Chapter Eighty-Three: The Burning of the City
I'm really sorry brothers, the first day of updates was slow. 3An old friend who had not seen me for a few months came back from Guizhou and pulled me to drink, but the drink was not over until now. The pig hurried back, and it was updated immediately, sorry everyone.
Behind the giant elephant are hundreds of demon beasts, some of which are still holding human body remains, and it seems that many people in the city have been brutally murdered.
Demon beasts have not appeared in the human world for decades, and almost none of the dozens of young soldiers in front of the city gate have ever seen demon beasts, let alone so many demon beasts appearing at once.
Seeing the giant elephant approaching step by step, everyone retreated, and no one dared to step forward to resist.
"Don't panic, put the jack gate down." Xiao Jiemo shouted.
Someone hurriedly climbed up to the city gate, trying to unlock the winch of the jack gate, but just as he got his hand, a spike shot up the city tower, bursting his brain.
"Mo Lin, follow me to close the city gate." Linghu Zi pulled Mo Lin and rushed up to the city tower together.
Ascending the tower, both of them gasped, and the giant elephant was striding over, less than thirty steps away from the city gate. Behind the giant elephant followed the brigade of demon beasts, many of which Mo Lin and Linghu Zi had seen on the swamp.
Strange snake fat relics, nine-headed beast stinging leech, wood charm mandrill, giant beast Bibi, fox demon?? and the fast and amazing water tigers are all shouting and mingling in the team of demon beasts.
"If they break into the inner city, it's all over." Linghu Zi wanted to get close to the winch, but there were several hedgehog-like demon beasts under the city that kept shooting the spikes on their backs into the city, like a rain of arrows, making her unable to get close.
"With your whip." Mo Lin reminded Linghu Zidao.
Ling Hu Zi shook his hand and wrapped the green snake around the winch.
"Let's work together." Mo Lin reached out and grabbed the green snake and pulled it hard with Ling Huzi. Under the force of the two people, the winch slowly rotated, and the jack gate descended little by little.
After this delay, the demon beast had already rushed to the gate of the city and forced all the soldiers into the city.
The giant elephant came to the jack gate, the two fangs were picked, and they were under the jack gate, and the huge iron gate weighing more than 1,000 catties was actually resisted by its fangs, and it could no longer fall half a point.
"Whew!" The giant elephant roared from its mouth and pushed upwards with all its might, and the strong walls of the inner city shook under its tremendous impact.
With a "bang", the wrist-thick iron rope on the winch was broken in response to the giant elephant's vigorous counterattack. Mo Lin, who was exerting his strength, and Ling Huzi fell to the ground together, almost rolling off the city tower.
The giant elephant resisted the jack gate, and the demon beast behind it marched noisily, trying to rush into the city from under the giant elephant.
At this moment, a frost-like sword light swept out of the city, mixed with blue light and shadow, like a raging wave, roaring and rushing towards the giant elephant blocking the city gate.
"White Crane Excalibur!" Ling Hu Zi couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw this sword light.
The giant elephant was probably also a little afraid of this sword light, roared, shook the huge elephant's head, and blocked it with its fangs.
The sword light was like lightning, cutting through the sky, and slashing at the fangs of the giant elephant with unparalleled sharpness.
There was a "click" sound, and the giant elephant's thick fangs were directly cut off by the sword light, and it fell heavily to the ground. And after the sword light cut off the fangs, it cut a deep scar on the giant elephant's ear.
The giant elephant wailed, retreated in panic, and the jack gate, which had lost its support, shook and slammed down, shaking the earth with a bang.
As soon as the jack gate fell, the inner city was temporarily isolated from the demon beasts, they were crowded outside the city gate, clawing and fangs under the city wall, but unfortunately the wall tiles of the city wall were too hard for them to tear apart.
The only thing left was a giant elephant with fangs and a roar, apparently resentful of the broken fang, and it lowered its head and slammed it headfirst into the jack gate.
The city gate was buzzing with a bang, and it had been loosened by the giant elephant before, and now it was hit again, and the masonry at the upper end of the city gate was a little loose, and a lot of dust fell. 3
The little monsters retreated away from the inner city and began to rush into the houses. Mo Lin and Ling Huzi could see clearly on the city wall, and many of the people hiding in their homes were torn to pieces. Seeing them being slaughtered, Mo Lin's chest was like a boulder, and he could barely breathe.
The giant elephant slammed the city gate twice, probably a little dizzy, and took a few steps back, and the other four fierce beasts behind it swarmed up, the wild boar with its head, the rhinoceros with its horns, the crocodile with its tail, and a huge lizard with its claws, although their size is not as good as the giant elephant, but the strength is also very amazing, the four demon beasts together exert their strength, and the jack gate is crumbling.
"If this continues, sooner or later the gates will be opened." Fox Zi said worriedly.
The five huge demon beasts led by the giant elephant were obviously specially used to deal with the city, if it weren't for Xiao Jiemo forcing the giant elephant back with a sword, maybe the inner city would have been lost a long time ago.
However, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the city gate will not last long, and it may be knocked open at any time, and then the city of 100 soldiers will be in the flames of war.
"In that case, open the city gate and fight to the death with the demon beast!" Mo Lin's chest was filled with blood.
"There are too many demon beasts, unless the head of the family and the four elders are there. But now there are still soldiers in the city, and there are also traitors......" Ling Fox Zimei was full of gloom.
As she was talking, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance, which made Fox Zi's face happy and said, "There are reinforcements coming!" ”
Mo Lin looked out, and saw that in the night, several small black dots were approaching from far and near, and the speed was rapidly approaching.
The monsters were obviously aware of the threat behind them, and they all stopped their wreaking streak and looked back.
A short demon beast jumped on the back of the giant elephant in three or two, opened its mouth and roared, it looked ugly and small, but under the roar, the sound shook the whole city, and the huge sound shook Mo Lin's eardrums.
"What kind of monster is that?" The demon beast seemed to be just a shadow, vaguely unable to see clearly, and Mo Lin's could only see a dark mass by the light of the fire.
"It's Shadow Fiend!" Ling Huzi exclaimed.
"What is a shadow fiend?" Mo Lin was puzzled.
"When I was a child, I heard others say that there is a kind of demon beast called Shadow Demon, they have no body, just a black shadow, as long as there is light, it will appear, elusive, very weird." Linghu Zidao.
"How can there be such a monster...... Mo Lin took out the miniature crossbow from his arms, aimed at the shadow demon on the mammoth's back, and snapped the spring.
"Aggressive" five sharp crossbow arrows shot out condescendingly, whistling through the night sky, and shooting the Shadow Demon impartially.
To Mo Lin's surprise, the Shadow Demon's body was really as substanceless as Ling Fox Zi said, and five crossbow arrows passed through the Shadow Demon's body and shot at the back of the giant elephant.
The giant elephant has rough skin and thick flesh, and where a few small crossbow arrows can hurt, at most it is just to tickle him. However, Mo Lin's actions reminded the giant elephant, it roared, turned around, and two huge elephants stared at Mo Lin on the city wall, and rushed over in stride.
"Let's go." Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Lin took Ling Huzi's hand, and didn't care about taking the stairs, so he jumped straight down from the city wall.
As soon as the two of them landed, an earth-shattering loud noise sounded behind them, and the entire city wall shook, although they were not knocked down, Mo Lin had already heard the sound of stones breaking.
"Bang" sounded again, and this time the city wall shook even more, and a boulder finally couldn't withstand the huge impact and fell down.
Mo Lin and Ling Fox Zi rolled on the spot in embarrassment, and the boulder smashed hard beside them, and the splashed gravel hit the backs of the two of them, scraping out a lot of scars.
The two of them escaped death, frightened and inexplicable, thinking that the demon beast was so strong, if the city was broken, I was afraid that no one in the city would be spared.
"Why don't you hide well, you have to run over and die." Ling Huzi suddenly punched Mo Lin hard, and said with a crying voice.
"I'm ......" Although Mo Lin said a lot of bold words to Luo Qianqian when he came, he was speechless at the moment.
"Why do you want to die with me!" Ling Huzi's emotions were tangled together, and he just wanted to cry.
"Be careful!" Mo Lin suddenly pounced on Ling Huzi's body and got out with her.
Another stone fell from the sky and smashed right on the place where Ling Hu Zifang was sitting, smashing the ground into a huge deep pit.
got out of danger, but the embarrassment between the two had just begun. Mo Lin pressed on Ling Huzi's body, the distance between the faces of the two was less than a fingertip, and each other's breathing was very short, I don't know if it was because of the dangerous oppression or because of such an ambiguous posture.
Mo Lin could smell the faint aroma of Ling Hu Zi's body, and he could also feel the breath of rapid breathing in her mouth spraying on her face, itchy and numb.
The two of them stayed like this for a few seconds, and it seemed like a thousand years had passed. Ling Huzi suddenly raised his head, and his lips pressed against Mo Lin's lips.
Although it was only a momentary union and then separated, Mo Lin was like being struck by lightning, his mind was in chaos, and only one thought was entangled.
"Did Ah Zi kiss? This...... What the hell is going on? If Qianqian knew, she would definitely be angry. ”
Seeing Mo Lin's dumbfounded appearance, Ling Hu Zi turned his head slightly, as if to avoid his puzzled gaze.
"Are you pressing me......" Ling Huzi's voice was as thin as a mosquito.
But in the chaos, Mo Lin still heard clearly, he hurriedly dodged away, his face was like a red cloth, and he stammered: "I...... I...... I didn't mean to. ”
Ling Hu Zi didn't turn his head, and in the danger of life and death, the two suddenly had a trace of tacit affection.
"Don't panic, guard the city gates!"
A loud shout exploded overhead, Mo Lin and Ling Huzi were awakened, and when they looked up, they saw Xiao Jiemo in mid-air, with a pair of dazzling white wings on his back, flying towards the outside of the city.
The two wings are made of white light, and there are complex blue patterns in them, Mo Lin guessed that the white light was conjured by the White Crane Divine Sword, and the blue lines were Xiao Jiemo's spiritual energy.
"That's amazing!" Mo Lin said enviously, "You can actually conjure wings." ”
"Do you think the crane character of the White Crane Excalibur is just an ornament?" Ling Huzi likes to see the focused expression on Mo Lin's face, she feels that Mo Lin at this time is like a greedy child who wants everything in the world.
"This is the Crane Wing Sky Soaring, the exclusive stunt of the White Crane Divine Sword." Linghu Zi said again, "But only the White Crane Divine Sword is not enough, you need to use spiritual energy to urge you to transform your wings." ”
Mo Lin clenched his fists and chased Xiao Jiemo until he crossed the city wall.
"Let's go up and see." Mo Lin Lala ordered Fox Zi to run up the city wall.
"It's too dangerous." Linghu Zidao.
"Danger also depends on it, this kind of scene is rare." Mo Lindao grabbed Ling Huzi's hand.
Linghu Zi was grabbed by Mo Lin's hand, and suddenly lost his strength. She could feel the calluses on Mo Lin's palms that had been beaten for years. The thick palm of the hand gives Ling Huzi a sense of stability, and it seems that if he is grasped by such a hand, he no longer has to be afraid of any wind and rain.
The two rushed to the city, and Xiao Jiemo happened to fall from the sky.
Although he is only one person, he has the spirit of looking down on the world, and he is independent among hundreds of demon beasts.
The demon beasts scattered one after another, leaving Xiao Jiemo with an open space, although all of them opened their teeth and claws, roaring and shouting, but none of them dared to come forward to attack.
As soon as Xiao Jiemo fell, he casually tidied up the placket of his somewhat messy clothes, and the two wings on his back trembled, gradually turning transparent and disappearing. Mo Lin only saw that the White Crane Divine Sword had always been on his back.
"Xiao Guiyan is not very good, but his father is really a hero." Mo Lin said in his heart, Xiao Jiemo's courage to fight the demons alone is already extraordinary.
"Is it Xiao Jiemo, the owner of the White Crane Divine Sword?" A gloomy voice sounded from the group of demon beasts, sounding extremely familiar.
Mo Lin and Ling Hu Zi looked at each other in shock, and sure enough, they saw Snake Sanqing coming out of the group of demon beasts and standing opposite Xiao Jiemo. The wound on the right side of its face was not yet healed, and it was bandaged with a white cloth, which looked a little more evil.
Xiao Jiemo glanced at Snake Sanqing coldly: "Humans and demon beasts have not been in contact for decades, do you want to start a war with humans again when you attack the Hundred Soldiers City?" ”
Snake Sanqing smiled and said, "We didn't plan to go against the soldiers, we just came to find someone." ”
"Who?" Xiao Jiemo was stunned.
Snake Sanqing's eyes rolled, but he didn't answer directly, but said, "If Elder Xiao agrees to open the city gate and let us search around, then we will never hurt people again." ”
"Jokes." Xiao Jiemo snorted coldly, "Do you treat the soldiers as a swamp and let you come and go?" ”
"If you don't agree, then don't blame us for being rude." Snake Sanqing screamed "sizzling", and the demon beasts behind him rushed up with a clamour. Looking at their formation, I am afraid that they will be able to engulf Xiao Jiemo immediately.
Xiao Jiemo let out a long roar, and the sound was really like a crane's song, straight into the sky. With the whistling sound, the White Crane Divine Sword behind him turned into a white light, rising into the sky, the sword let out a loud sword roar in the air, and the white light on the sword body flickered, illuminating the air in mid-air.
Mo Lin looked at the White Crane Divine Sword in a daze, and said in his heart that this was completely different from Xiao Guiyan's White Crane. If the White Crane Divine Sword is the sun, then Xiao Guiyan's imitation White Crane can only be regarded as the light of fireflies.
I thought that after studying the manufacturing process of the white crane, I could create a handy divine weapon, but now it seems that a real divine weapon is alive, just like the white crane divine sword in front of me, it has been out of the category of weapons, but a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side with Xiao Jiemo, with human nature.
As soon as the White Crane Divine Sword came out, the demon beasts who were originally eager to try it all stopped, and their eyes were full of fear.
The five-mangled divine weapon of the military family is synonymous with the strongest weapon on the mainland, and at this moment, a dazzling cold light erupted, making all the beasts within a hundred steps feel cold to the bone.
"It's too powerful." Mo Lin stretched out his hand and felt that the air was full of coolness. Originally, the night in the early autumn season was still a little stuffy, and the city was full of firelight, which made people feel even more depressed, but as soon as the white crane came out, it seemed that the heaven and earth immediately cooled down, and it was even a little cold.
"Dare to invade the City of Hundred Soldiers, you brutes, leave your life today!" Xiao Jiemo Lang said, his voice was calm and powerful, piercing the night sky, and every word was clear.
As his words fell, the White Crane Divine Sword in the air let out a piercing roar, and the white light on the sword body soared, and a white crane with wings flapping appeared in the white light.
As soon as the white crane came out, the white light instantly changed into transparent ice picks, and the temperature around it dropped a lot.
The blue light in the ice picks glowed, and Mo Lin could see it clearly, knowing that it was condensed with powerful spiritual energy.
Snake Sanqing took a few steps back in horror and shouted loudly: "Don't let him start, give it to me!" ”
The monsters also felt bad, and the feeling of being hung above their heads by countless ice picks was of course very uncomfortable. Hearing the shouts of the snake Sanqing, they finally couldn't hold it anymore and rushed up, wanting to tear Xiao Jiemo to pieces.
"Die!" Xiao Jiemo screamed violently, pressed his hands down, and the ice picks suspended in the air shot down like raindrops.
Dozens of flying monsters roared and slammed into the icicles, their wings blowing in a fierce wind, and the Monster Snake Fat Remnant flew first, and it struck back with its wings, hitting an ice pick.
A blue light burst out on the ice pick, and the fat monster screamed, and its wings couldn't move anymore, and its fleshy wings were covered with blue ice crystals, and they were frozen in a hurry.
"Bang" Fat Relic fell to the ground, and it flapped its wings angrily, shaking off countless pieces of broken ice.
The other flying monsters also had the same problem as Fatty, they either had fangs or claws, but they couldn't shoot down icicles. Some of the monsters were instead shot down by the icy psionic energy that the ice picks devoured.
More ice picks fell straight from the sky, the ice picks were extremely sharp, accelerating from the air, the impact force was very amazing, coupled with the cold spiritual energy on the ice picks, the lethality increased by a level.
The first wave of icicles rained down, and more than a dozen unlucky monsters bore the brunt of the ice picks. Some of their heads were bleeding, and some were even more tragic and were directly pierced through their bodies by ice picks, and their whole bodies were immediately blue and frozen into an ice sculpture.
However, there were too many demon beasts, and although the power of the icicle was huge, it could only kill a small part, and more demon beasts stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed towards Xiao Jiemo.
Mo Lin looked thrilling on the city wall, seeing that the demon beasts surrounded Xiao Jiemo like a tide, he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Should we go and help?" ”
Ling Huzi shook his head and said, "You can rest assured, even if Elder Xiao can't repel the demon beasts, there will be no problem in protecting himself." ”
Sure enough, as soon as Fox Zi's voice fell, the White Crane Divine Sword was overflowing, swooping down and falling into Xiao Jiemo's hands. He swung the White Crane Divine Sword, and with each blow, the blue and white sword qi swept out, and the demon beast that was hit was either cut into two pieces by the waist, or was hit by the sword qi and froze into a sculpture.
Mo Lin looked at the blood veins, and said loudly to Linghu Zi: "A good boy is born between heaven and earth, and he should be like Xiao Jiemo." ”
Ling Hu Zi saw Mo Lin's arrogance, and for a while he forgot that there was a lot of war in the city of a hundred soldiers, and he also forgot that the danger was beside him, and said in his heart that he looked like a child, how could he be so manly all of a sudden.
"Mammoth, kill him for me!" Snake Sanqing saw that Xiao Jiemo was powerful, and shouted loudly.
The monster beast giant elephant was named Mammoth, the largest among the monster beasts, it had been hitting the city wall, and since Xiao Jiemo came out of the city, it had been watching the battle with the other four giant demon beasts. At this moment, hearing the shout of the snake Sanqing, the shadow demon on the mammoth's back whistled, and the mammoth took a big stride, and the ground on which he stepped on made a clang, rushing towards Xiao Jiemo.
Just in front of the city gate, Xiao Jiemo cut off half of the mammoth's fangs with a sword, and the mammoth held a grudge in his heart. Now that the enemies are seeing each other, the mammoth howls loudly, and the momentum is earth-shattering.
The demon beasts that had been surrounding Xiao Jiemo dodged one after another, lest they be affected by the impact of the mammoth.
Compared to the mammoth, Xiao Jiemo was as small as an ant. However, seeing the mammoth rushing towards him, he was not afraid at all, and the White Crane Divine Sword in his hand slashed down in the air, and a blue sword light came out of his hand and slashed down sharply.
Seeing the sword light coming, the shadow demon squeaked, and the mammoth's original momentum of rushing forward was paused, and he stopped abruptly.
Xiao Jiemo's calculated blow fell into the air, and with a loud "bang", the sword light cut a bottomless pit on the ground. Although he missed the blow, the White Crane Divine Sword in his hand swung again and again, forming a blue light sword net in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Mammoth knew how powerful Xiao Jiemo was, but he also hesitated, and didn't dare to step forward for a while.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of trumpets in the distance, and a cold voice echoed in the air.
"You brutes don't hide in the swamp, but come to the city of a hundred soldiers to die, are there no one to bully my soldiers?"
In the long dragon, a blood red flashed, and as soon as Mo Lin's eyes broke, he saw a middle-aged man in white appear beside Xiao Jiemo. He was carrying a blood-red spear behind him, and it was Sun Qi, the head of the Bing family.
Snake Sanqing was startled, immediately hid in the group of demon beasts, and said sharply: "Sun Qi, if you agree to our conditions, you can ensure the safety of the Hundred Soldiers City, otherwise today will be the day of the annihilation of your soldiers." ”
"Hmph......" Sun Qi didn't reply at all, his nose snorted coldly, and suddenly let out a long howl.
Immediately, his voice resounded in the air.
"Farmers and gentlemen, please come to the gate of the inner city quickly, if one of them comes late, don't blame my grandson for being ruthless."
Before he could finish speaking, the red gun on his back shot into the sky, bursting with dazzling red light in front of everyone's eyes.
Mo Lin looked up and saw that the red spear had transformed into a blood-red dragon, winding the dragon's body in the air, his face was hideous and terrifying, and an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in his heart.
