The pilgrimage was as dead and silent as ever, and the night sky seemed to be affected, gloomy and terrifying.

Seeing that the torches were almost exhausted, the cavalry couldn't help but speak again: "Captain, let's turn back! It's too late, and if we go any further, the torches will not be supplied." ”

The captain thought about it, and could only say helplessly: "Withdraw!"

Hearing this, the cavalry breathed a sigh of relief, and just as they were about to turn their horses' heads, the horses suddenly began to neigh uneasily, and then, as if frightened by something, they jumped violently.

The cavalry who were caught off guard fell off their horses one after another, looked at the frantically fleeing war horses, and cursed angrily.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed cavalryman noticed something unusual in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Captain, there seems to be someone ahead." ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, several figures appeared in front of them.

"We are the cavalry of the Holy Fire Sect Huiyuan City, but you are worshipping the villagers?"

The figure remained silent, neither replying nor seeing any other action.

The captain frowned and glanced at his subordinates.

A cavalryman understood and stepped forward to check with a torch, however, when he saw the appearance of these people, his face changed drastically, and he was about to speak, but he was quickly pounced down and frantically bitten, and immediately screamed again and again.

"Bold!" the captain was furious, and along with the other cavalrymen, he drew his saber and stepped forward quickly.

Seeing that these madmen continued to bite the cavalry despite the warnings, the crowd was completely enraged, and raised their sabers and slashed them down.

Unexpectedly, the slashed man still tore at the cavalry, whose voice was getting weaker and weaker, as if nothing was right.

However, through close range, the cavalry finally saw the appearance of these people, although the clothing was exactly the same as that of the worshipping villagers, but those faces really frightened the cavalry.

It was a miserable white and bloodless face, with eyes that were all jet black, without a trace of the whites of the eyes, and even worse, the faces were mutilated! Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these monsters could no longer be called human.

Just as the cavalry was immersed in fear, there were strange noises on both sides of the forest.

It was the sound of a galloping run, with a beastly roar, shriveled and chilling.

Soon, the cavalry close to the dead tree was the first to suffer, and they were all pounced on and bitten by the flying figures, and they were suffering inhuman torture on their hands, feet, bodies, and necks.

The screams resounded in the sky.

The surviving cavalry began to panic, slashing frantically as they retreated, however, no matter how hard they tried, these monsters just couldn't be killed.

There are more and more monsters, from both sides, from the front, crazy gushing out, looking at the scale, at least more than a hundred.

More cavalry were pounced, and even the cavalry captain could not survive.

At this moment, the remaining few cavalrymen fled back as if frightened, ignoring the screams behind them.

It's a pity that their speed can't match these monsters after all, and the running cavalry is thrown to the ground one after another, and the living can only run desperately.

When the last survivor was also pounced on and bitten to death, the dead silence finally returned to the court.

Click!

A dead branch broke under the trampling of a horse's hooves.

This is a high war horse covered in phosphorescent light, and on the horse, it is a knight in armor and armor, the knight's facial features are dark and cannot be seen, and the only thing that catches the eye is the pair of blood-red eyes.

Soon, more such knights came into view, and from a distance, there were hundreds of horses, and behind the knights, there was a dense army of undead.

As the perspective pulls, at the far end of the pilgrimage, where the sea was originally the sea, but due to geological changes, the sea recedes, revealing a clearing.

Now, this clearing is full of advancing undead armies, including humans, beasts, giants, and half-orcs, and behind the undead army are more undead knights, calculated with the naked eye, let alone tens of thousands.

A terrifying dragon groan suddenly sounded.

Above the sky, a broken western dragon roared and flew, and above the dragon, a black-robed figure sat in it.

Behind the dragon, there are more dense flying monsters.

Western Regions Shenzhou.

The far west of the West.

A valley suddenly resounded with the roar of beasts, and the birds in the forest flew in panic.

On the plains, the Nu people camped.

In a chicly decorated yurt, an elderly man who looks over 100 years old wakes up from meditation.

"Could it be ... Is the prophesied life-and-death war for humanity really coming?"

The old man muttered, resisted the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Biography, patriarch." ”

"Yes!"

The guards outside the tent said a word and walked away quickly.

Soon, a middle-aged strong man hurriedly entered the tent, knelt down and said, "See the Prophet." ”

"Darkness is about to envelop the earth, the hope of mankind, the guardian of the dragon, the revival of our people has been born, I have calculated that he is now in the western capital, I want you to send someone to bring him to me quickly. The old man seemed to be very tired, and in just a few words, it was extremely difficult to speak.

The middle-aged strong man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Back to the prophet, can you know the appearance and name of this person?"

"You send someone to sneak into Shangdu secretly, find out, who is from the desert, after finding it, bring it to see me at all costs, be fast, my time is running out!"

The middle-aged strong man's heart sank, and he hurriedly retired.

West, Shangdu.

After Ye Gucheng's hard work, he finally put all the jurisdictions in order, and the special training place, a hundred slaves are receiving daily special training courses, and everything is on track.

However, what made Ye Gucheng feel disappointed was that Li Yueli never appeared again, he knew that this would be good for both parties, but he just couldn't forget that face, because only when he saw that face, he could deeply feel that Xuanyuan Xiu was still by his side!

However, there is more important work to be done right now.

In the side room, several people were sitting and discussing.

Ye Gucheng listened to the report quietly, his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said indifferently: "Very good, arrange the manpower." ”

"Master, rest assured, the special military uniforms for the Gao family have been prepared. ”

"The most important thing is to make sure that Gao Zizhong leads the troops to chase after him. ”

"Don't worry, master! We have already made arrangements for this. ”

"Very good!" Ye Gucheng turned his gaze, looked at the scribe and said, "Mr. Zhang, the rest of the matter will be handed over to you." ”

Zhang Yi responded with a smile: "Master rest assured, Zhang Yi will live up to his mission." ”

For Zhang Yi, Ye Gucheng is still more assured, although this person is an elegant person, he is not pedantic, courageous and strategic, and many suggestions coincide with him, he is a talent.

The most important thing is that this person is a down-and-out scribe, with no wealth and no power, although he has literary talent, he has been trampled on by his peers, and Ye Gucheng is also reused by Zhang Yitige, who came to admire him.

In fact, Ye Gucheng also had this experience, the reason why the scribes were so eye-catching at the beginning, he began to think that it was really with his own literary talent, and later learned that these scribes were just flattering Li Yueli's face, since he left the Hou Mansion, these so-called scribes didn't even bother to look at him, let alone say hello.

Ye Gucheng also realized that it was not feasible to improve his status through the influence of scribes, after all, his background was the lowest slave after all, even if he became a commoner now, in the eyes of these scribes, he was no different from a slave.

The next day, the wind was beautiful.

Li Jun took dozens of guards to go out in the wilderness, of course, there was also a young and beautiful girl with him, the two talked and laughed, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a mountain forest.

Just when everyone was defenseless, countless hidden arrows shot out from both sides, and the guards were caught off guard and killed one after another.

"Enemy attack! Alert! Hurry, protect the young marquis. ”

The sudden change shocked everyone, and in broad daylight, he dared to openly attack the young marquis, looking at the entire western realm, which was unprecedented.

It was also because I didn't think of this problem, and the vigilance of the escort team was not too high, and they suffered a big loss all of a sudden, and several waves of hidden arrows forcibly lost two-thirds of their manpower.

"The young master has an order, kill Li Jun, reward 10,000 gold, kill!"

There was a loud shout in the forest, and dozens of ambush soldiers in military uniforms suddenly rushed out on both sides.

"Protect the young marquis!"

The captain of the guard shouted violently and drew his sword to meet the enemy.

These ambush soldiers are very powerful, all of them are fierce and abnormal, and their strength is great, and the pampered guards are not opponents at all, and most of them are killed in front of them.

Li Jun looked at the situation of the fall, his face turned pale with fright, and he trembled.

Seeing that it was extremely dangerous, Ye Gucheng finally led more than ten cavalry to come quickly.

When Li Jun saw that the rescuers had arrived, he was immediately excited.

"Young Marquis, don't be afraid, Ye Gucheng is here, and the eldest lady has already brought troops here. Ye Gucheng's voice was very loud, as if he was deliberately speaking to everyone.

When Li Jun heard this, his expression was even more uplifted.

However, the ambush soldiers were not cowardly, but became more and more courageous, and they were about to approach Li Jun.

Ye Gucheng shouted violently, Pegasus knocked an ambush soldier into the air, and immediately, he quickly dismounted, swept away the machete that slashed at Li Jun with one shot, swept away, and slapped another ambush soldier away.

It's a pity that there were too many ambushes besieging Li Jun, Ye Gucheng began to be unable to parry, and a hanging color appeared on his body, and at this moment, a dark arrow shot from nowhere and hit him straight in the shoulder.

"Captain, here comes the Wasp!"

Finally, the cavalry led by the wasp also arrived.

Seeing that they were unable to do anything, the ambush soldiers had to shout: "Withdraw." ”

Li Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the danger had been solved, and noticed that Ye Gucheng was a little unstable on his feet, so he hurriedly supported him, and said gratefully: "Ye Gucheng, thank you for coming to save me." ”

"Young Hou Ye don't have to be polite, Ye Gucheng's life was saved by the eldest lady, I am a person from the Hou Mansion all my life, as long as I live, I will never allow anyone to hurt the people of the Hou Mansion. Ye Gucheng looked weak, and his speech was powerful and breathless.

Li Jun was moved, hurriedly held the other party's hand, and was about to say something, when he heard a violent roar, his eyes were straight, and he saw more than 100 cavalry suddenly appearing in front of him.

"Come on, speed fence up. Gao Zizhong looked at the slave in front of him and sneered, however, when he found Ye Gucheng who was being supported by Li Jun, his expression changed, as if he realized something.

"Gao Zizhong, what do you want?" Li Jun looked a little inward-looking.

Hearing this, Gao Zizhong even noticed that something was wrong, the reason why he brought troops to come was because he received a rumor that Ye Gucheng intended to kidnap Li Jun, in order to please Li Yueli, he personally led troops to guard, and now it seems that he was fooled, and quickly explained: "Young Marquis, don't be afraid, I am here to guard, I received the rumor, Ye Gucheng intends to harm you." ”

"I think you're saying the opposite, I'm afraid you're the one who wants to hurt me. Li Jun was really angry, he couldn't listen to such a false accusation.

Gao Zizhong suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he was not an idiot, and began to realize that all this was probably Ye Gucheng's trick, but he hated himself for being a genius, and he was actually fooled, when he thought of this, his eyes looking at Ye Gucheng were full of hatred.

And this scene, in Li Jun's eyes, naturally understood as annoyance and anger, and couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
