Chapter 3 The Deserted City
On the north wilderness, an ancient city, the city gate is strong, the city wall is towering into the clouds, this is the town of the wilderness, it is one of the most meritorious emperors in the history of the human race, the last time the emperor of the town of the wilderness set out to pacify the desert to establish the city.
In order to commemorate the Emperor of Zhenhuang, later generations named this place Zhenhuang City, which is an important base for the human race to resist barbarians and monsters, and it is also one of the most famous cities in the Northern Wilderness.
Under the deserted city, Ye Qing stood in front of the towering city gate, wearing rough clothes made of small animal skins, holding a big stick of animal bones in his hand, like a wild man.
It had been three days since Ye Qing came back from the dead, and when Ye Qing climbed out of the puddle, the clothes on his body were gone, but what made him happy was that his body was more than a little stronger than in the past.
Not only did the injuries on his body heal, but even his complexion became much whiter, and his already beautiful face became more refined.
He didn't know why he came back from the dead, and he didn't dare to think about it, after all, there were monks in this world who moved mountains and reclaimed the sea, and it was a world of cultivation, and no matter what happened, it was not surprising to him as an ordinary mortal.
In the past three days, he has survived peacefully by hunting wild beasts.
Originally, it was less than a day's journey from the high mountain where Ye Qing was located to Zhenhuang City, but the place where Ye Qing came back from the dead was on the top of that high mountain, and ordinary people couldn't go down at all.
Ye Qing could only take a detour to this city, and at the same time, he was glad that he met the fairy at that time, if his sister walked from there to the town desert city alone, he was afraid that before he reached his destination, he would become the food of the beast.
In front of the city gate, a large group of people are lining up to enter the city, these are war-torn and displaced people, hoping to enter the city and find a place to stay.
It's a pity that the city is strictly inspected, and the guards are all willing to let people in after checking them one by one, and there are many people who have been driven away by the guards and cannot enter the city, and those people can only continue to wander, and they don't know whether they live or die.
Ye Qing was very helpless, the town in front of him was strictly investigated, and after Ye Qing was resurrected, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't meet anyone else along the way, so he couldn't even explain his origin now, and it was almost impossible to enter the city.
But if he didn't enter the city, he didn't know what to do after that, although the fairy didn't know where to go, but the other party should stay in the town and leave a trace.
After all, it was not easy to find a place to rest in such a large Northern Wilderness, so although he was risky, he still followed the team gradually, hoping that the guards would not pay attention to him and let him into the city.
Time passed slowly, and there was not much time left before Ye Qing was investigated, and at this moment, among the few people in front of Ye Qing, a fat man who looked like a wealthy businessman was suddenly pushed to the ground by the guards.
As the fat man fell to the ground, several cloaked men lined up behind him appeared behind him, staring warily at the surrounding defenders of the Desert City.
The rich merchant seemed to feel that he couldn't get over it, and his face was a little ugly, but he still stood up with a smile and said to the guards flatteringly, "Don't be angry, it's a little bit of thoughtlessness, how about you look at this?"
As he spoke, he took the man who seemed to be the leader of the guards, walked aside, took out a brocade bag in his hand, and handed it to the captain of the guard.
The captain of the guard took the brocade bag, opened it and took a look, the brocade bag was full of golden coins, and his eyes suddenly widened, and he threw the brocade bag to the ground, and shouted loudly
"Put away your villain pie, it won't work here! Let those people take off their cloaks, and if you don't tell me where these people came from, you'll have to go back to the Criminal Law Department with me." ”
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and take down the merchant, but how could the merchant be so subservient, he leaned back, evaded the captain's capture, and then with a move of both hands, the cloaked people behind him surrounded the guards, and the two sides instantly fought with each other.
The others behind the merchant were also panicked when they saw the merchant's actions, and they scattered with a scream, not daring to approach them, and a large open space was suddenly vacated in front of the city gate.
The merchant's face was ugly, he knew that today's matter would not be good, his eyes were horizontal, he looked around, and said to the people behind him.
"I'll stop them later, and you can rush in at a moment's notice. ”
After saying that, he flashed into the crowd of refugees behind him, slapped away a woman with his fat hand, and then stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl beside the woman, the sharp nails left a bloody mark on the little girl's neck, and the little girl was so frightened that she cried out at once,
"Mommy, Mommy"
The mother looked at the bloodshot on her daughter's neck, and cried in fear.
"Please, please spare my child. ”
The fear in the woman's eyes was very strong, and she crawled towards the rich merchant, trying to protect her child, but the rich merchant did not care, and said to the leading guard
"If you know each other, you will obediently let us in, and you are not allowed to report to the city, otherwise everyone here will have to give us a funeral!"
The rich merchant's tone was cold and terrifying, and the strength in his hand increased a little, and the girl's breathing began to become rapid, as if the rich merchant could take her out of this world with a little more force.
The woman on the side had already cried into tears, and the guards were helpless, the hostages were in the hands of the rich businessmen, and it was naturally impossible to let the rich businessmen leave, but if the girl was strangled to death by the rich businessmen like this, it would be too inhuman, and the guards were in a dilemma all at once.
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, suddenly, a black figure burst out of the crowd, he was dressed in animal skin, his hair was messy, it was Ye Qing.
He was not far from the position of the rich merchant before, and after seeing the rich merchant kidnapping the little girl, he secretly approached the rich merchant, and waited until the rich merchant was lax before he took action.
It turned out that although Ye Qing was bold, he undoubtedly grasped the timing very well, he successfully rescued the little girl, he held the girl, but because he was too fierce before, he was rolling on the ground at this time.
The rich merchant was furious, and the little girl's detachment from him meant that his previous efforts were in vain, and he was likely to be left here by the guards, "You bastard!"
The rich businessman's tone was excited, but his body was not slow, and he ran towards Ye Qing frantically, wanting to hold the hostages again, and the black-clothed people on the side were not slow, they all rushed towards the crowd, wanting to create chaos, but the defenders of Zhenhuang City had experienced a hundred battles, how could they let them be happy, and at the same time rushed towards the black-clothed people, blocking the black-clothed people
"Bang" with a crisp sound,
The rich merchant and the captain of the guards collided together, the rich merchant's hand grabbed the blade of the captain of the guard, but no blood flowed, the rich merchant actually relied on his body to resist the sharp blade, the captain of the guard looked at the rich merchant in shock, and the man in black on the side was also in a stalemate with the other guards at this time, and the smoke and dust were filled for a while.
Ye Qing was holding the little girl at this time, barely hiding behind the guards, while the rich merchant was in a stalemate with the captain of the guards, and in the smoke and dust, the rich merchant's appearance was no longer the appearance of the human race.
I saw that his hands showed slender and sharp claws, hair appeared on his face, his eyes turned into vertical eyes like cats, and the captain of the guard was like a great enemy, his whole body muscles were tense, and he was facing each other head-on.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, the captain seemed to be unable to resist the attack of the rich merchant, and actually took a step back, the corner of the rich merchant's mouth smiled, his hand was forced, and the green tendons burst out, and he forcibly forced the guards to retreat step by step, and arrived in front of Ye Qing.
The rich merchant seemed to have some strength left, looking at Ye Qing, his eyes showing a bloodthirsty light.
"Boy, you were very brave just now, can you still be brave now?"
The rich merchant slowly raised one hand, and the other hand was forceful, so that the captain couldn't move, and the captain of the guard had a resolute look in his eyes, although he was completely suppressed by the rich merchant, he did not flinch at all.
"Do you think you'll be able to get away if you kill them? You can't escape, stop now, it's still too late. ”
The captain said, but the rich merchant didn't care, and his eyes still showed a bloodthirsty light.
"Hmph, of course I'm not going to let them die, these are all hostages, life-saving things, but if it's just damaged, there's no problem. ”
The rich merchant raised his hand, the sharp claws on his hand glowed with cold light, and he came out of the air, and in an instant, he was in front of Ye Qing and the female baby.
Ye Qing wanted to escape, but his body was difficult to move because he broke his leg because of the previous roll, and the rich merchant's claws seemed to be able to easily penetrate his and the girl's body.
Ye Qing didn't dare to think about it, and with a push of both hands, he pushed out the girl who had already fainted with fright, and the claws of the rich businessman also came to Ye Qing in this short moment.
