Book 76 Escape

In the impression of the sick princess, most magicians need the assistance of magic arrays when using magic, and Zhou Shu is obviously an exception. She had seen Zhou Shu conjure creatures out of thin air many times, as well as weapons and that kind of strange candy.

There is a very popular fairy tale in the country of White Moon. The villain in the story is a demon who can create a zào life through his own blood. When she slashed through her delicate fingers, her bright red blood would immediately turn black when it touched the air, and then grow fur, muscles, blood vessels, and fangs on her limbs. There was a time when the image of Zhou Shu was extremely consistent with this demon in the head of the sick princess.

The black shield wasps surged in the sewers with a population of 10,000 per day, and Zhou Shu avoided the mother and daughter to arrange this group of super pests in a relatively hidden abandoned waterway, and ordered the group of guys to lie quietly and not buzz and vibrate their wings. The wasps are obedient, crawling densely on the pipes and walls as if draped in layers of black and yellow blankets for the sewers, a scene that can only be captured in horror movies. If someone gets lost and comes to this sewer at this time to see this scene, I am afraid that the chance of being scared to death is higher than that of being scared away.

This is the first time that Zhou Shu has hoarded summons to fight a tough battle, and judging from the increasing size of the wasps every day, two more days should be enough to cover a few people to escape from the city.

Kuaishou has been sending his subordinates to deliver food to Zhou Shu and them in the past few days, and the food is actually not bad. The thieves of the Green Leaf Regiment who were sent would also tell them about some things in the city so that they would not become blind and deaf. This made Zhou Shu have a good impression of this guy called Kuaishou.

According to the little minion, the Duke of Lantern has now ordered martial law throughout the city and no one is allowed to enter or leave under any pretext, including the caravan, and even the business behemoth like the Kou Chi Trading Company, which no one dares to offend, is trapped in the city. The official explanation for this was the capture of the most vicious infidels, and most of the people accepted and believed this statement, which shows that the prestige of the Duke of Lantern was very high.

The people of Kuaishou and the Green Leaf Group are not so naïve, they all know that there are people hiding in their secret sewers, and the current riot is caused by these people. Even if you don't know this, it is a joke that a duke who is so aggressive in dispatching troops is just a matter of pure faith. If it weren't for something that threatened his interests and security, he would definitely not have engaged in such a big battle.

For the scourge hidden in his own sewer, Kuaishou has been trying to deal with them in the past two days, trying to snatch the mother and daughter back.

The importance of Evoni and Nalolo to Kuaishou is second only to his life, or the importance of Evonini's sister Idreni is second only to his life. He is an ambitious man, and the most important thing in such a man is undoubtedly life and career. Among them, the career depends on strength to earn, and Idreni is the key to improving his strength.

In order to control Idreni to do things for himself, Kuaishou must ensure that the mother and daughter are in his hands and still alive. A magician is not as stupid as Sir Rhodes, who has been dead for half a year and is still there to fantasize about miracles. In contrast, the much more intelligent Idreni would occasionally ask Kuaishou to prove the safety of the mother and daughter, which is why the previous portrait was created, which is just one of the many means of proof proposed by Idreni. Kuaishou has also guessed some of the woman's personality recently, knowing that she is afraid that she will ask for proof to herself again recently, but damn it, the mother and daughter are not in their hands at the moment.

According to the agreement made by Kuaishou and Zhou Shu, the two of them would exchange hostages after the latter escaped. But Sir Rod's relatives have already been killed, and Kuaishou can't get anyone out at all, and naturally he can't get back the mother and daughter. In the past two days, he and his subordinates have come up with some ideas to deal with the matter, including reporting a few people to the duke, poisoning the food, and so on. But there is no guarantee that these ideas will not affect the mother and daughter, and they cannot be perfect.

Zhou Shu lived in the sewers for two whole days. In the beginning, Ivanini and Little Nalolo were very noisy, and they were afraid of falling into the hands of the Green Leaf Regiment again. Although Master Zhou explained to them that this was just a delaying tactic, they didn't believe it at all. Especially the eight-year-old girl, it was the time to be annoying, so annoying that Master Zhou almost wanted to find something to block her mouth.

The next day, perhaps the two of them were tired of arguing and suddenly stopped talking. The mother and daughter nested in the corner without saying a word, looking like they were resigned to their fate. It's very bleak.

The Great Library had received thousands of books donated by a person who called himself a 'Sage of a Hundred Hands', and the books arrived on this day. The library key is like a laptop that accepts all the books via the 'Wi-Fi'.

When Zhou Shu was amazed by the powerful wifi signal of the universe connection, the books that were sent made him disappointed. Zhou Shu secretly conjured books out of the library and piled them up next to the wasps, and the sudden arrival of books almost filled the remaining space of the hidden waterway.

These books are all books in the traditional sense, the kind of books that bind the pages of paper full of contents! The most important thing is that the text in the book Zhou Shu is not incomprehensible at all, and he has flipped through dozens of books at will.

No wonder the Hundred Hands Sage donates.

Zhou Shu was very disappointed, it turned out that these things were not valuable, and when he returned to the earth, he could buy them for tens of thousands of yuan and go to Xinhua Bookstore. The big library girl seemed to be very happy, and there was a rare emotional fluctuation in Furui Wubo's tone. Zhou Shu simply asked her to keep it, and asked her sick father to ask for a book of poems that she carried with her to pass the time, and also donated it to chat about her heart.

For these books, Zhou Shu also roughly turned some when he had nothing to do. The collection of these boundary-breaking powerhouses is definitely not too wasteful, and some of them are relatively easy to understand. For example, there is a book with a lot of illustrations, and it can be seen that the whole book is about a certain creature. The book is full of anatomical diagrams of the organ's organs, bones, and muscles, accompanied by extensive textual explanations. He felt that if he could read it, he might be able to read it with relish.

In the early morning of the fourth day, when the infidels were in turmoil in Lantern City, a large number of wasps suddenly appeared in the city, and a plague swept through the city. These wasps gather in one place like smoke and attack everyone they come across. Since it was early in the morning, the people who were killed were all soldiers on patrol.

The flying demons appeared for only half an hour, wreaked havoc in the city, and then flew to the outskirts. During this half-hour, four hundred and fifty soldiers died from bee stings, and zero were wounded. The sudden appearance of the killer bee caught these people off guard, and the soldiers had no experience in dealing with this situation at all, and they received an order from the whole city in the army to dare not leave their posts and flee for their lives without authorization, so the casualties were so large.

The people of Lantern City have spread the word of mouth about this, saying that the god of the sky sent his own messenger to punish the army, because there are high-ranking military officials who have offended his old man. Everyone in the army knew that more than a hundred giant elephants had appeared out of thin air when the Duke ordered the capture of the infidels, so it was not difficult for them to connect the two things. In the early hours of the next morning, the wasps reappeared. This time, instead of leaving, they launched an all-out assault on the defenders of Lantern City.

As early as yesterday, after being attacked by wasps, the military invited scholars and beekeepers to ask some knowledge about bee prevention. For the wasps that attacked again, they had some response this time. The army first collected all the combustibles in the city and made torches and distributed them to the soldiers to fight the wasps. Then he got a plant that bees hated and burned it in a fire. The pungent smell of these wild herbs when they are burned successfully restricts the movement of the wasps. The city's weapons research institute has also created a man-pressurized water cannon that can effectively break up swarms, and adding a little oil to the water can deprive wasps of their ability to fly.

These killer bees are also smart, they never go head-to-head with people, and they wander around the city in a group from beginning to end. As soon as a bee extermination team appears, they immediately flee, and as soon as the people leave, they come back.

How can a two-legged man fly over a six-legged bee? However, even if these wasps are not culled by humans, they will be much less numerous every other day, and they will die of natural causes.

After a busy week, all the wasps were removed. All five legions of Lantern City lost more than 2,000 people, and nearly half of them died, which is their record and the record of the Vespa. This disaster has greatly improved the bee prevention technology in the lantern area, and it has reached the most advanced level of the White Moon Country.

On the day of the outbreak of the bee plague, Kuaishou applied anti-mosquito medicine imported from the country of the forest and went to the sewer, wanting to discuss with Zhou Shu to see if he could borrow the mother and daughter for a few days. As he had hoped, Idreni sent a message from the imprisoned tower that he wanted to eat the meatloaf made by his sister in order to prove that his relatives were still alive. There is no way to be fast, so you can only ask for help.

As a result, when he entered the sewer, he immediately found two naked female corpses lying on the ground. The back of the corpse's head was pierced with a sharp blade, and there should have been no pain when it died. These two corpses are Evoni and Nalolo.

When Kuaishou saw these two naked corpses, his whole heart seemed to fall into his stomach pouch, his head buzzed, and his eyes turned black.

Even children are killed! Are these people evil spirits?

However, as a cultivator, he quickly picked himself up and searched for a frenzy in the sewers, wanting to kill someone. It turned out that the three people had long since disappeared.

After the number of black shield wasps was large enough, Zhou Shu decisively chose to evacuate in the early hours of the morning. He carried the golden sword as a hammer, and the void muscles were charged to the maximum, and most of the sewers were directly dismantled with a few slashes. The damaged load-bearing wall almost collapsed the sewer and killed all the wasps, but fortunately, Master Zhou's luck was good, and the collapsed stones avoided the place where the wasps were hiding. Then this group of immortal pests flew out of the ground, and the mother and daughter were once again carried on the shoulders of Zhou Shu and the sick princess, and easily climbed over the city wall under the cover of the bee swarm.

As for the original agreement to rescue Sir Rod's relatives, Zhou Shu and Princess Sick were not fools, and after seeing Kuaishou's words and deeds, they knew with their knees that they had already been killed.

They were abducted six months ago, and they haven't been heard from since, and there is very little chance that they will survive on these two points alone. With Kuaishou's attention to the mother and daughter, if the person is still alive, he will inevitably propose to exchange hostages first. But he didn't, and the truth couldn't be clearer.

After escaping Lantern City, the group headed north on the path, and the swarm of bees kept covering their heads to prevent the army from pursuing. There is nothing to say about the strength of these bodyguards, but they are too noisy and terrifying, so scared that Xiao Nalolo didn't dare to open his eyes and had to be carried by Zhou Shu and ran.

After the five of them reached a relatively safe position, the swarm was sent out to attack Lantern City to prevent them from gathering their pursuing force. They continued to advance northeastward, aiming for the defeated city.

The sick princess was sincerely shocked by Zhou Shu's magic, but it was a pity that this trick could not come in handy in the battle with the forest country.

The people of the forest country are located in the middle of a vast and dense forest, and there are few plains in the whole country, so they have a unique way of keeping mosquitoes and animals at bay. Every household in the land of the forest has a kind of ointment, which can be thrown into a bonfire and burned to drive away a creature other than humans. This is also the reason why the cavalry of the White Moon Kingdom is of little use to the Upper Forest Country even in the plains, and the horses will flee like crazy when they smell it. When the army of the forest country is dispatched, this kind of bonfire will inevitably be lit. Otherwise, if Zhou Shu summons a large number of beast armies to hoard them every day, he can directly destroy the country of the forest with a month's effort. However, these summons can be used to harass small groups of troops, as not all troops march with a stove.

After escaping all the way, Ivanini and her daughter finally believed that Zhou Shu and the sick princess were actually good people, as well as the kind-looking grandfather. The two good guys finally figured out why the fast hand slashed Evonini's sister, the magician of light and water, Idreni.

According to Evonini, Idreni's research in magic is 'the water-solubility of muscle-enhancing toxins in magic'. To put it simply, she has been working hard to dissolve the demonic resistance toxins in the muscles of cultivators who have exhausted their cultivation times. In other words, if her research was successful, then the upper limit of the number of cultivators' cultivation times would likely be greatly increased.

According to little Nalolo, her Aunt Renny has been able to flush out some of the toxins from her body through the guò melt water magic, and she can increase her cultivation times at least fifty times.

The sick princess's eyes lit up when she heard this. She is now sick and dying, and she will die in a year or two. But if she can raise the level of internal organs to the yang level, she may be able to resist the disease and prolong her life for a few years, and if she is lucky, she may even get rid of the title of sick princess completely.

Zhou Shu finally heard good news in the past two days, and he was sincerely happy for the sick princess. "So, with the help of that magician, you can cultivate to the yang level?"

"Not necessarily. According to calculations, I would probably need to cultivate normally one hundred and sixty times before I could advance, that is, I would cultivate eighty times on the top-level magic array. If you do three sets in a row, you need 60 times. ”

Zhou Shu was taken aback when he heard this, "Can this thing still be counted?"

The sick princess nodded. "It's calculable based on individual talent. After all, cultivation is just an strengthening process, as long as the body can be filled with magic power, this kind of thing can of course be counted. ”

"In other words, you are ten times short of making the cut?"

The sick princess smiled and nodded.

"Then you can still laugh?" "What's the difference between this and the teacher rewarding you with a 59 points on the final exam?"

The sick princess looked very optimistic, "The possibility of being promoted to the Yang rank is good news for me, and I naturally have to laugh when I am happy." And the skills of other magicians are constantly improving, and there have been people who have been solving this problem for thousands of years, so if I can be the first to benefit, I will go down in history, right?"
