The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 258: Capturing Two Monsters (Please give me a vote)

Outside Shanghe Village.

A team of cavalry was marching quickly. There were more than a hundred of them, all wearing a special kind of rattan armor painted bright red, and a cloak on their backs that was also bright red like blood.

They galloped on their horses, their cloaks fluttering like spreading flames, giving people the illusion of "aggression like fire", which was really arrogant!
Their weapons are also unique. They are not made of iron, but are made of various animal bones. Some are fully serrated, some are carved with bone petals, some are full of barbs, and some are as white as jade with a cold edge.

Of course, the leader was an exception. He used a spear with the tip of the spear made of black iron and the spear body made of a different kind of wood. It was engraved with golden dragon patterns that were swirling and entangled, and it was obvious at first glance that it was extraordinary.

The man was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, handsome, with a hint of coldness between his brows and murderous intent in his eyes.

Seeing Shanghe Village right in front of him, he seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately pulled his horse off and slowly slowed down.

Behind him, a group of well-trained knights pulled the reins and slowed down.

After carefully looking around, he immediately said, "Send a few people to Shanghe Village to investigate first!"

"Yes!"

Four or five riders immediately rushed out at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, they entered the gate of Shanghe Village and disappeared.

But after a stick of incense had passed, those people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

At this point, the handsome and brave general in the lead knew something was wrong and shouted, "The rear team becomes the front team, we retreat first!"

Almost as soon as his order was given, the knights behind him pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads, prepared to speed up and leave quickly.

But at this time, the half-demons hiding in the dark couldn't help it anymore.

"Guys, take them down. If you let one of them get away, I'll kill you!!!"

The rough voice echoed between heaven and earth, and then countless half-demons rushed out from all directions, from the hillsides, trees, and even from the grass.

Woohoooooooooooooooo…

kill!

Kill kill kill!

They let out crazy howls and rushed forward with all kinds of weapons in hand. The ones leading the way were all tall and strong bull-shaped half-demons, and following behind were monkey-shaped half-demons that were extremely agile and jumped up and down.

This time, they did not transform after being beaten, but they all turned into a violent state, with turbid aura and as powerful as mad tigers.

And in Shanghe Village, countless half-demons swarmed out.

Obviously, these half-demons originally wanted to use Shanghe Village as an ambush point, but they didn't expect that the human general was too cautious and was about to retreat at the first sign of trouble.

They just rushed out and killed the general without any regard!
"All the soldiers..."

At some point, the handsome and brave general had already arrived at the rear of the knights. He shook the spear in his hand, dismounted from his horse, and stood up.

"All soldiers, follow me and charge out!"

As he finished speaking, he rushed out first, his cloak fluttering behind him, like a burning flame.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Behind him, a group of knights rushed out without stopping.

The two sides approached each other quickly, and collided with each other in just a few breaths.

The brave cavalry general was seen riding his horse like a dragon, with the spear in his hand rolling up a thousand layers of blood waves. Wherever he passed, a group of half-demons fell off their horses. The faster they rushed, the faster they died.

In other words, half-demons have no fear and are not afraid of death. Instead, they are stimulated by blood and become even more crazy.

However, those cavalrymen were not weak either. They used the momentum of their horses and attacked frantically with the strange weapons in their hands, and were about to break out of the encirclement.

After all, they are cavalry. If they really get out of the encirclement, it will not be easy to kill them all.

At this moment, a long "Woo-ah" was heard, and a monkey demon about ten feet tall, with long arms and legs and a red hair all over its body, fell from the sky.

The weapon in his hand was also a long-handled broadsword. The blade was red and seemed to have a high temperature that could distort the air.

He grinned widely, full of bloodthirstiness, and chopped down with his sword, which turned into a red strip, and was about to kill the handsome and brave general who was leading the team off his horse.

You don't need to doubt his killing power. Wherever the knife flashes, the air seems to be cut in half.

However, the handsome and brave general was not afraid at all. He let out a long roar, and the spear in his hand shook suddenly. Amidst the buzzing sound, the tip of the spear shot out thousands of cold stars, which suddenly exploded above the long sword!

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Dang Dang Dang Dang!
For a moment, the sounds of metal clashing were so dense that they sounded like rain hitting banana leaves and were difficult to distinguish.

The monkey demon was powerful and strong. His sword flashed everywhere. Red streaks rose and fell, covering an area of ​​several feet in radius.

But that brave general was obviously more powerful. His spear shot out like a dragon, bringing out numerous phantoms, killing the monkey demon so hard that it screamed in fear and had to retreat to avoid it.

However, his appearance also blocked the general's charge, and without him as the spearhead, the other knights would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

The half-demons have already gathered around, and as time goes by, there are more and more of them.

And those knights were experienced in battle. After a long whistle, they turned around and more than a hundred cavalrymen began to circle around.

They drove their war horses to rotate counterclockwise within a certain range, and slashed wildly outward with the weapons in their hands, forming a crazy strangling wheel of swords.

They sometimes protrude forward, sometimes retreat, sometimes shrink, and sometimes expand. During this process, the injured will go inside to rest, and those in good condition will push up.

There is no doubt that this is a tactic that can only be used by those who are well-trained and have a certain level of coordination.

With a force of less than a hundred people, they managed to withstand the charge of half-demons that were several times their number.

At this point, this seemingly small battlefield has really become a meat grinder. It's a competition of who is stronger, who is more resilient, and who can hold on to the end.

But after just a short while of fighting, the ground was already covered with corpses.

There were half-demons, knights, and horses, with broken limbs and arms, and rivers of blood.

However, at the gate of the camp in Shanghe Village, there was a bull demon standing proudly.

He was half cow-like, with obvious cow hooves on his feet, but his body was that of a human. He had only four fingers on each hand, and the backs of his hands were covered with black hair.

His weapon was still a big axe. The axe blade alone was as big as half a millstone, which looked extremely terrifying.

There is no doubt that this is a fierce bull demon, but his eyes are rare to be clear, cold, and extremely rational.

He stood there, his eyes shifted away from the battlefield where the half-demons and cavalry were fighting, and looked towards another battlefield.

When his eyes passed over the monkey demon, there was obvious contempt and disgust in them, but when they fell on the handsome and brave general, he showed some interest.

This brave general was considered a strong man among the human race. He really wanted to know, if he was fed with demon blood and transformed into a half-demon, what kind of killing power would he have?
It is possible that with the help of this human race, his cultivation could be further improved.

What? What do you think would happen if this brave general ran away?
As long as he stands here, he is sure to win!
……

The edge of the forest of thousands of trees.

Chu Zhou and the old scholar looked around, trying to find the way. Occasionally, their eyes met, and they both couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xiaoji, who was supposed to lead the way, was now lying on Chu Zhou's shoulder, sleeping soundly.

For a little girl like her, who was only eight or nine years old, dodging the pursuit of the half-demon had consumed too much energy.

After killing those half-demons, the tension in his body loosened and he could no longer hold on.

Fortunately, he just consumed too much energy and fell into a coma, but he is fine.

Chu Zhou had no choice but to carry her on his back and walk out with the old scholar, following the trail that the half-demons had taken, groping their way back.

It was because these half-demons made too much noise that the road was easy to find, but the direction was winding, so it took some more walking.

"What are you going to do with this little guy?" The old scholar suddenly asked:
Chu Zhou was stunned when he heard that, and couldn't help but turn his head to look slightly. During the escape, Xiaoji's face was stained with a lot of dust, which mixed with tears, making it look a mess.

But even in her sleep, she held Chu Zhou's sleeve tightly, as if she was afraid that she would be thrown away.

From time to time, she would frown and tremble, as if she was having a nightmare and couldn't extricate herself.

Chu Zhou had no choice but to hold her with one hand and pat her back with the other, coaxing her to sleep.

Chu Zhou was not a heartless person. Seeing Xiao Ji like this, he felt pity for him.

"She has endured pain that she shouldn't have to endure at her age. If she really can't find her relatives, I will ask her if she is willing to go back to Xuanzhen Palace with me!"

"You are actually willing to take her back to Xuanzhen Palace?" "What's the problem?"

The old scholar had a strange expression on his face and asked, "Master Chu, are you sympathizing with her?"

“Isn’t her experience worthy of sympathy?”

Chu Zhou then turned his head and looked at the old scholar for a few more times. He seemed to understand something and said, "You guys have only lived a few more years, but you actually look down on ordinary people?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but that there's no need to look at you!"

The old scholar said quietly, "Look at the insects, they are born in spring and die in autumn, never seeing winter. Look at the fallen leaves, they grow in spring and fall in winter, rustling down, year after year, the cycle never ends.

Mortals only live for a few short decades, and as one generation after another comes along, the old will die and the new will be born.

This is the law of nature and the truth of life, so why should we take it so seriously? ? ! "

"Understood!"

After a long pause, Chu Zhou finally nodded. Only then did he roughly understand the thoughts of these land immortals.

To put it bluntly, after living for a long time and getting used to being superior, you tend to disregard the lives of others.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "If that's the case, I shouldn't have saved you."

"why?"

"Look, I am a Jindan master, and I can live for 800 years in peace and stability, but you can only live for 200 to 300 years.

To me, you are like a summer insect that never sees winter, born in spring and dies in autumn, so why should I care about you? "

"This, this, this?"

The old scholar found it hard to accept, but he didn't know how to refute it. Chu Zhou shook his head and said, "Practice and cultivate your mind, but don't really turn yourself into a stone. The supreme forgetfulness is a state of mind, but it doesn't mean you lose your humanity!"

At this point, Chu Zhou didn't want to discuss this topic with the old scholar anymore. His nose twitched slightly, as if he smelled something.

The old scholar wanted to argue, but Chu Zhou waved his hand and said, "Be quiet, there's something going on!"

The old scholar was alert in an instant. Chu Zhou was already listening with his ears attentively. His blood was surging, and even the slightest sound was heard by him. He looked into the distance.

"We should have reached Shanghe Village. There was a battle going on. There were quite a few people, even more half-demons. Many of them had died."

"This way!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already dodged out, and the old scholar also took a deep breath to catch up, but was only half a step behind.

They were extremely fast, but when they arrived at the battlefield, the enemy had already reached the end.

There were only more than ten people left in the rattan armor cavalry, and they were all injured. Their horses were all dead. They could only huddle together and brandish their weapons hard, trying to resist every attack and kill every enemy they could.

Many of those half-demons died, but the remaining hundred or so were able to chop these dozen people into meat paste.

As for the handsome and brave general, he was besieged by the bull demon and the monkey demon one after another, and the only thing he could do was defend.

It was because the bull demon seemed to have captured this brave general intact that he refrained from using any ruthless force, otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago.

At this time, the brave general had become a little crazy. He tried to exchange his life for another's and kill a monster to avoid loss.

But the monkey monster was too agile and he couldn't catch it; the bull monster was even stronger and he couldn't defeat it, so he was left with only helpless rage.

on the hill.

"Is that a demon?"

"That should be a demon. It is definitely different from a spirit beast!"

"If we capture these two, can we get more useful information?"

"I think the general who wields a gun should also know something we want to know."

"In that case, I'll go, you take care of Xiaoji."

Chu Zhou handed Xiao Ji to the old scholar, and taught her with some concern: "If she dies, I will make you pay with your life."

The old scholar smiled bitterly and said, "Just because we disregard life doesn't mean we have to kill people."

"Stop, stop, stop. I don't want to hear your nonsense!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Zhou had disappeared from his original place, and when he reappeared, he was already among a group of half-demons.

The sound of the chains clattering was so clear and melodious that many half-demons who were blood-thirsty noticed that there was one more person and naturally rushed forward with their swords.

But what greeted him was a flash of a knife, and his body was pierced through.

Then, the chain straightened and pulled, carrying the long knife, leaving behind a trail of afterimages, blood spurting out, and heads flying.

At this time, the effect of the chain sword is reflected. The attack area is large enough, so naturally, it is fast enough to kill half-demons!
In just over ten breaths, most of the hundred or so half-demons had died, which frightened the remaining half-demons.

It was at this time that the bull demon reacted. The first thing he did was not to block or rush to help, but to pick up the axe and chop at the brave general.

Obviously, seeing that the humans had reinforcements, he wanted to kill them first.

But there was a 'clattering' sound, and a long sword came across the sky and actually entangled the axe.

However, the bull demon was overjoyed. He swung his axe, collected the chains, and wanted to pull Chu Zhou over directly.

Chu Zhou had to admit that the bull monster was so powerful that even he was a little surprised.

However, he chose to take advantage of the situation. He seemed to be pulling with all his strength and his muscles were tense, but his body was getting closer and closer.

The bull demon roared excitedly and moved faster and faster. In just a moment, the distance between the two sides was only two steps.

The bull demon shook his hands and dragged the chain to chop down on the head.

He used all his strength in this move, and it was obviously intended to cut the bull in half with one axe. However, when the axe really got close, a look of horror appeared on the bull monster's face.

Because the original Chu Zhou had turned into a height of several meters, his muscles were twisted like the roots of an old tree, his skin glowed like white jade, and he was indestructible.

Then, the axe was caught by a fleshy hand.

The Bull Demon knew how exaggerated his own strength was. On the Black Wind Mountain, except for the King, he rarely met an opponent.

So, he couldn't believe his eyes at all, but what greeted him was another hand clenching into a fist and smashing down!

Boom boom boom!

Chu Zhou vented his violence with punch after punch. The bull demon reacted quickly and at the last moment he dropped the axe, bent his body, protected his head with both hands, and resisted with all his might.

Chu Zhou had to admit that as a target, there was no one more suitable than the bull monster. Every punch he delivered hit the target real hard and it felt really good.

Of course, the bull demon was not happy about this. His eyes were red and growing wildly, and his muscles moved rhythmically as if they were alive, and he let out a roar.

Moo!
With a long roar, the bull demon stomped its limbs to the ground and charged forward madly. The horns on its head flashed coldly, as if it wanted to cut Chu Zhou in half.

Chu Zhou's response was also simple. The energy and blood in his body rose, and he showed a smoke signal and soared into the sky.

So, he gathered his strength and punched down. Smoke and dust filled the air and the bull demon fell completely to the ground, without any movement.

Then, a figure rushed out from the smoke and dust like a whirlwind, and the earth trembled with every step.

The rumbling sound echoed throughout the mountains and fields, and Chu Zhou had already caught up with the monkey demon who was trying to escape.

This time it was more straightforward, still a punch!
The monkey demon wanted to escape, but he was agile enough and jumped out with his legs.

But that one punch caused countless forces to spin wildly within a radius of several feet, forming a vortex with huge suction that bound him tightly.

All that was left was a fist that kept getting bigger in his eyes.

Bang!
With a loud noise, the monkey demon felt his head go dizzy and then passed out.

Chu Zhou grabbed the monkey demon's thigh and dragged him back, and what greeted him was Xiaoji's sparkling eyes.

"Brother Chu, you are so powerful, can you teach me?"

　It has been corrected, please feel free to read!
