Episode 117 Heavenly Sword
The Central Plains Army was defeated, and more importantly, its morale was hit hard, and even Zhao Long, the commander of the First Army, was shocked by the sudden one-eyed beast, and he had been apprehensive, not to mention the shrimp soldiers and crab soldiers who were lucky enough to hold their lives.
At this moment, Zhao Long, the deputy general, Xue Yunchong and others were gathering together to discuss ways to resist the enemy. Zhao Long slapped the table and said angrily: "It's really not as good as the sky, it looks like it's about to annihilate the enemy, the situation is very good, how can I expect to kill a behemoth monster halfway, if not."
Trying to get rid of this monster will definitely cause endless trouble, what do you think about this?" he said to the end, desperate for advice, and glanced at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on Xue Yunchong, who had high hopes for him.
"This monster sword can't be injured, in my opinion, non-divine soldiers can't be cleaned up, I think the top priority is to find the heavenly sword first. Xue Yunchong expressed his opinion.
"Heavenly Sword?" everyone's eyes converged on Xue Yunchong, all with doubts on their faces.
"Yes, the Heavenly Sword is one of the seven great divine weapons, if you get the Heavenly Sword, the monsters can be removed, and the overall situation can be determined. Xue Yunchong said seriously.
"Then where can I find this Heavenly Sword?" Zhao Long hurriedly asked.
"I've already checked the approximate location, but ......" Xue Yunchong said this, muttering a little, and didn't continue, as if embarrassed.
"But what?" Zhao Long hurriedly asked, "Don't waste time, if there is any problem, you might as well say it, as long as I can help, everyone will work together, there is no problem that cannot be overcome!"
Hearing this, Xue Yunchong raised his eyes to look at Zhao Long, and said, "To find the Heavenly Sword, you must cross the Death Desert in the west, and this is the biggest problem. ”
Those present were all experienced people, and they were all moved when they heard about the Death Desert. Although Xiao Li was young, he had already heard that there was an endless desert of death in the west of the vast land of Shenzhou, which was full of golden sand, and it was not these sands that were terrifying
It is the desert itself that can devour living beings, and those who step into the period will be swallowed by the sand, leaving no bones left, hence the name of the Death Desert. If you want to cross this desert of death, unless you can fly, you don't know how long you will have to fly.
Because of the existence of the Death Desert, no one has been able to step out of the border for thousands of years, and those who have stepped out have already died, so no one knows about the world outside the desert, and it is a mysterious and unknown territory.
Zhao Long suddenly became silent after hearing Xue Yun rush out the four words Death Desert, his face was at a loss, and he muttered for a moment: "Is there really no other way than to find the Heavenly Sword?" Finally, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked up again
Xiang Xueyun Chong, "Where are the other divine soldiers, there is always a place where we can get there, right?"
Xue Yun said: "The rest of the divine soldiers are all far away, even to cross the sea, in comparison, the geographical location of the Heavenly Sword is the most accurate, as long as it crosses the Death Desert." We don't have much time, we have to abandon the distance and get close. ”
Zhao Long said: "Having said that, don't say that this death desert can't be crossed, even if you can fly, you don't know how long you have to fly, can you ensure that you can rush back within ten days?"
Xue Yunchong's face was not optimistic, he thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "If there are flying props, I think you can give it a try, the desert on land will never be wider than the ocean, but how to get this flying prop is a big problem." ”
"I haven't heard of any flying props, isn't this whimsical?" the lieutenant general beside Zhao Long suddenly spoke.
"No, I've seen it, and I've ridden it myself. Xue Yunchong retorted, "But the person who made this flying prop is far away in Huanglong Town, so if you can ask him for help, it will be a good deal." ”
"Who is this person you are talking about?" Zhao Long asked, "Can he really make flying props?"
"It's true!" Xue Yun said, "It's just that it's too late to go to Huanglong Town now." ”
"And Huanglong Town has fallen, falling into the hands of the Dongli Army, and the person you are talking about may be dead. Zhao Long added.
"What you said is also what I want, but I'm afraid that this will not work out. After Xue Yunchong finished speaking, he slapped his palm violently and frowned deeply.
"Since this road is not working, it is a big deal that we will fight with them, although the monster has thick skin, it may not be without weaknesses, we just need to find its weaknesses, and then work together to attack it, maybe we can subdue it. Xiao Li expressed his opinion.
Zhao Long nodded and said: "What Brother Xiao said is very true, if you can't find a better way, you can only fight hard, if you are not defeated, dying on the battlefield is also the best destination for me Zhao Long." ”
Xue Yun rushed and said: "The general doesn't have to say such a frustrating word, how can our righteous army be defeated by the thief army? Since the enemy army is limited to ten days, we can just use this time to discuss countermeasures and recuperate, if we can't think of it today, we will think about it tomorrow.
The problem is out, and there is always a way to solve it. ”
Zhao Long said: "Brother Xue is also good, everyone is tired today, let's go back and have a good rest, if you have any ideas, please feel free to contact me, here Zhao first thanked you for your great help." After speaking, he thanked the people around him.
At this point, the meeting was declared over, everyone dispersed, and Xue Yunchong and Xiao Li returned to Qingshui Town together.
At night, it is the time to sleep, but the snow clouds are not sleepy, and they come to the empty and lonely street alone, looking up at the sky, but they see the sky full of stars, the bright moon is shining, and the beautiful scenery of a good day is not willing to be consumed.
After a while, he took out the book of weapons entrusted to him by Qiu Hongye from his arms, held it in his hand and looked at it, thinking: It's rare that my predecessors value me so much and have high hopes for me, but I can't do anything now...... The condensation technique can no longer make a breakthrough, and neither can the divine soldiers
What can I do to resolve this crisis, and when will I be able to expel the thieves from the Central Plains?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there was an extra person behind him, and hurriedly turned around to see that it was Yueying coming.
"Yueying, don't you sleep so late?" Xue Yunchong put the weapon spectrum back into his arms and put it away, and asked Yueying softly, which was regarded as a hello.
"I couldn't sleep, I wanted to come out and breathe. Tsukizakura said softly, as she rushed up towards the snow clouds.
"Do you have something on your mind?" Xue Yunchong asked.
"Who doesn't have a heart? As long as you have feelings, you will have a heart, right?" Yueying said, "I see that you are also preoccupied, can you tell me about it, maybe I can help?" After speaking, he came to Xue Yunchong's side.
"I'm afraid no one can help me. Xue Yunchong shrugged helplessly and said.
"Maybe you didn't say it, how do you know I can't help you?" Tsukizakura said, "It's like you wouldn't have thought that I could save the dragon girl before you knew me, right?"
When Xue Yunchong heard this, he agreed, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, you are right, I am confused." I don't have any expectations, but it doesn't hurt to tell you. Actually, today we fought a losing battle because we met a behemoth halfway through, like
It's a demon monster summoned by someone.,The sword can't be hurt.,To get rid of this monster, I'm afraid that it has to be unsheathed.。 The problem is that the place where this divine soldier is located is far to the west, and if we want to cross the Death Desert, we are not immortals, how can we have the magic of soaring clouds and mist?
Mortals who step into the ...... will die"
Hearing this, Yue Ying suddenly understood, and said, "Don't you just want to fly over the Death Desert?"
"Yes, but no matter how good I am at flying longitudinal, I can't fly in the sky all the time, so I have to use flying props. Xue Yunchong nodded, "However, how can this flying prop be said to be able to be made?"
"It's not that hard. "Tsukizakura said.
"What did you say?" Xue Yunchong almost thought he had misheard, and immediately confirmed further.
"I can help you. Yueying looked at Xue Yunchong firmly and said.
"Are you serious?"
"At this critical juncture, how dare I play with it?"
"That's great, what are you going to do?"
"It's easy, I can summon flying props. ”
"What kind of flying prop?"
"Actually, it's not a prop, it's just a flying spirit beast called a winged bird. Yue Ying said and untied the gemstone necklace hanging around her neck, held it in the palm of her hand and stretched it out in front of Xue Yunchong, and continued: "Brother Chong, look, this is not an ordinary necklace, it is a bunch
, one blue and one red, representing two winged birds, one male and one female. ”
Xue Yunchong carefully looked at the sapphire necklace in Yueying's palm, and said in surprise, "You mean you can summon a male winged bird from this gem?"
Tsukizakura nodded, "Not really, this winged bird is originally a pair, male and female are one." However, after being summoned, the gem will disappear, that is, it will be destroyed, and the summoned spirit beast also has a lifespan, if the time is exceeded
It disappears, so it is generally not used unless it is absolutely necessary, but now it comes in handy. ”
Xue Yun said: "Such a precious thing, are you really willing to sacrifice it?"
"It doesn't matter to me anymore......" Tsukizakura's expression darkened and she hung her head silently.
Xue Yunchong couldn't bear to see Yueying's sad appearance, her heart was sour, and she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I asked what I shouldn't ask, are you okay?"
"I'm fine...... "Yue Yingfu raised her head again, and said seriously, "I'm really happy to be able to help you, this gemstone necklace finally played its role." ”
Xue Yunchong also nodded his head and said yes, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't feel good in his heart, and only said lightly: "Yueying, thank you!"
"You're welcome, I'm all I have to do. Yue Ying said, "When you need to tell me, I can serve at any time." ”
"By the way, then again, how big is this than a winged bird, how many people can it carry?" Xue Yunchong suddenly asked.
"As far as I know, this winged bird is also a huge spirit beast, and I don't know how many people it can carry. Tsukizakura said.
"Okay, I got it. Xue Yunchong nodded when he heard this, "Rest well tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to find the Heavenly Sword, I hope you can accompany me." ”
Yue Ying immediately agreed: "If you don't dislike it, then it's naturally great!"
"You're talking stupid things again, how can I dislike you?" Xue Yunchong reached out and stroked Yueying's smooth and soft face and said, "You are the most important woman in my heart, you know? ”
"Brother Chong, I'm sorry, I know you really love me, right?" Yueying's eyes flashed, and she looked up at Xue Yunchong deeply, with a loving expression.
"Of course, I really love you. Xue Yunchong said, "It is now, and it will be in the future." With that, he hugged Yueying and hugged him tightly, like a pair of lovers who had been reunited after a long absence.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Yueying and Xue Yunchong met at the agreed location on the outskirts of Qingshui Town, preparing to go to the foreign land together to find the Heavenly Sword.
As soon as the two met, Yue Ying hurriedly asked Xue Yunchong: "Brother Chong, have you seen Miss Long, she is gone when I got up in the morning, I don't know where she went?"
Xue Yunchong crossed his arms and said disapprerovingly: "She's not a child anymore, don't care about her, it's important for us to get down to business." ”
"But her skills haven't fully recovered yet, and now that the army is in chaos, will it be dangerous?" Tsukizakura expressed concern, "Let's look for her around, right?"
"What to look for, it's completely redundant, like her kind of arrogant and unreasonable brainless tsundere, it's good to not find it, I'm more worried. Xue Yunchong deliberately let go of his voice and said.
When Yue Ying heard this, she said disapprovingly: "Brother Chong, it's not good for you to say that about Miss Long, if she knew that you would say this about her, how sad she would be." ”
