As soon as Shen Hui finished speaking, a cold feeling enveloped the military tent.
"Seriously, are you reading that right?" Qiu Yijun's expression suddenly changed. He rubbed the hand on the handle of the knife a few times, then squeezed it with such force that his knuckles turned white, "But that old man Hasn’t the demon been killed by the captain?”
"There are injuries on the chest and abdomen, and two corners are broken. When the captain killed the demon, A Jing and I were both there, so there is no way he could admit his mistake!" Even though he didn't want to believe it at all, Shen Hui's answer was still He was very sure. As his chest rose and fell violently, the flesh wound on his right shoulder burst open again, blood oozing out.
Although Qiu Yijun and Chu Hunyi have never seen the evil demon he talks about, they have been in the army for some years and they know a lot about the old things they should have heard. Moreover, there is Nie Hai in the Anping Guard, and he and Yuchi Qiong are monks of the same generation. , knows a lot about the past.
About the year before Yu Chijing took over Minglu Pass, the number of caravans traveling to and from Congzhou suddenly dropped sharply, and the business of the shops in the six towns also began to be sluggish.
As the captain of a local school, Yuchiqiong not only has the responsibility of protecting the people, but also has the task of contacting the mayors of the six towns to make the pass peaceful and prosperous.
Seeing this strange sign, she immediately guessed that there might be a high-level evil spirit entrenched outside, so she led her troops to search for traces of the evil spirit. By then, Shen Hui and Yu Chi Jing would also be in the army. As rare Yuan-condensing combat forces, they had to go together.
Marching to the wilderness outside the customs, the demons that usually roamed around were almost nowhere to be seen. Yuchi Qiong's road was not good, so he knew that there were high-level demons that frightened them, so he surrounded them and accumulated strength.
After careful inspection, they found an earth nest hundreds of miles underground. The evil demon in it had four corners and four eyes, and no wings of flesh on its back. It was an earth demon worthy of a Bi Xuan monk!
Among the evil demons, the worship of strength almost reaches the level of madness. When an earth demon releases a little demonic energy around it, it can make the less powerful evil demons worship it and regard it as their king.
Fortunately, Yu Chiqiong discovered it early, and the number of wasteland demons was firmly controlled by the two guards. They were cleared out every month. There were not many other demons beside this earth demon. After he killed the leader, the other demons were dealt with. It will be much easier.
That was the first time Shen Hui saw the Earth Demon. The bulge on its back had swelled into a hill. If Yuchi Qiong hadn't had a keen sense of smell, the demon flesh wings had grown out, and he had advanced to become a small demon, Minglu Pass would have been doomed!
Therefore, when he saw the evil demon again this time, he was immediately choked with shock and waved an order for everyone to retreat and return to Minglu Pass in advance.
"But the old devil's aura is unstable, and the devilish energy around him is no longer what it used to be. I'm afraid he used a secret technique to fake death to escape, so he was severely injured." Shen Hui took a pill and calmed down his Dantian. "If it wasn't still with him, Soldiers, Big Bear and I should test it out to see what kind of strength it is now."
"Fortunately, it was the Shangzong who alerted the old devil, and we were not exposed."
General Yao Shinan, who mistakenly opened the entrance to the underground lair, had not long entered the army. He had not been stained by the blood of the battlefield. The evil demon only regarded it as a caravan passing by and swung a casual blow, preparing to kill it without paying much attention.
When he made the move, Shen Hui was immediately frightened by the trace of murderous intent and accepted it brazenly. If not, Yao Shinan would have been killed on the spot!
He couldn't imagine what would happen to the thousands of soldiers of Dingpingwei if the one who alerted the old demon was a veteran in the army...
The three people in the military tent were silent for a long time, and the atmosphere was dull and condensed.
Yuchi Jing and Nie Hai opened the curtain and entered at this time. When they saw Shen Hui and others looking gloomy, they looked at each other and felt not at ease.
After the Dingping Guards returned to the pass in advance, a messenger was sent to Wei Chi Jing, which is why he put down his military affairs and hurried over.
"The accumulation of evil spirits will lead to chaos. Kill this old devil, the sooner the better!"
…
The two guards of Qingwu Camp were going to attack at the same time. Only when Zhao Chun got this information did he fully understand the strong killing formation.
"We are all leaving the pass, what should we do at Minglu Pass?"
Mu Si, who came to deliver the message, usually had a playful smile on his face, but now he was very solemn. He replied: "Zhao Xiaoqi, don't worry, the school captain has led his guards to the pass. After the two guards left, she and Nie Qi If the gate is in charge, there will be no difference at Minglu Pass."
Chang and Shengwei had four flagmen. Yuchi Qiong did not take them to the gate, but stayed in the six towns.
After all, the people in the town mix with monsters and spirits, and the people's hearts are unpredictable, not to mention the aliens, so they must take adequate precautions.
After Zhao Shun received the news, he immediately prepared to leave the customs. He didn't know what happened. The military order was issued in a hurry, and he had to get ready and set off the next day.
As dusk approached, the officers and men of Minglu Pass began to prepare for the expedition outside the pass at dawn.
It was also when night fell that Zhao Shun learned the inside story of this expedition.
Many years ago, Captain Yuchi personally killed the evil demon, but now it has resurrected and built a lair underground in the wasteland!
Yuchi Jing has never concealed anything from his lieutenants, and this is also the case. He sent an order to Zhongdao, saying that the evil spirit had been severely injured and his strength was no longer what it was before. He joined forces with several bannermen to kill him and ordered the remaining soldiers to follow him. On your side, just clear out the remaining low-level evil spirits.
As for why the school captain didn't take action himself, everyone only needed to think about it for a moment. After fighting the demon, the school captain returned to the Sixth Town not long after and ordered Qimen to take over the Qingwu Camp, and they would know the inside story.
It's not easy to kill the demon, and the captain himself may have accumulated injuries that are difficult to heal!
Minglu Pass cannot be guarded by Fenxuan. Her safety is the safety of the six towns. If there is no second Fenxuan here, she cannot act rashly.
Zhao Shun also knew this difficulty and couldn't help but sigh.
The night before leaving the quarantine, she met Yuan Sui'er and Lu Shengcai for the first time. They knew that leaving the quarantine this time was not as easy as before. They had both fighting spirit and worry in their eyes. When they saw her, their lips twitched slightly. He moved, murmured: "See you tomorrow." and returned to the tent.
The next day, the sky was still full of gloom, and tens of thousands of people arrived at the gate of Minglu Pass.
The small gates on both sides have been closed, and Yuchi Qiong personally issued a strict order that no caravan can pass through until the end of the expedition. After all, it is a critical moment and there is no room for slacking off.
Yuchi Jing occupies the first place, accompanied by Shen Hui, Chu Hunyi, and Qiu Yijun. These three are all strong players in the flag sect, and their combat prowess is extraordinary. Although Zhao Yan and others are inexperienced in battle, they come from a large family and have extraordinary means. Their combat power is much better than that of ordinary knights, and the more basic combat power the better, so Zhao Xun and others are also on the battle list.
A flash of orange appeared in the sky, and the giant rhinoceros-horned beast under its crotch breathed heavily. Zhao Shuan held the reins in his hands and stared at the city gate that was slowly rising in front of him.
The giant rhinoceros-horned beast was originally a spirit born in the wilderness. After being tamed by the human race, it became a riding beast. The military guards rode gray hooves, the knights rode white hooves, the flag gate rode black hooves, and the captain and senior officers had other mounts. Have an idea.
The strange beast felt the aura of the wilderness and was very excited. It let out heavy low sounds. Zhao Xuan frowned and tightened the reins, suppressing the true energy to calm it down.
When Yuchi Jing gave the order, there were countless iron hooves in the rolling yellow sand, and the momentum was even greater than before when the Dingping Guards came out, as if they were about to trample thousands of miles of wasteland!
