After Zhu Yu patted the horse away, he flew out of the city following the clues, "Qiu, can you hear it now?" ”

"Yes. Zhu Yu, it's really not that I was negligent, I really didn't notice it at all......"

"Let's not talk about that, that thing underground, can you arch it out?"

"No, those things are like nothingness, I tried it just now, and Yao Li will pass through them every time, just like the perception of this city, so I didn't notice it."

Zhu Yu thought about it, took out a handful of white "gravel" from the cloth bag, sprinkled it on the ground, and as soon as it touched the ground, Qiu suddenly screamed, "Zhu Yu, don't you, you use this thing to take revenge on me?" ”

"Shut up, it's nothing to do with you, bear with me."

Those white stones, after they hit the ground, immediately turned into living creatures like dung insects, and began to dig into the soil in a daze, and disappeared after a while.

After a while, a rumbling voice came from underground, "San, don't you feel anything at all?" Zhu Yu asked.

"It's a little bit of an indescribable feeling, like the Terran wind chill and fever. In the past, it never snowed here in Jiangguo, but since a few years ago, I have started to be a little tired? I thought it was the season, so I didn't pay attention to it. ”

Zhu Yu said with a smile, "It's a good idea to take advantage of the time and place to hide from the sky?" Have you asked my aunt and grandmother about me? ”

As the shaking began to grow stronger, from under the ground, thick black plant rhizomes emerged, and a faint red light flowed inside.

Zhu Yu reached out and grabbed one, trying to follow the root system and let the consciousness find the source.

But at the moment of entering, the whole body buzzed with a tremor, the heaven and the earth were boundless, the cold wind blew her demon soul, countless red eyes, full of vision, she tried to raise her hand to block, wanted to open her eyes to find, but still couldn't see clearly, just vaguely sensed that around the sea, I don't know where it was, there was a strong energy overflowing and diffuse, and finally it was really blowing in the wind, and I had to be forced to retreat, panting for breath.

"San, eat this, and then I'll leave the rest to you." Zhu Yu casually threw a golden-red cane, and green vines immediately drilled out of the ground, wrapped up, and quickly sank into the ground.

"Vermilion, where did you find it?" Sang's "face" was incredulous.

"Then you don't care. From now on, you cooperate with the hill, but as long as there is this kind of black rhizome around, it will be called a dirt vine for the time being, and all of it will be cleaned up. You follow the Jiangxi Mountain to the direction of Shiguo, and feel whether there are these things! ”

"This ......"

"How?"

"Zhu, Zhuyu, east of Jiangxi Mountain, in my 'field of vision', all of them are black. Even some places in Jiangxi Mountain have been polluted. ”

"Hmph, I played a big game of chess. After cleaning up here, you and Qiu will also clean up Jiangxi Mountain in a while, don't make too much movement, so as not to hurt Shanzhen. You two, also check for yourself, see if you have any other problems, don't be like them. As he spoke, a light flashed in Zhu Yu's eyes, and those black rhizomes all disappeared in ashes.

only saw Zhu Yu's war horse come back, Liang Zongli and them, without too much surprise and worry, camped on the spot, lit a fire and cooked. The four children also helped Master An and them to be busy.

Zhu Yu returned to the camp and gathered twelve people, plus an "adjutant" Cong Qihu. didn't hide it at all, and told Liang Zongli about what he saw just now, what he did, and what happened besides finding the source. In the past, Zhu Yu never explained this.

"If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, the next battle may be even more unexpected than what you encountered today. I don't want you to die in vain. ”

"Zhu Yu, what are these things, and those weirdos in black armor before?"

"It's a long story, and I won't be able to tell you for a while. I will make a long story short, you have also discovered that these are dead things, let them come to life, that is, the black gas you see, called dirt, where it comes from and where it goes, you don't need to know, just remember that no matter how human or beast, as long as it is contaminated a little, it will immediately be burned into charcoal, and a small number of those who can survive, that is, the human race or demon race with potential different from ordinary people, will become corpse puppets. In the city, I can only say that I can only resist you for a while, and if you encounter these corpse puppets again, if you can't kill them within two quarters of an hour, you will either run or wait for death. ”

The crowd touched the red and blue stone hanging around their necks.

"So, you summoned us and gave you help?"

Zhu Yu didn't answer, but said, "Remember I asked you what kind of short soldiers you like?" Go to the craftsmen and ask them to build one for each of you, and recast it with feathers and swords. Be prepared, the battle will be even more fierce in the future. Zhu Yu thought about it, but still said: "If you want to quit now, say it quickly, and don't force you." ”

Thirteen people, their eyes resolute, without a trace of hesitation. Zhu Yu nodded, then didn't say anything, turned around and waved his hand, and everyone retreated, no one noticed, Zhu Yu clenched his fist fiercely, knocked on his chest, and his eyes were full of tears.

Historically, the Zhuang country, which is adjacent to its southwest and separated by the green pearl inland sea, was once the jurisdiction of the ancient Jiang country, and later because of the changes in the mountains and rivers, it was divided and ruled.

After Cheng Ping was stable and Li Min was happy, the emperor of Jiang did not have any difficulty for the "child emperor" who bowed down to the two countries and took the initiative to pay tribute, so they let them be peaceful. But he never thought that eight hundred years later, he would dare to "rebel against Tianwei".

Compared with the vast territory of Jiang State, the number of big cities in the high country, not more than the number of hands, most of them are counties and towns, in addition to the east bank of the Green River, some mountains and mineral deposits, most of the terrain is flat, the river is vertical and horizontal, famous for japonica rice, so it provides an innate geographical advantage for the cavalry of the Butterfly Army.

Liang Zongli alone, in the past two days, whether it is in the city, or the village where Ah Yun and his father and mother lived, and other nearby villages, they have carefully searched for it.

Since the battle the day before yesterday, Zhu Yu cleaned up the dirt vines underground, leaving only some traces of ruin in the whole city, and all the people and things that passed away dissipated between heaven and earth, as if telling the world that this place had also experienced prosperity, but in the end, it could not escape the ravages of the troubled times.

Liang Zongli squatted on the ground of a certain house, holding ashes in his hands, not to mention that this place had not been destroyed, even if it was still as crowded as before, it was difficult to find the trace of Ah Yun, and the other villages were better, they were not destroyed like this, and there were many rice in the fields that rotted in the ground before they could be harvested, and there were ruins everywhere, and the houses had long been empty.

Late at night, when she returned to the camp tent, looking at the four children sleeping on the military bed and running around with her, Liang Zongli couldn't help but sigh, Ah Yun, where are you, are you okay now?

After a short period of repair, the pale vermilion fish, released the letter bird, continued to take the butterfly army, and marched towards Linjiang City, according to Liang Zongli's previous assumption, they would only pass by for a short time and not love to fight, and then pass through Yangyi City and many villages and towns non-stop, and go straight to Hanshui City, the capital city in the middle of the high country.

Gao Guo didn't know whether to abandon the north or move everyone to the south, many of the villages and towns passed by the Butterfly Army, even if they were intact, they had lost the smoke and popularity of the past, and the furnishings in the house were relatively messy, but fortunately, they could be supplied on the spot.

After a few days of marching like this, the people were no longer surprised by the miserable and desolate scenes. Late that night, there were no clouds and no moon. The army walked silently in the fields of Qianmo, and vaguely saw the outline of the town in front of it, and suddenly a firelight rose into the sky, exploding strange red fireworks, and then a prosperous town, as if neatly lit up the "lights", reflected in the eyes of more than 2,000 people.

Zhu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at it and said, "You stay where you are, prepare for battle, and I'll go and lure the snake out of the hole." "Twelve people, immediately each heralded the team, lit a bonfire around it and lined up in formation.

Not long after, there was a sudden screaming sound in the town, causing everyone to cover their ears. Then I realized that the lights of the town were lit up just now, and they were completely on!

I saw a giant bird, trampling on the house, from the town, slowly standing up a black figure, four wings spread, even in the distance, you can see the scarlet eyes.

In the firelight, a small figure could be faintly seen, standing motionless in front of the burning town.

A few more screams, the giant bird flapped its wings, and slowly flew towards this side, getting closer and closer, it was actually more than twenty zhang long, and there was a corpse puppet standing on it.

Clung to the top of the butterfly army's head, it flew away, and everyone smelled a burst of unpleasant stench, and then all kinds of screams came from the surroundings, and the shadows were full of shadows, as if something had just fallen from the strange bird.

Zhu Yu rushed back quickly and shouted: "That's a negative bird, don't kill the fallen bird, otherwise you will kill more and more." With that, he flew into the sky, jumped on the back of the bird, and looked at the different corpse puppet.

The other party is as tall as an ordinary person, and it looks like it's not the kind of rotting corpse, but more like a living thing, but the skin exposed outside the armor is too delicate, like a polished plaster, showing an unreal sense of delicacy. The same is the red eyes, and the red horn on the top of the head.

"Oh? Do you know a lot, little girl? The "man" said, mixed with a hoarse voice of a man or a woman.

Zhu Yu snorted, not at all surprised, the main lord finally appeared, "You are a living puppet?" Pingyuan City, that's what you did too, right? ”

"I lost two pets, today, you will be my new pet." As he spoke, several red rays of light shot towards the vermilion fish. Zhu Yu didn't dodge either, completely ignoring those hidden weapons, until he flew in front of him, all of them suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Zhu Yu just lifted the horizontal horse knife and gently pushed it aside.

"Don't pretend, you know who I am." Zhu Yu walked towards the living puppet step by step.

"Little girl, after a while, I will ride you under me, just like this negative bird, I know that you are ......" Before the words were finished, he suddenly lost the figure of Zhu Yu, and then felt a heavy blow to his waist, and the whole "person" was bent into a bow, and then like an arrow, it was quickly smashed directly to the ground, sinking into a deep pit.

Zhu Yu stood on the giant bird and scratched his chin, "I don't know who I am, it doesn't seem to be a fake, so let's take it lightly." Then he swooped down and rushed down, leaving the giant bird to the Butterfly Army, and there would be more and more such battles in the future, and they would have to work together to get through this level.

Liang Zongli and others, after a short period of turmoil, quickly prepared the team, according to Zhu Yu's prompts, no longer to cut and kill those small monsters that seemed to be big hairless roosters, each battalion and its own army, tacitly formed a large or small wheel array, forced the monster in the center, as long as it was close, stabbed back with a halberd, or cut off both feet when it was found, so that it could not move.

Xia Weifeng took people and pulled the bow carts that were made a few days ago and were specially aimed at these monsters, constantly aiming at the negative birds in the sky, and Liang Zongqing and other battalions acted as bait to lure them to pass at a low altitude, creating an opportunity for Xia Weifeng and others to kill with one blow.

After a few turns, the unintelligent opossum bird will be filled with huge arrows with a hissing after each flying.

In the end, Xing Baoyan looked at the few arrows left, she couldn't bear it, grabbed the bow cart, decisively pulled the trigger, and an arrow pierced the head of the negative bird, and then fell heavily to the ground, rolled a few times, and lay on the ground and struggled.

Xing Baoyan twisted her head towards Xia Weifeng, with a smug expression that she still had to rely on her mother, Xia Weifeng could only silently stretch out her thumb, and then the two immediately took the team and began to clean up the negative birds, so as not to cause another incident.

Soon, as the opossum bird was killed, the "black charcoal" buckled from the skull was destroyed, and the bird sons on the ground also dissipated in place.

The living puppet shook his head, it was so hateful that he was kicked down without even seeing the other party's figure. The red power continued to fill the body, and the black qi permeated the surroundings, looking at the vermilion fish that was slowly pacing, thick dirt vines continued to grow under the living puppet's body, and they wrapped around the vermilion fish.

Zhu Yu gently turned the scabbard of the horizontal horse knife, and all the dirt vines were constantly ground into toner and fell to the ground.

The puppet became more and more strained, and the vermilion fish got closer and closer to it. Zhu Yu suddenly saw a hint of a cruel smile at the other party, and then the dirt vines that turned into powder around her suddenly accumulated, and soon turned into an airtight cage, trapping her in it.

The puppet took out an eye, threw it on the cage, and was quickly sucked in, and then around the vermilion fish, a strong wind blew inexplicably.

Zhu Yu just waved his right hand lightly, and the whole cage, as if there was some pressure inside, bulged outward everywhere, and before he could hold two breaths, it exploded, and the live puppet was broken and cast, and when he saw that he was invincible, he wanted to turn around and fly to the giant bird.

As soon as I reached the middle of the air, I suddenly found, where is my bird? Then he was kicked down again.

The vermilion fish stepped on the puppet's head, gently crushed it, and stepped its head into the soil, without giving it the slightest chance to beg for mercy, and stepped on its head at once.

After all, he still couldn't hold back, Zhu Yu knelt on one knee, and purple blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He said to himself: "I actually used Gangfeng, which is a bit interesting." Wiped the corners of his mouth, in order not to let others see it, Zhu Yu, who had been pale before, was even more colorless.

She looked at the messy battlefield and the cheering Butterfly Army, and this time, they had made it through again.
