In this way, there are still three generals left.

At this time, the other three raised their eyes and saw that at a low altitude of more than ten zhang above the ground, a few silver rays of light occasionally appeared under the sunlight.

"That's ......"

One of them widened his eyes, as if sensing something.

The other two also reacted immediately, and their eyes suddenly showed frightened looks.

"That's a wire net!"

One of them exclaimed, but he kept his voice as low as he could, for he had sensed that loud voices would lead to death.

Looking at the miserable guy in front of him, the remaining three people were holding the hands of the spirit soldiers, and they were also trembling, and even their faces were pale.

"Don't come here...... Don't come here!"

"Ahhh

In the distance, the soldiers kept shouting and waving the spirit soldiers in their hands.

The whole scene was chaotic, but the blood-colored buds were bursting out one after another, and every few breaths one person would die under the attack of the silver thread. But anyone who is locked by the silver thread cannot be stopped at all, without exception.

"Damn ......"

A general's breathing became short, suppressing the fear in his heart, and turned his head to look at Dongfang Shuo, "It's all your fault, if you hadn't forced us to let go of the spirit horse, we would have broken through by now, why is this?!"

At this time, the expression of pain and struggle on Dongfang Shuo's face had completely disappeared, and all that was left was calm like a pool of stagnant water.

He quietly looked at the general who blamed him, and said, "If I hadn't forced you to let go of the spirit horse, you would have died long ago, and you would have buried the spirit horse in vain." ”

"Impossible!"

The general immediately refuted.

Dongfang Shuo sighed and shook his head, then slowly stood up and patted the dust on his trouser leg.

Seeing him get up, the three generals all widened their eyes: "This ...... How is this possible? You shouldn't be able to move right now!"

"It's just a little poison, how can it work on me?" Dongfang Shuo laughed.

Of course, the effect will be there, but while Dongfang Shuo ate the food and water they gave, he also ate the universal antidote bought by the system without being noticed, fortunately, this poison is very simple, so the price of the corresponding antidote is not expensive.

One of the generals was surprised: "But you just ...... Obviously ......"

"If it's on Earth, tsk, where will the Oscar little golden man get the little plum?" Dongfang Shuo smiled.

Although they couldn't understand what he was saying, the three generals also understood that Dongfang Shuo's actions just now were pretending from beginning to end.

But then, a general scolded in a low voice: "But so what, if you hadn't let the spirit horse go your own way, we would all be safe and sound now!"

Dongfang Shuo shook his head and said, "The spirit horse is a demon beast, and the demon beast will naturally mobilize the surrounding heaven and earth aura when it exerts its strength. Unlike other living beings, demon spirits do not have a sense of hearing and smell, and can only rely on the aura of heaven and earth to perceive their surroundings. Once the spirit horse runs, it will first become the target of the demon spirit's attack, and mobilizing the aura of heaven and earth can be a hundred times more violent than the aura fluctuations caused by yelling. ”

The demon spirit does not have five senses, this is the detail that Dongfang Shuo discovered when he accompanied Qiu Yebai on a mission before.

However, among all the people present, only Dongfang Shuo had come into contact with demon spirits.

This is not surprising, because the tasks that can access the essentials are either Class A or Class B, and at the most they are also Level C, and the people present are all people outside the prefectural area without exception, and they are not even top-notch below the prefectural district, so they have no chance of contacting the demon spirit at all.

"It's useless to talk about this now!" a general gritted his teeth, then looked around, "Even now, our chances of survival are quite slim, what are we talking about?"

"Damn, if we had known this earlier, we would have had a chance to live. Another general said.

And what he said about doing it earlier naturally means to make a move on Dongfang Shuo earlier.

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo was not angry.

He clasped his hands around and said, "Even if you do it earlier, your poison won't be able to do anything to me." Moreover, if you leave witnesses after you kill me, you will not survive, so you can only choose to do it to me here. In addition, if I were Lu Yanzhang, I shouldn't let you go back alive. ”

These words made the three of them stunned.

Immediately after that, one of them immediately condensed and said: "You fart! You are a national thief, we killed you, it is a meritorious service to protect the country, after General Lu is Zhongliang, how can he kill Zhongliang?!"

Dongfang Shuo laughed and said, "Would you rather believe that a person who forced back the Guihai Empire's alliance is a national thief, rather than believe that Lu Yanzhang sent you to kill me for personal revenge?"

The so-called personal feud between the two has long been known.

And such a sharp question suddenly made the three of them look stunned, and suddenly they couldn't answer.

"But now that things have developed to this point, it is useless to say that, what we should think about most now is how to survive here!" A general clenched his hands, turned his head to look at the soldiers who were constantly dying under the attack of the silver thread, and his eyes also showed a very solemn look.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo followed his line of sight and swept all the soldiers at a glance.

After this period of time, the number of casualties has reached fifty, and if it is left unchecked, it will soon break a hundred.

Looking at the soldiers, Dongfang Shuo suddenly spoke: "What I said half an hour ago, you should still remember, right?"

The three generals all frowned, and one of them asked, "What?"

"I said at the time, I am not a god or Buddha, I do not have the ability to protect all of you, and it is up to you whether you can survive in the end. Dongfang Shuo repeated what he said.

But these words made the three generals puzzled at all.

"What's the point of saying this now, of course we know you can't protect us, that's why we're in a hurry!" one of them whispered.

Dongfang Shuo, on the other hand, shook his head.

Then, his gaze swept from the soldiers' bodies, to the crystal worms hanging from the trees, and finally landed in a certain direction.

What his attention locks on.

"I'm saying that I can't protect all of you, not you. Dongfang Shuo paused, then looked at the three remaining generals, "Your life and death are up to you." Make a choice. ”

The three of them were stunned.

And then, Dongfang Shuo's eyes looked at the bones that were still hung by countless silver wires at this moment: "It's a thief." Then, he looked at the soldiers who were being wrecked by the silver threads one after another, and finally looked at the three generals, "Or live?"

The faces of the three of them changed slightly, and they turned to look at the soldier who was still dwindling.

Maybe their motives may not be simple, but in the final analysis, they are also for this empire, because General Lu said that Dongfang Shuo is a national thief, and the empire will die if he stays with him.

But now, if they don't bow their heads to Dongfang Shuo, those comrades who came with them, and even many brothers who were born like this, will die here.

Originally, the killing of the national thief Dongfang Shuo, the death of the soldiers may still be meaningful. But if Dongfang Shuo is not a national thief, the death of the soldiers will really be meaningless.

And the main thing is that if you don't bow your head, not only will the soldiers die, but after the soldiers are dead, it will be their turn.

After struggling, the three finally made a unanimous choice.

"We want to live. ”

The three of them bowed their heads and knelt down in front of Dongfang Shuo.

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth hooked.

"Good. ”
