[740] Iron chains
A strong storm roared outside, and the yellow sand hung between the sky and the sky, and it was dark that it was impossible to distinguish between day and night. The door is open, and from time to time a lot of sand particles fly in from the dense holes that serve as breathables.
The ghost soldiers under Ke Yun had to take a long thin wire every once in a while to poke the small holes on the door that were only half a finger thick, so as not to block the vents by the wind and sand.
They have been walking for a long time in this place where the wind and sand do not know when they will come, and they are always equipped with complete equipment. No matter how big the wind and sand are, it can't be difficult for the ghost soldiers of Huangquan.
The roof is excavated, and in the breathable holes the thickness of human souls' fingers, there is also sand and dust falling from time to time. But because of this, the house is not stuffy.
At the edge of the campfire, the flames dispel the chill of the sandstorm. Xiao Shizhu, who listened to Ke Yun's narration, didn't eat two bites. The raw jerky is the jerky again, and it is also raw. As a ghost from the underworld, you can't get used to it. But not long after listening to Ke Yun, he became hungry again. So you picked up the jerky and put it on the bonfire and baked it.
After a while, the jerky exuded a rich aroma of meat, and several of his subordinates moved their index fingers. They followed his example and put the jerky on the fire to roast first.
Only Ke Yun and their Huangquan ghost soldiers were still eating raw dried meat, and they didn't even frown. In Huangquan, a world with a strict hierarchy, it is not the nobles who do not have the right to use good and eat well. They have long been accustomed to the life of Ru Mao drinking blood, the raw dried meat is good without blood, and a lot of condiments are added to marinate, which is already a delicacy in their eyes.
On the contrary, Xiao Shizhu's way of eating is a little strange in Ke Yun's opinion, but they are all a little curious.
"So the east is a place surrounded by miasma?" Xiao Shizhu asked again after the piece of dried meat in his hand was completely cooked, "Is it a miasma that is harmful to the body?"
"No, the miasma in that area is not harmful to the body. However, the smoke gathers all year round, and the smoke is white and vast, blurring the forest and mountains, and the visibility is very low. Ke Yun said this, and saw Xiao Shizhu take out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve. I don't know what's in the bottle. The curious Ke Yun was immediately attracted by the small porcelain vase in Xiao Shizhu's hand, and forgot to continue.
I saw Xiao Shizhu open the porcelain bottle, shook out some red powder from it, and sprinkled it evenly on his jerky. Ke Yun smelled a spicy smell, and choked a little, and after suddenly knowing that it was chili powder, he asked curiously: "Will the jerky taste good if you make it like this?"
After saying that, the Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the grunt sound was very clear.
Xiao Shizhu looked at her straight eyes that had been staring at the jerky, and after looking at the jerky, he handed the jerky out without thinking: "Why don't you taste it?"
Ke Yun was a little caught off guard by his sudden move. But after his face was still flushed, he nodded slightly, reached out and gently tore off a small piece of jerky. I never had the cheekiness to take the whole piece of jerky.
"Nowadays, among the five directions of Huangquan, the place with the best climate is Middle Earth. Holding the jerky sprinkled with chili noodles, Ke Yun didn't rush to send it to his mouth.
"I guess this place has been taken over by the ghost soldiers of Xudu. Xiao Shizhu, who picked up a piece of new jerky, asked, and handed the porcelain bottle containing chili peppers to Shi Cassia Ming, who also wanted chili noodles.
"Yes. Ke Yun, who nodded, then said: "There are also the north and the east, which have been completely occupied by the ghost soldiers of Xudu. They burned and looted everywhere, drove and hunted us like pigs and sheep. Now only the south remains, and it is a place where our ghosts in Huangquan can still be in a safe corner. ”。
After saying this, Ke Yun had a little more sadness in her eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head, so as not to let Xiao Shizhu and them take advantage of the firelight to see the tears in her eyes. The surrounding Huangquan ghost soldiers were all sad, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Xiao Shizhu understands their feelings very well. If before he came to the underworld, he still didn't have a personal experience of the country's broken mountains and rivers, but after coming to the Netherworld, he had a deep understanding.
He had seen what happened to the Hades King who was defeated by him, and he had also seen how miserable the dead people of the ghost kingdom who were almost wiped out by the Northern Yin Dynasty. Isn't the female squire beside him one of them?
It is precisely because he has seen how tragic it is to lose the country that Xiao Shizhu is so desperate. The Nine Shadows Kingdom must not be destroyed, otherwise Xiao Shizhu's fate will only be worse than Ke Yun or Nulu!
Emperor Xudu will not give him a chance to start over.
"It won't be long before the ghost soldiers occupy the capital. Xiao Shizhu was silent for a moment, staring at the bonfire, the dancing flames reflected in his eyes, like anger burning in his eyes.
"Because I'm coming. Xiao Shizhu, who paused, confidently assured Ke Yun: "They will pay the price for the atrocities." ”......
The Netherworld ushered in a dark night when the sun was cloudy and the east was behind. Heavy dark clouds covered the sky, tightly covering the light of the stars and moon in the sky. Dazzling lightning surged deep in the dark clouds, sometimes tearing through the boundless darkness.
Below the sky, gusts of wind and waves swept up in the sea near Shuoyue Island. In the monstrous waves, the wind and rain continue to fall, forming a storm between the sea and the sky.
In the vast sea of the raging tide, 10,000 warships of all kinds are carrying millions of Xudu Army and Xuandi Army sailing through the waves, approaching Shuoyue Island on the whole line.
No matter how strong the wind and waves were, Gong Mingyi did not order to slow down, and still the whole army advanced at full speed, swooping towards Shuoyue Island.
Although the rough waves and strong winds and rain made the weather bad, in Gong Mingyi's opinion, it was also a good opportunity for a night attack. The torrential rain will blur the vision, not only the sight of the Xudu army, but also the Jiuyou National Army.
Gong Mingyi wants to make good use of this weather and become famous.
Gong Mingyi, whose eyes were full of excitement and excitement, was in the command room, and after putting on his armor with the help of his subordinates, the three demon soul generals who accompanied him walked in. As soon as the ghost golden sheep entered the door, he hurriedly replied: "Marshal, the vanguard front battalion army has returned, our army is only more than fifty miles away from Shuoyue Island. ”。
"The operation was carried out according to the original plan, and the Void Sun Rat led the right flank towards the west of Shuoyue Island. Gong Mingyi, who picked up the long sword and hung it on his waist, said calmly: "Kui Mu Wolf led the left flank and surrounded the east of Shuoyue Island. As for the Ghost Golden Sheep, I will give you half of the main fleet to go around to the south of Shuoyue Island and form an iron encirclement. ”。
"The last general commanded. After the three demon spirits answered in unison, they all turned around and headed out of the cabin.
Gong Mingyi, who had hung up his sword, also stepped forward, and rushed out of the command room in the cabin in three or two steps. Gong Mingyi's chest was full of excitement, and he finally had a chance to seek revenge on Xiao Shizhu.
Even if he couldn't kill the other party, he could trap Xiao Shizhu in the Yellow Spring, and then destroy the Nine Shadows Kingdom that Xiao Shizhu had worked so hard to establish.
The further he went, the closer he got to the hatch, the more excited Gong Mingyi, who had a spark of anger in his eyes. He seemed to see the scene where Feng Shui took turns and let Xiao Shizhu destroy the country overnight, and the pleasure in his chest increased instead of decreasing.
Gong Mingyi, who was on the deck, immediately had a cold shower rushing towards him. The coldness of the rain hit his face, allowing him to maintain the last shred of calm and sanity in the excitement.
The crew of the ship has already begun to take off the illuminated centipede beads and the pearl of the night, and for the rest of the voyage, they will move silently in the night.
Gong Mingyi stood at the bow of the boat in the dark, letting the rain wreak havoc on him, and did not take a step back. Looking straight ahead into the darkness, through the wind and rain, the distance that you can't see is the direction of Satsuki Island.
Gong Mingyi is about to take the first step of his true revenge on that small island.
"Ordered the vanguard to quickly pass through the sea stone forest outside the island. After a while, Gong Mingyi sharply ordered the heralds who were following him: "Take the lead in seizing the beachhead and occupy the landing site for the army." Guan Yuecha immediately followed, bombarding all the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who dared to approach the beachhead. ”。
The herald departed.
Although the speed of transmission of the message of the Northern Yin Dynasty was not as fast as that of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, it also transmitted the order of Gong Mingyi, who was in the Chinese army, to the ears of every ghost soldier in the vanguard front battalion within the kung fu of a cup of tea.
The mighty army of forwards is made up of the Clippers. The moment they received the order, they sped up and galloped towards Shuoyue Island.
In the stormy night, thousands of clippers shot out in unison like arrows from the string, cutting through the turbulent waves, all the way south unhindered and ambushed.
On the vast sea, these thousands of clippers are like no one.
Guan Yuecha followed and followed.
It took the Vanguard Army's fast ships a meal to reach the outskirts of Shuoyue Island. The madness in the wind and rain helped them a lot, so that the speed of the warship was increased.
After all, the vanguard army of Shuoyue Island quickly rushed into the sea stone forest in the stormy darkness as originally planned. Along the way, the Xudu army did not encounter resistance, but there was not the slightest nervousness. On the contrary, after entering this stone forest on the sea, when the warship sailed past the towering stone pillars, the thunder and lightning illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the stone pillars cast a huge shadow and shrouded them, a sense of oppression and tension arose spontaneously in the hearts of the Xudu soldiers on the deck.
They clenched their crossbows and firearms in their hands, and looked around warily. Looking through the wind and rain at the place where they passed, after the thunder and lightning disappeared, only the outline of those stone pillars could be seen, and my heart was even more worried.
For some reason, they all have a delusion. It seems that on the peaks composed of various stone pillars, there are countless pairs of eyes in the darkness, watching their every move.
can even imagine in the wind and rain, those eyes that have not been seen are filled with a killing intent as cold as a sword.
Under the cold wind and rain, a layer of cold sweat could ooze out of the palms of the ghost soldiers. Before the war began, their fighting spirit was already being worn down by fear.
The feeling of oppression brought by the tall stone pillars around them made their legs tremble in the wind and rain.
Suddenly, the bow of a clipper ship at the front of the vanguard rang out with a clattering sound of metal. Before the helmsman could react, the clipper had already rushed out in the wind, crashing into the thick iron chain that had been pulled up from the sea between two opposing stone pillars in the sea ahead.
The chain was the thickness of a human soul's thigh, and the chain was like a mace, and the iron was nailed to it, and it was dense like a wolf's tooth.
The clipper pays attention to a fast, whether it is the side or the deck, there is no inlaid iron plate reinforcement. Under the slamming effect, the bow of the ship, which was only a wooden plank, immediately exploded in a loud noise, and sawdust broke off and ejected, and the entire bow of the ship was suddenly torn apart.
The rest of the ship swayed violently from side to side in the midst of the stormy seas.
Before the Dujun on the deck near the bow of the ship could react, they all flew up one after another, and after crossing an arc in the wind and rain, they fell into the water.
