When the day dawned, Li Yun woke up the sleeping girl and led her on the road in a hurry.

He had stolen a lean horse from the stable and galloped northwest.

The wind and smoke were filled, and the sand and stones were blowing so that Ding Ruoyu couldn't open his eyes. She grabbed Li Yun's shirt tightly, and the whole person shrunk into his snow-white cloak.

"Brother, brother......" she cried out unaccustomedly, "why so urgent? ”

"Because they're looking for me." Li Yun is not shy about his current situation, and he still has a calm smile on his lips, which does not look like he is fleeing at all.

"Why do you want you?" Ding Ruoyu asked again.

Li Yun sneered: "Because the prince of Yuguo was also thrown into the net by me. ”

Ding Ruoyu shuddered fiercely.

I was saved by a madman......

The Dead Soldier Battalion is common in the six major countries in the melee, and the most famous and cruel of them is the Xiyan Kingdom Dead Soldier Training Institution: Tianluo Earth Net.

The dead soldiers of Tianluo and Earth are responsible for assassinating dignitaries and dignitaries from various countries, each performing their own duties, with a clear purpose and no room for failure, and they are employed by the major forces of Xiyan, and they do not communicate with each other every time they receive a task. For them, failure is equivalent to death, and they are insane. There is also a small number of dead soldiers with special purposes, who will be selected into the Xiyan Kingdom Protector God Cult and directly serve the Xiyan Emperor Yan Longxing.

This madman sent the prince of Yuguo to the camp of the dead?

She suddenly recalled a rumor that the nobles of the major powers would secretly send their unfavored children to the net of heaven and earth for training, and then find opportunities to return to China to serve in the future. It's just that none of them have ever heard of anyone who can return alive.

After a while, they came to a foothill, and built a few huts at the foot of the mountain, next to the stables, and hung the flag of the family emblem of Beiyu Mufu to mark their belonging. When Shenemav saw Li Yun dismounting, he hurriedly rushed forward and bowed.

"Fifth Master Li, why are you here?"

Li Yun didn't answer, but pointed to the stable and said, "Pick the fastest horse." ”

"Yes, Fifth Master." The groom Lao Mu replied respectfully, took out a jujube red horse, set up the horse pier, Li Yun raised his feet and got on the horse, and stretched out his hand to pull Ding Ruoyu in front of him. He then swung his whip, and the steed galloped like an arrow.

Li Yun's body was getting colder and colder, and Ding Ruoyu was stunned, feeling as if he was next to a corpse.

"Am I getting cold to you?" The breath of the young man behind him was gentle in his ears, but even his breath was cold.

"This ...... Brother ......" Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but shrink even smaller when he heard him ask.

"Soon to the territory of the Yan Country." Li Yun's voice became cold and clear again, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes.

Ding Ruoyu was jolting on the horse, and from time to time there was a faint smell of smoke on his clothes around him. Even as his body became colder and colder, he gradually fell into a drowsy dream.

When it was dark, under the cover of night, they stepped into the territory of Xiyan Kingdom. The journey went smoothly, and seeing that the way to the market was still far away, he planned to spend the night in the red willow forest in front of him.

Xiyan is a large country in the Western Regions, bordering the Central Plains Yu Kingdom, with similar customs and people, but the system is not the same. The country firmly believes in the witch god, the two emperors stand side by side, and the wizard has a very high status. There are many witch cultists in the country, and they are even more than the court. Ding Ruoyu had heard from the story described by his mother that the main flame of the Witch Cult was called the Witch Emperor, a demon-like figure, and his magic could even call the wind and rain and change the color of the heavens and the earth.

Since stepping into the territory of Xiyan Kingdom, Li Yun has become more and more silent. occasionally closes his eyes to recuperate, and he doesn't even look at Ding Ruoyu. Ding Ruoyu thought that he must have been tired from running around for days, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and fell asleep leaning against the trunk of the tree and watching the jumping bonfire.

In the middle of the night, she was suddenly woken up by a noisy footsteps, and as soon as she opened her eyes and shouted "brother", she was stunned by the palm of the young man who was blocking her.

One hundred and ten sturdy men in fiery red cloaks in front of them slowly formed a half-moon shape and gradually approached, and the leader suddenly lifted his cloak and hat, with a grim face, looked directly at the young man and said, "My lord, please return to Agni City quickly!" ”

"Okay." The young man seemed to be thinking without thinking, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face, and he said indifferently: "What about the antidote, Mu Huo?" ”

"My lord," Mu Huo, who was in the fiery red cloak, was quite jealous of the young man, and although his eyes were cold, his tone softened, "Lord Witch Emperor and Princess Qizhu are looking for you everywhere, don't forget that the wedding date is approaching." ”

When he heard "Princess Qizhu", the young man's gloomy eyes seemed to ripple faintly, but in a moment he returned to indifference again. He raised his hand and brushed the folds on Liguang's sleeve and said casually, "I don't want to say it a second time." ”

"But......" The flaming cloak was about to say something more, when a crisp female voice interrupted him.

"Is it because you're dragging that little mouse?" A girl dressed in a red dress for twenty-eight years walked out proudly from the crowd, ripped off the cloak on her head, her delicate and beautiful face was tense at the moment, and she looked at the impatient Li Yun coldly.

The young man looked back at Ding Ruoyu, who had fainted behind him, in surprise, and smiled: "She is a distant relative of the Li Mansion, and her talent is acceptable, so it is just right to send her to the Heaven and Earth Net Trial." ”

The princess raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not believing: "Then why did you just knock her out?" ”

"The witch sect has made such a big battle, if it is spread by this unobstructed girl, won't my identity in Jiang Country be exposed?" Li Yun asked rhetorically, he knew the temperament of this princess, smiled slightly, strode forward, and reached out to gently wrap around her slender and graceful waist.

The girl who was surrounded by his gentle aura immediately felt that the sky was falling in front of her, so she nodded her noble and beautiful head, and said to the fiery red cloak: "Go back to Agni Fire City and send this little oil bottle to the Shura Field!" As for the antidote," she smiled playfully and mischievously, "I'll give it to you when I get home." ”

Li Yun watched as several red cloaks dragged the unconscious little girl away from the ground rudely, and her clear eyes were unassailable.

"Princess, please." He whispered, and in an instant, he completely diverted the attention of the girl in his arms.

Qi Zhu half leaned into his arms, his eyes were full of affection, but he still snorted coldly. She ordered someone to put on a wide red cloak, put it on for him personally, dressed up like everyone else, and whispered with a low smile: "You even forgot to bring the cloak, fortunately the palace remembers, otherwise after entering the imperial city, you will be surrounded by those sluts who don't know how high and low." ”

Li Yun smiled, but there was a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes, and he got on his horse and walked farther and farther away in the crowd.

Ding Ruoyu opened his eyes tiredly, and he was in severe pain. She looked down and found herself dressed in a gray cloth coat, and unconsciously exclaimed, "Brother! Brother, where are you? What's wrong? ”

No one answered, and the empty and helpless young voice echoed faintly, only a few cold rays of light swept across her face, counting as a response.

Ding Ruoyu trembled at the ferocious gaze of those beasts, immediately covered his mouth and looked around.

It was a small room, surrounded by dim torches from the pilasters. There were about 20 children about his own age crowded into the house, both men and women, and the smell was terrible. They were dressed in the same coarse gray clothes, some of them had been washed white, some were greasy and patched.

At this time, an eight or nine-year-old girl in the corner came quietly and squatted down in front of her. With a white face, a pointed chin, slender hands and feet, and a pair of cold and slender eyes, Ding Ruoyu has a strange sense of intimacy.

"What's the name of the newcomer?" The girl asked her with a sneer.

"Qiao, Qiao'er." Ding Ruoyu tried her best to make her voice appear natural.

The tall and thin girl nodded, and said, "How old are you?" ”

"Six-year-old ......," Ding Ruoyu replied timidly.

The girl wanted to ask something, but a high-pitched voice said impatiently: "Sister Sleepless, don't you teach her a hard lesson first like the usual newcomers, and let her know the rules of our Shura Field?" ”

The thin girl who was called sleepless glared back with a fierce face, "Who interrupted my question?" ”

As she spoke, she stood up, and everyone in the room did not dare to come out, and pointed to another girl. She approached the owner of the voice, punched and kicked her, and then threw a girl with a blue nose and swollen face who didn't even dare to exhale pain into the open space in the middle of the room, with a cold expression: "There will be a next time for you to see Hades." ”

After the sleepless fight, he took a breath, turned to Ding Ruoyu with a bright smile and said, "Don't be afraid, everything here is to listen to fists, just get used to it." ”

Ding Ruoyu shrank in the corner, trembling all over, listening to her words, but gradually calmed down after being desperate and frightened. As soon as she regained her senses, she knew that she couldn't escape, and she was no longer so afraid, and even a little more resolute. The last of her innocence before arriving here was gone, and she finally realized what she was in.

Xiyan Country, Dead Soldiers' Camp, Heaven and Earth Net, Shura Field...... It's purgatory within purgatory. There is no mercy or sympathy in this place, only to be the strongest can be above the crowd.

Ding Ruoyu didn't know how long she had been asleep before, but through the small skylight on the loess house, she could tell that it was dusk.

Sure enough, not long after, two men in black in their twenties opened the door with iron buckets to open the door for dinner, each with a steamed bun, a bowl of gruel and a dish.

The children originally lined up to receive the food in An'an, but when the dead man in black walked away, a fierce scramble began again.

Perhaps because of the domineering and ruthless Sleepless Sister in the small earthen house, they didn't dare to fight Ding Ruoyu's idea at this time. The other relatively weak children were robbed of their food, and they did not dare to cry loudly, so they could only hide in the corner and curl up and whimper.

At the beginning of the next day, all the children were woken up and rushed to the open field outside, where more than 1,000 people were densely packed under the guidance of the adult black-clothed dead man to exercise their muscles and bones, practice their fists and feet, and practice their internal breath and light skills, and only after an hour did they go to breakfast. After that, the whole day was a non-stop physical training, and there was no food at noon, and when it was time to return to the small mud house, they were again driven back to the small mud house, because they were still young, the men and women washed in one place, and the dinner was still the same as yesterday.

Ding Ruoyu was so tired that he came back to life. couldn't eat enough every day, and she had to insist on high-intensity training, and soon she became yellow and thin, and the beautiful little girl she looked like before was long gone.

Such a precarious day is three years in a flash. Ding Ruoyu's physique is not particularly good, during which there will be some children in the small earthen house from time to time who will die of illness or be beaten to death by others, and there are many who are strong and strong, but she has tried her best to support and survive until now.

At first, it shocked them the sleeplessness of a whole room of twenty people, and it didn't take long for them to be selected into the underground net palace that was higher than the level of the Shura Field. The biennial selection of the Diwang Palace is imminent, and the children in the small earth house are silent and secretly riveted to practice. They all knew that if they couldn't advance within five years, they would be given to the Xiyan nobles as slaves, with shackles and tattoos on their faces, and life would be worse than death.
