33. Silence

"I can still breathe, but the quenching muscles and veins in my body are basically destroyed, and I am afraid that if I practice martial arts in the future, I can only maintain it at the second layer of the Qi Acceptance Realm. โ€

While Hou Tianlin answered, he also sat on the ground.

Looking at the deputy battalion commander of the Pingyang Battalion who was tired in front of him, Jiang Ping opened his mouth.

He wanted to ask Shao Yuan what had happened to him, why the ghost and god phantom fled in a panic.

After thinking about it, I felt that the other party didn't necessarily know more than myself, so I didn't say anything more.

At this time, the captain of the cavalry team who received the order was also trying to wake up his fainting comrades.

Those who still have snorts have basically woken up.

But as soon as they opened their eyes, without exception, they all shrunk into a ball, trembling all over, and their faces were full of fear.

The captain of the cavalry team successively woke up more than thirty soldiers.

Seeing his comrades-in-arms behaving like this, he had to sigh and shake his head: "It's good to be alive." โ€

Then he turned and walked towards the place where the inhabitants had gathered.

Even with the little blood left, you can feel how many people are still breathing.

But the captain of the cavalry was still unwilling to check whether the inhabitants were still alive one by one.

He examined it carefully and slowly.

Tens of thousands of residents of Pingyang Town, until the early sun rose, he also checked more than 2,000 people.

At the moment when his body was illuminated by the morning sun, the captain of the cavalry team sat directly on the ground.

His hands were shaking uncontrollably.

It's useless, I'm just deceiving myself before.

The more than 40,000 residents of Binh Duong Town are all gone.

Hou Tianlin, who was in the distance, noticed the movement of the cavalry captain and pursed his lips.

In the past night, the blood qi had recovered a little bit, and he could sense the survival of other people.

"Jingle bellโ€”"

A bell rang in the air, and everyone looked up and looked blankly.

The fish-shaped hot air balloon swings its fins and slowly approaches.

In the past period of time, some of the soldiers of the Pingyang Battalion who were still alive because their soul strength was high enough had recovered.

I also followed the ringing of the bell and looked over.

Others were still in a trance, and the moment the bell rang, those shrank tighter and reached out to cover their ears.

They were afraid that the ringing of the bell would mean that the demon was coming, and they were even more afraid that the evil cultivator would make a comeback.

The hot air balloon flew over everyone and landed.

The five people who came down above were all wearing the same clothes as Jiang Ping, Uncle Jiang, and Lin Yuanqian.

It should all be Qianjimen people.

When they approached on the hot air balloon, they saw the tragic situation on the ground, and when the hot air balloon came out, they all had solemn expressions.

There was also a girl in the room of the five, covering her mouth and bursting into tears.

Everyone else had red eyes.

"How can this be? Among the demons who came, there were many high-grade ones?" The middle-aged man led by the five people said with disbelief in his tone, and every word seemed to tremble.

After receiving the news that the demon appeared directly in Pingyang Town, he would have expected that there would be many casualties before coming.

But I didn't expect to see the remains of tens of thousands of people lying on top of the rubble.

"Among the demons who came, there was only one third-grade lower-rank demon, and the rest were first- and second-grade demons, and although the building was damaged, the residents only died in the thousands. โ€

Everyone else didn't speak, but Lin Yuanqian said indifferently: "It's just that after the demon was resolved, an elder from the Ghoul Sect came, who should be a ghost master, and forcibly extracted the soul of a person whose soul strength was not high enough. โ€

Hearing Lin Yuanqian's words, the middle-aged man stopped talking.

"The Ghoul Sect Elder said that we had executed his new disciple earlier, and that he had come for revenge. Lin Yuanqian added.

It's just that no one cares anymore.

The evil cultivators of the Ghoul Gate are notorious, whether it is the corpse master or the ghost manipulator, they don't care about the life or death of the weak people.

And the high-level Ghoul Sect, who was wanted by the entire Shengyang Dynasty and rejected by all the monk sects, had been active in the area east of the imperial capital before.

Because there will be a large number of high-ranking warriors and the remains of monks over there.

"There are high-level ghoul gates who appear more than 70,000 miles away from the Great Wall of Wandao, and they have to be reported quickly. The middle-aged man struggled to calm himself down and made a judgment in his heart.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

Shortly after the arrival of the five people who were riding in the hot air balloon, the ground began to tremble, accompanied by a muffled sound.

A behemoth came from the north and came into view.

From a distance, it looked like a huge ship.

The sails raised on all sides were blown by the spring breeze blowing from north to south.

Eight thick legs protrude from the bottom of the boat, alternating to move forward with a "click" sound from the middle of the hull.

This is a land ship with a thousand machine gates, which can travel by land or by water.

Specially designed to carry heavy items.

Just by looking at it, you can see the equipment placed on the deck.

Those are the traps used to build houses.

Some have long arms that can lift heavy loads.

Others are fitted with sharp serrations, which can be used for cutting wood and stones.

When Xuanmu City, the capital of Muzhou, was attacked by demons, he would also ask for the assistance of Qianjimen to rebuild Xuanmu City.

In the past two months alone, Xuanmu Castle, which covers a vast area and has destroyed most of its buildings, has basically been restored.

At that time, after the demon attacked, Uncle Jiang would use the messenger kite to send a message to the Thousand Machine Gate in Xuanmu City.

The first is to ask for support.

The second is to be able to rebuild its Pingyang Town as soon as possible after solving the demons.

Pingyang Town, which covers an area of less than one-twentieth of Xuanmu City, can be completely rebuilt within half a month under the construction of Qianjimen, even if the buildings are completely destroyed.

It's just that I would have thought that although the current Pingyang Town has become a complete ruin, there is no need to rebuild it.

The people are gone, so why do you need a house?

The Landbound Windship was so large that it could be seen from a distance, but it took a lot of time to get closer.

In the process of its approach, the next town of Pingyang Town, the support of the military Qinghe Battalion of Qinghe Town, also arrived.

Two hundred-man soldiers came, led by the commander of the Qinghe battalion.

The morning sun has risen in the distant mountains.

Bathed in the sun, it is a sad picture.

All the residents of Binh Duong still have the terrified, distorted faces they had before they died.

After understanding the situation, the commander of the Qinghe battalion didn't know what to say, but just patted the shoulders of the soldiers who were still alive one by one.

The land-based Merry Ship also arrived in front of Pingyang Town half an hour later.

The eight legs slowly retracted, and the hull of the ship stopped on the ground.

Several large boxes were thrown down first.

When the boxes were about to hit the ground, the ground lit up and finally landed smoothly on the ground.

More than 60 people on board also disembarked.

It's not that they haven't seen dead people, but even Genki City, which has been attacked by more demons, has only lost nearly 10,000 people.

Seeing the scene on the ruins of Pingyang Town, after learning about the situation, they were all silent.
