Chapter 80, trapped in Gulan
The smell of the living in the nose of the White Rat Demon King has become stronger and stronger, he took a few steps to the back of the main hall, suddenly jumped vertically, burst into the air and burst into applause, only to hear a "bang", the door of the house where Xu Ke and the soldiers were hiding had been smashed by the White Rat Demon King's palm.
"It turned out that I was hiding here!" Seeing that there were more than a dozen humans hiding in the house, the White Rat Demon King turned around and looked at Nangong silently, and said with a smile.
"Hey, the disease-free brother is also here......" The White Rat Demon King couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Ke coming inside, and then squinted his eyes and smiled.
"Who is your brother!" Xu Ke slashed the Kunwu sword in his hand and protected the twelve soldiers behind him.
The White Rat Demon King walked up to the Demon Lord and whispered a few words, to the effect that the person in front of him was still the city lord of Xuchang City before, and he was a colleague and friend with Nangong Buyu in the early years.
The Demon Lord turned to Nangong and said silently: "Qingyi, what's going on!"
Nangong was silent, and walked quickly between Xu Ke and the Demon Lord, he bowed down to the Demon Monarch, and said earnestly: "Lord Demon Lord, this Xu Gongzi is my friend, I beg the Demon Monarch to let him go!"
"Tsing Yi!" The Demon Lord scolded angrily: "Don't forget that your current identity is a demon, you are no longer human!" He pointed to Xu Ke and the others behind Nangong and said, "All these human beings are our enemies!" ”
"This man...... He's different!I beg the Demon Monarch to spare his life for the sake of my face!" Nangong Wu begged the Demon Monarch bitterly.
"You...... Get out of the way!" the Demon Lord parted his arms, and the two wide sleeves of his robe opened like sails in the wind, and the hunt sounded. It can be seen that the strength of this demon lord is not trivial.
"All the humans here today have to die!" the Demon Lord's cold voice echoed through the hall.
"Lord Demon Lord, then don't blame your subordinates for offending!" Nangong was silent, holding his arms in his chest, his palms staggered in front of his chest, forming a confrontational posture with the Demon Lord.
"Hmph, just by you, you also want to stop Benjun?" the Demon Lord sneered, and was about to leap out of his palm and hit Nangong silently. Unexpectedly, the White Rat Demon King beside him suddenly stepped forward and stopped the Demon King.
"Demon King, let's do it slowly! Everyone is their own person, don't hurt the harmony!" said the White Rat Demon King with a smile.
"You ......" the Demon Lord was puzzled.
The White Rat Demon King turned his head and motioned for the Demon Lord to look behind him, and the Demon Lord looked around and couldn't help but gasp. I saw that the hundreds of demons who were only sitting in the main hall before had all stood up and quietly gathered around.
Those tall demons with pale skin, black hair, and bodies, who were neither human nor beasts, seemed to sense the summoning of the Tsing Yi Demon King at this moment, and rushed to the Demon Lord's surroundings in an instant and silently, and each of them glared angrily at the Demon Lord. It seems that as long as the Tsing Yi Demon King gives an order, this large number of demons will rush forward angrily and tear apart the demon lord and the white rat......
"Tsing Yi, you're going to rebel......! You're so bold!" the Demon Lord stretched out his hand and pointed at Nangong's silent nose and scolded angrily. At this moment, the face with the mask was trembling slightly, although he couldn't see his face, but he also knew that he was furious at this time.
"Please calm the Demon Lord's anger! My subordinates don't mean anything else, just beg the Demon Lord to let my friend go!" Nangong replied lightly without saying a word.
The Demon Lord looked at the more and more demons gathered around him, he knew that this demon army was usually just listening to Tsing Yi's command, if he really annoyed Tsing Yi, once these demons were in trouble, even if his demon skills were high, he would definitely not be able to please him. Seeing that there was nothing to be done today, the Demon Lord had no choice but to sigh, turned around and separated a few demons, and strode towards the corridor outside the main hall. The White Rat Demon King immediately followed closely and followed quickly......
"Tsing Yi, if you betray Benjun, you will betray the Demon Venerable! You wait for me! This account, Benjun will ......settle this account with you sooner or later" The Demon Monarch had already rushed to Yongdao, and his high-pitched voice still came.
"Lord Demon Lord, Tsing Yi didn't mean to betray you!" Nangong hurriedly walked forward without saying a word, and shouted loudly towards the Yongdao.
"Don't talk nonsense!Tsing Yi, as a demon, you dare to collude with humans today and try to plot against the Demon Lord, aren't you betrayed?......" The hoarse and old voice of the White Rat Demon King came again, and at this time, they were already far away from the cave.
"Ahem......" Nangong sighed heavily, he knew that today's misunderstanding could not be justified no matter what.
However, in this critical situation at that time, he really couldn't find any other way to save Xu Ke from the poisonous hands of the Demon Lord.
Nangong turned around silently and said a few words to the demons around him, and those demons scattered one after another, returning to their old positions to lie down and rest.
"Brother Xu Xian, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you should hurry up and follow me!" Nangong said to Xu Ke without saying a word, and then led them to the outside of the road.
Xu Ke was originally hiding in the hut, and he had heard the conversation between Nangong and the Demon Lord clearly, and it was really difficult for him to tell whether the former friend in front of him was good or bad, whether he was a human or a demon. At this time, he saw that Nangong did not hesitate to offend the Demon Lord in order to save himself, and since then he has been charged with a "traitor", Xu Ke suddenly felt a sense of trust and closeness in his heart. He only felt that the Nangong in front of him had become one with the Tsing Yi Wei Qianhu who treated him like a brother ten years ago.
At that moment, Xu Ke didn't say a word, and made a gesture to the soldiers behind him, and everyone followed Nangong silently and rushed out of the corridor.
Nangong was silent, and led Xu Ke and the soldiers into a hole on the right side of the mountain pass. The path inside the cave is also very complicated, and every few dozen steps, there will be a fork. Nangong led everyone all the way to the left and around, walking for nearly half an hour, and finally, Xu Ke's eyes lit up slightly, and everyone had walked to the outside of the cave.
At this time, the sun had slowly risen from the east side of the mountain, and although the sky was obscured by thick clouds, it was finally able to show a glimmer of light. With that dim light of the sky, Xu Ke turned around and saw that the huge Bashan Demon Cave was already on the other side of the mountain. At this time, the place where he stood was already close to the foot of Bashan Mountain......
"Brother Xu Xian, from here to the southeast, forty miles will be Chang'an, you go quickly! From now on, don't let me see you again......" Nangong waved his hand in the direction of Chang'an, said gloomily, turned around and left.
"Brother Nangong!" Xu Ke hurriedly grabbed Nangong's arm and said earnestly: "You have offended the Demon Lord today, and from now on, Brother Nangong's life in the Demon Clan may not be able to continue...... It's better for Brother Nangong to follow me back to Chang'an!"
"Come back to Chang'an with you?hahaha! Ridiculous!" Nangong smiled bitterly: "I have fallen into the devil's way, and I will never be able to change back into a human being again! Follow you back to Chang'an, do you think there is still a place for me?"
"As long as Brother Nangong is willing, Xu will definitely plead with the emperor to ask him to agree and leave you behind!" Xu Ke said sincerely.
Nangong glanced at Xu Ke coldly, then looked at the twelve soldiers behind him, and said lightly: "Li Xi, do you think he is a good person...... You can't protect yourself, so don't worry about my business! Brother Fool has at least one demon army in his hands, don't worry, I can't die!"
After that, Nangong didn't say anything more, turned around and entered the cave.
Xu Ke looked at the cave and wanted to persuade him again. Zheng Kai, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward and reminded: "General, let's go back quickly! This place is dangerous, no matter what, let's go back to Chang'an first!"
Xu Ke nodded, and everyone stopped talking and strode towards the southeast.
Xu Ke pondered all the way, and he led a team of 1,000 people to kill Bashan in a mighty way, intending to wipe out all the monsters in Bashan's magic nest. Unexpectedly, in just one day, 900 people were demonized, more than 80 people were torn to pieces, and only the twelve soldiers in front of him followed him back to the city. This attack on Bashan was undoubtedly a great defeat. If you return to Chang'an and meet the emperor in person, how should you play it right?
However, then again, with the strength of the demon legion in the Demon Lair of Bashan, even if he brought a few more thousand guards today, he would still be "sheep in the tiger's mouth and never return", and moreover, he would send more well-trained "demonized people" to the other party. He didn't understand, did such a so-called attack on Bashan really make sense?
He never thought that the person in charge of guarding the Bashan Demon Cave was his former friend and life-saving benefactor Nangong Bushu. He and Nangong hurriedly met, and before they could talk in detail, they didn't know how Nangong fell from a good person to the devil. However, he is still sure that although Nangong Buyu has become the "Demon King of Tsing Yi", Nangong is still Nangong, he is still conscience, and he still retains that kindness and integrity in his heart. He heard what Nangong Shicai said, "Don't let me see you again in the future...... He knew that Nangong must be in a dilemma, in fact, in addition to Nangong, he himself was not in a dilemma?
In any case, the twelve subordinates beside him, he must think of a way to bring them back to Chang'an. He was in the cave and had promised them that he would fulfill this promise. If even these twelve soldiers can't be saved, the thousand-man guard he brought with him will really be "annihilated".
......
Xu Ke kept thinking about it, and only then did he take more than two hundred steps in the southeast direction, and suddenly heard a hoarse strange laugh in the air:
"Disease-free brother, what's the matter, you just came to Bashan, and you're going back?"
The soldiers looked back, and they were even more frightened, and there was already a man wearing a mask with blue fangs, who was none other than the Demon Lord.
Xu Ke knew that the two of them were not ordinary martial arts people, although he had a famous sword in his hand that cut gold and cut iron, but at most he could only escape alone, and it was very difficult to keep the guards beside him.
Xu Ke looked sideways and saw that more than 100 steps away in front of the left, there was a tall mound. His mind was racing, and he knew that in the face of a strong enemy at this time, he was bound to occupy a favorable terrain first. He immediately shouted, "Go, rush up to the mound first!" With a wave of his long sword in his right hand, he opened the way first, leading everyone to stride to the left.
The White Rat Demon King looked at the soldiers following Xu Ke closely, running to the left and fleeing, but he sneered in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to catch up.
Xu Ke ran less than ten steps to the left before he saw three long-horned red-haired monsters rushing towards him. The fur around the horned monsters was blood-red, just like the horned red-haired monsters he had encountered earlier in Sanssouci Valley. Come to think of it, these long-horned red-haired monsters must have been trained by special personnel and are already "magic soldiers" under the white mouse.
Xu Ke didn't dare to slack off, and immediately shouted "Break the gold potential!" Kunwu Sword stabbed straight towards the monster with a gust of wind. The three-headed long-horned red-haired monster seemed to sense the fierceness of Xu Ke's sword qi, and each jumped to the side, avoiding this sword move. Xu Ke didn't want to fight, and hurriedly waved his hand behind him and shouted, "You guys hurry up!"
Xu Ke was about to rush to the mound, but was shocked to see a large area of "blood red" rushing in front of him. By this time, at least fifty horned red-haired monsters had surrounded them.
Xu Ke looked behind him again, and saw that there were dozens of horned red-haired monsters approaching them. Standing behind this large area of monsters are none other than the White Rat Demon King and the Demon King. It seems that this large number of long-horned red-haired monsters must be a team of demon soldiers brought by the White Rat Demon King.
At this time, he and the twelve soldiers beside him were all surrounded by hundreds of long-horned red-haired monsters. Xu Ke couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, those long-horned monsters were violent and ferocious, and it was already difficult to deal with a single wild monster, not to mention, at this time, he had to face a hundred well-trained demon soldiers......
"I said, no sick brother! For the sake of you and I being old friends in the past, I will ask the Demon Lord for a favor, as long as you put down your weapons and surrender to us, our Demon Lord loves talents, maybe, we can also seal you as a Demon King! Hahaha......" The White Rat Demon King stood behind the demon soldiers, he wrapped his hands around him, and smiled leisurely.
"White rat monster, don't you think!" Xu Ke's long sword swung forward diagonally, and another sharp move "Breaking the water potential!" was struck. This move was as fast as wind and thunder, and a long-horned monster in front of him leaped late
Some, with a "whoosh", was hit by a sword in the front leg, and then fell down with an injury. However, those horned monsters were all well-trained demon soldiers after all, and one was injured, and the rest did not retreat but advanced, and gathered even more frantically. The giant mouths of those monsters opened wide, revealing a row of Sensen fangs inside, which frightened the guards behind Xu Ke with trembling legs, and the swords in their hands almost fell......
"Oh! Disease-free little brother, I wanted to leave you a way to live, but unfortunately, you disappointed me too much! At this time, I still want to resist to the end! You want to die yourself, but don't blame me for not being merciful!" The White Rat Demon King looked up to the sky and sighed, revealing a look of pity, and then waved his right hand, and a string of "magic words" came out of his mouth. It seems to tell those red-haired demon soldiers that they don't have to leave a living mouth, just use these humans as rations!
Under the siege of these hundred red-haired demon soldiers, no matter how powerful Xu Ke's sword moves are, he is bound to be invincible. At this moment, for Xu Ke, when he really reached the end of the mountain, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Doesn't God bless me, will it really make me die here!"
"General, the rescuers are coming!" Zheng Kai, who was beside Xu Ke, suddenly pointed behind the demon soldier and shouted in surprise.
I saw that after a large number of demon soldiers, it was still a neat formation just now, and at this time there was a sudden commotion. There were two shining flying swords, and just as they came in the air, where the flying swords went, the monsters on the ground suddenly turned into a blur of flesh and blood. Those red-haired monsters seemed to be extremely afraid of these two flying swords, and they all dodged to both sides when they saw this......
"Yiqing, why are you here?!" Xu Ke said happily.
In this desperate situation, when Yiqing came to the rescue, how could he not be overjoyed. However, when he thought of the dangerous situation here, he couldn't help but be unusually worried.
"Silly wood, what are you still doing in a daze! Hurry up and get on that mountain bag!" Yi Qingjiao snorted, she answered in front of her, but her hands were waving again and again, and the two flying swords flew up and down, forcing the large red-haired monsters to flee one after another.
"Let's go, you follow her quickly!" Xu Ke hurriedly ordered the soldiers behind him, and he himself swung his sword and broke back.
The White Rat Demon King and the Demon Lord were originally in a good time, just waiting to watch a good show of Warcraft tearing people. At this moment, he suddenly saw a master suddenly killed in front of him, and he was still a woman with a flying sword, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and then rushed towards Xu Ke......
It's just that the two of them are far apart, and in front of them are blocked by a large group of long-horned monsters that are fleeing in all directions. So, I had to watch Xu Ke and the twelve soldiers, led by Yiqing, and all fled to a mountain bag.
The mountain bag that Yiqing said in his mouth was the mound that Xu Ke saw, which was a small hill about 20 zhang high and 5 zhang away. The top of the hill was very flat, just enough to accommodate a dozen of them. The hill is surrounded by stone walls on all sides, and it is condescending from the top of the mountain, which is enough to hold on to the danger.
The White Rat Demon King shouted loudly, and a hundred demon soldiers under his command surrounded the small hill layer by layer. However, the three sides of the hill are steep stone walls, which are extremely difficult to climb, and only the south side is a slope, and Xu Ke and others are the hill that goes up from the south.
When the White Rat Demon King received the Demon Lord's command, he shouted a few words of magic in his mouth, and immediately ten long-horned red-haired monsters rushed up the hill from the southern slope. But the slope was very narrow, and the long-horned red-haired monsters were too stout to walk side by side, so they had to form a long snake formation and slowly climb up. However, when the ten long-horned red-haired monsters had reached the top of the mountain, they were either cleaved down by Xu Ke's sword qi or cut by the flying sword in the air, and four long-horned monsters were killed instantly. When the other six long-horned monsters saw that the situation was not right, they immediately fled with rolling and crawling, and when they could escape back to their positions at the bottom of the mountain, they were already covered with multiple sword wounds, and blood was gushing out.
The White Rat Demon King was at the foot of the hill, and saw Xu Ke commanding the soldiers from afar, dragging the corpses of the four long-horned red-haired monsters back to the top of the mountain. After a little thought, he knew that Xu Ke was going to release the blood of those horned monsters for drinking, and cut off the flesh and gallbladder on their bodies for consumption, including their fur to keep out the wind and cold. When the White Rat Demon King thought of this, he couldn't help but be so angry that the long snow-white hair under his chin trembled in the wind. He said in his heart, you Xu Ke, you dare to use the demon soldier I have trained with great difficulty as food for your stomach!
The White Rat Demon King couldn't help but regret his rash move just now. However, he thought about it, even if you Xu Ke have the corpses of four long-horned monsters, it won't last long. I'm just going to have to trap you on the top of the mountain and see how long you can survive?
The Demon Lord was quite dissatisfied when he saw the Demon King's subordinates who were unfavorable for the first time. He urged the white rat to order his men to sprint again, and the two of them followed behind, this time, they must wipe out everyone on the top of the mountain.
The White Rat Demon King waved his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Demon Lord, I can't see that this Xu Ke still has some ability at a young age, and he has found such an excellent defensive place in a short period of time! That mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we don't have to take risks, we just need to trap those humans on the top of the mountain." They have no water, no food, and after a long time, they will come down without us going up......"
The Demon Lord also felt justified when he heard it. He had just seen the swordsmanship of Xu Ke and Yiqing, and knew that these two were masters in swordsmanship, especially Yiqing, who could even make two long swords fly in the air, this kind of volley sword technique was really difficult to deal with. If they rashly attack the hill, the risk is too great. It's better to wait under the mountain and see how long they can hold on. At that moment, the Demon Lord nodded in agreement.
The White Rat Demon King then "grunted" and gave a loud command to his demon soldiers. The long-horned red-haired monsters were all lined up in a tight formation, surrounding the hill layer by layer.
It seems that the demon soldiers under the mountain will not be able to attack the top of the hill in a short time, and the people at the top of the hill will be very difficult if they want to break out of the encirclement under the mountain.
The White Rat Demon King is right, this confrontation between humans and demons, it's time to fight here.
If the time is long, not only will there be no water and no food on the hill, but at night, it will be even more cold to the bone, and this severe cold alone may not be able to make them get through.
If there is no other rescue, I am afraid that the people on the mountain will die in the end......
