Soon, the team successfully entered Donghuang Town.

Looking left and right, the once prosperous town is now lifeless, the streets are dilapidated and dirty, and the corpses of straw mats can be seen everywhere.

The town's indigenous people have all been evacuated, and only a few refugees have been temporarily housed here.

The one who came to greet him was a small flag officer named Zhou Wei, who was an old acquaintance with Gu Chengde.

Gu Bai went up to report to his home.

Knowing that this young man was the son and nephew of an old friend, Zhou Wei's attitude suddenly became a lot more enthusiastic, and while leading the way, he explained the current situation to everyone.

As early as half a month ago, the last line of defense had been broken by the demon army.

As the umbilical cord connecting Sun Moon City, Donghuang Town, a strategic fortress, has also fallen into a precarious situation.

Although during this time, Sun Moon City sent a lot of people to Donghuang Town, but it was still difficult to reverse the general trend, and the defense line was gnawed away little by little, and it couldn't support it for long.

"Once Donghuang Town is broken, the beast tide will spread directly to the inner circle. Zhou Wei looked solemn and sighed, "When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Doesn't the Demon Exorcism Bell work?" Gu Bai wondered.

"That's a demon tribe called the Iron Eating Sandworm, this kind of demon has a very strong ability to reproduce, roughly estimated, there are at least nearly 10,000 Iron Eating Sandworms lurking around Donghuang Town, and their actions are through underground sneaking, only when they attack, they will only appear, and the sound of the demon exorcism bell basically does not affect them. ”

"So tough ......"

Gu Bai narrowed his eyes.

Hiding underground, it's not easy to kill.

Passing over a pile of fortifications, Zhou Wei said, "I'll take you now to meet Sun Zongqi, who is the commander-in-chief of Donghuang Town. ”

Gu Bai nodded, and said to the people behind him: "Everyone find a place to rest first, Lu Yu, you go with me to meet Sun Zongqi." ”

Shouting the rain on the road is naturally to fill the scene, after all, it is also a ready-made quenching ninefold consummation.

In terms of cultivation alone, she is even better than Gu Bai, and it is not a problem to be a small flag officer, but Long Kaijiang deliberately did not give her a promotion.

Zhou Wei had already noticed this beautiful little girl dressed in heroic style, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"

"Her name is Lu Yu, and she is my deputy, a trainee flag officer. Gu Bai introduced.

Hearing the five words of the trainee flag officer, Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

She followed Gu Bai and nodded her head twice with a "uh-huh", and the ponytail jumped and jumped.

Zhou Wei's expression was slightly surprised, and he sighed: "It's really terrifying, I think that at the beginning, I entered the Demon Suppression Division with your uncle, and it took me ten years to get to the position of a small flag officer, how can I be so young and promising like the two." ”

Hearing these words, Lu Yu's heart was already happy, and he followed closely behind, secretly glanced at the people beside him, and suddenly felt that Gu Bai, a nasty ghost, didn't seem to be so annoying.

The two followed Zhou Wei to a camp.

At this time, several white-robed chief flags in the camp were discussing countermeasures, their words were a little fierce, and their faces were red.

"These iron-devouring sandworms are inexhaustible, and if we want to get out of this predicament, we can only find the queen worm!"

"It's a light word, the exorcism bell can't work, who can kill the sandworms all over the ground and reach the demon's lair? Even if you kill it, can you guarantee to find the location of the worm queen? In the end, it's just a waste of life. ”

"Or just wait, wait for those iron-devouring sandworms to hollow out the fortifications and wipe out our entire position?"

"It's really not possible, I can only inform the division and ask Lord Baihu to take action in person. ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the camp was a little dull.

Now that the situation in Yunzhou is troubled internally and externally, the state lord and the thousand households go out to crusade against the big demon, and only a few Zhenyuan realms are left in the entire state capital, and one less is transferred, who knows if those clans will take advantage of the situation and subvert the regime.

At this time, Zhou Wei, who was standing at the door of the camp tent, took advantage of this gap to introduce Gu Bai and the others into the camp tent and introduced:

"Mr. Sun, these two are Gu Bai, the small flag officer sent by the department to support, and his deputy Lu Yu, and the remaining thirteen people under Gu Xiaoqi's command have also arrived in Donghuang Town. ”

Hearing this, the three general flags in the camp all looked at him, and the commander-in-chief, Sun Qing, was a rugged bearded man, he glanced at the two of them, and his face was not very good-looking: "When did you send these little ghosts over?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Zhou Wei wiped the sweat on his forehead, didn't dare to answer, and could only cast a forgiving look at Gu Bai and the others.

Gu Bai smiled and said, "I've seen a few general flags." ”

Lu Yu next to him was choked by the little ghost, and was about to argue loudly, but was stopped by Gu Bai with his eyes.

"Do you know what you're going to face, so you dare to go to the front line?" Sun Qing was already in a displeasure mood, and when he saw the two of them looking like raw melons and eggs, his words were even more polite.

"I know, I heard Zhou Xiaoqi say just now that the opponent is against the Iron Devouring Sandworm Demon Clan. Gu Bai's tone was flat, and there was a kind smile on his face, "I just heard a few people say that they want to find the worm queen, so maybe they can help some." ”

The other general flag shook his head, not very hopeful about this method, "The nest of the insect queen is hidden dozens of meters underground, and the whole crypt is so big, how can you find it?"

Gu Bai: "It's not a secret, I've learned some partial ways to distinguish between them, and I'm also very sensitive to the demonic aura, as long as the distance is close, I'm sure to find the queen of worms." ”

Sun Qing had lost his patience, and reprimanded with a cold face: "The little ghost who hasn't grown any hair, dare to speak out here, if you can find the queen worm, I, the commander-in-chief, will let you be the commander!"

Gu Bai raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly arched his hand seriously: "Thank you Mr. Sun for giving me this opportunity to prove myself, Gu Mou will definitely live up to expectations!"

Sun Qinghu was stunned, where did he think that this kid would dare to answer his own words, a ball of anger rose in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, Zhou Wei hurriedly came out to make a round and took Gu Bai and the others out of the camp.

"Mr. Sun has always had this temper, and please don't be surprised. Zhou Wei said apologetically, "I'll take the two of you to the temporary camp now, and take a break for a while." ”

"It's okay, let's go. Gu Bai smiled and didn't care.

Halfway through, Lu Yuliu's eyebrows were furrowed, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she pulled the corner of Gu Bai's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "That person speaks so ugly, why aren't you angry?"

"These veterans are like this, on the front line, if you want people to look up to you, you have to show real achievements, we are young, it is normal for people to look down on us. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yu was silent, and only asked after a while: "That...... Do you really have a way to find the queen of worms?"

"I said yes, then there was. ”

The corners of Gu Bai's mouth hung up with a slight arc.
