The short distance of one street has become the dividing line between life and death.
One by one, the Immortal Guards turned around without hesitation to block the insect tide, and were then submerged.
The building with the red lantern hanging at the door was finally in sight. Among the Xianyuan Guards beside Lu Ye, only Yu Qing was left. Her spirit body showed an abnormal translucent state, and it was clearly on the verge of dissipating. .
At the last moment, she grabbed Lu Ye's shoulders and threw him away, shouting: "Hide in quickly!"
In mid-air, the Panshan Sword slashed out, and the green blood of two insectoids like locusts fell.
Lu Ye landed in front of the building. He turned around and saw that Yu Qing could no longer be seen. Behind him was only the overwhelming torrent of Zerg chasing after him.
He quickly pushed open the door, rushed into the building, and closed the door with his backhand. Then, there was a fierce sound of Zerg attacking outside.
But after all, it is a building endowed with special power of protection, so no matter how the Zerg attack, it is impossible to break it.
Lu Ye's fists were clenched, his face was gloomier than ever before, and the grief deep in his heart made him feel indescribable pain.
We haven't spent much time together with Yu Qing and others, and our friendship can only be regarded as a chance encounter at best, not even at the level of friends.
But all the Immortal Guards were able to protect him at the last moment and lost their lives. If it weren't for the help of those Immortal Guards to escort him, Lu Ye thought that he would never be able to escape from this stronghold.
Thinking about it carefully, I just gave the butcher half a bottle of soul-washing water before. How can I let these immortal guards trust me with their lives?
The attack from the Zerg outside was still fierce, and a street away, more intense fighting sounds continued to be heard. It was obvious that the Butcher was fighting fiercely with the Zerg from the Divine Sea Realm.
Until a certain moment, the fighting suddenly subsided.
Lu Ye's heart tightened.
He didn't know the outcome of this battle, whether the butcher won or lost.
Just as he was thinking this, the noisy Zerg outside suddenly became more lively, and the unique neighing sound of the Zerg kept coming.
Lu Ye seemed to realize something, and quickly looked through the crack in the door. He saw many Zerg gathering in a certain area on the street in front of the door. In that area, there were constant flashes of sword light, and each Zerg was on the sharp side. Turned into pieces in the light of the sword.
Immediately afterwards, the fat figure of the butcher came out and quickly came to the door. Lu Ye quickly opened the door, and the butcher stepped in.
After he came in, Lu Ye closed the door again, and the outside became lively again.
"Are you the only one?" The butcher looked around and suddenly asked.
Lu Ye lowered his head: "Seniors who were covering my way back... all died in battle!"
The butcher seemed to see the guilt in his heart and chuckled: "If I don't protect you, they won't live much longer. If they die, they will die. Don't take it to heart, they..." Before he finished speaking, the butcher paused. , a meaningful expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he changed the topic: "Since you survived, then live well and don't let them down."
Lu Ye was silent, feeling heavier than ever before.
The butcher stepped forward and handed over the boning knife in his hand: "I leave this to you, be sure to keep it safe."
Lu Ye was stunned, looked up, his face changed drastically: "Senior?"
The butcher sat down cross-legged and sighed: "I'm a little tired. Take a rest. Don't worry."
As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and his almost transparent body disappeared in a burst of distortion. The boning knife in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Although he won the battle just now, it was a miserable victory. He tried to hold on and returned here, but he couldn't hold on anymore.
Looking at the place where the butcher's figure disappeared, Lu Ye was speechless.
He didn't know what kind of beliefs were supporting these Xianyuan Guards, but he learned from the few conversations with Yu Qing and others that they had been maintaining this kind of war for thousands of years. The constant fierce battles gave these Immortal Origin Guards the idea that death was liberation.
Liu Datong, Yu Qing, and the Xianyuan Guards whose names Lu Ye could not name, did not show any fear at the last moment of their lives.
They are never afraid of death.
I don't know how long it took before Lu Ye stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the place where the butcher disappeared. Then he picked up the boning knife and put it into his storage space.
Immediately, he found a place to sit down cross-legged, swallowed the elixir and recovered his body.
The Butcher Team has been wiped out, but their mission has not yet been completed. Even out of memory and respect, Lu Ye wants to carry out the original mission for them and wipe out the Zerg in this area.
He also had a lot of injuries on his body, which were all left when he broke out before. These injuries were difficult to recover from. Originally, he could have borrowed the soul-cleansing water, but the last soul-cleansing water he had given to the butcher.
However, he still has the energy to fight, as long as he is careful not to consume his soul power.
As he sensed it, five of his Zerg team were still alive, and the other two were killed by other Zerg in the previous chaos.
With five Zerg, plus myself, as long as we are careful enough, it shouldn't be a problem to complete the mission for the Butcher Team, as long as we don't encounter Zerg from the Divine Sea Realm again.
However, it is not easy to encounter Zerg in the Divine Sea Realm. This encounter is purely coincidental. Such powerful Zerg are usually located close to the city lord's palace.
The noise outside gradually calmed down, and the previous laughter and hilarity disappeared in the stronghold. Only silence flowed.
After resting for two hours, Lu Ye stood up and looked out through the crack in the door. There were not many Zerg scattered nearby, and five of them were controlled by his own subordinates.
With a thought in his mind, he gave the order to the five Zerg, controlling them to move closer to the nearby Zerg.
The moment Lu Ye opened the door, all the Zerg in the field of vision were alarmed. Driven by instinct, the Zerg rushed towards this side.
However, the killing had already started, and when the five controlled Zerg broke out and attacked, the vitality disappeared in an instant.
Lu Ye's figure turned into an afterimage and rushed forward. The Panshan sword was unsheathed and slashed out with a crescent-shaped blade. The Zerg rushing towards him fell into a row in an instant.
He did not control the noise of the battle, and even deliberately made a loud noise to attract the nearby Zerg.
There is a stronghold where he can hide next to him. If something goes wrong, he will rush back immediately. In this way, he can ensure his own safety.
More and more Zerg were attracted, and the battlefield was littered with broken Zerg limbs. A little bit of golden light drifted towards the back of Lu Ye's hands from all directions, but he had no time to check the increase in his combat achievements. There was only one thought in his mind. , kill all the Zerg in your sight!
This battle ended after an hour, and Lu Ye dragged his exhausted body back to the stronghold to recuperate.
Outside the door, five enslaved Zerg quietly guarded.
Half a day later, the door was opened again, and Lu Ye walked out. Although he had tried not to use the power of his soul during the battle, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and many times he was involuntarily.
Compared with before this battle, Lu Ye was undoubtedly weaker, but this weakness was only a weakness in his soul and did not affect the performance of his strength.
He dodged and landed on the back of the Spider Zerg, activating the concealment and breath-condensing spiritual patterns. Under Lu Ye's order, the five Zerg moved forward in the direction of the next stronghold.
Lu Ye only knew that the mission of the Butcher Team was to wipe out all the Zerg in this area, but he didn't know how big this area was.
The only thing that can be determined is that the scope of the suppression is from the inside to the outside, so it is correct to point outside the city.
He originally walked from the periphery of the city to the middle, but now he has to go back again. It's really unpredictable.
Fortunately, the further to the periphery, the lower the average strength of the Zerg is.
Every time he finds a stronghold, Lu Ye will first check the surroundings to see if there are any too powerful Zerg. If there are any, he will attack them with his own Zerg team. If not, he will attack them directly in front of the stronghold. Make a noise and attract all the nearby Zerg species.
Fighting alone is undoubtedly very boring. Previously, the Butcher led the team and destroyed everything along the way. Wherever they passed, the Zerg had little power to resist, but now everything could only rely on themselves, and Lu Ye felt the pressure.
Fortunately, there is merit in killing insects.
Resting again and again, killing enemies again and again...
Outside every stronghold, there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. Lu Ye didn't know how many Zerg he had killed. He only knew that his combat achievements were approaching the 200,000 mark.
As his body became weaker and weaker, Lu Ye had a vague feeling that he might not be able to complete the task for Butcher and the others, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
At a certain moment, he reached the edge of the city.
Looking around, thick fog rolled in front, isolating the entire city.
Looking at the thick fog, Lu Ye couldn't help but have a familiar feeling. Every time he entered the mirage realm, the monsters rushed out of this thick fog.
He was also very curious about what was in the thick fog, so he once went deep into it to investigate. Unfortunately, he was attacked and killed inexplicably before he could go far.
He didn't expect that there was such a thick fog outside Xianyuan City. What would it be like if he walked in?
Lu Ye quickly gave up his thoughts. Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he walked into this thick fog, he was certain that the end would not be any better. It would be better to stay in Xianyuan City honestly. .
He changed direction and led his Zerg team to the side, continuing the mission of eradicating the Zerg.
The streets were cleared one by one, and all the Zerg species were killed wherever they passed.
Lu Ye's body is getting weaker and weaker, and has become translucent. Although he will rest after every battle, the consumption of the power of the soul still makes him feel a little groggy, and there is something in his heart every moment. A thought came to mind, close your eyes and have a good sleep, no matter what happens. (To be continued)
