Liumu fell down, blood gushing from his chest, and he seemed to have died. Ningshuang slowly pulled out the blood jade knife, but the resentment on her face did not dissipate, "I said I would kill you, and I will never break my promise. This is also a breath of bad breath for the dozen or so brothers who died!"
The scene was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Mu in the pool of blood. However, he did not come back to life. He remained motionless, just like a corpse.
The city lord's soul suddenly came out of the knife, and his face was a little distorted, indicating that he was quite angry. "We have lost troops and generals in this battle, so we should unite as one and share the same hatred against the enemy, but here you are resenting each other and killing each other? It is really reckless and cannot hold a big responsibility!"
Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, Ningshuang's expression softened and her head lowered.
"Since the 'ghost' cannot be defeated, we will continue to advance south and find a way out. The six-eyed immortal body will be of great use to us. No one is allowed to make mistakes in the future!"
The city lord gave a few instructions, but seemed to be exhausted. The light blue figure was erratic and suddenly retracted into the blood jade sword.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. Ying Yue saw that Liu Mu was still lying quietly, so he called for people to carry him into the inner room. At this moment, Xue Ting walked in quickly and said hurriedly: "A large number of new people are pouring into the city, nearly a hundred people in number."
"You go and settle them down, Ningshuang will go with you." Yingyue said, turning to look directly at Ningshuang's face, "The city wants you to replenish the staff of 'Blood Shadow', and also warns you again to be patient. Don’t be reckless!”
As the sun set, a group of people gathered in the small square in front of the city gate, including men and women, all young and middle-aged. These people were driven together by soldiers and squatted down with their heads in their hands. Everyone was afraid of themselves. Some timid ones sobbed softly and received a whip from the soldiers.
When Xue Ting and Ning Shuang arrived at the scene, everyone became quiet. Just because they were well-dressed, they looked very human at first sight. Xue Ting cleared his throat and began to speak, "Everyone, since you have come to Qiyue City, we are all in the same boat. As long as we work hard, we will have a shabby house to cover the rain and food to satisfy our hunger, and we can all survive... "
As soon as he started his tirade, Ningshuang interrupted him coldly: "What's the use of talking about these official words? It's better to tell them the truth. This city is called the 'City of Killing', and all you will end up with is corpses on the streets. Sooner or later. If you want to live with some dignity and dignity, then join our 'Blood Shadow' detachment, bravely confront the 'ghosts', and lead everyone out of this city of death."
In addition to trembling, no one asked to join. Ningshuang glanced at the crowd with cold eyes, then stretched out her hand to point, and the soldiers immediately pulled out a few people from the crowd. They were all strong young men, seemingly powerful. One person was so frightened that he suddenly turned around and ran away, shouting: "I don't want to die, I want to go home!"
He had just ran a dozen steps when Ning Shuanghuang stepped forward and pierced his vest with a knife. The man convulsed and fell to the ground dead.
The crowd was horrified and there was a commotion. The blood jade knife in Ningshuang's hand was still dripping with residual blood, her face was extremely cold, "This is the fate of a coward!"
At this time, there was applause behind him, "Okay, the beauty is lawless and cruel, and she really has good methods!"
Ningshuang didn't look back and knew she was the annoying talker. She immediately responded coldly: "Here I am the Dharma. I am in charge of life and death. Anyone who is not convinced can stand up!"
Liumu changed into clean clothes, and there was no trace of blood on his body. He laughed and said: "You have an amazing aura, but your ability to pick people is a bit poor!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed, and the soldier pulled a young man out of the crowd. , also with a look of horror on his face.
Ningshuang spat: "He is so thin and has no strength to tie a chicken. He must be a loser!"
"No, I think his eyes are extremely bright and his wisdom is restrained. He will definitely be of great use."
Ningshuang didn't argue with him and continued to pick a few people in the crowd. When everything was arranged, everyone dispersed, with Liumu still following her.
Ningshuang was a little angry and reprimanded loudly: "You stinky cockroach that can't be killed, do you want me to kill you again?"
Liu Mu still smiled playfully, "You saved me in a critical moment this morning, and I gave you back my life. Let's not hate each other and kill each other like this!"
The beauty snorted and walked away. He stared at her retreating back with six eyes, thinking over and over in his mind. It's not that he has any evil intentions and is stalking him, but there is always a mystery lingering in his heart. Why does this woman have such strong hatred? And when the "ghost" was chasing after her, she risked her life to save him? This all seems contradictory, why?
He began to have endless dreams, including sweet dreams and nightmares, all of which stemmed from his fainting after meeting the city lord. A sweet dream is nothing more than a gentle lingering with the beauty in the dream. The place is as luxurious as a fairyland, and the beauty is as beautiful and gentle as a fairy...
Every time he woke up from his dream, he felt lost and sat there for a long time. There were also several dreams in which he fell off a cliff, surrounded by darkness, and felt helpless. The "ghost's" sword turned into a ray of light in the darkness and slit his throat...
At this time, in the dense forest in the south, Sirius was leading people to dig into the tunnel. The scars on his face were soaked with sweat and looked increasingly red and eye-catching. He suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone from working, and the tunnel suddenly fell silent. Heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance, sounding like drums, and dust fell rustling above their heads. Everyone held their breath nervously.
When the footsteps faded away, Sirius let out a sigh of relief and said, "We are approaching the monster area, everyone must be careful!"
Everyone started working again. Someone opened a map. Sirius measured it with his hands and drew an area with his fingers. "This is the monster area predicted by the city lord. As long as we can safely pass the distance of several hundred feet, we will be safe." Got it!"
Before he finished speaking, a thunderous roar came from the ground above his head, and then the roof of the tunnel was lifted, and mud suddenly filled half of the tunnel. Some people were hit, some were buried, and there was a burst of exclamations and wailings.
Then, a giant green claw covered with scales stretched out and grabbed a person into the air. Then blood rained down and everyone saw this and ran towards the depths of the tunnel in fear.
Another corner of the tunnel was opened, and a huge mouth stretched in, also covered with green scales, with enough sharp teeth. Someone was caught in the mouth, and heart-piercing screams were heard.
"What a big monster! It's such a joy!" Sirius's expression was still very happy. He raised his hand and spread out a starburst, which immediately turned into a diffuse dust smoke. The monster couldn't see it, its claws were clawing wildly, and the soil was flying. And everyone has taken the opportunity to retreat to the depths of the tunnel...
There was another scar on Sirius's face, which was quite symmetrical with the previous one, like two erect eyebrows. His voice was still extremely bold, "I can change my name to Si Mei in the future, and I will be like a brother to Brother Six Eyes!"
After some teasing, he got back to his business: "Although I lost a few brothers, I still gained important information. It turns out that the monster's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, so digging a tunnel may not work!"
Everyone was depressed and silent, and Yingyue also sighed and said: "It seems that heading south is like a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. It is difficult to move forward. Are we destined to be trapped here?"
Sirius laughed, "I have another piece of information here, which may be good news!" Everyone looked at him sideways, and he continued: "I specially checked the sacrificed brothers, and they were killed with one blow, and there was no trace of further injury. So. The rumors about monsters eating humans are not credible.”
No one knows what this is good news about.
His eyes glanced at Liumu, "If someone can resurrect from the dead, he can travel through the monster realm and see if there is a way out to the south? Is it worth our continued risk?"
Ningshuang sneered beside him: "This is good news for him alone! I don't believe that anyone who finds a way out will return to this city of death!"
"You got it right! I will definitely run away as far as I can and never come back to this shabby, rotten place!"
Everyone was arguing endlessly, and Yingyue suddenly stopped everyone: "After careful consideration, the city lord believes that this plan is feasible. Even if Liumu escapes and never returns, the news conveyed to us is still good news..."
That night, the sky was dark without stars, and Liu Mu stood alone at the edge of the forest. The shadows in the distance were like dormant monsters, opening their bloody mouths, waiting to swallow up everything in front of them. He hated nights like this. He had been chased by "ghosts" so many times, running wildly in such a night. For him, such a night was a time of fear and death.
Suddenly, thunderous gongs and drums were heard in the distance, and fireworks were shot. The light pierced the night sky, and the silent night suddenly became extremely noisy. This was a signal for action. Sirius led people to make noise in the tunnel to attract the attention of the monsters.
Sure enough, several roars came from the forest, echoing each other from a distance, which was terrifying. The six-eyed cat waisted into the forest and started running wildly. There was a rustling sound under his feet, and the flying branches scratched his cheek, causing bursts of stinging pain. He was so focused that he didn't even notice.
As he flew across a stream, a strange feeling came over him. Countless experiences had made him extremely sensitive to this feeling. Sure enough, there was a heavy gasp in the darkness, followed by a strange fishy smell. Liumu sensed danger and hurriedly turned to the side. However, a strong wind hit his face, and he was hit hard by an object from the front, and then everything fell into darkness...
After an unknown amount of time, he woke up leisurely. It was pitch dark all around, and it turned out that he was huddled in the grass. Liu Mu's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't tell the direction at all. When he looked around, he saw the dazzling fire on the horizon in the distance. This was the signal given to him by Qiyue City.
So, Liu Mu ran wildly again in the opposite direction of the fire. He no longer had the concept of time, and he forgot that he was in extreme pain. He only moved his steps mechanically, and ran all the way under the guidance of his subconscious.
The sky was white with fish belly, dawn was approaching, and a steep cliff lay in front of us. This cliff is so high that you can't see the top. The stone is white and smooth, as if it had been polished manually. Liumu wanted to find a gap and ran along the bottom of the cliff. However, it was endless and there was no way out.
Despair once again took hold of his body, even more violently than when death struck. He took out a firework from his arms, watched it fly into the sky and explode with light, and then slumped to the ground.
Suddenly there was an exclamation from beside me: "I didn't expect that there are people here?"
