Chapter 230 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
The next day, early morning.
The heavy snow is still falling, and Ding Jilin has just come back from outside, dragging two behemoths behind him, the mountain wild boar, a wild boar that can grow to weigh dozens of tons when it reaches adulthood. This is an A-level mission that happened to happen in the morning. Anyway,
I had nothing to do, so I just did it.
In the snow, Chen Xi was dressed in military armor, riding a white horse, and was about to return to Yunzhou with a group of Yunzhou cavalry, while Shi Lan was also riding a fierce horse, saying goodbye for a while.
"Yo……"
Chen Xi glanced at Ding Jilin, who was dragging two mountain pigs, and said to Shi Lan, "You are a good captain... You are smart and hardworking, and you actually do all the dirty and tiring work yourself."
Shi Lan glanced at Ding Jilin and said, "The Sky Tower is a bitterly cold place after all, and it is incomparable with Tianji City. After all, there are still 20% of the land in Tianji City that can be used as arable land. Our northern border is better, there is not even an inch of land for growing crops."
, so I can only be more frugal."
"I know, I know!"
Chen Xi pursed his lips and said, "I will raise the next batch of food and grass as soon as possible. It's a bit annoying to say that I don't know when the food ban in Yunze Continent will be lifted."
For hundreds of years, the Chu Dynasty of Yunze Continent has issued a "food ban" since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which means that grain and grass between states are not allowed to be transported privately, and must have court documents before they can be transported. This directly led to the four southern states
Food from the land of plenty cannot go north, but all the food for the Sky Tower comes from the three northern states.
"It's useless to complain about things that can't be changed."
Shi Lan pursed her lips and said, "I'll send you off just a short distance away. There are still a lot of things to deal with in the Sky Tower."
"Go back."
Chen Xi clasped his fists on the horse, looking heroic, and said with a smile, "See you later, Lord Shi Lan!"
"See you!"
Shi Lan turned around and led a group of Fire Lotus Cavalry back to the Sky Tower, while Chen Xi led 3,000 Yunzhou Cavalry along the original road back to the land of Yunzhou.
…
In the early morning, another level A was spawned in the Xifeng Camp. They went to mine granite in the distance to strengthen the wall of the Xifeng Camp. This task was taken over by Ding Jilin as soon as it was spawned, because he had always wanted to strengthen the city wall.
After all, he is someone who has experienced the last war. He knows the power of the abyss and the undead. The current wall made of pine fences in the West Wind Camp can resist the ghouls and the giant-mouthed ghost soldiers, but once the death knight, the abyss knight, the abyss mage
When the high-end units arrived, the pine wood wall was in vain.
Therefore, it is best to continuously reinforce it, replace the city wall with pure stone, and then ask Shi Lan for a few heavy cannons, one heavy cannon, and archers with arrow towers. The defense of the West Wind Camp will be quite impressive.
He was so happy that he led 100 Fire Lotus Cavalry out of the camp and headed south. The reason why he only brought the Fire Lotus Cavalry was naturally selfish. NC monster killing can be upgraded, so Ding Jilin planned to practice this skill. Criticize the Fire Lotus Cavalry and connect them into level 120130 Fire Lotus Cavalry. Wouldn’t it take off?
Amidst the sound of horse hooves, Ding Jilin led everyone forward quickly.
About ten minutes later.
"Um?"
When Ding Jilin opened the big map again, he suddenly found that the big map seemed not to be the same as yesterday.
"Huh?"
He was slightly surprised. He took out a screenshot of a large map he had taken yesterday, and then compared the details of the large map in front of him. Sure enough, his feeling was correct. It was indeed different. The changes were a few small maps to the south of the Sky Tower!
On the big map, several small maps heading southeast into Yunzhou are now blood red! Obviously, the map has changed from a map that only refreshes wild neutral monsters to a map occupied by hostile forces.
And there is the only way for Chen Xi to return to Yunzhou!
Could it be said that the target of the undead and the abyss is Chen Xi?!
"yes!"
Ding Jilin slapped his thigh suddenly. Shilan was as strong as the Sky Tower and guarded by fifty thousand fire lotus cavalry. Therefore, the undead and the abyss could not do anything. But what if Tianxuan Hou Chen Xi was intercepted and killed on the way?
Then, this is enough to severely damage the power of the northern border of the human race. After Chen Xi was ambushed, Yunzhou became a land without one. 20 Yunzhou cavalry came from various states and counties. They only obeyed Chen Xi's orders. Once Chen Xi fought
If they die, the 20 Yunzhou Cavalry may begin to split up, fighting on their own, and no one will listen to anyone else's orders.
Therefore, the ambush and killing of Chen Xi was most likely a secret move by the hostile forces in the north! This was a major omission in the human camp that even Shi Lan did not expect.
"Oh shit!"
Ding Jilin gritted his teeth. It was too late to return to the Sky Tower to send a message. The only thing he could do was to lead a hundred Fire Lotus Cavalry behind him to rescue Chen Xi and see if he could turn the tide!
He suddenly turned around and shouted with cold eyes, "Brothers, the undead, Abyss may have sent troops on Chen Xi's way back. Their goal is to ambush Chen Xi. Are you willing to go with me to help Tianxuan Hou Chen Xi? If
If you go, I can't guarantee that you can come back alive!"
Everyone in the group of Fire Lotus Cavalry was so angry that they pulled out various inscribed weapons with a clanging sound and said in unison, "I am willing to obey your command, even if I die, I will have no regrets!"
Ding Jilin's blood boiled a little, and the next moment, a system ringtone came to his ears.
"Ding!"
The system prompts you to trigger the main mission to rescue Chen Xi!
Mission content: Go to the battlefield, lead your troops to rescue Chen Xi, and ask Chen Xi not to fight
If Chen Xi dies in battle, a large amount of your reputation will be deducted. If Chen Xi escapes in the end, you will receive extremely generous rewards and even have the opportunity to receive a gift from Chen Xi himself.
…
SS level mission!
Ding Jilin was completely excited!
I have to rush for this SS-level mission! .??.
Moreover, in the setting of "Tianxia", SS-level missions may reward the top equipment of the current version. As for the heaven-defying SSS-level super main line missions, let alone the rewards, there is a chance to reward artifacts. Now
stage, if you can get an artifact, you will definitely take off on the spot!
"Whoosh!"
Ding Jilin turned into a phantom, opened up his speed, kept tapping the ground with his feet, and even used the stunt "Hundred Steps", and he was able to get there a minute earlier!
About fifteen minutes later, a snowy valley appeared ahead. At this time, there was a shocking sound of killing in the valley, and a huge crowd of ghouls, giant-mouthed ghost soldiers, skull knights, etc. were seen densely outside the snowy valley.
In the snow valley, the Xia clan's battle flag of the Yunzhou cavalry could be seen waving in the distance. The 3,000 Yunzhou cavalry led by Chen Xi were already fighting with the undead and the Abyss army.
"superior!"
Ding Jilin's sword flashed coldly, and instead of charging head-on, he chose to kill him from the side in the forest.
Behind him, a group of Fire Lotus cavalry cut through the waves, waving their weapons constantly to kill low-level monsters such as ghouls and nesters who blocked the road. In the blink of an eye, Ding Jilin rushed to the hill on one side of the snow valley, overlooking the battlefield from a high position.
In the distance, countless abyss knights were densely packed in the Snow Valley Pass, blocking the way back for Chen Xi and others. A large number of skull knights and death knights also appeared on both wings, one riding a fire unicorn and holding a broken artifact in his hand.
Led by the boss, they stormed Chen Xi's position.
It’s Shen Ye who steps on fire again!
Ding Jilin felt a slight shiver in his heart. Even Shi Lan might not be able to suppress the fire-walker Shen Ye, but could Chen Xi?
Obviously, it can't either.
In the snow valley, Chen Xi waved his fists, and the majestic Qi surged all over his body. He punched with martial strength, and a "peng" blazing fist sprayed tens of meters high, blasting a group of abyss knights into a rain of blood, but after turning around.
A figure appeared in the sky, and Shen Ye struck with a sword.
"die!"
Chen Ye's whole body was shrouded in the rich power of the abyss, and the divine weapon Judgment shimmered as he slashed down with a fierce sword.
Chen Xi gritted his silver teeth and finished breathing in an instant. Rich fist energy gushed out from his body, and he blocked the opponent's sword with his wrist.
"Peng——"
Amidst the loud noise, an impact heat wave overturned the surrounding Yunzhou Iron Cavalry and the Abyss Knights one after another, and Shen Yeqi, the fire-walker, The burning Qilin took several steps back, while Chen Xi dragged a ravine on the snow. Although his momentum remained intact, a wound appeared on his wrist, and blood was flowing.
"I can't beat you..."
Ding Jilin could see the strength and weakness at a glance. He pointed his sword downwards and said in a deep voice, "Kill down and open a way for Chen Xi to stay alive and meet up with the Yunzhou Cavalry!"
"kill!"
One hundred fire lotus cavalry raised their swords in unison, and the seas of flames kept buzzing, as if they were melting the snow valley. Although there were only a hundred people, the power of the attack was quite astonishing, like a flaming sword blade.
They also penetrated into the hinterland of the Abyss Army.
"Um?"
Shen Ye, the fire-walker, turned around and saw Ding Jilin slashing with his sword. He was furious for a moment, "It's that dog thief again, damn... Warriors from the abyss, charge me with all your strength, I want to
Cut off the heads of Chen Xi and that thief, put them together and burn them!"
A group of monsters began to become more motivated.
Chen Xi also frowned and looked in the direction of Ding Jilin. She could naturally recognize Ding Jilin. He was a captain under Shi Lan. His strength was average, but unlike other Fire Lotus Cavalry, this person had a big brain.
of.
However, he only has a hundred fire lotus cavalry, which is a drop in the bucket. Can he solve the urgent need? It's too difficult.
"Keep fighting and break out to the west!"
Chen Xi gave an order. No matter what, Ding Jilin's appearance still gave the Yunzhou Cavalry a glimmer of hope. Now that the Fire Lotus Cavalry has appeared, can Shi Lan be far behind? Invisibly, the appearance of the Fire Lotus Cavalry,
In fact, it is also a kind of pressure for Shen Ye, the one who walks on fire.
If Shi Lan and Chen Xi join forces, there is a possibility that they can kill him!
…
"bring it on!"
Seeing that he was still unable to deal with Chen Xi quickly, the fire-walker Shen Ye immediately opened his left hand and spread his five fingers towards a group of abyss knights, saying, "Sacrifice your lives and help me quickly kill Tianxuan Hou Chen Xi!"
"
Suddenly, wisps of azure silk-like light were sucked out from the mouths and noses of the abyss knights, turning into pure abyss power and rushing towards the fire-walker Shen Ye, greatly strengthening Shen Ye's attack power. At the same time,
Those knights of the abyss were drained of their vitality in the blink of an eye, and turned into mummies, falling to the ground with both men and horses.
"..."
Ding Jilin frowned. This situation reminded him of Gul'dan's evil power in the legendary film "World of Warcraft". The fire-walker Shen Ye competed with Gul'dan. This kind of
Sooner or later people have to die a good death!
As soon as he grasped the hilt of the sword, he rushed out like an arrow from the string, and rushed directly into the sacrificial formation of the Abyss Knights. With a sweep of the sword light, he activated the thunder flow. Since you want to sacrifice your life to gain strength, then
I can only draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron!
