Hooked knife, open the skin;
A knife as wide as the palm of your hand can slay demon generals;
Peel off the demon's skin and twitch the demon's tendons in exchange for meritorious deeds...
This song has a weird tune, but it's not difficult to learn. Even if you didn't know how to sing it before, you'll be able to do it after listening to it two or three times.
Behind a section of the city wall, more than a dozen men were sitting together on the ground. Their bodies were all stained with blood, and their clothes and armor were often damaged. They had weapons and dry food in their hands, eating and resting.
"Stop singing jijiaah!"
"You want to take care of it? I just love singing!"
"Tsk tsk, if the flower dog likes to sing, let him sing. He has saved three demon tendons now. He hopes to exchange them for money at the end of the month and give them back to the ladies at home. I'm so happy!"
"Three?! Flower dog, you bastard can do it! This time is enough to exchange for two more lands! But you have to take it easy, you have the land. If you lose your life, you bastard, then those lands will I’m afraid that if I give others an advantage, I will suffer a huge loss!”
"If you dare to curse me again, I will cramp your muscles too!"
"Hahaha, flower dog, don't be afraid. The more you are afraid of dying here, the faster you will die. Didn't the madman say something yesterday? Hey, madman, how did you say the word you said yesterday?"
"Born to death. Also, my name is Zhang Yan (yàn), can you please don't call me crazy?"
"Yes, yes, live to die! This is a good word! Live to die! In this Yubei Mountain, this word is so apt as hell!"
Being called "madman", Zhang Yan could only smile bitterly. He had seen the tempers of the people around him, and he was especially stubborn about giving people nicknames. It seems that he may never be able to get rid of his reputation as a "madman".
He gnawed on the dry and hard dough in his hand and swallowed it with water. Although it is not delicious, it is not nauseating. After all, even if Zhang Yan is given big fish and meat now, he will not be able to eat it. He was not used to killing like the men around him, and now his stomach was still churning.
Four days ago, Zhang Yan was in an underground palace in Tianzhu on Earth, helping a group of people who were fighting to hide their murderous intentions. As a result, he made a mistake and was covered by a black mist. His whole body was instantly turned into ashes. He was supposed to die, but in one When I opened my eyes, I saw the Yubei Mountain Fortress in front of me. I was so frightened that my legs went weak, and I was forced to pick up the spear and immediately started fighting.
To paraphrase what Zhang Yan said in the novels he had read on Earth before, he is now considered to have passed through his soul, right? The predecessor of his body was a criminal soldier who was dispatched. He had never seen a slaughterhouse and was frightened to death. Then Zhang Yan traveled through time to pick up the plate.
After all, his physical fitness was ridiculously strong, and coupled with some basic physical skills that Zhang Yan brought from the earth, he was able to survive only after he mastered the essentials of fighting on this city wall. I also took advantage of the remaining memories in my body and the gossip of the rough guys around me to figure out the context of the world in front of me bit by bit.
This world is called the Wild Sky Territory, and the Yubei Mountain Fortress where Zhang Yan is currently located is a frontier called "Nanyuan Kingdom" in the Wild Heaven Territory. It borders the Monster Clan to the west and is at war all the year round.
The demon clan is so tyrannical that even if it is just a nuisance, it is extremely difficult for the Nanyuan Kingdom to deal with it. Every year, a large number of strong laborers are dragged to various border fortresses, and the battle losses are extremely high.
Therefore, Nanyuan Kingdom has a "flexible" response law. That is, every year, young and middle-aged prisoners who commit serious crimes are taken to the front line as supplements, and are called "criminal soldiers." If the criminal soldier gathers three demon tendons, his crime can be reduced by one level. After the charges are reduced, the criminals can regain their civilian status. At that time, they can go home or continue to serve in the border camp in exchange for pay.
Many of the rough guys in the same team as Zhang Yan were converted from criminal soldiers to regular soldiers and stayed after their sentences were reduced. The main thing is to work hard here. If you are lucky, you can really earn enough as a wife in a year.
But Zhang Yan was still far from it. He had only been here four days, and his sins were heavy. According to Hua Gou, it was only right for him to think about how to survive first, and there was no need to think about the demon tendons for the time being.
The rest only lasts for one meal, and then we have to go up to the city wall. Two teams of people were stationed on a section of the wall, now a total of thirty-five people. The two teams take breaks.
The city wall is only about ten feet high, so people with more flexible hands and feet can climb it with some effort. What's more, the person he's dealing with is not a human, but a demon.
Demon soldiers!
"Madman, why are you still shaking? You haven't gotten used to it these past few days?"
"...My name is Zhang Yan."
"Hahaha, outside you are called Zhang Yan, but here you are called madman. Who makes you mutter and chant non-stop as soon as you go into battle? Aren't you just like those madmen?"
"..." Zhang Yan was speechless and choked for a while. He was chanting a mantra! Why can’t these people make sense? A good Taoist mantra turns into crazy words in the mouths of these people, which is completely unreasonable.
"If you don't want to be like Liu Mazi, with your head blooming, just lower your body a little lower and don't show your head!"
"Um!"
Zhang Yan tightened the spear in his hand. Although he had experienced many such fights in the past few days, he still could not adapt well, but his legs were no longer weak.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A sharp whistling sound passed over the top of the head. It was an iron-wood spear shuttle thrown from under the city wall. Liu Mazi, who had a blooming head in Hua Gou's mouth, was stabbed in the face by such a javelin. His head was shattered by the huge impact.
At this time, you have to wait, don't be impatient, wait for the drum to sound.
There were iron and wood spear shuttles on the opposite side, and there were also feathered arrows on the city wall to fight back. The whistling sound was like the whisper of death in his ears, making Zhang Yan have to lower his body again. At this time, only the wall stacks in front could give him some comfort.
"Dong dong dong..."
"The drums are ringing! Get up, raise your gun! We're coming up!"
Zhang Yan stood up from his crouching position almost as a reflex. He held the spear in his hand flat above his chest. He grasped the barrel of the gun with both hands, and the head of the gun tilted down from the edge of the wall. When he was ready to go, all the muscles in his body were tense, and even the veins on his neck popped out.
"Hiss!"
The next moment Zhang Yan took up his stance, a black shadow suddenly shot up from outside the city wall. Through the moonlight and the huge fire on the city wall, we could see that the opponent had a bloody mouth with intertwined canine teeth and mottled hair on his head. His eyes have vertical pupils, and his figure is at least two heads taller than Zhang Yan!
This is the demon soldier!
While Zhang Yan stabbed the opponent's head with a charged shot, he muttered: Xuan Zong of Heaven and Earth, Wan Qi Bengen. I will cultivate for thousands of kalpas and prove my magical power...
"Pfft!"
The gun plunged firmly into the opponent's eye socket. It felt soft and waxy, then hard, and then stirred with the force, and finally withdrew the gun hard.
Except for Zhang Yan himself, no one noticed that as he kept mumbling, a golden light invisible to the naked eye circulated on his skin, and finally turned into strength and disappeared with every movement of his gun.
Zhang Yan didn't notice it at first. At that time, he was so frightened that he just habitually recited the Taoist "Golden Light Divine Curse" that he used to make money when he was running around in the world. Who would have thought that it would actually be effective the more times he used it, especially if he could do it under such high intensity? The reason for surviving until now in the fight.
Stabbing one or two demon soldiers to death is not the end, but the beginning of a battle.
"No! Right side! Watch the right side! Come up! Reserve team! Reserve team go up and kill that bastard! Quick!"
The city walls are densely packed with soldiers, but there are always places where the latter are breached. The monster soldiers that jump up need to be dealt with by the reserve team. However, the number of reserves is not enough. Once there are too many holes, or if there are too many monster soldiers jumping up, they will not be able to cope with it. Therefore, the soldiers stationed sometimes need to form their own formations to deal with the holes in the city wall. Live and make up for it.
The strength of the demon soldiers is much greater than that of ordinary soldiers. They can easily cut a person in two with a big knife. Their skin is rough and thick, and with their leather armor, if you want to kill them, you need to target their eyes, necks and other places. .
"Madman, go to the right! I can't stand you there anymore!"
Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and nodded without thinking too much. Once on the city wall, there is no distinction between you and me. Everyone is fighting for their lives. If the defense line is broken, everyone will die.
It was said to be on the right side, but it was just a little more than five feet away. Three people were already lying on the ground. They all had a big hole in their stomachs, and their intestines were flowing all over the floor. In a panic, they wanted to pick them up and stuff them back, but they couldn't. After picking it up for a while, there was no sound.
"The heaven and earth are natural, the filthy energy is dispersed, the cave is mysterious, the sun shines brightly..."
Zhang Yan held the spear tightly in his hand, staring at the back of the demon soldier who jumped up the city wall, and recited another divine curse in his mouth.
Invisibly, the syllables of the divine curse were like the fluttering of flies' wings. Ordinary people would not even notice it, but the demon soldier in the middle trembled all over, and then his whole body seemed to be a lot tired.
"kill!"
Zhang Yan saw the opportunity and stabbed the spear in his hand diagonally with great force. The head of the spear pierced the back of the demon soldier's neck and penetrated five inches of the flesh with a pop!
When the surrounding soldiers saw that Zhang Yan had succeeded, they howled and followed, stabbing each other with spears, most of which were aimed at the head. Taking advantage of this, the demon soldier was seriously injured on the back of his neck, and then his eyes and even mouth were hit by a spear. He was stabbed by a spear, and he fell down in a moment. His whole head was like a rag, and after a few twitches, he lost air.
"It seems that the "Curse of Purifying Heaven and Earth" is really useful for these demon soldiers!" Zhang Yan could only sigh excitedly in his heart, and the call of the flower dog came from behind him again. He quickly returned to his previous position and repeated the mechanical Such killing actions.
