Mountain cliff cave, Yellow Turban stronghold.

There were no normal people in the cave, only a dozen demon pill soldiers, two or three demon pill witches, and the demon pill generals who guarded the house.

These demons were once humans, but under the erosion of excessive elixirs and evil energy, they have become monsters.

It is rumored that if you possess a true qi as powerful as a torrent, you can restore mortals who have turned into demons to their original state, but this claim has not been confirmed.

Xia Yu had also experimented, but it was not successful, and his true qi could not make these humanoid demons turn back to their original state.

Therefore, giving these demons a normal death so that they cannot harm others is already the limit of what he can do.

With this thought, Xia Yu sneaked into the cave with the ring-headed knife in hand, and under the cover of thaumaturgy, no one has found him yet.

The first demons to be dealt with are the Demon Pill Wizards, and these demon people named Demon Pill Witches are, as their name suggests, witches who incarnate as demons.

Because they were once sorcerers, these demons will use the Five Elements thaumaturgy to strengthen themselves and other demons, and will also use the greatsword generated by evil energy as a ranged attack.

Unlike the monks who have devoted themselves to their cultivation, these shamans are completely out of the realm of cultivators, who once dreamed of being revered by all people like immortals, but now they have gone astray, leaving only an indelible sin.

The three demon pill sorcerers were not far away, and they all opened their own altars, using the Five Elements thaumaturgy to strengthen their own side.

Xia Yu quietly stepped forward, first pinched a thunder battle technique, attached a thunder attribute to the weapon, and then like a ninja, directly covered his mouth and wiped his neck.

Because the weapon was blessed with thunder warfare, the sorcerer who had suffered a throat cut had just reacted, and he was paralyzed all over his body, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and he was easily killed.

However, Xia Yu also made a mistake, after he killed one of the wizards, the remaining two wizards immediately found that the amplification formation was weakened.

looked suspiciously, but saw that one of his colleagues was lying on the ground convulsive, and blood was gushing from his neck, and he couldn't survive.

"Enemy!!"

The demon pill wizards immediately roared, compared to the ordinary demon soldiers who had lost themselves and reason, although they also lost their rationality, but with the blessing of powerful mana, they only lost their rationality.

The roar echoed in the cave, causing many demons to look up, Xia Yu's face turned dark, and he secretly said that he was unlucky, so he used his waist and abdomen to throw the blade in his hand at one of the wizards.

Poof.

I saw that the roaring wizard was directly pierced through the shoulder blade, and then nailed to the wall by the ring knife.

Beep!!

Suddenly, there was a thunder on the ground, Xia Yu cast a heavenly thunder spell, and the dazzling thunder light fell from the sky, and then it was introduced into the sorcerer's body by the ring head knife, and it was directly electrocuted into coke.

Although another wizard was solved, Xia Yu's figure was completely revealed, and there was nothing to hide.

"Roar, roar!!"

Seeing that there was an intruder, the demon pill general roared loudly, and the demon soldiers immediately rushed up, holding the blade and roaring and slashing, at first glance it was really a little terrifying.

Although Xia Yu was not afraid, seeing such a scale, he still turned around and ran towards the height of the cave, and the thieves took advantage of the situation to chase after him, scrambling to attack.

In just a moment, Xia Yu had been cornered, there was no way out in front of the cave, and the rear was full of demon soldiers.

Hearing the roar coming from behind, Xia Yu sneered and turned his head, he was a monk of the Demon and Martial Arts Double Cultivation, and he was also very proficient in the earth genus in the Five Elements Thaumaturgy.

The seemingly panicked escape just now was actually looking for the terrain inside the cave.

Now that the terrain has been found, coupled with the thaumaturgical attraction, it is enough to cause a landslide and crack the ground, and completely bury the cave in the mountain.

Looking at the demon soldiers who were getting closer and closer to him, Xia Yu held his breath and concentrated, suddenly opened his eyes, and slapped his palm towards the mountain.

Mountain Curse!

A shock wave slammed into the mountain from the palm of his hand, and the stones on the left and right came out together, and the stone wall rumbled and collapsed down, as if a strong army was attacking from all sides, and the thieves were crushed.

The interior of the mountain was destroyed, and the rolling boulders fell from the top of the mountain, burying all the demon soldiers chasing below.

Although these demon soldiers are more powerful and ferocious than mortals, they have not yet reached the level of resisting natural disasters.

With a loud bang, half of the mountain collapsed in an instant, and even the extraordinary demon commander was buried under the natural disaster.

Less, halfway up the mountain.

A figure suddenly emerged from the ground, and the figure was surrounded by earthy yellow true qi, swimming in the soil like a swimming fish, and finally jumped out.

Because Xia Yu was in the innermost part of the cave, he was inevitably buried by the earth and stones, but who made him a thaumaturgical monk.

The Five Elements Thaumaturgy Earth Escape Technique can make people in the soil like fish swimming in water, and those who are not gifted cannot learn it, but it just so happens that he has a good talent and can learn this method of escaping.

Looking around at the collapsed cliff, Xia Yu took a deep breath, inserted his hand into the soil, and summoned his own weapon, the Ring Head Knife, through the metal of the Five Elements Thaumaturgy.

Although he can wipe out the enemies of the Yellow Turban stronghold little by little through martial arts, it will consume physical strength, which is not conducive to infiltration in the later stage, and will do more harm than good.

Therefore, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, and then adding thaumaturgical guidance to annihilate in one fell swoop, is the best way.

As for why he entered the cave first, it was just that he wanted to see if there were any captives, and if there were any, he would save them first, and if there were no captives, it would not be too late to collapse the cave.

After resting for a while, Xia Yu walked towards the mountainside again.

In fact, he also has doubts now, it stands to reason that the collapse of the cave should attract the Yellow Turban Army to come to investigate, but he didn't see anyone coming when he was resting just now.

It can't be that the other party doesn't care about this stronghold, even if the stronghold is full of demons and there are no living people, but demons are also a force.

Soldiers who have been transformed into demons through evil spirits will obey the orders of their evil masters, even though they have lost their minds.

Therefore, Zhang Bao, who is also a Fang Shi, can also control these soldiers who have turned into demons due to the elixir, but now no one has come to find out what is happening, which is really a bit strange.

Xia Yu, who was puzzled in his heart, continued to walk along the mountain road, although he was a little puzzled, but this did not affect him to continue to move forward.

After walking for a while, he came to a mountain road with stone pillars erected at the entrance, and torches burning on both sides.

The stone pillars are carved with strange patterns, and next to them lie several lifeless corpses, like the entrance to a demon cave.

Just as Xia Yu was looking at this entrance, a scream suddenly came, and Xia Yu's face changed, and he hurriedly ran inward along the entrance.

At the end of the hewn mountain road was a camp gate, which was wide open, and inside were two distinct armies of soldiers fighting.

One of the soldiers was dressed in yellow clothes and wearing yellow scarves on their heads, which were obviously yellow turban thieves, and the other team was a soldier of Gongsun Chan's army in white armor.

But if you take a closer look, you can find that the yellow turban thief's eyes are glowing red, and his fangs are spit out of his mouth, which is obviously a demon pill soldier.

Although the Demon Pill Soldier has lost his memory and rationality as a human, he still uses some weapons with the experience he has accumulated during his time as a soldier.

It is rumored that Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, deliberately used the pill to turn some of the rebel soldiers into demon pill soldiers in order to expand his combat power to overthrow the Han family.

Under the attack of the demon pill soldiers who were not afraid of death, the soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army were defeated and retreated, and a terrible scream was heard from time to time.

Xia Yu didn't hesitate and rushed into the battlefield with a weapon in hand.

The defeated soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army did not notice that outsiders had rushed into the battlefield because of fear and panic, but soon, they had to notice Xia Yu.

Because Xia Yu can be described as a wolf into the flock, every time he swings the blade, he will bring up a yellow scarf head, and the demon pill soldiers who make the soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army miserable can be easily solved in his hands like chopping melons and vegetables.

Just one person turned the entire battlefield situation around.

The soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army were stunned by this scene, although the other party was dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, but it was obviously not from their side.

I don't know who this person is, but he is so brave.

It's like a god descending from heaven, and in just a moment, they turned their side's disadvantage into an advantage.

"Chong, for General Gongsun!"

"Rush!!"

Seeing that Xia Yu was so brave, the remaining remnants only felt that their morale had risen and their confidence had soared.

They all waved their blades and rushed forward, slashing at the remaining Yellow Turban thieves, and with the blessing of morale, the soldiers of the Gongsun Chan Army only felt that there was an inexhaustible strength in their bodies.

Moments later, the battlefield cleared.

The Yellow Turban thieves who had originally gained the upper hand had all fled at this moment, but the soldiers of Gongsun Zhan's army did not catch up, they knew that the poor Kou Mo chased this truth.

"I wonder which general's subordinate you are? Thank you very much for your support. ”

A soldier who seemed to be the head of the scout walked up to Xia Yu, who was wiping his knife, and asked.

Xia Yu glanced at it and replied, "I'm just a volunteer, and I haven't joined any party for the time being." ”

"Your Excellency is a volunteer?!"

The scout leader looked surprised, in his mind, the Volunteers were not at all comparable to the regular soldiers, but now he realized that there were such strong men among the Volunteers.

"Since Your Excellency is a volunteer, can you consider joining the command of General Gongsun, Your Excellency has such force, and it will definitely be reused."

"In addition, Your Excellency saved us, I believe that General Gongsun will definitely not hesitate to reward Your Excellency."

Hear this. Xia Yu couldn't help but look at the scout leader who was arching his hand to him.

I didn't expect this guy to be quite loyal to Gongsun Zhan, and he actually recommended Gongsun Chan to him as soon as possible, but if he really had the idea of joining other forces, why bother looking for a loser.

Although Gongsun Zhan was also one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, he was defeated by Yuan Shao in the end, and finally trapped in a high-rise building and set himself on fire.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu shook his head: "No need, I haven't joined the idea of others for the time being." ”

Hearing Xia Yu say this, the scout head looked pity, but he didn't persuade him more.

The scout leader then ordered the surviving soldiers to rest in place, and when they regained their strength, they would send the information they had detected back to the base camp.

But before half an hour of rest, Xia Yu, who was sitting alone and recovering his strength, sat up abruptly and shouted, "Attention! There are demons! ”

The thunderous shout startled the soldiers who were repairing in place, and the next moment, a fierce roar suddenly sounded.

A huge ape demon suddenly fell from the sky, the ape demon was as tall as a house, its snow-white hair stood up like steel needles, and its scarlet eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light.

The claws were like sharp blades, and with a slight wave, they left five deep claw marks on the cliff wall.

Demon Zhu is disgusted!

Zhu Yan is a demon that resembles a great ape, and has been recorded in the "Classic of the West Mountains" in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

It is said that Zhu Yan inhabits the small sub-mountain that produces copper and white jade, it is a beast with red feet and white head, and it is said that as soon as Zhu Yan appears, there will be a great war in the world, and it is a feared ominous demon.

At this moment, after this ominous demon appeared, the startled Gongsun Zhanjun soldiers trembled, and the sound of ping-pong weapons landing sounded one after another.

"You guys go, staying here will only get in my way, I'll deal with this demon."

Xia Yu let out a loud shout, diluting the fear of the soldiers, and then went up with his sword and went straight towards the demon.

The fierce battle began in an instant, and with a wave of the demon's claws, it was able to leave deep claw marks on the ground, and thanks to Xia Yu's agile pace, he could easily dodge this attack.

Then Zhu Yan was like a real ape, suddenly jumped up, and slammed his fists to the ground, shaking the ground with a rumbling sound.

Reality can't be like a game, one strength can defuse all attacks, in the face of this large-scale earthquake, Xia Yu had to jump up and dodge as much as possible.

Neither side was able to help anyone, but they also fought back and forth.

Because Zhu Yan was entangled by Xia Yu here, the soldiers hurriedly gathered together.

Looking at the ferocious and bloodthirsty demon, the soldiers gathered were all terrified, because the military order was like a mountain, so they did not dare to flee as deserters.

However, there is always a decision, so all the scout soldiers look to their boss, the scout leader.

The scout leader looked ugly, glanced at the fierce fighting over there, and then at his brothers, who were almost all wounded.

There was fear in the eyes of these wounded soldiers, if they were facing the demon pill soldiers, then they could still gather morale somewhat, after all, those demons still looked like people.

But in the face of the demon Zhu Yan, they did not break up and escape, which is already commendable courage.

The head of the scout could also see this, his face was entangled for a moment, and he suddenly slapped himself, and said fiercely: "Let's go, staying now will only hinder the benefactor, bring the information to General Zhao Zilong, and ask General Zilong to come to help the benefactor." ”

With that, the scout leader ran towards the exit first, and the rest of the soldiers hurriedly fled with the scout leader.

Xia Yu, who was fighting with Zhu Yan, saw this scene with his peripheral vision, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, he had just heard the words of the scout leader.

At this time, Zhao Yun participated in the crusade against the Yellow Turban as a general under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and in the game, in order to find the scout whose whereabouts were unknown after going out to investigate, he single-handedly broke into Dongshan, Taishan County, which is rumored to be the nest of the Yellow Turban.

Now that he has saved the scout troops, it is enough to leave a good impression on Zhao Yun, and if Zhao Yun defeats Zhu Yan with him again, he will directly become a comrade-in-arms.

With this relationship, it will be much easier for him to form a friendship with Zhao Yun or invite Zhao Yun to join his command.

But having said that, it is estimated that the alliance with Zhao Yun is the biggest gain.

Now that Zhao Yun is serving under Gongsun Zhan, he will definitely not join him for no reason, even if he saves Zhao Yun's comrades-in-arms.

Besides, he has no power now, and he has no fame, and he is not as good as Gongsun Zhan, the first tyrant of Youzhou, it is estimated that he will have to wait until the real princes rise up, and the troubled times come, and Zhao Yun leaves Gongsun Zhan before it is possible to join him.

At that time, maybe he has become a prince and is qualified to invite Zhao Yun to join.
