Overcast clouds cover the place, and light snow falls.
In the sky over Tonggu County, Du Kang and a white charming peacock said goodbye, circling each other.
Viewed from the air, Tonggu County is in ruins. Many mortals are rushing to repair their houses in the snow, but more people are dragging coffins to be buried outside the city. Some don't even have coffins, they are wrapped in straw mats and carried outside the city.
.
Compared with the living people, these dead people are all unfortunate, but compared with the people who turned into fire spirits during yesterday's lava demon chaos, they are quite lucky. At least they still have complete corpses instead of turning into fire spirits.
ash.
Du Kang could see that more people could only walk out of the city holding the ashes of their relatives. There was no cremation custom in Tonggu County, but the lava demon thoughtfully cremated them, saving their relatives the pain of carrying the bodies.
"Although the journey is not far, it is also a long and mountainous journey. I don't know when I will see you again. Du Lang cannot forget me."
"It is better to stay together with Shangjun than to forget each other in the world. Shangjun should not forget me."
Du Kang flew away from the sky above Tonggu County amid loud laughter, without looking back and showing no regrets.
Bi Fang, with blue, white and red feathers intertwined, flew to the side of the peacock: "Just let him go like this?"
"He has to leave. The Rakshasa cult is coming. Should we bear the thunder for him?"
"What a ruthless woman. She was a good lover who helped you kill the Black Tiger King. I have pity on my good brother-in-law. After being used by you, I was abandoned by you. Yangchun County is in chaos now. This time he
I don’t know if I can survive if I go back.”
"The good brother-in-law you call me, before I left this morning, he forcibly took away a piece of Sumeru Stone from my place. I still have to settle the account with you. How about a 50-50 split between you and me?"
Feng Dake: "..."
On a roof in a corner of the county town, a woman with a black silk shawl and picturesque features looked at the retreating figure in the sky, her eyes full of attachment.
Suddenly, she sensed the message coming from the blue talisman in the Yin Shen, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. She turned around and walked off the roof. In the courtyard, men dressed inconspicuously were packing up their belongings, and it seemed that they were about to leave for a long journey.
…
The cold wind blows off the remaining leaves on the branches, and the feeling of winter envelopes the whole world.
Zhang Danwei was galloping on the mountain road. She looked panicked and turned her head to look behind her from time to time.
At this time, Zhang Danwei was not wearing the black clothes she always liked, but was wearing white clothes and a white horse as she trudged through nearly a foot of snow. The snowflakes fell on her shoulders and condensed into a layer of ice scab, and the hot breath in her mouth and nose condensed into white mist.
.
Suddenly, the white horse's front hooves stepped on a snow nest, and half of the horse's body fell into it. Zhang Danwei was also thrown off the horse, and she fell to the snow.
After rolling a few times on the soft snow to relieve the force of her fall, Zhang Danwei stood up straight. The first thing she did was not to pat the snowflakes on her body, but to listen to the sounds coming from her.
It wasn't until I was sure that the only sounds in the snow forest in the mountains were the rustling of falling snow and the shrieking of cold wind blowing on the branches, that I felt relieved and let out a heavy breath.
The white horse in the snow nest was panting heavily and struggling in vain. On the broken horse's leg, the bone stubble pierced the skin, leaving hideous wounds.
The horse was obviously not going to survive, so Zhang Danwei stepped forward and stabbed the horse in the head.
"It's been hard on you carrying me all the way, but don't worry, you won't have to suffer like this again."
Closing the horse's eyes lightly with her hands, Zhang Danwei walked toward the mountain forest beside the road. She took the main road to save energy. Since the horse died, it was safer to walk on the mountain road.
But the figure in black that appeared in front of her stopped her in her tracks.
"Instructor Zhang attaches great importance to love and justice. He couldn't bear to let his beloved horse freeze to death in the snow, so he actually killed it with his own hands. It's really admirable."
This man's voice was hoarse, his face was as white as paper, and he stood quietly in the snow with a steel knife in his hand.
"People from Wusheng Cult? Which Dharma Protector are you? You all have dead faces. I really can't remember your appearance."
"Hahaha, Coach Zhang is really eloquent, but the name is not important. On the road to hell, don't forget that I am the one who killed you."
bass--
An ice pick shot out from under the snow, and the man in black dodged sideways to avoid the naughty blow. Before he could rejoice, an ice pick pierced the sole of his foot at the new foothold.
"ah……"
The scream stopped abruptly after only half a sound. Zhang Danwei jumped in front of him at some point and stabbed the man in black into the side of the neck with a short knife. With a slash along the direction of the blade, the throat, trachea and blood vessels were all cut off.
Also cut off his shouting.
"Do you think you are lucky to be able to escape here? You have to be more careful when killing people, otherwise you will be killed."
The short sword was returned to its sheath, and the long sword was unsheathed to decapitate the dying man in the dark night before him. Zhang Danwei ran towards the mountain forest without looking back.
After a delay, Zhang Danwei had already heard the intensive sound of horse hooves on the way. She didn't have the skills to tread on the snow without leaving a trace. She couldn't hide her footprints in this heavy snowy day. Since she was overtaken, she could only use the rugged terrain to hide her tracks.
Buy yourself time.
Puff-Puff-
The horses' hooves made a strange sound on the snow. Thirty or so black-armored cavalrymen rushed to the side of the man in black whose body was separated. The leading cavalry dismounted to check the wounds, and then saw the horse corpse on the ground and the horse body submerged in the forest.
's footprints.
"It's Zhang Danwei, leave two people to look after the horses, and the rest will follow me to search the mountains. We will make a contribution today."
At the command, the black-armored cavalry all dismounted and ran into the forest following the footprints.
This group of cavalry walked through the snow-colored mountain forest with fallen leaves, like a long black snake winding in the white world, and soon disappeared.
Only the two cavalrymen who stayed behind gathered the horses of their companions and tied them to the trees on the roadside to prevent them from getting lost. Then they ate dry food boredly in the cold wind.
A giant silver wolf appeared silently beside the mountain road. Its fur the same color as the snow hid its figure. Looking at the right moment, the silver wolf jumped.
The ice blade spat out of the wolf's mouth slashed across the neck of a cavalryman, and then pierced into the body of the horse behind him. The cavalryman's head flew high into the sky, and the injured horse neighed in pain.
Suddenly, the entire herd of horses was in chaos. Without the comfort of their owner, fear made them all want to break free from the reins, and the horses neighed endlessly.
The last cavalryman drew his sword to protect himself, but his throat was bitten by the silver wolf that pounced on him. He clutched his neck in pain and fell off his horse, trampled to death by the chaotic horse's hooves.
After that, ice blades flew among the horses, and the minions of the silver wolf became sharp weapons for killing horses. In just a moment, more than thirty horses fell into a pool of blood. The warm blood made the heat rise on the snow.
Silver Wolf released his mouth from the last horse's neck and was about to retreat when he suddenly saw a sudden black patch in the snow out of the corner of his eye.
The instinctive crisis made it exert strength on its limbs and jump away from where it was.
But it's still too late!
A thick and long crossbow arrow shot out from the forest, piercing the silver wolf's hind leg, and the remaining force continued to pierce through. If the silver wolf had not jumped up at the end, this arrow would have hit its head.
A group of black-armored soldiers ran out of the forest. The cavalry that was originally tracking in the forest now appeared here.
"Instructor Zhang, you ran really fast. I almost lost you. Don't you know that for soldiers, there is no chance of entering the forest? How dare we chase down a Blood Clothes practitioner in the forest?
Monk, just admit defeat this time."
The leader of the cavalry opened his mouth to stall for time, allowing his men to take the opportunity to complete the encirclement of Zhang Danwei and cock the divine machine crossbow. At the same time, he secretly complained in his heart.
He thought Zhang Danwei would come back, but he didn't expect her to come back so quickly. In this time difference, more than thirty horses were all killed, and now he could only walk back on two legs.
The lame Silver Wolf lay still and did not move, letting the cavalry encirclement become smaller and smaller, and stopped struggling.
Zhang Danwei was too tired. Several days of escaping and fierce fighting had already exhausted her physical strength. Now she was seriously injured and could no longer struggle.
Zhang Danwei, who was lying on the ground waiting for death, saw in her pupils a long-winged bird-man flying over her head. She suddenly thought in her mind, if she could also have a pair of wings to fly in the sky, would today's situation have a different outcome.
But without if, the cavalry were getting closer and closer, and she was about to die. She couldn't help but laugh at herself, it turned out that she was also so afraid of death that she had such ridiculous thoughts before she died.
In the sky, the winged man flying by suddenly turned back, and a familiar voice sounded high in the sky.
"Teacher Zhang, long time no see, but you may need my help."
