Chapter 137
Chapter 137
After walking for more than an hour, everyone's naked skin was hurt by the wind in the desert. The dry climate made it difficult for them to recuperate in the Palace of Souls for more than ten days. Uncomfortable, but fortunately they brought enough water when they came out this time.
While sharing the water bag with his teammates, he continued to walk, trying to reach the next city before dark. At this moment, a soul master who was walking in the front and responsible for the investigation suddenly stopped, pointed to a dark shadow in the distance and said: "There is a situation."
"What's the matter?" Mo Weian asked immediately, then stood up and looked in the direction the soul master pointed.
He is an eighth-level soul master, his physical and mental strength have been strengthened, and his sensing ability is naturally stronger than most people.He stared at the suspicious black shadow for a long time, and the expression on his face gradually changed.
Zhuang Yi watched him change from being calm at the beginning to being surprised or even unbelievable, and finally frowned slightly, staring at the black shadow for a long time, seeing that everyone stopped and waited for Mo Wei'an, Zhuang Yi Yi asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, what is it?"
"Senior..."
Zhuang Yi was taken aback, and he circulated the soul power in his body, using the eyes of the seventh-level soul beast swallowing the sky, Zhuang Yi really saw that the row of black shadows were actually dozens of human figures, although they couldn't see their specific faces clearly , but judging from his body shape and clothing, as a person who fought with Xueren, Zhuang Yi also recognized Zhang Chengluo and others.
Zhuang Yi and the others haven't seen Xueren since the battle of strange demons in Yuhun Palace.The lounge of the Demon Hunting Team is far away from Xueren, and the Demon Hunting Team has suffered heavy losses, so it is not convenient to meet each other. In addition, before the war, the relationship between the Demon Hunting Team and Xueren was not awkward. , Zhuang Yi and others thought that it would be better not to meet each other than to be embarrassed, which led to the fact that they didn't have time to see Xue Ren until they left.
At this moment, Xueren was actually seen at the place where Yuhun Palace meets the next city, the members of the Demon Hunter Team were naturally very surprised.
This is the only way for Zhuang Yi and others to pass. Xue Ren appeared here, could it be that he was waiting for them?
The conversation between Zhuang Yi and Mo Weian was naturally overheard by the members of the Demon Hunt Team.Having fought side by side with Xueren, everyone's feelings for Xueren are also very unusual. Now that Xueren is actually in front, the expressions on many people's faces become subtle.
Lei Xiu took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and said, "Go ahead."
Everyone came back to their senses, and with Lei Xiu as the leader, they approached Xueren step by step.
As they got closer, the figures of Zhang Chengluo and the others became clearer. There were 24 people standing in front of them at this time, and five of them even had different degrees of physical disabilities.
In the war of strange demons, nearly half of the people who fell from Xueren fell. Later, after the treatment of the healers of Yuhun Temple, some people survived, but more than 20 people left forever.
"Long time no see." Lei Xiu looked at Zhang Chengluo and said.
"Long time no see." Zhang Chengluo looked at the members of the demon hunting team and saw the way they looked at him. Zhang Chengluo twitched his lips, looked at Mo Wei'an and said, "You promised me to walk with you. You take us away from the wall of miracles and the Palace of Souls.
Mo Weian was startled: "I..."
"Although a lot of things happened when I entered the Soul Palace due to some accidents, this promise should not be invalidated." Zhang Chengluo said, looking at Lei Xiu, "In the end, you left by yourself, but you didn't take Xueren away. "
"What do you want to say?" Lei Xiu looked at Zhang Chengluo and said bluntly.
"There are only 24 people left in Xueren, and some of them are disabled. I don't know if Captain Leihu is willing to fight side by side with us."
A trace of surprise flashed in Lei Xiu's eyes: "Are you going to leave with us?"
"Yes."
"Even if we know that there are still many strange monsters ahead, if we follow us, it is very likely that there will be another death or injury?"
"Yes."
"why."
"The War of Strange Demons is the last time we will fight for the Palace of Souls." Zhang Chengluo said, "Before the wall of miracles, I once said that Xueren would not return to the Palace of Souls. It was like that at the beginning. It still is.”
Seeing that Lei Xiu didn't speak, Zhang Chengluo said: "From now on, there will be no more snow blades in this world."
Zhuang Yi looked at Zhang Chengluo, then at the person standing behind Zhang Chengluo, and sighed in his heart: What a...unexpected answer.
Xue Ren's strength, when he returned to the Palace of Souls, had already amazed the Palace of Souls, and his brilliant performance in the war of strange demons made the people of Palace of Souls even more impressive.This team itself was born in the Soul Palace, and the people in the Soul Palace must have tried their best to keep them, but after the strange demon war, even if only half of Xueren's team was left, and some of them were disabled, Zhang Chengluo still resolutely left .
Participating in the Strange Demon War meant that they were still grateful for the Palace of Souls, but appearing here at this time also proved their stubbornness in their bones.
It can be seen from this that Zhang Chengluo attaches great importance to promises in his bones, and... does not allow betrayal.
However, thinking about Zhang Chengluo's past deeds, he was able to run away from the family of war soul masters and come to Yuhun Palace for a promise. After staying for so many years, this person's heart can be seen, so he will make such a move today. It may be unbelievable to put it on others, but if it is Zhang Chengluo, it is reasonable.
"Then let's go together." At this moment, Lei Xiu said.
Zhang Chengluo didn't expect Lei Xiu to agree so quickly. After he was taken aback, he quickly merged into the Demon Hunt Team with Xueren, and the two teams merged and walked together.
"Xue Ren, it's still Xue Ren." When Zhang Chengluo walked behind Lei Xiu and walked side by side with Mo Wei'an, Lei Xiu turned to look at Zhang Chengluo and said.
Zhang Chengluo looked up at Lei Xiu for a moment, then finally lowered his head and said nothing.
Mo Wei'an looked at Zhang Chengluo, the surprise just now was well hidden by Mo Wei'an as Zhang Chengluo stood beside him, he is a smart person, Zhuang Yi can think of it, Mo Wei'an as a partner with Zhang Chengluo People with similar identities can understand better, he thought for a while, and said to Lei Xiu and Zhuang Yi: "In this case, it's better to regroup."
When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Mo Wei'an.
It seemed that because of Zhang Chengluo's appearance, Mo Wei'an's mood became much happier. He tapped his chin with one hand and said: "We are a demon hunting team as a whole, but the first team of fighting soul masters and the first team of assisting soul masters. There is also a combination of soul masters and soul assistants...Since the snow blade is still retained, it is better to let other teams have new code names, and it will be more convenient to give orders when assigning battles in the future."
Mo Weian's words immediately made everyone fall into deep thought, and after a while, Haiming was the first to raise his hand in agreement.
Seeing this, the senior soul master who led the first team of battle soul masters took the lead and said: "Since there is already someone named Xue Ren, why not call us Feng Ya." Sharp Arrow is similar to Xue Ren.
"Our formation spirit master is called Zhaixing, how about it?" Hearing this, Haiming looked at the people behind him.Zhaixing is a very advanced formation name. Haiming has not learned it until now. This is his goal. Naming the team with this also represents his hope for the team.
Seeing that they were moving so quickly, the senior soul master of the assistant soul master, Mo Weian had just proposed this proposal, and they decided on the name, as if they had discussed it. He pondered for a moment, absorbed Haiming's experience, and said: " Then we are called Jiumang?" Jiumang represents the eternity of change, and for soul assistants, it is like life.
"Then... If that's the case, I propose Zhang Chengluo, captain of the eighth-level king soul master Xueren, as the deputy team of the demon hunting team. Everyone should have no objection?" Seeing that everyone cooperated with his proposal so much, Mo Wei'an hit the railway while it was hot.
With Zhang Chengluo's strength, he is more than enough to be the captain. He has become the new deputy team. Naturally, there is no objection to the demon hunting team that has seen him formidable.
Zhuang Yi saw that Mo Weian let Xueren reintegrate into the Demon Hunt Team without any trace, and quickly solved Xueren's awkward position in the Demon Hunt Team. Looking at the slightly sly smile on Mo Weian's face, Zhuang Yi curled his lips slightly, turned his head, and walked side by side with Lei Xiu.
Thus, more than 100 and 50 members of the newly-born demon hunting team, with a big white crane whose hair has not yet fully grown, walked out of the Palace of Souls and officially set off towards the inland with apprehensive expectations for their hometown city.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, Zhuang Yi and others traveled all the way across the northwest, crossing five big cities.
When the strange demons attacked the Palace of Souls, they almost completely occupied several cities near the Palace of Souls, and became the bases of a huge army of strange demons.In that battle, more than half of the strange demons were lost, and all the top powerhouses were wiped out. After being reduced to homeless dogs and fleeing, the cities where the strange demons had been stationed were also completely deserted.
The humans who originally lived here have been scared away or directly killed, and the human buildings have been destroyed by strange monsters, making it impossible to live in the short term.
After the Great War of Strange Demons, the people of Yuhundian have dispatched people to nearby cities to understand the situation, and tried their best to communicate with the other two Souldians in the mainland. These few cities that Yuhun Palace has not had time to investigate.
Looking at these desolate and abandoned cities, even the plants are dead, and the whole world is gray, like a layer of heavy gray sand pressing on the heart, everyone feels uncomfortable.
Most of the existing members of the Demon Hunt Team are young students, and their hometowns are also near Allen College, so they went around one city after another. Although they were sad, they looked into the distance and still had hope in their hearts.
But there are also some soul masters whose hometown is near the Soul Master Palace. They have graduated from school and originally lived in their hometown. At the beginning, they went to Taikang City to watch the soul master competition. , the hometown was invaded by strange demons, not to mention relatives, even the buildings in memory were turned into ruins.
The hope was in vain, and he just left for a few months. After returning, everything became unrecognizable. When Zhuang Yi looked at those tough men on the battlefield, he knelt on the ground and shed silently as if all his strength had been taken away. Tears, he looked at their backs, and felt as if something was severely blocked in his heart, unable to vent, he could only stand behind them and accompany them quietly.
In addition to these living people, the ashes of the members of the Demon Hunt Team who died on the battlefield are also kept by the members of the Demon Hunt Team. When passing by the hometowns of those dead, the members of the Demon Hunt Team will personally collect The ashes were scattered in their homeland, and their wishes were fulfilled.
The atmosphere was heavy along the way, more than 100 soul masters were walking on the edge of these deserted cities, and as they got farther away from the Soul Palace, the degree of destruction of the city finally gradually decreased, but still no one was seen.
When they came to the sixth city after leaving the Soul Palace, they could gradually see some green vegetation, and the eyes of the demon hunting team who were almost blown into bacon by the northwest wind began to shine.
Green vegetation is growing, indicating that there is a water source nearby!
Thinking of this, the members of the Demon Hunt Team wished to rush over immediately as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and the fastest white crane was the first to bear the brunt.
"There is water and a bath!! There is a room and a nest to sleep in!!" After so many days of walking in the field, the white crane, which was originally only half of its feathers, was also bright and beautiful. It turned into a dirty gray crane.
As a bird that loves cleanliness, being so dirty is simply torture for Bai He!Although the members of the Demon Hunting Team didn't dislike it, it was worried every day what would happen if the Amethyst Phoenix jumped out and saw it like this.Originally half of the body was bald enough to be unpopular, but if it was not clean, wouldn't the Purple Crystal Phoenix Bird dislike it even more? !
Thinking of this, the white crane fluttered its wings, wishing to teleport a few hundred meters.
Seeing that the white crane was in such a hurry, Zhuang Yi quickly stopped it: "Don't be so impulsive. After walking so far, you finally see the water source and plants. There may be something lurking in front of you, waiting for the rabbit. It's better to be careful."
"It's okay, I'm an eighth-level monster. Ordinary little things will be conquered by my strength and beauty when they see me!" Bai He said confidently.
Thinking of its eighth-level monster status, Zhuang Yi hesitated for a moment, seeing that Baihe was impatient to go over, Zhuang Yi said: "Then you explore the way ahead, report any abnormalities quickly, and if you encounter danger, you should yell. "
"I know, I know." Bai He waved his wings and said indifferently. Seeing that Zhuang Yi didn't continue to stop him, Bai He immediately ran wildly with his paws. Although half of his body was bald, he flapped his wings vigorously. Even if you don't fly high, you can run faster by jumping.
Seeing this, Zhuang Yi shook his head helplessly.Neither he nor Lei Xiu have such a jumping temperament, but they actually raised such a lively white crane. Seeing the white crane running farther and farther, Zhuang Yi was about to turn his head and say something to everyone, but the next moment, a whine came from not far ahead Come.
Zhuang Yi glanced back, and saw the white crane fluttering its wings to a height of half a meter, as if tripped by something in mid-air, it suddenly fell to the ground, and then a drawstring tied the white crane's long legs With the left claw, under the surprised eyes of everyone in the Demon Hunt Team, the white crane was tightly bound by the rope, and with the "click" sound of the mechanism opening, the white crane was hung upside down in the air!
Zhuang Yi quickly raised his hand, and a small sunflower appeared in Zhuang Yi's hand. The sunflower seeds exploded like bullets, breaking the rope tied to the white crane. With the sound of "dong", he was petrified The white crane fell to the ground in a straight line.
Mo Wei'an and Liang An, who were standing beside Zhuang Yi, both glanced at Xiang Yinkui in Zhuang Yi's palm. Zhuang Yi didn't notice their gazes. Seeing Bai He fell to the ground and didn't move, he immediately ran towards Bai He past.
Seeing that Zhuang Yi was getting closer and closer to it, Bai He, who fell to the ground, hurriedly shouted: "Don't come over, you can trigger an attack that I can't even detect. The opponent is probably level nine or ten!"
Hearing this, Zhuang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then ignored Bai He's horrified gaze, and ran to Bai He's side more quickly. Seeing that Bai He was using his soul power to protect him in a panic, Zhuang Yi couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked Bai He's head: "No A top expert is a hunter's trap!"
"?" Bai He was taken aback.
Zhuang Yi asked Baihe to remove the protective cover, and while supporting Baihe's wings to make it stand up, he said: "You rely too much on soul power, so you didn't notice these hidden mechanisms. This is what hunters use to hunt wild animals. It is useful against ordinary wild beasts, but if you encounter a magical beast, you can break free with a little bit of soul power."
Baihe used to stay in human hunting gardens and monster forests, so he has heard about these human methods, but it is now very powerful, and it has been a long time since it encountered such a thing. It was easy to get tricked, and thinking of saying such embarrassing words, Bai He immediately covered his face with his wings: blah, blah, blah blah.
At this moment, all the members of the Demon Hunting Team also ran in front of Zhuang Yi. After hearing Zhuang Yi's words and seeing Bai He's expression, everyone smiled knowingly.
Lei Xiu stood beside Zhuang Yi, looked at the rope that Bai He broke free, and said, "Is there a human here?"
Lei Xiu's words immediately made the entire demon hunting team quiet. Everyone looked at the rope, and then realized what this mechanism represented, and immediately looked at Zhuang Yi.
Zhuang Yi was an ordinary person in his last life, without soul power, and stayed in the World of Warcraft Forest. In addition to relying on his own physical skills, he also dabbled in these hunting mechanisms. He bent down and followed the rope of the mechanism. After walking a few steps, he finally judged: "Although the rope looks old, the soil has been refurbished. It can be seen that it should have been done in the past few days."
Zhuang Yi said, turning his head to look at everyone: "It seems that we are very lucky. In the place where the water source is in front, the people living are not strange monsters or monsters, but human beings, probably surviving civilians."
After Zhuang Yi finished speaking, the eyes of the entire Demon Hunt team lit up.
"Let's move on, let's talk about people first."
The members of the Demon Hunter Team nodded immediately.
He helped the white crane whose self-esteem was hurt and took it away. This time, the white crane didn't run away again. It followed Zhuang Yi's buttocks aggrievedly. Looking at Liang An Haiming and others through the gap between the wings, he explained in a low voice: "Actually, I am usually very smart and quick-witted. It was an accident just now."
Seeing Liang An and others looking at it suspiciously, Bai He remembered that they couldn't understand what it said, and it was about to release its mental power to communicate with them. After sensing a mistake, it immediately jumped in front of Zhuang Yi without saying a word, spread its wings and said majesticly: "There are monsters ahead!"
After Baihe's voice fell, the two eighth-level soul masters, Mo Weian and Zhang Chengluo, quickly sensed it.
In front of the place where civilians survived, there is the breath of monsters, which is obviously not a good thing.Without the slightest hesitation, the members of the demon hunting team immediately started to run faster with the blessing of soul power.
The closer they got, the clearer everyone could sense, and Zhuang Yi even heard human cries for help!
"Bai He, go over and see what's going on!" Zhuang Yi said to Bai He.
Among the entire team, the fastest is Lei Xiu who was not injured before. Now Lei Xiu has only a little soul power left in his body, which can at most support him to keep up with everyone's footsteps. The monster white crane has become the fastest of.
The white crane was so embarrassing just now, and it was time to show off its abilities. It flapped its wings immediately, and under the blessing of high-intensity soul power, it disappeared around the corner in a few moments.
Zhuang Yi was reluctantly relieved. When he and the entire demon hunting team arrived at the location of the monster, they found that they had already arrived at the destination they wanted to reach—near the water source.
The white crane that arrived before the demon hunting team had already wrestled with a giant python half-hidden in the stream.
And not far from the edge of the stream, there was a slightly old middle-aged man holding two frightened children tightly with his hands, while his eyes were firmly fixed on the belly of the giant python.
Zhuang Yi followed his gaze, and when he saw a human figure looming in the belly of the giant python, Zhuang Yi shrank his pupils: "Baihe, be careful not to hurt its body."
At the same time, Mo Weian brought people to the middle-aged man's side, and first protected them to avoid being accidentally injured by the white crane and the giant python.
The middle-aged man originally focused all his attention on the giant python and the white crane, but suddenly he saw so many people in front of him, and because of the spirit beasts in front of him, the members of the demon hunting team basically released their soul power. The man noticed that the more than 100 people in front of him were all imposing, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Weian quickly comforted her gently.
The middle-aged man was infected by Mo Weian's affinity, and he could see that the members of the Demon Hunters were helping him. Holding the two stunned children in his arms, the middle-aged man pointed at the giant python and tremblingly said: "The two children are ignorant, but they want to come to play by the stream. My father and I came to look for them, but...the result..."
Mo Weian looked at the giant python, and quickly understood what was going on with the python's protruding abdomen.At this moment, the white crane suddenly jumped on top of the giant python's head, its claws were pinching the giant python's head, and its long mouth was pointed at the giant python's seven inches, and a white beam of soul power pierced through it instantly. The body of the giant python directly separated its corpse, and the next moment, the white crane jumped onto the belly of the giant python, and carefully cut open the giant python's belly with soul power.
A white-haired old man was pulled out by the white crane along with the contents of the python's belly.
When the middle-aged man saw the old man, he immediately wanted to pounce on him, but Mo Weian hurriedly stopped him and asked Jiu Mang from the Demon Hunt Team to go up for treatment.
This giant python is a level five magical beast. It must have been so hungry that it even swallowed a living person. Since the old man was swallowed for a short time, and the assistant soul master of the demon hunting team is level six, several people worked together to get rid of it on the spot. After going all out for treatment, the old man finally slowly opened his eyes as the purple light of the assistant soul master disappeared.
"Okay, it's all right." Seeing this, Mo Weian let go of the man, allowing him to rush forward and hug the old man, crying loudly.
Seeing the expression on the middle-aged man's face, the members of the Demon Hunting Team were touched by the scene, and many soul masters were touched by the scene. Thinking of their relatives, they couldn't help but lower their heads and did not speak.
Seeing this, Mo Weian simply turned his head and comforted the two petrified children in a low voice.
After the middle-aged man hugged the old man to vent his emotions, he quickly came back to his senses. He wiped away his tears in embarrassment, and saw the two sons slowly recovering under Mo Wei'an's comfort. There is still a look of fear, but at least he is not dull anymore. The middle-aged man looked at the members of the demon hunting team with red eyes, bent his knees together with the old man, and was about to kneel down to thank him for saving his life. Zhuang Yi had quick eyesight and quick hands. stop them.
"We are soul masters passing by here, it's nothing more than a little effort, you two don't need to be too polite." Zhuang Yi looked at them and said softly.
The two were stopped by Zhuang Yi's soul power and couldn't move. Knowing that this was the supernatural power of the soul master, the two didn't quarrel for a long time. The middle-aged man gratefully said to the demon hunting team: "I didn't expect that all the soul masters are willing to help you." ...the grace of saving lives cannot be repaid..."
"Soul masters and civilians are both human beings, but they have powers that ordinary people don't have. They usually enjoy respect. In times of crisis, it is only natural to help you."
When the middle-aged man and the old man heard this, they raised their heads and looked at Zhuang Yi in surprise.
Zhuang Yi said gently, "Are you two people from this city? We passed by here and wanted to spend the night here..."
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man immediately replied without hesitation: "We are from the city and live not far from here. Besides us, there are also some people who escaped from other places. We all live together and just try to survive. If you don't dislike all the master soul masters, you can come with us..."
"Thank you very much." Zhuang Yi said immediately.
