Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Jiang Xue whispered to herself.

Only then did Lemon notice that Jiang Xue's expression was somewhat solemn. Even when she looked at the various cracks and damages on the city wall, a hint of sadness and regret flashed in her eyes.

what?

She has this setting.

Lemon had always believed that Jiang Xue was an NPC created by the planner using a combination of girlish words like "scheming", "tsundere", and "energetic".

I even feel that her personality is somewhat similar to that of [Rou Zongzi is more delicious].

They are all naive, curious and like to make trouble.

But when he saw now...

He only vaguely realized that she would also experience emotional fluctuations due to the death of other NPCs, and even seemed to evoke some past memories.

Jiang Xue seems to be a living person in this world.

As a traveler who has been traveling around, perhaps at this moment, she is the real her without the "shell".

"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell them something just now, so I was delayed for a while."

After Song Zheng finished giving instructions, he immediately walked back.

At this moment, the slight sadness on Jiang Xue's face disappeared instantly, replaced by her signature smile and that lazy tone that sounded 'heartless'.

"Then let's go. We've been running for so long and I'm a little tired now."

As she spoke, she also stretched.

"Okay, then please follow me."

Song Zheng immediately walked towards the stairs beside the city wall, and Jiang Xue followed him immediately.

Lemon fell behind. He looked at Jiang Xue, whose steps seemed lighter and who looked quite happy, and blinked silently.

Is it so fast to put on the 'shell'?

The reception room was not far from the city wall. After walking for less than ten minutes, Lemon saw a slightly more exquisite building.

It is located roughly in the middle of the fortress, and its overall size is about the same as a three-story detached villa on Blue Star.

However, looking at the soldiers coming in and out with documents in their hands, he simply guessed that this was probably where Song Zhen and his team did their work.

Is it a simple command center?

Song Zheng did not introduce them, but took them directly to a meeting room on the top floor.

The decoration here is also very simple. The only decorations in the house are a coffee table, a few chairs, and a few pots of green plants in the corner of the room. However, the view is very good. Looking out the window, you can see all the buildings in front of you.

You can even see some soldiers busy on the city wall in the distance.

"I'll get you a pitcher of water."

Seeing Ningmeng and Jiang Xue sitting down, Song Zheng ran out in a hurry again.

There is a shortage of manpower in the fortress at the moment, and the handyman who was originally responsible for serving tea and water has probably been sent out to help.

"Sister Jiang Xue, what happened to that late-stage demon you knocked away? Did it just run away?"

After taking a quick look around the room, Lemon turned her gaze back to Jiang Xue.

He was still very concerned about the whereabouts of that high-level demon.

After all, if it was beaten to the point of death by Jiang Xue, wouldn’t that be an opportunity for him to take its life!

Even if the experience of a high-level late-stage demon is only 10%, it is enough for him to directly upgrade to level three or four.

"Forehead……"

When Jiang Xue heard Lemon's name, she was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Xue…Sister?

It seemed like this was the first time someone called her that.

Sounds good though?

A silent smile appeared on her face before her mind began to process the question Lemon asked.

"Oh, you're asking about the fluttering moth."

Jiang Xue touched her chin with her thumb, then raised her head slightly to think for a moment.

"It's almost dead. I stabbed it in the right ribs, and it has no way to dissipate the continuous burning of the fire attribute."

"But wind-attributed creatures are indeed very fast at escaping, and they can fly. If they can make it all the way back to their main force outside Mujing Fort, perhaps some demons can help them survive a little."

As Lemon listened to Jiang Xue's description, her eyes widened.

Really a big disability? !

The kind that kills with one shot?!

A high-level late-stage demon?

Chen Lu spent 15000 Alliance Coins to buy it, and now he can get it for free?!

"Then do you think I could beat it if I met it in the wild?" Lemon immediately asked.

"Or maybe use that sniper rifle from your Quanjitang and kill it with one shot?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Xue blinked.

Then a sly smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"I suddenly realized that everyone in your gathering place seems to be very interested in killing demons. Is there any special reason for this?"

"what……"

When Lemon heard this, he was stunned on the spot.

special reason?

Isn’t it normal to think about killing monsters while playing games?

What could be the reason for this...

But before he could think about how to answer, Song Zheng trotted in with a large kettle and three small cups.

"The water is coming, the water is coming."

He immediately put the things on the table, filled three cups with water, and placed two of them in front of Lemon and Jiang Xue.

"Thank you."

Jiang Xue smiled and nodded, but she didn't drink the water directly after picking up the cup. Instead, she watched Lemon drink up the water in her cup before taking a sip.

Another strange point.

She remembered that Lemon and the others didn't know the people from Mujing Castle before.

We've only known each other for a few hours, and you're already completely off guard?

Or……

Does he have no habit of guarding against backstabs?

So how did he survive until now?

Have you never met a bad person or seen any bad things in your life?

"By the way, do you Quanjitang have any plans to deal with the group of demons in front of Mujing Fort?"

Lemon didn't notice Jiang Xue's gaze. He handed the cup back to Song Zheng, turned to look at Jiang Xue and asked.

"Judging from the battlefields on the west and southwest sides, there are definitely quite a few high-level demons over there, and there may even be several high-level late-stage demons."

Currently, players have no means to deal with high-level late-stage monsters.

Even if Oxygen has reached level 22, when converted into normal cultivation level, it is actually only the early stage of the Xuan level.

With all the bonuses, she could only compete with mid-level high-level monsters at best. As for late-level high-level monsters...

If she had the Mirage Tank's large shield, she could probably withstand a few more hits before dying.

But if you have to count it, the four energy cannons fired together are a bit of a threat to high-level late-stage monsters.

But considering that in field battles, this kind of large weapon is indeed difficult to use without a commanding height.

Moreover, without the obstruction of high walls, this bulky equipment can easily be destroyed by demons when they find an opportunity.

The price of each of these Qi Cannons is enough to buy the lives of hundreds of players.

If this goes bad, who can withstand it?

Therefore, in the final decisive battle on the front battlefield, the players really could not serve as the main combat force. Originally, they wanted to see if there were any more powerful practitioners in Mujing Fort itself and let them serve as the main attack.

Now it seems that the burden of the main attack will probably fall on the people of Quanjitang.

"The demons facing forward don't need any special treatment." Jiang Xue held the cup in both hands and said with a smile.

"Look, we've already driven away the demons on the southwest side. Even if that high-level demon lingers on, it won't be able to fight any more."

"Then we stopped the demons attacking the north, and you stopped the demons attacking the west. The demons on both sides of the battlefield suffered heavy losses."

"Under this situation, they are actually no longer able to fight. Now they are only relying on that half-step great demon to hold on."

"Ah? A half-step demon?!"

When Song Zheng heard this, his hand holding the cup of water shook violently.

"Did the demons even send out a half-step great demon this time?!"

The half-step great demon and the Xuan-level true meaning strong man belong to a similar class.

As long as they are given time, there is a high probability that they will be able to enter the next great realm.

However, in front of earth-level practitioners and real big demons, they can only barely withstand a few moves, and there is even a high possibility that they will be killed by their opponents.

Therefore, whether it is demons or humans, they will try their best to avoid appearing in the area controlled by the other party, so as not to be hunted down by the other party's strong men.

It turned out that this time the demons did not follow the usual path and hid a half-step demon in the army!

Song Zheng knew very well that their castle lord was only at the late Xuan level, and was still quite far from the Zhenyi level.

If a fight breaks out, the main castle will have no chance of winning!

"Don't panic."

Jiang Xue took another sip of water, and then seemed to feel that the water temperature was not hot enough, so she secretly raised a little red flame in her hand and slowly burned it at the bottom of the cup.

Song Zheng no longer cared about the safety of the cup. He immediately pricked up his ears, ready to listen to Jiang Xue's next words.

"A half-step great demon is not that powerful." Jiang Xue shook her head slightly.

"And we have people here who are responsible for dealing with it. I guess they are about to take action by now."

……

At this time, outside Mujing Fort.

"The north was repelled, the west was repelled, and Lao Ba in the southwest was almost killed on the spot."

A demon leaning on a crutch spoke slowly to a humanoid demon in front of him in a hoarse voice.

"Since the Quanji Society has set its sights on us, it's time for us to retreat."

"Can't we attack Mujing Fort by force?" the humanoid demon asked without looking back.

"better not."

The cane demon shook his head slightly.

"The true meaning of Shaling Town is still missing. Maybe he is in Mujing Fort now."

"If we attack proactively and get held back by them, humans from other places will come around and we might suffer even greater losses. We should leave while we can..."

"Stop it."

The humanoid demon was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

"Okay, then notify them to evacuate north."
