Among the ruins.

"Senior Brother Luo, Senior Brother Zhou, you can be counted as back! "Cheng Kui and Liu Ming, who were responsible for guarding and maintaining order, saw the figure of Zhang Ye and the others, and thought that it was Senior Brother Luo and the others who had found someone, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ran over.

Zhang Ye was slightly stunned, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

Behind him, Qiao Qu, Luo Qi and the others shook their heads and sighed separately.

Cheng Kui looked lost, but he looked behind them again, his expression was inexplicably tight, and said, "Senior Brother Mo and Senior Brother Xu...... They...... How is there no ......"

"Senior Brother Cheng, how are Uncle Huang and Aunt Lin?" Qiao Qu suddenly raised his voice, interrupting Cheng Kui's words, and kept hinting with his eyes that he should not ask any more questions.

On the side, Zhang Ye didn't say a word, and walked straight towards the ruins.

Cheng Kui and Liu Ming, who didn't know why, glanced at each other, and then looked at the expressions of Senior Sister Qiao Qu and several other senior brothers, and seemed to suddenly understand.

After a few words, everyone returned to the ruins one after another, and there was a trace of forbearance in their expressions.

Zhang Ye saw his junior disciples coming, slowly stood up from a stone pier, and said, "After a while, you go and tell these family members, just say that Luo Qi has found water, but it is very little, not enough for everyone to eat, so let's continue as usual for the time being." ”

Qiao Qu, Cheng Kui and the others nodded.

They understood what the word 'business as usual' in Zhang Ye's words meant.

Qiao Qu and several other juniors took out two large bowls of rough embryos and a curved tooth dagger with a black body from the storage space.

"Senior Sister Qiaoqu, you have been taking your own blood for the past few days, let's come back today...... I didn't find a water source, I should be able to compensate for it......" Luo Qi's face was anxious, he rolled up his sleeves and stretched his arms over.

"Yes, you are the beautiful sister in our minds, and there are so many scars on your arms, which affects our face too much. Liu Ming also smiled and gave his arm full of knife marks.

Qiao Qu looked at his arm.

Indeed, she has been taking blood for the past few days, and she doesn't have enough time and aura to recover her own yuan power - the world is desolate, and she can't absorb the aura of heaven and earth from the outside world, and she is not willing to consume the little vitality in her body to treat her injuries, and now every bit of vitality needs to stay in the battle, so now, on Qiao Qu's once white arms like lotus roots, these large and small scars can't be completely faded, and they look ugly and eye-catching.

But what is it?

In this ancient city, who is not struggling on the line of life and death, and who is not trying their best to save everyone's lives.

Especially Zhang Ye.

Qiao Qu looked at Senior Brother Zhang Ye who was rolling up his sleeves, and the dozens of sinuous knife marks on his two arms looked even more shocking.

"You two have just returned, so I'll take care of some of it for you. Qiao Qu thought for a while, replaced another arm with fewer wounds, and also stretched out to the side of the scimitar.

The blade is cut out.

A scar appeared on his arm, and blood flowed out.

A hint of pain flashed on Qiao Qu's face, and he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Drip......

Tick, tick......

Drop by drop, the essence blood of the martial artist was slowly sliding into the two rough embryo bowls along the wounds on the arms of Zhang Ye and the others.

With the sound of dripping into the bowl, the ordinary people gathered around the ruins seemed to realize something, and they all looked at the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Sect, some of them women and old people, they couldn't help but cry, but although they looked sad, they couldn't leave the slightest teardrop.

A moment later.

The two big bowls were filled with the essence blood of Zhang Ye and others.

Cheng Kui took Liu Ming, Luo Qi and Zhou Yuanshan, each holding two large bowls, divided into two sides, and walked towards the crowd leaning against the wall.

The essence and blood of the strong contain the spiritual charm and energy of heaven and earth, although it cannot satisfy hunger and quench thirst, but it can preserve the last trace of vitality and continue life.

In the past three days, the hesitant supply of food and water has been completely cut off, so Zhang Ye, Qiao Qu and others have no choice but to make this decision, and feed those dying old and weak women and children with their own essence and blood every day, so as to continue the lives of these hundreds of people to this day.

It's just that even if these strong men are covered in blood, they can't hold out for too long in the face of hundreds of weak people.

What's more, now they are also short of water and food, and their yuan power is about to be exhausted, so it can be said that they have reached a situation where they can hardly protect.

In the final analysis, such a choice is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst.

Zhang Ye and Qiao Qu stood side by side at the gate of the ruins, looking at the hazy night in the wind and sand, with solemn and serious expressions.

To be honest, it has reached the point of exhaustion, and even the two of them don't know what to do next.

God, how ruthless.

It's so dark that there's not a ray of light in sight.

At this moment, in the crowd, a new change appeared.

A weak voice suddenly sounded from among the ruins.

"No need, I can't drink your blood anymore, these days, thanks to you, my Aunt Lin can live a few days of human life, Yu Yecheng is ruled by those thieves, tyrannical and murderous, now it is like a ghost domain, I can escape, I am already very satisfied, now there is no water and food, just rely on your blood to survive, I can't bear it, Auntie...... I'm old and frail, it's useless, so leave this blood to those children, don't waste it on me......"

An old lady with messy gray hair, a haggard expression, the skin of her whole body seemed to have been drained of water, and her clothes were already tattered, and she said sadly.

"Aunt Lin, what are you talking about, if it wasn't for Uncle Lin and Lin San to spread the news in time, how could we people escape from that ghost place safely, your husband and son have exchanged their lives for our freedom, they are our great benefactors, and you are their only relatives left in this world, how can we ignore you, you believe us, we have found water, hold on for a few more days, and when Senior Brother Jin and they find Yuanjing and rush over, they can take us to find the domain gate, and we can escape from this Tianlong Ancient Realm and live well." Cheng Kui was just a young man in his twenties, and as he spoke, he hurriedly dropped a drop of blood onto Aunt Lin's finger and comforted him gently, the corners of his eyes seemed to be faintly red.

On the side, Zhang Ye and Qiao Qu heard the movement, glanced at each other, and walked in the direction of Lin Damiang and the others.

"Come, Nian'er, give you this blood, hurry up and get strong and live well. Aunt Lin smiled, struggled to sit up, moved two steps, and laboriously passed her fingers in the direction of the previous pair of mother and son.

"Aunt Lin, you ...... No, Nian'er is still young, and he can hold on for a few more days......" The mother quickly shook her head.

If you want to take away the blood in Aunt Lin's hands now, it is equivalent to taking the life of Aunt Lin, and it is impossible for them to happen in a group of people like them who escaped from under the tiger's mouth and can be said to live and die together.

Aunt Lin smiled faintly and gently wiped her fingers into her mother's arms, the small mouth of the little boy named Nian'er.

After getting the energy and aura in that drop of essence blood, Nian'er, who was originally drowsy and almost in a comatose state, slowly opened her eyes, and there was a trace of blood on her thin little face.

"Okay, my wife and son died in the hands of those thieves, I can stay in this world for a few more days, I am already very content, now I should go to accompany them, although my flesh and blood are not much left, but how much can be used, you just take it and cook it, and replenish some physical strength, otherwise you will continue to lose blood, and your strength will also weaken, and if you want to protect these children at that time, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult......"

The voice did not fall.

Aunt Lin, who was already weak, didn't know where the strength came from, so she resolutely crashed into the rock wall behind her, and before everyone could react, she directly crashed to death on the stone, her body weakened, and she fell to the ground.

In the palm-sized wound, only a small amount of blood remained.

"Aunt Lin!"

"Quick! save her!"

Several disciples nearby gathered around at the same time.

But after Zhou Yuanshan, who is the most proficient in medical skills, examined Aunt Lin, he shook his head, saying that he was powerless to return to the sky.

"Aunt Lin is already frail, she has been short of water and food for a few days, she herself is dying, and now she is ......" Zhou Yuanshan stretched out his finger and gently closed Aunt Lin's eyes.

All around, the people huddled under the rock walls and broken idols were so sad that many could not bear to look at them anymore.

"Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin, if we really eat your flesh and drink your blood in order to survive, then what's the difference between us and the vulture drug lords in Yu Yecheng!" Qiao Qu held Aunt Lin's thin hands, and gradually began to be cold, angry and sad.

But Aunt Lin couldn't hear her anymore.

At the moment of death, Aunt Lin's face still had a trace of determination and relief.

The crowd was sad, but helpless.

Half an hour later.

The hundreds of people in the ruins absorbed a drop of the essence blood of the strong man and began to rest.

During this period, there were a few old men who were already angry, and they also wanted to follow the example of Aunt Lin and cut off their lives so as not to add any more burden to this large army, but they were all stopped by these disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Sect who saw the opportunity early.

Zhang Ye and Qiao Qu led several other juniors to the top of the Lifeng City Wall.

Lifeng City at night is silent and dark, and there is endless desolation everywhere.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what should we do next, continuing to continue to use essence blood to continue everyone's lives is not a long-term solution after all. Qiao Qu frowned tightly, and the scene of Aunt Lin's decision to commit suicide seemed to linger in her mind.

"Yes, Senior Brother Jin, they are still in Yuye City, and now they should start the established plan, I don't know if they have succeeded or not. Cheng Kui looked in the direction of Yu Yecheng with a trace of worry in his eyes.

"Hey...... Now in the entire Heavenly Dragon Ancient Realm, a small piece of ordinary source crystal is a priceless treasure, and it is not easy to steal it. Luo Qi sighed lightly and said, "I just hope that Senior Brother Jin and them can be safe......

Zhang Ye stood at the very edge of the city wall, his eyes also staring in the direction of Yu Yecheng, silent for a while, not knowing what to think about anymore.

At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.

In the void, a little light flickered.

Before everyone could react, they saw that less than a hundred miles around Lifeng City, dense Yuan Force ripples were like a huge net, shrouding around and above the giant city, flickering at the same time.

"Hahaha...... Zhang Ye, you traitors, I see where else you can escape!"

A tyrannical and cold voice resounded between heaven and earth.
