Chapter XXIII

"Escorting repeat offenders, the journey will not be peaceful, you need to seize the opportunity to arrive in the imperial capital as soon as possible. Shen Fei originally wanted to tell Wang Lin the speculation that the deep-sea beast was very likely to be controlled by the Tongtian Sect, but after thinking about it carefully, he gave up, after all, the soldiers knew about this and would blame themselves for the disaster they had suffered, and it would not do them any good;

"What Shen Daozun said is very true, Wang ordered his subordinates to prepare grain and grass to support you to reach your destination smoothly. ”

"There's General Lao. ”

"It's just a matter of duty. ”

"By the way, General, how are the two prisoners who were escorted with the army now?

"Wang has not understood the specific situation, but Wang's house is heavily guarded by well-trained soldiers, just like an iron wall, Daozun, you can rest assured. ”

"You still can't be careless, those two are not ordinary people, and it's not easy to deal with. ”

"Don't worry, Shen Daozun, if there is any change, Wang will definitely tell you as soon as possible. ”

"There's General Law. ”

The two of them, accompanied by a group of soldiers, walked towards the general's palace, and after this incident, it was noon, and it was time for lunch.

The exquisite dishes in the dining room have already been prepared, the emperor tried his best to win over the army, and the treatment of the army was naturally better than ever, the soldiers' food, clothing, housing and transportation were far higher than ordinary people, and the general was the commander of the soldiers, and his treatment was naturally better. A table full of food, no worse than the luxurious dinner set by Ling Fox Hanging Boat in Jinling City, Shen Fei and Wang Lin came to the table side by side, Wang Lin summoned the sergeant standing at the table, and said, "Your Highness Lie, send someone to invite His Highness Lie to come over for dinner." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Come on, come on, two Daozun and Miss Shen, please take a seat, please take a seat. Wang Lin greeted warmly, and he did his best to be a landlord.

Shen Fei, Chu Xie, and Nalan Ruoxue sat down one after another, Chu Xie experienced a battle with the Kraken, and the excitement had not yet passed, his eyes lit up, like a cheetah that had been starving for a long time looking around for food, it was very scary, and the officers and soldiers who were swept by his gaze lowered their heads one after another.

Nalan Ruoxue has been very bored since just now, after all, Shen Fei has been staying with Wang Lin, completely ignoring her, although there are some small emotions, but he also knows the proportion, and will not vent it directly, sitting next to Chu Xie, opposite the seat of Shen Fei and Wang Lin, Chu Xie is too lazy to join in the fun with them, but Nalan Ruoxue knows that he wants to give His Royal Highness the prince a place to make room.

In a few moments, Tuoba Lie walked in under the guidance of the soldiers. He was dressed in a military uniform, handsome and extraordinary, and the cloak that mopped the floor was thrown back with the wind brought by the advance, adding a bit of heroic spirit. It was still far away, so he smiled and bowed his hand to Shen Fei and Wang Lin: "Oh, let the two Aiqing wait for a long time." "Looking at his appearance, he should have figured it out, and he was no longer distracted by the unhappiness of the morning.

"Where, it's early for us, hahaha. ”

"Hahahaha. ”

After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Wang led her two silly sons to come together, and the dinner officially began.

Wang Lin poured wine for Tuoba Lie: "Your Highness, I don't want to disturb you, our small Nantong City was almost submerged by a big wave last night." ”

"Did you really feel a violent tremor before, was it a storm on the sea?" asked Tuoba Lie with interest.

"The so-called no wind and no waves, said that the evil gate, the sea level suddenly swept up a monstrous wave that connected the sky to the ground, and the hungry tiger pounced on the food and generally poured towards our Nantong City, if it were not for the presence of the two Dao Zun, our Nantong City might be swallowed up by the waves. After finishing speaking, Wang Lin got up and picked up his wine glass, "Shen Daozun, Chu Daozun, and Wang, on behalf of all the soldiers defending the city in Nantong City, thank you two living immortals, thank you two for saving your life." "Let's do it first, pour the glass to show that the bottom of the glass is clean.

Chu Xie was expressionless, eating food by himself, and Shen Fei also picked up his wine glass and saluted: "There are eggs under the nest, and it is the duty of the general to protect the safety of Nantong." "As soon as you raise your neck, you can also drink it all.

Wang Lin refilled the empty wine glass in his hand, and saluted His Royal Highness: "Your Highness, Wang Mou also wants to toast you with a glass of wine, thank you for leading the two Daozun to Nantong and saving the lives of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Nantong City." ”

"General Wang, you are serious, just as Shen Daozun said, it is an unshirkable duty to protect the safety of Nantong, and there is nothing to thank you for. Tuoba Lie also picked up the wine glass and drank all the wine in the cup, "General Wang, what is going on, can you tell this king." ”

"Hey, speaking of this matter, it is really evil enough, Wang, Shen Daozun, and Chu Daozun were watching the training ground in the process of training, and suddenly received a notice from the soldiers, saying that a huge wave was set off where the sea and the sky met, and the sky was connected to the ground, and it was quickly approaching Nantong. Nantong City since ancient times calm waves, even if the occasional typhoon landfalls, the wind and waves will be blocked by the embankment, it is difficult to reach the city side, today's wind and waves are very unusual, even the sky and the ground, the height is more than ten zhang, it seems to be able to swallow everything up.

Fortunately, Chu Daozun was present, and he used his mysterious Dao technique to summon a meteorite volley to suppress the wave. It was only after the wave was suppressed that Wang found out that the wave was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, which was set off by a huge fish demon and intended to harm the people of Nantong City. ”

"Fish demon, is there such a thing?" Tuoba Lie and Shen Fei glanced at each other, confirmed the guess in their hearts from his gaze, and said secretly: Shen Daozun is really like a god, the forces behind Linghu Hanging Boat will really not let Ling Fox Hanging Boat go, and will launch an offensive on the way to escort it.

secretly called luck, and said in his heart: Fortunately, he didn't have a stalemate with Shen Daozun because of a trivial matter, and without his help, the royal family had no chance of winning the battle for succession.

But he heard Wang Lin continue: "The waves receded, but the fish demon did not plan to retreat, in a vain attempt to continue to make waves and encroach on the safety of the people in the city. The two Daozun have the grace of rebuilding all the soldiers and family members in Nantong City, and Wang Mou toasts the two of them again. ”

"Hmph, the demon beast was defeated by my Chu Evil, and he has a Mao relationship with him Shen Fei, why should you toast the two of us. Unexpectedly, Chu Xie suddenly spoke, and he was mercilessly picky.

Shen Fei saw Wang Lin's face stiffen, smiled awkwardly, picked up his wine glass and said, "General Wang, the virtuous brother is not sensible, don't worry about him, Shen took him to make amends to you." ”

"Hahaha, where is it, Chu Daozun saved Nantong in danger, Wang only has gratitude, how can he account for it. Seeing Shen Fei drink all the wine in the cup, Wang Lin tilted his neck and also dried the wine.

Chu Xie still didn't give face, and snorted coldly, probably because the demon beast escaped from him, and he was in a bad mood.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Shen Fei said: "Your Highness, I have communicated with General Wang, we will set off on time tomorrow morning, and General Wang will prepare enough grain and grass for us before this for the road." ”

This is also the meaning of this king, it is best to start the road as soon as possible after the trimming, so as not to cause extraneous branches. ”

"That's true. ”

"Come on, let's have this toast. The three of them raised their wine glasses at the same time, and were about to finish the wine in the glass, but the ground under their feet suddenly trembled violently, Wang Lin and Tuoba Lie immediately fell, and the wine in the cup was spilled, only Shen Fei did not move, frowned and stared, and listened with his ears.

Wang Lin and Tuoba Lie saw Shen Fei's immobility like a mountain in their eyes, and they both felt admiration, and called out to the soldiers: "What's going on outside, is there an earthquake!"

"Oh no, no, General, the Kraken is back. The soldiers in the vicinity, like them, did not know exactly what had happened until the soldiers of the city returned and reported it.

Before the words fell, Chu Xie had already swept out of the house like a gust of wind.

Wang Lin said: "It's back again, this bold demon beast is really endless, and it's extremely annoying." ”

"The demon beast must have its purpose when it goes and returns, let's go, Your Highness, General, let's go to the city and have a look. ”

"Let's go to the city. ”

Re-ascending the city tower, I saw Chu Xie and the kraken fighting, different from the previous time, the kraken who went and returned seemed to be ready to fight hard, and the huge body covered by hard scale armor surfaced, like a small island floating on the water, the mouth was open, and the black hole in the throat was endless, and the sharp teeth were jagged and intertwined irregularly.

The last time we met, its tail was washed down, and the whole picture could not be seen, but at this moment, the body is basically flat, and the outline is visible. I saw that its head was huge, its round eyes were protruding, its sharp teeth were intertwined, and its spine was covered with mountain-like undulating fins, sharp and hard, and its tail was slightly smaller than its head, setting off huge waves when it swayed from side to side.

From a distance, it was simply a monster with a big head and a small body.

Chu Xie stood on top of its head, its fine red upper body was slapped by the seawater, its muscles were clearly outlined, its lines were resolute, its shoulders were broad, and it was an absolute first-class figure. He held the heavy sword in both hands and slashed wildly on the Kraken scale armor, but unfortunately the opponent's body was as hard as iron, and it was not at all something that the heavy sword in his hand could slash.

"It's hard. Chu Xie probably had never cut such a hard object in his life, and he plunged down with a sword in both hands, ready to penetrate the body of the kraken by stabbing like last time, but unfortunately the other party would not sit still, the fishtail slapped, and the huge body swept out of the water, leaving a beautiful arc in mid-air, and turned back, fortunately Chu Xie left one step ahead, otherwise he would definitely be pressed under it and crushed by the double crushing of the water waves and the heavy fish body.

"The Kraken looks bulky, but it's actually very flexible. Shen Fei looked at the place where the coastal city wall collapsed, and vaguely guessed that it was caused by the Kraken's struggle. It seems that the bulky fish can develop incredible strength and speed when interacting with the water, this kraken has a short but powerful tail, and with the help of the reaction force of slapping the water, it can leap out of the water and reach a height of eleven or twelve feet.

Chu Xie continued to eat deflated on it, the belligerent factor continued to expand, his feet stepped on the fairy sword, his right hand pointed to the sky, and the huge meteorite flew through the clouds, "Don't think that hiding in the water, Lao Tzu can't help you." "Meteorites are coming one after another, and it looks like Chu Xie is going to use all his strength this time.

Everyone only saw that under the afternoon sun, the thick clouds were torn apart by more dazzling light, and six meteorite holes in a row pierced through the clouds and fell towards the water under the illumination of the pillars of light.

The sound ......of the fierce wind was like thunder, and the sergeants suddenly felt their mouths dry, and the pressure came from the top of their heads, and they felt that what appeared in front of them was the scene of the end of the world.

"Even the sea water has evaporated and dried up, see how you run. ”

Chu Xie was completely excited, not caring about the possible consequences of doing so. Shen Fei saw the problem, and shouted loudly with his immortal power: "All the guards in the city listened, and they all squatted down, squatted down for me, and protected my head with a shield." Before he could finish speaking, the sound of the impact was heard, completely overpowering his voice, and as he approached, the hot sea rushed in with an unstoppable sound, engulfing the soldiers of the city.

......

Although water is liquid, when the acceleration is large enough, it can also be turned into an invisible weapon that kills people, and can even penetrate rocks, from which the so-called "water drop stone piercing" comes from.

Aware of the danger, Shen Fei decisively gave an order to the sergeants, but fortunately, they were all well-trained and reacted in a very short period of time, shielding their heads. "Ping Pong, Ping Pong, Ping Pong ......" There was a series of crashing sounds on the shield, as if thousands of arrows fell at the same time, colliding with the shield, the sergeants with the shield closed their eyes, and tried to hold the shield with both hands, even if their arms were hit numb, they did not dare to let go at all, until the impact stopped, they showed their heads, looked around in horror, and found that the shield made of pure iron became pitted. The bumps were uneven, and then he looked at Shen Fei, looked at the life-saving benefactor at the last moment, and saw that he and Tuoba Lie and General Wang who were standing on his left and right, all of them were in good shape, not a drop of water was splashed on their bodies, and the corners of their clothes were not soaked at all, and they sincerely admired: "It is really a god and a man." Facing Shen Fei, who was standing with his hands in his hands and the wind was calm, everyone had only this one thought in their hearts.

Above the water, there was a mess, the tidal flats were dense, and a large amount of gray-black smoke rose into the air in a zigzag way, reaching the clouds. The sea water has been shot up or evaporated, and large areas of the coast are exposed, corals and reefs are clearly visible, and puddles are scattered in patches. The six huge circular deep pits showed the fierceness of the impact, Chu Xie stood outside one of the pits, and the deep-sea beast that had once made him helpless was stranded in the pits, and under such a violent impact, it still did not have many scars on its body, but it was forced to run aground without the water-covered environment.

The eyes are pure black and the same color, losing the brilliance of the living, the fishtail slaps the ground from time to time, but it is unable to support the heavy body, after all, the king of the sea is only suitable for the environment of the deep sea, once it comes to the land, its heavy and hard body will become a burden, and even the simplest movement can not be done. Chu Xie lost interest when he saw that the former king had been reduced to the point of being a mermaid, pursed his lips, and turned to leave: "After all, there is only this bit of strength, it's so boring." "Turn around and want to leave.
