The two of them were at the junction of the west and south of the city at this time, not far from the location of the caravan, and they could reach it in 10 minutes at their speed.

But the two walked slowly side by side with a tacit understanding, and the surrounding environment seemed very quiet at this time, and a charming atmosphere spread between the two.

Zhou Wenwen suddenly said to Li Xin'an: "Forgive you!"

Li Xin'an was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Zhou Wenwen forgave himself, he didn't know where he was wrong, but he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord for having a lot." ”

Zhou Wenwen didn't answer, but whispered: "You go to Zhongzhou with me." ”

Li Xin'an didn't answer directly, but thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and refused: "I can't go to Zhongzhou with you yet." ”

Li Xin'an wants to travel around by himself, and the caravan in the hope of getting some help, but it will also restrict his development, and now that the human race is facing a catastrophe, Li Xin'an has no time to waste.

However, in his heart, he didn't want to refuse Zhou Wenwen's request, so he was also entangled at this time.

"Okay. ”

Zhou Wenwen lowered her head and kicked the stones underground, seemingly disappointed.

Li Xin'an comforted: "Haha, don't be unhappy, in the future, Zhongzhou and Frost City will trade more closely, and I will go to see you." ”

Zhou Wenwen raised her head, tried to squeeze out a smile and responded, "Okay, definitely." ”

Then the two stopped talking and walked quietly to the caravan.

Zhou Qian was waiting at the entrance of the caravan at this time, watching Li Xin'an and Zhou Wenwen come back together, and glared at Li Xin'an fiercely.

Li Xin'an touched his nose, pretended not to know what was going on, and waved goodbye to Zhou Qian and Zhou Wenwen.

Then, he turned around and returned to Frost City, thinking about how to tell his grandmother about his departure as he walked towards his residence.

Li Xin'an knew that her grandmother was so old, and she definitely didn't want Li Xin'an to travel outside by herself, so Li Xin'an was very worried about how to tell her grandmother about this matter now, so she could only create a comfortable environment for her as much as possible, and tell her grandmother about it later.

After returning to the residence, Li Xin'an ate the supper made by his grandmother, chatted with his grandmother and went back to his room to sleep.

Lying on his bed, Li Xin'an couldn't fall asleep over and over, he was still thinking about how to say goodbye to his grandmother, Tie Leishan, Chen Ping, and others.

At this moment, the position of the Heavenly Palace chessboard in his mind suddenly fluctuated, and Li Xin'an's consciousness hurriedly entered his mind to observe the Heavenly Palace chessboard.

It was found that in an area covered by fog between Frost City and Zhongzhou, a faint white point of light was constantly trembling, like a candle flame blown by a strong wind, ready to be extinguished at any time.

To the left of the white dot, a black line is getting closer to the white dot.

At this time, this white point of light was constantly emitting ripples in circles, and it was this ripple that made Li Xin'an receive the induction.

"What's going on? Is this a Terran gathering area invaded? But how do I get the sense?"

Li Xin'an was full of doubts, he could only see the abstract scene on the chessboard, but he couldn't see the specific situation, because he hadn't been here, so he couldn't show the terrain here.

At this moment, a scene appeared on the chessboard that he had never seen before.

......

The northern part of Zhongzhou, the border of Lu State, an outpost.

Late at night, it was dark.

"Cheer me up! The demons may come at some point! If they let them touch it, we'll all die!"

On the low ramparts, a veteran with a wrinkled face reprimands a soldier who dozed off during the vigil.

"Yes~"

The soldiers replied weakly.

Most of these soldiers were not very old, seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were drowsy at this time.

The place where they are located is the outpost of the Lu country, and if the demons attack, they must be at the forefront here.

But these young soldiers did not have the slightest nervousness, because in the past six months, the large army of the demon clan has invaded the Li country in the belly of Zhongzhou, and the Lu country located in the north has not been attacked so far.

The veteran shook his head at the careless young soldiers, but a smile finally appeared on his face when he saw a spirited soldier.

He is the sentry commander of this outpost, named Zheng Wen'an, and he has stayed in this outpost for a lifetime, and he has never thought of being transferred.

The elite soldiers of the Lu country were all sent to the Li country to help resist the invasion of the demon army, and the rest were mostly new recruits.

So this year, he was given a lot of young recruits to guard this outpost, and even the veterans in the original outpost were taken away, and now the number of veterans in the outpost is no more than 1/10, and it seems that even the people in power don't think that the demons will invade the country of Lu.

Most of these recruits have never seen war and do not understand the cruelty of war, plus the country of Lu is still quite rich, and parents are mostly pampered with their children.

Therefore, these recruits who have not yet undergone complete military training always lack a sense of crisis, complain about a little hard work every day, and are also careless when performing reconnaissance and other tasks, which makes him very headache, and only a good-looking soldier is very satisfying to the veterans.

This soldier's name is Yan Hongyun, the youngest, only 16 years old, but he has an extraordinary temperament, a noble body, a gentle and cheerful personality, and the most hard-working, and can conscientiously complete the tasks assigned by him every day.

And in his spare time, he will also practice some martial arts, but unfortunately he has no awakening ability, just an ordinary person, otherwise he must be a talent who is scrambled by various armies.

The general of the Lu State is also surnamed Yan, and Zheng Wenan sometimes wonders if Yan Hongyun is a member of the Yan family, otherwise where did the extravagance come from?

But he immediately denied his speculation, the people of the general's family would definitely hold important positions in the army, how could they come to such a remote place.

Zheng Wenan came to Yan Hongyun's side, handed him the gourd wine jug he was carrying, and said with a smile:

"Good luck, the wind is cold in the middle of the night, come and drink wine to warm up. ”

Yan Hongyun greeted Zheng Wen'an first, then took the wine jug and took a big sip, frowned, and then praised with a smile: "Good wine, the taste is big enough, and the whole body is warm." ”

Zheng Wenan smiled and said: "Haha, you kid always says good things, this is the cheapest bad wine."

If you're in a big city, you're sure to make a career out of it with your sweet mouth.

Alas, in the past six months, among you soldiers, you can satisfy me.

I have a recommended quota here for falling into Sanshan City as a soldier, and I'll give it to you!

That's a fat difference, Sanshan City is rich, and the money we receive every year can be a few more silver coins than ours!

If it weren't for the fact that I was about to retire, I would have wanted to go. You kid go to that clever point, mix up an official and a half-job, and also give face to our sentry chief. ”

The outpost environment is harsh and the salary is meager, in order to compensate the outpost soldiers, Lu Guo will allocate several recommended places to the outpost every year, and after serving in the outpost for a certain period of time, the sentry commander can recommend qualified people to go to the big city to serve as soldiers.

Sanshan Castle is the closest city to this outpost, surrounded by mountains on three sides, rich in tea, and very wealthy.

The surrounding soldiers all stole envious glances at Yan Hongyun, but Yan Hongyun was a little hesitant and seemed to want to refuse.

Yan Hongyun is the grandson of Yan Zhan, the general of the Lu State, and he has wanted to gallop on the battlefield with his grandfather and father since he was a child.

But he has never been able to awaken his abilities, so he has not been taken seriously at home, and he has not been allowed to join the army by his family, so he can only be a family manager in the future.

However, his dream is to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and he firmly believes that he can kill the enemy on the battlefield even if he has no ability, so he secretly ran out of the family, and did not carry anything to prove his identity, just to be found by the family and find it.

He only brought with him a few silver coins, as well as a necklace, which had been passed down to him by his grandfather.

The necklace is tied with a pendant in the shape of a simple long sword, black, like gold and wood, I don't know what material it is, it is not good-looking, but hanging it around his neck will always make him much more stable.

Later, he hid his identity and joined the army, but instead of assigning him to the battlefield with the demons, the army assigned him to this outpost and became a sentry.

It was a little depressing at first, but then he thought that the outpost was the front line of the country, and one day there would be an enemy attack, so he settled down here.

Therefore, he didn't want to go to Sanshan City to be a city defender, and at this time he was thinking about how to refuse.

At that moment, arrows fell from the sky.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Several soldiers were shot by arrows and died instantly.

Zheng Wen'an pounced on Yan Hongyun, pulled him to hide near the protective edge of the city wall, and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Hide, quickly notify the others! Let the people in the sentry tower light the wolf smoke." ”

Everyone hid close to the edge of the city wall, and a soldier took out a gong and got up, and a gong sounded suddenly, and everyone in the outpost was awakened.

A cluster of fire ignited on the towers of the outpost, and the flames gradually expanded.

Suddenly, a blue balloon of water appeared on the tower out of thin air, and then the balloon shattered and poured on the firelight, directly extinguishing the firelight of the credit.

The arrows kept shooting, Yan Hongyun looked at an arrow nailed in front of his eyes, and found that this kind of arrow was very rough, the arrow was ground out of bone, and was tied together with a straw rope and a tree pole, and a gray symbol was carved on it, and the symbol was glowing with silver light.

The number of arrows is extremely large, making it difficult for everyone to show their heads.

"Damn! This is the arrow of the demon race, how can no one find it even when it rushes to the front of you! Now the fire of the news has also been extinguished!"

Zheng Wenan said fiercely.

"Wow!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, the arrows began to thin out, and a loud howl and footsteps were heard from under the walls.

Zheng Wenan immediately gave a loud order:

"They're attacking! Archers shoot arrows!"

Yan Hongyun straightened up and looked down, and vaguely saw a group of dark, tall, and spiky humanoid monsters rushing towards the city wall, these monsters had four arms.

It seems that the four-handed human demon clan in the demon race he saw in the book belongs to the low-level demon race, and each of them has the strength equivalent to the first-order transcendent of the human race.

With spiked wooden clubs in their hands and rough wooden bows, they shot arrows and attacked the walls.

These four-handed demons are extremely fast, and can cross several meters with each step.

The soldiers on the city wall kept shooting arrows downward, but it was difficult to shoot these nimble four-handed demons, and in a short time the four-handed demons rushed to the vicinity of the city walls.

The low city wall could not resist them at all, and these four-handed human demons were tall, and when they arrived near the city wall, they quickly formed a human wall and climbed towards the city wall one after another.

"Stone them! Don't let them come up. ”

Yan Hongyun, under the leadership of Zheng Wen'an, lifted the stones around him and threw them down, and several human demons were smashed down.

But there were too many demons, and some of the recruits looked at these terrifying-looking four-handed demons in a panic, screaming and fleeing from the city wall, leaving a large space without defense.

"Damn, it's all for Lao Tzu to come back. ”

Despite Zheng Wenan's shouting, these soldiers did not return.

The four-handed demon climbed the city wall, and the outpost defense completely collapsed.

A demon attacked Yan Hongyun from the left, it was tall, the upper two hands were holding wooden sticks with spikes, and the lower side was holding a long sword in both hands, and it smashed Yan Hongyun up and down.

Looking at the four-handed human demon approaching quickly, Yan Hongyun panicked, all the martial arts he had trained had forgotten at this time, and only a thick fear appeared in his heart.

He had always thought that he was born for the battlefield, but at this time, looking at the terrifying four-handed human demon, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to do.

"Don't be stunned, hide!"

"Boom!"

Zheng Wen'an, who was beside him, kicked him in the ass and kicked him aside, only to dodge the blow.

The four-handed human demon's wooden stick smashed to the ground, and the long sword grazed Yan Hongyun's arm.

Zheng Wen'an had already rushed at this time, and the long sword in his hand stabbed fiercely into the neck of the four-handed human demon, killing him.

And Yan Hongyun hid aside and shivered, he wanted to stand up and fight the demons, but his family's words came to his mind.

"Hong'er, you haven't awakened the ability, don't go to the battlefield, my mother will be worried!"

"Hmph! You still want to go to the battlefield! If you go, you're cannon fodder! I really doubt if you're my son, you don't have the ability to awaken!"

"Good grandson! there's nothing fun on the battlefield! You haven't awakened your abilities, it's too dangerous on the battlefield. You can study at home with peace of mind, and grandpa will bring you back the heads of a few demon leaders!"

......

Since he was a child, everyone always told him that only the transcendent can survive the battlefield.

Now that he is on the battlefield, facing a terrifying enemy, Yan Hongyun is beginning to believe this statement, and his heart keeps telling him that he can't defeat the demons, even if the battle ends in death.

So he crawled into the corner and curled up there, trembling.

Zheng Wen'an killed a four-handed demon who rushed in with difficulty, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes when he looked at Yan Hongyun, who was squatting in the corner and covering his head, but then he was relieved, after all, his first time on the battlefield was not much better.

At this time, there were more and more four-handed demons climbing the city wall, and there were battles everywhere inside and outside the outpost, only a few dozen veterans and a few recruits were left to resist with difficulty, and the rest of the recruits were killed or escaped from the battle.

Some of the four-handed demons had already rushed out of the outpost to hunt down the fleeing recruits and prevent them from reporting to Three Mountains.

Zheng Wen'an squatted down, came to Yan Hongyun's side and said to him: "The defense line is broken, there is no point in holding on any longer, our news fire has been extinguished by the water balloon put by the demon mage, you go to Sanshan City to report the news now." ”

Yan Hongyun hurriedly nodded, he had already had the idea of retreating, and at this time, receiving an order to send a letter was like an amnesty, and immediately got up and ran down the city wall.

At this moment, a four-handed human demon raised a wooden stick and smashed it at Yan Hongyun's back.

"Ding!"

Zheng Wenan raised his long sword to help Yan Hongyun block this blow, but he was beaten back one after another, and after barely stabilizing his figure, he was panting, his hand holding the sword was constantly trembling, and he looked at the four-handed demon in front of him vigilantly.

He is also just an ordinary person who has not awakened, and he is also old, and he has exhausted his physical strength in the thrilling battle, and at this time he has no strength to resist the attacks of humans and demons head-on.

Another nearby four-handed demon also attacked Zheng Wen'an, Zheng Wen'an was smashed to the ground under the attack of the two four-handed human demons, and his arm was trampled off by the demon, letting out a terrible howl.

"Ahh

Yan Hongyun heard the voice behind him, stopped, and turned around to see Zheng Wen'an behind him surrounded by two four-handed human demons.

He stood in place, tears covering his face, the education he received since he was a child and the belief that flowed in his bones made him unable to just give up Zheng Wenan and run away by himself.

He finally mustered up his courage, roared, and rushed towards the wall.

Zheng Wen'an shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Leave me alone! Tell the news of the demon invasion to Sanshan City, and let them be prepared! Hurry up!

Yan Hongyun didn't stop, he hated himself for running away just now, and wanted to save Zheng Wenan, who treated him sincerely.

When Zheng Wenan saw Yan Hongyun rushing over, he directly picked up the long sword and cut his neck, and blood gushed out.

Yan Hongyun stood in place, looked at Zheng Wen'an, who was killing himself, let out an angry roar, and then turned around and ran quickly towards Sanshan City, wanting to tell the people of Sanshan City the news of the demon invasion.

A huge four-handed human demon seemed to see its intentions clearly, howled loudly a few times, and with a finger of his hand, the five four-handed demons immediately nodded, left the battlefield, and chased in the direction of Yan Hongyun's escape.

Between the steep mountain roads, Yan Hongyun ran towards Sanshan City at high speed.

His eyes were full of anger, and his heart was full of anger, not only to the hateful demons, but also to his cowardly self, seeing Zheng Wen'an, who was also his teacher and friend, die in front of him, his heart kept blaming himself.

He wanted to turn around and kill those hateful demons, but he accepted Zheng Wen'an's last order, and now the most important thing is to send a message to Sanshan City.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of breaking the air came from behind him, Yan Hongyun dodged sideways, and an arrow grazed his ear.

Although Yan Hongyun did not have the ability to awaken, he grew up in the Jiangmen family since he was a child, and he was trained by the family, and his martial arts skills were very solid.

Sensing that a monster was chasing behind him, Yan Hongyun accelerated his speed while listening to the sound of breaking wind behind him, dodging the arrows.

"Damn! I'm chasing so hard, why am I not extraordinary! If I were extraordinary, I could kill them all! I want to live! Only by living can I avenge the sentry commander!"

A strong desire to survive came to his heart, and the pendant around his neck emitted a faint glint that he himself did not notice.

"Bang!"

Yan Hongyun didn't pay attention to his feet, and a stone tripped him to the ground.

Looking at the monster that was gradually approaching in front of him, Yan Hongyun kept retreating with his hands supporting his body, but he immediately mustered up his courage and stood up with his long sword.

With a spear in his hand, he stood up and half-crouched, looking at these four-handed demons half a body taller than himself.

......

"Ding!Quest: Help the Invoker, complete the quest and reward 100 Creation Points. ”

What Li Xin'an saw on the chessboard was the scene where Yan Hongyun was being chased and killed, and the form Yan Hongyun was facing at this time was already very crisis.
