Chapter 301: Two People (Part I)
A pool of clear water swirled in the slender hand of crystal jade, and then flowed down from between the fingers, like a small waterfall, sprinkled on the skin that could be broken by blowing like clotted cream, and deceived the frost and snow, and then ran down along the concave and convex, graceful and seductive curves. The water was clear and hot, and the steaming water vapor covered her naked body, which looked so beautiful.
Shi Yuxuan leaned on the edge of the hot spring, quietly enjoying the stimulation of the hot water on her body. With Shen Hao's help, he finally broke through the last shackles, and the Ten Thousand Poison Demon Heart Sutra finally reached the Great Perfection realm, and thousands of poisons were collected and released freely, and he would no longer have any burden on his body. The most obvious change was that the water she had bathed in remained clear, instead of becoming a large pool of jet-black venom as it had done in the past.
At the same time, she can finally clearly perceive the net of rules of the Nightmare Realm, and control the power of her own rules. This mysterious feeling made her immersed in it, and she couldn't extricate herself for a long time, perhaps the fruits obtained after hard struggle are even more precious.
“...... Are you accurate with this news? Shen Hao, who was lying on the other side of the hot spring, said in a deep voice. He was soaked in the spring from the neck down, and even now his muscles were still trembling imperceptibly. Unlike Shi Yuxuan, who benefited a lot, Shen Hao's physical condition at this time was very bad, in just one hour, his body had cycled between destruction and regeneration more than 3,600 times, and the potential of every cell in his body was almost completely squeezed out.
However, the misfortune and fortune are relied on, and the blessing and misfortune are lurking, and after this almost overloaded operation of the Nine Deaths Evil Skill, Shen Hao's cultivation that has been stagnant for many years has actually improved a little. Although he was unable to cultivate to the Great Perfection Realm because the inheritance he had received was only a fragment, he had almost reached the limit of what he could improve at this time.
"You can't go wrong." Shi Yuxuan stretched lazily, not caring at all that her perfect curves were revealed in front of Shen Hao, "A few days ago, I received a report from the palace that an envoy from Avili had come to the royal capital of Tartalya to discuss with the council the matter of forming an alliance against Korulod, according to the news sent back from our city's office in the royal capital, it was said that a young elf with black hair and black eyes appeared in the envoy group. Hehe, I asked them to urgently draw the images of those three people, except that the ears are pointed, they are almost exactly the same as your fiancée and the two brothers and sisters of the Chen family. ”
When he said the three words of his fiancée, Shi Yuxuan's tone was a little joking, and Rao is Shen Hao was full of concentration, and he couldn't help but blush. Well, when discussing his fiancée, he also took a mandarin duck bath with another woman, which is very inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
"That'...... Is Aveli's legation still in the royal capital? Shen Hao coughed unconsciously, wanting to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"I guess I'm gone by now." Shi Yuxuan spread her hands and said helplessly, "After receiving their exact news, I also planned to go to them, but just as I was about to set off, Krurod's army came over, and my Zama City was on the edge of the swamp, so it happened to bear the brunt. ”
"Actually, when you came here that day, we had already fought against the army of the Crurod six times, and the opponent was the most elite Bimon army in the Crulod, and the only thing formed in my border city was the golden brute, so we have been pressed and beaten by them all the time. Fortunately, a few days ago, the Krulord's side withdrew most of their troops without knowing what was happening, and I received reinforcements from the eight-headed Hydra Jiao secretly sent by the kingdom, so I set up the previous ambush and defeated the opponent's attack in one fell swoop. ”
"I think it might have something to do with Krulod's attack on the Heliann fortress on the border of Erathia." Shen Hao soaked in the hot spring for a while, and felt that the strength in his body had finally recovered, so he supported his body and sat up. It's been a long, long time since I've tried to be so weak, Shen Hao shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, and then said, "The sneak attack of the Beast Legion was unsuccessful, although it annihilated part of Erathia's city defenses, the number of defenders in the city was still considerable, and with the advantage of the danger, it would never be a problem to hold the fortress for three or five days. Thinking about this time, Gondelon's reinforcements must have arrived, not to mention the Silver Heavy Knights, maybe the Angel of Light will also come, so Krulord will transfer most of the Beamon Legion over, after all, there are two fronts of fighting, and there is Aveli's army eyeing the border, even the war empire Krulod will not be able to bear it. ”
"It's a pity that Tartaglia's army is more than well defended and not aggressive enough." Shi Yuxuan sighed, using a comb made of unknown animal bones, and combed his long hair slowly, "After all, it has only been a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the background is incomparable to those thousand-year-old empires. Coupled with the fact that there are some simple-minded swamp natives and mutated creatures with developed limbs, it would be good to be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage of the Death Swamp to protect themselves, otherwise I would also like to send troops to attack while Krulord and Erathia are at war, and maybe I can catch the other Nightmare Hunters trapped in Krurod's camp. ”
After being silent for a moment, Shen Hao suddenly realized that his topic seemed to be deviated, and hurriedly asked, "Then where is Avili's envoy group now?" ”
"I don't know." Shi Yuxuan spread her hands, "They all came on Pegasus, and their mobility is even stronger than the bipedal wyvern in my hand, if they return to Avili, they may have arrived at this time." Speaking of this, she raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Hao, whose face was unswerving, and asked with a chuckle, "What?" Want to find them in Avili? ”
"That's natural, and it's lucky, Aveli and we are not hostile forces, otherwise I really don't know what to do if we want to meet them." Shen Hao sighed, and began to scoop up the warm spring water and splash it on his face, "The current situation is confusing, the crisis is hidden in the shadows, we must gather all the forces we can find together." ”
Shi Yuxuan smiled and shook her head, she knew that Shen Hao was actually just worried about Su Yue's safety, but there was no need to break it in person, she stood up from the water, swayed her body and walked to Shen Hao's side generously, the warm and jade-like Qianqian jade fingers fell on Shen Hao's body, and began to knead it slowly: "Rest for another day, recover your strength, I will also deal with the post-war affairs of Zama City, and roughly arrange some defense." Then I'll go with you......"
......
Erathia, Aveli, Korulod and Tataria, the four countries are distributed in a T-shape. Erathia and Crulod are facing each other east and west, while Avili and Tartaglia are at the north and south ends of Crurod, respectively. Therefore, if you want to get from Tartaglia to Avili, the only way to get to Avili is to take a detour through Erathia and take an arc route, except for crossing the Kororod, which is similar to a death-seeking method.
Although Tartaglia and Erathia were not hostile to each other, they did not have a good relationship with each other. The Erathian Empire, which believes in the Holy Religion, has always been somewhat repulsive to foreigners, and now it is a time of war, the Krulod army is overwhelmed, and Nigon often raids and harasses the border towns of Erathia through some underground passages, if you bring a large group of Tatarian troops, it will definitely not be able to enter the border of Erathia smoothly.
Fortunately, Shen Hao and Shi Yuxuan still belong to the human race, and it is not a troublesome problem if only the two of them enter alone, after all, in this world, mercenaries are also a very common organization.
"That's right, I didn't expect you to be just a small miscellaneous soldier, and you can actually get two pieces of magic equipment." Shi Yuxuan looked at Shen Hao jokingly. It is a world of swords and sorcery, and in addition to the ordinary weapons used to equip the army on a large scale, there are many advanced equipment that contain special magical effects. Some of these equipment are smelted and made by some genius earth treasures by some casting masters, and some are even innate things that have been passed down from ancient times.
These magical equipment are divided into ten levels, from the lowest to the highest, and can be divided into twelve categories from their function. There are even some pieces of equipment that can be assembled into sets to exert artifact-level power.
As the lord of the city of Tartagria, Shi Yuxuan only has three pieces of magical equipment in his hands, including a defensive fourth-level equipment "Great Serpent God Breastplate", a lucky fourth-level jewelry "Clover Chain Pendant", and an offensive fifth-level weapon "Fangs Dagger".
But Shen Hao was lucky, the "Sword in the Stone" that he picked up was an offensive third-level weapon, and the "Caesinavela Cloak" that he touched from the snake's nest was actually a real seventh-level equipment, although the physical defense was negligible, it was second only to the ninth-level pseudo-artifact "Chaos Battle Armor" in terms of anti-demon ability. This is also the main reason why he was hit by the "Thunder Thunder" under the urging of Mo Sheng Valley's king-level nightmare energy before, and he only felt a little numb.
Shen Hao is quite satisfied with this, he has always been very strong in physical resistance with the Nine Deaths Evil Skill Protector, but in the face of the magic attacks that cannot be ignored in this world, he is always a little constrained. Now with the help of this anti-demon cloak, if you meet Ling Jiancheng's two or five boys, hum, it means that there is a grudge to repay the grudge, and there is a revenge to take revenge.
The two of them landed on the edge of the Esquil Mountains on the edge of the Esquir Mountains, which is already a strategic buffer zone with Erathia, and seven kilometers further on is the border city of Rodrian City, the border city of Erathia, where you can already see some mercenaries who enter the mountains to hunt some magical beasts or look for some rare plants, and occasionally see caravans of hundreds of people.
These daring merchants traveled back and forth between Erathia and Tartaglia, risking their lives to make a hundredfold of trade profits. After all, although the two countries did not have good relations with each other, they did not declare war on each other, and even the high-level leaders of the Holy Religion turned a blind eye to this kind of behavior that was beneficial to the livelihood of the people of the two countries.
The distance of seven kilometers took less than ten minutes for Shen Hao and Shi Yuxuan, and they naturally didn't worry about shocking the world in the wilderness. Soon, the reddish-brown walls characteristic of the city of Roderion were already in the field of vision not far away.
