Chapter 258: Dead City
Zhang Ruochen and Han Huan hurried day and night, reaching the fastest speed, and at noon the next day, they finally came to the periphery of the Heavenly Demon Ridge.
On the horizon are tall and majestic mountains, densely wooded and sparsely populated, and it is not uncommon to see huge and ferocious beasts.
"We are only half a day's way away from Heavenly Demon Martial City, and we should be safe. ”
Han Yun let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I remember, not far from here, there is a small city called 'Yueji City', which belongs to the sphere of influence of the Yuntai Sect, we can go over and have a good rest. Perhaps, the people from the Yuntai Sect Mansion and the Wushi School Palace who received us have already arrived in Yueji City. ”
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, "Okay! If the Wushi Academy Palace and the Yuntai Sect Mansion really have masters, it would also be a good thing to meet us in Yueji City." However, we'd better be careful, and it's best to scout before heading into the city. ”
More than ten days have passed, and the news must have been transmitted back to the Wushi School Palace.
The Wushi School Palace will definitely send a strong man to meet Zhang Ruochen, after all, with Zhang Ruochen's talent, it is definitely worthy of the key protection of the Wushi School Palace.
When Zhang Ruochen and Han Huan came to the outside of Yueji City, they found a very strange thing!
The gates were wide open, and not a single figure could be seen.
Although Yueji City is only a small city, it is by no means desolate. Every year, there are thousands of warriors who go to the Heavenly Demon Mountains to adventur, and most of them will go to Yueji City to stay temporarily, replenish healing pills, sell brute corpses, and so on
。
Why is it that today, no one can see it, like a dead city.
Zhang Ruochen sniffed lightly in the air, and from a distance of hundreds of meters, he could also smell a strong rancid smell coming from the city.
"How could Yueji City be so quiet, could it be that the evil Dao martial artists of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce have already occupied this small city?"
"If it were an evil martial artist of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce, it would definitely not be so obvious. ”
Zhang Ruochen seemed to have guessed something, and walked directly in the direction of the city gate.
Han Yun hesitated for a moment and chased after him.
Walking into Yueji City, Zhang Ruochen and Han Yun found that the entire Yueji City had indeed become a dead city, and there was not a single living person on the street.
Because, there are only dead bodies.
The dead bodies fell to the ground in all directions, some hung on the eaves, and some were broken in two......
It was as if they had only been dead for a day or two, their bodies shriveled up, blood drained from all over their bodies, and a rancid stench in the air that made people want to vomit.
Although it is still daytime, it gives people an eerie feeling, like coming to hell on earth.
"Whole ...... How did a city become like this?"
Even though his psychological quality was excellent, Han Yun's face was still pale, and a strong fear was born in his heart.
"It can't be a ghost, right?"
Han Yun leaned towards Zhang Ruochen slightly, and pinched the hilt of the sword nervously.
Zhang Ruochen was expressionless, walked in front of one of the dried corpses, squatted down, and glanced at the two holes in the neck of the dried corpses.
Zhang Ruochen's pupils shrank, and he said, "Sure enough, it's her." ”
Han Yun asked, "Who?"
Zhang Ruochen stood up again and said, "Have you heard that the master of the Martial City Academy Palace is dealing with a blood-sucking demon?"
"I've heard that it is said that the Martial City Academy sent the masters of the Ten Heavenly Extreme Realms to deal with her, and she also escaped!"
Han Yu suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise: "Could it be that she sucked up the blood of these people? In the entire Yueji City, there are tens of thousands of martial artists, and with her strength alone, I am afraid that she will not be able to suck the blood of tens of thousands of martial artists." ”
"It is estimated that she has already cultivated a blood spirit. ”
Zhang Ruochen said thoughtfully: "If it is with the help of the blood spirit, plus her own strength. To suck up all the blood of the warriors of the entire Yueji City, in fact, it is not a difficult task. Having absorbed so much human blood, I wonder how far she has grown?"
Han Yu looked at Zhang Ruochen with some surprise, and said with some doubts: "You seem to know that vampire demon very well!"
"Of course, because I've seen her and know where she came from. Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Yu was stunned, curious, and asked, "What is her origin?"
"Now is not the time to talk about that vampire demon, we're in trouble again
!”
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were staring in the direction of the city wall.
"Buzz!"
A swarm of colorful bees, flying above the walls of Yueji City, with a glint of wisdom in their eyes, were staring at Zhang Ruochen and Han Huan.
The bodies of those bees were a hundred times larger than ordinary bees, about the size of a fist.
Their wings are spread out and are half a meter long, and at the tail end, they have sharp stingers.
At a glance, it looks like a flock of colorful birds flying in the air, and there are hundreds of them.
"Qianli Bee!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Yu also stared at those huge bees and said, "Being able to control so many thousand miles of bees at the same time must be a master among the beast masters. As far as I know, there is a strange person beside the King of the Four Directions, named 'Ling Xiansu', who is a master of beast control. Could it be that he caught up?"
"It should be him!" Zhang Ruochen said.
Qianli Bee, a first-order high-grade brute beast, can only be regarded as average in attack power. Its true use is to track down enemies, survey the terrain, and deliver messages.
The average low-level beast master can only raise one, or a few thousand miles of bees.
Being able to dispatch hundreds of thousand miles of bees at the same time is definitely a master-level figure.
The attack power of the beast master is even more terrifying than that of ordinary martial artists in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and he can easily destroy a city.
A beast master is comparable to an army of hundreds of thousands, and his destructive power on the battlefield is the most powerful.
After those Qianli bees found Zhang Ruochen and Han Huan, they flew out of Yueji City and went back to inform the beast master.
Han Yun said: "While that beast master hasn't chased after him, let's run away!"
"Where to run?"
Zhang Ruochen said calmly: "What is the most powerful thing about the beast master? that is to control the brute beast and attack the martial artist. In Yueji City, there are city walls, houses, and formations, which can also cause certain obstacles to the brute beasts and give us a chance to fight back. But if we escape into the Heavenly Demon Ridge and then be surrounded by the brute beasts, it will be even more unfavorable to us. ”
Han Yu said, "You mean, we will stay in Yueji City and compete with that beast master?"
"The power of a beast master, we can't compete with it at all! We just try to delay the time, we can only hope that the masters of the Martial City Academy Palace and the Yuntai Sect Mansion can come early. Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Huan finally understood what Zhang Ruochen meant, staying in Yueji City, the masters of the Wushi School Palace and the Yuntai Sect Mansion would find them more easily.
If they fled into the vast mountains, they would not only have to face a steady stream of brute attacks, but it would also be difficult for them to wait for a master to come to their rescue.
Zhang Ruochen began to count the resources that could be used in the storage ring, and took them out the same.
Thunder beads, forty-five.
Three healing pills, ten bottles, ten capsules each. Among them, there are not only healing pills, but also pills that restore true qi, and pills that temporarily increase strength.
Four healing pills, two bottles, five pills each
。
Attack battle map, seven.
Defensive array flags, two. Assault Array Flags, five.
......
Han Yun stared at Zhang Ruochen taking out a large pile of resources from the storage ring, and he was already overwhelmed with surprise.
Just those forty-five thunder beads are worth tens of millions of silver coins, and they have the power to destroy tens of thousands of armies.
There are also those pills, battle maps, and array flags, all the treasures combined, and they are worth at least 30 million silver coins.
She is a daughter of the Yuntai Sect and a top genius, but compared to Zhang Ruochen, she can be regarded as a poor jingle.
Han Yun picked up one of the battle maps and opened the sealed rolled sleeves.
On the picture scroll, it shows the form of a third-order high-grade brute beast purple horned beast, according to the explanation on the battle map. If the battle map is activated, ten purple-horned beasts can be stimulated to help the warrior fight.
The value of this battle map alone is definitely more than two million silver coins.
"How do you have so many treasures?" Han Yun asked.
Zhang Ruochen's treasures were naturally taken out of the warehouse of the Red Spider Giant Ship, and they were all high-end commodities that the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce was ready to buy.
Zhang Ruochen didn't tell her the source of those treasures, and said, "If you want to resist the attack of the brute beasts, you must first set up a formation. I have already seen the protective formation of Yueji City, and it has been damaged to a certain extent, even if it is repaired successfully, the power will be greatly reduced. ”
"Now there is only one way, and that is to use the formation flags of the seven formations I took out and combine them with the original moat array in Yueji City to form a new moat array. You go first and plant the banner on the wall. ”
There are a total of seven formation flags, two sets of defensive formation flags, and five sets of attack formation flags.
For each formation, the least "Ghost Light Skull Array" only had twenty-four formation flags, and the largest number of "Thousand Armies and Beasts Formation" had eighty-one formation flags.
The formation flag is made of bronze cast flagpole, the length is about seven feet, and the formation master is equipped with spirit crystals in the flagpole to provide the energy required by the formation flag. At the same time, the flag is woven with witch gold silk, and the formation inscription is burned, which is connected with the flagpole.
As long as the formation flag is inserted on the ground according to a certain law, the warrior can use the true qi to urge the formation.
Among the seven formations, even if it was only the lowest-priced "Ghost Light Skeleton Array", in the auction hall of the Poisonous Spider Chamber of Commerce, it could still auction for three million silver coins, which was comparable to the total assets of an eighth-rate family.
Zhang Ruochen not only wanted to arrange the seven formations, but also to combine the seven formations with the large protective array of Yueji City, so that the formation could exert its greatest power.
At that time, Yueji City will not be said to be impregnable, at least it will have the strength to fight an offensive and defensive battle with that beast master.
Han Yu turned into a slender phant, flew up the city wall of Yueji City, planted a pole array flag on the city wall, and began to arrange the formation.
Planting the formation flag, in fact, there is no technical content, as long as it is a martial artist, it is basically possible.
For some reason, although he knew that this battle was auspicious, Han Yu was still excited and looking forward to it, and he didn't feel terrified at all.
