After separating from the panda man Xili, Sunset, Sharui, and the remnant spirit went straight to the capital, where they were greeted by Lady Oiran. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the way, Sha Rui's role as the king of donkeys began to become prominent, and there were constantly wild donkeys, domestic donkeys, and even wild asses in the Western Regions coming to deliver news, but the news became more and more worrying. The Tiger King and the Snake King rebelled at the same time, and the sea city was surrounded by a group of sea monsters. The city of Shacheng in the Far Western Regions has been completely insulated from the outside world, and trade on the Silk Road has been forced to be interrupted entirely.

It was getting dark quickly, and they were still a day's way from the capital, so they had to stay in a small village in a hilly area on the outskirts of the capital. Along the way, the remnant spirit was both excited to come to the outside world and sad because of leaving Xili, so Sunwind first arranged a place for the remnant to live and let her rest first. After the remnant spirit fell asleep peacefully, Sunwind followed Sharui to the entrance of the village.

"It seems that the Dark Lord and the Sea Dead King have really joined forces, and the road to the Far Western Regions will become even more difficult!" Shari said worriedly, which made his donkey's face look even older, "Without the help of the Far Western Witch Valley, we are no match for them at all!" ”

"Wait...... Who is it? Shari suddenly became alert, and there was a rustling sound in the shadows.

Eight dark shadows flashed out of the bushes by the side of the road.

"It's you again!" Sunset recognized them first.

It turned out to be the eight samurai of Otoro Country who had been waiting for a long time.

"Don't worry! This time, we will not embarrass you, and we have been entrusted by the noble people to protect Lord Sunwind! The samurai leader Xin Kai said respectfully, "If you don't fight, you don't know each other, what else do you want to cover?" ”

"Sunset, beware of deception!" Sharui reminded.

Sunset certainly doesn't believe them easily.

"Your Excellency?"

This is the Crystal Empire's honorific name for officials, but the sunset wind sounds particularly harsh.

"You are the son of a nobleman, we can only call it that now, hehe, if the son doesn't like it, we can call you 'young master'! We have no eyes, offended the young master, and I hope to forgive us! ”

"Noble? Father! This was the first thing that came to Sunwind's mind, and he asked anxiously, "When did you see him?" ”

"Well, it's not your father, it's your mother!" Xin Kai replied honestly.

"Mother?!" Sunset never thought it was her mother, "When did you meet her, and where is she now?" ”

"Well, let's be honest!"

So, Xin Kai told them how they met Pan Yu and how they were defeated, but he didn't dare to say that Pan Yu was the queen of the Zerg and controlled them. They knew that Pan Yu was disgusted with the fact that she was the queen of the Zerg, and they didn't want to be bored!

"It was Madame Xi who left us dead. In order to repay the grace of not killing, we accepted the promise to protect the young master, as a warrior of the Yinluo Kingdom, of course we will protect you with our lives and honor! ”

Seeing Xin Kai's sincere eyes, he thought of the difficulty of going to the Far Western Regions; At the same time, Yukaze knows that the samurai of the Otoluo Kingdom attach great importance to their honor. So, Sunset nodded slightly.

Of course, Sha Rui knew the power of these eight samurai, and when he thought that his opponent had become a helper, he had to marvel at how good the background of the young man in front of him was. Thinking that his hope of recovering the country had more chances of winning, he accepted the eight samurai to join, of course, there was still a little awkwardness in the atmosphere.

"Alas! You're just doing what you want! Change the evil from the good, turn back to the shore, it is never too late! Sha Rui started a round, "But we are going to the Far Western Regions, do you dare to follow?" ”

"Far West?" When Long Ji heard this word, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

Xin Kai was disapproving, "As a samurai, since you have agreed to the duty of guarding, you will not hesitate to go up the mountain and go down to the oil pot!" By the way, Long Ji, isn't the mystery of your background related to the Far Western Regions? ”

Long Ji nodded, "Maybe I can find my birth mother!" This is God's chance, and I am determined to go to the Far Western Regions this time! ”

"Who of you wouldn't want to go? The road is long and dangerous, any of you can quit, we will not blame, I will explain to Madame! Xin Kai looked around at his brothers, his eyes full of sincerity, and he knew that this was probably the way back.

"Buddies are one! We swear to advance and retreat together with Long Ji! One of them shouted.

"That's right! ......," the remaining five said in unison.

"Needless to say, as long as I'm alive, I'll bring you all back to the snail!" Xin Kai said.

Xin Kai and Long Ji's eyes were filled with tears.

……

On the way to the capital, donkeys of all colors kept coming to deliver letters. However, it's all bad news. The sea city was besieged by many sea monsters, and the Maritime Silk Road was completely interrupted; The Northeast Tiger King rebelled, and the court still had nothing to do.

By the time we arrived at the village, it was evening, and a black donkey had hurried in, but it was already out of breath.

"Oh no, king...... Xijia Village ...... Something happened in Xijia Village! …… The sea monster has attacked Xijia Village! ”

Sunset couldn't help but get nervous, and of course he was worried about Sunset first. My mother and father were not in Xijia Village, but went to support the Lion King, and at this time, someone attacked Xijia Village, obviously prepared.

"Who could it be?" The sunset wind pondered.

"Sunset, what do you want? Let's go to Xijia Village! I think there will be nothing going on in Xijia Village, my fellow donkeys will continue to gather news about Xijia Village, and they will obey your command! ”

Of course, Sha Rui knew that Sunset Wind was anxious, so he hurriedly comforted him.

"Sea monsters? Could it really be the conspiracy of the Sea Dead King? Xin Kai behind Sunwind said, "The last time I returned to the country of Yinluo, there was already news on the Maritime Silk Road that the Sea Dead King had expanded his strength and was preparing to get involved in the crystal mine!" Obviously, the Sea Dead King sees Xijia Village as an obstacle to the capture of Crystal City! ”

"You mean, the Dead King's purpose is Crystal City?" Sharui hurriedly asked.

"That's right! To dominate the sea, energy crystals are indispensable! Pure trade can no longer meet the needs of the Sea Dead King. Xin Kai further explained.

"So, the King of the Sea Dead has a desire to take it? …… But why did he delay until now to remember to capture Crystal City? …… Could there be other plans? Or even - maybe a conspiracy? Shari asked uneasily.

"It's hard to say, after all, few people really know about the Sea Dead King!" Xin Kai replied.

"I want to go back to Xijia Village first!" The sunset wind made up his mind.

"Of course you should go back, but you can't go alone! Our opponent is the Sea Death King, a large number of sea monsters seem to have been rampant on the Qinglong River, the strength of a few of us alone is not the opponent of the Sea Death King, but don't forget that I have a fleet in the capital! And my donkey brothers from all over the world! Although I have the name of king, I have the responsibility to fight for the honor of the donkeys! Since he has become the king of donkeys, he should be treated. There are still twenty or so of my ships in Crystal City; There are more than 1,000 of my donkey brothers in the crystal mines. And, of course, there's Lady Oiran, who's recruiting in the capital! These are my capital against the Sea Dead King, and they are yours too! ”

"So what do we do next?" Xin Kai asked.

"Tomorrow at dawn, we will go to the capital to meet Mrs. Oiran, and by the way, learn more about Xijia Village, and then gather people and horses to drive directly to Xijia Village!" Sharui replied.

"Then we're not going to Crystal City?" Ryuhime asked suspiciously.

"Let's go to Xijia Village first to find out the situation, the Sea Death King may be paying attention to the crystal mine, and the defense of Xijia Village is weak, in this way, Xijia Village is a good breakthrough point, don't forget that our Xifeng master is a native of Xijia Village, and he is very familiar with it, which is very beneficial to us!" Shari further explained, "What do you say, Brother Sunwind? ”

Xifeng was anxious to return to Xijia Village, and immediately nodded.

"Whatever the outcome of your deliberations, I'll soon be ready to go! If you can help me, I'm grateful, but I won't force you, but the safety of the remnants is my responsibility, and I'll take her with me! ”

Of course, Xifeng knew that Sharui wanted to take advantage of the situation to control the territory of Xijia Village. Through the recent period of understanding, Xifeng feels that Sha Rui is still a person who can be trusted, although he is a little crazy when he thinks about recovering the country, but he is still full of sincerity to himself. Thinking that what he said just now might be too heavy, Xifeng said again: "I am a person who is used to freedom, and I especially don't want my affairs to cause trouble to others!" ”

"Alas! You and I are already friends, and I know what is in your heart, and although I want to become the king of the human race, I am also a very realistic donkey! Friends are hard to find, especially in these bizarre times, after all, you and I have common enemies, and remnants are the core of our protection! ”

Xin Kai, Long Ji and his party have been on guard all the time, not daring to be careless. After all, it is close to the capital, and now the capital is already in the news, although there is no lockdown and martial law, but the situation around the capital has been very tense. It's not a good idea to stay overnight!

Soon there were Sharui's subordinates coming to visit, including donkeys and donkeys' families. They even brought in plenty of food and clothing, which of course made Sarih "donkey-faced"! As a result, the village, which had only a few households, immediately became lively.

The people of the village were not surprised to see these strange people and donkeys. There have been enough strange things around the capital recently. This small village is only a day's journey from the Qinglong River in the western suburbs of the capital, and the news that the sea monsters of the Qinglong River have also appeared near the capital have already reached the ears of the villagers. In recent times, there have been several strange waves of people here: small armies that have come to reinforce them; There are a few blonde mages from the Far West; There is even a group of Taoist aunts who are as beautiful as flowers! Sharui threw a feast in the village, and the villagers became guests! Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the group of beautiful Taoist aunts became the most willing topic for the villagers to talk about!

There is no village without a river, this small village sits on the edge of a hill and a small river runs through the village. It was already completely dark, and the village had become a big banquet for Sarui, and the eight samurai had become the guests of honor at the banquet, and Yufu noticed that the dragon queen was not at the banquet. Sunset thought of the remnants along the way, the remnants were always silent, and it seemed that leaving Xili and the canyon made the remnants very sad.

Every time I go to a strange place, Xifeng is always used to look around, and by the way, I can relieve my dull mood. So, he quietly left the banquet and prepared to go to the stream to be quiet for a while.

"Sunset!"

When the evening breeze looked back, it was a remnant in white! The delicate and slightly melancholy face in the moonlight is as pitiful as a white hibiscus.

"Where are you going?" The remnant asked softly.

"I want to go out for a walk. By the way, what about your package? "The package contains precious hellfire silkworms, and the sunset wind is afraid that it will be lost.

"Don't worry! Look, on me! After speaking, the remnant spirit stretched out its white jade arm, and the evening breeze saw that several fire silkworms seeped into the skin of the remnant spirit's two arms like tattoos, as if they were drawn with a fine brush!

"What's going on?" Sunset asked in amazement.

"This is the secret of our clan! - Parasitism! The Hellfire Silkworm is a part of my life! Through the rest just now, these hellfire silkworms have successfully parasitized my body, and my spiritual power has ......."

The remnant suddenly stopped talking. He began to quietly observe his surroundings, and then whispered, "My spiritual power has increased several times!" ”

"Listen? There seems to be a bubble blowing sound! "It seems to have come from the river!" ”

The sunset wind listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a gurgling sound.

There were several haystacks in the village by the river, and the sunset wind and remnants quietly crept into the haystacks to observe the direction in which the sound came. It didn't get dark for long, and there was still some lingering charm in the glow of the western sky, and the thin clouds could not hide the face of the moon in the eastern sky. The faint moonlight makes the village river still sparkling.

"Look, those two black stones in the river!" The remnant pointed out.

The evening breeze looked in the direction of the remnant's finger, and there were two huge stone-like objects in the river not far away. In a small river like this, there are two huge stones like this, which is particularly abrupt. Sunset remembers that when he crossed the river to the village during the day, there were no two boulders.

The two decided to sneak closer to the river to get a glimpse of it.

"Huh? Those two stones seem to be moving! The remnant whispered in surprise.

Sunset noticed that there were two bright spots on the edges of the two stones, like two eyes.

"Crab!" A flash suddenly flashed in Sunwind's mind. He remembered the beautiful scene when he was a child and went to catch crabs with his friends in the village under the autumn sunset. That's what the crab should look like, but the crab in front of me is a little bigger!

"Don't startle the snake!" Sunset said softly, "Could it be the minions of the Sea Dead King?" ”

"Hey, hey! Don't worry, catching this kind of thing is my specialty! After speaking, the remnant spirit rushed to the river, "Hell refining nets!" ”

A "fishing net" glowing red suddenly appeared in the remnant's hand and dispersed towards the two crabs.

By the time the evening breeze came to its senses, the remnant had already dragged the two crabs out with a "fishing net".

"It's so heavy! Brother Sunwind, come over and help! ”

"Two immortals, spare your life! We're just two deserters from the Sea Dead King, we're elves, sea elves! ”

"Elves?" Hearing the two crabs speak, the remnant almost let go.

The two crabs in the net have somehow turned into two big living people! Both of them were dressed in shiny leather coats as brown as kelp, and their eyes were even wearing sunglasses, which looked very strange; But the hellish net of the remnants had apparently worked on both of them, as they had been trembling incessantly.

"The two of us brothers used to live in the distant Sea Immortal Island-Turtle Hidden Island-, and our lives are peaceful, and in our free time, we will cultivate diligently, so that one day we can go to the Elven Holy Land, the City of Sea Elves!"

"The City of Sea Elves?" After hearing this, the remnant spirit looked at Xifeng beside him in surprise, "Brother Xifeng, have you heard of it?" I've only heard of the Elven City! ”

"Two immortals, you're talking about the city of land elves, that's the final destination of land elves! Immortals, let us go, we swear in the honor of elves, we are willing to serve you forever, to be your servants! ”

The remnant looked at Sunsetwind, and Sunset nodded. Then, the hell refining net disappeared in an instant as if it had vanished.

"Let's get up, we don't want to embarrass you, let's talk about it, who is this Sea Dead King? How did you get controlled by him? Sunset asked.

After speaking, the two crabs, who had already turned into human shapes, sat on a stone under a crooked-necked willow tree by the river with Xifeng and the remnant spirit, and chatted.

"My name is Xie Hua," a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, sharp eyes, bronzed skin, and a full beard, introduced himself, and pointed to another person next to him, "This is my brother Xie Li." ”

The other was noticeably young and had a cleanly shaved beard, and even a faint glow reflected on his chin.

"Hey! It seems that this continent is about to experience an unprecedented catastrophe! The elder brother sighed and said, "The recent Sea Death King has suddenly expanded his strength, and the entire voyage is his shadow!" What's even worse is that the Sea Death King actually bought the two princes of this country! ”

"Lord Wang?" Sunset said in surprise, but he first ruled out the Lion King, "Which two princes?" ”

"The Tiger King and the Snake King!"

The Tiger King was in turmoil, and Sunset Wind already knew about it, but Sunset Wind didn't expect the snake king's rebellion; It is estimated that even the imperial court may not know. The Snake King ruled Haifu City, which was the node of the Maritime Silk Road to the south; There was an abundance of fish, and the Serpent King worked hard to run a merchant fleet and amassed a great deal of wealth. If the Snake King really joins forces with the Sea Death King, then the entire southeast coast will be controlled by them! No wonder even the sea city is under siege! Without the loss of this Maritime Silk Road, the city lost most of its financial resources.

"Well, it's all because we didn't recognize the true face of the Sea Dead King, and listened to his rhetoric. He promised that as long as he followed him, he would enter the city of sea spirits! Our hometown is the famous Crab Spirit Island, which is at the node of the Silk Road leading to the Far Western Regions, and we know the Black Mist Country, which is a country with many savages, located in the southwest border of the Crystal Country, a small country directly west of the Yulan Country......"

"Shhhh Sunset hurriedly reminded softly, "Okay, let's go on, friend!" ”

Hearing the word 'friend', Xie Hua and Xie Li's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance.

"The three islands of Crab Spirit are in the vast sea directly west of the Black Fog Country, and many merchant ships that take the Maritime Silk Road will carry out some supplies there. In recent years, the Dead King's pirate power has continued to expand. Due to its extremely favorable geographical location, the three islands of Crab Spirit were invaded by the Sea Dead King and quickly controlled, so the Crab Spirit Three Islands soon became an important pirate base camp for the Sea Dead King. This is a bitter pain for the original inhabitants of our islands. Many of our crab spirits were forced to become mercenaries of the Sea Dead King, but there were also many lackeys of the crab spirits, who were tempted by the Sea Death King, to become his minions - because the Sea Soul King promised: You can enter the Sea Spirit City without cultivating! ”

"The City of Sea Spirits? What kind of place would that be? "The evening breeze suddenly had an urge to go and see!
