Chapter 702: Yelang City
The beasts on the opposite side had been timidly afraid to approach, and suddenly one of the beasts who seemed to be the leader let out a fierce roar. The chaotic herd quieted down, regrouped and continued to approach.
The dead leaves stepped on the board surface, and the head shook violently, making a "squeak" sound. I saw dead leaves above the water, in the air. The wind blew his robe, like a raging flame that reflected the entire river red, and even the flowers that were blooming on the shore were eclipsed.
Seeing this, the little beast on the opposite side was even more frightened, twisting and pinching and letting out an intermittent cry of dissatisfaction, and slowly moved forward. The dead leaves once again condensed the red internal force, and smashed the fiery red leaves in his hands towards the beasts. Only this time it landed on the water in front of them, and the red ball met the water surface and made a "zizi" sound, and the water around the red ball bubbled and boiled. The temperature of the river rose suddenly, and the beasts felt the abnormality of the water temperature, and the scorching temperature scorched their skin, and they became agitated again.
The herd retreated a few meters, and finally scattered and fled away, and the water was calm again.
Yelang City Moonlit Night Square, this square is the place where the four beasts were killed on a moonlit night and the enemy's national feats were fought. Every moonlit night, the warriors who fought alongside him returned with the spoils of war. Over time, the people affectionately named it: Moonlit Night Square.
The white horse sits in the center of the square, a majestic square carved from white marble. The circular plaza is surrounded by stone staircases for people to sit in, and there are nine rows in total, from the outside to the inside, from the highest to the lowest. Outside the stone steps is a spectacular row of white marble watches, about three meters high, carved with lifelike golden dragons, each with a bright moon at the top, which can shine as bright as day even at night.
In the center of the square is a huge stone platform surrounded by a blazing brazier, in the middle of which is a large tiger skin chair, in front of which a lot of trophies are placed on a camphor wood table. There are all kinds of small beast fur and horns. Or all kinds of weapons used in battle, silver spears, bows and arrows, halberds, etc.
Now the square is empty, and the white horse sits in a daze on a tiger skin chair. In the past few days, the withered leaves have been accompanying her to resist the four beasts of the flood and desolation that are constantly encroaching, so that Yelang City can have the tranquility it has now, and the corners of Bai Ma's lips actually showed a smile when he thought of this.
The sun on the edge of the sky is like fire, hanging brightly in the air, illuminating the earth. The white horse leaned on the big chair and lazily enjoyed the warm winter sun, which was probably the most pleasant thing in winter. "Girl. There was a call not far away, and the beautiful voice was a little hoarse and tired.
The white horse followed the prestige. On the other side of the square, he was dressed in red, riding the wind, his robe swaying in the wind, like a gorgeous fire butterfly.
"I have butterflies tattooed on my shoulders, so why don't you call me a dead leaf. The sound of the withered leaves echoed in the ears of the white horse, and she was so stunned that the withered leaves rode the wind, and the toes of her toes touched the stone platform and slowly landed, and the many small beasts he held in his hands, those little beasts were laid on the ground dying. Bright red blood flows from the brown fur.
The dead leaves still smiled brightly, and walked towards the white horse, the sunlight around them eclipsed.
"Thank you. The white horse stood up and said thank you solemnly, but he didn't know what to say except thank you.
The withered leaf shook his head and took the white horse's hand. With the other hand, he took out a night pearl the size of a goose egg from his chest, put it on her hand and said, "This was found by killing the four beasts at sea, and I will send it to you." ”
The night pearl in his hand glowed with a faint white light, and there was a hint of warmth in his palm. Hakuba looked up at him in surprise. Although there was a smile on the face of the dead leaves, he was much haggard, and his heart was sour.
The two of them sat on the big chair with each other. The white horse leaned against his chest, feeling a sense of security that he had never felt before.
The sun in the sky moved from east to west, slowly approaching the mountains over there. The evening sun was extraordinarily soft, without dazzling light, like a huge red ball hanging quietly on the top of the mountains, as if it would roll down the ridge in the next second.
Little by little, the sun waned, and the last faint orange light finally disappeared. The color of the sky had turned inky blue, and the white horse withered leaves had been sitting there, too quiet to break.
The withered leaf looked down at the person in his arms, his slender eyelashes drooping and making a slight snoring sound. "Could it be that she is asleep?" thought Withered Leaf, wrapping her tightly in the red veil on her body.
On a moonlit night, the Huabiao around the square lit up one after another, and each moon emitted a soft and bright light, illuminating the whole square as if it were day. The brazier around the stone platform also emitted bright yellow flames, and the sawdust in the brazier occasionally made a few popping sounds, and a few sparks floated up.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the moonlit square is still bright, as if it is a sacred place where there is no night. There was a sudden noisy sound outside the square, and there was a red round lantern, which was the people of Yelang City.
As the noisy sound got closer and closer, the person in his arms moved restlessly, and finally opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "What's wrong?"
The dead leaves looked at the approaching red light not far away, and they didn't know why. "Don't worry. He just whispered a word of comfort to her.
The white horse broke free of the withered leaves' embrace and sat on the big chair on the side, not knowing what she was resisting. Withered Leaf didn't say anything, put her hand on her small hand clenched into a fist, and looked at the crowd.
The people sat down on the stone steps of the square with lanterns, as before. An old man with gray hair came out of the crowd, wearing a fur coat with many red tassels hanging from his clothes. On the old man's face, a pair of sharp eyes sank deeply, giving people an invisible deterrent, and that person was the patriarch of Yelang City.
The crowd fell silent, and the old man walked slowly up to the stone platform with his crutches. "Tuk-tuk-tuk-" The audience was silent except for the sound of crutches on the ground. The old man stood in front of the big stone chair and watched them, and the white horse and the dead leaves were about to stand up, but the old man waved his hand and realized that they were sitting down.
"Yelang City, a few months ago. On a moonlit night, the general fought with the dragon, unfortunately died in the middle of the river, and the people were heartbroken, and they marched to mourn," the patriarch's voice said in a heavy and powerful voice, and the audience was silent, and the eyes of the white horse on the big chair dimmed.
The patriarch continued, his voice was excited, and his body, which was originally facing the people, suddenly turned to face the withered leaves: "Now, with the protection of this noble person in the past few months, Yelang City can maintain its current peace. We, the people in the audience, are grateful, and after repeated discussions, we have decided to make you the new Great Protector General, are you willing?" the patriarch was sincere, and there was some humble pleading in his passionate tone.
