A ray of light came in, Ding Xu squinted his eyes slightly, and then opened them wide.
"Ah You!"
He stood up suddenly, turned around and tried to escape, but he didn't realize there was no other way out of the hut. The girl stepped forward and reached out to grab his wrist.
Ding Xu opened his mouth to speak when someone outside said: "Miss Yu, are you here? Have you found it?"
Ding Xu felt his pulse tighten and his whole body felt cold. The girl said in his ear: "Don't make trouble, be quiet."
A young man with a stern face came in from the door. Seeing that the girl had already grabbed a strange young man, he relaxed a little and said, "Miss Jade, have you found it?"
Miss Jade smiled and said: "I found it, Brother Ouyang. Look, this is the hostage."
Ouyang Zhou didn't take a closer look. Anyway, the bandits and the hostages were all disguised as frontline soldiers. He couldn't do anything to them. He still took a step forward dutifully and announced: "Fellow, it's okay. The bandits are all here." I ran away and you were saved."
Ding Xu chuckled: "I have to save someone..."
Then I felt a heat, and an internal force came in from the pulse gate and traveled around my body, making my whole body feel warm. This internal force is quite orderly, and only moves around briefly before stopping. However, if the owner of the internal force uses a little more force, it may lose control and rush into the heart, with disastrous consequences.
In an instant, his life was in someone's hands. Ding Xu knew this was a warning, so he had to shut up and cheer secretly. Miss Jade smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, you'll be safe if you just follow me."
Ouyang Zhou had already searched the cottage and found only some supplies of dry food and a magic bag originally stored in the cottage for transporting food. It could hold a lot of things and was quite valuable. He handed the bag to Miss Yu and said: " this is for you."
Miss Jade smiled sweetly and said, "I'll take it first. Both of our things can be put in it."
Ding Xu looked at the expressions and movements of the two people and curled his lips, but since he had already fallen into his hands, he naturally had nothing else to say and followed the two people down the mountain.
The three of them went down the mountain and came to the mountain pass. Miss Yu pressed Ding Xu on her horse, meaning that they wanted to ride together. Ouyang Zhou was slightly surprised and said, "Isn't this inconvenient? Let him get on my horse."
Miss Jade chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm lighter, and he won't crush the horse. Otherwise, how can one horse ride two big men?"
Ouyang Zhou hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. He saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him. Two horses came running towards him first. Looking from a distance, he saw that there were hundreds of monsters of all kinds chasing after him.
One of the knights on the horse saw someone here and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! There is a puppet coming."
Ouyangzhou said loudly: "Qin Yongcheng?"
Immediately afterwards, he saw Qin Yongcheng's situation clearly - the two of them were being chased by a hundred puppets, and the situation was already extremely critical. Although their horses were fine horses, they were already exhausted and were about to be overtaken.
Ouyangzhou shouted without hesitation: "Qin Yongcheng, come over here!"
When Qin Yongcheng turned around and saw Ouyang Zhou, he laughed and said, "Don't be stupid. You still have a girl."
Ouyang Zhou shouted: "We have a good location here and a way to escape. Where else do you want to run?"
Behind them is Bandit's Mountain. It is called a mountain, but it is a pile of bare boulders. The mountain walls go straight up and down. It is very steep, comparable to a devil's city in the desert.
How about saying that the robbers are fake? This place has no water, no food, and no birds lay eggs. If the bandits build a stronghold here, don't they expect to starve to death?
Qin Yongcheng also saw the advantage there, hesitated for a moment, and then rode over.
Ouyang Zhou said to Miss Yu: "You..."
Miss Jade smiled and said, "Of course I will follow Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang Zhou said: "Okay, then let this person go. He is not a candidate, so he should do whatever he needs to do."
Miss Jade said in a casual tone: "He should follow us. Otherwise, if these puppets randomly separate out to chase him, wouldn't they risk his life?"
Ouyang Zhou nodded. Although it was a bit annoying to see the hostage's handsome appearance and Miss Jade holding him tightly, it was not the time to care about it at this time. He asked Miss Jade to lead the two horses first and lead the others first. Hidden behind him, he met Qin Yongcheng on the spot.
Qin Yongcheng and Feng Ling ran over and successfully joined Ouyang Zhou. Ouyang Zhou said hurriedly: "Follow me, I'm familiar with this place."
Although it is a fake village, in order to increase the difficulty of the exam, the fortifications are not bad at all. Once the suspension bridge in front is raised, the village walls are high, the traps are deep, and the iron bars are stacked on top of each other to prevent horses, but ordinary skills cannot climb through them. Come.
But some of the puppets behind were tall and might be able to push them straight in. Ouyang Zhou didn't dare to stop in front. He led them to the back village and reached a pass that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Just stopped.
Qin Yongcheng and the others dismounted and sat on the ground, panting from exhaustion. Ouyang Zhou leaned in front of a pillar of a sentry stilt building and said, "What's going on with you? Where did those messy things come from?"
Qin Yongcheng told the story, and explained how the two of them worked so hard to escape before they got here, and said: "We are still chasing and escaping here, but the valley behind should already be a decisive battle for the group. There must be someone in the talisman bush. The powerful puppet is sitting in the middle, and this is also the tacit approval of the examiner. Mr. Tang probably doesn't like the small team's slapstick, and wants to play a real legion battle. It's just that we are separated from the large army, but we have lost the opportunity for a real decisive battle."
Ouyang Zhou said: "It's a bit like that. I didn't expect that Tang Jiaoyu didn't teach military strategy, but he liked to arrange big scenes." He patted Qin Yongcheng and said, "Don't worry, your performance will definitely be noticed by Tang Jiaoyu. Grand Army Not everyone has to charge into the battle, scouts, suspects, cover, and interception, every part is important. Your role is not important? Even Tang Jiaoyu can see it."
This means that Tang Zhaocai loves to play again. Qin Yongcheng hurriedly changed the subject and said: "It would be great if I could escape without you Ouyang. What else can I say about my performance? By the way, that cute girl next to you is not our classmate, right? Who is she?" At this point, he He winked and showed a "you know" look.
If anyone else had asked this question, he might have blushed or tried to cover it up in a hurry, but Ouyang Zhou was a cold face and never blushed. He just said at the moment: "This is a good friend I met on the road, Yun Zhongyu." .”
Qin Yongcheng rarely relaxed from the tense atmosphere, and smiled: "What a good name, a good person, and a good name. He is still a 'good friend'. He is really good everywhere."
Ouyang Zhou asked: "Who is this friend of yours?"
Qin Yongcheng said: "My old friend in Jing'an Division, my childhood friend Feng Ling, was originally from Lingzhou. Later he came to Yunzhou to escape bandits. He and I were neighbors for several years. In the past few years, we went our separate ways. I thought it would be difficult to meet again in the future, but today we actually met again."
He and Feng Ling were not like Ouyang Zhou and Yun Zhongyu, who met by chance and had nothing to introduce except their names. They were real old friends who knew each other well and trusted each other, so they told their history clearly. The reason why he said so much was to show that Feng Ling was trustworthy.
When Ouyang Zhou heard about Jing'an Division, his expression showed no emotion. Instead, he nodded and said, "So Brother Feng is also from Jing'an Division? So is Miss Yu. Jing'an Division really produces talented people and beauties."
Feng Ling frowned and said, "What? She is Jing'an Division, but..."
But with a "boom", a watchtower in the front village had been knocked down.
Looking from a distance, the huge talisman puppet figure swept over like a whirlwind, turning everything it went into dust.
A few people couldn't care less about chatting, they jumped up one after another and shouted: "Here we come!"
At this time, several horses were still resting nearby. The few people tacitly ignored the horses and turned back to the wall of the mountain village. It was safer for the horses to stay behind.
Just as he ran along the wall to the front, he saw Yun Zhongyu running over and said loudly: "Don't go to the front. Artificial fortifications can't stop the big guy. Only natural rocks can block it. Let's withdraw and go to the back. "
Behind the cottage is a "stone forest" that goes straight up and down, which is the core complex of the "Devil City". Several people hurriedly ran to the stone wall and saw that the stronghold had been flattened. The giant golem is driving in.
A group of five people stood on the stone wall together, looking at each other. Although we each have our own thoughts and completely different positions, we are now truly comrades in the trenches.
Seeing more than a hundred puppets getting closer and closer, a few people were lying on the boulder without saying a word, but it was Ding Xu who said first: "Guys, let's run away first? Should we stay here and wait to die?"
Others ignored him, which seemed to indicate that he did not do well in school. Ouyang Zhou thought that he was just a hostage and had never gone to school, so he explained briefly: "It's a plain when we go out. There are no obstacles or dangers. There are more of them than we have. They are faster and we can't escape. It's better to take advantage of the situation." Land on the ground and take a risk."
Ding Xu said: "How to bet? That big guy has bulldozed the wall. If you are swordsmen, you have one sword for each sword, but aren't you just knights? Are you a swordsman?" He looked at Yun Zhongyu.
Yun Zhongyu said: "I'm not a swordsman, but I can definitely fight. After all, we have a favorable location."
Ouyang Zhou hummed. He had learned the art of war well and thought: "When we attacked the village before, we saw a few dead ends. That should be the key. We divide these guys into several parts and introduce them into the dead ends respectively. Can they get out? Come on, naturally we can’t join together, so we can divide and conquer.”
Yun Zhongyu said: "The key is the big guy. The other talisman puppets are okay. I tried it, but I couldn't cut the big guy with my magic weapon. I can only move around slowly, so I have to lure them away and lead them to different places." Go into a dead end. Then we can concentrate on dealing with one, and it will be much easier."
Ouyang Zhou said: "This big guy is indeed powerful, but isn't it essentially a talisman puppet? It is made of the talisman. As long as the talisman is destroyed, it will become a pile of scrap metal."
Yun Zhongyu praised: "Brother Ouyang is so smart..."
Qin Yongcheng said bitterly: "Guys, there is a problem here - these puppets are controlled by puppets. They will not easily divide their troops, and they can be easily lured into dead ends. Even if they enter dead ends, they will turn around. I'm afraid it's not a plan to easily Or so."
Yun Zhongyu was startled and said: "But I just tried to seduce it, that is, an ordinary talisman puppet. It was stupid and followed my bait and left. Why can't it be seduced?"
Qin Yongcheng was stunned, then suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right! There is only one such powerful puppet. It followed the large army. Aren't the ones who are left chasing me just scraps of metal?"
After thinking about this, his morale was greatly boosted, he stood up and said, "Okay, let's tear down this junk together!"
