Chapter 251: Two Calamities
Man is always cruel and gluttonous, and man's greed can last a lifetime. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
cravings for breast milk as a child; the desire for gold and power when he grows up; and the desire of the evil spirits who do not stop resenting and greedy enough after death to the flesh of the living.
The immortal under the bright moon in the desert is a testament to human greed, even if they can no longer breathe and no longer have feelings, but their love for fresh meat will never stop, and the meat foam in their mouths is proof of the crime.
At this time, the snowstorm that had shrouded Tianshui City for two days finally dispersed, and a bright moon hung high, and the moonlight sprinkled into the city, and the cold light illuminated the broken corpses all over the city.
The city had already been breached by the ruthless Yelang, and countless soldiers who had died in battle were half-leaning on the city wall, holding their blades in their stiff hands and still refusing to let go.
The blood on the bloody blade had dried up, and on the broken hole in the Tianshui city wall, from time to time there were still a few pieces of debris that turned their heads and fell down by the wind, and the whole city was quiet, and there was no sound at all.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem—" The only survivor, the city lord of Tianshui City, stood on the city gate tower with the spear broken in his hand, and his back did not fall to the ground and looked at the devastation under him.
He has seen countless cities breached, countless creatures destroyed and slaughtered so far. He guarded one side, alone on the border of the Northland, in fact, he had already had the consciousness of the horse leather shroud, he had imagined in his heart more than once that he was defeated by the barbarians who went south to plunder, as a bloody soldier, he even had some longing and yes in his heart.
However, he guessed that the enemy would sweep from the north, but he never thought that the enemy would defeat him with basic teeth and nails.
"Woo-" A stiff corpse had fallen behind him, with a large hole in its stomach and intestines running all over the ground, but now it made a strange noise in its throat, and then slowly rose from the ground.
"Damn it...... Brute! With the last of his strength, the general smashed the corpse's head with a single spear, but he himself fell to the ground from exhaustion.
Like a clarion call, there was suddenly a lot of movement in the already lifeless city—the corpses lying on the ground all got up from the ground with trembling throats at this moment, and a new army of the undead was formed again at this moment.
"Hmph-" Listening to the growing movement under the city tower, the city lord smiled bitterly, the whole person seemed to be much older at that moment, he originally wanted to struggle to get up from the ground, but this mutilated body no longer allowed him to do so.
He only felt a heart-piercing cramp in his heart, and quickly took off his heart guard to look, and saw a small dark red seedling, which had already drilled through his flesh and exposed.
The two seemingly weak leaf petals were originally stained with a little blood, and the leaves were instantly absorbed into it, and the city lord was tormented by this strange plant and wanted to pull it out with his hands, but as soon as he touched the young seedlings, it was like touching his own heart, and he couldn't help but retract his hand.
"Ahhh The plant, which grew on the chest and was rooted in the heart and lungs, began to greedily suck the man's flesh and blood, causing him great pain.
In the midst of the pain, the weather-beaten general could not withstand it at all, and was sucked into a human appearance little by little, and then the primordial hunger tide rushed into his head, crushing the iron will he had cultivated for more than thirty years......
"Roar-grunt-" saliva overflowed from the castle lord's mouth, and by this time he had already followed in his footsteps, and was forever a hungry slave.
Loud roars and screams spread from the Tianshui City Tower, and continued until the clear moonlit night, and finally a lost raven was startled at the edge of the city.
Under the same bright moon, in the same northwest desert, Shi Lixun and his party also fell into a crisis amid the shouts of the earth-shattering Yelang.
Although Shi Lixun was forced to cut a fast horse because of the reckless attack of Hu Yanlan and others, but in the end, six people and five horses, plus Hu Yanlan was just a weak little woman, no matter what, Shi Lixun and they could use the fast horse to leave those slow-moving Yelang far behind.
However, at the moment of the catastrophe, with such a scale of Yelang coming, it was not only Shi Lixun and the others who could notice it, but also the villagers in the original village who noticed it.
And although the villagers are weak, they are not stupid enough to go limp and wait for death on the spot.
So when Li Yin and Hu Yanhu arrived at the stable, their horses were already surrounded by a group of young and strong villagers.
Many of the villagers tried to get on the saddle and drive the horses away, but how did these peasants, who had worked with the land all their lives, know how to drive their horses? Not long after, seven or eight people rolled off the saddle, and three or four of them were mercilessly trampled by the horses' hooves, and they vomited blood for a while.
"Hey! What are you doing! These are our horses! Huyanhu was rough, and he cared about the safety of his master, and he was naturally not happy to see someone robbing a horse, so he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and was about to retreat these hillbillies with powerlessness.
But this reckless Huyanhu still saw too little war, after all, at this critical moment of life and death, no one would obediently cut off their chances of survival, even the farmers who usually seemed gentle and honest.
Think about it, in the years of war, those who occupy the mountains as kings and go around robbing houses and houses, aren't they these farmers who want to survive?
"Hey! Brothers! Don't-" Li Yin originally wanted to persuade Hu Yanhu to come, but that guy couldn't pull back ten cows when he came up, Hu Yanhu broke free of Li Yin with his brute strength, and rushed directly into the crowd.
I saw that he was holding a big knife in his hand and slashing left and right (of course, only with the back of the knife), and slashed three or four peasants fiercely, and shouted with a fierce face, "You all get out of here!" These are our horses! If you don't want to die, hurry up! ”
But this time, after the crowd quieted down for a while, they made a noise here, and the troubled peasants did not retreat as imaginatively as Hu Yanhu, but became more irritable as Li Yin estimated, and soon this irritability became an uncontrollable turmoil, since Hu Yanhu provoked the anger of the public, people naturally would not let him go easily, and some of the insidious ones secretly sandwiched a few yin knives between their fists and feet, and it didn't take long for Hu Yanhu to cry bitterly.
Soon, the rioting crowd launched a sufficient siege on Huyanhu, which made him have to show his blade and start defending himself, and he also relied on his own strength to cut down a few farmers who were not long-eyed, and finally got out with Li Yin's help.
At this time, the two of them no longer dared to fight against the irritable crowd, so they could only helplessly look back at their horses being scrambled, and then retreat to Shi Lixun's side.
