Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 109 Escape (1)

"Come on!"

On the Xueling Mountain Road, Xue Yi led the troops of the Ju State, killed the ambushed barbarians and fled, and then continued to break through to the east.

But I have to admit that these barbarians are like wild dogs, with a very keen sense of smell, and they come over after a while, wave after wave, and their ghosts linger.

"I don't know how many people they have ambushed in Xueling, and I don't know how long General Lian can hold off the enemy's main force. If this drags on, we won't be able to leave!" Captain Xue Xin said to Xue Yi.

Xue Yi nodded in agreement. He knew in his heart that their most important task now was to send a message to General Sun Liang of Chengguo. As long as there was one person who could convey General Lian's instructions before the battle started, their breakout would be considered a success.

So Xue Yi rode his horse and approached Le Zhong, saying: "Elder, the chivalry has suffered a heavy loss, and there is no repayment. This general will intercept the thief here, please find Sun Liang!"

After saying that, Xue Yi arranged for Chen Wufu and Du Ruhu to take Bai Chengshuang away and act together with Le Zhong.

"You can go too." Xue Yichong said to the captain Xue Dao.

"The Xue family didn't say that the younger brother left on the battlefield, but the elder brother ran away first." Xue Xin replied.

Gu Feng listened to Chen Wufu's instructions and followed Le Zhong. At this moment, the person on his back made a voice: "Okay, put me down."

"Can you stand?"

"You can run, the side effect of the spell is over." Ye Ziqi gritted his teeth: "At this time, how can you be a useless person who drags people down!"

So Ye Ziqi stood on the ground again, this place was below the snow line, the soil under his feet was mixed with freshly fallen snow, the sky was blank, as if covering their future in thick fog.

There were less than 300 people, half of which were left by Xue Yi to guard the crossing.Among the remaining more than 100 people, except for a few leaders who rode horses, most of them could only flee on foot.

In the distance, there were a lot of barbarian horses. Those trained Qianzhou thoroughbreds jumped vigorously and ferociously in the mountains, and chased them from afar.Before long, he fought with Xue Yi.

Ye Ziqi thought to himself: Judging from what happened on the road, it seems that the barbarians are guarding multiple crossings in the snow ridge in units of hundreds of people. Now they are coming from all directions one after another. Even if Xue Yi blocks a road, it may not be able to ensure safety.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Le Zhong ordered the team to leave the mountain road, and all went into the forest and took a small path to hide their whereabouts.

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng just went into the woods according to the order, when they heard the wind behind them, it turned out that it was a sorceress who played the eight-hole jade screen flute, manipulated the instrument, and the strong wind kicked up the sand on the ground, obliterating their footprints.

"It's safe that way."

"Ah."

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng comforted each other, and when they walked into the path in the forest, there would always be people around them who fell down suddenly and were helped up again.Blood stained dead roots and moss-stained stones, perhaps the most indelible trace.

The forest is densely covered with trees, even if the hawks raised by the horse thieves are circling in the sky, it is not easy to spot them.

Occasionally, when someone bumps into a tree, the snow will rustle down and mix with their rustling footsteps. These slight sounds will bring out the tranquility in the mountains, which will make people feel fearful. The occasional birdsong It all becomes palpitations, and it will involve grief.

Ye Ziqi never forgot all his life, this is the sound of defeat, this is the feeling of fleeing.

"Goo-goo-"

The irritated bird calls gradually increased above the head, making Ye Ziqi wonder if they broke into the habitat of the birds, or someone stole the eggs.

"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck!"

The flock of birds sang more and more urgently, and then it seemed to be dark all of a sudden, making it difficult to see the road clearly.So a warlock summoned a lantern-shaped magic weapon and went up to the top of the tree to check the situation, and the forest fell silent for a moment——

"Cuckoo cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck!"

Countless birds chirped together, forming a frenzy of sound!
Ye Ziqi looked up at this moment, and saw the truth illuminated by the lantern——

Countless birds covered the sky, hovering above their heads, blocking the light of the sky like a black curtain, and their cries were filled in all directions, like the mocking of demons.

Some birds even spread their wings and flew down, digging at people's faces with their claws.At first one bird's attack was nothing, but then more and more birds grabbed their hard claws and beaks, like iron arrows.

Ye Ziqi was terrified, but he felt familiar with the scene in front of him.

By the way, he has seen this scene before!
"This is a barbarian bird!" Ye Ziqi turned his head and yelled at Le Zhong: "This is how they control the flock of birds to disturb Tianshui!"

Hearing this, Le Zhong reined in his horse immediately: "Is that so..." Then the old man held up the fairy sword to bury him, and silently recited the incantation.

Barrier Art · Draw the sky as a prison.

Several yellow runes appeared in the four directions of the sky, flashing and echoing each other, forming a cage-like enchantment. The approaching bird seemed to be stuck by the wall and could not break free.

"Okay, these long-haired beasts don't want to follow us." Du Ruhu, the commander, said: "Elder, let's go quickly, so that the barbarians who come after the bird's butt will be caught in the air."

"No." To everyone's surprise, Le Zhong refused: "You take your people with you. The old man is here to find out the barbarians who control these beasts!"

After Le Zhong finished speaking, he stuck Gong Zangjian on the ground and cast spells to find traces of mana.

Du Ruhu was taken aback at first, but immediately realized that what Le Zhong was looking for was the beast spirit.

The fact that the barbarians were able to find them out of the cave in Xueling meant that the beast spirit that Lian Hongye warned everyone to beware of must exist.He is probably the one who controls the flock of birds at this moment.

There is such a person who can understand the language of beasts and can drive wild beasts, they can't get rid of the pursuit no matter what.Therefore, if Le Zhong wanted to stay here, even if he risked being besieged, he still had to find out the beast spirit.

So all the chivalrous people stayed, and Du Ruhu led the second guard to continue eastward, leaving only five or sixty people.

When the soldiers left, the ground behind them rose from the ground, and a stone pillar stood tall in the snowy forest. The old man Yuan Tingyuezhi standing on it was almost surrounded by birds.By changing the terrain, the old man maximized the efficiency and scope of the search, but also exposed himself to the eyes of all enemies.

"Anyway...it's safe this way."

"Ah."

Ye Ziqi and Gu Feng encouraged each other again.Thinking positively, no matter who the beast spirit is, it shouldn't be able to escape Le Zhong's grasp.Without the beast spirits, the barbarians lost their eyes and ears, and they would definitely not be able to find their traces in the vast and complicated snowy mountains.

After walking five miles in the woods, Du Ruhu guessed that the barbarians would not deploy their ambush so far away.Then he led the team on the main road again, speeding up the march.

Commander Du Ruhu and Chen Wufu rode side by side at the front of the team.Ye Ziqi looked at their backs and thought to himself: The generals are rushing east instead of fleeing south to Hanye. It seems that they have secret military affairs and must go to a certain place to complete them.

Could it be that after this defeat, does the Ju country have other backs?
Thinking of this, Ye Ziqi cheered up. He really didn't want to be a subjugated slave. As long as the country of Ju still had hope of surviving...then no matter what, let these two leaders survive. fate also -

"startle--!"

A beast's roar suddenly resounded through the forest, making everyone stunned, and then a huge black wall crossed in front of everyone's eyes!

Ye Ziqi's eyes flickered dizzily, and he could vaguely see that the place where the two chiefs were standing was replaced by the flowing "black wall", and there were people who were pressed under the "black wall". The severed limbs and blood of horses.

"what--!"
