Following dozens of wild wolves, dozens of zombie wolves poured into the village. The wolves are responsible for the Bright Stone, and the Dire-possessed Dires bite the people to death and devour their souls, leaving their bodies to the living wolves. They have a clear division of labor, benefit sharing, and have demonstrated a high level of organizational wisdom.

"Shoot the arrows!" At the sound of the command, the soldiers hiding on the rooftops appeared, they were armed with longbows, the arrows were specially made of brightstone grinding, the soldiers were all deed, and with the power of the deed, these arrows were stimulated, and a little light shattered the night like stars.

Arrows rain down on a zombie wolf, and the Bright Stone's special arrows are so effective against Dire wolves that they can be blocked with a single arrow and wiped out their lives with a second arrow. The Dire wolves reacted, and the few Dire wolves that had not yet been hit turned around and ran.

However, at the entrance of the village, above their retreat, Cheng Lu was already in place. The fire crystal dagger in his hand bloomed with fiery sparks, and the power of the Covenanter surged, which was also effective in damaging Dire.

The ghostly figure shuttled among several Dire wolves, but those huge Dire wolves couldn't touch the corners of Cheng Lu's clothes. Cheng Lu is a master known for his speed, and in a breath, he cut off the head of a Dire wolf with a knife, and killed the Dire attached to it. Ignite a Dire wolf with another sword. Like butterflies dancing among the wolves, it only takes a few breaths for the four Dire wolves, who have not been injured by the arrows, to stop moving.

"Good! Captain Cheng is mighty! The soldiers cheered.

Dire are spirit creatures that must be attached to these wolf corpses, and it takes a certain amount of time to prepare for the beginner and intermediate Dire to get out of the wolf corpses, so everyone is quick to decide, otherwise it will not be easy to kill the Dire when they get away.

Zhan Yue recalled the scene when the saintess raised her hand in the desert to kill the wolves in seconds, and the saintess alone was stronger than the results of this army. This is still a saintess who has not grown up after being suppressed by the Dire Cold Poison, and the Covenant of Light's restraint on Dire is even greater than Zhan Yue imagined.

"Beginner and intermediate Dire can't easily get out of possessed objects, so it's relatively easy to kill, and advanced Dire can escape from the body in an instant, which is far from something we can solve. You'll have to let a dedicated master deal with it. Cheng Lu came to Zhanyue's side and explained.

Zhan Yue looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground and said curiously, "Captain, is there an intermediate Dire here?" ”

Cheng Lu shook his head, "No, where can an intermediate Dire be killed with a few arrows." They were very cunning and didn't rush after them in the first place. ”

"Huh? Isn't that what they have escaped? Zhan Yue didn't expect the mid-level Dire to be so vigilant and not harvest the prey in the first place.

Cheng Lu smiled slightly, "Why don't you guess there is no General Song here?" ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, a huge shadow appeared at the entrance of the village, it was a huge blood-colored spider, the size was comparable to a truck, and it looked very terrifying. On the back of the blood-colored spider stood a bald man, who was General Song. But I saw that the blood-colored spider walked on six legs, and there was a wolf corpse stuck in each of the two feet hanging in the air, and the zombie wolf was much larger than the other wolves.

"I didn't expect there to be two intermediate Dire, but fortunately I kept an eye on it." General Song jumped off the spider's back, and then the huge spider quickly changed to the size of a fist and jumped onto Song Yi's shoulder.

"Worthy of the Beast Pact." Zhan Yue said with emotion. The mid-level Dire hiding in the distance was also captured and killed by Song Yi.

"The live wolves were stopped and killed by my soldiers from a distance, and the wolves were afraid that they had migrated from far away." Cheng Lu replied that his men had been arranged at another exit of the village to ambush the wolves from the beginning.

"The herd beasts in a radius of hundreds of miles were either driven away or exterminated. Unexpectedly, the Dire Clan drove this pack of wolves from far away, and they became more and more arrogant. Song Yi looked at the wolf corpses all over the ground and sighed, but this battle was a perfect victory. Without a single soldier suffering casualties, these nightmares were annihilated, and a beautiful ambush was fought. If it weren't for the first-mover advantage and waiting for work, casualties would be inevitable, after all, the strength of these Dire wolves was not weak.

Zhan Yue found a small transparent bead rolling out of the wolf corpse, and picked it up curiously.

"What is this?" Zhan Yue said curiously.

Song Yi and Cheng Lu both looked sad when they saw the bead.

"Collect all the Orbs." Song Yi gave an order, and all the soldiers were busy picking up the transparent beads next to the wolf corpse, which were found around the wolf corpse in almost every game.

"These are human spirit beads, and when the Dire devours the human soul, they condense these beads in their bodies, and they eventually bring these beads to the high-ranking Dire as rations. Every bead you see is a soul that has passed away. Cheng Lu explained.

"By the way, you must also learn this formation." Cheng Lu took Zhanyue to Song Yi's side, and saw that Song Yi was arranging the formation with Tongming Stone.

"This is the Afterlife Array, which is used to transcend these souls trapped in the human spirit beads." Cheng Lu explained, and then said to Zhan Yue very seriously: "According to the laws and regulations of various countries, anyone who obtains a human spirit bead must be exceeded on the spot, and cannot be privately hidden or used for other purposes, and once discovered, he will be punished with capital punishment. This law is in effect in the place where the human race of the Ten Thousand Souls Continent is located, and it is the first taboo, you must keep it in mind. And this afterlife formation is basically a compulsory formation for the deed. ”

The formation was very simple, and soon Song Yi completed the arrangement, only less than one square meter in size. He put all the more than 200 human spirit beads he had collected into the formation, and all the soldiers gathered over, sitting cross-legged and praying, the scene was solemn, and the needles could be heard. Each soldier had a serious look on his face, and he watched these wretched souls die with the most pious heart.

Those more than 200 human spirit beads were more than 200 human lives, which turned into white smoke under the influence of the formation, and finally dissipated in the air. At the end of the ceremony, everyone dared to speak out.

"The goddess of Tongming has never paid attention to specific government affairs, but only this decree of the past life was made by her personally, and no one can violate it. Not even the Night Lord and his men have broken the record of this decree. Cheng Lu said with emotion.

Zhan Yue's heart is also very uncomfortable, the lives of the old and young in a village dissipate like smoke, living in the place where the Tongming Pagoda shines, and the place where the Tongming Pagoda can't shine has to face such a living environment, is it fair to them?

As if seeing what Zhan Yue was thinking, Song Yi patted Zhan Yue's shoulder, "What?" Are you feeling sorry for them or are you upset? ”

"Well, I just wondered if it was possible to avoid this kind of tragedy." Zhan Yue said truthfully.

Song Yizheng said: "The so-called mercy is not in charge of the soldiers, this is not the first time I have seen this kind of scene." At a time when the Terrans were thriving, the population was overwhelmed, and the area covered by the Tongming Pagoda could not support so many people at all, and only through competition could more valuable people live. What do you think my soldiers are fighting every day for, not to accumulate military merits, to seal their wives and children, so that their families can live in a safe zone and not have to worry about it in the wild villages.

Then again, if the Terrans are withered and sparsely populated, the area where the Tower is located can indeed support so many people, but it also means that we are at an absolute disadvantage in the fight against the Dire, and all the wild areas are occupied by the Dire, is that a good thing? As long as the Dire Race is not destroyed, the Terrans will not have a peaceful life, no matter whether they rise or fall. ”

Zhan Yue smiled bitterly, "It's really prosperous, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering." "As soon as he arrived in this world, he met Mi Hongchen, got 100,000 amethyst coins, could live in the best restaurant, eat the best food, and naturally didn't know the suffering of the people at the bottom.

"Boy, no matter how Lei Zun and Sword Zun protect the Terrans, they are only protecting the overall concept of the Terrans, not you and me. The life and death of you and me are not so important to the human race, and improving your own strength is the key. I started as a small soldier and got to where I am today after nearly twenty years of brutal battles against the Dire, and nothing in this world has ever been taken for granted. Work hard to improve your realm, and don't die easily. Song Yi said earnestly, and then turned around and commanded his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and pacify the people.

Zhan Yue's brows furrowed, what did General Song mean by this?

"He's saying that Lei Zun and Sword Zun are not invincible, and they can't protect everyone, so they must have a choice. Only by proving one's worth can one be sheltered by them, otherwise you can only rely on yourself. Dire is constantly compressing the living space of the Terrans, and the number of Terrans is so large that it will inevitably eliminate many people, this is the cruel truth of this world. Didn't you ask before if such a tragedy could have been avoided, and I can tell you now - no! The only thing we can do is to try not to let such a tragedy befall ourselves and those close to us, which is why all the deed holders will spontaneously strive to cultivate. Cheng Lu said.

"Let's go, it's time for our own mission." Cheng Lu led his soldiers to the station.

Inside the inn, a black-robed man was eating meatloaf while looking at a map.

"From Yunfeng Station to Shanhe Station, if the speed is faster, it will only take one day, but they will escort so many Tongming Stones, the speed cannot be fast, so they will definitely camp in the wild for a night. They spend the night in the wilderness, they must be highly nervous and mentally exhausted, and when the sun rises the next day, they will naturally let their guard down, and that time is a good opportunity for me to make a move. I really don't know what the leader thinks, I am in the Mysterious Moon Realm, and I continue to use teleportation arrays everywhere and run thousands of miles, just to kill a third-order spirit pact. Fortunately, the Blood Spider General didn't follow them all the way, otherwise it would be really difficult to start. Each of these masters who have grown up on the battlefield should not be underestimated, and cross-level battles are commonplace. ”

Even if this person is a master of the first order of the Moon Xuan Realm, his professional habits make him very cautious, and he is unwilling to shoot easily, only seeking to kill with one blow. He had just entered the Moon Xuan Realm, and he might not be able to defeat Song Yi in the Star Xuan Realm head-on, so he still hoped that when Song Yi was far enough away from the target, he would be able to escape smoothly.
