Chapter 33: Daji
Rewind the clock to 22 hours ago, when Anonymous had just emerged from the horizon, and the soothsayers of the East Asia Society's headquarters warned of the attack of the Old Gods.
But at this time, Speaker Driftwood was annoyed by a document.
In accordance with the resolution of the last parliament, many things have been laid out.
"The construction of the new town is going smoothly, more than seventy percent of the solar furnace has been put in place, but the garrison is insufficient, well, normal, according to the usual practice, the headquarters of the association will transfer a group, a group from the preparatory academy, a group of conscripts, a group of heavy recruitment, and it is also a good thing that the source of personnel for the establishment of the town is messy, so that the resident combat power left behind will also have more firepower."
"The 'kingdom' and the 'chamber of commerce' have changed again? Forget it, the border is on heightened vigilance, the dead don't care, hit the border and kill back, let these degenerates fend for themselves"
"The Town Bazaar and the Alliance of the Chosen One are secretly carrying it again? Boring intelligence, do they have a time when they don't fight. It doesn't matter, yes, as long as there are no mass deaths, it should not be seen. Let these Star Soul Envoys solve the matter on their own. β
As the nominal head of all the night watchmen and administrative agencies in East Asia, Driftwood was very busy, and many of the assistants in charge of various aspects of the work kept reporting to him for instructions, but he was still taken aback when he saw another piece of information.
"After receiving the order of the association, the Tuyumen family, which is good at weighing interests, really gave up the battle of the star soul to participate in the Romance of the Gods. In order to gain the trust of the association, he also handed over the information of Daji and the former star soul envoy of Tamamo. However, only then did I discover that the star soul in front of the jade algae made the earth royal gate Sanae, but he was not a pure earth royal gate clansman. β
What makes the Speaker of the Driftwood Council lament the impermanence of the world is the information of Sanae of the Soil Mimon.
"The Katsura family (Roman letter Katsura), the sword saint family of the Eyeless Clan, due to bloodline variation, the probability of the Eyeless Clan appearing in the clan is more than seventy percent. One hundred and thirty-two years ago, he was expelled by the Tuyumen family as a whole, but due to the emergence of the Star Soul Envoy in this generation, the Tuyumen family has plans to re-accept the Gui family. β
Gui, two earth and one wood, earth royal door, soil on the door (wood), the relationship between the two surnames, is not a clever charade.
The ancestors of the Gui family who were expelled that year chose "Gui" as their surname, except that Gui was originally the surname of the He clan. Or, it is also a hint that he does not forget his roots and hopes to return to the family one day.
In this generation, the relationship between the Tuyumen and the Gui family is already very distant, after all, the Tuyumen has always regarded the Gui family of the Eyeless Clan as a family shame and a black history.
"Sanae of the Soil Palace, the only daughter of the Gui family of the Soil Palace, is not liked by the members of the Soil Palace, but with his cousin. The family elder Dogomon's beloved daughter, Dogomon Koya, has a very good relationship, and with the latter's efforts, he reluctantly reconciled with the Dogomon family three years ago and accepted the name of Sanae Dogomon. But externally. But he is still used to using the old name Gui"
Even the battle-hardened Driftwood Speaker was shocked by the inscrutable fate when he read this, and his assistant officer. But he read out the next information.
"Gui Xia Niang, another piece of information shows that she is Jiang Shang's fiancΓ©e!"
At this time. Jiang Shang grew up and looked at Jiang Xiaoyue who brought this top-secret text message with a shocked face.
"You're kidding!! Xia Niang is Daji's star soul envoy? The seemingly calm eyes were full of surprise, and the information was conveyed in his eyes.
"The urgent top-secret letter of the East Asia Association, although I don't know that Weishenme is used to being neutral, they will stand in line in advance and choose to help us, but I think this information should be true. That is, because of Sister Xia Niang's matter, I originally planned to come to school, but I could only come early. β
The tacit understanding between the brother and sister makes the two not need extra language communication.
"Engagement? Is it no wonder that Jiang Shang was a little hesitant, even if he had a good impression of Gui Xia Niang in the past, but this marriage contract with an old enemy looks like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it. "As the eldest lady of the Jiang family I chose for you, Sister Xia Niang's character is absolutely right, I can guarantee that she is a good woman."
Jiang Xiaoyue nodded, seeming to be disdainful of Jiang Shang's worries.
"From the information from the association, Sister Xia Niang's relationship with the Tuyumen family is very poor. They wanted to completely master the Liliang of Daji Xing's soul envoy, and also arranged for the young master of the clan to go on a blind date with Sister Xia Niang, but Sister Xia Niang refused, if it weren't for that Tuyumen Xiaoye doing peace, it would be impossible for the Tuyumen family to start a direct war with the Gui family. β
"What did she do?" actually turned against the blood relatives who went farther away, what did Gui Xianiang do.
She castrated the playboy who drugged the tea with a knife, the guy happened to be an only child, and the old man happened to be an old man, and as a result, the seven masters of the Tuyumen family were likely to become the six masters. If it weren't for the fact that Tuyumen valued her Star Soul Envoy ability, I'm afraid that the two would have already started a war. β
Jiang Shang was a little surprised, the blind girl who was quite kind and full of gentle smiles in his memory actually had such a strong side.
"Good at reading people's hearts, abiding by honor, smart and strong, although I can't see my face clearly, but I am definitely a super beauty under the long bangs, brother, Sister Xia Niang is a good woman, you haven't thanked me for helping you find such a haode wife. I expect you to make the decision that is best suitable. β
Jiang Shang smiled helplessly.
"When I go back and have time, I'll settle the account of the private engagement with you, but now it's not whether I'm willing to accept the marriage contract, but if it goes on like this, what should I do with the Star Soul Dispute."
Jiang Shang understood it, and they would mention that they were also Star Soul Warband, but they didn't say which Star Soul powerhouse they were.
Daji's Star Soul Envoy's reputation was actually not good, but Jiang Shang did not underestimate the other party because of this.
Monarchs in the past always liked to blame their failures on women, Meixi and Liji. Xi Shi, Bao Xi, Yang Guifei, Wu Zetian, Chen Yuanyuan, in history, these women were regarded as a disaster, and even said that the country was declining because of this.
But Jiang Shang knew in his heart that most of this was the slander of the victors of history against the losers, the most obvious example, the fundamental reason for the defeat of the king of Shang was that he moved the fundamental slavery system of the slave society and touched the interests of all the aristocratic classes.
As for the historical Daji, she was simply the partner she met when she was in her sixties, and it was not quite right to put the hat of disaster on her head. And the reason why she is rumored to be a fox spirit is just that the totem of the Su family from which she was born is the nine-tailed fox.
As a result, myths and legends are often inextricably linked to history, and the totem has become a demon, so that Su Daji, the nine-tailed fox in the Romance of the Gods, was ordered by Nuwa to plague Shang.
But judging from the results, Jiang Ziya and Su Daji actually have the same goal, they are both prosperous and dead merchants.
Having encountered in the Primordial Sea, Jiang Shang had some opinions about the generation of star souls. If the hero corresponding to the star soul is a real person in history, then the soul of the real historical figure will be used as the backbone, plus the legend bonus, to shape the star soul.
"The dancing girl and the demon fox who is good at reading people's hearts" Jiang Shang smiled bitterly, who would have expected that this "mind reader between the blades" and "blind dancing girl" would have this mystery.
Look around. The Yuexi Battle Group had just returned, and Gui Xia Niang seemed to feel Jiang Shang's gaze and nodded slightly.
"Make up your mind, I'll cut her with an axe. It's a hundred. A cold voice sounded behind him, and Silul fell to the back.
Her soul is a divine treasure. Begging for the axe, in myths and legends, beheaded Daji and the king of Zhou, it does have the effect of killing Daji's star soul with one blow. If there is a mental calculation, there is no intention to sneak attack
"No, I'm going to talk to her. Wait for this event to end. β
Yes, this is not the time for small talk. The closer they got to the core of the Divine Domain, the greater the pressure of the battle, and countless beasts surrounded them again.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go into battle, I also want to try the power of the new soul technique."
When Jiang Shang was about to try, he didn't notice that above the sky not far away, the black plague bird had already locked on him.
"Find. Arrive. Finish! Jiang Shang! The Gods! β
Some scholars have done research on what the abandoned beast does for a living, but in the end, this research result ended in nothing.
Because this research is really meaningless, abandoning beasts and not eating people can still survive, but devouring other souls and flesh will make them advanced and alienated.
They regard the inhabitants of this shijie as food, but when there is no food, they devour each other and evolve.
For example, there were originally only five wolf-type abandoned beasts in the Beron Mountains, ranging from F-class threats to B-class threats, but three years later, there was only one abandoned beast left.
But that wolf is now known as the Nightmare of Peron.
The S-class threat, the Norse wolf king Eloth, has been famous for seventy-six years, and has become a big trouble for the entire Belon Mountains and even the surrounding fortresses.
It is said that his infestation will bring endless blizzards, indicating that he already has his own domain Liliang.
Based on this, some scholars predict that if it is really allowed to run rampant for a hundred years, if it is not done well, Eloth will be able to evolve a divine soul and advance from the abandoned beast to the old gods and evil gods.
Of course, S-class threats are super troubles, and the probability of appearing is also very low, but with this example, in order not to have a particularly troublesome opponent, the town will regularly clear the surrounding herds.
Especially for the same kind of monsters, if the common haunts are similar, they will be cleared to the end.
But apparently, judging by the increasingly troublesome opponent, Shura didn't do his homework before.
In mythology, the Rakshasa is a monster converted into the soul of the wicked, and he is born to be an ally of Asura, and in front of him, most of the people besieging him are Rakshasa demons and Shura war ghosts.
They often have a beast head and a human body, a ferocious body, amazing martial arts, and the most troublesome thing is the experience and cunning wisdom that has been preserved.
Rakshasa Tiger, Rakshasa Tiger is also a member of the Rakshasa Demon Clan, a demon with a tiger head and a human body, and is also known for its outstanding personal combat power within the Rakshasa Demon. Adult Rakshasa tigers are at least the outcasts of a D-class threat.
After the low-level abandoned beasts entered the realm of no taboos, they woke up from the madness of war, and in front of the Spark team, they often either broke up or were in chaos.
But the sober Asura and Rakshasa Tiger are even more difficult, and in a militarized society, they list battle formations, use military formations against military formations, and fight with the Spark squad in a dignified manner.
At this time, the team did not retain its strength, and Jiang Shang was also on the front line.
Activating the "Wild Boy" armor, the roar of the machinery brought bursts of explosions, and as the fragments of the soul spar dispersed with the wind, the overflowing soul power suddenly went up a notch.
"Sun Choice!"
Another round of the sun rose in the east, the orange-red brilliance was like sharp arrows, and many abandoned beasts had reached a critical point, and this extra round of the rising sun would kill them.
Before Jiang Shang could sigh at the sudden surge in soul power reserves, he felt a sense of crisis as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast.
Dozens of bows turned into streamers and attacked with themselves as targets.
Far away, and there was still time to dodge, Jiang Shang saw that the archers of the Asura and Rakshasa Tiger were winding and bending their bows to prepare for the second wave.
"Be careful!"
Jiang Shang was pounced on from behind, but a red-yellow spear was inserted in the position where he had just stood, and the golden ring-shaped tail was affected by the remaining force, and it was constantly trembling, which was enough to see the strength of the spear thrower's arm.
Seeing that Jiang Shang had escaped, the asura general who threw the spear glared at him fiercely, holding weapons in each of his six arms, and made a throat-cutting gesture at Jiang Shang with a magic slaying rod.
The brilliance on the spear dissipated, and the materialized blood energy was also swept away, this is the blood energy weapon of the asura, if it is smashed by this thing, the ordinary night watchman will definitely die through the heart.
"As a lighthouse, you must first learn to save your life, and use the sun to make decisions in a dignified manner, is it too long?"
Gui Xia Niang's cold words revealed some worries, the highest mortality rate of rookie warriors is the first battle, excessive nervousness, excessive excitement, eagerness to perform, fear and cowardice, and lack of experience may become the cause of death, so Gui Xia Niang paid attention to Jiang Shang and his party, and really helped a lot.
Nodding with mixed emotions and thanking Gui Xia Niang, Jiang Shang was re-invested in the battlefield, and this time, he was a lot more careful.
This time, he approached his own defenders, did not put most of his energy into the fireball in the air, watched and listened in all directions, and survived first and then considered the battlefield contribution.
As a member of the team, Jiang Shang's first task is very simple, it is enough to maintain the aura of the Chenze system, as for the Xuanwu defender, maybe he has this strength now, but the lack of experience makes him always a little shrunk.
The Spark Squad didn't have the intention of letting the first-grade defenders go to the front line of hand-to-hand combat, Jiang Shang only needed to use the floating shield to help others as a shield, but even so, he was tired of facing it.
Sometimes, in the face of a surprise attack of a ranged attack, he overreacted and blocked the position that should not be blocked, disrupting the rhythm of his own people, and sometimes, he hesitated, and the opponent's attack had already reached his teammates, and it was too late to act.
In order to make accurate judgments in battle, it is necessary to accumulate experience, and what Jiang Shang lacks most now is experience.
If it were an ordinary team, it would be completely impossible for a rookie like Jiang Shang to bring to the battlefield, but what Jiang Shang can do now is to imitate what other Xuanwu has done as much as possible, act when he sees it, and don't hesitate to make mistakes.
By the time he had almost mastered some of the tricks of blocking arrows, the battle was coming to an end.
The Asura who has regained his sanity is also a wise creature, even if he is belligerent, he does not have the stupidity of needless death, and he finds that what is in front of him is a hard hand, and with a short horn sound, the Asura and Rakshasa Tiger, who were given the order to retreat, returned to the darkness.
