Volume 1: The Last Days Chapter 263: A Strong Calling
200,000 ordinary Western humans are resting in small towns.
The monks were responsible for the defense, and the zombies on the ground were united by several Holy Guards of the Earth Shadow Gate and the Earth Mages of the Brave Alliance to build earthen walls between the gaps in the remaining buildings, and more advanced zombies were to defend against the air attack.
This is the difficulty of walking through the last days with ordinary human beings.
Not only is there no combat power in the face of low-level zombies, but every time you walk for hours in a row, you have to stop and rest.
Hunger, thirst, and labor, each of which is delaying the efficiency of the march.
Many people in the town are tired and sleeping, but there are also many people standing in the open space trying to make strange movements.
If this picture is seen by any Chinese person, he will recognize that this action is from the most famous "Nine Forging Opera" in China.
At the beginning, after Li Tianxia arrived at the Brave Alliance, he learned that they still had 200,000 ordinary people who had no cultivation.
It was his decision to save the sheer number of humans, but he racked his brains to come up with this reluctant solution.
And boldly took out 200,000 high-grade spirit stones and distributed them to everyone's hands equally, so that when they practiced the "Nine Forging Opera", they could get enough spiritual energy support and make their bodies stronger faster.
The journey back to the east is more than 3,000 kilometers.
With an average human being able to walk 40-50 kilometers a day, it takes at least 60 days to reach the Chinese border.
It's just that there are not only young adults in this civilian team, but also some old people and children, and the deviation of the system of these people has greatly slowed down the speed of travel, and it is not easy to walk 20 kilometers a day, so it will take up to 150 days to go back.
Li Tianxia didn't know how the Bright Sect would help him hold Jin Weiyang for two months.
But he knew that only by increasing the speed of civilians and being able to enter China a day earlier could he be truly safe.
That's why this scene in front of me appeared.
A month later, on the plains where Eastern Europe meets Central Asia.
The ranks of Western civilians are moving smoothly.
With the help of the spirit stone, compared with a month ago, the physical fitness of the civilians has been greatly improved, and the speed of movement has increased a lot, and even the elderly who are not very convenient for their legs and feet can almost catch up with the footsteps of the youth, and the families with children are more able to afford the weight of their children.
This is the benefit of the spirit stone, you must know that in Huaxia, even if the Qi cultivation period monk who has stepped into the ranks of cultivators, he does not see a complete high-grade spirit stone on his body.
Li Tianxia walked at the front of the team, glanced at the map in his hand, and gradually changed direction.
"Senior brother, this is the fifth time you have changed direction, and following this route will be at least a few hundred kilometers longer than the way we went back. ”
Zhili was puzzled, in recent days, Li Tianxia's heart has become more and more heavy, and every time everyone asks him, he shakes his head and is silent.
I thought it would be the same this time, but I heard him say solemnly: "Actually, I have always had a premonition that a terrible crisis is coming, and this premonition is getting stronger and stronger. ”
"Crisis, why didn't you say it before?"
Yu Yi asked in a deep voice, the monk comprehended the heaven and the earth, and was committed to transcending the five elements of the immortal heaven and earth, and many times this illusory and ethereal feeling was not groundless.
Li Tianxia said: "After all, it's just a premonition, and I don't dare to guess anything that is unfounded, which disturbs the morale of the army." ”
"Could it be that you are too nervous and have a problem with your perception?" asked Duon, the fighting boss of the Brave Alliance, tactfully.
Li Tianxia shook his head and said, "I thought so before, but this feeling is too clear these days. ”
Yu Yi trusted Li Tianxia's feelings very much, and said: "I may question other people's words, but his feelings should be taken seriously." ”
At this time, the Dark Speaker Gambarton also spoke up: "I practice dark magic and am good at cursing, and after the city lord said this, I seem to smell a little disaster. ”
"This... ”
The mood of the crowd suddenly became heavy.
Now that I am in the wilderness, if something really happens, not to mention the annihilation of the whole army, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape a tenth of the people.
The astute Theyes asked, "So if you change the direction of travel continuously, is there any solution?"
Li Tianxia nodded, shook his head again, and said, "I can't say any solution, but I know a place, if we can get there quickly, maybe there will be a chance to breathe." ”
"Where is it? Haven't you never been out of Huaxia all this time? How can you have a place to take refuge here?" asked Yu Yu in surprise.
Li Tianxia scratched his head and said, "I don't know, anyway, if we want to save these civilians back to Huaxia, we must go in this direction." ”
Li Tianxia's plan sounded so unreliable, but he didn't wait for others to raise more questions.
A red-armored holy guard of the Earth Shadow Gate emerged from the land not far from them.
"Report to the city lord, the great commander, the rear surveillance, an hour ago, Jin Weiyang led the Shanhai Alliance to break through the barrier of the Bright Sect, and it is expected to catch up with our team in a day. ”
"What?!It's really so fast!" Doon looked at Li Tianxia again, shocked more than surprised.
"Is the Shanhai Alliance already so powerful?" The young priest Ezekiel had already informed the big guys of the Pope's method of trapping Jin Weiyang, so several people were even more surprised.
The expected thing had already happened, and Li Tianxia didn't have time to waste any more time, so he pointed in the direction of the southeast with one hand and shouted loudly: "Marching at full speed!"
There are still nearly 100 kilometers away from the premonition location, and whether you can escape smoothly depends on the will of God.
Li Tianxia didn't pass on the specific news, but with such a sudden speed, any children who were not yet sensible realized that something serious was about to happen, and they were all well-behaved and did not make noise.
In the crisis, everyone ran as hard as they could, and those who were really not fast and physically weak would also be carried by the monks around them, and the marching speed of the whole team exceeded more than doubled.
On the way, spies assigned to the rear would arrive every hour to report the situation in the rear.
When he continued to run until day and night, a holy guard of the Earth Shadow Gate came out of the soil covered in blood, and said sadly: "City Lord, the Mountain and Sea Alliance is less than two hundred kilometers away from us, we were discovered by the Baqi Snake, Zhao Liang has been seriously injured and comatose in order to cover me leaving, and the head of the sect is being treated. ”
This is the first time since the Tianchi Holy Land came out that anyone in the Holy Guard has been injured so seriously.
Li Tianxia and the others have heavy thoughts, every holy guard is a partner in life and death, and he is also the most gifted monk in time, and each of them is the hope of the future of mankind.
If you are buried in a foreign country like this, it is really heart-wrenching.
Li Tianxia couldn't stay.
"Tell Zhao Fang that at all costs, you must keep Zhao Liang's life. ”
Not far away, a large rushing river appeared.
Seeing this, Li Tianxia took out the Hammurabi Codex from the black stone ring, which was already dark and golden.
Holding it in his hand, the feeling of summoning was even more obvious, and a physical rope almost appeared on the book, dragging Li Tianxia to fly in the direction of the river.
He resolutely turned the pages of the book, and those ancient words, which he still couldn't understand, were bright and dazzling, and they were actually projected into the air, imprinting the light and shadow of those words in the air.
"Let the light of righteousness shine upon the earth ... City Lord, this is an ancient text!"
Yi Zichu has been staying at the head of the team, not far behind Li Tianxia, at this time he saw the words that suddenly appeared in the sky, and flew over in a crazy way, he has always respected the etiquette, regardless of his status and humility, squeezed through a few distraction periods, came to Li Tianxia's side, looking at the words in the sky, his eyes were obsessed with colors.
"Zichu recognizes these words?"
After Li Tianxia finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, every disciple of the Jixia School Palace could learn through the past and the present, and read all the books, but unlike a "uneducated" person like him, it is not an exaggeration to know the ancient writing.
And Yi Zichu seemed to be completely immersed in those words, and no matter how Li Tianxia called, he couldn't return to his senses.
As a last resort, it wasn't until he roughly closed the code and the golden projection in the sky disappeared that Yi Zichu came back to his senses.
"No, I'm sorry, I lost my temper. ”
Yi Zichu saw the strange eyes of the people around him, and apologized again and again in shame.
"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been able to recognize what the text on it is, but I forgot that there is such a talented person from the school palace as Zichu around me. ”
Li Tianxia saw that Yi Zichu's eyes returned to clarity, and slowly opened the code again.
"I only know that the rubbings on it should be like the Code of Hammurabi, but I can't understand the meaning of the words, Zichu should be able to recognize it, right?"
Yi Zichu nodded and said, "What the city lord said is right, what is recorded on it is the content of the Code of Hammurabi, but the important thing is not in the content, but in these words. ”
"Oh, what kind of mystery is contained in these words?" asked Li Tianxia again.
"The power of rules. ”
Yi Zichu paused word by word, a pious look appeared on his face, and continued: "The city lord knows that my academy is majoring in the avenue of words, but he doesn't know that this avenue has evolved to the extreme, and what has been spawned is the power of rules. In a word, it is a supreme power to set the rules for the reproduction of all things and to restrain the behavior norms of all things. ”
"There is still such a domineering power?" Li Tianxia couldn't help but have a strong interest in the Avenue of Words.
"Of course, the written word is the foundation of civilization, and it gives the ability to sublimate the spirit of life, and even we monks cannot escape his influence. Yi Zichu said proudly.
"Okay, after I go back this time, Zichu will bother to teach me the avenue of words, and after I finish learning, this code will be yours. Li Tianxia checked the code in his hand and said with a smile.
"Ah, thank you City Lord, Zichu must study carefully and realize the true power of words for our Tianxia City!" Yi Zichu was overjoyed and rubbed his palms excitedly.
"Heh, that's really generous, I don't think this book is of a low grade, right?" Tries quipped with a smile.
Yu Yi immediately sneered disdainfully: "What is this? He gave away more valuable than this, I don't know how much." ”
"Cut, didn't you know him a few days before me? ”
Theyes stroked her long golden hair, and leaned directly on Li Tianxia's body in a bold manner, and the silky touch on her forearm seemed to be clearly felt through her clothes.
"Westerners really don't know how to respect themselves, how can they let you take advantage of you in vain?"
After saying that, Yu Yi also leaned on Li Tianxia's body, and glared at the provocative Theyes not to be outdone.
A trace of electric spark formed out of thin air in Li Tianxia's chest.
He was caught in the middle and was so embarrassed that he had to say, "You guys are like this, are you really not crowded?"
"Don't squeeze!"
"Don't squeeze!"
The two women spoke in unison.
Li Tianxia was as if he had been kidnapped, and he was caught like this.
