Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Peacock Crisis at Sunset
"It's great that you're okay!" Feng Qi, who was waiting at the camp by the river, finally relieved his heart when he saw Xiyue returning safely. Xiyue, who wrote www.biquge.info fun and pavilion, told Feng Qiting in detail about her experience, and specially introduced Shangguan Tong'er.
"Hehe, getting together is fate! Our Xijia Village has always been mutual respect and love, and anyone who comes to the village is a family! Feng Qi thought that the setting moon could bring the descendants of Capricorn, one of the twelve constellations of the year, and of course he was happy in his heart! He certainly knows how powerful Capricorn is.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Feng, I ...... just now"
"Well, you're trying to protect yourself, too, but your illusions are amazing! We always thought we had crossed the bridge and reached Snake Mountain! Hehe, that illusion you gave us is just like the real thing! β
During the time that Xiyue had subdued Shangguan Tong'er, Feng Qi and the people of Xijia Village had been motionless in the camp, and they had actually fallen into Shangguan Tong'er's illusion.
Shangguan Tong'er had already put on a green satin children's dress, and this children's dress was found by Feng Qi or Ding Xiaoyu from his daughter Cheng Susu's package, and it just fit. After helping Shangguan Tong'er find clothes, Ding Xiaoyu hurriedly helped find a place where Shangguan Tong'er could rest, and Ding Xiaoyu was indescribably happy about Shangguan Tong'er's arrival!
"I'll take care of your crossing of the river!" Shangguan Tong'er said with an apologetic face, "I'll come when I go!" β
"This ......" Feng Qi looked at the setting moon beside him.
"Don't worry, I'll go with her!" After Xiyue finished speaking, she followed Shangguan Tong'er and left.
Before dark, Xiyue led Shangguan Tong'er back. The two directly found Feng Qi.
"Tomorrow you can cross the river!"
After hearing this, Feng Qi looked at Xiyue in disbelief, but Xiyue smiled and nodded.
"Really? So fast! How's it going? β
"Hehe, you'll be surprised when the time comes, uncle! But don't go to the river to peek! Xiyue interjected, and then led Shangguan Tong'er to giggle away, leaving only Feng Qi, who was puzzled, standing in place......
The next day, before dawn, Feng Qi ran to the river. He was stunned by the sight of a three-foot-wide dam of tree branches that could filter the water, majestically stretching across both banks.
Feng Qi tried to walk back and forth on this "green dam" a few times, but it was safe!
"This is too godly," Feng Qi sighed! You know, there are no trees in a radius of miles on both sides of the river, just some reeds and aquatic plants! So how did this branch come to be?
"Yes, illusion! It must have been Shangguan Tong'er who hallucinated something and helped build this passable dam bridge! Feng Qi speculated.
Feng Qi began to realize that the arrival of Shangguan Tong'er might be able to change the current embarrassment of Xijia Village, of course, this is all due to Xiyue! Thinking of this, Feng Qi felt sincerely happy in his heart! Thinking of Xiyue, Ding Xiaoyu and Shangguan Tong'er, and thinking of the sunset wind that was still far away, Feng Qi felt that the future of Xijia Village might depend on these children.
β¦β¦
Feng Qi led everyone through the river smoothly. After passing through a meadow on the banks of the river that had begun to turn green, and over a few low hills overgrown with heather trees, at noon when the sun was shining, everyone finally saw the winding snake mountain in the west. And Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu accompanied Shangguan Tong'er to continue to strengthen the Shuzhiba Bridge, so that the horse convoy behind could cross the river smoothly.
A wide official road stretches north and south along the edge of Snake Mountain, and the road is covered with withered yellow grass, this road was once the most prosperous trade route in the Crystal Country on the Silk Road. The road leads to Crystal City in the north, a short distance to the south, and then west through the canyon of Snake Mountain, and you will enter the only way to the Western Regions - Shuangho Mountain and the bottom of the swamp valley. This road is the main artery related to the rise and fall of the Crystal Kingdom, but with the **** of the Western Regions and the Far Western Regions, this road has gradually been abandoned. Only very powerful caravans were able to return from the Far West once in a while, but once they brought the goods back, it meant a great fortune!
Feng Qi led several guards to carefully climb to the highest part of the hill, and let the villagers temporarily camp and rest by a stream behind the hill. This trip to Snake Mountain was carried out in secret, and it is best not to risk being discovered during the day by crossing this road. Feng Qi, who was lurking in the bushes of the small hills, really found three heralds with five order flags on their backs galloping towards the north, it was the highest-level letter messenger of the imperial court, it seemed that the imperial court was going to have a big event again!
Unconsciously it was already dark, Feng Qi began to count the number of people, Xiyue, Ding Xiaoyu and Shangguan Tong'er rushed back before dark, so there were a lot of people.
"Hope all the best tonight!" Feng Qi, who returned to the camp, prayed incessantly. And Yuzuki also hopes to be able to reach the temporary shelter in Snake Mountain as soon as possible, at least to get a good night's sleep. Ever since entering the Swamp of Death, Yuzuki has been in a state of tension. Whenever I lie down in the tent at night, I always think of my biological mother who I have never met.
"But what does Mother look like?" Yuzuki always asks herself this.
In Xiyue's mind, the goddess of creation is sometimes like the statue of the fairy girl in the fairy temple, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes; Sometimes like Ding Xiaoyu's mother, she is heroic; But the most are still like Pan Yu.
Granny Si Ran was very surprised to see Shangguan Tong'er, because the twelve stars were thunderous even in the Far Western Regions. In the Far West, Capricorn is even the protector of many towns. Si Ran was still a little vigilant at first, but when she saw Xiyue, Ding Xiaoyu, and Shangguan Tong'er laughing and laughing all day long, she gradually relaxed her heart. And Shangguan Tong'er has an unusual illusion, which may be of great benefit to this operation. So Si Ran decided to let Shangguan Tong'er stay by her side, and the earth team she led added another member.
That night, the wind was clear and quiet, and the moon was in the sky, so for the sake of safety, Feng Qi decided to let the villagers cross the road in batches, which looked like a white belt under the moonlight.
But when the first batch of about ten villagers, led by Dr. Shanping, the owner of the water system, had just climbed the hills, there was a tremor on the ground like thousands of horses galloping!
"Yamadaira! Come back! Feng Qi knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly asked Shanping to lead the villagers back, and he hurriedly ran up to the hills to watch.
There was the neighing of horses, followed by the screams of panicked soldiers.
"What's going on?" Feng Qi unconsciously became nervous, "Could it be that we have been discovered?" But the other party shouldn't be so flustered. β
Feng Qi looked back at the villagers who were not far from him, they were also silent, looking at Feng Qi in horror.
The panicked voices are getting closer. Screams, shouts, horses' hooves, and the sound of the screeching wind mixed with the suffocating fiasco of defeat reached the ears of the old and young in Xijia Village. Everyone held their breath and listened to the heart-pounding chaos. Several former exorcist masters began to hear some clues.
First of all, Master Fang Yun, the owner of the wood system, said: "Don't you think this wind whistle seems to have been heard somewhere before?" β
"Elemental Wind Demon!" Although the head of the air tunnel in charge of the gold car is a fifty-year-old man, his hearing has not diminished at all, "It seems that there are only a few." β
"You should take a look at which soldiers are fighting against these elemental wind demons, and whose subordinates they are!" "****" Zhao Du suggested, and was already holding his huge cauldron, ready to rush over at any time.
The subsequent approach of the chaotic voices already indicated that the battlefield had extended to the hilly part where they were. Feng Qi could even see the faces of those chaotic soldiers clearly.
"It's a subordinate of the Peacock King!" A guard who had been to Peacock Villas shouted, and a broken banner with a peacock painted on it in the distance was still standing in the chaos. The wind and sand in the sky are the fury of the elemental wind demons; It can smoke the bloody smell of the dead, it is a feast for zombies. Only the peacock flag fluttering in the wind became the only hope on the battlefield.
"The soldiers of the Peacock King are really strong, after all, they are the old subordinates of the Lion King, and their blood is still the same!" Feng Qi sighed, "But fighting a soulless murderer with flesh and blood can only be like an egg hitting a stone!" β
"Five car owners, veterans! It's our turn! Feng Qi stood directly at the highest point of the hill, as arrogant as a white marble statue under the bleak moonlight, "No one else is allowed to come up, this is an order!" β
"I'm coming! Ha ha! β
"Cut, Zhao Du, you ran in front of me again!" Feng Qi shouted dissatisfied.
The five car owners, except for Si Ran and Master Fang Yun, couldn't wait to follow Zhao Du over the hills, Master Fang Yun took out something like a branch from his arms and handed it to his three apprentices, and after a few words, he also followed Yue on the road.
Seeing the four car owners and Feng Qi rushing over like arrows, Si Ran smiled slightly and said, "These four old guys have long been suffocated!" After speaking, he handed over a backpack behind himβa backpack that Si Ran had never left with himβto Xiyue.
"Keep it for me, I'll come when I go! If something hits you, throw the contents of your bag at him! β
"It's okay, I can use illusion to trap the thing that attacked us!" Shangguan Tong'er said confidently.
"Don't be careless, your illusion is effective against humans, elves, and other thinking things, but it doesn't work against zombies, elemental demons, and other thoughtless things, so be careful! I have some things in this package that can deal with zombies, but it can only deal with it for a while, and if it really doesn't work, run immediately, you know? Although the three of you are young, among the remaining people, the three of you have the greatest ability, and you must protect the villagers! β
The three girls nodded at the same time. The remaining villagers are either apprentices just received by several car owners, or family members of the exorcists in Xijia Village, and they basically don't know any spells. Among them, the two apprentices of the water system owner, Shan Yu and Shan Xue, the two apprentices of the great doctor Shan Ping, only know a little about medical skills; The three apprentices of Master Fang Yun, the owner of the wood system, Yun Cai, Yun Duo, and Feng Qi's adopted daughter Cheng Susu had only learned a few spells to control small plants, such as plants like man-eating flowers, which they were not able to control; The two apprentices of the gold car owner riding the wind duct can only tinker with some metal weapons; As for the fire car owner"****: Zhao Du's three apprentices can only make fires and cook, of course, use spells to make fires and light firewood, which is still very practical in the wild, at least there is no need to carry fire sickles and flints! If the villager wanted to smoke a bag of cigarettes, he only had to tell the three brothers to cast a spell. The remaining villagers are the families of those exorcists who went north with the sunset dragon. Xiyue knows that their mission is to protect the safety of these families, even if they lose their own lives!
Although Xiyue and Ding Xiaoyu are still young, they represent the future of Xijia Village.
"****" Zhao Du took the lead in going straight to the battlefield with two woks in his hands. Under the light of the moon, on the periphery of the battlefield, there were three elemental wind demons like three huge black spinning tops raging in the crowd of the Peacock King, and everywhere they passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere. The Peacock King's soldiers suffered heavy casualties. These three elemental wind demons were clearly driving away the crowd.
"Demons! Death! Zhao Du let out a loud sigh, and the two woks flew towards the two wind demons like a whirlwind. The wok's speed of rotation and friction with the air formed a halo of fire, as if it had eyes, and flew accurately towards the target.
As for the Elemental Wind Demon, Zhao Du had already seen it when he went to Huoyun Country to participate in the Chef Competition two years ago. Huoyun Country is in the southwest of Yulan Country, and you must pass through Yulan Country to go to Huoyun Country; And the Yulan Kingdom has long been the world of the Elemental Wind Demon, but for Zhao Du, entering the Yulan Country is like entering a no-man's land. The Yulan Kingdom has long been a matter of things, and almost all the people in the Yulan Country have left there. What made Zhao Du strange was that there were not many elemental wind demons, and the magicians who summoned the elemental wind demons at the same time never showed up, and there was nothing to embarrass him all the way back and forth.
But this time was different, it was difficult for the Elemental Wind Demon to cross the mountains and jungles controlled by the Peacock King. Then the appearance of the Elemental Wind Demon Land this time means that the summoner of the Elemental Wind Demon is not far away. So Zhao Du decided to really compete with the Elemental Wind Demon Summoner.
Feng Qi behind Zhao Du was calm, he did not rush up directly, but first observed the surrounding situation. The entire battlefield was in chaos, and in the bleak moonlight, the huge banner caught Feng Qi's attention.
Feng Qi estimated that there might be important people under that banner, so he signaled to the Wind Riding Dao Commander and Master Shanping behind him to rush in the direction of the banner. Master Fang Yun and Si Ran Witch waited on the hills to prevent the enemy from crossing the hills to protect the people of Xijia Village.
Under the banner, the sand was thick and the fog was rising, and it was two elemental wind demons wreaking havoc at the same time. Feng Qi noticed that the two elemental wind demons had never been able to get very close to the peacock banner shrouded in mist, as if there was a force preventing the elemental wind demons from approaching. Although it seemed that the two elemental wind demons were indeed trying to get closer to the banner, the shrill wind whistle almost pierced one's eardrums.
"Water Elemental Spell Enchantment! There are monks there! "Master Yamapei, who is also an enlightened monk, can see at a glance that the mist around the banner is the characteristic of the water elemental spell. Buddhism is thriving in Peacock City, and it is not surprising that there are high-ranking monks who have attained enlightenment, but there are not many high-ranking monks who can use the water element spell in such a magical way.
"Could it be that he is also out of the mountain?" Dr. Sandaira said in surprise.
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Qi hurriedly bent down and put his ear to the ground.
"Be careful underneath!"
"Huh! I'll do this! It was the head of the gold car who spoke, "Hell Refining Fire Needle!" β
After the wind chief finished saying this, Feng Qi had not straightened his waist. Feng Qi heard a scream underground. The Wind Ride Chief's technique was too fast, and Feng Qi only saw the Wind Ride Path Leader take out a bundle of shiny things from the bag behind his back. This bundle of things is one of the unique secret weapons of the Wind Riding Tunnel - the Hell Refining Fire Needle.
As the screams ended, Feng Qi and the others unexpectedly found that the elemental wind demon had also disappeared!
"Cut! It turns out that the summoner of the Elemental Wind Demon is hiding underground! Dr. Sanpei said in annoyance, "I haven't done it yet!" β
"Hehe, don't worry! There are so many zombies! β
"The zombie is mine!" The **** Zhao Du in the distance has just killed the two elemental wind demons, and he doesn't feel like it's fun!
"Then, let's go together!" This time, Feng Qi rushed directly towards the zombies near the banner before he finished speaking.
The most important thing to deal with zombies is not to let them bite. People who don't have a blue heart are called "living zombies". Since the Blue Hearts can continue to sustain them after they are pouged up, this "living zombie" also has the same flexibility as a living person. It's not that easy to deal with. But these zombies have obviously been transformed, with rough skin and thick flesh, and armor like fish scales on the outside, which is not easy to penetrate even the Hell Refining Needle with a long wind channel.
"No wonder, the master's water elemental magic under the banner can't restrain these zombies! These zombies actually have some of the characteristics of water creatures! Master Sanhira was surprised and said, "Who could have transformed these zombies?" β
Feng Qi shook his head, he was also thinking. But at this time, this coke is bad **** Zhao Du, these zombies can't restrain fire magic! So **** Zhao is addicted! His two wok flicked up and down, and the zombies quickly turned into char one by one. The steam formed by the zombie carbonization enveloped the entire area around the flag.
Gradually, the fog around the flag began to dissipate. Under the banner, several figures appeared.
"In the Lower Peacock City, the city lord Kong Runsheng, thank you for saving your life!"
Feng Qi was surprised, he never thought that under the banner was the Peacock King!
