On the Avenue.

Chapter 265 Breaking out of camp
It was a windy day and at night, so the Red Cannon was difficult to move, and the best strategy was to rest in place.

Chen Shi walked in the wind, which was like a roar of an ox, deafening. It was pitch black in the wind, and it was difficult to tell the direction. From time to time, huge rocks flew over, driven by the wind, and they were more than ten thousand pounds.
He walked forward leaning on the canopy. From time to time, a ray of light burst out from the canopy, shattering the boulders that were falling on him.

The small temple behind his head floated, illuminating the surroundings. His own energy and blood condensed into a wind-calming talisman above his head. Wherever he passed, the hurricane stopped and there was a place for him to stay.

The sky was dark, the moon was invisible, and he couldn't determine his position, but there was sunlight behind him, so he could determine his position based on the sun and moon of China. After all, when he turned, the sun and moon of China did not rotate with him.

There were some powerful evil spirits in the wind, which coveted Chen Shi very much. Every time they approached to eat him, he suddenly saw a blur in front of his eyes, and found himself in a small temple, sitting upright on the shrine.

When most of the evil spirit in the evil spirit's body is removed, it will be thrown into the wind, waiting for the next evil spirit to come.

The light emitted by the small temple behind Chen Shi's head could only illuminate an area three or four steps away. If he shone further forward, it was all pitch black.

The wind was so strong that it seemed as if the air had grown black hair, making the vision a little unstable.

Chen Shi walked for a long time and came to the ancient temple based on his memory. The ancient temple was originally destroyed by artillery fire. Now, even the bricks and stones were blown away by the hurricane, leaving only the foundation.

He determined his direction based on the foundation and walked into the thick darkness.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger.

Chen Shi's wind-fixing talisman was blown apart by the strong wind many times, making it difficult for him to walk, but he still walked against the wind.

He didn't know whether the people who were attacking him were from the Shenjiying Camp, nor did he know what the grudge was.

He only knew that there were more than 40 other candidates around him who were going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. These pillars of the country were attacked halfway!
No matter who the other party is or how powerful he is, he must pay the price!

When it was the second half of the night, the wind was still roaring and deafening. Chen Shi shook off the dust on his body and cast a dust-purifying talisman on himself.

At this time, there was a bright light coming from ten steps ahead. Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. He put away the small temple and hid the Dust-Cleansing Talisman and the Wind-Fixing Talisman behind him to avoid emitting light and alarming the people in front.

He moved slowly and approached quietly.

The bright light is the light emitted by the Nascent Soul.

The light emitted by the Nascent Soul is called divine light, and it has strong penetrating power.

The two Yuanyings floated in the air, spinning constantly.

The vision of the Nascent Soul is better than that of the physical body, and it can even see things like ghosts and gods. If an enemy approaches, they will be discovered from a long distance.

But it’s a windy day now, and Yuanying can’t see far.

Chen Shi stood in the wind, looking around the place with the light of his Nascent Soul.

I saw two men in black tight robes sitting next to a red cannon, with a banner next to them, more than one person tall. The banner was made of golden cloth with a wind-fixing talisman embroidered on it. It should be a talisman weapon used to fix the bad wind in this place.

Along the way, the wind-fixing talisman formed by Chen Shi's blood and energy was blown to pieces more than ten times, but the power of this wind-fixing flag was still there, obviously it had been refined for a long time.

Two men in black were sitting under the banner, making a charcoal fire and roasting steamed buns. They broke the buns in half, stuck them with branches, and roasted them over the fire until both sides were golden brown and crispy, with a sweet wheat aroma.

One of them was skinning a four-legged stone bird. The bird was very large, but most of it was stone and could not be eaten. The only thing that could be eaten was a piece of meat near the heart, but it tasted excellent.

The other person was a European with red hair and blue eyes. They were probably on guard duty, so they didn't sleep.

There was another car next to them, with no artillery on it and five big men sleeping in it.

They should all be responsible for this red cannon. The car next to it is used as a backup. If one car breaks down, there is another one.

It takes seven people to maintain a red cannon. One person is responsible for cleaning the barrel, one is responsible for loading the projectiles, one is responsible for calibration, one is a pharmacist who is responsible for injuries and gunpowder, one is a talisman master, one is a coachman, and one is a wind observer who determines the wind direction and the enemy's position.

At the same time, these seven people must be good at close combat and long-range attacks, and they can use spells and weapons to fight when the enemy comes to them.

The cannons often had to be separated, with the distance between two cannons being hundreds of feet, and they were rarely gathered together to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.

The artillery that was bombarding Chen Shi and others encountered a sudden strong wind and was unable to gather to set up camp, so they had to camp out in the wind for the night.

"You two animals, why don't you eat at night?"

A person lying on the car sat up and said unhappily, "How can I sleep when you guys bake the steamed buns so deliciously?"

The European laughed and said, "It's late at night. How can you keep watch without eating enough? If you are hungry, come down and eat something."

The man got out of the car and said with a smile, "Then eat something."

At this moment, the black-haired puppy crawling beside the car suddenly pricked up its ears, raised its head to look outside, and barked.

The three of them were shocked, and each of them activated the shrine, sacrificed their Nascent Souls, and prepared their spells.

The European even grabbed two projectiles, ready to throw them out at any time.

The four people in the car also woke up and sat up alertly.

They looked into the wind and saw a figure vaguely appearing in the wind, tall and thin.

The European heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Evil spirit. You scared me. In the middle of the night, I thought someone could come out of the wind and attack us. Don't worry, the evil spirit can't get in."

Everyone woke up, and one of them shouted, "Shut up, you dog! You're making so much noise that it keeps people awake!"

The thin dog lay under the car in grievance, not daring to bark again.

"Now that you're awake, why not come down and have something to eat!" the European suggested.

Three of them got off the car cursing, and one was so sleepy that he lay on the car floor and continued to sleep soundly.

"Shi Mao, do you want to eat?" someone asked the people in the car.

The man in the car muttered something and continued to sleep.

"This time we made such a big fuss and even changed our clothes. Who is the man we are going to deal with?" asked the European.

"Old Tang, please stop asking nonsense questions."

A middle-aged man took a bite of a baked steamed bun and said with a smile, "What we do is a beheading business. We ambush and kill scholars. Hehe, we mistakenly recognized the wrong person and killed more than a dozen people. If this matter gets out, the whole family will be executed!"

Lao Tang smiled and said, "I heard that they wanted to kill a scholar named Chen. Why did they mobilize so many of us to kill him? Even Lord Cao was mobilized. Lord Cao is a great master in the Refining Void Realm, and he is going to take over Jin Hongying's position..."

"Tang Mu, stop talking!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened, he put down his steamed bun and said, "In a business that can lead to death, the less you know, the safer you will be! We just do our job and don't ask why! Whoever the higher-ups tell us to kill, we'll kill!"

The European said yes, picked up a piece of roasted meat and put it into his mouth, praising it: "It tastes really good! Fresh!"

He was about to eat another piece when he suddenly saw the thin figure in the wind still there. He wondered, "Why hasn't this evil spirit left yet..."

Before he finished speaking, a tall and thin figure suddenly moved and appeared in front of them. A sword light was spinning in an area of ​​two meters in radius, like a pool of water flying rapidly, and suddenly stopped.

A drop of blood flew out from the rapier and splashed onto the European's face.

The Europeans were stunned and looked at the tall and thin figure. They saw that the man was neither thin nor tall. He was a teenager who was not as tall as them. However, he was leaning on a canopy umbrella that was much taller than him. He looked thin and tall, like an evil spirit in the wind.

He recognized this face; it was the scholar named Chen whom his superiors wanted them to get rid of!

"How dare he come here on such a windy night?" Just as he thought of this, figures fell down one by one beside the charcoal fire.

The Europeans looked at them and saw that their companions had been pierced through the chest by a sharp sword, their hearts had ruptured, and they had already died.

He looked towards the car hurriedly, and saw Shi Mao, who was sleeping in the car, was pierced through the body by a sharp sword!

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He looked down and saw a sword mark on his chest.

"I'll fight you!"

He urged his Nascent Soul to pounce at the young man, and at the same time, he grabbed two bullets the size of human heads with both hands and was about to smash them together.

Before his Nascent Soul could get close to the boy, it was shattered by a bolt of lightning shot out from the Luo umbrella.

Europa was desperate, his face was horrible, and he shouted, "Mr. Chen, come with me on the road!"

The two projectiles were about to collide, but suddenly the projectiles were snatched away by the young man.

The European screamed and fell to the ground.

Chen Shi picked up the other projectiles scattered on the ground, placed them in his small temple, and ordered: "Niangniang Shiji, please watch over Tianji and don't let him explode these projectiles."

Niangniang Shiji responded and looked towards another shrine.

On the shrine, the talisman god Tianji was acting crazy, talking to himself with his back to her.

"The big-headed evil spirit is so strong, I can't beat her... I hit her when she was sleeping, strangled her neck, and twisted her head off... I can't do it!"

Niangniang Shiji was alert. This madman had been acting stupid and dazed ever since he entered the small temple. However, he had gotten much better in the last few days and could stay awake for an hour a day.

Some time ago, I was lucid for about a stick of incense a day, but after a few words, I became crazy again.

Chen Shi sent all the bullets into the small temple, bent down, glanced at the thin black dog lying under the car, and smiled.

The black dog let out a low bark and shrank under the car with its tail tucked up.

"For the sake of your relatives, I will spare your life."

Chen Shi smiled slightly, walked into the strong wind, followed the light, and walked towards another camp in the wind.

He must take advantage of the night and strong winds to clear out the other camps one by one, leaving no hidden dangers!

"Master Cao? Refining Void Realm?"

He whispered, "Lord Sun Yisheng was seriously injured after dealing with one bullet. I wonder how many bullets Lord Cao can deal with?"

Cao Chuting was the left patrol commander of the Shenji Camp, and had three to four hundred men under his command.

He was a very hard-working person, born in a small family in Yinzhou. It was already remarkable that he could cultivate to the Refining Void Realm, but in Xijing, there were many such people.

If a person at the Lianxu realm was placed in the Thirteenth Family, he could definitely go to the local area and become a high-ranking official to guard a region, but in Xijing, he could only be a small commander of the Shenjiying.

The Shenji Camp is a camp that obeys the orders of the True King. It is in charge of the most powerful firearms in the world. It can kill gods and punish all disobedients!
However, since the end of the era of the True King, there has been no True King for more than 6,000 years. The imperial power has long since declined, and the cabinet is in power and rules the world.

The Shenjiying had fallen into decline and did not have much power, so it could not abuse its power.

But he just couldn't climb up!

He wasn't even given a place as a military officer!
However, this time, he heard word that Jin Hongying, the military officer of the Shenji Camp, was incompetent and Xiao Wangsun had repeatedly escaped. The higher-ups were planning to investigate her, so a military officer's position would be vacant.

The man who asked him to take action was from a wealthy family, and told him that as long as he did a good job, when Jin Hongying came down, it would be his time to climb to the position of military officer!

However, there is still a problem in getting rid of Chen Shi, that is, there is a great master Sun Yisheng who is protecting Chen Shi.

Although he was quite wary of Sun Yisheng, he also knew that this was a rare opportunity and he must seize it!
Like him, Sun Yisheng was also a talented person who was not appreciated. He worked as an ambassador in Guanghuiku, a ninth-rank official, but his cultivation was incredibly high, and he was also in the Lianxu realm.

In a head-on collision, one-on-one, he might not be Sun Yisheng's opponent.

But when the Shenjiying killed people, they never engaged in direct confrontation, they just fired their cannons.

If it doesn't kill, increase the dosage.

"Lord Sun has been badly wounded. He will be killed after daybreak. It's a pity for the dozens of candidates who are taking the exam."

Cao Chuting sighed, stood up and walked out of the tent.

After all, he was a general and had some power, so he was equipped with personal soldiers and set up a tent.

There are talismans hanging outside the tent, such as wind-calming talismans, fire-avoiding talismans, water-avoiding talismans, and lightning-avoiding talismans.

There were six vehicles parked outside, as well as three large cannons, with talismans also stuck on them.

There were more than forty people around him, and there were soldiers patrolling outside the tent at night and keeping watch. There were not many people, only three teams of two people in each team. It would be difficult to launch a surprise attack on him.

In front of the big tent, there are two Yellow Turban Warriors transformed by the Yellow Turban Warrior Talisman, one on the left and one on the right, guarding strictly.

Cao Chuting was very satisfied. He looked outside and saw that the wind was still strong. He was afraid that nothing would happen tonight. Everything would have to wait until the wind stopped.

"Call me when the wind stops!"

He gave an order and went back to the tent to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, a soldier suddenly woke him up: "Sir, the wind has stopped!"

Cao Chuting woke up, dressed neatly, and walked out of the tent. He saw that it was still night outside, the sky was clear again, and the moon was hanging in the north of the sky.

The wind stopped, and the sky became unusually clear, as if all the dust had been blown away. If one's eyesight was good enough, one could even vaguely see the texture of the skin near the vertical eyes of the True God from Outer Space!
"Wake up the other soldiers and set out to search for the thieves!"

Cao Chuting gave the order and people immediately ran out.

At this moment, the soldier tripped over something and exclaimed in surprise: "Where did the bullets come from... So many bullets! Sir! Sir!"

He cried out in alarm, "There are artillery shells everywhere around our camp!"

Cao Chuting was shocked: "It's everywhere?"

At this moment, the sky lit up, and a bullet the size of a human head, dragging a streak of fire, came towards this side!
"Not good!" Cao Chuting widened his eyes, summoned his soul, activated the Taoist magic, and protected himself!
"boom!"

The projectiles blasted down, but instead of hitting his dojo, they struck other projectiles outside the camp!

"Bastard!"

Cao Chuting was horrified and didn't care about his body. His spirit soared into the sky!

By giving up his physical body and keeping his soul, he still has two chances to survive, one is to possess another's body, the other is to reincarnate!

As long as the soul can get out alive!

Countless projectiles exploded, lightning poured down, thunder and fire roared violently, expanding in all directions, swallowing up his soul!
In the distance, Chen Shi stood beside a red cannon, watching the scene from afar, shook his head, and said with some disappointment: "So, you can't do it either."
