Li Maicheng was eating food in the wing room of Jikang Palace, at this time General Chen Wanshui came, he saw Li Maicheng drinking oatmeal porridge, and said: "Maicheng, you eat slowly, after a while, you Han monks will go out of this dungeon with me, go up to the ground, and go to the old Jikang City where there is Jimo Mountain ten miles away, the old Jikang City is built on the mountain, a few years ago it was attacked by monsters, and the lives were devastated, since then the mountain city has become a ruined city, everywhere is ruined, dilapidated, we are forced to flee to this dungeon. ”

Li Maicheng said: "It's sad to hear this, I want to know what kind of monster it was at that time, and what did it look like?"

General Chen said, "It's a lizard spirit." The lizard spirits came from the Gobi Desert in the north, but the north is now the territory of the Xiongnu. So those lizard spirits nest in the Hun territory, we have killed several waves, but it is not finished, one night, those lizard spirit army broke through our mountain city, bitten to death a lot of innocent people, this mountain city became ruined, no way, His Majesty King Jing had to take the people to escape to this dungeon. ”

Li Maicheng ate the flatbread and said, "Those lizard spirits are too rampant, how big are they?"

General Chen said: "Those lizard spirits all look like lizards, their bodies are humanoid, they are eight feet tall, some of them have very sharp claws, some of them hold long fork weapons, they are full of fangs, of course, they will also transform into a ten-foot long lizard, they attacked the city and saw the people bite at that time, we finally suffered a fiasco, and escaped from the old Jikang City of Jimo Mountain. ”

Li Maicheng said: "How many people are there in their lizard spirit army?"

General Chen said: "I also participated in the war at that time, and at a glance, there were thousands of lizard spirits, but there were three leaders in their army, one was a chameleon, one was a giant lizard, and the other was a sand lizard king, and those three leaders hacked and killed many of our generals." We were defeated so badly that we fled, and then some of those lizard spirits were still in the Jimo Mountain, and the rest disappeared, and King Jing saw that the palace city on the Jimo Mountain was in ruins, and it was impossible to rebuild, so he took us to escape to this underground city. ”

Li Maicheng said: "General Chen, it seems that those lizard spirits are not easy to deal with, I will take my junior brothers and sisters to follow you to the old Jikang City of Jimo Mountain to take a look." ”

General Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do this first." ”

Then Li Maicheng finished eating, and called Zhou Xiaotian, Su Chengxuan, Jin Xiqing, and Wu Shitong to their four junior brothers and sisters, leaving the koi monster, the giant ape monster and Bai Ruoxue in the dungeon to protect Zhang Qian and the soldiers of the mission.

Then General Chen took more than 100 soldiers in heavy armor, and Li Maicheng and them went out of the dungeon, went to the ground, and then marched on foot to Jimo Mountain.

Walking in that desolate mountainous area, from time to time there were statues of generals in the fields, Li Maicheng saw this and asked General Chen curiously: "General Chen, what are those statues of generals?"

General Chen sighed: "Those generals are the former fierce generals of my Jikang City, and the statues made for them are to commemorate those warriors who fought in all directions, but since the fall of the old Jikang City, the statues of those generals have also been destroyed. ”

Li Maicheng said: "It's a pity, I see that there are many dilapidated earthen houses along the road, and they must have been lived by the people before." ”

General Chen nodded and said, "Yes, these earthen houses used to be lived in by the common people, and then the plague of the lizard spirits, some of them were bitten to death by the lizard spirits, and some fled to this dungeon. ”

Li Maicheng said as he walked, "General Chen, don't you have demon hunters and cultivators in Jikang City, they can help stop those lizard spirits." ”

General Chen sighed and said: "Maicheng, it's not a secret, they have all died in battle, those lizard spirits are too powerful, and there are many of them, we are not their opponents at all." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

Li Maicheng and General Chen walked in the mountains, walked through the mountains and forests, the ruins, and finally came to the foot of the Jimo Mountain, looking at the Jimo Mountain, only to see that the Jimo Mountain was full of dilapidated pavilions and palace walls, those city walls had already been breached, and the mountain city was full of ruins, and you could see that there were lizard spirits scurrying around from time to time in the ruins.

General Chen pointed to the scurrying lizard spirit to Li Maicheng, and Li Maicheng really saw it.

Li Maicheng immediately said: "General Chen, you and the soldiers are waiting here, and I flew over with the five of my junior brothers and sisters to kill the lizard spirit." ”

General Chen nodded and said, "Okay, you have to be careful." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay." ”

Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and Wu Shitong flew to the broken wall to slash and kill the lizard spirit.

I saw that the lizard demon was really a lizard head and a human body, and they flew over, and immediately attracted more than a dozen lizard spirits to surround them.

Li Maicheng flew over with the Zhuying Sword and slashed the lizard essence, the lizard essence flashed, and then waved a long fork to stab Li Maicheng, Li Maicheng didn't have time to dodge, at this time, a strong man in armor and a gray face rushed out of this broken house with a sword and stabbed the lizard spirit to death, Li Maicheng saw this and thanked him: "Thank you strong man." ”

The strong man said, "No thanks, be careful." ”

At this time, another lizard spirit stabbed Li Maicheng with a long fork, and Li Maicheng quickly swung the shadow sword and stabbed him to death.

And Su Chengxuan jumped on the ruins with the Qinglong Sword, slashing and killing those lizard demons while jumping, and Jin Xiqing took the Jiuhua Sword to slash and kill the lizard demons one by one.

Wu Shitong turned into a big rhinoceros and hit the lizard spirits one by one with the sharp horns on his head, and Zhou Xiaotian also took the Xuanming Sword and frantically slashed and killed those lizard spirits.

Seeing this, General Chen immediately pounced with those heavily armored soldiers and slashed the lizard demons one by one. The soldiers slashed, and one by one the lizard goblins fell, slashing and chopping, and saw that there were still two of them left.

Li Maicheng hurriedly shouted: "Brothers, stop it, let those two little demons go, let them go back to report the news, and call their lizard army." ”

General Chen nodded and said, "Okay then." "Love me

Then Li Maicheng and the others let go of the two lizard demons, and after a while, the two little demons fled and fled to the north.

Wu Shitong saw that those lizard demons were beaten away, and then turned into a human form, Li Maicheng was very curious about this strong man who came to the rescue, he said: "Zhuangshi, in Xia Li Maicheng, we are the envoy of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, passing by this place Jikang City, so help General Chen and them subdue the demons, may I ask the name of the strong man?"

The strong man said: "In Xiayue Zhique, I am also the people of Jikang City, I used to be a cultivator, a few years ago the lizard army came to attack Jikang City, and I also came to help with the Taoists of Jiqian Mountain, and then we were defeated, and this Jikang City became a ruin. ”

Li Maicheng said: "I see, I will be lucky." ”

General Chen said: "Maicheng, Yue Zhique is right, it is true that a few years ago, in the Battle of Jikang City, the Taoists of Jiqian Mountain came to help, but it was too tragic at that time, most of them died in battle, and some of them disappeared. ”

Li Maicheng said: "I see, what is General Chen's plan now?"

General Chen thought for a moment and said, "In a while, it is estimated that the lizard spirit army will come, so let's wait here first." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Then more than a hundred of us are not the opponent of their army of thousands of lizards." ”

General Chen said: "If it's too late to call for reinforcements now, what if it's still ten miles away?"

Li Maicheng said: "I asked my junior sister to shout, she can fly, she will be very fast." ”

General Chen said: "Okay then, then let King Jing send a thousand cavalry from the dungeon to help, the sooner the better." ”

Li Maicheng said: "That's good, I'll ask my junior sister to call the giant ape monster and my wife Bai Ruoxue too." ”

General Chen said, "That's good. ”

Jin Xiqing said: "Okay, I understand, I'll fly back and call for reinforcements." ”

Then Jin Xiqing flew away in the clouds.

After flying away, Li Maicheng said, "General Chen, the lizard army is coming, we have to prepare some fortifications." ”

General Chen thought for a moment and said: "Maicheng, I thought of it, there is an underground palace under the ruins of this old Jikang City, which stores a large number of bows and arrows, as well as stone throwers, and various weapons. ”

Li Maicheng said: "That's great, let the soldiers go to the underground palace to bring up those bows and arrows, and bring up the stone thrower, and we will strengthen the fortifications and prepare for battle." ”

General Chen said: "Okay, I'll order the soldiers to do it." ”

Then General Chen ordered the heavily armored soldiers to go to the underground palace to carry bows and arrows and stone throwers.

And Li Maicheng stood on the ruins and looked at Yue Zhique curiously, he saw that Yue Zhique's face was dark yellow, gray and dirty, but very strong.

Li Maicheng said to Yue Zhique: "Brother Zhique, you have been in this abandoned city for a few years. ”

Yue Zhique nodded and said, "Yes, it's been three years, and there used to be more than a dozen brothers with me, but then they were all killed by those lizard spirits, and then I was the only one." ”

Li Maicheng said: "It's really miserable, by the way, how have you survived all these years?"

Yue Zhique sighed and said, "Survive for a long time, Maicheng, let me take you to see the small earthen house where I live." ”

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Zhique." ”

Then Yue Zhique took Li Maicheng to a small earthen house under the ruins, while Su Chengxuan and Wu Shitong were holding weapons, looking around and on guard.

Yue Zhique walked through the ruins, and finally took Li Maicheng to a dilapidated earthen house, after the two of them entered, they saw that the earthen house was a mess on the ground, there was a pot, a tattered bed, a few bottles and cans, and a few bamboo slips.

Seeing this, Li Maicheng said: "Brother Zhique, it is not easy for you to eat and sleep in the open all these years. ”

Yue Zhique said: "Yes, I stick to this place and hope that one day I can recover this place, rebuild here, and there will be peace and tranquility everywhere." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Brother Zhique, you will, believe in yourself, that day will come." ”

Yue Zhique said: "Okay, I hope it will." ”
