Two quarters of an hour later, they set off again.
After walking in the forest for a while, the three of them said nothing. It seemed that Noya was too lazy to communicate with Li Bochen, a "person" who was not very smart, while Xu Cheng seemed to be thinking about something. Although he is a Yin spirit, he still has an expression. At this time, his expression is both confused and worried.
When the sun was about to set and the forest gradually became dark, Xu Cheng suddenly said: "It's nice here."
He hesitated for a while: "Should we rest here...I suddenly felt that we should rest here."
They were at the bottom of a slope. This slope seemed to have been stepped on by the army of monsters that had passed here before. The trees were all broken. There were only some bare weeds growing on the ground, and some piles of large rocks that had rolled down from the slope. , blocking a stream on the slope. The turbid stream slowly flowed out from the cracks in the rocks, soaking a large area of the ground into mud.
This kind of place cannot be considered "nice" in any way, and it seems that Xu Cheng should think so too. Li Bochen suddenly understood the meaning of his previous expression - he now felt that "it's nice here" and he should rest here. It should be that Fengxue Sword God's intention affected his will. Perhaps before the two communicated with Fengxue Sword God, Xu Cheng did not realize that he had actually become a puppet unknowingly, and was not "alive" even though he was dead as he had thought before. .
Li Bochen knew that most people didn't like spirit masters. When Bi Hai saw him before, he said with emotion, "There is such a spirit master like you." Now that he saw Xu Cheng's appearance, he suddenly understood.
The mysterious spirit is no longer a human being, and looking at people is no different than looking at ants. Since the spirit master is affected by the will of the secret spirit, no matter how gentle and kind he was in the past, he will be changed by the will of the secret spirit in the future and become the appearance of the secret spirit on the earth.
He couldn't help but think of what Xu Cheng told him about his life experience - if those were true, then Xu Cheng was not a bad person before he became a spiritual master. And the questions Xu Cheng asked when he transformed into a humanoid monster and walked through the forest were probably not what he wanted to ask, but what the Fengxue Sword God wanted to ask.
Looking at it this way, this man is a bit pitiful.
Li Bochen sighed in his heart and said, "Is this what your sword god meant? Then rest here and see when he does his work."
The three of them found a dry place to rest. The surroundings became darker and darker, and the wind gradually picked up and clouds formed, covering the moon. But Li Boxen was afraid of any monsters lingering in the mountains, so he didn't light a fire. Fortunately, it was actually two people and one ghost. The person was not an ordinary person, and neither of them felt very cold.
Noah sat on the grass and played with the tips of the grass for a while. He couldn't help but said: "We have only been walking for a long time and we have to stop to rest again. No wonder you people can't beat us. You are too squeamish."
In so many years, this is the first time I heard someone call me squeamish. Li Bochen smiled and said, "If it were you, how long would it take you to walk before you stop to rest?"
Noah said: "I just ate meat, and I have to walk for three or four days before I feel tired. If I stop and go like you, I will be annoyed to death. Oh, I know, it must be because you eat grass—— Those who eat grass will be eaten by those who eat meat.”
Li Boxen said: "We don't just eat grass, we also eat meat."
When he said this, he suddenly realized a problem - I heard that in the ice and snow in the Demon Kingdom, high-level Rakshasa people had to set fire to a warm area in the mountains to survive, so there would be very few green plants. But Noya showed no curiosity about this lush forest along the way... Could it be that she was used to it?
He asked, "Do you have these trees and grass over there?"
Noah said: "No."
Li Boxen said: "Then don't you think it's strange?"
Noya frowned: "What's so strange? I've been watching it for several months. I'm so hot that I really want to go back to the snowfield."
Li Boxen said: "How many months, three or four months?"
"Roughly the same."
He was stunned for a while and figured out other things. Three or four months ago, it was the time when he was hiding in the belly of a monster and an army of hundreds of thousands of monsters raided Wuliang City. Did Noah come to Dangtu Mountain after that?
It turns out that the Demon Kingdom has been planning what is happening now. They will attack in many places first, to attract the attention of the Six Kingdoms, and on the other hand to seize the north of Dangtu Mountain as soon as possible. Then they broke into the Sui Kingdom first, attracted all the troops there, and then appeared in the Li Kingdom where no one expected, and the troops divided into two groups and advanced southward.
In the past, Li Guo could compete with the Demonic Kingdom only by relying on natural barriers, ordnance, and cities. But if they were pushed into the hinterland from two sides, it would be difficult for either side to deal with it. Demonic people like Noya can eat people, and food and grass are not a problem at all. They can also march for several days with one meal, and their speed is extremely fast. There are two armies here. They simply broke through the turtle shell and penetrated into the body. Two poisonous snakes!
Li Bochen clenched his fist. This reminded him that his previous world had experienced a similar history - after a war, his vitality was severely damaged, and he wanted to rebuild his home, but a new crisis suddenly appeared. Many are transformed into inhuman things, extremely difficult to kill, and feed on human flesh.
Before the war, it would have been easy to eliminate such things, but at that time, they really had the upper hand. In the end, just like the Six Kingdoms and the Demonic Kingdom, many people lived in a corner and wanted to slowly thrive, thinking that as long as they had enough time, they could easily annihilate those monsters one day. But before this idea could be realized, the settlement fell... I don't know what is happening there now.
He sighed inwardly. He used to guard the border in Beiyuan, and even now he was worried about the general situation of the world. In fact, he was worried about his home in another world, and regarded this place as that place.
It's just that Noya here, although he plays the role of a "monster", is actually still a "human". Where he came from, just because it was not easy to live in such a world, everyone cherished their lives, cherished their own lives, and cherished the lives of others. On the contrary, people in this world don't cherish their lives so much.
The people of the Demon Kingdom want to go south because the north is really unsuitable for survival. It would be great if there was a way to get both sides to resolve the issue peacefully rather than through such a brutal method. The land of the Six Kingdoms is actually extremely vast, and the Rakshasa and Sumeru people also have special skills. As for those monsters, if they can be tamed, they will be excellent beasts.
If he were an ordinary person, these ideas would seem ridiculous, but Li Bochen knew that he was not an ordinary person, and there seemed to be a glimmer of possibility to accomplish these things. But these are all things for later. What he needs to do now is to destroy the bridge first. He didn't want to wait for that day to come, but there would be few living people in the world.
