7. The war in Taoyuan
more
Just like what is said in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", Taoyuan Township is flat, not only can you not see the hills, but you can't even see a piece of relatively large rocks, and the flat and open fields extend from under the stone wall to the distance, far away from the cliffs. Cheng Peng used the estimation ability he practiced during archaeology to roughly estimate that this Taoyuan Township should have a diameter of five kilometers, because the terrain is almost perfectly round, so it is about 20 square kilometers...... This land is indeed not small, enough for people to live for generations and escape the "chaos" of the world.
It's just that along the way, in addition to the barren fields or barren fields, it shouldn't have been a year or two since the fields were abandoned, and the grains and vegetables have completely turned into weeds. And it may be because of the abundant aura here, many plants grow huge and strange, what a person-tall radish, a melon vine that stretches for hundreds of meters, and a tree-like sorghum...... When you walk inside, you feel as if you have entered the land of giants, and everything around you has become huge, but you have become smaller.
Cheng Peng walked in front with the Huolin gun, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, keeping an eye out for any disturbances.
He can't really be blamed for being overly nervous...... The terrain here is indeed a little too conducive to ambushes - it must be fine to hide a few people in the soft soil; It is also easy to hide behind or even inside the huge plants.
Not only that, but from what I just experienced, it seems that these plants may also turn into monsters and catch them off guard. Adventure 7
Actually, these are nothing, since you are here, you are ready to fight, and it makes no difference if you fight people or monsters. What really worries Cheng Peng is the ubiquitous pressure that pervades Taoyuan Township.
This pressure is formless and substantial, but it is real, gloomy and heavy, with an unsettling aura, as if everything in heaven and earth is looking at Cheng Peng and them coldly, smiling viciously, "showing" blood-stained claws and fangs, ready to rush up at any time and tear them to pieces.
Although he doesn't know immortal arts, Cheng Peng also understands what this pressure is - this is the ubiquitous "Mandate of Heaven" in the Shushan Swordsman world.
The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan is a very strange world, in this world, it is neither power nor human hearts that determines the direction of the world, but the so-called "Mandate of Heaven".
Those extreme demon Daoists who eat people's hearts and refine souls can always be at ease for hundreds of years or thousands of years, no matter how many inhumane things they do, it doesn't matter, if they don't wait for the destiny of heaven to arrive, they definitely don't have to worry about dying; And decent people can only obediently reincarnate one life after another, suffering countless hardships and spending countless efforts, just to wait for the destiny of this Laoshzi to favor him; As for those who are not in the side door of the good and evil realms, they are born without a mandate of heaven, no matter how high the mana is, no matter how thick the merit is, in the end, they will either end up in the path of life and death, or they will turn to the righteous path as an errand thug in a low voice......
Such a world cannot be said to be a world of hope!
The sword fairy written by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion at a time when the country was in danger and the society was chaotic, although it was a lot of his ideals, it was also branded with that era, revealing a strange and cold smell from his bones. Although the evil sect in the story is extremely ferocious, such as chewing the living life, disemboweling the fetus, extracting the marrow, refining the soul, etc., it is outrageous, but the people in the righteous path are mostly arrogant, stingy, and arrogant, which makes people dislike it at first glance - when Cheng Peng was there, he could fully understand the reasons for the formation of this worldview, but when he wanted to actually face this kind of world, he felt very uncomfortable, and he just wanted to destroy the gun with one blow, and "shoot" this gloomy and cold sky out of a hole, so that the real sun shines on the world!
"I'm not in tune with the world." In the midst of silence, Cheng Peng suddenly spoke.
"It can be seen that you are still more suitable for the Jin Ge Iron Horse to travel thousands of miles." Shen Qi smiled, "Although it is cool to say that you are fighting against the Mandate of Heaven, things like this are not really suitable for you now." ”
Cheng Peng sighed, didn't say anything, clenched the red spear in his hand, and looked ahead.
About half a mile away, there is a small village, and in the courtyards separated by bamboo fences, the small wooden houses do not seem to have been eroded by time, but the courtyards are empty, and there is no sign of inhabitation at all.
Thinking about it, since the land has been abandoned to this point, of course people must be long gone.
It's just that Cheng Peng felt an extremely dangerous murderous aura from that village.
"Looks like ...... Somebody was there to welcome us. He smiled and pointed in a particularly murderous direction and said, "It's a pity that although they hide their bodies, they can't hide the disgusting smell - it really stinks for ten miles against the wind!" ”
This mean joke amused Shen Qi, she raised her right hand and gently stroked the long golden hair, and then her slender fingers swiped quickly in the air like playing a piano, and in less than half a second, a fist-sized fireball appeared in the palm of her hand, floating gently and dexterously, as if there was no weight, just constantly emitting a wave of heat, proving that she was definitely not a harmless toy.
"Then let me help them." As he spoke, Shen Qi stretched out his arms and pointed in the direction that Cheng Peng had just said.
The small fireball trembled slightly, and then turned into a crimson meteor, and went straight to that side like a lightning speed, and in just a few blinks of the eye, it crossed a distance of several hundred meters, and the fact was that it slammed into a wooden house.
With a loud bang, the fireball exploded in an instant, turning into a huge flame that could envelop half the room, and also rolled up a violent wind mixed with countless sparks, igniting everything that could be burned around it, turning the entire house and a large area next to it into a raging sea of fire.
When the sea of fire first rose, there was a figure that seemed to be about to rush out of it, but before he could run two steps, Cheng Peng's spiral throwing gun had already arrived. That person was already panicked by the sudden attack, where could he take care of Cheng Peng? It's just that he never imagined that Shen Qi's fireball might not burn him to death, but Cheng Peng's spiral throwing gun would definitely kill him! Adventure 7
Seeing that the man turned into white light and disappeared, Cheng Peng smiled slightly, and another throwing gun appeared in his hand.
"Since you dare to stay in my way, come and get someone's gun!"
The strange thing is that although they said "we have found you", and also used a round of tacit surprise attacks to kill one of the other party, but everyone in Qingfeng Palace was still silent, no one appeared, and even the murderous aura that was faintly "revealed" just now disappeared without a trace.
"Regardless of the skills under my hands for the time being, this endurance comparable to a shrinking turtle is really admirable!" The enemy forbears like this, even Cheng Peng has to praise it, and Shen Qi also nodded again and again, expressing deep admiration for the incredible patience of those players who support the Qing army.
In any case, they still had to move forward after all, whether there was a large group of enemies in ambush or countless traps in front of them, Cheng Peng and Shen Qi had to go over, because if they stayed where they were, the members of Qingfeng Palace would be able to happily and steadily steal the Xuanyuan Sword and the Book of Heaven.
Maybe that's the wishful thinking of those people.
It's just that...... No matter how well the abacus is played, it must be the cooperation of the enemy.
In the next half minute, Cheng Peng used practical actions to really open the eyes of those Qingfeng Palace players who had made up their minds to hide behind the trap and ambush.
Instead of using the throwing gun he carried, he used his embodied ability to manifest a short gun.
This gun is shorter than a normal throwing gun, no more than a meter long from the tip to the tail; The whole body of the gun was crimson "color", red purple, red and black, with a heavy and dangerous feeling; The light red "color" lines are like veins of plants all over the body of the spear, forming strange patterns, and if you look closely, these patterns are still glowing, and the light is like a life, rhythmically bright and dark, as if breathing.
"What is this?" Shen Qi asked curiously.
"My own tricks...... Look! Cheng Peng sold it slightly, and the white light of magic flashed on his right hand that grabbed the throwing gun. The white light flickered, and was sucked into the body of the gun like water meeting a sponge, and then without hesitation, he squatted down slightly, his arm drooped, and threw the gun against the ground.
The speed of this shot was not fast, and it was far from being comparable to the spiral throwing gun that "shot" the person in the flames just now, but soon after it flew out, the body of the gun began to explode one by one, as if this throwing gun was not an ordinary weapon, but a patchwork of explosives, and each small section would set off a huge explosion on the ground and around it.
By the time all the throwing guns were blown up, starting from about one hundred and fifty meters in front of Cheng Peng and them, to the small square in the center of the village, a long ravine had been blown out along the way as if it had been hoeed by a huge plowshare.
There is a large section in the middle of this ravine, which looks quite strange, and strange things are scattered and broken in a disorderly manner, scattered in the ravines and on both sides of the ravine, but if you look closely, they are all remnants of some traps.
If you look closely, the length of the road full of traps is more than a hundred meters, which is really amazing - the players of Qingfeng Palace don't know how much manpower and material resources it took to set up such a position full of traps and a death passage, thinking that they must be relying on this death passage to annihilate all the enemies in the future, and they must be full of confidence.
It's a pity they were wrong.
Cheng Peng didn't know how to build traps himself, but he knew a friend who was very good at making traps and traps, and he got a lot of guidance and help from that friend.
For example, just now, he passed the screenshot of this section of the road to Xu Tu through a private chat, and then Xu Tu easily recognized several traps - so there was a scene where Cheng Peng destroyed the traps along the way with an explosion and threw a gun, practicing violent demolition.
Seeing that the trap path was completely destroyed, the people of Qingfeng Palace naturally couldn't endure it anymore, and finally walked out of the hiding place.
Looking at those gray-faced and embarrassed guys, Cheng Peng smiled.
As soon as he raised his head, another throwing gun appeared in the palm of his hand. Adventure 7
"I've said it a long time ago, it's so boring to hide!" He sneered and threw out the throwing gun, "Let's hurry up and hang back, I'm in a hurry!" ”
