A ray of light came in, Ding Xu squinted his eyes slightly, and then opened them wide.
"Ah You!"
He stood up suddenly, turned around and tried to escape, but he didn't realize there was no other way out of the hut. The girl stepped forward and reached out to grab his wrist.
Ding Xu opened his mouth to speak when someone outside said: "Miss Yu, are you here? Have you found it?"
Ding Xu felt his pulse tighten and his whole body felt cold. The girl said in his ear: "Don't make trouble, be quiet."
A young man with a stern face came in from the door. Seeing that the girl had already grabbed a strange young man, he relaxed a little and said, "Miss Jade, have you found her?"
Miss Jade smiled and said: "I found it, Brother Ouyang. Look, this is the hostage."
Ouyang Zhou didn't take a closer look. Anyway, the bandits and the hostages were all disguised as frontline soldiers. He couldn't do anything to them. He still took a step forward dutifully and announced: "Fellow, it's okay. The bandits are all here."
I ran away and you were saved."
Ding Xu chuckled: "I have to save someone..."
Then I felt a heat, and a stream of internal force came in from the pulse door and traveled around the whole body. The whole body was already warm. This internal force was quite regular, and it only moved around briefly before stopping. But if the owner of the internal force uses a little more force,
With a little strength, it may burst into the heart out of control, with disastrous consequences.
In an instant, his life was in someone's hands. Ding Xu knew this was a warning, so he had to shut up and cheer up secretly. Girl Yu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, you'll be safe if you just follow me."
Ouyang Zhou had already searched the cottage and found only some supplies of dry food and a magic bag originally stored in the cottage to transport food. It could hold a lot of things and was quite valuable. He handed the bag directly to Miss Yu and said: "
this is for you."
Miss Jade smiled sweetly and said, "I'll take it first. Both of our things can be put in it."
Ding Xu looked at the expressions and movements of the two people and curled his lips, but since he had already fallen into his hands, he naturally had nothing else to say and followed the two people down the mountain.
The three of them went down the mountain and came to the mountain pass. Miss Yu put Ding Xu on her horse, meaning that they wanted to ride together. Ouyangzhou was a little surprised and said, "Isn't this inconvenient? Let him ride on my horse."
"
Girl Jade chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm lighter, and he won't crush the horse. Otherwise, how can one horse carry two big men?"
Ouyang Zhou hesitated for a moment, but he felt something was wrong. He saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him. Two horses were running towards him first. Looking from a distance, he saw that there were hundreds of monsters chasing after him.
One of the knights on the horse saw someone here and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! There is a puppet coming."
Ouyang Zhou said loudly: "Qin Yongcheng?"
Immediately afterwards, he saw Qin Yongcheng's situation clearly - the two of them were being chased by more than a hundred puppets, and the situation was extremely critical. Although their horses were fine horses, they were exhausted and were about to be overtaken.
Ouyangzhou shouted without hesitation: "Qin Yongcheng, come over here!"
When Qin Yongcheng turned around and saw Ouyang Zhou, he laughed and said, "Don't be stupid. You still have a girl."
Ouyang Zhou shouted: "We have a good location here and a way to escape. Where else do you want to run?"
Behind them is Bandit's Mountain. It is called a mountain, but it is a pile of bare boulders. The mountain walls go straight up and down. It is very steep, comparable to a devil's city in the desert.
How about saying that the bandits are fake? This place is in need of water and food, and the birds don’t lay eggs. If the bandits build a stronghold here, wouldn’t they expect to starve to death?
Qin Yongcheng also saw the advantage there, hesitated for a moment, and then rode over.
Ouyang Zhou said to Miss Yu: "You..."
Miss Jade smiled and said, "Of course I will follow Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang Zhou said: "Okay, then let this person go. He is not a candidate, so he should do whatever he is supposed to do."
Miss Jade said in a casual tone: "He should follow us. Otherwise, if these puppets randomly separate out to chase him, wouldn't they risk his life?"
Ouyang Zhou nodded. Although it was a bit annoying to see the hostage's handsome appearance and Miss Yu holding him tightly, it was not the time to care about it at this time. He asked Miss Yu to lead the two horses first and lead the others first.
He hid behind him and met Qin Yongcheng on the spot.
Qin Yongcheng and Feng Ling ran over and successfully joined Ouyang Zhou. Ouyang Zhou said in a hurry: "Follow me, I'm familiar with this place."
Although it is a fake village, in order to increase the difficulty of the exam, the fortifications are not bad at all. Once the suspension bridge in front is raised, the village walls are high, the traps are deep, and the iron bars are stacked on top of each other to block horses, but ordinary skills cannot climb through them.
Come.
But some of the puppets behind were tall and might be able to push them straight in. Ouyang Zhou didn't dare to stop in front. He led them to the back village and reached a pass that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Just stopped.
Qin Yongcheng and the others dismounted and sat on the ground, panting from exhaustion. Ouyang Zhou leaned in front of a pillar of a sentry stilt building and said, "What's going on with you? Where did those messy things come from?"
Qin Yongcheng told the story, and explained how the two of them had gone through so much trouble and ran away to get here, and said: "We are still chasing and escaping, but the valley behind should have already been a decisive battle for the group. There must be someone in the talisman bush.
The powerful puppet is sitting in the middle, and this is also the tacit approval of the examiner. Mr. Tang probably doesn't like the small team's slapstick, and wants to engage in real legion combat. It's just that we are separated from the large army, but we have lost the opportunity for a real decisive battle."
Ouyang Zhou said: "It's a bit like that. I didn't expect that Tang Jiaoyu didn't teach military strategy, but he liked to arrange big scenes." He patted Qin Yongcheng and said, "Don't worry, your performance will definitely be noticed. The army will be large."
Not everyone has to charge forward, scout, suspect, cover, and break up the rear. Every part is important. Isn’t your role important? Even Tang Jiaoyu can see that."
This means that Tang Zhaocai loves to play again. Qin Yongcheng quickly changed the subject and said: "It would be great if I could escape without Ouyang you. What else can I say? By the way, that cute girl next to you is not us.
Classmate? Who is it?" At this point, he winked and showed a "you know" look.
If anyone else had asked this question, he might have blushed, or had to cover it up in a hurry, but Ouyang Zhou was a cold face and never blushed. At the moment, he just said: "This is a good friend I met on the road, Yun Zhongyu."
.”
Qin Yongcheng rarely relieved himself from the tense atmosphere, and smiled and said: "What a good name, a good person, and a good name. He is also a 'good friend'. He is really good everywhere."
Ouyang Zhou asked: "Who is this friend of yours?"
Qin Yongcheng said: "My old friend in Jing'an Division, Fa Xiao Feng Ling, was originally from Lingzhou. Later he came to Yunzhou to escape bandits. He and I were neighbors for several years. In the past few years, we went our separate ways.
I thought it would be difficult to meet again in the future, but today we actually met again."
Unlike Ouyang Zhou and Yun Zhongyu, he and Feng Ling didn't meet by chance like Ouyang Zhou and Yun Zhongyu. They had nothing to introduce except their names. They were real old friends. They knew each other well and trusted each other, so they told their history clearly. The reason why I said so much,
It also means to show that Feng Ling is trustworthy.
When Ouyang Zhou heard about Jing'an Division, his face showed no emotion. Instead, he nodded and said, "So Brother Feng is also from Jing'an Division? So is Miss Yu. Jing'an Division really produces talented people and beauties."
Feng Ling frowned and said: "What? She is Jing'an Division, but..."
But with a "boom", a watchtower in the front village had been knocked down.
Looking from a distance, the huge talisman puppet figure swept over like a whirlwind, turning everything it went into powder.
A few people couldn't care less about chatting, so they jumped up one after another and shouted: "Here we come!"
At this time, several horses were still resting nearby. A few people tacitly ignored the horses and turned back to the wall of the village. It was safer to let the horses stay behind.
Just as he ran along the wall to the front, he saw Yun Zhongyu running over and said loudly: "Don't go to the front. Artificial fortifications cannot stop the big guy. Only natural rocks can block it. Let's withdraw and go to the back."
"
Behind the cottage, there is a "stone forest" that goes straight up and down, which is the core complex of the "Devil City". Several people hurriedly ran to the stone wall and saw that the cottage had been flattened. A huge puppet was driving in.
A group of five people stood on the stone wall together, looking at each other. Although they each had their own thoughts and completely different positions, they were now really comrades in the trenches.
Seeing more than a hundred puppets getting closer and closer, a few people were lying on the boulder without saying a word, but Ding Xu said first: "Guys, let's run away first? Should we stay here and wait to die?"
The others ignored him, which seemed to indicate that he had not done well in school. Ouyang Zhou thought that he was just a hostage and had never gone to school, so he explained briefly: "It's a plain when you go out, no obstacles or danger, there are many people there.
We have fewer people and are faster, so we can't escape. Why not take advantage of the favorable location and take a risk?"
Ding Xu said: "How to bet? That big guy has flattened the wall. If you are swordsmen, you have one sword per sword, but aren't you just knights? Are you a swordsman?" He looked at Yun Zhongyu.
Yun Zhongyu said: "I am not a swordsman, but I can definitely fight. After all, we have the advantage of the geographical location."
Ouyang Zhou hummed. He had learned the art of war well and thought: "When we attacked the village before, we saw a few dead ends. That should be the key. We divide these guys into several parts and introduce them into the dead ends respectively. Can they get out?
Come, naturally we can't join together, so we can divide and conquer."
Yun Zhongyu said: "The key is the big guy. The other talisman puppets are okay. I tried it, but I couldn't cut the big guy with my magic weapon. I can only move around slowly, so I have to lure them away and lead them to different places.
Go into a dead end. Then we can concentrate on dealing with one, and it will be much easier."
Ouyang Zhou said: "This big guy is indeed powerful, but isn't it essentially a talisman puppet? It is made of a talisman. As long as the talisman is destroyed, it will become a pile of scrap copper and iron."
Yun Zhongyu praised: "Brother Ouyang is so smart..."
Qin Yongcheng said bitterly: "Guys, there is a problem here - these puppets are controlled by puppets. They will not easily divide their troops, and they can be easily lured into dead ends. Even if they enter dead ends, they will turn around. I'm afraid it's not a plan to easily
Left and right."
Yun Zhongyu was startled and said: "But I just tried to seduce it, that is, an ordinary talisman puppet. It was stupid and followed my bait and left. Why can't it be seduced?"
Qin Yongcheng was stunned, then suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted: "That's right! There is only one such powerful puppet. It followed the large army. Aren't the ones who are left chasing me just scraps of metal?"
After thinking about this, his morale was greatly boosted, he stood up and said: "Okay, let's tear down this junk together!"
