Chapter Seventy-Two: There Is a Way to Heaven and There Is No Way to Advance or Retreat
In the middle of the desolate wilderness, a girl with long black hair and long pigtails, dressed in a purple dress, and holding a piccolo in her hand, walked alone towards a fortress.
The sentries in the fort soon spotted her. The sentry immediately stopped him, but the girl did not mean to stop, and still walked forward.
A feathered arrow flew over, and with a "tuo" sound, it was inserted in front of the girl, who was less than three steps away.
The girl's body shook, and she had to stop, revealing a bitter smile.
This girl is none other than Xia Ruo, a female disciple of the Holy Sound Sect who had defeated the enemy with sound waves in the Dagit Fortress.
She looked at the feathered arrows in front of her, listened to the sentry in the fortress say something she didn't understand, tilted her head, and shook her head slowly into the distance.
In the hollow, Zhao Yan and nearly a hundred Xia Yan cultivators, including Wu Dart, were prostrate on the ground, silently watching Xia Ruo's actions, seeing her shaking her head at his side, Zhao Yan also sighed softly, and said to Wu Dart Master beside him: "Prepare to send a signal and attack." ”
Wu Dart Master took out a firework, lit it with a flint, and a dazzling red flame flew into the air with a "swish", and then with a "bang", a flame flower exploded in mid-air.
Zhao Yan was the first to rush out of the hollow, and on the other side of the fortress, dozens of Xia Yan's cultivators also rushed towards the fortress.
The walls of the fortress rang loudly for a while, and hundreds of defenders of the fortress took up arms and rushed to the top of the wall.
On the tower in the center of the fortress, a Mitarian magician dressed in a black mage robe had a word in his mouth, drawing a magic circle on the table, and as the voice in his mouth became louder and louder, the magic circle also began to glow, and the last white light rose into the sky, turning into a meteor and heading southeast.
Zhao Yan dodged the feathered arrows shot from the city wall, and suddenly saw this white light passing by, and couldn't help frowning, but his feet were even more powerful, and he accelerated towards the fortress.
A feather arrow roared straight towards Xia Ruo, but she seemed to be stunned, standing quietly and not moving. Zhao Yan pounced, and a short crutch in his hand flew out, which was able to block the feather arrow in front of Xia Ruo.
Zhao Yan grabbed Xia Ruo, blocked him, and shouted, "Why are you in a daze on the battlefield?
Xia Ruo was unmoved, she looked at the disciples of the various factions passing by, and then looked at the figures running on the fortress, and asked softly, "Do you have to kill?"
Zhao Yan lowered his head and said, "If you use the sound wave to restrain them, there is no need to kill, I am afraid it is inevitable now." It's dangerous here, follow me. ”
Xia Ruo shook his head and said, "I don't want to see that kind of scene, just let me give them a ride here." As she spoke, she raised her piccolo and played a low, weeping melody.
Zhao Yan sighed, seeing that Qunhao had already killed the city wall, Mitarion's soldiers couldn't stop many people who had cultivated to be strong, and they couldn't care about releasing arrows, so he said to Xia Ruo: "Pay attention to safety, I'll let them hurt as little as possible." With that, he headed for the fortress.
Xia Ruo looked down at the black soil under his feet, listening to the wails from the fortress, a drop of clear tears gently slid down, turning into bursts of flute sounds, soothing the frightened earth.
As the night gradually covered the land again, Xu Xun and Wu Renjia quietly slipped down from the walls of Mitte City, and when the guards guarding the gate turned around, the two of them dodged into the nearby Minas Forest and disappeared into the darkness.
Half an hour later, next to a tall tree, the two of them met with Aoki Lin and the others.
At this time, Peng Mu had also recovered a lot, except that the wound on his back was too deep and he couldn't move at will, there was basically no major problem.
It was the fifth day after they had set out from the small city to the south, and when they arrived in the city of Umet, they were approached by Mitarion's army, so they took refuge in the nearby Minas Forest, while Xu Xun and Wu Renjia rode the night to find out what was going on.
Aoki Lin looked at the two of them with solemn expressions, knowing that something was wrong, and asked, "Second brother, Senior Brother Wu Ren, what news did you find?"
Wu Renjia shook his head and patted Qingmu Lin, but he was silent, Xu Xun said, "Senior Brother Honghuazi, they have already been killed. ”
"What!" Several other disciples of various factions next to him were all surprised, and one of them, Jia Zhenzi, a disciple of Daoyuan Palace, rushed forward, grabbed Xu Xun and said, "How could Senior Brother Honghuazi be killed!?
Aoki Lin next to him pulled his hand away and said, "Jia Zhenzi Daoyou, calm down, my second brother will tell you the reason." ”
Jia Zhenzi slapped Aoki Lin's hand away and said, "Shut up, you don't want to talk nonsense! Senior Brother Honghuazi's cultivation is high, and he is the best among the three generations of disciples in our Daoyuan Palace, even if it is not much better than the second generation of disciples, how can it be ......?"
Xu Xun said: "Jia Zhenzi Daoyou, we are just as sad as you when Senior Brother Honghuazi was killed. We did not hear from him, but we saw his body on the gates of the city of Mitte, and dozens of other colleagues who were killed with him. Mitarion is also truly hateful, they are dead, and yet their bodies are still hanging on the city walls for public display. ”
As soon as Xu Xun's words came out, the disciples of all factions became furious, calling Mitarion too much of a deception, and they were about to kill Mitte City immediately.
Jia Zhenzi was on the spot, silent.
Xu Xun walked over and said softly: "Jia Zhenzi Daoyou......"
Before he finished speaking, Jia Zhenzi suddenly shouted: "Go away! Honghuazi is in trouble, how is it possible? Honghuazi is in distress, how is it possible?"
He repeated this sentence, Xu Xun and Aoki Lin glanced at each other, Aoki Lin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Jia Zhenzi Daoyou, you calm down, my second brother ......"
Jia Zhenzi slapped Qingmulin's hand away and said, "Senior Brother Honghuazi teaches art on behalf of the teacher, and he is the same master and apprentice as me, but now you say that he is in trouble, how can I calm down?"
Xu Xun, Aoki Lin and Wu Renjia finally pulled him back, Xu Xun said: "We also feel the mood of all fellow Daoists, but this is obviously the agitation method used by Mitarion, the purpose is to let us go and take the corpse, and then kill us all." ”
Jia Zhenzi said indignantly: "So what, the cultivators of my generation, are you still afraid of Mitarion?"
Xu Xun was about to answer, but Aoki Lin grabbed him and said: "Jia Zhenzi Daoyou is right, we should immediately attack Yumit City, not only to take back the remains of all the brothers and sisters, but also to kill the tens of thousands of Mitarion troops in Mitte City, in order to comfort the spirits of all the brothers in the sky, out of our hearts of resentment!" ”
After he said this, he looked at the stunned people around him, and Jia Zhenzi stayed for a long time before he held back a sentence and said, "No...... Impossible. ”
Aoki Lin smiled and said: "I don't think it's possible, but since you said that you want to kill you, we naturally want to cheer you up, and as soon as you go, our whereabouts will be exposed, and the other party's tens of thousands of troops, we will definitely not be able to escape, so it is better to go to the death with you." ”
When Jia Zhenzi heard this, her face was blue and red for a while, and she finally didn't speak again.
Aoki Lin said: "Mitarion's army is here in Mitte City, which shows that our plan to lure the enemy has been successful, and now the people can be said to be safe, and Senior Brother Honghuazi and other sacrificed senior brothers will definitely arrive in the sky." ”
He saw that the people were relieved, and then said, "Now what we have to do is to preserve ourselves, bypass the army of Mitarion, and join the ranks of the people. But for now, we can wait. ”
A person next to him wondered, "What are you waiting for?"
Aoki Lin said: "Let's see when the Mitarion army leaves this Urmit City, as long as they leave, we have a chance to recapture the bodies of our brothers and sisters." ”
Xu Xun said: "How long are we going to wait? We can't wait forever, right?"
Aoki Lin said: "Of course we can't wait too long, two days, if they don't leave for two days, we will give up, bypass here, and go to meet the people." ”
Jia Zhenzi hurriedly said: "Two days is too little, you should wait a few more days." ”
Aoki Lin looked at Jia Zhenzi and said, "Jia Zhenzi Daoist wants to come and be like my seventh brother, and he has cultivated the Wind Resisting Technique. ”
Jia Zhenzi said: "This will not be. ”
Aoki Lin said: "Then I think Jia Zhenzi Daoyou is still walking well with us, firstly, we don't have much food, even if we set off now, we may not be able to hold out to the Akamala Desert, and secondly, it will take time to catch up with the people, if Xia Yan's reinforcements have already picked up the people, we dozens of people will really be trapped in this Beichanaburi Prefecture, and we will die in a foreign land." ”
Jia Zhenzi looked at Aoki Lin with some hatred, and said very unwillingly: "Then wait for two days." ”
Qing Mulin didn't care about him anymore, and took Xu Xun, Wu Renjia, Fu Ke and others to discuss countermeasures.
I don't know how long I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes slightly, I only felt that my eyes were bright and bright, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to quickly close the morning light again.
In a trance, he heard a woman's voice say, "He's awake!" and then there was a cacophony of voices as if someone had come to him.
Then, Guo Xinzhu said in an anxious and trembling voice: "Morning light, morning light, are you awake?"
Chenguang wanted to answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he only felt a burning pain in his throat, and he could only make a hoarse sound.
Guo Xinzhu hurriedly said: "Water, quickly get water, give him water!"
Then there was another cacophony, and then a deep man's voice said, "The water is here, give him a drink." ”
Guo Xinzhu helped Chenguang up a little, and then put the water to Chenguang's mouth.
The hot throat touched the sweet water, it was really like a long drought and a rain, but after a stinging pain, it was extremely comfortable.
Chenguang only cared about drinking water, but accidentally choked, water spurted out of his mouth and nose, and although he coughed violently, his throat was still "empty, empty" and couldn't make much sound.
Guo Xinzhu hurriedly put down the water bowl, patted him on the back, and wiped the water off his face with a towel.
Chenguang tried to open his eyes again, but as soon as his eyelids narrowed, another dazzling white light hit, and Chenguang had to close his eyes again.
Guo Xinzhu said: "You can't open your eyes now, Skulla's poison has injured your meridians, and because you can't be treated in time, you can't see, speak, or move now." But don't worry, the poison has been cured, it just takes a while to recover. ”
As she spoke, she put down the morning light again, and said: "We have now returned to the Shenzhou Continent, this is Xia Yan's land, we landed seven days ago, and we were rescued by the fishermen of this fishing village, and I was too weak to fly at that time, and we all fell into the sea." As she spoke, she smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
Then she immediately said: "Oh, by the way, next to me is General Jing Peng of Xia Yan, he is the deputy general of Xia Yan's Tiger Camp, the Tiger Camp is one of the four elites of the Xia Yan Dynasty, equipped with Tianzhou, and now General Xuanyuan Zheng, the commander of the Tiger Camp, is reporting to the imperial court, preparing to lead the Tianzhou fleet to Mittalion to rescue the people, our efforts are not in vain, right." ”
When Chenguang heard this, he was a little excited and wanted to do something, but his body didn't listen to him and tried his best, but it only made his body tremble.
Seeing this, Deputy General Jing Peng next to him said: "Chenguang Shaoxia, you can rest assured that the general has been worried about you, I will go back to the general first, let him rest assured, I believe he will come to see you soon." ”
After Jing Peng went out, Guo Xinzhu said to Chenguang: "You just woke up, and you are still very weak, I will go and cook some porridge for you first, and you can rest well." ”
She stood up, turned around and was about to go out, but just as she was about to go out, she suddenly remembered something, turned back to Chenguang and said, "General Xuanyuan Zheng seems to be very interested in a piece of jade pendant on your body, and took it away, saying that he will return it to you in person when you wake up." ”
