Chapter 38: Returning Home
Dugu's family is a small fishing village on the edge of the East China Sea, the family relies on his father to go out to sea every day to fish and send it to the morning market to sell in exchange for a living, and his mother mends nets, dries nets, washes and cooks every day, and is a model housewife.
Dugu hadn't been home for more than three years, and every time he called home, his mother cried and hoped that Dugu would be able to go home. Whenever this time Dugu's heart is very uncomfortable, not that he doesn't want to go home, but he needs to work hard for future survival, Dugu's life in the past three years can be described as quite miserable, injured again and again, exhausted again and again. If Dugu had chosen to practice at home at that time, his mother would have been heartbroken when she saw him scarred every day. So Dugu chose to bear it himself.
Since the Demon Island came out and the corpse disaster began, many coastal cities have borne the brunt of the attack, and Dugu's home is far away from the Magic Island, so it has effectively defended against this disaster. The government built several steel walls around the East China Sea to ward off the corpses. It was also because of this that his father Dugulie lost his only job. Dugu Lie is a complete Jin Yong fan, and admires the heroes in the novel who have a narrow heart and are loyal and courageous, so after the corpse disaster, he voluntarily came to the steel city wall and carried a spear to protect the territory behind him.
Staying here because of the admiration of the heroes in martial arts novels, many people may laugh at his stupidity and say that he is not capable of doing it. But this is a fisherman's insistence. It's in his nature. Fishermen who live by the sea have the same mind as the sea. They are simple, they are simple, they are rough, they are heroic, this is the fishermen. The ancients said: Most of the righteousness are dog slaughterers, and the negative hearts are all readers. I guess that's it!
On top of the heavy steel city wall, a stout middle-aged man, dressed in a military uniform, stood upright. His eyes were as sharp as eagle's eyes, and he roamed beyond the walls, a polished shiny machine gun lying between his hands, ready to strike a fatal blow at the corpses who wanted to climb the walls. There were soldiers wearing the same uniforms around, but they were scattered, chatting and laughing in groups, and none of them were as attentive as him.
"Hey, Dugu Lie, don't pretend, you are so serious every time, we are preached by the battalion commander every time, are you really stupid or are you trying to harm us?
Dugu Lie ignored these gossips and still stared at the front tightly. Suddenly, his expression changed greatly, in the sea of corpses in the distance, he vaguely found dozens of tall ghouls hiding in it, the ghouls were already considered monk-level, and they were definitely not something they could fight, so many ghouls, it was difficult to say whether there was a ghoul or not. Dugu Lie remained silent, thinking that these useless fools on the city wall could never be fought against, and he could only communicate with the monks in the town. He didn't dare to make a big move, these corpse cultivators obviously wanted to attack secretly, and they didn't want to be discovered beforehand, so he also pretended to be lazy and lazy.
"Hey, Dugu Lie, you finally can't pretend!" the soldiers around him said disdainfully:
Dugu Lie showed a simple smile and said, "People have three urgies! Brother, staring at the point! I'll go to the toilet." Then he staggered towards the alarm bell, but the corner of his eye never left the place where the ghouls were hidden.
When he was less than ten meters away from the alarm bell, he galloped, took three steps and made two steps to reach the alarm bell, and struck it hard. !?? !?? A hurried alarm bell rang, and the whole town behind the city wall boiled, and thousands of monks flew up to the city wall, but when they saw the usual tide of corpses, they were slightly angry.
"Someone's alarm bell, stand up for me!" shouted a young monk, with a swaggering gesture.
Dugu Lie walked out of the crowd, ignoring the monk, but walked straight to his battalion commander:
"Report to the battalion commander, just now I saw dozens of ghouls hiding in the distant tide of corpses, slowly approaching here, so I sounded the alarm. ”
"Where are the ghouls, can't you see when we are blind?" said the monk angrily, he was quite dissatisfied with Dugu Lie's attitude of ignoring him.
"I'm just doing my duty, and if I see a ghoul and above, I'll report it, there's no need to explain so much to you!" Dugu Lie said stiffly:
"Snap" A loud ear scrape struck Dugu Lie's face, and immediately his right face was high and swollen, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"With so many soldiers on the city wall, why did you see it alone, and everyone else was blind?" said the monk grimly.
"We didn't see anything! We saw Dugu Lie lazily patrolling here, and then suddenly ran to ring the alarm bell. Someone secretly added fuel and vinegar: The ordinary soldiers around them were all gloating in their hearts, not to mention how happy they were. Dugu Lie's eyes were already bloodshot, and he looked at the young monk in front of him angrily.
"What's the matter? You still want to eat me, you can't do it! You neglect your duties while patrolling, and you dare to ring the alarm bell to trick me, etc., do you want to die?"
"Shangxian is angry, Shangxian is angry, Dugu Lie I know, I have always been conscientious, I think there must be some misunderstanding here, and please Shangxian ignore the villain. Let him go!" the battalion commander said:
The young monk glanced lightly at the battalion commander, glared at Dugu Lie fiercely, and turned to leave. The other monks around also shook their heads slightly and flew towards the town behind them.
Before they could fly far, there was a roar behind them, and suddenly, everyone looked behind them.
"Look! it's a giant wolf," exclaimed.
I saw that on the edge of the distant corpse tide, a cyan giant wolf about three stories high rushed towards this side, and above the giant wolf, there was a young figure, this person was Dugu. Xiaoxue sat on his shoulder, shaking her little feet, looking at the corpse soldiers who were constantly being hit by the moon.
But soon Dugu discovered the abnormality, these ordinary corpse soldiers could withstand the impact of the moon by month, and they retreated to both sides, but only the corpse soldiers not far in front of them trembled and did not dodge at all, as if they were hiding something.
"Month by month, something is not right, be careful. Dugu reminded:
Moon nodded and rushed straight forward, when it came to those corpse soldiers, Moon Moon picked up his big paw and slapped it fiercely, and suddenly blood flew sideways, and the ground sank into a deep hole, and a terrible scream sounded from the hole, listening to this cry is obviously not something that ordinary corpse cultivators can make.
When the monks on the city walls heard this scream, they all changed color, and it was clear that they had heard something wrong. The young monk's face turned blue and red. glared at Dugu Lie viciously.
Dugu looked into the cave, and a huge ghoul with a blue face and fangs was so learned about life by one claw month by month, and he really died unjustly. Dugu found that there were still many groups of corpse soldiers around him who did not move, and he expected that the situation must be the same, driving Dugu to step on it.
Seeing that these corpse cultivators couldn't hide it, they came out of the ground one after another, and an exclamation immediately sounded on the city wall, for no other reason, three corpse demons and dozens of ghouls appeared in the corpse tide in the distance. The highest cultivation in the town is an elder at the peak of the acquired realm, and it is already the limit to be able to resist one corpse demon, so how to deal with the appearance of three corpse demons like this?
Dugu's expression was also slightly solemn, although his cultivation had skyrocketed recently, and he had killed the demon cultivator, but Dugu understood that those were pure luck, if it weren't for the restraint between attributes, he would definitely not be the opponent of the demon cultivator.
Moon by month was also vigilant, although he had seen the formation of tens of thousands of corpse demons, but there were no corpse demons involved in the siege at that time, if those corpse demons were also involved at that time, Moon by Moon believed that they would definitely be torn to pieces within minutes.
"The ghouls are entrusted to me to entangle, you deal with these ghouls as soon as possible, and then come to help me. Dugu said to Zhuyue: As he spoke, he turned over his hand to take out the blood Ji and faced the three corpse demons.
