The fifth sword mark was mixed in the crowd, without raising his arms and shouting, and his eyes were confused. The shouts around him made the faint voice in his mind seem to become a little clearer.
The demonic monk's eyes showed excitement: "Let's go and grab it!"
The fifth sword mark, these villagers were surrounded by the people brought by the demonic monks, and headed towards the Lin family. The villagers, young and old, staggered behind. Then they discovered that not only they, old and young villagers, but also many young and old, gathered together and followed. After chatting with each other for a while, they realized that they were from another village and the process was the same as theirs. We did get some food, but many died of hunger and cold on the road.
The sun is high in the sky.
The sun was shining brightly, but the children of the Lin family standing on the castle wall felt the coldness on their bodies. They saw a dark group of people approaching them from a distance, wearing rags and rags, but stretching as far as the eye could see. Everyone's eyes were like hungry wolves.
"Dangdangdang..."
The Lin family's alarm bell rang, and the Lin family disciples climbed onto the city wall one by one. Looking at the endless crowd, the faces of the Lin family became a little pale. He took a deep breath and said:
"Quickly, open the warehouse. Each person in the Lin family will be given five pieces of spiritual stone. Tell the disciples of the Lin family not to be reluctant. Otherwise, if the person dies, the spiritual stone will also belong to others. Everyone holds the spiritual stone for me and releases the Taoist magic. , kill me hard."
】
The spirit stones were quickly distributed, but deep worry still appeared on the face of the head of the Lin family.
The spiritual energy is exhausted, and it is now difficult to find spiritual stones in Tianxuan. The spiritual stones of various sects and families are all saved in the past, and some are used less. Moreover, the way of heaven has shrunk and become extremely thin. The monks cannot borrow the power of heaven and earth at all. Even if you use spirit stones. The Taoism released by the spirit stone cannot borrow the power of heaven and earth, and can only rely on the monks themselves and the spiritual energy extracted from the spirit stone as the driving force. It can release Taoist magic, but its power is more than a hundred times smaller than before.
The most important thing is that every time it is consumed like this, the family's spiritual stones will be consumed quickly. Without the spirit stone, if such an overwhelming number of hungry people come again, how can the Lin family deal with it?
Only to be killed.
"Boom boom..."
The hungry people began to attack the castle, but what they in Shadow Realm were doing was Taoism. Although their power had been greatly reduced, it would still be Taoism if it were reduced. On the hungry people's side, 99% of them are mortals. But these hungry mortals were already red-eyed and frantically attacked the Lin family castle.
But they were only mortals, and they were still hungry and cold, and they didn't have much strength left in their bodies. The power of the Taoist magic released by the Lin family monks is very low, and they are completely unable to borrow the power of heaven and earth. But even so, using the Tao method to extract the spiritual energy from the spiritual stone and release it is a massacre for mortals.
When the Lin family monks saw the situation, they naturally would not stay in the castle all the time. Such defense would be a waste of spiritual stones. The experienced head of the Lin family knew that he should rush out at this time, considering these hungry and cold mortals. As long as he was ferocious enough and showed the tendency to charge, I am afraid that with one charge, these mortals would collapse and run away in all directions. In this way, the danger of being surrounded by the Lin family was overcome, and spiritual stones were saved.
"Disciple of the Lin family, kill me!"
The head of the Lin family roared and rushed out of the castle. The monks of the Lin family followed closely behind the leader. Sure enough, the situation was just as the head of the Lin family imagined, and the hungry and cold mortals collapsed. They fled in all directions. Some mortals were too scared to even run away. Their legs became weak and they lay on the ground.
Fifth Jianhen's mind was buzzing and his expression was blurred, but he still remembered looking for the old woman and young woman during the rout. He knew that they had been following the team, but they were a little far away. He ran in that direction with the flow of people, surrounded by people who were fleeing, and behind him were people who were chasing him. The whole space was filled with the sounds of screams and pursuit. This environment and this sound seemed to evoke memories in his mind, and the faint sounds in his mind became clearer and clearer.
The demon monks were also fleeing. They did not expect that the Lin family would be so decisive and use the spirit stones from the beginning. They did not want to fight head-on with the Lin family, so they were also fleeing, and they fled very quickly. Leaving mortals far behind. They saw the young and old who were following the team. They kept running past them, making the old and young look panicked and at a loss. Then those young and old saw the defeated mortals running towards this side. They screamed in fear and turned around and ran away in panic.
"boom……"
The fleeing team caught up with the young and old team, and fear made them run wildly and trample on each other.
The fifth sword mark still maintained the last trace of consciousness, and his eyes were searching around. Then he saw the young woman being knocked to the ground and disappearing into the crowd. He screamed and ran in that direction with all his strength. He finally ran there and saw the young woman and the old woman lying on the ground. There were dense footprints on their bodies. Some parts of their bodies had collapsed, and it looked like their bones had been broken by trampling on them. He squatted down, turned the two people over with trembling hands, and found that the two people were dead.
"boom!"
He was knocked to the ground, and then people kept running on his body. Because of hunger and running, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and he saw his wife being trampled to death. Although he was just a son-in-law, his wife was very kind to him. Although the old woman has a harsher mouth, she also has a kind heart. This blow made him even more confused, as if he was about to die.
This feeling gave him a familiar feeling, and a picture appeared in his mind. He was being chased, just like now. He was running for his life crazily, and someone was chasing him behind him, shouting at the same time. become clear.
"Fifth Sword Mark, do you think we only killed the Taiqing Sect? We killed all the immortal monks.
This Tianxuan should belong to our demonic path! "
"The world is dominated by our demons, hahaha..."
"The fifth sword mark, tsk tsk, the Shaoyang Sect's peerless genius is now like a bereaved dog, hahaha..."
"Don't run away!"
"You can't escape!"
"I just like killing geniuses, geniuses who have not grown up, hahaha..."
The confusion in Fifth Jianhen's eyes began to become clear, and it became clear very quickly. It was as if a previously closed door had been pushed open, and memories suddenly emerged like a fountain.
"I am the fifth sword mark! The fifth sword mark of Shaoyang Sect!" He looked down at his hands: "Where is my sword?"
His eyes fell on the finger of his left hand, where there was a ring, his storage ring. He suddenly rushed out to the left.
"boom……"
A flaming knife struck the place where he was originally. He dodged and was not struck, but it struck the old woman and the young woman, instantly igniting a fire.
"Qiang!"
The fifth sword mark took out a sword from the storage ring and held a spiritual stone in his left hand. With one slash of the sword, a monk from the Lin family was killed. Then with a wave of his hand, he put the still burning corpses of the old woman and young woman into the storage ring, and ran away in one direction, with the sound of pursuit from the Lin family monks coming from behind.
More than an hour later.
A place in the mountains.
The fifth sword mark was sitting in front of the two tombs. At this time, he had completely recovered his memory, but he had no idea why Tianxuan's spiritual energy was exhausted.
He turned to look in the direction of the middle.
"I want to return to the sect! Ask Bai Tianxuan why he became like this."
He stood up and strode down the mountain.
Northland.
Qingyun Sect.
The main hall was busy, and Gu Shuo was sitting behind a bookcase, constantly dealing with one matter after another. There was heavy snow and ice and the weather was bad. Although there are rivers opened in advance and food is transported to all parts of the North, there is still a shortage of food after all, for the huge number of mortals.
not enough!
Not enough!
People die of hunger and cold every day.
Gu Shuo never thought that no one would die in this catastrophe. All he wanted was to reduce the number of deaths as much as possible. Leave as much fire as possible for the human race. It was already late at night, and the night pearl on the dome of the hall was emitting light, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps. A disciple rushed in.
"Alliance leader, the demon clan has launched an attack."
Gu Shuo suddenly raised his head and said, "Tell me in detail."
The disciple looked a little pale and said: "The demon clans from the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest have begun to attack our northern land."
"How long have you been attacking? What is the current situation?"
"The news was sent by the Lightning Eagle. It has been attacking for half a month. This is the news half a month ago. Our defense line has not been breached yet."
Bei Wushuang perked up and said, "Gu Shuo, thanks to the defense line you built in advance."
Gu Shuo nodded and immediately issued an order: "Use the Lightning Eagle to reply to the letter, asking them not only to defend themselves, but also to collect as many monster corpses as possible. These corpses can be provided to us monks, and the food saved in this way will You can give more to mortals.”
Bei Wushuang nodded and said: "Yes, although the spiritual energy is exhausted, the monsters still have spiritual power in their bodies, which mortals cannot bear. But it can maintain the functions of our monks. In this way, the food saved can be used by more of mortals survived.”
Gu Shuo stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Whatever we lack, the demon clan will send us whatever it is. It's great."
"Hahaha..." Everyone in the hall laughed.
"Brother Wushuang, I'll leave the matter to you for the time being. I'm going to go around each defense line. Xiaobing!"
"Oh!" Xiao Bing, who was sitting on the steps outside the hall, turned to look at Gu Shuo.
"let's go!"
The biting cold wind was even more raging in the sky. Gu Shuo sat cross-legged on Xiao Bing's body, holding a spirit stone in his hand and holding up a defensive shield. Xiao Bing spread his arms and flew towards the north. Although his spiritual energy was exhausted, Xiao Bing was still extremely fast. It only took four days to fall on the defense line facing the north.
Qingyi Zongyue, who was in charge of this line of defense, came forward and said, "Alliance leader."
Gu Shuo jumped off Xiao Bing's back: "How is it?"
"We just repelled a wave of monster attacks, and now the monsters are going crazy. The attack is too fierce."
Gu Shuo stood on the city wall and looked out of the city. I saw that the monsters outside the city had retreated and were concentrated about three thousand meters away from the city wall. The ground was bright red, but there were not many demon corpses. He frowned and said:
"Where is the corpse of the demon clan?"
"They were all eaten or taken away by the demon clan."
Gu Shuo knew that the Lightning Eagle was not as fast as Xiao Bing and should not have arrived here at this time, so he said:
"This won't work. When the demon clan retreats next time, we will fight out. We can't give the demon clan a chance to snatch the body, and then we will snatch the demon clan's body back. This is the ration of our monks, and it is the best in the catastrophe. rations.”
"I've thought about it too, but I'm afraid there will be too many casualties."
"You have to do this even if there are casualties. Such casualties are worth it. Recruit troops, continue to recruit troops, and maintain the number of troops. What we humans lack now is rations, not the number of people."
"good!"
An hour later, Gu Shuo finished listening to Yue Qingyi's report, decided on a strategy, and then left in Xiaobing. It went to the east, then to the south facing the central direction, and finally to the west, which borders the west. At this time, everyone in the West also received the news that the Lightning Eagle had returned. When Gu Shuo landed, he saw the human race breaking out of the defense line. Hunting down those monsters.
It landed on the city wall, and the defenders on the city wall paid their respects one after another:
"Alliance leader!"
Gu Shuo waved his hand, telling them to keep their duties, and then looked outside the city. Searching with his eyes, he saw Sun Yi who was leading the way. And it was also judged that the human race had an absolute advantage. After all, the demon clan in the North had been massacred several times by the leaders of Gu Shuo and Qingyun Sect. In Tianxuan, they were the weakest compared to the demon clan in other territories.
Half an hour later, the demon clan had fled, and the human race began to clean up the battlefield. Seeing the monster corpses everywhere, every human race had a bright smile on their face, and Gu Shuo on the city wall also had a look of relief on his face.
"Dengdengdeng..."
Sun Yi walked up to the city wall: "Alliance leader!"
Gu Shuo smiled and nodded: "Well done, how are the casualties?"
"In the past month, the casualties have been quite large, as few as 100,000."
"conscription!"
"The conquest is already underway."
"Hmm!" Gu Shuo muttered: "The demon clan's attack on us will not last long. The demon clan in the North is not strong to begin with, and their numbers are not as large as in other areas of Tianxuan. After all, we have massacred them several times. "
Sun Yi smiled and said: "Yes, otherwise the human race at this time may have very few left and are just hanging on."
Having said this, he looked at Gu Shuo with admiration in his eyes: "Thanks to the alliance leader for making arrangements in advance and establishing a line of defense. Ripening the food will help all directions."
When Gu Shuo heard this, he sighed and said, "But even so, the deaths of the people in the North have exceeded one billion."
"This is inevitable!" Sun Yi also sighed: "The sudden catastrophe happened in winter. Therefore, the majority of people died from natural disasters. In addition, those who died from the turbulence of all parties at the beginning of the catastrophe, this is Tianxuan is already considered rare."
"Huh? Have you received news from other areas of Tianxuan?"
