In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

The insect tide surged day and night, and although it was interrupted several times in the middle, it did not exceed half an hour at the longest, and then it came again.

Moreover, Dongfang Shuo also noticed that as the number of spar insects killed by him gradually increased, the scale of the insect tide became larger and larger, and the hardness of each spar insect became higher and higher.

Initially, Dongfang Shuo was able to keep them out of the cave thirty zhang away, but after three days, they were already able to approach the range of ten zhang.

As time goes on, this trend is still steady, and if it continues like this, it won't be long before they can attack Dongfang Shuo.

"Didn't you say two days?"

"Why is there no one to save us?"

"Could it be that the army has come in and doesn't know we're here?"

Inside the hole, these conversations took place.

These worries permeated the cave, and in fact, Dongfang Shuo had already given birth to such doubts as early as two days later.

But at this moment, the third day was already waning, the insect tide was still attacking, and the large army was nowhere to be seen.

It was impossible for them not to know that there were people here, because such a powerful insect tide would inevitably attract the attention of everyone who entered the valley. Moreover, once the large army enters the valley, it will also be noticed by the insect tide, and the attack of the insect tide will definitely be reduced at that time.

But the current facts can only prove one point.

The big army did not come.

But according to the speed of the team, it was a team of only a few thousand people, and all of them were not low, and more than three days was enough time for them to march here.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but have some bad premonitions in his heart.

After sunset, the stars shine brightly.

About half an hour after the moonlight fell, the insect tide stopped attacking again, but they still crawled among the trees and did not retreat.

Because he didn't know when they would attack again, Dongfang Shuo also had to stay closest to the entrance of the cave.

"Brother Dongfang, let's eat something. ”

At this time, Su He brought food to Dongfang Shuo.

After taking the food, he looked inside the hole.

Many are still eating, while others are caring for people who had been injured in the flight a few days earlier.

The wound medicine that Su He had prepared in the past month came in handy at this time, and the food was enough for half a month's ration for the rest of the people.

But even then, staying here is not a long-term solution.

"If only the reinforcements arrived at dawn tomorrow. After Su He saw Dongfang Shuo start to eat, he did it to his side, looked at the moon outside the cave, and said.

Dongfang Shuo ate in silence, and didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, he already had a guess in his heart that the reinforcements had already abandoned them.

After all, this insect tide is so strong, in order to reduce casualties, it is understandable that reinforcements do not come to save them. Because even if Lu Yanzhang personally kills in, he may not be able to get out alive.

"If we can go back this time, we will all be rewarded and knighted. Su He's eyes showed a bit of yearning, "When I return to my hometown one day, I will correct the name of my father who has never met before, and then give him a very big monument, which is bigger than the city lord's." Oh, and the old man, the old man also wants to build a monument. ”

Dongfang Shuo listened to his imagination quietly, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Although this wish is good, if it is really added to the official rank, it will inevitably seem a little childish.

"What about Big Brother Dongfang? What does Big Brother Dongfang want to do?"

Su He asked.

Dongfang Shuo swallowed his saliva, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It is my greatest wish to take everyone back alive." Adding an official to a knighthood is of no use to me at all, but rather cumbersome. ”

Hearing this, Su He rolled his eyes.

"I shouldn't have asked you in the first place, you're too high-minded. After that, he sighed lightly again, then looked at Dongfang Shuo again, and asked in a low voice, "Then, Brother Dongfang, the death of those people should also make you very painful, right?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him.

Then, the latter chuckled lightly, and then laughed and scolded: "What are you talking about, do I seem to be such a hypocritical person?"

Su He smiled, and then did not continue to say more.

After Dongfang Shuo finished eating, Su He took the water bladder and walked into the cave again.

And when he left, Dongfang Shuo secretly took out the sound transmission jade.

In the past few days, although he has been resisting the insect tide, the news of Gongzi Zhang has not been interrupted for a day, so he will spy on it whenever he has free time.

Spiritual power was injected, and the message passed on quickly entered his mind.

Suddenly, his expression froze.

After a moment, he put away the sound transmission jade, and then slowly got up and looked in a certain direction.

In that direction, the moon was in the sky, and there was a peak on the earth.

Dozens of miles away, on the top of Naqiong Mountain, through the pale green air, he vaguely saw a figure in the hazy moonlight.

The figure stood silently with a sword in hand.

"Lu Yanzhang!"

His expression froze, and he spat out the name word by word.

According to Gongzi Zhang's news, the large army arrived at Taniguchi in the middle of the night yesterday and conveyed the news to the six princes.

The sixth prince urged three times to let Lu Yanzhang immediately rescue the vanguard troops.

But Lu Yanzhang did not move for a long time, the reason is very simple, as Dongfang Shuo guessed, Lu Yanzhang wanted to keep the casualties to a minimum.

It's just that Dongfang Shuo only guessed half right.

In fact, long before the expedition, the upper echelons of Longlin City already knew about the existence of the 'Insect Tide'.

And the mission of Dongfang Shuo's unit was actually not an investigation from the beginning.

If it was really just some kind of probing, there was no need for the Six Princes to stop it in every possible way.

Besides, for today, the empire has been laid out for thousands of years, so how can there be any need for reconnaissance?

There were obviously many mistakes and omissions, but Dongfang Shuo failed to find out after all.

And the real purpose of the empire's exclusion of their 'vanguard force', that is, the real task of Dongfang Shuo's team, is to make sacrifices.

Insect tides are very special spirits, and if they are viewed separately, they can be seen as individuals who can move on their own. Taken together, they are quite a whole, just like ants and bees.

But unlike ants and bees, they only eat once every 30 years, and after each meal, they enter a brief state of total dormancy, and that is the best time to kill them.

This is also the reason why the threat of the Ming Ming Academy and Buddhist Temple occurred more than a month ago, but the Longlin Empire only sent troops a month later.

Because now, in these 30 years, the only chance to eradicate the insect.

For this opportunity, the Empire has been preparing the entire region for nearly a thousand years, and it would have taken another thirty years.

"Because of weakness, he was mercilessly sacrificed. Dongfang Shuo turned his head and looked at the unsuspecting people in the valley, "It's really sad. ”

And his gaze was noticed by several people, who raised their heads and smiled one after another.

At this moment, everyone in the cave, although they complained that the empire had not come to help, they were all grateful to Dongfang Shuo for his efforts to protect them.

Looking at these smiling faces, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but let out a sneer.

This laughter puzzled everyone.

"You, who has a spirit sword above the sixth grade?"

Dongfang Shuo asked as he faced everyone.

Everyone looked at each other.

They are all at the bottom of Longlin City, and without exception, they are all from humble backgrounds.

Six-grade spirit sword, how can they have it?

"I, my sword is, it's the sixth grade!"

At this point, Higashino stood up and raised his own sword aloft.

Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand, and Dongye Shun did not hesitate, and threw the sword to Dongfang Shuo.

After taking the sword, Dongfang Shuo stretched out his hand and drew his sword, only to hear a 'snort', and the sword blade suddenly became cold under the moonlight.

"Such a sharp sword can be called the seventh grade. ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then immediately withdrew it from the scabbard.

This sword is indeed only six grades, but it seems to be infused with blood all year round, and its sharp aura is overflowing, so it can be called seven grades.

At this time, Higashino Shun had already walked in front of Dongfang Shuo, and he asked, "Dong, Dongfang Leader, this, what are you going to use this sword for?"

"You're not very bold, but you have such a sword, I'm afraid it's a bit of a tyrannical thing. Dongfang Shuo weighed the sword in his hand and said to him with a smile.

Higashino was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "This, this is a family heirloom, no, no, you can't give it away." "It looks like he's in a hurry.

Immediately, Dongfang Shuo smiled again: "Don't worry, I won't win people's love." I'll borrow this sword. ”

Hearing this, Higashino Shun was a little relieved.

Then, Dongfang Shuo looked at the others again: "Then you, who still has a six-grade sword, I'm afraid one is not enough." ”

"I have. ”

"I have it too!"

Finally, two more people handed out their swords.

Looking at the three six-grade spirit swords in his hand, Dongfang Shuo looked back at the swarm of insects outside the entrance of the cave, and his heart paused.

"May I ask the Oriental Leader, what is the use of these swords you want?" asked one of the men who handed over the swords.

Dongfang Shuo smiled at him: "Be optimistic." ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked a step beyond the entrance of the cave.

With a wave of his hand, the three swords were unsheathed, the hilt of the sword entered the ground and the blade of the sword pointed to the sky, lined up in front of Dongfang Shuo.

Thorn la la!

Suddenly, a lightning bolt slashed across the sword blade in the middle, and then the three sword blades were quickly connected by several arcs, and suddenly the three swords seemed to be fused into one to form a magic weapon in operation, and the air waves were rolling and mighty.

This move is the martial arts that Dongfang Shuoyue studied by himself in the Guihai Valley, "Guihai Ten Thousand Souls Annihilation".

However, although "Soul Annihilation" can attack on its own, it is still immature, and there is still a gap between it and his own strength, so he can get as close to his own strength as possible by performing triple at the same time and superimposing each other.

And this place is within the spiritual realm, and the heaven and earth are full of spiritual energy, enough for it to operate on its own for two or three days.

And if you leave it, Dongfang Shuo can leave with confidence.

Since the large army can't help, then he will support himself. After all, now, he also knows the way to kill the insect tide.
