The battle outside Horse Shoe Fortress continued, with explosions and shouts of killing coming from time to time, but the sounds gradually faded away, and it could be heard that the human army was retreating.
The inside of Horseshoe Fortress has calmed down, especially the pig-eared demon in front who is famous for his gluttony and laziness. He has completely lost the will to fight.
He was lying on the ground, with a pig-headed sledgehammer pillowed under his head, one leg resting on the other, dangling from time to time, eating a grape in his mouth, eating one, and spitting out a piece of skin, very leisurely.
Sun Ran pulled Zhao Shan and appeared. He heard the noise, his ears dangled, and he turned around and saw two human children in ragged clothes with dirty mud on their faces. Compared to his tall and strong body,
, these two little people are completely dwarfs, no, no, no, the dwarf even praised them, they should be two mice.
‘My belly can easily crush these two little guys to death.’ The pig-eared demon concluded, and then classified its opponents as non-threatening.
He was too lazy to get up, so he turned his head and shouted: "Little guy, don't run, I see you, come here quickly!"
Sun Ran and Zhao Shan lowered their heads, as if they were extremely scared, and moved over step by step.
The pig-eared demon waited for them to get closer, then turned over and sat half-sitting in the shadow under the fruit shop. He picked up a pig-headed sledgehammer in one hand, raised his fingers in the other hand and dug his ears, looking at it with his round eyes.
There were two children from the human race in front of him. After a while, he sighed loudly: "The human race is so ugly!"
"Look at yourselves. Your skin is so thin and tender, without even a single scale. How can you fight? You, a little boy, are as skinny as a bamboo pole and have just a little more muscle than a mouse. What the hell!"
Use? And you, you little girl, what are you hiding from? Look at you, you have breasts but not breasts, you have butt but not butt. It’s just a meat stick, it makes people sick to look at it, it’s ugly, it’s so ugly!”
Zhao Shan clenched her fists with both hands and made a clicking sound. Her face turned red and she wanted to explode: 'No one has dared to say that to me!'
"If you remain so arrogant and we part ways after we get out of here, don't bother me," Sun Ran warned.
Zhao Shan's angry expression immediately changed, she hugged Sun Ran's arm and smiled: "I'm just joking." She also wanted to learn how to immortalize the soul, so she couldn't offend Taoist ancestors.
The pig-eared demon spoke again: "The existence of ugly and weak things like you humans in this world is a tragedy. Today I will do a good deed and destroy you!"
He raised the pig-headed sledgehammer that had been used as a pillow. He raised it high and shouted: "Long live God Hades! You guys, come here! Stretch your head over and let me hit it. It will be quick and there will be no pain at all."
No."
Sun Ran pulled Zhao Shan over and looked very docile.
"Very good, a smart move. What a smart little guy. When I smash the hammer, I will consider hitting it more cleanly, and I will never be sloppy and make you suffer more. Don't worry."
Sun Ran walked up to the demon. The demon had a lazy smile on its pig face and was about to hit it with a pig-headed hammer.
At this moment, Sun Ran's hand that had been in his pocket suddenly stretched out and sprinkled it hard on the pig-eared demon's head, causing a large stream of light red powder to fly quickly.
The pig-eared demon immediately covered his eyes with his hands and screamed: "Ah, sneeze, sneeze, ah! My eyes, my eyes! You two damn things. Go to hell!"
He rubbed his eyes with one hand and swung the pig-head hammer around him with the other hand to protect himself.
Sun Ran chuckled, already pulling Zhao Shan to jump away, and then took out a ball as big as a fist from his pocket. He pulled out the wooden bolt on the ball, and there was a faint green smoke coming out, and with a flick of his hand
Yang, the ball formed a graceful curve, and in the expectation of the gods, it accurately entered the pig's ears' trouser pocket.
"Boom!" Fire erupted from the pig-eared demon's trouser pocket, and the demon roared: 'Master, this punishment is too painful~~~ah~~~~~"
Then, his strong body fell to the ground, lying on the ground with smoke coming out of his trouser pockets, and his body twitched spasmodically from time to time.
"What did you throw in his crotch?"
"Bombs made of black powder have a lot of steel balls added inside. I don't know why, but black powder is quite powerful in this world."
"Oh, then this is enough for him." Zhao Shan felt a chill.
Sun Ran pulled Zhao Shan and ran for a few steps, then jumped into the river with a 'plop'.
As soon as she entered the water, Zhao Shan instinctively grabbed Sun Ran's body like an octopus, completely acting like a landlubber.
She quickly contacted Sun Ran: "Hurry up, hurry up, what other tricks do you have, use it quickly, I'm about to drown!"
"Don't worry, I won't be able to hold you back for five minutes. I'm already ready."
Sun Ran let her hold him, held his breath, took out a few iron blocks from his leather pocket, stuffed them into the pockets of both parties, and then took out a bunch of folded hollow tubes from his leather pocket, unfolding them into a
The two-meter-long tube was first inserted into Zhao Shan's mouth, and she explained: "The mouth of the tube has already stuck out of the water. You can breathe through that one. Hold it."
Zhao Shan hurriedly took the tube, took a deep breath, then frowned and said, "My chest is still tight and I don't feel comfortable."
"This is the effect of water pressure, it won't kill anyone."
At this time, he took out another foldable tube and assembled it in the blink of an eye, becoming his breathing tube.
"Okay, follow me, let's go out of the city... Hold on to my clothes, don't get lost."
Zhao Shan complied.
After walking for a while, she asked again: "I remember that there is an iron fence between the inside and outside of Horseshoe Fortress to prevent underwater sneak attacks. How will we get out then?"
"Don't worry. I'm ready. I have something good in my pocket."
"Okay, I believe you. But this water is really fishy and smells like blood."
"Of course, haven't you seen so many fresh corpses floating on the water?"
The two of them walked all the way and soon arrived in front of the underwater fence of Horseshoe Fortress. The fence was composed of steel bars as thick as an arm, and the steel bars were inlaid with dagger-like iron thorns, basically eliminating the possibility of underwater invasion.
Sun Ran reached into his leather pocket, first took out a small bamboo stick, and rubbed it on the steel of the fence, revealing the new iron inside, and a slight iron smell came out.
Then he took out a small jar and opened the lid, and a blue light came out from inside.
"Ironophage, this is a good treasure. I collected it accidentally."
As he spoke, the blue light from the jar floated out, followed the iron smell and wrapped around the steel fence, and began to corrode the iron bars, focusing on the hole made by Sun Ran.
The iron bars quickly became thinner, melted, and finally broke at a speed visible to the naked eye, and an exit half a meter in diameter appeared.
"Let's go, we are free." Sun Ran got out from the exit. After Zhao Shan came over, they continued walking out together: "There is a city wall outside. Walk a while under the water and then come out."
"good."
The two of them walked another half mile before Sun Ran felt relieved and said, "Let's go to the shore."
Horseshoe Fortress is built on a mountain, but the east and west sides are flat wilderness, but the river banks are rich in water and grass and densely covered with reeds.
The two of them entered the reed marsh and then emerged from the water.
"Phew, my skin is soaked with water." Zhao Shan complained.
"It's good to be alive." Sun Ran said with a smile. He left the reed swamp and looked into the wilderness in the distance. He saw that the demons and humans were still fighting endlessly in front of them.
Basically, thousands of demons were chasing after them, while tens of thousands of human soldiers were fighting and retreating, leaving countless corpses along the way, both demonic and human, with a ratio of about one to three.
The combat power of a single demon is five times that of a human being, but when it becomes a legion, the distance is reduced, and at most it can only be one against three.
Sun Ran looked at it for a while and then made a judgment: "Although the human soldiers retreated, their formation is not disordered and their morale is not lost. It is obvious that something is holding them up, and there should be reinforcements."
"Well, isn't this normal? I must be waiting for a certain mage. The human race can stand in the world and become a powerful race only because of the support of the mage." Zhao Shan made a judgment after taking one look.
"Come on, let's go and have a look. I just have a chance to see the fighting power of mages in this world." Sun Ran sneaked along the river.
"That's not it. These thousand sword-hand demons, as long as a four-star mage comes, they can turn the situation around, and if a five-star mage comes, they can be wiped out by one person." Zhao Shan is very familiar with this world.
"That's quite impressive." Sun Ran nodded.
After walking some more, Sun Ran suddenly stopped, stopped talking, and switched to data communication: "Look at the front, what is that sneaky black figure in front of you?"
Two hundred meters ahead, a strange humanoid creature wearing a black silver-patterned robe, holding an ebony stick in his hand, with hair like withered grass, skin as withered as a corpse, and a body as hunched as an eighty-year-old man was lurking by the river.
Zhao Shan took one look, and a gloating smile appeared on her face: "That's a lich, a type of necromancer. It follows the combat corps so secretly, and it must be preparing to sneak attack the human mage who comes to support. Hehe, this time,
This human army is probably going to be completely wiped out."
