Chapter 4: Return to the barracks

In the middle of the night, the dew on the grassland was thick, and the sound of the beasts devouring the corpses around them added infinite terror to the night. In the southeast of the battlefield, Zhou Tianci was still in a bloody battle with more than 20 short-tailed hyenas.

Zhou Tianci, who lost his weapon, was a little more brave and more lethal. At the same time, there were more wounds on Zhou Tianci's body, and there was blood everywhere on his legs, arms, chest, and back.

"It's a life-and-death struggle, it's really dangerous. If it weren't for this heavy armor, I'd probably fall under the claws of the hyena. Zhou Tianci's mind was spinning, and he tried his best to avoid the fatal place, and at the same time killed and injured his opponent fiercely. In just three minutes, already 7,8 hyenas fell in front of him.

"I don't know if this devouring is good or bad for me, but at least I don't have any other choice right now!"

Zhou Tianci felt the energy coming from the hyena, and his spirit became more and more excited. With this ability, Zhou Tianci not only did not exhaust himself in the fight, but continued to increase his combat effectiveness. And as he became more familiar with this body, and at the same time fused the residual memories and combat experience of the body, Zhou Tianci's moves became more and more lethal.

The short-tailed hyena was still pounced on Zhou Tianci, and Zhou Tianci had come to the battlefield hundreds of meters away. At this moment, the number of bob-tailed hyenas around him increased by a dozen, and these were coming from other directions.

Looking at these hyenas, Zhou Tianci didn't have the worries he had before, and he now regarded these hyenas as his tonic.

The injuries on Zhou Tianci's body were slowly recovering under the nourishment of the devoured energy, his strength was also increasing, and his cultivation was also improving at a visible speed.

"I didn't expect to have such a murderous mood in my heart. Zhou Tianci twisted off the head of the hyena that rushed up and muttered to himself, he could clearly feel that the "Blood Battle Technique" and the devouring ability had increased his killing intent, but in fact, the hidden emotions in his heart were the root of this monstrous killing intent.

After the killing mood was amplified, Zhou Tianci had no intention of escaping, and all his actions were to kill these short-tailed hyenas in front of him. When the clouds in the sky dispersed and the starlight sprinkled all over the grassland again, more than thirty hyenas surrounding Zhou Tianci had all fallen, and the originally fresh and wild beasts had become dried corpses at this time.

Zhou Tianci looked back at the battlefield more than a thousand meters away, where countless beasts were still enjoying a feast, and he had an urge to turn back. After a while, Zhou Tianci finally took a step forward and headed towards the southeast.

Zhou Tianci ran for more than three hours, walked about 100 miles, and came to a sparse forest. He found a stout tree and climbed it, closed his eyes and began to rest.

"It was an unbelievable night. Early in the morning, Zhou Tianci jumped from a tree more than 10 meters high, and it was extremely easy. He still bears the traces of yesterday's bloody battle. The black heavy armor was taken off by him, and Zhou Tianci looked extremely embarrassed, because the blue clothes on his body were in tatters.

Zhou Tianci stretched, he stroked the torn place of his clothes, and his face could not hide his shock. Those places were all his wounds, but after one night, all the wounds were gone, and not even a single scar was left.

"Is this the cultivator's ability, or is it the effect of the devouring ability?" Zhou Tianci guessed in his heart.

......

Weeping Blood City is one of the most important passes of the Great Yu Kingdom, and it is tasked with guarding against the Grassland Empire. At the same time, it is the most developed city in Dayu country.

The northwest of Weeping Blood City is an endless prairie, and the south is a barren forest, under the construction of the Dayu State, it has become the center of the grassland people, the forest tribe and the Dayu State trade, and the business is very developed.

Such an important town, Dayu State, naturally attaches great importance to it, and 200,000 troops have been deployed here, including many elites like the Blood War Legion. It is precisely because of their existence that the business environment of Weeping Blood City can be so stable.

"Only in the cultivation world can such a city exist. At dusk, Zhou Tianci came to the Weeping Blood City according to the memory of his predecessor, standing outside the city, he looked at the more than 50-meter-high city wall, and the pedestrians coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh.

According to common sense, a city like this kind of border gate cannot develop commerce at all, because it will greatly threaten the security of the city, but on the contrary, the commerce of Weeping Blood City is extremely developed, even surpassing the central city of Dayu Kingdom.

The city is 58 meters high and 30 kilometers long, and in addition to the 200,000 troops, there are nearly a million people living here.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhou Tianci was about to enter the city, when a voice came from far and near, and he subconsciously stepped aside. Not only him, but everyone stood to the side, and half a minute later, more than twenty cavalry roared past. After the cavalry, everyone returned to their previous movements.

"Blood Tiger Cavalry, Liu Yuntao's personal guard...... In such a hurry, could it be that something big has happened?" Zhou Tianci looked at those cavalrymen and thought for a moment.

In this cultivation world, cavalry is also a very important type of troops. The cavalry is powerful not only because of the knights' cultivation, but also because of their mounts. War horses are the most common mounts of cavalry, really powerful cavalry, their mounts are fierce beasts, such as the blood tiger cavalry in front of them, their mount is the blood tiger beast with the blood of the demon beast, this blood tiger beast combat power can reach the acquired limit, and the speed is much faster than the war horse.

Of course, the cost of raising blood tigers is also very high, not to mention the difficulty of domestication, and there is no rich family background to support blood tigers. Therefore, although the Blood Tiger Cavalry is powerful, its number is extremely small, even if it is the entire Dayu Kingdom, the number is not more than 10,000.

Watching the Blood Tiger Cavalry leave, Zhou Tianci didn't think much about it, those were not what he had to think about now.

......

In the center of Weeping Blood City, it is a general's mansion covering an area of 500 acres.

"Open the door quickly, I have something important to tell the general!" When the Blood Tiger Cavalry approached the General's Mansion, they all restrained their mounts, and Zhang Kai, the cavalry captain led by him, shouted loudly.

The guards of the General's Mansion obviously knew Zhang Kai, and when they heard his words, they waved their hands, and the eight sergeants on both sides pushed open the door. Zhang Kai handed over the blood tiger to the person next to him, and strode into the general's mansion by himself.

Zhang Kai is the peak cultivation of the day after tomorrow, his steps are extremely fast, and he arrived at the meeting hall of the General's Mansion in a moment. At this time, Liu Yuntao, the general of the Great Yu State Expedition to the West, was sitting alone in the hall.

"General, my subordinates are back. Zhang Kai knelt down on one knee outside the hall and said in a low voice.

"Come in and say. Liu Yuntao said lightly.

Zhang Kai lowered his head and carefully stepped into the conference hall. The conference hall is very large, 500 square meters, and there are more than 40 chairs on the east and west sides, but there is only one at the top, and Liu Yuntao is sitting there.

The furnishings in the conference hall are very simple, and there is no luxury at all, but everyone who steps into this place can't help but be nervous, and there is a heavy momentum in the seemingly ordinary hall.

Zhang Kai walked up to Liu Yuntao unhurriedly and knelt down: "General, my subordinates have found out that the Blood War Legion encountered the elite of the Golden Wolf Empire in the east of Cangyun Ridge yesterday, and the whole army was wiped out, but fortunately, the banner of the Legion was burned by General Mo and did not fall into the hands of the Golden Wolf Empire." ”

Liu Yuntao listened, and his face flashed with anger.

"Have you seen clearly, are you sure there is not a single survivor?" asked Liu Yuntao.

Zhang Kai hesitated for a moment: "General, when the subordinates and others arrived, the corpses of the generals had been destroyed by the grassland beasts, and the subordinates were only judged by the battle armor. Judging from the scene, including General Mo Yunjie, the Blood War Legion probably has no survivors. ”

After a while, Liu Yuntao snorted coldly: "Immediately send someone to collect the corpses of the soldiers of the Blood War Legion, regardless of whether the corpses are intact or not, bring them back, even if it is weapons and armor...... In addition, to thoroughly investigate the ambush in the Blood War Legion, I don't believe that with Mo Yunjie's ability, he will be easily ambushed by the Golden Wolf Empire!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Kai left, Liu Yuntao got up slowly, he looked outside, his face was solemn, and he looked preoccupied.

......

"As far as I can remember, this should be the place. After walking for more than an hour, Zhou Tianci came to the military camp located in the east of Weeping Blood City.

Returning to the barracks was not Zhou Tianci's own will. He came to this world unexpectedly and possessed his current body, and he should have experienced the wonders of the cultivation world instead of returning to the military camp that was controlled by people.

However, Zhou Tianci had no choice.

Whether he wanted it or not, Zhou Tianci inherited everything from his original body, including his identity as a soldier of the Great Yu Kingdom. If he leaves, once he is discovered, he will be regarded as a deserter, and the punishment of deserters in the Great Yu Kingdom is very severe.

What worries Zhou Tianci even more is that there are many powerful cultivators in the Great Yu Kingdom, and just in the Weeping Blood City, there are no less than the number of innate powerhouses. Once he is wanted by Da Yu Guo, with Zhou Tianci's cultivation in the middle of the day after tomorrow, he will definitely be a dead end.

In addition, although the discipline in the army is strict, there are also many benefits, such as the cultivation exercises that Zhou Tianci urgently needs now, as well as his understanding of this world. At the same time, Zhou Tianci also wanted to figure out why he was able to devour the short-tailed hyena.

"Stop, the barracks are heavy, leave immediately, otherwise there will be no mercy!" a guard's voice interrupted Zhou Tianci's footsteps.

Zhou Tianci stepped forward steadily and arched his hand: "Please inform, Zhou Shi, the leader of the fifth squad of the first squadron of the third brigade of the Blood Battle Legion, has returned." ”

Zhou Shi is the original owner of Zhou Tianci's body.

The guard looked at him and asked with a grim face, "Where is the talisman?"

Zhou Tianci took out a dark silver sign from his body, which was proof of his identity, and threw it over.

The guards took it and looked at it, and then let it go, and after Zhou Tianci took back the warrant, he slowly stepped into the barracks.

Zhou Tianci didn't know, because of his return, Weeping Blood City had already surged!
