The white cocoon stood in the charred blood mud, looking out of place and conspicuous.
But everything on the battlefield is quietly changing. Just like the snow that originally covered the battlefield, white mold is gradually growing and spreading. Blood mud and ashes are the best breeding ground for these molds.
"thereupon--"
There was a subtle sound, as hard to detect as a whisper when the sky was covered with heavy snow, and a fine crack opened on the white cocoon.
Then, the surface of the cocoon suddenly broke open, and the cracks were still stained with sticky threads. A white and slender arm stretched out from the cocoon and pushed the cocoon open.
What emerged from the white eggshell-like cocoon was Odu, who was kneeling on his knees and seemed to be unresponsive. A naked fair-skinned girl wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind him, hanging on his back like a lover.
It's the medicinal cocoon.
The girl in the medicine cocoon whose legs exploded and was burned into bones by the fire is now rebuilt by the growth of mycelium, and she is hugging Odu's back in good health.
The white hyphae on the surface of her body gradually hardened in the winter wind, and slowly became like skin. Under the pale skin, dark green blood vessels like emeralds could still be vaguely seen.
"That's what the medicine cocoon looks like. The venom is her flesh and blood, which was purely cultivated by Gongsun Changzheng as a weapon."
Jiang Keyin was talking next to him, and Han Dongwen just nodded silently after listening.
Even though the regeneration in Odu is still taking place, he himself has completely stopped moving.
The leader of the Fourth Knights of the Western Principality's Episcopal Church, "Temperance" Odu Tully, was finally captured.
The sky is already white.
The biting cold wind struggled to blow away the embers of the battlefield, and the black smoke from the poisonous burning dissipated into the deep night sky in a short time. The battlefield that was originally like a pool of blood was now filled with the spread of white fungi.
After a while, these saprophytic fungi will die in the severe cold, turn into soil again, and be buried in the white snow.
The medicine cocoon is like a human-shaped shackle, tightly binding Odu's movements. From the flow of blood vessels under her fair skin, it can be seen that the venom in her body is constantly being injected into Odu's body through the connected skin. .
If it is eternal life, then it will keep repeating death.
This is Gongsun Changzheng's solution.
Gongsun Changzheng walked up to Aodu and Yaoyu with his hands behind his back. He raised his hand with satisfaction and rubbed the girl's hair.
"Very good, very good hehehehe——"
This is a technique he has never seen before. If he can study it, he may be able to improve the medicine cocoon to a higher level.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded:
"Lord Gongsun, this is a rare opportunity, won't you take the initiative to report to His Highness?"
Whose voice is this?
Han Dongwen was stunned for a moment, thinking that this voice had never been heard before on this battlefield, but it was somewhat familiar, and he immediately realized it.
Yes, I can see this picture only because of Jiang Keyin, which is equivalent to the function of a camera.
But someone has to hold the camera.
The pawn holding the camera was obviously not of high status, and he thought he was reporting to Duan Qingzhu. However, as the battle situation escalated, it was clear that the pawn could not survive on this battlefield.
Who is holding this "camera" now?
It was not difficult to guess the owner of the voice. His voice was immature, but it could be hidden in this battlefield without being affected. It also made Han Dongwen feel familiar to very few people.
As the screen moved, Liu Cheng's figure, which looked like a seven or eight-year-old boy, appeared in Han Dongwen's field of vision.
"Liu Cheng."
Unexpectedly, but within reason, Han Dongwen was not too surprised. He just nodded and asked jokingly: "The Department of National Law and the Department of National Finance are suddenly so close?"
"Whatever your Highness is saying, Lord Liu Cheng is willing to help in order to give His Highness more control over the battle situation."
Jiang Keyin answered like this, but Han Dongwen also knew that if he just listened to this, there must be something wrong with his sincerity.
I control the battle situation, and you control Tantai Ming, that's fine too.
Han Dongwen was thinking this, Gongsun Changzheng had already walked to Liu Cheng's side, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully:
"Your Highness, the enemy general has been captured. Fortunately, the old minister has lived up to his command, so he will escort the enemy general and imprison him."
"You guys did a great job."
Han Dongwen answered subconsciously, but there was no reaction from the other party. Only then did he realize that the communication between this puppet did not seem to be two-way. Otherwise, Jiang Keyin would not be so confident in revealing his identity as Duan Qingzhu in front of Liu Cheng.
After Gongsun Changzheng finished his report, Liu Cheng took over and said:
"Master Tantai Ming has been chasing the Grand Duke for a long time. I will go to check now. If Master Tantai Ming falls into a hard battle again, I will definitely help you. Your Highness, don't worry."
The picture became hazy and blurry, and the outline of his study room was reflected again.
After realizing that he had returned to reality, Han Dongwen looked at Jiang Keyin subconsciously: "How about it, can your body still bear it this time?"
Jiang Keyin was stunned, but she didn't expect that Han Dongwen's first sentence was this, and then he said softly: "It's okay, thank you for your concern... Lord Gongsun will probably want to study it after he escorts the knight back, and I'll look back to your highness then." I can grant you permission.”
"no problem."
Han Dongwen nodded. Why did Audu become like this? There were more stages than before. He only knew that these were related to the Holy Grail of Western Asia. He had no clue about the specifics.
If Gongsun Changzheng can research something, why not do it.
"Just don't kill or maim the person. His medical cocoon should also take a rest."
Jiang Keyin nodded and replied: "Medicine cocoon is originally one of Gongsun Changzheng's magic techniques. Everyone in the Fa Department has also seen it. It is such a lifeless thing and will not be broken so easily."
Her original intention was to tell His Highness that the Chief Justice could continue to do things and take care of the cocoon, but it made Han Dongwen, who once regarded Gongsun Xue as one of his wives, feel a little uncomfortable.
Han Dongwen coughed twice and said, "Would it be better if he had a name for his medical cocoon?"
Jiang Keyin was silent for a moment and then spoke wisely:
"Please give me your name, Your Highness."
Han Dongwen looked at Jiang Keyin and sighed softly:
"Let's make fun of today's Bailan Mountain scene and call him Gongsun Xue."
"Gongsun Xue?"
Jiang Keyin didn't say anything more and just nodded: "When Master Gongsun returns to Siyang, I will definitely greet His Highness and say thank you."
————————
In front of the pass, the road goes down the mountain.
The convoy of the Knights escorting the huge ice sealing Tilda, as well as the Chaste Knights responsible for the escort, had fallen into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
A small number of corpses came from Simeng's border army. They surrounded the pass from the west. Without a general at the level of a lieutenant, they relied on a few hundred cavalry generals at the head of the battle to slow down the Chaste Knights with their lives. pace.
The death state of their corpses was quite horrifying, as if they had been mummified, all turned into skin and bones.
Most of the corpses came from the teaching soldiers of the Chaste Knights. The Weaver Beast and the angry Tantai Ming were like the gods of death harvesting lives. They struck without mercy, like a storm of fangs and claws sweeping across the border, leaving only a piece of corpse behind. messy.
Among the fallen instructors, giant beasts, and scattered transport vehicles, Tantai Ming looked down at the woman who fell in front of him with disdain.
The leader of the Sixth Knights, "Chaste" Isabella Hannah.
At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her skin was covered with wounds, her flesh and blood were blurred, and she was already dying.
"Why……"
Blood flowed from the nun's lips, and her eyes stared at Tantai Ming unwillingly: "...Why? My Lord's oracle power is supreme, why is it useless to you!"
Tantai Ming frowned and squatted down, slapped the nun on the cheek impatiently, and pointed to the huge ice seal beside Tilda: "Where are there so many? Why, if you want to die quickly, , just tell me how to melt this piece of ice!"
