The lilac mist fills the mountains and valleys, as if they are virtual and real, as if they are completely blocked from the exploration of this place by outsiders, adding a mystery to this canyon.

It's called the Purple Mist Canyon, so named after the lilac mist that pervades the area.

In the depths of the Purple Mist Canyon, behind a strange rock and strange wood, there is a dark and winding passage. As we walked deeper along the passage, the interior gradually opened up, and the damp, claustrophobic, antiquity, and dreary atmosphere gradually increased, and bats in the air, blind fish in the shallow water, albino snakes with their vision closed by eye masks, and other similar creatures swam back and forth in the darkness. Most of them are ghostly pale in color, while others have been transformed into shadows since very early on.

The passage seemed to lead to the dark underground, but as the road deepened, after passing through countless forks in the road, some scattered phosphorus fire-like glow appeared in the darkness where you couldn't see your fingers. On closer inspection, the source of these blue and purple glow sources turned out to be clusters of strange luminous crystals.

Further down, the space underneath became more and more open, and the light became more colorful, and it turned out that more luminescent fungi joined the lighting in addition to these spectre crystals, bringing a soft shimmer and, depending on the species, emitting a pale blue or yellowish glow. Different light sources complement each other, illuminating the underground world.

Continuing to follow the labyrinthine passageway, a huge city towered in a huge underground space like an underground dome.

In contrast to the dark and primitive underworld, the buildings in this city are exquisite and gorgeous, full of culture and art, and the architectural decorations are even meticulously carved, including the walls and gates on the outside of the city are carved with intricate and ornate patterns. Glowing crystals and glowing fungi spread throughout the city, illuminating the entire city, the result of the deliberate arrangement of the city's inhabitants.

The love of light, complexity and magnificence, full of civilization and art, all this seems so abrupt in this underground world, but it is taken for granted.

Because the inhabitants of this city were not originally inhabitants of the underworld.

This generally good-looking, slender and tall race, rich in aura and wisdom, was originally a people of light. Each of them has a distinctive feathered pattern of light gold lines like light light on their foreheads, which is the hallmark of this race.

One of the two largest complexes in the city is the Temple of Creation.

Many of the youngsters, who have been selected for their best talents, are concentrated here to learn all the knowledge and skills they need for the future.

In a spacious side hall of the temple, three men and women of outstanding appearance were talking.

"Tiantong, you are about to become an adult, and every young person of our Black Wing Clan must pass a specific adult test in order to truly become an adult recognized by the public. Are you ready?" said the eldest woman of the three.

"Of course. Mother, I was ready for a long time. Long Tiantong, with the same black hair and purple eyes as her mother, but with a more arrogant and cold expression, the white and seductive ice muscle and jade bones seem to exude a moving shimmer against the background of the surrounding glittering light, breathtaking, charming and spiritual.

"No, Tiantong, you are different from others, you are my daughter, the current patriarch of the Blackwing Clan, the daughter of the Blackwing Mastermother, I hope you can inherit my position in the future, so, you must be better than others. Therefore, I will assign you a special adult examination that is more difficult than the adult examination of any ethnic group. Tiantong, you have to go through it. ”

"I'm confident. Long Tiantong said.

"Your," the Blackwing Mistress turned her head to look at the remaining male, "I'm going to accept Tiantong's learning." ”

"Yes. "The Ghost responded succinctly and forcefully.

Youer turned to look at Long Tiantong and said, "Black Wing Spirit Son Long Tiantong, you are not the only one in the Black Wing Clan, as long as you can pass the trial in front of the gods, any clan can become a Black Wing Spirit Son, and all Black Wing Spirit Sons have the right to inherit the position of Black Wing Patriarch." So even if you're the youngest Patriarch Inheritor in the history of the Blackwing Clan, or even in the history of our entire clan, you still have to do a better job if you want to truly defeat other competitors and inherit the position of Patriarch. ”

"I knew that others would question that my success came from my mother's nurturing and help. Long Tiantong snorted a little unhappily.

"yes, let's get started. And Ur said no more.

Long Tiantong and Youer stood in the center of the side hall, separated.

"You're going to have to hold on for 30 minutes under my attack. "Your said.

Long Tiantong pulled out a conceited smile.

"It's begun!" You'er shouted violently, and at the same time, his body swooped straight into Long Tiantong like an arrow from the string, and the thin black blades in the palms of his hands appeared silently, exuding a deadly aura.

Surprisingly, Long Tiantong did not take a defensive position, but rushed towards Youer at a faster speed, like a sharp blade that quenched poison, cold, sharp, and ruthlessly pierced the enemy's heart.

The handover of the close body was only for a moment, and the speed of the two was so fast that only two blurry figures were left, and they couldn't see the movements of the two people at all, and they couldn't even see the cold light of the blade, they could only hear a crisp sound of "Zheng", and the two figures were suddenly misseparated.

But no one paused, followed by a second wave of attacks, the two figures moved extremely fast, and the sound of the clashing blades continued to come out.

The Shadow Mother calmly watched the battle in front of her, and as the minutes and seconds passed, the battle between the two seemed to be in a stalemate, which was beneficial to Long Tiantong, because she only needed to survive thirty minutes. Although it can be seen that Youer did not use all his strength, Long Tiantong can fight with Youer, the general of the Black Wing Clan, to such an extent, which is indeed very good. The Shadow Master nodded secretly.

But at this time, the tide of battle suddenly changed!

At the moment when Long Tiantong and Youer staggered by again, Long Tiantong suddenly turned his attack, jumped into the air, and sent out a series of purple fireballs in a condescending manner.

This string of fireballs was arranged in a regular pattern, blocking every direction of the Ghost's dodge. But......

"The technique is good, but the power is too poor!" After Yuer finished speaking, he raised his hand directly to break the fireball in front of him.

"Enough!"

At the moment when Youer had just broken through the fireball, Long Tiantong was covered with a stream of lightning and fell rapidly from mid-air, heading straight for Youer's door.

Your couldn't help but be slightly startled, but now there was no time to evade, so Youer had to stagger his two knives and meet it with all his might!

You'er's stunt "Shadow Blade" is facing the Blade of Electricity in the Dragon!

The shining electric light and ghostly shadows collided between the void and the real, as if countless shadow blades were continuously emitted from the hands of Youer, cutting from the bottom up to the white lightning that fell from the sky, and for a time the current burst out, flowing in all directions!

The current is constantly lost and weakened under the cutting of the blade, but with the weakening of the current, the power of the Shadow Blade is gradually weakening, and the Shadow Blade is gradually becoming sparse, but Long Tiantong's decision to strike is in the last sword!

The thunder was exhausted, but Long Tiantong's figure had already descended directly above You'er, and the fatal blow was immediately stabbed!

But this was in You'er's expectation, and the double knives immediately changed their knife momentum, and Huo Ran held Long Tiantong's blade.

Long Tiantong missed the blow, but he didn't stop there, and the next blow immediately followed - Long Tiantong took advantage of Youer's double knives to change his posture in mid-air with his talent for body flexibility, and then kicked Youer to the flank.

Long Tiantong's long legs swept as strong as a whip, and You'er didn't dare to resist, so he had to dodge as much as he could.

You'er's body retreated slightly, and he could avoid this blow, but Long Tiantong didn't give his opponent a chance to breathe, and as soon as he landed, he immediately turned his hand smoothly and stabbed at You'er.

"That's enough! stop!" suddenly exclaimed Yur.

Long Tiantong paused, stopped the offensive dissatisfiedly, and said, "Is it time?" ”

"No need. "Your strength is already very good, and the trick just now that fuses the elements with yourself is something that very few people can achieve." The ability to control the elements and the realm of the communication elements alone is already extraordinary, and in time, your future achievements will be limitless. ”

"Hmph......" Long Tiantong put away his knife and stood up straight with some disapproval, regaining his previous elegant and arrogant demeanor.

"Tiantong, I am very happy that you can take the initiative to change the situation and strengthen the attack even though you have been undefeated before. "However, if you also adopt such a strategy in external battles, I am afraid it may not be the best choice. ”

"I know what to do. Long Tiantong said.

But apparently they didn't listen.

"Tiantong," the Blackwing Mother patiently persuaded her daughter, "As a patriarch, you must be responsible for the whole clan. We, the Black Wing Clan, have not been Black Wing since the creation of the Dragon God. We were originally a branch of the Light Feather Clan, until nearly 3,800 years ago, when there was a slander and massacre from all the other clans of the Light Feather Clan. ”

"Hmph, Guangyu Clan, those stupid people, I don't even bother to be in their company. Speaking of that history, Long Tiantong felt a little indignant, "Back then, they slandered us for stealing the treasure of the Guangyu Clan, but instead of checking the evidence and listening to the defense, they joined forces to slaughter our people! If it weren't for the fact that the survivors hid in the Purple Mist Canyon, there would be no existence of the Black Wing Clan today." What's even more ridiculous is that more than 3,300 years ago, we found that missing treasure in the Lingri Clan of the Guangyu Clan! But those fools actually said that we were slandering the Lingri Clan!!"

The more Long Tiantong spoke, the more he gritted his teeth, and finally pursed his lips.

"Therefore, the Spirit Wing Clan in the past, the Black Wing Clan that is independent today, and the Light Feather Clan will always be enemies who are not in the same sky. In that war, they killed many of our innocent people, and our relatives and children died unjustly. Today, the Blackwings still can't leave this dark underground and live in a sunny place, because the Lightfeather Clan will continue to hunt us down and demand their treasures. The Black Wing Mother was not as excited as her daughter, but her tone was sonorous and powerful, "Tiantong, you are very talented, and I have high hopes for you." I hope that you can lead our people to defeat the Light Feather Clan once and for all, so that our descendants can return to the world of light. Tiantong, can you take on this responsibility?"

Long Tiantong looked at his mother, who was also the patriarch of the entire Black Wing Clan, looking at him majestically and lovingly. Long Tiantong nodded slowly but firmly and said, "I will definitely do it!"

The Blackwing Mastermother also nodded, and then said, "You go back today, get ready, and go out with Youer in a few days." Those cavemen orcs are harassing our Earth Spirit Crystal Mines again, and you go with your army to defeat them. ”

"Yes. ”

After Long Tiantong retreated, the Black Wing Mistress said to Youer, "Tiantong has a lot of potential, but she is young and vigorous after all, and she is too proud. ”

"Yes, she is very good, but it is precisely because of this excellence that her heart is too high. In the future, this distraction and arrogance will eventually limit her development, and if she wants to stand taller, she will have to go through more training. ”

"Yes, so I'll give her to you, and you must grind her more. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid ......," Yur showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"When she fought against you, she deliberately forced you to fight with all her strength, and you told her to stop because you were worried that you wouldn't be able to control the balance after you shot with all your might. ”

Ur acquiesced.

"I believe in your proportions. The Blackwing Mistress affirmed Youer's judgment, but then the conversation changed, "But next time, you won't have to keep your hand." ”

Your looked at the Blackwing Mistress in surprise.

The Blackwing Master Mother looked at You'er solemnly and said, "If the jade is not cut, it will not be a weapon. She still has a long way to go. ”

“...... Be. "Yur bowed his head and took the command. It seems that the Black Wing Mother has really decided to make Long Tiantong suffer a little.

Long Tiantong walked out of the side hall, thinking about her mother's expectations, in fact, she also knew very well that although she was talented, she also needed to make great efforts behind her impressive achievements.

Long Tiantong didn't go to rest, but turned around and walked into the temple library to continue studying the elements and spells.

There were not many people in the reading room, so Long Tiantong took out the "Research on the Elements and Energy Flow" that he had read several times before from the bookshelf, and sat down in a corner to study it carefully again.

Long Tiantong was engrossed in reading the book, and he didn't realize that there was a handsome boy sitting on the seat next to him. There are already handsome men and beautiful women everywhere in the Blackwing Clan, but this boy still belongs to the category of outstanding appearance even among the Blackwing Clan.

It wasn't until he was reading a book and saw that he was dizzy, and finally couldn't help but raise his head to catch his breath, that he noticed that there was one more person beside him.

Two

Long Tiantong frowned suddenly, there were obviously many vacant seats in the reading room, and this person deliberately ran to sit beside her, obviously for her.

"Why are you sitting here? Long Tiantong said unhappily.

"Uh, uh, can't you sit here?" the boy was a little embarrassed.

"There are so many seats over there, why are you squeezing here?" Long Tiantong continued to frown.

In fact, the distance between the seats in the temple's reading room is very spacious, and although the two of them are seated next to each other, they are at least half a meter apart, so they don't squeeze anyone at all.

The boy was a little slumped for a moment, not knowing how to speak, and his handsome face flushed a little.

Long Tiantong saw that the person in front of him had no intention of leaving, so he got up and left without giving face.

"Uh, wait, um, that, Long Tiantong......" The boy was a little anxious and hurriedly called Long Tiantong.

Long Tiantong, who was called by name, stopped and looked back at the boy.

The boy's face turned even redder, but seeing Long Tiantong looking at him, he had to stiffen his head and say, "That, uh...... I was just...... Knowing that your studies are good, so ...... I want to learn with you and hope to improve. ”

"Learning is your own thing, and seeing how others learn is not the same thing as how well you learn. Long Tiantong said coldly.

"Uh, yes, yes...... the boy bowed his head sadly.

Long Tiantong frowned and looked at him, and said, "The people who can enter the temple are all talented, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to achieve good results." ”

Long Tiantong walked away after speaking.

The boy sat there dejectedly, watching Long Tiantong walk far away to another corner of the reading room and sit down, so he could only sigh helplessly.

A girl came over with a book in her arms, sat down next to the boy, and said with a gossipy smile: "Do you say that this is incomprehensible customs, or incomprehensible amorous, or ...... Don't understand the amorous style? ”

"Hey...... I guess I just didn't like me. The boy sighed again.

"Hehehe, I don't think so...... You're so handsome......" The girl winked at the boy, but suddenly said, "But yes, she's the number one beauty of our Blackwing Clan after all! However, all the confessions of everyone were rejected, and all the hints were not understood. What the hell is going on here?"

Long Tiantong also said that she doesn't want to think about falling in love now, she just wants to concentrate on studying and cultivating. ”

"Well, yes......" The girl nodded, agreeing casually, but her eyes were fixed on the boy.

"So let's talk about it later. The boy stood up a little discouraged, put the book back on the shelf, and turned to walk out of the library.

The girl's eyes lit up and she quickly ran after the boy.

Long Tiantong spent the next few days in a busy situation, either studying or practicing martial arts.

The underground world has no day and night, and all the lighting comes from the constant glimmer of light crystals and glowing fungi, so the city is lit at all times, but there is only a dim light at all times.

The time in the city is based on the hourglass on the bell tower of the temple. The hourglass is black at one end and white at the other end, when the white side is facing up, it means that it is now "daytime", when the white end of the sand is completely drained, it means that the half day is over, and the bell tower of the temple will sound a melodious sound that can spread throughout the city;

So many people are accustomed to getting up when the hymn is playing and getting ready to rest when the harp sounds.

The public routine of the day in the city is also arranged according to this.

However, this is of little significance to Long Tiantong, because there is no difference between "night" and "day" anyway, it is better to go out to study or wander around "at night", but it is still happy and quiet.

So according to general standards, Long Tiantong should be regarded as a "night owl".

However, there is also a disadvantage of shopping on the street at night, that is, all the shops on the street are closed, and there is less fun to shop.

Long Tiantong then came directly to the temple practice room, ready to strengthen his sword skills again.

There was no one else in the practice room at night, Long Tiantong walked to one of the training dummies and stood still, raised his hand to draw the dagger, stood still, waved his arm like a cloud of water, and the sharp knife stabbed the dummy's heart neatly.

Looks like a good hit, but, that's not enough.

The martial arts of the Black Wing Clan are accustomed to using short knives and daggers, and they attach great importance to the ability to control the body. How to make every part of the body and every muscle to achieve coordination, it must be honed thousands of times to achieve the best effect.

Swing, retract, swing......

It seems to be a simple blow, but behind it is countless repeated practice, hard work and sweat, and the harvest is a sharpened and refined knife technique.

Long Tiantong practiced so intensively that she had unconsciously swung the blade thousands of times, and her will was completely integrated with the blade in her hand, and even with the surrounding environment, which was the best realm when cultivating.

Suddenly, Long Tiantong was keenly aware that someone was standing silently at the door of the practice room!

Long Tiantong turned around, a pair of sharp purple eyes swept towards the other party like a dangerous predator in the dark.

——Standing at the door was an adult woman, Long Tiantong recognized her at a glance...... One of the Black Wing Spirit Sons, Glass Marks.

Long Tiantong was a little wary in his heart, put away his knife and stood up straight, and said to the glass mark: "You also come to cultivate?"

"It's so late, you're still practicing. The glass mark seemed to be unaware of Long Tiantong's wary attitude, and greeted him with a steady mouth.

"Exercise and go back. ”

"Hmm...... I think people who always say that you are gifted and born to be a genius should really come and see more. Look at how hard you work, that's the basis for your great achievements. If you don't work hard, where will you get the rewards? Everyone should learn more like this. "Glass marks speak slowly, with a calm demeanor and the demeanor of a leader.

But the words of the glass mark are a little difficult to deal with, this is to attribute the achievements of Long Tiantong to hard work and hard practice, which is not wrong, but ...... From another point of view, it seems to be denying Long Tiantong's talent? But she also said that it should be used to motivate others to work harder, as if it should be a good thing for everyone?

Long Tiantong frowned and said, "Diligence is the foundation, but everyone also has natural talent limitations, and it is impossible to require everyone to reach the same realm." However, if you don't put in the effort, you won't even have a chance to reach the limit of talent. ”

"I'm here for you today. Glass marks cut straight to another topic.

Long Tiantong didn't answer, just waited for her later text.

"I was notified during the day today to join the crusade that will depart tomorrow, against the cave-dwelling orcs who harass our mines, led by the Ghost, and ...... You'll be with you, too. ”

The news of "......" was indeed unexpected by Long Tiantong, Long Tiantong also received a notice calling her to go on the expedition tomorrow today, but she didn't expect them to call the glass mark as well. Glass Mark and Long Tiantong are both Black-Winged Lingzi, and they are also a very popular Black-Winged Lingzi, so how many meanings do they mean by arranging the two of them to go out together?

Compared with Long Tiantong, the glass mark is much older. The Black Wing Clan is a very long-lived race, the clan only reaches adulthood at the age of sixty, and the normal lifespan can be thousands of years. Long Tiantong has just reached the age of adulthood this year, but Liuji is already more than five hundred and eighty years old, and the difference between the two is almost ten times the age. Ryu is more calm and mellow in all aspects of his dealings and demeanor, at least on the surface. But Long Tiantong is arrogant and sharp. The two are almost in contrast.

Long Tiantong didn't speak for a while, but Li Zhen immediately spat out an astonishing word: "It seems...... They don't believe in your abilities that much......"

Long Tiantong's heart jumped, her anger suddenly soared, she forcibly suppressed her anger, but her expression was more arrogant and cold than usual, and then said word by word: "How is my ability, I will let you see it with your own eyes!"

"You're going to go tomorrow, and you're still practicing here in the middle of the night...... I will be looking forward to your abilities. Glass marks said.

Long Tiantong really wanted to say that you didn't hang out here in the middle of the night, but this kind of verbal dispute similar to tearing, Long Tiantong still disdained it, she just said: "Even if I practice here all night today, I will still have enough physical strength and energy to march tomorrow, this is my strength." ”

There is a lot of pride and conceit in the sentence. Glass Mark smiled: "Then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

The next day, the daytime chants sounded, and the expeditionary army of Your set out on time.

Long Tiantong and Glass Mark both arrived at the meeting point in advance, and then they both tacitly ignored each other.

Youer also naturally came over to arrange a team, but I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to arrange the two of them to adjacent positions.

After the preparation was completed, Youer gave an order: "The whole army is set off!"

So the team of 500 people passed through the city gate in an orderly manner and set out on the journey.

The Blackwing people don't like to wear heavy armor, they generally don't wear armor or only leather armor, even if a few people wear iron armor, they will only use iron armor to cover the vital parts, and other places are still light. Therefore, the whole army is lightly armed.

In addition, the location of the incident was not far away, and it was underground, so the whole army didn't even need mounts, and rushed directly to the Earth Spirit Crystal Mine in a hurry.

This army of the Blackwings ran fast in the dark underground passages, like a team of shadows, shuttling through the faint glimmer of the ghostly crystal.

Leaving the city, the lighting in the underground passages plummeted, and the Blackwing people judged that the surrounding environment mainly relied on the keen perception they had cultivated over the years. Of course, as an army, everyone can also use their companions as a reference, but the three people who stand at the head of the team, You'er, Long Tiantong, and Glass Trace, must rely on their own observation to lead the whole army.

Long Tiantong was indeed as she said last night, without any signs of exhaustion, but was full of energy and had a keen senses. The glass marks were faintly observed, and then he quickened his pace slightly, surpassing Long Tiantong by half of his body.

Long Tiantong noticed the small movement of the glass mark, and not to be far behind, he quickened his pace and ran to a position a little ahead of the glass mark.

Glass Mark chuckled.

At such a close distance, Liji's chuckle went straight to Long Tiantong's eardrums, although I don't know what the reason for her laughter is, but it always makes people feel that it is ridicule. Long Tiantong turned his face slightly to face the glass mark, but the glass mark did not show any expression. Long Tiantong had to turn his head again.

At this time, the glass mark accelerated its pace again, and it was dangerous to surpass Long Tiantong, Long Tiantong would not let the glass mark surpass this time, so he hurriedly increased his weight and ran forward.

In this way, while you were chasing me, the two of them led the team to speed forward at a speed much faster than the normal rapid march.

Your saw all the actions of the two, but instead of stopping them, he led the team to follow. It's just a pity for the ordinary people in the team, who have worked so hard but can't say anything about their suffering, and no one dares to complain.

Fortunately, this devil's march will come to an end.

At the front of the passage, a small fortress-like structure blends in with the darkness surrounding it, with only a few clusters of cyan glow crystals embedded in the walls indicating its presence.

The crusaders galloped all the way to the Earth Spirit Mine, and the guards inside the gate had noticed the arrival of the friendly army, and opened the gate in advance to welcome the friendly army in.

"Let's rest in place!" After entering the Diling Mine, You'er gave an order, and the whole army was relieved, and sat down on the ground with a wail. Only Long Tiantong and Glass Mark are still standing in place.

The captain of the guard army of the Earth Spirit Mine originally ran over to catch the wind, but looking at the friendly troops all over the ground looking like they were about to die of exhaustion, he couldn't help but be a little confused, he walked up to You'er and asked with concern: "General, did you encounter the enemy on the road?"

"No, I've received word that the cavemen orcs are likely to attack the mines again by tonight, so we're here in a hurry. ”

"I see. The guard army said.

"Our original plan was to attack the cavemen's lair directly, and draw money from the bottom of the cauldron. But we received the news yesterday, and after some discussion, the clan temporarily decided to change its policy and defend the mine first. Now the command of the mine guards is temporarily in my hands, and I will take unified command. ”

"Yes. "The captain of the guard stood up and accepted the order.

Youer turned to Long Tiantong and the two of them again, and said, "Long Tiantong, Glass Marks, you two come with me." ”

Long Tiantong and Glass Mark followed Youer into one of the guards' office rooms.

Youer first looked at the two of them, and noticed that Long Tiantong's state had completely calmed down, and the glass mark was still slightly gasping.

Youer said to the two of them, "Although both of you are Blackwing Spirit Sons, according to the military regulations of the Blackwing Clan, anyone who accepts the military order must obey the general's arrangement. Therefore, you must all obey my commands. ”

"I know, you just have to give orders. Long Tiantong responded crisply.

"Of course, I will act according to the general's arrangement. Glass marks also said.

"Well, then...... "You're going to punish you two for your private rivalry in today's marching columns." ”

Long Tiantong turned her face a little unhappy, after all, this matter was provoked by Glass Mark first, but she also had to be criticized.

But the glass mark said naturally: "Yes, I shouldn't be rash." It's my mistake, please dispose of it generally. ”

Long Tiantong was a little stunned and stared back at the glass marks. Glass marks just admit that they are wrong? And still in a low voice?

Three

Glass Marks' eyes flashed slightly, as if he didn't see Long Tiantong's stunned expression, and continued: "In the march, obeying the overall actions of the whole army should be the first priority. As the leader of the army, he should always pay attention to the overall situation, and on the one hand, he should consider the operational arrangements and on the other hand, he should take into account the situation of the officers and men. ”

Why did that sound like a slap in the face? If Glass Mark knew all these things so well, why did she do that at the time? Or did she ...... Long Tiantong was suddenly a little annoyed, gritted his teeth and slowly turned his face away.

"You understand that, that's good. "But you must also know that you should be punished for making mistakes." ”

"Yes, you should be punished for your mistakes. Glass Mark said calmly.

"Okay, Glass Marks, Long Tiantong obey the order!" You'er didn't look at Long Tiantong, and directly drank the order, "I ordered you to go and fetch water for the soldiers of the whole army, light the fire, and prepare dinner!"

"Huh?!" Long Tiantong cried out.

"Military orders are like mountains, everything is forbidden, and everyone must carry them out! As a leader in the clan, you must set an example!"

Long Tiantong was dumbfounded, and the rebuttal stalked in his throat for a long time, and finally said: "...... Be. ”

Long Tiantong had no choice but to reluctantly follow the glass mark out of the room.

Youer looked at Long Tiantong's dejected back from behind, but he had a serious expression and laughed softly.

Fetching water and cooking rice, this kind of thing, for Long Tiantong, in addition to doing it in the wilderness survival class, has never done it in daily life. Of course, she also performed well in the wilderness survival class, but now it's cooking a big pot of rice for the army, which is another matter.

Long Tiantong cooked with her feelings, anyway, don't ask her if it's delicious.

Liji also cooks on another stove, but his technique is much better than that of Long Tiantong.

Both men were silent, each doing their own job.

Suddenly, Liji broke the silence and said, "Long Tiantong, how much do you know about the outside world?"

"The outside world, do you mean those mortals and orcs?" Long Tiantong was a little surprised to suddenly bring up the topic with glass marks.

"The 'mortals' you speak of, but you call us 'subhumans.' ”

"Huh, they deserve it, too?"

"But compared to the Guangyu clan living in the deep mountains, and us living underground, those mortals occupy the most abundant, fertile, and most suitable climate on our Qingchen Creation Continent. ”

“...... It's just because there are so many of them. When it comes to really fighting, their talent is not as good as ours. We, the Black Wing Clan, are only being temporarily pressed underground by the Light Feather Clan. Long Tiantong was not very happy to close the lid of the pot and turned around to pick vegetables.

"A hundred years ago, there was a very important war in the mortal world, which was later called the 'Second Battle of the Heavenly Origin'. This battle took place between the mortal kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of the source force, and it was first caused by the kingdom of heaven to prevent the kingdom of the source to prevent the kingdom of the source to conduct research on 'beyond ethics', because the kingdom of the source force ...... Using technology they didn't know where to go, they were able to create flying stone birds, fighting iron statues, and half-ox and half-horse creatures......"

Long Tiantong listened to the glass mark speech in amazement, the content of which was simply incredible, she said, "Did you listen to a fantasy story?"

"Of course not, because a hundred years ago, I was involved in that war...... Ah, when the rice is cooked, I'll take mine out first. Halfway through his words, he suddenly shifted the topic to the matter at hand.

Long Tiantong hurriedly went to check the rice he cooked.

Lichen walked to the door with the cauldron, suddenly turned around and smiled at Long Tiantong, and said, "The world is very wide. ”

With that, the glass mark took the pot and left.

Leaving Long Tiantong alone in the stove room staring at the rice in his pot...... Hmm, it seems to be mush...... Forget it, whoever eats it is unlucky......

Time is estimated to be in the middle of the night, and the cave-dwelling orcs are indeed like a tide as the intelligence news says.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Alarm!!" the sentry shouted the alarm.

The mine suddenly became busy, and everyone immediately entered the preparation position. Long Tiantong was indeed assigned to a group with Liji, and the two of them each led a team to jointly take charge of the defense of the western section of the mine fortress. Your himself sat on the eastern part of the fortress for defense.

Looking down from the city walls, because there was darkness all around, there was no way to tell how many orcs there were, only to see them rushing over in the dark.

However, this is not important, because in this kind of place underground, except for a few places, the space of most other places is usually not wide, and it is limited by its own natural geographical environment, so it is not as effective as the elite who leads the team in battle. And the Black Wing Clan happens to be a typical elite race in itself, although the number of the whole clan is not large, but all the people are soldiers, and all of them have been fully trained.

Now on the side of the Diling Mine Fortress, the Blackwing Clan has less than a thousand people from the guards to the crusading army, and the length of the city wall is very limited, and it can only accommodate less than 400 people standing on it to fight at a time. So Your divided the Blackwing army into three groups and took turns to fight.

Whether it is a war of attrition or an elite duel, the Black Wing side has a very good chance of winning.

Long Tiantong leaned against the battlements with a sharp blade in her hand, trying to carefully observe how those cave orcs would attack, but she was soon surprised - those cave orcs actually climbed up directly along the city wall, without the help of any tools!

This is not mentioned in the books. Although Long Tiantong had already experienced actual combat, it was the first time he had fought with the cave orcs, and he didn't expect to encounter a "new thing" as soon as he came.

It's no wonder that the Earth Spirit Crystal Mine has built such a strong fortress, but it is constantly overwhelmed by the harassment of the cave orcs.

The cave orcs were obviously accustomed to rock climbing, and their movements were very neat, and they quickly jumped up the battlements, and the Blackwing army immediately engaged the cave orcs in full battle.

Long Tiantong raised a knife in his hand, and neatly pierced the heart of the enemy in front of him, and then his body shuttled smoothly on the city wall, and once he moved to the appropriate attack position, he immediately raised his hand and struck again. Long Tiantong has honed his sword skills countless times, and it is already like the instinct of his body, and every time he swings it, he can accurately stab the enemy's heart. Long Tiantong's slender arms and black blades in his hands were like ghosts seeking life in the shadows, and they were caught off guard by the enemy, leaving only an afterimage, and then taking away a life. One knife and one enemy killed, Long Tiantong walked all the way, and then laid down the corpses of the enemies all the way.

“...... You're very powerful......" Suddenly, a hoarse and rough voice sounded, and then, a tall cave orc suddenly jumped in front of Long Tiantong, blocking her way.

Long Tiantong's steps turned, and his whole body posture immediately entered a state of alert. Even in the faint light, you can see that this guy is not ordinary. Not only is the man bigger than the other cave orcs, but more importantly, his body seems to be covered with something like a rock, and I don't know if it's rock armor or skin like the appearance of a rock.

“...... You creatures on the surface should not come underground...... Everything underneath belongs to me, you ...... Damn it!" the big cave orc roared low.

After speaking, the cave orc swung something like a big stick and slammed it towards Long Tiantong.

The big guy's weapon was waved with a low and sharp whirring sound, and Long Tiantong felt wrong, because she couldn't accurately judge the direction of the weapon's approach. As a last resort, Long Tiantong had to try his best to jump back and distance himself from it first.

However, Long Tiantong was still a step slower, and the "big stick" was sandwiched with a sharp wind blade, which was scattered at a very fast speed, and Rao was still inevitably cut on his left shoulder by one of the wind blades with Long Tiantong's speed and flexibility!

Long Tiantong frowned, but when he raised his hand, the flame spell was started, and a purple flame slowly condensed in Long Tiantong's hand, gradually turning into light purple, emitting a soft and bright light. After Long Tiantong gathered the flames into shape, he raised his hand and waved, and the fireball slowly floated into the air like a small sun. This is the illumination technique in the basic use of fire spells, and normally, the illuminated flame will disappear when it leaves the caster's hand, but Long Tiantong's attainment in spells allows her flames to stay in mid-air for a short time.

Long Tiantong wanted to see the enemy in front of him clearly.

The soft light of the illuminating fireball temporarily dispelled the darkness, so that the form of the opponent in front of him was finally exposed to the light-

The blue-gray skin seems to be covered with moss, the whole body is as angular as a pile of rocks, the head and torso seem to have merged into a single whole, there are no eyes, only two rows of violent fangs protruding into the front of the "head", plus lizard-like limbs and a snake-like tail...... If anything, this monster deserves to be named "orcs" only because they walk upright?

In fact, it is controversial whether the "cave orcs" can be named "half-orcs", because the real half-orcs have normal human intelligence no matter what, and they are also one of the intelligent races created by the dragon god. But do the monsters in front of you, called "cave orcs", really have the wisdom that humans should have?

But now is not the time to study academics, the cave orcs in front of Long Tiantong are not only darker in color than their counterparts around him, but also closer in appearance to rocks. The height of the average cave orc is only a quarter higher than that of the Blackwing people, and the body is less than twice as wide as the Blackwing people, but the cave orc in front of Long Tiantong is half as tall as her, and the body size is more than three times larger.

Long Tiantong preliminarily judged that her opponent should be a cave orc elite.

Long Tiantong focused his attention on the weapon in the right hand of this cave orc elite. It was a thick, one-handed stone stick. Judging by the effects of its previous attacks, this weapon ...... It seems to be a magical artifact.

It's not something that anyone can afford to use.

But what was a little strange about Long Tiantong was that during the time she was observing and thinking, this cave orc elite did not immediately receive the second blow, but instead seemed a little hesitant.

After a few seconds, the illuminated fireball floating in mid-air finally disappeared.

At this moment, the cave half-orc elite suddenly let out an angry howl, and then jumped violently and jumped directly in front of Long Tiantong, and smashed the stone stick in his hand!

Long Tiantong's body turned electric and quickly avoided the attack of the stone stick, but the impact of the stone stick and the wind blade attached to the stone stick injured Long Tiantong again.

"Damn!" Long Tiantong was a little annoyed, this monster's precise bounce coupled with extraordinary strange power, coupled with the help of magic weapons, it was really difficult to avoid and defend.

However, avoidance, concession, and defense are not Long Tiantong's true style!

Once you find out the enemy's situation, the next step is to kill!

Taking advantage of his slightly smaller size than the enemy, Long Tiantong launched the first wave of attacks against the orc elite of this cave based on fast shuttle.

Long Tiantong rushed left and right around the cave orc elite at close range, disrupting the enemy's judgment and waiting for an opportunity to move. The dark blade waited quietly in Long Tiantong's hand to attack, and once it attacked, it would bring a deadly threat to the enemy.

The cave orc elite was distracted by Long Tiantong's pace, and he swung his stone stick from side to side, trying to hit Long Tiantong, or at least drive Long Tiantong away.

But this stupid move is exactly what Long Tiantong wants. Long Tiantong keenly observed the enemy's movements, and at the moment when the right hand of the cave orc elite swung the stone stick again, Long Tiantong quickly moved to the right side of the enemy, spit out the sharp blade in his hand, and plunged straight into the enemy's flank!

However, a dull sense of resistance as if a dagger had been forcibly pierced into hard granite was clearly conveyed to Long Tiantong's arm. The sharp knife entered the flesh, but it was only half an inch, and it could not enter again! On the contrary, because the force used in the attack was too great, Long Tiantong's tiger mouth was actually shocked and bleeding.

Long Tiantong was startled and retreated sharply. But the enemy's reaction was also extremely fast! The cave orc elite quickly changed the direction of attack, and the stone stick in his hand smashed down on Long Tiantong's stuffy head from top to bottom!

Long Tiantong couldn't dodge, and could only dodge the attack of the stone stick itself, but was swept head-on by the shock wave of the stone stick and the wind blade!

Long Tiantong was bounced a few meters away, and his back hit a fellow warrior.

"Long Tiantong, command the soldiers, coordinate the attack!" Glass Trace's stern reprimand came from not far away.

Long Tiantong was furious in an instant, she jumped up from the ground and rushed straight to the cave orc elite, but her mouth was angry at the glass marks: "Don't think you can order me!"

Long Tiantong was furious, and the flames and thunder in his hands were actually started at the same time!

For a while, a purple flame circulated, and an electric current burst out. Long Tiantong put the thunder and fire bipolar in his hand at the same time, and then, he did not avoid danger, and attacked the cave half-orc elite head-on!

Glass Scar stood in the corner of the wall, and her warriors were fighting around her. Different from Long Tiantong, Glass Mark has been paying attention to Long Tiantong's movements during the battle, she saw Long Tiantong fighting alone, and finally was knocked to the ground by the enemy, she finally couldn't bear to scold, but she couldn't imagine that this scene had appeared now, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

Such a reckless behavior, is Long Tiantong looking for death?

However, on the other side, the cave orc elite was stunned and became manic.

Four

Although Long Tiantong was angry at the enemy, the speed under her feet was actually under her deliberate control - her speed matched the time when the spell was formed.

By the time Long Tiantong ran in front of the cave orc elite, the spell in his hand had been fully formed.

Flames and thunder and lightning intertwined, shuttling and jumping in Long Tiantong's hands.

The cave half-orc elite waved the stone stick in his hand indiscriminately and struck horizontally, trying to break Long Tiantong to pieces!

Long Tiantong seized the opportunity, flew up, clenched the dagger with both hands, and with the shining flames and thunderbolts, he stabbed into the heads of the cave orc elites with all his might!

"————————!!!Whoa, whoa, whoa," the cave orc elite immediately roared in heart-rending madness.

Everyone on the battlefield was stunned, including the attacking cave orcs, who all stopped attacking.

The warriors of the Black Wing Clan also stopped the battle in their hands and turned their attention to that side.

It wasn't clear what was going on in the dark underground, but it was enough to tell that there was a large cave orc that had been badly damaged.

But the glass marks next to her can see all this clearly, her location is relatively close to Long Tiantong, and the fire and electric light clearly show Long Tiantong's strength, a junior who has not yet reached adulthood, has already possessed the realm of "thunder and fire, Tianyuan is one". More importantly, Long Tiantong not only has strength, but also determination, courage and ability, and perfectly displays her strength. This made Glass Mark almost stunned as Long Tiantong completed the blow.

However, is it really enough to take on the heavy responsibility of the entire race with only extraordinary personal abilities?

Long Tiantong was bounced to the ground by the force of the shock, and although she quickly sat up, the excessive consumption of mana still made her sit in place and pant for a while, and it was difficult to even stand up.

But the cave orc elite was even more damaged. Long Tiantong's dagger blade sank into his skull, and after the cave orc elite screamed, they began to turn and flee frantically.

Seeing this, Yur ordered: "Reinforcements are handed over!

The battle on the city wall resumed, and Long Tiantong hurriedly pulled out the spare dagger from his boot to block a shot from the cave orc next to him.

Resolving the crisis in front of him, Long Tiantong was still vigilantly paying attention to the movements of the cave orc elite, this monster was indeed difficult, she could still swing the stone stick to escape after being hit by her full strength, could he still come back to fight again? Long Tiantong's eyes swept over, but he saw a Blackwing warrior swept by the stone stick of the cave orc elite, and then flew out like a sandbag hit by a heavy punch.

Long Tiantong frowned, it seems that this monster can't be allowed to continue to mess around, otherwise more clansmen will suffer.

Long Tiantong gritted his teeth and chased after him. Even if you try your best, you have to kill this monster first!

Long Tiantong passed the warrior who had just been knocked away by the cave orc elite, and quickly rushed towards the cave orc elite.

"Ahh

Long Tiantong hurriedly turned around, and was shocked to see that the warrior who was knocked away just now was pierced in the abdomen by the cave orcs who rushed up later!

Long Tiantong hurriedly turned back to the rescue, and at this moment, from the direction of the cave orc elite fleeing, there were several angry shouts from the warriors of the same clan - "Be careful!" "Avoid him!" "Captain——!

Long Tiantong's heart jumped, and when he turned around, he saw several more clansmen being knocked to the ground by the crazy cave orc elite sticks.

There were companions in danger before and after, Long Tiantong was anxious, but found that he had nothing to do. She was able to repel monstrous enemies with powerful attacks, but when she wanted to defend her comrades, she found that she could not protect her people from the enemies that attacked her from front to back!

"Ahh......h

The sound of more soldiers in distress came to the eardrums, and Long Tiantong's body shook, and he suddenly woke up - no matter what choice he made, now is not the time to hesitate!

Long Tiantong exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, and then took a deep breath, suppressing the shaking in his heart just a moment. The smell of blood in the air stimulated Long Tiantong's determination even more, no matter what, he could only save one side......

Long Tiantong looked left and right, but had no choice but to choose the side closer to him first.

The warrior who was the first to be knocked away by the cave orc elite was the closest to Long Tiantong, and Long Tiantong took out his blade, and in an instant, he killed several cave orcs who were still mending their knives at the fallen warriors, and the cave orcs next to him immediately fled.

Long Tiantong didn't have the heart to care about those cave orcs, she quickly helped up the clansmen on the ground.

But......

...... Sure enough, it was late.

Long Tiantong did not experience the sacrifice of his clan on the battlefield, but this time it stimulated Long Tiantong's heart more than any previous time.

Why is this happening? The answer slowly emerged as Long Tiantong pondered.

That's it...... Because she had never really thought of rescuing her companions in the past, her battles had never been just "her battles". This time, it was because of a coincidence that the cave orc elite who was halfway beaten by her and ran away caused an accident during the escape, injuring her comrades, which stimulated her idea of rescuing her comrades......

Realizing that she had only cared about herself for many years, Long Tiantong silently put down the remains of her comrades-in-arms, and the depression in her heart made her understand that the only thing she could do now was to rush to rescue other comrades-in-arms as soon as possible.

But the war situation is chaotic, how can she save everyone by herself?

Long Tiantong shuttled through the battlefield with a heavy heart, but for the first time, he didn't know what to do.

Frustration and reluctance to admit defeat made Long Tiantong's brain spin rapidly, and then, almost instantly, it dawned on her what her mother and elders had taught her over the years - "lead her people", "fight with the warriors", "you have to be a leader...... Those words that seem to make sense and seem to be just chatter, teachings that have never really been listened to in the past, but they are truly understood at this moment.

Long Tiantong suddenly woke up, and his steps stopped. When she looked around again, Long Tiantong's expression had changed to an unprecedented momentum, she raised her left hand, and a cluster of flames as a signal was ignited in her hand, and then she loudly issued her first real military order since the army: "The third squad! Concentrate on me! Use the arc queue to fight together!"

The third squad is the squad assigned to Long Tiantong by You'er, but since the start of the war, the members of the third squad have unsurprisingly fallen into a situation of fighting on their own. Now hearing Long Tiantong's order, everyone couldn't believe it, but some of the nearby team members still hurriedly leaned over.

Long Tiantong immediately assigned a position to the team members, so that the team members were separated from the left and right wings in an arc formation, and she herself was in the center, and the soldiers worked together to keep the enemy out of the left and right wings, so that all the team members would avoid the pain of being attacked by the enemy on their backs.

Long Tiantong continued to order: "The right wing is stable, the left wing is contracted, and the second squad is closer!"

The second squad is the squad led by Liji, and the significance of Long Tiantong moving closer to the second squad is very simple, that is, to concentrate troops to fight together and reduce casualties.

Glass marks have actually been paying attention to Long Tiantong, she was already surprised when she saw Long Tiantong organizing the team, and when she heard Long Tiantong's military order again, she couldn't help but feel incredulous. Is this really Long Tiantong? Not only did he adopt the right approach, but he also cooperated with her regardless of his previous suspicions. Can you improve yourself quickly in just one battle? Can you really do it?

Long Tiantong methodically commanded his team members to stabilize their positions while coordinating with the members of the second squad.

Long Tiantong's orders were orderly and reasonable, and no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the first time you command a team to fight. But in fact, she had learned these things a long time ago, but she had never used them.

Glass Marks secretly looked at Long Tiantong's performance, pondered for a while, and then deliberately said: "Long Tiantong, the big monster just now escaped from your hands, and you sacrificed a lot of team members in this battle, but the results were not high, and the performance was too poor." ”

Long Tiantong was silent, raising his hand to kill another cave orc. However, since the cave orc elite was beaten away by Long Tiantong, the other cave orcs seemed to have become a little afraid of Long Tiantong, except for a sneak attack, no one dared to fight her again, which made the defense area she was personally responsible for very easy.

Seeing that Long Tiantong seemed to have suddenly changed his temper, he ignored her provocation and couldn't help but say: "Long Tiantong, this is really you, right?

"I'm going to let them ...... To kill my Black Wing Clan, the blood debt is paid for blood!" Long Tiantong suddenly said ruthlessly, "As long as I am here, I must make these monsters dare not take another step beyond the thunder pool!"

“...... Then let's compare......" Li Zhen also began to lose his sense of Long Tiantong's character, so he could only say tentatively, "Let's see if in this battle, whether you lead the team to kill more enemies, or whether my command ability is more powerful." ”

"No need! The most important and ultimate goal of everything is to destroy the enemy, and at this time, coordination is more important than competition!"

Long Tiantong simply refused?Glass marks looked at Long Tiantong's back, showing a thoughtful expression......

The Blackwing Clan's front had finally become coordinated and orderly.

However, the situation on the battlefield became more and more stalemate, because those cave orcs seemed to be endless, still surging up the walls of the Black Wing Clan's Earth Spirit Vein like an underground tide.

Long Tiantong was ruthless in his heart, and he seemed to be tireless in fighting the enemy with his clansmen.

At this moment, a tall cave orc figure stepped in front of Long Tiantong again. A blue light appeared on the rock-like outline of his body, which, combined with his deliberate low roar, brought a greater sense of oppression than before.

"It's the big monster! he's back!" called a Blackwing warrior.

Long Tiantong knew that he was looking for her, but she smiled. The corners of Long Tiantong's mouth pulled out an arrogant smile in the darkness, yes, she is also waiting for him to come back for revenge, because, she wants this monster to die!

"Roar ............" the cave orc elite let out a menacing low roar, and the surrounding Blackwing warriors were inevitably a little nervous when they were coerced by him.

Long Tiantong said loudly: "The third team, suppress the formation! I will kill him by myself!"

Long Tiantong's courage dispelled the fear in the hearts of many soldiers, but some people said with concern: "It's too difficult for a person to kill him, let's all go together!"

"No, this guy's defense is very strong, and there are too many people to use it. I'll be on my own, and you'll be there for me. ”

After Long Tiantong finished speaking, he actually rushed to the enemy first.

The cave orc elite also roared angrily, brandishing a stone stick and rushing towards Long Tiantong.

Long Tiantong noticed that the state of the cave orc elite this time was different from before, so she chose to test it first. Long Tiantong took advantage of his body's flexibility and flexibility, and his delicate figure grabbed the arm of the cave orc elite with his left hand at the moment when the two of them were staggered, and then knelt on the monster's shoulder with a somersault. Immediately, the dagger in his right hand slashed into the enemy's body.

Sure enough—the body of this cave orc elite is not only harder than before, but also slippery. Long Tiantong felt that the blade slashed through his body, as if it was scratching on the high hard granite covered with thick moss.

To the cave orc elite, the knife was like tickling, but he was very annoyed that Long Tiantong had climbed on his head again.

The cave orc elite raised his hand to grab Long Tiantong from him, but Long Tiantong's movements were a step faster.

With a slight force of his hands and feet, Long Tiantong jumped off the shoulders of the cave orc elite.

But for Long Tiantong, this battle is not easy to fight. When this guy didn't strengthen his protection before, she couldn't kill him with all her strength, and judging by his current condition, he should have used the protection of natural spells, so it would be even more difficult to kill him.

But then again, some of these cave orcs can use natural spells, so if you put it this way, these things really belong to one of the intelligent creatures, the "half-orcs".

Long Tiantong was dealing with the enemy while thinking about how to break the enemy. Of course, if you can't do it, you can only call Youer over and kill this guy with her, but Long Tiantong doesn't want to choose this plan at all. Unlike in the past, when Long Tiantong went out with Youer, Youer would sometimes assist her a little, and this time since the start of the battle, Youer has not given her any help. Long Tiantong understands that this is her way of growth.

You can't rely on anyone, you have to come up with a solution on your own.

Long Tiantong is not in a hurry to attack now, but relies on flexible movements to dodge left and right, from the experience gained from the last encounter, she knows that the attack speed of this monster is not as fast as her movement speed, the only thing he relies on is the enchanted stone stick in his hand, as long as Long Tiantong does not let him catch the flaw, then this monster will not be able to hit her.

Long Tiantong began to recall the accounts she had read about the cave orcs, and wanted to find the weaknesses of the cave orcs.
