Chapter 191: Killing Long Yuan

Night, at the south gate of Wujiu City, on the tower.

A man in armor, holding the horse mask on the city wall, looked far away in the direction of Qianlong Garden, with a worried look on his face.

"Has there been any abnormality in Qianlong Garden today?"

Hearing the question from the general in front of him, the adjutant behind him took a half step forward, and the skirt armor on his lower body made a metallic friction sound as he moved.

"General, when night fell, the Dragon Guard sent someone to report that everything was normal today, nothing unusual, and the Dragon Abyss beast had returned to rest underground when the sun set."

"Please rest assured, General."

The man who was known as the general who guarded the country listened to the report from the adjutant in the rear, but his slightly frowned brows showed no sign of relaxation. He stroked the rough and cold stone wall in front of him and said doubtfully:

"I don't know why, since the afternoon, I have felt a dull sense of oppression in my heart, and it has become heavier and heavier, and I am always uneasy."

"General, are you worried about the assassin who broke into Qianlong Garden a few days ago? Although the Dragon Guard suffered many casualties that time, they succeeded in taking him down after all."

While speaking, the adjutant seemed to remember the scene of killing ten with one man and blood and flesh flying everywhere. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and continued to comfort him.

"Besides, at night, the dragon abyss beasts are sleeping a hundred meters underground. No human can reach that depth. General, just be at ease."

When the general heard the word "underground", the solemnity on his face eased a little. He just recalled the assassin a few days ago, and his palm unconsciously exerted force, digging out a piece of stone powder on the stone wall.

"The Shadow Organization will not give up. The assassin is just the beginning. There will definitely be more actions in the near future. Now arrange a scout to go to Qianlong Garden to issue my orders."

"The guard of the beasts must be strengthened in recent days. They must not leave. Even at night, they must not relax in the garden. Things like the previous ones that were discovered after the enemy sneaked in must not happen again."

"Yes!"

The footsteps behind him gradually faded away. The general scattered the stone powder in his hand and sighed.

"Your Majesty, why are you always so impatient?"

The image of a white-robed Ster countryman appeared in his mind. The general on the tower was full of worry. While sighing, he suddenly paused.

Although it was dark tonight, it was the first time he looked up at the sky so directly. He saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, no stars were visible, and the clouds were thick and bloated, as dark as if the whole sky was about to be pressed down.

"Such a celestial phenomenon..."

While he was muttering in a low voice, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. When he was about to think of something, a loud shout came from a distance, interrupting his thoughts.

"General, the hunting ground in the western suburbs is on fire!"

The shouting made the general turn his head suddenly and look at the location on the west side of the city. The hunting ground in the western suburbs was close to the Wanli Golden Autumn fertile field. Once the fire spread, the consequences would be disastrous.

Looking at the wild, the end of the field of vision was already golden and red flames surging, and it was spreading rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The only thing to be thankful for was that it had not yet ravaged the fertile field.

Thinking of the oppressive feeling that had been lingering in his heart today, a faint fear emerged in his heart. He had a premonition that something big might happen tonight.

But the more panic he felt, the more calm and solemn he looked. The way to be a general is to calm your heart first. You should not change your expression when Mount Tai collapses in front of you, and you should not blink when a deer appears on your left. Then you can control the benefits and harms and deal with the enemy.

In a critical moment, everyone can be panic-stricken, but he cannot. Moreover, the fire in the hunting ground was not an accident.

"Inform the whole army, block the four gates, and be on alert throughout the city. The imperial guards will protect the imperial city. Eight hundred Yulin cavalrymen will follow me out of the city to put out the fire with the fire department."

The general's order, with the blessing of his internal strength, shook the South Gate. A chorus of applause rang out everywhere. Many soldiers and horses rushed from the tower to the key points of the city. The originally quiet Wujiu City gradually boiled with the spread of the order.

Soon, the gate on the west side of Wujiu City burst open, and a cavalry of nearly a thousand people rushed to the place where the fire rose with the rumbling sound of horses' hooves. The leader was the general who gave the order. The iron armor was cold in the night, and the cloak behind him was fluttering in the strong wind.

As a hunting ground exclusively for the royal family, the Western Suburbs Hunting Ground is naturally very vast, with lush vegetation and lush greenery. It can be said that the shadows of the trees are towering and the purple and green are reflected in the clouds. However, tonight, this hundred-acre forest garden has completely become a purgatory on earth with flames everywhere and raging fires.

From a distance, the hunting ground is already black smoke rising with the wind, red flames are burning in the road, golden red flames are shining in all directions, and hundreds of beasts are running in panic at the edge of the garden.

When the Yulin cavalry arrived near the hunting ground, they saw a group of wild beasts running wildly in front of them. There were tigers and leopards, cattle and sheep, and in the center of the beast tide, there were even more than ten elephants more than three meters tall. They ran in a row to form a high wall of flesh and blood, rumbling and rushing towards the formation.

At the edge of the hunting ground, the sound of horse hooves and beast roars came one after another, and even the earth was trembling slightly under the trampling of two waves.

"Draw the blade!"

"Clang... Clang... Clang..."

The general's roar was accompanied by the clang of the long sword being unsheathed. The flames flowed on the bright silver ring-headed sword, reflecting a dazzling red.

When two people meet on a narrow road, the brave advance and the cowardly die. The beast tide and cavalry rushed to each other and collided brazenly.

"Kill!!"

The killing on the ground gradually rose, and the murderous aura soared to the sky. The only spectator outside this fight was a black shadow that perfectly blended into the night above the battlefield.

Looking across the bloody waves on the ground, Xu Yue turned his sight indifferently and looked at the sea of ​​fire in front of him. After roughly assessing the scale, he retracted the Xiaoyun bow in his hand.

In the past ten minutes, he had already thrown dozens of flaming arrows into the hunting ground. With many fire points and the terrifying temperature of pure Yangyan, the sea of ​​fire has now spread to an uncontrollable point. Even if the cavalry below is allowed to rush to the hunting ground, they can only sigh in despair.

Before this vast forest is devoured by the flames, the sea of ​​fire will continue until the rainstorm hits.

Looking up at the cumulonimbus clouds above that are as thick as mountains, Xu Yue's metal wings behind him flapped and rolled up the wind and waves, driving him to fly directly above the sea of ​​fire.

Above the sea of ​​fire, because the air in the hunting ground was heated by the blazing flames, under the effect of the drastic temperature difference between cold and hot, the hot air with less density below began to surge rapidly, and then a turbulent updraft appeared.

The airflow carried a large amount of smoke and dust produced by the burning of the forest, and finally formed a majestic smoke column that penetrated the sky and the earth, and directly penetrated into the clouds in the sky.

Following the rising smoke column, Xu Yue also flew into the black sea of ​​clouds. During the flight, countless fine salt grains and mirabilite powder as fine as sand fell from the storage space, mixed with the rising smoke and dust and merged into this accumulative sea of ​​clouds.

…………

Below, the fire in the hunting ground in the western suburbs was blazing, and at this time, the palace of the Earth Dragon Kingdom was also boiling. The fire dragons composed of the imperial guards patrolled the palace walls intensively, with the swords in their hands shining coldly. At this juncture, if any suspicious person was found, they would be killed!

In the corner of the palace garden, a middle-aged man wearing a white mechanical robe with the national emblem of the Ster Kingdom printed on his chest quietly appeared on the eaves of the palace.

The eyes under the glass hood passed over the palace wall and cast towards the towering smoke column in the distance. Then, he looked up and paused for a few seconds on the clouds above where lightning was already flickering, and finally turned his head to look at Qianlong Garden in the south.

"This style of behavior is not like the barbarians of Xuanwu Country who only have martial arts in their minds."

…………

At the edge of the hunting ground, after fighting against the beast tide, the eight hundred Yulin cavalry finally arrived near the sea of ​​fire.

But after approaching, facing the endless huge sea of ​​fire, a deep sense of despair rose in the hearts of each cavalryman.

In front of this blazing fire disaster that eroded thousands of meters, their mere eight hundred people were like ants. Even if they were all filled in, it would be just a drop in the bucket, and they seemed so small and powerless.

The general in front of the crowd clenched his teeth, and the raging anger in his eyes seemed to be more noisy than the flames in front.

From the discovery of the fire to the rush to the hunting ground, the whole process took less than 30 minutes. In such a short time, a naturally occurring fire could not have rotted to this extent. It could only have been caused by human factors.

With a clang, the long sword in his hand, which was soaked in animal blood, returned to the sheath. He looked at the pale-faced Fire Officer Gong Zheng beside him. The other party was a senior official in Wujiu City who was specifically responsible for fire prevention and fire fighting.

"Gong Zheng, is there any way to put out this fire?"

Gong Zheng, who had just experienced a fight with the army, had not yet calmed down his intense heartbeat, and then faced such an exaggerated sea of ​​fire. At this time, his fingertips were trembling slightly. Scanning the fire scene in front of him, he barely calmed down, shook his head slowly, and pointed to the Jinqiu Woye Road on the right.

"General, the hunting ground is definitely lost. The most urgent task now is to build a large isolation zone on the right to prevent the fire from spreading to the golden autumn fertile land. Once the fertile land catches fire, the loss will be incalculable."

"Such natural disasters are no longer something that our manpower can put out, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless it happens that there is a sweet rain from the sky, but how can it be so timely? In the past..."

Gong Zheng's words continued, but the general had no intention of listening anymore. When he heard the word "sweet rain", he seemed to remember something and looked up at the sky.

I saw dark clouds covering the sky for thousands of miles. There were faint thunders in the rolling clouds, and flashes of lightning could be seen in between. Suddenly, a bean-sized raindrop fell from above and landed right on his forehead. A chill instantly spread from his forehead to his coccyx, and his whole body was cold.

"Crack!"

A thunder blast sounded in the sky, and the lightning danced like a silver snake, illuminating the general's tightened pupils below.

"The target is... the divine beast Long Yuan."

The difficult words came out of the general's mouth. He pulled the reins suddenly, and the warhorse turned around with a neigh, and then galloped towards Qianlong Garden without delay.

In the stunned eyes of all the Yulin riders, their general no longer cared about the sea of ​​fire in front of him after a thunder, but turned around and drove his horse back, leaving only the wind to convey the general's next order.

"You all help Gong Zheng to establish an isolation zone to prevent the flames from spreading to the fertile land, go!"

"Yes!"

In the back, the soldiers saluted their general's back as he walked away, while Gong Zheng in the crowd looked up at the clouds flashing with lightning in the sky, his expression a little dull.

"How could it be such a coincidence? It shouldn't be like this."

……………

"Da Da Da Da..."

The horse's hooves quickly crushed the water on the ground, drawing a white line in the rain curtain, and galloped forward. From the previous drop of water to now, in just a few minutes, the rain has turned into a torrential downpour.

Thunder rumbled overhead, and thunder exploded from time to time, the sound shook a hundred miles away. Beside me was a curtain of rain, the wind and rain were dark, and the space between the sky and the earth seemed to be filled with water curtains, leaving no gap at all.

Even though his vision was blocked and he could only rely on the flash of lightning to identify the road, the speed of the general's horse never slowed down, but became faster and faster.

The iron armor broke through the wind and rain, the scabbard kept beating the horse's buttocks, the galloping horse's hooves and the drum-like heartbeat echoed in his ears, and everything that happened tonight came to mind again.

First, the raging flames diverted everyone's attention, and then the torrential rain separated the connection between Wujiu City and Qianlong Garden. Finally, the rain poured down and forced out the mythical beast Long Yuan sleeping underground.

The plans are intertwined. He doesn't know how the other party did it, nor what other methods are behind it, but what is certain is that the other party's target must be the mythical beast Long Yuan, so now he rushes to the submarine as fast as possible. In Longyuan, evacuating the mythical beast from the underground is the safest choice.

‘It’s close! Close! ’

The outer wall of Qianlong Garden can be vaguely seen ahead, and the destination is very close at hand. But at this moment, the night suddenly becomes as bright as day.

"boom!!!"

A bright white giant pillar fell from the sky, and a huge white ball of light bloomed in the Qianlong Garden. The infinite light scattered and stung the eyes of the general on horseback. For the first time, a flash of light appeared on his face. He looked helpless.

The ball of light dissipated, and then a deafening roar resounded. The ground began to tremble violently, and a mushroom smoke cloud tens of meters high rose directly in front. The air waves mixed with the smoke and dust formed a ring visible to the naked eye that rapidly expanded outward.

The ring passed over the cavalry not far away. The war horse was torn apart by the incoming air waves. The general's breastplate was dented and flew out upside down. Dark blood spurted out from his mouth, but it was washed away without a trace by the rain in an instant.

His body fell to the ground, and the raindrops hit his cheeks like pebbles, causing pain. He managed to open his eyes, only to see a golden-red line of fire falling straight from the depths of the clouds.

"It turns out to be the country of St..."

……………

Qianlong Garden, in the huge pit in the southwest corner, a line of fire passed through the mushroom cloud above and fell into the pit.

The smoke and dust were torn apart by the whirlwind, revealing Xu Yue with golden-red wings in the middle. As he stepped forward, the wings behind him flapped again. The turbulent whirlwind roared outward from the center of Xu Yue, and the smoke and dust in the entire pit were They were quickly dispersed.

His sight fell on the corner of the pit, where there was still a ferocious earth dragon head. When he was aiming at the mythical beast Long Yuan emerging from the ground in the sea of ​​clouds, he deliberately shifted the point of impact downwards by an inch.

Unexpectedly, this long worm could actually survive with only one head left, and the broken wound seemed to be showing signs of self-healing.

"The vitality is really tenacious."

Seeing the disgusting scene where the eschar on Long Yuan's broken neck began to crack open inch by inch, and flesh and blood emerged bit by bit, Xu Yue couldn't help but let out a light tut, and then slowly stepped forward.

Just as it was approaching, the head of the corpse lying on the ground suddenly jumped up. Although it had no pupils, the head could accurately find Xu Yue's position. A huge mouth that occupied most of the face opened, with three layers of overlapping sharp teeth. The teeth began to rotate, and the fishy smell accompanied by strong suction moved towards the silver figure.

Xu Yue raised his head calmly. Before his head could fall down completely, a square-shaped painted halberd shot out, pushing his head upwards. Then, two wings inserted into Long Yuan's upper and lower jaws like blades, and the entire The giant mouth opens and lifts.

The next moment, boiling pure Yang Yan gushes out from Xu Yue's body and pours continuously into Long Yuan's mouth. The skin, flesh, bones, and brain are all turned into fly ash. At this point, there is only one living thing left in the pit. .

[You have killed the Earth Dragon Kingdom’s national guardian beast—Long Yuan]

[Longyuan is the totem belief of a country and occupies a certain weight in the world. You get 10.5% of the source of the world, and now you get a total of 31.1% of the source of the world]

[You get a treasure chest (purple). 】

In the midst of the fire entanglement, Xu Yue picked up the purple treasure box on the ground and threw it away with a smile on his face. The creatures killed by the main cannon were not within the scope of the talent's judgment and could not generate fire, so he deliberately aimed Long Yuan was spared for the sake of the fire and the souls of the mythical beasts he produced.

After a moment, the fire all around him was absorbed, and a beam of fire rose from the pit and flew towards the clouds in the sky.

In the sea of ​​black clouds, the Sun Chaser was floating quietly inside, with electric light flashing around it, and a beam of fire flying from below. A small hole was exposed in the light blue defensive cover, which quickly closed after the fire light entered.

"Ahem!"

The lines of fire dispersed on the deck, and Xu Yue, whose hair was a little burnt, coughed and walked out of the flames. The cumulonimbus clouds were now filled with electric charges and densely packed with tiny electric lights. It was inevitable that he would be electrocuted a few times when he flew back, but to this extent Apart from making him a little embarrassed, the electric light didn't cause much damage.

Now that the affairs of the Earth Dragon Kingdom are over, it’s time to leave this country. The next target is Xiaoji Island, where the former chief assassin of the Xuanwu Kingdom, ‘Qi’, was located.

"Set off."

The inscription engines on both sides of the ship's hull started, and the Sun Chaser quickly rose to the surface. Only after it broke away from the electric cumulonimbus clouds and revealed a brilliant sea of ​​stars on the sky, did the airship turn around and head towards the southern sea at full speed.

Not long after the Sun Chaser left, another spherical metal aircraft appeared in the clouds below. Inside the aircraft, the middle-aged Sturt man who had appeared in the Imperial Palace of the Earth Dragon Kingdom was sitting in the cockpit, looking at A red dot flashed on the screen in front of him, and he was playing with an earth-yellow potion in his hand, with a slight flush on his face.

"It's not easy for an assassin from the Xuanwu Kingdom to have such a spaceship and that kind of energy focusing technology."

"Oh, interesting, I want to see who you are."

After the first wave, I won't divide it into chapters.
