Zhang Zhao came back from the pharmacy and put the donkey treasure away. Lying on the bed so excited that he couldn't sleep, listening to the deafening snoring of the old butcher, he got up gently, pulled out the box under the bed, opened it, and counted the silver and copper coins. Then he wrapped up his only two single clothes and put them next to his pillow. Then he went to sleep.

This is half a month, and Zhang Zhao goes to the pharmacy almost every day. Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said to him every time: "Zhang Zhao, you don't have to come to see it every day, it's less than a day, and I will definitely ask Dayou to call you when it comes." ”

Although there is this donkey treasure, Zhang Zhao still gets up early every day to work. After selling the meat, he began to work in various shops in the town. No matter how much money you give, as long as you have a job, you will do it.

After reciting the requiem mantra devotionally for more than a year, there is no need to recite it as much as he did at the beginning, but Zhang Zhao still follows his original habit of going to bed every night before going to bed.

Recently, the donkey treasure has kept him in a state of euphoria, and he doesn't fall asleep on the pillow like before. It was the same after he lay down this night, and he imagined in his mind that in the unknown Aoki City, he would exchange a large sum of silver taels for a piece of pink fairy crystal for the old butcher.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhao was a little sleepy, so he calmed down, and according to Yuanming's teachings, he was compassionate and compassionate. After going through the requiem spell in his head, something surprising to him happened, as the scripture was recited silently. Suddenly, for no reason, there was one more word in his mind.

He hadn't seen it in any books, but he knew it was the first word of the Requiem Mantra. Zhang Zhao found it interesting and recited the scripture again, but this time there was no change at all, and he could only feel a scripture character with a faint golden light quietly levitating in his mind, lingering.

Zhang Zhao didn't care, closed his eyes, and stared at the strange but familiar golden word in his mind for a while. and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Zhang Zhao felt comfortable when he got up, he remembered the scene last night, closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and sure enough, he saw that the golden word was still there. Zhang Zhao was very happy, humming a small tune from the mouths of the uncles in the town, and began a new day's work.

On a city on the border of the Xuanmu Domain, there were a few patrol guards. They didn't even wear leather armor, because it had been nearly thirty years since the tide of beasts had subsided, and only sporadic beasts were seen in the city every day, and if they wanted to hunt a large amount of animal skin and meat, the hunters and soldiers in the city had to walk more than ten miles in a group to make some gains.

"What is there to patrol every day, not to mention wild beasts, not even cats and dogs, we people, it is better to follow them out to hunt. A young guard leaned over to another one he knew, and the two began to gossip.

"Do you know the rules? I didn't hear Lao Guo say, thirty years ago, this was the front of the beast tide's attack. We're the first line of defense. ”

As soon as the two of them talked, the others also came over and exchanged nonsense.

"Do you know, there are a few big people in our city, saying that they want to try something in that forest, and they are all cultivators from the Upper Three Realms from the Xuantu Domain. A man with a black spot on his face said mysteriously.

"Upper Three Realms?" The soldier who was bored at first was suddenly attracted to him: "In the past ten years, I haven't heard of any Upper Three Realms coming to us, they don't go to the big town to enjoy happiness, what are they doing in this place where birds don't?"

"I don't know, it's mysterious, I heard Xiao Feng at the back door say that when they came, there were two big carts, and the things on them were covered with cloth to prevent people from seeing. The soldier with dark spots on his face had a look of an eight-woman look.

"It doesn't matter what he is, it doesn't matter to us, wait a little longer, and we'll go back to rest." When an elderly soldier said this, his eyes widened suddenly. "What's that?"

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly they were in chaos. I saw that on the originally empty grass in front of the city, hundreds of scorpion dragon beasts covered in blue and green scale armor poured out just as a few people were talking.

Scorpion drakemons are not uncommon to them. They run like the wind on all fours, with large eyes on either side of their triangular heads, and a long tail that usually appears only from afar, turning and running back into the distant forest at the sight of a person or a loud noise. This is the first time this has happened.

"Call someone. Several of the soldiers came to their senses at once. They grabbed the trumpets from their waists and blew them.

Soon after the horn sounded, dozens of soldiers with weapons rushed up from under the city. A fierce face shouted at the present:

"If it's okay, I'll have to whip you hard. Before he had come up the steps, he cried out, "You fellows who have never seen the world, if there are less than ten wild beasts, I will kick you out of the city." ”

The veteran who saw the scorpion dragon beast first hurriedly shouted: "Commander Guo, you have to transfer all the people behind, there is a large area on the opposite side." ”

The one who was called Commander Guo didn't care at all: "I want to see how much a large piece of it is in your mouth?"

He took a few steps up the steps, and when he looked up, he was really surprised. "Yo, that's a lot. What's going on today?"

Although he was surprised, Commander Guo's expression was still calm. "Keep blowing the trumpet, and gather everyone to come. Then he instructed one of the soldiers behind him: "Go and bring those masters." ”

Commander Guo's face was not only not panicked, but there was some excitement. He stared at the scorpion dragon beast slowly approaching in the distance, and muttered, "It's not too much." "He's in his fifties this year, and he's experienced the scene of tens of thousands of beasts rushing madly into the city thirty years ago, and the scorpion dragon beast really didn't pay attention to it.

Wait until hundreds of soldiers in the city have arrived. They all pulled out their bows and crossbows, and when more than a dozen crossbows were also facing the city and were about to be fired, a voice sounded, hoarse as if the person who spoke had just eaten a handful of loess: "Commander Guo, let's come." ”

Below the inner city, there were six people who were obviously cultivators, and the people who spoke were dressed in yellowish robes and had a long sword on their backs. His face was full of wrinkles and he looked quite old.

Of the remaining five people, four of them were dressed in the same bun, all of them in dark green robes. A tall, strong man stood behind them. A hilt is exposed on the back.

"Then there are a few Lao. Commander Guo turned around and saluted: "This time it was a coincidence, and it saved a few people more effort to go to the forest to find it." ”

The old man in yellow who spoke first nodded, "I hope so." ”

At this moment, next to the two carriages behind them, the retinue pulled open the tarpaulin that had been covering it, and the soldiers who happened to look back in the city were stunned at first glance, forgetting that there were hundreds of scorpion dragon beasts in front of them.

The two carriages were shining with black light, and they turned out to be two huge mechanical bodies. Something that they had only heard from hearsay on a daily basis appeared in front of their eyes, and these soldiers were attracted to it.

The carriages gradually leaned closer to each other, the rear of the carriage facing each other, and the attendants stepped forward to buckle the brackets, connecting the two bodies together. The four cultivators in dark green robes walked quickly to the city, looked at the front of the city, and nodded at the yellow-robed old man.

"Alright, everyone in the vicinity get out of the way, and the herd of evil animals under the city will be handed over to us. After the old man in the yellow robe finished speaking, his footsteps shook slightly, and he arrived at the edge of the city wall. The tall man pulled out a door-shaped machete from his back and stood side by side with the old man, blocking in front of the four Daoists.

With a "boom", all the soldiers in the city stopped looking at the beast in front of the city, and turned to watch the giant on the carriage slowly stand up. Under the envoy of four cultivators in dark green robes, the Organ Giant staggered to his feet, and slowly walked up the steps to the city like a living person.

"Oh my God. All the soldiers opened their mouths wide and watched as the black giant of the mechanism stood at the top of the city. The giant of this mechanism is four or five feet tall. One arm is thick in front and thin in the back, square. On the other hand is a round hammer head.

While everyone was wondering how this giant fought, the four Daoists clasped their hands together and pinched a trick. The giant jumped forward with a slight bend on his knees, and landed under the city with a "Teng".

After tossing for so long, the manticoremon had already arrived nearby, and they had never seen this mechanism giant, and they were still hesitating to come forward and bite it.

Didn't wait for them to pounce. One of the Daoists pulled his hands together, and the left arm of the Giant below was raised. The front end of the square palm "Peng" sounded, and a dense group of crossbow arrows was shot.

These crossbow arrows are smaller than those shot by the crossbows in the city, but they are so powerful that everyone in the city can see them clearly. Countless crossbow arrows actually passed through the bodies of those scorpion dragon beasts that were hit by the arrows, and then nailed them to the bodies of their fellow people behind the dead scorpion dragon beasts.

"Wow. With a bang, all the soldiers in the city boiled, and they were so shocked by this giant of the machine.

The sound of "Pengpeng" rang out repeatedly, and as the hands of the Taoist in the city changed direction, the Organ Giant moved its arm and kept shooting crossbow arrows in front of it, and the scorpion dragon beast fell to the ground one after another.

They finally realized that the thing they had never seen before was an enemy, and they rushed up in droves and began to bite, their teeth and claws piercing through leather armor, but they could not bite the protection of what seemed to be wood on the giant's body, only squeaking and squeaking on it.

Another Daoist stepped forward, and the other arm of the Organ Giant also danced under the movement of his Dao Technique. The round hammer head smashed over the scorpion dragon beast in close proximity, and then the hammer actually flew out of its hand, forming a circle with a thick chain wheel. Knock a scorpion drake out of the way.

In a matter of moments, more than two dozen scorpion drakemons fell to the ground, either smashing to pieces with several arrows in their bodies. The rest rushed up without fear of death.

Two of the four Daoists controlled the arms of the Organ Giant, and with the contemplation and cooperation of the other two Daoists, the Organ Giant first stepped out of his left leg, then his right leg, and gradually coordinated, and began to walk slowly but steadily under the city. Everywhere they passed, the scorpion dragon beasts fell in blood.

With the left crossbow and right hammer of the Trap Giant, the number of scorpion drakemons under the city decreased rapidly, and then a scream was released. Behind the herd of beasts, a giant scorpion dragon beast with a body several times larger than the previous ones suddenly rushed out.

In front of the Trap Giant, the giant scorpion drake beast stood on its hind legs, and its two front paws raised and pounced like a human. Buckled over the shoulders of the Mechanic Giant.

The giant scorpion drake beast had been following behind the herd, its scale armor was similar to the color of the grass, and it was mixed in the middle of hundreds of its kind, and the people in the city did not notice that when they saw this scorpion drake beast standing upright, it was almost the same as the mechanism giant, and all the soldiers in the city were afraid.

The yellow-robed cultivator looked back at the tall man standing still, and a smile appeared on the faces of the two of them.

"This trip was not in vain, but I actually encountered a demon king-level beast, which is just right for us to practice. The yellow-robed cultivator said excitedly.
