In the west of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Mozhou falls at night.

The city guards staggered and slowly walked on the broken city walls.

As the sun set as it was about to set, his gloomy gaze turned away from the retreating army outside the city and back to the soldiers who had suffered equally heavy casualties.

Stepping on a pool of blood, he slid under his feet, and the warrior behind him reached out to support him, and only then did he stagger and stand firm.

"What day is it?"

Qiang Tan slowly exhaled a turbid breath and reached out to hold the mottled city wall.

"Lord Castle Keeper, it's probably the fourteenth day, or the fifteenth day, I can't remember it clearly."

"It's been half a month."

Qiang Tan sighed again, "Mr. Liao, what kind of demon method do you think can make those people of the West Pole tribe become like this, it is simply a complete loss of all sanity.

Not only are they chaotic and mad and not afraid of death, but they even feed on their own kind, and they dare to eat their stomachs alive on the battlefield, but I have never seen such a terrible sight. ”

The martial artist fell into thought, "In the eyes of the old man, their situation is somewhat similar to the martial artist who was made crazy by Xuangan.

Just looking at the level of strength they showed, although even ordinary people are infinitely powerful, and they are not even afraid of pain, but except for a small number of leaders and sacrifices, there is still a considerable gap between others and the Xuangan realm, and the old man is a little unclear about what is going on. ”

At this point, he suddenly fell silent.

After waiting for a long time, he continued with some uncertainty, "Those tribal warriors seem to be shouting the word giant spirit before each attack, and the old man has been thinking about it for a long time in the past few days, but he has not been able to find information related to the giant spirit. ”

"Djinn, is it the god totem they worship, just like the Northern Wilderness Brahma?"

Qiang Tan pondered for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly shook his head, "No, no, the old man has been here for many years, not to mention that he knows everything about the tribes living in the depths of the Western Extreme Mountains, and basically has a rough grasp of their situation.

But I have never heard of a large tribe worshipping djinn spirits and can cause such a large-scale terrifying mutation.

So, what is the djinn, and why did the middle tribe of the West Pole Mountain, which has always been in its duty since Emperor Wu of this dynasty, become what it is now? ”

Qiang Tan let out a low sigh, "Now that the government soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and the warriors of various family gangs in the city have also suffered heavy casualties, if this continues, I am afraid that there will be a big mess if the city is broken." ”

Mr. Liao lowered his eyes, and a slight wry smile appeared on his face.

The old man was not worried about this, because the city was surrounded by those madmen tonight, and they had nowhere to flee if they wanted to.

What's more, even if you surrender, it is a dead end, and you will still be skinned and deboned and eaten clean, in this case, even if there are heavy casualties, everyone should still have to fight hard, and there is no second way to go. ”

Qiang Tan watched the afterglow of the setting sun fade away, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"You're right, you can't escape, you can't fall, you can only resist desperately.

I think that if it really comes to the time when the city is broken, both men and women, young and old, must pick up the guys and fight for their lives, after all, it is better to be killed and then become food than to be captured alive and watch the madmen cut the flesh from their bodies and eat it. ”

When Mr. Liao heard this, Wen Yan was relieved, "The city guards don't need to be too anxious, I think they have become crazy, they seem to have become stupid, and there is no move to build large-scale siege equipment these days."

Otherwise, we would not have been able to hold out for such a long time, and perhaps the city would have fallen long ago, and it would have become a bloody prison of wanton slaughter, and there would be no one left alive.

So as long as we can hold out for a while, we may be able to wait for the support of the imperial court. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden click.

Immediately attracted the eyes of the two.

Not far away, a man in leather armor and covered in blood sat against a wall.

He eats attentively and devotedly.

Before I knew it, someone was approaching.

Qiang Tan held the hilt of the knife.

Mr. Liao urged qi and blood, agitated real energy, and his body quietly expanded and became larger.

The two of them set their eyes on the man, and a faint haze appeared between their eyebrows at the same time.

This kind of madness can still be contagious!?

If it was only a foreign enemy attacking the city, they would still be able to resist for a longer time if they were united.

But if there is also a change in the city, I am afraid that a catastrophe will happen in an instant.

Qiang Tan and Mr. Liao glanced at each other, and were about to take someone down.

A move by the armored soldier made them stop abruptly.

He took two bites, and then laid half of his arm to the fire beside him to roast it, while smearing it with melted coarse salt.

Seeing this scene, Qiang Tan exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and the tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed a lot.

Also know about barbecue.

It can also apply seasoning delicately.

It means that this person is not a big problem, or there is no problem.

"Is this meat delicious?"

Qiang Tan walked over and asked in a low voice.

The man didn't even raise his head, and said indistinctly, "It's not delicious, it's not as good as pigs and sheep." ”

After a pause, he burst out laughing.

It's just that his voice is low and sad, like a whimpering ghost crying, "My brother was pulled down the city wall by those monsters to share the food, so Lao Tzu also had to eat them, so he could be regarded as truly avenging his blood revenge." ”

"Eating meat alone may not be very palatable, do you like to drink alcohol on weekdays?"

Taking the wine bag handed by Qiang Tan, the big man poured a few sips.

Only then did he struggle to get up and kowtow respectfully, "The villain thanked the adult for the wine." ”

Qiang Tan's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word, just patted the big man on the shoulder, and turned to go down the city wall.

The night breeze blows slowly.

Bring a hoarse shout from a distance.

"It doesn't matter whether you practice martial arts or not, it doesn't matter if you haven't worn armor before, it's a man who picks up the knife for Lao Tzu, follows me on the city wall, and stabs him to death as long as an enemy climbs up, it's such a simple thing!"

"Don't tell me that you're afraid of death, I'll tell you the truth, it's useless to be afraid of death, you may die if you don't get on, you will definitely die if you don't do it, and you will be eaten alive by those crazy people, it's better to rush up and change to another one!"

"You remember to Lao Tzu, there are man-eating monsters on the other side, they are not people at all, and the only way to deal with them is to pick up a knife and gun, hack and kill a monster is enough, and kill two to earn one!"

Qiang Tan closed his eyes, and sighed after a long time, "How many armor soldiers are left after the military town outside the city?" ”

Mr. Liao replied, "If you go back to your lordship, except for the dead and seriously injured, there are less than two percent left who can still go into battle." ”

"That's ......"

Qiang Tan took a deep breath and subconsciously touched the wine bag on his waist, but he felt empty.

He was silent for a long time, "It's better to take out a part of the experienced military town armor soldiers to be the captains of these newcomers, and the remaining veterans and martial artists above the blood coagulation level will be formed into two teams as reserve forces, and where there is a crisis, they will go to the top." ”

After walking for a while, Qiang Tan stopped in the middle of the deserted street, listening intently to the tremors and roars coming from outside the city.

"Djinn, Djinn!"

In the darkening night, it sounds terrifying.

Mr. Liao's face changed, "Lord City Guard, those monsters are going to climb and attack the city again, and the old man must return to the city wall to keep an eye on." ”

Qiang Tan nodded, untied the saber and handed it to him, "Go, Mr. is the strongest person in the city, remember to protect yourself, if you can, don't die." ”

Mr. Liao walked away quickly, and disappeared from sight in a few flashes.

Qiang Tan looked up at the night sky, and faintly saw a touch of blood, which appeared again from the end of the western sky.

And compared to the previous day, it seems to have become a little more intense.

Just looking at it from a distance makes people's hearts extremely depressed.

"There are so many big trees in the West Pole Mountain, but they don't build siege trucks, don't use door-breaking hammers, just build a ladder and climb up one by one, is it really as Mr. Liao said, these guys have become crazy and stupid at the same time?"

"But then again, even if a bunch of fools keep rushing up and slashing and killing them, they are already about to send all the people in the city who can be used, if it really happens at that time......"

He muttered to himself, half-silent.

A blue rainbow was reflected in his eyes, and he appeared in the dark night sky without warning.

Qiang Tan rubbed his eyes, and a surprised and puzzled expression appeared on his face.

In the center of his pupils, a rising cyan lotus flower was reflected.

The blood at the end of the sky suddenly began to surge violently under the reflection of the blue light, and it seemed to become even more crazy.

Suddenly, a night breeze blew.

Brings a quiet and elegant fragrance.

There was also the sound of rushing water, which came to my ears at this moment.

Qiang's heart shook and he turned around suddenly.

A few steps away, a young man and a woman appeared.

The two seemed to have been standing there for a long time, but he didn't notice them until this moment.

"Senior Sister Mi, he is the lord of this city."

The young man was dressed in a green shirt, and although it was already late autumn weather, he still held a folding fan in his hand, and he would gently shake it up and twice from time to time, showing a relaxed attitude.

"Is it that he organized the defense and blocked the attack of those djinn blood slaves?"

The woman frowned slightly, "It doesn't look unusual, it's just an ordinary person, but it wasted my curiosity, and I went into the city to take a look." ”

The man smiled slightly, "I told Senior Sister Mi early in the morning that those blood slaves have no senses, they are just idiots who can only obey orders, but are unable to think for themselves.

As long as they deal with it properly, and with the tall walls, it is not difficult to hold them back for a while. ”

"What Senior Brother Lu said is extremely true."

Senior Sister Mi sighed, "It's just that I don't understand it, our Biluotian is now fighting with the giant spirit, dealing with the continuous erosion of the sea of blood, why do we still want to introduce it into this world, isn't it strengthening the enemy's strength even more?" ”

"His Royal Highness Biluo is going down is a plan to lead the water to the east."

Senior Brother Lu said slowly, "This place is also the same as Biluotian, it is also one of the fragments of the True Realm, it has always been called the Lost Land, and it is directly related to many ancient evil spirits, and it is not comparable to other ordinary Heaven and Earth Realms.

Therefore, His Highness introduced the sea of blood here in order to make it easier for the two sides to fight each other, so that they could more easily deal with the threat posed by the djinn, and even reap the benefits of the fisherman on this basis.

It's just that the erosion of the power of the blood sea is not going well, so we will receive an order to help the blood sea expand its occupation range and increase the number of blood slaves, so that it can become more tentacles and penetrate more deeply. ”

Senior Sister Mi nodded, her expression thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked again, "Last time I heard Miss Qing Ming mention Taixu, what does this mean?" ”

"Originally, there were nine heavens in the real realm, and the fugue was too empty, but as for what it means, I don't really know."

Senior Brother Lu exhaled lightly, "In addition, I also didn't expect that in this lost land, there was actually an entrance to the void.

Perhaps those ancient evils were in the void, hiding themselves with the help of the void of extinction. ”

The two of them spoke slowly, their tones relaxed and casual, and they didn't seem to care about being overheard by the Nightfall City Lord.

Qiang Tan did listen, but he was confused, and he didn't know what the two were talking about.

All he knew was that they were very powerful, not ordinary.

Even Mr. Liao, who is a martial arts master, may not be the opponent of the two.

What frightened him even more was that they actually had a teacher.

Whether it was His Royal Highness Biluo, or Miss Qingming, as well as the Blood Sea Giant Spirit, the ancient ferocity was completely beyond his comprehension.

Senior Brother Lu looked up at the sky, his gaze fell on the surging dark red clouds, "Let's go, let's hurry up and complete the task, every time I stay here, I will be driven crazy by the smell of the sea of blood." ”

Senior Sister Mi smiled faintly, "It's also interesting, we and the Sea of Blood are enemies, but now we are helping it develop territory."

Also, since it is to lead the sea of blood into this world, why did the above choose such a remote and barren place, so that we all have to suffer from the wind and food and sleeping in the open. ”

"It's because it's remote, that's why I chose this place."

Senior Brother Lu lowered his eyes, "Senior Sister Mi should know how many elites Biluotian has lost here, including many great cultivators of the Earth Immortal Realm, but you don't know that they all died at the hands of a madman."

What's more, that madman is the warrior of this world, and it is very likely that he will live in seclusion in the prosperous interior of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, I think my own life is more important than a little inconvenient. ”

"I see, Senior Brother Lu said this, I am a little interested, I don't know if that madman will come here, so that I can see what kind of character it is."

"Are you crazy!?"

"Do you want to be eaten by him too!?"

Senior Brother Lu's face changed, and when he spoke again, his voice was extremely low, "In addition to the Earth Immortal Elder who has already been determined, I heard that Lord Naluo also died in this mouth, and he was eaten clean from head to toe, and he didn't even spit out a single bone!" ”

"Eat, eat!?"

Senior Sister Mi's throat surged unconsciously, "According to Senior Brother, isn't this person the same as those blood slaves......"

"Don't say it, in front of that person, the blood slave is not even a fart."

Senior Brother Lu glanced at him coldly, "I don't like the crow's mouth of my companion the most, Senior Sister Mi, you must pay attention to your words and deeds." ”

The woman nodded, stretched out her hand and pointed not far away, "What about this person?" ”

"He heard too many of our secrets, so he had to send him to die, we hurry up to complete the mission here, and we have to find out the ...... related to Taixu"

Senior Brother Lu was halfway through his words and suddenly kept silent.

He frowned and looked around.

Dig deep and find out.

It's as if you've noticed something wrong, but you're not sure what it's wrong.

Suddenly, the night breeze brought a little coolness.

Senior Brother Lu's body suddenly tensed, staring at Senior Sister Mi's back.

She was walking towards Nightfall Castle Guard, still thinking about a fun way to end his life with her own hands.

At that moment, she stopped without warning.

The expression on his face was puzzled and dazed, and there was a little uncontrollable surprise and fear.

"Senior Brother Lu, I have some pain in my neck."

Senior Sister Mi opened her mouth to speak, her voice was no longer cold and crisp before, and there was a hint of hoarse trilling inexplicably.

She turned her head a little and looked behind her.

"Senior sister, your ......"

Senior Brother Lu's pupils constricted and he muttered to himself.

A thin red thread appeared on her neck.

Then it quickly spreads out to the sides.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with me?"

She opened her mouth, wanting to raise her hand to touch.

The fingertips came to the top of the neck, but they touched the air inexplicably.

Her head was gone.

Disappeared without warning.

Even Senior Brother Lu, who had been staring at him, couldn't really react to why such a big head disappeared directly under his nose.

It's like magic.

It came so strangely and suddenly.

Swish......

Silently, another breeze blew.

Bring the bright breath of spring to all things, plants and trees.

There was also a gentle and indifferent woman's voice, which came at the same time.

"Since I went to that place, Senior Sister Sun's invisibility has gone to the next level, which is really gratifying."

"Senior Sister Ni Yan is the same, on the basis of Dongfang Jiayimu, she also cultivates the power of nothingness and extinction, which responds to the true meaning of the way of yin and yang."

Senior Brother Lu's heartstrings instantly tightened to the limit, and he instinctively wanted to use the exercises to escape from here.

But he couldn't even move.

Because there were three breaths that surrounded him.

There was no room for him to escape at all.

"According to this Biluo Heaven Cultivator, the place we explored last time may be the entrance of the Taivoid, or perhaps the power of the Void of Destruction of the Martial Emperor and his old man is from there."

A figure in a white dress and a white skirt quietly appeared in the middle of the long street from nothing.

At this moment, the fanatical djinn roar vanished.

The illusory blue lotus, which was full of evil, also disappeared into the midnight sky.

Even the noisy voices of people in the city, the clashing of armor and blades between running, all disappeared at the same time.

Only the delicate figure in the white dress remained, occupying almost all of his consciousness and perception.

Sun Xiyue turned her head and glanced at it, "Senior Sister Yunhong, how long will it take you to control his mind?" ”

"We'll have to wait a while, but it will be easier if Senior Sister beats him half to death."

There was a muffled bang.

Senior Brother Lu spat blood from his mouth, and fell to the ground convulsively.

Completely lost the ability to resist.

"You ......"

Qiang Tan suddenly came back to his senses, looked at the three women in front of him who seemed to be immortals, and for a while he seemed to be in a fog.

"My surname is Sun, my double name is Xiyue, and I am a disciple of the Xuanwu Dao of the Great Zhou Sect."

She said slowly, "The castle guard can now relax and tell me what has happened lately. ”

………………

……………………

Deep in the dense forest, a faint streamer is fleeting.

Lost in the middle of a towering tree.

Drilled into one of the tree holes with pinpoint accuracy.

The jungle was quiet throughout.

It's as if this streamer never came.

It can't attract the attention of any living being.

Little by little, time passed.

Before you know it, the night fades and the day arrives as scheduled.

A glimmer of light breaks through the clouds and dispells the darkness.

Click......

Suddenly, a soft sound broke the silence of the forest.

A scythe-like arthropod poked out of the hollow, followed by a second.

Wei Tao slowly pulled out his body and stood cautiously among the branches and leaves.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the distracted body, his expression a little speechless.

Even if he has always cared about his body appearance, Wei Tao couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

What the hell is this?

It feels like a mix of people and insects.

Or, to put it more accurately, he should be a praying mantis man now, or he could call it a grasshopper man.

Whether it's wings that can be spread out on the back, or the extra sharp arthropods, the characteristics of insects are revealed.

It's a cross through and through.

Wei Tao was silent for a long time, sighed secretly, and then began to absorb the fragmented memories.

As soon as he thought of this, he was suddenly a little surprised.

It's just an insect, and it still has such a rich memory?

He even bears the name of the director.

I also have a group of subordinates under my command to drive.

"It's funny, this time it's a bug, and it's a bug monster with a human body."

"It reminds me of Ximu and Green Mantis, but I don't know if they have any connection with this world."

Wei Tao continued to absorb the fragments of his memory, and soon figured out what his identity was.

The body occupied by the distraction turned out to be a worm that farmed the land.

And he's a manor owner.

Lead a group of things called sandflies and breed a plant called Ethereal Flower in a clearing in the forest.

In addition, most of the memory fragments have been shattered and blurred, and it is difficult to obtain more useful information from them.

Wei Tao stood silently in the canopy of the tree, until the humming sound sounded, which interrupted his thoughts.

An old man with a human face, a hunched body, and two pairs of wings flew up to the tree, and saluted respectfully a few paces away.

"Chief steward, the picking of ethereal flowers this autumn has ended, with a total of one hundred and twenty-eight catties, but because of the impact of the summer thunderstorm, coupled with the attack of the poison armor last month, this year's output is thirty percent lower than last year."

When he said this, his tone couldn't help but be lowered, "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the steward, according to the practice of previous years, the envoy of the Spirit Butterfly clan will be coming soon, and we must start preparing for the arrival of the envoy." ”

Wei Tao searched for relevant information in the memory fragments, and asked directly, "The envoy of the Spirit Butterfly Clan, what are you going to do here?" ”

The sandfly raised its head, and a surprised expression appeared on the old man's face, "Have you forgotten that the envoy came here to collect the ethereal petals, which is also our main job here." ”

"Oh, I hit my head last night and forgot a lot of things."

Wei Tao casually fooled over, "Let's go, take me to see those ethereal flowers, you happened to tell me on the way, what the so-called Spirit Butterfly Clan is." ”

The sandfly was stunned again when she heard this, and seemed to be a little unable to believe her ears, let alone believe that these disrespectful words came from the mouth of the chief steward.

But he still suppressed the surprise in his heart and continued to speak honestly.

After walking through the forest for a while, Wei Tao finally became familiar with this body, got rid of his crooked posture, and could perfectly control his flight trajectory.

Another moment passed.

He landed in a glade.

There was already a swarm of sandflies waiting there.

Farther afield, there are large ethereal flower beds.

There are also some slender sandflies, which are flying around in the middle of the busy.

The old sandfly quickly took a bag of collected ethereal flowers and handed it to Wei Tao.

"Steward, these are freshly picked petals, please take a look at them......"

The old sandfly was halfway through his words, and his voice stopped abruptly.

With a frightened expression on his face, he watched Wei Tao directly stuff the entire package into his mouth, chew it a few times and swallow it directly.

"These are ethereal petals?"

Wei Tao closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a white breath, "It tastes good, and it's nutritious, it's indeed a good thing." ”

"Great, big steward."

The old sandfly turned pale and spoke incoherently, "This is a tribute to the noble people of the Spirit Butterfly, you, why did you just open your mouth and eat it?" ”

"If the spirit butterfly envoy blames it, I'm afraid we will all face annihilation."

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "More than a hundred catties of harvest, I am in charge of this room, what's the big deal if I eat a few bites, this is normal fire consumption, do you understand?" ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, coming from the waiting team of sandflies.

"We are all servants of the Spirit Butterfly, so naturally we can't do such disobedient and deceitful acts, and when the Spirit Butterfly envoy arrives, I will definitely report this matter truthfully and see how the envoy will deal with it."

The old sandfly turned its head to look at a young fellow of the same kind, and its expression suddenly became more and more anxious.

Click!!

There was a sudden crisp sound.

The young sandfly was still talking, his face turning pale.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at the extra blade on his chest, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Steward, you, you want to take my life."

Click!

The blade-like arthrop pulled out, then stabbed in again.

Wei Tao opened his mouth wide and bit down.

"Bugs eat bugs, which is also the proper meaning."

"Any of you who dare to talk nonsense, whether the so-called spirit butterfly comes or not, it will become a snack in my belly."
