Chapter 41: A Trip to the Imperial Kingdom
Xiao Shui and Qi Yan shuttled through the Taiyu Kingdom under the hot sun, all the way, the monsters could not be killed, the more people went to the place where there were more monsters, and some cities did not even have guards, and the city was full of white bones and rivers.
Xiao Shui and Qi Yan came to a city, a gust of wind blew, and the air was mixed with a fishy smell, Xiao Shui covered his nose and said, "What smells so bad?" It smells rancid."
Qi Yan stood in place, sniffing carefully, his eyes changed greatly: "It's the smell of the dead, we have been walking for most of the day, we should be on the official road outside the city, but there is no one here."
"Are they all hiding, there are still so many monsters in a deserted place, let alone in the city"
"Absolutely not, you see" Qi Yan took out the map he carried with him, this is the map that Yun Yang gave him when they separated, Yun Yang described it in detail, detailed to where there are trees in a city, how many there are, Qi Yan pointed to one place and said: "Look, we should be here, Gancheng" Xiao Shui looked along the place Qi Yan pointed to, and sure enough, it was the same as the place where they stood, there were four sea buckthorn trees, Qi Yan continued: "Gancheng is located on the border of the Taiyu Kingdom, and the monsters must pass through to invade the Yun Clan, this city has been slaughtered, This rancid smell is the smell of rotten corpses."
Xiao Shui was shocked: "How come? Aren't youkai eating people?"
"Taiyu people are good at poison, they feed on poisonous snakes all year round, their bodies are poisonous, ordinary little monsters will not eat, and Taiyu is a country of drought and desert, the weather is hot, so there is a smell, it is not difficult to explain, go in and see"
The two checked the location on the map and confirmed that it should be at the entrance of the city, so there was no one, and the two continued to walk inside, and there were more houses and shops.
"Blood" Xiaoshui suddenly shouted "There is blood there" The blood on the open door stained the rice paper on it, Qi Yan reached out and touched it, raised his legs and walked in, there were four or five people with broken throats lying inside, the corpses were already rotting, Qi Yan said in a deep voice: "I really guessed correctly, the blood on the door has dried up, the door is wide open, it means that the monster came suddenly, and the corpse is rotting to show that it has been a long time since the monster invasion, Yun Zhan went to Shu Mountain to seek support, and Gancheng is located on the border, which means that the monster slaughtered Gancheng first, causing panic, and Shu Mountain on Yun Zhan." Let's get out of here, there's no more monsters in this city."
Sure enough, the further you go inside, the heavier the smell inside becomes, and when you get to the middle of the city, the corpses directly block the way out of the city, and they are all bitten off their necks, which is really a fatal move, and the blood of people converges into a river that dyes the whole road red, Xiaoshui can't stand the smell, pulls the strip of cloth and covers his nose, and says with difficulty: "Why don't you burn these corpses, it's not good to stay here"
Qi Yan said indifferently: "The monsters are menacing, it is estimated that all the soldiers will be used to protect those cities that have not yet invaded, after all, once the monsters break through the outermost city, the danger is the imperial capital, there is still energy to take care of these destroyed cities, the monsters are menacing, and the poison of the Yunshi clan cannot suppress them."
Xiao Shui was surprised, and said worriedly: "Well, then let's hurry up and find the second senior brother and them, I don't know what happened to them."
Qi Yan nodded: "Well, no matter what, you have to hurry out of the city, it stinks too much here."
Qi Yan and Xiaoshui quickly left the city, because there were still many monsters on the road, even if they were in a hurry and Mo Qi, they didn't dare to go directly to them, after all, the monsters were killing one and missing one.
It's getting dark, Xiao Shui rubbed her sore arm, her arm hasn't stopped since she entered the Taiyu Kingdom, fortunately it's a good sword, you can use mind control to solve the monster, otherwise this arm would have been scrapped a long time ago, but in the past few days, the arm can't stand it up and down.
"Be careful" Qi Yan passed a sword through the centipede essence who wanted to sneak attack Xiaoshui, Qi Yan's sword passed directly through the centipede essence's heart, the centipede essence must have just cultivated into a refinement, the tentacles of the whole body trembled a few times, and he didn't struggle much, and directly pointed the tentacles to the ground. Xiao Shui smelled a pungent smell behind him, looked back at a centipede essence, and a long ravine sank into the sand behind him, which should be ambushed in the sand and prepared to sneak attack her, this monster is quite smart, but Qi Yan's sword is too powerful, and the black blood on the monster's body splashed Xiao Shui's body, Xiao Shui covered his nose, and wiped the blood on his clothes in distress "It's too stinky"
Qi Yan put away his sword and said distressedly: "You can't be vigilant, you can still be attacked by monsters with a fox, if it weren't for my quick hand, the consequences are really unimaginable"
Xiaoshui said tiredly: "I'm almost exhausted, I can't lift my arms, there are monsters in front, there is a sneak attack in the back, how do you look at it?"
Guo'er yawned on Xiao Shui's shoulder and said, "It's just that they're almost sleepy."
Qi Yan glanced at Guo'er helplessly, Xiao Shui lifted its legs and put it on the ground, patted his shoulder and said, "You are really getting heavier and heavier."
Guo'er immediately jumped on Qi Yan's shoulder, and Qi Yan waved his hand and threw it directly on the ground, "You are the most lazy, let you look at the monster and you are lazy"
Xiao Shui also echoed and threatened: "In the future, if you go by yourself, I won't be able to take you with me" Xiao Shui obviously felt that the left shoulder was a little shorter than the right shoulder compared to his left and right shoulders, it must be because Guo'er often lay on its left shoulder, Xiao Shui made a sword with his right hand, and made a move, Guo'er was afraid that she would throw it out as soon as she threw it out, so she lay on her left shoulder, and she didn't even wait for the cloth bag that Ji Yan sewed, saying that it was too hot.
"I don't, what if a monster runs out of the ground? I'm so small, I'm sure I'll not be able to eat a bite," he said and obediently got into his cloth bag.
Xiao Shui looked around, even though the sky was dark, and the running monsters were faintly visible in the desert sand, and sighed: "There are still so many monsters here, what should the other people of the Taiyu Kingdom do?" Second Senior Brother, how did they deal with it?"
Qi Yan comforted: "Don't worry"
"What should we do now, they are all monsters, and there is no place to rest around, I'm really sleepy" Xiaoshui rubbed her eyes, it was difficult to fight all night, she didn't have the energy.
After a few days, except for Guo'er Qi Yan and Xiaoshui, Qi Yan didn't have much rest, Qi Yan looked around, full of yellow sand, there was no place to live, if there were no monsters around here, and the centipede essence that came out of the ground at any time, it was nothing to sleep in the yellow sand, but now I couldn't take out the map again, and said slowly: "There is a town a hundred miles away, let's go over, you hold on for a while."
At this time, it is only a day away from leaving Gancheng, and the town next to it is probably not much better, it is estimated that it is also an empty city, sure enough, when Qi Yan and Xiaoshui arrived, it was already the second half of the night, the whole town was dark, there was no light of a candle, lifeless, better than Gancheng was that you could still hear the screams of monsters inside, the wind was blowing, the monsters seemed to be screaming in their ears, Xiaoshui rubbed his nose and sighed: "The rancid smell in this is not inferior to Gancheng at all, pity the people of a city, how cruel is the position of the co-master of the Six Realms, It's been hundreds of years, and the most pitiful people are still the people of Limin, people like my mother, I must cultivate to become an immortal, have supreme mana, and save the people in the world."
Qi Yan smiled slightly, "Your book of life and death is still in the hands of others, let's save yourself first" Qi Yan is most worried about Xiaoshui's book of life and death, the gods can change the main book, then the person who wants to go to Xiaoshui's master book must not be a god, but if it is not a person from the god realm, who has the ability to reunite the wandering soul, the demon and the demon are already standing on the front line, the fox emperor and the fox queen used to be a god, but they invaded the world one is for the Puluo grass on Mo Qi's body and saves their daughter's life, and the other is for the heart of the Hundred Flowers Soul, with the heart of the Hundred Flowers Soul, there is a divine power that can pass through the Six Realms, can save their children, obviously not the fox emperor and the fox queen, the magic power of the demon zun must be better than the god clan, could it be him, the demon zun just wants to sit in the position of the co-lord of heaven and earth, how can it be him, if it is not a god people, except for the people of the god clan, writing in the life and death book of people who do not belong to this realm will be counterattacked If it is not really for the blood of Xiao Shui, I want to know her true identity by consulting the life and death book, then the people of the god clan can be excluded, the most likely is the demon emperor and queen, but right now, The enchantment between the human world and the demon world was sealed, and the emperor and queen of the demon clan didn't know about Xiao Shui, Qi Yan had a headache, who was it, and why did Xiao Shui have a book of life and death.
Xiao Shui smiled indifferently and said gently: "The Book of Life and Death can rewrite my calamity experience, but no matter what that person wants to do, it can't determine my final result, so I have to give my soul and soul to the Emperor of the Underworld, this is called just in case."
Qi Yan smiled dumbly: "You are not afraid, the Emperor of the Underworld will detain your soul, so that you will not be able to experience reincarnation, and you will stay in the underworld forever."
Xiao Shui smiled: "That's good."
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, and unconsciously lost his voice, "Okay?" ”
"So I can remember you forever"
"Aren't you going to become an immortal? I'm willing to stay in the underworld and be a ghost."
"Immortals and ghosts are no different, as long as you can save the people, you can have more powerful mana if you want to become an immortal, if you can't be a ghost, you can always remember you, as long as the demon doesn't kill me."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will take over the Thousand Killings Palace, I will definitely protect you, and I will definitely bring back your soul and soul."
"I'll wait for you," Qi Yan frowned, as if he had lost a soul, Xiao Shui comforted him, "Don't worry, I don't think the Emperor of the Dead will do anything to me, he is also a poor person, but the Emperor of Heaven refuses to fulfill him"
Qi Yan said helplessly: "You can see it"
Xiao Shui shook his arm and said, "Let's go, I'm almost sleepy"
"Be careful, there's a youkai in town"
Xiao Shui is not afraid, when Ruan Zhi was leaving, she secretly gave Xiao Shui a lot of medicines that could cover up the smell on her body and prevent the monsters from smelling her, according to Ruan Zhi, it was temporarily prepared by her father, Xiao Shui couldn't wait to catch the monsters along the way, so she thought that the monsters came to her, but she didn't use it, and she found a place to sleep at this time, just to use it.
Qi Yan found a house at the end of the town, relatively closed, the bedding and beds inside are very clean, but it is a little dusty, there is no house within dozens of meters, and the surroundings are empty, so that you can hear the sounds around clearly, if there are monsters approaching, you can see it immediately.
Qi Yan asked Xiao Shui to go to sleep first, he guarded the surroundings, Xiao Shui and Yi lay on the bed, put Guo'er at the head of the bed, Guo'er was already asleep, gently covered it with a quilt, took out the medicine given by Ruan Zhi, opened the lid and a faint fragrance, before touching his body, Guo'er next to him turned over, curled up with his paws and shrunk together, Xiao Shui was afraid that it would turn over and fall down in the middle of the night, so he moved it inside, poured the medicine powder on his body, and then lay down.
