Chapter 85: The Five Great Kings (I)
In the early morning of the next day, Hua Jiuxi and his entourage saw the sandalwood beasts holding a bunch of incense pills in their hands. They were all women, but they all had a large white cloth on their faces at this time, and they didn't know how to recognize the way. But if you think about it, this creature's sense of smell should be different from that of ordinary people, and the breath alone can avoid collisions.
The incense pill is a golden-yellow thing that looks like some kind of stone. However, even if you get closer, you can't smell even a trace of it, because this thing only reveals its own aroma when it is burned at high temperatures.
After allowing them to take a few looks, the incense pill was piled up in the shape of a pyramid—and then quickly placed in a golden bottle with Sanskrit letters made of precious stones. Hua Jiuxi thought to himself, if he could get any of these bottles out, he would be able to replace them with a house.
However, he himself was not too greedy for money, so he did not pay much attention to this container.
The three women were holding the vase in their hands, and Hua Jiuxi could feel that these people were trembling - he was still very sensitive to the vibration of the air.
These women had obviously heard that there were going to be bad people to snatch the incense pill they had worked so hard to synthesize, and it was likely that their lives would be in danger, so they were all nervous. Hua Jiuxi had sensed it from the very beginning, and the creature of the Sandalwood Beast had a timid and naïve characteristic.
"It's okay, everyone's peace of mind. If there are enemies, we will take them down, so you will not take any damage. Hua Jiuxi tried her best to comfort them.
But his words obviously didn't help, and the women were still trembling.
"I think we still have to fight early and fight hard, or the enemy will not show up, I am afraid that these women will be scared to death." Hua Jiuxi walked to a corner and said to Xiang Ling, "Is there any change in the country?" ”
"I don't know." Xiang Ling spread his hands and said, "There are only a few of us in this small country now—even if we move around desperately, it is impossible to get more information." What's more, the hostile youkai are all proficient in stealing, which is different from us. Even a stone or a dead wood may be disguised by the enemy. ”
"I can only hope that they are desperate." Hua Jiuxi said.
"That's pretty optimistic." Xiang Ling said, "If you want to get all the incense pills in a centralized manner, you can only do it during the parade. Even if they are reluctant, there is only this time. If it's tough, our group prefers it. ”
While Hua Jiuxi and Xiang Ling were discussing, they heard the sound of various musical instruments playing not far away—the time had come.
The three sandalwood beasts were surrounded and boarded a very large float, which looked like a monster with a very large mouth, which looked like gluttony. And the gluttonous body is full of all kinds of carefully drawn patterns, which makes people look dazzled for a while.
Pulling the float are four large white elephants, in perfect unison, trained for a long time. And every time the elephant takes a step, there are countless goblins flying in the air scattering flowers and incense powder on the cart.
Hua Jiuxi had planned to wear a mask like a leech - but although the fragrance in the air was strong, it did not irritate people's nasal passages, so she gave up.
However, the Moths were not in the mood to watch the parade of floats - because they had to be on the lookout for the enemy. Tang Xinzi and Zhu Tian themselves have the vision of compound eyes, and their field of vision is also wider—they act as the outermost protection of the crowd.
At this moment, everyone, including Hua Jiuxi, was like those attendants who helped the car, wrapped in white cloth from head to toe, and in addition to their height and size, they couldn't see their gender appearance at all.
Hua Jiuxi reminds everyone to hide the demonic power as much as possible. But he didn't believe it himself, and the enemy clearly had an insight into his group's arrival.
"The route is to make three turns to the right around this small country – that is, from morning to night. It is estimated that there are more than people, even those elephants can't stand it. There is little protection along the way, because it is too peaceful. After learning some news, Zhu Tian reported to Hua Jiuxi, "When and where do you think the enemy will attack?" ”
Hua Jiuxi patted his head and said, "Of course, when we are all the most tired and relaxed, I guess it will be around the time when the ceremony of sending Xiangdan to heaven is close to the afternoon." At that time, everyone must have let their guard down. ”
"If we can think like this, the enemy must have thought of it." Zhu Tian prompted.
Hua Jiuxi shook his head: "In this way, the argument will go on in an infinite loop - there is no point." Moreover, the enemies are all flying monsters, and they will inevitably occupy the higher ground nearby and fly in the air - but there are so many small hills in this broken country that it is impossible to fortify everywhere. ”
"It is possible to organize a spear team in the procession—" Zhu Tian said.
Hua Jiuxi continued to shake his head: "There are all 'unreligious people' here, and there are few who can play with guns and sticks, and the armed forces are even more pitiful. To be honest, adding a contingent like that on a temporary basis is also adding chaos. ”
"Speaking of flying—fortunately, we have Luo Yue on the team." Zhu Tian said, "She has prepared a lot of wings this time, and we will put them on now, at least we won't lose the enemy!" ”
Hua Jiuxi had a happy expression on his face: "This time is especially useful!" The enemy's purpose is not to kill us, as long as they can take those incense pills away, so they will definitely not entangle with us. Instead, we're going to hold them back with all our might. So when fighting......"
"It's okay - most of us, although most of us don't have the ability to fly, we still have a large attack range, and it's easy to entangle with the enemy." Zhu Tian said confidently.
Hua Jiuxi believed this, because in terms of strength alone, several of them were absolutely reliable.
After hastily saying these things, Hua Jiuxi and his party lurked next to the float.
I saw that the people of this Xiangji country could be said to be pouring out - although so, in the eyes of Hua Jiuxi, it was not much more spectacular than the welcoming competition in their rural villages.
One of the major characteristics of the rich people in the old society was that the pomp and circumstance were extraordinary, and these generally had to test the accumulation of entourage. But this small country is highly "automated" and does not need too many people at all. There are advantages and disadvantages to this.
The biggest disadvantage is obviously that the target is directly exposed to the relatively empty streets, which is easy to target. And now this is already a busy city, and in another two or three hours, when you walk to a remote and barren mountain, something will definitely happen.
And due to the time constraints, there can be no fake interference team.
"By the way, if you don't send that incense pill to the heavenly realm, will there be any consequences?" Hua Jiuxi asked Su He, who was in charge, before.
"How could it be-" Su He said with a smile, "It's nothing more than that the Sandalwood Beast itself can't ascend to heaven for the time being, so it's good to stay here like us." The Buddha is magnanimous, and there will be no heavenly punishment. ”
Hua Jiuxi always suspected that the people who took these incense pills were not actually gods and Buddhas, and he remembered a story: there used to be a place where someone was always sucked out of the air by something - people said that it was a shortcut to the daytime. Later, I learned that it was a blue python sucking people.
"Really, I thought there would be some heavenly soldiers to escort the escort - then it would be nothing for us." Hua Jiuxi walked around and complained to the people next to him.
The man obviously didn't understand his words, and Hua Jiuxi realized that the other party was not his companion, and stopped talking stupidly.
Immediately entered an area surrounded by small hills, this place has many mountains and Shandong, and it is a natural den of thieves. Hua Jiuxi adjusted the sharpness of his five senses to the highest - among all the people here, he was the only one who could act as this radar.
I didn't get tired of blowing and beating along the way, but Hua Jiuxi himself was a little tired because of the strong fighting spirit - why didn't the enemy show his head?
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly felt several similar demonic forces on his head rapidly climbing—galloping from several mountains in four directions.
"Garlic ramen, no char siu!" Hua Jiuxi let out a loud sigh, this was the code he had agreed with the people of the Moths Guild before. As soon as he said this, the procession immediately stopped.
But it was too late, for now they could detect the enemy's shadow with the naked eye.
Looking at the sun, there were a few shadows that looked like big birds in a daze, but when they flew closer, they realized that they were winged monsters with long noses and red faces.
According to the battle plan made before, Jiaqin instantly removed his white robe, jumped directly into the float and put the bottles into the big bag around his waist.
As the first person in melee combat in the Moths Society, it is certainly safest to hand over things to him for protection.
And the three women were almost paralyzed with fright when they saw the sudden action of this big man. It's just that the situation is urgent, and even a polite person like him doesn't have time to say "offended".
Zhu Tian immediately climbed onto the top of the float, his arms split, and dozens of large nets were spilled against the sky.
Seeing the enemy's strength, the Tengu only hovered in mid-air.
And the leader of them was a long-bearded tengu, who was obviously much more powerful than the few people around him. I saw him wearing a purple robe and holding a tin staff. With a single poke of his tin staff, the dozens of huge cobwebs dissolved at once.
Zhu Tian took a sip, thinking that the enemy still had two brushes.
The old tengu glanced at the ground and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Hua Jiuxi there. At that time, he flapped his wings, and in an instant he came close to him.
So fast!
Seeing that Hua Jiuxi was about to die at the hands of this old monster, it was too late for everyone to save each other.
But Jiaqin played his part here, flying between Lao Tiangu and Hua Jiuxi, raising his hand is a catch.
And the other party's reaction speed was not bad, and as soon as he changed his hand, he actually hooked the bag with a tin rod.
This is bad, Jiaqin immediately grabbed the wings of the old tengu without regard - and Hua Jiuxi, who had been saved just now, also pulled it up by the way.
The old tengu was in a hurry to get out, so he couldn't care about the two people on him. I saw him fly towards the northwest at full speed, trying to use his speed to shake off the two men, and he disappeared in an instant.
Of course, the people of the Moths Society thought of going for reinforcements.
But there are still a few tough opponents in front of him.
The battle quickly transitioned from a scuffle to a one-on-one ring, as there were exactly four players on both sides.
And who is against whom, apparently, is divided by speed. Luo Yue was naturally the one who pursued the fastest flying tengu, and the rest of the people waited and so on.
About these tengu, although after Hua Jiuxi evil supplement some relevant knowledge. But they still don't know much about these guys. They don't know what their strengths or weaknesses are.
I only know that these guys have the title of "Five Ming Kings", but after tossing like this for a long time, everyone still doesn't know which Ming King they are dealing with.
Zhu Tian looked at the enemy in front of him like this.
Only then did he realize that the one with the particularly tall and long red nose was actually just a mask. After the man took off the fake face, he actually revealed the face of a very delicate man.
In this way, the person in front of him does not look like a monster, but like an angel.
He was four or five zhang away from Zhu Tian, and because he was a flying monster, he was very flexible in dodging and dodging. No matter how Zhu Tian pursued, the two were always at this distance.
This is probably the way the tengu fights.
