Chapter 120: Risking Your Life
Demons can not only photosynthesize with green skin to replenish energy in the body, but also chew and digest food like humans to maintain physical strength.
"Although they have not been able to completely eradicate the Origin Army, they have also suffered heavy losses, and their vitality has been greatly damaged, and they will not be able to recover in a short time. Next, we will find a favorable time to capture the Origin Land and take all the wreckage of the Ark into our possession. Guiguzi said.
"Did you give him the pill, are you sure it works?" The Bull Demon King asked.
"It is all based on the records in the Heavenly Book of the Remnants, which are tempered and can preserve the efficacy of the medicine. As long as Ming Shiyin gives the empress a subordination, at that time, he will be able to control the entire Tang Dynasty. He will have the ability to fulfill his promise with us. Guiguzi said.
"The Great Wall guards of the Tang Dynasty have all withdrawn from the Great Wall, and diplomatic exchanges with the Land of Origin and Jixia Academy must be severed, even if the two places encounter war, they must not send troops to reinforce them. As long as he Ming Shiyin can do this, at that time, the entire north of the Eastern Continent will be the world of our demon race. "The Bull Demon King said.
"yes. When we gain a firm foothold in the north, we will soon be able to take the entire Eastern Continent. Guiguzi said.
After Mulan encounters the Demon Clan's Hundred Cave Settlement, she begins to make a detour. Gradually, the snow began to fall heavier and heavier, and it was impossible for everyone to walk, and it happened that there was a trench nearby where they could take shelter from the wind and snow. Mulan ordered everyone to set up a tent in the trench for the night, and then continue to advance after dawn.
"I didn't expect there to be so many caves inhabited by demons, I don't know what I'll encounter the further north I go." He Guozhong chewed the dry cake in his hand and said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter what it has, as long as we don't provoke them." Hua Qilin Road.
"Xiaozi, can you play a song, it seems that I am a little homesick." He Guozhong said.
"Are you looking for death, let the demons hear the sound of the flute, and if they follow the sound again, we will completely capsize in the gutter!" Xiao Zi said angrily.
"It's only been three days since you came out, and you're starting to feel homesick, can you have a little bit of fun." Liu Chunfeng teased.
In this relaxed atmosphere, everyone gradually fell asleep. On the fourth day, the sun was rising, the sky was cloudless, the snow had stopped, and the snow on the ground seemed to be a little thicker. After breakfast, the people removed their tents and began to move on.
It was about noon, and Xiaozi took advantage of the rest of the crowd to prepare to go to the side of the hill to relieve himself. Just as he was whistling and feeling comfortable, he inadvertently raised his head and glanced into the air, and more than a dozen black dots flew in this direction from the extreme eye of the sky, and the speed of approaching was getting faster and faster.
"It's not good, there's not even a bird here, the black dot is the same as I saw yesterday, it must be a demon." Xiao Zi was worried, lifted his pants in a panic, and ran back. "Oh no, no, captain, there are more than a dozen demons flying towards us, right in that direction." Xiao Zi pointed in the direction of the sky, looking uneasy.
Mulan looked back and looked in the direction that Xiao Zi was pointing, and sure enough, a demon was flying over. "Everyone immediately take refuge in front of this small hill, do not make any noise, and move quickly." Mulan hurriedly ordered.
After Mulan finished speaking, everyone ignored the food beside them, picked up their weapons, and ran to the small hill in front of them, some squatted down, some lay in the snow, and quietly waited for the demons to fly over.
Gradually, the black dots in the sky were unconscious, and they had turned into demons with clear outlines in the sky above them. Everyone held their breath at the same time, their postures stiffened, and all their movements seemed to freeze in air.
The shadow cast by the demons on the snow also moved quickly with the flight of the demons. Everyone caught a glimpse of the shadow of the demon clan on the snow not far away, and it flashed in an instant, and the heart that was in the throat began to relax.
"They've flown away, let's go over and have lunch." Hua Qilin was the first to speak.
Everyone looked up one after another, and sure enough, they saw the demons heading south, and began to come out of the foot of the hillside one after another, continuing to enjoy the unfinished lunch.
With a flick of his fingers, an arrow as fast as lightning shot at the snow warp beside Mulan, and the tip of the arrow sank deep into the warp surface and stirred up the surrounding snowflakes. Hua Mulan followed the direction where the arrow was flying, looked back suddenly, and saw that the dozen or so demons were actually in the sky to the west of them, speeding towards them.
"Everyone is ready to fight, and the demons have discovered us." Mulan warns everyone.
Everyone looked at the western sky and couldn't help but gasp. Some of them trembled so much that they couldn't stand up immediately. Some fearlessly drew their weapons and held the rungs in front of their chests. Others are calm, already pulling arrows on the strings, just waiting for the moment when the enemy approaches.
Then the second, third, fourth... The tenth arrow came at them mercilessly, and the crowd either dodged or blocked them with their weapons. Hearing a muffled snort, a soldier didn't have time to dodge before he was shot into the throat by a sharp arrow, and before he could shout, he fell straight into the thick snow.
"His ancestor's, when will the demons use arrows!" He Guozhong scolded.
"Yes, the speed of evolution of the demons is getting faster and faster." Liu Chunfeng echoed.
More than a dozen demons continued to swoop downward, getting closer and closer to the crowd. "Shoot the arrows." Mulan ordered. Only five or six clusters of arrows were heard, bouncing off the bowstring with a hissing sound of breaking through the air. There were two demons who were hit by arrows, and they fell weightlessly to the ground with a roar.
"Bang, bang." With two loud bangs, the two demons smashed two huge snow pits in front of the crowd almost at the same time. The snowflakes are squeezed and lifted by the powerful impact force, forming waves of snow several meters high in the air. Suddenly, everyone was covered with scattered snowflakes and turned into snowmen.
The demons who fell into the snow, due to the cushion of the snow, did not fall and were seriously injured, but staggered to their feet, roaring and rushing towards everyone. Seeing this, Liu Chunfeng unhurriedly pulled out two arrows from his back, put them on the bowstring, swished twice, broke out of the air, and shot towards the demons. The two clusters of arrows passed through the snowflakes around the demons, and shot steadily into the two eyes of a demon. The demon who was shot was in terrible pain, and on the snow, while roaring in pain, his limbs frantically swung around.
Another demon who came wildly, on the way to run, struggled to break the wings behind him and used them as weapons to pounce on Mulan. Mulan pulled out her light sword, and the bow swirled around like a swallow on the snow, and the two light swords pierced into the knees of the demon who came straight to her in the blink of an eye. The demon roared in pain and pounced on the thick snow in front of Mulan, and Mulan jumped through the flying snow and landed on the back of the demon, and the heavy sword was quickly pulled out from her back the moment she just jumped up.
Hua Mulan slashed her sharp heavy sword from the air, and the head of the demon clan was cut off instantly, and everything happened in the blink of an eye. The demon's green blood splattered in all directions, and the snowflakes were soaked into a meadow.
The rest of the demons flew from above the crowd, and then swooped in the opposite direction. Another rain of arrows came at the crowd. The people who can be selected here by Su Lie are all good hands in the army, and they still have more experience in dealing with the arrow rain of the demon clan, and there are no casualties this time.
This time, after the demons shot this wave of arrows, they continued to dive downward. Seeing this, Hua Mulan guessed the demon clan's intention to land, and shouted urgently: "Get out of the way." As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen demons slammed to the ground like boulders, and more than a dozen snow waves covering the sky roared towards everyone. In the blink of an eye, everyone was knocked to the ground by the huge snow wave and buried in the snow.
When Mulan struggled up from the snow, she saw three or five warriors, who had been torn alive by the demons, with broken legs and broken arms scattered on the snow.
"There's a downhill ahead, quick, get out of here." Seeing that the demons were fierce, Mulan changed her mind.
The man who was still alive took out the sled behind him and began to slide down the slope. Hua Qilin's sleigh didn't know where to lose under the impact of the snow wave just now, and began to work hard to find his sled under the snow.
"Don't look for it, use mine. Go away, and I'll stop them. Mulan threw her sleigh at Hua Qilin and admonished.
"Captain, what are you going to do?" Hua Qilin Road.
"I'm the captain, go quickly, if you don't want to die, go quickly." Mulan roared.
Hua Qilin was full of tears, put on a sleigh and rushed down the snow slope. When he looked back, he saw that she was surrounded by demons.
At this time, there was no trace of fear and cowardice in Mulan's eyes, but an indescribable firmness. She put the heavy sword in front of her, her legs were slightly bent, and the heavy sword was suddenly wrapped in a red halo, she swung the heavy sword in front of her, and the vigorous and powerful red sword qi broke through the air, and the five or six demons didn't have time to dodge, and in the blink of an eye, they were divided into two by the strong and sharp sword qi from the waist.
Hua Mulan felt a demon pounce behind her, and rolled on the snow, and the demon pounced skillfully avoided by her. The rest of the demons broke off the trap wings behind them and began to pounce wildly towards Mulan. Hua Mulan withdrew her heavy sword, pulled out her waist light sword again, and while dodging the crazy pounces of the demons, her swallow-like body flashed behind the enemy and stabbed the double swords into the back knees of the demons. In a few snaps of his fingers, three or four more demons were in unbearable pain, and they couldn't stand on their feet, and they fell into the snow with their teeth and claws.
There were also three demons standing in front of her, and Mulan gasped for breath, waiting for their attack. Two of the demons roared wildly, holding high the broken sharp broken wings in their hands and attacking Mulan. Hua Mulan pulled out her heavy sword again, jumped up, and a red sword qi burst out of the air, and in an instant, the heads of the two demons rolled down from their respective bodies and fell into the snow.
However, at the moment when Mulan landed. In the end, the demon flew up in the air at some point and crashed into Mulan's back at a great speed, and Mulan suddenly spat blood from her mouth and was deeply knocked into the thick snow, and the surrounding snow buried her deeply.
The demon who survived to the end, walked towards Mulan in the snow without any signs of struggle, he broke off the wings behind him, and slowly raised them, the tips of the wings were pointing downward, he roared, and stabbed Mulan in the snow....
