Chapter 114: The Demon Bird Hibernates
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Looking at Wei Xicheng's frightened face, even Jiuhan had to pay attention to it. At this time, their attention had completely shifted from the damaged jade pendant, and Wei Xicheng also took the jade pendant into his arms without saying much.
Nine and a half trust Wei Xicheng, the latter is not only a relationship of partners for the former, but also a trustworthy predecessor and a shoulder to rely on. If there was no support from Wei Xicheng along the way, I am afraid that Jiuban would not have been able to survive to this day. At the critical moment, Wei Xicheng was not only able to give up himself to protect Jiuhan and the others, but this kind of courage alone made Jiuhan have to admire, and he couldn't help but worship him.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva into his throat, Wei Xicheng said carefully word by word with the curious eyes of Jiuhan and Bayu: "On the Leyan Mountain Range, there is an army, and it is not an ordinary army. It was by no means a subordinate of the Nation of Imprisoned Ox, and that force seemed to be a secret force of some country, lurking in the Leyan Mountains extremely hidden. If I hadn't been watching closely and getting so close that I was almost on the verge of being discovered, I wouldn't have noticed the other person's existence at all. β
Listening to Wei Xicheng's words, Jiuhan's eyes instantly became solemn. You have to know what the Leyan Mountain Range is? It is the first layer of support of the Prison Cow Country, and it is its first line of defense against the Janus Country. Thinking of this, Jiu Ban hurriedly asked, "What did Brother Wei see, can you tell us in detail?" And Brother Wei, have you clearly seen whether there are any special marks on that unit, or which country they belong to?"
"No, nothing. Speaking of this, Wei Xicheng's forehead gradually became sweaty, as if he was recalling something bad, and his expression was a little nervous. "Do you know Dororo?"
"Dororo, is it the demon bird Dororo???" Nine and a half didn't react when he heard the name, but the eight feathers on the side shook his body violently and then asked a little creepy: "Is it the legendary 'seven feet tall, wings can reach the sky' demon bird Dororo?"
Looking at the eight feathers, Wei Xicheng nodded very affirmatively, and then spoke solemnly. At this time, his expression had gradually regained his composure, but the solemnity in his eyes had not diminished in the slightest. "One of the reasons why the country of imprisoned cattle has been able to maintain a stable status quo for many years is that the existence of the Leyan Mountains has played a big role. The Leyan Mountain Range is a natural danger that blocks the communication between the prison cow and Jairus, which makes it so that as long as one side wants to send troops, the other side has an absolute advantage and time to arrange troops. As long as the king or commander of the enemy country is not stupid, then there is little hope for one side to capture the other. β
However, this situation can only be used to discuss the deployment of troops on the ground battlefield, and as long as one side has an air force, then this balance will be upset in an instant. The country of the overlord is not belligerent, and if the wind wants to attack the prison cow, there is no need to go far, then the only possibility is that these demon birds Dororo are the troops of the country of Jairus, and the only reason why they are ambushed on the Leyan Mountains is that Jairus is ready to make a move on the prison cow. It is very likely that the sending of troops south by the country of Jairus is only a pretense at this time, and the ultimate goal of Jairus and Mockery is to eat the prison ox and then bite the overlord to death, and conquer the two most powerful and long-standing countries on this continent in one go. β
Eight Feathers and Nine Halves listened attentively, and there was a longing glint in their eyes. For Jiuhan, although he has really read a lot of books, in fact, the only thing he knows about leading troops to fight is that "strange soldiers win near victory", and if he really wants to lead troops, I'm afraid it will only be "talking on paper". But at this time, when he heard Wei Xicheng's analysis, although his expression was serious, he was also calculating quickly in his mind, but soon he had a doubt, so he asked: "I don't think this is likely, right? Maybe it's a private army raised by a certain adult in the country of the Prison Ox? You must know that the forces that some imperial courts do not control are very likely to be controlled by some local officials, isn't there a saying that 'strong dragons do not suppress the head snake of the ground'?"
As soon as Jiuhan's words came out, he regretted a little, and he seemed to feel that what he said was too naΓ―ve. Sure enough, Wei Xicheng shook his head and smiled and said, "Nine and a half, either you are too young and your thoughts are too simple." Then he pulled out a knife from behind his back, pointed to the ground in a circle, as if he were drawing a map, and then said, "Come and see, follow my instructions." Look here, it's the country of Jairwood, right? The western border of Jairus is the Leyan Mountains, and the demon bird I found Dororo had already crossed the Leyan Mountains a few days ago and hid on the western slope of the Leyan Mountains. So next you look here, this is where we are Huqin City, Huqin City is a full 200 miles away from the Leyan Mountain Range, do you know what that means?"
Jiuhan shook his head, and all this was obviously expected by Wei Xicheng. "What is the concept of two hundred miles, the concept of two hundred miles is that as long as the cavalry of the country of Jairwood crosses the Leyan Mountain Range, then it will only take them two days to rush from the foot of the Leyan Mountain Range to Huqin City. And in this process, we count the time for them to attack the city and repair it, which means that if everything goes well, as long as the heavy cavalry of the country of Jairus, that is, the legendary 'thunder horse', climbs over the mountain, five days later will be the day when the country of the cow will be broken. β
"In reality, the situation is much more serious than that. The country of the imprisoned ox has been cultivated for many years, and the military is extremely tired, and the 'thunder horse' of the country of Jairwood is a real army of a hundred battles. Although today's Lei Cavalry is no more than 10,000 people, these 10,000 people have been killed with real knives and real guns. For example, the simplest example is that in the battle of destroying the country, all the thunder cavalry were heroes on the frontal battlefield......"
All of a sudden, as if he had thought of something, Wei Xicheng's voice became lower and lower, and the eight feathers on the side also winked at him. At this time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Nine and a half, I didn't mean that......"
"It's okay Brother Wei, you continue. Although Wei Xicheng stood up, Jiu Ban did not stand up, but still squatted there staring at the ground with a serious expression. At this time, a map had almost been formed in his mind, and the battle situation was basically clear at a glance. Seeing the state of the ninth half, Wei Xicheng hurriedly squatted down and then continued: "Actually, thunder riding is a trivial matter, and more importantly, the demon bird Dororo, this is their killing move." β
"When the demon bird Dororo had not disappeared, this era of racial domination of the sky was called the 'post-dragon era' after the disappearance of the dragon. They are able to soar into the sky and then swoop down, inflicting irreparable damage on their enemies with both huge pecks and sharp claws. What's even more terrifying is that this demon bird is immune to most spells, and the best of them can even master some spells, so ......"
"So only extremely powerful rogues or warriors can inflict harm on them, right?" said Jiu Ban with a determined look in his eyes. At this moment, the young man's eyes were like those of a soldier who was about to enter the field, as if he would never return.
When Wei Xicheng saw this kind of look, he appreciated it from the bottom of his heart. But in fact, he only sighed softly and said, "Yes, I hope so." Hopefully, the land of the Cow Prisoner will have a samurai strong enough to kill a huge number of Dororos. You must know that there are hundreds of demon birds I saw in the Leyan Mountain Range, and I am afraid that the number is not small. β
"And even more serious is time. If these demon birds Dororo attack soon, the country of the Imprisoned Ox will not have much time to deal with it, and as long as they succeed in extending the battle line for eighty miles, the thunder horses of the country of Jianhua will be able to cross the Leyan Mountain Range within ten days, and I am afraid that everything will be ...... by then."
"It's too late!" Nine and a half interrupted Wei Xicheng's words, he turned his head to look at the girl standing next to him, and after feeling the firmness in the other party's eyes, he said to Wei Xicheng: "As long as you want to do anything, then now is the best time." Aren't those demon birds still moving? Then as long as Shaohong helps, everything is not a problem. Not to mention, we still have eight feathers, right? as long as we build a barrier in advance and set up a powerful illusion field near the mountains, then everything should not be a problem. β
It is true, although the situation is grim, in fact, everything is not irreparable. Wei Xicheng looked at Jiu Ban and then at the eight feathers beside him, and suddenly his worried heart gradually slowed down. Fate is indeed terrible, but what is even more terrifying is people's struggle against fate. A heart that is always resolute on the road, then everything is not without a chance to turn back.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and Jiuhan seemed to feel someone flashing behind him, so he turned around sharply and shouted loudly: "Who!" The sound was as deafening as thunder, so that the eight feathers beside him couldn't help but cover their ears, but in fact, there was no one behind him, only a feather fell from the air and was caught in his hand, it seemed to have a familiar feeling.
"What's wrong?" Wei Xicheng's concerned voice came, but Jiu Ban tightly clutched the feather in the palm of his hand and then turned his head, smiled, and said to Wei Xicheng: "It's nothing. Brother Wei, let's do it next. I have something to leave now, there may be my old friend here in this Huqin City, and I am going to see him. You take Bayu to Shaohong's mansion first and inform Shaohong of everything first, and I will arrive later. β
Despite the doubts in his heart, Wei Xicheng still didn't ask much. He just took Bayu's hand, and then said to Jiuhan: "Be careful." Then he turned and galloped away with the eight feathers.
Watching Wei Xicheng and Bayu leave, Nine and a Half looked at their departing figures from a distance, but the loneliness in his eyes became more and more intense. He turned around resolutely, looked at the feather in his hand again, and then climbed the wall and sped in one direction.
When Jiu Ban and Wei Xi were separated in the alley, in Shaohong's mansion, Ba Yu had already listened to Wu Wei's report with a serious face, and his expression was a little unpredictable.
Wu Wei has always done things neatly, and when the report was over, he stood up and waited aside, not saying anything. At this time, Wuwei's inner emotions can be said to be very rich, or full of interesting meanings. He looked at Wu Liangzi's face with an extremely wonderful expression, from entanglement to disgust to self-affirmation and denial, it is a layered and progressive change, like a big show, but it is almost over.
Sure enough, the drama soon came to an end. Wu Liangzi, who was furrowed, got up cleanly, put on his coat and opened the door and went out. When she was about to go out, Wu Wei asked behind her, "Master, are you going to ......?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Wu Liangzi's voice was cold, as if it was the Nine Heavens Xuan Ice, which made people tremble. "You continue to keep an eye on Hachiyu and don't touch her for a while. As soon as she finished speaking, she went out without looking back, and Wu Wei looked behind her, and found that she was walking to the room where Shaohong was, and then she knew it and left.
Be sure to meet Shizun before Wei Xicheng returns. This is Wu Liangzi's thoughts, and at this time, her inner thoughts seem to be a little excessive. Although it has only been a short time, in fact, a woman's heart has undergone earth-shaking changes. When Wu Liangzi really began to face up to her feelings for Jiuhan, she decided to use all means to eradicate dissidents, so that Jiuhan was the only one left by her side, which was really the best.
He already had a Qiao He, why did another eight feathers pop up? Obviously, I am the person who has been by his side for the longest time, but I am also the most inconspicuous one. I don't know what to say, I don't want to take the initiative to make him think I'm an active woman, but if this continues, I'm afraid he won't shift his attention to himself for the rest of his life, right?
If Ba Yu and Wei Xi Cheng saw Shaohong first, then not only would the credit for the report fall on them, but I am afraid that because Ba Yu himself is a hallucinator, he has an extremely high attainment in magic and eye obstruction. If she takes all these two credits, I'm afraid she will be even more inconspicuous next to Jiuhan, right?
The woman's heart was full of needles, so Wu Liangzi decided to go to Shaohong first, and as for the reason, he said that he had eyeliner.
Outside Shaohong's Mansion, Ba Yu and Wei Xicheng were rushing over at great speed, and farther away, Jiu Ban was also galloping in the opposite direction. The feathers in his hands were so familiar that he could almost follow the scent of the feathers to trace the location of its owner. The breeze blows, and many past events come to mind. When many things were unfolding in front of me one by one, I realized that I had come so far.
Since the destruction of the Negative Country, in less than a year, he has traveled all over the entire continent except for other lands outside the Eye, and even the Land of the Mocking Wind has gone around and retreated, which is almost not amazing. Despite all the experiences he had experienced, what he wanted so far was still far away, and it could almost be said that he had completely lost Qiao He. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the feather in his hand, thinking that the owner of this feather and his mustard were the deepest, but the fate was not shallow. It's amazing that after such a long time, you can still encounter it in the country of imprisoned cows.
Thinking about it, Jiuhan suddenly stopped. By this time he had jumped from the roof of the house and entered the alley, but a figure dressed in black stopped him in front of him.
The light in the alley was not bright, and the person in front of him was hidden in a black cloak and couldn't see his face clearly. But with that familiar feeling and the connection between the feathers on his hand and it, Jiu Ban still vaguely determined the identity of the other party.
"Luan, is that you?"
Jiu Ban opened his mouth, but he didn't expect the other party to raise his hand to reject him, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You don't care who I am, it has nothing to do with you, but you have to remember what I said next." There are one hundred and twelve demon birds on the Leyan Mountain Range, which are secret troops belonging to the country of Jairus, and directly belong to the Lord of Jairus. Those demon birds Dororo do not accept any human commanders, the reason is that the bird king among the one hundred and twelve demon birds has broken through the confinement of his own body and cultivated to the holy realm, and he is the only demon beast on the continent that has evolved his intelligence, and his strength is also extremely terrifying, you have to pay attention. β
"But......" Jiu Ban wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance to explain or continue to speak, turned around and jumped on the roof and then sped away, without saying a word.
Nine and a half were very confused, puzzled by the other party's identity, voice, and purpose for doing this. However, these doubts were useless, and when he was puzzled, he found a few drops of blood from where the other party had just stood.
Bright red and bright bloodstains.
