Chapter 285: The Discovery of the Burning City
Opportunities need to be created by people, and the direction of decision cannot be easily changed. What kind of medicine is sold in Xia Yanfeng's gourd, Lu Xi and Dian Le don't understand, but the dream fish with a heart can roughly guess one or two.
After the warm sun penetrated the dense forest for a day, the trail was no longer so muddy, according to the direction marked on the map carried by Lu Xi, Xia Yanfeng led the team of four people to rush to the road, along the way, they were also cautious, for fear of encountering monsters or enemy attacks, but according to Lu Xi, Ji Chengyun's troops had withdrawn from Duolangan City, so even if they turned back at this time, there would be no danger.
However, the moment they stepped back into the city, the hearts of the four of them all "chuckled" at the same time, and most of them were cold.
The city of Dorangan had long since changed beyond recognition, the city was full of charred ruins and ruined walls, and the streets, as well as the fields that the Deng brothers had painstakingly cultivated for many years, were all barren and charred, and the night before, overnight, the city had withered in all its glory, and the gloomy air was filled with the scorching smell of burned corpses.
"Here...... It's a dead city......" Lucy inhaled a cool air, unable to calm down for a long time.
Dian Le was also moved, and there was an inexplicable indignation suppressed in his heart, and his fists were clenched tightly: "All the residents of the city have fled for their lives, and all the soldiers have died in the line of duty, damn it...... Ji Chengyun, and those Zhongguo bastards, I swear to slaughter them!"
"It's really singing and crying. Xia Yanfeng sighed, "However, the wood is already in the boat, the tragedy has happened, and we can't do anything, and there are not even half a living person left in Duolangan City." ”
"We have a more important mission to accomplish. Dream Fish swallowed her saliva, looking at the charred corpse lying on the ruins, her heart trembled, "But ...... I still think it's too pitiful for these warriors to be in such a violent wasteland. ”
"You want to build a tomb for them? Sister Mengyu, don't be funny. Xia Yanfeng sneered and closed his eyes helplessly, "Although I can't bear it, delaying the living for the sake of the dead is undoubtedly a stupid act." ”
"But......" Looking at this shocking everything, Mengyu grabbed Xia Yanfeng's arm, "Without the efforts of these warriors, it would be impossible for us to escape, even if you don't want to delay time, then at least you should find the bodies of the Deng brothers." ”
"That's right......" Xia Yanfeng was suddenly woken up, "We must confirm the life and death of the Deng family brothers, so that we can have a number in our hearts." Judging from the combat power of the two of them, it is not so easy to die in battle. ”
Lucy hurriedly said: "So, what does the captain mean ......"
"Look for their bodies! Even if they are burned beyond recognition, their weapons should be available. Xia Yanfeng asserted.
In this way, the four of them ran separately to rummage through the corpses in this dead and empty city full of corpses. Xia Yanfeng and Mengyu were the first time to plunge into this vast pile of dead people, and they couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs at the beginning, you know, Xia Yanfeng back then, even a dead mouse was afraid, Mengyu, a strong woman, was slightly braver than him, but if she stayed in the morgue for a whole night, she would have to be frightened and scared half of her life.
However, with their current will, they will soon be able to adapt, and the potential of the soul has not been developed in vain.
However, to the headache of the four of them, due to the burning of the fire, almost every corpse was burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to identify it with the naked eye, and they were wearing armor, and even their figures were roughly the same, which also made them search for a long time without results, and almost all the charred corpses everywhere were turned over. They don't have the equipment to analyze the human body professionally, and even if they do, there are no samples to verify, so if they go on like this, finding the bodies of Deng Qifeng and Deng Qiyun is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
However, Xia Yanfeng was not stupid enough to rummage through corpses, and the actions he made were simply completely unreasonable!
Xia Yanfeng walked along the middle of the road, stretching out his fingers all the way, and the electric light danced like fireworks, pouring down to both sides like droplets of raindrops, directly adding fuel to the fire of the mountains and corpses on both sides of the road, burning them more thoroughly, until there was a pile of ash left, and even the armor was left. It is not difficult to find that the armor materials of these fallen soldiers are all conductive, and the electromagnetic light swept all the way, and the streets were cleaned up without much effort.
Xia Yanfeng laughed secretly in his heart, Ji Chengyun's destruction of the corpse was not professional at all, the burning of the city and the burning of the corpse was so incomplete, any civilian entered the city, so as to expose their actions that night, and if Emperor Yuan Chen knew about such a thing, he would definitely think that Yuan Ye's younger brother was provoking him, and doing so was tantamount to pushing the Yuan brothers in a completely opposite direction, if so, the entire Zhong Kingdom would face a catastrophe.
Xia Yanfeng's purpose was not to find the corpse, what he wanted to confirm was only whether the Deng brothers were still in the city, if they were, then they must be dead, if not, then it was possible that they escaped, or they might have been captured by Ji Chengyun, but the latter two assumptions, no matter what, are better than the fact that they are dead.
At that time, he couldn't really remember the situation, how they withdrew from the city, and he didn't need to recall it, because Xia Yanfeng only needed to remember the characteristics of the Deng brothers, the armor and equipment on their bodies were different from ordinary soldiers, and the most recognizable thing was their weapons!
After cleaning up for most of the day, Xia Yanfeng simply helped Ji Chengyun and them do a good thing, but even if the corpses were clean, it couldn't cover up their crime of destroying Duolangan City, but in the process of cleaning up the sea of corpses, he always paid attention to the characteristics of each corpse ignited by thunder and lightning, if it was the corpse of the Deng brothers, then the armor on their bodies would be different, and it would not be so easy to conduct electricity and catch fire. However, Xia Yanfeng never found the two distinctive armors and the two shining weapons.
Around the city, Xia Yanfeng also released a large circle of magic, and felt a little weaker in his body. He rested on the pile of wood chips that had been burned to ashes, and after a while, Mengyu, Luxi and Dian Le also rushed over from three directions at the same time, and the three of them also had a lost face, and their hands were also stained with a layer of charred black, only Xia Yanfeng's palm was still white and pure. But the same thing is that the four of them feel very tired now.
"Captain, no...... It's exactly the same corpse, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Dian Le shook his head helplessly.
Mengyu also said: "Yanfeng, after working hard for most of the day, we have tried our best, but we really can't find it." There are so many corpses, and the tools are all the same, it's really tiring to find them. ”
"Thank you for your hard work. Xia Yanfeng smiled faintly, as if he didn't care, "It's okay, I can't find it, it's also in my expectation." ”
Lu Xi smiled bitterly and looked at Xia Yanfeng curiously: "Captain, Captain, you are different, we haven't found it, but it seems that the captain is directly burning the corpse along the street, right? I really don't understand, what are you thinking, Captain......?
"No need to look for it anymore!" Xia Yanfeng stood up and said categorically, "What do you think I'm thinking?"
"Captain, it's just two corpses, whether we can find them or not, they don't mean much to us. Lu Xi said, "It's just that the captain is doing this, I still don't understand, pushing the wind and waves like this is obviously helping Ji Chengyun and them destroy the scene more completely." Besides, if someone passes by in the vicinity, we will have to carry the black cauldron of the burning city. ”
"What you suspect is, but I'm doing it in the most straightforward way to do it. Xia Yanfeng said, "I'm not worried about people around here, do you think that if there is such a massacre, who among the ordinary people would dare to return to the city? Even if someone returns to the city, I will kill them as soon as possible." If the armor on the burned corpse is different, or if some other weapon is found in the corpse, then it is good to prove that the Deng brothers are indeed dead. ”
"Brother Yanfeng is really wise. Mengyu smiled, "It's just that brother, did you make any major discoveries by doing this?"
"Of course there are major discoveries. Xia Yanfeng smiled confidently, "It has been determined that the Deng brothers are not dead! If you also didn't find anything missing, then Deng Qifeng and Deng Qiyun are no longer in this city now!"
"Ah......" The three of them were startled at the same time.
Lucy pondered: "If they are not in the city, then where will they be? Abandoning the city and fleeing is obviously not in line with their style, and it seems that there is only one possibility for them to go......
"Yes, that's the possibility. Xia Yanfeng understood what Lucy was going to say, "They ...... has become a captive. ”
"Ah...... Then we're going to ...... next," Dian Le was stunned for a moment.
"Let's go!" Xia Yanfeng waved his hand, "I know you're all tired, and I'm tired too, but we can't rest in this ghost place all day, right?"
"Well, that's right. ”
In this way, the four of them reached a consensus again, and they rushed out of the direction where they came first and joined the Flying Eagles.
This was only the third day that Xia Yanfeng had come to Dorangan City, but the memories of two days ago seemed to him to be centuries away. Three days, as long as thirty years have passed, during which he has experienced the ups and downs of life, the highs and lows of his soul, the hesitation and resoluteness of his soul, and the whole sea of spirit has been baptized.
Xia Yanfeng is still the original Xia Yanfeng, but what has changed is people's hearts.
The black and gold knights marched on the wilderness, and Ji Chengyun swaggered on a blood ox, carrying a three-pointed two-edged knife, leading the team forward, majestic in all directions. Behind him, two knights carried halberds, and on each halberd, a naked man was tied to it, as if he was being grilled on a skewer. They were covered in blood, but they all opened their eyes angrily, gritting their teeth at Ji Chengyun, looking like a vicious wolf wanting to eat fat sheep.
These two men who were regarded as "skewers" were the brothers Deng Qifeng and Deng Qiyun who were captured in Dolangan City!
