Chapter 219: Lurking
The old city lord woke up from his sleep and found that he and his daughter were lying on the table. Hongfeng had a blanket on his back, while Hongyao had his butt on the stool, his face on the ground, and his saliva kept spreading.
The ground was in a mess and there were vomited pickled things.
The old city lord hissed, and after knocking his head, he stood up holding his forehead. However, as soon as he stood up, he felt a surge in his chest.
Then he vomited all over the floor with a loud sound.
The usually powerful old city lord vomited into a mess and had no image at all.
"Dad..." Hongfeng woke up and noticed the blanket on her back. She was holding a corner of it with her bare hands, feeling a little strange. Then she suddenly realized and looked at her father who was wiping his mouth.
She also held her forehead and found a letter on the table, and the old city lord also found it after vomiting. The father and daughter looked at each other.
Hongfeng picked up the letter, with several large characters scrawled on it.
——"You are really good at drinking. I took you away."
Signed Yaoyun.
Hongfeng looked at her father at a loss, only to see her father's face sullen. He raised his fist to hit the table, but finally put it down.
"You brat, huh, that's all. You can't drink as much as others... I lose, old man."
The old city lord stood up, stretched, walked towards the tree hole, and kicked his son's raised butt.
The red coat screamed and woke up from his sleep.
He was confused, with a mouthful of mud, and shouted sleepily like a fool: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Hongfeng glanced at him with hatred, and then looked at her father who was stopping in the tree hole.
"Red maple."
"My daughter is here."
"Do you want to go to the human race?"
Hongfeng was startled, her face showed joy at first, and then became complicated... She had indeed longed for the prosperous human race for a long time. Unfortunately, in the past few years, there had been constant friction on the human-monster border, and because of the policies of the new demon emperor, there were many old and new grudges to settle together. a feeling of.
Originally, some demons who could manifest themselves as adults were able to enter and exit the human realm. However, recent border frictions have led to the interruption of mutual trade and exchanges, and many demons have been expelled or even killed.
Now entering the territory of the human race has to be said to be a risky act.
"Yao Yun took away my clan's sacred stone. No matter whether he is the benefactor of our rotten forest or not, the sacred stone should never fall into the hands of a human... I will ask the tree god to give me green leaves that can cover my aura."
Hongfeng couldn't help but said: "Father, do you want me to take the sacred stone back?"
"No, the divine stone has a spirit. You can do the best you can. If you can't do it, you will never force it. But we must at least control the information about the whereabouts of the divine stone. If the divine stone falls into the hands of humans with ulterior motives, we will be in ruins. He is a sinner, and I, Hong Tianlin, am also the eternal sinner of the demon clan."
The old city lord's hoarse voice continued to say in a low voice: "I know that although you and Yaoyun are incompatible on the surface, they still have a friendship. I asked you to be a Mingzi and place it next to him... He shouldn't embarrass you. .”
Hongfeng showed a strange color: "Should..."
The old city lord sighed: "It's my father who is incompetent, otherwise he wouldn't have put you in danger... Feng'er, I'm begging you -"
"ah?"
The old city lord suddenly turned around and knelt down, scaring Hongfeng so much that he rushed to help him. Even though he was still drunk, Hongyao was frightened.
They had never seen their old father so humble.
Hongfeng cried and hugged her father and said, "Dad... I promise you, please get up, okay? You get up."
The old city lord couldn't help but burst into tears again.
"I'm old, this rotten forest belongs to you young people."
The red coat stood aside, sobbing.
——
Yaoyun, no, it should be the young man who has regained his identity as Youchuiyun. He led a group of remnant soldiers and took the tattered weapons that came from them. They hid during the day and marched at night, and just walked five hundred miles.
At this moment they are hiding in the valley.
This group of remnant soldiers was actually a scout of the regiment guarding the southern border. There were originally 700 people, but after some disasters, only 200 were left.
But the remaining two hundred people are a group of surviving veterans, the elites among the elites. Although their faces are exhausted, they are also full of hope of living.
Originally, they were in the prison of Fu Lin, that eerie dark hell... They were either buried in feces or soaked in smelly water every day, that kind of inhuman torture - they thought they would never see the sun again.
And this You Chuiyun, who claimed to be Nantianmen Cun Jinfeng, appeared with almost empty hands, but no demon clan dared to stop him, so he just entered the prison and released them.
At that moment You Chuiyun was their savior.
The commander of this scout was killed in battle, and the deputy commander was also buried in horse leather - so Centurion Limu, a highly respected old officer, was temporarily elected as commander.
At this moment, Li Mu was holding a bowl of unknown things to Yu Chuiyun, who was looking at the topographic map of mountains and rivers with a sullen eyebrow.
"Young Master, please rest for a while and eat something to replenish your strength."
You Chuiyun took his mind off the map, smiled, and suddenly lost color when he saw the bowl.
I saw fat white maggots as thick as thumbs floating in the hot bowl.
However, as a descendant of the medical sage, You Chuiyun, who was familiar with medicinal scriptures, quickly recognized the insect.
"Mealworms?"
"Young hero has extraordinary knowledge."
This temporarily elected commander was also wearing a tattered military uniform. He didn't look like an official at all, and he was as miserable as a beggar.
Li Mu said with a bitter face: "Young hero, we are in the wilderness here, and the brothers don't have any food on them. It's hard to find these things. I sent a dozen people to dig up the rotten wood to find just a few of them?"
You Chuiyun glanced back and saw that the soldiers were all sallow and thin, chewing bark in their hands or other things that could only temporarily satisfy their hunger and were difficult to swallow, while their starving eyes kept looking at Commander You Chuiyun. Yun glanced this way.
It seems that this bowl of mealworms that he disliked is now regarded as a delicacy by them.
Even this strange smell became a scent that smelled better to the hungry soldiers' noses than rice noodles and steamed buns.
Every bit of laughter came out.
You Chuiyun sighed. He pushed away Li Mu's bowl. Without saying anything, he stood up and walked into the jungle.
Li Mu was at a loss as he held the bowl.
At this time, a veteran who was relatively close to him came up, but kept looking at the bowl, and said: "Young Shaoxia... he doesn't want to eat... then... then..."
Li Mu knocked his hand off and scolded: "He just doesn't want to eat now. He will accept it. People who are hungry will eat anything."
The veteran took back the beaten hand angrily and rubbed it twice.
"Oh, I'm afraid...it won't taste good when it gets cold."
But now a group of soldiers saw that You Chuiyun refused to eat, and they all came together.
"Boss Li, the young hero won't eat it, so why don't we share it?"
"Yes, yes, boss, I just want to taste something."
Li Mu protected the bowl, and his eyebrows almost stood up: "No! It doesn't matter what you guys eat. Without the young hero, how can we get out alive? We have been eaten by those big monsters long ago, and no bones and dregs are left."
Li Mu recalled the heart-stopping scenes during his escape, when those terrifying monsters blocked his way.
But You Chuiyun, who seemed to be just a young man, faced it bravely, and as if he was being persuaded, all the big monsters tried to reason with him - and left?
Can you still be reasonable?
Li Mu feels that the war he has fought for so many years has really been in vain. Can the emotional demon clan be rationalized?
He himself felt his scalp numb when he thought of the unbelievable and fantasy-like scenes.
After a while, birds suddenly started to fly in the forest.
Li Mu yelled that he was hostile, and all the soft-handed soldiers jumped up. Although everyone's face was ugly, the fierceness of having experienced many battles had appeared on their faces.
They bent slightly and formed a team of several people, looking for favorable terrain such as being on high ground to rely on.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the frightened birds in the forest.
At Limu's feet was the bowl of overturned mealworms. The veteran sneaked down, picked up a few random ones from the ground and stuffed them into his mouth.
Li Mu turned around and glanced at the veteran mercilessly, his eyes full of speechlessness.
But the veteran didn't seem to be aware of it. The kabakaba was chewing deliciously in his mouth, and the juice burst out of his mouth.
"coming!"
Li Mu suddenly fell into a deep voice, his whole body was like a leopard ready to attack, and the long knife in his hand flashed out.
I saw a wild boar suddenly leaping out of the forest.
Then came a group of wild boars of the same size, squawking and rushing out.
You Chuiyun chased out from behind the wild boar herd. He was carrying a big wild boar like a millstone on his shoulders. He shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing still? The food is here!"
Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up and he was very excited. If they could eat these wild boars, maybe they could really get out of this dense forest.
Li Mu put down his knife, opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting a pig in the eye. The wild boar howled and knocked down a group of its kind.
Li Mu was indeed a veteran. The other people's arrows hit the thick wild boar skin, unable to kill the wild boar at all.
When You Chuiyun saw that this group of big-headed soldiers couldn't cope with it, he gritted his teeth and flew up. He stepped on the wild boar's head at a very fast speed and ran to the front of the wild boar herd.
He turned his back so that all the soldiers could not see him.
He took out the sacred stone in his arms and waved it in front of the wild boars.
All the wild boars suddenly stopped and left a heavy mark on the soil.
"Kill the duck!"
While the wild boars were stunned, You Chuiyun rushed out first, stabbing the wild boars with a loud bang in his hand, killing the wild boars until they howled.
A group of veterans screamed with red eyes and rushed forward with knives to chop at random, until the blades of the incomplete weapons were curled up.
The wild boar was immediately cut into pieces, its body parts flying everywhere.
The veteran hugged the raw meat and almost gnawed it down, but was slapped to the ground by Li Mu.
"Are you crazy about hunger? As long as you cook it and eat it, do you want to die?"
Kuruki remained conscious.
