After a long time.

Shen Qiu appeared under a house that was closer to the castle wall, and did not rush close to the city wall.

He squinted his eyes and looked closely at the wall in front of him, which was about 150 meters high, which was higher than the previous wall.

There are still a large number of corpse coffins hanging above the wall, and a large number of white threads are densely covered.

As for the organs, although Shen Qiu is not very clear, there is a high probability that there should be.

Overall, the difficulty of climbing is higher than before.

And the most troublesome thing is not the problem of climbing, but the large number of corpse guards on it, and these corpse guards are not sleeping, standing on the city wall like wood.

Shen Qiu's expression kept changing, he looked down at the bracelet and glanced at the time, and then walked back.

He temporarily gave up the plan to forcibly climb over, not because he was instigated, mainly because he felt that it was not appropriate now, and the goal in broad daylight was too conspicuous.

When the time comes, even if you go up, when you are chased and killed by corpses, it is not easy to hide.

Therefore, it is better to wait until it gets dark before acting, since the corpses here are still lit with kerosene lamps, it means that their eyesight has not evolved greatly, and light and darkness still have an effect.

It was still more than five hours before it got dark, and it was not appropriate to stand under the city walls for such a long time, so I simply went back to find a safe building to squat.

Just as Shen Qiu walked back some distance, he was suddenly stunned.

He saw the street in the distance, and a familiar figure looked like a thief.

"Yun Xiaoxi?"

Shen Qiu took a closer look, it was really her. Then a smile grew, and a hint of teasing interest rose.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qiu walked around from the alley next to him towards Yun Xiaoxi.

It didn't take long for Shen Qiu to go around to Yun Xiaoxi's back, only to see Yun Xiaoxi walking forward step by step in a sluggish spirit.

"Hey!"

Shen Qiu stretched out his hand and patted Yun Xiaoxi's shoulder.

Yun Xiaoxi was suddenly frightened, instinctively reacted, turned around and kicked Shen Qiu directly in the abdomen with all his might.

Boom!

"Oops~"

Shen Qiu's abdomen was suddenly hit hard, and the severe pain made his face white, and he couldn't help but squat down holding his stomach.

"It's me, you're too ruthless, aren't you?"

Yun Xiaoxi saw clearly at this time that it was Shen Qiu who attacked her. Immediately, his eyes turned red, and he also squatted down and cried.

"Woo~"

Shen Qiu was also stunned when he saw Yun Xiaoxi squatting and crying, and he comforted him with a smile and a smile.

"Uh, what are you crying about? Am I the one who was beaten? ”

As a result, Yun Xiaoxi cried even more sadly, and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Shen Qiu's neck.

Shen Qiu was also a little panicked immediately, and hurriedly apologized.

"Alright, alright, my fault, I shouldn't have joked with you, don't cry."

"Woo, I finally found someone, I thought I was going to die here alone."

Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu with a sob.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he thought something was wrong.

"It's okay, it's not okay."

However, in the next second, Yun Xiaoxi, who was holding Shen Qiu, slipped directly to the ground weakly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, where are you hurt?"

Shen Qiu was also immediately panicked, and hurriedly asked.

"I'm hungry."

Yun Xiaoxi said weakly.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he was also stunned. Then he quickly took out a pack of compressed biscuits from his pocket and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi, who was originally weak, suddenly came to life, took the biscuits, tore open the package, lightly lifted the mask, revealed the cherry mouth, and gnawed wildly.

"You eat slowly, there's more."

Shen Qiu took out the separate mechanical capsule that was still on the ground, took out the water from it and handed it to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi took it and directly showed off the whole bottle of water in one go.

Shen Qiu silently handed her a bag of food, and he couldn't help but shake his head. When I saw her for the first time, she was also half starved to death.

Now that they met again, she was still half starved to death, and Shen Qiu couldn't cry or laugh a little.

"You don't know, how I've been living these days, I thought I'm going to starve to death."

Yun Xiaoxi slurred his words.

Shen Qiu sighed, and then took out another mechanical capsule that was still on the ground, he sorted out the contents of the separate mechanical capsule, moved the contents to the complete set of mechanical capsules, left a lot of water and food, and then shrunk the capsule, handed it to Yun Xiaoxi and said.

"You take this mechanical capsule, there is food and drink in it, in case we are separated, the contents can save your life."

When Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu's words, his little head shook like a rattle.

"No, I don't want to be separated from you, it's too scary here."

After Shen Qiu heard this, he also smiled dumbly and said helplessly.

"I'm talking about what if."

"Not even in case."

Yun Xiaoxi shook his head vigorously, but he didn't take the capsule.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. I can't be by your side all the time, holding this capsule, which has a lot of food and drink, and can save lives at critical moments. ”

Shen Qiu said and forcibly stuffed the mechanical capsule into Yun Xiaoxi's hand.

"Okay."

Yun Xiaoxi regained his senses a little and took it.

"By the way, why are you here? And with such good luck, overlapping directly to the second floor? ”

Shen Qiu squatted down and chatted with Yun Xiaoxi.

When Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu's words, she was even more aggrieved.

"I don't know what's going on, I was staying at home for some reason, and somehow the broken box glowed and overlapped me. I didn't prepare for anything, and if I had come in normally, I would have been so miserable. ”

Shen Qiu heard Yun Xiaoxi's words and said with a slight startle.

"Where's the box?"

"Here."

Yun Xiaoxi immediately took out the dark metal box and handed it to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu took the box, his expression became very exciting, and he said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Let's go to the next house."

"Good!"

Yun Xiaoxi replied while nibbling on the compressed biscuits.

Soon after, the two appeared in an inconspicuous residential building.

Shen Qiu turned out the theory of evolution, and then kept playing with the black metal box.

"Why are you looking at this box all the time? It's an empty box. ”

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously while pulling the beef jerky.

"Not necessarily."

Shen Qiu smiled and replied.

"Is it possible to conjure things?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked suspiciously.

"Definitely."

Shen Qiu felt for the hidden stick inside the dark metal box and pulled it out.

He tried to turn it, and suddenly the whole box was like a Rubik's cube, and it could be turned.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at this scene and said very magically.

"Hey, you can turn?"

"It's not just about turning, it's about what's in there."

Shen Qiu didn't hide Yun Xiaoxi.

"Huh? How could it be! ”

Yun Xiaoxi was also very surprised when she heard Shen Qiu's words, she always thought that this box was empty.

"Really, but there's a problem right now."

Shen Qiu fell into a tangled expression.

"What's the trouble?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"I was told what I could get by turning this box on the cover of this book on evolution. But the front and bottom covers of this book on evolution are different, which one should I turn to? ”

Shen Qiu flipped through the theory of evolution, and if he looked closely, he would find that the front of the book was imprinted with the sun-like eyes open, and the back was closed.

This made Shen Qiu a little confused.

"Why do you want to do so much, just turn it all over again."

After Yun Xiaoxi finished speaking nonchalantly, he continued to lower his head and nibble on beef jerky, eating now is the most important thing.

Shen Qiu's eyes lit up after hearing her words, as if this was the right reason, so he began to turn the box.

Half an hour later.

Shen Qiu smoothly turned the lines on the box into the pattern of the front cover of the Theory of Evolution.

Click!

Suddenly, the dark metal box made a crisp sound.

Hearing the movement, Yun Xiaoxi also stopped eating.

Shen Qiu took a deep breath, feeling a little excited, opened the box, and a purple bewitching flower came into the eyes of the two.

"It's amazing, there's really something, what is it?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked in surprise.

Shen Qiu picked up the bracelet and pointed it at the flower, trying to let Xiao Qi identify it.

“？？？ Suspected of being the Flower of Eternity, but not sure. ”

Xiao Qi gave a vague answer.

Shen Qiu touched his chin, but he didn't pay much attention to it, he took out the flower and put it into his mechanical capsule.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qiu closed the box again and turned the box again.

This time he's going to piece together another figure.

Ten minutes later, the pattern on the box was spelled together to look like the bottom of the theory of evolution.

Click!

The swarthy metal box made a crisp sound again.

When Shen Qiu heard this voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, there was really something else.

He opened the black box with great joy, but when he saw the contents of the box, he was stunned.

It is a key made of black gemstones, and this key is very intricate, densely covered with irregular key teeth.

Shen Qiu was quite curious and picked up this key and observed it repeatedly.

"Where's the key?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"I don't know."

Shen Qiu was also quite puzzled.

"Could it be the key to the castle gates?"

Yun Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and asked.

"Probably not, the door key wouldn't be so small and delicate."

"Where would that be the key?"

"Forget it, don't guess, turn around and hit a similar keyhole, just try it, give."

Shen Qiu didn't bother too much, and then directly handed the key to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi was also stunned when he saw the key handed over by Shen Qiu.

"What are you doing for me?"

"One person saves the same!"

Shen Qiu replied directly and casually.

"Don't, you can save it, so I'm more at ease."

Yun Xiaoxi shook his head and replied.

"Really?"

"Hmm!"

"Alright then, just put me here first."

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he directly put the key and box into the mechanical capsule.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly thought of something, and then spoke.

"By the way, you can ask the guy who told you that the box had something to know."

"That person has long since died, and as for this box of things, it was actually the task reward that the person gave me in advance."

"Huh? What did that person ask you to do? ”

"Kill the king."

Shen Qiu replied lightly.

Yun Xiaoxi was also stunned when she heard this, and then her head shook like a rattle, and said to Shen Qiu.

"Shen Qiu, don't go, the monsters here are very perverted. That king is estimated to be stronger, and you have already received the reward? There's no need to go again, right? ”

When Shen Qiu heard Yun Xiaoxi's words, he also smiled dumbly and said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"If this is replaced by someone else, the rewards will be in hand, and I guess I will really quit. But since I've promised her, I can't give up halfway. And there's another very important reason why I'm going to continue that mission. ”

"What is the reason?"

Yun Xiaoxi looked at Shen Qiu very puzzled.

"The king of this Thousand Hidden Kingdom is called Mellon, he disappeared for a while before he became king, and then he dismantled the old kingdom like a hanger, became the new king, and led the entire civilization to its demise. Now I suspect that something must have happened during his disappearance, that he must have known something, and that if I could take him down, maybe there would be a chance to unravel the real cause of the overlap, and that our current world was not following in their footsteps. ”

Shen Qiu explained to Yun Xiaoxi with a serious expression.

Yun Xiaoxi was also stunned when he heard this.

"If that's the case, then we're really going to have to give it a go."

"That's right, it's a fight. But it's not completely out of chance, although the monsters in this world are powerful, they are still within the scope of cognition, and they are not as perverted as the Monkdormon to the extreme, we still have a chance. ”

Shen Qiu nodded, in fact, if it was before, he really wouldn't have to be involved in these things.

But after seeing so many destroyed civilizations, as well as the stormy Red Alliance, he clearly realized that there were no eggs under the nest.

If their civilization really dies, they may not be able to survive alone.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Yun Xiaoxi stared at Shen Qiu and asked.

"When it gets dark, we'll find a way to get into the castle."

Shen Qiu said very simply.

"Okay, let's get some rest."

Yun Xiaoxi nodded heavily.

Thousand Hidden Castles.

Mellon changed back into his sacred and ornate golden robes, put on a triple crown, and sat on the throne of the lookout.

The huge pool of blood in front of the belvedere moved.

Click!

I saw two opposing stone platforms extending from the wall of the deep pit, closing to the cross, and forming a road on both sides.

Eleven Blood Knights led a large number of corpse soldiers, escorting a large number of captives.

At this time, Eric walked up to Mellon's side and reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty, most of those who broke in have been arrested. But some individual masters and some minions escaped. ”

"Is there enough sacrifice?"

Mellon asked hoarsely.

"It's just a little bit closer, I will send some more people to search for it, and I will definitely gather the sacrifices that His Majesty needs."

Eritch hesitated for a moment, then reported truthfully.

"No, hang them all, I'm sure they'll come to their rescue."

There was a look of fanaticism in Mellon's eyes, he had been waiting for this day for too long, and finally everything was ready.

"Understood!"

Eric replied respectfully.

It didn't take long for all the captured captives to be put in special cages and hung from the cross.

Time passed little by little, and gradually night fell.

At this time, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi quickly ran towards the wall under the castle.

It didn't take long for the two to reach the bottom of the wall.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at the towering city wall and the coffin hanging from it, and she swallowed a mouthful of spit.

"Shen Qiu, can we really go up?"

Shen Qiu took a closer look, and he found that the corpse soldiers on the city wall seemed to be a little less and a little sparse, and he immediately said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"It's not easy to go up, it's very difficult, let's go around the castle to see where it's weakest."

"Okay."

Yun Xiaoxi nodded.

"By the way, this weapon is for you."

Shen Qiu then handed the Blue Sky Blade to Yun Xiaoxi.

Yun Xiaoxi subconsciously took it, but when she saw clearly that the sword was embedded with a cube atomic module, she was also stunned.

"This weapon is too valuable."

"If you take it, you can take it, and when you turn around and fight, there is a weapon at hand and a weapon at hand, it is two different things."

Shen Qiu couldn't help but gently tap Yun Xiaoxi's brain and said.

"Oh, okay, I'll use it first."

Yun Xiaoxi heard Shen Qiu say this, so he nodded in response.

"Let's go."

Shen Qiu didn't talk much nonsense, he took Yun Xiaoxi along the city wall, looking for a weak breakthrough.

More than an hour later.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked, unconsciously getting closer and closer to the south gate of the castle.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi said in surprise.

"Shen Qiu, look, the gate of that castle seems to be open."

Shen Qiu was also very surprised when he heard Yun Xiaoxi's words. Then I looked into the distance, and it turned out that the south gate of the castle was really open.

"What's the situation? The doors are open? ”

"But there seem to be corpse guards, but there don't seem to be many of them."

Yun Xiaoxi said after a careful observation.

Shen Qiu looked at the open south gate, as well as the sparse defensive forces, and couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, there must be a demon when something goes wrong.

At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly sensed movement behind him, and immediately turned around and shouted in a low voice.

"Who?"

Yun Xiaoxi sensed that something was wrong, and immediately turned around.

At this time, Lieutenant General Hedry came out with a group of subordinates.

"Not good!"

Shen Qiu saw that he was from the Blue Alliance, his pupils shrank slightly, and his whole body flashed with thunder, ready to fight.

"Stop."

Then a voice rang out.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi turned their heads to look over, only to see Shi Yao and Admiral Dimlock, as well as Baikatu and others coming over.

"Shi Yao!"

Yun Xiaoxi shouted in surprise.

"Xiaoxi."

Shi Yao was also stunned, she didn't expect Yun Xiaoxi to be here.

Yun Xiaoxi immediately ran up very happily and hugged Shiyao and said.

"It's really you, why are you here?"

Shen Qiu looked at this scene, his brows frowned slightly, and he suddenly felt very uneasy in his heart.

The people of the Red Alliance, the Blue Alliance, and the Gray Alliance actually walked together, and it is estimated that no one will believe it.

At this time, the eyes of Hedri and Diplock couldn't help but fall on the blue sky blade pinned to Yun Xiaoxi's waist, and their expressions were suddenly a little unnatural, but they quickly returned to normal.

Shen Qiu asked in a deep voice at this time.

"Shi Yao, what the hell is going on, why are you with the people of the Blue Alliance and the Gray Alliance?"

"Yes, Shiyao, how can you be with them."

Yun Xiaoxi also asked very curiously.

Baikatu and the others did not mean to explain, after all, the people of the Red Alliance, let them explain themselves.

"We're on a truce."

Shi Yao said simply.

"Truce?"

Shen Qiu was even more curious.

"Our people, as well as their people, have been captured by the forces of the Thousand Hidden Kingdoms and are now locked up in the castle. We all barely escaped and then bumped into each other! We have now reached an agreement to work together to save lives. ”

Shi Yao explained briefly.

"Ah, it's so serious!"

Yun Xiaoxi was also very surprised when he heard this.

After listening to Shi Yao's words, Shen Qiu immediately glanced at the people of the Blue Alliance and the Gray Alliance with his eyes, and he found that there were only more than a hundred people left in the Blue Alliance, and only a few dozen people left in the Gray Alliance.

He narrowed his eyes at Hedley.

"How many of you have been arrested?"

"That's a lot."

Hedri twitched his cheeks, and among all of them, they had the most people arrested, more than six hundred people.

Shen Qiu turned his head to look at Baikatu.

"How many people have been arrested in Baikathu? And I remember that you Gray League don't seem to care about death and injury, you actually want to save people? ”

"It's your business, I'm willing to save people."

Baikatu replied angrily, the fact is that if it weren't for his eldest brother and several important younger brothers being arrested, he wouldn't want to save people.

Shen Qiu finally turned his head to look at Shi Yao.

"How many of us have been arrested?"

"I know more than 20 people alone, and I don't know much about the rest. But Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong was also arrested, Shen Qiu, you can help us go and save people together. ”

Shi Yao said calmly to Shen Qiu.

Hedry also spoke at this time.

"This kid is very strong, and with him joining, our chances of winning can increase by one point."

Baikatu was also slightly stunned when he heard Hedry comment on Shen Qiu, and his eyes were a little different when he looked at Shen Qiu.

For a while, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qiu's body.

Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Shen Qiu said directly.

"I refuse."

"Why?"

Shi Yao and the others were also stunned.

"It's just going to die."

Shen Qiu replied calmly.

"We're a little understaffed right now, but we're still gathering scattered people, and we should be able to gather some people."

Hedry explained.

"Then I will refuse."

Shen Qiu replied unceremoniously.

"Why? Guo Zong: They have all been arrested, and now we must work together. ”

Shi Yao looked at Shen Qiu very puzzled, thinking that it would be a matter of course, but Shen Qiu actually refused.

Yun Xiaoxi was also puzzled and asked.

"Shen Qiu?"

Shen Qiu said directly and lightly.

"We've been arrested in our 20s, and there are no friends and team members of mine in it, what does it have to do with me? Why should I risk saving it? ”

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Shi Yao heard Shen Qiu's words and said with some anger.

"I know, the problem has nothing to do with me, I don't want to take the risk, you have to risk yourself."

Shen Qiu said unceremoniously.

"You"

Shi Yaoqi's chest rose and fell a little.

"Shen Qiu, don't be like this, Shi Yao, don't be angry, you have something to say."

Yun Xiaoxi was also a little panicked, and hurriedly persuaded both sides.

Baikathu, Hedrri and the others looked at this scene, and their expressions did not change in particular. According to their thinking logic, it was normal for Shen Qiu to be reluctant to get involved, after all, he didn't have any important people captured, so why take the risk.

Then Shen Qiu said directly to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, let's go."

"Huh? The"

Yun Xiaoxi was also stunned.

"Xiaoxi, don't go with him, this kind of person is not worth it to be selfish."

Shi Yao said angrily.

"Xiaoxi, whether you go with me or stay with her, you choose."

After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Yun Xiaoxi was also very embarrassed for a while.

But when she saw Shen Qiu leaving, she hurriedly apologized to Shi Yao, and then chased after Shen Qiu.

"I'm sorry! Shi Yao. ”

"Shen Qiu, you wait for me!"
