Chapter 48: The Core of the Valley of the Buried Gods
As night fell, Liu Ao put his hands behind his head and lay crookedly on the simple wooden bed with a group of demon suppression soldiers.
A faint light suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the footsteps were deliberately suppressed, it should be Qiu Lingfeng who had returned.
Sure enough, a tall and graceful figure appeared in the middle of the cave, and she stumbled off her soft armor, revealing the pure white close-fitting thin clothes inside.
Liu Ao's gaze was unusually bright.
Seeing Liu Ao open his eyes, Qiu Ling'er lowered his voice, "Why don't you sleep yet?"
Liu Ao got up slowly, and walked towards the entrance of the cave with the sword of Aozhi, and said:
"Can't sleep. β
Hole.
Liu Ao held the sword of pride in his chest and looked up at the hazy crescent moon in the sky that was obscured by clouds and mist.
The surroundings are quiet, and looking up is the steep cliffs on both sides of the Valley of the Buried Gods, where Liu Ao once spent more than 3,000 nights.
"Dada~"
There were slight footsteps behind him, and Liu Ao looked back, but saw Qiu Lingfeng with bare white feet, only wearing a thin suit.
She stood beside Liu Ao, looked up at the moonlight, and said with emotion:
"When I first came, I couldn't sleep, this place was so dilapidated, I didn't even have a decent room, and I had to stay with this group of rough men all day long, I thought I wouldn't be able to hold on, but it took more than half a year to come. β
"Step by name, heh," Qiu Lingfeng chuckled, "Don't always take people for fools, who do you think will believe this kind of name?"
"You have the same breath as we do, and that's why these brothers accept you. β
Qiu Lingfeng turned his head to meet Liu Ao's gaze, his face extremely serious.
"I don't care what you're here for, but I hope you don't implicate my brothers. β
Liu Ao smiled, "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you." β
"During the day, you asked me about my relationship with Qiu Long, why, you have a grudge against Qiu Long?"
Qiu Lingfeng suddenly became gossipy, "The young master of the bullshit Qiu family, the super genius of the bullshit, he hated the dragon, but he was a despicable and shameless hypocrite who only knew how to bully the weak and fear the hard!"
"Since you have been in the Demon Suppression Army, have you heard the name Liu Ao?"
Qiu Lingfeng looked at Liu Ao with a smile, "Have you heard of it?"
Liu Ao frowned, "Liu Ao, who is he?"
Qiu Lingfeng smiled, retracted his gaze and looked into the distance, "This defense area was originally in charge of Liu Ao, but later, Liu Ao escaped from the battle, disobeyed the order, and killed the brother of our demon army. β
"I'm still wanted. β
When Liu Ao heard this, a trace of disgust appeared on his face, "Why hasn't such a person been caught yet?"
"Caught?"
Qiu Lingfeng smiled meaningfully, "To be honest, even I want to arrest him, and if I catch him, I can ask for merit and receive a reward." β
Liu Ao let out an expressionless 'um' sound, but his right hand held the sword of Ao more tightly.
"But the point is, I don't believe in it~"
Qiu Lingfeng yawned and rubbed his arms, obviously a little cold.
"I have checked Liu Ao's information, I joined the army since I was a child, and I have made a lot of contributions in the past ten years, so it stands to reason that I should have become a squadron leader a long time ago. β
"I don't believe that such a person will flee from battle. β
"What's more, I can't understand Qiu Long's character anymore, and it is very likely that he framed Liu Ao in this matter. β
"You say, why would Qiu Long be so interested in a little-known squad leader?"
Hearing Qiu Lingfeng ask, Liu Ao sneered, "Then you should ask Qiu Long." β
"Let's go in and rest, it's cold," Liu Ao pointed to the clothes on Qiu Lingfeng's body, "I'll give you a kind reminder, even if you are in the company of a group of rough men, you must remember that you are a daughter, and pay more attention to it, so as not to be remembered." β
The corners of Qiu Lingfeng's mouth curled up with a smile, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Are you complimenting me for being charming?"
Liu Ao shook his head and didn't speak.
Β·Β·Β·
The sky was about to dawn, and the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army woke up one after another, and early in the morning, someone wanted to talk to Liu Ao about things outside, but found that Liu Ao was not there.
"Captain, where's the step brothers?"
Qiu Lingfeng was wearing soft armor, sitting by the fire and munching on dry food, and he didn't reply when he heard the words:
"I left before dawn, why, in just one day, I gave birth to brotherhood?"
Everyone was disappointed, "Captain, Brother Bu said a lot to us yesterday, let's be special... SpecialΒ·Β· That's it~"
Qiu Lingfeng turned back helplessly, "What's that?"
"It just made us think about it a lot, for a long time. β
"Oh~"
Qiu Lingfeng suddenly became interested, "What did he say?"
The soldier buckled his head and thought for a while before his eyes lit up.
"The people above took advantage of the war between the two clans to develop their power, and they were still praised by others. β
"The people below shed their blood for their faith on the battlefield, but they were still trampled underfoot. β
The soldier nodded, "That's right, that's what he said. β
Qiu Lingfeng's pupils shrank, and he carefully recalled this sentence, and suddenly suddenly.
This sentence also happens to be Qiu Lingfeng's long-term emotion.
But she is Miss Qiu's family, and she has been exposed to a high level and has seen a lot of truths.
Who is that Bu Liuming? Could it be that he knows the secrets of the high-level of the Demon Suppression Army?
"What else did he say?"
Qiu Lingfeng's eyes widened, "Tell me honestly?"
A group of soldiers looked at each other, "He asked us to think about what we stayed in the Demon Suppression Army for, and whether it was worth it." β
"Have you figured it out?"
"Do you still need to think about this?" one soldier laughed, "Of course, it's to kill the demon clan and protect my human territory." β
"It's not, if it's not for this, who will come to this place to suffer~"
Hearing the laughter of these soldiers, Qiu Lingfeng couldn't laugh.
It's like Liu Ao's sentence - people who throw their blood for their beliefs are used as pawns by those high-ranking existences.
Qiu Lingfeng got up a little lost and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Β·Β·Β·
The defense line of the Valley of the Buried God stretched for dozens of miles and was divided into a thousand defense areas.
Each defense area is garrisoned by a team of 100 people, and the total strength of the entire defense line is about 100,000.
And the core of the defense line of the Valley of the Buried God is in the middle of the canyon.
Because here, the Valley of the Burial God seemed to have been slashed horizontally by a huge axe, and a gap of more than three hundred zhang long appeared.
The plain opposite the gap is the territory of the demon clan!
For hundreds of years, the generals in charge of the defense line of the Valley of the Buried Gods have been trying to plug the gap, but they have always been interrupted by the attacks of the demon clan again and again.
Obviously, the demon clan also knew that once the gap closed, it would be more difficult for them to break through the defenses here.
On the contrary, as long as the demon clan breaks into the gap, they can enter the Valley of the Burial God, disperse towards both ends, and when the time comes, climb to the side of the canyon, they can go deep into the territory of the human race.
In the past ten years, the demon clan has attacked this gap twenty-seven times, and this is also the place where the entire defense line of the Burial God Valley has taken the most battles and is the most heavily defended.
Therefore, every general personally sat here.
Liu Ao's destination is also here, because Li Wu is locked up here!
As the sun sets, the wild geese fly south.
When Liu Ao arrived, it was already the evening of the next day.
As Qiu Lingfeng said, Liu Ao's fake name is really fake.
Just like Liu Ao is afraid of cats, choosing a name is also a headache for Liu Ao.
Therefore, Liu Ao simply used a very interesting name - Li Hong.
A soldier enthusiastically led Liu Ao forward, and there were soldiers hurrying past him, obviously busy.
Suddenly, the soldier with Liu Ao shouted to a one-armed man:
"Captain, this Li Hong brother is a disciple of Jiuding Academy. β
Hearing this, the big man turned around, looked Liu Ao up and down, and said with a heroic smile:
"Brother Li Hong, I'm the squadron leader Iron Hammer. β
Liu Ao hugged his fists, "Fortunately." β
"I don't talk about that etiquette here," Iron Hammer waved his hand, "I'm very welcome to come, but even if you come, you still have to abide by the rules of our demon army." β
"There are some places where you can't go without permission, you can't leave the defense area without permission, and you can't have a holiday with the soldiers of our demon army. β
As soon as Liu Ao nodded, he saw a middle-aged man walking over quickly, kicked on the butt of the copper hammer, glared at his eyes and roared:
"Lao Tzu asked you to take someone to repair the gap, why don't you go?"
Copper Hammer smiled bitterly, "Brothers are too tired. β
"I know, but a mission is a mission!"
The middle-aged man looked at the sky, "Each squadron takes turns to send people, and it's your squadron today." β
As he spoke, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Ao, "Who is this kid?"
The brass hammer laughed:
"Jiuding Academy has come to practice. β
"Then take him with me to repair the gap," the middle-aged man turned to leave, and his muttering voice was heard:
"I came here to practice, and I don't know how my brain grows, and I think my life is long. β
Tong Hammer looked at Liu Ao with some embarrassment, "Brother Li Hong, don't mind, our captain's name is Lei Chong, and it's usually like this, just a knife mouth and a tofu heart." β
"Let's go, I'll take you to the gap and have a look, I don't need you to do it. β
Liu Ao nodded, the name Lei Chong was like thunder, and the soldiers in the entire Burial God Valley defense line, I am afraid that no one knows his name.
Liu Ao is no exception, he has known this short-tempered captain for a long time.
As for how short-tempered it is~
Just because a three-eyed copper-winged eagle flew to the defense line and walked around, Lei Chong infiltrated the demon clan domain with one hundred and ten elites, and wiped out the three-eyed copper-winged eagle, a group of less than a thousand demons left.
In Lei Chong's words, the reasons are:
It flew all the way to look at me, isn't that a provocation?
Β·Β·Β·
When Liu Ao came to the gap, he was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.
Although he had been in the Burial God Valley Defense Area for ten years, Liu Ao was here for the first time.
At the gap, thousands of people under the copper hammer are busy and busy.
There were dozens of soldiers standing on the backs of the ten-foot-tall red-eyed demon elephants, one pulling a whip that flashed white light.
Once the red-eyed demon elephant was disobedient, the demon tamer whipped down, and instantly hit a bloody mouth the thickness of an arm, which made the demon elephant roar continuously.
Dozens of demon elephants were tied with thigh-thick iron cables, and at the end there was a huge tray with huge stones piled on it.
"Two more carts of stones!"
"It's coming!"
"The cliffs on the east side were hollowed out, and the others went to the west side. β
The sound was noisy and noisy, and everyone was constantly busy.
There are soldiers who control the powerful demon apes and build these boulders together.
More than a dozen array mages stood at both ends of the gap, using the formation to turn into huge nets and firmly hold these huge stones together.
From a distance, the air was full of staggered formations, and on the ground were dense figures and tamed demon beasts.
This scene is really macroscopic.
The copper hammer walked bare-chested to a two-person high boulder, revealing a body of stone-like muscles and dense scars, and the broken left arm looked extremely hideous.
But when he saw that he was holding the lower edge of the boulder with one arm, and the light in his hand flashed, and with a low roar, the stone was overturned by him.
"Brother Li Hong, just take a look at it, don't run around. β
After saying this, the copper hammer continued to get busy.
Liu Ao was stunned for a moment, put the sword of Ao behind his back, and moved some small stones half a person high.
