Chapter 679: Who's Undercover
Su Ze asked Xianlu what to do with Bai Mengxue's body, and Xianlu said that the Irons Empire used ice burial, that is, the body was sealed in ice, and then put it in a private or public ice cave for relatives to pay tribute to in the future. The climate of the Irons Empire is similar to that of the Teswan Empire, where it snows twice a year, and the remaining two seasons are either melting snow or preparing for snow, so this burial method is also reasonable.
Xianlu was ready to bring Bai Mengxue's body back to the Irons Empire for an ice burial, Su Ze had no opinion, but he cut off Bai Mengxue's long hair - since the responsibility was shared, then he would definitely not give up the right to bury Bai Mengxue.
When Su Ze and the others returned to the village, Qin Yu and the others had already found the small hotel with the most abundant food and charcoal, and took the three of them in. It's just that Bai Mengxue's corpse is very perishable in a high-temperature environment, so Xianlu can only endure the pain and leave her outside the house, fortunately, no one will have the idea of hitting a bunch of hard corpses.
Prior to this, Qin Yu, Chen Feng, and Su Qi had already disposed of all the corpses in the hotel, and Fan Xiao and Su Xing'er, the two well-informed princesses, also endured the desire to vomit and took the initiative to take on the work of cleaning the blood stains. Without their full cooperation, when Su Ze and the three of them entered the house, there would be no ready-made hot meals, hot dishes, and hot water.
During the meal, among the eight people at the table, none of them laughed, or even made a sound. Everyone was afraid that they would not pay attention, which would arouse everyone's memories of the corpse-strewn and skeleton-like coast, causing everyone to spit out these precious foods, so it was not until everyone finished their lunch silently that Su Ze gently slumped on the chair and said with appreciation: "The first time I killed a life was when I was ten years old, and the master handed me a black rock pig cub with five flowers tied up and taught me how to kill it and how to torture it. In order to survive, I did so, otherwise there would be no food at noon, but I remember very well that for three days in a row, I vomited at the sight of meat and had to feed on grass. For this alone, you are better than me, and the world is reserved for the living, and you can only live if you can eat. ”
Li Shasha leaned lightly against Su Ze's side, shook her head and said: "You think too much, where are we strong with you? All of you here are the best among the young generation of summoners from all over the world, regardless of their background, at this age, who doesn't have a few lives in their hands? I have already seen dead people, so I won't be so scared that I can't eat, but today's incident is too tragic, and I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”
"Alright, okay, don't talk about these frustrations now. Qin Yu leaned back in the chair following Su Ze's example, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "We are very lucky, this is the Second Empire, with low temperatures all year round, sufficient reserves of charcoal and charcoal, and various ingredients are also resistant to preservation, relying on these materials, we should be able to live for a long time." But we can't just sit back and wait, have you ever wondered how we're going to get out of this place?"
Su Xing'er said: "I've seen several hotels nearby, not to mention the snow pelican cart, even those ordinary horses have been killed by Black Cherry." Those black cherries must be locals, and they are very familiar with the terrain of the Teswan Empire, and most of the demons are ice and snow, even if there is no long-distance carriage, they must have the certainty of smooth advance and retreat. Like us, guarding a village is like being trapped in a secret room. If it's summer, it's fine, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a map in the village that you can read, and you can just return to Emperor Crocodile City along the road. But now that the wind and snow are blowing, even if the snow stops, there is only a blank of snow outside the village, and it is blind to hold the map, so I should have to wait for rescue. ”
Fan Xiao counted with his fingers: "We set off from Emperor Crocodile City, and we didn't encounter wind and snow obstacles along the way, just like that, the snow-stepping pelican that ran on the snow like walking on the ground also drove for half a month. It is conservatively estimated that Emperor Crocodile City realizes that we are trapped, at least it will be half a month later, and it will take half a month to get here from Emperor Crocodile City, and we may have to make plans to live permanently. ”
Chen Feng was more pragmatic, and when he learned that the eight of them still needed to stay for more than a month, he only said: "Food and charcoal should be enough." ”
At this moment, Li Shasha recalled the picture of Leng Qiu riding a giant dragon soaring in the sky, so she tugged on Su Ze's sleeve and said with a light smile: "Although we don't know the way, we still know the general direction of Emperor Crocodile City." You and Xianlu both have adult dragons, and when you have enough spirits, you can fly us directly to Emperor Crocodile City, a few days is enough. ”
"No, you can't. Hearing Li Shasha's suggestion, Fan Xiao and Su Xing'er gave a negative answer in unison. Then the two of them glanced at each other, and under Fan Xiao's humility, Su Xing'er explained: "For an empire, an uncontrolled dragon is tantamount to a natural disaster, so unless it is explicitly ordered by the king, even the dragon knights of their own country cannot fly in the airspace of their own country, let alone the dragon summoners of other countries." Although we have a reason for this, it is better not to make a taboo rashly until the last moment. ”
After listening to Su Xing'er's explanation, Su Qi had a flash of inspiration and rushed to say: "Sister, it is a matter of life and death for the elite students of the Six Kingdoms, once Emperor Crocodile City senses the abnormality here, King Hawking should order the Dragon Knight Legion to rescue quickly." If a dragon knight comes on a dragon, then we will be rescued in more than half a month at most. It's okay, I can still bear it for half a month, but I'm going to get sick if I last a long time. ”
"Hmph, it doesn't take half a month for the news to reach Emperor Crocodile City at all. Hearing everyone's optimistic remarks, Xianlu, who was speechless, suddenly sneered: "Among those people sent by the Teswan Empire, two of them have heroic spirits, and Condham Biyun and Pasius Mode Mirror died under the butcher's knife of Black Cherry together, and their heroic spirits must have already returned to the ancestral spirit halls of the two families." With the pride of the famous family on the real surname, the ancestral mourning hall must be cleaned every day, so within 24 hours, the two heads of the family will jointly report to King Hawking to send troops to rescue. What you said is right, it is a matter of life and death for the elites of the six countries, and the king naturally does not dare to slack off, and will definitely order the dragon knight legion to rush over. If nothing else, we will be rescued in three or five days. ”
"Don't get too excited, though. Without waiting for Qin Yu and Su Qi to jump up happily, Xianlu continued: "The number of Black Cherry who attacked us is as high as two thousand, and the sacrifice is even a full nine people present, not surprisingly, this should be the entire combat power of Black Cherry in the territory of the Terswan Empire." With so many people, just rushing here from all directions of the Teswan Empire would take a month or two to travel. Think about it, if it weren't for someone in the know, who could have hatched such a vicious and sinister plan months ago?"
Su Ze asked rhetorically: "Do you think this is a trap set by King Hawking and Black Cherry together?"
"It may not be royalty, but the Teswan Empire is definitely not clean. Xianlu said categorically: "Everyone died, only a few of us survived, it stands to reason that your Sixth and Seventh Empires have zero casualties, and it is most reasonable to suspect that your two countries are spies." However, I have seen the ins and outs of the matter, you killed all the two thousand black cherries, and Princess Fan Xiao also saved my life, I really have no reason to doubt you. So if the logic is corrected, in order to clear the suspicion of joining forces with Black Cherry to kill the elites of various countries, the Teswan Empire does not hesitate to let its young talents serve as cannon fodder to arouse sympathy, then all this makes sense. ”
Hearing this, Su Qi couldn't help but shudder, frowned and asked, "Wouldn't it? In order to clear the suspicion, he did not hesitate to let others be cannon fodder, how could there be such a vicious person in the world?"
"When the forest is big, there will be any bird. Xianlu said with a solemn face: "I advise you to be careful, when the Dragon Knight Legion of the Second Empire descends from the sky, who knows if they will come to save us or kill us?"
