Chapter 386: Support
After discussion, the candidates who finally went to the Burning City to support the Burning City were located Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan.
One of these two people is a top powerhouse whose spiritual martial arts cultivation and physical body have reached the demigod level, and the other is an inheritance space heir who has a inheritance space and can hide in it at any time in case of danger, and no one is more suitable to go than the two of them. That's it. Before leaving, Tang Yan reluctantly pulled Gu Lingzhi and didn't let him go, complaining that Lin Zhongyuan sent his granddaughter who had just come back to such a dangerous place, and only let her go after Gu Lingzhi's repeated assurances.
After three days of sleepless travel, the two finally arrived at the Burning City on the fourth day, and when they were far away, they saw countless fierce beasts surrounding the Burning City. Gu Lingqing couldn't help but gasp. This is the beast that has gathered the entire Lost Land, right? If it weren't for the person who led the way to repeatedly confirm that it was a burning city, Gu Lingzhi would have thought that this was a giant beast lair. How can you still see the shadow of the burning city?
"Two adults, please go this way. The man in charge of the guide led the two to the entrance of an underground passage.
The entrance to the secret passage is in a small bush, such an inconspicuous place, reducing the likelihood of detection. Peel aside the dense vegetation to reveal a stone slab hidden underneath. In order to prove the safety of the passage, the guide lifted the stone slab and walked down first.
This passage can go directly to the City Lord's Mansion of the Burning City, which is a back road left by the people who built the Burning City for special circumstances, but I didn't expect it to come in handy in their generation.
Rong Yuan nodded, and pulled Gu Lingzhi behind the leader into the secret passage under the stone slab. The entrance to the passage is low, allowing only one adult to go down half-bent. The guide explained earlier: "In order to better conceal the entrance, the entrance is designed to be narrow. It would be nice to be inside. ”
Sure enough, as we went deeper into the secret passage, the range of activities that could be moved became wider and wider, and in the end, the width of the secret passage had reached the level where more than a dozen people could walk side by side. This is the scale that an escape tunnel should be.
The three of them shuttled in the secret passage, and from time to time they could feel the vibrations from above through the thick layer of soil, and they couldn't help but sigh that the person who built this secret passage was really prescient and dug the secret passage deep enough, otherwise there would have been so many fierce beasts, and the secret passage would have been trampled on a long time ago.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he finally saw the end of the secret passage, and when he came out of the secret passage, the heavy smell of blood rushed into Gu Lingzhi's nose. Gu Lingzhi held his breath in time so that he was not choked by the smell of blood. The eyes look around vigilantly.
The exit of the secret passage looks like a practice room. The earth-shattering shouts of killing and the roar of the beast came from outside, and a guard who had been waiting there for a long time saw someone come out of it, and his eyes lit up. There are only three people who can be seen, and one of them is still a colleague who is in charge of going to Lingcheng to move the rescuers, and his face is stiff for a moment, and he secretly scolds Lingcheng for being too stingy, so he even sent such two young masters and young ladies who don't seem to have suffered much.
When the leader saw his sinking face, he knew that he was wrong, so he turned around and left, and hurriedly introduced with a smile: "Soldier, why don't you come to greet the two adults? ”
The granddaughter and wife of the city lord of Lingcheng? Aren't they the two spirit warriors who came from the outside world as rumored? I heard that the male one, both the physical body and the spirit martial arts have reached the level of demigods, and they are the default number one master in the Lost Land. The female is also unambiguous, and her cultivation and physical body have reached the strength of the Holy Order. Lingcheng was willing to send these two great masters, it was really a bloody investment.
Thinking of this, the soldier's face suddenly rose again, and the brilliance in his eyes could almost shoot through the person, and he greeted him excitedly, "I didn't expect that it was the two adults who came to help, the city lord has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up and go to the front with his subordinates." ”
When I was in the room, it was fine, there was a room that blocked it, and I couldn't see the situation outside. As soon as he came out of the practice room, the cruel picture of the man and beast fighting outside came into Gu Lingzhi's eyes.
Le Yan's mobilization work is still good, guarding the perimeter of the Burning City tightly, firmly controlling the flying beasts outside, and preventing them from stepping into the Burning City. But he can't control what flies in the sky. What Gu Lingzhi saw was the scene of countless residents of the Burning City fighting against the flying beasts that flew into the city.
Countless flying beasts formed a small dark cloud in the sky above the Burning City, and many more had already landed in the city to fight with the inhabitants of the city. The ground was full of human and ferocious corpses, and the thick smell of blood wafted through the air, so that people didn't have to look to know how cruel the scene was.
Gu Lingzhi's eyes flashed unbearably, and he was caressed by Rong Yuan in his arms, and followed the soldiers towards the gate of the Burning City. Along the way, there were endless screams, and from time to time they helped the humans below. The section from the city lord's mansion to the city gate took a full hour to arrive.
Le Yan stood on the city wall a little tiredly and looked at the army of fierce beasts below, seven days had passed since he sent the letter for help. In these seven days, the fierce beast went from a simple siege at the beginning, to gradually awaken some siege skills later, and launched a two-front battle by land and air. The sky above the Burning City, which was unobstructed, became a paradise for flying beasts.
Over the course of a few days, there were countless casualties in the city. And the corpses of fierce beasts piled up under the city walls are also increasing. As if they had agreed, instead of eating the corpses of their own kind, the beasts used those corpses as a stepping stone into the Burning City, leaving them to lie in place. A thick layer of corpses was piled up under the walls of the burning city. In a few days, the corpses will be piled up to the level of the city walls. At that time, the wall, which had stopped the beast's footsteps, would also be turned into an ornament.
Did you just give up? Le Yan clenched his fists unwillingly.
If you lose the burning city, it will not be so easy to build a city. Not to mention the brutal beasts, who knows when they will retreat, and if it's the same as his alarmist intimidation of the other cities, the target is really all the human cities. He had no hope of rebuilding the city, so he could only live in one of the other cities and become someone else's deputy. It is likely that when the beast invades, it will be sent to the front as cannon fodder to face the battle.
No, he must not be like that!
"Command to go down, throw the oil barrel under the city, and set the corpses on fire. ”
As soon as Le Yan finished giving this order, he saw that the soldiers in charge of waiting for reinforcements had arrived. When he saw the two people behind him, his eyes lit up.
He is not other people who have not seen it, he doesn't know how powerful the two are, he has already seen the portraits of the two. Knowing that the reinforcements sent by Lingcheng turned out to be them, he was so excited that he almost looked up to the sky and roared.
With these two people, he is more likely to hold the Burning City.
After briefly introducing each other, Gu Lingzhi turned his head to look outside the city, and when he saw the pile of corpses that was about to be the same height as the city wall, he also had the same worry as Le Yan.
When the corpses are piled up on a height equal to the wall, it is time for the burning city to be breached. Immediately, Gu Lingzhi raised his hand and waved out a large area of flames. The beasts were coldly attacked by the flames, and instinctively retreated to keep them safe. Gu Lingzhi took advantage of this time to increase the intensity of the flames, controlling the flames to burn the corpses below.
After a while, the corpse under the city wall where Gu Lingzhi was standing was burned out of a big pit and descended a considerable distance.
But there are too many corpses around the city wall, and just by burning Gu Lingzhi like this, it can only solve the urgent need for a while, and it won't be long before the big pit will be filled again.
Le Yan said a little anxiously: "Little City Lord, isn't there a way to melt these corpses quickly?"
Gu Lingzhi glanced at him silently, this news of Leyan is not an ordinary well-informed, even the people in the City Lord's Mansion know what she is called, it can't be that the City Lord's Mansion of Lingcheng is also mixed with the spies of the Burning City, right?
But now there was no time for her to knock on the side, so let Le Yan take a step back, and Gu Lingzhi took out a dark green bottle from the storage ring. The bottle body is painted with purple-black spiral ornamentation, which looks very weird, and it is the best thing to kill people and destroy corpses - corpse water.
Gu Lingzhi took off the cork and sprinkled it lightly under the city wall, and a few drops of black corpse water representing ominous corpses fell on the surrounding corpses. In a short time, the mountain of corpses began to melt at a visible rate, and the stench of decomposing corpses wafted through the air.
The men on the city wall who were slaying the beasts shouted loudly when they saw this. Without corpses as stepping stones, it would not be so easy for the beasts to climb the walls, and it would be much easier for them to defend the city.
The effect of corpse water is not only to melt corpses, but it can also burn living creatures that come into contact with it. Many of the beasts contaminated with the molten corpses let out a terrible howl and retreated in terror. Gu Lingzhi saw that the corpse water was useful, so he didn't delay, so he took out a small part from the bottle and put it in three small bottles and handed it to Le Yan: "Let people sprinkle these corpse water in the remaining directions." ”
Le Yan excitedly immediately found the three guards and ordered them to go down, and before they left, Gu Lingzhi reminded: "This corpse water is what I brought from the outside world, and there is only this bottle, and it will be gone when it is used up." ”
Hearing this, the three guards who were eager to try and were ready to show off their skills with the corpse water immediately felt that the corpse water in their hands was extremely heavy. was ready to pretend to be a good force in front of everyone, but he was also cautious. The corpse water is just such a bottle, if you don't want to see the fierce beasts climbing the city wall with corpses again, you have to be able to save it!
With the power of corpse water, the fierce beasts that had never seen this thing suffered a lot of losses, and many of the fierce beasts that were still alive turned into pus because they were not on guard, not to mention, in less than two hours, the fierce beasts that were crazy about attacking the spirit city also retreated with a high-pitched roar.
