[Sword III] Seeking Wings

At the time of parting, the 15-year-old brother, although his brows and eyes had some charm, was still just a child of short stature, still underdeveloped, with round hands and feet, and very delicate and cute, but not handsome at all. little round face.

But this one in front of him has a slender figure and a beautiful face. Looking at it in a daze, he looks like a real immortal.

……

Tang Xiaoyi resolutely refused to admit that he was almost taken aback just now.

"...Heh! If my little brother grows into your ice face, dead fish eyes, lime complexion, and narrow lips, it's the end!" She hurriedly found a reason to belittle her bastard captive.

In fact, although she admitted Chi Xiao's superb looks, she really didn't like his temperament.

——Serious, indifferent, quiet, although there is no arrogance that rejects people thousands of miles away, but it seems to be natural, the sharpness and ruthlessness of the wise overlooking the fool.

And her little brother is a gentle and kind person, even if he grows up to only have one percent of the beauty of the bastard in front of her, with his demeanor, he is ten thousand times prettier than him in her eyes.

***

Just as Tang Xiaoyi was making up his mind, Chi Xiao removed the hairpin and crown from his head.

The original half-bundle of blue silk fell completely like splashed ink, covering the peerless face.

"I'm tired, I'll sleep for a while." He wrapped the headdress and the backpack with the broken sword in his arms, put his clothes together and leaned against the big tree behind him, "Call me when you are, let's go to the official road."

"Thanks to you, we don't have a banner anymore, how can we go to the officialdom?" Tang Xiaoyi frowned tightly when mentioning this bad thing, seeing that Chi Xiao had turned his back to her and closed his eyes, she immediately sat down, Leaning to him with hands and feet and glaring at him.

"Yes. Don't ask. You'll know when the time comes." As if feeling a figure looming over him, Chi Xiao slightly trembled his lower eyelashes, but didn't open his eyes. On the contrary, even his voice weakened, as if he was about to Fell asleep.

...Hmph, looking impatient.

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyi stretched out her fist and waved him in the face, but stopped quarreling with him.

——He looked extremely pale, and his spirit was as weak as a person who practiced martial arts should have. It seemed that he was really not in a good condition.

It is probably because his internal force was used to blast his hair with the magic sword just now, and he thought that the majestic Chixiao Honglian was frightened into a frightened bird by a mere villain in the district, and he was particularly depressed.

Tang Xiaoyi guessed so, stood up lightly and walked away.

——Actually, as usual, she would not feel sorry for such a hostile bastard.

Making an exception today is just because she was happy thinking about the appointment ten days later, and also recalled the gentle and considerate appearance of her little brother Chunyang, which made her feel a little gentle.

Just when Tang Xiaoyi was satisfied that he had a decent appearance as soon as he was reviewing, Chi Xiao, who thought he had fallen asleep, suddenly spoke again, "We have passed the official road, and there is still a long road, and we can't cook on the road. Before that, you had to prepare dry food for at least five days."

After passing the official road, you will arrive at Maple Leaf Lake. Where is the long way?What way can't cook?

When Tang Xiaoyi was about to ask, he was stopped by Chi Xiao who said "Don't ask. You will know when the time comes."

Probably because he was a little sleepy, at this time, in addition to the unquestionable coolness and dignity that he always had in the past, there was also a tone that she had never heard from him before, like a spring breeze blowing by his ears. Warm and soft ending.

Such a subtle, beautiful, familiar feeling that seemed to come from a long time ago... made her believe, accept, and obey almost instinctively.

However...they are clearly different.

"You...you fuck off! Who gave you the guts to order my old lady around?!" Waking up from a trance, Tang Xiaoyi immediately threw away her ladylike style, and shouted in a rough voice as if she was becoming angry from embarrassment.

She strode like a man, walked to the side of the grain cart, tore off the blanket on the cart, and threw it to Modin.

Modin understood, took the blanket to cover the Taoist priest, then trotted two steps to catch up with Tang Xiaoyi, and together with her packed various pots and bowls of ingredients, hurriedly prepared five days' worth of dry food.

***

When it was Youshi, the three of them set off again to Shangguandao, and Tang Xiaoyi finally understood what Chi Xiao had said earlier.

They did pass without a flag.

Because the level is gone.

To be precise, not only the checkpoints, but also the entire Shence Pioneer Battalion that manages the checkpoints, and even nearby villages and towns with thousands of people, all became ruins in the flames of war.

It was the Spike Army who raided the Shence Army in the Daokou Checkpoint area.

The Shence Army was defeated, causing the forces stationed in the nearby Fengye Ze to come to the rescue, and then they were also repelled by the Spike Army.

When the camp retreated, although they tried their best to cover the refugees from fleeing, they could not prevent their homes from being destroyed.

——From the criss-crossed corpses and ruts all over the ground, as well as the broken walls and ruins that are still burning in the field of vision, one can infer the battle situation that was staged here not long ago.

The Spike Army who came to make a surprise attack should be led by Kuwatsam, the elite soldier originally stationed in Xiaoguo Camp in the southeast of Maple Valley.Last month, they had just been forced out of their stronghold by the joint efforts of the two camps and retreated to the north in a hurry. Presumably on the way to the north, they saw that the Shence Army guarding the crossing checkpoint area was weak and bully, so they took this opportunity to attack.

Under the protection of the camp, the Spike Army failed to occupy the checkpoint.

But they have scored tactical victories.

Tang Xiaoyi looked beyond the still lingering gunpowder smoke into the distance.

Thick smoke was billowing on the northwest horizon, the red and blue banners of the Valley of the Wicked and the Haoqi League, and the gray banners of the Spike Army were still tangling and advancing and retreating.The roar of the artillery of the Spike Army and the unique thunder of the camp came continuously, shaking the nearby dust and rubble from time to time.

"...The Wolf Fang Army is not that strong." She thought.

The heavy equipment configuration of the camp is not inferior to any elite soldiers in the country, and the troops are all composed of martial arts knights. The combat effectiveness of a single person is at least several times that of the Spike Army, which is just ordinary soldiers.

And this Spike Army led by Kuwatsam is only twice as large as the camp. With the level of command of both sides, it should not be possible to defeat the two camps, and they are even chasing them now.

"So, we're the ones who got weaker." She confirmed the answer.

As the sweeping trend of the Spike Army was curbed by the Jianghu people and the officers and soldiers, the life and death crisis in the Fenghua Valley area was no longer there, and the struggle between the camps quickly became fierce.In the past month, there have been dozens of conflicts, large and small.Just because she participated in it, the two camps lost hundreds of corpses in the fight for food and grass a day ago.

Therefore, in today's emergency rescue battle, the actual force that the camp can send is estimated to be less than one-fifth of the enemy's.

Of course you can't win.

Looking at the ruins of villages and towns in front of him, Tang Xiaoyi suddenly felt a heavy trance.

Because of this, she didn't hear the abnormal noise coming from the ground beside her for a while.

Among the corpses piled up beside the road, several figures suddenly stood up.Holding their long knives, they rushed towards the grain cart where she and Modin were without warning.

Tang Xiaoyi reacted very quickly. After he was suddenly alerted, he immediately pushed Modin under the vehicle, and at the same time fired the crossbow/arrows in his hand, killing all the dozen or so enemy soldiers who tried to approach the grain vehicle in an instant.

But she was too late to save herself from the siege.

Using the broken wall at his side as a cover, Tang Xiaoyi grasped the thousand receiver tightly and estimated the situation.

There are dozens of enemies, all of them are Spikes.

But it can also be said that it is not.

——Although they were alive, they all had black faces and dull eyes. Their movements of holding weapons were stiff and crooked, but their attacks were almost inhumanly violent.

Poison man...?

Tang Xiaoyi knew that there used to be a cult called the Red Clothes Sect in the Fenghua Valley area, and they had an evil method that could turn living people into such unconscious monsters.

But after further analysis, the symptoms of these spike soldiers were different from those of the poisonous people she knew.

——Especially combat power.

Because they don't care about the tolerance of their muscles and bones like normal people when they move, the strength, agility, and even skills of the enemy soldiers at this time are far better than when they are still conscious.

"...What the hell are you doing!?"

He never expected that with his own martial arts, he would be able to cope with such a difficult situation. Tang Xiaoyi almost cried out in surprise under the unexpected tension.

She decisively jumped onto the broken wall, and stretched her hand towards the mechanism wing behind her, thinking to use her big move now to escape from the air and fight back.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a gust of gas blowing in the wind.

It is colorless and odorless, but she is keenly aware of the changes in the properties of the air.

This gas passed over the Spikes, and their roars became even more violent.

And she just inhaled a small mouthful along the wind, but suddenly felt a wave of weakness across the whole body of nerves.

Because of this momentary disturbance, Tang Xiaoyi didn't have time to open the organ wing.

However, the Spike soldiers had surrounded her and reached within four feet of her.

With her archery skills, even at such a short distance, she can destroy enemies in three directions with one blow.

——But after all, it is impossible to instantly undo the siege of death all over the body.

Even if you use the floating light to hide, you still can't break through.

In a near-mortal crisis, Tang Xiaoyi quickly manipulated the thousand receivers while looking into the distance from the corner of his eye.

Chi Xiao had seen refugees trapped in the ruins somewhere, and hurried over to help, so she and Modin were driving just now.

Now, Chi Xiao just came back.

And it has reached the distance where the sword energy can reach her.

However, Tang Xiaoyi knew that Chunyang's sword energy lacked group attack, and it was impossible to instantly wipe out dozens of enemy soldiers stacked from all directions.

So it's still too late.

The author has something to say: 1. The two protagonists in this article will have many magical skills, so amazing that they no longer need game skills

So the Taoist priest has no township

——Actually, it’s because the function of Zhenshanhe is so against the sky, and there are many plots that cannot be passed through it.

For example, the situation at the end of this chapter is a matter of suppressing mountains and rivers, what is too late ==

As for the heroine, according to the setting, she is experienced in many battles, why didn’t she think of calling her teammate Zhen Shanhe... I even took the initiative to admit the bug, so you just forget about it (cute face)
