Qi Jingzhi lived in Xianyu Xuandu Cave Heaven for a month. He never saw anyone else except his master. He originally thought that the mountain was quite deserted. Although he had been to Qihe Valley several times during this period, he never noticed that the valley was deserted. It was so lively.
Whether it was the former defenders of Wuhe Kingdom's Jietian Pass or the battlefield where two trees were fighting at this moment, it felt like everything was under control.
The old chestnut tree and the nameless ancient tree had obviously fought before. Just looking at the large area of corpses around Madara Nu, one could tell that the battle was quite tragic.
While Qi Jingzhi was watching silently, he saw the remains of many chestnut soldiers being devoured by Bannu. The old chestnut tree and the chestnut army under its command had no reaction, but the nameless ancient tree on the other side was not happy at first.
Its old face drooped, and its tone of voice was slow and full of vicissitudes of life: "The immortal mushrooms under Ponti Protector's command are thick, tender, delicious and fragrant. They are much stronger than those dry chestnuts. Captain Zuowu might as well Try it too.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old chestnut tree immediately retorted: "You are telling lies with your eyes open! If we talk about delicious food, my son, Xian Liwei, is the best one with rich aroma, crispy sweetness and delicious taste!"
"Brother Zuowu is a wise man, so he naturally knows which side to stand on!"
Most of its words were directed at Bannu.
As a result, the two ancient trees looked at the so-called "Zhou Wu Xiaowei" in unison.
Bannu didn't pay any attention to anyone, but lazily stretched out his paws and crushed a chestnut with a snap.
Seeing this, Wuming Gumu, who claimed to be the protector, immediately became displeased.
It didn't do anything to Ban Nu, but instead vented its anger on the old chestnut tree: "Xianli Colonel, are you really determined to go your own way and betray our Xianyu Protectorate?"
"Huan Wuhuan, don't bully each other too much!"
The old chestnut tree immediately opened its eyes angrily and said in a hateful voice: "We, the Xianli clan, are loyal to the Great Demon Kingdom. Even though the Protectorate's army has been hanging outside the territory for hundreds of years, surrounded by enemies and struggling to move forward, we have always thought of our homeland and been loyal to ourselves. Shou!"
"On the contrary, you, Huan Wuhuan, are clearly about to die, and you should have abdicated in favor of others according to the old practice, but you prefer to stay in the pile and eat nothing! If that's all, you secretly cultivate close followers. , suppressing meritorious ministers at every turn, and acting in such a perverse manner, how can you pretend to be a protector?"
Speaking later, Captain Xianli was so angry that he was shaking all over. As the tree shadows shook, the green thorn balls on the branches fell one after another.
It glared at Huan Wuhuang and said angrily: "I am raising an army today to punish the traitors, rectify the source, and restore peace to my Xianyu Protectorate!"
"My sons, today is the day to kill the traitors in the country. Kill them for me!"
Following Captain Xianli's order, the green thorny balls under the tree immediately rolled forward, rolling towards the direction of the mushroom formation.
Upon seeing this, a voice from Huan Wuhuan's end immediately ordered: "Come forward to destroy the strong camp!"
As soon as the words fell, several groups of the most muscular soldiers in the Immortal Mushroom Army quickly stepped forward.
These soldiers are all strong men among the immortal mushrooms. They are all tall and have long arms. Only the umbrella canopy on their heads is extremely small, as if they are wearing iron helmets.
They all carried a throwing spear made of slender branches in their hands, and four more were carried on their backs.
The bodies of these throwing spears are still bright green, and they even have conical heads made of yellow flowers. They were obviously taken off Huan Wushu not long ago.
"end!"
Another short and loud military order was issued, and the soldiers of the Dejian Battalion immediately stopped, holding their guns in their backhands, ready to throw.
Although Qi Jingzhi was far away, he could hear clearly that the person who shouted the order was not Huan Wuhuang, but the fairy mushroom as big as a human head on its back.
"Captain Xianli said that Huan Wuhuang secretly cultivated his trusted private soldiers. Are you talking about these fairy mushrooms?"
"As for Huan Wuhuan... could it be that this ancient tree that I don't recognize is actually a soapberry?"
Mu Yingxian once mentioned that the Qinghong Gong jade pillow had a piece of sapindus hidden in the jade core of Huanxin Jade. He also said that burning this wood has a peculiar fragrance, which can ward off evil spirits and repel ghosts. It is used in jade pillows. Among them, the dreams generated by the Fantasy Heart Jade can be solid and complete.
Qi Jingzhi fell asleep. Although he did not remember smelling any strange fragrance, he could not help but come into contact with the scent of Soapwood. It is no wonder that when he saw Huan Wushu just now, he had an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.
Between the birth and death of his thoughts, the fastest green thorn ball on the battlefield was already close to Bannu in the center.
Zuowu Banner casts a clear light, protecting the owner of his weapon in it.
At the same time, the human-headed fairy mushroom on Huan Wushu's back gave another command: "Break!"
"Hey ha!"
In the formation of the mushroom-destroying camp, the soldiers who had been silent all exhaled and threw out the sapodilla spears in their hands without hesitation.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of breaking through the sky.
As soon as those seemingly inconspicuous spears left their hands, the thin branches of the spears suddenly glowed with green light, and the spearheads also circulated with light yellow light, connecting with each other to form a rain curtain of yellow flowers, which rolled through the air in an instant, heading towards the green thorns. Under the hood.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
These throwing spears made of soapwood are powerful and heavy. Once a green thorn ball is hit by them, they will burst into pieces, and the Xianli soldiers hiding in them will also roll to the ground.
Those spears that failed to hit the target would be deeply embedded in the soil, completely immersed in the handle, leaving only inconspicuous small holes in the ground.
Bannu was also within the attack range of the Sambucus japonica spear, and he immediately suffered a disaster.
The densely packed spears directly hit the clear light barrier of Zuowu Banner, and the gun body was shattered immediately. The light yellow petals fell like rain, floating and disappearing.
The soldiers belonging to the Xianli Guards are all brave warriors, and they also have hands and feet. Even if they fall from the torn thorn ball chariot, they will immediately roll to the ground and pull out the weapons inserted in the body of the vehicle. Spike, continue to rush forward bravely.
"Broken!" The leader of the mushrooms shouted again.
In the blink of an eye, another barrage of gunfire came. The unobstructed Xianli guards shouted, waving the spikes in their hands to block it. If they couldn't block it, they used their armor to resist. There was a sudden crackling sound. , many of them had their armor shattered and died heroically.
In the blink of an eye, many corpses of Xianli guards appeared not far from Bannu.
In a short time, the Immortal Mushroom Destroyer Battalion had launched five rounds of spears in succession, destroying the Thorn Ball Chariot and killing countless Xianli soldiers.
It's just that Captain Xianli seems determined to take down his immediate boss. As long as the number of thorn ball chariots rolling and charging on the battlefield decreases slightly, the tree crown will be shaken violently, and more green thorn balls will fall from it. .
Many green streams flowed past Bannu, rolling forward without stopping.
"The Destroying Battalion retreats, the Iron Wall Battalion steps forward!"
The leader of the mushrooms issued military orders, his tone remained calm, and he seemed calm and unhurried.
The strong men of the Destroying Battalion, who had no guns to throw, immediately retreated as ordered, while hundreds of mushroom soldiers stepped forward quickly.
The soldiers of these Iron Wall Battalions are generally not tall, but they are extremely strong. In particular, the umbrellas above their heads are wide and thick, like giant shields.
They dug their legs and bodies into the soil, held hands with each other, and put their heads next to each other. In an instant, they set up several rows of extremely solid-looking shield walls.
At the same time, there were hundreds of ordinary-looking mushroom soldiers standing behind the shield wall. Several people formed a team and worked together to lift a spear-like sapodilla tree branch. The end of the spear was deeply pierced into the soil. The spearhead stuck out far beyond the shield wall, pointing directly at the green stream rushing on the opposite side.
"Stubborn!"
Seeing the two sides getting closer and closer, and when they were about to collide in a moment, Huan Wushu suddenly spoke.
Its voice was still old and slow, but it had a faint chilling tone: "Where is Fellow Taoist Scarlet Snake?"
After Huan Wushu finished speaking, a ten-foot-long red snake suddenly swam out of the dense forest behind Huan Wushu, with two sharp horns on its head.
This red snake named "Red Snake" swims very fast, and its body is also covered with small snakes with the same red double horns. Except for a few that are several feet long, most of the others are no more than an inch long.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Red Snake and his snake grandson swam to the feet of Huan Wushu. The snake's body snaked upwards and coiled around the Wushu tree, knocking it off by the way. Lots of mushrooms.
The little snakes on the Red Snake's body were even more aggressive, and they passed their ancestors one after another and continued to swim upstream. Soon they were entangled in the high and low branches, swaying in the wind, and looking from a distance, they looked like they were in the middle of nowhere. Many red cloth strips were tied to the crown of the diseased tree.
The red snake was coiled on the tree trunk, and the snake's head was raised in the air. The red snake vomited for a moment, then pointed in the direction of the green stream, and opened its mouth to spit out a fireball as thick as a bowl.
This fireball that looked like a substance flew out suddenly, drew an extremely eye-catching red arc in the air, hit the ground heavily, and exploded immediately.
The terrifying waves of scorching air spread out and immediately cut off four or five green streams in the surrounding area.
The blazing flames followed closely behind and instantly expanded into a sea of fire, enveloping countless green thorn balls and the Xianli armored soldiers.
A continuous sound of exploding spiked balls followed, and at the same time, a strange sweet fragrance filled the air.
The red snake's astonishing fireball was just the beginning. The little snakes hovering on the branches immediately followed suit, opening their snake kisses and spitting fire balls in the direction of the green stream.
Compared with the fireballs of the Red Snake, these fire pellets are extremely inconspicuous, but the large number and the fact that the little snakes spit them out from a high position more or less make up for the lack of power and range.
For a time, dozens or hundreds of fire pellets were scattered all over the sky, looking like meteors and a shower of fire, extremely gorgeous.
Seeing how many chariots and soldiers of his own fell into the opponent's sea of fire, Captain Xianli was furious and immediately shouted: "Please help me, Mr. Si Chen!"
On the tree wall on one side of the battlefield, Qi Jingzhi's clear eyes reflected the stars in the sky, which looked extremely bright and bright.
The little golden monkey at his feet had been stunned for a long time. He was hit on the head by a piece of bird droppings, but he didn't react at all.
The snowy owl hovered above the little monkey's head, its cheering sound filled with pride.
Seeing that the little monkey didn't seem to notice anything, it fluttered its wings and slowly descended, aiming in the right direction. It wanted to repeat its old trick, but unexpectedly, a large sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded in the air behind it.
Immediately afterwards, a group of golden pheasants with gorgeous feathers flew over the tree wall, knocking the snowy owls into pieces, causing their white fur to fly everywhere, and hit the little golden monkey on the head.
Immediately afterwards, the monkey and the bird both fell upside down from the tree wall, falling into disgrace and embarrassment.
Amid the chaos of monkeys and snowy owls, Qi Jingzhi ignored the two noisy little ones under the tree wall and cast his gaze higher into the sky.
An extremely large red-bellied golden pheasant was gliding across the sky, its wings spread out to more than one foot, sheltering all those of its kind flying through the forest under its wings.
Si Chengong has a golden silk-like feather crown on his head, his neck is also golden, but decorated with black edges, which looks a bit like tiger stripes. His green and luxurious feathers are like a shawl, and his body is covered with gorgeous deep colors. Red, the tail feathers are dark brown, studded with cinnamon yellow spots.
Qi Jingzhi had seen this kind of golden pheasant in Xiaosong Mountain, but he had never seen such a different species like Si Chengong. If some of the edges and corners were included, the fur color of the whole body was actually red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, which can be called brilliant feathers. , dazzling, coupled with the unparalleled body shape, just like the legendary phoenix.
Duke Si Chen was obviously the helper invited by Colonel Xianli. As soon as he showed up, he went straight to Xianyu Protector Huan Wuhuan.
Before it could get close, the red snake coiled on the trunk of the sapodilla tree suddenly raised its head, opened its mouth and spit out a blazing fireball as big as a human head, and hit it hard on the head.
Si Chengong was already on guard. With a tilt of his wings, the big fireball missed his shoulders and passed by dangerously.
The big fireball flew a certain distance, its momentum weakened and fell, but by chance it hit an ordinary-sized red-bellied golden pheasant.
The unlucky guy was immediately burned into a ball of bird-shaped flames, and fell to the ground without making a sound.
There seemed to be a moment of silence on the battlefield, and then Si Chengong let out a roar that echoed through the sky. His brilliant golden beak aimed at one of the red snake's eyes and pecked it with all his might.
The red snake showed no sign of weakness, and immediately opened its mouth, ready to retaliate with its fangs.
At the same time, dense fire pellets flew out from the crown of the Sapindus tree, hitting Si Chengong's back like raindrops.
The remaining golden pheasants followed closely, and they did not join in the fight between the two leaders. Instead, they flapped their wings and flew around, nimbly passing through the fire and rain, while each aimed at a target, towards the soapberry tree. The branches of the canopy of the tree fluttered.
"Master said that most of the people living in this valley are the spiritual pet mounts of the former disciples, and it is true at first sight. Compared with the crane, it seems that phoenix birds like Si Chengong are more suitable as mounts for the Feng clan of Xianyu Mountain."
"Hey, there are only me and Master in the cave now. There are so many mountain treasures raised in the hollow of Qihe Valley, but we can only die in vain and die of old age. It is really a waste of natural resources."
Qi Jingzhi stared at the battle between Chi Huzi and Si Chengong for a moment, but his heart was already intoxicated by the strong fragrance permeating the battlefield.
"It's all my fault that Bannu was chewing so much and eating so deliciously that he actually made me, the master, also gluttonous!"
He secretly thought: "I don't know which flavor Master prefers. Should I make mushroom stewed chicken or chestnut stewed chicken tonight?"
