163 City of Babu
Along the way, with the existence of Leng Guhan, it is even more lively, fortunately, Yunxi went to retreat, otherwise these two living treasures would have to be annoyed to death when they get together. Speaking of Yunxi's retreat, there is something to do with Leng Guhan, Leng Guhan gave Yunxi a little energy. Although this energy is not even a drop in the bucket for Leng Guhan, it is majestic and vast for Yun Xi. In order to refine these energies, Yun Xi had to choose to retreat. Leng Guhan bullied Xue Xi a lot along the way, making Xue Xi grit her teeth with hatred, but she was helpless. Even if you really beat Leng Guhan, that guy isn't painless.
After more than ten days of running, Xue Xi and they had already seen the gloomy and lifeless mist in the undead swamp from a distance. The mist of dead air rolls endlessly, but it never leaves the confines of the undead swamp, and nature is truly wonderful. Less than two miles beyond the Swamp of the Dead is a small city called the City of Babu, which is not famous or has any commendable specialties. If you really want to talk about it, it is probably the closest to the swamp of the undead, which can be moved to the table. However, the people who came in and out of the city of Babu were all in a hurry, and most of them were running out of the city, and there were not many people entering the city. A group of brightly armored city guards patrolled back and forth on the city walls, but there was an inexplicable sense of tension. Xue Xi shook her head a little inexplicably.
Since I don't understand, I went to find out, and after Xuexi entered the city, I inquired about the location of the mercenary union. The Mercenary Guild in Babu is still easy to find, and it is one of the three tallest buildings. Xue Xi quickly walked to the door of the mercenary union, and the mercenary union in Babu City was unexpectedly quiet. In Xue Xi's impression, a large number of mercenaries in the mercenary union should be very noisy chatting and joking, and the deserted scene in front of him is a little weird. However, the whole city of Babu is strange, and Xue Xi is not so strange. The mercenary guild is still overcrowded, but all the mercenaries are quietly drinking, eating, or simply in a daze. Xue Xi could see the worry and sorrow in the eyes of these people, but it was really strange. Xue Xi thought and slowly walked to the counter.
"Hello Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" asked the receptionist politely. "I just came from somewhere else, and when I entered the city, I found that the people in the city were very strange, so I wanted to ask, is something going on in the city of Babu?" "Well, it's not the Swamp of the Dead. The receptionist sighed helplessly. "What does the Undead Swamp have to do with this?" Xue Xi not only did not solve her doubts, but became even more confused. "Miss, it's your first time here, it's normal to not know. The receptionist paused, then continued, "The Swamp of the Dead is flanked on three sides by the Three Great Empires, and on the other side is the Fiery Mountains. It's hard to say what about the dwarves of the Blazing Mountains, but our cities around the Swamp of the Dead are attacked almost every year by undead from the Swamp of the Dead. Now those nasty things are coming again, and we don't know if we can resist it. ”
"I see, but how did you know that the undead were coming?" Xue Xi continued to ask shamelessly. "The fog of the undead swamp is usually calm, and every time the undead are about to come out, it will roll over and stop. At that time, the surrounding cities will begin to prepare for defense. Only then did Xue Xi know that the rolling of the dead air actually had the effect of early warning. "Hehe, I see. Thank you. Xue Xi looked at the receptionist with a smile, it was very charming. The receptionist was stunned for a moment, and then said in a little panic, "It's okay, it's not a big deal, you can ask any person from Babu City about these things." The receptionist calmed down as he spoke, and he didn't know what to think of, so he said to Xue Xi again, "This young lady, I think you should leave Babu City as soon as possible, the current Babu City is really dangerous." As long as you leave the undead swamp for a hundred miles, you will generally be fine. ”
After the cultivator entered the golden pill stage, the growth of his body would slow down, and Xue Xi now looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old. It's no wonder that the receptionist would say this, in his opinion, Xue Xi must not have much strength. Rather than stay in the city of Babu to die, it is better to leave while there is still time left. Xue Xi smiled, "It's okay, I want to see how powerful those undead are." Besides, in this world, no one can keep me if I want to go. Xue Xi raised her head proudly, and a strong sense of confidence spread. The people around him seemed to be infected by Xue Xi's strong self-confidence, and the gloomy aura was alleviated a lot. There was also a little sound in the hall, it was the voice of those mercenaries talking. The receptionist wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he didn't know what to say.
Xue Xi smiled shallowly, turned around and walked out of the mercenary union. Leng Guhan leaned on the stone pillar outside the mercenary union and looked at Xue Xi with a smile. It's just that the smile became ill-intentioned in Xue Xi's eyes. Xue Xi took a step back vigilantly, "What bad idea are you thinking?" Along the way, Xue Xi was bullied and scared by Leng Guhan, and that guy made fun of her from time to time. Leng Guhan's smile immediately fell, and he touched his nose stupidly, "I'm that kind of person in your mind, and I feel very sad for this hateful bastard." Xue Xi rolled her eyes, "Peek inside me again, be careful that I beat you next time." Xue Xi was not confident enough to threaten, in order to cheer for herself, Xue Xi clenched her pink fist fiercely. "Hehe, okay, okay, I won't be bullying you in the future. Because I'm leaving. Leng Guhan's tone was a little sentimental, and he looked at Xue Xi with a resentful expression, and Xue Xi felt that the hairs on her whole body stood up.
"Don't disgust me. Xue Xi rubbed her arms vigorously, looking like she was about to vomit. "However, are you really leaving? Aren't we good, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Leng Guhan was leaving, and Xue Xi was still a little reluctant in her heart. I don't know why, Xue Xi felt that Leng Guhan was very kind, just like her own relatives. "Yo, I'm reluctant to be a handsome guy. That's okay, as long as you marry me, I won't leave you for anything, how about it?" Leng Guhan said with a cheap smile in Xue Xi's ear. The warm wind blowing in her ears made Xue Xi's ears red unconsciously, and she gritted her teeth and kicked Leng Guhan fiercely, "You're going to die, if you want to roll, get out of sight and out of mind." "Hey, hey. Looking at Xue Xi's crimson face, he was cold and cold, but happy, "You're shy." So be it, I'll give you a gift. If you are willing to marry me the next time we meet, then this gift will be regarded as a token of our commitment. If you don't want to, think of it as a gift from a friend. Leng Guhan didn't wait for Xue Xi to object, so he put a pair of moon-white headdresses on Xue Xi's head. "It's beautiful, I'm leaving. Leng Guhan left in a hurry for some reason.
Xue Xi touched a pair of hair accessories on the top of her head and muttered, "Really, I left so soon, and I didn't leave any time for others." However, Xue Xi was quickly attracted by the headdress sent by Leng Guhan. It was a two-and-a-half-moon headdress dotted with specks of stars. A feeling of flesh and blood inexplicably surged into Xue Xi's heart, as if the pair of headdresses were originally their own. "It's beautiful, thank you, big bastard. Xue Xi muttered softly, not knowing if Leng Guhan could still hear it. Bringing the headdress back and reluctantly throwing off the reluctance in his heart, Xue Xi walked easily on the streets of Babu City. Because of the invasion of the undead, the current city of Babu seems to be very depressed. There are hardly many people on the street except for some vendors who are really reluctant to leave, and even the occasional pedestrian walks away in a hurry. Xue Xi also lost interest in shopping.
I casually found a hotel that was still open on the street, and Xuexi asked for a single room. Xuexi rarely went out after she stayed, after all, there was nothing special about Babu City, not to mention that it was an extraordinary time now. Xue Xi, who didn't know what to do, simply chose a small retreat, and Xue Xi's cultivation wanted to break through, although it was not a day or two to succeed, but it would add up to a lot, and gather sand into a tower. After the retreat, the situation in Babu City became even more severe, and the mercenary guild issued a mission related to it. According to the experience of previous years, when the undead invaded, it was far from enough to rely on the city guards, so the City Lord's Mansion issued a mission to assist in defending the city in the mercenary union. In fact, everyone tacitly knew all this, and those who did not want to stay and help had left a long time ago, and most of those who were still in the city of Babu wanted to stay. The City Lord's Mansion issued a mission at this time, which only gave those people more motivation.
When Xue Xi came out of the Infinite Space, the city of Babu was already under complete martial law, and all contact with the outside world was cut off. Xue Xi found a time to quietly go out of the city, and entered the Swamp of the Dead to explore. Of course, this exploration of Xuexi did not go deeper, but only went around the outermost part a little. Rao is like this, Xue Xi has also seen a large number of undead creatures, the most common is ordinary white bone undead. Xue Xi didn't stay long, just took a few general glances and returned to Babu City. The large number of these undead is good, but for Xue Xi, there is no challenge. As for the lives of those people in Babu City, Xue Xi didn't care about it, if it weren't for the fact that he was going to enter the Swamp of the Undead, Xue Xi might not have stayed in Babu City now. So just knowing these things, Xue Xi didn't think to tell the City Lord's Mansion or anyone else. As for whether the undead want to help when they attack the city, it depends on Xue Xi's mood.
At this moment when the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, the nerves of the entire Babu City are unconsciously tensed. Even this atmosphere was quickly broken by the horn of the undead attacking. On the third day after Xue Xi infiltrated the swamp of the undead, the annual siege of the undead finally began. The alarm bell rang for a while, and people from all over Babu City immediately ran to the walls on all sides, and the side facing the Swamp of the Dead was the most important thing, and almost gathered the four Cheng Renma who were on guard throughout the whole process. After Xue Xi heard the alarm bell, Shi Shiran also went out. The city guards on the city walls have erected a large number of powerful crossbows, and the arrows fired by these strong crossbows are enough to pierce the walls several meters thick. Behind the soldier was the mage of Yishui, and everyone was on standby, nervously looking in the direction of the swamp of the undead. More people are under the walls at this time, and they will be in close contact with the undead. In the swamp of the undead not far away, a large number of white bone undead were pouring out at this time. Each thousand bones formed a small phalanx, and then walked neatly towards the city of Babu.
Xue Xi looked at those white-boned undead with some surprise, Xue Xi still knew a lot about the undead after staying in Babu City for so many days. The Bone Undead are not intelligent, they will only do what the controller commands. It seems that the people who control these white skeletons still have a lot of military culture. The Bahamas, the lord of Babu City, also noticed that this year's undead attack was very different from previous years. He frowned, and looked at the undead queue with a solemn expression. Xue Xi's immortal consciousness unfolded, and soon found the hidden commander, this is the necromancer, it seems that there will be a good show later. Xue Xi thought with interest.
