Volume 1: Blazing Killing Machine Chapter 61: Siege of the Wasteland
"Do you know where they went?" asked Nie Junhe, frowning.
The inner attendant hurriedly replied: "According to the Wanhuang guards who came to report, they went to the barren forest outside the princess's mansion. ”
Nie Junhe's face changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, "There again!"
Chen Yunzui and Su Baiyue's eyes sank, and they couldn't help but lift their hearts. Xiao Yuchen heard about the barren forest for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of confusion in his heart.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the barren forest myself!"
"Your Majesty!" Chen Yun said drunkly, "That barren forest is likely to be the lair of the cannibal monster, if you go forward, I'm afraid you will hurt the emperor by mistake!"
Su Baiyue also bowed down and persuaded sincerely: "Your Majesty, just listen to Marquis Chen! With us going, and with the help of Liandu, we will definitely be able to find the princess and the third highness!"
"Let Xiao follow!" Xiao Yuchen arched his hand, he had already appreciated the horror of the man-eating monster, and he understood that his sword could inflict temporary serious injuries on them.
Nie Junhe glanced at Xiao Yuchen meaningfully, his gaze swept over several people one by one, and finally sighed, "So...... Be careful!"
"Your Majesty rest assured. ”
The three of them hurriedly left, and after a while, they rode out of the palace gate.
Walking and walking, Xiao Yuchen was surprised to find that they were on the way to the Princess's Mansion, could it be that the barren forest was next to the Princess's Mansion?
However, why is there a barren forest in an impermeable imperial city?
With all kinds of confusion, several people stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion, which was already surrounded by more Wanhuang guards, which could be called impassable.
Seeing Chen Yunzui and Su Baiyue, the Wanhuang guards at the door hurriedly got out of the way, and bowed slightly at the same time, but there were a few people, and they looked at Xiao Yuchen a few more times, with a strange brilliance in their eyes.
Xiao Yuchen followed the two of them to the plum garden in the south of the princess's mansion, and then, over the wall, when he landed, he saw Lian Tianyun looking at the forest with deep eyes, and countless soldiers in front of him were holding machetes, accompanied by a clicking sound, cutting the trees with knives, and then, with a dull roaring sound, one tree after another fell.
"Even the capital. A few people came forward and called.
"Chen Hou, Su Hou. Xiao Gongzi. Lian Dutong turned his head to look at it, and then turned his gaze back to the barren forest, "This barren forest is full of trees, and there is no chance to use its strengths and kicks, but those monster-like things are very flexible, and the fire is afraid of accidentally hurting my own people, so I am ready to push this entire forest." ”
A few people nodded, Xiao Yuchen looked thoughtful, glanced at the forest illuminated by torches, and said slowly: "So, the big lock of the city gate is because the Third Highness was hijacked?
Lian Tianyun nodded slightly, his face showing bitterness, "In case of unnecessary panic, the news is all blocked, I can't tell Xiao Gongzi before, please don't be surprised." ”
"Even the seniors are polite. Xiao Yuchen shook his head slightly, and continued to observe the forest, as the trees fell, they had been stretched out a hundred meters away, and the sound of rushing water could be faintly heard.
"Is there a river out here?" Xiao Yuchen couldn't help asking.
"It's Red Ayae. Lian Tianyun said, "This barren forest is close to the 300-zhang wide Hongya River, and the water is surging, going south. It is precisely because of this that this barren forest can grow so densely. ”
"No one has found it before?" Xiao Yuchen nodded, he had heard a little about the Red Silk River, and it was rumored that all the rivers in the Tianzhu Country were branches of this river, coming from the northern icebergs and surging through the southern land.
Several people shook their heads, this place is extremely remote, and there is a large plum garden, unless you deliberately look at it, it is difficult to find, even if you find it on weekdays, you may not be able to feel anything abnormal.
A few people slowly moved forward as the trees fell, seeing the last few trees crashing into the snow on the ground, and still nothing was found, everyone's mood couldn't help but sink, and their expressions were unprecedentedly solemn.
"Look carefully, don't take those things for human beings!"
Lian Tianyun gave a sharp order, and while walking forward, he vigilantly patrolled the surroundings.
Xiao Yuchen and the others also began to scatter to look for it, but there were no clues in this place as far as the eye could see.
Xiao Yuchen's eyes paused slightly, and he kicked a tree away with his foot, revealing a person's footprints, the toe prints were clear, it was likely to be the bare cannibal monster, he turned around, his eyes looked in the direction of the footprints, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
That's the direction of the princess's mansion......
"Are they the footprints that were left in the beginning?"
Xiao Yuchen raised his eyes and looked at the sky, the flying snow in the sky fluttered and fell, his pupils shrank, his eyes moved to the princess's mansion, and his mind was wandering.
Obviously, it was the footprints before Lian Tianyun ordered Lin Zi to be pushed away.
"Do you mean...... That thing is still in the princess's mansion......"
Xiao Yuchen's teeth tightened, and he was about to say to Chen Yundrunk who was not far away, but between the lightning and flint, a white shadow broke through the ground ten meters away from him, and the soil mixed with snow splashed in the air!
Everyone was already nervous, and at this time, it was just a moment, and it was completely reflected, Xiao Yuchen knew that his chance of dodging was very small, and he took the lead in slashing out with a sword light!
The white shadow seemed to feel the familiar sword qi, and suddenly his hands suddenly grew sharp and sharp white claws, and in an instant, the sword light was very resisted together!
Whew!
The bright flame was like a rainbow in the night, fleeting, and the white shadow let out a sharp cry, as if it could pierce the eardrum and make people's scalp tingle, and it fell to the ground with a thud, and then immediately stood up again.
Everyone clearly saw this man-eating white monster.
At first glance, the standing posture is no different from ordinary people except for the hunched back. But after careful observation, Xiao Yuchen found something that he didn't notice last time, or rather, it was different from the last time.
The whole body of this white monster was covered with many thick scales, the size of a fingernail, about a few dozen pieces.
Even Tianyun saw this monster for the first time, and when he arrived, Gai Chen had already chased into the barren forest, and then there was no trace of him, and when he saw it, his eyes couldn't help but be deeply shocked, "What the hell is this human...... Or is it something?"
"Roaring ......"
The monster roared, its head spinning around, as if looking for an opportunity.
At this moment, the monster's bloody mouth suddenly opened, and just when everyone thought it was about to make a move, an iron box appeared in its mouth, and it spat it to the ground, sticking to the white water that I don't know if it was saliva or venom.
Then, the monster roared, and the voice suddenly rushed backwards, but he didn't know that Chen Yundrunk had been waiting for a long time all the way, and the Yunliu Sword Song was instantly unleashed, seemingly stretching like a flowing cloud, but the sword intent in it was powerful and monstrous!
Sonorous!
When the fierce sparks bloomed, Chen Yundrunk staggered with the white monster, and the white monster suddenly spat out a mouthful of liquid at him, like a white arrow stabbing at Chen Yunzui, the latter did not dare to slack off, and the shadow suddenly flickered, and dodged it.
He deeply felt that the speed of this monster had improved a lot compared to the last time!
But when he looked at it again, the white monster rushed towards the Red Aya River without warning, and in the shocked eyes of everyone, it jumped into the raging river, and was swallowed by the river with just one breath.
Lian Tianyun, Su Baiyue, and Xiao Yuchen, who were ready to block all directions, were stunned, and hurriedly rushed to Chen Yun's side, looking at the surging river, and couldn't find any traces at all.
"Even if he is a master of the Nine Heavens, he would never dare to jump into the Red Silk River like this, this monster is so water-like!"
Xiao Yuchen lowered his brows slightly, looked at the fierce water, and said, "Compared to this...... Xiao is even more worried about whether the poison on its body will be washed away by the river, in this case, I am afraid that there will be endless disasters. ”
"Alas......" Several people sighed, Chen Yun came back to his senses, turned around with a frown, and said at the same time: "Let's go, go and see the iron box left by the monster!"
Xiao Yuchen opened the iron box with a jade sword, only to see a piece of paper lying inside.
Everyone looked confused and looked at each other.
......
A moment later, Lian Tianyun and the others went to the palace, and the piece of paper was naturally handed over to Nie Junhe.
Seeing that everyone only brought back a piece of paper, Nie Junhe was a little disappointed, he opened it, and after reading the words on it, his face turned pale, and he slammed it on the bookcase, knocking the bookcase into a crack.
The piece of paper was also blown to the ground by the strong wind and landed at Xiao Yuchen's feet, he picked up the paper, secretly strange in his heart, and looked at it.
I saw that the paper read: "Tomorrow evening, Qingyang Street, exchange two bottles of Lingyu Shenquan for their lives." Only Chen Yundrunk was allowed to come alone, and he would not wait for the obsolescence. ”
"This ......" A few people felt a pang in their hearts, they couldn't imagine all this, they actually came to the Lingyu Divine Spring.
That is one of the treasures of this New Yuan Martial Arts Conference, and it is also the most precious!
Chen Yunzui tightened his fists, and his eyes turned cold, "Sure enough, someone is doing a ghost behind his back!"
Xiao Yuchen frowned, these man-eating monsters were obviously cultivated by that person, he couldn't help but wonder, what method could be used to cultivate such an invulnerable and infinitely powerful terrifying monster?
"The first prize of the martial arts meeting, the Lingyu Divine Spring, because of its miraculous effect, there are naturally many people in the rivers and lakes who covet it, and there are countless people who have ghosts in their hearts and try to get it for nothing!" Nie Junhe gritted his teeth, and was extremely painful, "However, if you dare to use my child's coercion as a bargaining chip to persecut, this is the first case since the creation of the martial arts meeting!"
Xiao Yuchen couldn't help but sigh, he didn't work for anything, his mind was vicious, and the bloody scenes of indiscriminate killing on the street surged into his heart, and at this moment he seemed to be able to see the eyes of the person behind the manipulation, which were a pair of cruelty, sneering, trickery and sinister eyes.
"The Spirit Imperial Divine Spring is the most important treasure of the country! If it were not for the imperial decree of the founding king, how could it be easily shared with the people of the rivers and lakes. Nie Junhe's eyes were resentful, and his heart was full of anger, "At this time, I actually involved all my sons and daughters!
He even planned to completely close the Lingyu Divine Spring, however, how could the hundred officials agree, the rhetoric was nothing more than respect for the ancestors, etc., in fact, it was not because they also colluded with the people of the rivers and lakes, in order to seek an opportunity.
"The Emperor's ......"
Nie Junhe raised his hand, and his eyes showed absolute clarity, "That's it, if I don't save my child from death, I can't even be a father, how can I have the face to hold the Heaven Chasing Sword?"
Heaven Chase Sword - Evidence of Heaven Chase King!
"Tomorrow, I have to ......" Nie Junhe looked at Chen Yundrunk helplessly.
On paper, it was said that only Chen Yundrunk was allowed to go alone.
"The emperor can rest assured, I will take good care of the Lingyu Divine Spring, and please rest assured, the third highness and the princess will definitely return safe and sound. Chen Yundrunk said, and then he looked at Su Baiyue and Lian Tianyun, "Also, I hope you don't act rashly, after all, the enemy is dark and I am clear, I am afraid that the two highnesses will have accidents." ”
Xiao Yuchen was stunned, his eyes moved slightly.
