Chapter 23: Death and Life

Without waiting for the man to fall to the ground, Jiang Chenggang grabbed his fresh corpse and held it in his hand as a humanoid weapon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after, the living people in the front row were once again gnawed to white bones by rats.

Then, these dense red-eyed monsters rushed towards Jiang Cheng.

Die!

He poured the corpse with the Dark Yuan Spirit and pulled it out fiercely.

The countless rats that pounced on them suddenly turned into a mass of meat and flew out. At the same time, Jiang Cheng's free right hand took a brand-new ghost exorcism pile in his hand and kept whipping it.

He didn't use a sword move, but just cooperated with the corpse in his hand with a rapid frequency to keep the rat out.

"Run!"

Jiang Cheng's unexpected performance made the eyes of those who were tired of running for their lives shine.

There were even a few martial cultivators from the Innate Inner Gang Realm who hurriedly ran behind him and sought refuge.

Although he was wary of these people, Jiang Cheng did not drive them away, because it was a mutually beneficial cooperation.

He clears the road in front and the others in the rear to keep them safe on both sides and behind them.

Bang!

After several rounds of continuous volleys, smashing countless rats into meat paste, Jiang Cheng pretended to miss, threw the ghost exorcism pile in his hand, and then quickly took a new one.

"Follow me!"

Jiang Cheng's smooth advance quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Some of the witty ones rushed behind them desperately to get a position for themselves.

Although this position requires the rear of the palace, at least there is no need to worry about the safety of the front and flanks.

People are like this, when they face the enemy alone, even if the enemy is a timid mouse, they will be helpless. But once you put it together and focus on just one aspect, you can get things done.

At the very least, he can save his life.

Bang!

After another round of volleys, the entire team, driven by Jiang Cheng, gradually slowed down.

In this way, he wants to rescue those who can be rescued.

Although he couldn't risk annihilation and have the whole team stop and wait for those who were behind to catch up, he could slow down and do his best.

This is still the difference between Taoist cultivation and martial cultivation.

As for whether Dao Xiu is absolutely correct, to be honest, Jiang Cheng will not jump to conclusions easily.

He has been trying to observe the world, including those things that his ancestors knew and did not know.

He was looking for answers.

It is necessary to understand why the Heavenly Dao allowed the Xianmen to be destroyed three hundred years ago, and let the martial cultivators unify the world.

Imperial authority, even in the Heavenly Dao, is not a dispensable existence.

You must know that more than 300 years ago, the kings of various countries were able to enthrone the gods with just an edict!

Although those so-called gods have never appeared in the human world, it is an indisputable fact that they have been molded into gold and have been worshipping with incense for hundreds of years.

How can it really be useless?

"Thank you, sir!"

Those who came in a hurry from the back didn't know that it was Jiang Cheng who was pressing down the speed of the line in front, so they just expressed their gratitude to the back row.

The back row is also very happy to accept them, because then they can go from the back row to the middle row, except for the people on both sides who have to continue to face the onslaught of the rats, everyone else just needs to run away.

In this way, after a moment and a half, all the surviving human beings gathered behind Jiang Cheng.

And the whole team has become an unconventional regular triangle.

"Kill!"

The martial cultivators had no worries and happily killed the rats.

At this time, Jiang Cheng also finished throwing away the ghost exorcism pile, and immediately sped up his speed and took everyone away from the ruins.

If, at this time, someone deliberately pays attention to him, they will find that all the exorcism piles have been arranged in the ruins in the shape of the Big Dipper.

The South Dipper is born, and the North Dipper is dead.

They were meant to be a gift for those terrible ghosts!

"Look, they're back, they're back!"

After another moment, there was an earth-shattering cheer from the back of the line. But it was the rats who were unwilling to catch up, and as soon as they ran out of the ruins, they shrank back in a panic.

Some of them also found that as long as they crawled out of the ruins, the blood-red eyes of the rats would quickly return to normal.

For this discovery, Jiang Cheng just smiled slightly.

Because he knew that as long as the rats left the demon's sphere of influence, they would quickly get out of control and return to their true nature.

It's the rat king who is possessed by a powerful ghost, and I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious.

Alas!

After making sure that they were finally out of danger, everyone collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to throw away the fresh corpse that had been used as a weapon, and then disappeared into the crowd.

In fact, no one noticed him at all.

Whether it is the women and children left behind in the gathering place, the court officials, or the ordinary people who were rescued, the most important thanks are the dozen or so martial arts cultivators of the Neigang Realm.

And the martial cultivators, in their hearts, didn't think that Jiang Cheng, who had acquired strength, really played a big role.

Everyone thought he just happened to get a special weapon and happened to be in the right place.

It's really not a big deal.

In this way, although three out of ten of the population turned into bones, everyone saw it as a victory. The merchants who escaped from the rat mouth even opened the pockets of candy and preserves and distributed them to celebrate.

However, after a night, the problem returned to square one.

The straight road was not opened.

The task of the new city lord has not been completed, and the caravan cannot continue to advance, they can still only waste themselves on the gathering heights.

"It can't go on like this, the places outside the customs don't produce food, the straight roads are not opened for a long time, and sooner or later they will starve to death. ”

"However, if you want to get through the straight, you have to get rid of the rats first, and those red-eyed rats ......"

The person who spoke couldn't help but shudder when he said this.

"What should I do?"

"What's there! I think it's very simple, just like yesterday when we ran out of the ruins, next time, we will form a triangular formation and go in, and we can still beat them to the head. ”

probably felt that the idiom was used appropriately, and after the man finished speaking, he first laughed.

"That's right!"

Lord Chen, who convened everyone to discuss the matter, was dazzled.

So, the new official list soon came down, this time, it was a strong man who summoned a lot of money to exterminate rats, a lot of money!

Anyway, when the rich area was cleaned up a few days ago, the city lord received a large amount of gold and silver on behalf of the government, which was enough to meet the expenses.

Under the heavy reward, those who believe that they have some ability have signed up this time.

Anyway, they knew that since the formation of the triangular array yesterday, no one had been killed by rats again, so to speak, it was a free transaction.

"Aren't you going?"

Seeing that he was indifferent, the slave girl asked curiously.

"I'm not going. Jiang Cheng shook his head.

He knew that red-eyed rats could be killed, but not in this way. As for those who take the initiative to seek death, he will not show up to warn.

Heaven is impermanent, who can see through whether a person should die or not?

Saving people is merit, but risking one's life to save others is not necessarily, and maybe you will even put yourself in it.
