Chapter 397: Encounter
The beast, which has no backbone, has completely regained its ferocious and brainless nature, and pounces on and bites at the things around it that can be eaten. The beasts who were partners one second became enemies of life and death the next. Most of the beasts circled around the "city wall" a few times before turning away.
Seeing this, the people of Forgotten Sorrow City and the fierce beasts aroused boundless war intent. Seeing the hope of being able to reach the Spirit City alive, he even worked hard to kill the beast. The fierce beasts, which were still killing each other in small numbers, soon had the upper hand in this war. When the blue sky turned to a deep blue, the fierce beasts that came to the attack died and fled, ending the battle.
The people who won laughed wildly, but they didn't expect that they really succeeded and survived the mouths of countless fierce beasts.
Inside Guan Yue's tent, listening to the deafening cheers outside, Rong Yuan said flatly that they were safe for the time being. Without the control of the offspring, the herd is just a plate of scattered sand, and it is not a matter of concern. Tomorrow they will set off as soon as possible and strive to reach Lingcheng as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Guan Yue echoed: "I think so too. According to the spies, the group of fierce beasts has divided into three groups, which are going to Wasteland City, Burning City, and the one that attacked us. Now that this force has been broken up, it poses no threat to us. As long as you are careful on the road, most people will still be able to reach Lingcheng alive. ”
For this result, Guan Yue couldn't think of it before this. Making up his mind to go to Lingcheng with Gu Lingzhi and them was completely out of the question. When the fierce beasts attacked for the first time, he even foresaw that he would flee to Lingcheng with Jiang Qing and other henchmen like the city lord of Longyue City. Who would have thought that they would discover the key to dealing with the fierce beast.
Being able to take refuge in Spirit City with most of the people of Forget Worries City was definitely a surprise for him.
In the next few days, as they had expected, a plate of scattered beasts did little harm to them, and even if a few groups of beasts with short eyes were hungry and attacked the people of Forgotten Worries, they were quickly subdued and killed as rations for the day. I walked like this for more than ten days, and Lingcheng was almost here.
Just when they were still two or three days away from Lingcheng, the scouts in charge of investigating the situation reported that in their northeast direction, a team of thousands of people appeared.
Rong Yuan frowned, "Those are the people of Spirit City?"
"This ...... The subordinates don't know. The scout was embarrassed.
He only saw the group of people from a distance and hurried back to report it, and he didn't dare to get too close to the other party when he didn't know who he was.
Rong Yuan nodded in understanding, and said with a slight sigh: "Lingzhi, let's go over and have a look." ”
For Gu Lingzhi's maiden home, Lingcheng, Rong Yuan completely regarded it as a second home. This place is very close to Lingcheng, maybe the person who lives near Lingcheng heard the news and was about to migrate, and he and Lingzhi past, and if they asked clearly, maybe they could help a little.
Gu Lingzhi also followed this idea, and as soon as he proposed it, he agreed, and Guan Yue on the side frowned, "Do you need me to allocate some more people to you?"
"No, it's just a few thousand people, even if it's an enemy, it won't hurt us. After Rong Yuan finished speaking confidently, he pulled Gu Lingzhi and left. In less than half an hour, I saw thousands of people in the mouth of the scout.
How so? That's a pretty messy team!
It's a fight with the city lord of Longyue City who defected a month ago. When it got closer, Gu Lingzhi corrected it in his heart, not to fight, but to be even more embarrassed than Longyue City and his party. Except for the first few people, the remaining thousands of people were almost unclothed, and a small number of people had to walk forward with their hands on the branches. The face is covered with mud, and a group of refugees are alive.
"Little City Lord, Rong Demigod?" One of the leaders shouted loudly when he saw the two people flying in the sky.
This voice, this literati temperament, around forty, and a bewitching woman who is wearing revealing clothes and only wrapping key parts with animal skins, isn't it Le Yao?
Recognizing them, Gu Lingzhi and Rong Yuan also guessed the purpose of this trip.
Sure enough, as soon as the two landed in front of them, Le Yan stepped forward with an excited face and said: "Little city lord, I didn't expect to see you again! I heard from my subordinates that the city lord of Longyue City defected to Lingcheng some time ago, Le Mou was incompetent and failed to keep the burning city, and he wanted to occupy a place in Lingcheng to settle down, so the little city lord wouldn't be unwilling, right?"
Gu Lingzhi's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile: "The city lord is serious, Lingcheng belongs to my grandfather, and it is up to him to let anyone in and not let anyone in." Besides, you're all here, why wouldn't I?"
The implication is that you're all here, so what's the use of me even if I don't want to?
Anyway, Lingcheng is big enough, one is to collect, and two are also to collect. If they can stay in the Spirit City in peace until the beasts disperse, it will be fine. It's just that Gu Lingzhi really doesn't like Le Yan very much.
Longyue City's defection to Lingcheng was only a month ago. The distance between the four cities and the Spirit City is about the same, and they are the people from the Spirit City who received the Longyue City and rushed to the Forgotten Worry City. This Leyan and his deeds actually arrived here, and it was not much different from the time they set off. Half a month ago, the person in charge of the investigation said that a group of fierce beasts had gone to the Burning City, and in just over ten days, how did they come here so quickly?
Le Yan didn't have any special reaction after listening to Gu Lingzhi's words, but Le Yao beside him frowned, "Little City Lord, I heard that you and Rong Demishen personally went to pick up the people from Forget Worry City to migrate to Spirit City, why did you only help us guard the city for a few days at that time?"
Is this the rhythm of questioning?
Gu Lingzhi chuckled, but there was no smile when he said it, "The city lord of Forgotten Worry City is my old friend, and my friends are also in Forget Worry City, isn't it normal to take them over?"
Le Yao shook her eyebrows, and wanted to say that Guan Yue and the people from the Wolf Tooth Team were Gu Lingzhi's old acquaintances, but the other people of Forget Worry City were not, why did Gu Lingzhi also bring them. But seeing Gu Lingzhi's eyes that seemed to be smiling, he swallowed this sentence back.
The situation is stronger than people, and these people still have to use the strength of Lingcheng to keep safe, so it is really not appropriate to grudge with Gu Lingzhi. Fingers stroked his long hair, and said with a smile: "I forgot that the little city lord still has this relationship with the city of forgotten worries." The lord of the small city is kind-hearted, can you also escort us for a ride? This beast is really annoying. ”
Gu Lingzhi didn't answer her words, but looked at the group of people behind her. It can be seen that these thousands of people are not doing well during this time, and almost all of them have minor or serious injuries on their bodies. Even Le Yao and Le Yan had several scratches on their bodies.
Seeing that Gu Lingzhi didn't speak, Le Yan said anxiously: "Little city lord, don't you want to? Don't look at these people behind me who are embarrassed, maybe those who came here with me are all good hands, and they will never drag you down." ”
Gu Lingzhi didn't speak, and always felt that there was something wrong with Le Yan's emotions. But he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he looked at the thousands of people behind him again, and said lightly: "It's only two or three days away from Lingcheng here, if the Lecheng Lord is in a hurry, he will arrive in a day and a half day and night, so he really doesn't need to come with us." ”
"We're not in a hurry. Le Yan hurriedly said, after saying that, he felt that he seemed to be returning too quickly, and said with a wry smile: "Since the two of you have already arrived here, presumably Guan Yue and they are nearby, why don't you merge the two teams and move forward together?"
So an hour later, the ranks of the City of Forgotten Worries increased by more than 2,000 people. Le Yan looked at the long line in Forgotten Worry City with some envy, and secretly hated that when Gu Lingzhi went to burn the city, he didn't have the cheekiness to let her and Rong Yuan escort them to Lingcheng. He had heard from his subordinates that the group of fierce beasts besieging Forget Worry City were broken one by one by Rong Yuan and Gu Lingzhi within a few days. As a result, Forget Worry City was able to retain most of the people and horses, compared to his more than 2,000 people, it was simply a heaven and an underground.
"Brother Guan is really a blessing. Le Yan praised it from the bottom of his heart. It would be nice if he also had an old friend with such strength.
Guan Yue laughed twice, "It's just a matter of gratitude to the small city lord." ”
The two exchanged a few more polite words, and Guan Yue said casually: "As far as I know, wasn't the burning city still good half a month ago?
Le Yan let out a long sigh when he heard this, "Isn't it the group of fierce beasts who harmed it?"
It turned out that not long after the beasts retreated that day and turned their target to Longyue City, they launched another attack on the Burning City.
It's just that this time there were far fewer beasts attacking the city than the first time. Maybe the beasts also discovered that they didn't need to come out of the nest to deal with a city, so they divided the beasts into three groups and dealt with them separately.
At the beginning, under the command of Le Yan, the Burning City could barely deal with those fierce beasts, but after the appearance of the huge insects and beasts, the Burning City was only defeated and retreated. After the Burning City was breached, he took some of the people of the Burning City into the secret passage to save his life, and then heard that the whole city of Forgotten Worries had migrated to the Spirit City, so he also rushed here with the remnants of the people. That's when I met a few people.
"Then you're walking pretty fast. Rong Yuan said this sentence meaninglessly after he finished speaking.
Le Yan smiled bitterly, "Running for your life, can you not be happy?"
Rong Yuan nodded, "That's what I said." ”
As soon as the words landed, I saw a member of the scout rushing towards him, and before he arrived, he yelled urgently: "Oh no, the beast is here again!"
Hearing this, the entire team reflexively entered a state of readiness, Rong Yuan inquired about the direction where the fierce beast was coming, and the person was gone.
Appearing in front of everyone again, Rong Yuan's face was ugly, and he stared at Le Yan and said, "There are fierce beasts chasing after you, why don't you say it?"
He said that they were almost in Lingcheng, how could Le Yan see the excitement of him and Gu Lingyi seeing the savior, it turned out that they were still followed by a group of fierce beasts.
