Chapter 34: The Barbarian Invasion
Ji Zheng's white clothes were stained with blood, the hem of the pleated skirt was partially scorched, and his head was black and gray.
The blood was accidentally drawn to his arms and calves as he climbed the Knife Mountain, and when he crossed the fire, he burned part of his trousers, and his long black hair was burned a lot, and when he rushed over the coals, the soot rose and blackened his face. When the last level of ten thousand snakes pierced his heart, he saw colorful snakes crawling in the pool, creepy, and his whole body was in a cold sweat, but for the last bit of illusory hope, he hardened his head, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and rushed over in one breath.
In fact, these so-called poisonous snakes are not really poisonous snakes.
Crawling in the pool is a creature called Spider, which looks like a snake, has teeth and is not venomous, and does not like to attack people, but when attacked, it will bluff and bite each other in order to protect itself.
When Ji Zheng rushed through the "snake pool" like crazy, those spiders were frightened, and most of them fled to the corner, a small part bit Ji Zheng's hands and feet, and some spiders attacked his chest and back. The two long sharp fangs bit his flesh fiercely, and the pain was deep to the bones, but Ji Zheng didn't let out any screams, muffled, bit his chin tightly, bit his lower lip, closed his eyes, and rushed over.
Ji Zheng only felt that the little snakes drilled into his body, and the "poisonous fangs" bit every part of his body, and the heart-devouring pain came suddenly, and after jumping into the snake pool with all his strength, he only felt that the world was spinning, and his eyes were dark, and he actually fainted.
When he woke up, he found himself in a room, the walls around him were empty, only an oil lamp hung by the door, and in the dim light, a graceful figure was so familiar and so strange.
"Sister Tingyan?" Ji Zheng shouted out in excitement, but due to the excessive force, his body felt as if he had been burned by fire, and he felt a heart-rending pain just by moving a little.
He screamed.
"Your Highness. After hearing the scream, Ting Yan turned around, and wanted to reach out to support Ji Zheng, but suddenly thought of Huang Quan's previous warnings, and his hand hurriedly drew a semicircle in mid-air, and then took it back, and his expression immediately became gloomy, "I came back this time to say goodbye to His Highness." ”
Ting Yan's voice was not loud, but there was no doubt that a thunderbolt sounded on a sunny day, making Ji Zheng's heart tremble and stunned: "How come?"
Before this, Ji Zheng had dreamed many times of the situation when the two met again, and it would be beautiful.
As soon as the golden phoenix and jade dew meet, they are better than countless people in the world.
He thought that the two would look at each other and smile, just as beautiful as when they first met, he thought that the two would hug and cry together, for this hard-won reunion, he thought that the two would go down hand in arm, and they would never be separated again.
He had thought about it a lot, but he never thought that it would be such an ending, that the girl who had been thinking about it for a long time, when they met again, would be ruthless and say goodbye to him.
"I can't stay here too long, or I'll be discovered. Seeing that Ji Zheng was slammed, Ting Yan was very distressed, and tried to make himself laugh and cheer him up a little, but found that no matter what he thought, he couldn't control the chicken on his face, and he couldn't do anything, so he had to smile sadly.
"What's the matter if you find out, if you go back to Haojing with me, no one will dare to hurt you. Ji Zheng was so anxious that he was about to cry, looking at Ting Yan with anticipation, expecting that she would agree.
"You guessed?" Ting Yan didn't answer, but instead asked a nonsensical question.
"Guessed something. Ji Zheng didn't understand what Ting Yan said, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that it was so difficult to meet her, and she must not be allowed to say goodbye without saying goodbye.
This time she will not be allowed to run away.
Excited, Ji Zheng took a step forward, wanting to take Tingyan's hand.
"Nope. Ting Yan knew that he wanted to cut off the love thread, and he must not break the thread with Ji Zheng again, it would only hurt him, so he suddenly took two steps back, widened the distance from Ji Zheng, and just saw the calligraphy and painting written by Ji Zheng on the table, picked it up, looked at it carefully, and was happy and sad, "What His Highness said to me is the same as what I want to say to you, I am very happy." ”
"Yes, it proves that our fate is predestined, and you see, I am willing to go through many difficulties for you. Ji Zheng thought that Tingyan had changed his mind and was even more happy.
"I see the sincerity of His Highness's dedication to me. Ting Yan saw that Ji Zheng was covered with scars, and even his hair was scorched by the fire, he was both loving and relieved, "Being able to get His Royal Highness's sincere love, Ting Yan feels that this trip is worth it." ”
"Then what are you hesitating about, come back to Mijing with me. Ji Zheng said, stretched out his hand to hold Ting Yan's hand, moved slightly, and felt a pain all over his body, and screamed out.
"Your Highness, it hurts, doesn't it?" Tingyan dodged, his face full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I can't." I have come back this time to give a few words of advice to Your Highness. I was so touched to see His Highness give me all his love, and I didn't dare to ask for anything more. ”
"What advice? I don't feel comfortable without you by my side. Ji Zheng never knew why Tingyan was avoiding him.
"Time is short, I can't say more to you. "Ting Yan is afraid of the people of the Witch Alliance, now the ancient city of Pangu is full of wizards, especially Wushan is nearby, it may rush in every minute, and every extra moment of stay here will be more dangerous," the little brother of Huangquan is trustworthy, one of them. ”
"Naturally, if it weren't for his guidance, I wouldn't have been able to see you, and I will thank him in the future. Ji Zheng readily agreed to Ting Yan's words, and he could feel that Huang Quan was genuinely good to him.
Ting Yan smiled slightly, seeing that Ji was saying this, like a child: "Little brother Huangquan has no desires, freedom is his greatest happiness." ”
"Then I'll give him the largest land, and he can go wherever he wants. ”
"His Highness doesn't seem to know where he came from. Tingyan shook his head.
He wouldn't say. ”
In the future, maybe he will say, in short, no matter what happens in the future, the little brother of Huangquan is credible. ”
"Okay, got it. ”
"Your Highness, you must not return to Haojing, this is the second one. ”
"I won't go back, I'll go wherever Sister Tingyan goes. ”
"No, Your Highness, you have more important things to do, don't get caught up in it for me. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Like your ancestors, save the living. ”
Ji Zheng sighed, spread his hands, and his face was very depressed: "But I'm just a waste prince now, even if I have such intentions, I can't do it." ”
"So, you're going to the Witch Alliance......" Ting Yan was talking, when he suddenly noticed something strange around him, and his figure flashed to the right quickly, and he was able to dodge the opponent's attack.
Wu Shan's tall figure only then appeared, and he stood in front of Ji Zheng, his mountain-like figure completely blocking the latter's view.
"Your Excellency, are you really going to kill them all?" Ting Yan looked desperate.
"Thou hast gone into the world to confuse the crown prince, and you have violated the rules of the Witch Alliance. Wu Shan said lightly.
"Great Wizard Wushan, what are you going to do to Sister Tingyan?" Ji Zheng was puzzled.
"Destroying demons is my witch clan's duty. ”
"Sister Tingyan is neither a demon nor a demon, why do you want to get rid of her?"
"See for yourself. As Wu Shan spoke, he suddenly cast a restraint spell on Ting Yan.
Ting Yan didn't expect the other party to say that she would do it, this restraint technique was instantaneous, and she was about to escape, but she was pushed to the corner by the opponent's powerful Qi body, and the huge oppressive force made her breathless, and under the heavy pressure, her face became hideous, and a white tail gradually appeared.
"Are you a nine-tailed fox, from Tu Mountain?" Wu Shan hummed for a moment, and when he spoke, he had already changed the tone of doubt in his heart to a tone of affirmation.
Ji Zheng saw this situation, couldn't accept it for a while, and fainted again.
Ting Yan wanted to run over to take a look, but Wu Shan sped up the operation of the Qi body and imprisoned her more firmly.
At this moment, there was a roar of strange beasts outside the house, and then dust and smoke came up, and there were a few rumbling sounds, and the room was knocked open on three walls.
Ting Yan took the opportunity to escape the confinement and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on?" Wushan saw dozens of tall beasts attacking frantically on the street, and the barbarians were slashing everywhere with long knives, many people didn't have time to flee for their lives, and were slashed and killed on the street, and the rest of the people threw down their things in their hands, crying for their fathers and calling for their mothers, while pulling their legs and running away.
"Barbarian raid. Biluo jumped to Wushan's side at this time, with a solemn expression, "Father has already sent the Imperial Forest Army to stop them. ”
"Protect the people first. Wushan handed Ji Zheng over to the other wizards who came with him.
"What's wrong with him?" Biluo didn't know about the situation in the house, and when she saw Ji Zheng fainting, she thought he was injured by the barbarians.
When the fox demon revealed its true form, he was stunned. ”
"Hmph, she still dares to come? It's so daring, maybe she thinks that the wizard heaven is an ornament. ”
"Don't talk about that yet. Wu Shan found Wu Yuan in the crowd and ordered him to go down: "Let the demon hunting team follow me to attack the barbarians, and the rest of the team evacuate the people." ”
"Huh. Wu Rong took the order and left.
Soon, seven sturdy wizards gathered around Wu Shan, and Wu Shan rushed forward and said, "Find the leader of the barbarians, and I will negotiate with him." ”
"Huh. The sorcerers replied, and before they had taken a few steps, they heard the barbarians shouting and shouting, and then saw them run out of the city on strange beasts like the wind, and soon disappeared into the night.
Wushan looked back, the direction of Chengtian Palace was red, and the sky above the entire Tongbai Kingdom was reflected as bright as day. Sure enough, there were several slow-running alien beasts, which were hit by a sudden red light, as if they had been struck by a lightning bolt, and after a flash of fire, they were refined together with the barbarians.
Huang Quan was about to leave the city, when suddenly a huge roar came from afar, like thunder rising from the ground, one after another, endlessly.
As the roar approached, I saw hundreds of highland beasts destroying the city wall all the way, constantly slapping the roof beams and roofs, and some of the strange beasts jumped high, jumped over the city wall, and tore the people on the street into several pieces when they landed, and swallowed them in one gulp.
"Run, barbarians. ”
"His Majesty is here to save us. ”
"No, it's a barbarian. ”
.......
The people of Pangu City were trampled on the ground in an instant, with countless deaths and injuries, and many people cried for their fathers and mothers, running around, at this moment, Pangu City seemed to have become a hell in the underworld.
"Brother, should we help the old man?" Huang Lian was held on Huang Quan's shoulders and fled with the flow of people.
"The king is much more powerful than your brother, and your brother will only drag his feet when he goes up. Huang Quan dodged the push and shove of several people around him with his agile skills, and replied to Huang Lian's words unhurriedly.
"And where are we going now?"
"Get out of town first and then make plans. Huang Quan didn't look back at all, he ran much faster than those ordinary people, and soon ran to the city, "The old man said that as long as the task is completed, you can go anywhere, hehe, now I am free." After saying that, he jumped a few times in a row, jumped on the female wall, and walked like a shadow in the wind, although he carried a person on his back, but it was effortless.
A strange beast rushed to Huang Quan's side, and Huang Quan suddenly accelerated and dodged lightly.
The barbarian was stunned for a moment, obviously unexpectedly that there were still Terrans who could avoid the attack of the alien beasts under his seat, and when he looked back, there was still a human figure in the darkness.
It was a strange thing every year, especially this year, he patted his head and was about to move on, but when he heard the people calling for retreat, he hurriedly tightened the reins, let the beast turn in a different direction, and joined the other barbarian companions.
These barbarians rode strange beasts like a torrent of steel and leaked out of the city, causing the people of Pangu City to experience a disaster like falling into the underworld in a short period of time.
