It doesn't matter what the lord is.

He said anxiously:
"How can you be like this! Wow... I am discussing the safety of your master and you have no reaction at all.
Liu Shi shook his head:
"I only worry about things within my ability. If you want to go against him, that's your business. I can't help him or you. I might as well go back and get two more pieces of equipment. The situation is not optimistic now. Although I can't do anything and don't particularly want to do anything, I still have to do the job I promised him."
The little slime let go of Flowstone's sleeve and scratched his head:
"The situation is not optimistic? Wasn't the situation very good when I was in seclusion?"
Liu Shi sighed and patiently told the little slime about the current situation, especially the zombies wantonly torturing the people.
Little Shrew's mother is a catty - will L, then haha
Laughing. Liu Shi was confused at first, but soon realized that the little slime was not a human being, so it would not regard human sorrow and joy as its own. It laughed because
Funny thing to think of for it:
"Wow... I'm asking you, are those corpses more delicious than me?"
Liushi nodded. In terms of the scale of the disaster, the zombie tide is undoubtedly the most serious disaster to human territory besides the invasion of the dragon tribe. Although the dragon tribe is strong, it will eventually suffer losses. The more it fights, the weaker it becomes, while the zombie tide is getting stronger and stronger. The little slime laughed, she lifted the golden hair behind her back, with a smile on her lips:
"You are wrong. If I had followed their way of eating, humans would have been extinct long ago. Hey, Lid hid it from me and didn't let me take action against humans, but in the end, didn't he get eaten by others? He would rather give his precious things to outsiders than to me. I will remember this grudge."
Liushi was silent for a while, then said to the little slime:
"In my opinion, he doesn't care who eats those people. Lid sometimes looks very righteous, but he is actually a very cold person. He only likes the human race and the concept. As for people who have nothing to do with him, he doesn't care. It would be best if he can save them, but it doesn't matter if he can't - as long as the human race can continue and as long as the people around him are safe, he can be indifferent. So I don't think he cherishes the lives of those people. He doesn't want you to change because of this."
The little slime raised his eyebrows and asked sideways:
"You don't want me to change?"
Liu Shi nodded:
"Once something is done, there is no going back." The little slime was silent for a long time.
Liushi was too lazy to continue talking to her, and continued to forge iron with his hammer. After a long time, the little slime seemed a little angry, kicked over the chair beside her, and didn't know what to say. She looked at the lord's mansion, recalled the time she lived here, and said to herself:
"He is just using me. He feeds me out of kindness, and it is also for the information I want."
The little slime walked out of the house, and when he walked into the sunlight, the clouds on his face had disappeared.
Her body trembled and twisted, and with a bang, she turned back into a spherical slime, and the maid uniform on the outside suddenly tore apart. The little slime bounced twice on the ground, making a "DUANG DUANG" sound, and moved outside. When it crossed the threshold, the guard outside stared at this person who had left the lord's mansion openly.
The monster that was about to leave, suddenly heard the voice of the little slime:
"Only I am qualified to eat everything he has. If someone tries to get their hands on my things, I will eat them first."
……
In Tiancheng Territory, Yunyang Army and the Monster Army were fighting fiercely. Juanbai found an opportunity and asked Alaiya to take an elite group to check the situation on Lid's side. When Alaiya arrived at the scene, he saw Lid holding a red-hot iron sheet and scraping off all the blackened flesh on his body without changing his expression.
Changye's huge body fell not far away, he was still breathing but motionless.
Seeing Alayya coming, Lid stood up happily, threw away the iron sheet in his hand, and said to Alayya: "It's still a bit uncomfortable for me to do it alone. Come, help me cut these poisonous flesh and blood."
Alayya opened her mouth, then quickly stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and swung it out.
The sword created a violent gust of wind, and the sword energy quickly cut off part of Lid's flesh. Lid spat out blood and swayed a bit. Alayya quickly stepped forward to catch it and skillfully applied medicine to him.
Lid closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and said to Alayya:
"Things here are almost settled. You and I won't be needed for the finishing work. Pack up and let's go to Xiqin."
16. A Dream
Changye had a very long dream.
In his dream, he achieved true immortality. The tide of corpses engulfed the entire Eternal Kingdom, and countless blood and souls were used to forge his invincible body.
This feeling made him linger, and as he became stronger, he found that he could control his flesh and blood more finely, so he walked to the lake, carefully molded himself into a peerless handsome man, and then became intoxicated by his own appearance.
In his dream, he could do anything. He could chop off Lid's head, and become the supreme god. But as time went by, Changye suddenly felt bored - he did achieve immortality, but there was no grass growing on this land. He commanded the zombies to build a luxurious palace.
But there was not a single maidservant alive.
Only the least decayed corpse can be used as a replacement.
So he extended his evil hands to other races around him, and only then did he find joy again. He kept fighting hard, and he didn't know how long it took before the tide of corpses swallowed up the entire world, leaving him immortal for countless years. Tens of years, hundreds of years, thousands and tens of thousands of years passed, and Changye finally began to panic. He felt like he was imprisoned in some kind of prison. He became the most powerful being in the world, but the price was that he was the only one in the world.
Just when he was about to go crazy in the dream, he saw his god.
His god was bathed in light, with a peaceful smile and a face that was unparalleled in the world. Changye knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly. Past memories came flooding back like a tide. In front of this woman, he seemed to have suddenly regained the ability to think normally. The woman stood quietly and suddenly said:
"How long do you plan to stay in this fantasy world?"
She paused, then suddenly laughed and said:
"Although it's too late for you to wake up now. But it doesn't matter. You did what you were supposed to do, and that's enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, Changye suddenly turned over and sat up. He looked around and realized that everything that happened before was just a dream. What was waiting for him was the dark muzzle of the Yunyang Army. When Changye's body began to tremble, all the guns and cannons were aimed at him. The moment he stood up, a round of artillery fire greeted him. Changye was blasted into pieces, and countless pieces of flesh and blood began to slowly gather towards the center.
At that moment Changye finally acknowledged the reality.
Lid did not want to turn him against the enemy. What Lid said to him was true. The woman did not regard him as one of her own. He was just a cannon fodder that kept the strongest army of mankind, the Yunyang Army, near Yunyang. What he was most proud of was the tide of corpses and immortality. The tide of corpses kept spreading.
Humans can only shrink their defenses to resist;
Changye, because he maintains his immortality, will be blasted into powder here again and again, and then slowly recovered from the powder.
This is all to buy time for that woman.
Chang Ye suddenly became angry when he remembered the cold eyes of the other three leaders when he went to the expedition. He knew that he had been deceived and tricked into coming to Yunyang, but it was too late. He didn't even have a chance to turn against his own side. The Yunyang army was well-trained and had laid a net when he was unconscious. As long as Chang Ye regained his human form, the Yunyang army would immediately fire several compressed magic cannons, making Chang Ye miserable.
In this game, both Lide and the woman won. Lide got rid of Changye's entanglement and rushed to Xiqin as quickly as possible to settle accounts with the woman. The woman also diverted most of Yunyang's power and stirred up a mess in the world.
Only Changye himself was stunned. He suddenly felt a little scared, recalling the pain of immortality in the illusion. If Yunyang's firepower continued, would he keep repeating this process of dying and resurrecting?
He wanted to shout out, to warn the Yunyang army that this was a trap. But he couldn't shout out, he could only wander on the border of life and death again and again, suffering eternal torture accompanied by pain and anger. In a trance, Changye suddenly felt that the strength in his body was slowly being drained. He paused for a moment, then realized that there was a problem with the corpse tide.
The corpse tide was destroying faster than he had imagined. If the corpse tide was like the waves sweeping across the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, then now it was as if a bigger wave was coming up from behind, swallowing up his corpse tide in an instant. Changye was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he had the urge to laugh, but it was a pity that he would never be able to laugh wildly again.
Compared to Yunyang, Lord Lingwu was really in a tough battle.
The beasts were not as unreasonable as the zombies, their numbers were limited, and they would not grow like a snowball. But they attacked Lingwu's army in an orderly manner, and Lingwu's lord did not gain much advantage even if he personally went into battle. This was also because in the previous battle, Yu Qingzhao gave Lingwu's stored compressed magic cannon to Lid, resulting in her having no sharp firearms to use, and she could only continue to display the brave characteristics of Lingwu's army.
The beasts fought in a very methodical way. Even the top generals among humans might not be able to achieve such an effect. They used various tactics, such as charging, covering, surprise attack, harassment, siege, and luring the enemy. It stands to reason that when an army of this size collides head-on, tactics will not play a big role. However, the characteristics of the beasts are different from those of humans. Although they form a military formation, they are also very capable in individual combat. A small team of several hundred beasts can often achieve unexpected results.
After fighting for two or three days, the war finally made substantial progress.
Yu Qingzhao carefully studied the beasts' fighting style and suddenly had a familiar feeling.
Before she sent troops south, Yu Qingzhao had carefully studied the habits of the generals of each territory in using troops. For example, Fang Shisan of Yunyang played a more stable style, while Bicas of the rebels played a more aggressive style. This was not entirely determined by their personalities, but also had something to do with the forces they relied on. Yunyang was stable, so Fang Shisan didn't need to take risks in battle, while the rebels were hungry and full, so Bicas had to keep attacking.
There are very few people in the world who can take into account both offense and defense, and even fewer who can carry out offense and defense to the extreme in the same war. However, as the first territory in the world, Xi Qin was full of talents, and its general Cheng Shi had this ability. Like Fang Shisan, Cheng Shi was born a genius in war, and commanding operations was a piece of cake for her. She could always come up with various ideas to interfere with the opponent's judgment to the greatest extent, and never played by the rules.
On the second day of the battle, Yu Qingzhao came into close combat with the talking lion leader in the herd. The blazing flames burned the lion leader's claws, and Yu Qingzhao took the opportunity to see what was in its mouth.
Its tongue is like a human hand. Looking further inside, one can see a completely unrecognizable human stuck in its throat. It speaks not because it can speak human language, but because the human-shaped thing in its throat is speaking. It's like a person being swallowed by a lion, desperately trying to crawl out, but to no avail, and can only merge with the lion.
"Take advantage of the time."
Yu Qingzhao called out the name softly.
The lump of flesh in the lion's throat let out a twisted scream.
17. I can send you down to talk to him
The lion slapped over, and Yu Qingzhao's flames turned into a shield to block it.
The male lion who spoke human language took a step back. Its eyes, which were no different from those of a human, looked at Yu Qingzhao and asked with a smile: "An acquaintance?"
Yu Qingzhao was too lazy to answer such questions.
She always did things her own way, and only spoke to confirm something. After confirming something, she refused to say a word, but her moves became more and more sharp, and each move was aimed at the lion's vital points. But the evolved lion has both the agility of a beast and the wisdom of a human. After a few magic spells offset Yu Qingzhao's flames, it spoke again.
Asked:
"Aren't you curious about how we were born?"
Yu Qingzhao still didn't answer, so the lion sighed and said to Yu Qingzhao:
"Why do we have to fight to the death like we are now? Changye is doomed to fail. Even if I win, I'm afraid I'll be skinned alive. Maybe we can change our thinking and have less fighting."
Yu Qingzhao looked at the lion. On a battlefield with hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting against hundreds of thousands, neither side could order their soldiers to cease fire.
So they let their subordinates continue to do it.
Yu Qingzhao looked at the lion in front of him and finally stopped being silent. He asked briefly:
"What do you want?"
The lion smiled and said:
"I don't have a name, you can call me 44. Because there are 9 big seals on my face. I can't help but think that what I swallowed was poison." His seven orifices didn't let the blood soul dissipate, and then threw it into the dense forest. At that time, we were all beasts. When we smelled blood, we wanted to eat people, but we didn't expect that what we swallowed was poison. "
Yu Qingzhao was secretly on guard against his surroundings while looking at 44 as a superior, waiting for her next story.
44 continued:
"After we ate the human, the blood soul in her body began to spread. But it was blocked by our bodies and could not disperse, so it tried to merge with the blood soul in our bodies. The process was very painful, as if someone was chiseling our internal organs with a chisel, trying to carve a stubborn beast into the appearance of a human. This process was also full of dangers. All the beasts in front of me exploded and died."
Yu Qingzhao neither doubted what 44 said nor believed what 44 said.
She just listened and recorded it in her mind. This was a habit she had developed over the years. 44 licked her paw and continued:
"I don't know if it's because my willpower is stronger or my luck is better. I was only qualified to swallow that body, and then a large amount of blood souls transformed my body. So many lives in the whole West Qin and South Chu were divided up by us oligarchs. You can imagine our strength. But now
Even so, I still don't have the qualifications to stay by her side. Maybe in her eyes, I am just a half-finished product like Changye. "
Noticing that Yu Qingzhao was standing still, some of the beasts began to attack her spontaneously, but each time they were burned to ashes by her flames before they could get close. Yu Qingzhao said calmly:
"You won't resist?"
44 laughed. Everyone could sense that she was different when they met her, but few could figure out the key. 44 looked like a lion, but the sound she made was more like that of a human female. This difference in appearance and voice was the main reason for the feeling of strangeness.
Especially when it laughs, the sound is shrill and creepy:
"Miss, you don't know how powerful God is, so you have such doubts. Beasts only obey the strong, this is our nature. For you, there are many kinds of death, and you can choose to die bravely, but for us, death is a deep-rooted fear. You can think about how to die, but we can only think about how to live."
44 stretched out his front paw, pointed at Yu Qingzhao, and then pointed at himself:
"Now I have so many troops, and my strength is comparable to yours. But I still insist that fighting with you is nothing but a fight to the death, and disobeying her will is an abyss of no return. You are the best among humans, just like Lid; I am a special being that has evolved with the grace of heaven and earth, and I am also extraordinary. But compared to her, we are just like
A baby is born."
Yu Qingzhao showed a trace of smile under her veil, but her eyes were not smiling. She still asked: "Are you trying to persuade me?"
44 replied:
"This is not my will, but an oracle. Before I set out, I received an oracle that I could either kill you or persuade you to join. Considering that if I kill you, I might also have to sacrifice my life, so I prefer the latter."
The soldiers of Lingwu launched a charge and the front line began to move behind 44. Someone noticed that Lord Lingwu was talking to the lion and wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by Lord Lingwu.
She stood there and said proudly: "What are the benefits?"
44 took a step forward and said something that no one present could understand except her and the Lingwu Lord: "What the old gods can promise you, we can also promise you."
Yu Qingzhao didn't smile this time. She looked into 44's eyes and asked, "Do you think I'm a member of the Old God?"
44 did not actively answer this question, but said indirectly:
"The lady's knowledge, the magic she used, the various mysteries surrounding her, and the flames that are now floating around you, are not known to the mortals, but there are always people who recognize them. Especially that flame, which was originally stolen from the old gods by mortals, and was later taken back by the old gods, and now appears in your hands again... The meaning is self-evident. "
Yu Qingzhao raised her hand, and the next moment the flame turned into a thin sword in her hand.
A smile finally appeared on Yu Qingzhao's face, and she said to 44:
"Then do you know what the old god who taught me this is doing now?"
44 shook his head and said calmly:
"He is no longer in this world. If you want to negotiate terms, I will send you down to talk to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, the flames slashed down on his head. 44 summoned many heavy magic arrays to block it, but this time the flames cut all the way down like a knife cutting tofu. 44 dodged it with a face covered in dirt, and a pair of human eyes watched Yu Qingzhao's every move. Yu Qingzhao said it lightly, but it was meaningful to 44. Of course, he had no time to think about it, and he had to face the murderous intent and pressure emanating from Yu Qingzhao.
Yu Qingzhao's clothes fluttered in the wind, her black hair spread out, and her deep eyes were like the dark night. She said:
"There is only one sentence in that nonsense that makes some sense. Only humans consider how to die. It is the privilege of humans to choose the right way to die for themselves." Yu Qingzhao raised her hand, and the long sword transformed from fire pointed at the lion's head. She said calmly:
"But you are not worth my consideration."
