Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Fungal Plague Princess Fei Qi

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what she meant. However, Su Yue was the first to react, pulled out the golden knife, squatted down and began to dig the soil. Dianyin immediately followed him to dig up the earth. The four-clothed woman looked at the long sword in her hand, and as soon as she turned around, she rushed towards the soldiers of Yata.

Tong Xi wants to borrow Dianyin's knife to use it, but where can she dig it?

"Be careful when you dig, don't hurt the fibrous roots, and don't uproot them. You are so strong that when you dig up the roots, you have to lift the clods of soil under the roots with your knife and give them to me. Princess Heron said awe-inspiringly.

Everyone said yes, Su Yue raised the golden knife, slammed a few times at a root in all directions, and then gently picked up a piece of soil with a beard root. Princess Heron gently spread the fibrous soil across the ground and sat cross-legged.

"You protect me. When he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said something in his mouth.

Su Yue and Dianyin understood, blocking Princess Heron one after the other.

In the distance, Yata seemed to sense the ominous. The soldiers on the front line suddenly became extremely brave, desperately trying to break out of the defense line of the four-clothed plain girl and Liao Tingyun, but fortunately they swore to resist. Some cavalrymen crossed the forest and tried to outflank them from the oblique side, but they were also put down by Su and Dian with horses and men.

The sun has not yet set, and the full moon has appeared on the horizon.

Princess Heron had a happy face on her face, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw countless green arrows piercing the ground, and countless green vines spread out like slender tentacles. Countless green vines converged into a stream that had spread to the soles of their feet. Su Yue and the others changed their faces one by one, watching countless arrows rain falling, and felt that they still couldn't escape this catastrophe today.

When she was frowning, the princess of the heron made a decision in her mouth, her palm suddenly spread out, and she stretched it upwards violently, and she heard the sound of squirming between the trees, and the sound of branches breaking was endless, and then they flew into the air, just hitting those magic potato arrows. As soon as the green arrows were shot into the air, they fell one after another, falling on the heads of the archers. The one who harms others will eventually harm himself, and there is chaos in the rear of Yata.

But before he could deal with the soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness, white fungi were constantly flying out of the excavated root soil, like agile elves, which could spread quickly even with the slightest breeze. Soon, there was a faint smell of mildew in the air. After touching the fungus, the thick twigs and green leaves left by the branches that had just broken off touched the fungus, and quickly changed color and rotted in the mass multiplication of the fungus, and all kinds of mushrooms, fungus, enoki mushrooms, and fragrant mushrooms suddenly emerged next to the roots, on the fallen trunks, and in the rapidly decaying branches and leaves. The soldiers were unaware of the changes around them, and they were still fierce enough to break through the defense line and take the princess's life, but the exertional force made them breathe faster, and the inhaled bacteria flowed rapidly through their bodies. The soldiers soon stiffened, their faces were distorted, and they showed extreme pain, they couldn't lift their legs and feet, and they couldn't lift their knives and guns, so that Liao Tingyun and the four-clothed plain girl were so unhappy to kill. However, they soon stopped in fright, for the soldiers who had sucked the fungus continued to change, and after their bodies were so stiff that they could not move, they began to grow green spots from the head down, first from the forehead, to the eyebrows, and then to the eyes. The eyes turn dark gray, and small light green hairs grow in the pupils. A sword slashed at the neck like a bundle of rotten straw, and the head fell lightly to the ground, without spilling a drop of blood. The green spots on the epidermis are shaken, and a lot of green dust is ejected. Liao Tingyun and the others instinctively rolled up their sleeves to cover their mouths and noses, and hurriedly retreated.

Princess Heron said in the back: "Don't worry, the fungus is harmless to ordinary people." Stand down, these people don't threaten us anymore. ”

While he was talking, a horseman rushed forward with a halberd, but before he could reach it, the halberd was lost, and then the man fell from his horse, and splashed green dust on the ground, but the horse only sneezed, and walked back slowly. Liao Tingyun saw that Ma was no different, so he put his mind at ease.

The soldiers who inhaled the fungus and were not cut down gathered in twos and threes. They are covered in green spots, their foreheads are facing the sky, their green hairy eyes look up at the sky blankly, and a thin and long milky white stipe slowly grows at the center of their eyebrows, the top of the stipe is the fungus, and when the stipe stops growing, the fungus will open, and countless spores will float away from the cap in the wind, looking for the next host.

As soon as Yata turned, the soldiers retreated in a hurry, and the infected sergeants were brutally abandoned by their comrades who were fighting side by side after showing symptoms.

Yata knew that this was the time to run into an adversary.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Several times forced Su Yue and others into a desperate situation, Yata, who once had an absolute advantage, gave an order in person for the first time.

But his shouts didn't mean much. Although the soldiers were in a hurry to retreat, there were still people who were left behind due to inhalation of spores, and Su Yue and Princess Lu couldn't launch a counterattack because there were too few people, but it was more than enough to break through.

Both groups went in the direction of the city gate. Su Yue, Princess Lu and others wanted to escape from Penglai, and Yata wanted to join the large army and surround them in the city before them.

Before leaving, Princess Heron gently folded a few mushrooms from the heads of several dead soldiers, and she abandoned the sedan chair for convenience.

Not long after Su and Lu ran to the city gate, Su Yue saw a small strip-shaped mound on the left side of the road, so he led the crowd: "Follow me." As he spoke, he led the way to the mound.

Somehow, but knowing that he had his own reason for doing so, they all followed him. Just a few steps after running, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Yu Tingyun, Dian Yin and the others turned their heads and just wanted to take a look, and a strong iron arrow had already shot towards them in an instant. Dian and Liao protected Tong Xi, and the four-clothed plain girl protected Princess Lu, and hurriedly hid in the mound.

No sooner had they run over the mound than more iron arrows rained down on the mound. The cavalry were also afraid of the fungal spores of the princess and did not dare to approach, but most of the cavalry were old archers who were familiar with archers and horses, and their arrows were shot towards the sky, shot into the air and then fell down. Fortunately, the mound wall is steep, and everyone clings to the steep wall to avoid this rain of arrows.

"How did the general expect this?" asked Princess Heron.

Su Yue smiled: "I didn't expect it, I just thought from Yata's point of view, if it were me, in order to block you, I would definitely send a cavalry to shoot arrows to harass." ”

Everyone secretly admired Su Yue's courage and resourcefulness. However, in the name of Pihu and Sword Demon, it is indeed a little embarrassing to avoid the rain of arrows in such a posture close to the mountain wall. Liao Tingyun couldn't stand this kind of, so he had to cross the mound and kill it.

Su Yue grabbed her.

"You see that this arrow is so dense, there are not a dozen or twenty people on the other side, and they don't care about the life or death of their comrades when they kill people. Liao Tingyun understood the meaning of his words. It is indeed easy to kill a few archers with their own flowing swordsmanship, but they have a lot of archers, even if they rush in, they can't be cleaned up quickly, and the most important thing is that even if they blend into the team of archers, they will not care about the lives of their comrades and continue to shoot arrows at themselves, and the time will be unpredictable.

"Then what should we do? When they get out of the city gate and close the city gate again, we will be turtles in the urn!"

Princess Lu carefully took out the fungus that had just been folded and wanted to hand it over to Dian Yin, but as soon as she changed her hand, she handed it to Su Yue: "Can the general throw it over the mound?"

Tong Rhino picked up a stone, Su Yue understood, gently tied the stone and the stalk together, and threw it upward, seeing that the stone that bound the stalk was getting smaller and smaller, until it passed the mound.

After a while, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped sparsely, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away. When I climbed over the mound, I saw five or six corpses with mushrooms on their heads lying not far away, and a few horses with snorts.

The wall of the city gate was an ancient yellow wall, the gate was open, and the soldiers surged out of the city like a rushing flood, chaotic but not messy, and there was no trampling or quarrelling. When Su and Lu ran to the city gate, the "flood" suddenly stopped, and the people who went out of the city gate ran in three steps and two steps, and those who did not go out of the city gate turned around and retreated, and there was a stampede inside and outside the city, and dozens of soldiers were trampled and crushed.

There is no difference between outside the city gate and inside the city gate, the sound of chaotic footsteps raises a heavy dust for a long time, but for Tong Xi and Princess Heron, who have just escaped from the demon cave, the dust is permeated, as if it is the fragrant earthy smell of spring.

It was the breath of life after a long period of slaughter.

But their relaxation did not last long, and when the dust finally cleared away with the wind, they were greeted by black armor and human faces that could not be seen at a glance.

Atta finally walked out of the city gate and set up her position outside.

"Turn around and see, what kind of gate is this?" said Yata in the midst of the cavalry, who was protected by heavy infantry and showed a different kind of composure.

Someone turned his head to look, and saw three big characters engraved on the brown wooden board on the top of the city gate:

Zhenzheng Gate.

"You demons, you will die here today. ”

Su Yue sneered and said softly: "I don't know who is the demon." ”

Princess Heron said loudly: "I have broken your technique, how dare you come to die?"

"The master has been operating here for decades, what do you think this little skill of carving insects can do to me?" After speaking, he looked at everyone with arrogant eyes, and said: "But the master also has to admit that you are indeed capable and a rare opponent, and the master does not want to make unnecessary sacrifices." As long as I leave my own master, a fellow Qi tribe, behind, I will let you go, how about it?"

Liao Tingyun sneered: "Let us go, how do you explain to your lord." ”

"What to explain or not, only when you are happy to respect her majesty, the lord of Penglai City is me and not her. Yata said this proudly, and suddenly laughed again, and her originally tense cheeks relaxed with the smile:

"Leave my people behind, and let you go immediately, Atta is the man of his word, otherwise even if more than half of the dead and wounded, you will not be left alive today. There was a sense of determination in his gentle tone, which seemed a little neither humble nor arrogant.

"My lord, you're pretty good at acting, but we're not stupid either, and we don't fall in the same place twice. ”

"Since this is the case, then you will definitely die, this matter is related to the life and death of my Penglai City, and the master will not pay attention to it. ”

Except for Su Yue, no one here has ever seen so many soldiers emerge at the same time. The soldiers in the front row had a clear appearance, but they couldn't see where the last row was, as if it had spread into the infinite distance. As everyone knows, Yatta's words are true, tens of thousands of well-trained elite soldiers are desperately attacking, and no matter how powerful the spores are, it is impossible for them to spread so quickly. The best support is also the result of the same end.

Atta did not give them time to think about it, and the soldiers shouted loudly and rushed towards them, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison and let out a piercing sound, from near to far, from earth to heaven, as if to break the hearts of men.

The Tong rhino hiding in their shadows was frightened, and Princess Heron and the others were also trembling.

The dust was monstrous, shouting and killing all over the place, it was really ridiculous to say, tens of thousands of elite soldiers surrounded and killed nine people, but Yata and Su Yue and the others didn't feel ridiculous at all. The soldiers descended the mountain like fierce tigers, and their momentum was like a rainbow. Princess Heron used Qi Shu and built several deer barbs one after another. The onslaught of the soldiers slowed down, but it did not stop.

"Princess, these people are all wearing armor, can you trap these soldiers with some soft vines and the like?" The princess turned pale and shook her head in a daze.

Making Qi Shu is also a matter that requires great concentration and energy, and Princess Lu has no energy or ability to stop these tens of thousands of elite soldiers on her own.

"Qi Shu is not an immortal art, she is a young girl, Qingzhu, don't put too much pressure on her. ”

Princess Heron trembled and said, "Maybe only the earth-based corpse Mr. Yu that Master said can do it." Speaking of this, she suddenly dragged Dianyin and said, "You guys go quickly, this demon king wants me." ”

Before Dian Yin could reply, Su Yue turned around and said to Princess Lu again: "The princess has saved us from danger several times, and she is scolding us when she says this!" After speaking, he pulled out the golden knife, opened the box of seven techniques, and rushed forward first. Except for Tong Xi, the rest also drew their swords and moved forward. As soon as their shouts came out, they were drowned out by the sea of waves, just like their bodies, even if they pulled out the mountains with their strength, with one enemy against a hundred, but the power of the stars, how could they resist the torrent of tens of thousands?

The spores in the city had drifted outside the city, but the powerful sound waves emitted by tens of thousands of people made the spores almost flow in reverse, and the plague-like army of fungi was suppressed and did not dare to approach.

Numerical superiority is the most terrible advantage.

This battle was inevitable, but they did not resist the first round of onslaught with great difficulty, and the attack of the soldiers seemed to be slower than before, and there was always some mud and water, and the attack was not resolute, but they were more focused on defense.

Su and Lu didn't know what formation they were using, but behind the soldiers, there were formed troops that were quickly leaving the battlefield. But the soldiers on the front line fought more and more desperately. When the dust cleared, the last soldier fell. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers were long gone, only the corpses piled up in front of them and the scouts looming in the distance.

The noise dissipated, and there was a sudden silence like tinnitus in the heavens and the earth.

If it weren't for the corpse lying in front of you, you would almost think that what had just happened was a nightmare. The crowd has not yet come to their senses. Tong Xi first shivered and took a deep breath, then sat down in the sand, and the moment she grabbed the sand, she suddenly burst into tears.

The plain clothes of the four plain women were all dyed white and red, bright red and brown, and now they were splashed red again.

The sun was about to set, leaving a blood-stained red in the dust.

"What kind of medicine is sold in this Qi clan hybrid gourd?" As soon as Dian Yin's words came out, he felt that he was speechless, and Su Yue and Xiao Tingyun frequently glanced at him.

Dianyin turned his head and apologized to the princess respectfully, and said that he was not targeting Princess Lu, but was just forced too hard by Yata and spoke angrily for a while.

Before the words "dian......" and "dian" were clear, Princess Lu hurriedly took back her words, and then changed her words, "Sir, don't worry about blaming yourself for offending the Qi clan, I am not from Qi." Before, he just didn't bother to argue with the demon king. ”
