However, after a while, Lu Jia recovered, and he sighed bitterly at Xiao Jinxing and said:

"I don't know why I told you so many things today, and I don't know why I trust you so much, maybe it's because of Ayi'er.

She was snatched away by the Creeps at such a young age, and I'm so sorry for her as her father. ”

"No, Ayi'er doesn't blame you, on the contrary, she always feels guilty for not standing up in the first place, but hiding behind you, killing so many people, and causing her father to bear such a huge shadow."

Xiao Jinxing comforted the old man in front of him who had fallen into great self-blame.

"Patriarch Ruga, join me in my plan, let's go east to the pass together, and go to live in a place where there are no worms.

There are some things that you don't know if you can succeed if you don't try. Xiao Jinxing said persuasively.

Lu Jia looked up at Xiao Jinxing's sincere expression, but to Xiao Jinxing's surprise, he shook his head firmly.

"No, we're not going anywhere.

Xiao Datouren, since Dawu believes that you are the one who can change the status quo, then go and do what you think, but I, Huaxu people, am afraid that I can't walk with you. ”

With that, Ruga gently pulled the reins in his hand and turned the horse's head back to walk back.

"Why?" Xiao Jinxing looked at Lu Jia's back and shouted suspiciously.

I saw Lu Jia raise a hand and shake it gently.

Then in Xiao Jinxing's eyes, he entered the golden tribe with more than 1,000 centaurs out of the "city".

"Is he Aunt Ayir's father?" After a long time, Xin'er, who was behind Xiao Jinxing, walked up to Xiao Jinxing's side and asked him.

Xiao Jinxing nodded but did not speak, his mind was now full of the helplessness that Fang Cai Lu Jia had when he was rejected by the Great Witch.

What is the reason why a warrior who dares to lead 100,000 people against the Wrenchers is so helpless?

Xiao Jinxing naturally couldn't figure it out.

How could he understand the helplessness of Hua Xu being the source of "food" for the Worm Temple for hundreds of years, and bearing the hope of the whole grassland.

More than ten years ago, when Luga went to Dragon City alone to ask for the people to be relocated inward to escape the whirlwind of the worms,

How could that kind of hopeless despair be something that Xiao Jinxing could guess.

Xiao Jinxing sighed, turned around and took the heavily armored cavalry to the far east to fight his horse,

Leaving behind only the huge secret behind him, the door was closed in the fog.

But the door seems to be waiting for the day when it will be reopened.

This battle into the Huaxu clan is like a complicated dream, which makes Xiao Jinxing constantly reminisce.

encountered the Huaxu people who were helped by the Creeping God,

Seeing the girl who was abandoned by the worm god who would suck the blood,

Ayier's inexplicable disappearance,

and the attitude of Huaxu people towards themselves.

A lot of mysteries lingered in Xiao Jinxing's mind, and a lot of confusion made him a little confused.

Without the support of the Huaxu people, it seems that only one of the eight tribes will not participate in Xiao Jinxing's eastern crusade plan, but in fact, what is lost is half of the population of the other seven tribes and the corresponding war horses, grain and grass, and soldiers.

Xiao Jinxing could only smile bitterly at this matter, after all, he couldn't take the same bloody approach to Ayi'er's parents and clansmen as he did to other tribes.

Although he can totally do it.

......

On the afternoon of the fifth day when he led the army out of the Golden Tribe, Xiao Jinxing ordered the whole army to camp on the shore of the Wuhu River.

The frozen surface of the river was beaten hard by the soldiers, and several large holes were opened.

The soldiers waiting in line to fetch water were talking and frolicking with each other, and they did not seem to be nervous at all.

Because they had already told the whole army that they were going to return to their hometown, Xiao Jinxing, Xin'er, and more than a dozen leaders, who had no concern about these violations of discipline, also walked to the Wuhu River after inspecting the huge camp and enjoying the afterglow of the sunset on the grassland.

The withered yellow grassland beside them was shrouded in the golden silence of the setting sun, and the terrain here was as flat and vast as it had been seen in the past, and the slightly undulating high slopes and low-lying places in the distance seemed to be covered with a thick carpet, and under the not so blue sky, it seemed more solemn than the warriors who fetched water.

On the banks of the river, boulders rolling down the water from some hill stood abruptly on the bank, and they were afraid that they were more than a thousand miles away from their homes.

"I'm going home."

Xiao Jinxing sighed in his heart, and he could deeply perceive that the barracks beside him were filled with the joy of returning home in the hearts of all the warriors.

Xiao Jinxing looked at the young generals beside him, most of these people were teenagers who followed him out of the Youyu tribe, but after several years of conquest, these young people looked far more mature than people of the same age, and they also had a murderous aura that was not common among their peers.

When his eyes touched Xin'er, Xiao Jinxing found a little strange that this girl who was a few years older since Ayi'er left, her brows were tightly knit as if she was preoccupied, so she asked with concern:

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?

It's too cold outside, if you feel cold, go back to your tent first.

Don't freeze yourself. ”

"Brother, why are the fish in this black water so strange, Xin'er heard them scattering and fleeing, as if they were hiding from something?"

Xiao Jinxing knew that Xin'er was spiritually able to communicate with animals, and this ability was once praised by Ayi'er.

As soon as he heard her say this, Xiao Jinxing immediately asked the young men to take a few steps back, and then moved his gaze to the surface of the black water.

However, he looked at it for a long time and found nothing unusual.

"Xin'er, did the fish say anything to you?" Xiao Jinxing asked with a serious face.

Xin'er shook her head, but walked a few steps towards the icy water, squatted down and listened carefully, and after a long time, she said to Xiao Jinxing, who was following closely behind: "The fish can't speak, but I feel their panic, and what they are hiding from is coming towards us, otherwise the fish under my feet would not have fled in one direction." ”

Xin'er raised her hand and pointed to the west as she spoke, apparently telling Xiao Jinxing the direction in which the fish were fleeing.

Xiao Jinxing instantly understood and turned his head to the water in the east, where more than a hundred and a dozen people were digging ice on the ice to get water.

Suddenly, Xiao Jinxing seemed to think of something, he grabbed Xin'er and ran to the land, and at the same time said to several young people who saw Xiao Jinxing's strange appearance and looked panicked:

"Go and get the archers, the more the better."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Xin'er's arm and ran frantically to the soldiers who were fetching water, shouting as he ran:

"Come back, all from the ice."

Because it was too far away from the soldiers who were fetching water, Xiao Jinxing's shouts dissipated after a short distance spread by the cold wind of early winter.

So none of those soldiers heard Xiao Jinxing's shout.

But among the more than 100 people, several people saw Xiao Jinxing running towards them in the distance.

They raised their heads and looked carefully at the people running in the distance, wondering who the man who dared to disobey the military order was.

In the barracks, unless there is an emergency military situation or a soldier who has given a specific order, other people are not allowed to run around in the camp without authorization on weekdays.

So Xiao Jinxing, who was running, quickly became the focus of attention of those soldiers.

As he got closer to the soldiers, so did the attention.

The soldiers who fetched water were surprised to find that Xiao Jinxing and the people behind him looked quite anxious when they waved their arms when they ran over.

It's like there's some danger on your side.

But there didn't seem to be anything worth noting on my side, except for a few large holes in the ice and the sound of the cold wind blowing in my ears from time to time.

Despite this, a few of these soldiers who fetched water still had some status as the leader of the army left the team and walked in the direction of Xiao Jinxing.

It's just that a few of them just left the ice and stepped on the grass, when they saw Xiao Jinxing and the others suddenly stop as if they were petrified, and there was a huge sound of breaking ice behind them.

Then a cacophony of screams and exclamations reached the ears of several people.

They all looked towards the source of the sound, and saw about a dozen long-tailed monsters they had never seen before, killing the soldiers who had been digging for water and ice on the ice.

At this moment, these leaders were too frightened to move,

And most of the soldiers on the ice were like this, only a few of them were brave enough to take a few steps to escape, and they immediately attracted monsters to intercept and kill.

The monsters were more than a foot long, and they stood upright, killing everyone who lived with their forelimbs and bloody mouths.

And on the ice, they moved as fast as horses galloping through the grassland,

This is in stark contrast to the soldiers who slipped under their feet in a panic and kept throwing themselves on the ice.

Xiao Jinxing was stunned and looked at the terrifying scene in front of him,

Others don't know what this thing is, but Xiao Jinxing, who has been to Chu State, has seen it.

These monsters are like crocodiles that can stand up, except that they are bigger and more ferocious than those crocodiles on the summer waters.

They were also able to walk upright and shout and talk to each other as they slaughtered their own soldiers.

Xiao Jinxing's eyes widened, as if he had met the worms for the first time in the Yu tribe a few years ago, and his hands and feet were cold.

Soon, the slaughter on the ice had come to an end, and the ice was full of stumps and severed arms.

More than a hundred or so people who did not carry weapons died tragically in an instant at the hands and under the sharp teeth of these monsters.

As the ice quieted down, the monsters' eyes turned to the people on the shore.

After all, Xiao Jinxing was the one who had fought with the creeping fight, so he was the first to wake up when he saw this.

I saw Xiao Jinxing shout to the leaders who were standing on the grass in a daze: "Run", and then pulled out his sword from his waist and aimed it at the monsters on the ice who were about to attack.

Several leaders didn't know whether they heard Xiao Jinxing's shouting or were in their hearts, and when those monsters turned their heads to look at them, they immediately turned around and ran in the direction of Xiao Jinxing.

There are a few people on the grassland who don't know the name of the worm, and even if they are stupid, they have guessed that these monsters are the terrifying worms.

It's just that they are wondering as they run, when did the worms become like this, isn't it rumored that they are monsters with the body of a horse and a cow and a human face?
