Chapter Seventy-Two: Clean-up Operations

The large, stable orbs of light in the field of vision are all warriors involved in the battle, and some small but unstable orbs of light are likely to be monsters hiding in the village. These guys are often the cause of the biggest casualties among the convoys in recent times. Although the tall treants are powerful, their targets are obviously impossible to hide. These creatures in the shadows are often difficult to spot and will launch surprise attacks when the warriors enter the village or town. In the early stages of the battle, many of the warriors were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the enemy from the shadows, so after losing quite a few warriors on the first day, each team now had to have at least one mage who had mastered the detection spell to do the detection.

However, in addition to these two types of light clusters, Li Zhu also found a faintly visible ball of light flickering underground.

Ji Yijun heard Li Zhu's exclamation and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There is a person in the collapsed ruins in front of him, judging by the strength of his mental power, he should not be an ordinary person, but judging from the degree of flickering of his mental power, he seems to be very weak. Li Zhu looked in the direction of the light source and said, "Maybe he hid there to avoid monsters." It's been two days since this town was beaten down by these monsters, but I didn't expect anyone to hold on. ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look. Ji Yijun took out his long sword and touched it in that direction.

"Beware, there are mutated animals moving around the ruins. Li Zhu shouted.

"Yes, you point, I'll fight. A thin layer of fighting qi evenly covered Ji Yijun's long sword.

Li Zhu opened his hand, five fingers up, and balls of light gathered out of his palm, and his hand waved slightly, and one by one balls of light bounced outward.

"Half a meter behind the wall!" a ball of light landed on a broken wall. The sword in Ji Yijun's hand shook in the air, and a sword slashed out, spanning a distance of more than ten meters and hitting the wall, a sharp cut cut broke the rock, and the canine-like monster hiding behind. The monster was split in two from its abdomen, and the upper half of its body slipped to the ground, blood spurting out several meters high.

"Below the tiles!" another ball of light landed on top of the collapsed roof. Ji Yijun stabbed his sword forward, and a sharp spear of light stabbed into the tile, opening a fist-sized hole in it. Behind the tiles, a cat-like monster stumbled out, holding the hollow of the bowl on its chest, and walked three or four meters towards them, falling to the ground and dying.

This cat monster actually has a bell around its neck, it looks like it is a pet raised by people who are not bad for money, Ji Yijun raised his eyebrows and said: "Since this fight, I'm afraid no one wants to have a pet anymore." ”

"Have you forgotten how forgetful people are?" Li Zhu said, "After the stone pillar!"

"But this time the disaster is unforgettable for everyone on the mainland. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has changed the lives of many people. Ji Yijun didn't directly split the towering stone pillar this time, but split two swords in a row. A sword qi slashed past the left side of the stone pillar, and a canine-like monster behind the stone pillar suddenly rushed out from the right side of the stone pillar, just in time for a sword qi emitted after hitting him, and half of his body was chopped off, "Although it is cruel to say this, but in the matter of fighting against the god of nature, it is really usable by now." How many people on this continent don't want the gods of nature to die?"

"I'm afraid that some people will be so frightened that they won't have the heart to resist. Li Zhu said.

"Only hope is extinguished, and in general, man is a very rebellious, very cruel, unrepentant creature. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will think about turning the tables and taking revenge. And now, the hope is here. Ji Yijun nodded at himself and then at the other party.

"Huh. Li Zhu wanted to taunt Ji Yijun, but for some reason, he seemed to feel that he was reasonable, he had seen a lot of things in the eyes of the rescued people these days, ecstasy, happiness, fear, and ...... Hatred that went deep into the bone marrow, "So you think the god of nature has made a wrong move?"

The sword light flashed, and Ji Yijun said: "Maybe he hasn't woken up yet, maybe he doesn't care at all, but if anyone treats humans as ants that can be crushed at will, then he is not far from being bitten by the ant colony and dying." ”

"Here we are, just below the ruins of this temple. In front of them was a stone temple that they didn't know what to do, and most of the hall had collapsed, and several monsters were crushed under the collapsed gravel, and these monsters looked like they had been dead for some time, and their blood had long since dried up, and they had attracted a lot of flies and other flying insects.

Ji Yijun looked at some wounds on these monsters, "It seems that that person was chased by monsters in this town." After escaping here, in order to hinder the attack of the monsters, he knocked down the last stone pillar that supported the temple, and buried some of the monsters and himself underneath. ”

"Not only a warrior, but also a magician, and on that pillar, there are remnants of magic on these monsters. Li Zhu said, "However, I'm afraid that the magician is dead." ”

"Let's dig people out first. Ji Yijun said. He put his sword back into its scabbard, poured fighting energy into his hands, and staggered his grasp of the stone and threw it into the open space beside him, and suddenly he felt like he was in a trance, the last time he did such a thing, he had just come to this world. More than five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and some people left in that crossing, and the rest slowly walked out of a road in confusion and fear, but many people disappeared while walking on the road.

After several soldiers around killed the monsters hiding nearby, they also joined in the carry. After they joined, the speed of cleaning was much faster, and when they were halfway through the digging, they found a corpse wearing a robe, which had already been smashed beyond recognition by the stones, but fell outside. There was also a cat-like monster pressed under him, the claws of the monster had pierced his body, and sharp nails had protruded from his back.

"He must have been protecting the people inside, but he must have been mortally injured before he collapsed. Li Zhu said.

"Let's see who he's protecting!" Ji Yijun moved the mage's body aside, removing the largest stones behind him, revealing another small cave, a triangular space composed of two collapsed pillars and a stone platform. A cloak woman lies in this corner, with a broken sword at her side. Perhaps at the last moment, after the death of the man who protected her, she used this sword to chop down the already crumbling pillar.
