The beast tide has long since dissipated, and the depths of Daqing Mountain have returned to their previous calm.
Zhou Tai led his Sky Knights away after a day of fruitless searching.
He will personally lead the county army to sweep away all the bandits in Dongling County.
As soon as Zhou Tai's actions spread, big families in various towns and cities sent strong men to participate. For a time, almost everyone in Dongling County was suppressing bandits.
Although the history books passed down by later generations have mixed praise and criticism for Zhou Tai, they still affirm his achievements in destroying bandits.
Of course, this is all for later.
At this time, on the cliff beside the river, the village had turned into a pile of ruins.
A small, inconspicuous cliff suddenly collapsed.
One of the hidden caves was revealed.
A person quietly emerged from the cave entrance, it was the bandit king Wang Meng.
"His grandma's family is gone, right? If I can't be a cunning rabbit, why should I call myself the bandit king?"
Wang Meng stood on the ruins of the cottage and took a sip of water.
But there was something complicated about him: "I have been working hard for half my life, and it's over like this."
It is impossible to say that I don't feel distressed.
"Damn it, if you dare to harm me, don't let me know who you are."
At this time, Bai Yan appeared in front of Wang Meng's eyes again, and he attributed everything he encountered to Bai Yan's calculations.
After cursing angrily for a while, Wang Meng pulled out a dagger, took a deep breath and struck his face more than a dozen times.
A face was scratched to pieces and dripping with blood, but he didn't make a sound.
Then Wang Meng endured the severe pain and disappeared into the forest.
...
At the foot of the mountain.
Bai Yan hugged Gungun and had been waiting with Su Yuexi at the intersection for nearly a day, but still no Su family cavalry came down the mountain.
Su Yuexi's injuries have not healed yet, and her face still looks a little pale at this time.
"Tell me, what is your purpose, or what do you want? I will try my best to satisfy you." At this time, Su Yuexi turned to Bai Yan and asked.
She is a smart person, so she naturally knows that Bai Yan, who is not a relative but desperately trying to save her, must be asking for something, and she, Su Yuexi, is not a person who does not repay kindness.
After finishing her words, before Bai Yan could answer, she smiled bitterly: "But if you are seeking some benefit for our Su family, I might let you down.
The one hundred cavalry I brought out this time are the absolute elite of the Su family. They were built at a huge cost, and they are just gone. If I go back this time, I will be a sinner of the Su family, and my help to you may be very limited."
Bai Yan smiled. Since Su Yuexi had taken the initiative to mention it, he wouldn't be polite.
"I want to know where your thunder power came from when you first used a bow and arrow?" Bai Yan got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Su Yuexi was stunned for a moment, and then took out the ice blue bow from the Qiankun bag.
As soon as the bow was drawn out, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the air, and a lot of electric current flowed.
"You mean this?"
Su Yuexi looked at Bai Yan and asked.
He took out another arrow, opened the bow and set the arrow, and the violent thunder power suddenly poured out from the big bow and converged on the arrow.
"call out!"
An arrow was shot, and the arrow held up a blue tail, hitting a tree in the distance, and violent thunder suddenly exploded.
The whole tree was blown to pieces in an instant and burst into flames.
"Husband, this is this big bow. This bow must be related to the Thunder Talisman of the Beginning." Yan Xi's voice sounded again.
Bai Yan looked at the big bow in Su Yuexi's hand, his eyes shining.
Su Yuexi suddenly understood and felt a little reluctant.
But he still handed over the bow.
Said: "Although I myself also have thunder attribute spiritual roots, the power of thunder comes from this big bow. If you like it, I will give it to you.
I should repay you for saving my life."
Bai Yan took the big bow, and with a gentle touch, he could feel the astonishing violent power contained in it.
"Madam, how are you?" Bai Yan asked in his heart.
With such close contact, Yan Xi's exploration becomes clearer.
"I have confirmed that this power indeed comes from the Taichu Thunder Talisman, but it is an acquired infusion, not innate. Although this bow is related to the Taichu Thunder Talisman, it is not in direct contact." Yan Xi concluded directly.
Bai Yan understood and handed the big bow back to Su Yuexi, saying: "A gentleman does not take away what others like, so I will return the bow to you. I use the sword."
Miss Su, can you tell me where the thunder power in the big bow comes from?"
Since the big bow is not in direct contact, you only need to ask about the source.
Su Yuexi was startled, but she was happy that Bai Yan didn't want her big bow. This big bow was something she cherished, and it would be great if she could keep it.
He said truthfully: "The thunder power in this bow comes from the Lingxi Sect's thunder pool. It is the ability obtained after putting the big bow into the Lingxi Sect's thunder pool for sacrifice."
"Lingxi Sect, Lei Chi!"
Bai Yan said to himself that he had heard the name of Lingxi Sect many times in the restaurant before.
Unexpectedly, this sect is related to the Taichu Thunder Talisman.
Bai Yan asked directly: "How can I enter this thunder pool?"
"It's very difficult to enter the Lingxi Sect, but it's even harder to enter the Lingxi Sect's Thunder Pool." Su Yuexi gave him a strange look.
Every year, countless people want to enter the Thunder Pond of Lingxi Sect, but almost all of them fail and cannot even enter the main gate of Lingxi Sect.
Su Yuexi naturally imagined Bai Yan as that kind of person.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Miss Su just needs to tell me the method."
Now that he knew that the clue to the Thunder Talisman was in the Lingxi Sect, he had to go there no matter how difficult it was.
"If you want to enter the Thunder Pond, the most basic condition is to become a disciple of the Lingxi Sect. If you saved my life, I will help you and introduce you to the sect.
With your strength and talent, you have a chance. Whether you can enter the Thunder Pool in the future depends on your own luck." Su Yuexi said again.
"So, thank you."
Bai Yan did not reject Su Yuexi's kindness.
His target is the Thunder Pond, and the process before entering the Thunder Pond should naturally be as simple as possible.
Su Yuexi is obviously not an ordinary disciple in the Lingxi Sect who can bring his big bow down to the thunder pond for sacrifice.
Wouldn't it be foolish to take a long detour when there is a shortcut right in front of you?
"Well, let's go back to Dongling County first."
After saying that, the two found the war horses they had tied when they went up the mountain.
When you come, there are a hundred people and a hundred riders, and when you return, you have two people and a hundred riders.
Seeing the empty sky above the other ninety or so war horses, Su Yuexi felt sad again.
This is not even heroic, because they were just affected by the tide of beasts.
The whole army was almost wiped out without even fighting a serious battle.
"Gungun, do you want to ride a horse with Aunt Su?"
At this time, Su Yuexi saw the cute Gungun again, and her mood improved inexplicably when she saw this girl.
Gungun shook his head. Although she was no stranger to Su Yuexi after a day together, she still didn't want to get off Bai Yan.
And Bai Yan didn't dare to let Su Yuexi lead Gungun.
After all, this guy looks cute, but he is actually a real humanoid beast.
After transforming, the power in her body was as full as a small sun, and even Bai Yan felt palpitations.
If it happened accidentally, Bai Yan was worried that Su Yuexi, who was already injured, would be beaten to death.
