Chapter 343: Life and Death Are Different, the Fortress Has Fallen

Zhang Hengchuan only felt a chill coming out of his heart, and wanted to shout a few words loudly, but he couldn't shout, and took a few steps back in a row.

Suddenly, a hand was on his back, and a familiar broken gong voice sounded in his ears: "It turned out to be Lao Zhang!" Why are you here too? ”

It was the voice of General Yang, the attendant officer. On the day when the giant python swallowed Qiao Toad, General Yang didn't know where to flee alone, but he didn't expect to meet him here again.

Zhang Hengchuan breathed a sigh of relief, although General Yang used to be quite annoying, and he always liked to drink to himself, but after all, he was a living person who could speak. It's great to meet a living person here......

He was about to turn his head to talk to General Yang, when his eyes fell on the hand on his right shoulder, and his body couldn't help but stiffen.

That hand, flesh and blood, didn't look like a living person's hand......

Zhang Hengchuan chuckled in his heart, and a layer of white sweat suddenly appeared on his body.

He remembered a saying he had heard from the old man before:

When walking at night, if someone calls you from behind, don't look back. Because there are three lamps on a person's body, one on the head and the other two on the shoulder, if you turn back suddenly, it is easy to extinguish the lamp on your shoulder, and as soon as the yang energy is extinguished, the ghost will be summoned to the soul and reduced to substitute death.

This General Yang walked alone in the forest for a few days, with his little ability, can he survive until now? He's not as good as me!

Although he was trembling all over, Zhang Hengchuan still calmed down and tried his best to strengthen his courage.

The surname Yang was not as good as me when he was alive, he has now become a dead ghost, and Lao Tzu is afraid that he will not succeed?

Slowly, Zhang Hengchuan's right hand touched the handle of the knife on his waist.

Damn, why don't you listen to this hand, what are you shaking all the time, shaking your grandma's!

Haha, I touched it!

Zhang Hengchuan stood upright with his knife in his hand, and was about to open his mouth to let out a wild laugh, when he was interrupted by a voice in front of him. "Yo, isn't this Captain Zhang?"

The voice!!

Zhang Hengchuan's forehead was a bean-sized bead of sweat. With a grim expression, he stared straight at a figure slowly walking around the corner of the hallway.

"Why, Captain Zhang has been added to the rank of knight in the past few days, so he doesn't know General Ben?"

Joe Toad! General Joe!

His face was still exactly the same as when he first died, his flesh was rotting, and the bloody hole in his lower lip that had been bitten through by his upper teeth was still there! It was Zhang Hengchuan who dug him out of the belly of the giant python with his own hands!

Zhang Hengchuan screamed strangely, turned his head and ran wildly.

As he turned his head, he vaguely felt a lightness on his shoulders, as if something had left his body, but the intense fear urged him to speed up his pace, step on the corpses that strewn all over the ground, and rushed through the corridor.

"Zhang Hengchuan, stop for General Ben!" Qiao Chan shouted hard in the back.

General Yang, Pei Zhuangshi and many other figures followed, dragging out countless shadows of teeth and claws under the bleak night sky.

Zhang Hengchuan exerted all his strength to feed, ran for an unknown distance, and finally stopped hearing the roars of Qiao Chan and General Yang.

But he didn't dare to look back, his intuition told him that the ghosts behind him were still following closely, and he could already feel the cold breath around his neck, like a resentful soul asking for his life, and even the trees in front of him seemed to come to life, and they stretched out their lush arms to stop him.

The thick fog filled the forest, and Zhang Hengchuan couldn't distinguish the direction at all, or rather, he had already panicked.

After running for a long, long time, he came to a small river, and heard the sound of rushing water, and everything that had been before suddenly disappeared like a nightmare, and the tree turned back into a tree, no longer showing its teeth and claws, and the ghosts that had been following him were gone, and they all seemed to have disappeared by the strange river.

Zhang Hengchuan saw a little fire in front of him, and faintly heard someone talking. He was exhausted at this time, and no matter whether it was a person or a ghost in front of him, he could only crawl over it.

"Who?" Before he arrived at the camp, Zhang Hengchuan was stopped by a strong man like a black iron tower.

Zhang Hengchuan saw this person's face clearly, and was so excited that snot and tears came out: "General Zhao, woo woo, I can be regarded as seeing you...... woo"

It was Zhao Jia, who was ranked second among the five tiger generals, who stopped him!

"It turned out to be Captain Zhang! It's rare that you can still catch up with the team! But ......" Zhao Jia's eagle-like gaze slowly swept over Zhang Hengchuan's body, and his brows gradually squeezed out pimples, "Captain Zhang, although it is not easy for you to come all the way, there is one thing I have to say - the living and the dead cannot go together, you better go back!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Hengchuan froze, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go where you need to go."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you know yet? You're dead! ”

Zhang Hengchuan lost all his strength at once, sat down on the ground, looked up at Zhao Jia, and suddenly cried: "No! That's impossible! ”

"Don't make noise, you have to cry and cry far away, Miss is sleeping!" Zhao Jia covered Zhang Hengchuan's mouth, carried him to the river like an adult holding a child, found a bottomless location, and threw him down.

A few bubbles bubbled up on the surface of the water, and a mass of crimson color rendered out, staining a large area of the river red, and then gradually diluted, and soon calmed down.

"Whew!" Zhao Jia clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that I didn't make any noise." ”

The East is whitening.

Du Shan opened the tent door, took a deep breath, felt the fresh breath in his heart, and the rich heaviness in his heart also disappeared partly.

The world is vast, the river flows quietly, the golden light spreads down from the upper reaches of the east, and the distant mountains are like daisies.

Du Shan wiped his eyes, showed a smile, and muttered: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, and I will never stop it." ”

"Big brother, you're awake." The cuckoo walked over from the other side of the camp, looked at his face, and said tentatively, "You...... Okay? ”

"My brother is tough."

"I heard, you dreamed of Aggie?"

"There's such a thing." Du Shan said, raised his head, looked at the dark cyan sky, sighed, and said, "What is the limit of love, everywhere is the soul." The old people are gone, and the old songs are rehearsed......"

"And what are you going to do?" The cuckoo looked at him a little nervously.

"What should I do?" Du Shan laughed, "It's just a dream, what else can I do?" Let's go, get up, hurry up and eat and get on the road! ”

The rest of the road gradually became calmer. When Jiang Chen intentionally or unintentionally exuded aura around him, it was difficult to encounter monsters and big demons on the road.

The only thing to worry about is the demon troops, Jiang Chen found a few teams scattered in the forest, and they can generally be warned and avoided in time. As for those who can't be avoided, they will sneak over quietly and kill them all.

Five days passed in a flash, on the way to the east, I also met some dart masters, hunters, many of them were survivors who escaped from the demon attack, and were bullied by monsters, when they saw the demeanor of General Du, the lord of the three armies, they were immediately shocked, and they bowed their heads and bowed, willing to follow General Du left and right to follow the work of the saddle horse.

In the past few days, the heroes and heroes who have defected one after another add up to nearly one hundred and eighty, and the Jiangshan hunting group has been strong for a while, and has escaped from the encirclement of demons again and again, and only paid a very small number of casualties in a few days, and everyone has commanded General Dao Du to be superb, which is convincing.

When he walked out of the border of the Netherworld Forest and approached the West Liao City, Du Shan had become the real head of the three armies, with hundreds of subordinates, all of whom were elite warriors who could fight habitually, and the eight King Kongs and the Thirteen Taibao who were short of personnel had already been filled, and a new left, middle and right three-way vanguard was newly built, and the heroes and heroes from the seven provinces and thirteen roads were all the only ones who looked forward to General Du, in addition to these unruly heroes who would fight and hurt people every day, and every night there were unlucky ghosts who were choked by unknown murderers. Everything is moving in a good direction.

On the sixth day, the team finally came to the edge of the barren forest outside the city of Xiliao, and when they saw the tomahawk spear banner fluttering above the fortress from a distance, many people could not help but be overjoyed, tears welled up in their eyes, and even dropped their weapons, tore their tattered clothes and roared to the sky.

After many hardships and deaths, they are finally back!

How many people thought that they would never be able to set foot on the land of humans again when they rubbed shoulders with the claws of demons!

Even someone as arrogant and self-conscious as Liu Qian couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes and show a happy smile.

In the midst of the revelry, an untimely voice sounded: "Don't be too happy, there is still a long way to go." ”

In the noise, this sentence was inconspicuous, but Liu Qian was one of the few people who listened to it, and she couldn't help but look back at Jiang Chen: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Jiang Chen looked at the battlements full of traces of time in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "There is the breath of demons in the city. ”

The faces of everyone who heard this changed their faces, and Liu Qian was no exception.

Demons invade human land? Where did they get the guts, aren't they afraid of provoking the national teacher Zhang Manqing and the sword venerable Shen Lingfeng again?

Since ancient times, the Western Liao City has guarded the western border of mankind, resisting demons and beasts, standing for thousands of years, and has never had a record of falling.

Could it be that such a fortified fortress would be breached by demons? The human defenders are so vulnerable in front of the demons? All of this is simply an incredible thing for people.

As a descendant of the family, Liu Qian knew the meaning of this matter better than anyone here.

The demons are a group of ferocious beasts, but they also have their own organization and rules, and as the overlord of the other side of the cave world, their move is definitely not a simple plunder.

Is it some conspirators in the Cloud Dream World who lent them this guts? Despicable conspirators, in order to realize their ambitions, do not hesitate to drag hundreds of millions of living beings in the Yunmeng world into the flames of war?

What is happening in front of us may be a metaphor for the outbreak of the largest war in nearly a hundred years. Everyone on this land. Regardless of the aristocracy and commoners, their life and death will be closely linked to this war that changed the times.

"Brother Liuying, you must hold on, you must hold on until I meet you......

Liu Qian only felt a chill down her spine, and turned her head to look at Jiang Chen. This kid's expression was still very calm, could it be that he had expected something a long time ago?

She guessed right.

Ever since he knew that the actual number of demons was far more than three hundred, Jiang Chen had a hunch that Western Liao City might not be able to stop the demons.

Because the city lord Chai Tianpeng has died under Yun Su's hands!

The prestige of the successor city lord is insufficient, it is difficult to convince the people, and the Western Liao City, which has no leader, even if it has a hundred elite soldiers, cannot exert one-twelfth of its true combat power.

Liu Qian squinted her eyes and looked to the east.

The midday sun shone on the ancient city, the flags were waving in the wind, all this was peaceful and peaceful, who knew that hidden in it was the mouth of a fierce beast grinding its teeth and sucking blood?

"The flag hasn't fallen yet!" Liu Qian pointed to the wall and shouted, "There may be defenders inside who insist on fighting the demons." ”

"Someone is someone, but ...... They all seemed to be captives. Jiang Chen said, "If we just break through like this, we should be able to reunite with them soon." Do you want to give it a try? ”

"So, what then?" Liu Qian was at a loss.

Western Liao City is the largest fortress to resist the invasion of Western monsters, and it is also the only entrance from the Netherworld Forest to the human realm. If you want to go east and give up the Xiliao fortress, unless you climb over a steep snow-capped mountain thousands of miles high, this is simply impossible for normal human beings.

"Four hundred and fifty miles to the north, there is another fortress."

Four hundred and fifty miles, and many mountainous roads, it was definitely another difficult trek. Liu Qian couldn't endure such a hellish trip anymore, she looked back at everyone, and then turned her gaze back to Jiang Chen's face: "Our food can't last that long." ”

"Yes, you can also hunt and pick wild vegetables on the road, as long as you are not picky eaters, Miss Liu, it will be no problem to walk another five hundred miles......"

"Can't you think of a more reliable way?"

"What do you mean?"

Liu Qian pointed at the banner at the head of the city with a horsewhip, and a fierce look appeared on her face: "Kill it!" ”

Jiang Chen grinned and stared at Liu Qian, until the other party began to be a little annoyed and angry, then nodded and said, "Although it is reckless, it is a good idea." ”

When Du Shan heard Jiang Chen's first words, he was already restraining the troops, silencing everyone and standing by in place. But his order could not stop the urgency of people to return to their hometowns in a frenzied atmosphere, and more than a dozen people ignored his shouts and ran in the direction of Western Liaocheng.

When one person takes the lead, more people follow. In the blink of an eye, Du Shan's proud troops became a plate of scattered sand, and they rushed to the city noisily.

"Lao Jiang! Lao Jiang! Look at thisβ€”"

"Let them go." Jiang Chen said lightly, "We just need a few people to help us lure the enemy." ”

"Are you really going to kill it?" Du Shan's face was bitter.

"The Grand Master has already decided, let's just listen to the order." Jiang Chen teased.

Liu Qian couldn't laugh at all at this time, she clenched the whip, and her palms were sweaty.

She knew that she was actively participating in a war that could go down in history, and if she took one wrong step, she would be doomed.

Xiao Mink and the ten knights all looked at Liu Qian quietly, their fates were connected with Liu Qian, sharing honor and disgrace, life and death.

After a long time, Liu Qian's dry throat let out a hoarse voice: "Get off the horse, let's go behind that dirt slope and prepare for an ambush." ”

A few cronies who did not leave followed Liu Qiandu Mountain and came to the bottom of the dirt slope outside the city.

Some people were just willing to follow Du Shan, and they would be suspicious of Jiang Chen's statement and Liu Qian's order, and watched the vanguard gradually approach under the city wall with an attitude of watching the excitement.

"Open the door! Open the door! ”

"What about people, don't you get out of here!"

"Close the city gate in broad daylight, do you have a funeral?"

After a burst of scolding, with a "boom" sound, the drawbridge was lowered and the city gates were opened.

Standing behind the door was not a human, but a five-headed tall demon.

When the hunter at the front let out a frightened scream, a demon strode out, and an axe slashed at the hunter's forehead, and suddenly his brain burst out, and red and white were sprinkled everywhere.

Then it looked down at the rest of the men majestically, opened its bloody jaws, and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
