Chapter 9: The Iron Eagle Guard

The next morning, dew hung on the yellowing leaves outside the city, and the mist had cleared long before dawn. Yue'er absorbed the aura for a while, and Edgeworth returned to the stone tower.

At this time, all the people, including the infant babies, were also taken by their mothers to the stone building. The hallway and roof in the center of the two rows of bungalows were full of people. But no one went to Yue'er's stone building, and Li Er and the others stood on the lookout and waited for Yue'er's arrival.

"You're all here!" Yue'er returned to the stone building, soaring in the air to see the dense crowd of people around her. Everyone's face is covered with a layer of sallow, which is a sign of a chronic lack of nutrients. Everyone was very quiet, no one spoke, just silently waited for Yue'er to speak. Even the baby in the swaddling clothes fell asleep quietly, without noise or noise.

"I know this sudden change is like a nightmare haunting you, but this is the reality! This is a world of the jungle, and if you want to survive here, you have to make yourself strong. Maybe there are ordinary people, rich businessmen, and talented people among you, but when you get here, you are mortals at the lowest level of the food chain!" Yue'er straightened her face, thinking of the outside world, many immortal cultivators, and said helplessly.

When everyone heard Yue'er's voice, some people shed tears of sadness, some yelled dissatisfiedly, and some smiled bitterly.

"But at least you're still alive! This proves that you have the ability to survive on this land, and you have the ability to compete with wild wolves and cultivators for the right to live. Yue'er said loudly again. Many people clenched their fists and looked at Yue'er.

"Look at them!" Yue'er pointed at Li Er and the others and continued, "They are fighting for your survival with their lives, so can you, can you become strong for yourself and the people around you, and fight for survival?"

"Yes!" all the people, including Li Er, shouted.

"Maybe you're telling the truth at this moment, but what about later?" Yue'er shook her head disdainfully and continued: "If you want to get our protection, then you have to pay!" Yue'er's words fell, and she opened her hands, and in an instant, white feathers flew out of Yue'er's arms and hung in front of everyone.

"I will build a strong defensive array for you, but I need your help, I need your devout faith, the nine men standing there!" Yue'er pointed to Li Erjiu and continued, "You must fully trust one of them. ”

Li Er's heart was beating faster, he was excited and scared now, how many people would choose him, and would he really be able to do a good job?

The feathers suspended in the air fell on everyone's hands, and these people could feel the character and a bit of Li Er's character from the feathers.

"When you have thought about it, you will cut your fingers with a feather and give up your devout faith. Speaking of this, Yue'er looked at Li Er and the others, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, will they become allies or enemies in the end?

Yue'er's words fell, and one person took the lead in cutting his fingers, and the next people cut their fingers one after another, kneeling down to Li Er and the others.

Some cunning and treacherous people were reluctant to cut their fingers, but they followed the crowd and knelt down quietly, with all kinds of calculations in their hearts. Time passed little by little, and Yue'er saw that all the people had knelt down. He shook his head and said, "I'll count three times, if you don't make a choice, don't blame me for being ruthless." One!" Yue'er was a little annoyed in her heart, Li Er and the others sacrificed their lives to save them at the beginning, but now they only need these people to believe in Li Er and the others unconditionally, these people can't do it, so what's the use of keeping them!

"Three!" Yue'er became more annoyed the more she thought about it, so she directly omitted two and counted to three. Many people were so frightened that they quickly scratched their fingers, some people were still hesitating, and some people wanted to gamble, hoping to get by.

"The guardian is in place!" Yue'er counted three, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, she immediately ordered Li Er and a few others to transform.

Yue'er's words fell, several people flew out one after another, and an eagle's head first appeared in the air, gradually revealing its body and eagle claws, and a pair of gorgeous wings appeared on the left side of everyone.

A white eagle appeared in the sky, occupying half of Yue County. The eagle swept over everyone's heads, and the feathers in the hands of the people suddenly changed and disappeared into everyone's bodies. Quite a few people have a white tattoo on their bodies, tattooing different parts of the eagle and representing the person to whom they have returned.

At this time, the light curtain that protected the entire Yue County instantly dispersed, and the flying eagles fell, spreading their wings to protect their people. But three of them were ejected from the eagle's wings.

"Heh, it's the three of you!" Yue'er's words just fell. The eagle soared, and the rest of the people were dragged into the air by an invisible force. Only the three who had not made a choice were left on the ground.

The wolf king immediately felt that Yue County's protection had dispersed, and without hesitation, he led his wolf pack to Yue County.

"Woo~" The wolf king let out a wolf roar, which resounded throughout Yue County. The next moment, a dense group of wild wolves approached the county seat.

The few people standing on the ground had not yet seen the wolf, but they heard the wolf's cry first.

"Woo~" Another wolf howl, "Woo~" All the wild wolves howled in response. The roar was getting closer. The three people on the ground trembled with fear. One of the young women touched her slightly bulging lower abdomen and looked at Yue'er with hatred. The other two, an old man and a young man, turned pale with fright, and looked around vigilantly.

The wolf king suffered a lot in Yue County, and it did not dare to move forward rashly. just led his subordinates to slowly approach the stone building. The stone building was located on the border of Yue County, and the wolves surrounded Yue'er in a very short period of time, more precisely, the three people on the ground.

"Immortal, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I'll choose now!" the old man begged for mercy without restraint, and was about to cut his finger with his feather, but the soft feather on his hand could not cut through the skin, and he could only stay where he was.

"It's not fair, I chose them, but what about my unborn child, what choice will he use when the time comes, I will leave this feather to my child!" said the young woman with tears in her eyes.

The boy had already been frightened by the wolves around him, and his head was blank, like a puddle of mud falling to the ground. There was no energy, only lips trembled.

Yue'er glanced coldly at the three people on the ground, did not speak, and flew towards the city wall by the river with a flying sword. The eagle followed.

Yue'er stood on top of the city wall, and a puff of dust was kicked up on the ground, and the wolves followed. Yue'er completely ignored the wolves on the ground, took out the dark iron ore from the storage space, and chiseled out the black iron with a jade hammer. The wolves attacked several times, but they couldn't break through the protection of the flying eagle, but the wolf king persevered to stay outside the flying eagle, and it wanted revenge!

The hatred in the eyes of the abandoned young woman gradually turned into confusion, because these wild wolves did not attack her, and the old man and the young man smiled for the rest of their lives. The young man was timid, and when he saw the dense wild wolves around him, he took advantage of the nightfall to quietly slip away and leave Yue County. The young woman stood there stupidly, and when night came, she cautiously returned to her stone house. But the old man did not dare to move, and stood in place. He had a hint of fantasy in his heart, hoping that Yue'er could forgive himself, and at this moment he understood the strength of Li Er and the others, who else did he attach to if he didn't attach himself to such a person?

When night fell, the people were a little tired, and Li Er and the others changed back to their original shapes. In an instant, an invisible light curtain spread out from Li Er's body again. The wolf king, who was eyeing him, was ruthlessly withdrawn from Yue County by the light curtain.

"Whew!" the wolf king roared angrily. All the wild wolves were mercilessly thrown to the ground. At this time, when they met the fleeing teenager, the wolves instantly found the teenager who had left Yue County, and without waiting for the wolf king's order, the wolves swarmed up and bit the young man's limbs.

"Ah!" the boy was only halfway through his screams before he died at the mouth of the wolves, and the feathers that followed him were stained red with the boy's blood. The red feathers gradually floated from the boy's wreckage and returned to Yue'er's hands.

Yue'er looked at the feathers on her hands and said to everyone, "You're all tired, go back." ”

Li Er came to Yue'er's side and asked worriedly, "He's dead?"

"Dead. Yue'er replied with mixed feelings.

"Did he leave Yue County?" Dr. Cen lamented, "Hey, this kid, it's a pity!"

"With your protection, as long as you are in this Yue County, you will not be attacked by wild wolves with feathers, and the people who have your approval, even if you go out of Yue County, can immediately return here when they are attacked. Now you understand why I want the people to believe in you, right?" said Yue'er helplessly.

"We all understand!" Zhang Dashan said with a deep sigh.

"Yue'er, who are you going to let manage this blood feather?" Zhang Heng asked heavily.

"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plans. Tomorrow you will begin to build up. I'll refine the dark iron overnight. After Yue'er finished speaking, she returned to her stone building and began to cultivate.

Early the next morning, as soon as everyone went out, they saw a huge flying eagle hovering overhead. The eagle flapped its wings, its talons scratching the walls of the riverbank. In less than half a day's effort, the flying eagle had flattened the city wall, leaving a vast expanse of land.

The people sat down around the edge of the clearing, their eyes bewildered. The eagle came to rest in the clearing. Yue'er stood on the head of the eagle and poured out a million catties of dark iron from the jade hammer, and the dark iron passed through the body of the flying eagle, and a flying eagle was used as a mold, and it was piled up one after another. Time passed, and a huge iron eagle appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing that they could not provide any help, the people could only sit on the ground and silently support them. At noon, many people ate the food and water they had brought.

Yue'er looked at Tie Ying and asked with concern, "Can you still hold on?"

The stiff Iron Eagle suddenly became smart, opened his mouth and said, "Yes, thank you for your trust!" Iron Eagle glanced at the people around him, and he returned to his original stiff appearance.

At this time, Yue'er held out a polished meteorite pillar and shouted at the iron eagle: "Get up!" Suddenly the iron eagle seemed to come to life, flapping its wings and gradually flying off the ground. When all the people saw this, they put down the food in their hands and bowed down to the eagle.

"Fall!" Yue'er immediately embedded a hundred-zhang long meteorite into the ground, and at the same time, the iron eagle landed on the top of the iron pillar. Yue'er didn't stop, and immediately brandished the jade hammer, striking out one seal after another, and hid between the iron eagle and the iron pillar.

When night fell, half of the people were gone, but half of the people remained in place to guard the Iron Eagle. The sun and the moon alternate, and the people take turns to guard it. Yue'er has never left the Iron Eagle for half a step, and when she is tired, she cultivates under the iron pillar of meteoric iron, and when she is hungry, she eats the stone houses of the people. Even the wolf king came with a pack of wolves to guard this place, more precisely to monitor it.

Winter is coming, and Yue'er is still busy around Iron Eagle. From time to time, the people went to the wolves in the city to get food for the winter. Seeing that his subjects were dwindling, the wolf king realized that something was wrong, and was about to flee the place with his wolves, but found that it was too late, and he and the wolves were trapped here, only to survive on the occasional flock of birds and animals that had no intention of intruding into the place.

In winter, the snow is blowing one after another, and the stone houses in the entire Yue County are covered with a thick layer of snow, and many wolves who have not had time to survive the winter have frozen to death and starved to death in Shicheng.

The people put on wolfskin coats and continue to guard this place despite the cold.

When the first grass of spring popped up, Yue'er stopped the jade hammer and stared deeply at the iron eagle. And the owner of the demon mountain on the other side of the river also looked curiously at everything that happened here, and sighed: "This girl's perseverance is really tenacious!"

"Come here, come to me!" the master of the demon mountain was pondering when he suddenly heard a very seductive voice. The demon mountain master's heart sank, and he drank: "Who are you?"

"Come to me, come to me······" This seductive voice summoned the Demon Mountain Master again and again.

The master of the demon mountain was very puzzled in his heart, he was the lord of illusions, and he would be tempted by this voice, who was this? The master of the demon mountain felt that this matter was very strange, but he could not resist the temptation, and at the same time he was extremely curious, who was this? The master of the demon mountain went away and found that this voice actually came from under the mine!
