can't be ashes?"

At this time, Li Xin also noticed a few piles of ashes scattered around them. He used the scabbard to push aside the bones, and unexpectedly found a token belonging to Gaotu Mountain. These bones were clearly identified.

Back then those people accidentally disturbed the insects and were engulfed by the fire and fell to the bottom of the valley. At that time, the situation was urgent. He didn't delay here too much. After dawn, he left the cave with the escort target, and those people slept forever in the darkness.

Although Li Xin is now against Mount Gaotu, in any case, these few companions who lived and died together at that time, so Li Xin sorted out each pile of ashes and built a stone tomb with the stones next to it, and then Bye bye, "The dead rest in peace, no offense intended."

Afterwards, Yan Zhi and the others paid homage to the deceased who had just been trampled under their feet in turn, hoping to ease the relationship between them.

"We can just spend the night outside the city. No matter how you look at it, this stone city is creepy..." Yan Zhi looked at the city hidden in the darkness with concern, feeling nervous for no reason.

"Well, rest here for one night now, and find a way to find the crack to return to the Cangjie Realm tomorrow." Li Xin agreed to Yan Zhi's proposal. He knew that his current state was not suitable for taking risks. Residents who live peacefully with bugs are certainly not kind.

There was no bonfire to keep warm, no water to wash the blood stains on their bodies, and in the dark and damp cave, the five people could only dry their clothes by body heat. This might be the most embarrassing night in their lives.

Several people were sleeping on the icy ground wrapped in semi-wet clothes. What happened one after another in the past few days, everyone’s nerves were tense all the time. Even though the conditions are bad, they still fall asleep one after another.

Li Xin and Yan Liu were the only ones whose eyes were still working. Li Xin was not in good condition, so Yan Liu volunteered to be on the first shift, sitting near the stone city and watching the surrounding movement vigilantly.

Jian Xiaoshu's mood was very complicated. Witnessing the breakup between Li Xin and Gao Tushan made him realize that these famous and decent families may not be as righteous and awe-inspiring as recorded in the history books of the Dayan Alliance. Judging from Xi Yan's actions , it is difficult for him to regard Gaotu Mountain as a decent school whose reputation is close to that of the Hall of Eternal Life.

Thinking of Xuyi Palace who brought him up to teach him medical swordsmanship, Jian Xiaoshu had to start to doubt whether Xuyi Palace was innocent in the battle against evil 19 years ago.This feeling of questioning oneself is very bad, thinking of this, Jian Xiaoshu sighed for a long time.

"Can't sleep?" Yan Liu couldn't help asking when she noticed that Jian Xiaoshu was still sitting behind him with her eyes staring out of focus.

"Yeah." Jian Xiaoshu has become a blind person at this moment, and can only look in the direction of Yanliu blankly, "If you hurt others in order to save them... can this be forgiven?"

"Probably yes." Yan Liu thought that Jian Xiaoshu was talking about the death of Gaotu Mountain just now in order to get out of trouble, so he replied casually.

At this time, Yanliu is a little absent-minded, and he is naturally happy to see that Li Xin can make a clean break with Gao Tushan, and then he should seize the time to guide Li Xin back to Cangji to become the real Li master.

"However, life is not high or low..."

Yan Liu looked back at Jian Xiaoshu in surprise, "Don't you eat meat? Don't you break herbs to make medicine? Life is selfish, and it's an indispensable means to survive."

Jian Xiaoshu fell silent, he didn't expect Yan Liu to ask himself such a question, but after thinking about what Yan Liu said carefully, he found that the world is indeed a world where the weak prey on the strong.

"However, since ancient times, our clan and the human world have never violated the river water. The Dayan Alliance invaded our clan for their own selfish desires, plundered spirit stones for magic weapons and cultivation, and slaughtered grasshoppers. This is beyond the scope of hunting. It is absolutely unacceptable. Forgive me." Speaking of Yanliu, the enemy who exterminated the clan 19 years ago, his voice became unstable.

Jian Xiaoshu frowned, but said nothing.

Seeing the change in Jian Xiaoshu's expression, Yan Liu smiled softly, "Brother Kuimen's matter is indeed a bit extreme, but it is my duty to welcome Master Li back, and other things have nothing to do with me."
