Chapter 146: White Horse City
I don't know how long I fell asleep, I felt my face wet, and in my ears, there seemed to be the sound of running water, and I struggled to open my eyes, and a tiger's face hung in front of me, startling me, and quickly shrunk back.
"Meow!"
When I looked closely, it turned out to be Lynx Fourteen, and I breathed a sigh of relief, sat up from the ground, and looked around.
I was no longer on the branches, but in a grass nest by the river, the sun rose high, I looked at the watch, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, the watch could still be used normally in the demon world, my throat was thirsty, as if it was on fire, I didn't speak, so I crawled to the river, wanted to drink water, just turned over and lay down, a sharp pain in my chest came, and I hurriedly lay down again.
Something is wrong, the injury should have recovered a long time ago, and there is no pain in the legs and shoulders, but a little dizzy, why does the chest still hurt?
The lynx circled around me anxiously, I looked up at the sky, slowed down, tore open the placket to check, it turned out that a rib was broken, and the flesh was pierced, hindering the recovery, I thought about it, just go back, the rib is very elastic, and it will be spent again, even if I have the ability to heal quickly, I have to find a splint to fix it.
Don't worry about it for now, the top priority is to drink the water in the river, solve the livelihood problem, and heal quickly without money! It's also very energy-intensive! I had another serious wound on my leg, and after healing, I had already collapsed.
After two minutes of slowing down, but still unable to move, I looked at the water dripping from the lynx's tongue and pointed to the water's edge: "Go get me some water to drink!" β
The lynx tilted its head and meowed, how to get it, it had no hands.
I touched the lynx's mouth: "Hold." β
The lynx frowned, not knowing whether it disliked me or was afraid that I would dislike it.
"Let's go!" I urged, out of these two sentences, I was already tired, and if I stayed for a while, I couldn't make a sound.
The lynx walked to the river step by step, and when it drank water, I realized that things were not so simple, it would not drink water like humans, but lick it with its tongue, and in this way, it could not store water in its mouth, and the lynx was really trying to lick it one bite after another, but the water went directly into its stomach.
I sighed, beckoned it back again, and weakly said, "You still get me to the river." β
If it had a way to get me off the tree, did it fall? Sure enough, the lynx leaned over and grabbed the belt of my robeβit was the moon in the well, I don't know when it came backβand carried me to the surface of the water, and gently placed it on the ground, just enough for my mouth to reach the river, and I lay on my side, holding the cool water in my hand, and took a few big sips, and a sense of comfort ran through my body, feeling that every cell in my body was desperately sucking water molecules.
After I had enough to drink, I sat up with the lynx and looked left and right, and it was still in the woods, but there were no trees by the river, and the sun could be seen.
"Go get me some branches, fingers thick." I gestured, and the lynx nodded, and ran away, and came back in a short time, bringing in a number of branches.
I took out the well moon, shook it, cut the branches, made a pair of splints, compared it in front of my chest, it was okay, I took a deep breath, endured the pain, put the rib back that branched out, groped to reset it, and then fixed the chest back with the splint back and forth, and strangled it with a strip of cloth, the sternum had no room to move, and I could only use abdominal breathing.
After treating the wound, I leaned on the lynx, waiting for it to heal, there was a feeling that I had just smeared the two objects with glue, glued together, waiting for them to dry, I smiled self-deprecatingly, although my strength is very vegetable, but it has this special function, it is also very good, but it is a little painful.
The bone wound healed slowly, and after half an hour, the ribs grew back and the skin and flesh on the outside were repaired as new, so I removed the splint and slowly tested it with deep breaths to confirm that it was completely recovered, and then dared to get up.
The lynx was excited, circled around me, and looked at me with an admiring gaze.
I touched its furry head: "It's good when you can become a human, otherwise, I will have to save myself." β
The lynx put its ear to its neck and looked at me bitterly.
"It's not good, I've become a human, what else am I riding?" I said to myself, turned over and got on the lynx, "Let's go, go to White Horse City." β
"Meow?" The lynx turned to look at me.
ββ¦β¦ Get out of the forest first. "I said helplessly, White Horse City should be the realm of the White Tiger Country, why? Because there is a white letter.
There is the sun, you can use the watch to calculate the direction - the time is aimed at the sun, and the direction at three o'clock is due west, we are coming out of the east gate of Dragon City, and it is right to go west.
Away from the water's edge, and into the gloomy woods, I felt that in the dark, there were always all kinds of inexplicable beasts staring at me, occasionally, I could see their figures passing by, the clearest time, I saw a big bat hanging upside down on the branch, two wings holding the chest, more than a meter long, revealing a mouse-like head, and fangs on the side of the mouth, it may be a vampire bat in the legend, but it is sleeping, there are meat pads under the feet of the lynx, walking silently, bypassing the bat, continue walking, walking for more than a while, finally out of the forest.
In front of me, another grassland, there are a few white buildings similar to yurts standing faintly on the grassland, and when the lynx runs over, I take a closer look, it is not a yurt, but a tomb, which is piled up with white stones, surrounded by strips of flower cloth, and there is a stone monument in front of the tomb.
Sure enough, it is the territory of the White Tiger Country, and there is an epitaph on the tombstone, to the effect that the soldiers of the White Tiger Country who died on the border are here, and they are hereby commemorated, and it is a collective tomb.
Passing through the tomb area, further on, there is a forest, not so dark, quickly passed, a very long city wall suddenly appeared in front, running through the north and south, there is no end in sight, is this the Great Wall of the demon world, used to resist the Qinglong Kingdom?
We ran under the city wall, which was made of green bricks, filled with mud and sand in the cracks, and had a rough appearance, nearly ten meters high.
I got off the lynx and asked it, "Can you go up yourself?" β
The lynx looked up, took a few steps back, ran and jumped, successfully pounced on the wall, secured it with its claws, and slowly climbed up.
"Alright, alright, come down." I, as long as I can go up, I feel that it is very difficult to climb, after all, the city wall is not a tree trunk, it is not easy to grasp, and it will be difficult to take me up.
I went back to the woods, used the moon in the well as a knife, cut some branches, and made a large rattan more than ten meters long, so that the lynx took one end in its mouth and climbed up the city wall, the lynx was very smart, it knotted, and wrapped the rattan around the wall battlement, and I climbed up along the rattan.
As soon as I turned over the battlements, suddenly, a cold slapped on my neck, it was a sword!
I quickly raised my hand and turned around slowly, it was two people, no, two humanoid demons, wearing silver-white armor, staring at me coldly, one with a sword on my neck, the other on the lynx's neck, the lynx knew that I was climbing the city wall just now, so I didn't resist, probably afraid that if I couldn't beat the enemy, the enemy would cut the rope and throw me down.
"Two stupid guys, don't get me wrong, I'm a friend of Princess Wu Mei!" I tried to use their demon language as much as I could, laughing.
The two warriors glanced at each other, but they understood, and they put their swords into their sheaths.
"You're Lord Chen?" One of them asked.
"Do you know Mandarin?" I asked with a smile.
The warrior nodded: "I am the imperial guard of the White Tiger Kingdom Palace, and I am specially waiting for Lord Chen here on the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
This demon's Mandarin is still very standard, and he may have been trained.
"How did you know I was here?" I asked.
The imperial guard raised his hand and pointed in the direction we came: "If you come from the Blue Dragon Country, you must pass through this city wall before you can truly enter the White Tiger Country. β
I looked left and right, and the top of the wall was a flat surface, very wide, like a jade belt, hanging on the border, not far away, and in the distance, there were some warriors who also wore silver and white armor, but they were all standing behind the high battlements, through the shooting holes, secretly observing the movement on the other side of the woods.
"Have you seen Master Li?" I asked the guard again.
"Lord Li Xu'er?"
"Yes."
"Lord Li arrived here before noon, and has now rushed to White Horse City." The guard replied.
"Is she hurt?" I hurriedly asked, no matter how high the skill is, it is inevitable that there will be times when the horse stumbles.
The guard looked at the other soldier, who said something in Cantonese, and the guard relayed, "The wound is not serious." β
I nodded, that shouldn't be a big deal.
"My lord, where is White Horse City?" I asked again.
The guard pointed to the southwest: "A hundred miles away, there is a battle near White Horse City, and I will accompany Master Li over." β
"And who's going to defend here?" I asked.
"Own border army defense." The guards untied their armor, it turned out that he still had clothes inside, high-end cloth of brocade, and a white tiger head embroidered on his chest, which should be his uniform as a royal guard, and the armor was for the border army.
I followed the two guards down the city wall, got on a carriage, no, it should be called a deer cart, the cart is pulled by two big elk, the shoulder height is more than two meters, the antlers are like a cluster of big flowers, extremely bright, the driver is actually a big horse monkey wearing human clothes, is the horse monkey in the demon world a full-time driver?
I got into the car with the lynx, the convertible, like an uncovered coffin, the inside was very spacious, and the lynx was tired and fell asleep.
There were more than two guards, a total of eighteen men, all of whom had taken off their armor and wore brocade uniforms, and they gathered together, rode on tall horses, and followed around the elk cart, and marched together towards the White Horse City.
The carriages and deer were very fast, and in an hour, I saw a huge city a kilometer ahead, with smoke billowing and sometimes exploding, and it was indeed a war.
The chief of the guard patted his horse and accompanied me, frowning and said, "Lord Li, the Qinglong Kingdom is attacking the city, I'm afraid it won't be able to get through." β
"Can you take a detour?" I asked, and the captain shook his head.
I was just going to go in, but suddenly, from the sky above White Horse City, a huge black shadow flew over, and the horse team here immediately became furious, and jumped forward and backward to avoid the woods on the side of the road, is it the enemy's air force? ...
