Before Ji Ao could finish laughing, he heard a loud bang again, but this time the gunpowder was different from before, but it was loaded with an arrow and shot directly into the main hall.

Of course, the lethality of such a rocket is not very large, but the momentum is really scary when hundreds of rockets are launched at the same time.

The most important thing is that Ji Ao didn't expect that someone outside would take such a method that could hurt the hostages. Suddenly, a rocket hit a palace maid who had no time to dodge, and immediately opened a bloody hole in her abdomen.

"Hmph!" Ji Ao's mind turned, and he understood the plan of the outsiders.

It is conceivable that the reason before the people must be "the interests of the country are higher than the emperor".

In other words, in the current situation where the yokai occupy the throne, in order to protect the interests and dignity of the country, the only way to destroy the yokai is to do whatever it takes, even at the expense of the emperor and other imperial hostages.

But what is the truth? Inevitably, there will always be one or two people in a country who covet the throne.

In such a critical situation, if this ambitious person controls the situation outside, there will be several people vying for the throne and trying to find an excuse to get rid of the emperor inside, which is normal and easy to understand.

"How did I forget, they are 'humans' now......" Ji Ao muttered, "Humans, that's the face......"

Jin Hotaru casts spells to protect herself and Lu Qing, as well as the hostages, but the hostages who are so frightened that they run for their lives inevitably cause difficulties for him to cast spells.

Jin Hotaru frowned slightly, considering whether to rush out and deal with those who shot arrows.

Several of the hostages were lucky enough to break free from the ropes and desperately escaped from the main hall, waving their arms and shouting their names. Just as several rockets were fired, one was killed on the spot, and the other fell to the ground groaning, and he couldn't see it.

"As long as they do this in the first place, they will continue to do it without stopping......" Ji Ao hid behind Jin Hotatsu, using his friend as a shield.

"If the emperor can get out alive, it will be bad for those guys outside. He scratched his head and grunted.

"You protect Lu Qing, I'll go out to deal with them!" Jin Ying raised her foot and just wanted to leave, but was pulled by Ji Ao, "Forget it, forget it, let's go." ”

"Let's go?"

"Yes, let's go," Ji Ao glared at him, "take Lu Qing and leave here with you." ”

"That'...... What about your plans?"

Ji Ao waved his hand and said impassionedly: "The rise and fall is only a moment, the world is fleeting, why should I be in love with the glory and wealth for a while!"

"I'm talking about finding Yan'er and returning to the human realm. ”

"Oh, by the way, I forgot all these things, hahaha......"

Jin Ying looked at Ji Ao coldly, ready to withdraw the spell cast for him, he really wanted those rockets to shoot him directly.

"Actually, I was thinking that as long as this guy survives this incident, the country will be in chaos and we don't need to stay here at all. Ji Ao raised his hand and held the emperor in his hand in front of him.

"You should know who is behind the scenes and wants to get rid of you together, right?" he asked the Ninety-Five, who was trembling with fear.

"Cluck, cluck...... "This emperor is actually not a timid person.

But if there is a rocket "swishing" on the head, and you are carried by a monster in your hand, and when you look up, you can see the shape of the monster's sharp teeth, anyone will fight with teeth.

Ji Ao looked at him contemptuously and said, "What you emperor has done is too incompetent, you can't even understand such a trivial matter as seeking power and usurping the throne, it's really useless!"

"Aren't you the one who usurped the throne?" But the old emperor didn't dare to say, he thought about it in private, "yes, yes, it's him......"

"So, do you know who that person is?"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's good, then I'll let you go, and you can avenge yourself. Ji Ao said with a smile like a wolf grandmother.

"This kind of villain who takes advantage of people's danger, you must not let him go! Come on!" After speaking, he also held the other party's shoulder and shook it vigorously to show encouragement. Then he put the emperor down and affectionately patted him on the shoulder.

"Can I go now?" asked Hotaru as the buildings around them were already on fire.

"Let's go!" Ji Ao said as he drew a spell in the air with his finger, a little outward, the spell opened in front of them like a transparent wall, and as soon as the rocket hit it, it immediately exploded, and sparks flew everywhere, as beautiful as if they were setting off fireworks.

Ji Ao hugged the old emperor, Jin Ying protected Lu Qing, and they walked out under the cover of this spell.

Lu Qing walked behind Ji Ao, Jin Hotaru followed her closely, his hand seemed to be on her shoulder, half helping and half pushing her, in fact, his hand did not touch her body, just placed there, Lu Qing knew this very well.

She didn't know which was more reassuring to her, this respect for her, or the other situation, because something deeper and more troublesome was surging in her heart.

Arrows and crossbows flew sideways, flames erupted, human screams and cries for help sounded all around, the sound of building collapse and even shouts of killing, blood stumps and corpses came into view one after another, and several palace maids lay motionless on the ground, they did not die, but fainted because of excessive panic.

"That's how women ......," Lu Qing thought, but at the same time, her heart was at ease with her surroundings, as if it were a matter of course that there was chaos and death.

"Yes...... I'm hungry, but I don't want to eat humans, I can't eat humans......" she thought involuntarily as the smell of blood hit her nose.

Humans? I don't know when she started calling them that.

Is what Hotaru said true? I'm not human, I'm ...... Zombie, in fact, she knew from the beginning that Jin Hotaru would not lie to herself, so what if she was really not human?

At this time, there were more and more dead and wounded inside and outside the main hall, and some of the injured were in pain and urgency, and even showed the original state of the monster.

Some of them grabbed the corpses next to them or the blood-stained people and stuffed them into their mouths, and some roared and attacked everywhere. Jin Hotaru walked at the back, dealing with these guys.

A palace maid was blown off a hand by a rocket, and fell to the ground in pain*, but was stepped on by Ji Ao and the emperor in his hand one after another. She couldn't stand the worse of the situation, and finally she howled a few times with her neck straight, and turned into a youkai and stood up.

At this time, Ji Ao had already walked over, and Jin Hotaru was still ten steps away, fighting another monster.

The maid had turned into a giant otter, her eyes bloodshot and her huge teeth exposed, and its severed right front paw was dripping with blood, just blocking Lu Qing's path.

The blood from its wound dripped down to the ground and splashed on the corner of Lu Qing's skirt, and it bit down on the woman in front of it without even thinking about it, the otter was more than four meters high, this bite was enough to bite a woman in two, right?

Lu Qing knew that she was in danger, and she also knew that Jin Ying and Ji Ao were too late to save herself, but for some reason, she just couldn't be scared in her heart, she just looked at the bloody mouth on the top of her head and bit down on herself.

"Lu Qing, it's just a low-level youkai, it's easy for you to kill it! Hurry up!" Jin Hotaru grabbed the shadow knife and stabbed at the youkai who was fighting him, shouting and pounced, and he didn't even care about the youkai sticking its claws into his shoulder when he was dying.

Lu Qing didn't put up any resistance, just glanced back at Jin Hotaru......

The otter pounced on her, and with a wail, blood splattered out......

"Lu Qing!" Jin Hotaru shouted, and through the blood curtain, she saw that half of the otter's head had fallen off her body and flew out, while Lu Qing was still standing there, her hair down.

"Lu Qing!" This time, there was only surprise in Jin Hotaru's voice, and Jin Hotaru took her hand and pulled her a few steps over, for fear that she would be hit by the head of the half of the otter that fell.
