On the hillside two hundred miles south of Jinyang City, a large number of people were gathering at this moment, and at a glance, there were no less than 70,000 people, some of these people were gorgeously dressed, some were ragged, but now they all had the same expression on their faces, that is, exhaustion and worry. Around these men, thousands of soldiers were watching cautiously with spears and shields, as if to guard against something.

This group of people are the people who fled from Jinyang City, and these soldiers were sent by Ding Feng, the city lord of Jinyang City, to escort this group of people to Hongyan City. The long-distance journey overnight made these people physically and mentally exhausted, but along the way, the soldiers of Jinyang City did not dare to give them too much rest time, the reason for this escape was to avoid these people from being attacked by the thousand demon beasts, although it is now nearly a hundred miles away from Jinyang City, but no one knows if there will be an accident, and now only by escorting the people to Hongyan City can their safety be guaranteed.

But even so, there are still some people who can't stand the overnight rush, and several people have fainted from exhaustion, and in desperation, the soldiers of Jinyang City had to pause their pace and let them rest in place for a while, but even so, these soldiers still did not dare to relax their vigilance, and carefully guarded the people of Jinyang City.

In the crowd, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was rubbing the shoulders of an old man with gray hair, and the girl asked, "Grandpa, are you tired?"

"It's okay, grandpa's old bones can still hold up. Fluttershy, Grandpa advises you to go first, you're a spiritual cultivator, and following me as an old man will drag you down. ”

These two are Fluttershy and Old Man Yin, hearing Old Man Yin's words, Fluttershy's face became slightly angry and said: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, how can Fluttershy be the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Brother Xiao Yu is not by his side now, I am your only relative, at this time I will definitely stay by your side to protect you, otherwise if you have any mistakes, Brother Xiao Yu will definitely not forgive me when he comes back." ”

Old Man Yin was about to say something, and Fluttershy continued: "Grandpa, don't worry, it's going to be fine, we're more than two hundred miles away from Jinyang City now, and the city is guarded by Wu Zhi and his disciples from the Great Yan Sword Sect, and it will be impossible for the demon beasts to pursue here." Besides, didn't Wu Zhi say it before, the reinforcements from the Great Yan Sword Sect are already on their way, maybe Brother Xiao Yu will also come with him, and we will definitely be fine. ”

"Alas, old man, I'm just afraid that I'll affect you girl, I'm old and useless, but you're still young, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. ”

After comforting Old Man Yin for a while, Fluttershy stands up and looks around at the crowd, and then a hint of disdain appears in her eyes.

In her observation just now, she found that among this group of people, there were no celebrities in Jinyang City, such as the Golden Jade Tower, None of the people in the Shengyuan pawnshop are here, obviously, this group of rich people who are high up on weekdays must have fled for their lives at this moment, especially the Shengyuan pawnshop, because of Ouyang Hai's affairs, the people of the Shengyuan pawnshop did not come to apologize to the two of them, and even their courtyard in the city was bought by the Shengyuan pawnshop with more than half of the money, but at this moment of life and death, they left the two of them to flee alone, it can be seen that their previous actions were just hypocrisy, just hoping to use some benefits to plug themselves and Old Man Yin's mouths, so as not to ruin the reputation of their pawnshop because of Ouyang Hai's affairs。

What's even more infuriating is that the owners of the Golden Jade House and Shengyuan Pawnshop are also spiritual cultivators, and their subordinates are all skilled in their daily lives, so if they can escape with the people, their abilities will definitely ensure the safety of the people on the way, but they choose to flee for their lives, which is what Fluttershy despises the most.

Just as everyone was resting, a soldier came on horseback from behind, and a middle-aged man in golden armor came out of the guard, and after the soldier dismounted, he asked, "How is the situation in the rear?"

The soldier saluted respectfully, and then said, "General Qiqi Zhang, the demon beast has already started a confrontation with the disciples of the Great Yan Sword Sect, and now it is being blocked by the Great Yan Sword Sect's Fire Separation Heaven Repair Array in the valley thirty miles outside Jinyang City, and it has not broken through the defense for the time being. ”

Nodding, the nervous look on General Zhang's face eased slightly, and said, "Continue to investigate." ”

The soldier bowed again, then rode his horse to the rear, and when he was gone, General Zhang asked another soldier beside him, "Where are the people from Hongyan City?"

"General, the sentinel who was investigating in front just reported that the soldiers of Hongyan City were about to arrive here, and they were only more than twenty miles away. ”

"Well, I see, inform the people, and set off immediately to join the soldiers of Hongyan City. ”

"Yes!"

Under the soldier's order, tens of thousands of people dragged their tired bodies and began to hurry again, but although they complained in their hearts, they didn't say anything, because everyone knew that if it weren't for the escort of these soldiers along the way, they would definitely encounter a lot of dangers along the way to the distant Hongyan City, these dangers did not come from demon beasts, but from some robbers and robbers along the way, in this vast land, it was not as peaceful as they imagined.

After walking for about half an hour, the General Zhang suddenly stopped moving forward, and in front of his gaze, a large number of soldiers were holding high a banner with the word "Hong" written on it and walking towards them, at this time, among the group of soldiers, a man wearing the same golden armor as General Zhang rode a horse and rushed over, after seeing the comer, General Zhang showed a relieved smile on his face, and arched his hand to the visitor: "General Wu, you are finally here, and you brothers have worked hard to come to meet you!"

The general surnamed Wu returned the salute, looked at the people behind General Zhang and said: "General Zhang's words are serious, my Hongyan City and Jinyang City are both Tiandu City, you are in danger now, it is natural for us to come to help, without further ado, hurry up." ”

Saying that, General Wu ordered his soldiers to join the escort team, and after the soldiers of the two cities merged, General Zhang's nervous heart was relaxed, it was less than a hundred miles away from Hongyan City, and it seemed that there would be no more danger.

Continue to move forward for thirty miles, looking at the distant Hongyan City, General Zhang finally put down his hanging heart completely, the nerves that were tense and tense on the way were completely relaxed, but just when he was about to thank General Wu, he suddenly felt a violent vibration from the rear of everyone, and the heart that had just been put down was lifted again, and General Wu had the most eyes, the two hurriedly rode their horses behind the people, feeling the vibration that was getting closer and closer, General Zhang suddenly shouted: "Prepare to resist the enemy!" ”

With his shout, all the soldiers became nervous, but after all, they were well-trained, and after a slight pause, they all picked up their weapons to guard the people's side, at this time, General Zhang's face was full of horror, and his eyes were staring at the ground in front of him, just when everyone was nervous and even wanted to stop breathing, on the ground, a crack slowly stretched out in all directions!
