Chapter 268: Eight-sided scuffle
At the foot of the mountain is a gravel beach. It is inaccessible and has few resources, and there are few living creatures other than insects and mice, and large creatures are rare here. Among the weeds growing among the rocks, a few mountain gazelles are feeding. The weather is sunny and sunny, and there are no predators watching around the corner, and the mountain antelopes eat very safely.
A young mountain antelope is also very vigilant because it occupies a small patch of grass alone and is far away from the group. Suddenly, its ears moved, and the gazelle raised its head. The same people not far away are still grazing, and the surroundings are peaceful and calm, and there is no crisis approaching. It seems to have just blown a gust of wind. The gazelle lowered its head and continued its unfinished feeding.
These creatures in nature are the most ordinary creatures, and naturally they don't know what they have just passed by. The wind that suddenly blew was actually a fast-moving team of men and horses.
This is a team of about 100 people, in the wilderness, in the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, with a speed that ordinary people's naked eyes can't even catch a shadow. This is a barren beach in the northern part of the Qilian Mountains. It is a desolate area with sparse vegetation and gravel, the largest of which is hundreds of meters high, and even the most tenacious weeds cannot take root.
The craggy rocks are very tricky for ordinary people, but this team of 100 people is as flat as the ground. They had come from the southeast, plunging headlong into the barren mountains and mountains without stopping, apparently with a clear purpose.
For two days they had been on the road, day and night, but not a single member of the team showed signs of fatigue, and they were standing on a huge high rock that was continuous.
"Out of here is the territory of Zhongshan, and further along, you may encounter a small number of border guards. We must all restrain ourselves, we must quietly go straight to the national capital, understand!"
The leader stood on the top of the boulder and looked at the official road that was already faintly visible in the distance, and said in a low voice, which received a uniform response from everyone in the team. If Bi Lingxiao was here, he would find that there would be many familiar faces among these people, because this hundred-person team was the disciple of Zi'an who had stripped off the sacrificial array at the beginning.
Having determined their position, the team did not intend to stop and recuperate, but continued to move forward. As the task of the national teacher's own generation, the sooner you complete it, the better. They were all the most core members of the sacrificial array project, so they naturally knew how grand Zi'an's plan was. It has been operating latent for decades, in order to show its ambitions and set foot in the world one day. On the day when Dongtu conquers the whole human world, they will be the most important contributors to this magnificent feat!
The incomparable glory and honor are just around the corner, and these people are all gearing up, and they have not yet entered the interior of Zhongshan, and they have even planned in their hearts how to snatch the heads of more rulers of various countries in the hands of their companions, so as to obtain greater merits. The dream was good, and a sudden appearance reminded them that it was still daytime.
Just as the hundred-man team was marching again, several figures suddenly appeared from behind the boulders on both sides. The number of these people was comparable to or even much more than the squad, and they were full of people blocking the front of the road, blocking the footsteps of the hundred-man squad.
"Distinguished guests, why don't you say hello when you come from afar to visit Zhongshan, so that we can be prepared for life hospitality!"
Shi Shiran, a middle-aged man who walked slowly out from behind the broken stone, walked up, squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Dongtu's sneaky style is as good as ever, and I'm not surprised to see it. An old man in the crowd snorted.
"It's not too late, it's not too late for us to entertain. Another woman said in a flat voice.
The hundred-person team sank in their hearts when they saw the sudden appearance of the roadblockers, and when they could see the other party's level clearly, their hearts became more and more solemn. Among them, the gaze of the man who had just given orders on the boulder swept over the people in front of him, and finally stopped at the woman who was the last to speak.
"Mu Jinghua, you really intervened. ”
"It's a matter of the safety of the world, and as a human emperor, I naturally have the obligation to stop it. ”
"Is the world safe? I am not a beast of the wilderness, can I still eat the people of this world?" the man narrowed his eyes.
"The beasts of the desolation only eat flesh and drink blood, and the dark envoys devour souls. The empress's eyes outside the veil were calm, and she took a step forward, an ordinary small step, but it exuded incomparable majesty. "There may be a day when the human world will complete the unification, but it will definitely not be Dongtu who has obtained this mission. ”
The empress can be said to be known to mankind, and the most powerful of the masters who walk the world, and the coercion she releases, even Zi Butian and Dugu Ethereal, who are also kings, will probably be shocked. However, the leader of the hundred-person squad turned a blind eye to the shock of the king of the first realm, and he didn't even weaken in momentum.
"It doesn't seem like there's much to say. The man's figure didn't move, but a thick and dark aura emanated for a moment. "The Empress of Hard Work has become the first stepping stone for my great cause of the Eastern Land!"
The antelopes who were feeding were all startled by a loud noise from the sky and fled in all directions, and in the next second, the boulder that looked like a small mountain instantly turned into powder.
In the northern part of the Qilian Mountains, Mu Jinghua's team, which encountered the Dongtu infiltration team, immediately took action, and a big battle was about to break out. At the same time, the right flank of the coalition forces was under heavy attack from the Eastern Turkish army.
The troops on both sides are composed of elite soldiers, and the Dongtu side is even more self-cultivated, coupled with the rapid momentum, the coalition forces even fell into disadvantage for a while. If it weren't for the fact that he had already known about the actions of the Dongtu side before the battle, coupled with the timely response and stop loss of the commander-in-chief, the enemy's offensive could have been stopped. Otherwise, this will bring together the elite of the alliance army of various countries, and almost suffer a big defeat in the first war!
Just when the battle was raging and all the armies were in a stalemate, the two-person detachment that had penetrated deep into the enemy's interior was still looking around in a circle.
The only sound of the water running through the silent space was the sound of the water running away, and the two of them had been walking in the belly of this monster for an unknown amount of time. In the pitch-black space, only the demon fire in the hand of the purple pine forest illuminates one side of the space, and the far front and surroundings are still pitch black, except for the scattered stones around him, but he is not up to his waist, and he can't see what color of water he can't see. There were no other sounds, no living objects, not even the corpses of soldiers.
"It seems that this thing has absorbed all the living things that have eaten it. Patting an extraordinarily huge stone beside him, Bi Lingxiao jumped up and sat on it.
"It shouldn't just be living creatures, it is estimated that if something with energy is swallowed in, it will turn into a part of this monster. Purple Pine Forest lowered his head and kicked the water. "It's just strange, why are the two of us still walking around?"
Although the puppet has no soul, it is also considered a dead person, and it makes no sense that the corpses of the soldiers are absorbed, but the puppets that are also refined by human beings are unscathed.
Isn't it possible to absorb the physical body of the strength above the return to the element?
The idea appeared for a second, and it was rejected. This thing even the regained body of Augustus was effortlessly eaten in one bite, how could it not deal with two soulless puppets.
"Since this thing is produced by sacrificing souls, maybe it will only absorb things that have souls. ”
Augustus regained his flesh as a whole man, so he touched the altar and was devoured. Whether the soldiers lived or died, their souls had not yet dissipated before they were swallowed, so they were absorbed, and they probably became part of the army of human heads in the skin and mouth of the monster. As for the two of them, because they were only manipulating a temporary body without a soul, they were treated as something as non-nutritious as stone, and it was understandable that they were not absorbed.
Maybe there could be other reasons, but in their current situation, it's useless to have to get to the root of a problem that doesn't matter at all. Purple Pine Lin also didn't care much about the answer to this question, and twisted his neck when he ended kicking the water.
"What's next, continue the diving game, or just get out?"
They had been walking here for a long time, not to mention the core of the soul beast, and they had never even seen anything similar to an organ. Except for the water, it is dark, and it is really a constant scenery. What's more, how far can two people and four eyes see?
"I knew that I should have fused a Yuan Soul like you, so that I could manipulate the water element to probe farther. Bi Lingxiao shook his head and sighed.
Before entering the soul beast, they were fully prepared, and they dared to go out only after ensuring that all aspects were foolproof, but they didn't expect to miss the calculation. This is actually no wonder of them, what kind of creature the soul beast is, it is estimated that even Zi'an itself can't tell, who would have thought that this thing would be a huge and boundless space in its body!
"The coalition forces are still holding on, and they should not give up the method of destroying the core until the end. ”
The demon spirit is following Zi'an's side, and if they don't find the core by the time the coalition forces can't support it, then let the demon spirit destroy the cane or kill Zi'an, there is still a way back. I just hope that this back road is not a dead end.
Boom. The ground in front of him exploded, and Bei Muyang was blown away by the oncoming dust and sand, and quickly hid behind a boulder gap under the cover of dust and smoke. As soon as I got inside, I turned around and saw an unusually familiar face.
"It's such a coincidence that Sect Master Hu was also driven here?"
Bei Muyang wiped his face and teased the old man inside with a smile. Hulin was no better now, his snow-white beard was covered with sand, his well-trimmed beard was uneven, his robe was torn in several places, and his belt was gone. Feeling that someone came in and was putting on a vigilant posture, he looked at it and saw that it was the North Sect Master, so he was relieved, and when he heard the other party's teasing, he had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
"I didn't expect that Dongtu really has a hundred such cutting-edge masters, it's really careless, I really shouldn't believe the news from Sect Master Bi!"
The squad sent by Zi'an aimed at sneaking up on the headquarters of the coalition forces, none of them were general, the lowest level was also at the 10th order, and there were even dozens of peerless masters above the 11th order! This kind of legendary-level master who could make any realm shake with a random stampe, there were so many in the Eastern Soil Country, and this was a barely comparable number to the elites of the human realm when they gathered together!
Although Bei Muyang and Hu Lin are the sect masters of the seven largest sects in the human world, and they are both well-known powerhouses in their respective fields, they are completely incomparable to the masters of the level of the kings of the three realms! As soon as the war broke out, the top powerhouses from various countries led by the empress Mu Jinghua were evenly matched with the Dongtu people, but there were also many members of the team like Bei Muyang and Hu Lin, and they were killed. In the face of the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment, it has gone all out to avoid being injured, let alone carrying out an effective counteroffensive.
Bang bang bang. The sound of explosions was incessant, and through the heavy stone walls, the huge sound shook the eardrum and seemed to be about to crack.
"In the past, I always saw that the sect master Bi crossed the level to kill people and play, and accidentally thought that he also had such a ability, thinking too much!
Covering his ears, Bei Muyang shouted at the people around him. Hu Lin shrank his head and gave a look through his drooping eyelids.
"You're compared to a monster?"
As soon as the words fell, the boulder they were leaning on suddenly exploded, and the two immediately fled, rolling on the ground several times before stopping, with the help of the friendship of the shockwave.
"Ahem, phew, hahaha! You're right, it's a monster!" Bei Muyang spat out the blood foam in his mouth and laughed as he got up. "I don't know how the monsters on our side are going to deal with the monsters of the East Earth, I really hope to see it!"
"If you want to see it, you have to keep your life too!"
Hu Lin trembled and propped himself up. He is old, his body is no longer as strong as when he was young, and he has suffered a lot of injuries before, after this impact, he only feels that the qi and blood in his body are surging, his eyes are dizzy, and it is difficult to stand up. Seeing his equally embarrassed counterpart in his blurred vision, he smiled dryly.
"Sect Master North, it seems that the two of us may be going to sleep here for a long time!"
"Yes, our time has passed!" Bei Muyang gasped and sat up. "It's a pity that I can't see the scene of young people taking over this world!"
In the gray curtain in front of them, two people slowly walked out of the smoke and dust. It was two members of the Dongtu team, one was a 10th-order advanced and the other was an 11th-order junior, and both of them had a light in their hands. "Two sect masters, let's go!" the two sneered, and the attack in their hands was instantly released.
Bei Muyang could barely see the appearance of the enemy. His strength was exhausted, his injuries were severe, and his enemy attacks turned into shining points of light. In the midst of those rays of light, he seemed to see a shadow descend from the sky, and at the same time a voice that was not loud but very clear entered his eardrums.
"He Yingsheng, I came to help on the orders of the sect master!"
