Chapter 144: Great Grace Without Thanks

Yun Sha had to sigh, "Then you must protect yourself." ”

Cen Zhaohou saw that she finally responded, so he nodded.

Zonglu and they knew that Cen Zhaohou wanted to take his guards to the Scorching Sun Country, and they all said that they would follow, but Cen Zhaohou refused them one by one.

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Cen Zhaohou led his guards to ride his horse towards the Scorching Sun Kingdom.

And at this time, the terrible scene in the country of the scorching sun is staggering.

There were no more normal people on the streets, and there were no guards patrolling the streets, and from time to time it was those monsters with rolling eyes roaming the streets, some of them proudly wearing the clothes of guards.

Moreover, the houses on both sides of the road are no longer closed, but long scratches on the doors of several houses can be faintly seen, and blood stains appear in the doorways from time to time.

And the further you go into the palace, the more monsters there are.

In the end, I saw that the palace gate was full of monsters, if it weren't for the palace gate being really indestructible, it was not difficult to imagine what bad consequences would have been if these monsters entered the palace gate.

In the palace, most of the palace maids and guards seemed to have evaporated, and there were no traces of people on the road to the palace.

Outside the palace gate where only Ermuzhu lived, from time to time one or two palace maids passed in some food from the window.

When Cen Zhaohou entered the Scorching Sun Country, he only felt that the situation in the Scorching Sun Country was strange everywhere.

He and his guards held their breath and carried them through the eaves, looking straight into the palace.

They stopped all the way to the entrance of the palace.

The walls of this palace are very tall, and they can't fly over them with their light skills.

However, all these palace gates are surrounded by monsters, and if you want to open the palace gates, you will inevitably attract the attention of those monsters, and it will be difficult to get out of the palace.

Cen Zhaohou was worrying outside a palace wall, when he suddenly saw a palace maid walking towards them.

Cen Zhaohou's guards quickly raised their vigilance, drew their swords, and if the palace maid had half an abnormality, they would kill her with one sword.

Who knew that the palace maid was approaching. When I looked up, I saw that it was a normal pupil.

Cen Zhaohou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

The palace maid looked very haggard, her face was sallow, and her appearance was far from being as decent as that of ordinary palace maids, she saluted Cen Zhaohou, "Hello General Cen, I am the palace maid who serves the king closely, and I am waiting for the general outside the palace gate every day on the orders of the king." ”

When Cen Zhaohou heard that she was the palace maid of Ermu Zhu, he continued to ask, "What happened to the Burning Sun Kingdom?" Why are there no more people on the streets? And how could there be so many monsters outside this palace? ”

The palace maid smiled bitterly, "General Cen should not stay outside the gate of this palace for a long time, come to the palace first, and then talk to you slowly." ”

Cen Zhaohou responded, but saw that the palace maid was also a strong martial artist, and took them to another part of the palace wall with light skills and holding his breath.

It's very remote and there are no monsters nearby.

The palace maid took out the dagger on her body, groped around the palace wall, and poked hard at a place, only to see that the skin of the palace wall fell off, revealing an iron gate more than five feet high.

The palace maid pushed hard against the iron door, and the iron door quickly opened, and she beckoned Cen Zhaohou and the guards to enter the palace quickly.

Seeing Cen Zhaohou's puzzled eyes, the palace maid told the reason.

It turned out that some time ago, suddenly a prison door with monsters was broken, and those monsters rushed into the street to bite many guards, and even broke down those closed houses to bite the people inside.

When the king got the news, he quickly sent more troops to the streets to arrest those monsters, but most of those monsters were now transformed by guards, and those guards who patrolled the streets were originally selected, and only those who were strong in martial arts and strong could go, but now they became monsters, and those who were not afraid of pain or death were naturally more rampant.

Ordinary soldiers couldn't help those monsters, but were bitten, and there were more and more monsters.

Seeing that the situation was becoming uncontrollable, the king ordered that all the surviving civilians and troops of the country should be relocated to the seashore and set up camps, lest the monsters break through the houses of the people and injure them.

The army is also easier to defend on the seashore, those monsters are stiff, if the soldiers can't beat them, kick those monsters into the sea, those monsters will not be able to float for a while.

As they spoke, several people were almost at the gate of the palace where Narmyu lived.

The palace maid closed her mouth, but Cen Zhaohou said strangely: "The palace walls and palace gates in the palace are so strong, it stands to reason that there should be nothing in the palace, why has it become so bleak?" And why did your king let you sneak outside the palace gate to wait for me instead of cleaning up the monsters outside the gate? ”

The palace maid's expression was indistinct, as if she had something to say but could not speak, and finally only said, "General, you will know when you go in and see our king." ”

Cen Zhaohou was not embarrassed by him, so the palace maid stepped forward and opened the door of the palace with the key.

Cen Zhaohou felt strange again, how could he lock the king of a country in the palace.

However, the picture that caught his eye really shocked him.

I saw that there was light everywhere in the palace door, and the place where it came in was covered with black cloth, and the palace was dark at this time, and the open door behind it was the only source of light.

The floating ash in the air made the palace even more obscure, not at all like the residence of a king of a country.

The dust on the floor indicates that no one has been cleaning the place for a long time, and the smell of dust in the room is mixed with some rot.

But what really surprised Cen Zhaohou was that the first person in the palace who was locked by thick and long chains was Ermu Zhu.

Ermuzhu's body was full of wounds, large and small, and you could see how much effort he had put into breaking free from the chains.

Cen Zhaohou slowly approached, and the scene in front of him was really difficult for him to accept.

Ermu's teeth and nails were completely transformed into the monster's appearance. It's just that the pupils of the eyes didn't turn completely white like ordinary monsters, but seemed to be struggling.

At this time, Er Muzhu watched Cen Zhaohou and them walk in, and kept stretching out his hand to scratch him, and after a while, he retracted his hand as if he restrained himself.

The maid who followed behind sighed, "Some time ago, when the king visited the princess, she didn't take a bite," and the maid pointed to Ermuzhu's neck, where there was a purple-black tooth mark.

"After the king was bitten, everyone was shocked, who knew that the king did not turn into a monster as quickly as the others, and his mind was still clear, and the king immediately sent most of the palace guards and maids to the sea to hide with those people, and let him be locked up."

"In this way, at first the king can still have some sanity, he explains everything to me every day, if he is really crazy, he must go to the palace gate and wait for the general to come, he said that you are a far-sighted general, you will definitely come. And so it went on for a few more days, and the king became less and less sane, but looked more painful than the usual monster. ”

"Normally those monsters only need to bite and scratch others, but the king still has a conscience in his heart, and he has to ......bear the physical pain while fighting against his own instinct when he becomes a monster," said the maid, with an unbearable look in her eyes.

Cen Zhaohou was also silent, and after Yun Sha came back, he studied this bone erosion again.

If a person with strong willpower is bitten, he may be able to maintain consciousness, and how long he can keep it depends on the strength of his willpower.

But ordinary people can't even hold on for a few seconds, because if they are conscious, they will feel extreme pain, and the bone erosion will not only erode the body of the poisoned person, but also constantly destroy his consciousness and turn him into a complete monster.

It is conceivable how strong the willpower of this Ermu grape should be.

Cen Zhaohou looked at Ermu Zhu, who was obviously sitting on a high position in the hall but was like a trapped beast, and then he understood that all his successes were what he deserved.

Cen Zhaohou took out the bottle containing the poison swallowing Gu on his body, and stepped forward, he didn't know if Ermu Zhu recognized him, and there seemed to be a light flashing in his eyes when he saw him.

Cen Zhaohou took out a poison-swallowing Gu and carefully placed it on Ermu Zhu's neck.

Ermu didn't react at first, but after a while, he struggled wildly, and the expression on his face was more than ten times more hideous and painful than before.

An unbearable whimper erupted in his throat, and the thick chains rattled as he struggled.

Finally, the expression on Ermuzhu's face calmed down, his nails and teeth returned to normal, and his face was no longer a terrifying blue and white, but a weak pale.

Er Muzhu opened his eyes, his dark pupils were full of clear looks, and when he saw Cen Zhaohou smiling, he seemed to want to say something, but he finally fainted.

The palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and untied the chains.

I went to the room again to find the medicine that I had prepared before but didn't dare to use, and carefully applied it to Ermu grapes.

Cen Zhaohou saw that he was fine, so he slowly exhaled.

The maid hurriedly brought a few stools for them to rest, and then got up and said that she would go and prepare food for them at once.

Cen Zhaohou stopped her, but poured out a poison-swallowing Gu from the bottle in his hand and asked her to put it on the princess's neck, and the palace maid was ordered to do it immediately.

After a while, Ermu woke up from his seat, got up and saw Cen Zhaohou and was about to kneel down and bow to them.

Cen Zhaohou hurriedly stopped him, "The king doesn't have to be polite, this is what Cen should do." ”

Ermu insisted on kneeling, made the largest salute in the Scorching Sun Country, and said solemnly: "General Cen, thank you for your great kindness, if there is any use in my place in the future, just open your mouth." ”

Cen Zhaohou couldn't stop him, so he had to agree, and Ermu got up.

At this time, a figure walked over from the side hall, "Brother Huang." ”

When Ermu heard the voice, he was overjoyed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was the princess who was helped by the palace maid and walked over.
