The first thousand four hundred and ninety-eight chapters(1/2)
Da da.
The monster named Dying rode a horse up the stone bridge and walked up to the bamboo pole monster.
"Are you a monster?" he asked condescendingly.
"yes."
The bamboo stick monster's voice is weak and can only be heard when it is quiet.
On his deathbed, the commander waved his hand to silence all his subordinates.
He got off his horse, squatted down and looked at the bamboo stick monster, "Why are you helping him?"
"Because we are brothers and friends."
"friend?"
"right."
"Very good." He stood up before dying and said, "Get my knife."
The bamboo stick monster raised his head and looked at the sunset on the Western Mountain.
Why stand next to a shining person and let him shine with you? Bullshit! I want to shine by myself now!
"Crack!"
The head fell and blood flowed.
…
Dark clouds over the city.
Cao'er stepped on the stool and looked beyond the battlements to the edge of the plain, with a worried look on his face.
Of the three groups of troops who were defending the enemy outside, two groups have returned.
The west route is the earliest to come back.
The terrain where Shi Jingtian was located was difficult to defend, so they retreated as soon as the defense line was breached.
On the east road, only the old monk, Huo Yao'er, and eight or nine twin swordsmen came back.
Qiu Fan was killed by the monster when more monsters gathered in the valley and touched the cliff at night.
As for Huo Yao'er, if Cao'er Qian hadn't asked Wan to ask the old monk to ensure Huo Yao'er's safety, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back.
Now only the young monk on South Road is left.
Looking south, Cao'er's brows furrowed with each second that passed.
On the horizon to the east and west of the city wall, the demon soldiers are marching towards Shennong City in an orderly manner. In less than an hour, they will surround Shennong City.
There were footsteps behind me.
"The young monk hasn't come back yet?" Shi Jingtian led the people up the city wall.
Cao'er shook his head.
"Why did it take so long?" Shi Jingtian asked.
In fact, they all took a long time to come back. Shi Jingtian, who came back earliest, was one day late from the agreed date.
Not for anything else, just because they know that if they hold on for one more day, the city wall can be built stronger.
Not only that, after the city wall was built, the people had to prepare boiling oil, stones, etc.
As long as they hold on for one more day, the people will be more prepared, and they will have more hope of holding Shennong City.
Although they know that this hope is slim, this city will be captured sooner or later, either tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or tonight.
But they are not ready to retreat.
Shi Jingtian told Cao'er that when the city was destroyed, Cao'er would lead Huo Yao'er on Jianmu together and climb up step by step to survive as long as he could.
It's best to wait until Shopkeeper Yu gets the news and rushes for help from Donghuang.
He told Cao'er that Huo Yao'er was now their fire.
As long as Huo Yao'er survives, sooner or later he can blow up the gods of the Central Plains.
A gust of wind blew and rolled up Cao'er's hair.
Her heart became more and more uneasy.
Since going down the mountain, her memory has been slowly recovering. Although she still can't remember everything clearly, some memories have come back.
Especially these days.
In her dream, she vaguely saw herself and the young monk sitting on a stone bridge, bathing in the setting sun; or planting herbs in a medicine garden near the lake.
Everything is beautiful.
It's so beautiful that Cao'er doesn't want to wake up from his dream.
Boom, boom!
Under the dark clouds, the dark demon soldiers approached.
Their footsteps made the city walls tremble.
The swords in their hands make everything quiet and the wind calm.
Above them, groups of flying monsters were hovering.
Some monsters even tried to fly above the city wall to detect the enemy, but were frightened away by the arrows fired by Shi Jingtian.
Bows and arrows exploded in the air, and kerosene shot out in the air, like fireworks.
"He can't come back." Shi Jingtian sighed.
Under the city wall, monsters from the east and west were surrounding each other, slowly filling the space south of the city gate.
Cao'er closed her eyes.
She never imagined that when she returned to Shennong City, she would actually become her master.
"Cao'er, studying medicine can't save people."
The words the city lord said to her back then were still vivid in her mind.
Now, for the first time, she truly felt the meaning of this sentence.
When dark clouds were closing in on the city and demons were closing in on the city, she really couldn't do anything.
Cao'er opened her eyes and looked at the person behind her.
A few months ago, they were farmers, medicine dealers, quack doctors, and rough cooks, but now they came to protect the city.
They were trembling.
Some people even want to run away.
Cao'er doesn't blame them.
Not only those who have always surrendered, but also people like Shi Jingtian, who are known as god-slayers and who fight against monsters every day, also know that this cannot be done.
But still have to do it.
Shi Jingtian once stood on this city wall and said to his God Killer: “We occupied the old place of Luo City, now Sword Bone Hill, and when the monsters attacked, we retreated;
Occupying Baidi City, the ancestral palace of swords, we retreated when monsters surrounded us.
In the eyes of all monsters, no, not just monsters, but in the eyes of all monsters and people in the Central Plains, we are clowns, a group of cowards who are destined to never achieve great things!"
"It wasn't until we used gunpowder to blow up the city wall, kill the monsters occupying this ancient and famous city, and take it back into our human hands that the gods of the Central Plains finally became afraid!"
"Why are they afraid?! It's because we used gunpowder to tell them that mortals can also kill gods!"
"It's because we told them by occupying Shennong City and told them by using gunpowder! We humans are back!"
"Today, we will not retreat!"
"Because we have no way to retreat, and because we don't want to retreat anymore."
"We need to use our blood to let them know that we are no longer slaves who allow them to bully us! We are no longer cowards who dare not fight after they took away our wives and daughters' first night rights!"
In this Shennong City, the God Killer will use his blood to arouse resistance from more and more people!
…
Brother and sister Goudan and Goushi stood beside Cao'er.
Suddenly, Goudan pointed in the distance, "Yes, there is a horse!"
Cao'er raised his head and saw a lone horse running from the horizon behind the surrounded demon soldiers.
At the same time, another group of demon soldiers were chasing after Duma.
The lone horse is like a headless fly, crashing into an airtight net.
The demon soldiers besieging the city turned back and aimed at the lone horse.
The single horse kept walking and rushed towards the net as if it was death.
