Chapter 12: The Comet

Magellan struggled down the avenue.

The weather was bad.

The wind and rain were like obscurity, and only the lightning flashes after the thunder could bring a moment of light, and the wind seemed to know where he was going, always standing in the way.

Magellan carefully let his cloak cover the flower pots, and as he walked along the official road in the mountains, he knew that he was approaching the city, and that this difficult walk was coming to an end.

Then with a loud thunderclap, a huge black shadow fell from the sky.

It was as if at that moment the wind and rain had dissipated.

Magellan raised his head, glanced at the brightening sky, and realized that there was a giant snake not far in front of him.

It was a long, huge snake with a hideous face, a head, and a green bead on its forehead, and its long body winding its way up the hillside to the other side of the hill. It looked like a corpse, its eyes closed, and its hard scale armor smashed a ditch into the hill, and there was not a trace of strength in the long snake in the ditch, like a puddle of mud.

Magellan still walked, he walked a little faster, because the wind and rain gradually subsided, and he did not have to fear that the flowers in the pots would be blown away.

As he walked to the next corner, a voice rang in his ears: "O human being, do you think that life or keeping your promises is more important?"

Magellan stopped and looked up at the serpent in front of him.

It had a pair of orange-yellow vertical pupils, and there was something in them that Magellan couldn't understand.

"If death can fulfill a promise, then die. ”

"Ah......" the long sigh was mixed with the characteristic hissing of snakes, "what if you die and can't fulfill your promise?"

"Then live. ”

Magellan felt that the conversation was over, and he continued along the road.

"Is it shameful to run away?"

"Only ignorance in the world is shameful. ”

The voice didn't ring again.

Magellan didn't look back, he didn't know what was going on behind him, and he didn't care.

But in the sky, all the disciples of the hundred schools saw what had happened.

When the big snake fell into the depths of the rain curtain, Hachicong stopped blocking the others, but in the end, no one went down to the ground to look for the big snake, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Yellow Crane Tower.

There were six royal guards.

Something intangible was slowly spreading, occupying the space after the wind and rain receded, and continued to create an icy aura.

Wang Baobao stood by the smashed railing, looking at the mountains blurred in the darkness.

"Bai Gongzi, you go and get the bead for me. ”

Bai Gongzi didn't move, she stood quietly in the wind, looking at Wang Baobao with a calm face.

Everyone knew what was going to happen, but no one thought it would end up like that.

A bolt of turquoise lightning burst out of the darkness and shot towards the southeast sky, and it took almost an instant for it to become an invisible point of light.

Only two people reacted, or rather, only two people reacted.

Bai Gongzi shot out and left in the direction that the big snake flew out, and at the same time, Wang Baobao roared furiously: "Kill him!"

That moment was over.

In the next instant, one of the imperial guards rushed out.

He turned on the burning blood beside Wang Baobao, and then rushed out, dragging a long blood-colored flame tail in the air.

It was like a blood-red comet, chasing the white of the sky, streaking across the sky.

But eventually, the comet fell.

"It's a beautiful ......"

Everyone sighed in their hearts, but no one said a word.

The roar of the demon before death finally dissipated in the wind, and with it, Wang Baobao's anger dissipated.

In any case, at least he succeeded for the time being.

The dragon has turned back, and at least until it does, the situation will not change.

As for the hundred disciples here who each have a ghost in their hearts, they are just worms shrouded in the shadow of the dragon, and they can't change the situation.

However, Wang Baobao still swept the crowd with a gaze that would order murder at any time.

Everyone did not dare to look at him, and the undercurrent of the rain gradually became calm.

Mo Yi didn't know how things would turn out, at least for the time being, he decided to stay out of the matter, and Mo Yi cleverly looked away from the crowd and turned to the downstairs in the shadows.

As the rain curtain thinned out, the gray road between the blue hills slowly emerged from the fog, and it was rare that there was a pedestrian dressed in black on the road, who seemed to have walked in the terrible wind and rain just now.

Mo Yi was a little surprised, a little puzzled.

The man seemed to have a weapon hidden under his clothes, and judging by the way he walked, the strength of the man in black was far greater than that of ordinary people.

Mo Yi's gaze followed the man down the road, rounding two corners.

Wang Baobao turned around and glanced at Mo Yi, then followed his gaze and glanced at the road.

"Look at what? ”

The man in black had just walked behind the hill and was blocked.

Mo Yi retracted his gaze and followed the imperial guard downstairs and left.

On the way, Magellan chose to forget that gaze and quickened his pace, he still had something to do.

After a bend and a tall building emerges from behind a hill, Magellan is finally sure that he has arrived in Wuchang.

There was a big sign hanging on the tall building, which read: "Yellow Crane Tower".

Magellan withdrew his gaze, continued his way, and soon came to the city gates, and after honestly handing over a little money to the soldiers defending the city, he entered the city without incident.

This is Wuchang, the place where soldiers must fight, the avenue thoroughfare, and one of the most important towns of the demon clan in the south.

As a result, there are quite a few important people living here.

Magellan walked into a teahouse in the rain, asked for a cup of hot tea to keep warm, sat upstairs, and slowly recalled his goal.

Since that night's battle with Bai Gongzi, Magellan has taken the lives of many people. This journey can be said to be very smooth, after all, the only Bai Gongzi who wants to stop him does not appear. Magellan was a little surprised, after all, although Bai Gongzi lost that battle, he was not injured.

But those are all inconsequential details, and now it's finally the turn of the real big guys.

The demons in Wuchang City are led by the Jingzhou General and the Governor of Wuchang, who are the emperor's loyal ministers and the rulers of the rivers and rivers for thousands of miles in the north and south.

I don't know if it's because of the weather, the city seems to be particularly depressed, there are few pedestrians on the street, and you can't feel the bustling atmosphere at all.

Magellan sat patiently, waiting for one or two talkers to give him some information, but in the end he couldn't wait.

The weather continued to change, and although the rain did not stop, it was rare for the day to light up as the afternoon passed.

But finally, the time came in the evening, and in the continuous rain, it was dark.
