"Is this Zhongzhou?"

A young man with dirty, unkempt clothes and a gourd pinned to his waist stood on the top of the mountain, looking up.

Behind him was a giant with a fierce face carrying a huge club, a giant python with a crystal clear body, and a white spider as tall as a man and full of spirit.

This person is Li Xin'an, who has been trekking around the Colorful Forest for two days.

Li Xin'an was very glad that he chose to bypass the Colorful Forest.

Although he took some long detours, he felt a powerful aura in the Colorful Forest several times when he was in a hurry, but they all disappeared after following Li Xin'an for a distance, as if he was observing himself and seeing that he had not entered the Colorful Forest.

It has been more than twenty days since he left Frost City, and Li Xin'an has finally arrived in Zhongzhou.

It's been almost a month since the coldest time, the weather is gradually starting to warm up, and some big rivers have thawed.

And the high mountains here have also been transformed a bit, with patches of neat farmland, which are bare at this time, waiting for the next year's harvest.

Li Xin'an looked at the layers of mountains below the mountain and the rushing water between the mountains, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

"This beautiful river belongs to humans, the invading demons are really hateful, you must kill a few if you have a chance!"

At this moment, Li Xin'an suddenly saw a puff of smoke behind a hill below.

A group of frightened men with large bags on their backs ran out from behind the hill.

There were hundreds of people, all of them panicked, adults and children, dressed plainly, as if they were farmers living nearby.

At the end of the crowd were armoured soldiers, more than fifty men, led by a stout man with two hammers in both hands as weapons.

From time to time, these soldiers looked behind them vigilantly, and kept urging the farmers in front of them to run quickly, as if some monster was chasing them.

"Humans, are they being chased by something?"

And several mountains blocked the scene behind, and Li Xin'an couldn't see what was behind them.

But it didn't take long for him to see monsters chasing the villagers and soldiers.

The first to bear the brunt were a dozen dogs with fangs, larger and more ferocious than the two dogs that chased Yan Hongyun before;

This was followed by hundreds of swarthy, tall, spiked humanoid monsters with four arms, and from time to time they shot their bows and arrows at fleeing humans as they ran, but they were still far away and no humans were injured.

Li Xin'an once saw this monster through the Heavenly Palace chessboard, called the Four-Handed Human Demon.

The speed of these four-handed human demons is not fast, but there are too many old, weak, women and children in the human race, and the speed is even slower, and the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

"Let's go, help them, the snow giant will take me there. ”

"Roar!"

The snow giant put away the popsicle, supported Li Xin'an with the palm of his hand, put him on his shoulder, and then jumped off the top of the mountain, descended rapidly, and after falling some distance, he suddenly grabbed the crooked neck tree growing on the mountain wall, slowed down, and then continued to fall.

In this way, it didn't take long for the snow giant to fall to the ground smoothly with Li Xin'an, and then quickly ran in the direction where the crowd was.

And the Ice Python and the Ghost-Faced Demon Spider had also reached the bottom of the cliff, and rushed over after Li Xin'an.

A sturdy young soldier turned his head to see the demons chasing everyone getting closer and closer, some fanged dogs were even about to catch up with everyone, and the captain deliberately fell behind everyone, as if he was preparing to stay behind and break the back.

The young man stopped and shouted to the strong man who was pressing at the back of the line:

"Captain, you escort the villagers first!

The strong man scolded angrily: "Don't nonsense, get out! The little kid still dares to fight with me for the position after the break, you guys go quickly! I'll take it!"

The young soldier shouted, "Captain, sister-in-law is still waiting for you!"

The villagers continued to run forward, but the other soldiers stopped at this time, looking at the strong man at the back of the group, unwilling to continue to escape.

They all understood that the monster was getting closer and closer, and someone would have to stay behind and fight the monster in order to give everyone enough time to escape.

The strong man shouted angrily: "Why the hell stop and do it! Don't get in my way here, who am I, I can leave at any time, you go quickly, no one can leave later, think about your parents! They are still waiting for you to hold your grandson!"

At least I will marry a wife, and I will have a future! Some of you yellow-haired boys have never even tasted the taste of a woman, and it is not worth it to die!"

But no one in the team fled, standing firmly in place, ready to fight the onrushing monsters.

The strong man had no choice but to speak: "Our team can't all be planted here, we have to leave some seeds, and some people to proclaim our name! Now I order: If you don't have a wife, your parents are still alive and go first!"

Defend the rest of the enemy with me!"

But the young soldiers in the group hesitated, looked at each other, and still stood still.

The strong man kicked the buttocks of one of the young soldiers and shouted, "Fucking go away!" You also have a very difficult task, the soldiers of our Ankang Battalion are all a family, if we can't come back, remember to help us take care of our family!"

"Yes!"

The young soldier who had spoken earlier wiped away his tears and turned to run first, followed by the other young soldiers.

The rest were all soldiers over 30 years old, and only 25 remained, but each one of them had sharp eyes and a calm temperament, and they were obviously experienced veterans.

The strong man shouted: "Form a circle!

"Yes!"

These well-trained veterans did not move in the slightest, forming a circle back to back, each soldier holding his weapon tightly, his face resolute, and exuding murderous and fighting intent.

At this time, the fanged dogs had already rushed in front of these soldiers, but they did not dare to step forward, but just circled around these soldiers, looking for flaws.

After a while, the four-handed human demon also felt that there were about a hundred of them, surrounded the soldiers, and slowly approached.

The leader is a four-handed human demon who is about two meters and a half tall, a head taller than the other four-handed human demons, and his skin is deeper than that of other four-handed human demons, and he looks full of lethality.

The strong man faced the fanged dogs and four-handed demons that surrounded him, and laughed and said, "Hahaha, look at those beasts! Only we old guys are left! Let them know how good we are!"

"Okay! Let them see how powerful our veterans of the Ankang Battalion are!"

The soldiers all laughed.

The leader of the four-handed demons was enraged by their laughter and roared:

“####......%%......”

The four-handed human demon and the fanged dog, who had been reluctant to step forward, suddenly mustered up the courage to rush towards the veteran.

The fanged dogs were the fastest and rushed in front of the soldiers first.

The soldiers did not panic, and the weapons in their hands suddenly poked out, and with the cooperation of each other, they all repelled the fanged dogs, and several of them were killed on the spot.

And the strong man among the soldiers turned out to be a transcendent being, his ability was earthy, and when he smashed the hammer in his hand to the ground, an earthen cone would rise on the ground and attack the enemy.

The fanged dog was killed and injured in an instant, but before the veterans could breathe a sigh of relief, the four-handed human demon had already rushed in.

They were tall and strong, some of the four-handed demons jumped high and fell into the circle of soldiers from the air, while others attacked the soldiers head-on.

Under the internal and external attacks, the circular formation formed by the soldiers was not long dispersed.

The strong man immediately responded, shouting loudly: "Three or two cooperate! Don't fight on your own! Don't expose your back!"

The others immediately responded: "Yes!"

In such a situation where the number of people is not dominant, exposing the back means ushering in death, after all, human beings do not have eyes on their backs, and they cannot avoid the danger from behind.

The soldiers here are all experienced veterans, and they immediately gather with the people around them, stick to each other's backs, and fight the four-handed demons around them.

However, in the case that the strength and number were not superior, the excellent combat skills and skillful cooperation of the veterans did not bring them any hope of life.

After three minutes of fighting, 12 soldiers had been killed, and the surviving soldiers had many more wounds on their bodies, and many blood holes appeared in the shoulders and arms of the strong men, gushing blood.

But the four-handed demons did not suffer many casualties, and at this time they were circling around these soldiers, playing with these humans who were extremely weak in their eyes.

Just when the soldiers were a little desperate, the ground suddenly shook violently.

"Knock! knock!"

The sound of huge footsteps was heard, followed by an aura that terrified the four-handed demons.

That was the coercion that only high-level demons could have, and these four-handed human demons were immediately suppressed as low-level demons, and their hearts were full of fear, and they didn't even dare to do it again, but froze in place, looking back and forth.

At this moment, before they could react.

A huge python with a crystal clear body suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the hillside, swallowing two four-handed human demons in an instant, and then shuttled back and forth among the four-handed human demons, and its sharp tail cut through the bodies of one four-handed human demon after another.

Immediately afterwards, a sturdy giant suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the hill, and the popsicle instantly smashed a four-handed human demon to death, and there was a figure standing with a negative hand on the giant's back.

The last to appear was a white spider with a wavy pattern, and as soon as this spider appeared, it began to slaughter the four-handed human demon at a rapid speed, and the four-handed human demon poked by its spider leg did not take long to rot and turn into a pool of blood.

The leader of the four-handed human demon was the first to react, raised his weapon and pointed at the three war pets, and shouted loudly: "@#杀了它们%&&......"

The other four-handed demons also woke up from their shock and rushed towards the three war pets at the leader's orders.

The leader of the four-handed human demon took the opportunity to turn around and run into the distance, and had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape.

"The equipment of this group of four-handed human demons is very simple, but their physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary humans, plus they have four arms, they can control more weapons, which makes people unguardable, I estimate that five ordinary human warriors can withstand the combat power of a four-handed human demon. ”

Judging the warriors of the four-handed demons, Li Xin'an was worried, these four-handed demons belonged to the low-level demons, but their combat power was already so strong, and the lethality of the high-level demons would be doubled.

"Whether this war with the demons can be won or not, the transcendent is the key. ”

Li Xin'an finally came to this conclusion, he jumped off the snow giant's back, took out the red fire knife, ran the flowing cloud step, shuttled across the battlefield, and slaughtered these four-handed human demons, almost all of them one by one.

The soldiers only saw a huge python with a crystal clear body descending from the sky, and then began to slaughter the four-handed human demon in a frenzy, followed by a giant and a spider.

On the shoulders of the giant was a young man in shabby clothes and dust, who jumped off the giant's back and slain the desperate four-handed demons with the three monsters in a very short time, leaving only some of the first to flee survive.

The soldiers were very nervous at this time, although the young man and the three monsters did not hurt them just now, but these monsters all had terrifying combat power, which made them feel desperate, and without knowing friend or foe, these soldiers gathered together, clenched their weapons and stood guard.

Li Xin'an killed the last four-handed human demon here, put away the red fire knife, came to the soldiers, and greeted them with a smile: "Haha, hello everyone!"

After a few days of trekking, Li Xin'an was still very excited to finally see humans again.

The soldiers looked at each other, not daring to respond, and at this time, the three war pets also returned behind Li Xin'an.

Seeing the huge monster appear behind the young man, everyone couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

Li Xin'an said: "Don't worry, they are my summoned beasts. ”

He then summoned the Ice Python and the Snow Giant back to the preparation area, leaving only the Ghost-Faced Demon Spider with him.

These soldiers immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the snow giants and ice pythons were huge in size and hideous in appearance, giving them a lot of pressure.

Although the spider that remained behind the young man was also very large, it was only more than one person tall, and the sense of oppression was not so strong, and it looked very good, not like it was harmful.

The strong man walked out and said to Li Xin'an: "Thank you for your help, otherwise our brothers would have been planted here today." ”

Li Xin'an asked, "What's the matter, why are you being chased by monsters?" ”

The strong man replied, "We were escorting the residents of the nearby villages and towns to Anping City, but we didn't expect to be discovered by this team of four-handed human demons on the way and chased here. ”

Li Xin'an asked: "Anping City, is this the Lu Kingdom, and where is the Three Mountains City?"

The soldiers all had strange expressions on their faces, as if they were wondering why Li Xin'an would ask this question.

The strong man replied: "This is the country of Lu, and the city of Sanshan is further west, about 100 kilometers away from here, and it has completely fallen four days ago.

We set up a defensive line near Sanshan City according to natural hazards, but we heard news from the people on the front line that the defense line has been broken by the demons, and we are rushing here, and we will pass through several villages and towns on the second road.

The general ordered us to come and escort the nearby villagers to Anping City for refuge.

Isn't the little brother from Lu? Why would he ask such a strange question?"

Li Xin'an thought of a reason and replied: "Haha, I am from the Zhou Kingdom, I like to travel to famous mountains and rivers, and I always like to play in the mountains that few people visit, but this time I lost my way and came here unconsciously, so I don't know where I am." ”

Only then did the soldiers show their expressions.

The strong man took off his helmet, it was a rough round face with a big beard, and he smiled at Li Xin'an and said: "Haha, the strong man is really an elegant person, and even his hobbies are very different from those of us rough men." ”

Li Xin'an looked at the dirty clothes on his body, and said with a smile: "Haha, don't make fun of me, big brother, I'm like a beggar." ”

During the laughter, the relationship between the two became closer, and the rest of the soldiers also let down some of their guards.

The strong man continued: "Although you are dressed in shabby, you have a good temperament.

Let's get out of here first, although Shaoxia you are strong in force, but there are a lot of those demons, and there are some stronger than those demons just now, and fighting with them is likely to suffer, why don't you go to Anping City first, there is a good response on the way"

This strong man is coarse and playful, half of his words are for Li Xin'an's sake, and the other half is to see Li Xin'an's martial arts and can protect the villagers and soldiers.

Li Xin'an also wanted to go to a crowded place to collect some information, and at the same time, he was also worried that these people would encounter danger on the road, so he readily agreed to go with him.

"Okay, let's go. ”

The strong man greeted the surviving soldiers, who carried their dead brothers on the ground with sad faces.

Then everyone walked to the place where the villagers fled, Li Xin'an and the strong man walked at the back of the team and talked to each other, while the ghost-faced demon spider fell into a stealth state and stayed in place, the strong man didn't care, and thought that the big spider that suddenly disappeared was taken back by Li Xin'an.

Because summoners rarely have this ability, they are very mysterious in everyone's hearts.

The strong man's personality is very open-minded, although he has just lost more than a dozen brothers, he still laughs and chats with Li Xin'an when he walks.

Through chatting with the strong man, Li Xin'an has a lot of news about the demon army.

When the demons first started attacking, they only sent some low-level demons, just like the four-handed human demons they had seen before, and it was almost impossible for them to capture the three mountain cities that had been prepared, had abundant supplies, and were heavily guarded.

But after a few days, some high-level demons suddenly appeared among the demons, and even some demons who could be compared to fifth-level transcendents, and it didn't take long for the news that Sanshan City had been breached.

Fortunately, they set up a defensive line between Sanshan City and Anping City in advance, which delayed the demon clan for several more days and gave the residents of Sanshan City enough time to escape.

It's a pity that the strength of the demons is far beyond their imagination, and they are attacking Anping City at a very fast speed, and some of the vanguard troops have even attacked, and they have killed and injured many brothers in order to cover the escape of the nearby villagers.

Speaking of this, the open-minded smiling face disguised by the strong man could no longer support it, his eyes became red, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said fiercely:

"What I hate most now is myself, if I had trained myself a little more hard when I was younger, my strength would definitely have become much stronger, so that more brothers could survive, I really wasted my talent. Every time I see a brother die, I blame myself once. ”

Self-reproach covered the strong man's cheeks, and he lowered his head and trembled.

Li Xinan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have done your best, the past has passed, the focus is on the future, and you must work hard to become stronger." ”

The strong man nodded fiercely, wiped his eyes with his arm, and when he looked up again, he had regained his original open-minded appearance, nodded and said, "I will!"

Li Xin'an said: "Haha, a big man should not think about the past and care about the future."

I'll go around to see if there's any danger, you escort the villagers first, and I'll catch up with you in a moment. ”

"Okay, thank you for your hard work"

Li Xin'an waved his hand, turned around and left the crowd, put on a look of looking around, and turned back to the place where he had just fought.

At this time, there were already a pile of demon creature corpses piled up on the ground, and the ghost-faced demon spider stood next to the corpse, looking at Li Xin'an with his head sideways.

This pile of corpses was just packed up by the Devil-Faced Demon Spider, so that Li Xin'an could transform them into a creation point.

Most of these corpses were unusually shriveled, like dried corpses that had been dead for a long time.

Li Xin'an knew that this was because the Ghost-Faced Demon Spider had devoured the essence of these demon creatures, and the Ghost-Faced Demon Spider had devoured the spiritual substances in the bodies of these demon creatures to repair his injuries and continuously improve his abilities.

Li Xin'an gently put his hand on the pile of corpses, and whispered in his mouth: "Transformation!"

Black runes suddenly emanated from Li Xin'an's hands, enveloping the entire corpse pile, and then the red light flashed, and these corpse piles suddenly disappeared, turning into black powder and dissipating with the wind.

"Ding! The transformation is successful, congratulations on obtaining 3650 Creation Points. ”

Li Xin'an thought with a smile: "Haha, that's right, the creation points spent two days ago have been made up, let's see if I can meet a few demons on the road." ”

Li Xin'an turned around and was about to leave, when the ghost-faced demon spider suddenly turned to look at a low cliff next to him, and then rushed over, his figure gradually disappeared in the process of rushing forward, and fell into a state of stealth.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xin'an heard the sound of gold and iron intersecting, and from time to time sparks burst out in the air.

The sound of gold and iron intersecting ran from front to back and from back to left, Li Xin'an knew that this was the ghost-faced demon spider and another creature that could be stealth, he took out the red fire knife, nervously guarded.

It didn't take long for a black liquid to spray out of thin air, followed by two figures slowly appearing.

One is a man-tall praying mantis, dark green all over, with two barbed fierce crows on its forelimbs, slender, sharp, full of lethality and smooth beauty, and is a natural killer.

But now this praying mantis was inserted into the belly by the Ghost-faced Demon Spider's legs, and its head was also cut off by the Ghost-faced Demon Spider.

The Devil-Faced Spider's mouth was resting on his neck, sucking the mantis's bodily fluids.
