Chapter 33: The Burning River
Lifting his breath and running wildly all the way, he swept out more than ten miles, and Jiu Yan really appeared in front, but this guy was in a very bad situation, facing it alone, and more than a dozen people besieged him.
Judging by the aura fluctuations ahead, these dozen or so people are all witch cultivators.
More than fifty paces apart, the three of them raised their crossbows in unison, came up with a salvo, and put down the three of them.
At the same time, several other barbarian Shangwu noticed a few people, and without hesitation, they immediately turned into bears and turned around to kill.
Meng Yun immediately threw away his bow and crossbow, raised his hand and drew out the Ice Xuan Sword, "Cover me!"
Jiu Yan also saw them at this time, and after shaking back the enemy with his horizontal sword, he turned to the woods on the side of the road and shouted, "No need to hide! General Yun, they are here, kill all the barbarians!"
At this moment, another fire subordinate Shangwu also jumped out, and immediately joined the battle group without saying anything.
Wu Hei and Gou gave up the bow and crossbow, the mantra that should be recited, and the finger pinched that should be pinched.
The ground soil layer is stirring, as if it is alive, forming a whirlpool of sediment, and the woods next to the road, the roots of the wood grow rapidly, breaking through the ground and winding towards the rushing bear.
In the process of rushing forward, Meng Yun urged the sea of qi with all his might, and his body was instantly covered by cold light.
The temperature around the whole person dropped suddenly, and almost every step he took left a footprint of ice.
Several bears tried to cull head-on, but they were bound by the mud and sand and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Meng Yun raised his hand and swung out two sword qis.
The two bears in front of him couldn't dodge and were killed on the spot, while the other bears broke free and continued to pounce on him with their teeth and claws.
After being promoted to the witch, he would take time to practice his sword qi every day, but the objects of the application were all dead things, and he could feel that the sword qi was more powerful than the ice pick technique, but he couldn't judge the specific gap, and this time it was more obvious.
In the last siege battle, the Shangwu on the county side used the icicle technique, although it could break the Xiong Pi defense, but it could not reach the point of killing with one blow, and on the county side, only Ji could suppress them, and he could barely do it now.
Just as he stepped forward to fight Xiong Pi in close quarters, Wu Hei and Gou cooperated with him remotely, and Xiong Pi would tripped over the roots of the broken tree as soon as he got rid of the sand vortex.
The three of them cooperated with each other, and they were stunned to play the momentum of a group, and he chased a few bears by himself.
Gu Yan and another fire witch, seeing that he was in the lead and fighting extremely bravely, so they no longer spared their physical strength, and they both used their strength to urge the aura with all their might, and together with him, they attacked a few bears.
"Roar—"
The two bears got up and shook their heads, and swept their eyes unkindly to the two witches and blacks who were not far away, stumbling one after another, but immediately after, they were cut off by him.
Seven of the twelve bears were removed, and the remaining five had no ability to turn over, and within half an hour, they were arranged to understand.
After killing a few barbarian witches, the corpses were dragged to the forest and buried, and the black witches turned the road with rustic air to cover the traces of the battle.
Gou Shi used techniques to heal Jiu Yan from several injuries, and Meng Yun raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, "What about the Wuqu people?"
"Right now," the other fire witch turned his head to point to a tree ten paces away to the south, but then he was completely dumbfounded, and there was no one under the tree, "Uh, it was still there." ”
The faces of the other people are not very good-looking, and it took so many twists and turns before and after, if they can still let people run away, they can't say anything about it.
"This guy is an ordinary person, he can't run fast," Meng Yun quickly calmed down, "Jiu Yan went north along the main road, and the others went into the mountains to look for ten miles north, and if they couldn't find it, they would come back, and no one could go beyond ten miles." ”
......
It's true that Wuqu is a fat man, but he is not a fool, the battle situation is not good, and the first thing that comes to mind is to directly withdraw from the soles of his feet to apply oil.
Several other people can panic, but as the main general, he must not panic, even if he lets Wuqu really run away, he can't show the slightest panic.
Meng Yun thought about a question in his heart, if the two sides swapped places, which direction would he run.
The first choice must be to run north, your own camp is in this direction, but you can think of the other party can also think of it, and smart people will not choose this.
The second choice is to go east or west, but to the east is barren mountains and old forests, infested with wild beasts, it is easy to enter and it is difficult to survive, so in this way, it is ideal to go west.
Just as he had made up his mind, there was movement in the forest on the west side, as if it was the sound of a horse beating its nose.
Meng Yun raised his hand to hold the Ice Xuan Sword, and at the same time said in a deep voice, "Who?"
"It's me," Ji's voice came.
Meng Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and raised his feet and stepped onto the road, "Why are you here now?"
While speaking, Ji had already led the horse across the road and walked towards him, as if there was a person tied to the horse's back.
Take a closer look, who is it not Wuqu.
"I went back halfway and led the horse back," Ji said again.
"Damn, you're really a talent," Meng Yun finished speaking and looked at Wuqu on horseback, this guy was too unlucky, he ran into Ji before he could look for it, "How do you know he's the person we're looking for?"
Ji did not participate in the arrest, and it is said that he should not know Wuqu's identity, just as he didn't know before, and the captive named Mutu had never seen Wuqu himself.
"When I met this person, he didn't wait for me to ask, he had already told everything in a hurry," Ji said lightly.
“......”
The sky was getting brighter, and after Jiu Yan and the others came back, the five of them abandoned their horses and swept all the way south, and this time they didn't take the main road, but went straight straight and crossed the mountains.
After abandoning the horses, the speed of everyone's actions did not decrease but increased, and Ji carried the Wuqu with one hand, and his pace could still easily be consistent with everyone, which was one of the benefits of cultivating to be strong.
If you look down from a high altitude, between the barren mountains and mountains, several streamers are flying south.
Flying for a long time, the spiritual energy consumption is very large, at this consumption rate, before returning to Blackwater City, a few people will die of exhaustion, Ji Xiuwei can still hold on, but several other people, including him, cannot.
At noon, several people stopped to rest for two hours.
Ji Cai consumed two percent of the aura, but except for Ji himself, everyone's aura was only about thirty percent, and it definitely couldn't be recovered after it was exhausted.
At this time, there were still more than a hundred miles away from Blackwater City, and in order to prevent unintended branches, two hours later, everyone continued on the road, but this time the speed slowed down.
......
At about seven or eight o'clock in the evening, on a hill on the north bank of the Heishui River.
A few people looked to the south in a daze, and the entire Heishui River was full of firelight, stretching for miles from east to west.
"Why did the barbarians run ahead?" said Jiu Yan in amazement.
"No, these people are not from Que Ji," Meng Yun said, raising his hand.
"Oh, not the barbarians of Que Ji?" Gou was puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken, these wolf soldiers are from Changlin County," Meng Yun said again.
"Changlin County, why do they know about our whereabouts?" asked Ji Chuyan.
"The barbarians of Que Ji didn't have time to inform them, did they?" said Jiu Yan, who frowned.
"I think it's the barbarians who are attacking the city again," Wu Hei is an honest man.
"It's too late to hum, and it's hard to say about Blackwater City," Meng Yun said with a sneer.
Yu Shu is right, Blackwater City does have a wolf clan internal response, the most important thing is that this person's status is not ordinarily high, he can actually find out the whereabouts of several people, and know that the number of people who act is in the single digits, although he doesn't want to admit it at the moment, but the most suspicious of them are his three lieutenants, all three of whom have personally attended the meeting, followed by people who have the ability or power to coerce a few lieutenants into submission.
The former has a much smaller range, while the latter has a larger range, such as the county guard and wizards.
"Fine?" everyone instantly understood.
Meng Yun snorted coldly and said, "How far is this place from Blackwater City?"
"Less than thirty miles," Ji said.
"That's good," he took out the spirit guide from his bosom and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Er is different from ordinary witches, the turtle master once said that as long as he can reach any place in an instant within a hundred miles, this place is naturally no exception, but he doesn't want to just forget it, he has to give the wolf clan a little memory.
"Why didn't I hear anything?" said Wu Hei, scratching his head.
"Neither do I," Gu Yan agreed.
"Let's go, rush over," Meng Yun said and walked down the mountain.
"Chong?" Jiu Yan and the others looked at each other.
......
Five hundred meters away on the north bank of the Heishui River, several people quietly lurked here.
Two hundred paces ahead, there were wolf cavalry patrolling non-stop, and there were 20,000 people, only a lot more.
Blackwater City is only more than twenty miles away, and the wolf cavalry dares to come here blatantly, and there is no doubt that the soldiers of Blackwater City will not fight, which is related to the fact that he is not in the city as the main general, but in addition, Blackwater City has barbarian internal responses, and the wolf clan decision-makers know the training of soldiers in the city well, and believe that soldiers dare not rush into battle.
"Dozens of witch breaths," Ji said after closing his eyes.
"Why aren't there black-robed wizards?" Meng Yun frowned.
"I didn't feel it," Ji shook his head and said.
"Hidden?" Gou guessed.
"Maybe I don't think I'm qualified enough" Ji has a different opinion.
"Haha, I know, they didn't dare to come for fear of death," he interrupted the discussion of several people, the black wolf clan played very well, at the cost of more than 20,000 wolf riders and more than 20 witches, blockaded the entire north bank of the Heishui River.
On the surface, this move seems to be to intercept a group of people, but secretly it is a temptation, and by the way, it is to give an explanation to the white wolf clan, if the black wolf clan really wants to save Wuqu, they will not come to these witches at all.
The object of this temptation is naturally the black dragon.
After the last siege, he lived with the turtle master on the east mountain, and never showed his body in the city.
Recently, the black dragon in the city was determined by him, and then spread the news, but whether it was true or not, no one knew, including the wolf clan's internal response.
So after getting the news of the internal response, the Black Wolf Clan pushed the boat down the river, and in the name of helping the White Wolf Clan intercept back to Wuqu, sent people to intercept and kill him on the north bank, so as to test the authenticity of the existence of the black dragon.
If the black dragon is indeed in the city, he will definitely not die without help, and the black wolf clan can definitely afford to lose some ordinary soldiers for this, but more importantly, at the cost of this sacrifice, the white wolf clan was appeased by the way.
If the black dragon did not show up to save him, it means that he has been bluffing, and the rumors about the demon clan in the city are undoubtedly false, in this process, the black wolf clan not only has a chance to recapture the black canal, but also hopes to intercept him here.
Even if you can't do it, it doesn't matter, it is estimated that the next day before dawn, the wolf army will come to the city.
"Is it because of Lord Black Dragon?" Gu Yan was the first to understand.
"General Yun, are you sure you want to rush directly?" Gou was still a little worried.
Just as he was talking, there was a commotion from the crowd in front of him, and as several people listened carefully, the wolf clan general was gathering soldiers from all over the place.
"It's too late if you don't rush, we've already been discovered," Meng Yun got up and pulled out the Ice Xuan Sword.
"We are upwind on dog days," Gu Yan scolded in frustration.
"Gu Yan is on the left, Wu Hei is on the right, I'm in front, Wizard Ji will lead people to support in the center, and the other two people will break behind," Meng Yun quickly ordered, and as he gave the order, several people changed positions one after another, and at the same time wound the bow and crossbow.
The bow has a longer range than spells, and it doesn't require spells, so it's stressful to use against ordinary soldiers
Just as everyone was about to rush forward, thousands of black wolf soldiers had already gathered, surrounded and killed with a pincer attack, and more than 20 bears were in the rear.
The shouting of killing on the north bank of the Heishui River rang out.
Meng Yun ordered again and shouted, "Up!"
At the moment when he finished shouting, everyone rushed towards each other, and everyone didn't use their aura to speed up, after all, the distance between the enemy and me is too close, and it is easy to hit the muzzle of the gun when speeding up, which is an act of seeking death!
More than seventy paces apart, a wave of crossbow arrows came up and fired a volley, knocking over several rows of wolf soldiers, but the black wolf was very fast, and before everyone could release the arrows for the second time, the wolf cavalry was close to forty paces away.
"Change spells!"
At the moment when he finished shouting, several people immediately gave up their bows and crossbows and cast their own spells one after another, each of them with different colors of aura and dazzling.
On the scene, the cold light sword qi and scorching fireballs flew wildly, and the ground crack was mixed with wooden thorns to impact out, causing the black wolf cavalry to roll over on their backs, and the momentum of the rush was suspended, but thousands of black wolf soldiers were desperately gathering, and several people were quickly submerged by the sea of people.
Melee combat is on the verge of a touch!
"Prepare for melee combat!" Meng Yun shouted as he shoved the spirit of the spirit into his mouth.
Even if there is an aura protector, but it does not mean that it is invulnerable, frankly speaking, the aura protection is very limited, it can reduce the damage received, but it cannot be completely eliminated, if you encounter fatal injuries, you still have to die.
The bronze knives carried by the others were not able to transmit aura at all, and their tenacity was far behind, and they were abandoned soon after the war began, and the weapons used by everyone at the moment were all condensed by aura.
Wu Hei wielded a yellow stone axe, Gou held a green light wooden sword, and Jiu Yan was a pair of fiery palms...... Everyone was slashing head-to-head with the scimitars and spears of the wolf soldiers, so that the whole surrounding area was full of flying sparks.
During this time, the wolf soldiers gathered more and more, and one group was cut down, and then another group came up.
At this time, everyone was completely mired in the quagmire, and the space around them shrank and shrank, and it was almost difficult to move one more step forward.
The banks of the Blackwater River were a hundred paces away, and there were twenty more witches waiting there.
Everyone was almost at the limit, and when Meng Yun saw this, he immediately made a decision and bit the spiritual guide in his mouth.
At this moment, the figure of the turtle suddenly appeared, the turtle master was really right, within a hundred miles, it was instantaneous!
"Go south and help us get out," Meng Yun immediately shouted loudly.
"Okay," the moment he finished speaking, he saw a ten-zhang long black dragon, rising directly into the sky.
Not only did the wolf clan not react, but also the few people behind him did not react, the two sides were still fighting and slashing, and on the scene, blood flowed like a river and corpses were strewn.
The black dragon roared angrily in the sky, and the sound of the dragon's groan stirred out, traversing all directions.
The people on the ground felt their eardrums crack, and almost at the same time they discarded their weapons and covered their ears instead, but it didn't end there.
The dragon's roar had little effect on the wizards, as the two wizards looked up at the sky, one looking horrified and the other ecstatic.
At this moment, the sky over the battlefield quickly lit up, and at this time it was at least eight o'clock, and the bright light was definitely not the sun rising.
On the ground, the wolf soldiers looked up, and in the next second, everyone felt a sense of revenance, not only people were frightened, but the wolves were trembling.
In the sky above the battlefield, I saw a small "sun" condensing in the mouth of the black dragon, emitting a dazzling light, illuminating the land within a radius of more than ten miles.
The black dragon quickly stopped gathering momentum, and then made a suspicious move, directly opening his mouth and swallowing the ball of light.
On the wolf side, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could be happy for a few seconds, they heard a sonic boom sound, and the night sky above the entire battlefield was lit up again.
The moment the black dragon opened its mouth, it saw a pillar of flame light several zhang wide erupt, straight across the ground, cutting towards the bank of the Heishui River, and those who were touched by the pillar of flame light would immediately turn into ashes, and even a frightened shout would not have time to let out.
"Keep up!" Meng Yun shouted loudly.
Immediately after, everyone immediately reacted and followed him to retreat to the bank of the Heishui River, and the wolf soldiers also reacted and tried their best to intercept a few people.
"Hahaha, kill all the barbarians—"
The black dragon flew in the sky, endless flames splashed down, turning into a rain of fire, the scene was extremely spectacular, on the battlefield, Wu Hei and others were roaring wildly.
The wizard didn't know where to run for a long time, and the black wolf cavalry still fought to the death, showing strong discipline and willpower.
Two minutes later, under the cover of the black dragon, several people finally rushed to the river.
The black wolf cavalry suffered countless casualties, but he still chased everyone to kill, and he finally knew why Beixuan Kingdom had lost ninety percent of its territory to the black wolf clan within a month, this discipline was too terrible.
To put it mildly, the Black Wolf Cavalry, like mad dogs, never care whether the opponent is strong or not, as long as there is no order to retreat, they will always bite and hold on, but what these people don't know is that such sacrifices are meaningless, because they are sent to find the way and are destined to be discarded.
After a few people crossed the Heishui River, countless corpses on the ice were covered in black.
In order to prevent the black wolf cavalry from crossing the river and entanglement, the human form leaned over and reached into the river, overturning the entire frozen river surface, turning it into a floe ice that was broken and poured everywhere, and countless people fell into the river, but that's it, there are still many black wolf cavalry who don't give up and ride the black wolf to jump over the ice floe.
At this moment, Er couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect the other party to be so difficult, and in desperation, he flew up in the air again, condensed a large fireball with a diameter of more than ten zhang, and smashed straight down to the river.
The black oil floating on the surface of the river was ignited almost instantly, and a huge wall of fire extending northeast and southwest exuded a strong and pungent smell......
"Long live the Black Dragon!"
......
