Chapter 240: Achilles' heel
The night sky seemed to be covered with a black veil, gloomy and gloomy like ink that could not be dissolved.
The entire city of Matsuma was empty, the streets were full of broken walls, and a few undestroyed jack-o-lanterns released a dim yellow light that reflected the devastated city.
Two blurred shadows weave through the ruins.
Yan Hai walked ahead, he had lived in Matsuma Castle for many years, even if the city was already in ruins, he was still familiar with it.
Since refining the blood crystal that Tian Kuan handed over to him on the day of the fight, he successfully condensed the blood streak and became a true blood cultivator. Tian Kuan also taught him a few hands [Shadowless], which made his strength skyrocket.
The unprecedented strength in his body made him full of confidence, not to mention that there were adults behind him.
He wandered between them, and his surroundings were distorted, as if a thin shadow hung over him, blending in with the night around him, making it difficult to detect.
They stopped and flickered, avoiding Yuan Xiu, who was patrolling along the way.
It's here.
Yan Hai stopped and looked up at the towering wall. The walls are covered with dense vegetation, and this is the most intact place in Matsuma Castle except for the castle lord's mansion, the wounded barracks.
Yan Hai gestured behind him, he was still cautious.
He had just condensed the blood vein, and his strength was much stronger than before, but the strength of Yuan Xiu, who was still alive in Songma City, was also not what it used to be. The No. 1 team of the courtyard and the thunder sword hui have been spreading even more recently, and the scene of thunder and lightning that day also made him almost paralyzed in fright at that time. Later, I remembered that I was also worried in my heart, worried that if I was not careful, I might lose my life.
It's not just himself who is nervous, the adults didn't think much of the Yuan Xiu in the city at first, and now their attitude has become much more jealous.
But the adults deserved to be killed from the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, and found the weakness of Matsuma Castle at a glance.
If the plan can be successful. The situation in Matsuma Castle will change immediately.
Yan Hai felt that the possibility of the plan succeeding was very high, and when he thought of this, his heart was hot.
The wounded barracks with a high wall were used to isolate the injured Yuan Xiu, and thousands of injured Yuan Xiu infected with blood poison were imprisoned inside. For these Yuan Xiu, the City Lord's Mansion is also a headache. There is no cure for the blood poison at this time, and these wounded can neither be killed nor left unattended, but can only isolate them to avoid causing a greater spread.
There was no way but to delay, and everyone could only hope that the Council of Elders would find a cure for the blood poison sooner.
The quarantine area is heavily guarded, but it is all aimed at possible blood beasts and the wounded who are deeply poisoned. Matsuma Castle is short of manpower. Naturally, there were not too many people to take care of the wounded. In order to be able to take care of so many wounded with fewer men, the camp was completely enclosed, surrounded by high walls and thick vine domes, isolating them from the outside world.
Surveillance plants and vines that could imprison the wounded grew all over the camp, and they were the most loyal sentinels, and if they found that the condition of one of the wounded had deteriorated and became fierce, the nearby vines would quickly entangle and imprison the wounded.
Take advantage of the vines that dot every corner. The three Mu Xiu were able to control the overall situation. The mad wounded have only the most primitive instincts. I don't know how to use my own strength, so it's not difficult to deal with.
On the contrary, there were a lot of Yuan Xiu patrolling around the wounded barracks, worried that there would be blood beasts that would suddenly appear and destroy the walls of the wounded barracks.
Yan Hai's task in the past few days is to find out the rules of the patrol team. The rest of the things don't have to be done by him.
Tian Kuan had two more green pills in his hand. He ate one himself, and handed the other to Yan Hai. Under Tian Kuan's gaze, Yan Hai took the pill hard.
Tian Kuan commanded in a low voice: "Use spiritual power to dissolve." ”
Yan Hai hurriedly activated the blood spiritual power in his body, and he was surprised to find that the red blood spiritual power in his body. It turned green. The faint blood qi around the body disappeared, and was replaced by a fresh vegetative scent.
Yan Hai's spirit was lifted, and the organization was really unfathomable!
There is such a good thing!
"You lead the way in front. Tian Kuan commanded in a low voice.
"Yes. ”
Yan Hai was awe-inspiring in his heart, and he didn't dare to hesitate and climbed along the outer wall. The vine bells that can be seen everywhere on the vines are as quiet as if they are asleep, and there is no sound.
Two shadows silently climbed the high wall and burrowed into the thick dome of vines.
Yan Hai felt extremely surprised, those dangerous and alert vines seemed to be invisible.
Adults must have been prepared!
He couldn't help but be full of anticipation, what will the adults do next?
The attic guarded by the three Muxiu of the wounded barracks was the center of the wounded barracks, and the windows were squeezed open by thick vines, and they condescended to monitor the wounded wandering in the courtyard below. It has the best view and a clear view of what is happening in the yard.
Countless vines hung down, like sharp poisonous snakes, entangled those wounded who were out of control at any time.
Yuan cultivators who have been poisoned by blood poison will gradually show symptoms of beasthood, and as the blood poison deepens, the degree of their beasthood will continue to deepen, and eventually they will lose their self-control and become beasts.
That would be the end of their lives.
Every day, someone is terminated, and the three Mu Xiu also went from being sad and unbearable at the beginning to being numb later.
What else can be done? Human life in a disaster is so small and humble.
Beyond the high walls, many people die every day, from the blood beasts. Within the high walls, many people also die every day, at the hands of their own people.
The coldest choice always comes from having no other choice.
Sun Ke watched as the snake-like vines rolled up a frantic wounded, and another sharp vine pierced the back of the wounded man's head like a sharp sword, and the terrifying blood in the wounded's eyes dimmed a little.
"We're probably the executioners of the wood repair. Sun Ke laughed at himself.
Wang Tong'an beside him muttered: "We are for their good." ”
"I know him, he's my neighbor, he's a good guy. Sun Ke's tone was even more astringent.
Wang Tongan didn't know how to comfort him.
"You don't have to comfort me. Sun Ke said to himself, looking down with a lost gaze: "I know what I'm doing, I really hope this disaster will pass soon." ”
Wang Tongan felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and changed the topic: "What do you want to do when you go out?"
"Start over. Sun Ke turned his face: "I don't want to be a wooden cultivator anymore." I used to cultivate the wood system because I didn't want to kill people, but I didn't expect to kill more people. ”
Wang Tongxin shuddered and patted Sun Ke's shoulder: "Same as my thoughts, do you want to take a break?"
"You go and rest first, I'll hold on for a while, and Xiao Zheng will wake up after a while." Sun Ke's face returned to normal: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." ”
Wang Tongan nodded: "Then I'll go first and rest later, and shout if there is a situation." ”
"Go, go, go. Sun Ke waved his hand.
Wang Tongan went to rest, and Sun Ke paid attention to the following situation alone. The three of them guarded such a large wounded barracks, even with so many vines, it was still very hard.
They also wanted to apply for additional staff, but their request was denied. Yuan Xiu's casualties were very large, and the shortage of manpower was very serious, and he was unable to send people at all.
Now everyone also knows that there is no cure for being infected with blood poison, and many Yuan Xiu who are injured will choose to die with the blood beast. The number of wounded soldiers sent to the wounded barracks has recently plummeted, which has made the three of them more than supportable.
Sun Ke's attention was all below, and he didn't notice the danger quietly approaching from above.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Wang Zhen looked at Ai Hui, this was the first time Ai Hui took the initiative to go to the City Lord's Mansion. Ai Hui took the initiative to ask for many details about the "City as Cloth" project, and expressed his desire to help.
"Shouchuan has taken in a good apprentice. Wang Zhen praised.
He is not polite, Ai Hui went to visit Wang Shouchuan, and someone under him had already reported.
In Wang Zhen's impression, Ai Hui is a very capable and talented young man, but his personality is quite dull, not like a young man at all, but like an old fritter who has been in the mix for many years, and will never take the initiative to take care of things. Not only will he not be able to take care of things, but even the tasks assigned to him must be bargained, and he is willing to do it only after he has earned enough benefits.
For Ai Hui, Wang Zhen has always had a headache.
It's just that Ai Hui's performance is getting better and better, and his reputation is getting higher and higher, and Wang Zhen can't be hard.
I didn't expect Ai Hui to offer to help today, Wang Zhen knew that the other party was completely aimed at Wang Shouchuan. But it can also be seen from this point that the relationship between Ai Hui and his master Wang Shouchuan is very deep.
As long as Ai Hui is willing to help, that's the best.
Shi Xueman, who was beside Ai Hui, couldn't help but turn his face and glance at Ai Hui, only to know that there was so much inside information.
"With your help, our progress will definitely be accelerated. Wang Zhen was not polite, and said directly: "Our golden needles are almost finished, and the next task is to nail the nine golden needles into the designated position." These locations are the nodes of the Matsuma Heaven and Earth Yuan Force, and once these nodes are activated, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force will change throughout the vicinity of Matsuma Castle. That is, once we start nailing the first gold pin, the interval between the subsequent gold needles cannot be more than a day. ”
"So the city lord wants to start with the most difficult position first?" Ai Hui asked.
Wang Zhen showed appreciation: "Sure enough, he is a smart person." That's right, it's hard and then easy, and our risk is relatively small. It's okay if the first golden needle takes a few more days to succeed, but once the first golden needle is nailed, we can't make any more mistakes in the future. So the first golden needle must be the most difficult position. ”
"I'm willing to go. Ai Hui said without hesitation.
"Team No. 1 is willing to go. Shi Xueman, who was beside him, also said without hesitation.
"Then I will entrust you with the most difficult task. Wang Zhen walked to the map of Matsuma Castle and pointed to a point on the map: "You drive the golden needle into this place." There will be special craftsmen with you, and you will have to keep them safe and your own safety, and if the situation is critical, it doesn't matter if it is delayed for two days. If you are injured, we are also in danger with the eight golden needles in the back. ”
Shi Xueman saw the point on the map, and his eyes suddenly froze.
That's the location, the sinkhole!
Ai Hui nodded expressionlessly: "Okay." (To be continued.) )
