Jiang Rui sniffed the sand in his hand, there was a strange fishy smell on it, like a harbor that had been soaked in stinky fish and rotten shrimp for many years, when he was young, he also stayed in Lotus Dock for a while, so he was very familiar with this smell, but he was also very clear that although it was very similar, what remained on the sand was not some kind of fish and shrimp smell, but a more vicious guy, he let go of his hand, and the sand in his hand fell, these sand was reddish and looked beautiful in the sunset.

"Is it blood?" Jiang Zhuo crushed a grain of sand, his fingers were stained with red marks, he saw the solemnity in Jiang Rui's eyes, and guessed the reason why the sand turned red, but he didn't know what the blood was.

Jiang Rui nodded, the battle armor on his body had been shattered into many pieces, and there were several dirty marks on his face, the battles and attacks over the past few days had consumed a lot of his energy, and he smiled bitterly, "It's demon blood, to be precise, the fire ape clan." ”

Jiang Zhuo was slightly stunned, the fame of the fire ape clan is too great, even mortals have heard of their murderous name in the Eastern Wilderness, in many stories that intimidate children, the fire ape is a well-deserved protagonist, and Jiang Zhuo, who was once the prince of Dali, of course knows more about the fire ape clan, and knows how much pain this clan has brought to the Eastern Wilderness.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Zhuo's voice sounded a little bitter and fearful, which made him regret it after speaking, he was now the emperor of Dali, even if the country was ruined, he should not show any fear.

"Well," Jiang Rui seemed to be unaware, he got up from the ground and walked slowly towards the mountain forest not far away, the sand in front of him was also covered with red, "A few years ago, there was a fire ape in the Luofeng Slope outside the Demon Town Pass, most of them were just trained as adults, I have fought with him a few times, each has a victory or defeat, and I have a deep memory of the taste of fire ape blood, and I will not admit mistakes." ”

Jiang Zhuo followed behind him and glanced back at the resting army, "The soldiers are very tired, I'm afraid something will happen when fighting with the royal family at this time." ”

"Well, and judging from the battle situation in several other places, there are a lot of people from several major royal clans, and it seems that they intend to swallow the entire Eastern Wilderness......" Jiang Rui stood under a tree, looking up at the trunk that was soaked in blood and dark red, "But fortunately, it is the Fire Ape Clan." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Zhuo was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled.

"The Fire Ape Clan is very special, they don't like to live in groups, and there are many cases of big fights in the clan, and the number of this clan is very small, the least of the ten royal clans," Jiang Rui picked off a leaf and pinched it gently, the slightly wet blood stains stuck to his hands, "The biggest question now is, who injured this Fire Ape?"

The forest wind was blowing, and a faint fishy breath came from the deep mountains, Jiang Zhuo looked at the Taichen Mountains in front of him, and pondered slightly, how strong the fire ape was, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but the prince of Dali had to learn all kinds of knowledge related to the demon clan since he could remember, from their habits and characteristics, to exercises, talents and weaknesses, everything was covered, and the ten royal clans, as the existence of the top level of the demon clan, were naturally the top priority of their learning, in his impression, every time they talked about the fire ape clan, it was the time when their children were most afraid.

Bloodbathing the Eastern Wilderness, slaughtering a state, and swallowing millions of people alive, the fire ape brought all nightmares to the young Jiang Zhuo.

"I don't remember an army of Terrans around here. Jiang Zhuo shook his head, dissipating the uncomfortable feeling in his heart, "The cultivators of the various sects under the command of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion have not raided here. ”

"Judging from the bloodstains, that fire ape should have been injured in the Taichen Mountain Range," Jiang Rui glanced back at the sandy land just now, "but the bloodstains disappeared abruptly here." ”

Jiang Zhuo was about to say something, when a spiritual light suddenly flashed on the jade plate on his waist, he stretched out his hand to hold it, and his face quickly turned ugly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Rui asked.

Jiang Zhuo raised his head and said softly, "The Lotus Dock is broken." ”

-------------------------------------

Ten miles of lotus thyme.

Lotus Dock is the most famous city in the Eastern Wilderness, it carries a lot of people's feelings for the years of seven thousand years ago, according to legend, the sword fairy led the human army in this place to officially start the counterattack on the demon clan, so the Tianji Pavilion also placed the Eastern Wilderness Pavilion here, Lotus Dock has no city wall, but it has a far more powerful protective formation than those important towns like the town demon pass, and it is near the water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it can be said that Lotus Dock is the most difficult city in the Eastern Wilderness.

But today, the Lotus Dock is still broken, which is the first time in 7,000 years.

Many people fled, but there were still many armies and monks in the dock, half of them escorted some of the people to break out from the west, and the other half of them stayed behind the palace, they were stationed in the restaurants and merchant houses on the west side of the lotus dock, almost throwing runes as if they didn't want money, and the surging fire and thunder were still dazzling in the daylight.

These people didn't plan to get out alive, some of them were outsiders, but most of them were local guards of Lotus Dock, many people were born in Lotus Dock, and they also grew up in Lotus Dock, married wives, and had children, some people died of their wives and children when the city was broken, and some people were lucky, and let their families go to Zhongzhou before Lotus Dock was surrounded, and some people were alone, and there was nothing to worry about, but now, most people didn't care about these things, the temporarily constructed formation was crumbling, and the roar of the demon clan in the sky sounded like thunder, they seemed to be mechanically aiming all the things in their hands at those demon clans and throwing them over, maybe some people looked down before throwing them out, found that a certain piece of rune paper was actually worth a thousand gold, if it weren't for this war, their small defenders would not have had a chance to use it at all.

But at this time, who cares about this kind of thing, no matter how expensive things are, they will be thrown out like worthless waste paper.

Responsible for commanding this group of soldiers behind the palace is the city lord of Lotus Dock, he sits on the top floor of a green building, here is a certain girl's boudoir, there is still a smell of rouge, he was the general who guarded Lotus Dock, the real city lord died three days ago, so he took over the position of city lord, if it was a year ago, he would probably be happy for a few days, but now there is only a touch of bitterness.

I don't know if he will be the last city lord of Lotus Dock, maybe future generations can see his name in the book, sigh, "Ah, this person is the one who guarded Lotus Dock to the last moment", maybe someone will go to pay tribute to him? Pour him a glass of wine when sweeping the tomb or something? Of course, it is more likely that future generations will not know about the existence of him as the city lord, after all, he is only temporarily taking over.

The last city lord sat in front of the window, thought for a while, and then silently grabbed the long knife stained with blood in his hand, and whispered to the soldiers behind him, "Pass the order and fight to the death." ”
