Chapter 67: The Whale Plague
"Nine-and-a-half, nine-and-a-half? Are you listening?"
"Well, who are you? won't it be ......."
"I'm Hachiyu, I'm ......"
"Hachiha, you even have the ability to communicate directly with people with your thoughts?"
"Occasionally, and time doesn't last. But now is not the time to talk about this, nine and a half listen, Wu Liangzi has a problem, and the problem is not small. There's something she's hiding from us, you have to ......."
"What, what did you say about Wu Ryoko? Hachiyu, are you still listening? Hachiyu ???"
Eight Feathers' voice had just appeared in Nine Half's mind, and it disappeared in an instant. When Jiuhan turned his face to the other party, he only saw that Ba Yu had his eyes closed and was silent.
On this side, Wu Liangzi finally took his hand off the Fengtian Bell. The moment her hand was taken off, the woman's body slumped like a deflated balloon. Although the monarch of Pu Lao on the side was a little older, his eyes were quick and he hurriedly went up to help Wu Liangzi. With Wu Liangzi's paralysis, the others also gathered up at once, and although Jiuhan on the side had a somewhat puzzled look, he still walked to Wu Liangzi's side.
Pu Lao Guojun, who was holding Wu Liangzi, was a little anxious, and said, "Master Wu Xiaoxian, how is this Fengtian Bell in my country?"
"It's not a big deal, or rather....... It's a bit of a problem, but it's not in the way. Wu Liangzi gently broke free from the support of the king of Pulao, and after standing up, he wiped the beads of sweat from his head with his sleeve, and said softly: "The Fengtian Bell of your country was cast by a clever warlock with some kind of spell, so that every time the bell rings, whales will gather. Presumably, the monarch should know that the whale is an extremely hearing spirit animal, and the connection between the whales also depends on the chirp, so this bell chirping is a very important part. As long as the bell stops ringing, the whales will naturally not gather again. It's just that the spell in this Fengtian Bell is too clever, and I'm afraid it is not something that the little woman can unravel. After Wu Liangzi finished speaking, he bowed slightly and then stepped aside, and the entire bell tower fell into silence in an instant.
After hesitating again and again, after hesitating for a long time, under the focus of everyone's eyes, the monarch of Pulao finally made a decision: "From now on, the Fengtian Bell will stop ringing." ”
With Wu Liangzi's ability, she naturally knew that the person who gave the spell to this Fengtian Bell was her good master Shaohong. But in fact, she was in a foreign country, how could she say this? Is Wu Liangzi stupid? She is not stupid. She knew very well that if Shaohong cast a spell at this time, then I am afraid that it is not only her Wu Liangzi alone, I am afraid that she will not even be able to get out of the country of Pujiao alive with Jiuban and the others. You must know that the country of Pulao is located in the southeasternmost part of the mainland, and the country of the imprisoned cow is located in the northwesternmost part of the continent, although neither of them is a member of the alliance between the two countries, but no one said that it must be a friendly country, isn't it? Besides, as the saying goes, "distant friendship and close attack", but in fact, the emperor of such a high sky is far away, even if the king of Pulao forcibly suppressed Wu Liangzi and his party to coerce Shaohong to come and solve the spell that Fengtian Zhong was handed down? Everything is difficult to say. Even, whether Shaohong will abandon her Wu Liangzi, a personal disciple, to destroy the country of Pujiao, is uncertain.
But at least, the scourge of the country of Pulao was temporarily resolved, and everyone rejoiced.
But in reality, things are far from ending so easily.
A day later, when the monarch of Pulao practiced for nine and a half people in the palace of Pulao, a herald suddenly came to report: a large number of whales suddenly appeared on the coast of the East China Sea, the number far exceeded the sum of the previous whale restlessness, and there have been two whale kings who have successfully landed, and the whales in the semi-holy realm have also landed as many as eight, the situation is in crisis, and the East China Sea is almost unable to hold it!
The excitement of this news was huge, and he stood up from his seat almost instantly, and the excessive nervousness and excitement made him crush the jade wine glass in his hand in an instant, and his hands kept shaking.
Jiu Ban and the others standing on the side could only look at each other blankly, not knowing what to do.
The country of Pulao is surrounded by the sea on three sides, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the sea to eat the sea, not to mention that the East China Sea is surrounded by almost one-third of their economic resources, that is, once those whales attack the coast, the country of Pulao will not be able to resist at all! For many years, whales have almost never landed, and today's situation is something that the country of Pulao has never encountered, not to mention the entire Zhongcheng, and even the territory of the country of Pulao is probably no one who is the enemy of whales. It's not that there is a gap in the realm, or that the whale has an innate restraint against the people of Pulao Country, but this fear from the blood makes all the fighting desires that come from the hearts of Pulao people disappear and return to nothingness.
Jiu Ban and the others naturally saw this situation. As the saying goes, help people help send the Buddha to the west, and now he naturally can't ignore the situation, so he and Wei Xicheng and others got their weapons and rushed to the seaside of the East China Sea. However, before they left the main hall, the news of another herald arrived.
Due to the plague of whales, a large number of citizens of the country of Pugao flocked to the border between Pulao and Chin. Kissing the bright light of the three border cities, breaking the blood, Xiaoyue had no choice but to open the city gate to welcome the refugees. But in fact, there were too many people who escaped from the country of Pulao, and the three cities gradually became overcrowded, and the three cities had no choice but to start expelling the citizens of the country of Pulao.
In fact, although everyone likes water in the two countries, the difference in work and rest and living habits has led to many contradictions. There were more and more contradictions, and finally the straw that broke the camel's back came. When the first person to die as a result of the clash between the two peoples appeared, the contradiction between the people finally rose to the level of national contradiction. In fact, at present, in the land of the Kiss, Mingguang, Xiaoyue, and the three cities of Broken Blood are already in chaos. The people of Pulao who fled and the people of the country of the kiss formed a national contradiction in their eyes, and the country of the country even did not hesitate to forcibly suppress it by force, and for a time the border was in constant turmoil and rivers of blood.
In fact, before Jiu Ban and the others had finished listening to the report of the herald, they raised their weapons one by one and said hello to the king of Pulao, and rushed towards the coast of the East China Sea. They really can't intervene in the chaos between Pu Lao and Kiss, but for the matter of preventing whales from landing on the coast of the East China Sea, Jiu Ban and the others can do a little bit of strength. After all, in this country of Pujiao, at least a few of them have no innate fear of whales, and they should be able to play a big role. As for the monarch of Pulao, let him worry about diplomacy himself.
Nine and a half led people to the beach, and although Bayu seemed to be a little dissatisfied, he still followed. Lu Shu, I guess I'm still drunk in the wine cellar.
While speeding all the way, Wei Xicheng suddenly stopped Jiu Ban and the others as if he had thought of something: "Jiu Ban, you wait a minute! Are you sure we will go over like this?"
"Otherwise, what else?" Although he tried his best to keep his composure, Jiuhan really couldn't hide the anxiety and excitement in his heart. After all, Wan Duming was kind to him, and he himself was a prince who had lost his country, could he really watch this country of Pujiao face the danger of destroying the country and not lend a helping hand at all? That was definitely not the action of the nine-and-a-half. He slowed down and continued: "You must know that the people of Pulao have a fear of whales in their blood, and I am afraid that no one in this bell city can stop whales except us!
Facing Jiuhan's anxiety, Wei Xicheng waved his hand and said: "Jiuhan, you are sober, haven't you thought of a better solution?
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, can't we ask for help from other countries, for example, the country of the fierce?" Wei Xiyan's words hit the nail on the head at once, Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "You mean, 'Ten Thousand Miles Sea Barrier'?"
Seeing that Jiu Ban and Wu Liangzi both reacted, Wei Xicheng nodded and said, "That's right, it's the 'Ten Thousand Miles Sea Barrier' of the Fierce Country." Located at the far west of the continent, the country of the raccoon has been battling unknown species that have crossed the sea all year round. They built a sea barrier to deal with unknown demons, and they must have a certain way to deal with the country of Pulao against whales. ”
"So Brother Wei, you mean you're going to the land of the Raccoon to seek reinforcements?"
"That's right. Nine and a half, tell me, can you withstand it for three days?" Wei Xicheng's eyes were full of firmness and belief when he looked at Jiu Han, and his belief was exchanged for Jiu Han's determination, and Jiu Ban gave him a firm look in the face of his firmness, and said: "Of course, for three days, we will definitely be able to hold it!"
In this way, under the pursuit of Jiuhan's determined eyes, Wei Xicheng abandoned them all the way to the east, and went to the country of the fierce to seek reinforcements. It wasn't until Wei Xicheng disappeared from everyone's field of vision that Jiu Ban turned around and rushed towards the East China Sea with Wu Liangzi and Bayu.
In fact, looking at the back of Jiuhan, Bayu's heart was full of worry.
When Jiu Ban and the others arrived at the beach, they were greeted by a terrifying scene: the soldiers of the country of Pu Prison surrounded the city in a long arc to tightly enclose the position of the sea, and in that long arc, there were eight muscular soldiers-like men with sea-blue bodies on the shore who surrounded the two of them tightly. The eight soldier-like men were muscular, even angular, covered with some seaweed on their upper and lower bodies, and other than that, they were naked, even half of their buttocks were exposed.
In the center of the eight ocean-blue men, a man and a woman were surrounded. The skin color of the man and woman was not sea blue, but the color of ordinary people. In fact, the man and woman were no different from ordinary people, except for a little cover with seaweed all over their bodies. It's just that the woman is sitting in mid-air at the moment with her eyes closed, while the man is standing beside him and looking left and right, his eyes wary.
There is no doubt that the men and women who were surrounded in the center all exuded the aura of the Holy Realm, and the eight men covered in sea blue around them also gave people the feeling of profound skills.
Seeing Jiu Ban and the others coming, General Zhenhai, who had already been stationed on the beach, immediately greeted him. General Zhenhai, as the name suggests, is the existence of guarding the seaside. Among the nine kingdoms, there are generally two generals on the left and right, and this Zhenhai general is unique to the country of Pulao, but it is set up to prevent whale invasion. The name of the Zhenhai general who greeted him was Xirui, and he was the most powerful of the several Zhenhai generals. It is both smooth and conservative, and can take care of many things up and down. Therefore, although the ability to fight is not outstanding, it is actually firmly in this position. What's more worth mentioning is that during his tenure, this person created the first death squad specifically for whales. Although there were only 100 dead soldiers among them, and many important ministers in the court thought that there was no need to spend a lot of money to train a team, in fact, this man persevered, and allowed this team of dead soldiers designed entirely for whales to continue to the present.
It's just that at this time, the panicked Pulao Guojun has almost forgotten about this death squad under General Zhenhai under his command.
Xirui knew Jiuhan, and when he saw Jiuhan and the others rushing to him, he first hugged his fists and greeted him, and said, "Mr. Jiuhan, but you are here to help the East China Sea?"
"Exactly. "Because the rush was a little too fast, Nine and a Half was a little out of breath. He took a breath and was about to continue speaking, but it was the Zhenhai General opposite him who spoke: "Thank you, Mr. Jiuban, but you don't need to do it yourself for the time being." ”
"Oh, why, didn't you say that no one in the land of Pugao could fight against the whales?"
"That was before, and now it's not what it used to be. The Zhenhai general Ciri seemed to be a little complacent, and after he finished laughing, he pointed his hand in the direction where the whale was. Following Xi Rui's eyes, Jiu Ban and the others were stunned suddenly, and Ba Yu and Wu Liangzi even exclaimed in surprise.
It's incredible.
Ten whales in human form are standing on the shore at the moment, with the sand at their feet. Suddenly, the sand swelled beneath their feet, and out of it suddenly came a man in black, neatly surrounding the ten whales. Seeing the appearance of the ten black-clothed men, the eight sea-blue men were still able to maintain their composure, but the untransformed whales who were still in the sea were all terrified. All of a sudden, all of them chirped, saying that it was a roar, but in fact it was like a roar that shook the sky, and almost all the soldiers surrounding the transformed whales were shocked back a few steps. The chirping seemed to want to continue, but it stopped as one of the eight ocean-blue men raised his arm.
Ciri was also shocked by the whale's chirping, but he still slowed down and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Nine and a Half, and see that they are arrogant for a while, I, a hundred dead soldiers, will definitely call them to come and go." ”
But in fact, when he said these words, Xirui was a little unconfident. Before Ciri could speak, the battle had already begun. To everyone's surprise, the answer sheet handed over by the dead soldier under Xirui was extremely pleasantly surprised. One of the dead men in the middle rushed forward as if tentatively, and his feet made deep footprints in the sand. Then his right fist forward, as if he had exhausted all his strength, smashed into the chest of the sea-blue man opposite him.
That punch seemed to be bland in the eyes of everyone, so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, it had almost no other characteristics except for being fast, even the transformed whale was going to use its chest to harden it, but Ciri outside the battle circle showed a different smile.
Sure enough, the dead man did not disappoint him, and when his right fist was about to smash into his enemy's chest, the dead man's body suddenly twisted in a strange posture, and then retracted his right fist and made his left fist, and it actually struck the opponent's lower abdomen with lightning speed. The punch was like lightning, and what was even more terrifying was that a short sword appeared in the left hand of a dead man, and before the whale that had transformed into a man could recover from his senses, his short sword pierced into the belly of his opponent.
Seeing that the dead man had succeeded in his attack at once, a satisfied smile appeared on Ciri's face. He chuckled softly and said to the surprised Nine Halfs: "Mr. Nine and Half don't need to be frightened, what are the dead used for? Of course, they are going to die." What the 100 dead soldiers I have trained who live specifically to kill whales have to do is to be fearless in the face of death, and their only value for the rest of their lives is to use every opportunity around them to kill their opponents, and for this reason I even tried my best to deprive them of all the emotions in their hearts about 'timidity', so as to achieve the scene you see today. ”
Nine and a half turned his head, nodded blankly at the triumphant Ciri, and then turned his gaze to the battlefield.
The dead man in the battlefield was unforgiving, and followed with a successful blow, and then followed on the right hand, and sure enough, it was a short sword that stabbed directly into the chest of the whale that had turned into a human form, as if he wanted to make a contribution in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but God doesn't help him. At this time, the whale had already reflected, and with a slight wave of his left hand, he struck it back.
