Chapter 244: Courtesy
Deep in the dungeon.
In the deep and dark tunnels to the east.
The white bones and the sun had already manifested their dharma bodies, and the leading soldiers walked ahead, wielding shovels and digging into the ground in the east.
The rest of the people were silent in the darkness.
"Pangolins are sleeping
- Thick soil. β
As they were moving forward, a line of small words made of dirt suddenly appeared on the wall of the cave in front of them.
After reading it, Captain Chen stretched out his hand to erase the traces of the words, and gestured to the white bones and Rizhao: "Quietly move forward." β
The two of them understood, and the digging slowed down.
The dark underground suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of everyone's breathing became audible.
Half a day.
Whewββ
Whoaβ
As the excavation of Bai Gu and Rizhao progressed, gradually, a strange moan like a ghost crying came into everyone's ears, and those who listened couldn't help but feel a little hairy.
What's even stranger is that the sound is very rhythmic, as if it is breathing.
"What's that sound?"
Captain Chen listened attentively, lowered his voice, and said indifferently: "It's the snoring of the sleeping pangolin, it seems that it is still asleep." β
At this time, a line of yellow mud small characters appeared on the pit wall in front of him.
"The pangolin turned over, and there was no abnormality
- Thick soil. β
Seeing this, everyone was relieved, and Captain Chen waved his hand and said softly: "Keep going." β
The white bones and sunshine in front of them nodded, and they were raising their shovels, about to dig again.
Abrupt change of circumstances β
Like an earth dragon turning over, the dark and deep underground world suddenly shuddered, smoke and dust rose, and the walls of the pit around it shook.
Boom Boom β
Bang β
Before everyone could react, a thin and long purple-black whip-like object pierced through the thick layer of soil and rolled towards the white bones at the front of the crowd.
In just an instant, the white bones were swept up in the purple long whip, and the long whip quickly reversed and returned, and the white bones only had time to let out an exclamation before disappearing into the darkness.
"What's that, what's that?"
Another sergeant who acted as a pioneer - the sun was about to split, and the golden light on Fa's body was a little more vibrant, and he was about to rush over and rescue the white bones.
Captain Chen's face was also solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's the tongue of the pangolin! This beast has already discovered us." β
"Full speed ahead, save the !!"
"No!"
......
Deep underground.
In the other large, wide black cavern.
As the long purple-black tongue rolled back like lightning, the white bones that were tightly bound by it were panicked, and their strength increased.
He roared, his whole body was filled with black mist, and the bone spurs on Fa's body were bulging, making them even more hideous.
At the same time, the full view of the pangolin was exposed to his eyes.
It is a pangolin about the size of a rhinoceros, but the difference is that compared to a rhinoceros, this pangolin is covered with a solid layer of armor, its eyes are blood-red, and its long tail is thick and covered with scales like a giant hammer.
The long tongue was withdrawn, and the giant pangolin's jaw opened, ready to swallow the white bones in one gulp.
However, at this moment, the pit around it was pulled by a strange force and collapsed, and a large amount of stones and dirt fell down, burying the giant pangolin underneath.
Naturally, its long tongue could not be retracted.
It was the thick soil that was hiding on the side that made a move.
"Hurry up!!" Houtu shouted.
Bai Gu glanced at him gratefully, and a huge bone spur instantly appeared on the back of his hand, and the knife fell in his hand, directly cutting off the part of the long tongue that was rolling him, and breaking away from the shackles of this fishy long tongue.
Boom β
A stout tail with a thousand great powers suddenly poked out of the dirt and smashed straight into the thick earth, threatening to smash him into powder.
The thick soil had already been prepared, and a yellow shimmer appeared on the surface of the body, escaping into the ground like a loach, allowing the pangolin to fall into the air.
Bang β
Dirt splashes and rocks rain.
The pangolin emerged from the dirt, its eyes became more blood-red, and its size doubled. The scales on its body glowed with a faint purple light, and it roared in the sky, which was terrifying.
Losing its track of the thick soil, the pangolin turned its head and once again stared at the white bones.
Bai Gu tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that he thought was kind: "Brother, if you have something to discuss......
Bang β
The Iron Tail roared through the air and slammed into the white bone's body.
He was like a parabola, smashed into the dirt like a cannonball, and he couldn't pull it out. Even the white bone dharma body on the surface of the body was a little dimmed.
"Oh, this brute is so strong!"
As he complained, the pangolin's long tail was like a sharp sword, stabbing at him.
"I'm dying!" Bones' eyes widened.
At this moment, the cave wall on the side was suddenly smashed open in the shape of a human figure, and a sergeant covered in golden light jumped out.
"Don't panic Bai Gu, the first person in the Demon Slayer Army's defense supernatural power - Rizhao has come to help!"
As the words fell, the golden light on the surface of the sun's body was magnificent, like a bright sun, and the brilliance seemed to be draped in a layer of holy armor on him, and the whole person looked extremely tall.
He stretched out a giant hand and pinched the pangolin's iron tail tightly, preventing it from advancing for half a minute.
At the same time, his other arm was put together, and both arms worked together to pick up the pangolin directly.
Bang β
The pangolin also never thought that this second-order little reptile was actually stronger than his own. The two are competing against each other, and it doesn't even have a half-point chance of winning.
Carried by the sun, he flew in the air and smashed the ground seven or eight times in a row, until the pangolin was smashed to the ground, and the pangolin finally came to its senses.
It opened its mouth suddenly, and a golden inch flew out, like lightning, stabbing into the sun.
Rizhao, who was falling unusually happily, suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of life and death crisis enveloping his heart, and he subconsciously let go of the pangolin and quickly flashed to the side.
But apparently still a step too late.
The golden inch flew by, overcoming thorns and thorns, and it was unstoppable. Breaking the law body of Rizhao and the killing crystal membrane on the surface of his body together, fortunately he dodged in time, only one of his arms was cut off, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Rizhao, retreat!"
Seeing that Rizhao was hit hard in an instant, the white bones that came out roared hard, and the whole person jumped up and jumped on the back of the pangolin.
The pangolin's chassis is low, and its tail can't attack the white bones that are everywhere in the center of his back, and only a long, wounded tongue can barely touch him.
At this time, he felt that the white bone jumped into his blind spot, and the pangolin suddenly rushed around like crazy, and his body swayed violently, trying to throw the white bone off.
But Bai Gu's horse was quite solid, and he used two huge bone spurs to firmly dig into the gap between the scales on the back of the pangolin, fixed himself, and then beat the pangolin wildly.
Although the damage caused by his attack was minimal, his fly-like behavior made the pangolin extremely manic, and all his attention was focused on him, and he would not stop until he was killed.
At this time, half of Houtu's body appeared from the dirt pit on the side, and the yellow light flashed on his fingertips, and he said softly: "Ding!"
The soil under the four stout feet of the pangolin suddenly solidified and indestructible like cement, and the pangolin was frozen in place for a moment.
Seeing this, Captain Chen in the distance shouted, "It's now!"
The two of them on the side, Shanjun and Assassin Soul, stepped on his feet, his body moved and moved, and he came to the pangolin, opening his mouth and roaring.
Roar β
The voice was low and majestic, and even a huge white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes faintly appeared behind his head, which was roaring in the mountains and forests, and a trembling feeling from the depths of his soul arose.
The pangolin was no exception, and it was stunned. At this moment, the mind is completely lost.
The stabbing soul in the distance did not hesitate, pinched his fingers, and a black thorn about three inches long appeared between heaven and earth in the black mist, exuding a thick death breath on it, just with a wave of his hand, it was like a sharp arrow from the string, piercing the pangolin's brain.
The moment Blackthorn arrived, he ignored the thick scales on the pangolin's body and burrowed directly into its mind.
The black fog is gone!
The pangolin's mind was shattered by the black thorn, and his spirit was shattered, and he lost his life without even making a sound.
A perfect slash!
At this moment, Wang Tieniu, who had been behind the pangolin, finally rushed out, and he had been looking for an opportunity to make a "wild bull charge", but unfortunately the pangolin's tail was thick and long, and the part was tightly covered, and he never found a suitable opportunity.
At this time, the pangolin had died, and the tail that had been taut finally relaxed, and Wang Tieniu also found this opportunity.
He roared and burst out in a black light.
"Eat me brute bull rush!"
Puff β
Feces and blood splattered, splashing Wang Tieniu's body, but he didn't care about it, and continued to collide brainlessly: "Eat me again......"
......
The eyes of everyone on the side widened, and Captain Chen couldn't stand it anymore, so he stopped him with a voice: "Brute bull, just rush, don't destroy the corpse anymore." β
β......β
Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Wang Tieniu finally realized that something was wrong, hurriedly collected his magical powers, and smiled: "Oh, it's dead, I didn't even notice." β
"Alright," Captain Chen waved his hand, "Come on two uninjured people and carry the bodies away." β
"No!"
......
......
Outside the city of Youzhou.
Hanshan Temple.
At the end of Nanshan, under the peach blossoms.
"Is this the imperial capital of the Wu Dynasty?" Lin Sijun, who was dressed in a white dress, stood on the side of the mountain, looking at Youzhou, the imperial capital of the distant mountains, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, "Sure enough, it is the first male city in the world, and the weather is extraordinary." β
Zhao Ting stood beside him, smiled and tilted his head and asked, "The current emperor is also a hero, do you want to accompany me to see him?"
"This ......" Lin Sijun thought about it, and seemed to be a little moved, but finally said: "Brother Zhao went to see the current saint, there must be something important to discuss, Sijun is waiting for you here." β
She turned her head to look at Zhao Ting, her beautiful eyes soaked in autumn water: "But Brother Zhao has to come back early." β
"Okay. β
Zhao Ting scratched her small nose, her body moved, and disappeared into the heavens and the earth.
......
......
Yongle Palace.
In the main hall, two golden dragon-shaped copper furnaces are spitting purple smoke outward, the hall is full of fragrance, and the green grass outside the carved window is like grass, but it is a rare good weather.
Xiao Che was dressed in a black and red dragon robe, leaning on the dragon chair, as if he was pretending to sleep.
The two small yellow doors holding the fan beside him were shaking the fan slightly, fanning the cool breeze and driving away the stuffiness in the hall.
Long.
Xiao Che suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "You all go down." β
Hearing this, the two little yellow doors claimed yes, and slowly walked out of the main hall backwards.
Meanwhile.
A white-robed figure suddenly appeared at the door of the main hall, he took the door of the hall with his hand, turned around, bowed to Xiao Che on the golden chair, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty." β
Xiao Che stood up, walked quickly to his side, pulled his sleeve, and said, "You are back." β
Seeing his long-awaited look, Zhao Ting couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said, "Didn't I say when I left that the return date is uncertain, why is Your Majesty so anxious?"
Xiao Che said: "I received reliable news that the battle between the Ghost Emperor and the Sea Dragon King, the Ghost Emperor lost!"
"Lost?" Zhao Ting frowned, "Aren't they all fifth-order, why did the Ghost Emperor defeat so quickly?"
Xiao Che shook his head and said, "I don't know the reason either. However, I heard that the Ghost Emperor was born in a wild way, and his supernatural powers were mixed with the Dao methods he had learned, and it didn't take long to enter the fifth order. However, the Sea Dragon King is an orthodox Shinto origin, and the old fifth-order 'unknown'. The Ghost Emperor can't fight the Sea Dragon King, which is expected. β
"If it's just that it loses, it's nothing. It's a shame that this guy actually wants to make a comeback, and wants to use the power of my human race to recover from his injuries, improve his cultivation, and re-engage with the Sea Dragon King. β
Zhao Ting was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "How can you borrow the power of the human race?"
"Soul Eater!" Xiao Che's face was solemn, "It sent someone to spread the word, saying that it wanted me to gather the strength of the martial arts country and levy 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people as rations within a month to go to Bishan. β
β......β
Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.
"This guy is polite, and it's kind of interesting that he wants us to help him recruit the old, weak, sick and disabled. β
Xiao Che said with a calm face: "It regards all the people of our Martial Kingdom as its property, so it naturally has to recruit the old, weak, sick and disabled. After all, if the young man runs out of food, who will give it a multiplication population?"
"That's right," Zhao Ting nodded, "Then, what does the Spirit Clan say?"
Xiao Che glared and said, "They are all a group of wall grass, and it is not their clan who is sacrificed, so they naturally don't want to care." Not only that, but they also persuaded me that it was useless to be old, weak, sick and disabled, and that if they died, they would die. It's not worth it to tear your face with the Ghost Emperor for this little thing. β
"Do you hear this is human talk?"
"Now the envoy sent by the Ghost Emperor is outside the Youdu City, waiting for me to deliver 100,000 people to it. I'm at a loss, and you're back. β
After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Zhao Ting thought about it and said, "It's better to be like this." β
"I went to Yunzhou this time, and I happened to develop a weapon of mass destruction. According to my calculations, the maximum yield of this weapon should be able to pose a threat to the fifth order 'unknown'. Isn't the Ghost Emperor injured? Then let's take this opportunity to see if we can blow it up in one fell swoop. β
"Hey, hey, hey......"
